I think my favourite part of Iron Valiant is that it isn't a fusion of Gardevoir and Gallade. It's a fusion of MEGA Gardevoir and MEGA Gallade, just as Roaring Moon is Mega Salamence.
And no one can tell me that it’s fighting animation where it takes off it’s two blades and wields them like a dual-sided staff Darth Maul style isn’t the best thing Pokemon has ever made.
@@kookio4284 it's like Pit from Kid Icarus' weapon being a staff/individual blade stance swap weapon except done EVEN BETTER and its tacked onto the most GENDER pokemon
I also really hope the trope of "small woman, big hammer" never dies. I find it very strange that this combo always works so well but I sure as hell ain't complaining.
Tinkaton is my ideal pokemon. It’s small, cute, and has a face that suggests that it can’t count how many fingers it has. However, what really sells it for me is that it actually has the strength and necessary know-how to make a massive hammer with its bare hands, and that it uses said hammer to cause problems. I also find it hilarious that its preferred prey item is this big majestic bird and that it hunts them to the extent that they changed the whole taxi system. Love this mischievous little goblin. 10/10.
I think what makes Iron Valiant so much more interesting than the other Iron Paradoxes is that it does something wildly different from the other mons: takes TWO mons’ Mega Forms, and combines them cybernetically. It’s just cooler that way, there is no word in that sentence that isn’t cool.
Well im not sure but the only other line that could do the same is the charmander line right ? Maybe Mewtwo but it is a legendary and if we look at the X and Y form they could be on different ends with Mewtwo in the middle.
@@asimovvomisa4040 Well you could remove the mega form part of it and combine parallel lines. Like Nidoking and Nidoqueen, or Dustox and Beautifly, or Accelgor and Excavalier
@@SupermewX300Iron Disciple, the Paradox Pokémon combining all three Hitmons. A kind of ‘hidden limbs’ design where each set of hitmonlimbs fold in and out of the design for different moves… fucking badass
@@asimovvomisa4040 I think It's more due to the fact that Gardevoir and Gallade are two separate evolutions. From ralts Line so fusing their megas make sense. Charmanders line however doesn't have any separated evolution lines. So fusing It's megas wouldn't work It's still Charizard.
It's actually rather funny how he talks about Pikachu gaining other types if he was dripped out, because that's literally what happens in Omega Ruby and Alpha Saphire
Yeah, say what you want about S/V as a game, but the designs this gen were just so consistently good. Got some misses here and there ofc, but I genuinely had so much trouble choosing my casual play through team because I loved just so many of them
@@jmurray1110 Every mid shiny in these games is more than made up for by Chi-Yu and Koraidon’s shinies. Genuinely some of the best GF has made thus far.
honestly the main thing I like about sandy shocks is that the tera hat on it spins around because the part it's attached to is spinning, which is just absolutely comical
What I like about it is that the sand on it is based off of irl magnetic sand, showing that this pokemon was always going to be magnetic, even if devoid of steel.
1. Damn right Winged King is sick asf 2. Tinkaton is amazing, killing a steel bird for fun and crafting a hammer out of it so much, corviknights avoid the region, you notice the flying taxi symbol is no longer a corviknight but a squakabilly meaning they couldn't keep corviknight in that region because it wasnt safe.
Funny story, when I first got violet I chose Sprigatito and decided to name it Masquerade on a whim. I didn't know that it would evolve into Meowscarada, I just chose that name. The reason why I chose that name was because I was playing Branded in yugioh, around the time the game was released, and Masquerade the blazing dragon is pretty good. AKA, Masquerade the tax dragon.
Counter point, Meowscarada is technically a rogue, so he don't pay taxes, he can't be the tax dragon. Also, happy to know that we are all on the same note because I called my Meowscarada Aluber
I caught the first Girafarig I could find, because I was intrigued, and I accidentally caught the biggest one possible. I roll up to every fight and Farigiraf was so broken that she didn’t fit on screen.
I fucking disagree with everything and will now start a war to annihilape everything to the void and stand victorious in the end as the toxic monster that I am and will definitely be proud of everything I did and the life’s I ruined along the way while laughing like a psychopath and do other heinous crimes like breaking spaghetti.

Downside: they made another anthro furrybait starter with Meowscarada. Upside: Its actually aesthetically pleasing to look at. For me Meowscarada was the opposite of Incineroar. With Incineroar, the more I looked at it, the weirder it got. I started to notice its weird tube arms and yaoi hands sprouting out of its weird dorito shaped body. Meanwhile Meowscarada stared out making me feel a bit uncomfortable due to the whole furry thing, but looking past that, its a clean design, and the little flourishes it does when performing and attacking give it a lot of personality. My favorite of the three is still Quaquaval though. The rythmic dancing, the confident pose, the flourish of the tail feathers, its got everything. All three were pretty great this generation. Certainly a step up from Gen 8.
Fun Fact: koraidon & miraidon Were The Second Boxart Legendaries Since The Gen 2 Boxart Legendaries/Tower Duo To Be A Legendary Duo. Awesome, koraidon & miraidon Were The First Boxart Legendary Dragon Types To Be A Legendary Duo. Cause The Gen 4 & Gen 5 Boxart Dragon Type Legendaries Are Trios. (The Creation Trio & Tao Trio). And koraidon & miraidon Were Known As The Paradox Duo.
@YasEmisDaBus I named mine Fiora because I wanted to have 2 per mainline game lol Pyra & Mythra were Fuecocco, mareep Tatsugiri and tinkaton were Shulk and Fiora Staraptor and krookodile were Noah and Lanz Goofy kids
6:16 I honestly didn't know that those center things are Bellibolts real eyes and not the goofy white ones on the side of his head. Makes me like it more actually.
Alpha, i swear, comedic timing in this video was on POINT To be fair though, bringing up the trope that Tinkaton uses of being a menace to society while wielding a weapon they definitely don't look like they should be able to use, and showing a picture of Sena from XC3 is kinda just....Accurate, that's the best way to say it.
and then their shinies could've been coloured based on those instead of all just being chrome like imagine Rose Valiant with a rose gold shiny, or Obsidian Thorns, or Azure Hands with that lovely blue
The Legendary/Ruin Quartet, or whatever you want to call them, are so well-designed that they feel wasted on Scarlet and Violet. Especially since SV are based on Spain and they're Chinese.
Technically they are based on Chinese trade routes across Europe so it kind of fits (plus they have a good place on the lore) so I wouldn’t exactly call it a bad mix but the names really don’t fit
If Cetoddle and Cetitan are your enemy, then so am I. But for real, they're my favorite new Pokemon in about...five generations, I think. I just love the big doof energy
You know, for as broken of a mess S&V can be sometimes, can we all agree that the Pokemon design and concept for this generation have been really good, the best one since so long.
i actually hated most of this dex and none of it has grown on me 😭i think some of it lies in the fact that i think the overworld sprites look devoid of all life and have glass eyes lmao, my fav gen in somewhat recent times is alola
honestly i'd disagree. like, i feel like it's really hit or miss with this generation. a lot of them are really endearing and grow on you, but a good chunk of them just are eh at best. like, i personally feel like a lot of the new pokemon are just lazy and less interesting. hell, a bunch of them actually look worse after evolving from the baby stages. stuff like dudunsparse and flamigo i can get behind because it's funny, but some like bramblin and pawmot are just boring because they dont really hit the same way.
3:34 I completely agree with Alpharad. Dudunsparce is my all-time favorite Pokémon, and it's nice to know that someone has a good understanding for this masterpiece of a Pokémon. Rabsca and Tatsugiri are my other two favorite Pokémon. I absolutely love Alpharad's perspective on Rabsca. 🤣 As for Tatsugiri, his perspective on it is great as well. I'm currently attempting to beat Pokémon Scarlet with only a Tatsugiri right now, as of saying this. Awesome video, Alpharad! ❤
I really like your thoughts about fuecoco. They were so intuitive and brought it into a new light for me. I feel as those inspiring words were a great insight on not only the fuecoco line, but Pokémon as a whole. I thank you for the words could change the Pokémon franchise as whole
Honestly, fuecoco is too good to describe with words. The ranking for him needs nothing. All you need to do is look at him, and you’ll see it goes in PEAK.
6:54 ‘Can I just trick out pikachu and it’s just a fire type?’ Yes. Yes you can. All the costumed pikachus and also the surfing pikachu and also the balloons pikachu. Peak content
What you didn’t realize with baxcalibur is that he looks like druddigon and tyranitar fused into one Pokémon. It looks so cool, and you cannot change my opinion.
I have not seen much of pokemon S/V no gameplay seen a few characters. But this video was cool to see them all and Alpha's opinions of them, this guy at 8:23 just looks like baby god zilla lol
@@blobfish1649 Yeah, but the leaf-scarf can become a pair of throat-swords, along with a hidden sword in its' head. But you'd never know that unless you see the animations, because the Violet Paradoxes are _more than meets the eye_ (Transformers reference).

Honestly, I loved Mabosstiff not just cause of the story line (though yes, it did make me teary, I will not deny it), but because he reminded me of my childhood dog, Monster, so I’m glad he’s at least in friend. As for the baby form, agreed, they’re menaces. 1:19 EXACTLY!! 2:54 agreed, I love them 3:15 why’s he kinda look like a Swiss Army knife
I gotta say Sandy Shock was a bit awkward and underwhelming to me, until I decided to give it a try for raids. I can NOT stop smiling whenever mine goes Ground tera, because the "hat" spins. This is much more entertaining than it should and I love it.
Honestly, the issue of no voice for the majority of the Fuecoco line just made the starter slowly rising to peak that much better.

Honestly, fuecoco is too good to describe with words. The ranking for him needs nothing. All you need to do is look at him, and you’ll see it goes in PEAK.
6:54 ‘Can I just trick out pikachu and it’s just a fire type?’ Yes. Yes you can. All the costumed pikachus and also the surfing pikachu and also the balloons pikachu. Peak content
I will NOT stand for Wo-Chien slander
9:25 I agree exactly with you on Pawmi- he’s just slightly bigger and he stood up! That’s it!
I still feel like the future paradox pokemon don't get enough love.
They won't, and that's okay. It's much harder to take them at face value, their animations help them to shine.
@@TornaitSuperBird big agree on this take. Their static designs are less interesting, but their animations are peak.
7:48 Alpharad quote of 2023 ladies and gentlemen.
19:55 common Sena w
What you didn’t realize with baxcalibur is that he looks like druddigon and tyranitar fused into one Pokémon. It looks so cool, and you cannot change my opinion.
I have not seen much of pokemon S/V no gameplay seen a few characters. But this video was cool to see them all and Alpha's opinions of them, this guy at 8:23 just looks like baby god zilla lol
"Andro Valiant" would've been the perfect name for the future Gardevoir/Gallade, it's an androgynous android
I think iron leafs is kinda underrated; can't wait to see that thing in shiny full chrome killer centaur mode
It's just Virizion...but metal
@@blobfish1649 Yeah, but the leaf-scarf can become a pair of throat-swords, along with a hidden sword in its' head.
But you'd never know that unless you see the animations, because the Violet Paradoxes are _more than meets the eye_ (Transformers reference).

@Tornait I've seen the animation but doesn't really change the fact it's just robot Virizion lol
I think all the iron Pokémon are underrated aside from Valiant
16:55 a jugal is a skull bone found in reptiles, amphibians, and birds. I hope that answers your question, my guy.
14:28 miraidon is iron serpent and Koraidon is winged king
Honestly, I loved Mabosstiff not just cause of the story line (though yes, it did make me teary, I will not deny it), but because he reminded me of my childhood dog, Monster, so I’m glad he’s at least in friend. As for the baby form, agreed, they’re menaces.
1:19 EXACTLY!!
2:54 agreed, I love them
3:15 why’s he kinda look like a Swiss Army knife
I have my gripes with scarlet and violet but they absolutely nailed the pokemon. Nothing but bangers from this gen.
Honestly, I agreed with everything you said about Fuecoco. Also, bonus points for loving Sprigatito! My ❤!
the fact that you put all 3 starters in peak is a great reflection on this gen. It was a pretty consistent gen.
I gotta say Sandy Shock was a bit awkward and underwhelming to me, until I decided to give it a try for raids. I can NOT stop smiling whenever mine goes Ground tera, because the "hat" spins. This is much more entertaining than it should and I love it.
Fun fact about Iron Jugilus. It's the only paradox pokemon that was sent to a time it's not supposed to be in twice.
Croconaw having that noise happen during a solid 10 seconds without talking killed me
Unironically a pretty agreeable Tier-List with a few exceptions of course 👍
