Mikey: Gets sponsored Grunty boi: *Hold my beer.*

THE EVIOLITE IS WHY WE CANT HAVE SHUCKLE EVO

It’s like they’re teasing us by making the discount 68% instead of 69.

I actually used an Eviolite Tangela in my play through of Pokémon Sword. I forgot what nature it was, but having it use Giga Drain, Sludge Bomb, Growth and Amnesia, and she did a very good job!

Grunty boi being legitimately sorry for stealing from his parents house was very wholesome

“I want to ruin your life, not hers!” Top Notch Quote

22:18 Out of those 3, I'd say Dusclops is the only one that flat out replaces it's evolution. Blissey has the benefit of getting leftovers and being overall less vunerable to item loss, so while not as good in the current metagame she's certainely fine, and a slight shift in the meta or a slight stat buff to Blissey would put her back on top. Porygon-Z and Porygon-2 fill two completely different roles

Also Fun Fact Excluding Pokemon that were fully evolved at their time of introduction, Doublade has the highest base stat (defense in it's case) of all pre-evolutions at 150. If you count ones that were once fully evolved, then Chansey (HP) beats it out by 100 points

Vigoroth was banned because it has good HP, gets good recovery to stay around forever in slack off, stat boosting moves like bulk up, counter, decent stab attacks, only one weakness and good coverage

Misread title as “Strongest Unemployed Pokèmon” and said “wait, the other ones have jobs?” far too loudly

My intuition for Sligoo having a slightly higher BST is that it also has the stipulation of only evolving if it’s raining. Game Freak may have considered that some new players using Sligoo might go a while without knowing this piece of info, making it evolve later than intended. As such, they’d make it a tiny bit better to compensate.

That thumbnail is pure unfiltered perfection.

Me: sees "includes paid promotion" Also me: GRUNTY BOI!!!!

Miachel : **gets sponsored** Grunty boi : it's showtime

The only unevolved Pokémon I use in competitive is Galarian Corsola, it's an insanely good set up Pokémon, it gets access to strength sap, which is a great healing move because it drains the opponents attack. It also has will-o-wisp and stealth rock, so it can get really annoying to face. It has high defenses so having a evolite can make it last long enough to set up stealth rocks and a will-o-wisp, then it can steal the attack of the opposing Pokémon before switching to an attacker. Galarian Corsola is really good, and it's fun to use, I really like Galarian Corsola

i almost forgot the topic of this video when it got to the sponsership part, thats how damn entertaining it was

“It’s 68% off” Me: We were on the verge of greatness. We were this close.

Eviolite:exists Knock off:I'm gonna end this item's whole career

4:07 Grunty Boi i wanna see them

I this is one of my favorite Pokémon items. The Eviolite allows me to keep my Pokémon in forms I like while still being useful. Case in point, not a terribly high amount of Pokémon look better when they evolve, very few actually get cooler or cuter, they typically get uglier or just not as appealing. Personally, with exceptions, I find Pokémon that have 3 forms (1-base, 2-1st evolution, 3-2nd evolution) look their best after their first evolution, their 2nd form. The Eviolite is a nice touch for making Pokémon you rather keep in more appealing forms still useful.

Michael: *gets sponsored Grunty Boi: *Whomst has awakened the ancient one?*

Mikey, your pronunciation of “Eviolite” is better than John’s

Grunty Boy might actually be my favourite character on all of KZfaq ❤😂

Grunty boi is the only reason i watch the sponsored segment Keep it up, Grunty boi!

“Its 68% off” Me: “So close. So damn close.”

I like how these sponsorships are so creative

Porygon2 and Porygon-Z are a very special scenario, what allows Porygon-Z to not be completely outclassed by Porygon2 is that it fills a VERY different role than Porygon2, being more of a glass cannon special attacker that hits really hard and in gen 7 had different options (Z-Conversion, Scarf, Specs, Life Orb). Basically if you want a reasonably fast and hard-hitting special attacker you go with Porygon-Z, if you want a tanky mon who can stay alive with good recovery and a bunch of support moves you go with Porygon2, they do different things. Depending on your team comp one could be better than the other. Shame that no other cross-generation evolutions worked out this way.

16:53 RYDON DEEZ NUTS

"It is I 'Grunty Boy" Ahh Yes..... *He is back*

Mikey: *Receives a sponsorship* Grunty Boi: This looks like a job for me to steal

Mandjtv: You can get it for 68% off Me: *RESTORE BALANCE*

Mikey:let's div- Grunty boy: imma end this man's whole career.

“Well yeah.... I wanna ruin your life not hers. She’s lovely.” -best quotes GRUNTY boi 2020

Galarian Corsola: “Am i a joke to you?”

“I could have sworn that your address was (420) parental drive” I want to live there.

Usually when there is sponsors I would skip them bc they boring but this one was frikin hilarious

The only man who can make sponsors interesting, he’s literally the only guy whose sponsors I watch.

"68% off" Just, one, more, percent

I've probably binged half your videos since finding your channel recently. Love the content. Thanks for the inspiration

Grunty boi having tea with Mike's mom was the most hilarious thing I have seen all morning.

This is basically me doing a nuzlocke without anyone to trade with

10:32 It's not Dooblade, it's DA BLADE!

This is the first time I rewind to watch a sponsor. It's so lit

Michael: number 12- Ad: THE GOOGLE NEST HUB AUDIO

imagine shuckle having an evolution and using a eviolite with its current defense stat.

This makes me very sad... I use Eviolite Type Null in a lot of my single and doubles teams. It hurts that it's so ignored. T-T Kimmie does work.

Gohan Was holding the eviolite during The cell games.

Personally, even though it’s base stat total is 410, galarian corsola is an amazing Pokémon to use which is not fully evolved as with an eviolite it is so bulky and can stall out opponents really well, that’s just from my experience using one though

*Pettition for Michael's mom to come on a meme review and show his baby pictures*

These are the only sponsorships I enjoy watching

re-watching this just makes me think how powerful eviolite ursaring will be once ursaluna gets released in scarlet/violet

GRUNTY BOI!!! HE IS WHOLESOME AND NICE TO MICHAEL'S MOTHER!!!

Mikey: Greetings boogie fans! (Auto generated captions) Me: yes we love to boogie.

6:15 aah so THIS is the progenitor of Flutter Mane…the MONster….

duskclops is a personal fav of mine cause it has a monstrous 130 base stat in both physical and special defense so it doesn’t even need eveolite to be bulky so you could give it a chesto berry, lum berry or left overs.

Me: sees “included payed promotion”. Also me: this is going to be exciting.

Porygon is so strong he can give children seizures through the tv

So with the introductions of Annihilape and Kinggambit, I guess we can add Primeape(base stat total: 455) and Bisharp(base stat total: 490), which means both Gligar and Mistrovis have been knocked off the list. The only question is how do both of them fair with an Eviolite? Now I know very little about the competitive side of Pokemon so take what I say with a lot of grains of salt. Primeape joins Golbat and Dusclops in tied for 11th place now. While Primeape is defently not better than Dusclops so Duclops retains 9th place, I wonder how well it fairs compared to Golbat. In terms of defensive stats and HP, Golbat has better stats in that category so it can take more advantage of the Eviolite, as Primeape's HP and Defense is 60 and it's Special Defense is 70, but Primeape has one less weakness, however, one of its weaknesses is to the best type Fairy, although Primeape has good physical attack and speed(105 and 95), both higher then Golbat and it gets access to a lot of TM moves which gives it coverage for its weakness and the plus side most of those coverage moves are physical attacks for it's best stat, so with the Eviolite helping it out a little it could survive for a bit and get off some decent damage on Pokemon it's weak too, but Golbat might still be better. Regardless though Annihilape is still better because it's stronger and while it now has 4 weaknesses instead of 3, it also has 2 immunities. As for Bisharp, it's tied with Electabuzz in 6th place, but I think it's better than Electabuzz, so it would take 5th place. While it has more weaknesses than Electabuzz, including a 4x Fighting weakness, it's got more defense build, while its HP is the same as Electabuzz and it's got 10 less in Special Defense, its regular Defense is much better at 100. Thus, with the Eviolite it can be better defensively built even with the 4x weakness, which at least in the current competition with Terrastalization you can make it pure Steel which turns its 4x weakness just into a 2x one, plus Steel type is one of the best types and one of only two that can deal with the best type the Fairy Type. It also gets access to some decent physical moves to cover its weakness, as well as some decent status moves like Sandstorm and Stealth Rocks. As well as Rest to help it recover HP, plus Sleep Talk if you want to go for a more offensive approach because of its good physical attack stat. It might be better than it's evolved from Kingambit, again I know very little of the competitive side of things, but thanks to the Eviolite it has better Defenses in both stats compared to Kingambit, and while Kingambit has better HP at 100, Bisharp as some other advantages over it's evolved form like being faster at 70 compared to Kingambit's 50, and even it's weaker physical Attack isn't that much weaker then Kingambit's, being only 10 points lower. So I think it has a good chance to be decent in competitive and maybe even better than its evolved form, but again, I know very little about competitive and the like, so I may be wrong. But I'm at least confident it's better than Electabuzz.

Hats off for somehow making an ad entertaining enough to not skip through

Every time I see the, “Includes Paid Promotion” in the corner, I immediately know it is time for GRUNTY BOI

Oh no! Grunty boi is back to steal Michael’s Spicy Secrets!!!

Eviolite Doublade is actually scary. It has a higher base defense than Aegislash in gen 8, actually, and the special defense becomes not horrible (though still not good). And combined with the fact it doesn’t have to become super frail when it attacks like Aegislash does, and it actually has a completely different niche from Aegislash.

Hey! I absolutely love your videos. Seriously one of my all time favorite KZfaqrs. I really just wanted to comment because I actually watched this video when you published it, but I'm in the market for a new bluetooth speaker and I remembered that you were sponsored by some ones that I remember thinking looked cool. Well, I just ordered them with your code (Paid $80 with shipping). Thanks! :D.

Micheal: If you use the code below you can get 68% off Me: Did you mean 50% off??

Chansey: My time has come

An update: Girafarig, Hisuian Qwilfish, Primeape, Ursaring, Hisuian Sneasel, Hisuian Goodra, White Basculin, Bisharp, Dipplin, freacking Duraludon and Stantler can hold the Eviolite.

I’m really late but I needed to see this video! Thanks for all the research you put into this one!

When you see “Includes paid promotion” you know it will be good

I love the Magnemite line, ever since they got the magnet pull ability they've been competitive staples in their respective tiers. Removing steel types was always their main purpose ever since gen 3 and they're really good at it, it just goes to show that you don't have to be a jack of all trades to be successful, just being world class at one thing is often good enough!

Mikey's sponsors are top notch, good enough for me to actually watch and not skip through 🤣

I used Rhydon on my first nuzlocke team, so seeing it here made me very happy :)

Grunty boi: stealing michael's stuff " Today is a good day. "

Grunty boi after learning he stole from Michael's mom:Profesionals have Standards!

I really like your instresting sponsor intros!

I am only subbed to you, binge watching like crazy past days, love when Grunty boi suddenly comes in looooool

"As a celebration of these pokemon" Me, a person who wishes chansey was not very good

I like how he actually makes the sponsors funny and not boring

Nice content, I very love pokemon content, hopefully you create more and more :D

This guy is the only KZfaqr i will always gladly watch the sponsors for

The fact that Grunty Boy is in this video makes me like it.

I Really Want Grunty Boy To Be Around More Often He Is So Funny Sometimes

2nd place has now been replaced by duraludon though, with the introduction of archaludon. Now that I think about it, duraludon with an eviolite is gonna be a monster to face god damn

That was probably the best sponsorship I’ve ever seen

I think I understand now why Galarian Corsola is perpetually sad... It wasn't included on this list. #JusticeForGalarianCorsola

Micheal:Its 68% off Also Micheal:If its not 100% accurate its 50% accurate

honestly that ad was very creative, kudos

It'd be cool to see variations that boost other stats (I mean, Light Ball is Eviolite for Attk & Sp. Attk, just exclusive to Pikachu).

Commercial: "this year, give her the gift of... eggs." *Video Restarts* The next 450 total pokemon, number 12 Chansey.

"Greatings, Pokéfans!" I die everytime. Gorgeous!

Your GruntyBoi skits are absolute top quality

11:03 to be fair, it gets super-effective stab for 4 of the 5 weeknesses

*Galarian corsola* Enters the chat bringing PTSD flashbacks.

I love your reaction when you found out that Grunty boy took your parents' speaker, broke into their house and when he said that would return it that was shocking and funny when he said well yeah I wanna ruin your life not her's and I like your reaction when you found out they had tea while he broke into your parents' house and I like when he said you got it and I'll be sure to took lots of your photos of your baby pictures and I like the part when you said wait I. The Grunty boy segments are so funny.

This is one of the only channels that I watch the sponsorships on

oh i just noticed this was posted on my birthday i'd consider this a special gift from mt fav poketuber

Actually the strongest unevolved pokemon is Alpharad’s mudkip in his Pokemon Emerald Challenge

Theory Jolteon and Grunty boi are in Kahhots for interrupting intros they are also very handsome

And your sponsor skits thingy is so epic

Best channel to sponsor I like it
