Psychic Type Pokémon: Then vs Now 

PERFECT IDEA!

Ok, that's a genius idea.

Love the idea!

Pretty good idea

You when you came up with this idea: People describe me as, incredibly talented.

YES

I cant wait to see Weavile in action, so I kinda chose Dark Next.

Hail yeah

Yes

Agree

Im pretty sure dark is next. They did ghost, then fighting, then psychic. Obvious that dark is next

dark type went from: non existent to: grunty boi steals your personal information!

Also all the types he's covered are either ones who started off borderline non existent or flat out non existent or had a wild ride of buffs nerfs and overall quality

@@staticflowzz Didn’t grunty boi first appear in Then Vs Now?

pog

so typeless meaning the ??? type that curse had i'm guessing. someone should make a vid on it.

Interesting! Jirachi's Doom Desire was also typeless, right? I wonder why they did that.

In case people don't get it - "before the special split" means it raised the special stat. Which was *both* the special attack and special defense, so amnesia in gen 1 was a *4 stat boost* and one of them basically made your pokémon invincible, especially if it was either Esper or it had Recovery. *sigh* god Espers were fucking broken gen 1 lol.

@@youtube-kit9450 esper???? idiot the title pf the vid mentions psychic type, AND mikey mentions psychic type AS THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE VIDEO

Exactly. The introduction of pursuit ( a 40 BP DARK move that doubles in power when the Target switches) was Also a big hit 4 ghosts and psychics alike. Being weak to u -turn does not help either

Also on a side note generation 5 introduced a lot of Dark, Psychic and Bug types almost all being amazing

And accidentally made Drapion and Skuntank viable (although Bisharp is really a better option for Psychic/Fairy, in particular, but Bisharp was _already_ good)

Sounds about right

True

At least they’re still good

I was thinking about the same thing lol

you could say the same for dragon types

I- then who’s fault is it

It's helpful if you don't have any healing items or don't want to use them

Lunar Dance is basically just discount Healing Wish

@@goldenhydreigon4727 it is still a signature move which makes the user faint and only benefits the next pokemon to be sent out. think about it from the perspective of a wild cresselia: what benefit does it gain by knocking itself unconcious like that? given that the effect is to heal just the next pokemon sent out, it wouldn't be the type of thing where it could use it in order to heal a massive number of pokemon that are suffering (this being cresselia, I imagine that would be what it would use it for if it could, more specifically to heal pokemon who are being attacked by darkrai). additionally, one could argue that knocking itself out like that would just leave it vulnerable to darkrai's nightmare powers (as if it wasn't already a bad match for its rival legendary, being a psychic type matched up against a dark type). actually, that matchup is such that i suspect that cresselia is another of those legends that might have been fairy type if it were introduced today (along with celebi and jirachi, among others), but they didn't want to change the types of any legendaries.

Creselia is overrated it’s not that good

I love the Ice type!

Now they are basically overclassed by fairies, because they are only strong vs 2 types, the only useful psychics today have op Stats, have a good secondary type or have nice supp moves. If we quit the overpowered psychic legendaries, psychic is like one of the 3 worst types.

Psychic is one of the worst types, what do you mean?

@Meese it was literally like a joke

Except maybe Metagross.

Also many Psychic mons got Fairy coverage or Fairy added to their typing Stuff like Reuniclus ran Focus Miss as a Dark types counter, now it gets Dazzling Gleam..

@@AlldaylongRock true. Also, it’s funny how he mentions Bede at the end of the video. Bede going from Psychic specialist to Fairy specialist is basically the devs admitting what I’m talking about: Fairy essentially replaced Psychic. Lol

@@rzeitouneh Fairy is a way better type than Psychic, I actually think that it is as OP as Gen1 Psychic or veeery close It completely shifted the way teams are constructed and it has only one real weakness, because who the f*ck is gonna use a Poison type to counter Fairies(Unless you do Toxic stall strats with Toxapex or something) when Steel types are already used for both good offensive and defensive utility? (Not to mention Steel/Fairy types being absolutely broken defensively) Plus with virtually all Fairy types getting Psychic-type coverage (not mentioning the plethora of Psychic/Fairy mons there are) but only a few getting Ground/Fighting/Fire coverage on their best attacking side it just makes sense to use a Steel type.. Fairy was actually another nail in the coffin for Bug types.. Because see: resistance to Fighting and Dark, while being SE to both(the Fighting resistance and SE against Dark were the only selling points of Bugs, because Dark and Ghost took care of Psychics already) and it also resists Bug for some reason.. I think that while surely Dragon was a brutal offensive type, the Fairy type having sooo much offensive power (SE against the 3 best attacking types, also isn't Moonblast the most powerful, 100 accuracy, no drawbacks move that exists while being widespread ? Correct me if I'm wrong) and defensive utility means that it totally is the best type in the game and something that you have to have a way to deal with it

@@staticflowzz hi

@@staticflowzz hi🤣😂

@@staticflowzz yo

@@staticflowzz Hai

Well........ its the starters

Yeah

I think he's doing a "class" type Nature: Bug instead of Grass Destruction: Dragon instead of fire Untouchable/Non Solid: Ghost instead of water

I think it's more because he's been doing the types that have seen the most drastic changes over the different generations since the very beginning of Pokemon and thus they make for more interesting videos. Grass, Fire, and Water (and even Electric) are all essentially just as viable now as they have been since Gen I and so their "Then vs Now" videos would be pretty dull. Virtually nothing has changed regarding any of these types over the years. Hell, even their type matchup charts have barely changed at all. The only changes they've seen are that Fire became super effective against Steel and it resists Fairy. And just like most other types, Steel resists Grass. That's it.

@@DukeDarkshadow well, fire did get a change in gen 2 and 4, in gen 2, it gained a new super effective type, Steel, and gen 4, the Physical Special Split happened, allowing the Fire type to have Physical and Special moves. And in a somewhat long strech, even gen 8 with Gigantamax and Dynamax.

That joke is amazing. Also it's very sad how some of the Pokemon I love like dustox, castform, hail yeah, yanmega (Not weak just no one uses) are incredibly weak. And one of the few Pokemon that I didn't mention that are weak that I love is Unknown

Did someone say Castform? Can I get a Hail Yeah?

Its actually called unown and also it wouldn't make sense if it happened bc unown was made in gen 2 and wynaut was made in gen 3 but i get its a joke (just wanted to point it out)

ur so funny that just brightened up my day thanks i needed that

Yeah those pokemon deserve more love than they get

ITS MIKEY! HES COVERED THIS MULTIPLE TIMES.

I was basing my joke on Pokemon Gold and Silver. Snaesal is only obtainable in Ice Path in Pokemon Crystal, and I already mentioned that Umbreon is the only Dark-Type Pokemon you can get before beating the League.

It even made Musharna invisible

Victini: laughs in V-create

I didn’t even notice that Victini and Musharna were missing until I read this

@@Thebetterrobo Musharna is Trash

@@omarmendez0402 I don’t like it, but calling it trash is a bit harsh

Those elemental punches helped but Alakazam was hard countered by Snorlax and really struggled against Mistrivious. Tyrannitar could also prove problamatic but it's lower special defense and HP meant it could be overpowered. Snorlax though was a hard stop to any phychic type Alakazam or otherwise. In Gen 1 they didn't really have a Pokémon that was a hard counter. Tauros was strong but it was an attacker and it was slower than Alakazam and Starmie so it couldn't take 2 phychics back to back. Snorlax however could and would KO them back in one hit. Gen 2 Snorlax really is the single most dominant Pokémon competitive has ever seen.

@@MrMarinus18 Misdreavus was a late game pokemon in GSC. I did not intend to say that Alakazam can handle a whole Johto but most parts of it. I used it on my Crystal playthrough, it helped a lot.

Alakazam can still use the elemental punches in gen 8, I think it peaked back in gen 2 because the elemental punches were all special moves as fire, ice and electric type attacks were all special until gen 4

JUST ALAKAZAM

@@savastojmirovic2450 It is the best pokemon to use in a Gen 2 Johto playthrough and is a solid Psychic type. The other options are underwhelming like Hypno, Jynx, Unown, Natu and Girafarig

@Victorious Kuching Were you referencing PMD2?

@@RandomHans what is PMD2??

@@randomjeffy9710 Ok so you don't know, but I'll explain it. PMD2 is a shortening of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2, the sequel to the first Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Game, which is a spinoff. (spoilers, kinda) At the postgame, Cresselia joins your team to fight Darkrai. But while going through the dungeons, Cresselia goes to defeat every Pokèmon in its way, which means it takes a lot of damage before you even reach Darkrai. Because of this, the PMD fandom just says Cresselia is stupid because it either wastes their reviver seeds, or makes them fail their mission altogether. I don't know if you already knew this but I explained it anyway.

@@lohchong4862 hope he's ok ihavent noticed it

He covered it in bug type then vs now

Mewtwo was arguably the SINGLE MOST OVERPOWERED Pokemon in gen1, with Alakazam, Jynx (due to ice being actually good in gen1 competition and having lovely kiss), and Exeggutor (one of the best competitive Pokemon that generation) being all close seconds

@@matthewkuscienko4616 In Gen 2 however, the most overpowered 'mon was probably Snorlax.

@@robertlupa8273 Yes, from what I heard, Snorlax was basically the OU metagame, and it could pretty much do just about anything with it's sets it could run
