Fixing Kalos' Elite 4

👋Hey everyone Im typing this from a convention hall so I'll keep it brief! Thanks for watching da vid and feel free to comment any of your own team reworks for the kalos elite 4! Have a good day!

One thing I love about Gen 6 is that it continues the “Pick any Elite 4 Member” Battle Option that Gen 5 started. All Elite 4 members are supposed to be near equals so it feels weird when the first 4 Gens made it where there was a definitive weakest and strongest Elite 4 member. Strong and Weak should be subjective based on the trainer not by levels.

Honestly I just wish mega altaria existed in XY, it fits drasna vibe so much, it's a cute and calm but still capable

I like your new interpretation of Diantha’s team. Diantha’s original theme is based having the highest stat of every Kalos Mon introduced that Gen. Hawlucha: Speed, Gourgeist: Defense, Goodra: Special Defense, Aurourus: HP, Tyrantrum: Attack, and Mega Gardevoir: Special Attack. Additionally, they’re all loosely based on movie genres too. Hawlucha: Action, Gourgeist: Horror, Tyrantrum: Kaiju, Aurourus: Classic, Goodra: Kids, M-Gardevoir: Princess

The elite 4 not having Megas will never make sense to me this gen underutilized megas

It honestly annoys me that they didn't make any Gen 6 Megas because that means giving all of the E4 megas means not being able to give them new mons as their aces. They're stuck with old megas for their aces.

Mega Blastoise on Siebold's team like in that mini series is Mega Based!

Can't forget drasna. She's G to the I to the L to the F

Kinda wish Siebold had kept Clawitzer, one thing I really liked about the Kalos E4 is that at least they use two new Pokémon each, which is a lot given how fee new Pokémon there were in gen 6... Adding a mega on top of two new ones would make them a lot better I'd say, but Clawitzer specifically also fits him too well with him being a fancy french chef, y'know, lobster...

Lumoise Trainer Zac, or Zactoshi should see this. He made a new team video on Gen 6 a few years ago. Funnily enough, he had a Pangoro in Diantha's team as her bodyguard.

Maybe if Pokémon anime Diantha went with this team instead, Leon's Rillaboom probably wouldn't have swept. She might even have won in the Masters 8 of Pokémon Journey.

personally i think mega ampharos fits drasna a little bit better than garchomp. i’d have clemont’s mega be mega manectric instead so she could have ampharos

Me, not having played this games: Yes I agree in everything

13:05 i didn't know that earthquake changed to a rock tipe move in gen 6😂

Big improvements across the board. Diantha's team certainly had some unexpected choices, but they're more diverse as a result. And I love that she has a shiny on her team - giving her a shiny would definitely add to the memorable factor. And bless you for including Roserade. I always appreciate team improvements for my favourite Champion - some can potentially give Cynthia a run for her money. Seriously, I really want Diantha to return with a formidable team for fans to remember and potentially fear her by. Enough of the Cynthia pandering.

I do feel a bit bad for Diantha. Her original team has some nice offensive coverage, and the BST totals are nice. And her levels are actually pretty high compared to the levels of other champions... She just fell victim to Gamefreak's questionable choices and the Exp. Share mechanics. I do love her team, though. The fact that other than Gardevoir, they made sure that all of her Pokémon were original to Kalos. (Also Tyrantrum, Aurorus, Gourgeist, and Goodra are all pretty high on my favorite Pokémon list) I don't really like when people hate on her because her character is really cool, even if she is underutilized. I just hope that whenever X & Y remakes happen, they don't do a 1 for 1 recreation. I want more lore, more interactions with Diantha... Maybe going deeper into Team Flare to make them feel like an actual team instead of just a concept (like seriously, why do we fight so many unnamed Admin NPCs when there are 6 named characters that have unique designs and we barely see them... Make it make sense) I would love to see more conflict in terms of Team Flare's ideals and Diantha's response to them. P.S.- The fact that Diancie is an ORAS Mega is disappointing because I feel like Mega Diancie fits Diantha's vibe even more than Mega Gardevoir. And having an essentially 700 BST ace could have made Diantha one of the most memorable champions.

I aways saw Drasna as the one dragon trainer that doesn't have a semi-legendary and that was her gimmick.

Diantha do be showing with her Shiny Gigalith. Not gonna judge tho, it's a great Shiny.

I love wikstroms team, all so meanacing and i can imagine his klefki jist chilling by his belt as a secret weapon 😅

I heard that Dianth'as team was terrible but nothing prepared me for that Aurorus dear Arceus... The small roasts when introducing the characters add a lot of personality to the videos, the mix of humor and information is top notch (also I learned to build better teams! :D thanks!) i don't remember where i read it, but iirc Diantha's team represents different movie genres: action, historical, horror, I think children movies for Goodra? It felt all over the place ngl, I like your new team better
