It does make little sense when you're a beginner or just unfamiliar with how competitive works, but with experience you start to get it a little more and sometimes it might make you feel like a nerd when you understand it
0:23 Not quite. Beads of Ruin effectively applies a x1.33 multiplier to the ENTIRE stat, not just the base stat. And since base stats are added together with EVs and IVs (and 5) to get the final stat, that actually ends up being equivalent to base 196. That's just a little higher than Mega Mewtwo Y.
Just a casual 3 and a half fucking thousand special attack equivalent. On a neutral hit. Into a quad weak Mon like Snowbama, even max Sp.Def doesn’t stop it getting 1 hit 8-9 times over. I also, just for fun, ran calcs on the lowest special bulk quad fire-weak pokemon, paras, and beefed up Chi-Yu as high as possible., and used Helping Hand boost to bring back Chi-Yu’s power from the nerfs. The highest damage amount I got was 62312, or 566472.7% of paras’s health. The thing got killed 5 thousand times over
Chi Yo stinks of Fish Brought to you by the Houndoom squad. My favourite moment of Chi Yu was switching into it with my "check" and still eating 55+% hp
I actually have started running Torkoal in trick room parties. Just so i can mode switch with fluttermain, and chi-yu. And has the side effect of turning off rain/snow. As well as countering Roaring Moon's acrobatics. Probably the most broken party ive ever run (without megas).
@gesugaoevilface7876 Your English being bad has nothing to do with the amount of pokemon. It's not a person "maining" the character "flutter", it's a fucking "mane".
I seriously start to get tired of these one dimensional pokemon Gamefreak keeps creating They arent balanced around some cool Gimmicks or like their typing or movepool Just "What if a Pokemon clicked their stabs and wins the game" We saw this with the Fossil Dracovish and with Chien-pao and Urshifu I think somewhere down the line Gamefreak just freaking gave up and cool deep gameplay for them is "Press one Button the game" Amazing Powerpoint yo!
From my understanding, hyper offense was just too good. Once those broken mons are banned, I don't see a fundamental difference between gen 9 and earlier gens. It has always been hazards, status, knock off, safely switch your breaker in, faint something, or do chip damage, set up sweeper, or win the sack game, or eliminate switch-in. The only difference between gen 8/9 and early gens is that they gave overall bad mons a gimmick/niche... like overall bad Dracovish fishous rend, overall bad mousehold population bomb and tiddy up, mediocre H-arcane rock head and recoil moves, overall bad falinks with omniboost, last respect mons, rage fist.... giving overall bad mons one gimmick is a good thing (better than early gen where bad mons are just overall bad without any interesting gimmick). They just need to not make the gimmick too overpowered (or we just ban them)
@@bohanxu6125 I wouldn't call Chi-Yu a gimmick. Fast special sweepers have never been bad, especially not ones with a base 135 special attack and base 100 speed (Looking at you, Volcarona). It'd be perfectly serviceable without its ability. If anything, Chi-Yu's biggest problem is how little it deviates from the formula. The only really "unique" thing about it is that it hits harder than its competition. It doesn't use any moves with an interesting effect and its ability just makes its moves hit harder. Raw power is never interesting on its own unless you add a serious caveat, drawback or condition to it.
@@dragonslair951167 "it hits harder than its competition" so is dracovish fishous rend... so is H-arcane rock head. By gimmick, I mean some kind of steroid. like I said "like overall bad Dracovish fishous rend, overall bad mousehold population bomb and tiddy up, mediocre H-arcane rock head and recoil moves, overall bad falinks with omniboost, last respect mons, rage fist" Chi-Yu is the no drawback 30% damage boost in a metagame where sun was good. In this type of steroid is what gen 8 and 9 are differeng from preious gens. Previous gens have strong mon because of sheer base stats. Gen 8 and 9 tend to introduce something unique about a mon to make it strong.
@@bohanxu6125 Which gens are you referring to? From Gen 6 onward, the meta was almost always dominated by pokes with really powerful abilities, signature moves or both. Mega Mawile, Mega Kangaskhan, Aegislash, Landorus-T, Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, Mega Rayquaza, Mega Gengar, Xerneas, Tapu Koko, Incineroar... Also, lots of Gen 9 mons have insane base stats. Flutter Mane's special attack and speed are just 15 points short of Deoxys-Normal's, and its special defense is only 25 points short of Deoxys-Defense's. It's like Mega Manectric but without a team restriction, or any way to switch into it safely. Besides, who cares if Chi-Yu's damage comes from a powerful signature ability or raw stats when the outcome is exactly the same either way? The math in the background doesn't matter if the playstyle is the same "Click 1 button to OHKO everything" shtick.
I remember i was facing against a torkoal trick room team My specs chi yu was at -2 sp atk after one overheat,the opponent got the trick room and sent in torkoal -2 choice specs overheat in the sun did 68% to torkoal...........
Setting up Trick Room to counter Chi-Yu almost never works either since most TR setters are Ghost or Psychic types. Even with Tera + Follow Me, you basically have to sacrifice something to get TR set up.
Ok, 135 special attack in itself might be messed up… in generation 1. Alakazam, Chandelure, Haxorous, Darmanitan, Latios, and most pseudo-legendaries all have one equal to or higher than 135 base attack (physical or special). That concludes my party pooping paragraph.
Latios is only 130, and then for pseudos only Salamence/Metagross/Baxcalibur tie/exceed on offenses. Dragonite/Tyranitar are just below at 134, while Goodra and Dragapult exceed 135 on Spdef and Speed. Hydreigon and Kommo'o's max stats are 125 in SpA and Def
On top of this, if you pair chi-yu with intimidate, chi-yu can survive a lot of super effective hits without any investment to anything. -1 252 Atk Landorus-Therian Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Chi-Yu: 110-132 (84.6 - 101.5%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO -1 252 Atk Sword of Ruin Chien-Pao Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Ghost Chi-Yu: 120-144 (92.3 - 110.7%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO What was happening when this pokemon was being designed this is just mega houndoom on steroids.

I play with and study alot of game development. I also play and study alot of Yo-Kai Watch 3. Reason I do that is because I am learning game development and wanna make my own original monster collector. Yo-Kai Watch 3 tends to avoid alot of Pokemon's balance issues due to how the system works or how certain monsters are designed. For example, there is a Yo-Kai called Grubbles with a blanket effect passive skill that works even if the user is in the back that debuffs all monsters' Defense stat. However, it is 10% debuff. The user is also debuffed. The user itself, Grubbles, is a frail low Rank magic attacker so it cannot really make use of it without building a team of phys attackers around it. WAY better balance philosophy and design than Chi-Yu. That id just one of hundreds of examples how Yo-Kai Watch 3 is a better designed game.
I know your videos are for people that like Pokémon and all, but so far all of them just made me think the fans must have Stockholm Syndrome to keep buying and playing this
I feel like how they can rework the the ruin abilities should be like setting a 3 turn field effect of whatever that ruin ability does that also applies to the user, and can only set it once like how the Hero duo abilities are nerfed. The snow leopard and the goldfish might be still broken in a singles context but would be far less obnoxious in a doubles setting.

That damage calculation almost made me punch my monitor. Overheat drops your special and does not 2HKO. What is next saying Explosion 2HKO's something.
yeah, i wish the showdown calc worked differently. I was hoping to get across that even quad resists can't switch in multiple times, but it comes off a bit odd lol
Bro’s probably the best treasure of ruins. Wtf did they nerf him?!
volume is too low my friend
Yeah, I had to change my recording area for this one, it should be ok next time
May I interest you with a calc
252 Atk Choice Band Tough Claws Lycanroc-Dusk Accelerock vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Chi-Yu: 284-336 (113.1 - 133.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Imagine it learning a 120 base power dark move.
I like your stuff, but I find it hard to hear the audio!
Yeah, I had some audio issues with this one so sorry about that. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it!

The "of ruin" abilities are infuriating.
Fun for a playthrough against turo or sada though which is the only thing that matters
Chi-Yu
So basically Chi-Yu’s a Diamond in the rough?
"just switch in arcanine with flash fire lol"
You may need to make your audio louder.
The audio balance on this is absurdly low
Yeah, I had no idea what I was doing lmao I’ve fixed it on more recent videos
The other's I watched were def fine, so glad ya worked it out, the actual contents are great
I love you
Le fishe au lava
Wait, when did we see 145 SpA Chiyu/ how do we know it used to have that
That fat goldfish thing should be fairly slow tbh
I wish Chi-Yu had its original bst but put the 10 stats into speed instead of special attack and give it Quiver Dance.
Jesus the audio is quiet
yeah im kinda new to this so im figuring out my audio stuff.
The Omastar example doesnt hold up when Omastar has such middling defensive stats vs chi yu.
Like, I dont disagree with ya but come on.
I play with and study alot of game development. I also play and study alot of Yo-Kai Watch 3. Reason I do that is because I am learning game development and wanna make my own original monster collector.
Yo-Kai Watch 3 tends to avoid alot of Pokemon's balance issues due to how the system works or how certain monsters are designed.
For example, there is a Yo-Kai called Grubbles with a blanket effect passive skill that works even if the user is in the back that debuffs all monsters' Defense stat.
However, it is 10% debuff.
The user is also debuffed.
The user itself, Grubbles, is a frail low Rank magic attacker so it cannot really make use of it without building a team of phys attackers around it.
WAY better balance philosophy and design than Chi-Yu.
That id just one of hundreds of examples how Yo-Kai Watch 3 is a better designed game.
They could have at least made it’s ability reduce physical defence so that it at least doesn’t synigize with itself.
Incorrect because its ability also buffs evs and ivs, it hits like a about 195 base stat pokemon
I know your videos are for people that like Pokémon and all, but so far all of them just made me think the fans must have Stockholm Syndrome to keep buying and playing this
WHAT DO YOU MEAN NERFED
NOW I CANT USE SOMETHING 😭😭😭😭
Isnt the math like 196 or something?
I remember it being desriped as more powerful than mewtwo Y

I feel like how they can rework the the ruin abilities should be like setting a 3 turn field effect of whatever that ruin ability does that also applies to the user, and can only set it once like how the Hero duo abilities are nerfed. The snow leopard and the goldfish might be still broken in a singles context but would be far less obnoxious in a doubles setting.
