Woah, another video, thanks for watching it folks and for the amazing support last week! I really do appreciate it. See you all next week, any video ideas you all may have I’d love to hear :)
@M.Jspeaks You don't have to exclusively use Megas tho. I used to run a Banded Excadrill with T-Tarite Archeops and a pex with Rocky Helmet and won plenty of games
This would be true, but Rusted Shield and Rusted Sword allowed for users to Terastilize, while it sounds like an odd thing since it's just one thing, that's put up to be mostly what got Tera banned in the Metagame, since it allowed players to make uncompetitive plays with setting up using Rusted Shield, as well as with many other Mons. Though, I believe the ban really could've gone either way, I dislike Tera and am glad it's gone, I understand why some wouldn't like it's removal
I used to run physical Togekiss back in Gen 8 Almost Any Ability. Choice band Aerialite Espeed/Play Rough/Duel Wing beat( for if I need the damage/naturally outspeed)/drain punch. That team I had was genuinely incredible
I think it may actually be broken on shuckle With those defenses losing some really aint a big problem and even with an attack stat like that it can work dont forget about shell smash either
Red Orb has the benefit of providing a major Special attack boost, while also giving a Fire typing, and a weather that benefits said fire typing, all of this makes it the most insane booster of Weather Balls ever, Blue Orb on the other hand doesn't really do a lot other then boost attack, it's still good, but marginally worse since it's weather is less desired for WBalls and offensive threats.
Video idea: Explaining bans in the pokebilities meta. A much lesser known OM, but my personal favorite OM and I did become co-leader of the OM back in April, so I can help with any needed information
Thank you Evelin. I love hearing you explain cool metagames :) i think its really rad what people can come up with. Also your editing is top notch as always
So many of these are just common sense. Who would’ve thought that giving ANYTHING access to No Guard, Shadow Tag, Speed Boost, Pure Power/Huge Power or Parental Bond would be broken?
This is definitely true, due to this I tried to focus the video more around the history of these stones and any complex bans attempted to preserve them, rather then "Fun fact, huge power good", but I totally get what you mean lol
@@EvelynIsBased it was still a good video I watched the whole thing lol. I did notice that you didn’t mention OHKO moves when talking about Pidgeotite, were those banned before Pidgeotite was tested?
OHKO moves were banned immediately yeah, though an interesting tidbit of history I didn't mention is that Proto/Quark drive Mons originally kept their boost after Mega evolving due to a coding error, which got people massively hating Iron Bundle day 1 and wanting it's ban until a Mod came out and said it was just a simple coding error, so it did avoid a ban due to Sheer Cold, but almost got hit by another for Quark Drive
Love how Roaring Moon is the main character of this video but is also extremely difficul to use because every single team in the tier has pixilate espeed
If it was introduced (which it wouldn't obviously be) Squak would def be insane, but more then that, Lilligant H would be even crazier with Victory Dance + Pure Power
Keep seein comments of people being rude about the thumbnail looking similar to other creators and like. Why :( it's just a good video yall don't need to get so tight over a thumbnail. Anyways love the video, evelynisbased truly livin up to their name
The Pidgeotite took a while to get banned compared to the others iirc. One of my favorite combos back in the day with it was Mismagius since she was already a little speedy and had Inferno. It wasn’t great due to her poor bulk but it was fun.
Yeah the Pidgeotite is one of the few here that actually had a pretty long process that led up to its ban, though the Rusted Sword had a bit of a long process too it was still much shorter, though I could see it maybe being reintroduced into the Metagame (strong maybe)
Sort of in a way, mostly just a large downloaded folder that I pick from depending on what I think fits the moment/way I'm talking, would you like the list of music from this video?
Intro - Hateno Village BOTW Pidgeotite Portion - Minigame - Parasail BOTW Beedrillite Portion - Kokiri Forest - Zelda OOT Medicham + Mawilite - Street Fighter 5, Ken's theme Rusted Sword - Meta Knights Revenge SSBU Gengarite - New Super Mario Bros, Ghost House Blazikenite - Red Dead Redemption 2, American Venom Kangaskhanite - 36 Fit Boss Battle, Ring Fit Adventure Outro - I don't know? I found it through a game music site which rips music straight from the source, I named the song Champions Ballad (BOTW), so that's probably what it is, but I can't for the life of me find it on RUclips under another name Hope this helps :) (also yes I play a lot of Zelda)
Talk about mispronouncing the English versions of pokemon moves and names. Adding in weird name changes to suit English speakers (like hitmonlee and hitmonchan being completely different than the japanese names) would be interesting as well
I have a question, why did the rusted sword give Pokémon the intrepid sword boost in this format? Zanjan gets the same boost regardless of if it has a rusted sword or not
cause you gain the ability of the item, for example blaziken has speed boost but the blazikenite will still apply speed boost since thats the only abillity that form can gave
Waaait a second, so in that metagame, any pokemon that mega evolves now has actually TWO abilities? AT THE SAME TIME? Okay who exactly thought that's even remotely a good idea again? xDD
Most OMs ban OHKO moves due to there being a numerous amount of ways to make them work, as such, Mix and Megas followed suit as banning Pidgeotite for a few select naturally uncompetitive moves isn't really fair.
Thank you very much and I love that idea, I'll definitely look into doing a video like that as a lot of interesting stones are shockingly lackluster in the tier, thanks :)
He is subscribed to me, it is not a competition, the largest similarity is mostly in Thumbnail, I've taken a lot of inspiration from him and Freezai and I have respect for both of them, so I attempt to strive into my own category, I don't quite understand what your comment is meant to succeed
6:55 I UNIRONICALLY HATE THIS SO FUCKING MUCH. this example of complex bans I think is silly because its quite arbitrary but I've seen this counter argument applied FUCKING ANYWHERE. aaa has pokemon that are too good with only one specific ability? well mewtwo would be weaker if it could only use psychic moves l,ike NO FUCKING SHIT DUDE, please bring up an actually good argument instead of one so anti discussion. I'm unironically more in favor of this hustle complex now because idiots oppose it. and no it doesn't make sense, if you thought about that stupid shit for even a moment you'd see how it'd fall apart. a complex ban isn't arbitrary because its complex, its based on the context its found on. noivern got banned for 1 set so to increase diversity, maybe it should be freed without access to aerilate? nope, "kyogre would be balanced at level 60 with only surf".

See you all next week, any video ideas you all may have I’d love to hear :)
Nice link to the Red Orb video
I’d love a video on why Tera is banned in Mix and Megas, that’s brought up a lot but hasn’t really been explained.
That's true actually I never thought to make a video like that, I'll definitely look into it :)
@@EvelynIsBased”Explaining Why These OMs have banned Tera” sounds pretty cool as a compilation video
If everything tuns a mega stone then megas + tera dont run together even in natdex
@M.Jspeaks You don't have to exclusively use Megas tho. I used to run a Banded Excadrill with T-Tarite Archeops and a pex with Rocky Helmet and won plenty of games

Can't believe kilowattrel died for Pidgeotite's sins
We've recently seen it's revival though 🙏 (it got unbanned)
@@EvelynIsBased have the mons thought broken due to pidgeotite been unbanned?
@@SakhotGamer the only one was kilo
>Gengarite
It could reduce each stat by 20 and still be really goddamn good.
lmao phys togekiss fans really tried to make it happen
Phys Togekiss fans are still in their fever dreams waiting for Medichamite
I used to run physical Togekiss back in Gen 8 Almost Any Ability.
Choice band Aerialite Espeed/Play Rough/Duel Wing beat( for if I need the damage/naturally outspeed)/drain punch. That team I had was genuinely incredible
I'd like to hear about why some stones AREN'T banned, such as the Sablenite. Hearing about what's still in the tier sounds really interesting
I think Beedrillite would not be broken on Shuckle
Controversial opinion but Beedrillite wouldn't be broken on Beedrill 🙏
I think it may actually be broken on shuckle
With those defenses losing some really aint a big problem and even with an attack stat like that it can work dont forget about shell smash either
@@EvelynIsBasedWhat if I put Beedrillite on my Alolan Sandslash to try to underflow a stat with my now base -5 Special Attack?
@@baxterbruce9827u can’t use the stone if ur results in negative stats or even stats of 0
Ive been getting into the other metagames because of this channel, im really glad that i found your channel!
Thank you so much I'm glad you've been getting into them I love hearing that :)
Take a drink every time he brings up Urshifu
Dead 5 minutes in
Urshifu was a bad decision that shouldn't have left the cutting room floor
@@Fanimati0n or! There’s 2 of them 🧠
Freezai with Jimothy Cool thumbnails. Nice.
It’s a funny tier with funny mons
Certified quite possibly true
@@EvelynIsBased I mean
How can it not be funny if people tried to make physical togikiss
Commenting to boost the viceo for the algorithm!
The algorithm holds me hostage so this is very appreciated 🙏
I’m honestly surprised that red orb is banned whilst blue orb remains legal
Red Orb has the benefit of providing a major Special attack boost, while also giving a Fire typing, and a weather that benefits said fire typing, all of this makes it the most insane booster of Weather Balls ever, Blue Orb on the other hand doesn't really do a lot other then boost attack, it's still good, but marginally worse since it's weather is less desired for WBalls and offensive threats.
@@EvelynIsBased makes sense. Thinking about it now, I guess urshifu would be the only big abuser. Thanks for clarifying
Video idea: Explaining bans in the pokebilities meta.
A much lesser known OM, but my personal favorite OM and I did become co-leader of the OM back in April, so I can help with any needed information
200 base special attack magerna is horrifying holy shit
your videos are always excellent. thank you for shining a light on OMs ♡
Thank you Evelin. I love hearing you explain cool metagames :) i think its really rad what people can come up with. Also your editing is top notch as always

Great vid
Love the content
Very much appreciated :)
And then he vanished
I wish I could play rotation battles. The mind games are insane

I didn't even know that Mix and Megas was a thing, but the video was great to watch!
Love how Roaring Moon is the main character of this video but is also extremely difficul to use because every single team in the tier has pixilate espeed
imagine this: Sqaukabilly with Huge Power. I mean it has hustle.
If it was introduced (which it wouldn't obviously be) Squak would def be insane, but more then that, Lilligant H would be even crazier with Victory Dance + Pure Power
Could you imagine if Mega Salamance had 200 base atk?!
Like holy crap it would be almost unstoppable with the right moves set.
That gengarite transition had me rolling
Keep seein comments of people being rude about the thumbnail looking similar to other creators and like. Why :( it's just a good video yall don't need to get so tight over a thumbnail. Anyways love the video, evelynisbased truly livin up to their name
Would love to see a video on popular cores within the tier ! Get a feel for how the meta works n whatnot
I would love a video explaining every unique item for mix and mega tbh, fascinating metagame
The Pidgeotite took a while to get banned compared to the others iirc. One of my favorite combos back in the day with it was Mismagius since she was already a little speedy and had Inferno. It wasn’t great due to her poor bulk but it was fun.

Mega stones feel like devil fruits from One Piece in this mode
Imagine Khangaskanite Melmetal with double hitting double iron bash, for the ultimate in rage-inducing moves.
I like a lot the idea it literally like dynamax but more broken. Cool see it on main games kibda lmae tho
Jimothy cool ah thumbnail
Cool video, Evelyn!
High quality vid my guy :D
Thank you very much :)
Good video
Thank you :)
evelyn do u have a list of music you use in your videos
Sort of in a way, mostly just a large downloaded folder that I pick from depending on what I think fits the moment/way I'm talking, would you like the list of music from this video?
@@EvelynIsBased yes please! there was one song that sounded somewhat familiar but i couldn’t exactly put my finger on it.
Intro - Hateno Village BOTW
Pidgeotite Portion - Minigame - Parasail BOTW
Beedrillite Portion - Kokiri Forest - Zelda OOT
Medicham + Mawilite - Street Fighter 5, Ken's theme
Rusted Sword - Meta Knights Revenge SSBU
Gengarite - New Super Mario Bros, Ghost House
Blazikenite - Red Dead Redemption 2, American Venom
Kangaskhanite - 36 Fit Boss Battle, Ring Fit Adventure
Outro - I don't know? I found it through a game music site which rips music straight from the source, I named the song Champions Ballad (BOTW), so that's probably what it is, but I can't for the life of me find it on RUclips under another name
Hope this helps :)
(also yes I play a lot of Zelda)

yo what's the song you played at the start of the kang section? that went hard as hell
36 Fit Boss Battle from Ring Fit Adventure :)
No tera? Sounds fun as a gen 8 player :D
I have a question, why did the rusted sword give Pokémon the intrepid sword boost in this format? Zanjan gets the same boost regardless of if it has a rusted sword or not
cause you gain the ability of the item, for example blaziken has speed boost but the blazikenite will still apply speed boost since thats the only abillity that form can gave
Maybe the Evelyn was the based we made along the way
My personal investigators are researching this possibility
where'd she go..........
if anyone could tell me what music is playing at 12:42, i’d greatly appreciate it
It's 36 Fit Boss Battle - Ring Fit Adventure :)
@@EvelynIsBased tyvm
yooo this guy makes niche pokemon comp videos? added you to the list my dude, keep it up bro
Waaait a second, so in that metagame, any pokemon that mega evolves now has actually TWO abilities? AT THE SAME TIME? Okay who exactly thought that's even remotely a good idea again? xDD
no its ability gets replaced
Great video, please raise your voice. 🤗
Pidgeoite seems too strong because of no guard ohko moves
OHKO moves are banned through OHKO Clause
Most OMs ban OHKO moves due to there being a numerous amount of ways to make them work, as such, Mix and Megas followed suit as banning Pidgeotite for a few select naturally uncompetitive moves isn't really fair.
@@EvelynIsBased oh gotcha ty, I'm more familiar with vgc so I wasn't really sure
Do you know the based god?
Yo trans rights - also good fucking video. Maybe you talk about bad mega stones sort of as a sequel video?
Thank you very much and I love that idea, I'll definitely look into doing a video like that as a lot of interesting stones are shockingly lackluster in the tier, thanks :)
