yo you were actually spitting about Normalize, I never thought about utilizing that ability in those ways

Just because Tinted Lens isn't often given to strong pokemon absolutely does not mean it is bad competitively. Having all your moves hit at least neutrally is fantastic for any offensive mon. Lokix has a BST of 450, and is tiered UU because of this ability. Just wait until it is given to a pokemon with the stats of a paradox pokemon or a Psuedo-Legend, you won't hear the end of it.

Splash actually won a tournament. In sword and shield, there was a Magikarp Cup where all teams needed a Magikarp. Splash was the only status move that Karp got so it was the only move that turned into Max Guard when dynamaxed. Wolfey has a video on this

Toedscruel's ability is just worse Mold Breaker tho

I feel like Larry as Elite Four member is just skipped 😅

how can normalize blizzard sweep glacia if she has froslass?

😅 good video

I mean, if we don’t count Primal Groudon I may agree with you

Tinted Lens: one of the -worst- abilities of all time

NO WAY YOU PUT MOMMY OLIVIA IN THE THUMBNAIL SHE IS MY WIFE

You should also have made it so if they got Dark, Fairy, or Steel then you would also see what type they would have without those 3 (like the gen 1 only types)

You know what, my main man MACHAMP shoulda had a Mega-Evolution, fight me 👊💪😎🤬

So the worst of the worst in each Elite Four/Champion placement are: Hala in slot one. Koga in slot two. Flint in slot three. Lance in slot four. Geeta in Champion slot. Did i get that right my Emporer?

The Cooltrainer/Ace Trainer Class has always been an all-time favorite for me 😎💪

It happens me in diamond, my roserade use giga drain on a Tentacruel and loose HP :c

why decide to do the open Elite 4's in clockwise direction? where is your data saying that most people run them clockwise? why not run a few polls on youtube asking your subscribers which E4 member they fight first and use those to determine where each member fits in?

Electric grass type? Draw a Christmas tree, then stick a goofy face on it and call it a Pokemon! (This is a joke, but I can kind of see game freak doing this)

I selected some of these same types while playing a game of what type would a Pokémon be if it couldn’t be the types that it is. A very hard game.

Can Ball Fetch save a Masterball if, say your 2-year-old cousin was playing your game and wanted to catch the other trainer's cool Pokemon with it?

Insomnia will cause the Pokémon to wake up right after being put to sleep by Mycelium Might

I actually thought that lickilicki was the pre evolution of lickitounge when I started playing…

Pickup is amazing, particularly if you're doing a nuzlocke.

Normalize was used by Wolfe glick to great affect by locking his opponents into attacking his ghost type Pokémon with a skill swapped normalize

Tinted lens is awesome in vgc if you can get it off of the weak Pokémon onto something bonkers like a waterspout from kyoger

I think Sydney from hoenn is awful. Idk if I’ve ever lost a pokemon to him even as a little kid playing sapphire

Definitely better than a lot of the abilities here, but I’d like to shout out synchronise in generation six and seven. Before mints were introduced, disability was the best way to help choose the nature of a Pokémon you encounter. Just lead a Pokémon with synchronise and any wild Pokémon encountered have a 50% chance of inheriting the ability barer’s nature.

I remember getting knocked out by Liquid Ooze thinking "grass is normal effective against water/poison" and used Giga Drain on a Tentacruel. 😂

In LC, I love to run Pickpocket Tinkatink with an Eviolite. Knock off is so common in the tier and it’s so useful to get rid of all the other eviolites while gaining a free turn essentially.

Harvest with Natural Gift is just fun to play with!

I hate to bust your bubble, but some of those Abilities are not as good as you have made them out to be. 1. While technically Mycelium Might can facilitate putting a Pokémon with Insomnia or Vital Spirit to sleep, poisoning a Pokémon with Immunity, etc., it will not stay asleep, poisoned, what-have-you because Abilities that are specifically immune to status conditions will cure Pokémon of them if they appear regardless. (That is probably why Corrosion cannot bypass Immunity, only the Poison- or Steel-type immunity to poison.) 2. Technically a Pokémon with Tinted Lens can have its moves resisted because it only raises quarter damage to half. I do not know why you would use a quarter-damage move, but I inveigh against all not very effective moves anyway. There are always better alternatives to Tinted Lens. 3. I will assume that your Skitty knew Foresight because its Normalized Blizzard could not hit Glacia's two Froslass otherwise. That is admittedly much better than the usual cited pros of Normalize, like the paralyzing Ground-type Pokémon with Thunder Wave. Do you know what else can paralyze a Ground type? Stun Spore and Glare. (Really any non-Electric-type move capable of paralysis can paralyze a Ground type, but those are the only other such status moves.) Yes, Stun Spore has failed against Grass, Overcoat, and Safety Goggles since Generation VI, but Ground has only been paired with Grass thrice and Overcoat and Safety Goggles are niche, not to mention that Wormadam (Sandy Cloak) is the only Ground-type Pokémon that can have Overcoat. Glare, meanwhile, has no inhibitors, apart from Ghost in Generations II and III, before Normalize existed. Furthermore, Normalize's power boost only applies in Generation VII and onward, so in Generations IV-VI, your Skitty or Delcatty is screwed. Cute Charm and even Wonder Skin are better for those two. On the other hand, you will be glad to hear that Pickup has picked up opponents' used items since Generation V. You may also like to know that Aftermath's Japanese name translates to "Induced Explosion," which is why Damp negates it.

I really REALLY appreciate how you jump into the content within 20 seconds of the video!! Thank you for that!

Flame Body is actually good in both but for different reasons. You can burn on contact, or hatch eggs more quickly.

Pickup!

Personally, if Geeta didn't wait till the DLC to do this, it would have been much better. Like, if she pulled out an improvement in the Academy Star Tournament, doing the swap around, it would have been better both as a lore reason for her quote "I am unable to hold back." Reason I say this, the only other Champion Ranked Trainer you meet is Nemona, who is looking for a rival. And Geeta would have wanted Nemona to have someone who was able to face off against her as an equal. But, until you came around, nobody else could have beaten her team, so when you showed up, she likely was likely at the point where she had tried to hold back just to have Nemona have someone on sort of equal footing. Than, once you save the region in the base game, she could have been like "Ok, he is definitely ready for a full out battle." And just put Glimora out first and save Kingambit for last. Wouldn't have even to do the Flying Terra Type even back than. Just switching up the order would have been a massive improvement.

I don't know if is still so in recent gens competitive metagames, but in earlier gens copetitive "Explosion" is actually a moves that many aggressive teams carries, and even some other ones carried that to trade a 1vs1 loss of a mon if this trade is their own weakened/low life mons vs a threat of the opponent teams that otherwise they could not handled easilly. So Damp as an ability is not wothless

When I played X and Y for tyhe first time, i got a Sylveon as soon as I possibly could, and of course ended up having the ability Cute Charm. Seldom used in competitive, but considering I had no status moves back then, I loved the opportunity to occasionally paralyze an attacker, especially since my Sylveon was very overleveled and could easily tank attacks. Made the game more exciting. Not to mention, there's nothing funnier than watching a real player seethe over losing to me because my pokemon are cute. Oh, bonus: I used to have Skill Swap on my Sylveon. Since he was a special attacker, I would sometimes steal my opponents' more useful abilities and then get rid of them with Moonblasts. It was fun.

5:58 Oh yeah? Then explain why ANYTHING can happen in a cartoon

What’s wrong with the BB league?

Tinkaton? More like, stinks a ton. Jk

Pickup

I love normalize delcatty!

nah pokemon should do the elite four like how they did the elite 4 in the indigo disk strength wise cause they were actually challenging with pokemon i used having maxed out ivs and evs and i was 20 levels above them still struggling somewhat. It actually felt like a challenge compared to the sword and shield elite 4 where I just swept through with ease.

Personally I’d swap Dransna and Winkstrom just to keep all the Dragon Types in top Rank

Sinnoh's elites are weak because they have to listen to Approaching Cynthia on loop. That'll wear down your psyche all right.

Cute Charm is extremely situational in battle, but it's useful for finding the right gender of wild Pokémon for breeding purposes.

I'm so glad to see some delcatty/skitty love ❤️ I used her in one of my sapphire runs as a child and loved her! (Also that sapphire run was the craziest thing ever, it took me 5 hours to find skitty AND I found a shiny Tallow AND contracted pokerus naturally while trying to find her)

In my opinion, Normalize's biggest sin was keeping Skitty and Delcatty from being retconned as Fairy types in Gen 6. Yeah, I know Normalize wouldn't make sense as an Ability on a Pokémon that is no longer a Normal type, but making them Fairy types was rather obvious, and it's really strange that they didn't get that retcon. Couldn't you have made them Normal/Fairy like you did with the Igglybuff line?

9:51 Which ROMHack is this?

Wow? I think that's the first time I've heard someone refer to pinsir as "strong" or "late game"

Tbf to the “losers from the indigo disk”, they probably have some of the better E4 teams in recent games. They have competitive abilities, use items like focus sashes, have high leveled Pokemon and use good move pools. Some even using actual strategies. Eg Amarys having a slow team due to being steel type so has Reuniclus who knows trick room or having am empoleon who counters her fire weakness, something Crispin also does by having a grass type to counter his fire types ground or rock weakness.
