His design is just a little too boring imo. Looks exactly like a real toucan without any changes. Corvinight and talonflame are peak design imo. You can tell what bird they’re inspired by while having a couple of touch ups to punch them up. Corvinight is my goat
I’ve played both diamond & platinum and I must say Staraptor is & has been my favorite regional bird corviknight is acceptable as well though but I love the 4th gen bird any day of the week.
I’m happy staraptor got some love he’s way too underrated. One of the only regional birds that can actually carry their weight without needing a different typing! Lil sad that toucannon was so low cause it’s a beast too but you made up for it with staraptor being number 1
Unfezant is underrated. Remember in Kalos league final Alain's Unfezant draws the match with Ash's strongest regional bird --> Talonflame which goes toe to toe with Moltress.
Toucannon is often forgotten because it was in the region where people didn't need HM Fly anymore cuz of the introduction of pager and most people didn't want to catch a bird Pokemon and instead wanted to fill that spot for a Pokemon with a better typing
@thatboyminus I like their designs and how they broke the normal-flying rep for the regional birds (which could also make them more viable for battle). They just seem cooler to me is all.
I never understand how people think unfezant is more bland than swellow . Or i never understand how swellow isnt bpand in general. But hey nostalgia do be rocking ig
@@eljordinio7647 but Unfezant gave other great moves like Return,U turn; Quick Attack and also incredible Faced when it was influenced for state like burn toxic or Paralized
@@ernestocervone4056 return is only worthwhile when U get mad friendship up and that's not something U can just cheese, especially if your unfezant loses a lot Quick attack is priority but also weak, and U turn isn't even stab. Aside from being able to switch out at will, ur only really going to get use of it on a dark or psychic type
@neilbryanbucsit197 atleast noctowl has a decent moveset and make use of it decent special attack unlike unfezant with its good physical attack but lack of good physical attacks
When it comes to regional birds I try to narrow down the best based on a few things: A fierce and strong bird with a predator lifestyle: that eliminates unfezant and toucannon. Having 3 stage evolution so it evolves earlier, and gains higher stats: that eliminates Noctowl and swellow Being a normal type to keep representing real life animals, like how regional rodents remain having normal type making them not seem super natural: that eliminates talonflame and corviknight That leaves pidgeot and Staraptor, not sure who would be my final choice between those two.
Pigeot was ass until the physical/special split cuz it’s mostly a special attacker. Noctowl is defensive with a cool move set. Swellow is much too high.
Unfezent id not bad either it had a base stat total of 488 which is actually better than toucannon not negating the fact that toucannon isn’t a bad Pokémon because bullet seed with skill link well well well your in for a beating
My list from worst to best: 9-Swellow 8-Unfezant 7-Pidgeot 6-Noctowl 5-Toucannon 4-Kilowattrel 3-Talonflame 2-Staraptor(used to be 1. Sorry, Staraptor) 1-Corviknight
I disagree with this so much I'm making my own ranking 9th: Swellow. I keep forgetting this Pokémon exists 8th: Undezant. The only thing it's got going is the looks which I think are cool 7th: Staraptor. While it is good in battle, I think this Pokémon is woefully overrated in design 6th: Kilowattrel. Looks good and has good typing but is a bit lackluster in battle 5th: Noctowl. The fact that this was never made psychic/flying is crazy, but definitely helps it when dealing with ghost types 4th: pidgeot. It's always a reliable Pokémon for your team and its mega is nice 3rd: Talonflame. Very powerful, looks badass. Whats more do you need 2nd: Corviknight. The only good tank on this list 1st: Toucannon. With a top 10 shiny of ALL Pokémon, good stats and a clutch signature move, I'm amazed that this Pokémon is as underappreciated as it is. Genuinely one of the coolest Pokémon that nobody talks about. This concludes my list, make sure to like subscribe and rate my comment 5 stars ok bye
Toucannon is not forgettable, this is where they finally went a different direction from common basic worthless bird, I don't even understand why staraptor is so popular, no offense but it just feels like another bird
Unfezant has the best design and my favourite 1.Unfezant 2.Talonflame 3.Staraptor 4.Pidgeot 5. Corvinight 6. Noctowl 7.Kilowattrel 8. Swellow 9.Toucannon
My ranking of the regional birds (side note, i dint dislike any of them but i do like dome more than others) Least favorite to favorite Noctowl, Toucannon, Unfezant, Killawatral, Swellow, Pidgeott, Corviknight, Talonflame, Staraptor
bro put swellow over toucannon, blinded by nostalgia, toucannon is so much better abilities and stats swellow is useless without guts and even then it's the text book definition of a glass cannon. toucannon has both skill link and sheer force both abilities are viable and can make your opponents have to second guess what they're gonna do if they don't know the stat as for swellow you gonna run double edge scrappy? quick attack scrappy? with that 85 attack stat haha yeah no.
Imo 1st. Talonflame (not only is it in my top 10 favorite pokemon based on sheer design alone, it literally is the best cheat code for fan games, gale wings tailwind and acrobatics is cheap). 2nd. Corviknight (one of the very best gen 8 designs from a gen that had so much mediocrity, great design, and great stats, great typing). 3rd. Swellow (unpopular pick, i know, but i have used it in every single pokemon emerald playthrough and it hard carries every single time). 4th. Pidgeot (its mega evolution is why its so high up). 5th. Staraptor (good, but dont understand the hype). 6th. Kilowattrel (i tried to like this thing, but its design is too goofy, electric flying type bird sounds badass in concept but gamefreak refuses to give us a cool looking one, electric type as a whole feels like wasted potential, if its designed well, it has shit stats or, if it has good stats, it has mediocre design). 7. Noctowl (i like the design, its just that it like Killowattrel feels like its missing something). 8. Toucannon (i feel nothing towards this thing, i forget it exist all the time). 9. Shitfezant (I have used this thing, it sucks, its ugly, especially the female version, and braviery is objectively cooler).
