Also shoutouts to the top comment of the Bastiodon Theorem from @Delta lord. We had this idea once we finished making the Bastiodon Theorem and you smart viewers predicted us!

I just imagine all the legendaries in the uber tier roaring, howling, or shouting, and Quagsire's just there slowly opening his mouth going

"Turns out being the god of Pokemon has no effect on those who are ignorant."
Now THAT is a quote

[beebobber]

In Gen 16 with Ultra Mega Giga Rayquaza in OU, Quagsire will still fluctuate to the tier every other month.

[loveheart]

“Being the god of Pokémon has no effect on those that are ignorant” is a raw ass line to use in the context of quagsire
But look at him. He’s shaped like friend. Of course he’s good

[intellygent-alienking]

The fact that Quagsire of all Pokemon can check Zacian is just incredible

[miqvPL]

You didn't mention how huggable Quagsire is, which is an important part of the theorem

[huyphan]

Zacian: "I am... INEVITABLE."

Quagsire: "And I.... DON'T CARE."

[dim]

Don't forget that there's a Quagsire character in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity. He's shown as being extremely laid back but is also supposedly very strong and had numerous exploration feats and is even feared by certain criminals lol.

My favorite theorem is the Porygon-Z Theorem: Any theoretical change to Porygon-Z or any major change to Pokémon as a whole can and will make Porygon-Z broken. Go ahead, try and buff Porygon-Z in a way that won't send it to Ubers.

[Zthewise]

Seeing quagsire take hits from titans like Arceus and Zacian and be able to swing back will always bring a smile to my face.

[Nullmeo]

Quagsire's lowkey an inspiration, in that it does well despite its low stats. Kinda like how some people excel despite their shortcomings and weaknesses.

[TheHero]

Let’s also not forget that when the terrifying Moody Bibarel was released, Quagsire was pretty much the only thing that could actually stop it reliably by using Encore to punish it and Unaware to ignore its insane stat boosts.

[doubl]

Quagsire walling the most dangerous Pokemons for 3 generations is amazing. Being THE Zacian check is just wow. Put some damn respect on the Sire.

[benjaminsmull]

The fact that Quagsire’s walling capabilities can stifle Kings and Gods alike is truly an inspiration to us all.

[deltalord]

Quagsire showing us all that even the most benign of Pokémon can stare down a god and still have no idea what's going on.

[lucasm]

I propose the Regigigas Theorem, for cases where extraordinary pokemon are stifled by one crippling factor, for example Regigigas, Slowking, Kyurem Black, or gen 9 Blissey/Chansey

[lumineonlover]

I love that goofy Water/Ground types just ignore tiers all of Quagsire, Gastrodon and Seismitoad all have the most random tiering placements

[krinias]

To this day, one of my favourite quotes on this channel comes from the end of the Quagsire video: "So how good was Quagsire actually? Man, I don't f*cking know." So I'm glad this happy blue blob finally gets his own theorem.

[Marblesoda]

Seeing Quagsire on this after finding a shiny one is just the cream of the crop
