      I got something better about Tentacool and Tentacruel for ya. Can you tell me a game or cartoon/anime where jellyfish aren't depicted using electricity that isn't Pokèmon? Yeah it only occured to me when I was watching some Jellicent and Frillish in Sword. Tentacool and Tentacruel are jellyfish and they are water/poison type unlike Jellicent/Frillish who are ghost/electric (I think. I know they aren't poison) and also jellyfish. Jellyfish in real life don't have electricity like electric eels. They inject a poison with their stingers. I thought that was cool that they were depicted more accurately. They could have easily made Tentacool and Tentacruel electric type instead.

    You should really consider using Lord Helix, Kabutops, Primeape, and Pinsir. These Pokemon are too underrated and they can pull through. Pinsir is surprisingly bulky being able to tank at least two super effective physical moves. Omastar can actually be a good sweeping pokemon as well as Kabutops. Primeape is just overall kinda fun he hits really hard and makes me feel op when I have it.

    3:44 I choose to argue about Clefable. While it definitely reached its best in Generation 6, I think it actually became viable back in Generation 4, when it gained the Magic Guard ability. Pair that with its toolbox move pool, and you have something that can get you through the game. Plus, it’s easier to catch than Munchlax. Duh.
    7:21 But it’s great as a catcher in later games. Spore + False Swipe = THANK YOU!
    8:16 Are you forgetting the relationship between Speed and Critical Hits in Generation 1? That’s when Kantonian Dugtrio was at its best, man!
    13:17 Plus, catching a Chansey in the old days was the ULTIMATE test of patience. I only managed it ONCE, in GSC, in order to trade for Aerodactyl. Literally decades ago.

      It is indeed good, but it just requires a lot of grinding. Not a bad thing but my issue with it was that at least in leafgreen/FireRed that the move power points were really troublesome. Seriously like it gets scratch and low kick. If you want to use it for Brock then you are stuck to train in like 3 routes. All there is are Spearow, Pidgey, Weedle, Caterpie, Kakuna, Metapod, Pikachu, and Rattata. Most of these either take little damage from fighting types or they are just hard to survive attacks from. The only thing you could really train against it consistently is Rattata or Caterpie. To get a remotely good fighting type move you would have to grind like 6 - 10 levels or so to get karate chop.

    In my first silver playthrough I caught a bellsprout not knowing I'd never be able to evolve it into a victreebel. But that thing was a beast. Maybe no johto gym leaders are weak to grass per se, but weepinbell got me through the elite 4 and champion. I don't think she was even especially over leveled. In my next kanto playthrough, I made sure I caught another bellsprout, because if weepinbell was good enough for late game how good was victreebel? Very. It basically carried. Victreebel has been securely my 4th favorite pokemon ever since.

  • @supremeking1730
    @supremeking1730 Год назад +30

    To be fair, Victreebel is actually really useful against Chuck's Poliwrath since it resists both its stab types. I actually kept a Victreebel on my team for about the whole game in my first ever playthrough of Soul Silver, and it did pretty well overall. Side note, I really appreciated how Soul Silver added the pokeathlon dome as a way to get evolution stones before the post game, which helped a ton of pokemon be more viable in playthroughs. In Gold and Silver, you can't get a Leaf, Water, Fire, or Thunder Stone until you're in the Kanto region, which means you can't use Poliwrath, Arcanine, Ninetales, Victreebel, Vileplume, Starmie, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, or Cloyster for your main playthrough, even all of those pokemon's previous evolutions can be obtained in the Johto region. Also, I have Diamond, but on my first playthrough, I did the whole game without a fire type at all since I picked Turtwig, and I regretted nothing.

    • @frankcaggiano8282

      That's not true at all. You can get leaf, fire, and water stones from specific npc's in Johto, when they call you on the poke gear there's a chance they offer you an evolution stone. Picknicker south of Goldenrod for leaf stone, fisher west of Mahogany for water stone, and the fire stone don't remember which pc exactly off the top of my head. It could take several hours to get one, but you absolutely CAN access those stones in Johto!

    Your channel mascot with a Hail form got me thinking about my custom Pokémon region, complete with 120 new 'mons including regional forms and new evolutions for preexisting Pokémon.
    Of course, the dex isn't finished yet, but I thought maybe I can make an evolution for Castform based on your channel mascot. I call it:
    CASTSTORM: Normal/Electric
    Ability: Storm Warning - Works the same as Castform's Forecast ability where its form changes based on weather, featuring a Rain Form (Water/Electric), Sunny Form (Fire/Electric), Hail/Snow Form (Ice/Electric), and now even a Sandstorm Form (Ground/Electric)
    What's more is that Caststorm comes with two signature moves: Meteorology (name subject to change) and Superstorm.
    Meteorology is a Normal Type Status move that changes the weather to a random condition, allowing Caststorm to transform whenever it damn well feels like. This may be a bad move, but it could be great. Who knows?
    Superstorm is guaranteed to be great, however. It's an Electric Type move that, depending on the weather, gains an extra type effectiveness. So not only will it be super effective against Water, but it can also be super effective against Grass, Bug, Ice, Steel, etc during Sunlight; Steel, Poison, Fire, etc in Sandstorms; Grass, Ground, etc during Hail; and Ground, Rock, Fire, etc during Rain.
    Can I get a "Hail Yeah!"?

    Parasect is good for shiny hunting since it can damp as a hidden ability and can learn false swipe. That's like, the only thing though.

      Don't forget spore (the only guaranteed to hit sleep move).

    I have to admit, this is one of the few videos when I actually watch the ad, besides Deathknight is also hilarious.

    Looking at the original 151, I’ve never used the birds, Mewtwo or Mew, Dragonite, or the fossils for a playthrough. Maybe I’ll do an all-Legends playthrough.
