      Not gonna lie, I might need a pair of these after seeing why Game Freak thought Mega Gengar was a good idea when they also deleted Shadow Tag Chandelure from existence. Talk about a double standard, am I right?

    A special mention to Gengar's history is Mega Gengar being banned in Gen 9 NatDex Ubers. Gengar gained Encore in Gen 8, and while it doesn't really do a whole lot for normal Gengar, it absolutely broke Mega Gengar in NatDex Ubers thanks to its speed tier and Shadow Tag access. It was quickbanned after the first day of the tier's formation alongside Shedinja and Calyrex-SR (which is a day before they quickbanned Mega Rayquaza and Miraidon), becoming one of the most broken Pokemon ever created.
    Recently this past month, a NatDex Ubers tier was also created for Gen 8 as well (prior to Gen 9, only NatDex AG existed above NatDex OU), and Mega Gengar is unsurprisingly banned in that tier too.
    If Mega Gengar ever comes back to the mainline series, which is likely will given that Megas are returning in Legends ZA, it will likely be subject to the same fate.

    • @monstermaster4524
      @monstermaster4524 20 วันที่ผ่านมา +10

      Probably won't get encore tho. Almost definitely gonna lose it, as in SV some me pokemon lost moves even when traded from other games (maybe in SwSh too, but idk).

    • @the_bookworm8281
      @the_bookworm8281 20 วันที่ผ่านมา +18

      It sorely depends if GameFreak has the foresight to do something about it, since Shadow Tag + Encore is an interaction exclusive to a Smogon tier that is completely made up from the actual games, so I doubt GameFreak would be aware of the interaction from NatDex alone.

    • @MikemasterM1
      @MikemasterM1 20 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

      Mega garchomp was supposed to have 112 speed, talonflame was meant to have 103 attack, etc. as well as a scrapped mega evolution for Jynx.
      But in short yes they would at the very least be aware of the interaction and to balance it, gamefreak did also nerf the ruination quartet's BSTs before releasing SV iirc.

    The only Ghost type in Gen1 and the only line in the entire series that had the Ghost/Poison dual type before Pecharunt.
    Took advantage of every mechanic it could and adapted, not to niches, but roles.

    I feel like people exaggerate the impact losing Levitate had on Gengar's viability. Was it a nerf? Obviously. It lost a lot of free switchins. Some pokemon that had to carefully pick their movesets just to hit it could now do it without much thought. That being said, Gengar was already falling off on its own merit. I seriously have no doubt Gengar would have fallen to UU in gen 7 even if it still had Levitate because it would have been displaced by Blacephelon, but everybody acts like the loss of Levitate was just that damning.
    Sidenote, I've even heard people say Haunter was better because it at least has Levitate, and I'm like uh bro it's still Gengar. You know? Superior special attack and speed stat. Could have at least said Mismagius since it plays differently from Gengar...

  • @SharKing319
    @SharKing319 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

    As I remember from watching it when it happened, the controversy around Mega Gengar in XY Ubers led to controversy in Smogon's XY Ubers council at the time. They first tried to suspect Mega Gengar itself, which led to a "no ban" result. Then, immediately after that, they tried a Shadow Tag suspect test... which might as well have been a Mega Gengar suspect test because it literally couldn't exist without Shadow Tag. This display of double jeopardy raised some serious questions because it basically defeated the entire point of public suspect tests. The Shadow Tag suspect led to a "ban" result, and it was in effect for a little while, but it was then overturned when Smogon's upper management realized what was going on there. As I remember, several people in the XY Ubers council got banned as a result.

    - other gen 5 monkeys
    - Gothitelle
    - incineroar
    - Tornadus
    - Aromatisse
    And I guess we could finish up Gen 2 with Sunflora, Magcargo (Slugma Male Grindset paying off when?) and Corsola. I think those are the only gen 2 Pokemon left to wrap it up.

    One of the simplest yet mot unique, iconic designs in Pokemon (in my opinion at least). And one of the first pokemon to get nerfed DIRECTLY and INTENTIONALLY, instead of being part of general mechanic changes. Years go, many new ghosts are added (most of them, honstely, pretty cool). But Gengar is still THE ghost type pokemon.
    Damn, what a movie. Thanks, FSG. :) *And take rest, damn it, :x).

    I know it may be hard for some to hear, but Gengar shouldn't have Levitate. Our mans does not float. Why should he be allowed to Levitate when Pokemon that are always floating and never grounded aren't afforded that luxury? This was not a punishment, but patching a loophole that this foul gremlin has been exploiting.

    I remember this mega gengar i had running around back in the day. Max speed and special attack, bold nature. Dual STAB, substitute, disable. Great mega kanga counter. Well a decent one at least. It lived a sucker punch. I was still new to competitive back then. EV spreads were meta, but the natures mostly covered the pokemons weaker defense.
