So that means we'll see "NERFS that didn't hurt these Pokémon".

Nothing beats Ledian getting buffed with Iron Fist, truly the best buff of all time.

Nasty Plot on Gengar and Alakazam is even worse when you consider that in addition to needing a turn to set up, they need a second turn to miss Focus Blast.

The image of Heracross holding a spike is good. He's like "Dude what am I supposed to do with this?" Doesn't even threaten flying types that take both his stabs

Replacing Gengar's Levitate with Cursed Body on Gen 7 is truly a mistake, I thought it was a Hidden Ability for years.

There could definitely be a evolution counterpart to this video titled something like "evolutions that failed to revive a pokemon" considering how weirdly often a pokemon from a previous generation got another stage only for the new stage to fall flat regardless. Prominent examples being dusclops, stantler and of course electabuzz.

Funny thing is Scream Tail is what buffed Wigglytuff wanted to be

The funny thing is that in both Gen 8 & 9 NatDex, Mega Alakazam actually got banned from the tier because it got Nasty Plot. Oh and Mega Gengar is banned from Gen 9 NatDex Ubers to AG status, not because it got Nasty Plot in Gen 8, but because it got Encore in that gen. With Encore, Mega Gengar became probably the most broken thing to ever exist in Pokemon; it got quickbanned from NatDex Ubers less than a day after the tier's formation alongside Shedinja and Calyrex-SR, and shortly before Mega Rayquaza and Miraidon joined the banlist.

Flare Blitz came too little too late for Flareon

At least Bibarel's buffs allowed it to be banned from BDSP NU

you'd think that wigglytuff would learn moonblast considering it's a fairy type that lives on the moon and evolves with a moonstone, just like clefable, but nope. not even the primal scream tail who's in desperate need of power can learn it. they're all stuck with dazzling gleam. WHY

The one fix I have for Ttar is adjust sand stream to give your pokemon setting the weather an immunity to it, Ttar cannot Tarastalize like the rest of the meta or else it will take chip damage from its own weather. Relegating it to have Rock/Steel/ or Ground to choose from which makes it easy to counterplay

Something sounds so viscerally wrong about suggesting a buff for Tyranitar and giving it Sucker Punch, Stone Axe, and Ceaseless Edge. It's not sneaky enough for Sucker Punch, has no axes for Stone Axe, and no blades for Ceaseless Edge -- and this is all to buff TYRANITAR of all things.

Are we going to ignore that there was a Bibarel nicknamed "Justin"? This isn't the first we've seen someone do that.

Its funny that NP on Alakazam and Gengar played a big part in their success in Gen 8 NatDex, with NP Z Gengar destroying stall and NP Zam being banworthy. Obviously Natdex isn't covered here, but the way metas are so different between natdex and the mainline games is always nice to see

Sand stream needs to give you a sand immunity

Ledian getting iron fist is the best buff ever in the history of Pokémon 🗣️🔥💯

Please make Megahorn 100% accurate with no downsides. Being a Bug type attack IS downside, it's resisted by SEVEN types for fucks sake.

Love how you surprisingly left out Beartic who was getting everything under the sun since Gen 7 (except a speed stat boost) From an Atk boost (110 > 130), to an Hail equivalent of Swift Swim/Sand Rush in the form of Slush Rush, to the most significant move options like Knock Off, Play Rough, Liquidation, Close Combat and EQ, and even the overhaul of Hail by replacing it with Snow All that and it’s still a low-tier mon at best, because it is still too slow (50 to be exact), that and no resistances to offset 4 weaknesses
