When I started to play pokemon games on an emulator I was looking for best teams and this guy came through big for me. I haven't played pokemon games sense gen 3 fire red until my younger brother got sword and wanted me to get shield(keep in mind he was born a year after gen 3).

It's unfortunate that BDSP decided to stay so close to Diamond/Pearl as Platinum's the best version. BDSP should've been better with: earlier access to many Pokemon, going based off Platinum, actual realized 3D game, reusable TMs, more content, and having post Gen 4 Pokemon. The UnderGround is a great addition though

Gastrodon is a beast of a Water/Ground type. Available super early, one weakness, HUGE bulk in Defense and Sp. Def, AND it gets access to Recover for self-healing and Scald for burn chance. It’s RIDICULOUS.

I think one thing that’s not talked about enough is that Gyarados gets waterfall as early as level 21, which is pretty much it’s best water type move it will use and it gets it very early on. Intimidate also helps its bulk slightly and team utility, plus being immune to ground vs being weak to it. Especially with so many strong ground types in the game. I love empoleon tho and I’m glad it got some good recognition!

I agree with most of the pokemon on the video but does anyone feel that clefable is overrated because I’ve tried to use it but it’s just too weak and togekiss is a far better option since you can get togepi early game and evolve it fully before the third gym by use of pickup by pachirisu to get a shiny stone so you have the best flying and fairy type in the game for later gyms.

Nice info, thanks!

My Team in BDSP (Though I'm not done yet, I'm taking a break from progression to shiny hunt Dialga, I figure I might try Shiny hunting Legendaries in this game) is as follows: Starter: Torterra aka the bulldozer that stomps Sinnoh flatter than a pancake Requisite Water type: Manaphy (I love it), first Mythical I've ever been able to use on a playthrough and I'm not going to deny a Mythical what I've been saying they need for years. Flyer: Crobat, I always used Staraptor in previous Sinnoh playthroughs (I wonder why) but I've recently grown very fond of Crobat and It's become the second strongest member of my team (also it evolved into a Crobat right after the Second Gym!) Heavy Hitter: Rampardos. I know I said Torterra and Crobat were the Strongest, but this stony girl (mine happens to be female) is the second fastest member of my team (after Crobat) and is the one who hits the absolute hardest with that oh so beefy attack stat. Requisite Fire Type: Houndoom. Screw the fact that Infernape is statistically the best fire type, I burned my way through team Galactic with the help of this Loyal Hellhound. Final Member: The Lucario from Iron Island... funny thing is I told myself I wouldn't be using the Riolu this time, I'd hatch it and put it in the box. But I ended up using him because of how quickly he caught up to the rest of my team... It literally just took going through Byron's gym and the Riolu had evolved and was only a few levels below the team average.

I think considering the big battles would change the rankings as now the big opponents have Good IVs and EVs, particularly the league. When it comes to Cynthia, odds are you wont out-speed unless its Gastrodon, or Unless youre over-levelled. So Picks like Alakazam which depend on hitting first before theyre killed... suffer, so for the psychic type i would have considered if gardevoir's chance to live over alakazam is significant enough. Or if alakazam has enough of an ability to hit those difficult opponents before being hit itself. This is a rather counter intuitive aspect of BDSP, as glass cannons just dont work, so gameplay styles need to shift to accommodate

I honestly love Toxicroak for poison / fighting. Is it the best? Nah. I just like having it flat out go "No" to water moves if you have one with Dry Skin. Healing in rain with drain punch. Good stuff.

Fun fact: swimming is just flying in water and flying is just swimming in the air

I don't know if you'd be up for suggestions but I'd like to hear your top 3 moves if each type (1 special attack, 1 physical attack, and 1 status move from each category possible) i think you'd make some interesting points to compare with mine.

Togekiss, while it’s a great Pokémon and all, is just such a pain to get in these games that you’re honestly better off using Staraptor as your Flying type instead. It’s such a pain to have to deal with the stupid Friendship evolution and finding a Shiny Stone to evolve Togetic is also very time consuming. There are also better Fairy type options in this game, such as Gardevoir and Azumarill that are much easier to obtain than Togekiss and in my opinion, more worth it in the end. Heck, I even planned to have Togekiss on my playthrough team for my first playthrough of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, but ended up using Staraptor and Gardevoir instead because of how painful it is to obtain a Togekiss in these games. You’re better off using that Shiny Stone on a Roselia and getting Roserade instead and having a powerful Grass type on your team. Plus, even though Budew and Roselia evolve through the same methods as Togepi and Togetic respectively, you can at least find wild Roselia in the Underground so you won’t have to deal with trying to raise friendship with Budew.

Luxray would have been a contestant for best Electric type if it had access to Play Rough and Psychic Fang like in SwSh and if it would learn Wild Charge A LITTLE earlier than level 92. Also Drapion could also have been a shout for best Poison type, Togekiss for best Fairy type and Gallade for both psychic and fighting (since you can theoretically have one for the 2nd gym if you grind for a pick up dawn stone)

Is legends different enough to warrant its own version of this video? First Pokémon game Ives REALLY gotten into for a long time. Love the content!

I'd argue that Clefable isn't that good compared to Gardevoir and Togekiss. STAB and raw stats are more important than coverage in a playthrough situation every time, and Clefable just falls short on both fronts by having lower stats and only a single typing. If I need to use a move that isn't my current Pokémon's stab, I'll usually just switch to a Pokemon who does have that stab, with coverage really just being there as a last resort in most cases.

You can get a Ancient Power Swinub in the underground if you look long enough. You'd miss out probably on the potential Icycle Crash but I think it's worth the grind.

Is this the first ever video where Mystic praises Torterra?!?! Lmao

I bought TM thunder taught it to my Luxray and god dude what a force now, also put quick claw on my Luxray, boxed my starter and run a 4 Pokémon party for more of a challenge. It’s to easy to use all the meta Pokémon so I just use one and the rest just use Pokémon that catch your eye honestly it’ll give you a harder time with gyms and challenge you to the peak of each fight

I personally think Electivire is the better electric type given it is only 2x weak to ground and has access to ice punch. pokemon in the underground can have egg moves so it is possible to get one( I got one). furthermore, it is most likely outspeeding most ground types which makes it nearly invincible in a playthrough while magnezone is very slow

Drapion is stringer than houndoom imo, due to it's bulk it is absurdly easy to set up with a swords dance or two and after that there arent really any npcs that can stand up to it

I feel like Infernape doesn’t learn Drain Punch because of balancing. Being able to deal huge damage AND healing at the exact same time, I feel it’d be too much for your starter, especially with how early you get Drain Punch.

Drapion is actually the better Dark Type Pokemon when comparing it and Houndoom for a playthrough simply because of Knock Off. STAB Knock Off is one of the best moves to have in BDSP for the late game. Drapion's bulk and lack of weaknesses often lets it take a hit and Knock Off a Gym Leader's or E4 Member's item which usually reduces that Pokemon's threat level significantly.

The fact that Drapion trivializes Lucian with Knock Off cannot be overstated. As a Dark Type, making the most of its Dark Type, it's the best for a BDSP playthrough.

Okay, here’s my opinion on what the best Pokémon to use for each typing is in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl: Normal- Staraptor Flying- Staraptor Fairy- Gardevoir Honorable Mention: Azumarill Psychic- Gardevoir Dark- If the player picks Chimchar, Drapion is the best Dark type option in these games. However, if the player picked one of the other two starters in the Sinnoh region, then Houndoom is the best Dark type. Fighting- Infernape(only for those who picked Chimchar)/ Machamp(if the player is able to trade and didn’t pick Chimchar) Steel- If the player picks either Turtwig or Chimchar, Magnezone is the best Steel type available in these games. If the player picked Piplup however, then Empoleon is the best Steel type. Electric- Magnezone(only if the player didn’t pick Piplup. Otherwise, don’t use an Electric type in these games) Ground- Torterra(only for those who picked Turtwig / Gastrodon(for players who started with Chimchar) / Hippowdon(for those who picked Piplup) / Garchomp(for those who picked either Chimchar or Piplup and want a more powerful and faster Ground type and are willing to wait until after the seventh gym to obtain it) Water- Empoleon(for those who started with Piplup only) / Gyarados(for those who didn’t pick Piplup) Grass- Torterra(only for players who picked Turtwig) / Roserade(only for players who didn’t start with Turtwig) Fire- Infernape(only for those who picked Chimchar) / Houndoom(only for players who started out with Piplup or Turtwig) Poison- Roserade(only for the players who didn’t pick Turtwig) / Drapion Ghost- Gengar Bug- Scizor(only for players who didn’t pick Piplup and have access to trading) / Heracross Rock- Golem(only for those who didn’t pick Turtwig and have access to trading) / Sudowoodo Dragon- Garchomp(only for those who didn’t pick Turtwig and are willing to wait until they have seven gym badges before obtaining it) / Altaria(because it’s the only other option, lol) Ice- Mamoswine(only for those who didn’t pick Turtwig and are willing to grind for Heart Scales to evolve their Piloswine into Mamoswine) / Weavile EDIT: And in case you couldn’t tell, I would not recommend using Torterra in these games, unless it’s like your favorite Starter or something because it’s super slow and get outclassed by other Ground types such as Gastrodon, Hippowdon, and Garchomp(even though you can’t get it until late game) and when it comes to the Grass typing, Roserade is just the best Grass type to use period. I’m not trying to discourage anyone who wants to pick Turtwig. I’m just saying that there are better Grass(for example, Roserade) and Ground options.

other grounds that also outclass torterra would be steelix, quagsire and mamoswine, and as for your stand on electric....yeah....your not wrong....electric is pretty underwhelming in Sinnoh cause i think a lot of trainers use pokemon that either resist electric or are a ground type (in my experience....ground types are used quite often with how much you see stuff like the geodude line, onix, steelix, the hippos, quagsire, whiscash and gastrodon)

I feel when looking at let's say best electric for example you should be looking at its electric moves and stats not all moves it can learn. Were not worried about it having fairy moves when were talking about its contention for best electric.

An argument for luxray Luxray is cool

Curious- do you consider traditional competitive/the current (and very new) meta when crafting these “best of” lists? I ask because some of the chosen Pokémon moves (and lack of synergy) makes me think these lists are strictly for the average player who just wants to have fun throughout the game(s), or grind them at max efficiency. There definitely seems to be a large overlap with the “strongest” Pokémon themselves, though. I am just missing some of my fave Ground and Water type heavy hitters here.

Just a heads up for anyone new to pokemon. Half of these pokemon on his list have special ways to evolve them making them a hassle to get to evolve or require an item you won't get till late in your gym runs. Trading and stone evolutions suck. Most stone evolution people stop learning moves once they evolve and you have to use tm or find the move tutor to teach them new moves. Side basic rule for this list have higher attack and speed and you win.

Cool video

Ancinet power is an egg move for Swinub and Grand Underground mons have egg moves, I caught several Swinub with Ancient Power, so you dont even need a heart scale

late to this... I want to suggest though, for both ice and ghost potentially... Frosslass... a powerful special attacker with decent coverage and is faster than it reasonably should be... I understand the arguement that there are better options for either type in theory, but it deserves an honorable mention for both as a solid choice still as it covers both really well oh, and also he should have mentioned Togekiss for both fairy and flying options as it's stupidly good as either one

I used electivire in my playthrough and oh my that thing was way too good. For me thats the best electric but thats my opinion

Drapion’s my favorite Pokémon, so I think it’s pretty clear where I stand on dark types

Houndoom vs. Drapion: For me it's rule of cool. I would rather roll with a fiery hell-hound than a rejected villain from A Bug's Life.

Poliwrath is a pretty insane fighting type though, hypnosis, belly drum, drain punch, waterfall gg

Can you also make videos about the best Pokemon of each type including post game Pokemon? :)

Small point to support Magnezone: sure 4x ground weakness is scary, but using magnet rise would make it completely immune to ground attacks

i used an altaria in my play through and it’s actually better than you’d think cotton guard dragon pulse moonblast sky attack were my moves and it worked out pretty well against physical pokémon i just used cotton guard twice and could take about anything physical ice punch included shit was a tank and could hit solid

Garados has intimidate which means he has somewhat of a defense statt of 118. Also it can dragon dance and Easily set up a full sweep while still beeing a bulky water type. There is a reason why many nuzzlocker are banning Gardos for playthroughs.

For best Psychic, I have to go with Jirachi. Psychic/Steel stomps the Galactic fights since you can switch into a poison move and proceed to dismantle with Psychic.

My spuad currently Azumarill, Heracross, Tyranitar, Metagross, Infernape, Garchomp. I'm constantly back and forth on putting in Snorlax and/or Gengar but not sure who I would remove if I did..

Drapion hands down best dark type. Battle armor prevents crits and it can take damn near any attack easily and has WAY better coverage.

Same for me as well, because Gardevoir maybe kinda bit slow but the flexibility on move pool and the Fairy typing makes her best for me. And she didn't require a trade evolution.

Tbh i think hippowdon is the best ground type in bdsp it has crazy bulks and helps out in e4 with stealth rocks, and sand stream

Yeah, they really did Luxray dirty with the movepool. But I'm still taking him to the league XD

Ok Drapion vs Houndoom… I have yo agree with you Mystic… Drapion was SO MUCH better sweeping everything for me in the E4… but you only get it at lvl 40 nearing the end of the game… you get Houndoom at lvl 20ish

Well, looks like I used the Best Ground type, Electric type, Steel type, and Flying type in my playthrough of Brilliant Diamond.

Infernape is the best starter hands down. Both stabs cover against the other starters. It's perfectly capable of one hitting each. Torterra is second because earthquake by evolving is crazy. I've never been a fan of empoleon, it's the best water type but it's not the best steel type.

@@obits3 Bruh, it's not even a competition. Infernape is literally just better, the only mon that gains an advantage is torterra, empoleon GAINS a weakness. And FYI empoleon just straight up loses to torterra 100%. Empoleon isn't bulky enough to survive an infernape STAB close combat without a sash and it doesn't hit hard enough to OHKO it back. No, this was probably the most unbalanced generation starter wise. Torterra needs to survive a STAB flare blitz, which it could if you go for bulk and max out of defenses. But then you need to hope a STAB earthquake will kill.
