    This video reminds me of another stalwart and altruistic Pokemon who has unfortunately fallen just short of competitive viability: the Water and Rock-type Corsola. She possesses many desirable qualities, such as the abilities Natural Cure and Regenerator, access to useful defensive moves in Stealth Rock, Mirror Coat, and Recover, as well as a winning smile and cheerful personality. I only wish the best for Corsola in her future endeavors. Thank you.

    Due to the fixed bonus of 100 base stat points for Mega Evolutions, for Mega Pidgeot, they probably should've done what they did with Mega Beedrill: take points out of its less important attacking stat and add it to the other. As far as I know, Mega Pidgeot only uses its Attack stat for U-Turn, so it wouldn't have lost anything major by losing base stat points from that. But yeah, having a better movepool would definitely help it, too.

      Being lazy is not quite the same as being asleep all the time, though. Slack Off is just the Pokemon taking it easy. Snorlax is more about outright sleeping.

    The one mon that always comes to mind for "almost good" is Cresselia in Gen 4 OU. On paper it is the bulkiest mon in the entire metagame, but in practice, it has quite a few drawbacks holding it back.
    I think Crobat getting low sweep as a fighting move in Gen 3 would make sense, even if it isn't the best fighting move.
    I think Magic Guard would make more sense than Overcoat for Dusknoir, and it would be a slightly better ability. Maybe it would be too much, though?

    the reason mega pidgeot has such medocre stats is
    1. It decided to be a special attacker when in base form it has a higher attack stat.
    2. And more importantly, megas only give 100 bst above the base version which makes mega pidgeot only have 579 bst and 65 of those 100 stats go to special attack.

    I don't want to be a neighsayer guys, but this is all EXTREMELY convenient.
    Coming off that attack stat of only 85, Magcargo Horse-Primes High Horsepower would only do a maximum of 47.2%
    Even in the most favourable of circumstances, with the new King being Adamant and max EV's and Horsea being -def, that figure would only be a max of around 75%. Magcargo would've needed all that and a crit to one hit KO Horsea. (And to have invested specifically in his attack and not his monstrous special attack)
    Does this really seem all that viable? That literally everything, including hitting the move, went in Magcargo's favour? I don't think we've heard the last of this.

    Dusknoir has such a big mouth that I'm shocked they've never given it Strong Jaw (which didn't exist in Gen IV tbf) to let it use moves like Poison Fang or Crunch/Jaw Lock (in later generations). Having a move that causes toxic without giving up on damage potential sounds really nice, if not necessarily game changing.

    I felt this really hard with Specs Sylveon in ORAS OU, and is something I originally discovered as an anti-meta threat to make mega sableye players regret their lives. It was amazing then, but now it struggles too much I think.
    If Sylveon had just like, one more thing, specs/pixie plate Sylveon would be one of the scariest wall breakers in the tier. Spammable special fairy stab on a nonmega is nonexistent in the tier, and 90% of Pokemon just get deleted by specs hyper voice, and even resists take huge damage.
    If it was a tiny bit faster, it could speed creep some common counters. If it had a tiny bit more hp it could set up 101 hp subs. If it had a slightly better move pool, it could tech something to deal with Chansey (something like trick, taunt). The baton pass ban for pivoting also really hurt it. It's stats and movepool are ultimately just a little too bad.
    I've tried to make this thing work so much, and it often goes 2.5 for 1 vs balance teams and is bulky enough to be a huge nuisance to offense, but it just can't justify a role when the opponent has certain defensive cores that just kill it.

    I feel Zebstrika...
    I love this Pokémon.
    But it needs volt tackle. It also needs Flare Blitz (it already has overheat, flame charge). And get rid of one of its redundant electric immunity abilities and give it Reckless because the PokeDex talks of Zebstrika's poor temper and rage. It even gets thrash as a move to support this. Hell, for giggles give it Outrage too.
    But the ideal set would be:
    Life Orb + Reckless:
    -Volt Tackle
    -Flare Blitz
    -High Horsepower
    -Volt Switch

    Revaroom is waiting for his invite to the horse council since he learns high horsepower, and is quite clearly more horsey than any other horsey on the horsey panel

    Porygon-Z is also really close to being a great pokemon competitively. Just barely too slow, and just barely not enough coverage. Hopefully they give it some love later down the line. It’s one of my favourite pokemon

    Dusknoir's state in Gen 5 is especially cruel.
    Not only it finds itself in RU, which is tiered below its pre-evolved form, but it is completely unviable in RU, so it finds itself in tiering limbo.
    What makes this especially cruel is that Dusclops too is stuck in tiering limbo, as it is completely unviable in UU.

    Dusknoir deserves to languish in a meta he had no business being in. Serves him right for what he did to Grovyle.

    Whats really unfortunate about dusknoir, is that if they updated tiers and dropped it to UU, it would likely be fairly balancedand useable in some situations

    Magcargo was just showing off against horsea. Magcaro-horse-prime has an insane base special attack and horses has a terrible base special defence and still he opted to use a non-stab physical attack to one shot horses.
    One might to so far to say he was horsing around.

    So does the held item "Gaming Cap" only work for Macargo or can other Pokémon that learn high horsepower transform into their horse primal form?

    Wasn't Staraptor stuck in UUBL hell for several generations? Obviously you give a guy Brave Bird + Close Combat and he'll fly to the moon until someone hits him back. Base 120 attack used to mean something, and Intimidate is a solid ability to gain some entry points. Might just be a bad match for OU where Normal + Flying get walled by any Steel type and Close Combat isn't hitting hard enough to break the usual checks.

  • @andreaverone9377

    Squawkabilly: man has literally the best selection of abilities (4 in total, ironically), and yet his *TERRIBLE* movepool doesn't allow him to run any of them effectively.
    Intimidate is fine for support, he also gets Parting Shot, U-Turn & Roost, but he lacks the Base Stats to be a support Pokémon.
    Hustle is just terrible and he literally has ONE move that he can exploit with it: Aerial Ace.
    Guts + Flame Orb sounds good, he has the moves to use it, but there are a lot of other Pokémon that can do it much better.
    Lastly, Sheer Force + Life Orb sounds broken, but when you realize the only move he can boost is "Pounce"... oh well.
    Really, this Pokémon is a walking (flying) tragedy.

    As a big PMD fan, is has always pained me how bad Dusknoir is, and how Dusclops objectively outclasses it in later gens.
    If I could give the guy any buff, I would really like to see it with Iron Fist. It thematically fits with the big bulky arms, and would buff options like Drain Punch for recovery. I'd also buff Shadow Punch to base 75 to compliment this change.

    Video Idea: Newer Pokémon That Might Fit Well Into Older Generations
    Some examples:
    -Despite being Gen 3 additions, Latias and Latios share many of Gen 2’s identifying features, like held items, genders, and the split Special stat. They were even in a Gen 2 movie!
    -Haxorus is notable for being a Pokémon developed far earlier than its debut game was even announced, and some of this design can be seen in how it feels like it would right at home in Gen 4 without being too overpowered. It may hit really hard, but it doesn’t contribute as much bulk and Speed as other top-tier Dragons of the time.
    -This is an Ability change rather than that of a Pokémon’s debut generation, but how would Alakazam perform without Magic Guard from Gen 5 onwards? Similarly, how much better would it be in Gens 3 and 4 with this Ability?
