Wonder if you could somehow manipulate RNG in one of the more recent games to guarantee the result you want. Sounds like something fun, for someone else to figure out
@usernametaken017 You could, but I think the issue there is how tight it already was to get the order of move execution to enable over 300%. Trying to make it so that someone uses copycat directly after anyone used Ally Switch may mean the damaging move (on the turn for attack) wouldn't be able to trigger? (I'm not 100% on any of this though haha) That problem potentially fixable with Future Sight?? But I don't know for sure and it probably wouldn't take to 2hp again either hahah
wish was changed to work that way in gen 5, and I'm sorry to say, but throughout the entire video I was like "why is he using wish smeargle, it has like no hp"
Before watching, my first thought was a Vaporeon that had been passed Ingrain + Aqua Ring, using Wish + Baton Pass to bring a pre-poisoned Gliscor that'd been tricked Leftovers in on a False Swipe. Vaporeon's base 130 HP stat Wish would heal Gliscor a ton, and the passive recovery of Poison Heal, Ingrain, Aqua Ring, and Leftovers would easily get it from 1 HP to full. Double Healing Wish Ally Switch Eject Pack cycling strategery was not on my bingo card lmao
4:26 for those who want to know the difference lunar dance also restores the next pokemon's power points to full as well as health while healing wish only restores health (both cure status though) to full So you can miss 8 more fire blasts.
@@ChristmasPterodactyl Was mainly talking about what the move itself does not how it interacts with abilities of another pokemon though that is an interesting fact. I now know how to get rid of my opponent's Oricorio
Of all the Pokémon that learn the move Wish, Pichu has the smallest base HP stat. With 0 IVs or EVs in HP, Pichu has an HP stat of 11, which (depending on whether the game rounds healing up or down) would heal the Pokémon in that slot by only 5 or 6 HP. Alternatively, you could deal 1 HP of damage to a Pokémon holding a leftovers, but I think the Pichu strat is more fun.
I have a cursed suggestion. Psychic Noise would stop all healing for the Blissey for two turns, including passive methods, which might allow you to set up Leech Seed, Aqua Ring, and Ingrain for the end of the important turn, but stay at 1 hp at the beginning of the important turn.
headlong rush has also been common in smogon singles for all of gen 9. offensive Great Tusk sets use it, as well as a couple other mons like Ursaluna and i forget who else. still correct about EQ being like 70% of ground moves though lol
Everything else was arcane bullshit, but man Wish using the users' HP is like a core part of why it's so good; most of the pokemon notorious for using it have stellar HP stats and can fully heal your sweeper if they get stuffed
3 improvments that can be made 1. use assist to get around ally switch priority, this will clear up both blisseys item slot for the end of turn to allow for leftovers and an extra move 2. end of turn effects have priority, you can get around the healing from ingrain/aquaring/leftovers boosting blisseys hp above 1 the turn prior by having blissey be under the effect of toxic 3. you can increase the amount healed from wish by using a pokemon with a higher base hp, Wigglytuff is best since it has the highest hp stat
thinking about the first point further you can have blissey use metronome into ally switch instead to free up the partner pokemons attack, this would allow the partner to also attack blissey down to 2 hp allowing for a third healing wish/lunar dance (1 on the first tile and 2 stacked onto the second)
If I remember right, Ally Switch spam was a serious problem in VGC the previous generation which led to Protect-style restrictions on it due to it functioning along a similar axis in terms of preventing attacks.
11:41 See I've never actually played a Pokemon game, but I like hearing you talk about niche mechanics and also that you're Irish, and the more detail is interesting
This is the amount one pokemon can be healed by in one turn, not the amount one pokemon can heal in one turn. Back to the showdown dungeon with you. How much healing can one pokemon be responsible for in one turn
I think instruct + floral healing in grassy terrain and leftovers beats all the suggestions thus far. 75% per instruct and you can probably manage 2 instructs in a turn, coming out to 230%-ish. You can use follow me to redirect the healing target since floral healing is +3 priority
"Am I the only one who didn't know this?" Yes. one of the Huge upsides of wish is that its one of the few moves that can heal a pokemon for more than half its HP with no downsides. It's also why wish Chansey was so powerful when it existed. Edit: realize my lack of tone sounds a bit harsh. I just meant that yeah, it's pretty common knowledge if you're familiar with competitive, and it's really what makes the move unique
It’s funny that when he said, am I the only one that didn’t know this I was thinking yeah probably because I don’t really know all that much I see and somehow I don’t do that about wish blissey
However, there was a change to wish in gen V. gen IV wish always healed the recipient by 50% of it's own max hp. So, no he isn't losing his mind he just never played around with wish after the change.
Note: Blissey _can_ know Wish through a Gen 3 event Chansey, but since games from Gen 8 onwards reset your movesets on transfer, you can't use Wish on Blissey in the latest gen.
Those are 75 percents while the heals from lunar dance/healing wish are 100% and the wishes can actually heal more than 50% of the *target's* HP if the circumstances are right (something he didn't exploit in the video however)
If you give Blissey Strength Sap, you can make work with that. Have like 3 mons use Instruct on mons with high Attack boost and stats. Strength Sap: heals based off of target’s attack stat, so as long as that’s above 714 Atk you can keep healing. If you can somehow do Healing Wish, Lunar Dance, and then Strength Sap like 3 times that’s like 500% HP. BTW idk if this is possible or how it would work but it’s an idea!

The multiple Eject Button shenanigans actually has a niche application in singles of all places, because hitting an Eject Button will stop the switching part of U-turn and Volt Switch, granting the Eject Button user an advantageous switch.
I literally thought that’s how wish always worked. I had no idea that it ever based the wish amount off of the recipient’s HP. I thought it was ALWAYS the user’s HP. So we both learned something today
6:39 ally switch used to be pretty common move sense it essentially allows your pokemon to tank a resistant hit and fire back while not having to use protect. It is a bit prediction reliant sense obviously the opponent could easily use a different attack then what you were expecting or even outright call the ally switch but still opens up many mind games. The reason it is useful is unlike protect you can spam ally switch as many consecutive turns as you want or even not use it and have the opponent attack expecting ally switch. It's most feared user is Shedinja but anything that learns it is fair game.
@@lucasgreer1736 In that case why bother using it over protect. Why play mind games that could potentially go in your opponents favor when you can just take one free turn?
@@petelee2477 Because you can't protect and attack at the same time. The whole point of ally switch is you switch it so your frail hard hitting pokemon doesn't get hit and their ally pokemon gets hit instead. The real reason it doesn't see much use after the nerf is you'd rather just use follow me togaruantee the redirect rather thenrely on a 50/50.
it's worth noting that Synthesis, Morning Sun, and Moonlight aren't completely identical to Softboiled/recover, since the amount they recover is dependant on outside effects like weather and time of day. Not that it'd really play into the end result of the vid
it's incredible that you misunderstood wish this way (and apparently everyone else knew exactly how it worked) because my personal experience with wish was running it on umbreon in Gen 6 Showdown, where it always had a ton of HP compared to its team members, so I always thought until now that wish healed you up to full because I literally never ran into (or maybe just didn't notice) a situation where it didn't do this.
You got me XD I thought "It'll be interesting, but no way that'll be a big deal"...annnnd then it turns into a whole journey of its own. XD Great video!
Fun fact! I once lost a nuzlocke because I didn't realize that thing about two eject buttons. I had a very specific strategy that relied on getting to switch both pokemon out. All of that went out the window. I feel your pain.
The only other thing that I can think of that might help is that mega launcher boosts Heal Pulse from 50% to 75% but I don't know how to work that in, still good video!
Two ideas I had to potentially do more healing: • Gen 6, triple battles • Gens 7+, use Instruct to make Wish (or some other healing move) get used multiple times
I feel like there is a viable solution in rest < chesto berry < instruct < rest in order to get 2 100% heals instead of with a super convoluted healing wish set up. Actually, if you stacked both lunar dance and healing wish on the spot and did the eject pack looping after the double rest netting an easy 400% recovery. Set a wish on with blissey on the previous turn with copycat to get an extra 50% you can get put up to 450% + any end of turn effects set such as grassy terrain. Not sure how to precisely set it up tho and I'm not a youtuber with a massive following where I could earn money off a video dedicated to figuring it out.
I love finding new up and coming channels which go into some heavy academic topics to tackle goofy questions in a children's game Also 17:17 was just words for me. I'm just here for the vibes
Strength sap is also a thing, a move which can restore 100% hp and can be use several times per turn contrary to lunar dance. And it can even be bounced back by magic bounce so you can heal the opposite pokemon.
since blissey needs to switch in at the start of the turn theres no way to give it a different ability because all of the other pokemon on the field are using moves that arent skill swap already
To have blissy receive 3 healing wish, you can try to have some other pokemon self-ko with explode to bring it to 1 hp a third time, and then have it switched out by emergency exit to then switch into the explosion user. (After doing the healing wish + lunar dance receiving in 1 turn)
3:19, minor mistake here, as shown in the video, it doesnt heal 50% of the hp of the pokemon, it heals 50% of the hp of the pokemon using wish, thats why blissey only healed 20%, because blissey has an enormous hp stat whilst smeargle's isnt too great. explaining for those who don't know. next vid: what is the most moves in one turn in pokemon edit: me after commenting something before watching the rest of the video, explaining this for people who read comments before finishing the rest of the vid (me and only me)
14:17 Only thing I can think of is a spread move that hits everyone ie earthquake so whoever's faster gets to switch out when mons on both sides of the field have eject buttons, but I can't imagine it ever coming up
Love the vids! Possible ideas for getting a bit more healing: 1. Could a higher HP wisher take the spot of the Smeargle? Farigiraf is the highest HP mon that learns Ally Switch in gen 9, and conveniently also learns Wish and Skill Swap 2. I think using a Grassy Surge mon instead of the Magikarp would still be helpful since it would only heal after the Healing Wish and Lunar dance activated Edit: Wondering if it would be possible to just use the highest HP wisher in Gen 9, Alomomola. You'd need to have it Eject Pack out right after the Wish into an Ally Switcher that gets Hospitality Skill Swapped onto it that turn, but I think that works?
I love those sorting videos. I originally put them on as background but ended up being too mesmerized. I can actually pay attention to them, unlike almost anything else. (Ig besides other math and CS...)
6 max-HP pokemon, faint five, drop last one to 1 HP, then use Sacred Ash, healing for 599% (Being silly, as I'm assuming the use of non-held items seems to be an unstated assumption)
Ok so at 17:16 I think you could technically use a floating Pokémon (maybe with telekinesis or something) with the move Gravity to maybe get grassy terrain healing, but that would be stupid and probably mess everything up but it is technically some way to overcome that dilemma in theory if not in practice
Wish has worked that way since Gen V and despite you saying it "only" heals for half the user's HP, it was a *buff* not a nerf to Wish. This way a bulky support pokemon like Alomomola can heal a squishy attacker like Weavile for way more than half Weavile's HP. Blissey doesn't get it because that would be stupid broken but many other support pokemon do.
I think you kind of missed one point on that one. During all the video you've been mentioning percentages of HP, not absolute HP. If you're working with % recovery, you don't need a blissey for this trick, maybe even a Lv1 sturdy Aron with possible berry juice equipped (100% extra recovery) Leech seed works removing 1/8 of affected pkmn HP and adding it to the receiving pokemon, and not adding 1/8 of the user HP. It's better that way to seed an enemy blissey than any other one, and even better if your max HP is lower than the sapped amount (it fully heals you from 1HP) Also... this seed does not work at the end of the turn (with 25% of blissey available to recover)? And depending on the other of damage applied, black sludge or sticky barb may be useful for more end of turn HP recovery Just brainstorming here 😊
Actually for % recovery you still want a Blissey; a 10 HP Pokémon can only heal 90% of its HP at once compared to a 100 HP Pokémon which can heal 99% of its HP at once and Blissey can do even better.
Re: Wish, I noticed you said 50% originally and just assumed you were simplifying. Then got to the end and realized you didn't know this. It's one of the reasons only specific mons were/are used as clerics in competitive. In addition to knowing wish and either aroma therapy/heal bell, they'll usually be something with a huge HP stat like Blissey, alomomola, or vaporeon as they will pass more health to whatever you switch into than any other mon, so especially if you pass to a low hp mon you can easily heal them to full Also, not to cause you more headaches, but does regenerator interact meaningully with your ejecting loops? Would having a regenerator blissey be looped increase the total healing?

it's incredible that you misunderstood wish this way (and apparently everyone else knew exactly how it worked) because my personal experience with wish was running it on umbreon in Gen 6 Showdown, where it always had a ton of HP compared to its team members, so I always thought until now that wish healed you up to full because I literally never ran into (or maybe just didn't notice) a situation where it didn't do this.
Full Revive.
A full restore can take the debuff off and fully heal. What it cant do is wake a fainted pokemon up.
You got me XD I thought "It'll be interesting, but no way that'll be a big deal"...annnnd then it turns into a whole journey of its own. XD Great video!
Fun fact! I once lost a nuzlocke because I didn't realize that thing about two eject buttons. I had a very specific strategy that relied on getting to switch both pokemon out. All of that went out the window. I feel your pain.
The only other thing that I can think of that might help is that mega launcher boosts Heal Pulse from 50% to 75% but I don't know how to work that in, still good video!
15:40 love the mario & sonic at the olympic games background music
Before watching this video I thought that 100% healing was the most healing you could do.
I love seeing your process! The pain I felt at you not realizing ally switch was priority was palpable.
Two ideas I had to potentially do more healing:
• Gen 6, triple battles
• Gens 7+, use Instruct to make Wish (or some other healing move) get used multiple times
I feel like there is a viable solution in rest < chesto berry < instruct < rest in order to get 2 100% heals instead of with a super convoluted healing wish set up. Actually, if you stacked both lunar dance and healing wish on the spot and did the eject pack looping after the double rest netting an easy 400% recovery. Set a wish on with blissey on the previous turn with copycat to get an extra 50% you can get put up to 450% + any end of turn effects set such as grassy terrain. Not sure how to precisely set it up tho and I'm not a youtuber with a massive following where I could earn money off a video dedicated to figuring it out.
no need to promise, just the premise is interesting all on its own!
I love finding new up and coming channels which go into some heavy academic topics to tackle goofy questions in a children's game
Also 17:17 was just words for me. I'm just here for the vibes
Kinda weird that rest didn't get a mention, was waiting for it to pop up
Strength sap is also a thing, a move which can restore 100% hp and can be use several times per turn contrary to lunar dance. And it can even be bounced back by magic bounce so you can heal the opposite pokemon.
I was really hoping the clawitzer healing pulse tech would be used :(
My favorite support Pokémon 😢
"seeya in the next video, and, sta-"
I’m in the middle of watching so this may be unneeded, but the ability Rain dish also heals 1/16 a turn in rain
i was thinking this too, or putting an ability like water absorb and hitting with a very strong water move could prove fruitful
If you're swapping an ability onto the healing recipient, poison heal would be better
since blissey needs to switch in at the start of the turn theres no way to give it a different ability because all of the other pokemon on the field are using moves that arent skill swap already
@@wroometh9208water absorb only heals by a fixed amount
6:35 WeedleTwinneedle. They've used Healing Wishes mechanics effectively in their competitive battle videos for years now
Rest also heals you to 100%
imagine watching that turn play on pokemon diamond
4:27 Lunar Dance also restores PP which Healing Wish don't
However, unlike Healing Wish, you can't store Lunar Dance
these videos really heal something in me that i've been missing about Unraveleds. absolutely obsessed, thank you
To have blissy receive 3 healing wish, you can try to have some other pokemon self-ko with explode to bring it to 1 hp a third time, and then have it switched out by emergency exit to then switch into the explosion user. (After doing the healing wish + lunar dance receiving in 1 turn)
Did they forget rest also heals you to full?
Was gonna make the same comment!
7:20 The game devs are like "fuck this person in particular."
Tripp from Facade has a mental breakdown over pokemon mechanics
Ohhhhhh I can't un hear it now 😂😂😂
3:19, minor mistake here, as shown in the video, it doesnt heal 50% of the hp of the pokemon, it heals 50% of the hp of the pokemon using wish, thats why blissey only healed 20%, because blissey has an enormous hp stat whilst smeargle's isnt too great. explaining for those who don't know.
next vid: what is the most moves in one turn in pokemon
edit: me after commenting something before watching the rest of the video, explaining this for people who read comments before finishing the rest of the vid (me and only me)
the physical comedy of the 3 at 1:30 really sent me for some reason lol
14:17 Only thing I can think of is a spread move that hits everyone ie earthquake so whoever's faster gets to switch out when mons on both sides of the field have eject buttons, but I can't imagine it ever coming up
Love the vids! Possible ideas for getting a bit more healing:
1. Could a higher HP wisher take the spot of the Smeargle? Farigiraf is the highest HP mon that learns Ally Switch in gen 9, and conveniently also learns Wish and Skill Swap
2. I think using a Grassy Surge mon instead of the Magikarp would still be helpful since it would only heal after the Healing Wish and Lunar dance activated
Edit: Wondering if it would be possible to just use the highest HP wisher in Gen 9, Alomomola. You'd need to have it Eject Pack out right after the Wish into an Ally Switcher that gets Hospitality Skill Swapped onto it that turn, but I think that works?
Came to say the same about grassy surge
I love those sorting videos. I originally put them on as background but ended up being too mesmerized. I can actually pay attention to them, unlike almost anything else. (Ig besides other math and CS...)
What if instead of a Magikarp you use a Grookey to set up grassy terrain 🤓☝️
i would not have the patience to do this, its honestly kinda impressive that you put up with this much work
the real most healing is the mechanics we made along the way
you can increse the amount of healing wish does by replacing jirachi with a wigglytuff since it has a higher hp stat
Great humour, funny and informative video and the editing is also really great. Also respect for the dedication!
Hey, Leech Seed tranfers 12% of the affected pokemon’s hp. You need another blissey to maximize that
Hey man just wanted to say thanks for the videos, you put in lots of effort and I’m sure and hope your channel grows more!
HE'S BACK, LET'S GO GAMBLING!
6 max-HP pokemon, faint five, drop last one to 1 HP, then use Sacred Ash, healing for 599%
(Being silly, as I'm assuming the use of non-held items seems to be an unstated assumption)
Heal pulse can be given a 1.5 x boost by claunchers ability. Making it a 75% heal.
this thumbnail was very good, the title alone wouldn’t have got me. this was indeed an interesting video !!
It may not actually improve the setup but the fact that the move rest isnt even mentioned in this video is kinda crazy to me
Rest is probably to slow and/or too clunky to use.
And if you use Chesto Berry, you're not able to use Eject Button and/or Eject Pack.
What is the least possible, positive non zero amount of healing you can do in one move?
Ok so at 17:16 I think you could technically use a floating Pokémon (maybe with telekinesis or something) with the move Gravity to maybe get grassy terrain healing, but that would be stupid and probably mess everything up but it is technically some way to overcome that dilemma in theory if not in practice
You shouldve helping handed a heal pulse
Super enjoyable video, very much enjoy the deep dive into the details.
Healing is by definition negative damage
Placing a guess now before I watch: Focus Sash + Rest on a max HP Blissey.
EDIT: what. what was any of that. do you need help king
I wonder what is the most HP one Pokémon can regain on the first move of a doubles battle
Yeah man, the process is half the content in this case. Very happy to see more of the process and madness, lol.
That technicality with Wish is funny because I noticed it in one of the clips at the start.
Dude the earthquake thing just got me recently too!!! I had no idea!!! Interesting terrain tech confirmed???
Wish has worked that way since Gen V and despite you saying it "only" heals for half the user's HP, it was a *buff* not a nerf to Wish. This way a bulky support pokemon like Alomomola can heal a squishy attacker like Weavile for way more than half Weavile's HP. Blissey doesn't get it because that would be stupid broken but many other support pokemon do.
I think you kind of missed one point on that one. During all the video you've been mentioning percentages of HP, not absolute HP. If you're working with % recovery, you don't need a blissey for this trick, maybe even a Lv1 sturdy Aron with possible berry juice equipped (100% extra recovery)
Leech seed works removing 1/8 of affected pkmn HP and adding it to the receiving pokemon, and not adding 1/8 of the user HP. It's better that way to seed an enemy blissey than any other one, and even better if your max HP is lower than the sapped amount (it fully heals you from 1HP)
Also... this seed does not work at the end of the turn (with 25% of blissey available to recover)?
And depending on the other of damage applied, black sludge or sticky barb may be useful for more end of turn HP recovery
Just brainstorming here 😊
Actually for % recovery you still want a Blissey; a 10 HP Pokémon can only heal 90% of its HP at once compared to a 100 HP Pokémon which can heal 99% of its HP at once and Blissey can do even better.
Editing is far and above a lot of similar videos I see, great job!
Re: Wish, I noticed you said 50% originally and just assumed you were simplifying. Then got to the end and realized you didn't know this. It's one of the reasons only specific mons were/are used as clerics in competitive. In addition to knowing wish and either aroma therapy/heal bell, they'll usually be something with a huge HP stat like Blissey, alomomola, or vaporeon as they will pass more health to whatever you switch into than any other mon, so especially if you pass to a low hp mon you can easily heal them to full
Also, not to cause you more headaches, but does regenerator interact meaningully with your ejecting loops? Would having a regenerator blissey be looped increase the total healing?
To be fair, if he is just a mostly older gen player then his confusion makes sense. Wish was changed in Gen 5.
This was wild
I was expecting endeavor to reduce hp without blissed losing Def or spec Def
Ally switch was nerfed since it was so anoying with shedinsha in restricted double formats.
Now, what’s the most damage you can do in a single attack?
Honestly i do actually really like this more in depth explanation of the process
