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.

Yes, I suggest making an Evolution of Baton Pass Teams from Gen 2 all the way to Gen 7 Ubers where it got banned from Smogon meta. It really shows the evolution of what used to be a niche idea that became more and more power over the years of the utility power creep. People should know how crazy Eeveepass is in Gen 7 Ubers, before it got slapped with the ban. It is downright terrifying to see a Global +2 Krokodile OHKO Defensive Xerneas.

They nerfed Dark Void's accuracy from 80 to 50, which is worse than Sing's 55. Smeargle is pretty much done for at this point, unless someone discovers something truly amazing. And yeah, why they nerfed Dark Void in general is weird, considering it affects poor Darkrai as well.

@rabbits2345 6 жыл бұрын

As a baton pass user, there are lots of ways to get around Haze, Taunt, etc. 1. Haze and Heart Swap can be blocked with Taunt (Mr. Mime) 2. Phazing moves (and Red Card) are useless (Soundproof Mr. Mime or Ingrain) 3. Encore, Taunt, and Topsy-Turvy can be bounced back (Espeon) 4. Spectral Thief can be blocked by Smeargle 5. Transform is blocked by substitutes 6. Infiltrator doesn't matter when you're +6 in all stats :P How long does this take? About ~50 turns. Even if you get a Haze off, I can just try again. Not to say there aren't counters, but it's not that easy to stop

@daveshn 6 жыл бұрын

rabbits2345 But any number of pokemon can have haze and by the time I switch in, you don't have time to switch in a blocker. Also, magic bounce didn't exist in gen 3 so encore's viable. Also, even if I'm just doing chip damage, if you have to go all those turns time and time again, I'll win the attrition battle.

@rabbits2345 6 жыл бұрын

Really only a small handful of (viable) pokemon can learn Haze, and they're all really slow. Yeah, you can run Dodrio with Haze (lol) but it's usually not too hard to sniff out who has might Haze on a team. I can scout for switches by using Baton Pass. If you switch to a Hazer, I bring in my Taunt mon. If you don't switch, then I'll just keep boosting up. And Magic Bounce didn't exist, but Magic Coat did, which effectively does the same thing. In addition to all that, you can only surprise me with Haze once. After that, I know exactly what you're doing if you switch in your Hazer. And you didn't kill anyone, so I can just try again

Smeargle: The Ultimate Support Pokemon. With it, you are only limited by your imagination, and the bans that it caused if you so choose to abide by those balancing factors. Great at setting hazards, boosting its teammates, putting everything to sleep, getting huge chunks of damage through set damage moves. With all theses options, you think you could get lucky and not run into the 1 set that rips your team a new one, but no, only that one shows up every time. Screw you Smeargle.

It was kind of funny to watch his team fall apart when someone used multi-hit moves or a Lum Berry to KO Smeargle instantly.

Let's be honest, the move counter and a focus band is a really good way to take advantage of Smeargle's pathetic stats and make it incredibly powerful in a pinch. I want to congratulate whoever made that strategy

Ngl, that Killer Nacho video is what got me into watching Pokemon Battles on KZfaq all those years ago and got me onto Haydunn, Shofu, and a bunch of others. Glad to see it referenced here (even though this video itself is also pretty old at this point but I'm slowly binging all of these so forgive me)

Oh man, Smeargle paired with Xerneas. Dark Void em, Geomancy, and then Transform into Xerneas. DeerPaint, as I liked to call it, was anything but truly reliable, but on the occasions you did pull it off, it was so much goddamn fun.

I saw this set somewhere as a Troll Set, but I think it still has merit today. Called Mine, Bill Cosby. Pkmn: Bill Cosby (Smeargle) Ability: Own Tempo Item: Focus Sash Moves: 1) Charm 2) Spore 3) Harden 4) Pound Think we can all understand this and its usefulness.

lol Shedinja haters. Wait until it bites you in the ass in randoms. Plus it tied with Sableye (more Sableye if I'm honest) as the perfect solution with the two legendaries on the Delta Episode. Okay maybe just the last one.

I'm not a hater of this bug, but the facts are that this pokemon was never good, spikes were killing him in gen 3, in gen 4 it was stealth rock (at this point he was already dead), gen 5 didn't change shit, in gen 6 Knock off was the new meta and in every fucking team, the only time when he could shine was in Uber in gen 3 because Kyogre was running havoc (well okay, it's still the case, I'll give you that) and Shedinja was a perfect counter to him. Other than that, and that's coming from a ghost type master, Shedinja was never good.

@phoebe5114 6 жыл бұрын

One of my favorite toys for Smeargle is Gravity. Since it drops Evasion by two stages for all combatants, you can get perfectly accurate moves at or above 60% base accuracy, with even the horrid 50% moves being ~87% accurate. So many options.

It may be a bit much to ask, but I would be really interested in a video about the "King of OU" throughout the generations, or maybe a couple of Pokemon that stood their ground over the years. Tyranitar or Gengar come to mind who have both been at the top in most gens since their launch. Just an idea though^^ Love your vids!
