Top 10 STRONGEST Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet

The fact that GameFreak finally gave delibird a power-up but made it too strong until it got banned is kinda sad and funny at the same time

Palafin: I feel so weak… Hero Palafin: POWER! UNLIMITED POWER!

I have an Iron Bundle on my team, and it is so much fun to use in Pokemon battles because I have it use Freeze Dry and Water Pulse for STAB, Drill Peck for coverage against Fighting, and Flip Turn for when it needs to get out of a situation. It also has Jolly nature and Booster Energy to make it faster in battles, and its TeraType is Ice in order to increase Freeze Dry's power.

6:00, roaring moon isnt the only paradox with 590 base stat total, Iron valiant has it as well

I love Tatsugiri as a “glass cannon” type pokemon. High SP Attack, Very fun to play with throughout the story, and the fact that it disguises itself as a nigiri sushi is amazing! 😂

Let's appreciate how far delibird has come

my go-to is gholdengo. that ability is just too bonkers good to pass up. I'm a bit sad that Glimmora didn't make the list but I'm glad it was on the honorable mentions. I usually don't bother with hazard setters but Glimmora is just so fun to use.

On the contrary, Palafin as a playthrough Pokemon has been clutch for me personally and I'd recommend it. I may be bias because it works a lot like Meowth with U-Turn which I use often, but it's very useful at the head of the party to type check the first pokemon an opponent uses, dealing some damage while safely switching out early for a better type coverage as well as fulfilling the task to costume change for later.

I always get hyped when I see a mystic umbrella notification

Gohldengo blocks Mortal Spin as well, which functions just like Rapid Spin, but poisons instead of raising speed

I agree with most of this list, but your definitely underestimating Chi-Yu and Annihilape should be on this list too.

I love how Cyclizar has Shed Skin it recovers from Paralysis really fast. 🤗

Great list. Will say that I’d put Maushold as an honourable mention just for making me laugh.

About Gholdengo blocking Defog and Rapid Spin, it also blocks Glimmora's signature move Mortal Spin due to being a steel-type. I don't know if that's too relevant, but still.

Here's a point about Houndstone and Last Respects: It counts a Pokemon being revived and KO'ed again as 2 separate KOs for the boost. In terms of raw power, it caps at a blistering 5050, or 100 KOs.

In my opinion, Chi Yu should not be an honorable mention but on the list. 100 base speed is, while not outstanding, still very good and thanks to its ability and the high Special attack it can easily make use of a Choice Scarf and go to town. This is very dangerous, especially with Dark Pulse having a 20% flinch chance, which can be devastating if it happens even once, since this thing doesn't allow you to take hits and waste a turn, otherwise it'll crush you. You can also just as easily run Choice Specs so nothing can switch into you since base 100 speed is still pretty fast. You can go even beyond that and run a Nasty Plot set, which can easily snowball or blow big holes when used correctly. This thing got banned in Nat Dex OU, that accentuates this things power even more

Underrated opinion even tho it doesn’t have regenerator I think orthworm is the better shed tail-er because since he sometimes slower you can successfully have your next Pokémon keep the substitute. For example since you’re fast with cyclizar, if you use shed tail, the opposing Pokémon could be using an attacking move so when you send out the next Pokémon they would basically have no subs. With a slower and bulkier shed tailer the next Pokémon can hold the shed tail for another move

Looking forward to the best team video! :)

Great Tusk also gets Rapid Spin, so it can remove hazards while boosting it's speed

Now we just need a top 10 underrated Pokemon from this gen.
