I’m surprised at the lack of Azumarill. Was a generic and passive bulky water in gen 2. Got Huge Power in gen 3. Got actuall water stab in gen 4. Gen 5 wasn’t as eventful but then gen 6 gave it fairy type, AND Assault Vest as an option, AND let it legally be able to have both Aqua Jet and Belly Drum when they were previously impossible to have on the same set. Z moves in gen 7 let it guarantee a Z BellyDrum.

Imagine if we had gotten Larvesta as the fire starter instead of Tepig. Like there was a middle stage between Larvesta and Volcarona that was a cocoon.

Idc what anyone says Togekiss getting Fairy was one of the best glow ups

I still think it's a crime that Gyarados can't at least learn Acrobatics or Aerial Ace, maybe even Pluck as an egg move. having to use Bounce or Hurricane really is a shame because those other moves aren't even that op imo

Blastoise won worlds last year in the juniors division 😅. Definitely did something in vgc

Scizor also got a lot better as the generations went on. In gen 2, the best Scizor had going for it was its typing, as its only steel moves were Metal Claw and Steel Wing, and its only options for bug moves were Fury Cutter and HP Bug, so the only thing Scizor was really good for was Baton Passing Agility and Swords Dance. In gen 3 it got access to Morning Sun from XD: Gale of Darkness, but its best attribute was still its typing and Baton Pass. Then we hit gen 4 and things really improved for Scizor, getting access to Technician, Bullet Punch, U-Turn, X-Scissor, Bug Bite, and Roost. Didn't get much in gen 5, but then it got a mega in gen 6 that added 20 points to its attack, 40 points to its defense, 20 points to its special defense, and 10 points to its speed.

Blastoise is a monster. Glad it's getting love. I sure hope that Venusaur and Blastoise are coming back

I find that Skarmory is an interesting case of a Pokemon getting a notable buff in almost every generation: Gen 3: Spikes, Taunt Gen 4: Stealth Rock, Shed Shell, Brave Bird Gen 5: Sturdy buffed to be automatic Focus Sash, Rocky Helmet Gen 6: Defog buff Gen 7: ...uh, okay, it didn't get anything this gen Gen 8: Body Press I absolutely predicted Dragonite as #1 though.

Pelliper and Azumarill also got massive buffs over time.

What people don't know is how much DELIBIRD has improved since it's inception. it gets a Gen 8 buffed Rapid Spin that lets it boost it's speed while ridding hazards from the field all while being immune to Hazards itself thanks to Boots. But that's not where it stops, as the Meta has become far more favorable to it. due to the busted mons it'll encounter frequently. 252 SpA Delibird Blizzard vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Great Tusk: 384-452 (103.5 - 121.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO (this is a viable Tusk spread, i swear) 252 SpA Delibird Blizzard vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Dragapult: 290-344 (91.4 - 108.5%) -- 50% chance to OHKO (Adamant/Modest Pult gets outran after Rapid Spin) 252 SpA Delibird Blizzard vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Landorus: 384-456 (100.5 - 119.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO 0- SpA Delibird Blizzard vs. Lvl 10 252 HP / 252+ SpD Zacian-Crowned: 178-210 (378.7 - 446.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO 252+ SpA Choice Specs Delibird Freeze-Dry vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Urshifu-Rapid-Strike: 362-428 (106.1 - 125.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO 252+ SpA Choice Specs Delibird Freeze-Dry vs. 0 HP / 0- SpD Iron Bundle: 253-298 (100 - 117.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO It doesn't end here, Nat Dex Players are gonna love this. 252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera Ice Delibird Blizzard vs. 0 HP / 252+ SpD Rayquaza-Mega in Strong Winds: 360-428 (102.5 - 121.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO But WAIT you ask, what about Kingambit, the thorn that'll always ruin it's career, uh about that. 252 Atk Supreme Overlord 5 allies fainted Tera Flying Kingambit Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Fairy Delibird: 165-195 (71.4 - 84.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO 252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera Fairy Delibird Blizzard vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Tera Flying Kingambit: 432-510 (106.9 - 126.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO 252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera Fighting Delibird Tera Blast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Kingambit: 436-520 (107.9 - 128.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO Inconclusion, Delibird has only gotten better as the game has introduced more victims for it to take advantage of. It's only untiered because the main man at Smogon go 6-0'ed by one.

If Clefable is coming back for the DLC, that gives me a shred of hope for Minior. Just because of the theme between the two are kinda similar. A man can dream lol

Now its clear to me i was wondering why mega-blastois was in nationaldex-ubers i totally forgot it recived shellsmash in gen 8

I have so many fond memories of playing against a lot of people in my neighborhood competitions, and just dominanting with Trick Room setting Porygon2 paired with Rhyperior.

Donphan and Volcarona got spoiled by having two Paradox forms each

Actually, Gen 6 was the debut of Weakness Policy, which Multiscale Dragonite was one of the best users

Crawdaunt is a bro. Sash Endeavor Aqua Jet is the most cathartic combo.

Describing Politoed as "changing the climate of Gen V" made me laugh .

A team for radical red version 4.0 would be great. There are gen 9 mons with moves upto gen 9. Believe it or not, it is pretty fun to build a team for radical red.

Imagine if they also changed mega gallade’s ability to sharpness ☠️☠️☠️

Yes, Gallade, my favourite trade evolution

Keep up the good work and like some of these Pokémon

Now we need Pokémon that got worse overtime

I hope your safe mystic were getting the hurricane here in Arizona

Vanilluxe also gained Snow Warning in gen 7.

Gen 8 VGC it provided a niche role of Gmax Charizard. It also provides support if you want to go the direction.

I think that Dragonite is the number 1 Pokemon to get buffs overtime.

Honestly, many Gen 2 pokemon should've been included in this list. For a dex that mostly has pokemon with notoriously bad base stats, many pokemon like Azumarill, Scizor and Skarmory to name a few became significantly better across different Generations after they were introduced in Gen 2.

4:37 this line aged well!

Anyone else hear him hype up the number one spot and assume it was Azumarill?

Mystic what are your thoughts on frosmoth? Is it in your top 10 favorite pokemon list?

Welll I was wrong, just as a blind guess I thought Slowbro was going to be on the list. But hey Clefable is even better.

I think Blastoise won either juniors or seniors division, the last worlds of sword and shield

"Overtime" and "over time" are two different things.

I love us8ng dragonite in playthroughs it's so clutch all the time.

Not sure why scizor wasn’t on here considering it got bullet punch in gen 4, a mega in gen 6, and more coverage options later down the line. Edit: almost forgot to mention technician

Cleffable gets the love from the gamemakers because they wanted Clefairy to be the original mascot is my theory.

Clefable also got 10+ Sp. Atk in Gen 6, also buffed Teleport in Gen 8

Isn't crap we never got a strong slicing steel move? I mean one of the first things I think about when someone says metal/steel is blades.

It’s funny that despite getting no Megas, Z Moves, or Gigantomax forms, Dragonite is still as great as it is.

i loved my Unova team Emboar Bisharp braviary Zekrom Gigalith

Should do a series of BEST Pokemon Teams for playthroughs if you DONT use a starter pokemon

Gyarados having electrical and grass attacks really ticked me off as it makes no sense for it to have those moves. Coverage moves have gotten so crazy that having the Types for Pokemon almost becomes pointless.

Nice video

I mean while its true Gallade got better over time… Gardevoir kept on getting new coverage moves (and the fairy type) over time… they’ve both gotten some nice buffs over the generations… (Too bad power creep made most of those buffs kinda mute except for gen 6 basically lol…)

hey where is scyzor??

You should do a video on pokemon that have never dropped below uu

best team for radical red 4.0 plss !

Gallade isn’t a trade evolution though. All you need to do is evolve a M Kirlia with a Dawn Stone.

When was this meant to drop ? It mentioned rillaboom in the dlc. And gen 9 as if it was in the future ?

Dragonite #1

About that? Gyarados has no dragon moves. Scratch that… no good dragon moves

what about charizard? I know that stealth rocks has sorta ruined it, but the mega's, z moves and gigantamax (which made it really competitive) really improved it and has allowed charizard to (kind of) compete at higher levels. it is far better now than it was in gen 1 2 or 3

1:43 what does this even mean

4th then

There's a difference between overtime (extra/additional time like at the end of a game) and "over time" (across/throughout time)

You forgot Booba 😳

For every pokemon that got buffed, 50 got nerfed. Gayme is less cool now.

You forgot that gen 3 they gave meteor mash to clefable
