Honestly what was game freak thinking Empoleon should have competitive instead of defiant why wait until Paldea to change.
Whimsicott can learn tailwind without having wings or being flying type, but it is theme around wind
I have loved Lanturn for so long, since I had my first one playing crystal, hope it comes soom to champions😍
Here are some of my thoughts regarding the featured Pokémon:
1) Torterra is currently my favorite Sinnoh starter. I'm glad that it got Shell Smash in recent games. I agree with not giving it Grassy Surge. One of my ideas was Solid Rock so that it takes less damage from super-effective moves. However, it reduces damage by 25%, while Thick Fat reduces damage by 50%, so Thick Fat would be more advantageous than Solid Rock against Fire and especially Ice attacks.
2) Vikavolt is indeed disappointingly slow. I would decrease its base Attack by 50 points, and move those points into its base Speed, changing it from base 43 to base 93. I agree with giving Vikavolt access to Quiver Dance and Electro Shot.
3) Besides giving it a Mega Evolution, I would change Flygon's ability into either one that combines Levitate and Sand Rush, or one that combines Levitate and Sand Stream. That way, Flygon would retain its immunity to Ground attacks, while having an ability relevant to Sandstorm. I would give it access to Quiver Dance, buff its base Attack by 5 points(from base 100 to base 105, making Flygon finally have a higher base Attack than Trapinch), and buff its base Special Attack by 20 points(from base 80 to base 100). At the very least, the hypothetical Mega Flygon could have either of the ability ideas that I suggested for Flygon.
i see torterra, i click on the video. i love torterra
6:36 i would lean towards this stat distribution:
HP: 95
ATK: 129
DEF: 105
SpA: 55
SpD: 95
Spe: 51
BST: 530
justification: bring torterra's BST more in sync with that of Empoleon and Infernape; 525-534-530 distribution does not make sense to me even if they are standardised BSTs for starter pokemon
"You ever try to smack a fly? Ypu probably missed!" Actually, I can grab them barehanded right out of the air. Just have to tense up my muscles first and it basically spring loads them.
"it's a world turtle"
Not to be confused with Wartortle
Minior‘s form is based on your opponent
Me: endure surf weakness policy acrobatics
Can we just take a moment to recognize that your channel name is one measly letter away from sounding like an incredibly low budget adult film production. Lol
i dont know if drizzle works on a deep sea angler fish that rarely reaches shallow water
For Flygon, I think there are two ways you could buff it while keeping it distinct from Garchomp.
a.) Give it Sand Stream, Sand Rush, or Sand Force. Nearly all of its Dex entries mention sandstorms, so it's bizarre that it can't make use of that weather.
b.) Give it the Bug type of ability that powers up Bug moves. This is probably the worse option, but Flygon does get U-turn, so maybe there's something there.
For minior I think it should get a revamped version of Eiscue's ability just with either sandstorm or magnet rise. For Flygon the arena trap ability should be tied to sandstorm and should affect flying types!
For Torterra, to avoid the Thick Fat comparison to Mega Venasaur, how about it getting Filter? As trees filter the quality of the air and Torterra has a tree on its back… It kind of just works
39:25 In New Pokemon Snap, Flygon are also spotted nesting/sleeping in sand pitfalls. So it's heavily implied they retain their ability to construct pitfall traps from when they were Trapinch.
Arena Trap may be a bit of a stretch for Vibrava, but definitely not for Flygon.
Thick fat could actually save Torterra
Ok before watching the video predicting castform somewhere in here
You know the funny thing about Torterra. Max soeed investment actually outspeed Dragpult when my turtle boi uses shell smash. Lmao.
Legends ZA showed us that speed isn't how fast a pokemon moves but how fast it's able to fire off moves. Vikavolts speed is low because railguns are slow to charge up
31:19 says that when Glimmora exists, though it is also a Poison type, it’s Rock type, is a special attacker, and now Michael’s complaining
