ADV Raikou - Born too late to be a generation defining wall. Born too early for rash nature Aura Sphere to OHKO your Tyranitar. Born just in time to party in BL with the boys.
Raikou outside of GSC is one of those pokemon that has a small chance to rip your opponent to shreds without trying, or makes you play with 5 mons for no reason.
Hey BKC I've been play testing Nidoqueen in OU as of recent and been finding it pretty decent. I wanna read up your thoughts on that pokemon. I've been playing lots of standard mons to a point where I feel comfortable introducing cool ideas for gen 3. Others comment on this too to help out the algorithm :^) Nidoqueen. Leftovers Impish (+Def, -SpAtk) 192 HP / 128 Atk / 176 Def / 12 SpDef - Sludge Bomb - Earthquake - Protect - Thunderbolt / Ice Beam I designed this EV spread with the intent of surviving an Adamant Salamence/Metagross Earthquake while in pristine condition. It also survives Jolly Band Dugtrio with a 95.9% highest roll. The 128 attack EVs are in for always KOing Dugtrio with Earthquake and 1 layer spikes damage. The 12 EVs into Special Defence makes the Zapdos matchup even more easy with HP grass from Modest dealing 29.5% max while sludge bomb deals a good chunk back. Ice beam for Flygon / Salamence and Thunderbolt for not being walled by Skarmory while still hitting Starmie on the switch and Cloyster for over half damage. You can also run Shadow Ball for hitting Gengar. Nidoqueen is also best run with Tyranitar to provide Nidoqueen with more favourable matchups. Nidoqueen also blocks Toxic and Thunder Wave which is why I like it
Just from that title I'm curious since I think I remember you recently saying that Raikou wasn't that good anymore in ADV OU. HERE WE GO, MORE DELICIOUS NUTRITIOUS BKC CONTENT.
the roar set is very cool with p2! You can rip holes with Zap after you: trap Dug, bait out electric checks, and use your own dug on their special wall. Raikou+Zap=ElectricSpam?
20:35 thinking about the thought process behind this had me laughing. "What if we gave it maximum power. Just all the way, no holds barred, balls to the wall power.". That and my experience with Tar is gen 4+. So a special attack ohko'ing it in itself was immediately kinda funny to me.
I still don't get why use Raikou over Jolteon on any team if you don't have Calm Mind. Its faster and has volt absorb. Is it the slightly higher power of Raikou or its bulk?

is raikou even good in dpp?
@@tecul1 it's aight
@@tecul1 pretty good until you run into a Dugtrio lol
Duggy not banned in gen 4? Why??
@@tecul1 I’m having fun using scarf raikou in gen 4. Outspeeds most of the common scarfers, especially Flygon. Catches a lot of people by surprise

@Rayden Kasen tell the folks at home what a girlfriend is
Raikou is easily the second-best electric to rise to the forefront of OU in the past year.
Ikr right after Lanturn
Jolteon has similar and its own problems but I consider it better than Raikou.

LETS GO thank you so much man!

Me when bkc says raikou is on the rise and snorlax is in the decline: :grumpy tooty:

Raikou reSURGEnce i see whacha did there
Can you do Flygon in ADV. Next?
Its nice that this and forretress have rose over the past year
RISE OF FORRETRESS VIDEO PLEASE BKC
20:30 More like who knew you just needed to throw Toxic on it.
NICE VIDEO
Im just jammin' to Miror B's beats, man
Whats the music playing at 20:00? Pretty sure it isn't in the BGM playlist
it must be because that's what I was using. I add stuff to it a lot.
AYO BKC!! Long time

Mainly cause it hits harder (modest) as well marginally better bulk for an offensive mon
If u dont mind pokemon with 115+ speed, electric immunity, and not having baton pass raikou is just better jolteon
Like and comments are good for the youtube algorithm
Modest lead raikou is fire tho 👀
we got life orb nidoking out speed scarf landorus and kill it with ice beam
.... are you even watching the video
@@tecul1 i did
What does that even do to Mewtwo after Amnesia though? Gets in easy on the Teleport.
@@DiseasedMoss
Mewtwo is banned not even ou ubbers
@@yarc9 then what about mega slowbro after an amnesia? It tanks nidoking unless it rolls the 1/256
Because raikou can’t use hp ice too beat landorus anymore unless you give raikou weather ball he will be broken
landorous doesnt exist in Adv bro
@@natecarter3537 ok sword. & Sheild ou crown tundra
@@yarc9 is this video about sword and shield OU?
@@natecarter3537 no adv
