14:57 fun fact, since it is technically considered an attack you can still use it to heal your allies even when you are taunted, something that no other move on this list can do.
@@bingewatcher4678 if I was including in game effects then Soft Boiled would be top of those moves. I think Milk Drink also had an in game effect but can’t remember?
@@MattBudYTpre-gen VII both milk drink and soft-boiled can be selected outside of battle to transfer 20% of the user’s HP to another party member. Even though your focus was on in-battle, I feel like that can act as a tiebreaker
I once played against a team with revival blessing, they used it to revive their Moltres. The only problem with that is that the Moltres had its boots knocked off...
The only reason jungle healing has more pp than lunar blessing is because zarude isn't in gen 9, so it's signature move's pp didn't get its pp nerfed like most other healing moves
Strength Sap does have a flaw. It increases the attack of Pokemon with Defiant or Contrary, and boosts the special attack of Pokemon with Competitive by two stages. It also makes you lose MASSIVE HP if you use it on a Liquid Ooze Pokemon like Swalot or Tentacruel. At the same time, Pokemon who can't get their attack stat lowered (because of clear amulet, hyper cutter, clear body, etc) means you will ALWAYS heal based on its current attack stat. The fact the move doesn't fail under these circumstances is crazy.
You should mention that pollen puff also gives you an option to heal allies without fear of taunt, a nice advantage compared to heal pulse and floral healing
tbh i think roost leaving metal birds open to being quaked and punched is enough to make it worse than recover. most common roost mons would probably take recover if they could
Kinda surprised you didn't talk more about PP, because that's another big reason weather heals took a big L historically, and is a big win for Wish. Not that I'd change too much about rankings, but I consider it a big factor. Not that Stall is thriving these days, but if Leech Seed got this much love, idk
Never realized moonlight also got buffed in sun. Never tested it but my brother and I always thought moonlight got buffed in rain instead. The more you know
Don't forget ingrain also can be boosted with the big root which is another reason its better then aqua ring Edit: just learned big root also buffs aqua ring so that's cool
lol. I built a heal pulse clawitzer to stop all those belly drum spammers from throwing my raids in early gen 9. They kept drumming turn 1 no matter what, using up a sitrus (if they even had that), and immediately dying anyway.
R.I.P. Partner Eevee's Sappy Seed since it technically isn't like draining moves (i.e. Giga Drain + Leech Life) since it applies the Leech Seed effect after doing damage instead of the damage directly being used to heal the user 😔
I hate all healing moves because to me they seem kinda random for which pokemon receives it Like there’s no reason why some pokemon should have recover
Ah but this doesn't consider the fact that Soft-boiled had a niche non-competitive use in being a field move from gen 1 all the way until gen 8 that you could use in the overworld 🤔 that should clearly change the ranking and make it #1 /j
Pollen puff too low on list. It is the best on doubles, even considering it is a bug type attack. But I would say it is meant to be a bug-type because it is broken, as u-turn
Big fan of Wish, and Im an even bigger fan of Wish/Ally Switch. Anyway, I just wanted to remind you all that in S/V only the Chimecho and Firigiraf lines have this capability anymore. 🦒🎐 I have run those moves on my giraffe since day 1 and it has never let me down.❤

I was thinking "there's something missing".
That was it! Every attacking draining move is skipped.
but that also means it gets redirected by follow me/rage powder 😢
Celesteela with Leech Seed, Ingrain and Leftovers my beloved
And the sp.def beast boost for unkillable substitutes
Don’t forget giga drain for chip and extra hp
Could also have grassy terrain for more healing and resistance to earthquake
@@Andreecalswait, doesn't it fly?
@@ophiuchus_kin ingrain makes it “grounded”
I like Slack off and Soft-Boiled..Soft-Boiled can heal your party as well during playthrough
@@bingewatcher4678 if I was including in game effects then Soft Boiled would be top of those moves. I think Milk Drink also had an in game effect but can’t remember?
Milk drink in game in gen 4 would do a pain split esc effect out side of battle

Referring to Pyukumuku as "the puke-ster" is something I will be forever stealing thank you

NO MOLTRES! PUT ON YOUR TIMBS MOLTRES!!!
"Oh, hello!"
"And goodbye!"
New Mattbud video.. *starts car*
You're a real one for that 😅 I can relate
cracks open beer
Techicly, heal order is better than other healing moves since it has the most pp
when (or if) it gets added to gen 9, game freak is most likely reducing its pp
"the pukester" 😭
@@InvaltidWord 🤢🤮
Babe wake up MattBud dropped another ranking video
The only reason jungle healing has more pp than lunar blessing is because zarude isn't in gen 9, so it's signature move's pp didn't get its pp nerfed like most other healing moves
Yet
@@AndreecalsI thought Zarude was in Gen 9. I've gotten it in Ranbats before
@@spartacusthememelord6890 it is, it's just that nobody really has one
@@Your_LocalWizard ah, I see. Makes sense
Zarude is in gen 9 and got banned from RU lmao
Milk drink should be #1 due to the psd it gives anyone who fought that miltank. No but genuinely great video
Ingrain pretty good in gen 3 on cradily even if you don't baton pass cheese. Also nice sponsor also already played the demo before the video.
Great video!

I appreciate the amount of content lately, cheers :)
But make sure you don't burn yourself out. Give yourself time if you need it.
i think it would be cool to rate all moves of each category like slicing, sound, contact and punching, stuff like that
When it comes to Strength Sap most of the mons that get it are specially defensive anyway. Quiver Bellossom anyone?
Aqua ring, ingrain, leftovers, grassy terrain, Leeth seed, sub. Hacked Pokémon nightmares
tbh i think roost leaving metal birds open to being quaked and punched is enough to make it worse than recover. most common roost mons would probably take recover if they could

Strength sap is sooo annoying….love countering it with sap sipper! 😅
Broken move. Hate playing against it and feel like a 🤡 using it.
yeah, I was extremely shocked to learn it was a gen 7 addition. Seems like a broken gen 9 move.
Revival Blessing/Lunar Dance combo go!
The casualness with which he says "Milk Drink Miltank" confirms for me he never played GSC😅😂
Never realized moonlight also got buffed in sun. Never tested it but my brother and I always thought moonlight got buffed in rain instead. The more you know
I would like to note that while almost every healing move took a PP hit, wish didn't. It still has 16 uses compared to others' 8.
LOVE HEALS > ANY POKÉMON MOVE ♥️
Don't forget ingrain also can be boosted with the big root which is another reason its better then aqua ring

Recover used to be 32 pp which was absolutely nuts in adv.
I now want to make a special variant of strength sap called mental drain, and it would be psychic type.
pukester and restmon
BD/SP's elite 4 Drifblim be like: BOO! Hope you have something that bypasses accuracy.
15:04 why in the helllll, the horses have pollen puf!?
R.I.P. Partner Eevee's Sappy Seed since it technically isn't like draining moves (i.e. Giga Drain + Leech Life) since it applies the Leech Seed effect after doing damage instead of the damage directly being used to heal the user 😔
Those let’s go moves aren’t “canon” to me😂 I will never include them on a serious list.
@@MattBudYT Fair enough, I just like being cheeky in replies sometimes 😅
I have a personal grudge against Slack Off. Snorlax should get it. The fact that Snorlax can't use Slack Off hurts me.
My favorite healing move is explosion
Neat video idea
Dream Eater:
SI-NES-TI-YA? Are you serious?????
2:44 HAHAHAH
Ok how did I never know roost had that secondary effect
Is pain split a healing move or a draining move?
@@SpliffingBrit not effected by liquid ooze so not a draining move
5:24 what is Senestia?
I hate all healing moves because to me they seem kinda random for which pokemon receives it
Like there’s no reason why some pokemon should have recover
Also I bave the same feeling about status moves
WHY DOES FERROTHORN HAVE THUNDER WAVE

Pain split is so much worse than heal pulse in my opinion
Ingrain definitely #1 😂😂
Ingrain the 🐐
Istg strength sap somehow always heals to full 😭
clefairy and what? what’s senestia.
Did he forget Wish?
@@kanaxaufxanax490 I guess you’ll never know unless you rewatch the video
Not even about healing wish's powers
Pollen puff too low on list. It is the best on doubles, even considering it is a bug type attack.
But I would say it is meant to be a bug-type because it is broken, as u-turn
Shore up?
I hate that move
@@KxngKam14 bro got stalled by Palossand
Too many memes its annoying
Big fan of Wish, and Im an even bigger fan of Wish/Ally Switch.
Anyway, I just wanted to remind you all that in S/V only the Chimecho and Firigiraf lines have this capability anymore. 🦒🎐
I have run those moves on my giraffe since day 1 and it has never let me down.❤
