There's a key difference though, ttar has terrible defensive typing on paper, with 7 weaknesses. It was only able to survive in ou because the sheer bulk it gets from sandstorm allows it to shrug off super effective coverage moves. (that and enabling sand sweepers of course) Lando on the other hand only has 2 weaknesses, so unless ice gets buffed to become the best type in the game by far, its typing will continue to be good no matter the metagame.

Correct. Saying Lando-T should be banned due to usage alone would be like saying Seismitoad should be banned due to being one of the most used pokemon during Dracovish's reign. Seismitoad was only used to often because it had qualities that were *demanded* in the teambuilder, and likewise, lando-t has qualities that are valuable in its meta. You don't need to use labdo-t specifically (unlike seismitoad, who was needed to stop dracovish from getting an automatic KO every time it hit the field,) but if you already have 5 pokemon locked in, lando-t is very easy to fit into the last slot.

The common term for “slappable” Pokémon in a tier I like to use is a Glue Mon. It can stick things together to make it viable, but on its own, there’s multiple ways to deal with it. Lax is a tremendous example. If you focus entirely on beating Lax, you’re gonna get whipped. Instead, it’s how it brings a team together that shows it’s strength. It can be the offensive mon on a stall team, take out critical threats with Boom for a sweep, it can put things to sleep, it can be a defensive backbone, but it can’t do all of that at once. LandoT is the same.

Fantastic video! BKC is a legend!

I never find lando T that much of a problem. I feel like he adds a lot to the game and that’s why he’s so used, but he’s incredibly easy to dispatch with almost any water type or an ice type move on anyone.

You basically never "lose" because your opponent has a Lando-T. You can always wear it down and if you can't deal with its offensive pressure and utility, then there's a lot more in the metagame your team also can't handle. The closest it was to being broken was the z sets in gen 7 that could legitimately sweep teams. It's basically a B+ mon on offense, a B+ mon on defense and an A mon in utility options and there's no other Pokemon that's as well rounded. Great Tusk is there same except without Lando having defog, knock off, and toxic Tusk is just better

Loving the recent BKC specials

Reminds me of Mienfoo in gen8 LC. After the standard bans of oppressive flying types and ghosts, the meta settled around having a defensive mienfoo on nearly every single team, but it wasn’t broken. Other foos could check your foo, so many things could switch into its knock off, and other sets like scarf or band saw play too

Maxx C is meta warping cards that basically create 2 different games. Though in Yu-Gi-Oh case it's really hard cause it's more complicated.

This is good talk. I think the speaker summarized it very well and here’s my understanding: Lando-T fills the gaps of many teams allowing them more flexibility overall, and he’s never broken or ever needs a specific counter. You never run into a Lando T and think “F my life I hate this Pokémon” (like Toxipex, and my personal bane, Gliscor who is also mentioned in this video lol)

The way I would put it is that the way Lando-T plays results in a metagame with an appropriate tempo. It's harder, but not impossible, to play hyper offense and hard stall with it around, which leads to more games where players make considered options and the game isn't decided long before it's finished.

I think what alot of people (usually non-comp players) miss is one key thing: Lando-T isnt broken He's flexible and ANNOYING, yes But not broken whatsoever. He's able to adapt to most megas and acts as the tiger's glue mon It actually makes sense if you think about it for 5 minutes

I can't believe there is some guy in GF Who made kingambit and spidops in same generation

People here are misinterpreting the argument "it can be anything" as "it is BETTER than everything". No, landorus is not inherently the best stealth rocker, swords dancer, staller, intimidate user, etc just because it can do those things to good effect. If that were the case, mew wouldn't have jumped tiers as much as it has. Garchomp is faster with stab dragon and defensive potential in rough skin, and the only reason incineroar isn't inherently better is because lando t directly counters it. Lando t is the way it is because it's just easy to use. You don't have to put as much work into fitting lando t into a team as you would with others that can also do it's job. Need an intimidate user but don't want to account for incineroars low speed or weaknesses? Use landorous t. Need a sweeper but you don't want to account for earthquake? Use landorous t. The way i word it sounds like your getting rid of weaknesses but your just trading them for an ice weakness and anything that can fly and deal with stone edge. It's not like it makes other pokemon obsolite, it's just more convinient to have one pokemon with a couple weakness for multiple teams, rather than each team requiring a different more specialized pokemon each with their own set of flaws that need to be dealt with.

Dragalge, magcargo, drifblim, Aegislash or rotom and all of his forms! 💪💪💪

I vaguely remember a similar video about Gen 2 Snorlax, and from that and the idea of this video, I get the jist. It's not about the Pokemon being popular, it's about how they aren't banworthy. They have answers and counters, so they aren't unfair. But they make it so you can have alternate options be more viable, because you have a useful and practical bread and butter to rely on while building your team. You can afford to try other things while still being able to get the basics of what you need with it. .....and part way through writing this, these guys reference Gen 2 Snorlax. Of course. XD

Yea like plenty of old gens still see ruleset updates. I think Gen 3 OU just banned Sand Veil in 2020, over 15 years since it was the current metagame. GSC isn't keeping Snorlax cuz there's not enough people to care, it's because they genuinely prefer Lax over every team either being special offense or stall

Consistently been OU since forever. Outstanding stats, nice ability, exclusive typing no other Pokémon has, great defense coverage with 2 immunities to Electric and Ground. Anyone with an ice type move or suspected with an ice type hidden power move can be well predicted from a mile away.

I feel like lando-t hits that "sweet spot" balance-wise. It's very capable, and very flexible, but it doesn't win games on its own. Lando-T can do pretty much whatever it wants well, but there are a lot of things it wants to do, and it can't do all of them at once, so it becomes a matter of deciding how you want to build your lando-t to fill a specific hole in your team, much like how GSC 'lax can be tailored to fit its team's specific needs. Also, I find the argument that lando-t should be banned from OU specifically because it's too common to be kinda funny. Like, dude, you're playing in the tier literally called "OverUsed," filled with pokemon that are showing up constantly because they're the either the best or the easiest to use for their roles, and I'm pretty sure nearly every one of them has probably gotten on someone's nerves for showing up too often. If you want to play pokemon without running into lando-t, or great tusk, or GSC 'lax, then UnderUsed (or a lower tier) is *literally* created for that specific purpose, giving underused, overlooked and underappreciated pokemon a chance to show their stuff without getting steamrolled by the top dogs of the meta.

Feel like you summed it up with "teambuilding is hard" lol

I look at it the same way as I look at removal in Magic: the Gathering [weird comparison, I know]: Answers should always be stronger than questions. A format of all questions [threats] with no viable answers [checks/defensive options] that cover them more generally is inherently volatile, i.e. swingy, fast, non-interactive, and less rewarding to skill while being more rewarding to surprising people. This is a format where games are won before the match even begins based primarily on match up and it takes a lot of agency out of the game. On the other end, a format with a couple great broad answers [defensive options] leads to more same-y teams, sure, but also more positional play, more interaction, more back and forth. A format with one, two, even three auto-include pokemon on the team with a couple different viable builds and the remaining slots to do what you want with is more fun than a format where it's just a contest of who can get their boosts and sweep first.

(4:19) I guess overwhelming defense is more bearable than overwhelming offense. I guess even the best defenses in Pokémon can be pried open.

Follow up vid idea: why landorus-I IS banned (and has been every gen)

because after hazards, it drops Ferrothorn with Focus Blast, drops SpDef Toxapex with Earth Power, drops Lando-T with Hidden Power Ice, can do all three of those *with the same set* AND still has room left in its moveset to add Rock Polish as its fourth move so that it can also clean up your weakened team later - once again, with the same set. Yeah ... fun poke to play against. :/

Next video: Why Landorus-I IS banned from OU

i cannot take a video seriously when it starts out with scizor being called scissor

please what is the names of the songs used in the video?

As much as I despise Landorus T as a Pokémon, I agree it doesn’t make sense to ban it in competitive because there are reasonable ways around it. I really wish its design was good and not hideous, though. Thankfully Great Tusk in Gen 9 has a pretty good design unlike Lando.

Lando-T's design has actually kinda grown on me. It's a bit weird, but I feel like it's somewhat intentional, like a diety taking a more "mundane" form. (I certainly prefer it over "dog with a knife")

Thank you Genie of Healthy Meta.

so you are saying that thundi and landi are cool again? Neat!

Landorus-T unironically T-poses on other mons

Suppose there were 6 Pokémon with high usage like Lando-T (as much as 70%). They are not broken or overwhelming, just very good. For the sake of argument, suppose they have great synergy together, and you see all 6 on the same team as much as 20% of the time. Would you not ban any of them for the same reasons you wouldn’t ban lando-t? Or would you ban one or all of them due to staleness reasons?

I always thought GameFreak would make a fast SpA ice mon or maybe even break ground for a priority SpA ice move just for LandoT counter play but it never happened. Well they exist now, but always was hoping for something like that in the 2015ish era.

A fast SpA Ice type doesn't mean all that much, you can always switch out. That's not how you would reduce the viability of Lando-T, we've always had things that could outspeed and OHKO Lando-T

I agree. There are things that could one hit Lando, but it would be a painful coin flip bc he can do some much: either you make a hard read or it can u-turn, We've been finding ways around Lando for years, but just always thought ONE ice type would have come along that would truly make it shake in it's boots@@hppern3971

Lugia in OU is defenetly an interesting idea. Now with the roost nerf and since it doesnt get toxic, it should be more managble than ever before

Lugia was only mid thanks to the the 4 most used mons being; Yyeltal - Lugia obviously loses this matchup Solgaleo 2 - immune to toxic and resists stab Eternatus - immune to toxic, lugia doesn’t run psychic. Calyrex Shadow - Most influential mon in the tier and absolutely smokes and makes redundant all other psychic and ghost types in the tier, aside from marshadow It got buffed massively due to heavy duty boots, it would have been good if not for gen 8 being tailormade to stop lugia from cooking

@@therealegr I agree, it would almost definitely Tera water, but using your Tera on a mon that has almost zero offense is risky. Stall is already a great strat now, and Lugia would probably put it way over the top, but I think it might be worth looking at. I think a lot of legends could use some second looks depending on how the DLC shakes out.

Landorus is literally just that high school bully whose 'teasing' borders on assault, but the teachers decided to ignore for some reason.

Pretty sure that's keldeo. I'd say Lando-T is more akin to a teacher breaking up fights between students, and if he can't keep them under control, they go to detention (ubers)

@@emmetstanevich2121 Ah, I get it. So Landorus is literally just that high school teach who borderline assaults the students, but that the staff has decided to ignore due to seniority.

I have a fun theorem since you did this. Why power creep isnt everything however you don't name it after just a certain pokemon Lando T, has been around, Dragonite has been around, TTAR before the fall has been around. The odd generation theorem. 1 3 5 7 9 have some of the strongest mons ever who see play even to this day. Then you could do a follow up. Why mechanics are some part everything the even generation theorem.

Lando-T is in a pretty strange spot. It’s too good to not drop off but is somehow not too good to be allowed in OU

so the cool-artstyle-thumbnails were just for the special series? sadge ( 　ﾟ, _ゝﾟ)

A lot of people who are really bad at teambuilding in this comment section.

Counterpoint: It's very ugly and I don't wanna look at it.

i do wonder slightly what the metagame would look like if you just banned lando-T anyway but it'd probably just become "okay well now we need to ban the replacement,and the thing after that,and now it's just so much harder to teambuild for without it being really any better why did we do this again" it might be more that the things Lando-T do so well need to be de-emphasized somehow, but that's probably hard to do. Besides it sounds like outside of some eye-rolling about variety nobody's really all that pressed about it anyway.

Its the same reason why Tinkaton isnt banned in early gen 9 UU, Snorlax in gen 1 and 2 OU (as stated in this video), Nidoqueen in Gen 2 UU, Ttar in Gen 3 OU, Venusaur in gen 4 UU, so on and so forth. Versatile, good, but never too broken. Each and every mon that centralises the metagame doesnt break the metagame, but holds them together. And without this mon, the metagame funnily becomes even worse, and suddenly a certain style might become overbearing.

Unpopular opinion, i don't believe usage determines if a pokemon is good or not. It just means people like it. You can like something regardless of how good it is. To sum up, popularity poll doesnt equate to strength. Just gives a video game community an excuse to spam jargon terms and acronyms that no one understands outside the circle.

Seems accurate as many ppl think Lando should be banned just bc of its high usage, and usage has led to some Pokémon not falling in tiers when they probably should

@emmetstanevich2121

11 ай бұрын

I mean, the tier is literally called "OverUsed." It's pretty explicitly meant to be the tier for pokemon that are used "too much," hence why bans aren't due to usage alone (sure, a banworthy pokemon will probably have high usage, but that's not why they get banned.)

Lando T is like Bill Russell

Anyone else thinks that BKC sounds like Ben Scwartz?
