I got something better about Tentacool and Tentacruel for ya. Can you tell me a game or cartoon/anime where jellyfish aren't depicted using electricity that isn't Pokèmon? Yeah it only occured to me when I was watching some Jellicent and Frillish in Sword. Tentacool and Tentacruel are jellyfish and they are water/poison type unlike Jellicent/Frillish who are ghost/electric (I think. I know they aren't poison) and also jellyfish. Jellyfish in real life don't have electricity like electric eels. They inject a poison with their stingers. I thought that was cool that they were depicted more accurately. They could have easily made Tentacool and Tentacruel electric type instead.

It is indeed good, but it just requires a lot of grinding. Not a bad thing but my issue with it was that at least in leafgreen/FireRed that the move power points were really troublesome. Seriously like it gets scratch and low kick. If you want to use it for Brock then you are stuck to train in like 3 routes. All there is are Spearow, Pidgey, Weedle, Caterpie, Kakuna, Metapod, Pikachu, and Rattata. Most of these either take little damage from fighting types or they are just hard to survive attacks from. The only thing you could really train against it consistently is Rattata or Caterpie. To get a remotely good fighting type move you would have to grind like 6 - 10 levels or so to get karate chop.

In my first silver playthrough I caught a bellsprout not knowing I'd never be able to evolve it into a victreebel. But that thing was a beast. Maybe no johto gym leaders are weak to grass per se, but weepinbell got me through the elite 4 and champion. I don't think she was even especially over leveled. In my next kanto playthrough, I made sure I caught another bellsprout, because if weepinbell was good enough for late game how good was victreebel? Very. It basically carried. Victreebel has been securely my 4th favorite pokemon ever since.

This has encouraged me to do a series of Red and Blue playthroughs where I use every evolutionary line. It should take me 14 playthroughs, plus a run through the Elite Four with Mewtwo.

To be fair, Victreebel is actually really useful against Chuck's Poliwrath since it resists both its stab types. I actually kept a Victreebel on my team for about the whole game in my first ever playthrough of Soul Silver, and it did pretty well overall. Side note, I really appreciated how Soul Silver added the pokeathlon dome as a way to get evolution stones before the post game, which helped a ton of pokemon be more viable in playthroughs. In Gold and Silver, you can't get a Leaf, Water, Fire, or Thunder Stone until you're in the Kanto region, which means you can't use Poliwrath, Arcanine, Ninetales, Victreebel, Vileplume, Starmie, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, or Cloyster for your main playthrough, even all of those pokemon's previous evolutions can be obtained in the Johto region.

I've done a bug and grass monotype run for each game, and to be honest, Parasect is really helpful, the Effect spore ability, spore move, it can learn dig and slash, gotta admit that in a normal team it might not be impressive, but it's one of the best members when doing a kanto or johto grass/bug type monorun

Your channel mascot with a Hail form got me thinking about my custom Pokémon region, complete with 120 new 'mons including regional forms and new evolutions for preexisting Pokémon. Of course, the dex isn't finished yet, but I thought maybe I can make an evolution for Castform based on your channel mascot. I call it: CASTSTORM: Normal/Electric Ability: Storm Warning - Works the same as Castform's Forecast ability where its form changes based on weather, featuring a Rain Form (Water/Electric), Sunny Form (Fire/Electric), Hail/Snow Form (Ice/Electric), and now even a Sandstorm Form (Ground/Electric) What's more is that Caststorm comes with two signature moves: Meteorology (name subject to change) and Superstorm. Meteorology is a Normal Type Status move that changes the weather to a random condition, allowing Caststorm to transform whenever it damn well feels like. This may be a bad move, but it could be great. Who knows? Superstorm is guaranteed to be great, however. It's an Electric Type move that, depending on the weather, gains an extra type effectiveness. So not only will it be super effective against Water, but it can also be super effective against Grass, Bug, Ice, Steel, etc during Sunlight; Steel, Poison, Fire, etc in Sandstorms; Grass, Ground, etc during Hail; and Ground, Rock, Fire, etc during Rain. Can I get a "Hail Yeah!"?

Dugtrio surprises me. In all my red playthroughs as a kid, I always went to Digletts cave and caught the Dugtrio rare spawn. I loved that pokemon so much.

Same! Always went to grab a dugtrio in red

I used a Ninetails and Kingler in my play through of Eevee and I have to say they were pretty decent Pokémon to use. I’ve been playing Pokémon for almost 20 years, and it’s awesome that even after all that time, I can find new enjoyment using Pokémon I’d usually give a pass to.

Personally using Kingler in Leaf Green to finally beat the game to complete and its amazing to use and kills just about anything that isn't Dodrio (too fast and Tri Attack can wipe out most of my team anyway) or has Levitate (cause ground type moves are godly on it)

I've been doing a lot of this kind of thing lately, I just want to try and use different Pokemon that I've never used before in a game and not just whatever the newest gen ones are or the same ones all the time. I just try to build a viable team around type coverages along with different Pokemon regardless of looks or stats. You can honestly beat every game with just about any Pokemon, and I've done it.

Dude I see the Kurzgesagt calendar in the background at 6:24, or any part of the Grunty Boi segment

"Pokemon I Never Used" "I used Pidgeot for five gyms but-"

8:44 you can also get Mankey before Brock in Fire Red and Leaf Green, I used it against him, it's on the route with the optional rival fight.

Yeah. And Dugtrio is useful against Lt Surge

I have to admit, this is one of the few videos when I actually watch the ad, besides Deathknight is also hilarious.

The way Mikey said, "Which was a Jumpluff." With such disgust amused me

Funniest sponsor segment ever 😂😂😂😂😂 I loved it so much 😅

Pokemon is my childhood, and I'm glad I found an amazing person to watch play it!

Used butterfree for a very very short time but counted it. Used pidgeot for half the play through and half counted it.

As a new MandJTV fan, watching Mikey with a beard is like seeing an evolved form of him lol

I know there are better options, but I loved using Parasect as a catcher Pokemon with Stun Spore and False Swipe in a fangame or another

Eh if you're not running against the wromg type it's pretty durable and can deal a good chunk.

I would do this, but I'm currently playing each main game in order for the first time, so my pokemon list would be far too long 🤣 currently just beat the first gym in black/white, and this channel has definitely been fun to watch while I play through the games!

4:15 did you just gave me a job opportunity as team sky grunt? I'm taking it as the proud bird I am.

My favorite thing about this list is that six-year-old me beat the elite four using pretty much just Primape and Seaking. :) I think I used Pikachu to get through Misty, but beyond that, this is all I used back in the day before I really knew what I was doing. I certainly had no idea what STAB was, but I did understand typing for the most part.

A lot of the water types you listed have something to make them unique and good

I just want to say thanks for what you do Mikey it has helped me through a tough time😁

I remember watching you and I always thought that team sky was an actual team in the games, so imagine my surprise when I learned that team sky was a thing that you made up.

Nice job giving credits!

Hey Mikey! I recently beat my first my very first play through and I want to thank you because I thought Pokémon was really weird before I found your channel! So thank you for bringing me to the franchise!

Gotta start somewhere! You can choose which games you would love to play! You can always play pokemon on emulators on the pc and phone, without buying anything

I certainly have used Vileplume and Victreebell on very recent teams. I did a Poison only run of Sword where Vileplume bodied Nessa twice and wound up beating Raihan in the Champion Tournament, and in Let's Go Eevee Bellsprout was my first pokemon that I caught (and used), I loved its overworld animation as Bellsprout (Weepingbell and Victreebell's were much less interesting) and it wound up have a game-long rivalry with Trace's starter Pikachu. So those 2 are very special to me now.

I'm so glad the Team Sky shirts are finally out! Cant wait to be in the proper uniform

I'd love to see you do this same type of video for other regions like Hoenn since it's your first region

I just love MandJTV list videos. I get excited every time there's a new one

I can’t help but not use Slowbro on a play though! I love using it! Especially Gen 2! But it’s not a big deal...... :,)

God can we talk about how VICIOUS Grunty Boi was? I was choking on my lunch 😂😂

Pidgeot was one of my favorite originals. Loved the card and loved using him in the games.

4:21 does this mean subscribing to MandJTV is equivalent to military conscription?

Yes

if im being honest, i like using weak pokemon, i get bored just being able to one OKO everything, so i usually only use one or two actually good pokemon. an example is when i played black 2 for the first time, my team was emboar, braviary, ampharos, audino, zoroark, and maractus. this team may not be the best, but thats what was so fun, having struggling battles you barely manage to come out alive. it just gives more exitment to the game.

Sandshrew was the Pokémon I was obsessed with growing up. The first game I played with it was sapphire and I remember it’s sprite being absolutely adorable. I kept that Sandshrew from evolving for my entire play-through lmfao

In my opinion Beedrill carried me when I was fighting Misty's Starmie because when it hits level 25 or higher it learns a bug type move which is super effective against psychic types and it's also good with Koga with his poison types but it could be challenging when up against the psychic gym since it is also a poison type

Man, I missed these analysis or retrospective videos :)

It would be awesome if this were a series

Great video I understand your decisions 😊

I did a run of Blue once where I intentionally used Pokémon I hadn't used before for most of the run (I say 'most' because I had the idea after selecting Charmander as the starter, and I definitely had picked Charmander before!). I beat the Elite Four with Charizard, Golbat, Jigglypuff, Raichu, Kabutops, and (I think) Vileplume. I had traded Tentacruel out for Kabutops around the end. I loved that team!

I didn’t get back into Pokémon until X&Y, but, even then, I didn’t start replaying through games until Sun & Moon - not from lack of wanting to because I still hold the Gen 6 games in very high regard. Pokémon Bank made it easier for me to go about restarting games from then on. Even so, it’d mostly be Pokémon that caught my eye or that I really wanted to play with again, all thanks to breeding. At least once every new game, I try to reform the first teams I used during my first playthrough of one or both versions before going back to play with Pokémon that catch my eye or I just hadn’t used before. I say all of this just to say that there’s still so many Pokémon that I’ve yet to play with, but I’m itching to get back to playing Sword & Shield before the next games come out.

Butterfree learns Confusion early so you can use it in Pewter Gym if you chose Charmander, so it always got some early play in my teams.

Would love one of these videos for each region

Some of these Pokémon might surprise you with how good they are, especially Tentacruel and Pinsir. I get where you’re coming from in their typing, but Tentacruel has a very flexible move pool and tanks special hits quite well, and Pinsir makes up for being a bug type by hitting like a freaking truck.

That's an interesting list. Considering Gen 1's popularity I'm always curious about which of those Pokemon never made the cut for someone's playthroughs. Sticking with the parameters of what you mentioned, the following are Gen 1 Pokemon I've never used in my main team: Raticate, Raichu, Nidoqueen, Clefable, Wigglytuff, Vileplume, Dugtrio, Persian, Golduck, Tentacruel, Slowbro, Farfetch'd, Dewgong, Cloyster, Kingler, Electrode, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Licktung, Weezing, Chansey, Tangela, Kangaskhan, Seadra, Seaking, Starmie, Mr. Mime, Jynx, Electabuzz, Tauros, Ditto, Porygon, Omastar, Kabutops, Aerodactyl, Snorlax, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo, Mew. I've played Pokemon games many times yet I've never had the opportunity or need to use the ones I listed here for my main roster.

I used Arbok in my most recent SoulSilver playthrough. It was better than I was expecting. It was the main reason I was able to defeat Whitney's Miltank more easily than usual!

Pity it can't learn any good STAB moves until late; Gunk Shot at a high level and the TM for Poison Jab is available only from the Fuchsia Gym in HGSS. On a related note I encountered a shiny Ekans in a VC play through of Crystal after beating Faulkner. I unfortunately had to let it go b/c I forgot to stock up on balls before going out into the wild ugh.

Mikey i love ur videos and ur one of my favorite poketubers (:

Primeape has always been my favourite gen 1 fighting type and I always use it because I always rewatched the VHS tape of Ash and his Primeape as a child

It's interesting to see, especially what Pokemon you call bad while I my experience in playthroughs tell me otherwise (Clefable!). But what I find most interesting is how many you never used, while Gen 1 is the only generation I actually used every line at least once (and all back in Gen 1 days)

Looking at the original 151, I’ve never used the birds, Mewtwo or Mew, Dragonite, or the fossils for a playthrough. Maybe I’ll do an all-Legends playthrough.

That was an actual good funny sponsor
