I would like to add another buff of the Poison type, which is Toxic being made 100% accurate when used by a Poison type starting in gen VI. Also a bit of a sidenote Nidoking and Venusaur don't use Sludge Bomb in Gen II because they do not learn it yet for some reason.

So, something that you got incorrect in the video is about Victreebel and Venusaur's roles in RBY. Victreebel almost never runs swords dance anymore due to its main moves being Wrap, Sleep Powder, and Razor Leaf. If your 4th moveslot is Swords Dance, none of those moves benefit from a +2 attack boost (I guess you can get slightly more damage with Wrap). Overall, Swords Dance is kind of a wasted move on Victreebel. On the other hand, Venusaur can use its superior bulk + Sleep Powder to set up a Swords Dance. Venusaur uses Sleep Powder, Swords Dance, Razor Leaf, and Hyperbeam. Razor Leaf can actually force Snorlax into a rest loop, which gives Venusaur a chance to set up Swords Dance. They actually have very disctinct roles in the current metagame.

Another little thing that was unfortunate about Poison in Gen1 was that Toxic didn't work properly back then. It had the same effect as we know it, but if you switched out, it got down graded to regular Poison. So even the basic value of switching into Toxic barely comes up back then, since Toxic wasn't a good move at the time

Some people have questioned what impact this ruling by the Horse Tribunal will have on Magcargo and its place on the Horse Council. Those people neglect to consider the differentiating factors between the two cases. You see, Smeargle learns High Horsepower through artificial means by using the move Sketch, whereas Magcargo learns the move naturally with the aid of a Technical Machine. Any calls to revoke Magcargo's rights based on this ruling would be premature.

I think that focusing on Magcargo's inclusion in the horse council made us overlook the position of the serpentine trio of Onix, Orthworm and Zygarde in it. Snails, biologically speaking, do have a foot, so Magcargo is 1/4 of its way towards a horse, while these three are completely limbless and therefore don't resemble a horse in any way.
