16:40 As someone who plays the tcg, this card is so strong people will run lightning energy in decks with no other lightning attackers just for the Amp attack. It may not hit for huge numbers, but being able to cut off the enemy's support while keeping the prizes even cannot be understated (for those who don't play the tcg, the main win condition is taking 6 prizes, and a lot of decks use 1 prize pokemon to not only support and keep the deck functioning, but also to make so the opponent falls behind on the prize trade and has to take 4 knockouts instead of taking 3 2 prize pokemon if they go out of their way and force the support into the active, and iron hands can keep you on a 3 knockout game while crippling their deck)

@IndianDrummer17 16 дней назад

I was just about to say this! Iron hands is a complete menace in the TCG exclusively for that attack lol

@soldierstride554 15 дней назад

I don't play the TCG so I may be completely wrong here, but your explanation means that Iron Hands is useful in a team setting. But that doesn't apply in a battle royale.

@hershy1594 15 дней назад

@soldierstride554 Sure, but that's true about every finalist in this video, and less true for hands. Bundle forces them out of the active and discards itself, only good if they have a bad set-up. Mane is only good against decks that rely on their active's ability (very niche) and is useless against everything else. Scream tail is only good on an archetype that's not top tier anymore. Miraidon does create its own archetype but is usually not the main attacker. Hands can work in Miraidon, Chien Pao, Lugia, lost zone, and a lot of other decks as a very threatening attacker. The paradox trio are the only ones that work as the main hard-hitting attackers, and gouging fire is the only one that can fit in a fire deck as a one of attacker, meaning you have to build your deck around the other two (wake needs bonnet+booster, bolt needs ogerpon), which limits creativity.

Mane destroys him in vgc and singles, screams pokedex entry is just too OP, and miraidon is miraidon. Bundle is better in singles, but hands has the better card and is a world champ. Even if it didn't change, calling his card "not particularly noteworthy" just got me riled up. And if I needed to edit the video, maybe just him crushing Bonnet because he eats them for breakfast in the tcg

Iron Valiant’s death feels unfair. It’s been OU since release and I don’t get why it loses to a freaking PU comic relief mon. Lore-wise, it “cuts down foes mercilessly”, but in the video it just. Holds and stares at Scream Tail for ten seconds? It’s the equivalent of Roaring Moon in terms of base stats, and both of them are the AI professors’ aces in respective games. It should’ve had at least one kill at least.

@BAMFshee 18 дней назад

More than anything else, I think Flutter Mane's typing is what makes it deserve the win. Being immune to Dragon- and Fighting-type attacks while having STAB against Dragon- and Psychic-types is a massive advantage when most of the heavy-hitters among the Paradox Pokemon are some combination of those three types (including both of the Box Legendaries, and especially Koraidon). Meanwhile, the only opponents who could prey on its type weaknesses were the Steel-types (as Flutter Mane is the only Ghost Paradox): Iron Treads (who went out early) and Iron Crown (who was never going to win the Battle Royale on its own). When almost every other Paradox Pokemon's typing could theoretically be kept in check by others, the one-two punch of having easily the best defensive typing and one of the best offensive typings in this scenario is something that would be hard to top. Sure, you *could* make the argument that, because the future Paradox Pokemon are robots, Fairy-types should have "logically" been weak to any of them, but gameplay-wise? Flutter Mane was always going to be the one to beat.

@sinteleon 18 дней назад

While miraidon technically isn't super effective against fluttermane, it's sheer power makes it basically on nearly even ground, since even neutral hits would do massive damage; None of the paradox mons are immune to both electric and dragon. Though fluttermane still beats it by it's protosynthesis being able to make it faster even if they technically have the same base speed. Competitive-wise it was always going to come down to these two, but fluttermane is just more flexible; While fluttermane isn't doing as well competitively currently, part of the reason is because every team has to be able to counter fluttermane.

As glad as I am that the future Paradoxes were given a proper showcase (things like Iron Moth's missile legs, Bundle's snow machine and Jugulis' drone heads which go largely unnoticed got the spotlight here), I feel there could have been a bit more added to them. Iron Hands could have used its defibrillator hands (seen during Thunderbolt) to revive a fainted participant, Moth could've shot some concentrated attacks after assembling its wings into a sun (seen during a few of its special moves including the Beams), Valiant could've tried long-range options against Scream Tail with the gun on its chest spike before going physical, Treads could've rolled around at the speed of sound which is the whole point of its design. Not surprised Flutter Mane won though, that thing is a menace.

Iron Moth being able to launch its "feet" like bullets, Iron Jugulis launching its smaller heads as projectiles, Sandy Shocks having that kind of insane magnetic power, even the joke about Iron Hands bulldozing through walls. The game info is almost nonexistent, and everything that IS given to us comes from a dubious narrator.

@@drawingdragon The Iron Moth legs and Iron Jugulis head things are actually present ingame as their second physical attack animations, they're just very obscure to get since the former isn't played by any of Moth's moves and the latter is only played by Dragon Tail.
