incineroar just isn’t as relevant now because the power level is lower. Incin thrives against high power teams where a support pokemon that can burn, fake out, parting shot etc bigger threats is more relevant

[Dunhilina]

Oh boy, I can't wait to see my favorite starter Meganium on this list!

[rakurai]

The fact that Venusaur and Blaziken have the same base speed at 80 is insane to me

[DrGandW]

32:45 little misconception here, Choice items do not function while Maxed

[ThrashAnDash]

so primarina’s electric, grass and poison weaknesses are actually huge right now because of archaludon’s electro shot, rillaboom and then sneasler having a super fast op move called dire claw

[Tripledeluxer]

5:14 I used kilowatrell :D (I went 3-5 at regionals...Surely theres no overlap in those two things)

[capsubaru]

Fun fact: kilowattrel has been seeing an uptick in usage in Japan recently

[ToesJr]

I just encountered a full starter, pledge team. I got whooped because I didn’t even know what to expect, the chip damage from the grass and fire combo move, and the overall power. But the rillaboom kept on using grassy glide against my farigiraf, I was using a trick room set with imprison, and it didn’t do anything because the grassy terrain made it priority against iron tail

That abilities explanation by pat about feeling like your pokemon is giving you uts all is a super cool and maybe even intended outcome of otherwise nothing abilities.

i did not know that incineroar sounded like vinny 3:54

[TheMellowFilmmaker]

From what I heard, Hisuian Decedueye has been getting some more usage, so that's at least something. (I hate that my favorite Alolan Starter is the worst in a gameplay sense.)

[SweetBananaDigital]

I am a fellow a grass starter enjoyer, and Bulbasaur is my all-time favorite Pokémon. I agree it’s nice to see a couple of Grass starters make it onto this list.

I love how every time Patterrz gets a prediction wrong, he immediately just changes the topic

[philmen]

1:23 as one of my fav starter, i've heard that it wasn't realy good until people realised that it did the same thing as armarouge but better, letting it be realy good

[Pearakeet_Games]

Blaziken will always be my fave, I still have my very first from OG sapphire. Had to use the ds storage system to bring him to Sun and Moon

[JediMage]

That hit or miss was tiktok before tiktok even existed )

One thing I don't understand is Torkoal's low speed stat being called a weakness.
It can actually be a strength if both players lead with a weather setter.
In those cases, the faster Pokémon will set the weather first, then the weather will change to the condition set by the other Pokémon.
So you want your Pokémon to be slower than the opponent in those cases.
Sometimes this interaction can catch people off guard.
Five years ago, I played against someone who started with Alolan Ninetales, whereas I chose Hippowdon to go first. Hippowdon was slower, so the hail changed to sandstorm. My opponent didn't realize this and tried to use Aurora Veil, which failed because there was no Hail.
Sadly, I still lost that battle (because of unlucky freeze shenanigans.
Some of my battles in S/V also started with me changing the weather from rain to sun before turn 1 thanks to Torkoal's low speed.
So being slow isn't always a weakness.

The second best starter pokemon is grass incineroar. Mf just took the old assault vest set and made it grass. Hilariously, incineroar is almost always ran as Tera grass while grass incineroar is tera fire.

Maybe grass incineroar is inaccurate. But when you consider that it hits like a truck with recoil, thanks wood hammer, fake out, and is mostly there to support with fake out and pivoting, it’s just so much like classic incin. Give that gorilla parting shot and baby we’re in business. It’s not ad useful though considering it doesn’t have intimidate. But grass incineroar is something else

[kayschut]

Imagine being a gmax charizard and getting destroyed by a Cinccino using Rock Blast.
