welcome to bl knights where the featured mon is on the field for a collective 5 minutes while joey and blunder sweep with dd roaring moon for the 5783th time
@@thalyssonvThe context: double patty, extra cheese, no onions, blue kelp, and seven pickles… with a little something special on the side. RIP masquerain.
That's part of it, but the much bigger part is how powerful stored power is. Latias has the bulk to get a lot of boosts, especially when you can Tera out of your weakness laden psychic typing. Latios, due to being less bulky, can't set up to the same degree. It's strong enough to not need as many boosts to be threatening normally, the calm mind sets would basically never go above +2 since they didn't need to, but you don't have that runaway growth that comes from both boosting your special attack a bunch, as well as boosting your attacking move up to last respects level power. Latios is good but it can be walled by a limited number of pokémon (very set dependent, but everything has good options that are reasonably easy to fit on teams, so it takes effort to win with it). You also aren't able to reasonably boost your speed due to not enough bulk, which allows you to be revenge killed
@@auroraourania7161yeah it mainly fell off due to 110 speed not being that fast anymore, so it has to rely on agilty to sweep and latias is just better at setting up
Joey needs to unleash the beast more on these collabs with blunder. With suave its all talk about "thats not my arm" but with blunder its about pokemon 😂
That last game is the most gambit shit ever, your gambit gets 5 kills there gambit comes out and gets 5 kills but narrowly loses because they were forced to exhaust first.
Joey, do you think doing the BL knights in successive tiers (i.e. RUBL in UU, NUBL in RU, etc.) would make for a more fun series? Different meta-games, team variety, and chances of getting as high as you did in OU
I guess it depends. Back when Soul Dew gave a 50% boost, Latias was the better choice in Ubers because it was one of the only Pokemon who could take two Choice Specs Water Spouts in the rain from Kyogre at full HP and live to Recover or KO.
@@samperez1727 Yea Gen 3 Latias was her highest peak and at the time was the generations best pokemon. (although you obv cant go wrong using Latios either) Latias also had the better mega in gen 6/7 days that gave her more of a niche than Latios did. So she's had her moments. But the argument the guy was making was that Latios > Latias in gen 9 OU tier despite Latias being UUBL and Latios being UU. Which I should aint exactly a fair comparison cause OU plays completely different from UU, favoring offense where Latios has the advantage. Judging them based on the tier they were ment to be in is a more fair comparison. Both were judged in UU and Latias was seemed too strong for the tier, Latios was not. But even then Pokeaim said it best when I asked him: "Latias is better than Latios in this gen because Latias does not have to win speed wars in order to succeed, Latios has to win." This is because of the nature of Latias' stored power set. She can go for a more defensive build to live hits while boosting up with Agility and Calm Mind. Latios can get outsped and KOd easier, esp since the speed and power level of pokemon are as higher as ever. Not having to worry about having a higher natural speed is a big pro she has over Latios. Also having the move Draining Kiss that gives her access to healing while attacking is a big thing too Latios doesnt have, esp if powered with Tera Fairy. On the flipside, you can also argue that its better to put in work as a top mon in UU than being in purgatory, doing nothing, in UUBL. This is the case for Lati Twins in Gen 7; Latios is doing nothing in UUBL while Latias is the Queen of UU. Its an argument I like to use alot funny enough.
@@aetherius6221 I mean if you compare to gen 8 Zacian or Miraidon who is omega fast and power stacks itself beyond oblivion... yes a broken personal item may be needed.
It has meant both. Back in the day, it meant borderline, but I think that was officially changed sometime in early generation 7 to Make it ban list. I'm guessing they did so to make it more clear what tier the pokémon are banned from for new players (I remember I was always confused, was UUBL banned from UU or from ru? Now it's easy to tell)
