Top 6 Best and Worst Gift Pokémon

Gen 6 is so hard the game almost gives the player a team of gift Pokémon, Peak game design

If I remember correctly, if you raise the shuckle long enough and raise it's happiness enough and then try to return it, the guy decides the Shuckle us better off with you and let's you keep it

The elemental monkey you get before the 1st gym in Pokémon Black and White is an absolute blessing, you have a free counter for the gym leader's ace AND you can use it for Cut

Kalos really is generous with the Gift Pokemon. -Lapras -Lucario -You get a free Kanto Starter that can mega evolve

Just an FYI about that tentacool, I believe it was added as to help against a certain soft lock where you cannot leave that island. I think that's the whole thing. I agree with the placement, but it does kinda suck that it's only there for a very specific soft lock you need to set up yourself lol

Some of the gift Pokémon you get are clutch when doing Nuzlockes.

Surprised that Lapras isn't number 1 but not disappointed. It's got such a solid BST and so useful in the story of the games you receive it. You really can't go wrong with Lapras

Lucario is especially cool because you have a history with it. Most people just give you seemingly random Pokémon...

The npc does let you keep shuckle (shuckie) if its max friendship

XY where crazy with the gift Pokémon, when I originally played them my team was literally just gift Pokémon + the box art legendary (greninja, charizard, tyrantrum, lucario, lapras, and xerneas)

You can still keep Shuckie without stealing it. If you have Max friendship with it the NPC lets you keep it.

Emperor Cubone, I don't know if you usually read comments, but I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your consistency. You're one of my comfort contents. You always seem to upload when I'm feeling overwhelmed and it helps me relax for a little while. Thank you for that. 🖤

Gift eevee in Soul Silver and especially Platinum has always been useful

You have the most creative ideas for videos AND upload in time for my commute to work. This is the good stuff.

Thanks to Red in GSC/HGSS every theoretical Main Character's teams are always composed of these gift Pokémon. The wild part is that they have been giving less in game gifts with time, so it's always hard to, anyway.

I will not stand the slander of Scarlet and Violet's school storyline! It's one of the most fun aspects of the game, because the character writing has been the best its ever been in the series (not a high bar, but still) and going through Mr. Salvatore's friendship arc is not really as much a hurdle than it is a cute little sidestory

Lapras in Y is my best fishing buddy, and i like that i can ride it without needing a big goofy saddle with an even goofier outfit

My only real gripe with gen 6 is the difficulty I’ve always thought they should made the gyms broken on purpose. In any other gen that would be overkill but in kalos it’s perfect. Especially since before your even half way through the game you can have a fossil, a Kanto starter, a Lucario, a lapras, a snorlax, and a gift steelix. I do love gen 6 tho

5:25 MandJTV is sad, the thing they could also do to make Castform more viable is to at least bump it's stats to 85 across, and then with each form (including a new Dust form for sandstorms) could get a stats distribution change for it's attacks and defenses. Rain form could be the bulkier physical attacker but slow Sun form could be the Fast special attacker with weak special defense Hail form could be the Fast special attacker with weak defense Dust form could be the slow bulk entirely and rely more on status conditions. Also doesn't gift pokemon have the higher exp increase rate when you trade?

The Kalos starter, the Kanto starter, Blaziken, Lucario, Snorlax, and Lapras. The problem wasn’t the team, as that was actually my dream team, but the problem was the bad design from the challenge in Gyms and Team Flare. Heck, one of the rivals has a Roserade with just Petal Dance. JUST PETAL DANCE. Not even a choice scarf or specs, just one move and no items. GameFreak needs to see BDSP as that was a real challenge. That is the difficulty I hoped for.
