The Excellence of Gen 5 Keldeo.

Рет қаралды 43,151

Күн бұрын

Pokemon Competitive Singles in Gen 5 is a world dominated by Keldeo. This premiere offensive threat is one of the most prominent Pokemon in the metagame thanks to its excellent Water/Fighting typing which is great Offensively and Defensively. With excellent stats and the signature move "Secret Sword" which can hit Special walls hard, this is one powerful Horse.
Keldeo can fit on any style of team and is one of the most commonly seen Pokemon in high level play. Some may even consider it too powerful. That's fair maybe. I like it though.

Some will never figure out how to get Keldeo in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Keldeo Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Keldeo Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.
The below text is very relevant to many people.
Game Freak just blew all other online game development schools out of the water with this incredible new 2022 release. You're gonna need to get a game design degree online, and FAST, if you want to make a better game than this. Not even the best strategy games android reddit could hold a candle to this breathtaking Next generation competitive Pokemon experience.
Scream Tail is the Jigglypuff of our wildest dreams. It has been buffed with some higher statistics and the incredible ability, Protosynthesis. Gen 9 Competitive Pokemon wouldn't be the same without this powerful pink blob. He kinda looks like someone I met in one of my game design and development courses.
Gen 9 Pokemon Showdown is one of the greatest online gaming sites in history. From Pikachu and Charizard, to Palafin and Roaring Moon, The new Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, have introduced a lot of new faces. Can I succeed in one of the best android games of all time? If so, I'm gonna get myself a Walmart bakery Pokemon cake to celebrate.
Gholdengo is a Pokemon made of pure gold. He must have done some online business management courses to accumulate all that wealth. Or perhaps he might want to learn how to make money playing video games on KZfaq. In any case, he's a powerful metagame force, with absolutely no interest in online game development schools.

Lets be real. If keldeo were released as a new pokemon nowadays, they would totally be given ice beam for flawless fighting/water/ice coverage, and an ability that immediately boosts sp.att or speed upon switch in.

@screwtokaiba 10 ай бұрын

Its actually kinda notable that despite the evident power creep in Gen 5, it was the gen that actually kinda stepped back in the movepool of the mons of the generation. Which is funny since this is the gen with arguably the highest average power level in gen and indivdiual pokemon in every format. Its not even older gen being tame - gen 1 movepool were super meme, and 2-3-4 isnt too far off. Its just 5 taking a dip Key example - several water type lacking Ice Beam(previously its iirc only Magikarp), the dragon trio lacking Earthquake. The starter trio lacking Earthquake(was on every starter until gen 5). Before BW2 Excadrill actually lacks Iron Head and to this day cant even use Stone Edge which is surprising considering the kind of Pokemon it is aesthetically Theres outlier like Drudiggon having insanely good movepool(basically Garchomp minus set up move but have Glare which is actually insanely good and Thunder Fang), and Hydreigon(compared to Garchomp it arguably have a more diverse move option due to being more elementally themed. Garchomp movepool were good/better focused but it reads more like a basic Ground type with a token Dragon options. Contrast to Dragonite + Tyranitar's Kaiju moveset, and Salamence being randomly nonsensical due to Events/Egg moves)

He gets Icy Wind, which is ice beam but multitarget and always slows the opponent instead of sometimes freezing. It only has 5 less base power too, so... Yeah no, keldeo is still objectively not OU strength and instead should be ubers.

Actually Toxicroak is one of the best counters against Keldeo in gen 5. Immune to water, resists secret sword, and not weak to icy wind and hidden power grass/ghost. Against CM sets, you can also keep pace with bulk up and end up ahead with drain punch

@DonDavelle 10 ай бұрын

Simple, if your gen 5 team didn't gave an Amoongus or Water Absorb Jellicent than good luck switching into it if rain happens to be up. Kinda helps that Water/fighting is the perfect stab combination that prevents every other weather setter from switching in to Keldeo without fear of getting ohkoed. The only awful thing about Keldeo is that your essentially fighting without an ability and yet it's still that good.

I think I developed into the competitive player I am today during that tournament. I learned to be much more flexible in trying new things out and to give less traditional teams a chance. I'd say that dragmag is my favorite team archetype to this day.

People who use the "identity argument" dont know what thjey talkin about A competitive metagame should be aboput the competitiveness, which means making sure to reward skill Allowing Keldeo and Latios restricts teambuilding in such a big way that team structures make you require to use soimething or else you lose and even then it is unreasonably difficult, near impossible to check every threat, it doesnt matter what team style you use, you just get destroyed by one Pokemon no matter what Keeping broken stuff around to check other broken stuff around is not how things should be done imo, cuz if thats the case then lets just start every generation without bans, so Ubers becomes the new standard play format, which Im not totally against, but since competitive Pokemon has had initial banlist ever since gen1, it is how it works now. If the ban of keldeo and latios makes other Pokemon broken, then ban those too until nothing breaks the metagame, thats how it should be
