17:58 the WHAT world championship?
FINALLY
holy smokes, he got banned after ONE HOUR?? That's insane
Wake up babe, new FSG banger just dropped
Give it Soul Dew 2.0, Soul Dew 3.0 is mid
Now that you mention it, I'm only now realizing Latios learning Memento might be a reference to Pokémon Heros…
And he actually uses it in niche setups too.
I am lucky enough to have Adamant Latios, not knowing the best save spot is the room after beating the Houen Champion to get the Nature you want in Pokémon Emerald.
Everyone who wants a remake of Bisharp/kingambit video like here
Seeing Tobias not only had Darkrai but also Latios made me wonder what the rest of his team looked like. There's no way he has two legendary Pokemon, then something like a Bidoof, Starly, Shinx, and Kricketot. I assume he's packing heat for the rest of his team too!
how can you talk about Latios without first talk about Soul dew?
I wanna see Soul Dew in OU in gen 9.
9:01 This was the worst deal in the history of bad deals.
it was awesome knowing Latios got a world championship under his belt. Great to see it in gen 7 and even gen 8 vgc!
Kinda ridiculous that a Pokémon like this is in UUBL all because of its tools being weaker. Just goes to show how insane nerfs can be sometimes.
I'm a Simple man. When I see "How GOOD was Swoobat ACTUALLY?", I will click.
Obviously the next video will be its other half Latias!!!!!!!
I think it speaks for OU's historical lack of foresight when the higher-ups were HUNGERING to add Latios onto their tier as early as Gen 4, even when it was bloody obvious it was way too strong.
Latias better
I want them to bring back the old soul dew. They might as well if they aren't bringing back Mega Evolutions
Why did Game Freak nerf soul dew? With all the new threats in gen 7, 8 and now 9 the lati twins really needed their soul dew to keep up
It's been 84 years!!!!
I think this should be titled “how GREAT was latios actually?”
It's interesting on how Gen 7 became favourable to Mega Latios. Still, for it to differ from its base form more, I would swap its ability for Speed Boost.
My favorite memory with Latios is when Mega Latios was in UU for a week in gen 7. You could run 0 spa timid and 2hko the whole tier 😂
Got to love the Outro part while giving a shoutout to Joey in the agency of his favorite mon for sure!
But I didn’t expect it to have this amount of success going for it since only catching it post game and such.
Unpopular oppinion: Latios was the main reason for the introduction of the fairy type. No other Pokémon in OU has had a move so spammable as Latios's Draco Meteor in Gen 5. It was the ultimate: "Press the purple button to kill something."
My 2 favorite dragons next to Rayquaza. I loved Hoenn so much
Name a more iconic duo than latios and draco meteor <3
Screenwriters: Let's give Tobias a Latios and a Darkrai
Also Screenwriters: Let's have Cynthia absolutely curbstomp him
Pokemon Heroes had a pretty amazing setting. Story could be better, the whole town defense thing destroying the actual town, doesn’t make a ton of sense.
i forgot how silly Mega Latios used to look like
also never forget Latios gave his life & saved Altomare so Latias could romance Ash Ketchum, what a bro
Love this Pokemon. They should buff Soul Dew again, maybe make it even stronger than it was before to keep up with Gen 9 power creep.
The OG Draco Dropper.
6:50 That's two things.
How good was cacnea please
How do you get the background footage from games like Pokemon Stadium, Pokemon XD, and Pokemon Battle Revolution?
Bronzong please!
I love how like the video in the background has like a solid 5 minutes of nothing but draco meteors landing on everything.
I'm going to say the same thing I said in the Latias video: any "competitive" gen 3 Latios is invalid due to the games having a glitch where all its IVs are always set to 0 except for HP which is 10.
Another reason why I can't stand Smogon.
Just GOOD? Why not GREAT?
So there was total of 91 draco meteors
