DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth. Now Popular does not mean official even though two of the formats I will be covering were official formats being Japan Nintendo Cup and VGC, but it is an indicator of what a good portion of competitive players thought was “optimal” at the time. Also sometimes the Pokemon Battle Historia doesn’t provide enough information to talk about certain Pokemon so I add Smogon analysis to make sense of it. This is pretty rare though.
To the people asking why I don’t cover Smogon Singles for Gens 1 and 2: It wouldn’t really be a history video if I covered those because online Smogon gen 1 meta to my knowledge wasn’t actually played until late 2000s. I wanted to cover tournaments/competitive battling that was actually played during the early years of Pokemon (late 90s).
To the people asking why I cover Smogon at all for singles: To my knowledge, Smogon was the most popular format for Gens 3-5 and held a number of tournaments throughout the years. As for Gen 6, I am not covering Battle Spot Singles because there is more information and explanations about sets being used relative to their own meta on Smogon. In other words, there are few written analyses about Battle Spot Pokemon besides the Top tiers and I would like to avoid theorycrafting because it may have a hint of bias (though I theorycraft if I REALLY couldn’t find information on a certain Pokemon). The keyword here is explanations. Though I did find statistics of most Pokemon used and most moves used, there wasn’t really any explanations on why. Also the few Pokemon I did find analysis of for Top Tier Battle Spot Singles had very similar move sets to the Smogon OU sets anyway.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent and I will not fault you for using evasion or whatever, I just like examining popular tournament formats.

Man….. Making so many mistakes today. At 3:34 and at 5:00 Porygon Z's base speed is wrong. It should be 90 :/ huge apologies again. Already made a huge text mistake in the other video.
Ah yes, porygon z the underrated pokemon.
P Z!
Eevee Plz
The fact porygon z has a fucking seizure when doing ANYTHING, is poetic. Only OGs will know why.
I keep on thinking the portion line is electric
this video deserves a remake.
And Nintendo gave this dimension walking Pokemon Normal type instead they had given it physic or steel that should've been more awesome.
Yeah normal type is not bad though
Porigon Z:
Looks like a Y
Makes sense
The gave an evolution to a pokémon with a 515 base stat…
Me watching this to figure out if I wanna keep Hyper Beam on my Z moveset:
FSG: "We found Last Resort"
R O B O T P I N G U
That Last Resort PoryZ is absolutely genius. Hats off to the person who made that up.
Hyper beam?
Came back after getting my Porygon Z in Legends
….. Ohko blissey? With a special non fighting move? Holy shnitzel
….. Ohko blissey? With a special non fighting move? Holy shnitzel
Damn porygon z is packin i didnt realize this until now.
HE HAS A FUCKING SEIZURE
Ohkoin bliss with a special move power and a half there
How is this man normal 😂
Ouch! After watching the Porygon videos, I concluded that Porygon 2 was better than its evolution. Porygon 2 was a decent wall provided no fighting types were around. It could make great use of Recover for ultimate stalling.
DRAGON, DRAGON! KNOCK THAT DRAGON! PORYGON ZZZ!!!
how does a Stab Adaptability choice specs Hyper beam sound?
