The amount of Charisma this man brings to the table is f****** ridiculous this dude is on the list of channels I watch religiously

Grovyle’s design is so clean that everyone agrees it’s the best out of the hoenn trio even if they picked the others

In my opinion, Grovyle is the only middle evolution that genuinely looks better than its final evolution, which is saying something because Sceptile still looks sick. Glad to see it was your #1 as well

I actually think Dewott is one of the best middle stage starters. And glad to see Johto starters getting some love. Always thought Quilava was so clean lol

Ok I've gotta pipe up a bit for my boy Dewott cause this line is getting a lot of shade so far! Dewott really starts to bring in the samurai aesthetic with the top knot, the whiskers, and the shell blades strapped to the hips ready to go full Vergil JUDGEMENT CUT on anyone who tries to jump him! Of course all in good fun, love the videos and excited for the final stage rankings!

I love this editing plus the script, it's truly incredible. BUT if anyone else tells me that Drizzile is a better mid-evolution than Dewott we about to throw hands

I think Monferno deserves more credit for looking like a natural evolution to Chimchar and pre evolution to Infernape whilst having an awesome design of its own

Ivysaur to me is the clear number one. Nobody rates it yet it is the perfect middle evolution between bulbasaur and venusaur, which is what the middle forms were supposed to be. Also, even in a vaccuum, it has a clean ass design. Edit: side note I love how on bulbasaur the back flower is just a bulb, then on ivysaur the bulb opens to reveal the closed flower, and then on venusaur the flower finally blooms into a large beautiful plant. Really exemplifies the excellent job gamefreak did with transitioning one member of the line to the next.

Braxien isn't perfect, but if it were Fennekin's final evolution I think everyone would like it more than Delphox. The tail broom fire friction wand thing was actually really cool, and I'm sad it went away when it evolved. If its real middle evolution was just a bigger quadraped that would have been way better

man the banter and the editing this guy has, big up man love it

I could listen to this guy talk about Pokémon forever. Literally top-notch entertainment.

I honestly like grovyle’s design more than sceptile

Grovyle is literally the only middle evolution (not even just among starters) that i really didn't want to evolve since it looks sooo cool. I prefer it's sleek design to the more bulky Sceptile (which is still a great design, but just not on the same level). Mystery Dungeon bias could be partly responsible for this. Time/Darkness/Sky are THE best pokemon spin off games.

I was looking forward to hearing you roast Pignite and Quilladin, and you Sir did not disappoint 😂💀

I actually love Grotle. A beefy friend. But to me, Ivysaur is #1

I am honestly really surprised to see Dewott this low. It has imo one of the greatest middle stage starter Pokemon design. Anyways it's your opinion and I've to respect it

I'm so hyped for the final evolutions ranked. This guy is amazing.

Gotta remember that the mascot of the Pokémon Company is a middle evolution.

I actually liked Grotle's Design. Among my top 3 in mid stage evos, My worse is that Prinplup and Quilladin.

So glad Bayleef gets some love. I've always been enamored with its design

Why you gotta put my Dewott below below the trainwreck that is Combusken, leave my Samurai otter alone!

Now rank the move evolutions next: -Mr. Mime (Mimic) -Sudowoodo (Mimic) -Ambipom (Double Hit) -Lickilicky (Rollout) -Tangrowth (Ancient Power) -Yanmega (Ancient Power) -Mamoswine (Ancient Power) -Sylveon (any Fairy move) -Tsareena (Stomp) -Naganadel (Dragon Pulse) -Grapploct (Taunt)

Mate, your banter keeps getting sharper and sharper, I snort laughed multiple times during this.

The Oshawott slander will not be tolerated >:(

Grovyle and PMD go hand in hand for me, it made me love Grovyle so much more, just because of that game. Glad you mentioned it.

Torchic and Blaziken are too good for Combusken to look like that

Seeing Dewott below Combusken really hurt ma feelins

The middle evolution stage really is the awkward teenage stage of every teen

The treecko line has always been the best starter line from beginning to end. It’s just so consistently good that it took me a long time to pick my favorite stage

I don’t like a lot of the mid evolutions. Though these Pokémon I really like. My favourites are in order: Raboot Grovyle Braxien Dewott

2:19 This had me laughing for a good 10 minutes🤣🤣

thanks for the laughs recently man been going through it a bit and when im not busy these vids help even if they are jus u rambling about pokemon designs and putting them in a list i rate this content

As someone who loves turtwig and Torterra, yeah grotle’s design is bad, it’s a good showcase of what it’ll become but bad overall

The most underrated PokeTuber. It's absolutely criminal that this guy doesn't have more subs. Another class video, mate!

Big up the cold ones reference my man knows KZfaq

5:30 🤣 I almost dropped my weights while doing incline press.

Charmeleon, Croconaw, Grovyle, Monferno, Pignite, Braixen, Dartrix and Thwackey are my favourite mid evolution starters.

I can’t even be mad about Grovyle being #1. I chose Mudkip so Grovyle was the one who’s been living in my head rent free from the route 110 battle as well😅Plus the mystery dungeon hype really escalated it into stand-alone status so I fully understand it. But glad you can agree Quilava is a solid #2 since it’s my favorite Pokémon:) (Yes even over Typhlosion)

Nice take on Drizzile. I’ve been thinking he’s pretty over-hated so it’s nice seeing some minor praise tossed his way

My favorites from each gen are: Charmeleon, Bayleef, Grovyle, Monferno, Dewott, Frogadier, Torrecat and Raboot!

As of recent, Braixen has managed to quickly climb the ranks to my Top 5 of all Pokémon. Such a great design, and probably the best looking of its line (and this is coming from someone who likes Delphox too). Shoutouts to the anime and Pokken for helping me come to love this fox

I'm upset that dewott didn't take no.1, really makes up for the oshawott line (and the only time I actually preferred the middle evolution than the final/first)

Wasnt expecting the cameo of the funny little character, did you guys saw the little funny character, he seems cool

We all know these middle stages are worse than cradily

Grovyle is always king. If Sceptile didn’t exist, it might just be my favourite Pokemon ever.

Now as a guy who likes every Starter Pokemon [Yes, I'm serious] as far as Middle Evolutions go its hard to rank all of them in one as of now, but these are the ones that i love dearly as far as top6~ Quilava [Favorite Johto mon] Torracat [Favorite Alola mon] Braixen Servine [Favorite Unova mon] Dewott Raboot.

cold ones reference was definitely unexpected but welcomed

Been waiting for this, big ups

Brionne was actually one of my favorites, that line being one of the only two that made me go water. The other being Totodile of course, that's just an A+ gen starter wise, hardest of the lot to choose.

Personally, I love Ivysaur. Top 5 for me. I think this is one of the rare example of me liking every evolution. Cool colors, cool plant on head, and overall really cool design. I think I would switch him with Bayleef

aw man, i like combusken. the eyes and the 3 streaks of hair look really cool imo. its cry is amazing as well probably one of my fav mid evos

The one thing that I find off-putting about Thwackey is the legs. They just look like they shouldn’t be the same colour as the rest of his body to me and I don’t know why.

I usually agree with most of your takes but your not telling me you rate Dartrix. If Quilladin was drawn by a 2 year old, Dartrix was born by the grown up game freak employee who drew Quilladin. That man got even worse at drawing

I’m so scared to see where he rates Samurott

Putting Prinplup, Monferno and Servine higher than Dewott should be a crime

My ranking: 24: Quilladin 23: Pignite 22: Brione 21: Bayleef 20: Servine 19: Marshtomp 18: Wartortle 17: Thwackey 16: Dartrix 15: Combusken 14: Prinplup 13: Torracat 12: Braixen 11: Croconaw 10: Raboot 9: Grotle 8: Ivysaur 7: Quilava 6: Frogadier 5: Drizzile 4: Grovyle 3: Charmeleon 2: Dewott 1: Monferno

That Mystery Dungeon comment... I felt that But despite that, Bayleef is my favorite middle stage, I just like the Chikorita line that much. Grovyle's still top 5 at the very least

U put dewott where? Nah fam come catch these

This video gives me mixed feelings. On one hand you put some of my favorites way lower than I expect like Dewott, Braixen, and Brionne, but you also had good points on why some of the other mid evos I don't really like have good designs like Frogadier, Raboot, and Servine.

How is grotle lower then pignite

Makes me sad that Brionne gets so much hate. I think it's adorable and is one of my fave middle stages alongside Braixen, Quilava and Bayleef.

Dewott is like my favorite middle evolution how is it at 20 i’m a little biased because gen 5 is my favorite and first game and oshowat was my og starter but i still think dewott deserves top 10 Edit: How is servine 10 spots higher Edit 2: There is no shot that bayleef is top 5

That rabbot explanation takes me back man, to the days when before our midday class p and after break where people would be selling £1.15 lucozades for 80p and thinking they are making a hussle. I remember buying a packet of maoams for 40p when. The are a pound each at. The corner shop.

2:25 I respect the reference.

did pignite ridiculously dirty

Lol Dewott is a top 5 contender, He is the beast part of his line.

Bro look at the year. How do you even draw the connection in your mind between prinplup on the futurama briefs. I mean your right.... im just impressed

not very often I see one of these lists/rankings where Drizzile isn't in the bottom 5, and not only that, it's not very often I see others giving Drizzile any semblance of respect, this list makes me happy

Middle stage starters work better for the grass types because plants have a more gradual growing.

My favorite is Ivysaur, but I also love Grotle, Grovyle, and Torracat. I don't like Prinplup or Combusken. Also, I think Servine is lame because it seems like someone used a pokemon fusion on serperior and snivy

tfw Grotle is #24 when I love every member of the Turtwig line.

These videos are banging good. Happy I found this dude

If not for Servine I think the Unova starters would be all bottom tier but Quilidon man truly one of the most rom bootleg evolutions to be conceived.

Grovyle is my favorite second stage, followed by dewott.

as always, the funniest thing to me about these videos is how he talks about ranking things, down to putting the tier list image in the thumbnail, and then he comes is with a numbered list. amazing. I don't know if anyone notices it, or if he's even doing it on purpose, but I'm pretty sure this is an active choice. and it's funny. but also this guy kills it with the writing and summing up what's good or not about pokemon. I can't even be mad if he disses a pokemon I like. and mad respect to the johto middle starters! bayleef croconaw and quilava are not only great progression on their previous forms, they're fantastic steps on the way to their final evolutions (which I see I like more than he does). I think johto might have the most consistently good starter pokemon across all their evolutions, of any generation.

I can't believe this. I genuinely agree with every single ranking on this list. I guess your man's just got taste.

I actually really like Drizzile as a middle stage (I find it a lot better than Inteleon) so I'm glad to see some others that appreciate it.

"That's him Daddy! He's the one who called me Oshawho!" Can't wait for the finale to the mini series.

A cold ones reference in the chespin entry, a man of culture I see

I just discovered your channel and I think you’re absolutely hilarious.

I think grotle is fucking beautiful. it looks like a stealth tank walking around camouflaging itself with bushes. also I will never except brione not being the worst mid stage. least controversial my ass haha

Finally! Someone appreciates Charmeleon!

My manz just puttin out banger after banger

First time watcher. I gotta say very refreshing Pokémon takes and content. You’re hilarious man, keep it up! 😂 Subscribed.

Grovyle is a top 3 favorite of mine overall and i like it over sceptile by a bit. Pokemon mystery dungeon helped though

For my Choice here it is Lower class 24:Quilladin too ugly 23:Brionne not As bad as quilladin but not good 22:Prinplup kinda ugly 21:Pignite wouldve been 23 But after using it more i started to like it 20:Grotle same reason as prinplup but i just like it a bit more than pignite and prinplup Meh class 19:Croconaw I love totodile and feraligatr but croconaw… its meh 18:Servine I dont like the Ash’s snivy but servine is okay just outclassed 17:Dartrix Emo overlord 16:Combusken its Not Horrible but i prefer others 15:Marshtomp Derpy but in an okay way ig 14:Thwackey its alright 13:Raboot gen 8 starters are honestly around the same middle stage wise 12:Drizzile as i said with raboot High class 11:Dewott i like it more than i thought but its not AMAZING 10:Braixen probably the most underrated middle stage 9:Torracat Its good but i thought 8 were better 8:Wartortle All of gen 1 are Good 7:Ivysaur near the same with wartortle 6:Bayleef HUGE UPGRADE from chikorita 5:Charmeleon Better than Ivysaur and wartortle but barely cracks top 5 4:Monferno Pretty good infernape is my favorite pokemon of all time BUT i will say its not the absolute best 3:Frogadier Solid and No downgrades just Not as good as the other teo 2:Quilava Honestly great BUT number 1 is the best 1:Grovyle Honestly very cool and Ash’s was very memorable as a grovyle so overall the Generation averages 8: Unova dewott made it high class But its pretty downgraded 7: Galar all are solid just none of them made it high class 6: Alola Torracat is solid but the other two are…Bad especially brionne 5: Sinnoh Honestly couldve been swapped with 4 But I just think grotle and prinplup are Bad 4:Kalos Quilladin just brings it down TOO MUCH 3:Johto not bad croconaw is Meh but bayleef and quilava are good just cant beat 2 and 1 2:Hoenn even though grovyle Made it number 1 I have a reason for gen 3 being number 2 1:Kanto even though grovyle got number 1 All of Kanto made it High class so Kanto Wins

Sobble's evo, who's name escapes me, is at the bottom for me along with the rest of its cursed bloodline

U are such a man of culture ur voice emits power, emits power into places I didn't even know could reach, like my brain, didn't realise that smooth shit was still their

Grovyle isn’t just the goat, it’s a straight up absolute heaven tier gift from God. Grovyle Quillava Frogadier Charmeleon Bayleef These are the 5 goats for me (Croconaw is left out for me because it reminds me of marshtomp a lot, which I’m indifferent about.)

Interestingly enough. Wartortle & Ivysaur are about tied for me too! It's a little odd I feel the same way about Bayleef and Quilava as well!! Although I must say Dewott is straight up S tier. Slick design and a pretty sick signature move to boot. Top 5 in no order Wartortle Quilava Grovyle Dewott Braixen

Thats a cool little character, I like that!

14:39 Bro how did you know exactly what my Christmas was like in 2011?! Even got the XRocker! I’ll never forget hooking up my DSI to the chair’s speakers and just blaring the Sprout Tower as I played Heart Gold for the first time.

You ranked BRIXEN at 16?!?! Whack. Mad whack

The UK jokes about Raboot killed me

This man killed me with the way he clapped Grotle and Quilladin

The cold ones reference got me to sub, gg man love cold ones

Straight up on the fridge, just the other way round. 🤣

Super excited for the final evolutions!!

Your commentary goes a long way that I must subscribe

I've been sitting in my safe space for 72 hours straight, no bathroom breaks, because I'm salty about you doing my boi turtwig dirty
