How about SINCE it's a game where type advantage is literally not a thing Because the candies make your Pokemon literally God's you made two pointless videos and a collaboration on games that are the players choice so they don't watch videos like this because game freak wants everyone to make their own strategies
Reagan’s awesome Vlogs Zippy zap has 75 power cause it’s always a crit. Zippy zap is also a physical. Thunderbolt has 90 power and 100% accuracy. Thunderbolt is also a special. Thunderbolt is just a better move overall.
OHBOY!PRODUCTIONS well thunderbolt is still stronger well it isn’t for me it it beat a kangasaun with one hit and thunder bolt did only a quarter Of damage
hey man i've got a question is it good to have a dodrio instead of snorlax and if so is it found late in the game? also what about blastoise instead of starmie
CoolinDude critical hits only deal 1.5x damage. Overall Zippy Zap is still weaker than thunderbolt. Priority doesn’t matter since partner pikachu got a major buff in speed
@@penoypower But Pikachu's Physical Attack is better than its Special. I say that both can work well though depending if you're fighting a Physical Defensive, or Special Defensive pokemon. I think my moveset would be: Thunderbolt Splishy Splash Floaty Fall/Dig Zippy Zap
Zippy Zap would be better if your Pikachu happens to have a nature that either decreases special attack or increases physical attack as that would make up for the difference in power between the two moves, not that it's really that big of a deal considering how easy the games are but if we're talking about the best possible move then that would be a factor
Snivy, oshowatt, Tepig, Chespin, Fennikin, Rowlett, Litten 4 of these have to get two vids due to games (Snivy, Oshowatt, Rowlett and Litten) (Snivy for B/W2 Oshowatt for B/W Tepig for B/W2) No rush Mystic, just the ones that haven't been done yet.
Hes probably gonna pick Litten alongside Venusaur by Island Scan as both Incineroar and it have amazing synergy. Plus theres bewear who is so underrated, mudsdlae who is god and the underrated ribombee
For those who want to be quick… Pikachu: Thunderbolt (level 21), Floaty Fall (move tutor), Splishy Splash (move tutor), Iron Tail (TM19) Nidoking: Poison Sting (level 6) replace with Poison Jab (TM26), Dig (TM10) replace with Drill Run (TM58) replace with Earthquake (TM41), Thunderbolt (TM36), Ice Beam (TM55) Arcanine: Ember (level 3 only as Growlith) rplace with Flamethrower (level 17 only as Growlith), Crunch (level 28 only as Growlith), Dig (TM10) replace with Play Rough (TM44), Iron Tail (TM19) replace with Superpower (TM49) Snorlax: Headbutt (level 26) replace with Body Slam (level 52), Brick Break (TM13), Fire Punch (TM31), Ice Punch (TM35) Scyther: X-Scissor (TM24), Wing Attack (level 16), Brick Break (TM13), Slash (level 26) replace with Swords Dance (level 44) Starmie: Moves: Scald (TM29), Psychic (level 36 only as Staryu), Thunderbolt (TM36), Ice Beam (TM55)
my favorite team member is between Arcanine, Starmie, and Pikachu. Pikachu is so OP, I never used another pokemon in the early game. Arcanine is OP and really reliable. Also fast in the overworld Starmie was OP.
thx, this helped a lot. I was using a PokemonGO "mentality" and ended up with Alakazam, Gyarados, and Gengar instead of Scyther, Snorlax, and Starmie (other 3 were the same). My concern was Mega-Evolutions, using my favorites from the mobile game I xferred over, and covering all bases. But your thought process and research into NPC battles was thought provoking and made more sense in the long run. Keep up the good work!
"I think this is like the fifth time I've said something like this, and I'll continue to do it until Nidoking isn't in the game anymore." Thanks, Mystic :p
My team for Let's Go Pikachu: Livewire the Pikachu Bruteroot the Venusaur Trogdor the Charizard Shellshocker the Blastoise Arthur the Nidoking Pennywise the Mr. Mime
I haven’t beaten the game, but by the 5th gym, I have Itsu the Pikachu, Burney the Charizard Leafy the Ivysaur Chompy the Gyrados Sleepy the Snorlax And lastly, Kicky the Hitmonlee
Why use Thunderbolt for Pikachu when you can just use Zippy Zap and Pika Papow? Zippy Zap gives an extremely strong, STAB priority attack on the physical side and Pika Papow covers the special side without taking up a move slot and is stronger than Thunderbolt.
I agree! And Pika papow is pikachus sure hit move, so it will also never miss. And zippy zap is super powerful, always goes first, and had a chance of paralyzing your opponent.
going to be honest, i was upset to see my girlfriend got me lets go pikachu instead of eevee (did not say anything to her) but in this pikachu is a freaking powerhouse!!! he dominates as an electric type
With nidoking you can actually catch nidoran later at route10 and evolve it to 2nd stage at around 22-23 and it learns poisonjab much earlier into the game than with TM or lv39
You can get flamethrower TM pretty early as well. As soon as you clear out the game corner and ghost tower, you should have access to the Silph Co building and you can skip to the floor with the card key then go to one of the top floor rooms and unlock the one of the doors to get flamethrower TM. Takes a little work, but is worth it if you want early access to a good fire move 👍🏽
I used the following team: - Pikachu - Venusaur - Arcanine - Polywrath - Scyther - Rhydon A bit on the physical side, but besides that nicely balanced and uses a few of the coolest pokemon from this gen. (Scyther, Rhydon and Polywrath)
Personally I used alolan Raticate for physic types until I was able to get an alolan grinder/muk which is an amazing counter and good Pokemon overall. I'd say it's a better choice. Glad you mentioned it.
Great video. Just a couple things. First you said to evolve Growlithe at lvl 28 before it learns Play Rough but did not state where else to get it (house on roof of condos accessed from the back). Second you forgot to mention TM40 for Psychic at Mr Psychic's house if a player doesn't have Staryu at lvl 36 yet or if you evolved it right away.
MysticUmbreon: Pikachu isn't nearly as good as Eevee... Me: Pikachu lost by three f***ing points to Eevee, and the only reason he lost was because of some of the ridiculous move choices for Pikachu.
@@Leynirp Wow, thanks for the helpful reasoning and logic, but Pikachu could have easily won if A) you teach Pikachu brick break instead of iron tail, B) if they'd actually taken into account how good Pikachu is against a lot of the trainers, specifically the abundance of trainers using water and flying type pokemon (also, you may argue that Eevee has buzzy buzz but no one wants to teach Eevee moves before every other fight), and C) they evaluated them both based on if you were to only use that specific pokemon, which no one casually playing through the game would do. But, yeah, you're probably right, Eevee is still better for the simple reason that Pikachu is "overrated". Oh, and also, move pools aren't that important when you can't have eight moves at once, it's better to, I don't know, have four really good moves? Just guessing. Oh, yeah, why are you watching this video if Pikachu is so overrated and Eevee is better?
I know it's basic, but Pikachu is one of my favorites, if not the favorite. Watching Ash bond with his pikachu as a kid really made me wish I had one. I recently got back into the anime and dammit I still want a pikachu.
@@artemiscain9826 Yah it was the aniversary of pokemon so gigantamax pikachu were more common I joined someone's server and they found a shiny and in spite of the odds limiting my chance of catching it I caught it (somehow)
SolusSylvari plus all elemental punches are gotten much sooner than ice beam. If one is willing to grind growlithe until it gets flare blitz because Arcanine's attack is 5 pts higher you can just give nidoking his physical moves. This isn't FR/LG anymore and Sheer force isn't a thing after all
@@amazingspidermew I dont give Arcanine Flare blitz, I run a Modest or Timid nature and use Flamethrower, or i use a neutral nature and use a mix of physical and special attacks. With the loss of Morning sun flare blitz just isnt worth it imo. Its great on Mega Charizard X though with access to Roost.
@@aBatwoman I meant Thunder Punch, and the whole point of my comment is the fact that the two punch moves are stronger than Ice Beam and Thunderbolt on Nidoking due to his increased attack stat and lower Special attack stat.
@THE OFFICIAL Meloetta Channel No matter the gen i would still recommend getting physical moves on Nidoking. His attack stat is higher and there is a much greater effect to damage by boosting Attack rather than getting Special attack to catch up to it. If Special Attack and Attack were closer like they are on Arcanine then i'd say sure.. boost the Special attack and run a mixed set.
every time i whatch lets go my soul shatters because i simply love the graphics and everything about it, the sooner i get a switch (the switch im getting has pikachu pre-installed and comes with pokeball plus) the better
Coincidentally I’m using 4 of the Pokemon you have selected, Pikachu, Nidoking, Arcanine and Snorlax. I am also using Laura’s and I’m yet to catch a Mewtwo. The move sets you’ve chosen for them will help out massively 😄
I think I know why everyone thinks let’s go was so easy you get moves like thunderbolt and flamethrower ridiculously early in b2 and w2 growlithe learns flamethrower at level 34!
My team was my starter Pikachu, Pidgeot, Nidoking, Venusaur, Rapidash and Gyarados, I beat the game with that team and it was so dang fun, now I'm going back to beat the gyms for a second time, but this time I'm getting the shiny versions of every pokemon on my team. So far I have my Pikachu but since it's not the starter I evolved it, I also have my Nidoking, Pidgeot and Venusaur, currently going for Magikarp to get the Gyarados and I'm going for Ponyta last because it's easy to catch and when you hit excellents and quick throws you get a TON of XP which is nice for Gyarados because of it's slow level up. All in all i love this game and I'm using every excuse I can to keep playing, even if I beat the game in only 20 hours 😂
Just watched this 4 years later. Just bought LGP a couple days ago. I just got to snorlax and am resetting lol. Tired of using normals. 4 mains, pidgeot, and kadabra... need something new. Bam here it is. Possibly start over tonight. Love it 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Thanks for making this! I started LGP for my first play through. I haven't thought of using Nidoking, Scyther nor Starmie on my main team, instead focusing on all the "classic" Kanto starters, but I do notice not being able to sweep some of the Team Rocket match ups. I'll rework my team once I have all 3 starters evolved. I may even consider importing Alakazam via Go Park. Also there are only 5 Pokemon in this vid. I assume you want to keep Venusaur for the grass coverage since you raved about it in the Eevee Vid. :)
There are technically 7 Pokémon in this vid Pikachu, snorelax, alakazam, starmie, scyther, arcanine, and nidoking He goes over all the move sets of them
I have spent 2 - 3 hours trying to get Scyther with a catch combo. I some how got a shiny Oddish while I was trying to get Scyther so it was worth the wait, but I CANT GET SCYTHER AT ALL. I have Scyther, but it doesn't have good stats.
Overused? Yes. Basic? Not at all. There's a reason people use it soo much. Covers most types and powerful as fuck. Also kind of like a throw back to Ash's and Red's team.
Royce Fernandes yeah that what I based it on, what I would think a champion team would be. The three starters, a raichu(but Pikachu is good in this game) a dragonite and a snorlax. Personally I would replace Red’s Lapras with a dragonite, and Pikachu with a raichu.
The Lytz yea you’re right but you rarely ever have an option to use all three starters in a game, for my second run I’m not going to use the starters, or dragonite and snorlax
I used the same team I always have. This time however, instead of Iron Tail for my little buddy, she got both Rock and Ground coverage with Splishy Splash. Here was my line-up and moves Sparkles (Pikachu): Thunderbolt Zippy Zap Splishy Splash Quick Attack Mandy (Muk {Alola}): Sludge Bomb Poison Jab Dark Pulse Hyper Bean Dragoness (Dragonite): Outrage Fly Ice Beam Surf Blossom (Venusaur {Mega}): Solar Beam Razor Leaf Vine Whip Leech Seed Rainbow Dash (Charizard {X Mega}) Flamethrower Fly Outrage Slash Venus (Blastoise {Mega}): Hydro Pump Ice Beam Dark Pulse Brick Break
I think that Superpower on Arcanine isn't a move to really use because of one, it lowers Attack and Defense, two, you have to wait til victory road to get the TM since Arcanine can't learn it via level up and three, Arcanine is known for phyiscal attack than special.
One thing I would like to say is: if I’m being honest I think using the nit best Pokemon isn’t bad it just adds more fun! as it’s actually a challenge SL I don’t think that you should try to make a best team just a team you feel like you’ll enjoy! and I understand this is just a video for the people who find this game hard and I don’t have a problem with that!
This is 4/6 the team I wanted to run anyway, I really wanted Rapadash and my first favorite Pokemon Celfeiry. So with me naming all my pokemon after food in let's go we have Muffin, Jelly, Coffie, Coey, Sushi, and Taffy.
I think fire punch should be replaced by earthquake for snorlax because ice punch and brick break already covers any thing fire is good for (except bug), but earthquake adds even more coverage.
My team again is currently and the reasons I have them 1. Mewtwo: it’s mewtwo need I say more 2. Mew: I got it with pokeball plus so why not? 3. Venasaur: caught it in veridian forest so why not a starter 4. Eevee: my starter 5. Aerodactyl: I need a Pokémon to fly 6. Articuno; I need a legendary
Thanks for the video. I know that Eevee is better, but Pikachu is my favorite Pokémon, and since that means I will get let’s go Pikachu, I just wanted your opinion on what kind of team would be best for my playthrough. Again, thanks for the video!
So my brother and I got a literal huge story mix up. First, we went to challenge Koga AFTER we finished up team rocket. Then, we traveled to seafoam islands to try and find cinnabar to challenge the gym, not realizing you need to challenge Sabrina first.(we also caught an articuno in the process) so um yeah
Outrage is not that good, you should dragon breath on something like a dragonite, because outrage acts as a sticky web because you cannot change pokemon plus you get confused
My kanto team in red was Charizard, Vileplume, Lapras, Nidoking, Raichu and Mew. And yes i did the Mew glitch, but this time i have the pokeball+ so i can get Mew legit. I plan on using this team in Lets go Pikachu, exept for the Raichu being pikachu this time. What do you guys think about it?
Hey Mystic nice video. But I have a question. I want to use Gengar, he's one of my all time favorites and a staple, can you suggest a moveset and who I should replace on this team for him? Sorry if this was already asked I didn't see it.
I mean preeeeeeeeeeety sure all the gen 1 pokemon are gonna be in it. Cause the pokemon company has sure milked gen one so much that it would shock me that they arn't in it.
nope so far there was only like around- check serebii.net they see what pokemon was encountered or seen in the overworld. I think there is less than you think
Nidoqueen has more Defence, Sp Defence and HP while Nidoking has more Attack, Sp Attack and Speed. Nidoqueen is a good tank and Nidoking is a good sweeper. And yes Nidoqueen can learn all the TM moves that Nidoking would learn in this team.
My team in lets go pikachu so far: pikachu, kadabra, haunter, gyarados, arcanine and snorlax. I hope too evolve haunter and kadabra soon if i find someone too trade with.
My current team is as follows: Charizard Venusaur Onix Pikachu Blastoise Machamp I'm gonna try to beat the game with them but I might also start over to give this team a shot.
I'm loving your vids so far, but i still have to get the game tho lol. It's been a long time since i played a Pokémon game, there is a lot to catch up.
Unpopular (possibly offensive) opinion: No Offense to Nidoking fans (i actually like it) but i feel like it's overrated. Like Horn Drill and X accuracy's a thing but that's pretty much the end of it's greatness. Maybe it's just me, but i don't like it's "great" stats. And Nidoqueen also feels a bit too left out due to her counterpart. And obviously no one cares.
Yea hRhydon is so much better. much higher stats, Earthquake and Rockslide STAB. amazing defenses, it can also learn Poison Jab for coverage, and Rhyhorn can be caught in Rock Tunnel. Just catch a dugtrio for Surge, then replace it with Rhyhorn and never look back.
So use dazzling gleam instead of thunderbolt for Alakazam. Sorry for the error.
STILL HERE FOR THE HOES
Y Can't U Get Trade Evolutions?

Can you beat the game with just these Pokémon and these moves? At least the gyms
hey man i've got a question is it good to have a dodrio instead of snorlax and if so is it found late in the game?
also what about blastoise instead of starmie
I think for Pikachu’s moveset: Zippy Zap would work better than Thunderbolt since it always results in a Critical Hit and always goes first.
CoolinDude critical hits only deal 1.5x damage. Overall Zippy Zap is still weaker than thunderbolt. Priority doesn’t matter since partner pikachu got a major buff in speed
penoypower good point, I guess I just like to be reassured that my move will go first with a combo of priority and an OP speed stat
Pikachu has higher physical attack though.
@@penoypower But Pikachu's Physical Attack is better than its Special. I say that both can work well though depending if you're fighting a Physical Defensive, or Special Defensive pokemon. I think my moveset would be:
Thunderbolt
Splishy Splash

Zippy Zap would be better if your Pikachu happens to have a nature that either decreases special attack or increases physical attack as that would make up for the difference in power between the two moves, not that it's really that big of a deal considering how easy the games are but if we're talking about the best possible move then that would be a factor

Charizard
Vaporeon
Nidoking
Pidgeot (shiny)
Snorlax
Thunderbolt: *exists*

You can get flamethrower TM pretty early as well.

There is a work around for Charizard and Flamethrower: Don't evolve Charmeleon until after it learns Flamethrower.
I just use the flamethrower tm
you dont really have a choice- charmelon evolves by level not stone

@@Leynirp Wow, thanks for the helpful reasoning and logic, but Pikachu could have easily won if A) you teach Pikachu brick break instead of iron tail, B) if they'd actually taken into account how good Pikachu is against a lot of the trainers, specifically the abundance of trainers using water and flying type pokemon (also, you may argue that Eevee has buzzy buzz but no one wants to teach Eevee moves before every other fight), and C) they evaluated them both based on if you were to only use that specific pokemon, which no one casually playing through the game would do. But, yeah, you're probably right, Eevee is still better for the simple reason that Pikachu is "overrated". Oh, and also, move pools aren't that important when you can't have eight moves at once, it's better to, I don't know, have four really good moves? Just guessing. Oh, yeah, why are you watching this video if Pikachu is so overrated and Eevee is better?
Gd appleBerry shut up
@@Leynirp yap
@challiday Unknown u r rong
Its obvious Its ofc 6 Magikarp Team
all 4 moves for each one using splash
No joke. I'm getting Let's Go Pikachu for Christmas and was brainstorming a team. These exact 6 pokemon came to mind, I just had worse movesets.
Wow that’s cool-
it would've been cooler if they made it so that Pikachu has the same BST as Raichu just in this game
I know it's basic, but Pikachu is one of my favorites, if not the favorite. Watching Ash bond with his pikachu as a kid really made me wish I had one. I recently got back into the anime and dammit I still want a pikachu.
I have a shiny gigantamax pikachu in sword gave him thunderbolt grass knot brick break and iron tail
@@joenavy6859 I literally forgot I made this comment but wow your pikachu sounds cool :0
@@artemiscain9826 Yah it was the aniversary of pokemon so gigantamax pikachu were more common I joined someone's server and they found a shiny and in spite of the odds limiting my chance of catching it I caught it (somehow)
Something seems wrong here, why aren’t there three vileplumes forming a squad called the vile pile all named Blimey, Slimey, and Carl?
Pikatube AYeEEe :)
Lmao, everyone loves Alpha
Miwp Alphaaaaa*
Who wants to see a play through with him using these teams
Sounds cool man.
„Get them before they go back to the North Pole!“
*puts it on Christmas list so Santa gets me one*
Why teach Nidoking Icebeam and Thunderbolt. If you aim for a attack boosting nature, you're better off with Thunder and Ice Punch instead.
SolusSylvari plus all elemental punches are gotten much sooner than ice beam. If one is willing to grind growlithe until it gets flare blitz because Arcanine's attack is 5 pts higher you can just give nidoking his physical moves. This isn't FR/LG anymore and Sheer force isn't a thing after all
@@amazingspidermew I dont give Arcanine Flare blitz, I run a Modest or Timid nature and use Flamethrower, or i use a neutral nature and use a mix of physical and special attacks. With the loss of Morning sun flare blitz just isnt worth it imo. Its great on Mega Charizard X though with access to Roost.
Thunder is a hit and miss I'd rather use something that can always hit like thunderbolt. Ice beam is stronger than ice punch.
@@aBatwoman I meant Thunder Punch, and the whole point of my comment is the fact that the two punch moves are stronger than Ice Beam and Thunderbolt on Nidoking due to his increased attack stat and lower Special attack stat.
@THE OFFICIAL Meloetta Channel No matter the gen i would still recommend getting physical moves on Nidoking. His attack stat is higher and there is a much greater effect to damage by boosting Attack rather than getting Special attack to catch up to it. If Special Attack and Attack were closer like they are on Arcanine then i'd say sure.. boost the Special attack and run a mixed set.
every time i whatch lets go my soul shatters because i simply love the graphics and everything about it, the sooner i get a switch (the switch im getting has pikachu pre-installed and comes with pokeball plus) the better
Coincidentally I’m using 4 of the Pokemon you have selected, Pikachu, Nidoking, Arcanine and Snorlax. I am also using Laura’s and I’m yet to catch a Mewtwo. The move sets you’ve chosen for them will help out massively 😄
I think I know why everyone thinks let’s go was so easy you get moves like thunderbolt and flamethrower ridiculously early in b2 and w2 growlithe learns flamethrower at level 34!
U get flamethrower right outside victory road and thunderbolt right before the e4 so I don’t think it’s early in black and white 2
My team was my starter Pikachu, Pidgeot, Nidoking, Venusaur, Rapidash and Gyarados, I beat the game with that team and it was so dang fun, now I'm going back to beat the gyms for a second time, but this time I'm getting the shiny versions of every pokemon on my team. So far I have my Pikachu but since it's not the starter I evolved it, I also have my Nidoking, Pidgeot and Venusaur, currently going for Magikarp to get the Gyarados and I'm going for Ponyta last because it's easy to catch and when you hit excellents and quick throws you get a TON of XP which is nice for Gyarados because of it's slow level up. All in all i love this game and I'm using every excuse I can to keep playing, even if I beat the game in only 20 hours 😂
Late to comment but I just wanna share my team
Pikachu
Pidgeot (Shiny)
Clefable
Arcanine
Gengar
Vaporeon
Nice 👍
Watching this in my let's go trick or treating gear 😀👍
Just watched this 4 years later. Just bought LGP a couple days ago. I just got to snorlax and am resetting lol. Tired of using normals. 4 mains, pidgeot, and kadabra... need something new. Bam here it is. Possibly start over tonight. Love it 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
When you have Pokémon go on your phone “ima just send a growlith to Pokémon let’s go eevee”
Yeah that works.
Thanks for making this! I started LGP for my first play through. I haven't thought of using Nidoking, Scyther nor Starmie on my main team, instead focusing on all the "classic" Kanto starters, but I do notice not being able to sweep some of the Team Rocket match ups. I'll rework my team once I have all 3 starters evolved. I may even consider importing Alakazam via Go Park. Also there are only 5 Pokemon in this vid. I assume you want to keep Venusaur for the grass coverage since you raved about it in the Eevee Vid. :)
There are technically 7 Pokémon in this vid
Pikachu, snorelax, alakazam, starmie, scyther, arcanine, and nidoking
He goes over all the move sets of them
Tip: wait until nidoking is level 25 before evolving it because it learns toxic early and poison jab.
U mean Nidorino or Nidoran Nidoking is the last evolution
Nidorino duh
@Dyno Games you get the point though no need to nitpick
Sparks-(pikachu)m
Ruby-(dragonite)f
Azula-(lapras)f
Krypto-(arcanine)m
Smashing-(nidoking)m
Grande verde-(venasuar)m
I have spent 2 - 3 hours trying to get Scyther with a catch combo. I some how got a shiny Oddish while I was trying to get Scyther so it was worth the wait, but I CANT GET SCYTHER AT ALL. I have Scyther, but it doesn't have good stats.
Use Bottle Caps
I got pinsir and a shiny caterpie no catch combo
method: run away from every pokemon, it worked for me
I got lucky and it just showed up when I wasn't looking for it.
*sees my boys Scyther and Nidoking made the cut*
Hell yes! Scyther is totally underrated
My team
Pikachu
Charizard
Blastoise
Venusaur
Snorlax
Dragonite
I'm sorry but that's the most basic and overused team for Kanto, I love them all, but i see this team layout way too much.
Overused? Yes. Basic? Not at all. There's a reason people use it soo much. Covers most types and powerful as fuck. Also kind of like a throw back to Ash's and Red's team.
Although I would replace Dragonite with Pidgeot for a complete nostalgic feel.
Royce Fernandes yeah that what I based it on, what I would think a champion team would be. The three starters, a raichu(but Pikachu is good in this game) a dragonite and a snorlax. Personally I would replace Red’s Lapras with a dragonite, and Pikachu with a raichu.
The Lytz yea you’re right but you rarely ever have an option to use all three starters in a game, for my second run I’m not going to use the starters, or dragonite and snorlax
I used the same team I always have. This time however, instead of Iron Tail for my little buddy, she got both Rock and Ground coverage with Splishy Splash. Here was my line-up and moves
Sparkles (Pikachu):
Thunderbolt
Zippy Zap
Splishy Splash
Quick Attack
Mandy (Muk {Alola}):
Sludge Bomb
Poison Jab
Dark Pulse
Hyper Bean
Dragoness (Dragonite):
Outrage
Fly
Ice Beam
Surf
Blossom (Venusaur {Mega}):
Solar Beam
Razor Leaf
Vine Whip
Leech Seed
Rainbow Dash (Charizard {X Mega})
Flamethrower
Fly
Outrage
Slash
Venus (Blastoise {Mega}):
Hydro Pump
Ice Beam
Dark Pulse
Brick Break
I only used Pikachu like I literally never had to use my other Pokémon
Ditto that, except I had Eevee and just changed her (mine was a female) Move Tutor moves every time I had a big battle coming up.
I’ve been saving up for a Nintendo Switch for 2 years And today I got it so I am watching this video so now I can make the best team
I think that Superpower on Arcanine isn't a move to really use because of one, it lowers Attack and Defense, two, you have to wait til victory road to get the TM since Arcanine can't learn it via level up and three, Arcanine is known for phyiscal attack than special.
One thing I would like to say is:
if I’m being honest I think using the nit best Pokemon isn’t bad it just adds more fun! as it’s actually a challenge SL I don’t think that you should try to make a best team just a team you feel like you’ll enjoy! and I understand this is just a video for the people who find this game hard and I don’t have a problem with that!
This is 4/6 the team I wanted to run anyway, I really wanted Rapadash and my first favorite Pokemon Celfeiry. So with me naming all my pokemon after food in let's go we have Muffin, Jelly, Coffie, Coey, Sushi, and Taffy.
My team:
- Starter Pikachu
- Charizard
- Blastoise
- Alolan Sandslash
- Butterfree
- Snorlaz
This can't be right. Where are the three vileplumes?
Exactly. The Vile Pile is a must-have
Where's the vile pile
Also, where's mudkip
Andrew Trimble Mudkip isn’t even in the fucking game
I know, that's the whole point of the joke
My team;
-Pikachu
-Meltan
-Golem
-Blastoise
-Charizard
-Venasaur
I think fire punch should be replaced by earthquake for snorlax because ice punch and brick break already covers any thing fire is good for (except bug), but earthquake adds even more coverage.
Hey I’m a big fan! It would be awesome if you did a team of all 7 generations. I don’t mind if don’t, and keep up the good work!
My team again is currently and the reasons I have them
1. Mewtwo: it’s mewtwo need I say more
2. Mew: I got it with pokeball plus so why not?
3. Venasaur: caught it in veridian forest so why not a starter
4. Eevee: my starter
5. Aerodactyl: I need a Pokémon to fly
6. Articuno; I need a legendary
"I need a legendary", you already bnb have mew and mewtwo
And you wouldn’t need mew and mewtwo on the same team at the same time lol bad team because of types you have lots of the same types
Pfft screw Syther my Beedrill is the only bug ill ever need.
Yeet I'll get scizzor
post game i would say the stat boosts make Mega-Beedrill seriously good.
Personally my team is
1. Pikachu
2. Vileplume
3. Charizard
4. Slowbro
5. Articuno
6. Nidoking
Thanks for the video. I know that Eevee is better, but Pikachu is my favorite Pokémon, and since that means I will get let’s go Pikachu, I just wanted your opinion on what kind of team would be best for my playthrough. Again, thanks for the video!
I used just a Snorlax.
I use him for every game. Crushes everything
About 5:00, you mentioned that Nidoking is good for defeating Trace except for Marowak. But know that Ground is weak to Ice.
So my brother and I got a literal huge story mix up. First, we went to challenge Koga AFTER we finished up team rocket. Then, we traveled to seafoam islands to try and find cinnabar to challenge the gym, not realizing you need to challenge Sabrina first.(we also caught an articuno in the process) so um yeah
Moves for Arcanine:
Flamethrower/Flare blitz
Outrage
Crunch
Play Rough
Outrage is not that good, you should dragon breath on something like a dragonite, because outrage acts as a sticky web because you cannot change pokemon plus you get confused
My team on let's go Pikachu is:
Pikachu
Charizard
Venasaur
Blastoise
Articuno
Nidoking or ryhorn
And if course I picked helix fossil
My kanto team in red was Charizard, Vileplume, Lapras, Nidoking, Raichu and Mew. And yes i did the Mew glitch, but this time i have the pokeball+ so i can get Mew legit. I plan on using this team in Lets go Pikachu, exept for the Raichu being pikachu this time. What do you guys think about it?
Job Holzken team is ass
@@kvngvz9106 lmao what was the point of saying that
What doesn’t make sense to me is you said you don’t like the Pikachu version but you never played it🤷🏽🤷🏽🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Hey Mystic nice video. But I have a question. I want to use Gengar, he's one of my all time favorites and a staple, can you suggest a moveset and who I should replace on this team for him? Sorry if this was already asked I didn't see it.
Shadow Ball for stab
Focus Blast for coverage
Dark Pulse for coverage
Dazzling Gleam because Gengar is a fabulous Pokémon
@@thomaaaaaaaaaaaas focus blast isn't in this game.
@@NJF-wb4pt I guess replace it with Brick Break or something
@@EthanC35 mega drain is better imo
Thank you so much you saved me and for months and months I played but I could not get past the Pokémon League thank you very very much You saved me.
My party:
Pikachu
Venusaur
Nidoqueen
Arcanine
Lapras
Pidgeot

3:52 guess you won't be saying it for the 6th time for Sword and Shield :^)
I mean preeeeeeeeeeety sure all the gen 1 pokemon are gonna be in it. Cause the pokemon company has sure milked gen one so much that it would shock me that they arn't in it.
nope so far there was only like around- check serebii.net they see what pokemon was encountered or seen in the overworld. I think there is less than you think
including demos e3 30 minutes stuff clips etc.
Actually yeah, they're gonna bring back every Gen 1 Pokemon :v
Cassidy P.P. Suck they are not bringing them all back so nidoking is not coming back in gen 8
My current team:

Mix tape lmao, not that fire
My team is Pikachu, Nidoking, Snorlax, Charizard, Blastoise and Dragonite
10:46 if acrobatics was in this game, you Will give that move to sycther instead of wing attack
thanks for this it was very helpful, I just swapped nidoking for nidoqueen bc I prefer nidoqueen and I'm pretty sure it has the same tm moves so yea
Nidoqueen has more Defence, Sp Defence and HP while Nidoking has more Attack, Sp Attack and Speed. Nidoqueen is a good tank and Nidoking is a good sweeper.
And yes Nidoqueen can learn all the TM moves that Nidoking would learn in this team.
Just picked up the game, this is the team I'm aiming for:
Pikachu
Charizard
Snorlax
Victrebell
Gyarados
Mew
I used
Pikachu
Blastoise
Dragonite
Moltres
Beedrill
Rhydon
And it worked pretty well, I didn’t have a single one faint during the elite four
I don’t recommend using moltres, his stats aren’t the best, use ninetales, maybe charizard, Magmar, or archanine
Miwp dude moltres has a solid 580 stat total
FYI. Abdallahsamsh026 is making a series covering every master trainer.
My team in lets go pikachu so far: pikachu, kadabra, haunter, gyarados, arcanine and snorlax. I hope too evolve haunter and kadabra soon if i find someone too trade with.
My current team is as follows:
Charizard
Venusaur
Onix
Pikachu
Blastoise
Machamp
I'm gonna try to beat the game with them but I might also start over to give this team a shot.
Alakazam can’t learn thunderbolt in let’s go (I’ve tried and cried)
I thought you can, but it’s annoying that it can’t! Alakazam can learn Dazzling Gleam. Due to the best special attack stat, it’s really good.
I'll forgive Gamefreak if they let us take our Let's Go starters with us to Sword and Shield. They won't, but I can dream I suppose.
0:19 Oh God *don't* look at the center of that

2.venasaur
3.gyrados
4.arcinine
5.snorlax
6.nidoking
Like if its good 😁
Pikachu is way better than evee
Nope, Eevee is normal type only weak to fighting. And in this game it learns many good moves.
I agree. Pikachu is much better than eevee
@@lukeporter6464 there both the same damn they may not be the same pokemon but its the same ending man
I totally agree.
@@cherrylemnz776 Pikachu is better than eevee idc wattcha say
In yellow my team will always be Ash-esq . Pikachu , ballbasur, squartel, charmander , snorlax
I'm loving your vids so far, but i still have to get the game tho lol. It's been a long time since i played a Pokémon game, there is a lot to catch up.
Solid video mate
Unpopular (possibly offensive) opinion:
No Offense to Nidoking fans (i actually like it) but i feel like it's overrated. Like Horn Drill and X accuracy's a thing but that's pretty much the end of it's greatness. Maybe it's just me, but i don't like it's "great" stats.
And Nidoqueen also feels a bit too left out due to her counterpart.
And obviously no one cares.
I comment at comment sections Good "in-game" (althought not bad for competitive)
Yea hRhydon is so much better. much higher stats, Earthquake and Rockslide STAB. amazing defenses, it can also learn Poison Jab for coverage, and Rhyhorn can be caught in Rock Tunnel. Just catch a dugtrio for Surge, then replace it with Rhyhorn and never look back.
Nidoqueen is always left out! Nobody ever includes her.
I agree, Nidoqueen is hardly ever used, only captured for pokèdex entries.
My team for this game RECENTLY was
-Pikachu
-Scyther
-Dragonite
-Snorlax
-Starmie
-Arcanine
why dragonite and arcanine instead of a more diverse pokemon?
