Hi u make rly gud contact keep it work

Skraw is a secret genwunner confirmed

What artist did your thumbnail? The art is so clean!

The only type worst than flying in blue/red was bug. I don't care about the ground immunity. Adding it as a second type was a weakness.

This Video Made My Day (I love Gen 1)

I could see the Paldean Starter Trio being at least 3rd best when compared to the starter trios we currently have.

Of course, by breeding, you can have both G-Max Wildfire and Solar Power on the same Charizard. It just takes some resource and time investment to get 3 Max Mushrooms to get your bred Charmander a Max Soup.

I just finished watching the video and I know my turtwig Shelldon is the GOAT, in my heart anyways

As a gen Z (2005) the first starter i had was chimchar (well technically the crocanaw line but that was off a siblings soul silver copy he never touched when i was like 3-5 and i did not play that game full way through) and my absoloute fave is turtwig I would say my soft spot for gen 4 would be be playing through pearl plat+ remakes and being the first games i played properly

the thumbnail is awesome

Kinda wish Zard's Hidden Ability was Drought. Solar Power is cool though.

incineroar intimidate was the main part of the meta for multiple gens in a row no-one tops it

Serperior and Feraligator was my first 2 Starters. So i have my favorites for this pokemon.

By the way speedboost blazeken is introduced in gen 5 not gen 4

Yeah, with the Megas and Gigantamax, this makes sense

Skraw: power creep? What's that?

Basically to make a starter pokemon good, they just need a good stat spread and a good ability

Guess I used Rillaboom a lot in SwSh lol

Any time i hear some pokemon competitive stuff i know my feelings will be hurt. Typholosion is my favorite pokemon but I know he be struggling on the competitive ladder 😭

I think gen 7 couldve also been given the win cause prim and incin r good

So out of all 27 starter Pokémon, only 2 were really successful. Game Freak should really hire former competitive players to balance their games.

Blaziken never had speed boost in gen 4

Gen 1! 🗣️🎙️🔥

For me its always gonna be, Empoleon, Decidueye, Meowscarada.

I really hope they make typhlosion a bit better. Heck even all the starters thay dont see play should get a buff to thier stats or reworks to them. Even new abilities like empoleon. I was hoping GF would do that since they are trying to "balance" the game but it seems they are only balancing around what new pokemon come out for that gen and nothing else.

I don't believe Incineroar has even access to Helping Hand in/for Doubles...

7 solely based off of incineroar

Venosaur is by far the most consistently good one.

Just clicked the video and if it's not mudkip I will do absolutely nothing

Prediction: the newer ones

@@bluekirby_64I remember SwSh did a weird thing where they only allowed GMax Pokemon after raid events that made them more common for a time (before the DLC). For example GMax Coalossal and Lapras were not allowed at first, but once they had raid events, they were allowed in the next ruleset.

Global Challenge 2 video?

Its all fun and games till incineroar hit you with the intimidate > fake out > parting shot

And yet I still demand a second more offensive Mega Venusaur form and a Charizard Z

Know how many times I have taken out mega Charizard Y in competitive with sceptile rock slide? No disrespect to its stats I'm just saying it's not that hard to take care of that "threat." Between sceptile and mega altaria and infernape-stone-edge (there are more) as 3 examples i can honestly say I feel like Charizard X has posed more of a challenge overall if I'm being honest because it's got bulk

I’m not sure how strong he/she is but my Mudkip might be one of my favorites.

2025 here chraizard now has 3 mega forms

Swampert being popular in European rain teams. Ah, so the Galarians decided to compete?

This conclusion was unfair since the starters from gen 1 had 9 generations to shiny compared to Incineroar and Rilabom

its about to go DOWN if mega swampert is in Z-A

Since powercreep is an issue in this series as well. Likely a later generation would be more powerfull. UNLESS! Charizards favoritism would allow him to beat the 4x rock/stealth rock weakness?

I agree

Incineroar is the goat, and Rillaboom is a close second, but Venasaur will always be the king

My expectations would be on Paldean starters. Skeledirge on its own is already extremely busted due to Torch Song. Meowskarada's 100% crit is also pretty disgusting and Quaquaval not only has Speed-Boosting move - it has coverage against every other starter in the franchise. It's only more of a discussion with introduction of Megas, but with Legends Z-A hopefully we can also get those for Paldean bros. Because Swampert and Blaziken would dominate otherwise. If we go solo - it's probably between Incineroar or Skeledirge, tbh. In that matchup Incineroar wins because of the typing (unless we go Tera). But Unaware or Blaze Torch Song are just way to gross to pass on and power of Intimidate is in swapping around. 0:45 Oh its VGC - yeah then its probably Venusaur or Incineroar. Venusaur was always a solid tank, that could support and it is always valid during weather wars. His ranking probably would come from just being the first starter ever and being solid Pokemon in the base form. Incineroar probably will outperform it in the long run - in next 10-20 years it probably will still be in top VGC teams. 4:55 Btw. the only time Pledge moves were relevant - was with Venusaur during the early Mega weather wars during Sun and Moon era. With Drought Charizard and Chlorophyll Venusaur - you had a secured Pledge attack round 1, that activated sea of fire, potentially inspiring future G-Max Wildfire on Gigantamax Charizard. It only got pushed out by the higher use of better Megas, other weather conditions being more preferable (especially with Pelipper's rise to fame) and ultimately the introduction of the legendaries and Ultra Beasts into the format. 7:40 I would expect Mega Blaziken + Bisharp strategy to come back for the Legends Z-A era, but with disgustingly more powerful Kingambit next to it.
