Mystic still I think overqwill should have been in the overrated list its not good Not that good coverage and no physical dark type I want to use it too but can't
You dont even have to use the skip you need to get Goodra early (but that gives you Torterra right away) but can just circle around the lake. Its quite the distance from the next port point but you can reach it normally right away
For real. I used the jump at the last minute to dash across the river right across the alpha hippo. I swam for about 2 sec but that's not enough to drown you.
You can get turtwig in the second area before getting to area 3 it's at that corner map you just need to get pass the diamond clan area go around the lake and keep going till you get to a small pond and they spawn there
You can get togekiss pretty early if you use wierdeer to climb up the volcano type area in the first region. it's flying up there and once you get wing balls you can just spam it's breakout animation until you catch it.
You can actually straight up catch Togekiss south of Lake Verity as soon as you have access to Feather Balls and Wyrdeer. I used it as a placeholder team member before I caught Gabite, which I only chose to deal with Electric-types.
I would say that Scizor is the best bug type pokemon, Bug/Steel > Bug/Rock imo. Its very easy to get a steel coat and you can get scyther early in the game. I would want to consider Hisuian Zoroark for best ghost and best normal type, its just unfortunately so late into the game that there's better options to continue using throughout playthroughs, (I can see it as an excellent contender for Nuzlocke teams however.)
I would agree, especially when you consider that even back in gen 4, Scizor was the better bug. Both do the most with their movepools, but Scizor's typing gives it an edge due to how it gives scizor nice immunities and resistances. Personally I'd say Scizor > Heracross > Kleavor. For H-Zoroark, I think it depends on whether it can get what it needs from its movepool and how worth the wait he is
Hard disagree, metal coats are extremely rare and unreliable to obtain. I have been in so many distortions trying to shiny hunt the starters and only obtained 2 of them.
I'm just saying what I have experienced, we can probably check how many items spawn per distortion and the probability of them doing so. I'm just saying that in what must be in the triple digits at this point I have 4 dozen protectors and only a few Metal Coats.
Returning satchels massively increases its obtainability since returning satchels is a sure fire way to get them by saving up MP. Might involve a small bit of grinding but I’ve actually found it to be a pretty quick process.
Few things, you CAN get turtwig before basculegion. It's not easy, but with soem fancy cliff climbing with wyredeer you can get it before going to the coast. Roserade IS still better, but it's at least there. ursaluna is the best ground imo. the sheer COVERAGE available to it with play rough, all the elemental punches, shadow claw, rockslide/stone edge,it's unique "close combat but ground". It also doesn't have a x4 weakness and beign immune to ghost is BIG in the final fight. For me its is NOT close for best ground. For bug i quite like yanmega. Available early, no item needed to evolve, gets JUST enough good options from move tutors/level up(Bug buzz, air slash, shadow ball, psychic, ancient power. Not sure i'd say it's better than heracross, but it is still good
You don't even need fancy cliff climbing, just grab some stealth spray and smoke bombs, go around the lake in the crimson mirelands instead of trying to cross the river, and head for the south-east corner of the map. That little hidden pond down there has Turtwig and Grotle (maybe even torterra?) spawn on the south side, and it is _entirely_ possible to go around the pond on its west side - just chuck some smoke at the pathway first, spray yourself down, and go slow so you don't slip.
I mean rhyperior also has good coverage including the elemental punches, but even then Ursaluna is far better. It's got the better type, it actually has some special bulk, hits equally hard, is almost as physically bulky as rhyperior, and is slightly faster.
It's weird that you so easily throw out the argument about all the 4x weaknesses for Rhyperior not being enough to exclude it from being the best ground type over something like Ursaluna because that's a HUGE DEAL in a game where speed and type advantage is king. Not to mention the fact that water and grass types and attacks are PLENTIFUL in Hisui to the point that even Alpha Rhyperiors go down in one shot from an energy ball or a hydro pump even without STAB. Plus, with the changes to the way Pokemon trainer battles occur in the game you're not likely to get more than one attack off (assuming you survive the first) because the opponent can just switch in and still have the turn advantage over you.
For a Rock and Ground type I feel that Golem is overlooked. It is awailable very early, has great stats and coverage: Bulldoze, Rockslide, Fire punch and Thunder punch
I am so surprised that Lilligant isn’t number 1 for the grass type, considering how incredibly broken it is. Granted, the x4 weakness to Flying is big, but you rarely would send any grass types out against Flying types anyway. The signature move Victory Dance is so strong, it’s impossible to turn down. It grants boosts your attack stats, defence stats, plus gives you 50% extra damage- which is incredible. If you use it first turn (Agile Style, as it’s essentially no different and possibly allows you to move twice) there is essentially no counter. You can use Drain Punch to get back any HP the opponent chips off, or immediately use Close Combat if you get to move twice. Leaf Blade is also a great STAB grass move you can use, and a great (and only) option for a grass move. The biggest problem, of course, is the shallow move pool. The only physical coverage it has access to is Poison Jab, Aerial Ace and Giga Impact. Giga Impact is probably the best candidate, as there is no cooldown after, but it’s still really shallow and certainly leaves more to be desired.
Liligant is why I have some trouble with this video. Don't get me wrong, Roserade is great. But I think it's unfair to knock Liligant for its movepool when it has some amazing tools at its disposal and makes the most out of it
Roserade is overrated. H Lilligant is ARGUABLY the best grass fighting type in the game. Her victory dance and drain punch combination is amazing. She is fast and powerful despite her weakneeses. Ever tried arcanine? Powerful!!!
Best list I’ve seen. Zoroark is just better than gengar. Immense special attack, good speed and bitter malice is god tier against certain Pokémon. If zoroark could get psychic would probably be a top5 Pokémon
I caught Alpha Scyther early early and was gonna evolve it to Scizor but didn’t realize how easy it was to get the Black Antherite or whatever. Used Kleavor through Cobalt and he was a beast.
Black Augurite, and yeah, as some one who also used an alpha kleavor (no kidding, early in the game i caught that alpha scyther that's near kleavor's arena) that bug is a monster because surprisingly: rock is actually one of the most useful types in this game
I feel Sneasler is being overlooked here. Close Combat with Dire Claw, Swords Dance, and Shadow Claw for coverage against it's X4 weakness is pretty insane.
@@PedroBernardini91 I agree with this. I am using him in my team to help complete the pokedex. He's my false swiper. Has the highest attack of anyone who can learn that move.He is fast and bulky, hits like a truck and can take hits reasonably well. I like Sneasler a lot. As soon as you get into the alabaster icelands you can catch an alpha sneasel really early in that area and you're pretty much good from there as long as you have a razor claw by that point which you probably do. If not sneasels typically drop one when you defeat them.
I still hold H-Lilligant as the best grass type in this game. Fast, powerful, and the 2nd best utility move in Victory Dance. Only Shelter is better, and that one is a purely defensive boost. With Agile Victory Dance, Lilligant's next attack is going to one shot anything that doesn't resist, and even then. Its coverage is small and its movepool isn't as good as Roserade's but it kinda doesn't need that good coverage. Leaf Blade, Drain Punch/Close Combat, Poison Jab/Giga Inpact, and Victory Dance is a solid set of moves. And if you don't need a third attack outside of your STABs, then you can stick in a status move like Stun Spore or Sleep Powder or even Recover if you're running Close Combat... Lilligant is amazing! Roserade is a fine special counterpart for it though
i've used lilligant too and she is really good, while I will say that grass is really bad in this game (seriously: bug, flying and poison types are everywhere, plus grass doesnt do well against any of the boss fights) lilligant is one of the exceptions as she's a real powerhouse mine has close combat, leaf blade, poison jab and victory dance on top of being an alpha, and she does some good work when she can
@@leandroizotonlorencette5726 indeed she is, while her move pool is limited (seriously her only coverage move is poison jab) she can work with what she's been given
You mention early game availability as an inclusion criteria - but when you face the final boss in games you almost always have access to all Pokémon except legendaries. Later obtained Pokémon tend to have a higher level at acquisition, so it takes less work to level them up. In future maybe include late game Pokémon, to help plan the best possible team to fight the hardest boss?
Oh, for sure. Agile Victory Dance is by far the best move to use- free defence, attack boosts and another 50% attack increase. Whatever the NPC uses to attack it with can be healed back pretty easily with Drain Punch. It has access to Close Combat too, which makes it that much better and picks up OHKOs missed by Drain Punch.
Nah only mysticumbreon highly underrates it. Everybody else including me says it’s one of the best pokemon in the game. There’s literally no reason to use decidueye as long as lilligant exists.
@@Marowakie Was a bit reluctant to use her with her 4x weakness to flying (and a few other common weaknesses) but omg she is so broken especially with a jolly nature you can get in an agile victory dance quite often for free
@@Marowakie Tbh I Can't Deny That Liligant Is Better Than Decidueye, But I Also Can't Deny That I'm Prob Gonna Use Decidueye On my Team Anyway. Imo It Has the Best Design Out of the 3 Starters, Has a Amazing Signature Move In Triple Arrow That Works Well With It's High Crit Chance Moves Like Leaf Blade and Psycho Cut, and Has Some Pretty Decent Stats As a Bulky Physical Attacker
Togetic was always flying in that location of Mirelands, where one finds it, before you even had access to basculegion as long as you had a feather or jet ball you could catch it.
Making another comment but here's my thoughts on the best per type: Dragon: Hisuian Goodra Steel: Hisuian Goodra Grass: split between Roserade and Liligant. The latter may not have a wide movepool, but she has nearly everything she wants and makes the most out of it, I can't ignore that just for the sake of movepool. Poison: Roserade. Gengar is quite frail already and the ground weakness is rather critical considering how widespread ground moves are. Ghost: Gengar, because he's easier to get early than Frosslass Fire: Infernape Fight: Infernape. Whilst I could say that Liligant has a similar situation as with Roserade, Infernape is slightly better as it's too dominant. Bug: Scizor, it has better resistances and immunities than Heracross. Rock: Rhypherior Ground: Ursaluna. Not only is Rypherior slower, it has a 4x weakness where it's in trouble even from non stab grass and water moves. You can't ignore that in close comparisons. Normal: Ursaluna Fairy: Gardevoir Psychic: Gardevoir. Mostly because of the better typing Water: Definitely Samurott Dark: Weavile. Samurott has nice stats and a nice movepool to go around with, but Weavile's movepool and stats really speak for themselves here. Very powerful and hard to deal with due to the battle system. Ice: Weavile because of how easy it is to get him compared to Frosslass Electric : Luxray, because he's earlier available despite Electivire being faster. Flying: Togekiss, though you can make the argument that Staraptor doesn't need a wide movepool because it has the tools to perform its role
If you do some moon jumping in the obsidian fieldlands right next to where you find Snorlax. Make it all the way to the top left of the mountain and you can spam feather balls and catch Togikiss right away.
Togekiss was available flying over lake verity, and just leveled it off from there. chose to also get gardevoir (alpha from the icelands) because the hypnosis move saved me a few times.
It felt SO good to see some of my team members on the list, love them!! (Here's my team if literally anyone is curious) 1) Typhlosion 2) Luxray 3) Gastrodon 4) Roserade (Alpha) 5) Goodra 6) Alolan Ninetails (Also if anyone has any move pool recommendations, I'd love to hear them because the post-game battle is absolutely demolishing me ;u;)
If you care to. Swap in Cresselia, use it's recovery move over and over and damn near solo the Volo. Then just smash the Giratina with a strong dark type. I used Umbreon.
I’m surprised sneasler never entered the conversation for best poison or fighting type. It’s incredibly fast and strong, and has good coverage. It’s really easy to pull off an agile swords dance and do massive damage with it
I think a part of what prevents Sneasler from entering the conversation is its inability to do what poison does best, take care of fairies. Its weak to both Ground and Flying which are two very common offensive types.
@@miscellaneoof Fair, I personally don't think infernape should be the best fighting type either. I can say at the least Sneasler would be a runner up for the poison type. I say take care of Fairies because it is unable to switch into a moonblast as a resisted attack but I will say to your benefit, Sneasler out-speeds Enamorus allowing it to take the KO.
Poor Garchomp and Gliscor got nerfed hard without their access to Earthquake or a reliable physical ground move. I never thought I see the day where you actually consider Luxray as a good option though. XD
@@Hargazer Tell me about. First, he STILL can’t be used in BDSP until postgame and now he doesn’t have access to one of his bread and butters. Sinnoh really hates this cool flying scorpion.
I think a lot of the item evolution pokemon have an edge the minute space time distortions can happen. I had the link cable , protector and the porygon items so fast after a few of these. I’ve used both Rhyperior and Ursaluna in the game and I have to give it to Rhyperior. Both his stabs just seem to be more useful overall and in my luck he just was wayyy easier to evolve then Ursaluna
Hisuiin Goodra was the rock star of my team during my playthrough. I had to pull off a perfectly angled jump on Wydeer to get to the area where Goomy was before having access to Basculegion and it was beyond worth it. Garchomp who?? ;-)
I personally think Ursaluna is the stronger Ground type than Rhyperior. Not only because it has less weakness but also because Ursaluna has more powerful stab moves. Moves like Giga Impact doesn’t have the recharge time in Legends Arceus unlike in other mainline games so you can easily spam a 120 normal type attack with no negative effects. Plus your stuck with a Ryhorn until level 42 while you can a Ursaring at level 30 until you find a Peat Block.
I came here to see if Goodra was going to be in here, and seeing it as the best for both Dragon and Steel AND even considering it one of the best pokemon in the game (easy to see) made me happy. I love Hisuian Goodra ever since I got my shiny from an outbreak
Had the majority of my team already put together and worked up with I watched this. Of the 6, 3 are on my team, 2 were mentioned as good alternatives/runner ups. The 1 that wasn’t mentioned: steelix. I’m a fan of steelix in my party as he’s really good for soaking up attacks and can still dish out some epic rock and ground moves.
It’s a broken Pokémon. Can one shot steel types with the heaviest of defense. Glass canon but the heaviest hitting fighting type in the game, not even close.
4:57 didn’t you yourself reference the ability to cross rivers without Basculegion in the best team video? Or is Turtwig’s neck of the woods not jumpable with Wyrdeer?
I'm biased to Gen 1 Pokémon but Infernape is prob my fav Pokémon.. not sure if you have done a guide on how to select nature's for your Pokémon, this would be great!
These are my move sets for all the Hisuian starters if they were to appear in future games: Chen the Hisuian Decidueye: - Leaf Blade - Aura Sphere - Shadow Claw - Acrobatics Sakai the Hisuian Typhlosion: - Flamethrower - Shadow Ball - Solar Beam - Focus Blast Aku the Hisuian Samurott: - Liquidation - Night Slash - Poison Jab - Psycho Cut
Hisuian goodra is my favorite arceus Pokémon so hearing it being praised like this is absokutely amazing. I have my shiny alpha goodra waiting to be transferred to scarlet/violet so I can run rampant on conpetitive
I know they’re not as powerful as others (and maybe a little overrated) but I can’t ignore umbreon and sylveon. Both are absolute tanks who can take hits that would 1-shot anyone else and sylveon has amazing coverage. That and you can get them extremely early. I’ll always love having them
I think Rotom should be the best electric type. Rotom is electric and ghost type capable to adapt with new typing with his forme and his possibility to switch forme to get good coverage move and switch his typing. The best forme is probably the water or the fire type variant.
I Think Rotom Deserves a Place As Best Electric Type. There is A lot of Ways To Use Rotom Offensively and Defensively Due to The Many Forms It Has, Making It Pretty Easy to Fit on a Team For Your Needs. I Also Think Thunder Wave and Hex is a Very Dangerous Combo That Can Devastate Opponents, Especially if you Go Agile Style Into a Strong Style. While Getting the Mechanical Items Needed to Do This Can be a Hassle, Due to the Many Ways to Make Money and The Easy Way to Reset Ginter's Items, It Shouldn't Be Too Much of a Problem. Luxray Can be a Temporally Member Before you Get Rotom At the Coronet Highlands, Which At Pretty Common At Stonetooth Rows At Night. They Will Be Around Lvl 43-46, So It Will Match Up With The Lvls Of your Current Pokémon At That Point in the Game. I Do Agree That Luxray is a Good Electric Type, I Think Rotom Had a Chance to Have a Place On It's Throne for The Best Electric Type Pokemon In PLA.
Liligant is def better than roserade. Victory dance is blatantly broken. Only advantage roserade has is fairy and ghost coverage vs liligants fighting, but that doesn’t really matter tbh, you can cover ghost and fairy with a fairy type Pokémon
Just wanted to come here and plug Whiscash - you can get the party going in Crimson Mireland, and zen head butt, mud bomb (into earth power) and some water in the mix really did a lot of heavy lifting for me.
you need basculegion to get turtwig...but you can also get alpha torterra pretty early if you have the right team to knock it low enough to catch just learn to swim LOL You could also get togekiss in the first area as soon as you get wyrdeer which is really busted as well as happiny/blissey which is a nice normal type to carry over until ursaluna as well as Gyarados if people didn’t go for samurott
Not arguing torteras placement but you don’t need basculegion to get it. There is a little alcove all the way at the bottom of mirelands that always spans a turtwig ( and rarely it’s 1st evolution). Hell you don’t even need basculegion to get to holm of trials just a pretty easy but good jump from wrydeer.
I think you’re wrong about Rhiperior because 2 extremely common 4 times weaknesses from enemies that are almost unilaterally faster than you and have a colossal arsenal of special moves that you have NO answer to is not an insignificant problem. The issue isn’t just the 2 4x weaknesses, it’s the fact that there is no way to deal with it other than to just not use it. It has the same issue as Hisuian Avalug; amazing defensive tank as long as you don’t have a special steel or fighting move but with the added issue that firstly water type is the most common and grass coverage moves are equally common. Secondly, super luck honchcrow.
Dark and Steel-types are both surprisingly sparse in Hisui(though the steel types make sense from a lore standpoint), but even more-so if you’re specifically talking *good* Dark or Steel-types that can actually serve the purpose you’d be adding them to your team for. If I remember correctly, aside from Goodra, Empoleon and Lucario are the only two particularly usable Steel-types that don’t come from a Spacetime Distortion, and they’re both late-ish encounters in the game. With Dark-Types there’s at least a little more leeway for reasonably useable options depending on how you want to play. Mystic chose Samurott(which I largely agree with) but there’s a bunch of other options including: Drapion Umbreon Weavile Overqwil Spiritomb(but only if you’re literally insane) and Honchkrow
Here is the best of each type imo Normal: Ursaluna Fire: Infernape Water: Samurott/Empoleon(both starters lol) Grass: Lilligant Electric: Magnezone/luxray (depends on if you want to hunt distortions or not) Poison: Gengar Ground: Ursaluna Rock: Kleavor Bug: Kleavor Flying: Togekiss Fighting: Lilligant Psychic: Alakazam/gardevoir (they are both equally good imo) Ghost: Gengar/Zoroark (Zoroark is late but is much better than gengar so if you are willing to wait it is worth it, otherwise use gengar) Ice: Weavile/Mamoswine (you either do distortions or wait till the late game the other ice types are equally as late or suck) Dragon: Goodra Steel: Goodra (busted pokemon) Dark: Samurott/Weavile/Drapion (You either pick samurott as a starter, distortion hunt, or just get drapion. All 3 are good) Fairy: Togekiss/Gardevoir(either works its your preference)
The battle changes really changed how I picked Pokemon, most of the time, boosting moves aren't that good in this game because you can get attacked multiple times so easily. The Pokemon that have been the most helpful in my playthrough are Hisuian Goodra, Snorlax, Infernape and Crobat. Poison attacks are super common weirdly so having a steel type or a poison type like Crobat, has been extremely useful.
Boosting moves imo are quite strong, if you have a base speed of 80+ and the way status conditions works now shouldn't be overlooked such as frostbite reducing special attack or drowsiness increasing damage taken
I'd argue Jolteon is the best Electric type instead of Luxray. It's available at the start of the game, it has better stats, it has some usage with Calm Mind, it's not hard to get a Thunder Stone, and I feel that anything Luxray can do, other Pokémon can do better. So yeah, my stance is on Jolteon as the best Electric type.
Its movepool is holding it back. Jolteon only has Electric, Ghost and Normal for Special Attacks, and it doesn't even learn Thunderwave which is really useful in this game. Utility is also limited to just Baby-Doll Eyes for offensive drop, or if you get lucky at Mimic'ing something good. On the other hand, Luxray has Electric, Fire, Ice, Steel, Fairy, Dark, has utility on Thunderwave and Snarl, and the elemental fangs also have the benefit of giving you a bit of action speed, which often let you take 2 turns without Agile, despite having a lower Speed stat. Then again, Luxray is still not the best since Electivire exists, although being available from the start was probably the reason Luxray took the spot over Electivire.
Why wasn’t zoruark considered for ghost? It has stats that are comparable to gengar and only has one weakness due to typing. It’s a better ghost in my opinion
As for my opinion on Hearacross Or Kleaver? The answer is simple : Scizor, your crazy if you don’t think this guy is at least a contender , with psycho cut, close combat , X-scissor, and iron head / Arieal Ace, he’s able to deal with a ton of off types my core Pokémon either don’t have the coverage for , or as back up to fainted members of the party. I wasn’t surprised you didn’t mention it though out of every team ranking video, and even the teams covered by you that you picked from commenters scizor was took out.
I feel like the high empasis on being able to play the pokemon mixed is a pretty big mistake. Since you are able to swap out moves all the time, coverage is very simple. What's more important is to make the most of your pokemon, so a 130 special stat with two stabs is better than two 100 split stats.
Agile Style Ice Shard Weavile is absolutely busted in Legends Arceus. Tired of the CPU getting 2-3 turns in a row? Now you too can move 4+ turns with this icicle weasel.
Personally I would say Ursaluna is better than Rhyperior because it doesn’t take super effective damage from as many types as Rhyperior - including ground type moves. Ground type moves are pretty common as well, so Rhyperior having a weakness to one of it’s own typings in this case makes it a bit of a detriment.
There are two reasons I prefer ursaluna over rhyperior. 1. I prefer Ursaluna's design and species, I mean, how are you going to look a teddiursa in the face and say "no".... how are you going to look an Ursaring in the face and say "no".... Ursaluna is like a mix of both. Cute and terrifying. 2. I love it's hight attack and balanced defenses. It can take a super effective hit or two, even from higher level fighting types like Lucario with enough of an attack stat to 1hko almost everything. It also has a lot of coverage. 🤗
I think the best grass type is liligent cause victory dance leaf blade is so insane or victory dance drain punch and it’s damage output and speed is SO GOOD and you also get petill in the crimson mire lands with a little jump with wydeer
I need some recommendations on my team, I wanna know if I need changes. So is this good? Sammurrot ( or whatever his name is ) Luxary Goodra (alpha) Acranine Alakazam Blisseny (idk how to spell her name) I've kinda been thinking about changing blisseny I'm starting the 4th area Edit: and most of them are in the 50-65

I would say that Scizor is the best bug type pokemon, Bug/Steel > Bug/Rock imo. Its very easy to get a steel coat and you can get scyther early in the game. I would want to consider Hisuian Zoroark for best ghost and best normal type, its just unfortunately so late into the game that there's better options to continue using throughout playthroughs, (I can see it as an excellent contender for Nuzlocke teams however.)
I would agree, especially when you consider that even back in gen 4, Scizor was the better bug. Both do the most with their movepools, but Scizor's typing gives it an edge due to how it gives scizor nice immunities and resistances. Personally I'd say Scizor > Heracross > Kleavor.
For H-Zoroark, I think it depends on whether it can get what it needs from its movepool and how worth the wait he is
Hard disagree, metal coats are extremely rare and unreliable to obtain. I have been in so many distortions trying to shiny hunt the starters and only obtained 2 of them.
@@chrisjohnsen8448 your sample size is too small to say that it's very hard to obtain
I'm just saying what I have experienced, we can probably check how many items spawn per distortion and the probability of them doing so. I'm just saying that in what must be in the triple digits at this point I have 4 dozen protectors and only a few Metal Coats.
Returning satchels massively increases its obtainability since returning satchels is a sure fire way to get them by saving up MP. Might involve a small bit of grinding but I’ve actually found it to be a pretty quick process.
Few things, you CAN get turtwig before basculegion. It's not easy, but with soem fancy cliff climbing with wyredeer you can get it before going to the coast. Roserade IS still better, but it's at least there.
ursaluna is the best ground imo. the sheer COVERAGE available to it with play rough, all the elemental punches, shadow claw, rockslide/stone edge,it's unique "close combat but ground". It also doesn't have a x4 weakness and beign immune to ghost is BIG in the final fight. For me its is NOT close for best ground.
For bug i quite like yanmega. Available early, no item needed to evolve, gets JUST enough good options from move tutors/level up(Bug buzz, air slash, shadow ball, psychic, ancient power. Not sure i'd say it's better than heracross, but it is still good
You don't even need fancy cliff climbing, just grab some stealth spray and smoke bombs, go around the lake in the crimson mirelands instead of trying to cross the river, and head for the south-east corner of the map. That little hidden pond down there has Turtwig and Grotle (maybe even torterra?) spawn on the south side, and it is _entirely_ possible to go around the pond on its west side - just chuck some smoke at the pathway first, spray yourself down, and go slow so you don't slip.
I mean rhyperior also has good coverage including the elemental punches, but even then Ursaluna is far better.
It's got the better type, it actually has some special bulk, hits equally hard, is almost as physically bulky as rhyperior, and is slightly faster.
Giratina: **has Aura Sphere**
@@irisrosario5040 well Aura Sphere hits rhyperior.super effectively and does more damage cause rhyperior has no special bulk
It's weird that you so easily throw out the argument about all the 4x weaknesses for Rhyperior not being enough to exclude it from being the best ground type over something like Ursaluna because that's a HUGE DEAL in a game where speed and type advantage is king. Not to mention the fact that water and grass types and attacks are PLENTIFUL in Hisui to the point that even Alpha Rhyperiors go down in one shot from an energy ball or a hydro pump even without STAB. Plus, with the changes to the way Pokemon trainer battles occur in the game you're not likely to get more than one attack off (assuming you survive the first) because the opponent can just switch in and still have the turn advantage over you.
I definitely caught turtwig before getting basculegion… that’s a bad take
For a Rock and Ground type I feel that Golem is overlooked. It is awailable very early, has great stats and coverage:
Bulldoze, Rockslide, Fire punch and Thunder punch
I agree. I have a personal preference for Rhyperior, but I think Golem has a good argument to be made for it
Having Explosion is Fun to Pick off Threats, also golem has Better Special def
I get the feeling that you looked a lot at movepool depth, meaning that Pokémon who het all they need in a limited movepool are looked over
I am so surprised that Lilligant isn’t number 1 for the grass type, considering how incredibly broken it is. Granted, the x4 weakness to Flying is big, but you rarely would send any grass types out against Flying types anyway.
The signature move Victory Dance is so strong, it’s impossible to turn down. It grants boosts your attack stats, defence stats, plus gives you 50% extra damage- which is incredible. If you use it first turn (Agile Style, as it’s essentially no different and possibly allows you to move twice) there is essentially no counter. You can use Drain Punch to get back any HP the opponent chips off, or immediately use Close Combat if you get to move twice. Leaf Blade is also a great STAB grass move you can use, and a great (and only) option for a grass move.
The biggest problem, of course, is the shallow move pool. The only physical coverage it has access to is Poison Jab, Aerial Ace and Giga Impact. Giga Impact is probably the best candidate, as there is no cooldown after, but it’s still really shallow and certainly leaves more to be desired.
FACTS BRO
Whoa, I just caught a shiny Petil the other day, doesn't that evolve into liligant?
@@CorruptPianist Yes
@@CorruptPianist lucky man
Liligant is why I have some trouble with this video. Don't get me wrong, Roserade is great. But I think it's unfair to knock Liligant for its movepool when it has some amazing tools at its disposal and makes the most out of it
Roserade is overrated. H Lilligant is ARGUABLY the best grass fighting type in the game. Her victory dance and drain punch combination is amazing. She is fast and powerful despite her weakneeses. Ever tried arcanine? Powerful!!!
For me
Normal: Ursualna
Flying: Crobat
Dragon/Steel: Goodra (hisusian)
Fairy: Togekiss
Grass: Liligant (hisusian)
Fighting: Infernape
Water: Gyarados
Psychic: Gardevoir
Poison: Gengar
Ghost: Zoroark (hisusian)
Fire: Typholsion (hisusian)
Electric: Electivire
Ice: Froslass
Dark: Weavile
Bug: Kleavor, Heracross I like both.
Ground/Rock: Rhyperior
Nice
Best list I’ve seen. Zoroark is just better than gengar. Immense special attack, good speed and bitter malice is god tier against certain Pokémon. If zoroark could get psychic would probably be a top5 Pokémon
not bad. best team for playthrough
I caught Alpha Scyther early early and was gonna evolve it to Scizor but didn’t realize how easy it was to get the Black Antherite or whatever. Used Kleavor through Cobalt and he was a beast.
Black Augurite, and yeah, as some one who also used an alpha kleavor (no kidding, early in the game i caught that alpha scyther that's near kleavor's arena) that bug is a monster because surprisingly: rock is actually one of the most useful types in this game
Gardevoir will always be a top tier Pokémon in a play through as long as it’s easy to acquire no argument
I feel Sneasler is being overlooked here. Close Combat with Dire Claw, Swords Dance, and Shadow Claw for coverage against it's X4 weakness is pretty insane.
Sneasler is ridiculously good! Drain punch too... I am surprised it didn't get featured on this vid.
@@PedroBernardini91 I agree with this. I am using him in my team to help complete the pokedex. He's my false swiper. Has the highest attack of anyone who can learn that move.He is fast and bulky, hits like a truck and can take hits reasonably well. I like Sneasler a lot. As soon as you get into the alabaster icelands you can catch an alpha sneasel really early in that area and you're pretty much good from there as long as you have a razor claw by that point which you probably do. If not sneasels typically drop one when you defeat them.
I still hold H-Lilligant as the best grass type in this game.
Fast, powerful, and the 2nd best utility move in Victory Dance. Only Shelter is better, and that one is a purely defensive boost. With Agile Victory Dance, Lilligant's next attack is going to one shot anything that doesn't resist, and even then.
Its coverage is small and its movepool isn't as good as Roserade's but it kinda doesn't need that good coverage. Leaf Blade, Drain Punch/Close Combat, Poison Jab/Giga Inpact, and Victory Dance is a solid set of moves.
And if you don't need a third attack outside of your STABs, then you can stick in a status move like Stun Spore or Sleep Powder or even Recover if you're running Close Combat... Lilligant is amazing! Roserade is a fine special counterpart for it though
i've used lilligant too and she is really good, while I will say that grass is really bad in this game (seriously: bug, flying and poison types are everywhere, plus grass doesnt do well against any of the boss fights) lilligant is one of the exceptions as she's a real powerhouse
mine has close combat, leaf blade, poison jab and victory dance on top of being an alpha, and she does some good work when she can
My liligant just solo the whole game with drain punch, leaf blade, victory dance and recover
Lilligant definitely is the best grass type
@@leandroizotonlorencette5726 indeed she is, while her move pool is limited (seriously her only coverage move is poison jab) she can work with what she's been given
Yea, Lilligant with victory dance comes close to breaking the game. Really should be the best grass
You mention early game availability as an inclusion criteria - but when you face the final boss in games you almost always have access to all Pokémon except legendaries. Later obtained Pokémon tend to have a higher level at acquisition, so it takes less work to level them up. In future maybe include late game Pokémon, to help plan the best possible team to fight the hardest boss?
I think Lilligant is highly underrated in this game
Oh, for sure. Agile Victory Dance is by far the best move to use- free defence, attack boosts and another 50% attack increase. Whatever the NPC uses to attack it with can be healed back pretty easily with Drain Punch. It has access to Close Combat too, which makes it that much better and picks up OHKOs missed by Drain Punch.
Nah only mysticumbreon highly underrates it. Everybody else including me says it’s one of the best pokemon in the game. There’s literally no reason to use decidueye as long as lilligant exists.
@@Marowakie Was a bit reluctant to use her with her 4x weakness to flying (and a few other common weaknesses) but omg she is so broken especially with a jolly nature you can get in an agile victory dance quite often for free
@@Marowakie Tbh I Can't Deny That Liligant Is Better Than Decidueye, But I Also Can't Deny That I'm Prob Gonna Use Decidueye On my Team Anyway. Imo It Has the Best Design Out of the 3 Starters, Has a Amazing Signature Move In Triple Arrow That Works Well With It's High Crit Chance Moves Like Leaf Blade and Psycho Cut, and Has Some Pretty Decent Stats As a Bulky Physical Attacker
But Thats Just My Opinion
Gastradon is a solid pick for ground type. Very balanced stats.
Togetic was always flying in that location of Mirelands, where one finds it, before you even had access to basculegion as long as you had a feather or jet ball you could catch it.
Making another comment but here's my thoughts on the best per type:
Dragon: Hisuian Goodra
Steel: Hisuian Goodra
Grass: split between Roserade and Liligant. The latter may not have a wide movepool, but she has nearly everything she wants and makes the most out of it, I can't ignore that just for the sake of movepool.
Poison: Roserade. Gengar is quite frail already and the ground weakness is rather critical considering how widespread ground moves are.
Ghost: Gengar, because he's easier to get early than Frosslass
Fire: Infernape
Fight: Infernape. Whilst I could say that Liligant has a similar situation as with Roserade, Infernape is slightly better as it's too dominant.
Bug: Scizor, it has better resistances and immunities than Heracross.
Rock: Rhypherior
Ground: Ursaluna. Not only is Rypherior slower, it has a 4x weakness where it's in trouble even from non stab grass and water moves. You can't ignore that in close comparisons.
Normal: Ursaluna
Fairy: Gardevoir
Psychic: Gardevoir. Mostly because of the better typing
Water: Definitely Samurott
Dark: Weavile. Samurott has nice stats and a nice movepool to go around with, but Weavile's movepool and stats really speak for themselves here. Very powerful and hard to deal with due to the battle system.
Ice: Weavile because of how easy it is to get him compared to Frosslass
Electric : Luxray, because he's earlier available despite Electivire being faster.
Flying: Togekiss, though you can make the argument that Staraptor doesn't need a wide movepool because it has the tools to perform its role
If you do some moon jumping in the obsidian fieldlands right next to where you find Snorlax. Make it all the way to the top left of the mountain and you can spam feather balls and catch Togikiss right away.
I’m pushing for Kleavor from a team building concept. Going for Infernape would make heracross redundant in half of its situations
Personally think that electivire is the best electric type
I love how he says that Mismagius and Dusknoir were contenders for Ghost, yet Zoroark is just sitting there like "Am I a joke to you?"
Togekiss was available flying over lake verity, and just leveled it off from there. chose to also get gardevoir (alpha from the icelands) because the hypnosis move saved me a few times.
It felt SO good to see some of my team members on the list, love them!! (Here's my team if literally anyone is curious)
1) Typhlosion
2) Luxray
3) Gastrodon
4) Roserade (Alpha)
5) Goodra
6) Alolan Ninetails
(Also if anyone has any move pool recommendations, I'd love to hear them because the post-game battle is absolutely demolishing me ;u;)
If you care to. Swap in Cresselia, use it's recovery move over and over and damn near solo the Volo. Then just smash the Giratina with a strong dark type. I used Umbreon.
MysticUmbreon: What is the best Pokémon of every type?
Arceus: *Am I a joke to you?*
I’m surprised sneasler never entered the conversation for best poison or fighting type. It’s incredibly fast and strong, and has good coverage. It’s really easy to pull off an agile swords dance and do massive damage with it
I think a part of what prevents Sneasler from entering the conversation is its inability to do what poison does best, take care of fairies. Its weak to both Ground and Flying which are two very common offensive types.
@@rabeechowdhury it’s fast and learns poison jab, fairy types just die to it. And infernape can’t do much against ground and flying either
@@miscellaneoof Fair, I personally don't think infernape should be the best fighting type either. I can say at the least Sneasler would be a runner up for the poison type. I say take care of Fairies because it is unable to switch into a moonblast as a resisted attack but I will say to your benefit, Sneasler out-speeds Enamorus allowing it to take the KO.
Fast, Hits like a truck, and reasonably bulky for how hard it hits.
Poor Garchomp and Gliscor got nerfed hard without their access to Earthquake or a reliable physical ground move. I never thought I see the day where you actually consider Luxray as a good option though. XD
But like, you can say that for all ground types across the board. What really hurts is that Garchomp doesn't get access to High Horsepower
@@Hargazer But that’s the thing. Other Ground types gets High Horsepower or Headlong Rush. Garchomp and Gliscor gets zilch.
@@nintendolife25 Yeah, kinda sad, especially for Gliscor
@@Hargazer Tell me about. First, he STILL can’t be used in BDSP until postgame and now he doesn’t have access to one of his bread and butters. Sinnoh really hates this cool flying scorpion.
@@nintendolife25 I hope they give him some love in an upcoming dlc for post game
I think a lot of the item evolution pokemon have an edge the minute space time distortions can happen. I had the link cable , protector and the porygon items so fast after a few of these. I’ve used both Rhyperior and Ursaluna in the game and I have to give it to Rhyperior. Both his stabs just seem to be more useful overall and in my luck he just was wayyy easier to evolve then Ursaluna
I think I’m lucky but in my first space time distortion I caught the three porygons lol
Hisuiin Goodra was the rock star of my team during my playthrough. I had to pull off a perfectly angled jump on Wydeer to get to the area where Goomy was before having access to Basculegion and it was beyond worth it. Garchomp who?? ;-)
yeah that jump can be tricky to pull off, but its a very good sequence break to get goomy a lot sooner
I personally think Ursaluna is the stronger Ground type than Rhyperior. Not only because it has less weakness but also because Ursaluna has more powerful stab moves. Moves like Giga Impact doesn’t have the recharge time in Legends Arceus unlike in other mainline games so you can easily spam a 120 normal type attack with no negative effects. Plus your stuck with a Ryhorn until level 42 while you can a Ursaring at level 30 until you find a Peat Block.
You not only need a Peat Block but, you must also wait until a Full Moon to get Ursaluna
I came here to see if Goodra was going to be in here, and seeing it as the best for both Dragon and Steel AND even considering it one of the best pokemon in the game (easy to see) made me happy. I love Hisuian Goodra ever since I got my shiny from an outbreak
@MysticUmbreon you can get Togekiss flying around the obsidian fieldlands after you unlock Wyrdeer and feather balls!
Had the majority of my team already put together and worked up with I watched this. Of the 6, 3 are on my team, 2 were mentioned as good alternatives/runner ups. The 1 that wasn’t mentioned: steelix. I’m a fan of steelix in my party as he’s really good for soaking up attacks and can still dish out some epic rock and ground moves.
Scizor should be it for bug, launching 3-4 STAB bullet punches before an opponent attacks is broken and it has better typing than Hera or Kleavor
The only thing that we can disagree is on Lilligant, she's a powerhouse with victory dance + drain punch.
It’s a broken Pokémon. Can one shot steel types with the heaviest of defense. Glass canon but the heaviest hitting fighting type in the game, not even close.
DUDE THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS LIST ITS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED AND YOU HELPED ME PICK MY STARTER!!!!
These are one of my favorite videos that you do. Normal type is always going to be Ursaring or Snorlax for me, but I am a poison trainer!
4:57 didn’t you yourself reference the ability to cross rivers without Basculegion in the best team video? Or is Turtwig’s neck of the woods not jumpable with Wyrdeer?
how often do you wanna make a best pokemon-list in legends arceus?
mystic: yes
I'm biased to Gen 1 Pokémon but Infernape is prob my fav Pokémon.. not sure if you have done a guide on how to select nature's for your Pokémon, this would be great!
These are my move sets for all the Hisuian starters if they were to appear in future games:
Chen the Hisuian Decidueye:
- Leaf Blade
- Aura Sphere
- Shadow Claw
- Acrobatics
Sakai the Hisuian Typhlosion:
- Flamethrower
- Shadow Ball
- Solar Beam
- Focus Blast
Aku the Hisuian Samurott:
- Liquidation
- Night Slash
- Poison Jab
- Psycho Cut
No way you need shadow claw in him
Ayyyy Lord Sakai. I can dig it.
@@slackerofhell it along with Chen are references to the Japanese version of Iron Chef
@@adamthespinygiant ahhh I gotcha. I thought Sakai was a Ghost of Tsushima reference.
@@slackerofhell then consider a reference to that too
These would be my picks
Bug: Scizor
Dark: Drapion
Dragon: Goodra
Electric: Electivire
Fairy: Gardevoir
Fighting: Infernape
Fire: Infernape
Flying: Togekiss
Ghost: Gengar
Grass: Roserade
Ground: Ursalana
Ice: Weavile
Normal: Snorlax
Poison: Gengar
Psychic: Gardevoir
Rock: Rhyperior
Steel: Goodra
Water: Samurott
Hisuian goodra is my favorite arceus Pokémon so hearing it being praised like this is absokutely amazing. I have my shiny alpha goodra waiting to be transferred to scarlet/violet so I can run rampant on conpetitive
I know they’re not as powerful as others (and maybe a little overrated) but I can’t ignore umbreon and sylveon. Both are absolute tanks who can take hits that would 1-shot anyone else and sylveon has amazing coverage. That and you can get them extremely early. I’ll always love having them
I think Rotom should be the best electric type. Rotom is electric and ghost type capable to adapt with new typing with his forme and his possibility to switch forme to get good coverage move and switch his typing. The best forme is probably the water or the fire type variant.
I Think Rotom Deserves a Place As Best Electric Type. There is A lot of Ways To Use Rotom Offensively and Defensively Due to The Many Forms It Has, Making It Pretty Easy to Fit on a Team For Your Needs. I Also Think Thunder Wave and Hex is a Very Dangerous Combo That Can Devastate Opponents, Especially if you Go Agile Style Into a Strong Style. While Getting the Mechanical Items Needed to Do This Can be a Hassle, Due to the Many Ways to Make Money and The Easy Way to Reset Ginter's Items, It Shouldn't Be Too Much of a Problem.
Luxray Can be a Temporally Member Before you Get Rotom At the Coronet Highlands, Which At Pretty Common At Stonetooth Rows At Night. They Will Be Around Lvl 43-46, So It Will Match Up With The Lvls Of your Current Pokémon At That Point in the Game.
I Do Agree That Luxray is a Good Electric Type, I Think Rotom Had a Chance to Have a Place On It's Throne for The Best Electric Type Pokemon In PLA.
Liligant is def better than roserade. Victory dance is blatantly broken. Only advantage roserade has is fairy and ghost coverage vs liligants fighting, but that doesn’t really matter tbh, you can cover ghost and fairy with a fairy type Pokémon
It hurt me on a deep level when he didn't even consider Zoroark as a contender.
mystic-"no pokemon is perfect."
electross meanwhile with levitate being an electric type-"bruv look at me, feel the glory, i got no weakness"
Petition for top 10 shinies in LA video
Hisuian Zoroark is underrated, is inmune to normal and Ghost attacks, has good attack and decent defense, is half fast and is really cool
Just wanted to come here and plug Whiscash - you can get the party going in Crimson Mireland, and zen head butt, mud bomb (into earth power) and some water in the mix really did a lot of heavy lifting for me.
Fun fact: swimming is just flying in water and flying is just swimming in the air
you need basculegion to get turtwig...but you can also get alpha torterra pretty early if you have the right team to knock it low enough to catch just learn to swim LOL
You could also get togekiss in the first area as soon as you get wyrdeer which is really busted as well as happiny/blissey which is a nice normal type to carry over until ursaluna as well as Gyarados if people didn’t go for samurott
In defense of my sweet Turtwig, there are terrain skips you can do with Wyrdeer and you can just walk around the lake to get him
Not arguing torteras placement but you don’t need basculegion to get it. There is a little alcove all the way at the bottom of mirelands that always spans a turtwig ( and rarely it’s 1st evolution). Hell you don’t even need basculegion to get to holm of trials just a pretty easy but good jump from wrydeer.
I wish mystic would do a best team for Pokémon Phoenix Rising. I just started and so far it’s a really cool game.
I think you’re wrong about Rhiperior because 2 extremely common 4 times weaknesses from enemies that are almost unilaterally faster than you and have a colossal arsenal of special moves that you have NO answer to is not an insignificant problem. The issue isn’t just the 2 4x weaknesses, it’s the fact that there is no way to deal with it other than to just not use it.
It has the same issue as Hisuian Avalug; amazing defensive tank as long as you don’t have a special steel or fighting move but with the added issue that firstly water type is the most common and grass coverage moves are equally common.
Secondly, super luck honchcrow.
Dark and Steel-types are both surprisingly sparse in Hisui(though the steel types make sense from a lore standpoint), but even more-so if you’re specifically talking *good* Dark or Steel-types that can actually serve the purpose you’d be adding them to your team for.
If I remember correctly, aside from Goodra, Empoleon and Lucario are the only two particularly usable Steel-types that don’t come from a Spacetime Distortion, and they’re both late-ish encounters in the game.
With Dark-Types there’s at least a little more leeway for reasonably useable options depending on how you want to play. Mystic chose Samurott(which I largely agree with) but there’s a bunch of other options including:
Drapion
Umbreon
Weavile
Overqwil
Spiritomb(but only if you’re literally insane)
and Honchkrow
So glad Goodra is finally getting the respect it deserves. My favorite pokemon of all time
Worth noting that togekiss can be caught as soon as the feather ball is unlocked and weirdeer mount is obtained
Here is the best of each type imo
Normal: Ursaluna
Fire: Infernape
Water: Samurott/Empoleon(both starters lol)
Grass: Lilligant
Electric: Magnezone/luxray (depends on if you want to hunt distortions or not)
Poison: Gengar
Ground: Ursaluna
Rock: Kleavor
Bug: Kleavor
Flying: Togekiss
Fighting: Lilligant
Psychic: Alakazam/gardevoir (they are both equally good imo)
Ghost: Gengar/Zoroark (Zoroark is late but is much better than gengar so if you are willing to wait it is worth it, otherwise use gengar)
Ice: Weavile/Mamoswine (you either do distortions or wait till the late game the other ice types are equally as late or suck)
Dragon: Goodra
Steel: Goodra (busted pokemon)
Dark: Samurott/Weavile/Drapion (You either pick samurott as a starter, distortion hunt, or just get drapion. All 3 are good)
Fairy: Togekiss/Gardevoir(either works its your preference)
You can get Togekiss on the 1st map with a wing ball
The battle changes really changed how I picked Pokemon, most of the time, boosting moves aren't that good in this game because you can get attacked multiple times so easily. The Pokemon that have been the most helpful in my playthrough are Hisuian Goodra, Snorlax, Infernape and Crobat. Poison attacks are super common weirdly so having a steel type or a poison type like Crobat, has been extremely useful.
Boosting moves imo are quite strong, if you have a base speed of 80+ and the way status conditions works now shouldn't be overlooked such as frostbite reducing special attack or drowsiness increasing damage taken
You don't need Basculegion to get Turtwig. Go up north around the lake and back down. Easy Peasy my friend.
I'd argue Jolteon is the best Electric type instead of Luxray. It's available at the start of the game, it has better stats, it has some usage with Calm Mind, it's not hard to get a Thunder Stone, and I feel that anything Luxray can do, other Pokémon can do better.
So yeah, my stance is on Jolteon as the best Electric type.
Its movepool is holding it back. Jolteon only has Electric, Ghost and Normal for Special Attacks, and it doesn't even learn Thunderwave which is really useful in this game. Utility is also limited to just Baby-Doll Eyes for offensive drop, or if you get lucky at Mimic'ing something good. On the other hand, Luxray has Electric, Fire, Ice, Steel, Fairy, Dark, has utility on Thunderwave and Snarl, and the elemental fangs also have the benefit of giving you a bit of action speed, which often let you take 2 turns without Agile, despite having a lower Speed stat.
Then again, Luxray is still not the best since Electivire exists, although being available from the start was probably the reason Luxray took the spot over Electivire.
This got me thinking about how viable Ursaring might be with eviolite now that is has an evolution
I got turtwig in the southeast minilake on crimson mirelands rounding the rivers and the big lake. No Basculegion or Wyrdeer.
I know you get Electivire late but I used him replacing Luxray. Elemental punches and better stats
I Was Thinking The Same Thing Ngl
You can get scyther much earlier than heracross, and black augurite is very easy to come across.
Why wasn’t zoruark considered for ghost? It has stats that are comparable to gengar and only has one weakness due to typing. It’s a better ghost in my opinion
I havent used any of these besides Gengar and Tyflosion, haven't encountered a threat that required any these
Fun fact: writing is just drawing letters
Side note: You could spin around Lake Valor to get Turtiwg
As for my opinion on Hearacross Or Kleaver? The answer is simple : Scizor, your crazy if you don’t think this guy is at least a contender , with psycho cut, close combat , X-scissor, and iron head / Arieal Ace, he’s able to deal with a ton of off types my core Pokémon either don’t have the coverage for , or as back up to fainted members of the party.
I wasn’t surprised you didn’t mention it though out of every team ranking video, and even the teams covered by you that you picked from commenters scizor was took out.
I feel like the high empasis on being able to play the pokemon mixed is a pretty big mistake.
Since you are able to swap out moves all the time, coverage is very simple.
What's more important is to make the most of your pokemon, so a 130 special stat with two stabs is better than two 100 split stats.
Fun fact: a bear without teeth is a gummy bear
Agile Style Ice Shard Weavile is absolutely busted in Legends Arceus.
Tired of the CPU getting 2-3 turns in a row? Now you too can move 4+ turns with this icicle weasel.
Today, I caught a Lv.28 ALPHA CHIMCHAR! I could not be more gassed.
If u make a perfect jump with that stantleer evolution u actually can get turtwig
Personally I would say Ursaluna is better than Rhyperior because it doesn’t take super effective damage from as many types as Rhyperior - including ground type moves. Ground type moves are pretty common as well, so Rhyperior having a weakness to one of it’s own typings in this case makes it a bit of a detriment.
There are two reasons I prefer ursaluna over rhyperior. 1. I prefer Ursaluna's design and species, I mean, how are you going to look a teddiursa in the face and say "no".... how are you going to look an Ursaring in the face and say "no".... Ursaluna is like a mix of both. Cute and terrifying. 2. I love it's hight attack and balanced defenses. It can take a super effective hit or two, even from higher level fighting types like Lucario with enough of an attack stat to 1hko almost everything. It also has a lot of coverage. 🤗
The only thing I will say is that I think FEMALE basculerions is a better water type dan samurott
Samurott's Ceaseless Edge is ridiculous
Best bug is scizor with bullet punch sword dance but I may be biased personally cause scizor is my favorite Pokémon
Love your videos, Umbreon! Please make a video for the best team (rentals and traded from Game Boy) in Pokemon Stadium.
You can get a Turtwig immediately when you get to the crimson mirelands
Would prefer seperate pokemon not doubling up on the types for 1 mon personally
Best Pokemon my list (no legends):
Normal- Snorlax
Fire- Infernape
Fighting- Machamp
Flying- Staraptor
Water- Gyarados
Grass- Roserade
Poison- Gengar
Electric- Luxray
Ground- Ursaluna
Psychic- Gardevoir
Rock- Rhyperior
Ice- Walrein
Bug- Kleavor
Dragon- Goodra
Ghost- Typhlosion
Dark- Weavile
Steel- Scizor
Fairy- Togekiss
I think the best grass type is liligent cause victory dance leaf blade is so insane or victory dance drain punch and it’s damage output and speed is SO GOOD and you also get petill in the crimson mire lands with a little jump with wydeer
Electevire is definitely the winner for electric typing. He has all the coverage and better stats
I love that Garchomp isn't a default anymore
I need some recommendations on my team, I wanna know if I need changes. So is this good?
Sammurrot ( or whatever his name is )
Luxary
Goodra (alpha)
Acranine
Alakazam
Blisseny (idk how to spell her name)
I've kinda been thinking about changing blisseny
I'm starting the 4th area
Edit: and most of them are in the 50-65
you can actualy get togekiss in obsidian fieldlands after you get Wyrdeer aswell.
Yes, I can see my perfect Legends' pokemon team - Goodra, Empolean, Brozong, Magnezone, Scizzor, and sadly I'm gonna keep a place for my robbed mon Aggron
