Starmie has been the MVP for my playthrough. Had a friend hatch one and trade it over early. Thunderbolt, Surf, Dazzling Gleam, and Psychic, rolled the E4. Grown to love that thing after that
Dragonite is such a tank with Multiscale. Hits like one too, especially after a single Dragon Dance. It’s a shame he no longer can use Dual Wingbeat in BDSP but his movepool is still so damn good.
@@LilShriga Dragon Claw for STAB, Dragon Dance for Setup, Extreme Speed for Priority, and either Fire Punch or Earthquake for coverage. Personally, I stick with Earthquake more often for the higher damage.
@@toritosilva No reason at all. Just personal preference. It’s just that if my opponent switched to a more suitable Pokémon and Dragonite at least has an alternate option to deal damage to it, I wish to switch to that option rather than switch the Pokémon. That’s just me though because your current moveset is also good.
Magnezone is amazing in game. I should consider grabbing a Magnemite from the Grand Underground when I go for another playthough. I totally went and grabbed a Gible as soon as I got the 6th gym badge. I needed that Garchomp fix.
@@isaacskinner3643 You can get magnemite in the underground and then evolve him in magneton lvl 30 and then you can use a thunderstone when you dig it up in the underground or wait a bit longer to find it above👍
I personally prefer Electivire over Magenzone, in a head to head matchup Electivire absolutely walls Magenzone with Motor Drive nullifying it’s electric moves and Electivire has access to dig, flamethrower, fire punch and hammer arm to decimate Magnezone
I would love a more in-depth review on each of the top 10. Like what nature to look for etc. With my return to Pokemon games this channel is super helpful.
Garchomp was in Ubers despite not being a legendary or having Shadow Tag. It made sense to be Number 1, with the best non-setup physical only moveset being Earthquake, Outrage (although I prefer Dragon Rush), Fire Fang, and Iron Head/Poison Jab (whether Fire Fang won’t be enough for an Ice or a Grass type).
How do you get Fire Fang on a Garchomp in BDSP? By breeding? - I thought that was not possible.... How ever Dragonite can come pretty close with: Earthquake Outrage/Dragon Rush/Dragon Claw Fire Punch/Thunder Punch Steel Wing/Extreme Speed Dragonite has even more base Attack than Garchomp and brings more bulk with Multiscale.
@@Swamtrooper8 Garchomp can’t get Fire Fang. You’ll need both Iron Head and Poison Jab for Ice and Fire types, or simply swap one with Giga Impact for a finish.
I have Scizor and Clefable on my current playthrough team. My plan before launch was to have Rotom Wash on the team as well, but found out it was post game, so instead had Floatzel and Electivire to replace that need. My plan for my next playthrough team is to create one around using Infernape and Gliscor (I used Torterra in my first one).
My dragonite has been my teams ace forever it’s such a defensive tank and can recover well with roost plus having dragon dance and like 2 attacking moves just makes it quite viable at sweeping
Ran into a Lvl 28 absol on my first trip to the underground right after the 2nd gym. Had a 90+ attack already and two levels later learned night slash. Also caught with slash and was able to learn night claw, giving me 3 high chance crit moves. As of rn (in the middle of the team galactic lake battles currently) Absol is damn near carrying me thru this game.
I used to think Steel Types were overrated, but after using them in back to back games ( Corviknight and Copperajah in Sword and Magnezone in Brilliant Diamond), I now see why they're so widely used
@@tylord96 Metagross WAS neutral back then before they nerfed steel a bit in gen vi. I guess having Mega Metagross that doesn't weak to Dark were too much 😂
Dragonite's 80 Base Speed MysticUmbreon: Omg That Speed is Awful is why its holding it ba.... Dragonite holding Extreme Speed: lol you activated my trap card Why am I appreciating Mystics Hating
If you don't wanna use rotom wash use milotic. My playthrough I'm doing right now, she carried me in the elite 4 and the rest of the game. Make shore it has competitive though. By far the best ability for single player. Mine had a modest nature with a ev or IV (I don't remember) in sp. atk. Surf (Vale stone Department store) Rain Dance ( Vale stone Department store or lvl up) Hydro pump (lvl up) Ice beam (Vale stone Department store) Have fun finding it in the basement of Mt. Coranet. 4 random tiles in the whole water. Trust me though it's worth it. Edit: To max out it's beauty is easy. Chesto razz and Oran barries are the best for the poffens you want, they make 28 or 29x3. Just make sure you use your highest poffens first or it won't be high enough and you have to start over with a different feebass.
Just a personal opinion but Gastrodon should atleast get an honorable mention. It can be used to tank ice and water hits for that Gligar. amazing coverage with it's Ice beam, Earth power, scald, recover set. using leftovers for more consistent healing. and its only weak to grass. Things a monster to fight.
I'd like to also mention Feraligatr here. Feraligatr is one of the few fully evolved starters with a good hidden ability. Namely Sheer Force. Give it a Life Orb and use Dragon Dance a couple of times and it'll be quite a threat.
Hey Mystic. I'm very psyched for the Best Team for BDSP and the alternate starter Best Team for BDSP this Saturday. Also, Not to be confused, Saturday is December 4th, Not the 5th, So check your calendar Mystic 😉.
played through the whole game with gligar until i reached the battle zone to evolve into gliscor totally worth it and reliable a must have pokémon for your team.
So in brilliant diamond, Gligar was a godsend for me. Learned acrobatics early and speced it into substitute, swords dance acrobatics and bulldoze and makes the game ez mode
Got him too but just found out I can’t even evolve him till end game shit is lame as fuck (maybe not all hope gone tho idk if it’s possible to find razor fang in underground)
@@hellaloud9224 i think its a rare drop from UG but still his high defense means gligar is a nice switch into any ground or electric moves and even a physical attacker will have problems taking him down. Plus you can give it an eviolite for massive stat boost until you evolve it
What about Drifblim? Minimize and stockpile into baton pass, just like in gen 4, but now strength sap!? The best Pokémon just got even better for this reason.
for reals, been running this one driftblim (modest, unburden) mago berry (for some healing and activating unburden) will-o-wisp minimize strength sap hex it helps out a lot
The more I think about it in my opinion dex cut is the best thing that's happened in awhile it gives pokemon that wouldn't have other wise shine time to be good
They could do it different. Keep the regional forms as we get them, introduce the Pokémon in later DLC to counteract congestion, balance other Mons that need it.
My team I used is the same from when I was a kid Infernape Garchomp Snorlax Togiekiss Gyradose Sizzor I was thinking of using weavile but I love Sizzor to much
Actually swampert and infernape were the most successful starters without needing megas or hidden abilities I was choked when I saw it drop to UU yesterday
one of the best pokémon on my team was Manaphy, she easily swept a couple of the Elite Fours pokemon along with most of the trainers, and was always super resilient against taking damage, Chimecho too, she was usually the last pokemon standing in my battles, along with using Leftovers, she was almost impossible to defeat, love them
It would be almost uncheckable if it had DD. It will likely never get it. If some pokemon got certain moves they would be cracked. If Rampardos got accelerock it would be busted. If Aerodactyl got brave bird and head smash it would be a monster. So many things I wish they had.
Just got my 49th win in the tower in doubles! This is the team I used. I lead with garchomp to start sword sweeping asap Garchomp @ yache berry Sand veil (Rough skin would've been better) Poison jab Dragon claw Swords dance Earthquake I lead with togekiss to absorb ice type attacks for one turn or try and get some flinches off. Paired really nice with garchomp bc of earthquake. I would've chosen a different mon but idk who else isn't hit by earthquake and has follow me. Togekiss @ Razor Fang Serene Grace Protect Air Slash Follow me Safeguard Rotom wash was there to either take out tanks with wisp and ray or hit flying targets garchomp couldn't. Rotom W @ Leftovers Levitate Discharge Will-O-Wisp Confuse Ray Hydro Pump Infernape was my finisher. His protect let rotom stall/discharge. Close combat and flare blitz is also able to clean up the last few mons with the White herb if they don't resist it. (If you and the last opponent die after you use flare blitz you still win) Infernape @ White Herb Blaze Close Combat Mach punch Flare Blitz Protect
Can't believe Spiritomb isn't on this list. I'm currently running a Gardevoir, Froslass, Gyarados, Altaria, Infernape and Spiritomb. I got interchangable pokemon for different situations like Roserade and Gliscor, but this team rips all the leaders and Elite Four to shreds
@LWKGD I have two, and I wouldn't use froslass in competitive, not fast enough. And if we're talking like actual in game multiplayer then there wouldn't be anything super effective on Spiritomb so really it's just one weakness on Froslass if I used them
the stats and ability on gastrodon is so bad ...83 attk 92 sp attk 39 speed ..maybe it can cause massive damage with an ice attack but definitely its going down before it could even pull its best move....4 1/2 resistance and 4x to grass....the only reason why it would it even make sense its because it could be tanky , learn ice beam and has substitute in its movepool...still it does not deserve to be in a top 10 spot where its overall stats is at 475 ....maybe if its a top 15 list then yea
@@lov.2.g I don't know but the 2 times that I've had him on my team he was really useful and could tank a lot of moves and it's hp stat is really good maybe that's why it can tank a lot of moves and I've been able to knock out Cynthia's garchomp with gastrodon the 2 times that I've used him!
What happened to the sound at the end there? I agree with you entirely on the list here. I've definitely used all of these once or twice in previous games and is only a matter of time until I breed them in this game around. What about Pokemon like Mismagius, Electivire, Magmortar though? Breeding for a Mismagius right now myself. That Special Attack is deadly.
Sadly weavile can’t learn icicle crash yet. It’s only ice type physical move is ice shards. When home is introduced it will be able to, but as of now it has a lot less pressure than I could.
Hey mysticumbreon, I have a garchomp on my team but… I don’t know what moveset to give it I thought like earthquake, outrage and something else but what ?? Please tell me!
@@jakeros4750 to be fair, he’s against cheating. Which is why he’s more legit than most people. Plus, Smogon is just full of whiny people who can’t handle 200IQ plays so they ban them.
It’s true that Magic Guard is a good ability, BUT it’s also true that Clefable wasn’t a worthwhile choice UNTIL it got Unaware. Unaware is the ONE reason Clefable (and Quagsire) are good.
Cloyster is insanely op. 252 EVs on Atk and Spe. Use shell smash and he out speeds every single Pokémon. Along with max attack. Use icicle crash or rock blast. Along with skill link ability
I recommend ice shard as well, I used focus sash shell smash , with max attack and speed. Togekiss hit me first to 1hp. I used shell smash thinking I was in the clear, but then it used extreme speed and killed me.
@@Senju_Jason but t tar didn't learn extreme speed, so in that case I'd use icicle spear. Not sure if that would take it out either but would do more damage assuming it has skill link
Technician+STAB aerial ace is great as well. With STAB plus technician, aerial ace from tech sycther is hitting at 120 base power, along with always being guranteed to hit, being unaffected by accuracy drops
Cynthia’s Garchomp back then was Scary in the Original Diamond & Pearl. Platinum had it 5 levels lower: Not as scary but be careful. Unova made scarier by a Level 77/78 Garchomp. Couldn’t reach her in the Battle Tree because of the Sheer Difficulty. Present Day with Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl: Take that same Garchomp & make it as strong as Red’s Pikachu in HG/SS & give it its Hidden Ability as well as Swords Dance = A Pokémon raised by a TRUE Champion!!
@LWKGD I don't use Gardevoirs psychic moves. So that's why I replace Palkia with Alakazam sometimes. I don't really care about "cheating" lol Legendaries aren't all that strong.
@LWKGD a legendary Pokemon cannot solo the entire elite 4. PLEASE 🤣 especially not in BDSP and ehhh yeah that's the idea they sell but realistically there are non legends Pokemons that can kill legendary Pokemons pretty easy. I gave Alakazam as a replacement to Palkia for people who do care. I don't use psychic moves with Gardevoir. I only have Fairy and Dark moves with her so that's why I use Alakazam as my psychic Pokemon. Raichu and Ponyta are faster which is why I use them because with Thunder and Fire moves it's more important for me for them to be faster. Raichu dodges hits most of the time after using agility so I never have that problem. I beat the Elite Four and Cynthia with this team fairly easy. Also beat them again without Palkia. I think this team is a great if you know how to use them. Also beat the game without held items.
@LWKGD that's not what you said but either way this is not my team when I battle competively. Althought I have an won multiple times. It's really about knowing how to use your Pokemon rather than just using solely pokemon who have the best stats. This is just the team for my playthrough.
@LWKGD lmfao you didn't give me a video of anything. I don't really think you're really a good player tbh. You seem like you watch videos all day and just copy the pokemon with high stats. If you go to the Global room you'll see people who are actually good at battling. They use all types of pokemon that you think would be weak but they use them really well. I don't mind you sharing your view but I think its a bit amateur. I still stand by everything I said.
I saw a rotom in the grand underground once when i was first starting and i was surprised because from what i knew it was a rare pokemom but new game whatever i didn’t pay it any mind and now i’m mad i have to level up a level 15 one
Many shocking pokes missing... Gastrodon, Gyarados, Breloom and Gengar would replace Weavile, Clefable, Magnezone and either Dragonite or Tyranitar for me.
Starmie has been the MVP for my playthrough. Had a friend hatch one and trade it over early. Thunderbolt, Surf, Dazzling Gleam, and Psychic, rolled the E4. Grown to love that thing after that
Luxray and togekiss have been the mvps of my team against cynthia, togekiss is 100% worth the effort
Starmie is just insane.

Man I really love the style of your video’s/channel! Really welldone ❤️
considering how much MU despises slow pokemon, im astounded he was able to so casually overlook Tyranitars speed...

2.Infernape - Scarfed
3. Weavile/Dragonite CB
4. Clef
5.Magnezone/Scizor
6. Glis
7.Latias/Manaphy

Sand veil (Rough skin would've been better)
Poison jab
Dragon claw
Swords dance
Earthquake
I lead with togekiss to absorb ice type attacks for one turn or try and get some flinches off. Paired really nice with garchomp bc of earthquake. I would've chosen a different mon but idk who else isn't hit by earthquake and has follow me.
Togekiss @ Razor Fang
Serene Grace
Protect
Air Slash
Follow me
Safeguard
Rotom wash was there to either take out tanks with wisp and ray or hit flying targets garchomp couldn't.
Rotom W @ Leftovers
Levitate
Discharge
Will-O-Wisp
Confuse Ray
Hydro Pump
Infernape was my finisher. His protect let rotom stall/discharge. Close combat and flare blitz is also able to clean up the last few mons with the White herb if they don't resist it. (If you and the last opponent die after you use flare blitz you still win)
Infernape @ White Herb
Blaze
Close Combat
Mach punch
Flare Blitz
Protect
I’m here for the great info and the editing audio mistakes at the end! Yes!! 🤘🏽
Magnezone also has magnet-rise to Levitate from ground types
Mystic, what happened to your conclusion before the outro?
I still don't have the games but if I get Brilliant diamond from my dad this list would be useful. But I like the list.
The thumbnail is pretty sick tbh
Can't believe Spiritomb isn't on this list. I'm currently running a Gardevoir, Froslass, Gyarados, Altaria, Infernape and Spiritomb. I got interchangable pokemon for different situations like Roserade and Gliscor, but this team rips all the leaders and Elite Four to shreds
@LWKGD I have two, and I wouldn't use froslass in competitive, not fast enough. And if we're talking like actual in game multiplayer then there wouldn't be anything super effective on Spiritomb so really it's just one weakness on Froslass if I used them
Gastrodon is also a pretty powerful pokemon! I think he should've definitely been on this list!
the stats and ability on gastrodon is so bad ...83 attk 92 sp attk 39 speed ..maybe it can cause massive damage with an ice attack but definitely its going down before it could even pull its best move....4 1/2 resistance and 4x to grass....the only reason why it would it even make sense its because it could be tanky , learn ice beam and has substitute in its movepool...still it does not deserve to be in a top 10 spot where its overall stats is at 475 ....maybe if its a top 15 list then yea
@@lov.2.g I don't know but the 2 times that I've had him on my team he was really useful and could tank a lot of moves and it's hp stat is really good maybe that's why it can tank a lot of moves and I've been able to knock out Cynthia's garchomp with gastrodon the 2 times that I've used him!
The Kingdra disrespect
What happened to the sound at the end there?
I agree with you entirely on the list here. I've definitely used all of these once or twice in previous games and is only a matter of time until I breed them in this game around.
What about Pokemon like Mismagius, Electivire, Magmortar though? Breeding for a Mismagius right now myself. That Special Attack is deadly.
Hippowdon better be in this list. My favorite Pokémon.
The disrespect on my boy salamence is crazy
It dropped to UU
Sadly weavile can’t learn icicle crash yet. It’s only ice type physical move is ice shards. When home is introduced it will be able to, but as of now it has a lot less pressure than I could.
There’s sneasle in the underground who have it as an egg move. I have ice punch and throat chop on my weavile
@@isaiahgooden1705 really? Oh wow that’s really good to know! I didn’t know it could be learned as an egg move
Gliscor will always be my most favorite Pokemon from Sinnoh.
Hey mysticumbreon, I have a garchomp on my team but… I don’t know what moveset to give it I thought like earthquake, outrage and something else but what ?? Please tell me!
16:17 the theme fits the pokemon that's about to be shown
Verlisify: Garchomp isn’t that strong.
Shots fired!
That guy is a 🤡
@@jakeros4750 to be fair, he’s against cheating. Which is why he’s more legit than most people.
Plus, Smogon is just full of whiny people who can’t handle 200IQ plays so they ban them.
Dragonite is a must have
It’s true that Magic Guard is a good ability, BUT it’s also true that Clefable wasn’t a worthwhile choice UNTIL it got Unaware. Unaware is the ONE reason Clefable (and Quagsire) are good.
@LWKGD that is a non-seqitur
Cloyster is insanely op. 252 EVs on Atk and Spe. Use shell smash and he out speeds every single Pokémon. Along with max attack. Use icicle crash or rock blast. Along with skill link ability
PLEASE make sure he’s holding focus slash. If your opponent hits first you won’t die and you’ll be able to use shell smash and from there on it’s Gg.
I recommend ice shard as well, I used focus sash shell smash , with max attack and speed. Togekiss hit me first to 1hp. I used shell smash thinking I was in the clear, but then it used extreme speed and killed me.
But ice shard will attack it first over extreme speed because of your shell smash boost
@@THEEKANYEW3ST thats just one of the risk that comes with it. But one ice shard even with max attack won’t take out a tyranitar
@@Senju_Jason but t tar didn't learn extreme speed, so in that case I'd use icicle spear. Not sure if that would take it out either but would do more damage assuming it has skill link
Dragonite is always my best to use!
What’s your move set?
Where do you find him?
Wow another shock top 10. Keeps these coming!
I also think Scyther is really good. Mine destroyed Cynthia's entire team!
With a level 100 ?
@@milano8929 No, it was about level 70 or something with Swords Dance and other powerful moves.
Technician+STAB aerial ace is great as well. With STAB plus technician, aerial ace from tech sycther is hitting at 120 base power, along with always being guranteed to hit, being unaffected by accuracy drops
Ademant Skunktank do be a beast! Change my mind.
Been waiting for garchomp to be shown some love
Most of the Pokémon on this list are ones that are already available in sword and shield but I’m excited to use Gliscor again
Cynthia’s Garchomp back then was Scary in the Original Diamond & Pearl. Platinum had it 5 levels lower: Not as scary but be careful. Unova made scarier by a Level 77/78 Garchomp. Couldn’t reach her in the Battle Tree because of the Sheer Difficulty. Present Day with Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl: Take that same Garchomp & make it as strong as Red’s Pikachu in HG/SS & give it its Hidden Ability as well as Swords Dance = A Pokémon raised by a TRUE Champion!!
I miss when Pokémon didn’t have the fairy type 🥲
My team throughout the game was Raichu, Gyarados, Ponyta, Palkia/Alakazam, Torterra, Gardevoir.
@LWKGD I don't use Gardevoirs psychic moves. So that's why I replace Palkia with Alakazam sometimes. I don't really care about "cheating" lol Legendaries aren't all that strong.
@LWKGD a legendary Pokemon cannot solo the entire elite 4. PLEASE 🤣 especially not in BDSP and ehhh yeah that's the idea they sell but realistically there are non legends Pokemons that can kill legendary Pokemons pretty easy. I gave Alakazam as a replacement to Palkia for people who do care. I don't use psychic moves with Gardevoir. I only have Fairy and Dark moves with her so that's why I use Alakazam as my psychic Pokemon. Raichu and Ponyta are faster which is why I use them because with Thunder and Fire moves it's more important for me for them to be faster. Raichu dodges hits most of the time after using agility so I never have that problem. I beat the Elite Four and Cynthia with this team fairly easy. Also beat them again without Palkia. I think this team is a great if you know how to use them. Also beat the game without held items.
@LWKGD that's not what you said but either way this is not my team when I battle competively. Althought I have an won multiple times. It's really about knowing how to use your Pokemon rather than just using solely pokemon who have the best stats. This is just the team for my playthrough.
@LWKGD lmfao you didn't give me a video of anything. I don't really think you're really a good player tbh. You seem like you watch videos all day and just copy the pokemon with high stats. If you go to the Global room you'll see people who are actually good at battling. They use all types of pokemon that you think would be weak but they use them really well. I don't mind you sharing your view but I think its a bit amateur. I still stand by everything I said.
Fun fact: swimming is just flying in water and flying is just swimming in the air
Weakness policy on a multiscale dragonite is the way
D nite has always been a favorite for me
Cleffable can't learn Soft Boiled, that FRLG move only, so has to be transferred all the way up from gen 3.
I saw a rotom in the grand underground once when i was first starting and i was surprised because from what i knew it was a rare pokemom but new game whatever i didn’t pay it any mind and now i’m mad i have to level up a level 15 one
audio messed up a bit at 18:25
!st time someone actually had a prefect list and i agree
haven’t been this early ever
Not seeing gangar is a shock. Being ghost poison and a high speed Stat he has been a complete ace in battle tower
Many shocking pokes missing... Gastrodon, Gyarados, Breloom and Gengar would replace Weavile, Clefable, Magnezone and either Dragonite or Tyranitar for me.
The audio messed up right at the end
My final team was Torterra, Crobat, Gyarados, Electivire, Houndoom, and Gardevoir
Arcanine best fire. Not cause stats but it’s adorable
