When people say that Magicarp is the weakest pokemon in the world, I'll have proof that he managed to beat a Mega Heracross

"if you aren't a box art legend you might as well retire" garchomp chilling at 26

The fact that mega ray got 4th is by far the best showcase of power creep ever.

"If you aren't a box art legend, might as well retire" Slaking: allow me to introduce myself

Zapdos beating megaray through the most insane RNG luck is the most zapdos thing to ever happen

The fact that number 2 and 3 are Koraidon and Miraidon is insane! The power creep is real!

Shoutout to Reshiram at 4 for just being just a normal dude amidst all these monsters

E-Max Eternatus is so strong that it beats literal god by a long shot, yet my punk-rock salamander and my friend's sheep beat him easy.

When I bought pearl at 6 years old, it wasn’t because it was pink. I simply knew palkia was in the top ten Pokémon twice.

I for one accept our new ground-immune Diancie overlord.

"I tweaked some of the movesets to be viable in 1v1s" "Also I left Curse on Spectrier for some reason" Believe it or not, Spectrier is Legal in Smogon 1v1s, so you actually could've gone to the 1v1 metagame thread and found this exact set from a sample team: Spectrier @ Life Orb Ability: Grim Neigh Tera Type: Ghost EVs: 4 HP / 140 Def / 164 SpA / 200 Spe Timid Nature - Hyper Beam - Hex - Will-O-Wisp - Calm Mind This is how you make a Spectrier for 1v1s lol

Imagine being Spectrier’s enemy though. You’re scared out of your mind because it’s a legendary, but then he just decides to end the battle and you win.

It’s too bad Flebebe couldn’t make it. Would have gotten first place for sure. I smell sabotage.

To put into perspective how strong E-max eternatus is, Pure Hackmons is stuck at Gen 7 for the simple reason of it existing. If you EV and nature it right, you can make it so that it can only take 1 damage from a certain kind of move, because its stats were so high it MADE THE DEFENSE CALCULATIONS OVERFLOW.

Miraidon obviously got that powerful because he is from the future and thus has even more powercreep than the others

How did "competitive move sets" include curse Spectrier... Has to be a meme

Garchomp at 26 proving he is still HIM

The existential panic in your face when you realized you gave a *mythical* an ability it does not have that eliminates one of its weaknesses.....then immediate cut to the next topic. Just incredible

Greninja would have won starters if he wasn't nerfed, if he got 12 with no ability, he can absolutely win

Would love to see a sequel, with the mistakes cleaned up or even just more data scrapped out to show off more oddities. Hearing about the biggest upset by rank. Win loss percentages of Pokémon. Any surprises regarding type match ups. Strongest Pokémon of each Generation. Infighting within groups of Pokémon for the strongest bird or dog or regi. Evolution line upsets.

Eternatus eternamax was so busted that if you gave him 252+ on either special defence or defence he would take only 1 damage from moves that hit him because pokemon damage would rollover and bug out from the calculation

Man really just said "Oricum" over Orichalchum when naming Koraidon's ability and thought no one would notice. There were so many hilarious moments in this video and you did an amazing job as always, Frank!

Seeing Bounsweet just slowly pan downward after Spectrier killed me, stuffed my cold dead body in a bag, and yeeted me into the Mariana Trench 💀

The “back to you frank” *pause* “thanks frank” got me rollin 😂

"Some pokemon just idnt do well in the 1v1 format, like whimsicott" Also whimsicott and cottonee: *banned from 1v1*

"amazing movepool" and spectrier were not words i'd thought i'd hear in the same sentence lmao

Honestly, I'm just happy my boi Rampardos made top 5 anything, even if it's just the fossil category.

Slaking being the goat without trying.

I can't believe you got Frank, Frank, and Frank to join you in making this video. I love the guest stars. Keep it up.

Is there a full 1-1089 list anywhere? My entirely functional brain really wants to gawp at it 😂

Fun fact: Since Eternamax Eternatus is allowed and physical attackers are more popular, if it had 240+ Def it would win against every single Physical attacker, since it would only take 1% damage due to defense overflow.

This lil Sunkern defeating a Groudon 1v1 and lil Scatterbug defeating a Kyogre 1v1 should be our daily reminder that anything is possible.

Frank struggling to say evoilite is probably my favorite part

Frank's videos are an example of "quality over quantity." Because every single one is an absolute banger.

Everybody knows that Mega Lopunny is Nr.1 and I am not saying that because its my SUPER favorite Pokemon OF ALL TIME!

5:15 love the transition from "greninja didn't have protean" to "libero is amazing, the best ability obviously cinderace was 1st"

I can't think of a better way to spend my 1:21am EST on May 12th 2024, thank you Frank

The goat returns 🐐

Sad to see Shedinja only at #677 with a lower win-to-lose ration. I expected it to be much higher considering its ability and many Pokémon simply not having anything to hit it with.

I always had a chill on my back when I say that “Zapdos is the strongest bird in its trio” because of electric causing paralysis, now I have proof

Spoiler Shield 🛡️

I'm so sad it ended that early. What was the final mon's win rate? What did it lose too if it did at all? Will Frank ever figure out how to say eviolite?

"megas are included beacuse they are fun and cool and rad, the rest are not" pretty much sums up the gimmicks of the newer pokemon games in general lol

A Gen 3 pokemon being the strongest non-legendary is insane, the power creep just doesn't affect Slaking I guess.

Hi patterz.

Before watching the video, I'm going to predict that Shedinja does really well just because of how many Pokemon can't hit it at all.

My favorite saying is: "Everything is possible, to some extent!" I mean, the level 1 pokemon that can beat a level 100 pokemon is very possible, the most known one is Rattata with the focus sash, endeavor and quick attack strat!

The last Pokémon standing: "So what do I win for surviving almost two million battles?" AV: "A notable mention."

The fact that with enough luck, even weak Pokemon can beat some of the strongest Pokemon is kinda cool... Like, it did probably take a miracle and only worked because there were so many battles.... but still....

Seeing victini get ranked so high feeds my soul just right

"Back to you Frank" literally turns to his right "Thanks Frank"😂😂

In regards to Miraidon you said "Why did they think this was fair???" and to that I just turn and point at the cutscene where it refuses to die and becomes unbelievably broken in the final cutscene because plot armor. You can't even intentionally fail, iirc.

I am shocked that Meloetta did so well. Shocked in a good way, though - it's my favourite Pokémon!

Jezus christ raboot being so incredibly high 13:11

Onix scrolled by considerably higher than mega absol. Alpharad somewhere just sneezed.

“There may be tampering with the results” Yeah if a decent mega and a powerful legendary Pokémon are in the bottom, I would consider redoing the entire thing

Where did Shedinja rank? (Same question for Henry)

Lore wise, the strongest is Arceus, and in the game it is stated that the Arceus we can capture and use in battle is only one of Arceus’s 1000 arms, so Arceus’s true power is literally what we see multiplied by 1000

If Primal pokemon are usually counted as "mega-adjacent", shouldn't Eternamax be considered "Dynamax-adjacent"? I mean, shouldn't it have been disqualified?

1:56 why is this so funny

5:35 in 1v1 whimsacott actually got banned in Gen 6, because of prankster sub leechseed

I never experienced more joy than when you said “Palkia is better”. Palkia is my favorite Pokémon and was my first legendary.

Highly anticipating the redo episode 2 years later without the mistakes and a few optimizations for sets and AI

The fact that you had spectrier bottom five kind of kills this whole simulation

I swear I spent a solid half of the ad section trying to figure out if it was an actual ad or a very elaborate skit preparing for a crazy punchline🤣

I thought it was in order of 1.) GUN and 2.) Cease and Desist letter

Ok, the first couple errors were funny, but c'mon... Why didn't you just re-run the simulation after realizing how many things messed up for this one? Missing Pokemon, moves that didn't work, abilities that didn't work, etc. I mean it doesn't make the data ENTIRELY pointless, but even if this took days to simulate, I'd still do it again just for accuracy purposes.

Why the fuck do people hate Quilladin so much? He’s a little round boy. He’s got chestnut night armor. He’s happy to be here

Finally people have to agree Palkia is the best gen 4 legend. Not the best ever but it’s my favourite ever.

Might just be the most interesting Pokémon video ever made. Props to you Frank!

Physical attack is worse because there are a lot of moves and abilities that lower phys attack. intimidate is the best example.

SPOILERS AHEAD: 252 SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Tera Dragon Miraidon Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Eternatus-Eternamax: 516-608 (79.2 - 93.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO Yeah theres genuinely no comparison between number 1 and number 2. E-Max is that absurd.

I genuinely love how you give some of the highest quality Pokemon content there is

FUTHER PROOF THAT GLACEON IS THE BEST EEVEELOUTION!

I was honestly expecting Shedinja to manage a really high placement just because a lot of Pokémon would not have a move to hit it on their set

Frank at 1:14 am what is he doing but you love to see it

Can we please talk about how Rampardos got the 222nd place, i can't imagine anyone expected this dude to place higher than 500, way to go, you showed all them doubters!

this editing is just beautiful like i don’t even understand how it just makes me feel so comforted

Franky we ain’t forget about the Olive Garden breadsticks we need it

"Back to you, Frank", "Thanks Frank" 😂😂😂😂

“I already know the answer, I’m just pretending” one of my favorite lines from this

Quaxwell outperforming Quaquaval is some insane mood

Flabebe showing up may have raised Gurphy's standing

Pokémon is the epitome of meta gaming

Btw for further context on eternamax eternatus winning: it's because you literally can't hit him... with just the right EV's and a +defense nature will make his stats overflow causing them to be 0 meaning the highest damage he can possibly take is 1

Dude! You have to stop being so dang entertaining! I’m awkwardly smiling at my screen whenever you hit a quip 😂

I look forward to seeing this list when you fix all the broken variables and I didn't even guess the Eternamax form of Eternatus because I forgot that fight existed, for some reason I was expecting something out in the left field like a Latios as the top even though that's clearly not gunna happen XD

This is one of the best videos I've seen in a while, just information that will be helpful to no one. Amazing :)

I just assumed it was eternamax eternatus from the beginning because I remember seeing it’s the only Pokémon with a base stat total over 1000 lol

So I think for the fairness of this, could probably remove moves the AI doesn't know how to use, fix the oopsies, and include three additional things: Allow unique Z moves, but only for pokémon that are at their best with said moves (like Eevee with its omniboost) Only include obtainable pokémon (only locks out the Eternatus boss I guess) And third, don't just look at modern Smogon, as the mons in modern games are restricted in the move choices they can take. Assuming the program doesn't have to use the game engine to do it, include discontinued moves such as Return on pokémon that can benefit from using earlier sets (to basically present each mob at their absolute peak of power, not at the current meta.)

Ultra Necrozma only surprised me because i completely forgot the totem boost mechanic in gen 7... But really, UN was only scary because it was a powerful legendary, born with an omniboost, good ability and decent coverage in the form it has when the player has to fight it, meaning it could OHKO most of your pokemon if you didn't have an answer for it in a blind playthrough. The competetive version is nerfed a lot by not getting the totem boost, and most pokemon have an answer to powerful dragons and psychic types today...

“Back to you frank” is awesome…😂

I'm so proud of you Flutter Mane

Honestly bro, your videos are soooo high quality. I'm legit excited every time I see you upload. Keep up the great work!

Did I miss it or Zacian and Shedinja were not shown on the video? What were their rankings?

Absolute respect for Staraptor at 42 🫡 early route bird outranking mewtwo

Seeing Mimikyu hit 104 genuinely made my heart happy My boy made it to the top 10% of pokemon

8:46 definitely it’s Brock’s happiny

I should be sleeping or working on a vid, but this is way more important.
