How is there no Grass type punching move yet? There’s no way the guy who named Overquil didn’t realize you can call it “Tropical Punch”.
Also, the reason it states that moves like Triple Arrow were changed is because they were in Legends Arceus.
Lastly, I feel like your criticism of some of the attack names was odd. Victory Dance doesn’t describe what it does, but neither do Dragon Dance or Quiver Dance. Victory Dance’s name is based on the Pokémon that learns it (Hisuian Liligant). Just like Dragon Dance describes how most of the Pokémon that learn it are Dragon type, or dragon-like.
Thank for linking properly my Sheet, I appreciate it! 😄 People often tend to just blabber over it without givint it to the people to check for themselves. Glad it was useful to you 😁
There's indeed moves which describes a 'critical hit' in the description, without any added critical-rate in reality. Lunar Blessing isn't an Heal Bell, it's only for on field Pokémon. Take Heart is for Manaphy, but he's not in the game. The Expert Belt ability is Neuroforce, and is indeed unique to Ultra-Necrozma. Snowstorm is only boosting Defense for Ice-type.
last respects is getting banned so quickly. how can a 300 base power move be legal? even the strongest z moves, which could only be used once per battle and took a held item slot, were only 200.
Torch Song scorched the mic soo hard that BKC's voice ended up getting drowned like he was stuck in the ocean amazing. I didn't know pokemon moves could work in real life too.
damn what is gamefreak smoking? it's like let's design a new move hm it's gonna be fighting type, have 130 base power, 100% accuracy and deals an additional 50 points of damage if your opponent has ever eaten food in their life
If Tera types somehow don’t get banned, can you imagine how crazy National dex is gonna be?? Megas, z moves, AND Teras???(assuming ofc dynamax would still be banned)
Idc about spoilers does anybody know if paradox pokemon’s names are ACTUALLY what they’re called? Like is it actually called Great Tusks, or is it called past Donphan or just Donphan, something else? I’ve been tryna learn the new pokemons names and I’ve gotten a decent grip on connecting names with what each Pokémon is already but I haven’t really studied the paradox Pokémon names cause I figured they were just code names but when lists refer to them as names like “Great Tusks” it has me really curious. I figured it was like ultra beasts where they had UB-01 type stuff.
14:42 I honestly never even thought of the fact fairies have been hindered in gen 9 between SV AND PLA(I know this is gen 8 but gen 9 is when hisuian forms can be used competitively) there’s Sneasler and Overqwil with their signature moves to name a few, and I’ve seen a lot of Pokémon are getting gunk shot now.
Pray for my man Weavile 🙏🏻 losing Knock Off and Triple Axel, he’s gonna go back to a lower tier which honestly he was one of those Pokémon where if the opponent had them they’d fuck me up but I couldn’t use them myself as effectively, but I hope when dlcs come out he can get something back as well as some of the others mons. Game hasn’t even come out yet but I’m still not over the fact home transfer moms can’t keep their old moves, mainly Pokémon that has knock off, toxic, defog to name a few, don’t even get me started on how much Rillaboom was destroyed, also another Pokémon opponents used much better than me than when I used it on others. Not gonna say I’m too sad for the fact they used it better on me than me on them, but still sad nonetheless. I hate seeing Pokémon falling from glory.
BKC Glaive Rush sounds like we play it similarly to Gen 1 Hyper Beam no? Awesome finisher move— less powerful by 30 but much more reliable (100 acc, Dragon instead of Normal) and less punishable (if they predict and switch in Steel Type to live, I can still switch out). Seems like a nice spam option. Sweepers might prefer Outrage, but Choiced Wallbreakers would probably prefer having this (alongside something like Dragon Claw or Scale Shot).
So they nerf Scald by making it inaccessible to a ton of Pokemon… and then proceed to introduce a shit ton of moves with unholy secondary effects and chance to proc them lmfao
At 8:23, doesn’t signal beam not exist in the games anymore? It got removed in sword and shield but I’m not sure if they brought it back, probably not tho?
4:20 important for stone axe is that its from cleavor, which has the sharpness ability, which boosts cutting moves, including stone axe. We don't know if the boost is 1.5 like strong jaw or 1.2 like iron fist but either way it makes the move even scarier Same goes for ceaseless edge with samurott
a lot of these moves have precedent you didnt mention: double shock and burn up, trailblaze and flame charge, pounce and lunge/strugglebug. also i'm pretty sure cresselia's is a copy of jungle healing, not heal bell plus recovery
Hi BKC, I had a question and wondered if you could answer it (maybe even do a video on it, since you did one each for abomasnow and heatran in adv). How good would ttar be if it were steel/dark instead of rock/dark? Keeping its movepool, ability, stats, but only the typing changed
mic accidentally unplugs at 40:36 but it's fixed at 41:29. spreadsheet in video: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ox3SwLFTP0ZfOj-O-1ijn8Im8kU0QnjNyi3AJ6a5feM/edit#gid=353833762
Kind of a spoiler coming up:
9:06 the Hisui Arcanine form gets Rock Head as an ability, so the recoil of Flare Blitz is no problem. Oh and it also gets Head Smash
Besides the actual analysis, I like that you also attempt to review the names of the moves as well.
Population Bomb would work well with loaded dice
Based on these descriptions, these moves better have some banger animations.
How is there no Grass type punching move yet?

Why is Headlong Rush a fist move?
lion galeforce wall clears
By the way, Bitter Malice was a Hex that had a chance to inflict Frostbite.
I guess they wanted to change it to Snarl for Physical attackers.
Were you thinking of Conkeldurr? Hariyama doesn't have Iron Fist, it has Guts, Thick Fat & Sheer Force
last respects is getting banned so quickly. how can a 300 base power move be legal? even the strongest z moves, which could only be used once per battle and took a held item slot, were only 200.
@BKC my friend you forgot legends arceus exists.
„You can’t spam this move“
Does he know?
Why is gamefreak so timid with giving electric types good physical moves? So strange.
Scovillain? They finally did the pepper Fire/Grass mon, right?
arcanine getting rock head + flare blitz and head smash is gonna be so good in UU
hell yea, I've been watching the SS video lately and it's really fun to hear your opinion after 3 years, I'm glad to see this
triple arrows doesnt hit thrice
none of the moves mention the word groovy
Btw medicham gets close combat now, no more missing HJK
Talking about shed tail “ok so you can’t spam this move” I mean maybe with orthworm but cyclizard is gonna be a menace with this and regen
So… am I supposed to assume that BKC has been living under a rock to not know the slightest thing about the Hisuians since January of 2022?
Is that part of some channel lore I'm not aware of?
Can't wait to miss stealth rock now
Torch Song scorched the mic soo hard that BKC's voice ended up getting drowned like he was stuck in the ocean amazing. I didn't know pokemon moves could work in real life too.
yeah it'll be real fun to ban terastalizing
Can't wait for you to go over the new Pokemon in the next video
damn what is gamefreak smoking? it's like let's design a new move hm it's gonna be fighting type, have 130 base power, 100% accuracy and deals an additional 50 points of damage if your opponent has ever eaten food in their life
The phrasing of lunar blessing makes it sound like it's just jungle healing, so not nearly as useful as heal bell.
I think "Salt Cure" is exactly what the community has been needing for a good long time
If Tera types somehow don’t get banned, can you imagine how crazy National dex is gonna be?? Megas, z moves, AND Teras???(assuming ofc dynamax would still be banned)

BKC always got the most fire film references

A lot of those moves were in Pokemon Legends Arceus.

The typeface is so slay 💅💅💅

So glad to have you back, Speed. The charity match was incredibly wonderful. Huge W. <3
Btw, arcanine hissui its really better with flareblitz cause he has rock head. He also has headsmash and wild charge, funny mon.
I hope Ambipom gets that 10 hit attack, I would consider running Wide Lens or Band…
BKC: “At least Stone Axe isn’t as powerful as Stone Edge!”
Me: “He doesn’t know that Kleavor’s ability sharpness gives it a 1.5 times boost, meaning stone axe is 97.5 bp… 💀”
At 8:23, doesn’t signal beam not exist in the games anymore? It got removed in sword and shield but I’m not sure if they brought it back, probably not tho?
4:20 important for stone axe is that its from cleavor, which has the sharpness ability, which boosts cutting moves, including stone axe. We don't know if the boost is 1.5 like strong jaw or 1.2 like iron fist but either way it makes the move even scarier
Same goes for ceaseless edge with samurott
