7:25 “Fly you get from Chuck’s wife after you beat her” Mystic beating people’s wives now okay

We need six machamp, so we can beat whitneys miltank.

"Fearow will be our flying type" 10 years old me:*Laughs at my 88Lv Crobat*

Who's playing during quarantine

"Heracross on route 33" Me: Ok let's catch him. 56 Ratata's later Me: Yes

Typhlosion's recommended moves kinda looks like a burger

Typhlosion: lava plume, foucus blast, solar beam, earthquake Fearow: drill pack, fly, return, u-turn Anpharos: discharge, foucus blast, thunder wave, signal beam Heracross: brick break, rock tomb, megahorn, shadow claw Espeon: psybeam, shadow ball, reflect, psychic Lapras: surf, perish song, ice beam, thunder

3:55 Typhlosion 6:55 Fearow 9:17 Ampharos 11:04 Heracross 13:13 Espeon 15:13 Lapras

Typhlosion is the best Arcanine: ᴬᴹ ᴵ ᴬ ᴶᴼᴷᴱ ᵀᴼ ᵞᴼᵁ?

Everyone: WHITNEY IS THE HARDEST GYM LEADER Me who picked Cyndaquil: You mean Clair

Notes (for me, please ignore! Though I am about to list timestamps, so it’ll probably help you too.) 2:00 Typhlosion 6:44 Fearow 8:15 Anpharos 10:23 Heracross 12:30 Espeon 14:30 Lapras

Help, my mareep's head is bleeding by using headbutt on the tree

You are the best type of youtuber, you see your old mistakes and instead of ignoring them you fix your mistakes! Nice!

FEAROW??? I'm not putting such poverty's pokemon in my team

this is prob super helpful for new players but i do have one note: if you use discharge on ampy (or anyone) replace thunder wave with power gem/coverage move. the reason being that discharge has a high paralyze rate, meaning you wont need to use thunder wave as much especially for casual play. on the plus side if you enjoy thunder wave, upgrade to thunderbolt over discharge for the higher base damage. edit: also for espeon you could try swift instead of psybeam. while it wont get STAB it does scale off special as well as never miss damage for those fights where annoying evasion stacking happens. id also suggest rain dance on lapras over perish song for boosted surf and thunder accuracy, specifically since you arent using sunny day on typlosion.

“Poison typing is useless” -mystic before he picks a normal type

Why does everyone use lapras instead of starmie? Starmie with surf, ice beam, thunderbolt and psychic can single-handedly sweep Lance team.

Who else is playing Heartgold at the start of 2024 ? 🎉

For people who don't have time : Typholsion ( starter ) Lava plume Focus blast Solar beam Earthquake Ampharos (mareep in patch of grass under violet city ) Discharge Thunder wave Signal beam Focus blast Fearow ( found as spearow near azalea town and grass patches before union cave . Although I recommend picking up Kenya the fearow from the guy in goldenrod .) Fly Aerial ace Return U-Turn Heracross ( found by headbutting trees in ilex forest , rt. 33 , 42 , etc. You can teach your Pokemon headbutt by the help of the guy in ilex forest , or someone like seel or drowzee can learn headbutt by levelup . ) Brick break Megahorn Shadow claw / night slash Rock tomb Espeon ( evolves from eevee given by bill ) Psybeam Shadow ball Reflect Psychic Lapras ( found at the southernmost part of union cave on Fridays ) Surf Perish song Ice beam Thunder I still recommend watching the whole video of you can because he gives on more info about why these Pokemon make a good team and which trainers and gym leaders they are strong against . Hope this helped .

so glad he admitted that the OG HeartGold and SoulSilver was lazily made. how do you not finish a move set or even try to

These remastered ones are at an outstanding level of quality and are amazing. Makes it impossible to watch the old ones

Mystic: "No trade evolutions". Me, playing on emulator with randomized evolutions: Your choice.

I'll always come back to these "best teams" videos when I want to replay a game since they are really well balanced and fun. Johot is one of my favorite regions, and starting typhlosion, every run has never felt oh so satisfying, and now being a best team choice 👌. Late game I usually ran flare blitz, focus blast, shadow claw and lava plume as the move set. Man was a 1v3000 machine

we have all these fliers to show in johto(5:19) (doesn't show johto's regional bird) Noctowl: am i a joke to you

10:57 Brick Brick is my favorite move

Just now I just won the league, thanks for the movesets, they helped me a lot! This is my current team: -Typhlosion *Sunny Day *Focus Miss *Solar Beam *Lava Plume -Crobat *Poison Fang *Confuse Ray *Fly (why not) *Pluck -Steelix *Earthquake *Iron Tail *Crunch *Curse -Heracross *Demolition *Aerial Ace *Night Slash *Rock Smash (Soon it will be megahorn) -Ampharos *Discharge *Signal Beam *Thunder Wave *Focus Miss -Kingdra *Surf *Dragon Pulse *Draco Meteor *Focus Energy (He has sniper abilitie so that's fine) Now I'm going for Kanto! Good video!

Spearow can be found in so and so place Me: Just comit grand theft spearow and get kenya from a foolish man

My team up in Pokémon league Metapod lvl 40 Weedle lvl40 Abra caught using masterball lvl 40 Kakuna lvl 40 Arceus using pokeball lvl 100 Magikarp lvl 50

I started a soul silver save a few days ago and my team consists of Feraligatr Ampharos Ninetails Heracross Crobat Dragonite Yes I spent 20 minutes playing the arcade to get dratini.

I started a HeartGold playthrough, and I admittedly used some TMs from a Platinum Game that I wasn't enjoying (I'm being resourceful!). My team consists of Typhlosion, Ambipom, Scizor, Umbreon, Kingdra, and a newly added Gligar. I got the Metal Coat and the Dragon-Scale from a wild Magnemite and Horsea, Compound Eyes is utterly broken, and I love it.

I seriously think that a Slowbro or the red Gyarados will be a better option. Lapras only has a high HP stat , its Sp.Atk is just 85 while slowbro's is a solid 100 which means a powerful Psychic attack even though it has no Ice STAB. Gyarados makes his own case though with his Ice Fang and massive 125 attack.

As for the water type I feel like Quagsire is pretty underrated. The guy can take some hits and dish them out just as well. Not to mention he renders all electric attacks null and void. It along with ampharos really helped carry my team in heartgold.

My first team - Typhlosion Lapras Ampharos Espeon Dragonite Pidgeot(Kept switching between Crobat and Pidgeot)

I love how I only used 2 of these Pokemon as a kid. Replaced my Quilava with Arcanine, used Lanturn instead of Ampharos and used Mamoswine instead of Lapras. Also instead of Fearow/Crobat I used Murkow. 😂

Hey Mystic, since Fearow is the best Flyer in Johto, do you think it’s a good idea to wait until Goldenrod City to be given Kenya the Spearow as opposed to catching a Spearow at the beginning? It joins the team at LV 20, plus it’s considered an outsider, so it will Level up faster.

The only thing I’d change is putting dragonite on the team in the post game, swapping out fearow since dragonite’s move pool and stats are way better and it can also get extreme speed if you get the gift one

This team is exactly like mine except that near end game I replace my flyer with dragonite

this is one of those cases in which having one type is actually a good thing, all you need to do is have a typhlosion w/ solar beam and then your good, but also get sunny day, just so that you attack the first, not second, turn.

"Lapras isn't drained with attacks that use its worse attack stat" Lapras - 85 SpA / 85 Atk Feraligatr - 79 SpA / 105 Atk Me: ...

One problem with Typhlosion Coverage atacks with 2 turns.

Mystic: Lists off his picks for the best HGSS Team Literally all of Erika's team like tenfold: *Chuckles; I'm in danger!*

Thanks this helped me a lot in my Pokemon soulsilver playthrough

What moveset should I use on Skarmory if I wanna swap it for Fearow on this team ? Also, which other version exclusives are there ?

This video inspired me to start a fresh playthrough on my HeartGold version. Thank you!

8:19 You don't know how much this sentence make's me happy

When he shows haracoss's moves, he said brick brick

Have never used a lapras but since it has thunder, wouldn't it be better to ditch perish song for rain, to get 100% accuracy every time? Or am I dumb dumb and perish song is crazy good?

heracross is 4× weak to flying so watch out because wills 2nd xatu has aerial ace And reds charazard but be careful

Something that needs to be said about Typhlosion in HGSS is the fact that as a Quilava, it can get Fire Blast before the third gym (!!!), by purchasing the TM at the Goldenrod Department Store. A 120BP+STAB early-game nuke (that also has fairly good accuracy at 85%) like that cannot be underestimated in any HGSS playthrough. Given Fire Blast's low PP, you will still need Ember or Flame Wheel on your moveset as your general-use STAB attack until you get Lava Plume, but Fire Blast can be used when you really need that KO.

Me who left my dragonair at daycare and forgot is now level 66 😂

I accidentally used cut on the Typhlosion so which 3 moves will be great on him?? Or should I breed new Cyndquil

No one: Not a single soul: Mystic every video: WE GOT SHIRTS ON SALE GUYS Edit:Thx for likes also wasn’t taking a shot at Mystic just making a joke

When I first played heart gold, my friend who had already beaten the game made me choose Chikorita and promised to trade me a Cyndaquill for it, when I got the Cyndaquill it was a level 1 that he just hatched and it knew Flamethrower and cut before I even did the first gym, just thought I would share the story of Arthur the Typhlosion

i need help... ive lost my typhlosion and chosen my arcanine to substitute it. what moveset would closely match the one that you have given typhlosion in this video?

That pic of the 3 Legendary Hounds is frekking epic my dude.🤘🤬🤘

Just out of curiosity, will you do HG/SS Best Teams for the other two starters? Yeah, the physical/special split does hurt Feraligatr some, but it still has great physical coverage moves. Besides, there are plenty of other options for Surfers. Edit: And now, over a year later, you have. Thanks! 😁

-Lists Flying type Pokemon -Doesn’t mention Pidgeot or Noctowl

I've loved Typhlosion ever since Silver. I remember teaching it Thunderpunch via tm and being so thrilled that it could beat water types now. Idk if it kept that in HGSS, I need to play them still.

Honestly, I watched his videos 3 straight starting from Kanto which is R & G game. Second is Sinnoh which is P, D, & Pt and lastly is this HG+SS. On that video he always mentioned the move return, which I really prefer a Hyperbeam. *Return* made me comeback 3x, maybe that's why he love it.

Well you see, my original team was Lugia Ho-oh Moltres Zapdos Articuno Mewtwo

I am just about to replay HG SS, and this video really helped out! Thanks!

So wholesome to see so many people (including me) play this game to this day!

I can’t decide between cyndaquil or totodile for my 2nd play through, used cyndaquil for my first one emulator, any advice ?

Now I know why I lost to lance 20 times the first time i played this

I would pop lanturn in there as an option if you want to switch things up. Thing is slept on and amazing.

Quick question, what move should I use instead of psybeam on Espeon? I have never had problems with moves that have 10 pp, especially not if they get a pp up so psybeam just seems like a waste to me

This may be a dumb question but what do we do with all the hm’s we learn to get through the game????

I used Feraligatr, Noctowl, Mamoswine, Tangrowth, Espeon, and Dragonite. I feel like people overlook new evolutions to pokemon and I feel like mamoswine and tangrowth are extremely good

soul silver was my introduction to the pokemon series

You are excluding the pokemon that can evolve on trades, and the exclusives for SS. When using the trades and exclusive, would you choose for skarmy instead of fearow and alakazam instead of espeon?

what about HM Moves? which move to teach to which pokemon?

As much as I love Heracross, I don't think that he's really that good pick in the 2nd Gen Pokemon games tbh. Sure, he's very strong, but he learns Megahorn at the level 55(!!!) which is almost near the end of the game (and I'm talking about the Kanto region here), making his bug type in fact pretty useless for the entire campaign. Another problem I have with Heracross is that while his fighting type comes in handy, and boosts his fighting type moves, it also leaves him more vulnerable to psychic attacks, so it's in fact a double edged sword. In my opinion, Pinsir is much better choice than Heracross, and it's in fact probably the best bug type to pick in the HG/SS games. First of all, you can catch him very early in the game, right before the 3rd gym in the Bug Catching Contest. Second of all, he will prove to be a valuable addition to your team, just right after catching him. Pinsir is a pure bug type, but he learns a lot of good fighting type moves early on such as Revenge at level 18, Brick Break at level 21 and Vital Throw at level 25, making Whitney's gym a cakewalk, and leaving her Miltank helpless (be aware of Rollout though). He also learns a powerful bug type move X-Scissor at level 30, which is not that late to be honest. Later on, he naturally learns Swords Dance at level 38, which makes him an extremely effective and terrifying physical sweeper. On top of that, add a very high attack and defense stat, great speed, two nice abilities in form of Hyper Cutter and Mold Breaker, and a great TM compatibility (Stone Edge and Earthquake can help him counter the Flying and Fire types respectively) and you will have one of the best Pokemon to pick to your team in the game. Seriously, I can't believe how underrated and overlooked this thing is. When you're looking for a good bug type to add to your team pick Pinsir. I can assure you that you won't be disappointed :) Another good and overlooked pick is Steelix. You can catch him just right after beating the 6th gym, in the Cliff Cave, on the road to Safari Zone, right behind the Cianwood City. His encounter rate is actually very low (2%), but you can easily solve that, by using repels, and putting a 23 level Pokemon in front of your party. Just prepare a lot of ultra balls because this thing is a pain to catch. Heavy balls will be an invaluable help, making the catch much easier. Steelix is a FANTASTIC physical wall thanks to his insane defense, which makes him a perfect tank and a great addition to your team, if you need one. His attack stat is also quite decent, so he can also hit the other things hard. Steelix is especially a fantastic counter against the dragons, thanks to his steel type. If you have some heart scales to spare, you can also teach Steelix all of the elemental fangs in one of the houses in the Blackthorn City. In other words, Steelix may be also a great choice for your team as well.

I dunno why, but when I watch one of these videos I feel like my team is awful

Quick question, what site are all the trainer info images on?

Im playing soulsilver so what exclusive pokemons can i add to the team

My Pokémon HeartGold Team Totodile Zubat Mareep I’m still at Bell Tower

For real my team was mostly Ho-oh, Lapras, Alakazam, Heracross, Steelix and Ampharos and I can't say how many times I was saved by Ampharos. Ampharos was unexpectedly the true hero my whole playthrough, what a lad.

Have you ever done a video for best Johto team with only Gen 2 Pokemon? I would love to hear your recommendations if I ever have the chance to play HeartGold.

Always come to your channel for playthrough teams. Gave my Shiny Ampharos Power Gem instead of Thunder Wave in the end for more coverage just in case.

I was thinking about sunny day and then you said “TOO BAD” lol

this team only has one flaw. you need rock climb to get up to where Red is, so someone has to have that move? Who would you pick for that?

Lapras is so good in hgss, it’s over leveled in my team now.

Do i have to use the evee i get from bill? Or can i take a evee from the Casino too?(sorry for that Bad english, i am German)

Gotta do that finally: thx for doing these videos, i enjoy them a ton.... I hope you keep up the good work

Dammit Notifications you betrayed me! 😭😭😭 Thanks for the newest Team vids Most Mystic of Umbreon 💙=^_^=💙

And then there’s me who spends 10 hours getting a lvl 61 adamant dragon claw, dragon dance, extremespeed, thunder wave Dragonite after grueling training and 20 resets for adamant nature

lapras is it still available on friday if i play soulsilver on emulator???

Playing this game right now,I need this thanks mystic🤩

I just recently watched a few of these videos and I'm not gonna lie the disclaimer thing at the beginning was the reason I subscribed. You're a genuinely good youtuber man.

My team is Feraligatr, Ampharos, Crobat, Heracross and Donphan. For my last team member I was thinking of getting a dark type that can beat ice and I came up with two choices, Houndoom and Tyranitar. Who do you think I should use? (Btw I am not in post game)

I know this is a bit late but can’t you get a shiny stone before postgame? I also don’t know if this is version exclusive to ss but I saw a video where u get rock climb from oak and you use it at the side of national park to get the shiny stone

This is an interesting team, but there is a flaw. In order to reach Red you have to use Waterfall, Strength and Rock Climb

Exeggutor may also be a good Psychic type option if Happiness grinding isn't something you want to do.

Now I have a question, see I’m doing a nuzlock where one rule is that I can only use the first Pokémon I catch/get so by that rule lapras isn’t an option for me so who should I get instead

What website do you use to pull up gym leaders Pokemon and moves ?

Yeah honestly I wish more RU-vidrs did stuff like this and actually admit their mistakes (unlike Verlisify who instead just blames other people)
