How To BUFF Every Regional Bird In Gen 9 

What is talonflame's buff? You actually didnt explain it

Honestly Gale Wings could go back to the way it was. There's so many more ways to stop priority attacks now that priority brave birds wouldn't be any more of an issue with Indeedee, Farigiraf, and upper hand.

For Pidgeot, give it Sing and bring back its Mega. It's a bird after all.

For Toucannon, I'd say to instead go the opposite and actually take 30 points from its Speed to put into its HP. Then add 10 points into each defense stat to make it more of a tanky mon. Keep Beak Blast as it is now, but add some sort of secondary effect when it lands, something like a 20% chance to lower Defense or something. The fact that none of Toucannon's Abilities interact with its signature move at all, when 2/3 of them interact solely with moves, is weird, and doing this would keep Beak Blast's unique mechanics while also giving Toucannon access to a 130 bp spammable Flying type move via Sheer Force boosted Beak Blast. Combined with its lowered Speed, this allows for Trick Room shenanigans, where you have to either focus it down before it gets off fast Bullet Seeds or Rock Blasts or completely avoid touching it with contact moves else risk getting the Beak Blast burn. I'd keep it as a Normal/Flying, but in return give it access to moves like Body Slam at the very least so it can gain another Sheer Force boosted STAB. This way, both Sheer Force sets and Skill Link sets can both pose a threat to opponents in their own way, instead of Sheer Force being a more gimmicky option with only Gunk Shot and Throat Chop (you'll run Knock Off anyways) being boosted on the physical side.

I’ve never really understand the talonflame nerf. I mean, even in gen 6, Talonflame was starting to lose traction near the end.

do NOT buff corviknight

Kilowattrel is really only needs the base ten in its defenses and an actually good flying type stab move, or they could make windpower buff hurricanes accuracy instead of buffing it's already good electric type moves

Hey, singles player here. I know you're vgc focused but, let's not buff corviknight's defenses

I think Swellow should also learn Upper Hand and Vaccuum Wave

In a future buffing video please give Tinkaton an actual attack stat. Even 90-95 is fine. And maybe a good ability like inner focus.

5:15 hehe bug type bullet seed while saying grass type.

Honestly a buffing restricted Pokémon video might be a fun idea. Maybe changing some of these Pokémon's abilities from Pressure and swapping some stats around. Like Mewtwo has no reason for a base 100 attack stat that it will never use. Maybe crank it down to 60 and put 25 in speed and 15 in special attack.

I miss the format where the og base stats were on screen and then you would update them with the buffs

Personally, I want to improve Talonflame's Atk and Sp.Atk stat by 30 points and bring back old Gale Wings. I know this will make it a little OP but since Farigiraf and Indeedee exist so it's fine and I am going to add 20 points to Corviknight Atk stat(I will still keep the idea of adding 15 points to its Sp.Def from yours) to make it both bulky and hit hard

Honestly I'd give them all unique moves to use Pigey hurricane. Hoothoot psychic ghost moves. Swellow leaf blade. Staraptor got it right with close combat. It would give them all a unique feeling and not just the early bird type

Pidegot: Technician/Aerialate + Extremespeed/Dual Wingbeat. More thematic with Pokedex entries, a small shout out to Falkners strategy in the anime, different to the Mega, and uses its better attack stat. Honestly I just like the -ate abilities 😅

I feel like a better unfezant buff would be to make the males ground/flying and make it a special attacker and keep the female typing but make them physical. Just needs to have at least 100 speed both and 120 atk. Give the male unfezant the ability dazzling (its trying to impress females on the ground) New moves: earth power/scorching sands/mud shot/feint/quick guard New moves female: Everything you listed New ability female: simple or wind rider. (simple cause its a normal type or wind rider cause females are better flyers than the males) Talonflame balance: gale wings stops working at half health instead Toucannon: just make it pure flying and give it more bulk.

Not that i think it is an issue it is crazy hearing Pidgeot getting the yelling moves. It isnt a majorly loud mon but i mean it could be. Special attack fits more post mega too.

swellow getting +30 in both would make it way too op ingame as a two stage especially, think that was a really bad suggestion tbh

New editor is doing a great job and I love this concept of videos! The killowatrel buffs you had in mind is something I never considered. Wish they were real haha

Do these videos also help for singles? I love both VGC and Singles.

Hey what about giving toucannon analytic? Gives beak blast a nice buff a helps it with its poor speed.

Buff the rodent Pokémon

Pidgeotte is the coolest looking regional bird crazy how he’s not competitive

Buffing early regional bug types would be cool. Beedril, Vivillion, Leavanny, etc. :)

Honestly Kilowattrel just needed something extra because its extremely limited by its move pool, if anything, dark pulse maybe would of saved it some

Here's an idea, give corviknights mirror armor ability the power to also deflect status conditions. Make incineroar regret entering the field against this metal bird.

Staraptor needs the no recoil ability. That way he can click brave bird, takedown, or double edge and stay at full HP

I know they were never legal in vgc but I'd love a video where you buff mew, celebi, jirachi, manaphy and victini. I think your style of redistributing stats before increasing them us perfect for these guys.

Love it when youtube recommend me awesome content and channels like these. Instant sub after seeing what you put out. Hope to see more!

Making a buff playlist would be goated

Hey if these buffs applied to singles too does that mean Staraptor finally sees use in higher tiers?

Toucannon being grass-type would honestly be a MASSIVE nerf in any format that doesn't have Tera (probably gen 10 and other future gens).

Definitely would like to see you buff fossil Pokémon as are any of them viable in vgc outside of dracovish and as for buffing special attacking flyging types just expand aeroblast to more Pokémon its just a wind blast

Next video like this should be on early bugs (definetly need the buffs) Or fossil pokémon (I would be intressted to see what you would do there). Or atleats thats what I think

I think the only buff Corviknight needs is giving it the move Drill Run.

Buffing early game bugs Gen 1: Buterfree and Beedrill Gen 2: Ledian and Ariados Gen 3: Buterfree and Dustox Gen 4: Krikitune Gen 5: Levanny and Scolipede Gen 6: Vivillon Gen 7: Vikavolt Gen 8: Orbeetle (or Centiskorch) Gen 9: Spidops or Lokix

So... no Fearow, no Pelipper and no Squawkabilly? Unfortunate... nice video tho!

I’m more of a singles player but if we’re giving raptor the fighting type I would love if it got high jump kick. With reckless it would become an insane wallbreaker and would definitely make it rise out of the depths of PU which my boy doesn’t deserve. Not sure how good this would be in Vgc due to all the protect usage though.

Honestly they all should have had different typing each region. Pigey is fine it's the first one Hoothoot flying and ghost as it would be sick and wouldn't step on lugia Swellow replaced by wingul and a three gen line and so on. Really make them unique and people want to get them to balance put the party not just normal flying. It gets better by the gen bur hootoot and swelliw deserve a new evo to a three gen line like all yhe rest

Now do puppers and kitties

A lot of the new Pokémon really need buffs

It showed bullet seed as a bug move right after you said grass

How about the feline pokemon I think they might need some buffs

please look at the pokemon based IRL first before giving them buff 1. Pidgey based on a pigeon. it never has a loud voice in real life to justify having loud sound based moves, they do indeed have a unique voice but not loud. 2. Swellow is based on a swallow, often used as a name for sword moves due to how small and fast it was so i think their bodies cannot withstand intense fighting moves but instead giving them more speed and a lot of slashing and blade moves (night slash, leaf blade, etc) also giving them ability to easily deal critical damage is make more sense rather than giving them superpower and close combat.

I care about lore and a pokemon's behaviour way to much so I'd give defiance to pheasant seeing how it would care about it's pride. Loved the video though ❤❤

I don't think all of the should be given 535BST. That's what Starters have but they are, well, starters, designed to be unique and the cornerstone throught your adventure Lore-wise and gameplay-wise, Regional Birds are designes to be easy to obtain and train, but with a little less payout on the lategame. Specially for those with only an evolution, having a 535BST Noctowl as early as level 20 feels broken to use and play againts I think they should be arouns 500/520 and have a better stat spread

Day 1 of asking can u make a video on how to buff all route one bugs or weak early route bugs.

Sorry but how on Earth can Toucannon be a grass type? I don't agree with that at all

Bro is scared to give piggot focus blast

Yea… bringing birds base stats as strong as final starters and turning most into stronger sweepers than jolteon is not something I’d like to see

Buff the early bugs some got then lost buffs over the gens and some haven't gotten anything at all.

Bro add stat distribution image of Pokemon you are talking about. Its very difficult to understand the changes without actually looking at the stats

I never thought talonflame was that bad stealth rocks killed it and it has trash bulk and mediocre attack especially now a days where Pokémon like dondozo completely walls it

I disagree with Pidgeot getting boosted spatk instead if atk.

Give Talonflame Sacred Fire

Noctowl should lose its normal type and become flying/psychic tho

ROM Hackers: Take notes

Pidgeot could hace dazzling beacause of the Beauty that the pokedex says un some entries, and again for dex entries saying of they speed give pidgeit extreme speed And toucannon beak blast the only change was that it Will becone a pseudo follow me whit burn on contact that could help to some trickroom setters and in trickroom toucannon coube a sweeper

Male unfezant can get fairy type i guess

Birb

How to buff staraptor? Sheer force

buff the ultra beasts i beg - Guzzlord has nothing going for it other than HP there’s probably another bad one i just like guzzlord

Make windpower not be dogwater and kilowatrel leaps in viability

Buff Pokémon that lost mega evolution (Lucario) please!!

Buff the Pokémon that lost mega evolution

Why isn’t Ferrow or Peliper here?

Corviknight doesn't need buff

My opinion is to buff these birds below

You should of given the hoothoot line psychic type

Did you just include noctowl yet totally ignore fearow? shame! ok saw swellow into starraptor and i'm glad idiots like the fans dont have a say and was totally done changing the actual unique move of toucanon just to give it speed. give it bulk and keep the move and it's actualy interesting as bulky wallbreaker that ca punish physical revenge killers, you know a unique page of a book. and the buff on the OU Corvi while quite stable in OU.... ye this guy got dropped to mutch as a kid
