Top 20 STRONGEST SWORD & SHIELD POKEMON You NEED On Your Team!

hey what's up so today we are back at it with another Pokemon video and in this one we're going to be looking at the top twenty strongest Pokemon in generations eight sword and shield I am just so blown away at the response of the last two videos who done and I just wanted to give a huge thank you guys to everyone who has been supporting this content the giveaway that we did on those two videos is over but because of all the hype I thought we would do another one so if you guys want to be entered into win another possible copy of sword or shield your choice here's the rules for the giveaway if you want to be entered into when you must be a subscriber of the channel and then just comment down below what your favorite Pokemon on this list was but other than that's let's just hop straight into it so despite this being a top 20 list there's only 12 spots because there are a ton of ties and actually starting in a tower number 12 spot we have a technical five way tie so the first four pokemon that we have on this list are the fossils now we're doing this ranking on base stats and these Pokemon all have a base stat of 505 so while they're actually pretty good I gotta say that I honestly hate these four Pokemon we've got drak assaults a dragon electric pokemon drago vish a dragon fish dragon water pokemon ark toes alts an ice electric I think that's like the first ice electric ever maybe and then arc to fish ice water interesting typings and good stats but these pokemon just look awful dovish is okay in the other three are just gross now there's actually one other pokemon that is tied with a 505 base stat and that is orbital it's so it's actually very cool that orbital is the highest base stat pokemon you can acquire before taking the train to moto soak city where I guess to the wild area before you get there I gotta be honest orbital is a bit of a beast this Pokemon learns reflect and light screen at level 10 and also has insanely high defense and special defense on top of that the rest of his stats are all pretty solid he's fairly quick and his special attack is great in the final fights of the game I actually the fighting type character it was really a piece of cake and that's because of orbital now moving that's number 11 with no tie at all it is actually sir fetched sir fetched just beat the last group out with 507 based at and I gotta say that overall this Scoleri inversion of Farfetch'd is a really nice improvement generation 1 to 6 is far fetched has a base stat of only 352 he was just never a viable pokemon but sir fetched as a fighting-type is actually pretty decent and surprisingly enough he actually managed to make it into the top 20 strongest Pokemon of this new generation and actually topping out our number 10 spot with just a 508 base that is Polti Geist now in my original ranking video that I did before the game had come out I based this Pokemon as purely on aesthetic and on that I didn't really like it but oh my god it's base special attack is 134 this thing is surprisingly good Wow and as a pure ghost type I'm I like that too it's only got two things that's super effective against it so overall I really do like ghost type not something I had expected to be a great Pokemon but I gotta say I'm very impressed now moving on to number nine we've got another big tie-up here at 510 so the first Pokemon tied at this spot is colossal a fire rock-type pokémon that I think is truly solid he's got high HP and defense as you would expect with most rock-type pokémon with actually pretty good both attack and special attack pitiful speed but that's a rock pokémon for you now the next one that we have is sand a Conda and while this pokemon does have fairly high base stats overall I still don't really like it 72 HP 107 attack 125 defense 65 special attacks 70 special defense and 71 speed while it does have high defense and attack it's just really not that stand out to me as a pure ground type and the next Pokemon tied at number 9 is curse Allah this is a Pokemon that evolves from gallery' and corsola at level 38 another Pokemon that I gotta say looks pretty awful but it's actually got some interesting stats okay so it's got 52 feds and 30 speed but 145 special attack and 130 special defense and it's a ghost type it's also only got 60 HP so it's got some very skewed stats which kind of makes for an interesting Pokemon I haven't had the opportunity to play through with this Pokemon yet but I'm guessing it's going to be weird to use in anything but competitive now the second last Pokemon we have it still number nine is a tureen again with a 5-10 base this is the Pokemon that I actually do quite like this is a psychic fairy typing with a little bit more balanced stats it's extremely slow with only 29 speed but has a hundred and thirty six special attack so not a fast girl but I actually kind of liked it and then the last Pokemon time for number nine with 510 base that is grim snarl and my personal favorite grim snarl is a dark fairy and the final evolution of impotent the thing that I really like about him and that stands out I think is the fact that he's not only immune to psychic but also dragon to notoriously extremely powerful types that you just basically have ruled over and with fairly balanced stats as well excelling in attack I really actually like this Pokemon now finally moving on to number eight we've got a two-way tie so the first Pokemon with a 520 base stat is actually mr. rhyme who would have thought that mr. minds evolution would be one of the strongest Pokemon in the game or at least in generation eight not me mr. rhyme is an ice psychic type with overall as you might expect good staff fairly balanced with a bit of an interesting move pool I feel like this is basically the better version of jinx as far as aesthetics go I don't think he's something I would ever personally use but he's a huge step up for mr. mine and then the other Pokemon its hide with a 520 base stat is obstacle this is the final evolution of gallery' and Zigzagoon and we actually talked about him in another video dark normal makes him resistant to psychic and ghost and only immune to dark so he doesn't really have any great immunities and on top of that he is four times a week to fighting but overall I do like him he's a quick strong dark type which is the pole come on that's very useful and I talked about this a little bit earlier in this game now moving on to number seven we have a very surprising pokemon here and it's actually sent a scourge with 525 based at Santos Gorch is somehow one of the best pokemon in the game I thought that it just had an interesting design style so I went with it in my first playthrough but it's actually amazing now his fire bug typing makes him super weak to rock but that's really my only complaint surprisingly really good HP with a hundred base stats and a hundred and fifteen attack he also learned some great fire moves which makes him a very good replacement for cinder a SIF you don't have that fire Pokemon overall Sun to scorch is a really impressive Pokemon now moving on to number six we've actually got a three-way tie between the starters in tally on cinder ace and Rilla boom now if you want to know my full thoughts on the starters I've already done a 13 minute in-depth analysis on them but personally I like Rilla boom the most but based off of this ranking it should now be pretty obvious that honestly any three of them are a great choice there's only 5 Pokemon ahead of them so that should speak for a lot now topping out our number 5 spot we actually have the steel dragon Pokemon dural udon so when I first saw Daryl udon I had expected that he was going to be the pseudo legendary of this generation he's a dragon type just looks big and beefy and I expected him to have his super late evolution with 600 base best and that's actually not the case as his base that is only 535 but he does kind of still feel like a pseudo legendary and for those of you that don't know the term pseudo legendary it basically just refers to those really high-level Pokemon that take forever to evolve like Dragon Knight Tyranitar salamence Garchomp goodra cetera so while Daryl udon doesn't quite make it into that group of Pokemon his steel dragging typing makes him pretty much that good ok so let me just go through what this guy is resistant to normal flying rock bug steel water grass electric in psychic and on top of that he is only weak to two things fighting and ground so just that alone mean he is an absolute beast for a literal brick house he's got actual decent speed with the defense you would expect and an even better special attack he is just a tank but is only enough to make it to number 5 now moving on to number 4 it's actually the pseudo legendary of generation 8 and that is Drago polt so as all legendaries go Drago polt has a base stat of 600 he is a dragon ghost with exceptionally high attack of 120 and an insane speed of 142 Drago Poltz is real good mind you it's gonna take you to level 60 to get this guy but real good now coming in at number 3 we've got our first legendaries on this list and it is actually say Chien and sama Zenta and these are the mascots of course of sword and shield so as you might expect for legendaries these pokemon have extremely high stats and actually 670 total which is interestingly just under the usual crazy legendary of 680 so these Asian hero of many battles type is a fairy type and these amaz enta hero of many battles is a fighting type and as you would expect for a legendary just kind of have a lot of high everything now moving on to a number 2 spot we've got the main god - your legendary that is Eterna TISS aiternative boasts a 690 base stat which is actually 10 higher than your average top tiered legendary pretty much all Pokemon like Rick weighs a mu - lugia ho-oh they all got 680 so he's just a little bit above those guys crazy high HP of 140 speed of 130 special attack of 145 you name it beans greens Tomatoes he's got you covered but cool enough he's actually not the highest static pokemon on this list because that honor actually goes to the Crown's version of zation and Zam Ascenta so there is the basic version of those two pokemon and then the Pokemon that you're probably more familiar with which are the crowned version when you give zakian or zatia in the rusted sword item his stats go way up up to 720 for comparison that's the same as Arceus 107 the attack 148 speed and overall just insane numbers pretty much and pretty much the same thing goes for the crowned version of Zam Ascenta both 145 defense and 145 special defense even got 130 attack not bad and anyways at the end of the day they are the top two strongest Pokemon in a generation eights sword and shield and ladies and gentlemen that is our video for today if you guys did enjoy this video make sure to leave a like as
