  1. I'm sorry, Elektross unfair? Rubbish! His stats, while well-rounded, are mediocre at best. He can simply be forced through with sheer power. On top of that, some Pokémon (Excadrill in particular), have abilities that can negate other Pokémon's abilities, negating Elektross's Ground immunity. As a result, Elektross is in the 'Rarelyused' (RU) tier, which is above Neverused and below Under- and Overused (also known as Standard). What would've been a better entry? Well, Mega Rayquaza is an obvious choice. He got banned from the Ubers tier, which is already a banlist of the standard OU tier. If you're overpowered in a tier of overpowered Pokémon, you know something's wrong. That said, this video might have been released prior to the release of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Mega Rayquaza's debut games. That leaves one other candidate: Mewtwo. While balanced as of now, it was the very definition of overpowered in Red, Blue and Yellow on the Gameboy. Being in the top 5 (out of 151) fastest and top 10 bulkiest Pokémon, as well as being the single hardest-hitting Pokémon in the game, Mewtwo is already incredibly difficult to counter. Combine that with the ability to learn a vast amount of moves (including Amnesia, which doubles the power of, and durability against, special as opposed to physical moves) and the Psychic-type, an already overpowered type, and you've got a Pokémon that can flawlessly sweep through teams. The only thing remotely capable of stopping it is Chansey, which has almost unbreakable special bulk, but it too will eventually fall to Mewtwo's wrath without being able to do much back. That's a lot better than Elektross.
