Mathematically, WetWetKevKev is better than Luiz in most cases. WWKK has better Special Attack(85 vs Luiz's 60) and water and ice are both special attacks. Gyrados has an impressive Attack stat of 125 but the only physical attacks it learns are Normal type and Earthquake. WWKK has a slightly better defense(80vs79) and slight worse sp. def(95vs100) but has 50 more hp than gyrados. So its bulkier and stronger, which is perfect for the Nicklocke
I love me some 8bitluiz, but I have to agree. WWKK is just going to be better in almost any situation. Really the only meaningful thing that a Gyarados has over a Lapras is speed. Lapras has way more HP and Special Attack (for things like water & ice moves). Both of them have pretty much the same Defense and Special Defense. Once Nick puts surf on WWKK then learns Ice beam, it'll have great move options. ttdr: Lapras has better attack, and will be better defensively (way more HP) and will have better utility with ice moves.
@@TheRealGarate Another possible option is that they just evolve their Eevee to Vaporeon. Same HP and Spec Def as Lapras, way better Spec Attack, and marginally better speed. Plus, less defensive weaknesses. They'd have to buy the Ice Beam TM to give to it to make it a more optimal ice attacker, but it'd be a better option for just a straight up water type.
@@AddMiller221 true, I just dont think they're gonna save up enough for any of those TM's lol idk if there were better options but my favorite money making place was Four Island on the little island with the lady who gave you a Luxury Ball for showing her specific pokemon. It was filled with rich ass kids but thats not available til post game im pretty sure
@@TheRealGarate I mean, they have 90k+ right now. They could go grab ice beam + flamethrower, if they wanted and/or the held items that boost attack power.
Someone needs to tell them that the Poké Ball next to the Pokémon name in battle means they’ve already caught it. They keep asking and have made a few mistakes in that regard, e.g. Goldeen.
Fun stream, but I kind of wish they'd stay away from looking things up online as much as possible whenever they have problems. Watching Nick make mistakes is the best part of these streams. No risk it, no biscuit.
8bitLuiz's Special Attack is garbo, meaning his water moves won't be that strong (look at his Water Pulse vs Charizard) Lapras or Vaporeon are the better choices from here
Andy drawing of Charizard is INCREDIBLE 🥲

Lapras ice moves will come in super clutch in the future . Lapras will also have higher HP than 8bit. Plus KevKevwetwet 💧
Big fan of this series, have watched them all
I think bigthicktom and WetWetKevKev have to be a mainstay for the rest of the journey. Both are great mon’s
Is BigThicTom getting double XP since he was traded by Prof Kev? Is that why he is leveling up so fast?
I love 8bitluiz but it’s time he’s benched in favor of WetWetKevKev - a far water superior pokemon in this gen

People do tell them lol things just need constant repeating often
I never knew that! Great call out!!
@@SnowBikeMike Just trying my best to help the team! ☺️

100% agree, commenting to hopefully boost this so the guys will see!
Agree. The live chat helping is fun but Kev googling stuff isn’t.
Yeah it’s a little annoying when they spoil upcoming fights or levels of enemy pokemon. It ruins the surprise factor

I haven't watched the whole VOD yet, but has anybody brought up to Nick how he's basically playing as John McClane in Die Hard with Silph Co.?
😂😂
When you get to the Elite Four, you are going to need that Lapras. It will be able to basically beat 2 of the elite four on its own.
Man, I was really in favor of keeping 8bitluiz but after reading the comments I’m on team KevKevWetWet for sure. That HP buff is no joke!
This is fantastic content! Keep killing it guys! And I’m gonna join team Lapras, new Pokémon are always fun to see!
HoofHearted wad the name of a horse in the Grand National. Since then I paid more attention to horse pun names... not that I'm a gambling man.
Neigh, don't foal around.
It might be time to move on from 8bitluiz as cool as he is
8bitLuiz was raised from a lowly magikarp 😭
Strategy be damned! We don’t abandon family 💯💯
8BitLuiz is also flying type... but he can't learn a single flying type move. Not even by TM. Its like its just there to make him x4 weak to thunder.
Just makes him more unique than other water types. Especially back in the beginning.
