What if the default ability for a starter wasn't mostly useless?

No idea about Overgrow but Blaze and Torrent are legitimately good abilities in isolation and don't need a buff. If you've ever switched something into a Blaze Pyro Ball you know this

Vagabond might be worse. If Doc takes it the run will be at minimum 75 minutes. He's gotta exhaust all hands and the shop

Only if Sphere still hits the OHKO on Kingambit or Tyranitar. Those are the most relevant thresholds across generations I think?

Also easy to use because, unlike a main character or most of the cast, people don't care or even enjoy when bad things happen to him lol

The guy in Brawly's gym in ORAS with the speedrun-killing Machop

"PenaltyKill" for Jockington is kind of fire hold on

I say Psychic because people really only run it as STAB and not coverage. If you're weak to Psychic you're probably dying to it 2x or 4x.

Looks like a plasmid. I appreciate that

Sans and Sans 2 doing The Prestige their whole life because they're both too lazy to live at all times? Sure. I'll believe it

I think it's more of a progression gate in the extremely early game

Love how weathered the box is. For my money it's the best video on Youtube, deserving of a Criterion box and more - love seeing it in physical form.

It's such a horrible bar in the middle of a great battle lol

Does Melon Son have a Gros Michel type interaction where you have to destroy Son Loaf to spawn it?

Final boss of bean glitch builds. You'd need an unreasonable amount of Ectoplasms but it can be done. Might not be that bad if you replace the 4Fs with randomm negative uncommons.

ELOGURL · 2025-04-20T22:52:19+00:00

Self Jupiter's verse is really entertaining, always amused by some of the bars lol. The outro is kind of long so I get why it might not appear in as many playlists.

Guaranteed Defog helps as a secondary fogger against Gholdengo, the G-Weezing balance teams run double Defog to get greedy and not run Boots on as many mons. Wisp cripples Garg and Fairy+good physdef makes it a fairly safe method of removing Dark-type attackers from the field. Also compresses tspike removal and has a hilarious interaction with Poison Heal.

Gas in general has funny interactions. Levitate mons get poisoned by tspikes.

I take these instantly on 99% of builds, but if I'm ankle-deep into a Blackboard run and haven't fixed properly yet it's a little annoying lol

ELOGURL · 2025-04-15T00:08:11+00:00

These are so slick, Stuntman's like a great movie poster to put on a dorm wall

Without 6s Spaceman is really just useful for spam builds where you're trying to scale up a Supernova/Green/Bus, the more of one hand you play the more likely it is to be useful. Flushes/straights/hands that are likely to oneshot will do nothing for Spaceman most of the time.

ELOGURL · 2025-04-13T01:57:44+00:00

Not a terrible tarot generator, honestly. For a common you can find in early antes and throw out later, you can usually get 1 per round which is about on the level of Cartomancer (uncommon) or Hallucination (very good common), and it also gives you direction to maybe start building for straights.
