Hi
Sorry mike, don't think anyone wants to play raid
Reaction on Jaiden new video
You made foolish miss calculation what about Growlithe into an Arcanine thats one too only 2 stage pokemon
it is one because in the anime is a legendary Pokémon so that pokemon is alowed to break the rules and be a sudo-legendary pokemon even though should have came as a legendary
@@bigppgamer9140 I do just got it
I always thought gen 5 had so many that could have been clased in the category. Haxorus and Volcarona that certainly looked the part. Volcarona being mistaken as a legendary by many when they first played Black and White and they came across it at level 70 in a static encounter.
Until recently I always thought haxorus was the pseudo legend in unova and completely forgot about hydreigon lol
Volcarona is only 2 stage though and also it’s a static encounter at level 35

Personally I think that Dusknoir could’ve been in this video, since bulbapedia says that it may be based on “A Japanese one-eyed mountain-dwelling creature named the Yamawaro,” and it’s OVER SEVEN FEET TALL. In fact, it’s the exact same height as Corviknight, being 7′ 3″.

I like how Pokémon sizes in the anime are inconsistent, because if Pokémon existed IRL, I don’t think every Pokémon in a species would be the same size. It also shows this in Legends Arceus, so I think it makes since for Pokémon sizes to vary.
I wish the creation trio were a bit bigger though, my Alpha Garchomp is only slightly smaller then them. It's almost comical.
@@belphy205 The creation trio IS bigger though. Despite being really good with scales, PLA dropped the ball when it came to creation trio.
Alpha Garchomp is 2.945 m tall. Palkia is 4.2 m in regular and 6.3 m in Origin, Dialga is 5.4 m in regular and 7.0 m in Origin and Giratina is 4.5 m in Altered and 6.9 m in Origin (though being serpentine in that form, that measurement might be from head to tail instead of standing).
So all of them should be significantly bigger than Alpha Garchomp, but in the game, they just aren't.
@@Lahiss shame. I want that sheer terror and Majesty of fighting Gigantic legends.
The Pokemon anime has shown at times that Pokemon species have different sizes. The Charicific Valley episode showed that Ash’s Charizard was ironically small compared to other Charizards, even though Ash’s Charizard is way above average in size. Charizards are supposedly 5’7” on average, but the ones at the Charicific Valley were like 12+ feet tall.
Legends agrees with you
To my child self, pseudo-legendary translated as “hard to get and looks cool”. With that in mind, I would absolutely consider Milotic and Volcorona. Zoroark also has mythical Pokémon vibes to me, though maybe not pseudo.
"Hard to get and looks cool" describes Rhydon in gen 1 too. Rhyhorn only found in one area, high evo threshold, only really seen in late/post game?
@@defeatstatistics7413 rhydon is slept on design wise. Hes so cool looking
If absol had an evo line tho...
@@TRLPlayerOne Hard agree, i love Absol
@@b0rder.-991 yep, I just caught a shiny Rhyhorn in PLA and I have so much more appreciation for that line now
Goodra has the fact its actually horrifying as well, goes on murderous rampages, and is so strong it can accidently kill people by hugging them. It reminds me of the bunny that way in monty python and the holy grail. Deceptively cute but monstrously powerful
Just throwing in my two cents about Volcarona that everyone else has already brought up. I literally thought it was the pseudo for that gen, and I figured it was based off of Mothra or Battra or something
Volcarona.
Yes, it needs one more evolution stage, but it could be added easily with a cocoon-like middle evolution. It does look the part, it has an AMAZING moveset and -here comes the bias-, I freakin' love it.
I hope so too 😭
Since both of you have the same profile picture I thought you were agreeing with yourself for a second.

and the archaludon
@ObrigadaJim not a pseudo. Only a 2 stage line
@@066kshitizvsingh4 still 600 bst, all japanese comunity considers it a pseudo.
They did the Nido line dirty by making them so short
I think the size inconsistency from the anime was addressed somewhere (cant remember where), but essentially they have a generalized height in the games and in the show but can grow to be much bigger than normal due to experience or training.
theres definitely a standard size with variations. i forget which pokemon game but you could fish for pokemon of different sizes like say a magikarp for example, and who ever caught the biggest one won a prize.
@@raiden3013 yes very true. I csnt remember the game but I do remember playing that challenge! Feels like a D&P or B&W game not sure tho. But either way, the games and the anime really don't align a whole lot when it comes to specific details. Alot of liberties taken by the anime for good reason of course.
The Let's Go games also have size variations for wild Pokémon. Smaller Pokémon that usual have a blue aura and bigger ones have a reddish orange aura, excluding size changes obviously. Also, due to wild Pokémon appearing in your screen, they actually have accurate sizes! Like Onix, who takes up at least a sixth of your screen from how big it is.
Yeah, I think that some of the biggest inconsistencies are with the weather trio, because in the anime, Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza are supposed to be straight-up kaiju
Despite having a two-stage evolution line, *Volcarona* is literaly the best candidate to the pseudo-legendary status, when considering his power, appearence and evolution group. He's even on the right place in the Pokedex: right before the legendaries of the region.
Volcarona is more like a Demilegendary, like what Snorlax originally was, not entirely unlegendary as the name "Pseudo" denotes.
And it evolves late as f*ck for a non mythical, especially a bug type
And also Volcarona is used as the champion's ace, just like dragonite, metagross and garchomp
I wish it had a cocoon middle evolution. Maybe something resembling a stereotypical depiction of the sun, with rays?
It even resembles a kaiju a bit: Mothra
Even though it didn’t meet the requirements, Arcanine should have been a considered since they are labeled as legendary Pokémon
Yep.

@@cobalt7248 it’s only for people who are curious and see something and think they can get away with it
the next pseudo legendary should be a bug type. i feel this way because bug types have a really bad stigma around them mostly due in part to the majority of bug types being very weak. If we had some late game, super powerful bug type pokémon, i feel like people would give them a little more love. Also you could easily make a kaiju-type monster for its design, that would be awesome.
The first Dragon/Bug type, maybe?
Maybe a massive hornet-like Pokémon?
I feel like scizor looks cool and could be a pesudo legendary based off looks but it is pretty weak and only has 2 stages of evolution
@Aldeeni the Great
Do you know what the name of the big lion beast that’s on the left side of the screen is at 4:28 that Mikey is showing
Golisopod and scoliopede were actually very strong in my playthroughs but competitively aren't that great. There's also scizor and heracros as strong but Pokemon
7:45
Baxcalibur: haha keep wishing❤❤
After playing Legends Arceus, maybe it's for the best that "looks like it could kill you" wasn't made a requirement. If it was, Paras would have to be there.
IT IS TERIFYING
The amount of fricking blackout’s
I just press y and then +
If it was, Amoonguss would kill me by loss of air, because i would laugh too much that i would die
since no hater of fun has responded here, Paras is a 2 stage evolution and is not tall enough to ride (alpha Parasect doesn't count)
@@ImPersonNation :(
In my opinion I think it should be a requirement that the pokemon is rare to find, you don't find a dratini in any route, you don't find a gible in any route, you don't find a dreepy in any route, they are pokemon that appear in only a few specific routes and with very low probabilities of appearance, a pokemon that appears in almost all the routes of the game could not be a pseudo-legendary, although it is only my opinion
In Sinnoh you find gible at the power plant route 13
I don’t agree because that change is as easy as raising their stats. You just have to make them available in fewer areas.
Yeah like what @Yorec F said I think the pseudos are only as rare as they are because of their status. If something like Haxorus was a pseudo they’d probably make it way harder to find
@@lemonhead19 hell, Haxorus in BW1 is almost as hard to find as Garchomp in Platinum. You can catch an Axew in a cave that you have to backtrack to or find a Fraxure on Victory Road, both of which are basically identical to Gible and Gabite, respectively. I think their spawn rates are just a little higher. I think the only Game Freak decided not to make it a pseudo is because they thought it would be too strong for a gym leader’s ace, even the eighth’s.
literally just drop their chances of appearing thats easy to do
How could you forget Coalossal? Its 9 feet tall, has a three stage evo all by leveling up, and its level up speed is almost slow enough, and its BST is 510. I think it deserved the buff. You may also think it looks too object like, but it really looks like Giant Stone Golems from mythology.
Omg I completely forgot about that one I agree
Meh
@@brexalissongalan3272 meh? MEH? You think togekiss fits as a pseudo anymore than coalossal?
If Luxray gets to be on this list I think Nidoqueen and Nidoking should. They look pretty rideable to me.
Always thought of Aggron as a pseudo when I was a kid. I loved having it on my team bc it felt so powerful, learning it wasn’t was sad, it’s such a cool behemoth of a Mon.
100%
a shame we didnt get poke mecha godzilla to rival Tyranitaur.
i knew it wasnt because its not dragon type
And the fact that it’s literally tyranitar’s RIVAL!
It is the mecha Godzilla to tyranitar’s Godzilla
@@ithinkpigeonsarecool tyranitaur isn't a dragon either...
Goodra does fit that “mythical” category actually! It’s based on a French monster often treated like a dragon in its infamy called the “Lou Carcolh.”
Oh, cool

Mikey: prehistoric creatures alive today is fictional.
Crocodilians and sharks: am i a joke to you

It's kind of funny that he mentioned Aggron because in X and Y, Lairon was exclusive to X while in Y you would get Pupitar. Even the games themselves once compared Aggron to a Psuedo-legendary

@@derpedpotato8563 didn’t they do that 2 years ago?
We don't use a hyphen in pseudo legendary!
Volcarona should have been given a middle evolution and the 600 base total there is even in game lore about how In ancient times ppl would use its flames during dark times to replace the sun and apperently it was born from a flaming cocoon to save ppl and pokemon when temperatures are too low its design its amazing it really should've have a been a pseudo plus a bug fire moth based on the sun would be a fucking cool pseudo
it also looks like mothra
Speaking of middle evos, why do none of the moth Pokemon have a middle pupa stage? The only one that does is Dustox, and that's only because Wurmple also evolves into Beautifly.
@@SpookyShadyGemlin The fact that Tyranitar and Salamence have pupa stages and Volcarona doesn't will never not be funny to me.
Ikr
lol I read it as volcanion as first and I was so confused
I am so glad you mentioned Haxorus. Haxorus is one of, if not my absolute favorite Pokémon and it’s a shame it’s not considered a pseudo legend. I also kinda wish it wasn’t a pure dragon type. Think about it, it’s mouth has a literal metal axe in it and it’s body is covered in steel armor. Same goes for it’s pre evolutions. If the Haxorus line aren’t perfect representations of a Dragon/Steel type Pokémon, then I don’t know what is.

@@zacmayes2802now his evolution has 600 stats
The ones I completely agree, and I am amazed to get reminded every time they are not pseudos are: Aggron, Flygon, and Haxxorus. The only other addition I would make is Volcarona, but it definitely would need a cocoon stage. Also, the Nido lines should be merged into one line with gender differences, and made bigger. They look the part, but their canon size is baffling.
i personally think drapion could work as well
I had no idea Nidos were so small. I always thought they were at least 2m tall, they always looked gigantic to me.
The worst part about the nidos is that they are based on kaijuus so their small size is even more infuriating.
@@aikou2886 Pocket Kaijus :)
@@robertlupa8273 And now I thought of V-Pets lol. Digital Monster Version 5's whole roster is based on kaijuus.
I feel like Milotic would be a good choice if it had a three staged evolution line. Milotic would look like it would be based on a Sea Serpent and is very large!! Also goes for Gyarados
@Danganronpa Kid I agree
@Danganronpa Kid personally I think dragonair should evolve in to Gyrados
I assume pseudos don't cover the starter types so that the player can use both the pseudo and any starter without overlap. If that's true, which it has been so far, Milotic and Gyarados wouldn't qualify.
@YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE and magikarp should evolve to dragonite because it has those whiskers
Dratini->Dragonair->Milotic
Haxorus is my favorite Pokémon of all time from my favourite gen and I genuinely actually thought it was a pseudo legendary! It’s just such a beast and damn the shiny is so cool! Also corviknight is probably my favorite regional bird I know there are like other classics but I just love this guy he’s so badass looking!
Look, one that is surprisingly pretty close to the definition is Eelektross. It's really big, seems like a monster in its weird way, have slow growth rate, is the 3rd evolution of a line (by lvl up), and it's only missing the base stats (515, less than 100 off, which I find not so much)
I personally feel like Grimmsnarl could make a good Pseudo-Legendary. It’s fearsome and threatening, and looks like it could kill you easily. It is also based on trolls, ogres, or Oni, all mythical creatures.
Agreed
Then Hatterene would have to be one too since they're counterparts.

@@shivayammarhe5415 then grimmsnarl wouldn't be one because it looks human-ish
I feel like Volcarona could be a Psuedo legend. It evolves at a late level and has its own signature move, so it could be possible.
@@meisya1102 i know your a bot but y tho
Problem with Volcarona is that it is a two-stage evolution line. Larvesta evolves directly into Volcarona
@@Gemini-Lion Yeah fair point but if they add another evolution (maybe inbetween or tweak some stuff with Volcarona) then it could work
I used to think it was legendary. It could pass as one.
Love Volcarona but his LV requirement is tedious
when i played the pokepark game for wii (i think it was the 2nd one) the rhyperior in that game always gave me a sense of power and might, like it was just meant to be a legendary. i never heard about the pokemon before playing up to that point, and i honestly thought it was some sort of mythical or legendary
Corviknight is so cool looking that it’s the first regional bird that I ran through my first play through. Easily one of the best designs they have ever introduced into the series.
Same I rarely use them, I almost always used Fearow in Silver (never the Pidgey line) and iirc I used Toucannon in Moon.
It’s surprising that Haxorus wasn’t made the pseudo legendary since it’s very similar to Garchomp, having high attack and decent speed, you get them in a cave that you can’t access until after the sixth gym with an HM (not counting Platinum since they removed the boulders which was the smart thing to do) and they both evolve into their final forms at 48
I actually thought Haxorus was a Pseudo Legendary
I'm pretty sure the only reason they lowered its stats (and thus not making it a Pseudo) is to allow it to be used by Drayden (or Iris in White) despite being a Gym Leader. After all, every Pseudo Legendary has always been in possession of a "Boss Trainer" you fight after beating the 8th Gym (or the equivelant in Alola).

I was half expecting to see grimmsnarl. While it may not be tall enough, it definitely looks really imposing, and looks mythical beast-like.
I thought the exact thing when he said only one pokemon from galar
Perhaps it is because it is kinda humanoid, having inspiration from trolls
I thought grimmsnarl was the pseudo-legendary at first, because it had a gigantamax form and I saw pictures of it earlier than I saw dragapult
I thought Grimmsnarl or coalossal, which I think both are better than corviknight
I feel like the problem with coalossal is that it is basically a sentient pile of coal (I still love it tho)
I think that Grimsnarl would be a good psuedo legendary pokemon but I think it might be a bit to small(I'm not sure on it's height)
Haxorus and Aggron *NEEDED* to be Psuedos

Absolutely thought he was going to say “Coalossal” for the Gen 8 Pokémon, and I think it and Corviknight make equal sense as candidates for Pseudo Stats
I always wandered why grimmsnarl is not a pseudo (maybe stats or exp speed) but i think they meet the criteria pretty well
Exp growth is Medium Fast, stats are 510. Too bad, though, it really fits the aesthetic of a pseudo-legend.
It’s not dragon-like
I think Volcorona is an Excellent Candidate, It is big, Fearsome, and literally a static encounter in BW and BW2.
And all it needs for another stage is a Cocoon form like Pupitar
@@AznYunHou what if instead the middle phase is kinda like a middle ground in which it hovers off the ground a little has the little wings come out of the back. It is like learning its true powers of levitate, would still have legs but it is learning not to use them so it has them a little bit folded in like Volcarona
I kinda like to consider it a Pseudo Mythical, due to the fixed encounter aspect.
You think its a candidate?
I use to think its a litteral legendary because i never found 1 exceot in the cave area
I was like 14 that time
It needs another stage.

Technically, Corviknight's already really strong; being absolutely carried with the attributes of being a Psuedo-legendary relating to size and height and the coverage is surprisingly good, yet its stat total really is very low in my opinion and deserves a boost, because it's honestly one of the best Pokémon to use in a team in the middle of the Gym Challenge because how good I think it is.

Okay. I'm gonna stand up for goodra here. There was never any rule that said that the psuedolegends needed to be fierce looking. The first pseudolengendary, Dragonite, isn't going to be topping people's lists of scariest looking dragons. As someone who's played the games since gen 1, I thought Goodra was a nice return. It has a charm and personality that some of the 'cooler' p-legends lack. It feels more like a throwback to the original design philosophy. It's definitely deserving of its status, and I hope the future brings more like it.
And looking fierce and being fierce are two different things. How many people would put hippos at the top of their scariest animal lists? Yet they are THE most dangerous animal on a continent known for its deadly animals.
I could see Noivern being a good candidate if the 3 stage requirement wasn't a thing.

I don’t think it’s meant to be base on legendary weapons. I think it’s supposed to be regular weapons but possessed by the spirit of a fallen soldier or knight.
@@fiddlemyfoddle6374 Yeah it might be based on that but the way the sword of Aegislash is designed looks very holy. Like a holy sword like Excalibur possessed by a evil demon and now it's become ghostly
It’s based of aegis
@@williamdarrylntouba7983 Ohhhh. I'd never heard of the Aegis until you. That makes sense. I admit I was wrong.
Something that would also make sense to aggron being a pseudo-legendary is that you can only catch him in two parts in the entire hoenn region, just like gibble ( as you don’t know but you can catch gibble and gabite in the victory road as well )
THERE IS NO HYPHEN IN PSEUDO LEGENDARY! AND THERE SHOULD BE ONLY ONE B IN GIBLE! *ONE!*
They're a bit obscure but Corviknight could be based on Valravns, crows from Scandinavian folklore that could turn into knights
Also Haxorus' shiny version also makes him look even more like a Psuedo legendary with him being all black and the red parts of him still remaining which makes him looks like a pitch black dragon which I would say looks very menacing and bad ass.
His shiny matches up with rayquaza's too lol
Goodra is based on Medieval artwork of knights fighting giant snails and slugs, in place of dragons.
First, I love that you mentioned haxorus and corviknight since they are in my top ten favorite Pokemon. Second, corviknight could be a mashup of a roc, a mythical bird who hunted elephants, a crow or raven, and a knight.
Even if it doesn't meet the criteria from you, I think Arcanine and Milotic would be sick pseudos :)
Yeah, I would to see that, Arcanine is my favorite Pokémon, and all they need to do is add an extra evolution and remove the trade aspect
if Milotic was one that means Gyrados has to be one. Milotic was made to be Gyrados's rival. One being physical and the other special
If 2-stages Pokémon were "allowed", Volcarona would definitely be the first contender for becoming a pseudo-legendary
absolutely both my favorite water and fire types
@@bsylve tell that to flygon and salamance
Volcarona should be a pseudo legendary, give it a middle stage evolution between itself and Larvesta, it’s already in the slow xp group, It looks menacing as it resembles Mothra (a kaiju that is a massive moth), and it’s base stat total is 550, but it’s only 5’03 so just make it bigger.
It looks like mothra
Both Ghidorah and Godzilla are pseudo...why not the mothra??
@@WheelStart meanwhile Rodan cries in the corner without a pokemon counterpart
Instead of pseudo legendary Volcarona should be just straight up legendary.
When I was a kid I thought Volcarona was a pseudo legendary
Cool psuedopsuedo legendaries ! Could do another on Psuedo Starters : Nido family, Luxray, lotad, seedot, talonflame, etc. caught early game, three stages, faster level up, could have one core element in the trio or not like electric is a cool psuedo starting type, ground as well !
imagine if you had a competitive team comprised of a slaking and a huge power ability swap medicham, then you could use ability swap with your medicham onto your slaking, making its ability huge power instead of truant
Yeah that attack stats would be to scary
Togekiss would be amazing as a pseudo legendary, as it would be a perfect definition of the “don’t judge a book by its cover” or “wolf in sheeps clothing” idea, as it’s adorable, but VERY deadly if used right
I feel like, unfortunately, Togekiss just wouldn't be classed as one because then Cynthia would have 2 pseudos. I mean, it would be totally on brand for her, especially since she is legitimately the strongest champion, but still
@@Sawa-Kyo I agree, but Cynthia is already the hardest champion so…. Eh
@@Sawa-Kyo she didn’t have it in her original Diamond and Pearl team though. If it was also a pseudo, they probably would’ve had her keep Gastrodon or give her another Pokémon in Platinum. The Porygon Z she uses in her final rematch team in BDSP could’ve worked.
I don't think this is the reason, also because Lance in HGSS Rematches has three pseudos: Dragonite, Salamance and Garchomp.
@@Sawa-Kyo i mean, technically, in the anime, Cynthia was already shown to have a Kommo-O alongside Garchomp. So she already has two pseudos.
Well I like how Goodra is a dragon type that actually looks sweet and kind hearted, it’s a twist to the dragon types. Imagine a trainer thinking that Goodra is weak after it looks up, they are gonna be demolished 💀 Ofc this is just my opinion
Personally i think Noivern should've had an evolution and
been the Kalos Pseudo Legend
Goodra is one of my Favourite Pokemon of all time
Spheal heard your list of requirements and demands a seat at the table like Yondu to the Ravagers.
Spheal roll. Spheal is a beast. An adorable beast.
Luxray based on a Sphinx I think...
Seeing all the love for Volcarona is quite heartwarming, since it's my favorite fron Gen 5.
I also always thought Lucario was Pseudo legendary, since it's quite Mythical... but the 2 stage and base stats fall short.
Personally, I’m kinda happy that none of these Pokémon are pseudo-legendaries. I like that there are plenty of options for a big and imposing member of your team outside of just getting one of the pseudos. Pokémon that are strong enough to take on the pseudos themselves. Aggron is shown to fight Tyranitar all the time. Similarly, Magnezone has been shown to be like a rival to Metagross.
Goodra is terrifying! It’s entire evolution line has issues telling friend from food, and Goodra is relatively massive.
In the actual Pokémon world as a trainer you’d probably have a 6 ‘mon team as a serious trainer. Pseudo legendaries would be the dream “powerhouse” of your traditional JRPG style party. Imagine how large your 2nd strongest member would have to be to ensure your Goodra wouldn’t be able to just CONSUME you and your other 5 ‘mons if it got just a little too hungry to focus on looking at what it was trying to eat.
It’s not scary to your opponents, it’s scary to you and your team
Isn't the whole eating people just sligoo?
@@An_Entire_Lime seems like it. at least most of Goodras dex entries talk about how it hugs its trainer and covers him with slime :P
@@momokochama1844 Goodra can also shatter your entire skeleton to dust with one punch.
@@anothergamer112 yeah, a little bit clumsy, isn't it? :)
Sligoo is the only one that has those problems meaning its more terrifying than goodra.
when I first saw Corvigknight, I thought it was going to be a late game pokemon and that it was going to be really powerful, but then it turned to be just the regional bird of Galar
THERE SHOULD BE ONLY ONE G IN CORVIKNIGHT!
On the topic of size, particularly the anime's size inconsistencies: in the games, individual Pokémon within a species can be different sizes than other individuals, in the games (that's why the fisherman at the Lake of Rage who wants to see the largest Magikarp is there). Meaning that the Dex entry sizes aren't the end-all-be-all's of Pokémon size.
Also about Corviknight: the crow is one of the animals heavily associated with Odin himself
Yup, Hugin and Munin
It surprises me that no one is talking about Coalossal. It is big, 3 stage and could be based on Perses, a titan of volcanic destruction in greek mythology.
true but what about its base stats?
@@SunnyCat_17221 totals up to 510 but could be easy to bump it up, otherwise it’s perfect
@@groovin2357 yeah I guess just like all the other pokemon on the list
object.
@@user-pc7yj7pl6c gigalith.
I will never understand why people always say Metagross is a robot. I've never seen it as one. Just a metallic monster.
"i dont think goodra fits that very well"
Actually there are many depictions of knight fighting large slugs and snails
I wouldn’t worry about the anime size that much. Let’s take Pokémon Let’s Go as an example, all of the Pokémon you catch come in different sizes. They all vary, so the size on their Pokédex entry should be seen as an average more than a definite fact.
Legends Arceus will have the same thing.
I always thought that the size and weight from the pokedex was just an average and not that every single Pikachu weights the exact same
In the real world a specific breed of cat may have an average weight but it's going to vary based on the individual
not every single squirrels is exactly the same if pokemon are supposed to be living organic creatures it wouldn't make sense for them to all be the same maybe with some exceptions like sinistea since they all inhabit a tea cup
@@ShadowFox10587O that was the one thing from the Let’s Go games that I actually liked, even if we couldn’t see it in the overworld sprites. Like, the average Machamp is 5’ 3”, but my roommate at the time had one that was 7’ 7”, which seems far more appropriate given how strong it’s supposed to be.
I'm actually super surprised Volcarona wasn't mentioned as a no for Gen 5. It looks hella mean, is pretty sizeable at 5'3", has an even high BST than Haxorus, is in the Slow leveling group, and evolves late. It's only caveat is that it's just a 2 stager but it would be so dope to have a Fire/Bug Pseudo Legendary!
Not only that but its in-game power is insane. Not many Pokemon can boast having a 4x weakness to Stealth Rock and is still so viable that people would go out of their way to clear the rock for it to enter the fight.
it's not a 3 stage evolution tho
@@Lili-ek7sw yes, they know
@@Lili-ek7sw There are no stage 3 Pokemon... you meant stage 2 Pokemon! (You don't count the basic as a stage because it didn't evolve)
@@arandomcrusader8822 By the way they said it I think they probably skipped the part where he explanes the rules
Just rewatched this. Great vid man. You forgot bidoof... I think he has alumni status or something and should be included in every poke conversation. Lol. The developers must have intended that as I know we've seen some super jacked concept art in memeland.
11:17 I do want to say I think Luxray is more so based on Lynxes (since it has x-ray vision and there were myths about Lynxes being able to see your soul or smth), it has cheek fluff and Luxio looks the part quite a bit (but also lets not forget that pokemon can be based on multiple things and lions could be one of them)
Gotta say, Mikey. You definitely missed out on Eelektross in Gen 5. A three stage evolution with a weak starting mon (Tynamo) that is 6'11", is in the Slow Experience group, is menacing, and has a 515 base stat total. It looks and feels like it should be a Pseudo Legendary (Especially with its Generation 5 Sprite). Highly, highly missed.
It’s on the verge of greatness too! Maybe a better move pool plus stat boost and it would be a menace to society
It also practically has no weaknesses between its typing and ability
I think its main gimmick of having no weakness is what kept it from being a pseudo. It would be ridiculous to give it good stats and have no weakness while most pseudo have 4x weakness to a certain type.
@@icecreamcake5381 it also hurts that it's best stab option is the inaccurate thunder despite the fact that it's more of a physical attacker and wild charge is just so weak compared to all other recoil moves
It is menacing but it’s a little too animal like. It’s just an electric eel rather than being anything mythological
To me one of the most important things would be that they are (in theory) rare. Like, dragonite, what's it's habitat? how many trainers have it? of those trainers, how many are not supposed to be super powerful?
Pseudo-legendary suggests that they are a very difficult creature to find and train, to the point where normal folk could think they're not real.
i agree, wich disqualifies, slaking and corniknight, as they are easy to find in base form and not really rare, same with flygon and haxorus
@@ElysiaWhitemoonOmega first stages might be really common, but I’d say flygon still has that mythical appeal with all de desert lore to it. Tbf I don’t think gible is rarer than slakoth. Getting those pokemon to evolve though, takes a different kind of trainer (in-universe)
If we’re changing stats and growth rates to make them pseudos, we can change spawn rates and locations.
th-cam.com/video/ThbzUM1692g/w-d-xo.html
@@armandocampamartinez8307 slakoth is just a rare spawn in the beginning forest, gible is most of the time in some deep cave, most of time if you just follow the storyline you may never see the pseude first stage, as you need to find them in a specific spot, thats what i mean with rare
Haxorus, rhyperior, electivire and aggron are by my favourite pokémon and yes they look like pseudo-legendaries
Been away from the Channel for a while, I'm glad to hear grunty bois again
I think one Pokémon that could certainly fit the bill to be a psuedo is Grimmsnarl. Looks Menacing, Looks like a mythical beast, has a 3 stage level up evolution line, and while it isn’t the tallest (4’11) it’s not too small neither. It also has a unique typing with fairy and dark.
But garchomp does not have a unique type, sharing It with Flygon, a mon in a generation below.
But yeah i agree.
@@dogedeadidasdavi4 that was never a requirement
Pretty sure 4'11 is indeed too small for his requirements. If he was taller he would work really well tho
As odd as it may sound I think a normal type pseudo would be pretty cool. I’ve always had this love/hate relationship with Normal types, some of the designs are really bad but when they’re good they are GOOD. And I think a pseudo would be a great way to throw some respect on the Normal types
Tyrannitar🧐
@@sean4279 Tyrannitar, my favourite normal type
Stoutland while not fitting the pseudo rules is still worth to get it, I always wanted to use one because of how versatile they can be
@@chriswentz5197 Miltank is a pseudo legendary
18:56 There actually is a bird of metal in mythology! In Greek Mythology there are the Stymphalian birds. While only their beak and wings are metal, that doesn't really make that much of a difference maker, right?
I wouldn't mind if pseudo legendaries had varied ways of evolving
I actually think the anime sizes tend to fit the Pokemon better, with some official sizes being strangely out of proportion. Dunsparce is as tall and or long as Salamence!
Furret is almost six feet tall. Let that one sink in.

@@joshbragg9194 One stage and probably not big enough to ride

I think the best fit was haxorus
Hi Niko!
I thought altaria was pseudo because of how much I struggled in THAT gym
"..... they don't have brains, OK."
"HAHA It is I, Grunty Boi"
Best lead into a Grunty Boi segment.
I particularly agree with Haxorus and Aggron. I always thought Haxorus was a pseudo-legendary anyway.
Especially sense it’s a single type instead of a duel type when it comes to dragons unless it gains the steel or fairy most of the time it makes the resulting Pokémon weaker defensively even the strongest Pokémon including pseudo legendary dragons like salemance garchomp and hydregon can get ruined by the added weaknesses there second type gave them sense dragons only weaknesses are ice dragon and the newest type fairy and resistances to all the elemental types that being fire water grass and electric and are neutral to every other type which is a great spread of type strengths and weaknesses greater then that of steel cause dragons can resist and are only neutral to the most important and common types that you can get on an average play through that being fire water grass electric fighting and ground whilst steel are weak to 3 of those types that being fire fighting and ground so when a Pokémon lets say hydregon even excluding the 4 times weakness to fairy and strictly stick to gen 5 hydregon when fairy wasn’t introduced it still gained a weakness to fighting and made bug neutral it’s not as much of a weakness as fighting and fairy but it nevertheless made hydregon easier to kill compared to haxsorus
This guy gets it
@@SpikeIsSuperWhite me or the idealist
@@necfreon6259 idealist
Aggrons like, my whole thing
Idk about you but I think I could see agislash being a pseudo legendary, I mean Ghost/Steel is pretty good cuz now agislash doesn't have to worry about fighting types, and becomes neutral to dark, and is super effective against a crap ton of types and has the stance change ability which makes it overpowered, being able too defend while being attacked, and attacking better while attacking because of its speed. And its bonkers base stat total and is banned to ubers. So that's my reasoning.
Edit: Thx for all the likes
Yea i could see that but riding pn it would be like riding on a metal spike and it doesnt have a 600 bst
It's weak to dark. Since gen 6 onwards steel types no longer resist dark and ghost, and aegislash was introduced in gen 6 anyway. Also I don't ever see it becoming a pseudo legend, especially how gen 8 actually nerfed it's stats and signature move. Due to this its also no longer ubers. Also a lot of your sentences make no sense. "Attacking better while attacking because of its speed" what is that supposed to mean?
It is to object like and probably couldn't carry you.
Steel type in Gen 6 isn't tanky as previous Gen. Steel type has no resist against Dark/Ghost
@@oodogla oh I mean that when it attacks, because of its stance change and great speed, its attack increases while attacking to do more damage.
