    Farigiraf was a huge evolution up for VGC. Trick room setter that blocks priority. Made it to the world championship finals in its first year. Went from being a mascot at a defunct Toys R Us to a worlds runner up.

    Archaludon impressed me tbh. Like, I never imagined, that they will seriously give an evolution to a mon with a BST of 535. Having Archaludon means, that mons of the same BST range, like Lapras could also get an evo.

    Primeape's evolution in Annihilape was one of the coolest surprises we got to in SV. It's design is awesome, its move Rage Fist is so broken and fun to play with and just overall a much welcomed upgrade for the Mankey line. Also find it cool how its Evo was sorta teased with one of Primeape's SM Pokedex Entries

    Hearing a poison type being referred to as having a good offensive type is surreal. But yeah poison fighting is only resisted by poison and ghost, and hits a lot of types for super effective including fairy or steel types. Usually I think of poison as a defensive type.

    HUGE fan of Scizor. Scyther was cool, Scizor is cooler. Don't care how good it is in a battle.

    Armor Tail Farigraf has been seeing a ton of use during Scarlet and Viilet, probably more then it's line has seen for years. Bisharp was only ever praised for it's unique typing back in the day, and not much else, but it's evolution it's Kingambit has shot it up the ranks into top 3, that's incredible in my eyes

    I remember playing firered a long time ago with primeape as my mvp. It was adamant nature, was extrememly fast and hit crazy hard (cross chop went crazy). When I found out that primeape got a new evolution and became a GHOST FIGHTING TYPE (a type we only saw with marshadow), I was ecstatic! Annihilape is and will probably for a long time stay as my favorite cross gen evolution of all time

    My theory for sneasler going extinct is that it was hunted by hisuian braviary and over time to survive it gained a type perfect to fight braviary off

    I never got into competitive, but when GS first came out, seeing so many evolutions for the first gen pokemon blew my 10 year old mind
  • @antoniopriego5660
    Kingdra is an over the top improvement to Seadra, in stats and ability. I'm sure that people would have noticed it much more if it wouldn't have happened in such an early generation. Just imagine if Kingdra had been added in Gen 4 of 5: an untiered Pokémon suddenly gets +100 base stats, dragon type and Swift Swim and becomes a top rain abuser

    Thumbnail game continues to be on point🫡
  • @RBGolbat
    I liked the video, but if you’re going to talk about stats as often as you do, it would be helpful to show the before and after like you did with Dusclops/Dusknoir at the end.
  • @martins8786
    Imagine Shuckle getting an evolution. Being able to use eviolite would be hilarious and infuriating, if not just down right broken
  • @sparktaylor8489
    A really good video! a strong start to the new year and new upload schedule! But I do have to say some of the sound effects seem a tad too loud they can overpower your voice at times, however I also gotta give props for them not being too obnoxious and constant, they're not being used every 3 seconds they're used when needed and that's good.
  • @lucygirl1111
    counter point in favor of dusknoir it gets character development in mystery dungeon explores of sky
  • @nerdyfalco408
    Murkrow wasn't that bulky with eviolite. In fact it was two shot by almost any relevant move anyway so it ran focus sash just as consistently.
  • @utatanepiko7087
    Dusknoir was only created because, let's be honest, imagine Dusclops as the leader of one of the antagonistic teams that tried to stop the protags from changing history in the Mystery Dungeons games. It would be a lot more silly if it was Dusclops than the intimidating Dusknoir XD
