LAPRAS! The Transportation Pokemon! Is Lapras only good for transporting you across the ocean or could it hold its own in battle as well? Find out in this video with 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. Also sometimes the Pokemon Battle Historia doesn't provide enough information to talk about certain Pokemon so I add Smogon analysis to make sense of it. This is pretty rare though.
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.

Ice type is fine. This is like saying Grass also needs a buff. Ice type POKEMON suck outside the more recent ones. Weavile, Mamoswine, Kyurem B and W, Alolatales. Thats it. Every other is just... ugh

@Lauren_C 5 жыл бұрын

@@moseswong1231 The only Pokemon that can really reliably set up Aurora Veil is Alolan Vulpix (due to Snow Warning), and even with the defensive buffs, will probably not survive a super effective (hint: Fighting and Steel are extremely common attacking types) attack after Stealth Rock damage, with the Aurora Veil itself being easily stalled out soon after. That said, defensive typing alone doesn't necessarily render Pokemon useless if the Pokemon's other attributes make up for it. Volcarona is a very prime example, as despite having very many weaknesses as well losing 50% HP to Stealth Rock, it's offensive prowess is quite terifying owing to a combination of great movepool, offensive typing, and stats in the right places. There are few Ice type Pokemon that are sufficiently threatening or bulky that the defensive drawbacks of having an Ice typing are mitigated, and Auroral Veil does not change that. Even the offensive presence of the Ice type has dwindled somewhat due to Fairy types being a thing for dragon slaying duties. Mamoswine is probably the standout one among Ice Types due to it's strong offense alongside priority Ice Shard and enough bulk (and Thick Fat ability) to mitigate the type disadvantages. Shell Smash Cloyster can be quite the terrifying offensive threat as well. Neither of these Pokemon require Aurora Veil to be effective.

@kazoorion7993 5 жыл бұрын

Grass types ACTUALLY needs a buffs as well though.

@Lauren_C 5 жыл бұрын

@chaos0205 Provably the only thing I woyld change is make Ice resist Fairy, and make it auper-effective against Fairy. This would serve to make Ice type a slightly more viable partner for dragons, and balance out the absurdly good Fairy type a bit. And it makes sense. Soft and cuddly probably doesn't much care for cold and barren. Ice has been predominantly an offensive typing, so keeping to that aspect, perhaps Hail can directly boost either Attack or Special Attack of Ice type Pokemon.

Nice one, again! Becoming more interested as these videos keep coming out. It's taught me a lot of Pokemon I viewed as not very threatening, or VERY threatening...were quite the opposite. I hope Lapras in particular goes back up in usage sometime soon, despite the ice-typing giving no resistances weighing it down. Still one of my favorite water-types! As for what's next, I'm voting for a Nidoking/Nidoqueen video! I know Nidoking is utilized in speedruns and regular playthroughs of the Kanto games, so I'm interested to see how it, and the queen did competitively!

It's a shame Lapras isn't so good anymore; I really like the design, typing and movepool. It can do really well in a team if you play through a game casually. But for competitive it just misses out unfortunately; you explained it perfectly in the video. Maybe in the future we can see an improvement for Lapras in the form of a mega evolution or regional variant. I'm still gonna ask for the Togepi line. They started out so weak. But then you got Togekiss. I'm curious how well Togekiss holds up today ;)

Adrian Grinstead maybe he would do a special episode with all the eeveelutions 😀

Cyndaquil Incoming i think that video might take too long to make. Making individual videos for each eevee evolutions would be better

Jolteon could take care of Mewtwo in gen 1... but not easily. That's better than most other Pokémon though.

Werewolf211 Jolteon couldn't touch Mewtwo. literally nothing could, except Slowbro after an Amnesia or two, and even then... Jolteon has Pin Missile but is much more fragile than Mewtwo, has no STAB on PM, and no way to heal. Mewtwo stomps Jolteon.

Now that you're running out of Gen 1 Pokemon, I think you should hop over to Gen 2. It's still very early 2000s so it definitely would still be a history lesson and you could cover some of the most beloved pokemon of all time like Tyranitar, Amphoras, and the legendary dogs.

You should do a video about Bellsprout. Fun fact: It was known to run laps around Lapras.

There is not much to say before Gen. 6. In 1-5 it´s outclassed by many others and is not really usefull at anything.
