What's the matter, trainer? Can't navigate the Pokemon Stadium 2 rental market on your own? You're in luck! Just use steel types! We'll help you identify the winners and stinkers of the rental roster, victory in Round 1 guaranteed!
This is a PSEUDO Tier List (600 BST!!) where we'll be going through topics instead of ranking everything, mostly because 90% of the rentals are either complete garbage or hopelessly outclassed. Instead we'll be trying to create a concise (LOL) guide for those who want to try and play through Pokemon Stadium 2 on their own. Here's the outline of our strategy:
- Stadium 2 Battle Mechanics
- Trap Rentals (Do not use!!)
- Staple Rentals (Always use!!)
- Niche Rentals (Sometimes use!!)
- Perilous Enemies (Nailed the weak spot...)
Ownership is best, of course, but renting can be a great stopgap for trainers trying to find their footing in the world! They'll add support for imported teams someday, right?
Let's! Renting!

Exploders are a double-edge sword, since trading pokemon 1-for-1 is the same thing as asserting that you can win a battle 2 on 2 or 1 on 1 against pokemon that typically have much better stats and moves. They (and Haunter) are fantastic for killing the scariest pokemon that your opponent has, but going willy nilly with the booms can often put someone unprepared into an unwinnable spot, especially in R2. They are fantastic pokemon with game knowledge, and good pokemon if you use them to surgically; also want to add that all of this does not really apply to Graveler, since it is good enough to kill pokemon straight up with Earthquake in addition to being a great exploder.

Been playing Rentals Stadium for ages and have gotten close to beating it dozens of times. (The saves on my 100% legit Nintendo approved portable N64 keep getting lost before I can complete Round 2.) Here's a couple other Pokemon reccomendations that weren't mentioned that have some merit. -Starmie is a Waterfall bot that isnt very good, but it can be useful sometimes thanks to its high speed that other Water-types don't have. It can also check other Waters if you decide to use Zap Canon and go for broke. -Girafarig isn't very strong but they did make the mistake of giving it Baton Pass and Agility. It makes a very good teammate with the likes of Hitmonlee to guarantee going first or with Magneton. -Raichu can be a good situational replacement for Magneton in battles where the fast Thunder Wave is more consistent than Magneton's. (And trust me, it can be.) The ability to tank hits drops off a cliff and dies in Round 2, so Magneton actually isn't as obviously superior to Raichu as it seems in Round 1. -Dragonair is one that I actually cannot believe you did not recommend. This thing is a really solid support Pokemon. It carried great resistances thanks to being a Dragon-type, has Thunder Wave and Headbutt for para-flinching, and if memory serves me right it has Fire Blast which can come in clutch for Yolo damage and Burn procs. It's great and has a lot of all-purpose utility. -Electabuzz is the desperstion choice if you're tired of Thunder missing. Thunderpunch is still OK damage, it's fast, and it can support with Light Screen. Other than those picks, I can't say with good faith there are any other super secret good picks in the horizon. The video doesn't go into Round 2, but trust me. It *is* beatable with Rentals. It isnt something I consider fun, but it is still entirely possible.

@Joker22593 11 ай бұрын

They won't, because the EV system is so different that it's not possible to cleanly translate contemporary Pokemon back to that era. At best, game freak would code it to where our Pokemon had maximum EVs in all stats. Realistically, they'd program the temporary transfers to have no EVs at all. Plus, there's the moveset issue. Tons of moves aren't allowed backwards and some old moves were removed from recent games. At best, gamefreak might give us random moves instead. At worse, we'd have to destroy our Pokemon's movesets to use them. Pokemon with partially random moves and realistically no stat experience is just rentals at that point.

@lucasgreer1736 11 ай бұрын

@@Joker22593 evs and stat experience can be mapped 1:1 due to the fact that they do the same thing just at a different scale (stat experience can't be mapped back as cleanly because there's no stat exp max but you can't gain stat exp in stadium 2) and ivs can be literally just divided by 2 to get dvs also they could literally just ban moves that don't exist in current gens and bdsp I think contains everything that was in gen 2 so there's at least one modern game that could transfer back cleanly

Don't hesitate calling Voltorb good. I just completed the Stadium 2 complete game WR and I safely put Voltorb in my Top 3 rental pokemon in the entire game. AFAIK, Werster says it is his actual top pokemon in the game, as well. You said it yourself, pokemon is a numbers game, and a pokemon that can usually kill 1.5 of your opponent's team (1 with MC, usually cripples another with self-destruct) is nothing to scoff at. A 136 speed Thunder is also surprisingly useful, and its Rain Dance is great anti-cheese against Double Team users. Good video though! I was afraid when I saw Dewgong (I think he is massively overrated) but your synopsis of him is fair, he can serve a variety of roles in R1, even if other water types do something/several things a lot better (Starmie, Seadra, Vaporeon, Slowbro).

@@jesusramirezromo2037 Because Ampharos is a dragon. It's not given the Dragon typing because it's available to catch early in the game and Electric is a good typing on its own, but the concept is a sheep that gradually turns into a dragon that protects the flock of sheep. Its Japanese name is "Denryu", den meaning electricity and ryu meaning dragon.

@@ImportedCheese there is absolutely NO WAY you don't know about pokemon tazos?? they were these collectible plastic discs found as prizes in chip packets in South Africa. it was during the pokemania of the early 2000s and they were literally everywhere. the little tazos would have art of all the different pokemon, including their name and pokedex number. they had holographic ones too that would evolve from base form to second stage by tilting the tazo. in retrospect i should have kept them from childhood, but i was literally the only pokemon nerd for MILES when i was younger, i never knew about sentimental/re-sale value lmao

Add some to help boost under value type that are not Pseudos Legendary or Legendary. Dragons i looking at Flygon or Haxorus. Ghost, Faeries, Dragon, Steel, Rock, Dark, Fighting, and Fire cone to mind. Types go to either all physical or Special. With Dragon going to physical and Faeries to Special and no or just one Set ability like in gen 3.

- Chinchou is amazing. Confuse ray (100 acc 50% proc rate. It is definitely good) surf, thunder, rain dance. Rain dance makes thunder ignore accuracy, meaning thunder hits every time including- double team/lower accuracy spam, while its up. - Paired with zapdos, very strong thunder, rock smash comes in handy to chip out, hes not my favorite electric mon but 100% why hes used is cuz he doesnt get hit by ground moves. So many random pokemon have earthquake -Hitmonlee is gauranteed pick, i used primeape in round 1 cuz of dig n it was fine, but hitmonlee is just better -starmie high speed/ sp attack= great, lame move pool, but zap cannon def has very clutch moments. theres other good water mons, just my pick to attk first. Id prolly pick quagsire or slowbro for their bulk if not. The rest feels more personal choice but im on a madman ramble so heres jus some opinions Jynx does feel worse for sure lol. Still Stab ice punch beats grass ground n flying, and she can usually win agaisnt other psychic pokemon by outchipping with ice punch. Freeze is chefs kiss i dont count on it but when it does happen id raw dog jynx on the spot Houndoom is solid, outspeeds enough pokemon to actually get use of bite flinching 33% proc rate. his spattack is chunky, unlike every other fake ass dark mon or dark move user. Ember is fine, not great but usable Haunter gigachad sp attack w giga drain. Gigasucc a water/ground/rock mon and heals. Destiny bond alone gives him so much value, jus dont sleep on gigasucc

@ImportedCheese I feel you, i didn't prioritize confuse ray lol when building around chinchou but I started using it when I know I'm about to get KO'd and rain dance isn't up for gauranteed thunder hit. I hate missing thunder so ill just confuse ray to gauranteed land something u know it was landing pretty often so I jus learned yesterday it was 50% I'd still prefer thunder wave, but confuse still ends up buying me extra turns n helps safe swaps. Cuz dude round 2 like making swaps can blow, u take the 1 hit on turn u swap then outsped the next turn, and just die before doing anything
