My predictions from last time: 0: Oddish / Bellsprout / Exeggcute (2/3) -- Bulbsaur makes sense for sure to replace Exeggcute. 1: Gloom / Bellsprout / Ivysaur (3/3) 2: Gloom / Weepinbell / Tangela / Exeggcute (3/4) 3: Vileplume / Victreebel / Tangela / Ivysaur (1/4) -- Interesting choice for Venusaur this early, I thought for sure that'd at least be next gym. I like Leafeon this early a lot though, and Bellossom makes sense too. 4: Vileplume / Victreebel / Tangrowth / Bellossom / Exeggutor (2/5) -- I was expecting more Victreebel on these teams. Sunflora this early makes more sense for balance because it is weaker. 5: Vileplume / Victreebel / Tangrowth / Venusaur / Exeggutor (2/5) -- I was hesitant in adding the Johto pokemon too much to my lists. I knew they'd come up but just not as often! Jumpluff makes sense here though. 6: Vileplume / Victreebel / Tangrowth / Bellossom / Exeggutor / Sunflora (2/6) -- Same as above regarding Meganium. Fits for sure, just didn't expect so many Johto pokemon. 7: Vileplume / Victreebel / Tangrowth / Leafeon / Exeggutor / Venusaur (5/6) -- Other than Exeggutor swapped for Bellossom, happy I was able to predict one pretty well, lol 8: Vileplume / Roserade / Florges / Leafeon / Gallade / VenusaurM (2/6) -- I may have jumped the gun a bit on adding the crazy out-of-region pokemon, but I like your team a lot here. Clefable is a good general pokemon to add in to her team I think. I maybe would've replaced Tangrowth at this stage for a more beautiful Pokemon. E4: Vileplume / Roserade / Florges / Exeggutor / Gallade / VenusaurM (3/6) -- I should've kept Leafeon all the way through, lol. I was thinking about Lilligant, but honestly I thought it might be too weak. I'm totally not familiar with how good it is, so that could be valid. CH: Vileplume / Roserade / Florges / Exeggutor / Gallade / VenusaurM (4/6) -- I''ll take 4/6 in the end! Serperior is another good fit here. 53% - not bad. Exeggutor's line being excluded (which, fair!) really ruined a lot of my prediction, lol. I will die on the hill that I think Gallade could totally fit on Erika's squad, but maybe that is really just me. I think the only change I'd make is just switching up the "core four" of the team (Vileplume, Leafeon, Venusaur, Bellossom) with her other pokemon (a little more Victreebel and Tangrowth in the middle) Actual teams for comparison: 0: Oddish / Bellsprout / Bulbasaur 1: Gloom / Bellsprout / Ivysaur 2: Gloom / Weepinbell / Ivysaur / Tangela 3: Vileplume / Leafeon / Venusaur / Bellossom 4: Vileplume / Leafeon / Venusaur / Bellossom / Sunflora 5: Vileplume / Leafeon / Venusaur / Bellossom / Jumpluff 6: Vileplume / Leafeon / Venusaur / Bellossom / Jumpluff / Meganium 7: Vileplume / Leafeon / Venusaur / Bellossom / Victreebel / Tangrowth 8: Vileplume / Leafeon / Venusaur / Clefable / Meganium / Tangrowth E4: Vileplume / Leafeon / VenusaurM / Florges / Meganium / Lilligant CH: Vileplume / Leafeon / VenusaurM / Florges / Serperior / Roserade
That’s sick! I think the best possible team is a combination of our set teams tbh so you might’ve gotten 53%, but I didn’t get 100% at all. I’m excited with your predictions for Koga which I’m uploading in 2 days! Clue: I think I changed it up quite a bit on my Non-Gym teams. 😶
@@Atagu that's true, but I imagine this definitive kanto remake would use things like time machines or dimension wormholes so every pokemon is avaliable, there's a precedent since in gen 2 theres a time capsule thing
in theory it is canon that the gym leaders purposely hold back from using particularly strong strategies because in fact they have to test u but are not intended as an obstacle where instead the super 4 are placed in the sense that any trainer can go around the gyms but only someone competent can beat the super 4 (unless obviously you are in Kalos where eveybody is an incompetent brick)
3:47 Her Pokemon are a screeching carnivorous plant, a mass of writhing tentacles, and a giant parasitic flower that smells like a rotting corpse to attract flies. I would argue her standards for beauty are not what one would exactly call conventional.
Really liked this! Leafeon also fits Erika well due to it being her Sygna Suit partner in Masters. Koga thoughts: 1. Smokescreen in earlier battles 2. A Gengar for hiding in the shadows 3. Some of his gym trainers use Psychic types in the games, so maybe give him one or two more outside of the Psychic/Fire Venomoth that he obviously has in Yellow?
Erika's vision of beauty is the definition of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I mean, Gloom is basically her icon. Not exactly a stereotypical "beautiful" pokemon. The Paras would've absolutely fit here with pokemon like Gloom and Weepinbel. Especially since without the Paras or even Exeggcute line, a decent chunk of her teams aren't grass type teams. They're Grass Poison.
For Erika’s fourth gym team, if you ask me: Ivysaur, Tangela, Sunflora, and Vileplume I think that's a fair team. As consider Burgh and his Leavanny! That's a 10 higher BST Pokémon than Vileplume (500 as compared to 490), during the third gym battle! With such a limited pool to pick from is quite a challenge, and you did awesome again making believable, challenging teams! It is really impressive with how you consider every (and i mean every) aspect of a trainer and pokemon for these teams.
Hahahaha thanks! I was thinking too much on the Gym’s level cap since the 4th Gym’s highest level Pokemon is 34 and Ivysaur evolves at that stage. Appreciate it!!!
I feel like Venemoth and Crobat are the only must haves for Koga's team. I know he uses muk a lot, but really doesnt fit him. Tentacruel is more his speed. Shedinja/Ninjask and Accelgor would fit thematically on Koga's team. Hoping to see Koffing line too. Scyther would also be cool to see. Surprise pick... Ditto. Because ninjas use disguises lol. Toxicroak wouldve been nice, but Brock already took that. Could see Drapion or Gliscor though.
I’m still giving Toxicroak since it’s a great fit and we’ve got so many trainers to cover. Idk about Venomoth tbh, not because of the fit, but because that’s his daughter’s signature Pokemon.
I always really look forward to your videos they’re always so great!! Keep going man you’re doing awesome :)) thanks for giving me a video series to look forward to!!
I love this series! Also, it's been really exciting seeing your subscription count go up. When I first subscribed it was at 994 and now it's almost 2k. Keep up the good work!
I’m loving this series! I do think you should add the TCG and manga as inspiration more though. The TCG sheds more light on Erika by showing how she saves a stray Eevee and it also shows how she’s very wealthy with maids
Great video! I was going to suggest to add some Bug types to Koga's team as I always found really weird that Kanto games have "two" Poison specialists. I read another comment which says Psychic type mons could fit as Drowzee is present in his gym in the games, but I don't think that's something to praise from the game design 🤔 Either way, I know next video will also be very good, hope you enjoy making it 🤝
Thanks! I definitely emphasized the Bug part in, you’d be glad to know. And I didn’t consider the Psychic aspect of it much so I could place the focus more on the more prominent aspects of Koga’s character. It’s also gonna be a longer video. 😮💨 Hope I don’t disappoint tomorrow. 🙌
For Koga, Skuntank from his HGSS rematch is a must, as it gives him the Psychic coverage. His Tentacruel from Let's Go is also great as it covers his Ground weakness. I also think Overqwil really fits his vibe.
I think Accelgor would fit great for koga. They're both ninjas that confound enemies to the point of not being able to fight back, Koga doing so with status effects, and Accelgor doing the same, but with higher speed.
Next, my predictions for Koga. Base pokemon are a lot of Koffing and Grimer, and instead in Yellow, only the Venomoth line. He's also going to have the possibly awkward distinction of being an Elite Four trainer as well as a gym leader, with Ariados, Forretress, and Crobat in that appearance. Koga's Rematch team in HGSS gives a Skuntank, Swalot, and Toxicroak. Tentacruel also appears in LGPE. Poison in general has the nice distinction in Kanto for being very well represented, unlike some other types that don't get a whole lot. I think for sure, Grass types will be excluded (Bulbasaur, Oddish, Bellsprout), but most of the other Pokemon will be on the table, since they don't overlap with any other particular leader that much. Except, perhaps, Giovanni as a ground-type gym leader. I think Nidoqueen/Nidoking will likely fit on Giovanni's team better, so I'll probably not use them here. I think the Crobat line is most likely to be his ace, even though Crobat isn't a native Kanto pokemon itself. I don't think Muk or Weezing really embody the "ninja" theme of Koga very well, but, they are the ones that he uses on his main-game teams, so, it could go either way. 0: Zubat / Koffing / Grimer 1: Golbat / Koffing / Arbok 2: Golbat / Koffing / Beedrill / Arbok 3: Crobat / Weezing / Beedrill / Arbok 4: Crobat / Weezing / Beedrill / Muk / Arbok 5: Crobat / Weezing / Venomoth / Muk / Ariados 6: Crobat / Weezing / Venomoth / Muk / Arbok / Ariados 7: Crobat / Weezing / Nidoking / Muk / Tentacruel / Ariados 8: Crobat / Weezing / Forretress / Muk / Tentacruel / Ariados E4: Crobat / Beedrill-M / Drapion / Toxicroak / Tentacruel / Forretress CH: Crobat / Beedrill-M / Drapion / Toxicroak / Greninja / Weavile I think most of these picks should make sense. Arbok is the one Poison type that Koga never really uses in the main series, but I think it fits the "creeping horror of Poison types". Ariados is a staple from Koga's Johto occurrences, but it's also a bit on the weaker side, so it's the one that I can see being added in fairly early. Tentacruel I think gives good type diversity, and then Forretress is another Elite Four pokemon that deserves a spot. Drapion is a great strong poison type that I think can fit his vibe well, and then Scolipede as well for the champion team. Greninja and Weavile are both ninja pokemon; there's probably a good amount of ones you could add here, but I like those two. I'm not sure if Beedrill will make it into a final early-game team, but I think it honestly fits very well as a ninja-type pokemon. I'm only excluding it because I just don't think it will make it, but I hope I'm wrong, lol Finally, I'd likely put Toxicroak in for at least the Champion and/or Elite Four, but I'm not confident in its spot since it was already on Brock's team. Edit (1): I forgot a Mega, entirely, and then I just googled and saw there really aren't any Poison megas. (Venusaur. already used, Gengar, probably not for Koga, and Beedrill...) If I had to replace one to add in Beedrill-M, It'd probably be Weezing and Scolipede in E4/CH just because Scolipede shares the same type as Beedrill. It's probably most likely that Beedrill-M is added as a mega -- secondarily, some other non-poison type mega -- but I'll leave my teams the way I stated them for now, since I'm not super confident either way, lol Edit (2): I /have/ to use my knowledge from other comments after seeing it... throwing Toxicroak in the mix, ditching Venomoth for some teams, I decided to add Beedrill to the mix (as a base and as as a Mega, as I described above), and then I finally added Nidoking, even though I think it's more for Giovanni, I think it just fits in power level, personally. I regret leaving out Scolipede, but I don't think there's room for both Scolipede and Mega-Beedrill; one had to go. I could probably go back and forth on these for awhile, but that's what I'll stick with!
Wow! We thought of it somewhat similarly and you definitely clutched up with your revisions, I already added the Pokemon you edited in. But I definitely tried to use every type combo in Kanto and I might’ve gone AWOL with a suprise pick for the champion team.
Ok so this is the first video I have seen from your channel and I actually like it. But now back to Koga and his team. He should obviously have a crobat. Other mons that fit his ninja team are accelgor(obviously a ninja bug) plus helps with Psychic types so you dont bring an Alakazam and sweep him. Another one could be drapion/skuntank their dark type is even better against Psychic types. Greninja is clearly a good choice especially against ground types so again you dont bring a ground type and sweep Koga. Maybe Qwlfish too as it is based on a pufferfish which have one of the most deadly toxins in the world I say its very fitting for Koga. Not the strongest mon around but can be used as a toxic/toxic spikes/spikes setter at the start of a battle which again like a ninja gives Koga some hazards(or traps if you prefer) for the opponent to overcome. Also in the anime it uses voltorb as traps that explode all the time creating a distraction while the ninja Koga in our case strikes you from the shadows without being noticed. Again quite fitting for a ninja master. Obviously the usual koffing/weezing for the smokescreen shenanigans. He also uses a forretress which is basically there to spread entry hazards and tank a few hits(except fire of course). Zoroark could also fit him with his Illusion ability just like a ninja tricking you into thinking something is in front of you when it isnt or when its something else. So yeah I think this fits as well plus it can disguise itself as any pokemon you send before it in battle(due to its Illusion ability) which again is 100% fitting for a ninja gym leader. Obvously I didnt mention the usual poison types he uses. I imagine he also uses some dark types as well and maybe some bug and water types(like greninja and qwlfish).
Greninja would be a good fit for Koga's elite four or champion team. It's a ninja, which works for him, and with Protean or can become poison type with Gunk Shot
I'm glad you gave respect to Bellossom. It wouldn't have felt right if she didn't use it from time to time. Also, I know who you're giving Eggecutor to. And you're right, it fits better with her.
@ no problem. I can respect that. She did use one for the World Leader’s and Type Expert Tournaments in Gen 5. So if you do end up having it added, maybe for a 4-5 Gym Badge team, but not on any other teams. Just a thought.
Great teams as always the only pokemon you might couldve added is tsareena since its a loyal princess, as for koga i would like to see his venomoth from the anime and the johto elite 4 team also weezing should be his Partner pokemon like Erika's bellosom
Thanks! I didn’t give her Tsareena because she’s peaceful, and Tsareena’s aggressive and brutal. Also, I’m iffy on giving Koga Venomoth because that’s his daughter’s signature Pokemon.
@@Atagu yes you are right about tsareena but i tought ariados was his daughters partner pokemon,and i know its a bit to early to ask that but if the kanto series is doing well are you gonna make a series about the johto gym leaders?
These do feel like they could pose I good challenge! Contrary serpierior is a fun choice for leaf storm shenanigans, and I can't think of a more beautiful Pokémon than Victreebel!😂
If Koga was both a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member, then it's only fair that applies to everyone else. It'd also be interesting seeing Iris's Elite Four team, to bridge the gap between being a Gym Leader in BW and a Champion in B2W2.
I think venusaur right after the third badge would be quite hard for people starting with a squirtle😅. Maybe give her a victreebel, and then give venusaur after the 5th badge or so.
@ a youtuber interviewed a former “pro”, and he said like 98% of players cheat (using genned mons, genned parents which counts, adding items like rare candies and master balls, etc.). Thats so sad. We need to hold these people accountable.
No thoughts on the Erika team, I think it's alright. I mostly bave one thing to say for the next gym leader though: i'm a firm believer that Crobat should be his ace Pokemon
I would say "What about Tsareena, considering that her name implies royalty?", but chances are, her role on the team as a Physical Attacker would've already been taken by Leafeon.
The nap princess should get the ultamate pillow Snorlax (yes Snorlax is my fav mom but come on) Hisuian Lilligant Tareena is a grass type queen Sinistcha
Idk, I wanted to keep Erika’s flower girl and kimono character on, so I didn’t choose snorlax or hypno. Hisuian lilligant would be perfect, but I opted out since I think it’s extinct. Sinistchea’s a good shout tho.
My predictions from last time:
0: Oddish / Bellsprout / Exeggcute (2/3) -- Bulbsaur makes sense for sure to replace Exeggcute.
1: Gloom / Bellsprout / Ivysaur (3/3)
2: Gloom / Weepinbell / Tangela / Exeggcute (3/4)
3: Vileplume / Victreebel / Tangela / Ivysaur (1/4) -- Interesting choice for Venusaur this early, I thought for sure that'd at least be next gym. I like Leafeon this early a lot though, and Bellossom makes sense too.
4: Vileplume / Victreebel / Tangrowth / Bellossom / Exeggutor (2/5) -- I was expecting more Victreebel on these teams. Sunflora this early makes more sense for balance because it is weaker.
5: Vileplume / Victreebel / Tangrowth / Venusaur / Exeggutor (2/5) -- I was hesitant in adding the Johto pokemon too much to my lists. I knew they'd come up but just not as often! Jumpluff makes sense here though.
6: Vileplume / Victreebel / Tangrowth / Bellossom / Exeggutor / Sunflora (2/6) -- Same as above regarding Meganium. Fits for sure, just didn't expect so many Johto pokemon.
7: Vileplume / Victreebel / Tangrowth / Leafeon / Exeggutor / Venusaur (5/6) -- Other than Exeggutor swapped for Bellossom, happy I was able to predict one pretty well, lol
8: Vileplume / Roserade / Florges / Leafeon / Gallade / VenusaurM (2/6) -- I may have jumped the gun a bit on adding the crazy out-of-region pokemon, but I like your team a lot here. Clefable is a good general pokemon to add in to her team I think. I maybe would've replaced Tangrowth at this stage for a more beautiful Pokemon.
E4: Vileplume / Roserade / Florges / Exeggutor / Gallade / VenusaurM (3/6) -- I should've kept Leafeon all the way through, lol. I was thinking about Lilligant, but honestly I thought it might be too weak. I'm totally not familiar with how good it is, so that could be valid.
CH: Vileplume / Roserade / Florges / Exeggutor / Gallade / VenusaurM (4/6) -- I''ll take 4/6 in the end! Serperior is another good fit here.
53% - not bad. Exeggutor's line being excluded (which, fair!) really ruined a lot of my prediction, lol. I will die on the hill that I think Gallade could totally fit on Erika's squad, but maybe that is really just me. I think the only change I'd make is just switching up the "core four" of the team (Vileplume, Leafeon, Venusaur, Bellossom) with her other pokemon (a little more Victreebel and Tangrowth in the middle)
Actual teams for comparison:
0: Oddish / Bellsprout / Bulbasaur
1: Gloom / Bellsprout / Ivysaur
2: Gloom / Weepinbell / Ivysaur / Tangela
3: Vileplume / Leafeon / Venusaur / Bellossom
4: Vileplume / Leafeon / Venusaur / Bellossom / Sunflora
5: Vileplume / Leafeon / Venusaur / Bellossom / Jumpluff
6: Vileplume / Leafeon / Venusaur / Bellossom / Jumpluff / Meganium
7: Vileplume / Leafeon / Venusaur / Bellossom / Victreebel / Tangrowth
8: Vileplume / Leafeon / Venusaur / Clefable / Meganium / Tangrowth
E4: Vileplume / Leafeon / VenusaurM / Florges / Meganium / Lilligant
CH: Vileplume / Leafeon / VenusaurM / Florges / Serperior / Roserade
That’s sick! I think the best possible team is a combination of our set teams tbh so you might’ve gotten 53%, but I didn’t get 100% at all.
I’m excited with your predictions for Koga which I’m uploading in 2 days!
Clue: I think I changed it up quite a bit on my Non-Gym teams. 😶
"I only use beautiful Pokemon"
Uses Victreebel
Okay Erika
Would have gone with a Hisuian Lilligant. Fits her kimono girl theme n gives her a fighting type too
I’d love to, but I’m pretty sure it’s extinct, no?
@@Atagu that's true, but I imagine this definitive kanto remake would use things like time machines or dimension wormholes so every pokemon is avaliable, there's a precedent since in gen 2 theres a time capsule thing
@@Atagu
Say its her fossil pokémon!
With the kimono thing, definitely a Froslass for her Champion team. Still weak to fire but fits her so well and adds to the type variation...
in theory it is canon that the gym leaders purposely hold back from using particularly strong strategies because in fact they have to test u but are not intended as an obstacle where instead the super 4 are placed
in the sense that any trainer can go around the gyms but only someone competent can beat the super 4 (unless obviously you are in Kalos where eveybody is an incompetent brick)
3:47 Her Pokemon are a screeching carnivorous plant, a mass of writhing tentacles, and a giant parasitic flower that smells like a rotting corpse to attract flies. I would argue her standards for beauty are not what one would exactly call conventional.
True yeah, I wanted to change that a bit lol
To be fair, it was Kanto. They didn't have much to pull from.
Really liked this! Leafeon also fits Erika well due to it being her Sygna Suit partner in Masters.
Koga thoughts:
1. Smokescreen in earlier battles
2. A Gengar for hiding in the shadows
3. Some of his gym trainers use Psychic types in the games, so maybe give him one or two more outside of the Psychic/Fire Venomoth that he obviously has in Yellow?
The Psychic part’s a good shout, I’ll defo consider it.
Also, I’m saving Gengar for another Kanto Gym Leader 👀
Erika's vision of beauty is the definition of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". I mean, Gloom is basically her icon. Not exactly a stereotypical "beautiful" pokemon. The Paras would've absolutely fit here with pokemon like Gloom and Weepinbel. Especially since without the Paras or even Exeggcute line, a decent chunk of her teams aren't grass type teams. They're Grass Poison.
For Erika’s fourth gym team, if you ask me:
Ivysaur, Tangela, Sunflora, and Vileplume
I think that's a fair team. As consider Burgh and his Leavanny! That's a 10 higher BST Pokémon than Vileplume (500 as compared to 490), during the third gym battle!

Get better soon man, don't over do it, let your voice rest
Appreciate it 🙏
Hope you feel better soon!
Congrats on hitting 2k . This series is really fun I can't wait for next episode
Thanks! Should be out tomorrow!
Another fantastic vid Adrian. Keep it up
I feel like Venemoth and Crobat are the only must haves for Koga's team.
I know he uses muk a lot, but really doesnt fit him. Tentacruel is more his speed.
Shedinja/Ninjask and Accelgor would fit thematically on Koga's team.
Hoping to see Koffing line too.
Scyther would also be cool to see.
Surprise pick... Ditto. Because ninjas use disguises lol.
Toxicroak wouldve been nice, but Brock already took that.
Could see Drapion or Gliscor though.
I’m still giving Toxicroak since it’s a great fit and we’ve got so many trainers to cover.

Florges is perfect. You slayed that
Glad I didn’t disappoint! 😮💨
Worth the day wait :)
⏰
Great ideas man
Thanks! 🙏
Give Koga FRED
koga is fast poison type trainer who uses toxic a lot so focus on toxic learners in his team
Okay, I’ll give him Eternatus
@Atagu bro koga already had a e4 team you can use his hgss e4 rematch team for his e4 team & no legendary would work in his favour
I love that you’re using outfits from Pokémon Masters or other games if they’d become Champion of the region
I’m loving this series! I do think you should add the TCG and manga as inspiration more though. The TCG sheds more light on Erika by showing how she saves a stray Eevee and it also shows how she’s very wealthy with maids
The TCG has backstories??? I’ll note that down 👌
Great video! I was going to suggest to add some Bug types to Koga's team as I always found really weird that Kanto games have "two" Poison specialists. I read another comment which says Psychic type mons could fit as Drowzee is present in his gym in the games, but I don't think that's something to praise from the game design 🤔
Either way, I know next video will also be very good, hope you enjoy making it 🤝
Thanks! I definitely emphasized the Bug part in, you’d be glad to know.
And I didn’t consider the Psychic aspect of it much so I could place the focus more on the more prominent aspects of Koga’s character.
It’s also gonna be a longer video. 😮💨
Hope I don’t disappoint tomorrow. 🙌
For Koga, Skuntank from his HGSS rematch is a must, as it gives him the Psychic coverage. His Tentacruel from Let's Go is also great as it covers his Ground weakness. I also think Overqwil really fits his vibe.
After the gym leaders can u do ash companion/friends throughout her journey possible pokemon
Yerrrr, it’s already in the plans 👍 Just gotta rewatch the anime a bit
Koga should definitely have an overquill ninja with traditionally use pretty deadly poisons and puffer fish Venom is one of them
I think Accelgor would fit great for koga. They're both ninjas that confound enemies to the point of not being able to fight back, Koga doing so with status effects, and Accelgor doing the same, but with higher speed.
Next, my predictions for Koga. Base pokemon are a lot of Koffing and Grimer, and instead in Yellow, only the Venomoth line. He's also going to have the possibly awkward distinction of being an Elite Four trainer as well as a gym leader, with Ariados, Forretress, and Crobat in that appearance. Koga's Rematch team in HGSS gives a Skuntank, Swalot, and Toxicroak. Tentacruel also appears in LGPE.
Poison in general has the nice distinction in Kanto for being very well represented, unlike some other types that don't get a whole lot. I think for sure, Grass types will be excluded (Bulbasaur, Oddish, Bellsprout), but most of the other Pokemon will be on the table, since they don't overlap with any other particular leader that much. Except, perhaps, Giovanni as a ground-type gym leader. I think Nidoqueen/Nidoking will likely fit on Giovanni's team better, so I'll probably not use them here.
I think the Crobat line is most likely to be his ace, even though Crobat isn't a native Kanto pokemon itself. I don't think Muk or Weezing really embody the "ninja" theme of Koga very well, but, they are the ones that he uses on his main-game teams, so, it could go either way.
0: Zubat / Koffing / Grimer
1: Golbat / Koffing / Arbok
2: Golbat / Koffing / Beedrill / Arbok
3: Crobat / Weezing / Beedrill / Arbok
4: Crobat / Weezing / Beedrill / Muk / Arbok
5: Crobat / Weezing / Venomoth / Muk / Ariados
6: Crobat / Weezing / Venomoth / Muk / Arbok / Ariados
7: Crobat / Weezing / Nidoking / Muk / Tentacruel / Ariados
8: Crobat / Weezing / Forretress / Muk / Tentacruel / Ariados
E4: Crobat / Beedrill-M / Drapion / Toxicroak / Tentacruel / Forretress
CH: Crobat / Beedrill-M / Drapion / Toxicroak / Greninja / Weavile
I think most of these picks should make sense. Arbok is the one Poison type that Koga never really uses in the main series, but I think it fits the "creeping horror of Poison types". Ariados is a staple from Koga's Johto occurrences, but it's also a bit on the weaker side, so it's the one that I can see being added in fairly early. Tentacruel I think gives good type diversity, and then Forretress is another Elite Four pokemon that deserves a spot. Drapion is a great strong poison type that I think can fit his vibe well, and then Scolipede as well for the champion team. Greninja and Weavile are both ninja pokemon; there's probably a good amount of ones you could add here, but I like those two.
I'm not sure if Beedrill will make it into a final early-game team, but I think it honestly fits very well as a ninja-type pokemon. I'm only excluding it because I just don't think it will make it, but I hope I'm wrong, lol
Finally, I'd likely put Toxicroak in for at least the Champion and/or Elite Four, but I'm not confident in its spot since it was already on Brock's team.
Edit (1): I forgot a Mega, entirely, and then I just googled and saw there really aren't any Poison megas. (Venusaur. already used, Gengar, probably not for Koga, and Beedrill...)
If I had to replace one to add in Beedrill-M, It'd probably be Weezing and Scolipede in E4/CH just because Scolipede shares the same type as Beedrill.
It's probably most likely that Beedrill-M is added as a mega -- secondarily, some other non-poison type mega -- but I'll leave my teams the way I stated them for now, since I'm not super confident either way, lol
Edit (2): I /have/ to use my knowledge from other comments after seeing it... throwing Toxicroak in the mix, ditching Venomoth for some teams, I decided to add Beedrill to the mix (as a base and as as a Mega, as I described above), and then I finally added Nidoking, even though I think it's more for Giovanni, I think it just fits in power level, personally. I regret leaving out Scolipede, but I don't think there's room for both Scolipede and Mega-Beedrill; one had to go. I could probably go back and forth on these for awhile, but that's what I'll stick with!
Wow! We thought of it somewhat similarly and you definitely clutched up with your revisions, I already added the Pokemon you edited in.
But I definitely tried to use every type combo in Kanto and I might’ve gone AWOL with a suprise pick for the champion team.
Never would have guessed Koga would be next !
i think fairy works for erika, because fairies are often associated with nature in classical folklore!
I love your videos, now i wanna make my thoughts in video
YESSSSSS! i’ve been waiting 😈😈😈😈😈
😈
HOW DO YOU KEEP COMMENTING SO FAST EVERYTIME?!?
🔄 How do you comment exactly when I check my comments??? 🤔
@@Atagu idk i’m just a god
@@Atagu btw love the vids 👍
Ok so this is the first video I have seen from your channel and I actually like it. But now back to Koga and his team. He should obviously have a crobat. Other mons that fit his ninja team are accelgor(obviously a ninja bug) plus helps with Psychic types so you dont bring an Alakazam and sweep him.
Another one could be drapion/skuntank their dark type is even better against Psychic types. Greninja is clearly a good choice especially against ground types so again you dont bring a ground type and sweep Koga. Maybe Qwlfish too as it is based on a pufferfish which have one of the most deadly toxins in the world I say its very fitting for Koga.
Not the strongest mon around but can be used as a toxic/toxic spikes/spikes setter at the start of a battle which again like a ninja gives Koga some hazards(or traps if you prefer) for the opponent to overcome. Also in the anime it uses voltorb as traps that explode all the time creating a distraction while the ninja Koga in our case strikes you from the shadows without being noticed. Again quite fitting for a ninja master.
Obviously the usual koffing/weezing for the smokescreen shenanigans. He also uses a forretress which is basically there to spread entry hazards and tank a few hits(except fire of course). Zoroark could also fit him with his Illusion ability just like a ninja tricking you into thinking something is in front of you when it isnt or when its something else. So yeah I think this fits as well plus it can disguise itself as any pokemon you send before it in battle(due to its Illusion ability) which again is 100% fitting for a ninja gym leader.
Obvously I didnt mention the usual poison types he uses. I imagine he also uses some dark types as well and maybe some bug and water types(like greninja and qwlfish).
These videos are great I think it would be cool to see what you think other game gym leader teams would be like after kantos
Yup, I said I would at the end of the vid
Best one so far.
Greninja would be a good fit for Koga's elite four or champion team. It's a ninja, which works for him, and with Protean or can become poison type with Gunk Shot
Erika For Real
I'm glad you gave respect to Bellossom. It wouldn't have felt right if she didn't use it from time to time.
Also, I know who you're giving Eggecutor to. And you're right, it fits better with her.
I’m still undecided on giving Sabrina Exeggutor, would make sense tho.
I was talking about another Kanto Gym Leader 👀
@ no problem. I can respect that.
She did use one for the World Leader’s and Type Expert Tournaments in Gen 5. So if you do end up having it added, maybe for a 4-5 Gym Badge team, but not on any other teams.
Just a thought.
Good points 👍
Hii
Koga is gonna use 6 muk with minimize
Close, Koga’s using 6 muks with minimize, and 1 minimize with muk
Give Koga an Accelgor
Amazing video !
Instead of Roserade, I would have given her a Dragonite, since she has a Dragonair in the TCG and he is a kindhearted Pokemon.
Thanks! I’d definitely use Dragonite if I didn’t put so much emphasis on her Nature Princess part
Victreebell could fit on Kogas team and it provides ground type coverage.
It also could have been cool if she got whimsicott in her champion team so she would've kept her grass type only team
rowlet is aslo a great choice , rowlet also sleeps most of like Erika so that would be great
😂
Great teams as always the only pokemon you might couldve added is tsareena since its a loyal princess, as for koga i would like to see his venomoth from the anime and the johto elite 4 team also weezing should be his Partner pokemon like Erika's bellosom
Thanks!
I didn’t give her Tsareena because she’s peaceful, and Tsareena’s aggressive and brutal.
Also, I’m iffy on giving Koga Venomoth because that’s his daughter’s signature Pokemon.
@@Atagu yes you are right about tsareena but i tought ariados was his daughters partner pokemon,and i know its a bit to early to ask that but if the kanto series is doing well are you gonna make a series about the johto gym leaders?
👍
Ooh nah, you’re right. Ariados is her Masters EX Pokemon.
I’m still gonna give Venomoth to her so her signature Pokemon is from Kanto.
Pretty sure all of these teams could still be beaten by one Crobat
She’ll beat the crobat up herself
@@Atagu Erika using that inner strength that she has in the manga, I see.
These do feel like they could pose I good challenge! Contrary serpierior is a fun choice for leaf storm shenanigans, and I can't think of a more beautiful Pokémon than Victreebel!😂
Yeah, Victreebel’s too beautiful for Erika 😮💨
Are you going to cover the alight 4 teams as gym leaders?
👍
If Koga was both a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member, then it's only fair that applies to everyone else.
It'd also be interesting seeing Iris's Elite Four team, to bridge the gap between being a Gym Leader in BW and a Champion in B2W2.
True.
I really want to get to the future trainers in other regions really bad, but I gotta do this in order.
Koga needs Crobat
I think venusaur right after the third badge would be quite hard for people starting with a squirtle😅. Maybe give her a victreebel, and then give venusaur after the 5th badge or so.
U changed the outfit this time though. So it's all good🙂.
Yeah, would be better!
Also, I didn’t have any other outfits for Surge! 🤣 Gimme break!!!
@@Atagu😂
Ain't it weird how Sheer Heart Attack(the stand, not the song) is a hand?
fax
Babe wake up Adrian posted (there is no babe only me)
im babe 👀
@ you know what hell yeah
1:59 You know he is a cheater right?
Fr? Aren’t a lot of them cheaters?
@ a youtuber interviewed a former “pro”, and he said like 98% of players cheat (using genned mons, genned parents which counts, adding items like rare candies and master balls, etc.). Thats so sad. We need to hold these people accountable.
No thoughts on the Erika team, I think it's alright. I mostly bave one thing to say for the next gym leader though: i'm a firm believer that Crobat should be his ace Pokemon
Dang, I thought I cooked a bit today.
Yerr, don’t know who else other than Crobat 👌
Champion Koga's team:
Galarian weezing
Scolipede
Drapion
Toxicroak
Alolan muk
Naganadale
I only have 1 of them in my champion team for him
Also!
Greninja ninjask Shedinja Toxicroak and maybe Zoroark if we're being crazy for koga also scizor cause he uses a scyther in the anime
Scizor makes sense 👍 Everyone’s good except Shedinja and Zoroark, two gimmicky and crazy Pokemon to implement haha.
I’ll see tho! 👊
I would say "What about Tsareena, considering that her name implies royalty?", but chances are, her role on the team as a Physical Attacker would've already been taken by Leafeon.
I considered it, but I thought it’s dex entries are too brutal for Erika who’s peaceful.
too little sunflora screen time but other than that 10/10
Ik, I had to balance the Kanto mons as much as I could’ve
I'm here againnnn
Would koha have his own battle bond like greninja? becuase not only does it fit it would be awesome
These videos get me brock hard
._.
A Grass/Fire mon could be great for competitive. Too bad Scovillain isn't very attractive. Or good.
You really fixed the gym battles. In the game the badges are too easy, making them forgettable to me.
I think Venusaur might be too strong for Gym 4.
Yup 🙌
Won't be that strong unless it has earthquake
Erika yippe
I would’ve chosen Lurantis over Roserade or Serperior.
Is Janine after Koga???
👍
Is she elegant or is she just high off of all the spores in her gym?
Yes
both
Id not put all her three pokemon to be grass/poison
Who else then?
The nap princess should get the ultamate pillow Snorlax (yes Snorlax is my fav mom but come on)
Hisuian Lilligant
Tareena is a grass type queen
Sinistcha
Idk, I wanted to keep Erika’s flower girl and kimono character on, so I didn’t choose snorlax or hypno.
Hisuian lilligant would be perfect, but I opted out since I think it’s extinct.
Sinistchea’s a good shout tho.
And also, I didn’t give Tsareena since it’s quite a brutal and aggressive Pokemon and Erika’s quite peaceful
@@Atagu It's not comfermed Extinct.
@@Atagu Oh, so flower girl and sleepy theme right??
@@Atagu what's yo think about Musharna
Too many grass / poison types
fair
@ I think I'm being greedy haha just wanted to see more type variety but the team is appropriate for Erika ☺️ love these videos!
Welcome to Kanto
Thanks! And yeah, Kanto to welcome
