Zamazenta usurping and basically switching places with Zacian as one of the best restricted Pokémon in VGC will never not be funny

[FrostedPoke]

Addendum for Reshiram:
Recently, a new metagame between Ubers UU and OU was made, known as Ubers RU. It was made so Reshiram could have somewhere to be.

...In Ubers RU, Reshiram is wholly outclassed by Kyurem-White.

My favorite false swipe gaming moment is whenever he starts talking about Arceus and immediately starts speaking like a video game priest

Deoxys N extra bulk really goes for granted, while deoxys N can survive a choice banded lick from gastly 100% of the time (even with a crit) Deoxys A will faint to lick from said gastly 81% of the time truly a huge differnce

Zamazenta in singles vs doubles is literally the buff and sad doge meme and i need someone to draw it with him.

Interestingly, the Solgaleo x Dusk Mane dynamic is completely flipped in VGC. Turns out when Intimidate and Max Move stat drops can be ignored completely, and you can set up Trick Room with a great defensive typing, there’s a lot of value.

If you're wondering how all of these hold up in Ubers UU, here's a rundown

Deoxys is one of the best offensive pokemon in Ubers UU in general, since it's ridiculous stat line make it have virtually no switch Ins outside of Magearna. It's tough to get in the field but considering there's a ton of good pivot users, it's not that tough and it always delivers in offensive teams.

Solgaleo is sadly not that good either. It used to be a lot better but it has very little things over Magearna. It's very passive and can't really make progress into a lot of Arceus forms. It's been falling off considerably and it still has issues into Landorus-I.

Reshiram is definitely niche but underrated in the tier. It serves as a bulky attacker who's offensive typing let's it threaten most of the top defensive walls, with it's only good 'check' being Arceus (who's scared of a burn). It's biggest issues is a lack of reliable recovery of any kind alongside its own accuracy and lack of PP on Blue flare (which means it can often run out of PP due to the amount of pressure mons in the tier). It isn't as outclassed by Kyurem white as you might originally think because Kyurem white Is a Choice specs blizzard spammer in the tier, and it's terrible defensive typing means it's bad as a bulky attacker

Arceus bug is one of the Arceus forms of all time. It has a niche, definitely. As it is good into Landorus-I, but at the same time it's rocks weak and an Arceus form. Not that good, not unusable but definitely one of the worst Arceus forms.

Zamazenta is overall the most 'pretty solid' and 'average' pokemon in the tier overall. You always know what it's going to do, you always know it gets walled by the same pokemon, it doesn't really matter because it is really good at what it does, which is to stop offensive teams and Arceus forms like Dark. Not much to say, just pretty solid.

Honorable mention for Darkrai, who while initially was terrifying, had to pay the price for Smeargle's war crimes in later gens.

Maybe a fun video would be "lower tier mons with niches in ubers"

[peidu]

Lugia literally has not been a good Ubers Pokemon since the Obama administration

[riccardocasu]

"Being bulkier than the least bulky Pokemon in the game should not be mistaken for being able to take hits."

(from "usage tips" of Deoxys-N only S/M set on Smogon, a Kasib berry "Marshadow lure". It was so desperate.)

[viridianknight]

"reshirampardos theorem" was diabolical

[WillieCyphon]

Behemoth bash should’ve been steel type body press

[michaeldelloro]

Ngl. I'd love an episode called "The Nat Dex Effect, " examining Pokemon only good in NatDex but not standard play and Pokemon good in standard play but garbage in NatDex.

[SemiHypercube]

I still wonder how much better (or worse?) Deoxys-Normal would be competitively if it actually had more "balanced" stats like if it had 110 in all other stats, except HP which would have to be 50 like all other forms. At the very least it would make more sense if Deoxys-N was actually more of an all-rounder stat wise instead of basically being a lesser Deoxys-A.

this is random but the way you narrate is extremely gratifying. how much care you put into your script is evident. the diction, the syntax…. it’s almost musical the way syllables line up. you’re great at what you do!

[anjansharma]

I like how he just changes his language the moment he starts talking about Arceus lmao

[orshteinbok]

Dialga-Origin is far and away one of the worst Ubers, if it existed for more generations and was more known out there it would've 100% been on this list.

It's strictly inferior to base Dialga in every way

[mandalorianhunter]

Mewtwo needs new abilities

Reshiram is sadly outclassed by both Koraidon and Gouging Fire that it's sad. Heck it's not even used in UUBERS. That's how sad it's life is

[dradicnova]

Seeing Ho-oh mentioned in this video, it would be interesting to see a kind of inverse of this video. Something like "Ubers Pokemon that have not fallen off". Looking at what makes mainstays in Ubers actually work despite generational powercreep would be nice.
