THIS Makes Lokix Better Than It Should Be 

People sleep on Lokix. That “Not Very effective” effective First Impression is something else.

Fun fact: Lokix is technically not the first Bug pokemon that resists Ghost moves. In generations 2 through 5, Steel was resistant to Ghost. That means Scizor, Forretress, pink Wormadam, Genesect, Durant, and Escavalier were all resistant to Ghost moves for at least one generation.

I like that there is a "No" symbol on its hind leg, like its just saying "no sweeps allowed"

To be fair, Lokix is actually pretty decent. It's in UU right now, which is amazing for a Bug type not named Volcarona, Scizor, and Arceus-Bug.

Lokix is the literal definition of "Don't judge a book by it's cover". Many people consider Route 1 bugs as weak and replaceable, but Lokix is def another case. Tinted Lens First Impression and Sucker Punch, coming from a mon with 102 Base ATK stat that gains STAB on these two moves is absolutely insane. Oh and You know it's hilarious that in UU, the first question that comes in mind when a mon drops/rises to UU is "Can it survive Lokix?"

I absolutely love the little guy, always glad to see him featured

For the first bug dark type. This mon does not disappoint

Lokix is one of the coolest recent pokemon. I wish bug types weren't cursed with such bad stat totals

Lokix got the right combination of good priority moves, good stats and good ability to make this first route bug a real power house!

I've been thinking of adding Lokix to my roster of competitive trained mons and your videos always cement my decision! Another random mon that I've had some pretty awesome success with is Jumpluff with Rocky Helmet and timid nature max speed. Cotton Guard, Leech seed, strength sap, and energy ball can be an awesome check to a ton of physical threats surprisingly!!

Lokix was on my team in my first playthrough of Violet so happy to see bug type getting some love

I started playing pokemon showdown a month ago, and let me tell you: lokix has been the bane of my existence. It's immune to Prankster boosted moves thanks to its dark type, and with the exact strategy used in this video, it one-shot so many of my pokemon. I absolutely hate playing against that thing.

I shed a tear everytime I see Gengar dying to Earthquake nowadays

My favorite part was how you explained Tinted Lens at the beginning of the video but then were repeatedly were impressed by Lokix muscling through "resisted" hits XD

ive been running an almost full tinted lens team recently with lokix, noctowl, hisuian braviary, grim (reflect, t wave, sucker etc), and pelliper-swampert. it's soooo damn fun man, just not caring about resistances.

While Golisopod always makes the best First Impressions, I admire Lokix’s alternate play style.

Lokix is such a beast. Best bug type to come from Gen 9, easily!

Absolutely love that you show so much love to underrated mons! Perhaps you could focus on pincurchin? I always see it as a terrain setter n then memento sacrifice but i know he can be so much more!

FINALLY A LOKIX VID, WE LOVE THE BAMBOOZLER

Lokix is an absolute menace in UU, you see it on most teams. I run both Okidogi and Tsareena to check it

In my play through, I was disappointed in dancer duck, so Lokix ended up becoming my new starter, since I have a fondness for bug types. Girl got so many KO’s

Bruhhhh that last game was crazy , ol buddy choked the hell outta that lead !! Good stuff Brodie

Lokix was an important team member throughout the Pokémon league. He carried in every battle and situation I found myself in. It really became my favorite bug Pokémon. Anyways, great video Haydunn! Always nice to see these other Pokémon get the spotlight

It's really cool that this pokemon with a bad typing is good kinda because of said bad typing So many resist bug/dark, but that pairs pretty perfectly with tinted lense. Lokix is probably my favorite designed Gen 9 pokemon from a visual and gameplay standpoint, and I'm glad it's being pretty successful overall.

18:25 I do not understand why they didn't just Shadow Sneak regardless. I'm actually pretty sure they could have won the game if they'd done that, since the extra chip would have allowed Incineroar to survive the recoil later.

The bird for the clutch win, that poison was made it duable

HAYDUNN has done it again (banger upload just in time for lunch)

I forgot you existed for like 12 years excited to find your channel and your first video up since i found you again was about my fav mon from s/v what a coincidence

I LOVE lokix so much, one of the most buttons pokemon that you can slap on a team.

I thought Lokix name was a play on Low Kicks when first revealed lol

Everyone thinks they're safe until they get rider kicked out of nowhere

The new opening theme to your videos is so good. Love it man

Not Very Effective Lokix:Well That can’t Stop me because i don’t give a fu-

The Lokix slander needs to stop.

i love lokix, its design is just so peak honestly. love seeing a little guy kicking it with the big ones considering how crazy uu has gotten

Lokix, zero freaks given with this guy.😂

That rage quit was so wrong and especially after scoring a knockout

I’m always happy to see a Bug mon out here getting the proper recognition and respect it deserves! 👏👏

Close games against super overpowered opponents. Really entertaining!

Hear me out , blunder policy ting-lu fissure 16:54

A new Haydunn video? This is gonna be great! (the joke is that its my First Impression im sorry)

Dude love your vids, really fun stuff to watch :)

Great content. I never used Lokix because I really don’t like the way its legs look and I’m not big on bug types, but this was fun to watch.

Woah, A bug video! We should get one on Heracross next. He's the best bug type!

you should try Volbeat, it has Tailglow, Tailwind with prankster, and Batton pass. It's so fun

Lokix carried me through the first 2/3 of Radical Red's main game. Having access to first impression and sucker punch is kinda cracked.

I used Lokix on my first playthrough of Scarlet, LOVED HIM! Reminded me of the show Beetleborgs 🤣

Debuting a GOAT move like 1st impression on a Pokemon with a WOAT ability like Golisopod should have gotten a developer fired lol. I'm glad Lokix can properly take advantage of it

the second match mvp was deffo the fezen tho

Banette needs someone who believes in them! Please give Banette a chance!

Haydunn out here battling Pineapple Head

Wow, what a comeback on the last game!

Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with Silver Powder on Lokix. I tried Choice Band, and I'm tired of not being able to pivot with my U-Turn.

I can’t wait to see a video based around that magnezone

Elemental Punches Gengar is wiiiiild! I wanna see that succeed somehow, even if it's 6 gens late or 3x too long in the making to use xD

Honey wake up! HAYDUNN POSTED

I didn’t know that thunder clap doesn’t work on sucker punch. Something new for me

4:03 Doesn’t Tinted Lens get negated by Tinkaton’s Mold Breaker? So essentially that First Impression was a “true” resisted hit?

I'm a bit of a newer viewer but I really enjoy your videos and usually have them on while I'm playing Pokémon showdown, sometimes I use the same Pokémon that are featured in your videos, but what I'm curious about is what drives you to research these Pokemon and then use them in battle to prove they're viable.

The true superhero pokemon. The Kamen Rider.

I think 15-20 min videos are the perfect length!

He was my main choice for tera, it works great with life orb, leech life, sucker punch and u turn

Physical Gengar’s crit mattered!!!! Thanks for trying bro!

I think Swords Dance would work very well on this mon. Just the threat of 1st Impression gives opportunities to setup.

The pride of the early route bugs.

Interesting that you showed the bug tera in the intro, but you didn't use it in the actual video.

That last moment was epic. Clutch Fez poison

Tinted Lens Lokix hits different

Hey man, that poke-paste doesn't show the lokix build. Not sure if you know. Great content as always!

Lokix is such an anti-meta pokemon that people need to be prepared for it. The whole design screams anti-setup and revenge killing, and First Impression with Tinted Lens is busted, cuz Bug is usually one of the worst offensive typings in the game, but Tinted Lens is a middle finger to that. You'd need to Quad resist bug to be able to stop it, and then also resist dark if you can. Fighting and Fairy are the only types that resist both bug and Dark, and no other type combos can resist Lokix dual stab without those types included. But there's only 1 fairy-fighting type: Iron Valiant. So aside from that 1 mon, you can't quad resist both STABs, and you prioritise bug cuz First Impression. So Steel, Bug, fire, poison. (yes, I told you it's bad, especially when you add Fighting and Fairy). Fighting-Fire types are definitely a thing, just gen 3 through 5 fire starters. Any of these, (Blaziken, Infernape, Emboar) can easily stop Lokix, but they can't prevent it from running away, but in the case of Blaziken, that's fine. Speed Boost Swords Dance with dual stab without recoil, so probably Sky Uppercut or Close Combat with Blaze Kick is enough to poke holes in teams in return. Emboar can also setup with Flame Charge and has the bulk to take anything Lokix and others throw at it. Infernape simply relies heavily on prediction and coverage. Steel types are usually on the slow end, but they're numerous, but when combined with fighting or fairy, you're looking at Cobalion, Lucario and Klefki. Klefki is a notable one: its prankster means it can easily T-wave Lokix after a First Impression, and Lokix will likely run like hell from it, allowing it to T-wave something else or set up spikes to punish switches, which Lokix thrives on. Stealth Rock is also essential. With Spikes and Stealth Rocks, Lokix won't last long without heavy-duty-boots, but then you're not using a Choice band or Silver powder, which are common. Amongst bug types, other Lokix are of course a threat, but so is Scizor. There's also that other one, Wings something, the fire-bug type that is a variant on Volcarona , which uses First Impression too and has fire coverage. Regular Volcarona is also an option, after a Quiver Dance. Forretress also doesn't give two shits about Lokix, though a gyro ball won't kill it, but like Klefki, it's got spikes and also stealth rock to boot, and can spin the hazards that Lokix loves from teammates. And amongst poison types, there's Fezandipity and Okidogi. Okidogi in particular is a nuisance to Lokix, though it hates Knock Off, so it's not the best check. And Fezandipity just... attacks or Roosts. Finally, fairy types. I mentioned Klefki, and Tinkaton is also a thing, but not as great at countering Lokix and its strat specifically. Iron Valiant obviously destroys it, but beyond that, there's little. TLDR: best counters are Klefki, Foretress, or, with a free switch, Blaziken or Emboar, when looking at type. Moves that are useful are stealth rock and spikes, as well as T-wave and a move that can trap, such as Block or Sand Tomb. To revenge kill Lokix, Dugtrio is evil. It's faster, has Arena Trap, and has access to rock coverage like Rock Slide or Stone Edge. You'll need to let it get a turn, and then First Impression is out, at which point, Dugtrio just murders it. Probably go for Rock Slide to get the accuracy over Stone Edge. Or Rock Blast with the loaded dice, if that's your thing, but probably best to give Dugtrio a Choice Band. I hope that helps.

Yo I want to share my Magnezone set cause I see you working w Steel Beam! I'm using Terra Ground Magnet Pull- it was super good for trapping Steel types. Ive gain advantage on a lot of things lacking coverage; Empoleon, Corviknight, was common back when I ran it. I was using Terra Blast/ Thunderbolt/ Steel Beam/ Thunder Wave. If you use Shell Bell, you get a little extra use out of Steel Beam! There were times I'd fall below half and deal enough dmg to fire off 2-4 Steel Beams! It's a solid move for slow bulky Steel types like Zone or Bronzong. Awesome vid! Day 5 of asking for Zoroark- either or! : D

I think Lokix is OKAY ... But holy shit it should have had a third evolution. Maybe someday.... Good shit Haydunn.

I love this mon. By far my favorite gen 9 Pokémon. Could you imagine if this thing just had a tiny bit more attack and speed? He’d be a top tier OU threat.

Finally somebody is using physical moves on Fezandipiti, as should everybody as it's physical attacker

Lokix has an awesome shiny. Only one I've found this gen so I'm attached to the little guy.

I put my armor on and show you that i can, i put my armor on and show you that i caaiaan. I am unstoppable..

Shiny Lokix looks like Might Guy. Best Gen 9 Pokemon.

Clutch post i was thinking about building a lokix yesterday!

Really love Lokix such a cool mon

The heck do people set up when theres a first impression coming for them.

Finally da bug being featured

This guy is UU., and one of the best ones in UU. And UU this gen is nuts. Tyranitar, Garchomp for a while, Latios, Scizor, Zapdos... Like I thinks this guy just needs something, like a move or a strong pokemon to counter to get in OU. Well, as far as abug type, (that isn't volcarona) can go

The fact that lokix is faster then the god of time Dialga is crazy too😭

This marks the first day of asking for a Dragalge debut.

Haydunn, please, use Dragalge once. I am interested in your fun builds.

we need a Rabsca video now!

That first game Lokix was the Goat

Lokix the UU menace King

Haydunn somehow becoming more based over time?!

I swear blunder policy has some kind of hidden accuracy boost 🤨

What is your intro music sir, it sounds awesome

Gotta love lokix the pokemon with one move

I opted for Spidops on my first run. No regrets cus he gewd.

The team paste isn’t correct ?? Tryna copy the build

YESSSSSSS, this little dude is great *-*

RAHHHH LOKIX TIME

Guessing the next video that comes out will be on magnezone lol

Another radical red build that gives me traumas

lokix is my fav pokemon

Choice Band Gengar? This man lost it lmao
