Gave redux garchomp a try in my first playthrough, and man, that thing is deadly. In the rain, you don't even need to boost to sweep through way too many teams. He was my favorite of the new forms to use
How these megas work in practice: Mega sableye: Is essentially just the same deal as usual… except for some twisted reason it actually hits way harder. But I guess that’s what happens when your knock off is boosted by both nocturnal and analytic. Froslass is just sad: On paper, it would seem like it would be the best slush rusher due to its stats and abilities…. But then you realize that if it’s not using ice stab, it’s PITIFULLY weak. Something as simple and basic as spedef heatran gives it trouble despite it not having any defense against shadow ball just because of how weak Froslass actually is when it isn’t using ice stab. You massively undersell redux mmaw. Even without the the shadow tag that gets it canned by default, between it’s power, speed; and capability to cheese through it’s few checks via bite flinch hax, it would be overwhelming in ou anyway Banette by itself, is not a bad Mon in the slightest, its tools are generally amazing, and if you want to use it it wouldn’t be the worst choice. The problem is that everywhere it goes it gets outclassed. Ou is rn MUCH to overwhelming for it to find a niche in, tho uu isn’t in anyway developed yet. Even in monotype, it has to compete for its spot on mono normal and ghost with hisui zoroark, a strong mon in its own right that doesn’t take up the mega slot. On mono normal especially it also has to compete with kecleon as an anti fighting measure, tho that won’t exactly be a problem once kecleon gets axed from monotype. Gengar is funny…. On one hand a mon as strong as mgar getting the tools it has is terrifying…. But on the other hand due to how strong everything else is, and the fact that it isn’t locked to shadow tag as it’s ability anymore, it has a real chance of dropping to ou and becoming manegable in the tier (likely would need it since gira o outclasses it in Ubers) Shed is likely the hardest mega to use of them rn. Doesn’t mean it’s bad, far from it: if you can actually use it skillfully enough it’s legit ag. Just like shed in previous iterations, it would actually be more prevalent in Ubers than in ou, since the things that beat it are fare less common up there. It has to worry about kyurem black due to teravolt, but besides that it has full reign to go completely crazy The thing about crobat is even before 1.6 when it didn’t have momentum, the strength of its amplifier nasty plot sets were enough to where it would get canned. Now it HAS momentum making physical sets viable and mainstream, tho contrary to what it may seem, special sets haven’t really fallen out of favor, if anything they have been strengthened due to no longer being the most common set, and that set is the last thing you should be unprepared for. Hell, it can potentially experiment with a mixed momentum double dance set, since an unrealized benefit of momentum is that you can easily run mixed since evs in speed are effectively evs in attack, so you can run 252 evs in speed and spatk, nasty plot and agility as boosting options and then a combination of boomburst and brave bird, Nosferatu canceling out the latter’s recoil. I already talked about why redux mega doom is broken in both fidough’s dedicated video on it and the redux ranking video. But long story short: It’s the broken love child of spectrier and serperior, and once caly-s and giratina are banned and restricted respectively, it’s going to take the former’s mantle. Redux chomp I wouldn’t call the strongest, but it definitely is broken and would be banned. However, the reason it HASN’T is because the meta is occupied on other mons. Mainly the dragon era dynamic, while it and rain would naturally do well against zard y led sun teams, they SUCK into tr led by melmetal and mega ampharos, and since everyone’s running things like mega meganium and celebi to stop the electric dragon, rain generally prefers mega kingdra since it takes a hit with multi scale and kills them back with ice beam, as well as winning the 1v1 against mega ampharos even if it has mold breaker if amphy doesn’t have a tail glow.
Yes, there is an elite redux showdown, tho currently it’s getting migrated to another server and thus is down, since the one that was being used was causing problems
Told you Redux Mega Garchomp is a living nuke! One Swords Dance, and it's over. And may God have mercy on the enemies's souls, cuz Redux Mega Garchomp won't
I run a rain team and I don't even invest in it's speed yet he ohko/2hko and outspeed everything. this is the type of Pokemon that if you made ONE mistake it run through your team like butter
@@windego64 I made a whole team focusing on garchomp (almost all hazards, rain, light screen and reflect, etcetera). A rillaboom ohkoed me with grassyglide
a threat ? It's more like a joke in national dex OU, he is just not good and just is in the tier for no reason, he is unranked in the viability rankings too so that's say everything
garchomp can also got with sea guardian as it's base form ability making it also have a +1 to a stat in rain while said rain boosts it's water type attacks.
Normal Banette also has scare iirc And also Mega Shedinja was CRUCIAL in the fight against Juan and Wallace. It also has levitate which means only rocks are able to hit it
Isn't it the case that Shedinja won't actually die to entry hazards and weather damage because Wonder Guard has been buffed to also make it immune to indirect damage? At least that's what Elite Redux Nextdex says.
From what i saw, it isn't the case. You probably misread the Wonder Guard description as it is now "Is only hit by Super Effective moves or indirect damage". It doesn't help that Mega Shedinja have Magic Guard to only be damaged by moves.
- For mainline game ones and some of the oldest ones added (thoses often came from Radical Red and Inclement Emerald), you get them at the same time as the Mega Brace. - For newer Megas, they are often gifts that you get after beating bosses but there is 2 that you can simply find on the floor between Brawly and Wattson. - The Redux ones can be bought in the same building you normally buy Redux forms.
You know bro I sweeped champion steven's team at the end of league with only my mega redux houndoom I had Nature - modest Item- choice scarf Ability main one- contrary Attack - a ghost type move which decreases sp.tak by 2 stages but with contrary it boosts by 2 and I sweeped his team easily by 1 attack
Ah yes, mega with a choice scarf. you know theres a reason why megas cant hold items so you enabling that option in the game and then being surprised its broken asf is on you.

I was literally in the middle of a mono-ghost run and this vid came out
Same. Pushing towards flannery
Im in a mono water run. Honestly swift swim and rain makes it easy
Perfect timing

What do you mean by OU? Is there a mod for showdown??
Yes, there is an elite redux showdown, tho currently it’s getting migrated to another server and thus is down, since the one that was being used was causing problems
What a bunch of useless yapping lmao
@@Forged4War206 as I said, the ersh is migrating, not shutdown (may be misinterpreted but you get the point), so it is relevant

Unfortunately it's fragile, 1 grassy glide and it's dead. Still, it's very good on rain teams

@@windego64
"Garchomp and friends", lmao
the bell bong for the transitions make this video funny af
Mega Bannette got a glow up in Gen 9 and is an actual threat in Nat Dex (so maybe it will actually be used legitimately when ZA comes out idk)
Actual threat outside of top ladder
a threat ? It's more like a joke in national dex OU, he is just not good and just is in the tier for no reason, he is unranked in the viability rankings too so that's say everything
@@s1rumbrens.u133 he is a low ladder warrior maybe idk it’s better than being RU tho, idk if this means anything to you
once all the typing videos are done i'd love to see a ranking of them all, i know it'd be a lot of hard work but i do think it'd be really cool
Mega Houndoom R CARRIED me through Norman's gym. Contrary + Raging Souls is absolutely BUSTED. Lmao
garchomp can also got with sea guardian as it's base form ability making it also have a +1 to a stat in rain while said rain boosts it's water type attacks.
woah first time seeing a fidough video so early. love these vids, this game is so cool
My boi Garchomp became an absolute monster xD
I love ghost type Pokémon
I love Redux Mega Garchomp so much. It looks even cooler than normal chomp.
Thanks megafido for an epic videos
No problem!
I love your channel
Since my next run is mono ghost, this will be appreciated
Could you make a video about bad mons that got buffed on emerald elite relux?
This is like a dream
They sure love dark/ghosts huh
Normal Banette also has scare iirc
And also Mega Shedinja was CRUCIAL in the fight against Juan and Wallace. It also has levitate which means only rocks are able to hit it
Mega Shedninja is cool in theory, but in practise? Not good but I thought that my wonder guarding boy will be lower.
If you play with perma mega evos, focus sash mega crobat with agility kills everything and everyone
An unrelated question to the video, how do you encounter the headbutt pokemon like a regular encounter and not in dexnav?
Thoses are Rock Smash/Cut encounters
@@cocokill3048 oh ok
Mega garchomp R is terrifying
I swear they they
made it so physical gengar was viable
Hope the game have some changes in the story in the future 😀
Will you make a rate my team live?
what is that?
@@MegaFidough a live where you rate teams that people send you
possibly
Isn't it the case that Shedinja won't actually die to entry hazards and weather damage because Wonder Guard has been buffed to also make it immune to indirect damage? At least that's what Elite Redux Nextdex says.

What version are we in? I can only find 2.1 on the internet...
2.2. try the discord
What about the 2.5 trailer? Now im lost lol😅@@MegaFidough
When is 2.5 dropping bro
🎄🎅 ?
The death sf is so goofy for this
no
Ohohohohoho oh oh hoh im falling throught I se it my eyyess eye eyee
Megaaaaaa
where to get the megastones?
Local gas stations often sell them
- For mainline game ones and some of the oldest ones added (thoses often came from Radical Red and Inclement Emerald), you get them at the same time as the Mega Brace.
- For newer Megas, they are often gifts that you get after beating bosses but there is 2 that you can simply find on the floor between Brawly and Wattson.
- The Redux ones can be bought in the same building you normally buy Redux forms.
Mega frosslass is so forgetable XD
It's good and have a awesome desing, it's just that is limited to hail teams
@@rilial that and no one uses it i havent seen a whif of it on the discord
@@rilial not even the npc's use it
Realease date of 2.5
You know bro I sweeped champion steven's team at the end of league with only my mega redux houndoom I had
Nature - modest
Item- choice scarf
Ability main one- contrary
Attack - a ghost type move which decreases sp.tak by 2 stages but with contrary it boosts by 2 and I sweeped his team easily by 1 attack
Ah yes, mega with a choice scarf.
you know theres a reason why megas cant hold items so you enabling that option in the game and then being surprised its broken asf is on you.
@@shadowkirbae4289 The same with Garchomp Mega Redux in permanent mega mode
It's literally cheating because King's Rock stacks with Haunting Frenzy
mega gengar should be last
unfortunatly it doesnt have shadow tag so its useless
WDYM, It has Shadow tag
I does though?
Last
