    Insane development but morpeko apparently doesnt get nuzzle??? Garbage mon 😪
  • @Gr1lled
    Urshifus gimmick is making you cry
  • Morpeko casually gatekeeping one of the best physical electric moves and it still sucks at it
  • @simpdemarie3
    Miraidon gimmick is deleting ur entire team with some funny glasses and hat
  • Incineroars gimmick gives you a 98.54% chance to rage and break your controller
  • @novazero9461
    I like how Eiscue's highest stat is his defense which literally doesn't matter because he doesn't take dmg if he gets hit physically and immediately changes form afterwards anyways.
  • @HuneeBruh
    "Cramorants whole identity is spitting on that thang" is CRAZY work bro holy
  • "YO IT'S THE THROAT GOAT" & "That's because Cramorant's whole identity is spitting on that thang." - Moxie Boosted Edit: I'd probably rework Comatose to also work in like a built-in leftovers. Since it's always sleeping and Rest recovers HP, it can just, recover a bit of HP at the end of each turn... It'd still be mid tho.
  • @gaph-and-a-half
    Honestly the simplest way to fix Golisopod's Emergency Exit is to make it so it triggers at the end of the turn and not right away. So just word it like "The Pokémon, sensing danger, switches out at the end of the turn if its HP dropped to half or less."
  • @thekirbyguy4576
    I feel like a good amount of gimmick Pokemon were made purely from a single player campaign standpoint as interesting bosses to work around. Wishiwashi, for instance, was a Totem, and Cramorant was used in Hop's team, Morpeko's on Marnie's team, Guzma runs Golisopod, while Eiscue is on Melony's team.
  • Flutter Mane’s gimmick is that whenever you say it’s your favourite Pokemon, people deny it by saying its because its “broken” or “too OP”
  • Annihilape’s gimmick is punching you irl with enough force to evaporate a small city after getting hit twice
  • @SMBZYT
    Chi Yu’s gimmick is missing heat wave
  • @Cochu
    Ogerpon's gimmick is crime
  • 10:15 “Pokémon you probably forgot existed” It’s actually my laptop screensaver. My poor boy.
  • @Garvant_
    Golisipod is the only pokemon i think that would benefit IMMENSELY from having inner focus, no intimidate and cant be flinched its perfect for it
  • @Axelpvz2030
    if gollisopor swicthed out AT THE END OF THE TURN rather than right after it hits 50% it would be a great ability, a free switch in is valuable in singles and doubles alike, gollisopod tanks a hit, does something then lets a partner come in
  • @jjtheenton
    I was waiting for the Kamala joke at the end. I was not disappointed.
  • @asierx7047
    Gen 7 had SO many gimmick water types and Araquanid was the only one to pull through 😔
