Poor Mew, the legendary who is supposed to learn everything got butchered. Now it will be in UU, destroying the tier hopefully and if it drops to RU. Then I will turn to stone like Ash "My Boy, look at how they massacred my boy"
I propose Salty Tears, a 4pp, 250 base power, 95% accurate Water move that has the drawback of fully healing a live or fainted Greninja the next turn by the opponent
Lando is struggling but not as bad as Mew. It can't stop the lake trio and Cresellia from setting up screens with his only way to consistently damage them is u-turn. It's forced to run grass knot just for Great Tusk and Dondozo. It's also much easier to target it middling speed and special bulk thanks to mons like Walking Wake, Air Balloon Gholdengo, and Enamorus-I to name a few. It's still incredibly strong and versatile but not the beast it has been in previous generations.
Lol gengar got it bad, was a decent Pokémon all the way to gen 6, but then they decided in gen 7 to take out levitate, and I’m like fuck just leave old Pokémon alone or make them better Jesus.
@DavePumpHerNickel Right. Gengar was just a solid mon and it got levitate taken away for no reason. It's model in SV LITERALLY LEVITATES AROUND! Just mocking us
@@thunderhog45 ahhhh I know it’s just silly, and meanwhile the same reason they nerfed gengar, a bunch of other Pokémon do gengars job at this point way better then them, and they’re still like “nerf gengar? Other Japanese guy: oh hell yeah” and I’m just like you sick soulless Japanese devils, you know not what you do. Either way though all I we can hope for is one day they give gengar 2-3 abilities instead of a variant for to just replace gengar, a mon already replaced by mons in gen 7-9.
@@thunderhog45 it was most likely taken away because of the mindgames it could abuse with mega gengar, but mega gengar isnt even in the game anymore so they just screwed it over super hard
Losing knock off and cosmic power wouldn't be all that bad but the fact they removed all recovery options besides draining kiss/drain punch is a crime against humanity. Even Mewtwo retains recover. Dual hazards are done by the hisuain mons and Chomp, while boosting recovery move sets are done better by Hattarene and Ceruledge. Even screens are done more consistently by the lake trio and cresellia thanks to levitate allowing them to match up against Lando. Mew still has good utility in transform, allowing to it become a better version of all the mons that outpace it. Transform/will-o/taunt/u-turn is how I've used Mew so its not so outclassed.
Losing recovery might be the worst. The utility moves were more valuable but recover moves were what made its offensive sets work With all that lost its damn near Silvally at this point. But Psychic is slightly better than its been in past generations at least
Utility Mew had some of my favorite sets I don’t understand why they’d do this to the funky lil creature :( Gen 8 power creep wasn’t the kindest to it already (and gen 9’s is even tougher) but now they just killed off my boi completely.
I think the removal of Roost and MorningSun/Moonlight on a lot of pokemon was way too brutal. They really wanted things to not heal themselves this generation.
I don't get not having MOVES coded in, I swear they don't need much coding or added animation, plus not letting you bring moves THAT ALREADY EXIST IS EVEN MORE STUPID
Weird take. At the moment mew is probably the best it was since a long time. Yeah it can only run a suicide hazard lead, but next to Samurott it is the best at that. And with how offensive the meta is atm mew is absolutly great.
At this point, Game Freak really needs to consider whether removing toxic from every Pokémon's movepool was a good idea or not; like poison is indeed my favourite type, but this particular move was a vital move for a lot of Pokémon's viability (cough cough ... Blissey ...)
At least I got my BDSP Mew a load of ribbons & a neutral nature so I can get the Ramanas legendaries via Synchronize minted after transferring them to Pokémon Violet due to being a gateway drug to competitive. Edited this comment after the 8/8 Pokémon Presents since Mew is going to be the star of the 7 star Mewtwo raids with a 1.5x HP & 1.2x buff to the rest of it's stats, but that's 3-4 weeks away.
For doubles it still has the same i used for speed control and crippling except it lost breaking swipe but with chilling water is not that bad and it was the least important since its often swapped with an Intimidate user and actually i like landorus more now with its new ground move, but Mew still has Tailwind/IcyWind, TrickRoom, Snarl, ChillinWater/Will-o-Wisp, Imprison, Life Dew... So it fits well for most of my classic team strats. For singles its utility is really crippled
#bringmewback i am a lover of mew i played since red blue and yellow and so on. mew was always my fav i got my mew in the pokebox to move to other games
Mew basically was the power creep proof Mon. Since it was hard coded to be adaptable, but the changes to move distribution made mew kinda mid. They probably should've made level up moves a lvl1 aqui. And with the new changes, that still would've been pretty balanced.
Honestly i think Mew needs a minor stat buff. They should give Mew straigh 101s or 102s across the board. It could at least keep some good utility by outspeeding the base 100 bunch, even if it loses all the utility moves.
Mew never knew every move in yhe game and i have no idea how people keep saying that. It is compatible with all TMs, HMs and mive yutor moves, but moves that are exclusive to level up were never part of its moveset which is a pretty big group of moves and not all of them are exclusive to one line (spore for example)
What losing 2 million+ utility moves does to a mf:

@@dekufiremage7808 NOOOO

I just can't understand why they massacred so many mons' movepools this gen. Mew was NEVER overpowered, yet they nerfed it to irrelevance!

It still gets drain punch tho right
I actually have a physical shiny one i hunted myself from gen 3 def not using it in sv tho
@@onehandstanceit does along with giga drain, and drain kiss, so its nof lacking in that department.
I'm sad they stopped making these cute base 100 all mythical pokemon. I like Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy, and Victini (Shaymin is ok).
Hoopa, Magearna, and Meltan are cute myths. Gen 9 decided to make Ogerpon and Terrapagos DLC legendaries rather than mythicals.
Utility Mew had some of my favorite sets I don’t understand why they’d do this to the funky lil creature :(

Remember when mew could learn damn near everything? Yeah me too
They literally gave it Amnesia
It still can lmao
Mew has always been defined by being able to learn every available TM, tutor, TR, etc. within a game
At this point even pokemon doesnt know how to balance their own games
1:28 okay BEYOND competitive stuff... why is MEW unable to TELEPORT???
It's supposed to be the Pokemon that's able to do anything. Makes no sense.

2:55 rip Volcarona lol, one less mon for Mew to worry about though it'll still be bad even with Volc banned
i really dont like how gf nerfed everything that was good and balanced to replace them with some new mons
Guessing weakened recovery moves, good checks in Ghost and such, etc
#bringmewback i am a lover of mew i played since red blue and yellow and so on. mew was always my fav i got my mew in the pokebox to move to other games
Losing roost and softboiled has harmed it, but it does have access to giga drain, drain kiss and drain punch. 100 all round base isnt bad.
I tried using life dew as recovery, with spikes, u turn and ice beam but it's not that good....

Cant Mew use Life Dew?
Im thinking of running it with dragon dance, drain punch, shadow claw, and something else
Bulk up is an option as well
it doesnt heal very much only 1/4 and not 1/2 like roost, recover or soft boiled thats why mons dont run life dew because it kinda sucks
NOT MY BOY!!! GAMEFREAK WHY YOU FORSAKEN MEW!!!
He's your baby boy. 😢
Why cant they give it a new form, like so many other mons? Same for Celebi.
What powercreep does to a mf:
This isn't powercreep, this was sabotage.
Power creep isn't the same as stealing power away from something
@@theduh1011 Yeah, you really can’t call these removal of moves powercreep.
This is more like nerfing
@@felixdaniels37 look at how they massacred my boi
No more stored power 😎
this is why I prefer national dex
Everyone knows about dexcut but nobody ever talks about how movegutting has been making the games outright trash.
And this is why we don't play singles.
