Some will never figure out how to get Clefable in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Clefable Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Clefable Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.
Arceus exists.
The below text is very relevant to many people.
Game Freak just blew all other online game development schools out of the water with this incredible new 2022 release. You're gonna need to get a game design degree online, and FAST, if you want to make a better game than this. Not even the best strategy games android reddit could hold a candle to this breathtaking Next generation competitive Pokemon experience.
Scream Tail is the Jigglypuff of our wildest dreams. It has been buffed with some higher statistics and the incredible ability, Protosynthesis. Gen 9 Competitive Pokemon wouldn't be the same without this powerful pink blob. He kinda looks like someone I met in one of my game design and development courses.
Gen 9 Pokemon Showdown is one of the greatest online gaming sites in history. From Pikachu and Charizard, to Palafin and Roaring Moon, The new Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, have introduced a lot of new faces. Can I succeed in one of the best android games of all time? If so, I'm gonna get myself a Walmart bakery Pokemon cake to celebrate.
Gholdengo is a Pokemon made of pure gold. He must have done some online business management courses to accumulate all that wealth. Or perhaps he might want to learn how to make money playing video games on RU-vid. In any case, he's a powerful metagame force, with absolutely no interest in online game development schools.

I feel Clefable’s buff was a bit understated here, it was so good in Gen 6 that people started using it in Gen 4 and 5 OU, where back in the day it was only considered a UU pokemon at best
@wigglytuffenjoyer
@wigglytuffenjoyer 26 дней назад
That’s actually a common misconception. Clef was used seriously in Gen 4 OU since BW2 times because of how hated Magic Guard was in Gen 5. People just started to think “dang, if ignoring sand and hazards is so good in this powerful meta game, surely it’s even better to do this in a generation with a lower power level compared to gen 5.” Clef just so happened to have solid enough stats and was at the time the only user of Magic Guard
@slander8643

@artimist0315 26 дней назад

While I think it deserves an honorable mention, I still think toed is #1. The only reason politoed isn't banned is because gen 5 has always been known as the weather war generation, and people think it defines the tier. Many of the best gen 5 players believe rain shouldve been banned from the getgo, but now it appears to be too late. While yes, some pokemon have risen to ubers, politoed is responsible for multiple pokemon, abilities, and strategies to get banned. It may not be an Uber, but it required the most convoluted set of bannings in smogon's history today in order to allow it, and it still serves as the #1 example to this day for smogon of how not to handle bans. If generation 5 was erased from our memories and then released tomorrow with how tiering philosophy currently is, politoed would be quickbanned.

Honestly, for gens 2 to 3, I think Wobboffet was buffed the most. In gen 2, Wob was in Zu, not even an official tier, I believe. Status, set up moves, or even Simply switching completely counters wob in gen 2. But in gen 3, wob gains some new moves, notably encore, but more importantly, shadow tag. Suddenly, you can't switch out, and trying to set up will lead to being encored, allowing for a safe switch. Trace pokemon can give it trouble, but they weren't really common enough. That and the fact two wobs locked in on each other forces a tie due to gen 3 struggle mechanics, Wob began the first ever non legendary banned from ou.

What about wobbafett going from gen 2 to 3 It's biggest flaw in gen 2 was that pokemon could switch out of it and now all of a sudden it clicking counter or mirror coat doesn't matter. In gen 3, wobbafett gained the ability shadow tag, allowing it to guarantee its target gets trapped in battle with them. Furthermore, in gen 2 you could max out every single stat, meaning mixed offenses were far more common and consistent- in gen 3, the limit of ev spreading means many pokemon have to focus solely on physical or special attack. This removes the need for prediction on what countering move to click, allowing wobbafett to consistently take out special or physical wall breakers. Not being able to max out stats also means many opposing pokemon may lack hp evs, allowing for wobbafetts counters to be far more dangerous. It also gained encore in the move to gen 2 to 3, allowing it to lock an enemy into 1 moves, which is a very powerful utility. I think it's most notable for wobbafett, as it went from zu in gen 2, to ubers in gen 3.

If we're discounting megas, I'd say serperior had the biggest buff from gen 5 to 6. While bisharp went from UU to OU, serperior went all the way from NU to one of the top threats in OU. Serp didn't have access to contrary in its debut generation, so it could not make use of leaf storm to boost and deal massive damage simultaneously. It could also take advantage of the new sticky webs by allowing it to be a massive counter to webs teams as it gives you a boost. Finally, it benefits from the new buffed defog, as it is an excellent secondary defogger. Serp packed multiple roles as a hazard remover, Para spreader even to ground types, taunt stallbreaker, leech seed staller, revenge killer with scarf sets, and a setup sweeper, and it could do most of these things with a single set despite having a pitifully shallow movepool. It even has access to the new buffed knock off which it uses surprisingly well despite being a special attacker. All of these changes turned serperior from an okay NU pokemon to one of the best in OU over the course of a single generation.

Azumaril might be the most consistently buffed mon in the series. Starting as unviable for NU in Gen 2 it got better with each game, starting with its great ability in Gen 3, the phys special split in Gen 4 and having a big niche in Gen 5 OU due to all the rain and I believe it also got Aqua Jet at this point. Then becoming an OU staple with its gen 6 typing buff to water fairy. That’s 4 Generations in succession where it got major buffs

Combined with the Skill Link ability, access to a couple multi-hit moves, a priority stab move, and an option to even run mixed coverage, the introduction of Shell Smash turned this mon, whose stats would suggest physical wall, into a fast offensive powerhouse over night, becoming one of the most terrifying boost sweepers in the game.

If we're allowing ubers, Wobuffet (gen 3) should be a contender over Dugtrio. Going from a useless gimmick to instant death is certainly a shift in competitive viability.

The Magcargo theory is 100% valid. It's MagCarGo. Car go? A car can only go with a solid amount of horse power.

Very surprised that Kyurem-B wasn’t the pick for gen 8. 700 BST box legendary trapped in OU for 3 gens straight, only took two moves to bump it up to true Uber status. Truly always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

The list isnt including mons that get banned. Its about new gens gifting mons tools that place them into viability in standard play (OU).

I would've liked to have seen this concept as two videos. Many of the mons mentioned here aren't actually suddenly much more viable because they were "buffed" per se, but work better in the new meta game due to other changes such as dex cuts, move pool cuts for other mons, or other effects like spike immunity being relevant. Rimbombee being a big example of a mon you award who wasn't actually "buffed". Could do a video on indirect buffs and one on direct buffs, perhaps.

macargo learns high horse power because he has car in his name, not because he is a horse (he is a slug). He is a phony, an impostor if you will. Request to join the council denied.

surprised no mention of the slowtwins and the advent of buffed teleport and future sight, alongside hdb. those two basically defined the tier in their respective defensive capabilities.

the funny thing about gen 6 clefable is that it seemed like an insane glow-up at the time, but after seeing how good it was with the fairy type, people tried it in earlier gens and it's currently ranked B+ in gen 5 (same as Heatran and Latias) and A+ rank in gen 4. there's a strong argument to be made that its real glow-up actually happened in gen 4, not gen 6, and that it was buffed even more than scizor was despite the fact that it took years for this to be discovered

Great video! I'd just like to point out that "benefactor" is the one giving the help and "beneficiary" is the one receiving it. If we slack in our adherence to established definitions, Iron Mugulis wins.
