Same with pursuit, really.

I swear a huge reason Calyrex-Shadow got banned was the fact that there was no Yveltal around to deal with it. Otherwise there'd be significantly more counterplay against it. The other huge reason was of course Terastalisation.

clearly that wouldn't be enough if even turning tera normal isnt enough

@@SplitPushLoL the thing about calyrex-shadow is it's too good of an offensive pokemon. if it tries to 1v1 yveltal, it needs to pack either draining kiss or tera fairy tera blast (or some tera electric/rock/ice variant). but this means that its other matchups are much worse. in order to maximise its value, you have to run sets that don't match up that well against yveltal. meanwhile, yveltal's basic defensive sets that function as a tanky control mon (toxic sets, roost sets, oblivion wing sets, etc.,) function extremely well against non-tera calyrex-shadow and against tera variants, tera steel/poison/normal makes it a skill matchup.

It gets OHKOd if basculegion runs band and teras. You lose to foul play in that setup but if you run any other item on legion and tera dark you win the matchup with last respects. There is no counter with tera in the game.

@@dengar96 he said that Band wasn’t that good on basculegion and only works as a surprise factor tho, it’s not something you’ll commonly face

i swear i also thought it had swift swim but it doesn't

Swift swim is trash because koraidon is on 2/3 teams overall and 8/10 high ladder.

For anyone replying Swift Swim is trash I commented that before watching the vid and finding out it had Agility to use instead. So even more broken than I thought it'd be lol.

In this video you see Basculegion in trick room with a sub up as the last pokemon or in similar positions. With this much setup even base Ursaluna could sweep in ubers. It is completely predicable too: You see it team preview, so you can keep a relevant sucker punch user or choice scarf pokemon ready. I don't understand why "broken" is used so inflationary.

@@richardhauer8391 ...the video literally explained why Sucker Punch and Choice Scarf aren't consistent. With an Agility, the only scarfers that outspeed are Koraidon and Miraidon, you can't expect every team to scarf one of them right? Sucker Punch can be played around using sub, so that doesn't work consistently either.

i will never play competitive pokemon but the analysis scratches my autism

I have never played Ubers before nor used basculegion, but if he gets banned finchinator WILL be receiving death threats on twitter.

​@@strangeshotgunHe doesn't even run ubers but will receive death threats anyway lol

I love how everyone is pretending this is dominating the tier. It's viable, but definitely is not broken in ubers.

@@grinderaj841 post elo (respectfully)

You are mean

Why did you had to go to Los Angeles to catch a Basculegion?

@@douglanmar Legends Arceus

5,050 is a NUTTY Base Power lol. Saw in another comment the move keeps track up to 100 KOs for some reason.

​@@PokeMasrerJ Maybe for Revival Blessing shenanigans ? But at this point it's just stalling the game for no reason

@@PokeMasrerJ Yeah, 5050 is 100 KOs plus the base 50 and it still gets boosted by adaptability/tera ghost/etc. It’s a really stupid move lol.

The move would be much more balanced if it still started at 50 but gained 20 bp everytime 5 faints means it becomes a 130 bp move, wich still makes strong enough to feel worth sacrificing your teammates for(it makes it a ghost type last resort basically, since you'relikely to scarf yourself in it to maximize damage at this point), but also it is not too op and can be easly tanked by just a resist, making it not that big of a crutch anymore.

I think gaining 30 bp would be for the best

They won't ban the pokemon. They will just ban the move Last Respects in the same way Shed Tail is banned in OU

Basculegion is NU without last respects. Its a decent poke but not at all OP, it gets no other good physical ghost stab.

​@@dengar96 It gets good ghost stab in special moves (hex and shadow ball), wich is why the female actually ranks higher in the formats where last respects is banned.

​​@@ebilgamingI doubt it. Is houndstone broken in ubers?

​@@daniellejackson6543 No, but bans work differently in Ubers. Since Last Respects is the element that's banned to Ubers, not Basculegion, then only Last Respects can be considered for a ban.

“Complex bans are bad bro just get rid of the Pokémon”

Nah, their logic behind it was sound. Even though they knew that Basculegion would get it, you have to consider that a) Game Freak has changed stuff between the datamine and the actual release in the past, so just because it had the move in the datamine doesn't mean it'd still have it when it actually released (see gen 5 Chandelure for example), plus, even if it stays the same, you can only test stuff once it's actually in the game and available. They knew all the time that Last Respects was broken. But you cannot also explicitly prove that while only one Pokemon available is capable of using the move.

@@segafreak2000you’re making too much sense, we mindlessly bash council here sir

​@@TheKyubiisaannot on this channel

Basculegion wasn't available at launch so Houndstone was the only user

The more time goes the more steel types loosing their resistance to ghost seems like a mistake.

The rise of ghosts has been very interesting. It was a great type hiding behind a lack of good mons and moves.

Psychic should be resistant to ghost instead of weak due to exorcism! Who is with me?

​@@Mirawaru Honestly at this point, with how overpowered Pokemon in the newest games can be, I wouldn't even mind if Psychic went back to being immune to Ghost like they were in gen 1.

​@@MishKozI'd kind of prefer if they just buffed normal so it was more viable. It being immune to ghost would nerf it by proxy.

I mean if the gen 6 legendaries where in gen 9 they would’ve probably be banned since Tera dark and fairy

@@daofficerofthenoodles7504 looking at natdex ubers yveltal is nowhere close to banworthy xerneas runs tera electric/fighting and is on the edge of being banworthy zygarde runs tera water/fairy and can be hard to remove tera blast might push xerneas over the edge, it makes tera ground/ghost more viable

@@galaxystudios370 I mean national dex different competitive then gen 9

Youre forgetting that this happened to Dunsparce before this. Dunsparce was a straight up bad mon pre Gen 9, Basculin just mediocre

The amount of setup is having your mons faint lol

It always was, I will never understand why they're so reluctant to just ban this obviously extremely broken move that was clearly not design with 6v6 singles in mind.

​@@dzigayu4944True but Hounstone is mid without it so what is the big deal?

@@dzigayu4944I mean when houndstone was banned it was the only accessible pokemon with the move, but yeah I still think they should have just banned it to ubers rather than the pup itself and have been done with it.

@@dzigayu4944 It's a question of banning logic. You can technically always say any pokemon is not banworthy if yout ake away its good moves. If you ban all moves from Rayquaza except Tackle it will probably be ok in OU, but no one will say doing that is a good idea. Now you say "well obviously you can't just ban moves like Flamethrower and Shadow Ball which half the mons in the game get, Last Respect is different". And the logic is to ask then why do you say it is different? We knew it was not going to stay exclusive to Houndstone so multiple pokemon can get it, making it just a generic move. If a bunch of pokemon use it and are not broken but there's one abuser, you ban the abuser not the move. So they waited to see if the move was broken or not to ban it over Houndstone. "Ho but it was always obvious it was OP on any mon, so we should have done it before" are we predicting the future now? Tons of stuff got called OP before being tested and found out to be fine. Ppl were clamoring for Ursaluna to be released already in Ubers FFS. It might have been obvious that the move was overtuned but rules exist for a reason and following them consistently is what makes the tierin have any sor of logic.

Simply play vgc format. Then surely everything will be balanced haha (I wish)

Well, they did that. Basculegion is NU, because Last Respects is banned in every tier except UBERs

I saw it too lol

There balanced around formats that don't bring Six pokemon. Last respects isn't broken in Battle Stadium Singles or VGC where it caps out at 150 or 200. Supreme overloard isn't very nearly as good as defiant in VGC either.

Supreme Overlord is every bit as multiplicative as Last respect The problem isnt this math shit your thinking about. Its just the numbers is high. Respect gets 200% boost with 1 death and 50% with 2 death 33% with 3 and 25% with 4 with 1 death already putting it at earthquake level

@@screwtokaiba I meant that the power of a move heavily dictates the total damage output after stats, stat boosts, and abilities. I simply wish that moves that scale up in power like this don't become the main meta, because having various potentially 200-300 power moves could be a problem. My point with Supreme Overlord is that it doesn't define the meta, because it isn't nearly as threatening as having a sweeper ability in combination with Last Respects, even if the numbers are about the same.

Scaling attack power also can't be stopped by Unaware, removing one of the defensive counterplays.

@@10Gpixels i agree with stats(if you add 100 bst to an offensive mon stats its about as good as Adaptability on a good 130 base offense and thats 1/6 of your bst budget even on Mythicals) but ability not so much since ultimately the way they affect the game is done exactly the same way. They both amplifies stats in the mechanically similar but separate bracket

With aqua jet and tera, yes it does.

1. The only good normal type is Arceus which competes with Arceus Ground and Arceus Fairy which are both integral to stopping Koraidon and Miraidon (who guess what, you lose to automatically if you cant answer) 2.

​@@KR-wl5ydnot true the turtle is also a great normal type with an ability that gives a free substitute so it can do whatever it wants to Basculegion even if it does wave crash or runs tera fighting and Basculegion is water type with miraidon around and has to set up the agility or sub or both Chien pao sucker punch exists Great Neck electric version sucker punch exists (forget what it what it called, thunder clap?) Ursaluna is a great normal type too, especially in trick room which counters ability sets or just no agility being used at all Other miraidon and koraidon counter raidons Foucs sash and iron defense is usable just cuz people dont use it dont mean it dont have viability And tera normal stamina Archuladon with like body press and electro shot would be a great counter on teams with kyogre and Miraidon
