They need to give Giratina the Zygarde ability so that players can relive the Volo boss fight and have it go from base to Origin form. Call it Power Distortion, have it trigger at half, "Giratina's true form has been unleashed", recover some Hp, and switch the stats and the ability to Origin form.
@Robbie_Haruna 7 ай бұрын
The problem is that this would also be really bad, and wouldn't fix the issue at all. Girarina's two forms both want opposite things, so trying to build for one form means it'll either be terrible before its form switch or after. Your best bet would be to set up in Altered Forme, then sweep in Origin Forme, but Giratina not only lacks many good setup moves, but also lacks the speed to sweep anything.
@Crispy_DAWG 2 ай бұрын
@@Robbie_HarunaYeah and that stat spread is actually horrible on both ends. One form wants more speed and a little less bulk and the other wants less speed and more defenses. Just have it not have to hold an orb to transform. It doesn’t fix all of its issues, but it helps it out a bit.

To be fair to Giratina, the origin form actually got Day 2 at Worlds last Year on a Hyper Offence team with Dialga. If you Max you can Spam Max Phantasm with 140 Base Power that drops defense to potentially snow ball. I'm not a 100% sure but I think the person also had leer Tornadus to get the initial one to do massive damage. If I remember correctly Cybertron featured version of the Dialga+Giratina team in case anyone is interested.

@@Robbie_Haruna I mean even un-nerfed there technically were workarounds to Intrepid Sword (Unaware and Intimidate being the most obvious. Maybe Punishment if it didn't get dex-cut, but then again, Zacian resists). That said, like I said, it wouldn't have been as annoying if Zacian wasn't both fast and bulky. If Zacian was frail, it would *have* to KO the opposing Pokemon first, and even if Zacian 2HKOs the opposing pokemon, it would be easier to revenge-kill. If it were bulky but slow, then whatever opposing Pokemon would likely strike first, guarenteeing some damage even if OHKO'd.

Eeeeh we have a really bulky legendary already that... doesn't do much for its team. Giratina has Will o wisp which arguably would make it better than Lugia with Roost. But it'd need more movepool buffs, otherwise it would just do what Lugia does now: sit around and watch its team die.

8:30 One thing they could do is make Giratina's forms not be reliant on the Griseous Orb and just make it an item to switch forms freely like how Calyrex does with the steeds. Now Giratina can hold an item and hopefully be more viable.
@ironsightsmcgillycudy7753 6 ай бұрын
I think they could update it to at least be on par with other modern form exclusive held items. 20% boost to stab is pretty weak compared to some other unique items, especially when Ghost and Dragon post Fairy aren't the best offensive types outside of specific overtuned mons. Untying his form change from it is also good, but adjusting his stat distribution and updating his movepool would do way more for making Giratina viable and be way less work. And knowing Gamefreak, they want to put in the least amount of effort for literally everything.

in general gen 4 is the pokemon company's neglected, unwanted child. Despite selling better than gen 3 and gen 5 those 2 get so much more love than it. There is not a single gen 4 regional variant and only half a paradox pokemon (iron valiant on bulbapedia is labelled as a mix of gallade and gardevoir). The remakes were insulting, darkrai continually gets nerfed over and over. Cresselia got nerfed. Nothing special is ever done for it. Garchomp isn't allowed to get dragon dance and instead they made enamorous in legends arceus which garchomp can do nothing against. Even though legends arceus was supposed to be a sinnoh game it got a gen 5 pokemon for some reason. I could go on. Arceus isn't even allowed to have its legend plate

I refuse to shame zamazenta for being bad, coz it's not his fault. It'd be one thing if he had everything he need, but just couldn't cut it, that's not what this is. Gamefreak WENT OUT OF THERE WAY to screw the pooch over, while showering Zacian with love and I have no idea why. Never in the history of this franchise have I seen such balant favoritism between the cover legends. And fixing him is so easy. First, as everyone else has been saying, Behemoth Bash should be based off his defense that way he can go all in on bulk. Second, GIVE HIM KING'S SHIELD! I don't care that it's Aegislash's signature move. It fits Zam thematically, fits into his playstyle, and it helps make up for his undeserved nerf.

8:11 my personal take on buffing the dragon: Give a hidden ability shared by both forms, but with different effects for each one. On the normal form it would act as filter, making it a better wall; in Origin form, it would act as Tinted Lens, making its STAB moves much more spammable while reducing the need of coverage. This would also mean origin form has more room for support moves like t-wave and Will o Wisp. I feel like older legendaries need some love ability wise in general 😅 😅😅
@ironsightsmcgillycudy7753 6 ай бұрын
I was super sad that they didn't do something like this for Legends Arceus, personally I was expecting more work to be done in order to show why Giratina was this massive doomsday renegade pokemon that the literal god of all creation had to seal away in a pocket dimension. The fact some random ass folklore mon on a horse gets to up class the demigod/satan stand in that controls gravity itself is so confusing. IMO get rid of pressure, have both forms share Intimidate, Shadow Tag or Cursed Body's effect. Filter fits as a second effect for Altered but I think Unaware or Mold Breaker fits Origin form more, maybe even Defiant. Levitate is still great tbf so wouldn't complain if that stayed but overall giving older box legendary mons that didn't get megas or updated stats/unique abilities should be brought up to par and at least given unique abilities like Calyrex's As One, especially old box legendaries that have mediocre stat spreads and subpar move pools.

I think with Giratina being the Pokemon lord of antimatter, it's be cool if in Origin Form Shadow Force would just always hit super-effectively, utilizing the anitmatter in an offensive manner, while in its altered form it could instead give it some kind of recovery on the first turn as it goes back to its own realm and is able to heal up from the abundant antimatter. Alternatively, sticking with the antimatter theme, it could have an ability where it gets passive damage reduction (altered form) or a flat damage buff when dealing damage, a la neuroforce or tinted lens. Sure, it'd lose the ground immunity of levitate, but that isn't really helping it tbh. EDIT: I had another idea and added it.

@@Eroil because despite the low offensive power, lugia has one of the best "take a hit for free" abilities in the game in multiscale. it also has whirlwind to phase out setup mons. and some of the best recovery in the game via roost AND recover. put simply, lugia probably won't kill many things, but it doesn't need to when it can reset the battle over and over. in short, even with all of its' weaknesses, lugia is what giratina wishes it could be defensively.

I was hoping that the Adamant Crystal, Griseous Core and Lustrous Globe were just PLA exclusive items and they'd still get the damage boost AND transform.

I made bulky Giratina with leftovers work extremely well in 2016. Shadow force gives you an extra free turn of leftovers recovery. On its own it falls short but when part of a really switch team where everything covers it's weakness and there was also toxic and burn when burn chip was still good. I think the same strategy would work even better now with glimora and a defensive Terra type. Can't wait to see if it's still good

@kilianlindlbauer8277 7 ай бұрын
I think that giratina would really benefit from focusing more on one side of stats. Being balanced between physical and special makes it in theory harder to predict, but most sets will be physical anyway due to shadow force being rather good. What would be really interesting if it also swapped its hp with speed. That would make it rather fragile, but insanely fast at the same time, that could give it some niches and at least tge possibility for revenge killing

maybe improve giratina by making its form change work like the genies or hoopa, where instead of holding the griseous core you use it on giratina to switch it between altered and origin. this could free up its item space to allow for items like leftovers or life orb. the idea you had about shadow force is really good too and would give giratina origin a really nice use as being an attacker thats harder to defend against than normal attackers...

Pokémon abilities are the main thing that has power crept the older generations. That and signature moves and (signature) abilities. Giving Mewtwo it’s own ability would help tremendously. In fact, Deoxys should have an ability similar to Aegislash so that it can freely switch between it’s forms.

The biggest flaw in the balancing of Zamazenta imo, is apparent when you compare their abilities. Zacian gets an attack boost which is excellent because you choose which offensive stat you use. Zamazenta gets a defence boost which is nice, but whether or not you use your defence or sp.def isn't up to you, your opponent can always just choose to aim at your sp.def.

I feel that Mewtwo isn’t even close to as in need of help as Zamazenta and Giratina. Yeah, it’s given a lot of competition from the dreaded Calyrex-Shadow, but in my opinion, having competition isn’t nearly as bad as just not being able to function at all like the other two legendaries in the video. Mewtwo does very much function, it can get the job done. The issue is more so that it just has so much competition that it’s hard to justify using it for a lot of players, like you mentioned. Also I adore your idea of giving it Neuroforce! If they don’t want to do that, then they should at least give it a clone of the ability under a different name. They already do stuff like this, such as Protean and Libero. Honestly, just bring back Mega Mewtwo Y lol

With Zacian and Zamazenta I kind of feel like the typing of the 2 should've been swapped. Zacian feels more fighting-oriented with the sword theme, and Fairy type would only enhance the defence for Zamazenta. Maybe the types are the way they are for balance or something, but it kind of feels like they mixed up the 2 and put the types on the wrong ones when coding.

They should give Giratina some signature move or ability. Like a Distortion Terrain that deactivates all items on the field while it’s active to give it a niche. Or an offensive move with a name like Origin Reversal which could have like 80 BP and ghost typing and invert typings(defensive or fully idk) on the enemy side of the field the next turn. Then it could have a niche supporting more powerful restricted by limiting switch ins
