Magneton: The Least Interesting Pokémon in RBY?

We've gone from talking about individual types to talking about individual Pokémon, specifically a Pokémon that I thought had absolutely nothing going for it, that being Magneton!
Magneton is a seemingly incredibly basic Pokémon, with one of the most barren movepools in the game and some fairly awkward stats, but is it really as truly unremarkable as it seems at a glance?
Huge thanks to Ortheore, Pac, Plague von Karma, Sabelette, Teh, and Gangsta Spongbob for helping with research for this video, and special thanks to Plague von Karma for coming on to talk about some of Magneton's history in UU!

Kinda messed up that Magneton doesn’t learn Tri Attack in Gen 1. Like it is one of the most qualified to do so, the ones that learn it by level up are the Dodrio line (3 guys) and Porygon (mystical computer dude). Magneton is BOTH 3 dudes and a mystical computer-y fellow. Kinda criminal that so many other Pokemon learn Tri Attack by TM, yet none of them are 3 guys. They’re all fake Tri Attackers, I’ll tell you that.

When I think of uninteresting pokemon in gen 1 in terms of what they offer compared to other pokemon, Wigglytuff is unfortunately what comes to mind. Its movepool has very little over Clef; it has the same base attack; its Special and speed are worse, and despite the higher HP, it is less bulky on both sides. The only things I'm aware of that Wigglytuff has over Clefable is Disable (which is so much worse in gen 1 than in modern anyway; 55% accuracy and is random), and taking less recoil from Double Edge by virtue of its higher HP. But Wigglytuff would generally prefer Body Slam in any case, especially with Double Edge only being 100 Power. At least in Magneton's case, while it has many things holding it back, its stats for a pure electric type has some merits to it. But in Wigglytuff's case, there's a pure Normal type that fulfills almost everything it does but with better attributes. I believe Wigglytuff's main applications are just being a second but weaker Clefable.

People throw shit and make fun of me for running Weezing on a lot of my gen 1 OU teams, saying "wtf, Weezing doesn't do anything special, why are you using it?" And I simply answer "because it has a stat over 80". Look, as nice as it is to *try* and *attempt* to win battles (which really is fun), some of us just want to see a Chansey take ≈33% from a 65 base power Poison move. Magneton is in that boat, too. If you want to use it, it's not worthless, and there ain't no one stopping you.

Merry Christmas Yellow!! Glad to see a 45 minute video about RBY OU in my sub box 🥹truly a Christmas miracle

6:08 what's worse: it can't explode in gen 3, where it has massive issues of being useless after it traps skarm because it doesn't have magnezone stats.

sorry i just reached the part about TagMag and i am soooo happy to learn about a team using my favorite gen 1 pokémon (from an aesthetic perspective. i haven't really played these games or this tier at all LMAO)

@Brivalia 5 месяцев назад

Thank you Big Yellow i will start using Magneton in OU and complain on the RBY discord when some heinous individual blatantly counterteams me by bringing Rhydon and Eggy

@tobiasgund8048 5 месяцев назад

Damn, it is so hilarious that ZU might be a worse nightmare for Magneton than OU.

Ngl that thumbnail was a bit painful for me because I'm very soft on magneton~ Yay though I'm so glad to hear about its niche little use cases in RBY competitive! I have ran solo runs of Magneton in the same style of JRose in Yellow and really enjoyed it! Its an electric type that doesnt at all struggle with Brock thanks to Sonic Boom and its physical bulk helps out a ton against the Champion and Giovanni 3. If only this thing learnt Psychic though like Electabuzz, I'd predict that it'd be sub 50 minutes at 4x speed if it did and it seems like Magneton would make great use out of it in Comp too c: Also yes, it is an absolute demon as an oppodent in Yellow Solo Runs, depending on the mon you run it could be one of the hardest mons in the playthrough and it consistantly atleast causes problems against a lot of mons Thank you for the excellent video Yellow!

@BigYellowSilly 5 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed, admittedly this makes me want to try a solo run now, it honestly sounds pretty fun

The way you talk about Magneton and RBY and the end is beautiful. But honestly, nothing is more charming than the characterization you give all these Pokemon through the sprite edits and such!

I feel like I've mentioned this before, but I love the little sprite edits you do, it adds so much character to this

Its nice that in the middle of all the SPL and BO1 change controversy on Smogon, there's still wholesome vibes and genuine love for RBY. Merry Christmas Big Yellow :)

RBY feels more like a competitive Game Boy RPG rather than a competitive Pokemon game and I love it

@devdog7409 5 месяцев назад

I appreciate their consideration of everyone before exploding. It’s nice that they don’t go the weezing and exeggutor route and pull everyone into their nonsense.

Gotta love the little edits to Magneton sprites and also just how good of a job Yellow did animating it. And likewise, Plague von Karma doing guest appearances on other RBY videos outside her channel. That is pretty cool.

@franslair2199 5 месяцев назад

this is actually kind of insane, I thought there's no way it* could be magneton because it's such a nothing pokemon in rby. I guess this is a "least interesting number" paradox * A few days ago Yellow said a 40 minute video on one pokemon in RBY is coming out, i was assuming it's Golbat or Eggy because there's no way it's Magneton

@Skullhawk13 5 месяцев назад

The “least interesting number” paradox is resolved by remembering all numbers are boring

@shavierlastname 5 месяцев назад

hey I wanted to tell you that as a young trans kid that's into competitive pokemon and melee you're kind of an inspiration to me. I don't know maybe that's not the right word but basically watching your videos and seeing you it feels like I can look how I want to look and be who I want to be. Thank you

@beautifulnova6088 5 месяцев назад

It certainly has been a joy and an inspiration just watching Big Yellow be themselves.

@MenwithHill 5 месяцев назад

I mean it's true, but you shouldn't say it. Also your makeup looks powerful in this, your eyes are popping big time.

@palestjade 5 месяцев назад

i think this is your best video yet objectively all of the bits are on point and all of the editing is fantastic (and your lighting actually looks really good now) keep slaying

@acactusnamedjosh708 18 дней назад

"Can't do anything other than exist" just when you said that, a cave noise happened while I was playing minecraft and i thought it was part of the vid which would've been like s tier editing

@hankboog462 5 месяцев назад

Same. Their editing gives their videos a lot of character and it just gets better and better

@vileSeraphim 5 месяцев назад

i have nothing to add to this conversation but magneton is my favorite gen 1 pokemon so seeing a dedicated video to it this morning is a very nice sight (especially one with such entertaining editing)

@user-qy3bk1uy2l 5 месяцев назад

the little sprites that are edited to display a wider range of emotions are so cute i think... a little extra step to make your videos feel that much more alive :)

@RyanWilson346 5 месяцев назад

I would honestly love more of these deep insights and histories into the “dex filler” rby Pokémon to see if there’s some hidden cooking going on, like Seadra, Seaking or Fearow.

@magnos_ssbm 5 месяцев назад

This might just be, your absolutely most well done video ever, actually, no, it's something more than that, that's one of the most complete and well made pokemon videos i've ever seen, and it's a fucking 45 minute video about a specific pokemon that no one cared about LMFAO. Thhe magnezone line is my favorite evolution line in the series, so getting this video after christmas is something else man, thank you for all your dedication and hard work to pull out stuff like this, you have a bright future in the platform!
