Fixing Gen 4's Worst Pokemon

When trying to find the moment where Pokemon really began to change into what it is now, they’d all probably say Generation 4. It introduced things such as the physical special split, much better movepools, and the first 3D graphics in the main series games. But despite all of these improvements, some of the new Pokemon still suffer the same problems that older ones did, making them difficult to use in a Gen 4 playthrough. Let’s take a look at Gen 4’s most forgotten and underwhelming Pokemon…

I feel like making Kricketune's BST go to 440 would be even more thematically fitting, since tuners are typically set to A = 440 Hertz as a frequency.

It’s funny how you called Carnivine the seviper of Sinnoh since in the anime Jessie had a seviper and James had a Carnivine (which is where I always remember Carnivine from)

I'd personally give Kricketune a lean towards SpAtk and more sound based moves, and give it a unique ability called "Conductor", which gives it an immunity to sound moves like soundproof, but it also strengthens itself's and an ally's sound moves in Doubles. The sound immunity would let it pull some nasty shenanigans like immunity to perish song or buffing an ally's Boomburst while remaining unharmed by it. Give it helping hand too for even more damage boosting!

Two notes on luxray: first, no guard is more of a detriment than a buff. Sure, the elemental fangs are 95% accurate, but that pales in comparison to the focus blasts, blizzards, fire blasts, and hypnoses that you’re giving free rein to destroy your beloved feline. Second, I really do feel like a phenomenal moveset addition for luxray would be flame charge. Luxray isn’t slow persay, but it’s slow for an electric type and the fire coverage could be useful for the wormadams and steel types of sinnoh

You're editing makes it feel like you are about to talk about how three people were killed in a car crash in 1998

With Carnivine, I remember that several people thought that it would get access to Snap Trap the next time it made an appearance because the move would fit Carnivine better than G.Stunfisk, who only gets STAB when Grassy Terrain is in effect.

I personally think they should let Lumineon carry a sledgehammer to make it more threatening

[nerdyfalco]

3:31 nah man, if luxray got no guard I would just teach it thunder 💀

[beefboi]

"Using Kricketune as a trump card" is something I NEVER thought I would hear.

[kanibelazy]

Funny I never forgot Lumineon, probably because I really love its cry

[TaLeng]

Custom ability for Luxray: X-Ray Vision

Boosts accuracy and ignores opponent's evasion stat. Ignores screens and protection when using Electric attacks.

[TitanKaiju]

I've also always really liked Lumineon since it was introduced, but it's *LONG* overdue for some serious buffs. I've thought about it gaining Fairy as well, and have always imagined it as geting a serious Sp. Attack buff (I'd personally make it 96) to sort of make it a faster, (when under Swift Swim) Special-oriented counterpart to Azumarill.

I was once part of a small Pokémon group on a chat app.

The bubble effect was SO real. Everyone there ran Luxray and assumed it was good.

Winning battles in that group was easy and boring since they all ran identical crap…

[myatbhonehtike]

your videos are so uncanny like
it feels kinda..creepy? the music, the backgrounds and heck even your voice give me chills

[isuckatgaming]

Lumineon is my favorite water type due to its design as well as its cry
It also has roost in legends arceus so it was fun to use

[jzstfu]

the 3 elemental fangs are egg moves for Luxray

[marcelomelo]

I think carnivine should get an signature ability called "swapped roles" in which instead of being resisted and taking supereffective damage by bugs and flying it resists and does supereffective damage against bugs and flying types, it just makes sense to a plant that preys upon bugs (and even rats on some ocassions) to swap roles with them, also i think that carnivine being this big could easly prey upon smaller birds and bats

[MajicMarco]

No guard is completely pointless on luxray considering its best moves are no less than 90 percent accurate. Intimidate is totally fine.

[mazharsiddiqi]

Good improvements
For Lumineon line it's pre evo is called Beutifly of the sea moves like Silver Wind and Moon Light would really suit it (Moon Light over Morning Sun because it's dex entry always refer to night and stars)

[thefirespecialist]

For Carnivine: Instead of Arena Trap, it should have a unique ability... Bug Trap! Basically like Magnet Pull, but for Bug types. Preventing them from switching out, INCLUDING with U-turn!
