Explaining a List of Niche Bans in the STABmons Tier.

Hey folks! Thanks for watching, I hope you all enjoyed, this is my longest video I’ve made in the past few months, so hopefully it’s enjoyable (and I didn’t get anything wrong) Also, I have Memberships now, it’s completely optional, and there probably won’t be much if any optional content locked behind it other then Emojis and Badges and a bit early access to videos (probably right when I upload them, typically I work on descriptions and chapters for a bit before making the video public), but, if you’d like to further support me, then that is probably the best way, thank you all either way, I really do appreciate all the support lately, and I hope you all continue to enjoy these little videos :)

porygon-z: the mon that becomes broken when it actually has options

It really does just take the slightest nudge to take porygon from RU~UU status all the way to ubers, that thing is balanced on a knifes edge

Shoutouts to Comatose + Sleep Talk + Revival Blessing too :)

I remember lilligant being very annoying in the pre-dlc metagame. Not just because of flower trick but also because triple arrows was also legal back then. I haven’t touched the metagame in a while but i’m surprised that it got unbanned

Porygon z at the slightless buff: trought ubers and underused im alone am the honored one

STABmons is such an interesting format, because AAA is never really going to happen but move pool changes happen all the time and there are some major problems with the standard distributions as it is. Lots of stuff just straight up don’t get good STAB moves and lots of interesting signature moves are stuck on bad mons or Pokémon that don’t really want to use them, so it asks some fascinating questions as a format.

thank you evelyn for providing commentary on niche bans in the smogon stabmons tier. i appreciate the work that you put into your videos. :3

The moment I heard what stabmons was, I immediately thought Porygon-Z boomburst

Honestly I feel like Pory-Z becoming broken when given anything is well-known now. I had to look up why Latios is banned given I wouldn't have said its moveset was bad before, but the answer is the new move options are too good (Dragon Energy & Clanging Scales for stronger dragon attacks, Lumina Crash/Esper Wing & Psycho Boost for more versatile & powerful psychic attacks, and Take Heart is an improved calm mind)

Yoooo Zoroark was good in something, lets goooo

I remember the very beginnings of STABmons being introduced. Porygon-Z has always been the single most broken mon in the format, even with constant bans to certain moves. Early STABmons Porygon-Z at its full potential with Shell Smash, Boomburst, Judgement with Fist Plate, and Shadow Ball is one of the most horrifying Pokemon in existence.

keep doing more of these!! love the longer style vids too. keep it up !!

boomburst + stab + specs is always fun. Every normal type can cosplay as Exploud in stab mons, its a bless.

Thank you Evelin! Your editing is amazing as always and it really more impressive for a channel of your size. I consistently think you have a 100k or more 😅 keep up the awesome stuff
