More Top 6 Best and Worst Version Exclusives in Pokémon

Mareep not being available in Pokemon Crystal is to this day one of the most baffling choices when it comes to version exclusives. It's one of Johto's best Pokemon.

The thing i dont like about having to choose between Drampa and Turtonator is that they are in very different parts of the game, so I feel like you miss out on more since you are left with an uncomplete area, instead of the same area having one or the other

To rub more Nacli into the wound in regards to the Glameow line is that it's only natively/normally available -(Without trading, events or transferring etc.) in three mainline games: Pearl, Shining Pearl and Legends Arceus. Whilst the Stunky line is in: Diamond, Brilliant Diamond, Legends Arceus, Sword + Shield and Scarlet. Heck, they even changed the Stunky line's counterparts to the Gulpin line in gen 9.

I can't help but feel a little bad for Glameow and Purugly, since they're the oldest Pokemon that haven't been in a regional Dex since their introduction (apart from starters, Legendaries, and Mythicals) while Stunky and Skuntank got into 3 others, and were paired up with Gulpin and Swalot as exclusives in Paldea.

Tauros Blaze Form, Tauros Aqua Form, Tauros Forest Form But... what they should have done Tauros Blaze Form Tauros Torrent Form Tauros Overgrow Form There... you can even give them those abilities.

I genuinely love the gothitelle line and always use them

I love how Paldea did version exclusives. Non of the new pokemon are exclusives up until post game (paradox), so you can discover most of the new mons by yourself (which is the most fun). They also added Tauros forms as a non compulsary rare additional exclusive mon

Funny how they separated Reuniclus and Gothitelle now. The latter is in Paldea while Reu isn't. I think GF thinks of Gothitelle now as a 3 stage waifu we seem to be constantly getting. Like how the only middle stages added to Pokemon Cafe Mix for a while were Kirlia, Gothorita, Hattrem and Steene

Breeding a Volbeat/Illumise has a 50% chance to hatch either of them, regardless of which one the egg came from

Question for you all: Do you think we should get some type of Murkrow Paradox form so that we can keep up the linking between it and the Misdreavus line because it got Flutter Mane?

Armorouge and Ceruledge are definitely the most “balanced” version exclusive Pokemon. Typing, preference, and difference in the popularity between the two aside, you really don’t feel like you are missing out if you plan to use either of them in the game. Both have really great signature moves and have really cool designs. I also wholeheartedly agree with the Unova psychic duo being one of the worst. It’s pretty obvious which of the two people favors more and Renuiclus even has far superior abilities. Anyway, nice video Emperor Cubone.

Just a quick correction about misdreavus in gen 2. It actually was a version exclusive to pokemon gold (GBC) and its counterpart in silver (GBC) was sneasel. Sneasel also received a new evolution in gen 4, but the method of evolution was different from misdreavus; severing the former bond they had.

I found Lunatone & Solrock to be an interesting version Exclusive duo.

what makes it worse that Illumise and Volbeat are version exclusives is that you can breed an Illumise and get Volbeat

gothitelle is great. cool design and stellar inspirations (lolita + cosmic being). but regardless, the reuniclus line aren't even in scarlet and violet so clearly the pair can be seperated.

Speaking as someone who picked Sprigatito, Armorouge is a fantastic addition to my team. I love the animation of his arm cannons as he uses his signature move

My favorite version exclusives are definitely Sirfetch’d, Armorouge and Ceruledge. They’re my top 3 favorite Pokémon, and all of them have awesome designs, and were also pretty strong members of my Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Scarlet team Also, off topic a bit, but I managed to complete the Pokédex in Pokémon Scarlet. It was my first time completing the Pokédex in a Pokémon game 😄

Surprised you didn't mention Seviper and Zangoose They even had a in story rivalry that made sense why they were version exclusive

6:16 Competitive players: "Are we joke to you?" And in Competitive scene, they has different playstyles, so they're not the same. Also, Gothitelle got into S/V WITHOUT Reuniclus, and also can be obtained in both versions. Edit: As Gothitelle fan, this a big win for me.

Version exclusives appearing in raid battles is good idea. So you can get other version Pokémon.
