I love how Skeledirge and Meowscarada are chill and Quaquaval is running around frantically, that duck has so much personality, I love it
I swear they had Revali in mind when Quaquaval's design
Seeing Quaquaval running really fast all around the place at the end when you were trying to take a photo of the starters had me dying XD
Meowscarada did not want to cooperate (probably because Austin was dissing it)
Adhd duck 😆
@@sedarue123 Just like a real cat in actuality lol. Try and tell it what to do, or sit still enough for a photo is near impossible lol.
I know this cause I had to make BOTH my cats try and just SIT. On the couch for a christmas card photo. I got it, and they look super cute but god I just was exhausted after lol
I love how all of the evolutions grow into festival themes. I'm actually impressed at Meowscarada's design after the thief look in the second stage. It's like a masquerading cat's paw
Meowscarada. I just saw where I was autocorekt
@@joelcb07you can edit comments :)
@TealFlight I admittedly still have tunnel vision for a couple hours
Cat's Paw! Genius word play.
Definitely going with Sprigatito.
I’d say that Meowscarada is very much still a thief though, as it’s name seems to be a play on the word Masquerade and it’s mask is similar to a masquerade mask. I can’t quite to recall the name of this type of thief but the Phantom Thieves from Persona 5 do come to mind. Totally naming mine Morgana.
I used to dance competitively. I immediately recognized the sleep animation as a very common stretch for warming up. A neat detail, honestly. It also feels pretty good because its not very intense, and just generally loosens things up.
When you turn you hip that little bit outwards when you do that stretch, best feeling in the world
It reminded me of the pose that a Mestre-sala (I guess it could be translated as "hall master") will do whenever the Porta-bandeira ("flag-bearer") starts spinning her long round dress during a samba school parade in Rio. They're a male and female duo that are always together in parades. Considering the final evolution, it could be that as well.
This! I’m so excited that the dancer Pokémon was given as much detail as it has. I love how true the stances, movements are, and the fact that the dude basically dances samba as he fights haha.
fuecoco can learn slack off as an egg move, it’ll be great for stalling turns
For all of 8 turns but it's better than nothing. Especially for a Pokémon with Unaware.
Calm Mind/Slack Off gogogogogo
@@MrMTJensen I don't believe Fuecoco learns that? Calm Mind I mean. But if it does, it'll become even better than it is already.
Recovery moves got nerfed
@@KakashNLighted Makes mons with regenerator much more useful, unless that also got nerfed.
Floragato reminds me of Puss in Boots, a really strong design, a little sad to see its not fully carried over into the third stage. I really appreciate this video and all your helpful stat tips and tricks! My personal theory for starter Pokémon being more humanoid is because then they are more classified as "friends" or "partners" instead of pets like how a luxray or arcanine remain on all fours, even though I like those type of designs better.
Same here. I like Floragato the best for looks.
I like the idea of the starters not being dramatically strong! Makes you more apt to use a diverse team
Naw I don’t like it that’s stupid I don’t like these evolution at all
@@haezeushawkins436 Do you know what’s worst about the starter evolutions is that Sprigatto stands on two legs when it evolves into it’s middle and final stage what a disappointment looks like I hate Sprigatto now.
@@dominicvega1678 hate him all you want boys quick with a move that gurantees a Crit.
I agree! That was the first thing i noticed with the typings!
@@dominicvega1678 bruh who cares it looks better on two legs
Meowscarada is my choice still despite the bad match-ups with types. I really do love the design as it reminds me of a mix between a cat, Dark Magician, and Tuxedo Mask.
Have you seen it’s sprite? It’s so smug, it’s like Dio saying “oh so your approaching me?”
Naming mine Tuxedo Meaowsk
It’s hidden ability is protean. Cat is king
i mean it has protean as a hidden ability
Yea it’s the exact opposite of delphox. Which I also liked.
I feel like Fuecocco will be excellent for a trick room team in competitive play. I think it’ll just be a juggernaut with an assault vest equipped. I’m so excited to use it
I just like the fact we have another Gator/Dile pokemon, the modern dinosaur prevails all!
His speed is a bit to high for that sadly but maybe he'll fit in
Was thinking this EXACTLY!
@@pokezod7832 idk I think with a detrimental speed nature and level manipulation it might work, since he's only a LITTLE bit too fast
@@pokezod7832 it depends if you are playing singles or doubles, because yeah in singles maybe it is too fast for trick room, but in doubles it can work.
Meowscarada looks like a carnival magician not a jester it looks sooo good. And it has Protean completely removing its weaknesses
It looks like a human
@@dominicvega1678 nothing gets past you
Honestly I love its design! Loving the theme of the starters
Protean did get nerfed
I was kinda hoping for Sprigatito to go down the Zorro/Puss-in-Boots kinda route, especially seeing how Floragato had a thief aesthetic. But Meowscarada has grown on me, and the jester/assassin aesthetic is pretty cool
Fun fact thats not fire on Skeledirge, they're actually Marigolds
Cool
Like the flowers from Coco?
Cempasúchil 🥰
I'm in love with the Dia de los Muertos theme. Peak starter design I think it overtakes a lot of others for how well thought out it is
@@thewatcher6969 Yeah, but that doesn't make a lot of sense as Dia de los Muertos is a Mexican thing and Paldea is based on Spain.
Quaquaval is going to be really good for competitive its like an auto setting up sweeper with moxie as a hidden ability
I checked the leaked elite 4 out and it looks like Quaquaval will be the best starter for them, given that it’s typing can take out at least 3 of them.
@@masterbrad89 you can beat elite 4 with anything, game will be baby mode
Ngl, Quaquaval with it’s signature move plus moxie as hidden ability. That just sounds BROKEN. Additionally it doesn’t have dreadful defences so it can live a move or two to build up its speed. Damn, it’s giving intimidate Incineroar
And for rule 34
@@DissFrank no
I already loved Quaquaval’s evolution but learning more about its movepool and stats make me really excited to pick it for my first play through!
Love Meowsarada’s design. Could team it up with Delphox and make a magician and magician’s assistant kinda thing ❤
Is that a reference to the leak that came out saying it was supposed to be related to being a magician? personally, speaking as a magician, I don't really see it myself.
i think it is yeah
With that speed and movepool, Meowscarada is gonna be a crit machine, if you want to set it up that way. It also getting Play Rough by level up is insane and will give it a good way to check it’s Fighting weakness. I can’t wait to use this thing tomorrow.
And let’s not forget it has Protean as HA
@@chr15tian22 Even though Protean got nerfed, Meowscarada's movepool is insane.
@@NickWuebker Nerfed how so? Doesn’t it just change its typing? Or are you referring that it may lose its double typing?
@@BigSisLuna Protean now only works on the first turn.
If you know how to build a team, Meowscarada can be really good. Also with that speed stat you’re pretty much out speeding anything. It also gets U-turn and knock off, which is fantastic.
I've been in love with all of their first evo designs since the first announcement, but at first was torn about their final stages. With time, I learned to like Quaquaval and Meowscarada a lot, and this video finally made me appreciate Skeledirge quite a lot too for his inspirations.
This gen is shaping to be very heavy inpired in Spanish culture and folklore which just makes it amazing. I've been waiting for a new dex that shakes me just like Gen 6 Pokémon did, I'm so hyped.
Tbf it confuses spain with south america way too much, there must be just 3 or 4 actual spanish pokemons from what ive seen
@@caquita402 well spain and south america have a lot of historical ties
@@DayzAhat you can tie anything together but that doesnt make it regional, its ok because all pokemon games are barely tied to the region they are supposed to come from but wouldnt call this game "heavily inspired on spanish culture" when not even the starters are from spain
Really like how you laid out the video, showing details/stats/typing without spoiling the final form!
Design wise I REALLY like Meowscarada. Seeing the final forms has swayed my starter choice to grass cat
W E E D C A T
Yeah I was leaning towards Fuecoco the whole time but after seeing the final forms Meowscarada is great and Skeledirge is just okay. Sprigatito it is then
@@blindandfrozen I was team Quaxly until I saw how stupid the final evolution looks, now it's 100% Sprigatito for me
I love the sprigatito final design a little less than the second, but they're still by far my favourite... Especially after theif signature essentially being a grass frost breath :)
Yeah, I agree about the second form looking a bit cooler, which is a rarity. But that being said, I still really like Meowscarada's design. It kinda makes me think of Joker from Persona 5, but with a bit more flamboyance and flair.
Had a interesting phantom thief vibe, very fiting to a grass/dark fast attacker.
So the egg on Fuecoco's evolutions references to the fact that in Africa, Egyptian plovers have a relationship with Nile crocodiles where they fly into the crocodiles' mouths to feed on decaying meat lodged between the croc's teeth. So in other words, the plovers are the croc version of dental floss! And no, the crocs don't eat them! My favorite part was when Sprigatito did their own cover of Despacito, "Spriga, tito! Spriga-spriga-spriga-spriga-sprigatito!"...so beautiful and inspiring
OOHHHH THANK YOU!! I was going nuts trying to figure out what was up with the bird it felt so outta left-field!
I really love Quaxly and his evolutions, they are all so interesting and the final form makes a lot of sense. Plus I love all the secondary typings
Quaxwell looks like he'd fit right in with the megamind crew lol
Grass type all the way , love the design all throughout and the move pool is INSANE , gonna reset for either adamant to guarantee oko or jolly to capitalize even more on speed
I love everything about Skeledirge. Dirge is "a lament of the dead" and comes from Spanish/Latin _Dirige, Domine, Deus meus, in conspectu tuo viam meam._ That makes sense given its signature move "Torch Song". To further explain, this is more based in Christianity/Catholicism than anything else.
Which fits again with the region being based in Spain, which had the....ya know. Spanish Inquisition, which was from 1478-1834. The goal was to spread and maintain Christian/Catholic ideology to regions under Spanish rule.
The skull is obviously dia de los muertos themed. The flames are not flames at all but marigolds, and the fire bird is based on Egyptian Plovers which have a symbiotic relationship with Nile Crocodiles. I love it.
I never knew dirge was a Spanish word. At first I thought "Well they kind of abandoned the naming convention." Thanks for the tip!
@@donnylurch4207 yeah for sure. I added some more clarification, since it's not really SPANISH, but more LATIN BASED, and comes from a more somber tone than the festive tones of Day of the Dead, but again, it's Spain, And Spain was very religious, and had the uh not so nice Spanish Inquisition thing going on. So while it's not really SPANISH based in naming, skele being of course skeleton for day of the dead skulls, and dirge being a lament of the dead, the name is still very much Spanish BASED even if in symbolic meaning not direct translation.
Was really interesting and cool to read thanks ☺️
I am shocked. Quaquaval turned out to be my favourite of the three. 😂 I’ve always loved the carnival aesthetic and I’m pleased with how they translated it in the starter.
Right I'm loving the peacock inspiration. It'll be a tough choice between fuecoco and quagsly.
It's growing on me might pick quaxly when I go to buy violet tommorow
I was really surprised too, it's definitely my favorite. I thought before this video I would have gone with Croc.
I'm also an Animal Crossing player, and my favorite holiday is Festivale. So, when Quaquaval showed up I shouted out loud: Pave! Pave is my fave.
As soon as I saw it, I thought, 'This is my starter'. It wasn't a six-armed duck like I'd hoped. But this might be even better. This is a Pokemon I could see Sylvando from Dragon Quest XI using (as many people know, he's my favorite character from that game).
I've been ride or die Fuecocco day one, and I am not dissapointed. Must say Quaxlys final form looks awesome too, I really like it. I do kinda wish that Sprigattito stayed as a 4 legged creature tho, but I like the jester inspiration.
I usually pick pokemon based on looks more than stats, but i couldn't even focus on stats bc the pokemon were constantly doing something and felt so much more alive and had more personality in their animations! that said, I love quaxly's line so much and I'm so glad I'm sticking with it
It's nice to see a bulky Fire type starter for once that ain't just Incineroar. We've seen tons of offensive Fire types and while I do love them, it's nice to see some variety too and it'll most definitely do good with the defenses if given a chance, especially with Slack Off.
Edit: Wording made clearer.
Also he can learn curse!
@@ItJustWorksPodcast Exactly. And if one is interested in making it into a bulky sweeper, it's absolutely possible. Just give it an Assault Vest and go to town! It's definitely UU, no contest. I absolutely love this guy so much!
@@ItJustWorksPodcast OMG this thing is gonna be all over competitive
He’d be an utter monster on trick room teams!
@@ItJustWorksPodcast
Wait, it does??
I think meowscarada is supposed to be a magician, kinda fits the whole carnival/festival entertainers, Magician, Singer, and Dancer.
It's both a magician and a phantom thief. It's a pretty nice design all things considered.
@@GoinGreninja Magician, pick-pocket, same thing haha.
i loved the design
Meowscarada: meow + enmascarada/enmascarado (masked in spanish). Really like the name.
I really liked Quaxly at first, it was my favorite starter, but now that I've seen it's final form I can say that I'm not a big fan of it even though it looks stunning and elegant. I'm personally more a fan of Sprigatito's final form and I think it will be my starter when I get my hand on the game. Fuecoco is my least favorite, but it still looks cool. Now I wanna see their shiny form !
Just subscribed great stuff!
EXCELLENT format for an overview of the starters! Handled spoilers perfectly and gave valuable insight to help choose, especially the late game / end game viability versus early stat advantages.
Meowscrada is based off of Masquerade balls, where people ware intricate masks to hide their face. As you might assume, it becomes fairly easy for a person wearing a mask to do nefarious things without being caught... like a dark type.
In a side note: if the widely released hidden ability becomes available anytime in the next few months, most of Mewscrada's issues with their defenses should be mitigated.
(ps: Also, thanks for explaining that quaqaval was based on Carnaval dancers, rather then my mistaken impression of flamenco dancers. Makes more sense.)
I was going to post about mascaradas but you already did a great job on explaining. I am going for a Sprigatito for sure.
My team so far consists of Meowscarada, Ceruledge & Tinkaton excited to see who else is going to join them! Thanks for the video as always
These evolutions are amazing!
I feel like the first forms were better on most of them, but I definitely wouldn't say any of the final forms look ugly by a long shot. Quaquaval is probably my least favorite shape-wise, but all their color pallets still look really good, and the concepts work decently well. Still sad we didn't get a Puss-in-boots inspired Sprigatito evolution, though.
Technically Puss in Boots has Italian origins, so I guess it makes some sense, but when has that stopped GameFreak
Other than Fuecoco, I don't really like the new starters at all. Sprigatitto has the best looking final form but I dont really like any of the new pokemon I've seen.
Gotta appreciate that they related the final evolution to cultural ties. It makes them much more unique to the games.
i am very disappointed with quaxly. i really thought it would get a weapon...
@@1Lukas Adhering to closely to a theme can be limiting though. Quaxly suffered from that more than any of them.
Going with Meowscarada. I personally think the designs “ok-ish” but I’m mainly getting it because it balances out my Pokémon team I have set and it has a pretty good ability that turns it into the typing of the move(s) that it uses.
Edit: Ability is called Protean but it has been nerfed to one use only unless you switch it out or use a move like U-Turn and is only available post game. Thank you Matt, Layla Alder, and Siddharth Asoka for the information.
Aren't the starters ability locked or did they finally change it?
Protean is it’s hidden ability
ability patch you can just buy somewhere i guess
same, but im picking it because it reminds me of an old digimon design lmaoo
@@Destin879
Not gonna lie, I have no knowledge on ability locking as this is the first I’m hearing of it. I hope it isn’t restricted as why would they tease the Pokémon having this ability if it wasn’t going to be available to players anyway?
Thanks for the time and effort you put into these videos Austin! By far the best RUclips channel out there covering Pokemon 👍 brilliant content and coverage every single time!
Fairly confident that Skeledirge may be based on alebrijes, which are essentially animal spirit guides. Absolutely love the design and obviously made a good choice off the bat.
Fun fact this is the first fire starter to be on all fours
@@chaosthemultiversesamurai4544 true. Sadly 😞 the grass starter didn't
@@chaosthemultiversesamurai4544 Typhlosion.
@@Nosretep I’m pretty sure he’s usually on two legs
I thought Koraidon was more alebrije based than Skeledirge, but now that you mention it I can definitely see it .I hope Ash gets one in the next gen anime lol
Definitely going with Fuecoco now. Skeledirge looks really cool.
I believe that the fire starter is based on the day of the dead and I just love that origin and it makes so much sense with the ghost type. I was going with fuecoco first anyway cuz he was adorable but the final Evo settles it for me he looks the best out of the 3 for sure.
Been waiting for this video for ages! And btw, I really appreciate the sensitivity you are putting into the videos regarding how you reveal info. It’s so useful for those that want some secrets. Much appreciated!
I love the Fuecoco line. Crocalor having a egg hat makes sense given Skeledirg's pokedex entry: the fire bird is what hatches from that egg once it gains a soul upon Crocalor evolving. Skeledirge having a symbiotic relationship with fire bird on his snout is the same as real life crocodiles who have a relationship with birds. I love that.
I forgot the name. But the bird in question, isn't that the one we may find cleaning the teeth of a crocodile?
I also love it but I’m picking quaxly anyway. Definitely my favourite of the 3 fully evolved starters but quaxly’s is alright too.
Plover Birds is what that little bird is based off
Wait really? It would've been nice if that fire bird is a separate pokemon though like Cramorant and Arrokuda
@@nintendoheartless7293 a quick Google search, the specific breed is the Egyptian Plover.
I personally have loved Fuecoco the most out of the three before I knew anything about them, and Skeledirge just solidifies my view of him. Definitely going with the little ghost pepper
The starters are really solid all in all this gen. And their hidden abilities are also good. But I think Meowscarada is going to dominate when it gets it's hidden ability since it basically turns it into a physical Greninja.
Meowscarada is more of a phantom thief than a court jester, following the thief look and with their signature move. I love their look already and can't wait to have them on my team!
Same here. I'm sad about it's defense stats but hopefully nothing some EVs can't change. Looks like a glass Cannon but I love it.
It's actually 100% inspired by themes of entertainment and mystery, no thievery afoot.
PERSONAAAAAA
That was my whole thing too! That's why I want Meowscarada even more. I love a good phantom thief.
@@shatteredsentient5321 Naming my Meowscarada Joker now
Funnily enough I like Meowscarad's design the most, but I also just mainly choose grass starters anyway. The Fuecoco's final evolution also looks pretty cool. I want ceruledge so I probably won't be using Fuecoco
Same, I don’t understand the hate behind bipedal starters, they’re supposed to reflect their human trainers one way or another, whether that be through personality, build, or something else like profession. The theme behind the starters this gen being visual performers is really cool and solidifies that human connection.
I started this video three times before finally deciding I wanted to see the evolutions but happily it didn’t change my starter decision! I wanted Quacksly for the Water/Flying combo, and I’m not a huge fan of the final form but I still like the move combo and the comments around their stats and type matchups kept me on the same path!
Love your content as always Austin!
I am going Quaxley, I like how the final form animates and gets the showy tail feathers, I kind of wish they tail feathers always looks that way.
I love Mewoscarada's look soooo much. It goes from being an assassin that hides in the shadows to one that hides in plain sight. Gives me heavy assassin creed brother hood and revelations vibes. Name is too long tho
As someone comes from a culture with those same types of super over the top street festivals/parades I can’t help but love the water starter. And it’s such a fun idea to combine that with a peacock. I’ve wanted a peacock Pokémon for a long time now.
It’s perfect
Pretty sure it’s still a duck
@@Hi-fd4cw sure in the same way Samurot it’s still an otter
Oh, where are you from?
Basically water blaziken
I think it's both. It gains the peacock tail but still retains its duck-like traits.
The Meowscarada definitely reminds me of the Nights games that came out back in the early 2000s, great designs for all three really 😊
Thank you for making a separate video on the starters. While I may know more info than I wanted, I tried to stay away from most of the leaks.
I’d honestly have to say that in terms of design relating to the region it’s amazing. Honestly no Pokémon starters have really done this where they have the final evolution heavily relate to the culture the region was based off (Spain) and I can really appreciate the uniqueness of it. It makes me wonder how new gens will base there starters off whatever region it may be.
I disagree I hate these starters
@@chaosthemultiversesamurai4544 well everyone has an opinion and I can respect that, but can you tell me why?
The last gen kind of had a theme relating to the location, it was uk based iirc and there was a footballer, a spy (James bond esque) and a drummer which are all big things there
@@1Lukas sure the fire alligator looks alright but I’m just the biggest fan of it’s design. Also first fire starter on all fours. (Which is kinda cool). The grass cat Pokemon again another humanoid cat the last one still worked but this time idk I much rather had a cool dark grass cat Pokemon on all fours instead I feel gamefreak could kept the magician design with the cat being on all fours. Finally the duck idk they could went from duck to Blue flamingo instead I’m pretty sure flamingo is a Spanish bird? Also a bird Pokemon we haven’t had yet.
All in all I wish they looked more like animals instead of being human animal fusion again like it works sometimes but I personally am getting tired of it. One last I’m choosing the cat but not going to evolve it I guess to make it more challenging for myself
@@chaosthemultiversesamurai4544 yea that’s a fair analysis, I agree with you on the bipedal cat, they should’ve stuck to all fours but the design I like. I gotta say that the duck turning into a more peacock esque was good only because it really matches the design they intended, a flamingo would’ve been really interesting but I can’t really picture a final stage evolution where a flamingo could stand out.
Yesssss I've been waiting for this, thank you so much for your coverage!!! 🥳
Haven't been this excited for a new gen for a while but this one seems awesome! Can't wait to play it myself and all the upcoming videos, Austin 👍
I honestly love Meowscarada's design. I think it's fun! I do miss the yoyo from the floragato though, I think it would be neat if it kept that
"Meoscarada, can u get over here pls" *walks off screen* "ok"
Meowscarada is definitely the pick I’m going for. A guaranteed crit move that never misses is a huge deal I can just restart the game to get it with a nature that gives it better speed
Edit: also it has great defense coverage. Weak against ice, fire, flying and bug types but it can learn Power Gem which can counter those problems
Meowscarada is definitely the best for me too i really like the magician style design, its move looks fun, and i dont like the others
Same honestly, I’ve always loved the masquerade theme, and he reminds me of characters like Will and Dimentio
You can mint it, do not forget xD
Thank you sooooo much for this video!!! The starters is THE info I’ve been wanting more than anything! You’re an angel.
Austin John Plays I have so much respect for you I've been watching your vids for years and have been a long time sub and you always have such high quality content and prioritize validity in your work even if it means losses and your always so straight forward you are AMAZING! Thank you for all of your hard work!!!!!
The grass and fire starters are my fave this gen. Loved Meowscarada's design and the weaknesses didn't bother me too much tbh. Grass types are my fave though. :3
At first I was going to choose the water starter because I liked the whole little sailor thing it had going but seeing what it eventually evolves into it’s just not for me, I’m definitely going with the grass starter now I actually really like it’s final evolution and grass/dark is a cool type in my opinion. Thank you for your wonderful videos Austin!
Yeah, I love quaxly's sailor vibe and I really wish he kept it
they had greatness with his first form, and then it became cursed
I absolutely love the stats and move pool of its Evo.
But it's repulsive. I hated inteleon because of the weird bedroom eyes and pose it had. This thing is just way too much it makes me want to rip it's feathers out. Like every one of its movements is flamboyant. Honestly I wouldn't mind it design at all if it wasn't shaking it booty around and skipping every where like a school girl. Why! And I have a feeling competitively it's going to be the best. Everyone already hates my favorite meowskarada it's going to a repeat of Everyone loving the starter I hate and hating the starter I love all over again. What's so great about being unhygienic using a tongue as a scarf is disgusting.
I had the opposite reaction lol. Quaxly's hat hair didn't appeal to me at all, but I love his sassy dancer final form so much that I'm considering choosing him over Sprigatito. 😅
Strangely enough it's the complete opposite for me, I never really cared for Quaxly I was going Fuecoco or Sprigatito but based off the final evos I'm going Quaxly, he looks cool and while I do like Sprigatitos I'm not picking it first because it's bipedal and Fuecoco is just ruined imo
Quaquaval is pretty much our first peacock Pokémon so I’ll go with him. Also a fan of the water/fighting hybrid.
Thanks for not spoiling them in the thumbnail! I appreciate you!
Been Team Quaxly since day one, and I am stoked with how the line finishes out. I never used my starter in late game SwSh so not a deal breaker for me not having much use in raid dens. I love Quaquaval's look and vibe, and I'm so excited for tomorrow!
Yup. Design is very good. Very bird like, Feathers are nice and elegant looking. Had high hopes and paid off
I like that all the starters aren't too humanoid. He had me scared at first with the final evolution for quaxly, but it looks good. Its tail looks like peacock tails.
Best stylish duck peacock boi there is
@@calebdelaney1162 exactly. Which fits the theme of a dancer
Loved the design of Meowscarada and Quaquaval! Going with Quaxly on my first playthrough
🎉🎉
Same here!
Fun Fact: each starter final evolution is based on a proformer. Skeledigre is a Singer, Meowscarada is a Jester/Magician, and Quaxaval is a Dancer
I think that if you go for a Poison or Fire Terastal type on Meowscarada, you can really deal with a bunch of those counters, 4 to be exact, though, you do gain other counters.
I might go Meowscarada. The Signature Move Flower Trick is a guaranteed critical hit, which is basically a guaranteed crit on the 70 base power which will benefit from the high speed and high physical attack of Meowscarada. A Fire or Poison(preferably poison because likely a poison attack in usual moveset and less weaknesses) Terastal Type will help deal with counters being only weak to Ground and Psychic at 2 times and resisting 4 previous weaknesses of Fighting, Bug, Poison, and Fairy. If you keep Grass, Dark, and Poison damage moves on Meowscarada then Terastal, you can then 2 times 7 different types including Psychic and Ground, a Poison type's weakness. So I would go Flower Trick, Crunch(Night Slash if can't get Crunch), Poison Jab/Poison Fang(Poison Fang badly poisons which is a poison that gets worse, though Poison Fang has 50 Base Power compared to Poison Jab's 80 Base Power. All this depends on what Meowscarada can learn though), and something else.
Actually, considering Meowscarada's hidden ability, if you open with a poison move, you can change to Poison for that match, and stay that way until you Terastal, and you could have a different Terastal type. Or you could stick with Overgrow and if you have a way to survive death via bonus move or item, then Overgrow would make Flower Trick stronger.
So I do believe Meowscarada will be good, battle wise, if you plan well over the long time it would take. But I also believe Meowscarada isn't a bad looking pokemon, I'm fine with it being bipedal. My favorite starters are often bipedal. Meowscarada doesn't look bad, but the theme does feel isolated compared to the dancing and singing of the other two. When I transfer Decidueye in, I might switch Meowscarada out, but probably not. I might have both at the same time. I really love how Meowscarada curls on the ground.
The supposedly bad typings aren't an issue at all for me. I always find ways to get around the weaknesses. It's a tossup between the cat and the duck, but that depends on what another family member is picking.
exactly, i find it doesn’t usually matter match. worst case, you have the rest of your team to make up for it
when i was a kid playing the 3ds games i wasn’t paying attention to typing at alllll, you still find ways to win
@@zahrah2269 Exactly. People have beaten the games with joke teams. It's always been about personal preference.
Lol typings arent a big deal at all unless your playing a nuzlocke or competitive other than that the game should be easy enough to finish with whatever pokemon you like having on your team
I've loved Quaxly since Day 1 and his final Evo being Water/Fighting is super cool to me.
the feet. i cant handle the feet
Def going with quaxly
Same here, but I think a hate the design more than I like the type, so I am team green cat now xD. Not fire crock because I want to have a ceruledge and it has the same type.
I'm going to choose him but they could have done better job with the final evolution 😭
I’m thinking of going with spirigato because it’s sort of a heavy hitter and a fast attacker which is what I always liked in Pokémon games and I love the design choices, I mean that last one kinda steps down but I like how fluffy it looks lol 😂
I was briefly leaning toward Fuecoco and Skeledirge for a bit, but out of the trio Sprigatito/Meowscarada remains my favorite in terms of design, stats, and style of play. I liked Sprigatito from the start so I undoubtedly will choose it when I get the game, but Fuecoco is a close second for me.
I knew I was gonna choose fuecoco from the start, I always choose the reptile starter when possible, I’m really happy how it turned out! The long snout reminds me of a gharial, and the fire/ghost typing is perfect!
I love Austin John when ever there is a new Pokémon game and he is really good about spoilers and leaks. Love the work man ❤❤
Finally! Thank you so much for showing the starters! ☺️ I’m going to choose Sprigatito!
imma be real, all the final forms are awesome; i especially love Quax and Sprig's.
also, Meowscarada is likely a masquerade partygoer, not a jester lol. Masquerades are known for being mysterious, as you never know who you're dancing with under the mask.
sprig's is awful
I didn't like them at first, but they've all grown on me. Really liking the theme for all 3.
I was going with Quaxly when the first trailer came out...my son immediately gravitated toward Sprigatito and my daughter toward Fuecoco. Knowing the final typings/movesets, still going with Quaxly...looks be damned! Also that Meowscarada mask looks very similar to a masquerade mask I wore a few years ago...definitely get that vibe rather than court jester looking at it. (and the leaf "cape" just ties that in IMO)
Revealing them at the end and telling us about them first wow you are amazing
Thanks Austin, this convinced me to box my starter as soon as I get it.
I really like the signature moves, they fit the identity of each pokemon really well
No matter what, I was going with the Grass Type, because I always do, but it's nice to know the typings and such, along with the looks!
Tbh I’ve been playing for over a week and i love my skeledirge. both design and stats. i just happened to get a +speed -attack natured at start, didn’t even think to check. i was so excited for the game. once i saw what was up i put the power anklet on her and took er out in “lets go” and shes so fast now man
I’m glad you did this video because I was gonna go with sprigatito but after seeing that final evolution I’ll be going with my second choice of croc boyo
I’ve been team Quaxly since day one. At first when I saw it’s leaked form I didn’t like it as much,but it’s grown on me. Can’t wait.
Kinda same. I mean with Quaxly growing on me.
I was team quaxly but after this I am team fuecoco
Quaxly's final form honestly looks great! It embodies the theme perfectly and I really like the stance it takes when standing. Overall, I like these 3 starters.
I like them all too
I like that it runs like jack sparrow!
I'm so glade I found this video before I decided to pick up ether Scarlet or Violet. Cause now knowing what etch of the starters evolves into quite honestly makes me excited to play this generation. And as much as I like my water type starters, I will admit Fuecoc's evo line dose look the best.
Austin John has the shirt that I remember giving a friend of mine growing up who is obsessed with Nintendo. He would wear it whenever we played anything Nintendo. I want to get one myself at this point, too.
Meowscarada is my favourite design. I think I’ll use that one, but keep it with U turn. It’s hidden ability would make it better, if I’m right. But I don’t know if there’s a way to get an ability patch or something before the post game.
should be buyable somewhere
When I saw how fuecoco’s first evolution looked I was a bit nervous since I was going to pick fuecoco but seeing the last evolution I didn’t worry about it because that last evolution of fuecoco looks amazing
I don’t know how you’ve had time to sleep in the last week, but thanks for this content!
Hey Austin I love your content! I was wondering if we can obtain the other starters in the game? Like from either wild encounters or post game?
I’m glad my friends were so adamant on their starters cause I definitely got the coolest one as leftovers 😂 I love how Skeledirge’s cry reverberates it gives off a menacing aura worthy of my team’s head. I’m not a competitive battler but I’ll defo look into upping its speed 🙏🏾
I absolutely love meowscarada it's definitely a magician he actually reminds me of arcana from Yu-Gi-Oh lmao. I'm used to grass type starters kinda being the "hard mode" of the games. I absolutely love that skeledirge has a random fire bird on it's nose lmao
I ❤ their final designs!! 😍
fuecoco is so cute and i love its evolutions! keeping my fire-type-always decision
Meowscarada looks way better in game than in the spoilers, Love the leather-like textures, totally going fr sprigatito
Genuinely like all three starters. The looks, the stats, and the movepool. Can't wait to have all three, but I get the feeling I'm going with feuccoco mostly because of my team composition
Perfect, the latest uploads are just enough content to get me through until tomorrow !!
