Illusion has apparently been doing this since even Gen 5.

@slanax 11 ай бұрын

Funnily enough, the AI script that determines what Pokemon a trainer sends out next actually sees through Illusion and bases its decisions off of the real Zorua/Zoroark behind it. So for example, Elite Four Molayne could send in Metagross on a Zoroark disguised as any given Fighting type, because the AI sees that Hammer Arm is its hardest hitting tool against that Dark type over there, and as soon as Metagross is in it immediately forgets all about that and tries to Zen Headbutt it.

My guess to the Necrozma situation is that they never gave it a check for if the move failed or not, so Ultra Necrozma just ends up assuming the at the move "missed" or was blocked by something like protect and tries again to annihilate the fighting type it sees in front of it with a move that otherwise would be super effective

@drkspace 11 ай бұрын

Then couldn't you just lead with any old dark type?

@turnips4375 11 ай бұрын

@drkspace no, because then it won't use a psychic type move against it. The reason it uses photon geyser against Zorua is because Its ability Illusion makes Necrozma think Zorua is Hawlucha.

@Nx042 11 ай бұрын

Ultra Necrozma has an ability that basically boosts Super-effective moves by 25% (Like a built-in Expert Belt), so it's really just it going "ooga booga Psychic beats Fighting" since in my experience almost every pokemon in this game goes for the highest possible damage

@alienraven 11 ай бұрын

The same thing works in Scarlet & Violet BTW i took the Hisuian Zorark (Ghost/Normal type) to the fighting type team star base, disguised it as a dark type and they spent the whole fight trying to hit it with fighting type moves, it was hilarious.

@slanax 11 ай бұрын

From what I've been told, the AI works with Illusion the way that it sees the stats of the real Zorua/Zoroark hidden behind it, but with the typing of its disguise. So it always sees that juicy Psychic weakness on what it assumes to be a Hawlucha that just coincidentally has Zorua stats, clicks its big fuckoff Psychic move, and dies Incidentally, you can use the same trick to let Zoroark set up on Champion Hau's lead A-Raichu.

@Galgamos 11 ай бұрын

The trick in the end reminds me of how one could completely lock gen 1's enemy pkmn into buffing themselves. They would always use a move of at type that is super effective against your pkmn, and they didn't check whether the move would inflict damage or not. So anything with "Amnesia", but no ground or psychic moves would keep spamming the move against poison types.

@timothymclean 11 ай бұрын

They're both AI breakers, but they work differently. You're correct about Gen 1, but in this case it looks like the game was programmed to treat pokemon with Illusion as though they were the pokemon they looked like, and not Zorua or Zoroark. So, Necrozma sees that it's fighting a Fighting-type pokemon, and decides to use its strongest Psychic-type move. It does no damage. Next turn, Necrozma sees that it's fighting a Fighting-type pokemon, and decides to use its strongest Psychic-type move. Repeat until you have a new world record.

@theapexsurvivor9538 7 ай бұрын

"Known for it's lack of differences" - 100 Pokemon added to the regional dex - Almost every boss fight is different - An entirely new segment of the story with new characters and a Super-Boss - Several new Pokemon-Exclusive Z-moves with full animations - The ability to catch every past Legendary in the post-game - A new post-game story arc where you fight every past gen's Evil Team Leaders - The return of a number of characters from past games who were not present in the OG SU/MO - Several fully brand-new Pokemon, excluding mythicals, which no 3rd version has ever added before, as they usually give the 3rd Legendary new forms but nothing brand new apart from that. We got that, plus new forms for both Solgaleo and Lunala, 4 new Ultra Beasts and what is essentially a new Mega in the form of Ultra Necrozma Why do people who never played this game just say it's bad? And by the way, I'd argue Volo dethroned U-Necrozma as the most difficult boss, considering he has 8 Pokemon including 2 Giratina in a game where most enemies will attack several times in a row, plus the rest of his team is Cynthia's team minus Milotic.

A lot of what you listed is only experienced towards the end of the game and beyond. But from the beginning all the way up until the Dragon Totem, the content added/changed barely feels there.

@metalapplesus 11 ай бұрын

Ultra Necrozma is the peak example of the Pokemon Opponent AI script and I love it. If they see the kill and have a supereffective move, they will always try to use it. (Even if that move isn't a damaging move, for some reason) They also, conveniently, don't take abilities into account. So since Necrozma doesn't see the Dark type with illusion, it constantly tries to use a Psychic move on what it thinks is a Fighting type. My first time around, I used a Gastly, and got flattened by Earthquake I learned of the bracketed part of this quirk from an Emerald Kaizo video a bit ago where a Pelipper kept getting hit by Thunder Wave despite being in the red. Since it was an Electric move against something 4x weak to Electric, the opponent saw it as a valid option.

I remember stumbling into a Zorua in the early game on my first playthrough of ultra sun, but I had NO IDEA how good it actually was until I entered the Ultra Necrozma fight and stumbled upon this cheese on complete accident. It had wiped half my team but my Zoarark, as Hariyama, did the same thing that occurred in this video.

You know, they seem to really push how hard the Mimikyu fight is, but that is only if you are reliant on a pokemon weak to it's base 90 power stab, you know? The mere fact that it can even tank one of those hits is rather crazy, even after Baby-Doll Eyes.

Zoroark disguised as a Fighting type is the best way to cheese Ultra Necrozma

Pretty sure that’s how I cheesed the Ultra Necrozma fight too (with illusion, not toxic stall)

Tbh i only played usum once completely and Necrozma wasn't a problem at all. Since i only took it down with one team i don't know how so many people struggled with it. I didn't know what i got into. I don't remember it exactly, but i think i used topsy-turvy first turn and Foul Play next with my Malamar (though it would make sense to use swagger first. I might have done that too). Either ways, i took it down in two turns whilst my brother complained about having had to give up after 30min. My malamar wasn't even overleveld.

1:48 really Wish they continued that way Great Tusk or Dondozo with actual EVs in SV would have been cool

in my casual run of usum, I had zoroark and just spammed nasty plot before 1 tapping ultra necrozma.

Ultra Necrozma: "This thing has the best AI given by the Pokemon Company." Zorua: *Cracks knuckles* "Come again?"

It wasnt a speedrun but I remember u knowingly discovering this. I casually used Ns zoroark in pokemon black 2 with emboar as a starter. I didn't have anything for psychoc so I switched from wmboar to zoro and she kept spamming psychic until the last move where her musharaf ran out of psychic and used energy ball it was so hilarious to watch it happen only to almost wipe to Iris of all people. But nope, not the guy who told u this. I only remembered cause of ur video.
