DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.

"And look, Reshiram is all about truth right? Well here's the truth: Reshiram sucks in VGC"
This is a perfect example of what people mean when they say the truth hurts

Because Charizard fans are crybaby snowflakes?

Not really. Primals are just busted.

If Ferrothorn could go toe to toe with a fire type legendary if played correctly. We aren't looking at a movie. Ferrothorn will be an autobiography
So FSG is ferrothorn?

the ferrothorn video will be feature length
Ferrothorn Will be a video for each gen it was in, and all the videos being an hour long
At least the VGC section(s) are going to be short.
This video in a nutshell:
Reshiram: Daniel
White Kyrurem: Cooler Daniel
Kyurem white is an ice type.................heh
Reshiram: You took the only chance I had!
Kyurem white: Poor, little reshiram...did I take your place? Or did I give you the only chance you had to succeed?

Too bad reshiram got way worse cuz zacian got banned

Nice to see our boy still has work in the big leagues.
But our boy still don't care
unfortunately zacian crowned was banned to AG so he cant wall the game mascot for the entire uber tier anymore
@@D-S-G. Unfortunately? That thing was broken, he can kiss my butt. He was the sole reason I left competitive scene. No matter how well one played zacian could still win by brute force, how boring.
@@Samuel-qc7kg im saying quagsire cant preform the unfathomable feat of stopping the one thing that tore through everyone else. Its so broken yet out little fish boy walls it very well, arguably the best
One word: unaware
Man, this was just depressing. It starts so well when you hear how dominant it could be in theory, but then everything goes downhill when you hear how it performs in practice. At least it's majestic to look at
I mean it’s still in Ubers it’s hardly a bad Pokemon in and of itself.
@@Neo232100
Yeah, but it's not really prominent either and can't be used in OU. It's like a high school student feeling invisible and useless, but is too old for elementary school
@@MorganKing95 Too true, admittedly this is kinda why I keep my Pokemon Battles kinda casual and just build stuff that seems fun. :)
Reshiram just has a lot of problems and honestly it’s not surprising
Fire/Dragon is a great typing in general but most of the Metagame isn’t really kind to a Pokemon with such a typing especially Ubers
Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, Ho-Oh, Xerneas, Arceus Water and Ground, the list goes on
Heck even Tapu Fini, Azumarill, and T-Tar all give it trouble and they are not even Ubers
It is really disappointing. I hope Reshiram gets better soon.
People were actually considering allowing reshiram in gen 7 ou, and that alone should tell you how underwhelming it was
Its Darkrai all over again
>Reshiram: FINE! IF UBERS AND VGC WONT APPRECIATE ME AND MY TALENTS THEN IM GOING INTO THE LOWER TIERS
>OU: *HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER* No...
This would sound weird, but I wonder if adding a BP cap for "BL" Pokemon to make them be usable in lower tiers can help.
Poor Zamazenta too. Just one move could have made Zama more viable (GF Body Press come on).
That's sad
funny how Reshiram is in Uber and Kyurem-B isn't
Before: YES MY FAVORITE POKEMON
After: Look how they massacred my boy
Cant wait for them to massacre my boy next week
Zekrom is not too shabby and viable, unlike Reshiram. Especially Gen 8.
Still better than what JustinRPG did to Reshiram (LUBBY CHUDDER LUBBY CHUDDER LUBBY CHUDDER).
Get terminalmontage to make a video on it
I honestly didn't think it would be as bad as it was, it's a box art Uber, but wow, it didn't even do decently...
“And now after Gen 12’s massive power creep Reshiram finally found a comfortable niche in uu, after being totally outclassed by Ultra Primal Dialga in OU and Ultra Primal Zacian C in ubers”
Edit: Thanks For all the likes, seriously I appreciate it
@African Negro Man lol
and quagsire still doesn't care about tiers
I think you mean Gen 9.
Hey Reshy, no I’m implying years in the future Pokémon will just keep getting more OP, I don’t mean gen 9
And there's going to be another ultra-weird period in the meta where entry hazards are briefly unusable and Shedinja upsets a game against an Uber team.
"Reshidead Ramdemption 2"
i love this channel
Poke-fans: "Who voted for Dexit!?"
Reshiram: *stuffing the ballot box*
reshiram commits voter fraud, should be the new yoshi commits tax fraud lol.
Blue eyes white dragon and i guess red eyes black dragon is next
Purple Eyes Gray Dragon
I just hope so because in both cases i like the red eyes better
Hope we can get Firewall Dragon and Odd-eyes pendulum Dragon Game Freak
@@williamhuynh869 *Yellow Eyes
That's literally what they are, just their elements are changed.
Next episode title: How GOOD was Red-Eyes Black Dragon ACTUALLY?
The fact that Zekrom uses lightning and Reshiram uses fire makes me know they were ripping off Yugioh.
It's alright. It has some massive burn cards and good fusions, but it's not as good as Blue-Eyes or Dark Magician, but its definitely my favorite of the 3.
Ikr
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Basically red eyes was hot dog sh!t until late 2020 where red eyes dark dragoon made it used in several, slower decks.
Reshiram:Is crying a f**king river while moving in a fetal position
SWSH:Buffs it
Reshiram:Becomes a god
SWSH:Adds other ubers
Reshiram:Starts crying a river again.
At least now with Zamazenta, Reshiram might now be no longer considered the worst box legendary. At least it’s not considered to be dropped into OU
Well normal Zamazenta is still good
Give zamazenta body press and he would be fine
Lmao it would destroy ou wdym
@@SprizBeats actually there are a lot of mons that could check it.
@@arcexofficial4646 it can beat all its counters wdym
I would really love to see a new tier called UUbers, where Reshiram, Zamazenta, Deoxys-Normal, and Solgaleo could all go play.
Solgaleo is good as a bulky sweeper
@@jambon2730
But sadly it’s just utterly outclassed In that role by Dusk Mane
OUBL
@@jambon2730 Dusk Mane has Prism Armor and better defensive stats, so it is better than it.
@@jambon2730 The problem is, Necrozma-Dusk-Mane is strictly better.
Bro I LITERALLY thought "yo what about How GOOD was Reshiram ACTUALLY?" today wtf lmao
Same thing happened with me when the Swellow video came out lol
Can I ask you to think about Zekrom next week? rofl
Accidentally hit dislike, sorry, but then hit like
Me too.
You’re the main charactere
The, ironically fitting, opposite side of the Truth/Ideal dynamic was that Zekrom was fantastic on its own while Kyurem-B sucked really bad. To the point of not being Uber.
I guess that means that Ideals are great on their own while if truth is paired along with a person willing to accept that truth, then truth can go even further.
But no one wants the truth so only Zekrom is used in Ubers.
Update: it's good now, it finally got a good physical ice-type move, icicle spear, and got a godly boosting move in Dragon Dance
So it finally outclasses Zekrom
While Reshiram was always outclassed by kyurem white
@@Lrizu Nah. Ice-Dragon is a terrible typing and what also doesnt help is that its fully checked by ndm which is the second best mon in the current meta. It is in D tier currently. The same as Cinderace, Genesect and Reshiram while normal zekrom is quite good, being a+.
"while Reshiram wasn't the best up in Ubers, it had a small niche in the upper tiers of OU. wait that's not right."
It's a little sad knowing that one of my favorite legends was borderline useless for 80% of it's life but that doesn't stop me from enjoying it's design and origin
And that’s why you play base Sword/Shield formats. There, Avalugg and Corsola-Galarian were good Pokémon too.
Reshiram is my favorite legendary of all time, and it hurts to hear what false swipe gaming is saying.
Honestly, Reshiram and Zekrom might have the coolest origin out of any pokemon ever.
Heck, even their names are cool;
‘Re’ (feminine suffix) + ‘Shiro’ (Japanese for ‘white’) = Reshiram
‘Ze’ (masculine suffix) + ‘Kuro’ (Japanese for ‘black’) = Zekrom
Reshiram suffers a lot from Metagross syndrome, where on paper it was THE perfect Pokemon, but was so hampered by its speed tier. And much like Metagross, so many people experimented with giving it a speed boosting move just to compensate (Agility for Metagross, Flame Charge for Reshiram).
Um metagross get both agility and rockpolish
That typing
It’s great offensively but absolutely terrible defensively
Poor Reshiram :(
Metagross is RUBL, it DOMINATED RU, which is something Reshiram could never dream of replicating in Ubers
Wasn’t Metagross like the steel type in gen 3 and 4 OU and Ubers????
Also Meta has both agility and bullet punch.
@@takeda6516 unfortunately, explosion was nerfed to oblivion
Reshiram: “Who are you?”
White Kyurem: “I’m you, but cooler.”
Same but with Solgaleo and Necrozma-Dusk Mane
thats not true though lol
@@cyrt2889
White Kyurem is much cooler then Reshiram simply because he is such a n-ice guy
Literally
Solgaleo is better than dusk mane necrozma this gen lol
The legendary with a cry that sounded like a dog in the original game tore up the competitive scene in Ubers
It only started to be a dog when kalos removed some bass and echo

Hello why doesn’t your face have a moustache
I want to See How Ridiculously Broken is Ferrothorn Actually.
That would be a movie.
@@iantaakalla8180 Thankfully it's only in gen 5 onward, so hopefully it won't be an hour+ like the Chansey/Blissey video.
@@heavylobster4339 bkc can do whatever he wants lol
also ferro is much useful than the blob

Along with Heatran. The only 2 mons I know that have been A+ in OU viability rankings without ever having any risk of budging since their release generations.
@@aquaneutral sd+rock polish set is only acceptable
Nobody:
The captions: “Restaurant, the dragon of truth”
I'll make sure to name my next Reshiram, Restaurant.
The captions are wise
"Sir, we don't sell dragons here..."
I personally go out of my way to dislike all "nobody:" comments including this one
@@APO1029 good
Me: huh, I've never heard FSG reference Reshiram in any Ubers related video, I wonder why
Also me: *Oh, I see*
Sucks because I noticed the same thing. Zekrom always looked cooler, even Kyurem black looks better then Kyurem white.
I remember in a video saying that "it was relegaded as a gimmick in ubers like Reshiram"; don't remember which one
@@oscarzxn4067 Darkrai since it sucks in gen 7 Ubers
@@oscarzxn4067 lol I have to look for that
You hyped me up so much at the beginning while I was looking at his insane base stats. This video is so sad but also funny for some reason
Fire/Dragon was a typing I always though was the best and would kill everything and sure that’s sort of true in Gen 5 but after that it was clear it’s just an average typing
Hilariously, Reshiram is just like a Yu-Gi-Oh monster.
The only reason you have it in your deck is to fuse it into something stronger.
But just like the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, it's strong enough to win by itself, under the right conditions.
Yes, in a base Sword/Shield format you can use Reshiram. Which is never coming back nor being persisted.
Ah, yes. The time that Pokemon crossed over with Yu-Gi-Oh.
"My gen has no pathetic pokemons kaiba"
N: My pride! My soul! I summon Reshiram!
I FUSION SUMMON
Well
Reshiram does have Blue-er eyes,
and is a white-er dragon than the Blue-eyes White-Dragon
"You're a third rate Trainer with a fourth rate team!"
*Alternate Title:* How GOOD was The Blue-Eyes White Dragon ACTUALLY?
At least Blue Eyes White Dragon is actually a good card, which is more than can be said for Reshiram, sadly
The Difference between Blue-Eyes W. Dragon and Reshiram:
Blue Eyes won the world championship.
Wrong series
Wow this is a first, seeing you in this comment section lol
2:32 the fall
6:50 the decay
9:19 the reshided remdemption 3
12:16 the resurge
16:08 the fall again
This was so heartbreaking to watch! Reshiram is one of my all-time favorite Pokemon :( .
indeed. reshiram is one of my favorite pokemon and to see it being outclassed hurts
Same. And it sucks that it also outclassed by Charizard by all means.
That's just the cruel nature of competitive Pokémon.
You either reign a tier king, discover your niche to not be completely irrelevane, or become outclassed in your duty at nearly every corner.
Does Mega Charizard X outclasses Reshiram ?
Same
The shinies should've been color swaps between the two, imagine black reshy and white zekrom
Yeah good point actually.
The shinies are both... greenish, right?
I think reshy is yellow and zekrom is bluer
Reshi is purpleish with gold rings and red eyes, I find it way better than just black reshiram
And Zekrom is juqt greenish
Yeah reshirams is actually pretty cool, but zekroms is kinda lame
Ah Reshiram. Nothing quite matches the feeling of being 5 years old battling against N and you have Reshiram lead against his Zekrom with N's kickass theme playing in the background.
One of the coolest moments of my childhood.
I was 14 that time and also enjoyed that battle vs N
N's theme sounds like a lot of crescendos with little payoff.
(Imo of course)
@@phil2160 agreed. especially later fightning ghetsis
And this is why Smogon needs to make an OUBL.
Ubers is meant to be OUBL
@@ratabreak3902 nah it's more like an OU banlist, which became its own tier. Pokemon in ubers completely destroy Pokemon in OU
@@ratabreak3902 not an OUBL tier but a whole new tier like EU which means EVERY TIME USED i can see shymine sky darkrai or genesect in that tier.
@@ratabreak3902 Ubers is a banlist to all pokemon though, not just exclusive to OU
Did anyone else notice that the 5th gen box legendaries literally had the same stat totals as the 4th gen ones, just slightly rearranged? Reshiram is Dialga with the defense stats swapped and Zekrom is Dialga with the offensive stats swapped.
9:27 I know you meant Primal Groudon but the idea of Primal Kyogre using Overheat is very amusing
kyogre can even learn that move?
Nope. Even then, Primordial Seas completely cancels out all Fire moves.
@@milesstorzillo1039 It doesn't, and it wouldn't want to have any. Fire moves are weakened by rain, so the thought of teaching it any fire type moves is dumb
@@matthewkuscienko4616 unless another pokemon used sunny day after it was sent out and it happened to be a grass type that did it or if apokemon with drought did it but thats too situational and to send a fire type with drought like that would be suicidal unless it outsped it and was trying to finish or cripple it with solar beam.
*Primal* kyogre folks. It doesn't weaken fire moves it prevents them. Also prevents sunny day. Only desolate land stops his rain
Whenever the video starts with the pokemon recieving a lot of hype in it's debut generation you know it's all downhill from there
Reshiram is not a bad Pokemon it’s actually very decent. The problem is that it suffers badly from the competition and many good Dragons exist now at this point . And the fact that the Metagame is not kind to its typing
Dragon/Fire is excellent offensively in Gen 5 but it’s just average now in Gen 6 and beyond thanks to Fairies
You have a better chance of killing something with Ho-ohs brave bird rather than Reshirams Draco Meteor
Rayquaza(especially mega) wants to know your location
Reshiram really got the short end of the stick here poor boy. At least it's brother Zekrom is a top tier Ubers threat especially with DD.
Also can we just take a moment to appreciate how great Reshiram's design is? That White body with red energy pulsing on it's tail is freakin' cool!!
Gotta say that Reshiram is still incredibly cool to me
The fact that Reshiram's shiny isnt black makes me angry
So Zekrom shiny should be white? Reshiram goes to black? Lol
Shiny Resh should have Zekrom's color scheme and vice versa
Yeah ignore all the other differences aside from the color. You are the master designer.
A lot of shinies are sadly very lack luster ;-;
(Why is shiny houndoom not red)
@@meterothecrow6270 This is a discussion about Shinies, what else is there to talk about other then color?
Sword and shield Reshiram: I'm OP
Crown Tundra Reshiram: Why did that fish have to come back
Also Avalugg:
Alternative title: How OUTCLASSED was Reshiram was actually?
Reshiram was so outclassed and bad in Ubers it was almost consider for OU for a time
Glad that you addressed the Gen 5 legendaries cool af origins. Instead of calling them bad because 'Black and white legendaries lmao they suck"
*cough* MysticUmbreon *cough*
You mean biased gen two fanboy? That username works better for him tbh
Finally, we get to see the Tao Trio in action!
Well, we might have to wait a while before Kyrem gets its own video.
Reshiram: You took everything away from me
Kyeurm-white: Get Good noob
reminds me of the time when the home meta just started, my friend came up with the crazy idea of a scarf Reshiram. I won many a battle with that team. It's heart warming to see it had actual relevance in the metagame afterwards
Man I just hate unviable Ubers if I can’t use them in OU cause they will be too strong.
They need a sub ubers
@@mandalorianhunter1 ubers UU
Yes overoverused
@@rodrigokuszek yes
@@ultimapower6950 under the uber bridge
I'm gonna be honest, Reshiram was always my favorite member of the Tao Trio and one of my favorite Pokemon, ever. Not only because it has an angelic design, or because it was the first Dragon/Fire-Type (My two favorite types of all time). But I mainly loved what it represents: A white fire dragon of truth. A being whose flames are always constant and burns - much like the truth itself. I've always been more of a realist, so I gravitated more towards Reshiram as a result.
Plus, I always felt that Reshiram is the dragon that you were supposed to get in Black and White's story. You're challenging N and his ideals about how humans and Pokemon should be separated, when in reality humans and Pokemon are companions who contribute to each other's growth, thus evolving in our own ways.
Awwww that's cute. I like Reshiram cause it's pretty!!!
“Reshiram is based on yang.”
Reshiram entering a fight: “I’m the Yang, let’s fight!”
Coming soon on a fanfic site near you: Mega Reshiram, design inspired by Yang from RWBY after she goes "Super Saiyan" with a new ability to emulate this. (Something along the lines of increasing the power of its moves based on how much damage it took)
Well...her name DOES translate to Little Sun Dragon...
*YOOO, RWBY REF.!*
This one hurts the most for me. I always liked Reshiram compared to Zekrom & Kyurem. But in " truth " ( no pun attended ), it didn't do well in battle. It's the Flareon situation all over again. I hope it gets some serious boost. Like increasing it's speed, given it Earthquake or something.
Reshiram is one of my FAVORITE Pokemon in the entire game. I always have a hard time deciding between Reshiram, Rayquaza, and Latias for my favorite Dragon type, but Reshiram often comes out on top just for its beautiful design and immense power.
Rashiram looks majestic.
Reshiram is one of my favorite Legendary Pokémon. It's so majestic looking. Sad to see it having such a rough time in competitive play.
Reshiram : *Powerful Uber Pokemon for once*
Other Ubers : "Coming to your location soon"
Reshiram : *Shoved back into the shadow realm*
Charizard: Who are you?
Reshiram: I am a shadow... the true self!
Any time the video starts with a bunch of insane damage calculations you know full well there's a "however" coming up
Honestly one of my favorite designs for a pokemon, really clean and elegant, they kinda over did it with kyurem white tbh
The idea of kyurem white's design is that it's a fusion freakshow.
Ikr
It looks like a rober chicken but more ugly
How overdesigned would normal Kyurem be given White Kyurem’s and Black Kyurem’s designs?
i mean u cant expect a freak of nature to be as clean and elegant as reshiram
At least Kyurem White was in Ubers while Kyurem Black was in OU.
I mean, yeah, if you ignore Kyurem White had one generation of usability and and Kyurem Black is at worst decent in OU.
Kyurem Black should never have been in OU
@@shirshanyaroy287 before gen 8 it had only 3 viable Physical moves, 1 non STAB and the others both Dragon moves, and no boosting move while also being weak to stealth rock.
Gen 8 gifted it Icicle Spear, a physical ice move, Dragon Dance, a boosting move, and Heavy Duty Boots which let it finally become an Uber.
@@luizfelipevbf5567 even then i am pretty sure it mostly used special moves in gen 8 like freeze dry and fustion flare/earth power
I'm here for every "and in this video, we'll be going over these competitive formats"
So what you're saying is that Reshiram is the exclusive member of the OU BL club?
He shares it with Zamazenta-Crowned, Genesect and Darkrai post nerf.
@@luizfelipevbf5567 don't forget Dawn Wings Necrozma and Solgaleo
We can throw in Deo-N as well. Literally has no niche that isn't already filled by Deo-A (unless you really REALLY wanted a second Deo-A for some dumb reason), but slightly weaker Deo-A has zero business in OU.
And now Magearna's been banned from OU
@@UpsetWizard wait fr??
Man, this video was truly a roller coaster ride with extreme highs and deep lows.
Kellen: "... yes even Arceus bug..."
Me: "They're doing it... they're working on Arceus's video!"
Breaks my heart how much worse Reshiram’s models are than the Gen 5 sprite
They aren’t worse it’s just that they don’t include the red fire glow in the model which sucks
It’s only when attacking I think and due to the camera moving you can’t even see it
Gen 6 7 8 makes him look like a pigeon
Gen 5 trually makes him a legendry
I guess I never realized we never had a Dragon/Fire Pokémon until Reshiram, but unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations, still a cool design though.
As someone who liked Zekrom more than Reshiram, I felt bad for how it struggled in Ubers.
it was supposed to be charizard perfected, and ended up being barely better if at all
It is Charizard perfected. It is just as bad as Charizard (maybe even worse) but with a cooler design and a fitting type.
It is like how Bass in Bob and George is the more perfected form of Mega Man, but since Mega Man is usually dumb Bass is even dumber.
@@iantaakalla8180 Reshiram is way better than Charizard, it's far from worse, well unless it's the Megas, but besides the Megas, Reshiram is better
Reshiram still looks hella cool. To this day. Idc what people say.
Maybe it would be great for reshiram to get calm mind. I think it has the tools to effectively use a set with heavy duty boots, substitute, calm mind, roost and blue flare as its only attacking move. It would struggle with ho-oh and xerneas but if used correctly, it would still be a threat
There are a lot of Fire Resists in the Uber Tier ( Mega Ray, Kyogre, Tyranitar , etc)
Reshiram needs more speed and probably and maybe an ability like Drought or Desolete Land
@@bryanc1772 well, that's true. It's hard to actually buff reshiram without changing its stats
Reshiram: I finally found a niche!
Ho-Oh: Not so fast.
It has a niche if transplanted to Generation 1’s game, and maybe not even then depending on how good Moltres and Charizard are
Can we do Zekrom next? He’s my favorite
He probably will
I was gonna make a comment about Zekrom being referred as gender-neutral since most legendaries are genderless, though referring to Zekrom as 'he' is fitting since Zekrom is associated with Yin, which includes masculinity
@@sebarsht12 no it includes femininity. Yang is masculinity
@@sebarsht12 I’ve called Zekrom “he” since I watched the movie as a kid. Even if “it” was the correct pronunciation, I’d probably have a hard time changing it
@@B_A-tr You're right.
Last time I was this early, people thought Gen 5 was the worst Gen ever
I still don't like Gen 5
@@flyforce16 wow, just wow
@@flyforce16 the main reason i dont like gen 5 is because the amount of pokemon that have to evolve at ridiculous levels
Gen 5 is cool but the anime didn’t do it justice
Not a fan of that gen, XY were much better story and challenge wise.
Welcome to another episode of "why speed is so important!"
And typing
This legendary dragon is a powerful engine of destruction. Virtually invincible, very few have faced this awesome creature and lived to tell the tale.
But reshiram uses fire not lightning
Kanna from dragon maid
Honestly, I kinda hope to see a “How good was Bronzong actually.” one day. I’d say it’s pretty damn good in the right hands.
I hate playing against in gen 4 honestly
My favorite joke about Reshiram comes from Mah-Dry Bread.
He called it "Blue Eyes No Creativity"
Look how cool that sprite is when it lights up! Man we lost so much personality moving to the current 3D models 😢
Amazing to see the consistency and increase in quality over the years. Well done.
I have waited 2- no, 3000 years for this!
Is that reference to Blue Eyes White Dragon intentional?
I was expecting this video to be the Trick room one.
Charizard: Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru
Reshiram: NANI!?!?!?
16:37 "Unable to keep up with Yahveltal"
he's beginning to believe
It makes me sad how my favorite Pokémon is a special attacker that gets outdone in special attack by a physical attacker.
"even Arceus-Bug"
Man, that hurts.
By extension, that means Gen 7-8 Darkrai too. Yikes.
I remember blunders Tweet thinking that Resh should be tested in OU, the thought process is that blacephelon has a higher SPA, and sun isn’t reliable, sun like dat
I wish there was a tier between OU/Uber
So the pokemon who barely get banned to Ubers and untiered ubers can get some use
I think that would be cool. Ban Groudon, Kyogre, Xern, Yveltal, Cal-S, Ho-oh, Good Arci, etc. and see what happens.
A tier where Arceus-Ice is merely outclassed rather than untiered.
How about OUBL?
Maybe like SU for super used. The problem is that Ubers is a ban lost and should operate under its own tier.
Actually it should be called UUUB. Underused Ubers.
Reshiram has always been my favorite pokemon because it wants a world of truth. I have dealt with so many people that are full of lies, making me love Reshiram even more. I do not normally want to watch the full video, but this time I will.
Yeh shut up kid
If everyone told the truth the world would be awful
@@DirtyBobBojangles woah what's with the hate
Don’t lol
Doesn't matter to me how good or bad Reshiram is, it will always be my favourite pokemon
I never paid any attention to how the boxart legendaries are doing in ubers aside from murmurs about Zamazenta-C being dropped to OU soon, but to hear that Reshiram is the worst of the bunch is news to me.
Reshiram and Gible are a vibe love their idle stance
Oh hey, it's Justin-RPG's wife.
Was waiting for this comment
LOVE
I was hoping the background music would be the fire drum loop. You know which drum loop.
This was my first thought when I saw it. I also think about Justin when I see Moltras and I wish I didn't :(
It's ok Reshiram. You're still my favorite legendary!
I find funny that either one of the box art legendarys of these games is good like:
Zekrom > Reshiram
Black Kyurem < White Kyurem
Also
Lugia > Ho-oh
Kyogre > Groundon
Dialga > Palkia < Giratina
Xerneas > Yveltal (sadly. Yveltal is so much cooler)
Solgaleo < Lunala
Dusk Mane Necrozma > Dawn Wings Necrozma
Zacian > Zamazenta
@@goldenhydreigon4727 Ho oh is currently I mean ever since it gained regenerator was better than Lugia,
Yeah Kyogre better than Groudon but Primal Groudon better than Primal Kyogre
Currently Palkia is the best Uber in creation trio followed by Giratina , Currently even though Xerneas is Top tier Yveltal is better thankks to HDB
@madaraa uchiha I am not saying Reshiram is Garbo! I like Reshiram
But what it comes to competitive use its outclassed by others!
Its not Bad per say!
Can’t wait for the Zekrom video.
5 generations to make a fire-dragon. Ok Gamefreak
9 Generations to make a Bug/Dragon even after several Dragon/damselflies?
*sobs*
@@CigaretteCrayon if they do put a bug/dragon pokemon in gen 9, that is
@@CigaretteCrayon or a plant / fire
@@CigaretteCrayon Poor Yamega yet pokémon based on dragon slugs, dragon fruit and skyscrapers get the dragon typing.
Gotta love that inconsistent "idealism".
Man, this was a depressing episode. Glad it got a moment in the spotlight in Gen 8 at least. Honestly, just make it worse so it can go to OU.
Me too man. *The poor floofy*
It would destroy the teir and get ban
Reshiram was always a decent Pokemon. The problem is that the generation changes and the Pokemon surrounding it are not kind to it’s typing and what it brings to the table.
Why use it over P-Groudon? It also has no trouble against Kyogre and Xerneas unlike Reshiram
Fire/Dragon is still amazing in Gen 5 but it’s average now in Gen 6. dragon STAB is mediocre with Fairies type
Want a special attacking Dragon? Use Eternatus or Dialga Better. Both are less weak to hazards have more resistances and stats than Reshiram
Wait for Gen 9s insane Power Creep and then you'll get your OU Reshiram dream. Until it gets outclassed by something else again rip
@@snarls3760 hmmmm not really look at something like blacephlone in GEN 8 it was UUBL even having better offensice stats then reshiram only niche i can see reshiram have in OU is being a wall breaker for sun teams as his blue flare is unstopablle
absolutely love seeing more indepth reviews on the gen 8 meta seeing as 3 shifts have passed already. hope to see more in the future
And to think JustinRPG has dedicated his life to a pokemon this bad
The whole "Reshidead Ramdemption 2" joke actually stung.
Reshiram Gen 8 is one of the reasons I was for 'dexit'. It gave Pokémon time to shine when they normally wouldn't.
"Watch in horror as Heatran dies switching in"
Oh god how I wished that was true. It would have been hilarious
Spiffing brit just released the next RUclips algorithm analysis. So shorts are completely broken for sub growth and I think you guys have the perfect content for shorts. Random pokémon facts or notable placements in 27 seconds sounds great.
