The BEST and WORST Regional Pokémon Forms 

I do think Alolan Ninetales should be on the list. With the snow rework, it makes ice types a lot more useful buffing the defenses, which makes Ninetales a little bit of a tank... well for ice type standards which ain't much. Combine this with Aurora Veil and now your team is very hard to take down. IMO the best hail/snow setter (rip Abomasnow), plus a decent enough 109 speed it does its job well.

Sometimes Regional Variants are GameFreak's way of nerfing Pokemon they hate without lowering their Base Stats, to make it less suspicious.

I think golem alola is a really fun pokemon, that thing hits like a truck, has solid bulk and it's signature ability is so cool!

Galarian stunfisk actually hurt me mentally because it's such a cool concept but they act like a bear trap isn't strong and deadly🙄 gave it such a unique niche that it literally can't do it

G. Rapid ash should get Sharpness and Psycho Cut

Pastel Veil should have had an extra effect of halving Poison damage for the party.

i dont play competitive but i make a poison point to get an Alolan Muk whenever i can, its too good not to use, only one weakness and hits kinda hard while putting fairy and psychic types in their place, what's not to love? also, it can learn ice punch (or ice fang, i cant recall) to counter ground types.

KO'ing those shinies genuinely upset me.

I was so psyched for Galarian Rapidsash, but I have thoughts: 1. It’s pointless to give it Psychic type too. 2. Wish it had some stat better to give it actual viability competitively 3. What’s the horn for? For stabbing! Gotta love a unicorn that looks magical but is actually a physical attacker. It’s just fun.

I cannot belief you have such a high quality editing for your low amount of subs. You'll be going places

G-Fisk lucked out by being one of the best pokemon in Pokemon GO pvp, being one of the faces of the most popular format for a long time.

i love galarian rapidash, but its really underwhelming. pastel veil should make it imune to all poison moves. and maybe take 10 points from sp. atk and put on speed it would be nice. this wouldnt make it broken or anything, but would be a cool improvement

your channel is good; going places. keep up the work

Alolan Ninetails should be here. Being able to set up Aurora Veil is ridiculously effective

“Let us down bigly”

Well, most of these had been pretty bad in vgc apart from like, Muk and Marowak. Unfortunately this is especially true for Darmanitan, who’s bad bulk and lack of spread damage made it pretty bad. And yeah, for belly drum sweepers we usually use something that can still take a hit, like Cetitan for example. That doesn’t invalidate this list at all though. My favorite regional will be Marowak because it’s a really cool looking Pokemon and yeah, it’s pretty good!

Galarian Rapidash may be pretty bad but it looks ✨Regal✨ (It does get Psycho Cut btw)

I’d personally move duggy to a higher spot, maybe 1 or 2 (the downgrade to a technical uber to this is crazy) and swap tauros for Ninetales. That’s kind of it honestly, great list.

Solid video

Fire/Ghost types have yet to miss. Every single one is an absolute BANGER. (Especially the Regional ones.) RIP avalugg though. I think they are the one Pokemon Arceus canonically hates.

Great quality for this early into your channel 👏🏻

Surprised Sneasler didn’t get any love. I’d say it’s def third best at worst after Samurott and Darmanitan.

I won't order mine because I don't want to think but... Worst: Raticate, Dugtrio, Meowth (Any of them), Stunfisk, Rapidash, Sandslash HM: Any of the mons with Regional Evolutions (not named Sneasler or Clodsire) Best: Darmanitan, Ninetales, Zoroark, Samurott, Slowking HM: Braviary/Lilligant (Did not know Lilligant had VGC use) Meowth does not do anything, it just vibes, maybe the unique evolution with the steel type does something but this is regional forms not evolutions. I dont't have a reason for Slowking, he just kinda slaps most of my teams so I assume it is good. Zoroark gains one of the best typings in the game combined with it's ability which can buy it loads of free turns. Also Immune to Normal, Fighting, and Ghost. Any of the three would be better than Psychic immunity but it gets all three.

Would your ranking change if you ranked them only by their design?

Honestly, I don’t get how typhlosion is an honorable mention, it’s ability is worthless, it’s slower, and less bulky, it’s only benefit is 2 new immunities, other than that? It has no use

MattBud only always boosting crap mons!!! SIKE the poke goat back with another banger ♥️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 thanks MattBud u the best congrats on 1k 🤞🏼🚨

Oh boy those are some good variants

Your my favorite regional variant

To think they would go all the way with the My Little Pony Theme for Galarian Ponyta & Rapidash and not touch the actual thing that has made regular Rapidash so underwhelming-it’s stats. Even an extra 5 points to its speed would have made a sizable difference. Pastel Veil needs to be buffed to make it completely immune to Poison moves.

Actually criminal not putting slowbro/slowing on this list

Alolan Persian is also a pretty bad mon. Its even worse because it doesn't even look cool...

Biggly? I’m Gen 6 latest vet & being not too knowledgeable on regional variants I’m kinda skeptical of your choice of words 0:08

My drunk idea to make h-avalugg somewhat better: what if instead it was an ice/fighting type?

les go

Top 5 Best and Top 5 Worst cross-gen evolutions: -SPOILERS: Electivire and Dusknoir are at the bottom two whiling Annihilape, Ursaluna, and Kingambit are the top 3 even if all too obvious-

Galarian Rapidash is a really weird case. If it was its own Mon, everyone would say it is just a Rapidash clone. Now it does things like Rapidash but worse, so everyone says we already have rapidash. But it only does things worse, because of its typing. Physical Fairy and Psychic types are always worse then their special counterparts. If it was a special attacker, then it would be worse then Guardevoir or Mr. Mime. So all in all, everything just weird. I am hoping for good physical Fairy and Psychic options though due to powercreep, i think it will be too late

I'm still really mad that Rapidash isn't a like a fairy /flying Pegasus

Tbh galarian did the best at forms

Steel Fisk!!! Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

Alolan Raticate is genuinely my favorite regional variant lol I know it’s bad though 😔 lol

Idk about worst, but the best (in my opinion, mostly by design) are #5- Alolan Dugtrio #4- Paldean Wooper #3- Alolan Diglett #2- Hisuian Electrode #1- Hisuian Voltorb I’m very biased on voltorb and electrode

How dare you calling galarian rapidash a bad regional form😡

Consider official Pokemon format ( vgc) also

Alolan Muk is my GOAT love that gay little guy

first view no way

Smogon is not a good reference. They ban shit they can’t handle and their meta is unbalanced

I really hate when videos do best and worst instead of one or the other
