DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.

    One reason I don't like the 3D models as much as the sprites: Giratina's "wings" in the sprites looked like they were made of shadows. Minimal shading and the fact they were all one solid color gave them the appearance that they weren't really physical objects in our world, more like its wings were tears in reality leading to the distortion realm or something. *...Then the 3D models just made them look like black wrinkly socks*

    Giratina is one where its sprite art waa just fantastic, so the models really don't hold up. I think my problem is that they're too smooth -- the spritw makes its body look ridged, while the model is flat. Rather than a ghost serpent with a golden skeleton it looks like a stripy slug with a mask. Also it looses the curve of its body that gave it a super nice profile, like most things with levitate. Gyarados loosing its iconic curled poses being another good example. I like the 3D models overall, but since this is one of my favorite pokemon its always been one that particularly bothered me.

    I feel like you're kinda underplaying the prevalence of Giratina-Origin in gen 7. It was THE defogger because it was the only viable defog user that: 1. Wasn't weak to stealth rock 2. Wasn't immediately threatened by Primal Groudon's stone edge and actually threatened common setup variants like the rock polish or swords dance sets. It didn't really see much use on stall because of its lack of a reliable recovery compared to ho-oh and lugia but it definitely saw a lot of play on the super common bulky offense teams usually alongside both primals. It was far and away the best pokemon in the tier for this.

    Thank you for finally covering one of my all time favorite pokemon. Personally I think Shadow Force is underrated as while yes it is a 2-turn semi-invulnurable physical move it has the unique property of blasting through Protect and Detect while also doing massive damage and getting STAB. Phantom Force from gen 6 is basically its little sibling with the same effects but less power. A shame Giratina isn't used much in VGC though as it has the potential with its signature move to be very annoying to face since its not uncommon to double target mons.

I couldn't believe my luck. I used my Master Ball not being willing to risk knocking it out or even having technical problems. I was ina Skype call with my then girlfriend and I actually had one of those "moments of hype" that a lot of gaming channels like to show off. It's my favorite shiny that I loved using to destroy every colosseum in Battle Revolution with in glorious 3D.
