I think part of sucker punch not being as common is a combined result of Calyrex Shadow Rider being banned and Yveltal not existing this generation. Yveltal might as well have sucker punch be its secondary signature move. For those who might not be familiar with Ubers, Yveltal was basically one of the only things keeping Shadow Rider from shredding through the entire metagame in Gen 8, alongside Marshadow and other priority users. Combined with the fact that it got Draining Kiss, and the existence of tera, Shadow Rider (who should've been banned from Ubers last gen anyway) becomes even more absurd, with its greatest counters not present.

I feel like legendaries without an amazing ability or signature move are being left behind by legendaries with these things. Dialga and Palkia are the pokemon gods of time and space, so honestly, I say screw balance, lets go for insanity. Lets give spacial rend the ability to bypass protect and hit users switching out, and give Roar of Time the ability to hit consecutive turns in a row, like a future sight that also deals damage the turn its used. Shadow force can become base 150 power, and Giratina can get multiscale. Power creep isn't going away, so we might as well make the gods of pokemon completely busted.

I don't pay attention to Ubers, so I had assumed Zacian was an Anything Goes 'mon. The fact that it's been eclipsed by the S/V box legendaries is a testament to the levels of power creep (as well as the nerfs it received). It's crazy also how Koraidon and Miraidon don't counter each other in the same way as P Groundon/P Kyogre since their field effects don't cancel one another.

The editing is phenomenal and it's a very dense video common Freezai W

Ever since Gen 8, defensive Ho-oh has been one of my favorite Pokemon to use of all time. Single-handedly one of my reasons to play in Ubers metagames - in a meta full of absurdly high power levels, Ho-oh has long since been a generally good defensive answer in some of the worst cases, such as Zacian-Crowned (even in Gen 8, when he was legal) and Koraidon's reign over the tier. Sacred Fire burns, pivoting, Defog... Ho-oh can do all of it. It's such a nice amount of versatility to have, and Regenerator was the perfect buff to give it before Heavy-Duty Boots. Now a Ho-oh with Timbs is more bulky than Lugia could ever hope to be (sorry, old friend...) Ho-oh may not be the *star* of many teams, but it's peak consistency and I appreciate all its hard work. It's like the Lando or Great Tusk of Ubers - a defensive backbone that helps anchor your powerful threats. EDIT: Ho-oh lost Defog and Roost oh dear... at least Recover still exists. Ho-oh also has a lot of niche tech options so I'm sure that 4th move slot will act like a toolbox of sorts for Gen 9 Ubers players. Will-o-Wisp is useful for more consistent burns too. Miraidon definitely proves to be an issue, but Tera-Ground is one of several potential options to answer it, as well as other defensive staples.

Terapagos is a rapid spinner in ubers, I’m here for it.

People talk about needing a pokemon that sets Trick Room with its ability, similar to drizzle setting rain. IMO if that would be too powerful, I'd say complicate it slightly: Terratrickster: "When one of your Pokemon would set weather or terrain effects, instead set up Trick Room" Or if this pokemon's stats are modified by an opponent, or something along those lines. The version above only works in doubles, and requires pairing with someone else who has a weather effect. The stats version depends on the opponent having intimidate etc, and gives them more power. This isn't necessarily how it HAS to be, but I'd start with that type of nuanced design.

Nice editing.

Dang, you didn't have to do Palkia dirty like that.

Someone said way back in the Garchomp video that Garchomp was too honest for OU anymore. I think that much the same with Palkia & Dialga. I'd love to see your thoughts on why they're such dishonourable mentions.

Terapagos is pronounced like ,"Galapagos," as in the islands of the coast of Ecuador.

Since entry hazard damage is based on HP%, does Terapagos take a little less damage from them since it starts the fight in baby form then transform to the main form?

For the reason why the baby form of Terapagos exists its likely either because the story of the DLC changed and initially you were supposed to evolve terapagos through some means or it just exists fo merchandising purposes.

groundon is doing fine, but struggles with having slightly weak stats. Its a ground type that struggles to check Miradon since it really struggles to absorb draco meteor more then once. Since it doesn't do a great job at checking miradon many teams will opt to take another ground type instead thats better at that job. Groundon also needs to rely on precipitate blades, which is a good move but its inaccurate which makes running groundon less appealing. Finally it has a hard time picking its moves, it needs blades and at least one of spikes or stealth rocks which gives it only 2 slots left to fill in gaps. For example a groundon running wilo wisp instead of stone edge lets oh ho come in completely for free; but if it gives up wisp for edge then it lets Arceus set up in front of it.
