@astralguardian5930

If I were to describe Snorlax in reference to another series/game. He's basically the Brawl Meta Knight of Gen 2. Your pokemon's place in OU basically lives or dies on how good it is at either beating/chipping Snorlax or assisting Snorlax in surviving. That's how centralized it is.

In case some people don't know, the only reason why Snorlax wasn't banned in Gen 2 despite being this overcentralizing is because unfortunately Snorlax is literally the only Pokémon capable of breaking Special-Attacking Stall Pokémon. Banning it would result in matches taking even longer and being even more tedious than you already feel like they are. When you think about it, Gen 2 was extremely poorly balanced in a lot of ways... I still love it, though. My nostalgia is just too strong. 😂

@@Noobie2k7 I see you've edited your reply to somewhat correct yourself, but the point still stands. In Gen 1 Giovanni disbands Team Rocket after being defeated by Red on the last Gym Battle, then disappears. In Gen 2 members of Team Rocket reorganized the team to still function and in hopes that their boss will return, only to be foiled by the protagonist of Gen 2, then disbands completely.

Megas hurting the Pokémon was a Gen 7 retcon and I will forever hate Game Freak for that.

8:43 That detail only came about when they were trying to downplay mega evolution.

Codel isn't a construction worker. He's a demolitian XD

Super Trainer Codel radiates gigachad energy

Halving defense is a big part of why explosion/self-destruct are beyond busted in gen 3 doubles, but there's another element: You see, in gen 4 onwards, all multi-target moves, when able to hit multiple targets, get hit with a 25% damage reduction. This reduction applies even if the move fails to hit more than one target (say, you used earthquake, your ally pokemon is immune, and one of the opposing pokemon using protect; even though EQ only hit one mon for damage, it still gets the damage reduction because it tried to hit more than one). This reduction also applies to gen 3... but only to multi target moves that can only hit the opposing pokemon; moves like blizzard, icy wind, or muddy water. Spread moves capable of hitting your own pokemon, such as earthquake, or say... self-destruct and explosion? They hit for full damage. On every pokemon. But the actual nasty part of Codel isn't just his diabolical team strategy. It's the fact that he's trainer 6 in an 8 trainer gauntlet. For reference, the fight after him is a sun team with Groudon. The team after that is a rain team with kyogre. Trainer 3 in that gauntlet has a Rayquaza. Over the course of said gauntlet you encounter every one of the legendary beasts. Oh, and some of the pokemon there have optimized hidden powers for coverage/stab. There is absolutely a dragon dance hidden power flying Gyarados in that gauntlet. Counter teaming Codel is easy. Counter teaming while also being able to deal with the 7 other cracked trainers in that gauntlet is a bit of a different story. Oh, and that set of trainers isn't even the final challenge; beat the aforementioned rain team, and you still have all of Orre Colosseum to beat. Challenges like Colosseum Battle Mode or XDs Orre Colosseum would be amazing in the current gen, both with how much the battle system has evolved and how easy it is to get competitive level mons; the biggest challenge of attempting fights like infin and inity isn't getting to them, it's the fact that getting competitive level pokemon is such a gigantic slog in gen 3 (even if you know how to rng manipulate), and is borderline impossible using just Colosseum. And also, y'know, game is 20 years old.

I hope more people react to this vid, definitely one of my favorite from the False Swipe team Hope you react to more of False Swipe's videos!

scarf spout kyogre was a terror in gen 4 and basically ran uncontested except for blissey or water absorb mons

5:56 you’re right. If that were the case, it would be more like “I scream, you scream, we all scream because of the ice cream Pokémon.”

Damn, not matter the team he has, Red destroys trainers

8:43 I completely hated how, at first, gen 6 said that Mega Evolution is the bond of friendship between trainer and Pokemon made manifest... Only for gen 7 to come along and say "Nuh-uh! Mega Evolution is actually incredibly painful to the pokemon, and if you like using it, you're a bad person!"

@Magic_Ice

Tbh those dex entries were probably based on mega Pokemon in the wild. It takes a strong bond of friendship to make the mega Pokémon not go crazy and destroy a bunch of stuff. It definitely hurts the Pokémon but so does the act of battling.

*clicks explosion** *Wins**

Back during generation 6 there were some people that had their own league, along with their own gym leaders and i always loved the idea. One of them was a KZreadr with a Lucario pfp and they all had competitive teams. It seemed really fun and i wish i took part.

4:07 does he know the story in gen 1? he disbanded team rocket?

As a Battle Revolution player, I was wondering where Mysterial was. I knew he had to be on this list but I don’t think he’d be all the way at the top! That’s crazy! Also Pat, I have, I have gotten this far.

I remember watching this video while doing laundry. Pog

Okay so in reality the most competitively viable characters are Pokemon’s Unibomber, Two Elderly twins named after a business Eon Musk would buy, Crasher Wake, and a cheating all ubers using Magician? I think I’ll stick to simping for Cynthia for now…

33:14 Bad memories started flooding in as soon as I saw this guy. To this day, I still can't believe I managed to beat him :0

Codel: I don't need to win, you just need to lose.

Man seems to have forgotten than Hippowdon has sand stream, lol.

Honestly, I hope they put VGC players as NPCs. Imagine going thru something like a battle tower and Wolfey walks out with a perish trap team 😮‍💨

I do want to point out in the all level 50 npc battling each other video AI Turo did beat out Sada at facing the entire list.... but in the Sada vs Turo fights specifically she won 76 of their 100 matches.

Just opened the vid I’m guessing Wally from the Oras battle Maison Edit: I was close😅

I think another interesting exercise would be ranking competitive viability based only on the regional Pokedexes of where they mainly appear.

It would have to be Cynthia as her team has good typing balance, great offensive threats, and good defensive pokemon. The main flaw with her team is that she has a Gastrodon when she already has Milotic as her main water type, but Platinum does fix this by giving her a Togekiss. Edit: Lol, I forgot Mysterial exists.

Codel’s team is basically a “fuck you” team

Infin? No, that's Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi.

6:00 they all scream because of ice cream

22:57 - You get The Coolest Exclusive Ribbon on the 6 Pokemon that you beat the challenge with, which in Gen 8 and further games gives the equipable Title "Go --- The 100x Victorious!" Said Ribbon/Title cannot be gained anywhere else and is the "farthest way" you can trade a Pokemon from oldest to newest games legitimately. (Gen 1 and 2 don't count due to 3ds ports skipping several Gens)

3:20 pretty sure she actually has one in the BW anime

Mind you GSC Snorlax has a 50% win rate because it's used in EVERY single team in OU and Ubers.

A super cool idea would be to play a pokemon game and have your friends be the gym leaders u can set a level cap and they can use any move that Pokemon can learn at that point of the game they can pick a team of 6 from Pokemon available at that point in the game lol 😂 idk just throwing out an interesting idea

25:17 my brother played the game before me and the only fight he struggled on was this one, so I meticulously strategized using an insane Tera Ice Excadrill

...I fought Mysterial in singles and it was hell.

(Looking at the mon list here I'm guessing I only fought his first 'variant' or that was his platinum specific team? Not sure. But I REALLY remember than fight and I never ever want to play another battle like that ever again even if it cemented my love and respect for the Togekiss line forever XD)

Yeah, GSC Snorlax was the best Pokemon in Gen 2 period. This is a small excerpt from Snorlax's GSC Ubers summary. "Snorlax's sole presence warps the entire metagame around it". GSC Snorlax is basically god, it would probably be in GSC AG if GSC went by more modern tiering standards. It's has near 100% usage for a reason.

you keep pay attention to the move even thou he tell you to ignore the move.

Godel is downright devious

I still get weirded out when people talk about Kieran... Playing through the DLC was pretty strange. 😂

Honestly, if it was me, I'd take the hwole 'mega evolution hurts the pokemon using it' thing and just make it 'keystones help stabilize mega evolution so it doesn't hurt the pokemon'. Go along with how Pokemon using Mega Evolution in Super Mystery Dungeon went berserk due to using looplets instead of Keystones and proper mega evolving items.
