YEAH INNARDS OUT FOREVAAAAAAAAA shiinotic casually having a bowl cut

I LOVE PYUKUMUKU !!!!!!!!!!!!

How dare u.

yep, i find all three of those to be great and definitely up there on my list, spinda especially another less popular pick which is among my favorites would be cacturne, which i feel is heavily underappreciated and needs more love, or the pumpkaboo line, which i feel always gets overshadowed by the other version exclusive ghost grass line from x and y, the trevenant line another one close to my heart is duosion which was the first pokemon i ever saw in the games excluding zekrom, so it's also pretty high (reuniclus is awesome too) (also no way it's the metal guy)

spinda is so awesome! love to see it :)

@@ashleyisanidiot Reuniclus was my favourite for years, Pokepark 2 contributed heavily to that. That game was amazing, needs more love. I've alwawys pledged my loyalty to Maractus but I do quite respect Cacturne

Sigilyph is peak.

I love Beheeyem, its design encapsulates loads of different types of 1950s paranoia, and it hits like a truck. I used to use it in Gen 6 with an Assault Vest and it would hit so hard that people thought it was Specs and switched out into something that resists that one move.

I think it looks awesome, being a rock body with tentacle claws coming out of it. Apparently others thought not (Gen 6 has like 3 bad designs at most)

"You look like you could use a hand. How about I lend you seven?" As offputting as barnacles are, this lad has grown on me. Pretty decent defenses, Tough Claws, the rare Cross Chop...

Bruh

Step Pyukumuku, I'm stuck in the whirlpool!

And here comes the giant fist !!

Everybody’s first playthrough of Black/White with Sigilyph is life changing

@@shepskydad Mine dodged or Protected against every single Stone Edge and Rock Slide thrown at her by Marshal's team. :D but then again she was also one of the reasons why I struggled with Dark and Ghost types, so it evens out :v

Sigilyph is my all time favourite Pokémon, so I endorse this message

I tried using it against totem Ko-mo-o (IDK how to spell it) and got immediately one shot by poison jab then it was straight back into the forgot box

I was thinking the same thing. Raichu overall has much better natural stats and a free item slot. That and Pikachu refused to evolve it wasn't Ash that didn't let it

I wish Raichu could also use Light Ball for a 1.5x boost. The flaw with Light Ball is that, as mentioned, Pikachu is kind of bad outside of very niche situations, where its insane damage can shine without it getting smacked in return. Raichu's main issue, conversely, is that it has good speed and not absolute paper thin survivability, but its damage is extremely low even compared to its fellow Gen 1 Electric types (Jolteon just casually having higher stats in every category besides Attack, being a lot faster and naturally doing ~14% more damage with special attacks at max investment). If Light Ball could be used on Raichu, then it would be a win for both of them. Light Ball could be utilized outside of pretty much a gimmick, and Raichu wouldn't be dogwater in competitive. Or they could at least boost Pikachu's base Speed to 120, and Raichu's Speed to 130. Pikachu's whole thing is its Speed, yet it loses to Jynx and freaking _Lumineon_ in a race.

Thunder Punch TM? Where did you get such a thing in Red?

@@robertlupa8273 whoops, my bad. Must have been Thunderbolt.

Ash left the choice of whether to evolve to beat Surge up to Pikachu.

As much as I’ve hated on Watchog in the past, it does have a certain charm to it!

I like watchog solely because it looks like goldy the gopher

All my gear boys are awesome.

Klinklang deserves better. Only EIGHT physical moves in its SwSh movepool. Mostly normal with ONE dark. Signature steel move has 85 accuracy. Pure steel is rare, and I really like the "mechanical" design. It's far from the ugliest or laziest, and its stats are pretty okay. Stat total of 520, 100 base Attack, and 90 base Speed. A former signature move Shift Gear gives +1 Attack and +2 Speed, essentially giving Rayquaza's Attack combined with Deoxys-Nyoom's Speed. The gears got did dirty

I don't care that they denied the design inspiration. That design was 100% intentional.

@@GlacierStripez "Make Alola great again!"

I like him. I also made a ferret OC and gave a sketch to my mom, she colored him like a Gumshoos and that amused me.

Even creepier than Trevenant... _(shudders)_

It's also actually pretty good! Just too late to be useful

Honestly, I find the past paradoxes cooler, but the future ones are _creepier,_ and there’s equal value in both. Robots and living machines are a personal TERROR of mine. For some people, it’s dolls or puppets, but for me it’s giant hunks of sentient but unfeeling metal. It’s kinda a shame that *all* of the future ones got the lazy ‘future = robot!’ treatment, but the first few I saw were reeeeally effective at freaking me out, and I appreciate them for it. 🤖

Finally someone with a similar opinion to me

Ooh, what kind of upgrades/modifications do the future Paradox Pokemon have? Other than Iron Bundle or Iron Valiant, obv

@@Asm0d3u5 In general, the "main" changes are on the big neon parts, and there are "secondary" changes on non-neon ones. - Iron Treads' trunk is now an actual wheel which rolls independently, and the legs can withdraw into the body to make a sphere, so the Pokemon is like a monowheel now. - Aside from the head, Iron Bundle has also had its bag turned into a snow cannon, which doubles as means of propulsion, and its feet are skis to take advantage of that (shown in a couple of its TCG arts and the run animation). - Iron Hands' palms are defibrillators in reference to Hariyama's old signature move Smelling Salts (called Resuscitation in JP) as seen when using Thunderbolt, plus the hands themselves have a much longer range for physical attacks. - Iron Jugulis' side heads are also detached, but instead of being just range extension they act like homing drones, which can be sent at the enemy and retrieved later as seen during Dragon Tail. There's a possibility that they have their own brains unlike with Hydreigon, but that's not confirmed. - Iron Moth's wings aren't needed for flight, so they're now a sun-related device (likely solar panels but could also be lamps or something else) as they're combined into a sun shape to fire certain attacks such as the Beam moves and Bug Buzz. Also, its legs are missiles supplied from inside its body, as shown in its "rare" Synchro Mode attack animation and the TCG art. - Lightsaber aside, Iron Valiant's chest spike is now a gun that extends to shoot attacks like Shadow Ball or Psybeam (Gardevoir's side of the mon). Plus, its upper body can rotate independently from the lower one letting it perform walking spin attacks, another one from the "rare" Synchro attack animation. - The blades of the Iron Swords of Justice have been adapted to each member's role: Virizion is the fast one, so Iron Leaves gets 3 slim longswords; Terrakion is the strong one so Iron Boulder gets one giant sword/axe; Cobalion is the middle ground so Iron Crown gets 2 medium-sized horns, which are also the only ones with a ranged attack since it's the leader. Speculation-wise, the latter two spin their heads while fainting, which could be used together with said blades to make a drill (for Boulder) or a 360° projectile turret (for Crown), but that's unconfirmed. Yes, I've spent too much time looking into them.

@@bluekirby_64 Somehow knew about most of them, except Iron Jugulis, Iron Valiant's gun heart spike, and Iron Moth! Thank you, this makes them so much cooler!

I love Raichu, it's one of my favorites.

Pikachu better, take your pokemon co. mandated pills. Also raichu is lame.

@@ratatouilledrinksclorax9897 to each their own.

Mightyena saved my tail in the Tate and Liza fight. He'll always have a place in my Hoenn teams.

Mightyena is really popular with furries who grew up playing gen 3. It has a disproportionate amount of fanart on deviantart

And then made Pikachu able to Gmax, therefore showing it can't evolve

Same but swapped Psyshock for stored power

@MadMalMan it probably did get stored power recently, will keep that in mind next time it's in a game

I've been running it in showdown with psychic, flash cannon, energy ball, and shadow ball. I'll have to try that out though

Raichu is also more popular with flurries, but that's more a curse than a blessing. At least that was my experience back in the day, there's probably more raw Pikachu art from furries but the Raichu appreciation feels stronger.

That scared me as well
