You know Game Freak hates Regigigas when they forced it to have Slow Start in Legends Arceus--the game where Abilities got ditched--and casually made Legendaries that are far broken than it would've been at full strength.
Screw Regigigas in particular apparently, what the heck Game Freak
ARE YOU FLIPPING KIDDING ME!!!!!
@@neo-didact9285and the saddest part of all this, because of how dynamax dens are in sword and shield.
They made him lv _100_
Shiny locked him.
Gave him a full pallet of shields just like shedinja and somehow he is still _easier_ than shedinja
Actually in PLA, slow start is NOT a debuff, you get full power regigigas, but if you last 5 turns you get the boost Alphas get. I wish it worked like that in the actual games...
And if Regigigas uses a special Z-Move, Slow Start also reduces its Special Attack for that turn only.
Nice callback to the days of Pokémon Platinum! 😂 Good to know Regigigas has regained its strength, even if it took…years.
It would still take a few more years where it would gain its maximum strength in the DLC of Sword and Shield
@@Venemofthe888and that's 15 years total wait time
hey, it's par for the course for him anyway.
@@JeskidoYT well he had a slow start but he finally got his act together lol
Regigigas: ...IS NO LONGER LEVEL 1
I still stand by the fact that if slow start only halved speed instead of speed and attack, it would have actually been a solid threat. The half speed would make it effective in trick room teams and if it managed to persist on the field long enough then it’s unshackled speed would make it still a potent threat the moment trick room ends naturally
It’s a shame. They just refuse to allow him to be good. It might be the worst ability in the entire series.
THEY GAVE IT SLOW START IN LEGENDS ARCEUS.
Which has no abilities.
BRUH.
@@chuggaHowever, there was one time where Regigigas was good. They decided to, at one point, give it the ability: Huge Power. Makes me wish that was just it’s hidden ability.
@@SomeAsianGameFreak may actually be the biggest trolls of all time
@@chuggaStall
Major credit to the artist for the legendary pieces this time, especially for the Regigigas one. Really evokes how Regigigas was a giant capable of moving entire contents. Pity in the modern age he can't even push himself out of being low tier.
At the time of this game's release, Heatmor was my favorite Pokémon! As a kid, I always had a fondness for Fire-type Pokémon and Anteaters, so logically Heatmor was a perfect fit for me. It's a shame the big lug doesn't get enough love, heck, even if you don't like the design, that shiny is SICK!!
Heatmore sticks out to me due to a card in the TCG that specifically does more damage to Durant (speculated to be because of a popular competitive Durant deck), along with its horrifying Pokedex descriptions describing how it cooks Durant alive in their own exoskeleton.
I think Heatmor's design is pretty good, I just forget it exists, which is not the same as hating it or thinking it has a bad design
@@Baltaczar Its design is alright. I just wish it didn't have that umbilical cord-looking... thing.
Heatmor was at least more interesting in gen 7 when it got Fire Lash as a signature move. ...even if it wasn't in the games and had to be transferred in. But Fire Lash is still good!
Heatmor was my first shiny, and it was sick
13:43 Correction - Regigigas' attack being halved does **not** make it a flat 80. Stats aren't calculated that way.
Regigigas' maximum Attack stat is 460, which is halved to 230 with Slow Start. Assuming maximum investment, 230 Attack is equivalent to *between 55 and 56 base Attack.*
Here's Starly putting out identical numbers to Regigigas:
252+ Atk Slow Start Regigigas Return vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mew: *108-127 (31.6 - 37.2%) -- 83.8% chance to 3HKO*
252+ Atk Starly Return vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mew: *108-127 (31.6 - 37.2%) -- 83.8% chance to 3HKO*
Rattata also leaves Regigigas in the dust.
252+ Atk Rattata Return vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mew: *109-129 (31.9 - 37.8%) -- 91% chance to 3HKO*
It's also why azumarill hits way harder than a mon with 100 base attack when it has huge power
Rattata is also more likely to get a KO thanks to FEAR.
A common rat is more deadly than a legendary king of golems.
Conversely, this is why Huge Power, Pure Power and Thick Club Marowak are so strong. Doubling the actual stat is worth a LOT more than doubling the base stat. I've noticed Chugga misses this a lot in his Pokemon LPs, often calling Medicham a "mixed attacker" when its actual physical power vastly eclipses its special power.
🤓🤓🤓
By the same calculations, attempting to fully invest a neutral nature Regigigas' speed gives it an effective base speed of 25.
The key system really is the best way to do it. It's sad that TPC doesn't do it anymore. I almost thought we could do it in Sun/Moon at the altar of the sun/moon when you go through that wormhole .
I thought so too kind of! I thought the Lake of the Sunne Cosmog would evolve into the other version’s Legendary, sort of like catching Lugia in Gold’s postgame.
@@chuggafunny. I thought the exact same thing. But when they’re so close to having a cool idea for something that would totally work, it gets either downgraded or shafted for better or for worse.
Something mildly interesting about Regigigas in this game is that this is the only time in the entire series that Regigigas has used the Legendary Titans' theme. In every other game, it's used the Sinnoh Legendary theme (except in Sword and Shield, where it uses the Max Raid theme)
As if having one of the worst abilities in all of Pokemon wasn't enough, it's not even given the battle theme it deserves starting with the 3DS games onwards. Game Freak's Cruelty knows no bounds.
We’ve reached the big boy himself, the king of the giants. He’s got an attack stat of 160, defense of 110… and freaking slow start as an ability
Even in a game where they took away abilities... he still had Slow Start..... There is no respect for him from Game Freak.
Fuck Game Freak for screwing him over
I was never able to see regice and regigigas as a kid because of the whole key thing, its cool to see what that would have looked like!
God I can only imagine how frustrating it was back when gen 5 was new...
@@theogravity866 yeah... I hated it as a kid and still kinda do, lol
@@spagootest2185i still hate it lol. Its a dumb system
@@lastmidnight0114 my friends as a kid never had pokemon games to trade with, so I just missed out on all of the version exclusive stuff ;p
Chuggaa pickup line: "Hey girl. You got the whole... bulbous thing going on."
You know, I’m just gonna say it. I fully believe that Emile will encounter a shiny Pokémon at least once during this entire LP.
Well apart from the gifted one from White Tree Hollow
@@stinkyroadhog1347 well of course. I just have a feeling he will be able to get a shiny
Maybe! This is the most probable series for it, given how much we’re doing.
@@stinkyroadhog1347or the pokedex completion present
I'm gonna bet it would've already happened if he never used repels
Dan Green really hams up nearly every scene his characters are involved in.
And the overworld Regi part, GOD. I always got irked a bit by them not using those doll sprites, especially after finding that they were in Ruby/Sapphire as well and not just an Emerald addition.
Edit: Although it is interesting how with those we got more abstract Gen 1-2-styled Pokemon sprites in Gen 3.
The only "bad" thing about Key Systems is to wait until after entering the Hall of Fame to activate. Although all events related to the keys (except challenge and easy modes) are not available in the main game
Also that they disappear if you reset your game. Was pretty bummed when I reset my Black 2 and wanted to play the game in challenge mode
0:12 *I LOVE RANDOM BYRON CUT-INS!!*
*I LOVE RANDOM BYRON REFERENCES!!!*
I think it’s funny that Regigigas is obtainable both at level 1 and level 100 depending on the game.
Regigasas trying to use revenge and payback after Emile’s bio of him. He’s really sick of being the Punch-Line
I imagine he didn’t like all the things he was saying when trying to catch him either
Ha!
Registeel used amnesia when Chuggaa called it thick. Either it's confused by the compliment or actively trying to forget what just happened. That's the sign of a true pokemon master right there, the power to traumatize a legendary steel type.
Also, the legendary words of the mover of continents; Zut zutt.
I absolutely ADORE the regi art for this series. It’s really captured their automaton guardian vibes.
Even if Gigas has the most unnecessary ability ever, I still love it and the other’s aesthetic and theming.
As someone who had never got a DS Regi trio (I don't have black 2 but i do have white 2), seeing Registeel's and Gigas' moving sprite was a treat.
12:52 it actually is worse than 80, as slow start halves the actual stat, as in AFTER MODIFIES so it's even power than a base 80 attack pokemon
I always found the cries the Regis use in the anime really satisfying to listen to! 🎶
I love that one video here on RUclips where the Regis cries are replaced with Windows XP noises. SO FREAKING HILARIOUS!!!! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂❤❤❤
@@BangersAndMashmonkey I know right?! 😂
ÜN ÜN ÜN
"REGICE! RE-REGICE!"
*"REGIIIICCCCCEEEEEEE!"*
I love those too. Mostly because in my opinion they're completely alien and terrifying sounding.
Regigigas moved to Unova and regained the levels it lost.
Little fun fact: This is the only game in the series where Regigigas uses the Regi battle theme. In most other games, it uses the Sinnoh legendary theme instead, and in Sword and Shield, it uses the Max Raid theme.
Trueee thoo
The artwork at the end is really cool. I love the way the artist interpreted the team as humans.
I know, right! It took me a moment to realise what I was looking at but, when I did, I was seriously impressed!
Given Chuggaa's whole thing on wanting to explore for legendaries, he's probably gonna like how they're doing it for Scarlet and Violet's DLC
Emile wondering why regigigas is hardly hurting regirock when he’s already talked about the fact that regirock has one of the best physical defence in the game
Poor Heatmor, it has such a cool design for a fire-breathing anteater, I just wish it stood out more in battle
There is something similar to the version exclusives in the SwSh DLC: Dynamax Adventures version exclusives only matter for random raids based on the host, so you can queue into the opposite version's random raids and save a path to them, or follow a friend's saved path.

I like how when Emile started talking about the "Attractiveness" of Registeel, the voice of John definitely appeared in his head because he backtracked the exact same way he always does during the TRG videos when he says something weird that John calls him out for.
as a Heatmoor enjoyer, I can't stay silent about this. Heatmoor is cool, it's not my favorite but he's a solidly up there as one of my favorite fire-types. I never understood why people think hes forgettable. Plus his shiny is super cool. I feel the same about Maractus too, I really like it.
I saw the Shiny for the first time today and… yeah, I was missing out!
It takes a long time to get in its debut game, isn't known for being used by any important trainers and isn't a special encounter like Volcarona. I can see why it might slip some peoples' minds.
Yess a fellow Heatmor enjoyer!! I'm sad it doesn't show up till Victory Road in BW and post game in BW2 :((
6:30 Ok Emile being attracted to the curves on a Registeel was not on my expectations for the video
I grew up in a mostly Xbox CoD neighborhood where people weren’t into Nintendo. Nobody wanted to trade legendaries or other version exclusives with me. Black 2 and White 2 were the exception. I actually knew someone with the opposite version so I was able to get the Regi trio and Regigigas. It was so exciting doing this as a kid.
I thought of this idea to buff Regigigas by fixing up Slow Start.
First two turns, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed are reduced by 25%
Third and fourth turns has the stat reduction be by 10% instead of 25%.
Fifth turn has its stat reduction completely gone.
honestly I feel like at this point regigigas with an abillity like run away that does nothing wouldn't even be that broken by legendary standards. Just giving him negaive priority for five turns so it always goes last would already be enough for it to be nerfed without being unusable
Ok.....that art at the end....that took me a second to get. That is some AMAZING art
Pignati, Entry Log 86: *Stretches* the fact I’ve become numb to meeting even the Legendary Continent puller is saying a lot. After capturing Registeel thanks to someone else who found the key for us. We managed to awaken Regigigas after finding him at the bottom of Twist Mountain. After McFly softened him up the fight went to our new friend Regirock who tanked for us for most of the fight. Afterward, we went on to explore the mountain we couldn’t get to before. So far, it’s been a nice look around.
McFly, Entry Log 81: Marvelous! After a nice tussle with Registeel who couldn’t seem to understand my immunity to electric attacks. We go to meet the big one, the one known for immense power and creating complex creations. Too bad it’s clear that laying dormant for so long left the mighty golem incredibly slow and weak, at least for a time. Still didn’t stop it from knocking me down after a few blows though. I’ve never been all that resilient to be fair. After that, we went to Twist Mountain and I wondered how it became this shape.
Aiden, Entry Log 76: A slow day for me. Aside from some alright fights, I don’t have much to talk about. I must say though getting to explore this last area of Unova before seeing the bottom right makes me think about how we’re nearing the end more or less. This is a topic that’s been brought up more than once on this journey but one that keeps popping into my head. *sigh* I hope I’m ready for when the time comes.
Jade, Entry Log 69: So, me and Lasagna got some needed alone time with each other in the PC however brief it was. We went on a thing humans call a date. Exploring every single box and getting caught up with all of the other pokémon in here. It was quite the adventure and allowed us to just talk and explore our feelings in more depth. Our love goes well beyond the physical and we really admire each other one way or another. I just want us to be the best for each other and the more we hang out the more confident I become.
Harmony, Entry Log 60: Seeing Registeel and Regigigas unlocked even more memories. Of times of both worship and fear. Such a powerful being was quite gentle most of the time but when enraged they become a berserker with no restraint. No wonder they were sealed away after some time yet still revered as an entity of both fame and infamy. I think these beings live all over the world too just all sealed away and waiting to be released when the time comes.
Lasagna, Entry Log 28: My time with Jade in the PC was precious and I got to learn way more about her too, yes I did. Learning about her personal likes and dislikes, what motivates her, what makes her smile, and what she prefers to eat, is so much to know. I want to show this lass that I am the one for her, yes I do. So, I will be catering to her every need and desire the best I can. While also making sure I am the best version of myself and will be able to prove to myself that I am worthy of Jade, yep yep.

Heatmor isn't my favorite, but I do appreciate him for being a silly guy. I also like the way his arms look, and his tail gives me rather specific nostalgic vibes from my childhood

6:33 Somewhere, somehow, Jon sensed a disturbance in the Force and sighed heavily.
I've never bothered, or really been able to, go after the Regis in this game, mostly because of the key system, so this is all new content for me.
I finally got around to playing the Scarlet dlc recently, and Chugga's recent legendary struggles make me feel better about the thirty or so balls I chucked at Okidogi today that barely shook once while it was at a sliver of its health. I can't remember a legendary battle in any recent Pokemon game that took me as long as that did. My switch was at 5% battery when I finally caught it.
And the monkey only took, like, three Ultra balls max.
That's just legendary pokemon luck for you.
The sequel to Platinums Regigigas art is here! And it as glorious as I expected. What a difference these few years make.
Granted, it's still Regigigas, but who cares! The has returned, and he's no longer only level one.
The locked Glaceon to the post game on purpose, and it saddens me. I love Glaceon. It's my favorite Eevee alongside Espeon, but you're almost never able to use it in a playthrough.
Rip Heatmor. Always forgotten.
The only reason I ever used Heatmor was to complete a type triangle for the PWT during my first playthrough.
Needless to say, I never got far in the PWT. Heatmor is the definition of mediocre.
I've never seen Cryogonal's chains as a moustache. I've always seen it as a creepy, drooling mouth. The thing is a demon snowflake.
Heatmor is my favorite Fire-type Pokémon, and it's somewhere in my top 10 favorites overall. And those who know me will know that that's saying a lot that none of the Fire/Poison-types have surpassed it in my eyes. I love the design, I just wish the stats were better as well.
I have found another who has Heatmor in their top 10!! Yay!
Emile encapsulates my pain in regards to glaceon. Glaceon is my favorite of the eeveelution, and I will always use it as much as I can
Its a favorite of mine too, ice really needs a buff that doesn't just rely on its weather gimmick to be effective.
Yeah, I remember using it in black 2. I really like it.
Finally used a Glaceon when i played Legends Arceus and it was a valuable addition to the team. Was the only eeveelution left that I hadn't used at that point.
The same Gamefreak that treat Regigigas unfairly are the same Gamefreak that somehow let Zacian exist
Let that sink in
Fair and Balance
And the same Game Freak that decided that Zamazenta needed a nerf, despite also not nerfing Regidrago when nerfing Regieleki.
Believe me, I have let this sink in and it makes me so mad.
Hey, at least they Neufeld zacian in scarlet and violet!
... and weaken it's sister to the point of it no longer being a Uber
And let Tera type fighting calerex shadow and ice regikiki be a thing.
Post home was terrorflying, even as a bystander
Zacian, Chi Yu, Chen Pao, Kingambit, Palafin, _Urshifu_, _Flutter Mane_
It’s insane how Regigigas exists in the same has as these
So I may be one of the two or three people in the world to love heatmor. Firstly, like you pointed out with bug bite, it has comical lore with Durant and I'm always so appreciative of Pokémon duos. Secondly, it has such a diverse move pool which I think gets heavily overlooked just because it isn't available until very late in every game it's been in. I think the earliest is XY where it's after the 6th gym. And finally, it's one of my favourite shinies, it gives so much more of a volcanic feel and it just looks cool. Its one of those more forgotten Pokémon that has a place in my heart
1:35 raids let you join players of the opposite version, and thankfully let you catch the other mon
Well hey Chugga,in recent days your boy Weezing makes Regigigas a beast with the ability neutralizing gas!
Me, sitting here hugging a glaceon plush as I listen to you talk about it.
Bastiodon enjoyer jumpscare 0:12
I'm so proud with how far Regigigas has come. From being level 1 in Platinum, to being a higher level in this game but still having Slow Start, to having that ability nullified when matched up with Weezing and being viable. Yes, it's a very specific circumstance, but the option exists now. You go Regigigas!
I appreciate how Snacksworth's legendaries in Scarlet/Violet function very similar to the key system, with some being version-exclusive just doing Solo BB Quests, but all of them being available through Group Quests (plus some "third cover legends" EXCLUSIVE to Group Quests)
I really like the idea of sharing exclusive legendary pokemon as chugga said and is the best use of the key system. Sword and Shield could share exclusives if they appeared in raids too where a player from the other game can connect to them and catch it.
Also these were the first games you might have been able to get the regis including Regigigas and its relatively simple to get them. Only one other set of games id say its easier to get them all with 2 more added to the family way in the future of these games.
Also another thing with Glaceon it drives me absolutely nuts that usually you cant get it until near the end of the game or very late in the adventure until Sword and Shield. Even in ORAS they put the moss rock in Petalburg woods so you could get it earlier. What makes me even more mad is that in the Ultra Games they reworked the Seward Cave into a Ice Area but couldnt put the Ice Rock in there. Its not like Glaceon has too much to do in the early game of the Alola Games apart from the Grass Trial. Thank Goodness they changed how you get Leafeon and Glaceon in Sword and Shield
So the thing about Glaceon is more related to what I dub the type tiers. Essentially Game Freak tries to make a natural progression of Pokemon available can have as a type. There's types that they decide you can have on route 1 (Normal, Bug, Grass, Flying, Dark starting Gen 3), stuff that's a bit into the game (Fighting, Poison, Rock, Fire, Water, Fairy) and so on. Game Freak seemingly tiers Ice with Dragon and puts only in the later third of the game. IDK why several lock the Icy Rock until the endgame/post game instead of like the 6th gym
god i love the swarms in this game they're so convenient
I still fondly remember when my brother and I were playing Black and White 2 for the first time and were able to trade these keys to do this exact thing. It was such a magical experience
Seeing my favorite Legendary tower over the earth itself made my day. Love this guy!
Was Regigigas foreshadowed, though? I remember hearing that the "We feared it" line in the original Japanese didn't really refer to anything specific in singular or plural, and likely was just referring to the trio.
I love how in generation 8, Weezing of all Pokémon was able to allow Regigigas to realize its full potential thanks to the former's Neutralizing Gas. Who knew that all it took for a Pokémon with a troublesome ability to be viable was to have that ability taken away entirely? I'm sure that the duo will continue to fight the good fight once Regigigas releases and later becomes legal in Gen 9 VGC.
Even if the regis arent in gen 9, the fact thst they removed carrying over moves from previous games killed registeel's possibility to be competitive. Because you needed a registeel from gen 3 for it to be viable. It only got seismic toss from tutors in emerald.
Registeel could just use irondefense+bodypress instead
"DEFIANT STATEMENT: THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO ME
DO YOUR WORST"
[Dusk ball pings off its surface]
"REVOLTING"
My favorite Regigigas strat is to pair it with a Cofagrigas. It works even in singles as long as your opponent doesn't predict it.
"Skipped" trainer defeat text for this episode:
23:09 *Worker Victor:* It looks like you can also make an ice-and-heat combination!
24:24 *Hiker Hunter:* When I lose, my spirits sink...
25:37 *Worker Cliff:* It is just as I had thought! A monstrously strong Trainer!
32:25 *Nurse Carol:* Your love of Pokémon really came through...
Glaceon is such a fun use, I used one in a Platinum run and it ended up being my most reliable party member, I could just throw it out against like anything and do a great job dealing with it, even tanking Cynthia's Garchomp about 5 levels under and then 1 hitting it straight after, he was such a reliable little goober, unlike the Garchomp and Staraptor I ran with it, and I don't think that Dusknoir I also ran won any significant fight after evolving from Duskull, though in their defence, I probably used them wrong
I remember this being the last OOOH Moment in Pokémon I had for years.
Exploring play tunnel, and eventually finding the hidden Regi chamber; constantly changing my DS time from day tonight to try to figure out the puzzle, and when I eventually found out that it opened a chamber and a legendary. Pokémon I’ve only ever seen in a. Pokémon movie was sitting there I was freaking the heck out!
At the time I own multiple DS systems and a copy black and white two so trading the keys back-and-forth was awesome and then eventually wandering through twist mountain, and again finding another legendary. Pokémon I’ve only seen in the anime it was great; and a moment I will never forget.
Also, not so fun fact, this is the only game where the king of the Reggies actually has the Regi battle theme; platinum it has the generation 4 a legendary theme.
Same thing for the ruby and sapphire remakes.
Same thing again for ultra sun and moon
And you fight it in a max raid battle in sword and shield
Glad to see Chugga acknowledging the Heat Crash issue. Inversely, Grass Knot and Low Kick actually get better later on as their base powers hit above attacks like Energy Ball and Brick Break when used as coverage attacks. I used to spec a Rapidash specifically to 1 shot Tyrannitars with Low Kick during my small stints playing Pokemon Showdown.
Specifically on Scarlet and Violet exclusives: only the player with the version they're from can spawn the pokemon, but if you're next to them when they do, you can go up and catch it yourself
0:12 Best jumpscare ever
I love it when your Let's Plays include facets of multiplayer (in this case, sharing keys); I didn't have anyone to play with growing up, so a lot of this is stuff I never got the chance to see! I didn't even know about sharing keys until watching this playthrough, but that also might be because Gen V is the generation I've played the least.
Unova Link is such a neat idea! Sword/Shield also did something similar for raids if you join someone playing the other game. Dynamax Adventures as well.
Emile describing Registeel's curves reminds me of Mr. Krabs talking about Mrs. Puff.
"We arent about ⛛ or ⛶, we're talking about ⭕!"
While it's not my favorite Pokémon(that honor goes to Blastoise), Heatmor is one of my favorite underrated Pokémon. When I first saw it, I liked its design and the fact that it got Flash Fire. My go-to nicknames for it were Clawdius and Clawdia since anteaters have large claws.
The last adventure convinced me to try Cryoganal in Black, and it served me quite well
My favourite Heatmor-related fact is definiteley how they just randomly decided to give it a signature move (Fire lash) in gen 7
Someone may have pointed this out but I really enjoyed the eon ticket concept for ORAS, it is unfortunately somewhat temporally locked but it was a pleasant surprise to receive eon ticket from street passing with fellow pokemon players
Definitely one of my favourite fan arts at the end.
To think that since its debut, it took all the way until Gen VIII (Sword/Shield) for it to actually be able to get around its crippling weakness as it then can learn moves like Rest and Recover to help it stall out foes with its tremendous bulk of its triple 110/110/110 defensive spread and only being weak to Fighting. Yep that's right, it took four generations after its debut for it to actually be good and not horrible in terms of its physical Attack. Thankfully it does learn some Physical moves that use other mechanics like:
- Heavy Slam/Heat Crash which increase in power the heavier the user is compared to the opponent and Regigigas weighs a lot 925.0 lb/420 kg.
- Body Press which works off the user's Defense Stat, doing more damage the higher it is. Max IVs/EVs with a Defense positive nature is 178 at Lvl 50 and 350 at Lvl 100.
On its Special side it's not as decent because it only has 145 Sp.Atk at Lvl 50 and 284 Sp.Atk at Lvl 100 if you run full IVs/EVs in Sp.Atk with a positive nature. It does learn Earth Power, Focus 'Miss', Icy Wind, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Round and Hyperbeam in Sw/Sh so it's not too shabby. The only physical move you'd then want is Crush Grip.
For BD/SP, it's able to learn Psych Up which it can't learn in Gen VIII. Take note that it can use this on an ally or an opponent that tried to set-up on it by buffing their stats if the enemy didn't try to get rid of the offensively weakened golem. This actually gets around Slow Start semi-decently as if the opponent buffed their Attack and Speed and somehow can't defeat it right away.
The negative about Slow Start in PLA is pretty much the opposite due to the mechanics in that game, sure it moves long after you as it gets an Attack/Turn Speed nerf in a game where abilities shouldn't even exist but that doesn't mean too much. The Attack nerf means little because it can still flatten opponents due to how damage is calculated.
Speaking of Cryogonal in this episode, because you used it last time I decided to give it a shot on my team for a draft league and I enjoyed using it a lot. I didn't win with it but I decided to use it again in 2 more draft leagues. Unfortunately it didn't do much in the 3rd league just due to having bad match ups. However in the 2nd league I used it I actually won the whole draft league, while it wasn't my mvp of the league (that goes to Jellicent actually) it did help me win the semi-finals. It has now become one of my favorite pokemon, so I want to thank you for introducing me to this pokemon I overlooked for so long
In terms of satisfying legendary hunting, not sure about satisfying but Gen 6 does have Zygarde hidden in Terminus Cave, even though after that with Gen 7 and 8 there was less of a “go find the legendaries” (especially in SwSh where the base game had one empty wild area, a few corridor route leaving no exploration, and the DLC which are mostly “you can find legendaries at these locations”)
But Gen 9 has the Quartet of Ruin and Indigo Disc looks like it will have legendaries you will have to find across Paldea and the other two DLC locations so there is hope for satisfying legendary hunting
Huh. You'd think that Registeel being the balanced one, would be in both versions, while the ones that specialize in a specific defense, would be split. Maybe that's just how I would do it, though.
12:43
It's worse. Slow Start halves the total stat, not the base. So you end up with around 55 to 57 as a base stat.
To put this into perspective a Dedenne will hit physically harder than Slow Start Regigigas.
In conclusion, it is much worse than what is probably intended
Awaken, my Regis!
I wasn't expecting the sudden Byron jumpscare at the top of the episode. I heard he loves defence, but I'll need confirmation on that (smile).
I have very fond memories of finding Regigigas in my first playthrough. I knew what the original Regi trio were, thanks to the Emerald Let's Play funnily enough and I recognized them when I found them later, but I had never seen Regigigas and I had no idea they were related. Because of this I had no idea what the "Body of Rock, Ice and Steel" hints meant, my guess for the Steel one was actually Cobalion because of how it's pokedex entries mention it having a heart of iron or something like that.
Interesting thing to note about this Regigigas encounter. For whatever reason, this, is the one and only time in the series where Regigigas actually gets the Regi Battle theme. Literally every other time, DPPt, USUM, even ORAS, he just gets the generic Sinnoh legendary theme, besides SwSh where he's a raid boss. As someone who is a massive fan of music in video games and how tracks are used, it's so weird and kinda disappointing.
Only 14 seconds into the video, and I’m already in love
Man, Registeel. Imagine facing THAT guy during the Clone Wars. Also, fella's call makes him sound like a Transformer.
I love the thumbnail already.
Regarding what you were saying about how modern games implement legendaries, I think Ultra Sun would have been great at doing this if they had fleshed out the wormholes more. If the locations in those holes were designed as full fleshed worlds to explore with unique puzzles for each ultra beast or legendary then I would be confident that Ultra Sun did it best. However, because the Wormhole worlds are just on location as a straight line, it just felt like missed potential.
I love Regigigas on a conceptual level, a Pokemon that starts off weak but then passively gets really strong, especially for a Legendary, is an interesting idea. Limitations that you need to work around to take advantage of is one of my favourite tropes in customizing and synergizing builds and teams in games. It raises interesting questions like "Do I wanna take moves that stall for more turns, or different coverage moves to better take advantage of it when Slow Start wears off?"... With that said, Regigigas' limitation is just way too harsh in these games, I feel it would be a lot better if it was balanced around the fact it goes against how Pokemon is actually played in reality rather than how it currently stands.
That Registeel art is great, the closest any of us will come to living out our Zap Cannon power fantasies.
Crush Grip should deal a flat 75% damage. Like, yeah, Regigigas is slowed down and can't punch good, but you'll still get crushed if it manages to grab you. This way, Regigigas could at least work as a slow bulky attacker that cripples enemy Pokémon with Crush Grip and then finishes them off with an attacking move. Yeah, it's a little strong, but this is a colossal super titan who lords over the other Regis, it SHOULD be strong.
I had a rough night last night and have been running on 2 and a half hours of sleep all day…and it’s starting to wear off…but I should have enough energy to do this!
In this episode:
Just like the Regi Quintet, Regigigas is also a really cool Pokémon! I just love the titanic humanoid form annnnzzzzzzzz…ZzzzzZZZZzzzz…
i used heatmor once in a hacked version of ultra sun, granted it had some stat changes to it. That being said, due to using it there i've grown to like it a lot more, besides its shiny's pretty damn good imo
Fun fact about Heatmor, in Sun and Moon they gave Heatmor a signature move in the form of Fire Lash, an 80 power physical Fire move with a chance to lower defense. Another fun fact about Heatmor, this pokemon was completely unobtainable in both Sun and Moon and the Ultra games without Pokemon Bank. That's probably simultaneously the most and least recognition that Heatmor has ever had in its entire life.
6:30 well now you're just ASKING twitter artists to do their thing lmao
In this episode, we learn Emile's type. And its steel.
Well his favorite type is poison, so he would be a poison type, I guess he would need someone who resists him
@@dogiechik Oh yes Registeel, suck the poison outta me.
Got a few things to say from this episode and the last one since they kind of go together:
YES! They SHOULD'VE used the Regi doll sprites for the Regis in Emerald, I've thought this for so long!
I've been talking about this the past few days, about how ORAS was the last game to put any effort into its Legendary Pokemon. Even if most of them come from Hoopa portals, they're still in locations you would expect them to be. Heatran is in the Scorched Slab, the Forces of Nature are in a storm cloud, the Creation Trio are in a space-time rift, the Lake Guardians have their signature pattern on the floor, Cresselia is on a crescent-shaped island, and Regigigas is... ridiculous, but at least thought out. It would've been a different story if USUM's Ultra Wormhole took you to unique environments for each one like they do for the Ultra Beasts, maybe recreations of their original appearance like Platinum's Distortion World or Spear Pillar, the Snowpoint Temple, Seafoam Islands, Power Plant and Mt Silver, and so forth. Sword/Shield onwards just dump them all under the proverbial magic rug so competitive players have access to them. Black/White 2 does such a good job of adding them organically, the music is a remix of the old Gen 3 Sealed Chamber theme, their battle themes are back, Regirock's puzzle is the same as in Gen 3 and as you said, the way the other two are unlocked is a genius compromise between version-exclusives and not having to buy two games.
It's unfortunate that the only game in the whole series to make Glaceon available at the same time as the other Eeveelutions is a remake and thus probably won't be covered by Emile, at least not for a long time. Yes it's ORAS because ORAS is based like that.
Fun fact: This is the only time in the entire Pokémon series that Regigigas has the actual Regi theme playing for its battle. Every other time it has the Sinnoh Legendary theme play (excluding Sword and Shield where it has the Dynamax theme)
There's a fun fact about Regigigas, its design is based on it being sealed away for so long that those hedges and moss grew on its body naturally. Thematically, Slow Start makes sense for it being such a disappointment for a "king" or legendary pokemon. Because of Legends Arceus and the new Primal forms Palkia and Dialga got for being at their full power, this only suggests that Regigigas was never revealed at its prime because its been sealed away before the time period where Legends Arceus takes place in.
You know this was recorded before the last Indigo Disk trailer with that talk of Legendaries being out in the world organically.
Fun fact: B2W2 is the only game in the entire series where Regigigas uses the Regi battle theme instead of the standard Sinnoh Legendary theme (or Dynamax battle theme in the case of Crown Tundra).
It is a strangely consistent thing revolving around Regigigas that he never uses the special theme used for the Regis, except for this game.
It is not that they didn't include the Sinnoh Legendary theme in the game, since Heatran uses that. It's just... very odd....
That really bother me when emile play platinum and battle regigigas i was like "why can they just use the regi battle theme from the start instead of having it own battle theme"
I prefer Fire Punch on Emboar over Heat Crash. While 75 base power isn't the highest, it's usually high enough and far more consistent.
