competitive pokemon stereotypes


so this is a post inspired by soundsmith's tf2 staerotype videos but this is for competitive national dex. so heres a disclaimer, sterotypes do not mean everyone. for example, if you use ferrothorn that doesn;t automatically mean your a fun hating stall abuser, but that's what everyone thinks you are. we good? good

chansey: this is the first in the category of " fun haters" baisically if your oppoenent is using chansey they don't care about having a good time. they just want to watch you suffer...for three hours

blissey: you want to use chansey but you're too much of a hipster to go with the common choice

charizard X: you're trying to get those EPIC DRAGON DANCE SWEEPZ

charizard Y: you definately have a torkal and vensaur at the ready

clefable: another entry in the "this person actively hates having fun" category. if they're using a clefable chances are the battle is going to take way longer because you forgot to put a steel type on your team

corvinkight: a major entry in the fun hating category. only the douchiest of douchy players use corvinight

excadrill: you're sick of stall. and I can't blame you

ferrothorn: ladies and gentlmen meet the king of wet blankets, the ruler of ruining days, the duke of extending matches far longer than they should

gerchomp: you're going to use it to set up rocks and then have no clue what to do with it next

mega garchomp: you're my brother...seriously no player worth their salt is going to waste their mega slot on garchomp

gliscor: this is one of those pokemon that doesn;t have a set stereotype as the roles this pokemon fills are very vast so its best to look at their other team members to get a better clue

geninja (regular): you like a fast jack of all trades pokemon, nothing else to be said really

ash greninja: another memebr of the "fun hating category" now this one is in here for different reasons. instead of extending the battle for hours he'll sweep you with his priority, choice specs boosted, three hit water shuriken and there's nothing you can do about it

heatran: you're sick of fire types

kartana: you are definately running choice scarf on it and are expecting to get a sweep

komoo-o: you are going to use the Z move on the first turn 100% of the time and are probably going to go for clangorious soul on the next turn

kyurem: wait people use kyurem in OU? I guess you're running choice specs or something idk

landorus therian: another entry in the fun hating category, like ash greninja this is for different reasons than most. landorus therian may not be a stall mon like most of the fun haters but he's got just the right toolset to piss off EVERYBODY. especially gliscor fans

mega lopunny: you only have five minutes and need to get the round done as quickly as possible

magnezone: you're sick of stall, but unlike excadrill you REALLY hate stall.

mega mawile: you want the power of mega lopunny but the utility of intimidate

mega medicham: you want to go on a power trip

peliper: you 100% have mega swampert on your team

rillaboom: what's that? you want to win? too bad here's a stab boosted 80 power, terrain boosted, likely life orb boosted grassy glide to ruin your day. either that or you REALLY hate mega swampert

mega scizor: you have bullet punch

serpeirior: choice scarf? check, contrary? check, leaf storm? you bet yoir sweet ass that's a check. time to wreak havoc

slowbro: another member of the fun hating category, you have regenerator and you're going to abuse the hell out of it

mega swampert: hey buddy, are you bad at pokemon? do you have no skill or game sense whatsoever? well fear not just slap this and pelliper on your team and you wont have to use a single brain cell to get wins. good job everybody hates you now

tangrowth: honestly I don't really see people using tangrowth that much

tapu fini: another entry in the "fun hating" category. but unlike the others there's nothing else to say about it

tapu koko: you're trying to set up for an alolan raichu rising voltage sweep and praying to god you're opponent forgot ground types exist

tapu lele: honestly I got nothing, its kinda a fun hater kinda not. I guess you jsut want general support

toxapex: you know when I said ferrothorn was the king of fun hating, well toxapex is his queen. you will commonly see these two paired up on stall teams and are planning on abusing the living hell out of regenerator, in fact that's just a general rule of regenerator. if the enemy pokemon has it they are 100% going to abuse the hell out of it

tyranitar: you have an excadrill on your team ripe and ready to go

mega tyranitar: you forgot fighting moves exist and think you're invinicible

victini: you have V create and bolt strike and are cumming at the pants to use them

volcorona: you discovered that heavy duty boots exist and think that now you can set up quiver dances with reckless abandon

zapdos: this one is kind of like gliscor where it has so many uses that there really is no set stereotype for zapdos

alright that's all I got. if you want me to cover stereotypes for other metas like doubles or something let me know

So in my original spy post (link here https://gamejolt.com/p/alright-time-for-the-next-part-if-my-nerf…) I mentioned that I made a specific video for the loose launcher and here it is. Let me know if you want one for LA roulette

Lucky for me no one comments on my posts anyway so I'm pretty much immune to posts like these

Process of one of my Pikachu drawings. This is a perfect example of when I start losing myself in art land, but suddenly snap back to basics when I realize "Oh right, I have no time!" You'll see what I mean.

My thoughts

So I'm a big fan of pokemonXD in fact I'm going to beat the game 17 times each with a different monotype team. I've played this game so much that I can tell you what the best and worst choices are, and so I made a tier list ranking them from worst to best
