Pokémon Abilities that NEED to be fixed 

Corrosion should be just a poison type scrappy against steel types along with being able to poison them

With Truant, have the mon fall asleep after using their move and through next turn. Then they wake up on the following turn and attack and repeat. The intermittent sleep status could protect them from other status conditions while still keeping the idea intact EDIT: This also allows them to use Snore and Sleep Talk, kinda keep with your "lazy move" idea

Not sure if Truant belongs on this list in any capacity. Back in 3rd gen it definitely was an absolutely necessary nerf to Slaking, not sure how the standings are in the updated meta. (Edit: You addressed that.) Never understood Slow Start on Regigigas though. Like, that thing is not just a Legendary, but a trio leader! It is allowed to and even should be overpowered! A great option, IMO, would be replacing (or HAing) it with a new ability called Armor Up - every turn, Regigigas' Speed would fall in exchange for a Defense buff. This may still seem like a nerf, as speed is quite significant and Regigigas has no business being able to use Trick Room, but keep in mind that it absolutely should be able to learn Gyro Ball (alongside at least one Rock, Ice, Electric and Dragon type attack each if it doesn't already). So Regigigas would progress into being able to tank hits better and better while hitting back with Gyro Ball progressively harder, and it wouldn't be too OP because Special sweepers would still be a major threat.

Truant in the mystery dungeon series has a unique effect. If you hit a pokemon with a contact move then you can get put to sleep I personally think it would be neat if maybe youre forced to loaf around during truant but you recover 1/6th of your hp or something

Alternative changes: Truant becomes active once every 3 turns instead of every other Turn (Turn, Turn, Truant, repeat) Defeatist: Pokemon Speed, Attack, and Special Attack get Halved at 25% HP rather than 50%…

I think truant is based on me how did they knew im definitely throwing my switch now THOSE GF RATS

Palafin's Zero to Hero is interesting because while it's broken in singles, it's pretty much absent from VGC. Your nerf would quite possibly hurt an underused Pokemon in VGC... Or maybe not so much, since people don't switch nearly as much in doubles, so it might still be okay.

yk what else should be buffed? MattBud's subscriber count!

3:07 To be fair, 2 of those (Burn and Paralysis) are a major problem in competitive, to the point where people use Toxic Orbs (which are usually a major HP loss) just to prevent them. Edit (3:27): Wait, it doesn't already do that??? What were they thinking???

Fix emergency exit by giving the player the option to keep golisopod in or switch it out when golisopod reaches half hp. This fits with the name implication of "emergency exit" as it is strategic. Or another idea is that golisopod will only be forced out if the move that put it below half hp was a super effective move. This would be less of a detriment while bot making golisopod broken.

Slaking is interesting. Power creep made his power even less worth the trade off as time went on. What if Truant now gave every attacking move Gigaton Hammer's drawback where he can't use an attacking move twice in a row? Granted that might allow him to become too strong, since he does get good setup moves to work with and can play around protect now.

Just make Truant ignore protect :) we already have a bear running around doing it

Scrappy also got modified to block Intimidate too

Koffing and Galarian Weezing with Neutralizing Gas: "Are we jokes to you?"

That gargantuan laughing 🤣

The other option can be the Pokémon with truant gets a dmg cut protection on the slacking turn so it takes less dmg.

Maybe truant could heal every other turn idk

What if they let Slaking hit through protect on the turns it can attack?

You just gained a sub

You forgot to balance Unseen Fist and buff Iron Fist Unseen Fist needs to deal less damage when the opponent uses Protect (similar to that of against Z-Moves and Max moves), whiling Iron Fiat needs to deal as much more damage as 1.3x like Tough Claws and Sheer Force if not 1.5x like Strong Jaw, Mega Launcher, Sharpness, Adaptability, Technician, and Tinted Lens Iron Fist really looks tame and weak compared to the other damage-boosting abilities. The only problem is Conkeldurr (the strongest one) would go even crazier in VGC trick room teams and Melmetal (the 2nd strongest one, even if slightly) would be even more absurd with a stronger Iron Fist than it already is.

To be fair Slaking is still absolutely broken in non competetive Ruby Saphire and Emerald, great for Nuzlocke runs

Regigas’ slow start is a crime against humanity. At the very least let the turns count even after switching out, but a better change could be two turns of only speed halved

Hustle needs a tweak as it tends to make moves worse

Truant should buff Slaking's Defense while loafing around (like in that clip you showed where Hawlucha, a Fighting Type, did nothing to it)

Just watched quite a few of your videos and i gotta say you deserve way more subs and views. You earned a sub from me sir.

Wellllp its actually pretty simple

Maybe give parental bond to more Pokémon or a ability that works just like it however the catch is each attack be it a status move a attacking move or anything that ends up being used twice also costs twice the pp with stat boosting moves like power up punch only boosting the stat on the 1st hit not the second. And if faced with a foe with the abilty pressure 4 pp would be used instead of 2 almost like being affected by spite giving a semi underwhelming ability such as pressure a strong counter to a potentialy overwhelming ability that could then be allowed to be given to more Pokémon due to the shear number of Pokémon with pressure out there that are good.

I like the suggestion for truant. Personally I would balance defeatist by having it act as a +1 to every stat before you reach half hp, then when it gives you -2 it ends up being a net -1 in every stat. This would still make the pokemon usable. I don't even think Archeops is good enough to have that much of a nerf but maybe if they lowered the base stats for attacking slightly and increased defensive stats by that amount, it could prevent this kind of change from being overpowered like guerilla tactics.

Iron Fist

Do Pokémon that need to be fixed next. They gave them new significant moves (Torterra, Empoleon, Floatzel, Scizor, Kommo-o, Drednaw, Beartic, Ceruledge, and some others), new abilities post gen 5 (Scolipede, Torkoal, Pelipper, Gigalith, Gallade, Empoleon, Shiftry), and even increased stats (Clefable, Pelipper, Scolipede, Krookodile, Beartic, Mantine, Masquerain). Anything but added/changed typings and stat spread overhauls from scratch are on the table under GameFreak’s book. Pokémon that need to be fixed: -Meganium: Replace Leaf Guard (as is) with Flower Veil or Triage, also give it Calm Mind, Earth Power, Dazzling Gleam, Draining Kiss, Wish, and Pollen Puff -Sceptile: either give it a actual special movepool or just swap it’s Atk/Sp. Atk stats -Flygon: Increase it’s Sp. Atk (80 > 100), give it Sand Rush and Tinted Lens, maybe give it Quiver Dance too -Electivire and Magmortar: Give them Iron Fist and Mega Launcher respectively or give them both Sheer Force; also expand their movepools a bit like Volt Tackle, Close Combat, Drain Punch, Bulk Up, and Knock Off for the former, Aura Sphere, Dark Pulse, Dragon Pulse, and Earth Power for the latter -Scrafty: give it STABS Sucker Punch and Mach Punch, as well as Gunk Shot and increase either it’s HP (65 > 75) or Atk (90 > 100) -Golurk: Increase it’s HP, Def, and Sp. Def all by 10 points each (89/80/80 > 99/90/90), also give it Headlong Rush for a bonus

I recommend doing a video where you fix the rest of the abilities that have no competitive uses

I think Truant should allow the Pokemon to act on the Truant turn but with lowered attack and speed stats. Like Slow Start but only on the Truant turns.

Healer needs to be fixed. Mega Audino loses Regenerator for it, despite Healer being almost worthless in double battles and COMPLETELY worthless in single battles. Turn Healer into being Hydration without weather. Mega Audino with Rest that wakes up at the end of the first turn would be a real threat instead of the lower tier Mega it is now.

Slow start needs to be reduced to 3 turns overall, keep the progress even if it switches. Truant needs to only proc if you use an attacking move, that way slaking could play around protect and be viable. Those are the blatant bad abilities of course, they need to be buffed a bit.

Here is how i would fix Slaking/Truant: 1. Truant is now only active when above 50% HP. Once below, i think it would be quite angered, so Truant would stop. 2. Speed is halfed when above 50% HP, but at the same time it has a boost for both defenses. Once below 50%, Speed is at 100% as well as the Defense buffs being gone. 3. Slaking can use "lazy" moves during Truant turns. I think the Speed being halfed while its above 50% HP should atleast balance out the other buffs it gets. It would be a cool gimmik to play with.

This was a really interesting video. Subscribed 🫡
