Pokémon Starter Tierlist 0:4 (old)
Transcript
00:00So, the advantage, however, is that it is resistant to a lot.
00:16Yeah, that's the thing that kind of gives it the edge against the Arillaboom is that
00:22the grass type just comes with a lot of baggage with it.
00:24So you gotta have a lot more to make up for those weaknesses that you don't really have
00:29with fire.
00:30Because fire, even mono fire, is a very good type.
00:33Yeah, so when you factor in the power aspect, the raw power aspect of Dynamaxing, even if
00:44Cinderace doesn't one-hit kill, it's still got a good chance of not being one-hit killed
00:50itself.
00:51And, of course, in Dynamax, if you survive the first hit, you win.
00:57If you don't one-hit kill and you survive the first hit, you win.
01:02Looking at the move pool, Cinderace is also pretty diverse.
01:09Like what other fire type starter can learn a grass type move?
01:17Other than Solarbeam.
01:18You're right.
01:19I think we can put Cinderace in B tier.
01:25Top of B tier.
01:27Works.
01:28That sounds about right.
01:29It's just Shion.
01:30It can't really hang with the A tiers because if Dynamax wasn't a thing, it'd be an A.
01:36Yeah.
01:37Dynamax is the main thing in poolings for moneyback.
01:41Okay, next up, Inteleon.
01:42Yay!
01:43You were right the first time.
01:50That is definitely a right-wing furry Ransona.
01:53Hey!
01:54Hey!
01:56So, there's an advantage in that Inteleon is only weak to grass and electric.
02:03And is resistant to steel, fire, water, and ice.
02:05So it's like, most of the, like, outside of like the first gym, Inteleon's kind of good
02:10against everyone.
02:11Or at least it's okay against everyone.
02:16Its special attack and speed are both much higher than Cinderace's.
02:20Mm-hmm.
02:21I have no idea what that says, it just burns.
02:29Yeah, so, given that its whole thing is like sniping people, yeah, it is basically a sniper.
02:40You need to kill something in one hit, or you are probably going to get absolutely fucking
02:46bodied.
02:47Most of, it's neutrally damaged by most things, and its defenses are terrible.
02:52Trust me, I know.
02:55God, that fight with Pop killed me.
03:01Yeah, it's a pure glass cannon, so, bottom of A tier.
03:11Yes!
03:12You know what, actually, yeah, we'll bring you up one.
03:15Yay!
03:16Okay, moving on to the last gen, we've got Spriggetito.
03:20We are, Despacito, Weedcat.
03:27Despotito, Elgato, and Le Meowserab.
03:33So how much does Dynamax, not Dynamax, how much does Tarastalyze fuck up our analysis
03:42here?
03:43Well, for the starters, they don't Tarastalyze in anything but their types.
03:48Yeah, most Pokemon in the actual game, outside of competitive, they Tarastalyze into either
03:56a mono-type version of themselves, or like whatever the gym's type is.
04:02True, true, true.
04:04Let's see, Meowth, so basically every type is represented in the game, so, cause if it's
04:12not represented by a gym, it's represented by either a titan or the team star member.
04:17Yeah.
04:18I like, yeah, so like Meowth's Garada, in all cases, if you start with Meowth's Garada,
04:23she Tarastalyzes into just a pure grass type.
04:27Right.
04:28So if you want to get rid of any dark type weaknesses, you can just do that.
04:31And doing that is actually very good for her, because she has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 weaknesses
04:40and one of them is times 4.
04:42Yeah.
04:43And is resistant to 6.
04:47Yeah.
04:48Being immune to Psychic is huge, but...
04:53Is it though?
04:54I mean, it's not as huge as it would have been like back in Gen 2, but...
04:58Yeah, like I was gonna say, it's huge, but at this point, a lot of Psychic types can
05:03get around being, having, going up against an immunity.
05:08It looks like she specializes in speed and physical attack, but them defenses are oof.
05:13Uh, I'd say it's...
