Gyarados! The powerful Sea "Dragon" Pokemon and evolve form of Magikarp! How good was Gyarados in Competitive Battling? Find out with this video by False Swipe Gaming!
Gen 1 Battling Explained: • Gen 1 Pokemon Battling...
DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth. Now Popular does not mean official even though two of the formats I will be covering were official formats being Japan Nintendo Cup and VGC, but it is an indicator of what a good portion of competitive players thought was “optimal” at the time.
To the people asking why I don't cover Smogon Singles for Gens 1 and 2: It wouldn't really be a history video if I covered those because online Smogon gen 1 meta to my knowledge wasn't actually played until late 2000s. I wanted to cover tournaments/competitive battling that was actually played during the early years of Pokemon (late 90s).
To the people asking why I cover Smogon at all for singles: To my knowledge, Smogon was the most popular format for Gens 3-5 and held a number of tournaments throughout the years. As for Gen 6, I am not covering Battle Spot Singles because there is more information and explanations about sets being used relative to their own meta on Smogon. In other words, there are few written analyses about Battle Spot Pokemon besides the Top tiers and I would like to avoid theorycrafting because it may have a hint of bias (though I theorycraft if I REALLY couldn't find information on a certain Pokemon). The keyword here is explanations. Though I did find statistics of most Pokemon used and most moves used, there wasn't really any explanations on why. Also the few Pokemon I did find analysis of for Top Tier Battle Spot Singles had very similar move sets to the Smogon OU sets anyway.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent and I will not fault you for using evasion or whatever, I just like examining popular tournament formats.

I took the time and effort to level up that Mt. Moon Magikarp way back in the day! Remains my favorite moment in Pokemon, especially given the trouble I went through to do it. Since I was a dumb kid, I bought a load of Potions to heal it without restoring PP and run it out of Splash, then have it Struggle its way up. Eventually I found out it didn't have to land the KO to land the EXP, so leveled it that way until Tackle. Then I went right back to being a dumb kid because more EXP per fight seemed faster than more fights with less EXP. I felt so vindicated when that little weakling evolved into one of the Pokemon to carry me through the league and Elite Four, and to this day it's the reason I justify myself for not giving up on people for being dim witted or weak. Who knows? Maybe I just happened across a human Magikarp, and with enough patience a Gyarados will arise?

I always liked the Magikarp-Gyarados thing. That, even if you start out weak, if you put in the hard work and patience you can be rewarded with something great. The only thing that I didn't like about Gyarados is there is still no water-dragon version. I mean, I know what they made Gyarados water-flying in the first game to nurf it a bit (water-dragon would have had no weaknesses in gen 1, basically making Gyarados on par with legendaries) but things have changed a lot since then.

@canine0077 5 жыл бұрын

@rufusconnolly8489 4 жыл бұрын

Gyarados is my all-time favorite Pokemon to use competitively, second being Gengar. I have as many Gyarados sets as I have competitive teams, because his stats, movepool and abilities make him so versatile (especially when Megas were still a thing). I even have a bulky Gyarados with just enough speed EVs to outspeed Jolteon specifically (which I used mainly during gen V), yet still survive some serious whomping from the typical offensive threats of the time outside of Garchomp. Let me tell you, my shiny Scizor was scared, yet proud, to be on the same team as that Gyarados :3

Now in Sw&Sh, Gyarados is crazy thanks to dynamax. Set up a dragon dance. Dynamax. Get bounce so you can use the flying dynamax move, which raises speed. And use moxie, to raise more attack. For every kill, you essentially set up a dragon dance. Optimal set includes Leftovers, moxie, waterfall, bounce, dragon dance, and a final choice of something like substitute or earthquake for coverage.

It's shame that, in the grand scheme of things, Gen 1 Gyarados was still outclassed. However, you can't help but appreciate the fact that compared to all those other options and even Blastoise, Gyarados was probably a much better option, nay, the BEST option when just playing through the story mode, since Starmie and Lapras were late game, and Gengar is a trade Pokemon, so that wasn't an option for a lot of people (re: me). The fact that you can get him even before beating Misty means you'd probably be using him over Starmie or Lapras, since you still needed to grind them to replace Gyarados.

For instance, you don't see a lot of Grass types in competitive.

You could still use Hyper Beam in Gen. 2, even with the special split. Prior to Gen. 4, all Normal Type moves were physical.

@user-ts3rv2kc1y Жыл бұрын

He cant use it because they removed the mechanic of not recharging if you knocked out the opponent which made hyper beam the equivalent of giving the foe a free turn.

Scyther! Here is why: Scyther has really gone through a lot of changes, from being cursed with poor typing and moves in Gen 1, to slowly gaining better capabilities each generation. He has been used as a sweeper and as a baton-pass support. His evolution, Scizor, I consider more of an alternate form because they have the same base stat total, just Scyther's speed is shifted into Scizor's defense. I'd like to see an analysis of the two pokemon as they compare to eachother. Also useful or not, Scyther is the undisputed coolest ninja/bug pokemon.

The problem with Chansey is that between Gens 2-4, Blissey was used over it due to there being no Eviolite, so if there would happen to be a Chansey vid, I can imagine it'd be a lot shorter than normal.

I leave him in the daycare in cerulean, and train it up to one level, so it can evolve.

@BoneBeastKimimaro 5 жыл бұрын

Reposting my comment from another person who said the same thing: I think moreso than being "Dragonic", Gyarados has a bigger identity as an enraged berserker. Most of its pokedex entries talk about how angry Gyarados always is, and Lake of Rage was MADE by a bunch of Gyarados' throwing a massive tantrum. Since Dark type is associated with evil, violence, cruelty, etc, it made it a more fitting type for it. (Also note that the dark type is called "あくAku" evil type in Japan.)
