 Hello friends and welcome to another Pokemon news update video. My name is Lee also known as Osiris and in today's episode We're gonna talk quickly about the recent news that we got dropped earlier this week in regards to the series 6 rules update For the rank ladder going into effect from the 1st of September So like I say we got a news update earlier in a week a complete curve ball thrown at us And it's something that's never happened in the Pokemon world competitive world before and they are creating a ban list Going forward into the new series 6 format of the Pokemon sword and shield online ladder rules So what Pokemon have done have taken the top 10 usage from the singles ladder and the doubles ladder those Pokemon in the top 10 usage stats have been combined and a list of 16 Pokemon has been created where they will no Longer be able to be used going forward from the 1st of September making up the series 6 rules So I've got on the screen right now over on showdown here The list of Pokemon that we're not able to to use going forward from the 1st of September Which is in a couple of weeks time So so you can see there obviously all the the top contenders big Pokemon that be making I'm carving out the current format that we're playing in so some big changes going forward We've got Venus or G max Venus over there Garedos Porygon to big trick room setter You got sand with Tyranitar. That's been a huge player since the start of the format talk all as well So we're not gonna have that that mode with talk all Venus or anymore. You got her powder on it's more of a singles Impactful Pokemon. I would say it's not really gonna affect the doubles ladder too much But that's why it's in this list. You got Magnazone just introduced within the Isle of Armour a bit like Porygon to Just starting to make some big waves as well We've seen players like James Eeks have a lot of success on his twitch streams recently with Magnazone So to see that go and there is a big importance behind Magnazone going we'll get into a little bit later in this video at least in my opinion and They're kind of knock-on effect. That's gonna have a toga kiss another one We're seeing not gonna be able to use that anymore redirection gone And the fact that it's just a perfect check to something like Urshifu is a really impactful change going forward in my opinion You got Excadrill again pairing up with the tyrannotone. I'm not gonna have that sandcore anymore that available to us whims a cut Huge huge Pokemon to lose especially for a lot of players It takes away a lot of different strategies and especially with that pranks the tailwind and it's got access to fake tears taunt Just a really annoying Pokemon beat-up stuff as well is all gone Incinero now this is probably one of the ones I'm more sad about than anything else and Intimidate Incinero has been a big player so far in this format since being introduced and Now to lose it for the stability that it gives a format is a big big change Mimikyu again, it falls into kind of the more impound and category with singles rather than doubles Although I have recently been playing it myself in doubles and it's been doing an incredible job So again sad to see that go really boom Obviously, I don't even need to say anything about really boom since his introduction to the format It's been incredible grassy terrain and grassy glide just to incredible move combinations that you can make use of with really boom and Again falling a bit into my argument that I'm going to go into later with the Magnazone But we'll get into that a little later Cinderace again with the Libraro ability Another Pokemon that we're going to lose now Recently introduced with the Alavama the G max Cinderace there Indeedy and this goes for male and female both variants are going to be gone And so the Hatterine indeedy combination completely gone indeedy male Alakazam not seen so much at the moment But still a combination that we're not going to see access to the psychic terrain is completely gone for the moment with Indeedy leaving with this banlist and then topping it off with Dragapult as well Another Pokemon that's really not left the top 10 usage stats since its introduction within sword and shield So some big changes here and some interesting ones firstly again to my opinion on what I think about this new rule introduction It is something that we've never seen Pokemon do before, but I think It's a good thing. Honestly, I know there's a lot of talk about players not thinking it's it's It's positive thing or anything like that, but I generally am welcoming it I was just saying on my stream over on twitch on Wednesday evening how I was feeling really uninspired at the minute Not really motivated to play the format because I felt like all the teams that I'm creating looking at all very much the same Going forward the things that we're playing as well very much the same teams over and over and over again And the sandcalls the time ran atars the trick room stuff So to see this all leave is quite refreshing it refreshes the format and I think on a different level it will benefit not only Individuals but the entire Pokemon competitive community overall because I think it's gonna make players I take them out their comfort zone They're gonna have to and they're not gonna be able to rely on these strategies and there are always There and and something to fall back on they're gonna have to think outside the box and use some maybe underused Pokemon under use strategies to create and carve out a new format and be successful with these new Pokemon In a slightly different way to what they may be used to so I generally think it is a very good thing And I think it's a good move by Pokemon my big quip and I'm curious about going forward is how they're gonna manage this ban List going forward because you can't say at the end of September or the end of October when the next series updates That the current top 10 usage not including the ones that are banned already course We're gonna have a new top 10 Pokemon list and what you're gonna do Are you gonna take those out and then bring back some of the Pokemon that you've taken away before because then we're just gonna End up in a situation where we were before these new rules got implemented So I think the balance of being able to take Pokemon out and bring other Pokemon back in but not in big Bulk numbers like we're seeing right now is gonna be an interesting thing For them to manage and go forward with but in general I think it's a very good thing. I think it's exciting I'm excited about it. I'm looking forward to getting into what feels like a brand new format and It would be really interesting to hear what your guys opinions are so do leave a comment down below Let me know your thoughts on These rule changes coming into effect on the 1st of September now quickly before we do anything else I just want to cover some of my thoughts about what the format is gonna look like going forward I've just thrown some things together. I don't want to keep this video too long So I'm just gonna try and keep this under 10 minutes So we'll be as quick as possible going through what some Pokemon that I think are gonna be good going forward obviously Gmax Lapras is still available has lots of it's buddy in there Whimsicob But it does have a new friend in Talonflame and now depending on how popular things like Oshifu are gonna be Which you would imagine are gonna have big impact in this new series I think Talonflame with its gale wings ability that Priority tailwind that it can throw up especially for something like Gmax Lapras which really benefits from that That is gonna be a big player in this new series So I think that combination there is gonna be pretty pretty good Now my next thing and this getting back to the Magnus on the Rillaboom the Gmax Venusaur Tokul Taranitar going out the window. I Think if you look at series one to four before we had the introduction of Gmax Venusaur before we had the introduction of Gmax Rillaboom Rillaboom with grassy terrain with grassy glide You saw a big part of the format dominated by these bulky water types And I'm talking about Gmax Lapras Primarina Melotic Rotom wash now as soon as the series five came along Gmax Lapras and Rillaboom came on to the scene They checked all of these Pokemon these Pokemon were not as powerful not as predominant as they were now They're gone I think it opens the door for these water types to come in and have a bit of a free for all So these are some of the Pokemon that I think are gonna be big players and big Pokemon going to this next format Gmax Lapras Of course and always going to be very good very strong We know how good it is already without those checks there It's gonna be even stronger polytod I think has an easy time now without Taranitar and Tokul and the grass types to disrupt it Primarina gonna be one of the better fairy types as well and with that fairy water typing again We've seen how good it can be even in a format with these Pokemon So it's just gonna get better Melotic and Rotom wash to kind of round those off These Pokemon are still doing well now so to have their biggest threats taken out of the format It's just gonna kind of push them forward a bit more So that does worry me and that takes me back to Magnazone, which is one Pokemon that you could maybe say Okay, well, this is now format without these grass types You've got Magnazone to fall back on but now Magnazone is gone as well So it increases the usage and potential of these these bulky waters So that's my biggest kind of worry going into this format Are we gonna be dominated by these bulky waters going forward another call? Obviously we lose Porygon to trick room user and does clubs somehow managed to dodge the ban list It's been the predominant and premier kind of trick room user this whole season Falling out the usage stats at the right time But I think something like this combination is just the first thing I thought of Obviously having the sound stream ability as well is incredible. So you've got that combination right there I think this is gonna be a good pairing does clubs gileth Other Pokemon we've already mentioned Urshifu I think because toga kisses out the scene now Urshifu really benefits for that both forms They're fighting water as well as this fighting dog type and you got Hydraigan as well And because of Dragapult for one being taken out It's gonna have a really easy time and to toga kiss and also Whims are caught going the Hydraigan is gonna be a very good Pokemon and the other thing to note about Hydraigan is It's based in 98 speeds that it does add speed Urshifu by one speed point and Urshifu special defense is Trash, so I mean the Hydraigan is gonna have a really easy time against Urshifu for the most part come on. Oh, it's an interesting one It's getting a lot of talk at the minute about how good it can be and I do honestly think it's probably gonna be a Good player. I don't know whether it's gonna make as much of an impact in the format is what some people maybe think it is But it'll be interesting to see and then bravery. It's gonna be a bit like Talonflame It does offer tailwind support and it kind of helps check things like Urshifu to a certain extent And it can do work against Hydraigan and Koma as well Obviously with a combination of flying and fighting that it's got access to now going on to the bulky water Topic that I'm talking about and it's really kind of consuming me at the minute We need to look at grass types that we've got access to now We don't have Venus so now we don't have really boom and we don't have things like talk all that could once Previously like threaten these types as well as hard so and Amungus obviously gonna be their redirection still gonna be very good Spore as well and it's not gonna go away. It's just gonna make them look better I think ferrithon another option Rotomo Tangela is an interesting one, especially with the evil or Eviolite It does get a rage powder and sleep powder as well So and it also gets chlorophyll. So it's got some nice options there We still have Kanto Ninetales with drought and Abomasno as well another weather setter here There I think could be an interesting grass type to check these bulky waters And then moving on you're looking if you're not looking to check the water types with grass You're gonna have look for electric types now Dracozalt is a Pokemon probably benefits from torochis and draga pull Forming out the format as well as extra drill, especially with tea tartar that sand mode isn't there anymore to give it all those issues Along with the other things So Dracozalt could see a quite an increase in usage I think Rotom wash is gonna always be a staple if you're looking for a water and electric type It's generally very good. I can see Rotom wash usage gone up Tenfold going into this new format toxicity is an interesting one It does have the gene max ability as well and so it's worth considering for sure And then some odd picks on the end here I've got a lot on Raichu because Pinchurchin is in the format still it's still got access to that electric terrain So you can make use of Raichu that way and then Luxorate it does have access to intimidate So it is an electric type and I have thrown on just for that reason and then for intimidate users Obviously losing Gyarados and Incinero the top two at the minute we can always fall back on Arcanine It's done well in every format. It's been available and it's always an alternative option to Incinero We don't have some of the text that Incinero has but it's still very good Now if you're wanting fake out and intimidate you can look at things like hip on top and Scrafty Scrafty Particularly enjoys the fact that Togekiss isn't in the format anymore And I think Scrafty is an interesting pick for sure It's a very good Pokemon and it would not be nice to see it do well And then obviously the Luxorate but as I say I'm kind of conscious about trying to keep this video as short as possible We're already on 13 minutes, so I don't want to go too much But these are just my initial thoughts And just the information about the news and the rules updating on the 1st of September I'd love to hear your thoughts friends. And I hope you found this video At least informative and some of the things that we've talked about interesting And hopefully it sets you up well for going into the new format And just makes you aware of some of the things at least that I think are going to be quite important going forward And we've still got speed control. I think trick room is going to be very strong Obviously the dustclops there tailwind is going to be a nice option You still got lots of options with tailwind as well So there are things that I obviously haven't covered Like Gengor Bishop is another thing that could be interesting Noivern, another Pokemon, Colossal, G-Max, Colossal Still going to be there, Weavile, or even Evioelite, Sneasel with the Inner Focus There's a lot of things that are still going to be viable going forward in this format But it's a big change. It's something that we're going to have to embrace It's happening But I still would love to hear your opinions on what you think about these changes going forward Like I say, I am welcoming them. I am looking forward to it I'm just a bit conscious about what they're going to do to keep this going Moving forward into future series because I think there are a few problems ahead that I hope they've looked at Anyway, so that is going to be it. Thanks for that is going to be it Thank you so much for tuning in friends. Have a great rest of your day And I will see you all for another video very soon So until then take care of yourselves. Be kind to each other and until then take care. Bye. Bye
