I can't believe we forgot H-Avalugg...oh well LMAO

[FarCritical]

Regular Aggron: *cries in two 4x weaknesses*
Mega Aggron: CAN'T OUTSTALL THE WALL

[silverrey]

1:29 seeing Serperior's Leaf Storm dropping its special attack is one of the most cursed things I've seen all day

[doug-goat]

Alternate title: How hisuian avalugg’s typing ruins its defensive utility

[paulmann]

To be fair to Cloyster, that Ice-Type went from being the thing that held it back to one of the things that kept it rolling for as long as it did the moment Gen 5 hit.

[i.c.]

Ice type: Agressive, effective against four types, weak against other four and only resists itself. Meant to be a glass cannon
Most ice type Pokémon: slow and defensive

I don't see any problem here

[westleywoollard]

I listen to both FSG and MB while cleaning and fully didnt realize it wasnt the usual voice

[oktusprime]

Glad that we got the usual narrator. Was afraid it'd be a different one but it's the same beloved narrator we've had for years in almost every episode.

I actually laughed out loud when I saw Moxie had dedicated a whole section of the video to Wo-Chien because of course he would

[MyRealAlias]

A moxie and a false swipe video? More for me

[darkjackl]

Never forget Aurorus
I wanted to use it so badly but it was so bad i couldn't bring myself to keep using it IN A REGULAR POKEMON PLAYTHROUGH

[Shattered_Starstorm]

Hearing MoxieBoosted talking about Smogon OU instead of VGC feels so funny to me

[Tarudizer]

Can I just say, it is the WEIRDEST thing to me that a ROCK and STEEL pokemon is considered "weak defensively". That just does not compute in my brain, it should be the most defensive pokemon in existence

[mavriiick]

I like how you can tell when the writing switches from FSG to Moxie's whenever it switches from singles discussion to doubles. Cool touch that they wrote their respective sections.

[PKMN]

I love that most of the video is just saying "adding Rock to basically anything makes them immediately much worse."

[FirstLastname]

Idk how popular this take is, but guest narrators are awesome and should be used WAY more often than April fools day

[Matpit]

Wouldn’t be a Competitive Pokémon Discussion video with MoxieBoosted without him bringing up Wo-Chien

[TheHero]

A Pokémon I wanna mention is Armaldo. With bug rock typing you have barely any resists and a lot of neutralities. Neutral to fire, ground, fighting, grass, flying, ice, dragon, fairy, electric, psychic, bug, ghost and dark. Weak to steel, water and rock. And the only resist you have is normal.

With no reliable recovery and poor speed is it any wonder why Armaldo (and Crustle) for that matter are low tier garbage nowadays? The one who is decent, Kleavor, is good in spite of its typing.

[Omar_ZX]

That thumbnail is safe to say very fitting

[TheAweDude]

This is actually one of the reasons I like Pokemon's typing system so much. Each type has an offensive and defensive identity that has actual implications for teambuilding. Some other games just have symmetrical or circular type systems. Or, like with SMT, each individual monster has their own, unique, defensive profiles.
