What is the Best Gen 3 Pokemon? 

Dragon these nuts

i hold the foremost commentary reply

I love your videos @WolfeyVGC! Keep it up!

womp womp, i dont care

Hijacking pinned comment to bring up that you said Gullet Punch at 17:36

I agree, but as the joke says, 4x weakness to water.

@@rodrigovisk3120 haha funny ability but ye

​@@rodrigovisk3120 Who laughs last, laughs the best. Now that I think about, setting a weather to have complete immunity to your 4x weakness is kinda crazy

Yeah they're one of the best legendary duos.

It does make a lot of sense but idk, I personally just ~feel~ like Kyogre is "better" (context being a "best pokemon" video) and, since Wolfey listed it last and mentioned it's one of his personal favourites as well, I'm considering it the winner - for whatever that's worth. Surely it's one of Wolfey's favourites over Groudon for a reason right? If you like them tied or think Groudon's better, that's cool but I'm going to type out my thoughts below just for my own sake. "Best" is pretty subjective to opinion and I didn't even play with the Primals so don't have proper context for Groudon's peak anyways. That said, Kyogre doesn't need to mega to boost it's own stabs and fix it's own Thunder accuracy. Water Spout's accuracy is also really reliable whereas Groudon is relying on P Blades more often. The thing that does it for me though is that in gen 8, there were a whole bunch of sun teams powered by Groudon but players still decided to replace it with Torkoal to fit Kyogre on the team (see Players Cup 3 winner). I get that was a metagame thing but it wasn't a one time use and it really impresses me that Kyogre was self-sufficient to the point of slotting in nicely with sun cores and seeing success. I'm probably underrating how effectively Groudon props up it's teammates while being so powerful on it's own but it just ~feels~ like it's less consistent of a threat itself without abusing the generational mechanic - the Primal fire typing and water immunity being massive or Dynamax fixing it's accuracy and bulk all at once. (Edit: I also feel like if it weren't for Storm Drain, this would be much less close.) TL;DR: Torkoal can be strong enough to be a decent replacement for Groudon, Groudon was only strongest while abusing gen gimmicks and Kyogre sets itself up more easily and doesn't rely on inaccurate moves as often.

​@@2LettersSho Yeah, I noticed its more detrimental to whip out a drizzle pokemon other than kyogre, but when its replacing groudon with torkoal, I see the value that torkoal can brings without taking up your retricted slot. Id also agree the kyogre definitely has a good balance of offense and defense and can be more verdatile than og groudon. They only become most equal when they are in primal form, and at that point, they are both at the top of the meta games that they exist in

Imagine if they we canocially lover and they have a some sort of special move that only works when they are together on the team.

​@@Prash_0 Or a common enemy

The fact that those two went top tier unbalanced until fucking gen 9 is absurd

​@@thelastshadowpigzThis is a combination that Groudon and Kyogre can do against Rayquaza. Groudon uses Stone Edge and Kyogre uses Ice Beam. If they did that they would not have to worry about Rayquaza again.

Best pair of legendaries ever.

Was hoping someone else noticed that lol

I mean, 25% shorter than the Johto video for a bigger and more interesting gen is a decent effort :)

He might’ve meant that he sent the editor less raw footage to edit.

If we get Primals back, Primal Groudon already beat Incineroar during the "What is the best Fire Type Pokemon" video

⁠@@Aquilenne It literally didn't, Wolfe said Incineroar was better than Primal Groudon.

@@Aquilenneprimal groudon is quite literally worse than incineroar

@@Aquilennenever let bro cook again 💀

He'll probably say incineroar

Who? The AI Guy? 🙃

@@godoftwinkies574 lil bro it’s not ai😭

​@@Dylan-ov6edbro just learned AI art exists, cut him some slack

There's multiple artists, he mentioned the thumbnails will change randomly to show everyone's art off

The backgrounds of each Pokémon were great

You won the race 😔

Les go

Gg

Damnit he beat me to it

Hoennian Bidoof Better

Blaziken gren and cinderace did so well in singles that they never gained spotlight in vgc(weren't that good tbf),same goes for swampert tbh Meanwhile Rillaboom And the kanto trio gained spotlight in both metas

​@@AnweshanPandit primarina too It's really good in the sun

@ZyjhenCredo Yep I left it for someone to comment Primarina is exceptionally good in vgc and 6v6ss (btw it's one of the top-dogs in smogon 1v1 meta)

I understand why Peli is better than Poli but why is Torkoal better than K-Ninetales?

⁠@@TaLeng2023torkoal is excellent in trick room teams because its so slow and does great damage with eruption, thats pretty much it.

@@Wuerschtle ah, so it's basically just coz of Eruption. Ninetales really saw no play?

​@@TaLeng2023torkoal also has huge defence. yawn, body press, burning jealousy as well as it's ridiculousyl low speed which is a huge advantage with eruption. Ninetails just.. Doesnt do anything in comparison

I came here to make an Incineror joke 😂

He summons his own weather,incinether,which makes everything gain -6 attack and breaks their knees and throats

I can’t believe you forgot the mightiest mon that abuses weather, castform

​@@iloveiceberglettucehow do you gain -6?? Lmao

@@boogityhoo7452 yes,it adds +6 and -12

He said tho if it just showed up with its base stats

How did you not hear the middle of the sentence? He specifically said if "all it brought with it were its stats".

@@maromania7​​⁠ And this person didn’t mention that, so they’re talking two different hypotheticals bro. Come off your high little pony

@@umai5332 ponyta*

Hey it's also 2 minutes shorter than the gen one video

🤝

Also from Shield dex: Incineroar’s rough and aggressive behavior is its most notable trait, but the way it helps out small Pokémon shows that it has a kind side as well. Incineroar might actually make a good judge & jury

Lmao yeah I tried to contain my laughter but I couldn’t, that popped me ngl 🤣

The funniest part is that that is a NYC traffic cop car. NYC traffic officers do not arrest anyone they only give parking tickets 😂

At 7:10 Latias also had a trumpet!

Also 8:29 Wartortle had one!

8:48 Wartortle with trumpet, 17:10 Wobbuffet with trumpet

@@Lolipopys_Official oh yea I saw that but thought that was just wartortle with trumpet in the anime

Also 24:46 in Chespin's backpack. The trumpets just never stop coming

Gen 3-5 is peak “box legendary” designs

​@@xdifficultviper9916 I'm still salty gen 5 didn't introduce the OG dragon (tao trio original form)

I'm gonna die on the hill that the Creation Trio is the coolest ever (especially Giratina), but yeah, weather trio's definitely up there.

Incineroar was also sighted at 1:20

truly it's the best hoenn pokemon

@@JackLeighton-uh6sl But was not mentioned, only shown. Can make an edit to include all instances of Incineroar being shown in a bit tho

Awesome work friend 🔥🔥🔥

Is Incineroar the devil?

The Goated Incineroar is the Goated mascot for this Goated channel

thank you for your service incineroar timer person🥰

​@@loool72 :>

gen 6

@@josiahlute7808 Every mega was introduced in gen 6 (like mega salamence, mega metagross, and mega rayquaza). But since base Mawile was introduced in gen 3, it still would've been in this vid

​@@josiahlute780813:58 😮 13:59 14:00 😮 14:19 14:28 14:30 14:41

Was it as dominant in doubles?

Yes, it was like one of the best 5 Meats when they first came out!

I imagine the hate relationship being one sided and Incineroar would just laugh at him.

Your thinking gen 6

@@CouchCat101 considering Kangaskhan was in the gen 1 video?

Poor Mawile. ): Had a brief time in the spotlight with mega evolution only to have it taken away.

It was only good because it had Mega Evolution. Without it, it's actual garbage so it just doesn't deserve to be in the Top 10.

@@Vermillionxsame with Kangaskhan, it only got in because the bar was lower by Gen 1 standards

Incineroar 4ever!!!

The incineroar comment somehow showed up before it could appear in the video 😂

For a second I was scared people stopped making those comments XD

Nah they’ll never stop, it’s almost like a race as soon as a video goes live because it’s a very reliable way to get the top comment

@@harleyevans6563 tbf not always cause usually only one gets "selected by the people", but yeah a good chance for sure

Spheal

What's it's ability I've never used it

@@nebulagod Spheal Stare, when used against a player character, they will always flinch and instruct their pokemon to claim defeat

@@nebulagod Fr though, thick fat and ice body. Thick fat halves damage from fire & ice moves, ice body heals 1/16 per turn in hail/snow (also makes em immune to hail if they're not already).

​@@onebear6504just play a doubles game and use a pokemon with skill swap and give it thick fat then you can use spheal

Yeah I seriously thought I missed something lol.

spoiler moment, guess the next video is gonna be a dragon type list

@@controlconTera dragon incencaroar

Maybe cause this is a week old but I just watched the best dragon type video

That's certainly an art I wanna see lol

yes but no sash is bad

​@@GravityIsFalling Why run sash? You don't have a 4x ice weakness so what is one shotting you realistically?

@@ryanhacker5259 given that it ran sash most often in 2016 and 2019 I would think it will still run sash also let's be real even neutral targets die to glacial lance

Don't forget tera flying too

​@@ryanhacker5259 imma run sash if calyrex-ice,miraidon,koraidon is common

bot

Bot

Im willing to bet the best Ground is Landorus Therian

@@milessteamaccount Or Groudon

@@snapclub8751 Actually it's tera ground Incineroar

@@snapclub8751Lando-T probably just takes it. Just.

probably because mawile is terrible

​@@GravityIsFalling mega mawile is good They are just the same as kangaskhan

Wasn't mega mawile banned to ubers at some point?

​@@ZyjhenCredo problem is there are more doubles viable mons in gen 3 than gen 1. Plus mega kanghaskan warped the metagame around it which can't be said for mega mawile

​@@kristophesiem5336 this is doubles only list bro.

Same, but with Tyranitar.

yeah like what 💀

Came here to say this, lmao
