| 00:00 - 00:05 | So I was working on new moves when my boss said, "Hey Risitas! Come here!" |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | Fishious Rend was a great move in Gen 8. |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | We need an even stronger move for Gen 9. |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | I thought this guy is insane. I made Fishious Rend broken so I'd get fired. |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | So I made a move 100 times stronger! |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | Last Respects! |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | Last Respects! |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | If the rest of your team is dead, it has 300 base power! |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | Last Respects! |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | I told my boss I would give it to Basculin's evolution, Basculegion, and even Houndstone. |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | He thought I was a genius! |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | Now the rest of your team can suck, and you can still win! |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | Oh! It gets better! |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | With Adaptability, the power doubles. |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | And guess what? |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | That's Basculegion's ability! |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | Last Respects! |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | They honestly let me make this. |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | And if you revive a Pokemon, the power stacks up to 5,050. |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | It is the only move whose base power can be more than 3 digits long. |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | It's unbelievable! |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | I can't believe I didn't get fired for this! |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | But seriously though. |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | The move has some drawbacks. |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | Both it users are kind of slow. |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | So I just give them a Choice Scarf! |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | Too easy! |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | It almost always hits first! |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | 600 base power plus STAB, they're dead! |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | Last Respects! |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | And then... |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | And then... |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | And then if they bring out a Normal type or something |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | I gave them a bunch of coverage moves! |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | As soon as Houndstone was released, he got banned from OU and sent into Ubers tier! |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | With Mewtwo? |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | Yes, with Mewtwo and Rayquaza. |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | And they both die to Last Respects! |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | I can't believe it! |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | They let me power creep this game to the fucking moon. |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | Do you have any regrets? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | Yes, I regret that the other Pokemon don't stand a chance. |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | All of my colleagues worked so hard to make them. |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | They worked very hard indeed. |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | And then I make one move that ruins everything. |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | I can't wait for Gen 10. |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | If this doesn't get me fired, I don't know what will! |
