" i also notice that there is no ground type..." Tortera : " am i a joke to you?"
EXACTLY the joke i was gonna make 😁👍

For lots of people, yes

Grunty boi with a beard is cursed, yet kinda cool
Definitely
Yeah
Agreed
I thought the same
Agreed I didn't notice he had a beard until grunty boi showed up
Mikey: “No Flying type stab.” Togekiss: “Am I a joke to you?” Mikey agian literally minutes later: “No ground types.” Torterra: “Am I ALSO a joke to you?”
Also garchomp
he meant stab super effective moves against the types, but yeah, torterra got the shaft

Drifblim is very good, especially In Nuzlocke/, with a few easy to find heart scales you can give it strength sap and minimize. It can also support the team with tail wind. Also it can set up and baton pass to others. It gets electric and psychic coverage, but it’s main tanky stall position is what’s so good about it
AGREED!

Cynthia gave me ptsd
every team is a 1/10 except for the bidoof team. The League is no joke
My team was Gardevoir, Infernape, Gyarados, Roserade, Weavile, and Garchomp. It was a pretty nice team, which easily handled Cynthia's team with relative ease.

If you do another one of these videos, my team for bd was Pringle (Empoleon) Egg (Luxray) Mentos (Crobat) FH Cheeto (Houndoom) Beef (Garchomp) Cucumber (Gallade) I had food as a nickname pattern
The Cheeto
Darn it now your making me hungry
wait, i named a piplup pringles without seeing this...
Wow! A lot of these teams are so interesting, filled with many unique and great pokemon! The team I think I will go for is: Infernape, Togekiss, Gastrodon, Magnezone, Weavile and Garchomp.
Missing the best team: All three forms of Wormadam. Twice!
I have never expected that
I used to have a weird attachment to wormadam. Idk why I can't think of anything that would make them stand out other than the form change
Burmy tho Slap an Eviolite on them
12:23 Mikey: "I also noticed There is No Groud Type" Torterra: "I'm Not Even Here Baby I'm Just A Hallucination."
Torterra: ignore the biome tortoise behind the curtain.
Mismagius is a good Pokemon to use against normal and fighting types, and you will fight a lot of fighting types (not to mention it can learn psybeam).
I think you forget it can learn psychic which is a bit better than psybeam
i love coming back to this video and seeing how many people wanted togekiss....not being able to find out cynthias garchomp knew poison jab until it was toooo late XD
Mikey: "I also noticed There is No Ground Type" Torterra: "What am I to you?" Me: "Its okay he said he much prefers Infernape over us and he called your type combo weird." Me & Torterra: *Silently cries to ourselves*
He picked turtwig for his first sinnoh playthrough
Yes Your type combo weird
Torterra is my fave poke so I name him turt every time
I like how he is more concerned of the fact that grunty boy has no shirt on, than that he just stole his deodorant
Perfect
I went rare spawn grand underground hunting a few days ago and since I’m pretty new to the pokemon community, I didn’t know how good togekiss was! I’m currently in the elite four (I died from Bertha and my switch shut down during my rematch, right before the psychic member) and debating on fixing my team so watching this and the thoughts on it is very helpful ^^
First time I went underground I got a shiny gastrodon
I got my altaria in the grand underground as a swablu and it was the mvp of my battle against Cynthia with perish song
Infernape, Luxray, and Staraptor are the ones I keep in my party if it is a Sinnoh game. In my opinion I think Infernape, Luxray and Staraptor are a great trio because they look badass
"I also notice there is no ground type." *torterra cries in a faraway corner.*

I think I did pretty good with my team, only having the overlap for fighting. Having empoleon, lopunny, absol, altaria, luxray, and staraptor. Yes, altaria. you can get a swablu from the underground pretty early if you are lucky enough
I did that and altaria beat Cynthia’s Garchomp with perish song. I got that idea from a friend
Yoo, great video and I wanted to ask if you could do this for gen 3. More specifically emerald ruby and sapphire (no remakes)
"Hoping cynthina will still give us the egg like in platinum if she doesnt we riot!" *words so true, cant dissargee*
so... we riot?
She does not BUT Togepi can be found in the Grand Underground

@@drthmik True, but he did say if Cynthia doesn’t give a Togepi egg, so…
Got a togepi with seance grace and + special attack - sp defences before second gym only tuck 2 hrs trying to get a good ralts
I'm surprised nobody said Blissey or Chansey, I recently had one, and they are very good tanks if you build them fast and you get the egg pretty early on. My only problem is finding good attack moves, but it has more moves and stuff, I can see it being very useful in the new games
Blissey and Chansey aren't Fairy-types though???
Pokemon like Blisssey, Lickilicky can be good but I want Pokemon people hardly use like the ones below. Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Team Most uncommon (Final Evo Sinnoh) Pokemon Team Infernape (Fire, Fighting) Vespiquen (Bug, Flying) Roserade (Grass, Poison) Bronzong(Steel, Psychic) Gastrodon(Warer,Ground) Froslasss(Ice, Ghost) Honorable and could still be choices. Blissey (Normal) Togekisss (Fairy, Flying) Cherrim (Grass) Rhyperior(Rock, Ground) Kricketune(Bug) Ambipom, Lickilicky (Normal) Dusknoir (Ghost) Mamoswine (Ground, Ice) or even 1 of 3 commanders (Normal Purugly, Dark Poison Skuntank, and Poison Fighting Toxicroak).
@@snowland7978 Uh, Infernape was definitely the most common starter.
@@thewanderingmistnull2451 Though Pokemon is opinion-based whether it is uncommon or not, the most commonly used Pokemon was Piplup as 40% of people use it, most starters have around a 1/3 for each, they are not the most uncommon part of a game.
Idk if tms are reusable or not otherwise u can use toxic + soft boil for chansey.
Justice for sonic the mango, at least empoleon is a bird meanwhile this guy is prancing around on dogs, bearded dears, moist bears, and soggy fish
I love how confident Mikey is he isn't scared of showing his body but some youtubers won't even show their faces
We need a video on Mikey's second channel of 'Beating Pokémon Brillaint Diamond with the only 10/10 team from my 'I Rate Your Teams for Brilliant Diamond Shining Pearl''
Or a video saying 'pokemon that you probably like that I hate' like the opposite of the one before
I agree
Great Idea!
Gold idea!
Agreable
"Strong Pokemon, weak Pokemon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favourites" and for this reason i will go with my ORIGINAL team from platinum when i was a child Raichu - used copy of the game so he was just chillin Staraptor - My favorite pokemon of all time tied with wigglytuff Vaporeon - my first eeveelution Jolteon - always paired with vaporeon Gastrodon - great boi (in the remakes i might replace with empoleon. since it was used copy i didnt select a starter) Lucario - he was the last i was training he never even got past level 30 i think lol
Wigglytuff kinda slaps ngl
The Boi love wigglytuff and blissey.
why box your starter though
@@kallixo i might replace gastrodon with empoleon but it all depends (i never had a starter when i was a kid cuz the last owner released it or something)
I'm sorry you bought a used copy and just went with whatever the previous owner had been doing instead of resetting the game??
I'm not one to plan my teams before going into a game, I just use whatever seems best in the moment, with no 100% "The Team" until I'm at the league. That being said, I did enjoy seeing other peoples' teams!

@@nonstickpansexual not very competitive. So what are Stab moves?
STAB is same stat attack bonus. If a bidoof uses tackle and a chimchar uses tackle, bidoof may deal more damage as bidoof is normal and tackle is normal too and so it gets stab

In shield and sword, 2 drifblims in one team ( and very tanky pokemon along side them ) is OP in battles where abilities can be used. as long as you have a lot a lot of revives
In the Missmagius team, you would use her if they switch a fighting type into weavile as that is a 4x weakness swapped for an immunity to fighting
Also ghost is better offensive coverage

13:39 7/10 Thanks for rating my team! I mean for all it’s worth…I truly didn’t even think about Garchomp when adding Froslass to the team. But I’m glad to know I might have inspired Mikey to use one as well! The new Garchomp killer! Mine will be named Yuki: Based on the first part of Froslass’s Japanese name, “Yukimenoko” meaning “Snow”, and Yuki from Fruits Basket❄️ Enjoy BDSP everyone! Happy playing
Ur team is great man I really like how u chose sm underrated mone
Honestly If I get one of the games I think I might use that team. It's a very good team.
Froslass deserves all of the love! It's my personal favorite pokemon, and she's always been my little dragon slayer. Even after fairy type became a thing, I still prefer to use Froslass. I usually name mine Kurara-onna (the Romanized name for the Japanese Icicle Woman)or Shiro-hime (white princess).
Lucky Bas- i mean Bisharp.I have a lucky Bisharp.
I'm still trying to figure out a 6th member as I tend to have a starter trio in my team, but basically all of the Sinnoh fire types aren't gonna work for various reasons. The only that might, Rotom Heat, isn't really one that I care much about either. I did come up with a Mismagius as backup though that one's probably redundant offensively with Weavile one the planned team as well.
I can vouch for Togekiss, used one on my team for SP and he was easily the MVP especially against Cynthia.
Froslass is a beast as well. Mine got Timid nature 😂
I beat Cynthia's team with only kricketune, setting up on the spiritomb and it had metronome item and the moves double team, swords dance, substitute and x-scissor mwahahaha. Super powerful x-scissor and I outsped four and and man double team is nice.
Best Pokémon against nearly everything: Cradily
My Gyarados easily negated Garchomp's powers with repeatedly dropping the attack
Here is an easy win use dragon Dance gyrados
The team I beat the league with was: Willow(tortera) Ability:overgrowth Moves: Earthquake Bullet seed Leaf storm Victory(luxray) Ability:intimidate Moves: Thunderbolt Volt switch Thief Crunch Mismagius (escape) Ability:levitate Moves: Dazzling gleam Shadow ball Destiny bond Psychic Birb(togekiss) Ability:serene grace Moves: Air slash Dazzling gleam Psychic Double team Anima(lucario) Ability:steadfast Moves: Aura sphere Close combat Meteor mash Psychic Chaos(palkia) Ability:pressure Moves: Spatial rend Surf Ancient power Dragon claw

Stop being mean
I liked how you also included ability and there move set
11:40 it talks about somebody using rotom if you can get it early,and I’m sorry to say it but in the game it’s super post game first you have to go with Cheryl and after doing that you can find a mansion at night in the mansion you can find this TV which is being taken over by Rotom I don’t remember exactly how to get it but I remember that you had to do something really difficult and just crazy stuff in order to get it so they should go with a different water type like floatzel
Tip: Gallade can set up trick room for torterra to deal with most of those pesky faster water types more easily, and since that team has 3 pokemon in Torterra, drifblim and Bastiodon that are slow bois, it covers them nicely in other situations too
Yea but the high base power physical grass move is wood hammer that also do serious recoil damage and torterra is a physical attacker , there arent any good physical grass attack before that , since its gen 8 maybe it will have 80 base power seed bomb. Yea i forgot its probably gen 8 level up set.
Sorry but i think you are intense in knowledge for pokemon
You could also give gallade leafblade to deal with the water types

Sir MandJTV dude guy! Can you do another one of these? :D These are awesome!
Now that I have the Grand Underground to help me, I'm showing the Elite 4's Flint how it's done and doing a mono Fire run.
What about a “If every gym leader was dual typed” video? Thought it would be cool to see gym leaders with two specialties.
Especially for gen 1, when dark, steel, and fairy didn't exist. Actually that would've been a neat idea for a game, especially in ORAS or Let's Go PE since they went deep into the alternate timelines. Instead of being grass and sleepy Eirika is a fairy specialist and is all peppy, maybe Giovanni isn't the gym leader for the 8th gym, instead it's Karen, Agatha's granddaughter who becomes the 4th member of the elite 4 in Johto games. Surge is a steel type because they saved him in the war instead of electric Pokemon, so he's got a Magneton (...or Magnezone) as his signature. Blaine was saved by a fire Pokemon who he thought was Moltres in the original games, but what if instead it was Galarian Moltres, so he's a dark or flying type user instead of fire (though that means no Karen, unless she was a fire gym leader because her main Houndoom is fire dark, and yes this also means some Johto Pokemon should be in it OF WHICH LET'S GO SHOULD'VE DONE, FRLG did it). I also left feedback for BDSP back when the 1st trailer came out, because it looks like a copy paste DP (so far still does outside of small touches). One suggestion I made was maybe Flint is the 8th gym leader while Volkner took his spot in the elite 4, because we got there too late, or their roles just swapped because they are best friends and rivals, Volkner just beat him to the elite 4 in some alternate timeline. That also means Sunnyshore isn't as advanced since Volkner doesn't have time to tinker and isn't home as much.
i would love to see a ground/fire or fire/ghost
Loomian legacy:

That’s what I was thinking
Never lost it!

When did he lost it tho?
Man I wish I had that beard for myself
I know this is old but I came up with a team I think would get a 10/10: Infernape, Togekiss, Bastiodon, Roserade, Weavile, and Gastrodon. No more than 2 weaknesses to a single type, resists or immunities for everything, a mix of speed and bulk with answers for Garchomp, and STAB coverage for everything in the game. The only potential issues I can see with it are requiring 2 Shiny Stones + a Razor Claw, and Bastiodon is Pearl exclusive (I would’ve used Aggron since it’s cooler but that’s postgame). Also Weavile is lategame so it’s not around for Fantina where it’d be really helpful.

Togekiss can learn Aura Sphere, which can crush the steel types, especially since Togekiss is fast and a great Special Attacker.
Yes but as a fairy type in later games, it is also weak to steel so while it will most definately outspeed most, if not all steel types, if it get paralysed for a turn or misses or is confused or it against something with study of anything that can prevent it from OHKOing it's probably gunna get OHKO'd right back against steels... I know it's pretty tanky but steel types can hit like a truck. Also a lot of steel types can also learn rock moves which it is also weak too.
@@kitsu1379 why would rock be important? Sure its super effective but Steel type gets STAB so it does way more than rock does
@@Pinecrystal Just meant it's another type Togekiss is weak too is all
@@kitsu1379 I know that but im asking.....ok never mind
@@Pinecrystal Do you mean why I mentioned it with the steel types? It's coz a lot of steel types moves, at least in the games I've played, tend to be learnt at pretty high levels so they're less of a threat at earlier levels, however rock type moves are pretty common not only on rock types but on steel types, ground types, fighting types and so on. I dunno if the switch games changed that and had more early level steel moves, if they have then just ignore me mentioning rock types.
I haven't played a Sinnoh game in a while tbh. When i did, i chose Piplup, but after rethinking over the last decade or so, I'd like to try it with Infernape, Floatzel, Roserade, Luxray, Staraptor, and Lucario

I'm currently playing through BDSP (again). But this time I have Shining Pearl on my normal Switch, and Brilliant Diamond on my Switch OLED. Here are my teams: SP: Infernape, Alakazam, Gengar, Gastrodon (West Sea), Togetic, and Drapion. BD: Infernape, Cherrim, Skuntank, Golduck, Garchomp, and Mamoswine. (I know Infernape, Luxray, Crobat are same, and I used Crobat and Luxray in my last playthrough. But Infernape is the one Sinnoh starter I haven't used, and I felt like I needed an Electric-type and a Flying-type on my team for both playthroughs.) I basically tried to go for Pokemon I haven't used before. (Getting Alakazam and Gengar was pretty easy, since I have both games on 2 separate consoles.) Edit: I realized that with Infernape, there was no need for Crobat. (Added Crobat back into the party.) Edit 2: Just recently caught Dialga/Palkia. Didn't add them to the party since I have already have used them before. Edit 3: I know Garchomp and Gastrodon are the same, but I have never used either of them before. So now, 5 of the 6 are the same between both games. Edit 4: Changed my teams to ones that I think would be best suited to take on the Elite 4. Edit 5: Beat the Pokemon League and got the National Dex in both games.

Just be sure to give the team as much move coverage as possible. Friendly reminder since grass has at least 5 weaknesses.

Poison is pretty awful in Sinnoh. Team Galactic members mainly use Steel and Poison types, there’s Roark, Fantina, Byron, Bertha, Lucian, most of Cynthia’s team and a smattering of onesies and twosies like Wake’s Quagsire, Maylene’s Lucario, etc.

@@D4VID9724 offensively anyway. Defensively, it’s normally decent when paired with another type, but Sinnoh is quite unkind with the wide number of steel, poison, ground and psychic types.
Mikey: I also noticed there's no ground type Torterra: am I a joke to you?
10:04 togekiss gets grass knot for both ground and water types both are generally quite heavy Snorlax also gets rockslide for flying types which use his physical attack so there we go problem solved

I know everyone will agree that out of every single KZheadr, Michael is the only one that we can sit through and watch the sponsorships… even if it’s raid shadow legend (ok maybe not..)
“This is a team of my favorite Sinnoh Pokémon UWU” “Time for me to be mean..!”
Wait, people actually plan their teams? I thought you were meant to go through and just pick up Pokémon that you liked instead of planning
Wait, people just pick up Pokemon instead of planning? I can't imagine going through a game without a team plan ahead-of-time.

I wanted to say my team...because it fits with the theme of the video. guess i'd do it here. (and I have also never played through Sinnoh before) Infernape, Staraptor, Roserade, Luxray, Gastrodon, and either Clefable or Weavile. (I wasn't sure which one would have better coverage. Plus I have never used either of these two before, and I wanted to see how i'd do with it.) Also, yes I know I am using 4 of the generic 6. I only dont have Garchomp because I forgot about Wayward cave lol.
Speaking of 4x weaknesses, I was doing my 8th gym for Pokémon scarlet on my nuzlocke and 5/6 of my team was weak to ice and my only fire type was crushed by beartic’s earth power or earthquake so I had to sac my Tropius just for a safe switch for my fire type : Houndoom.
