Discover which are the Pokémon that are going to give everything in the fights of the ninth generation.
Koraidon is the strongest past paradox form
join the conversation
Pokémon Scarlet and Purple brought with them a very special addition, since, as happened in the seventh generation with the Ultra Entities, from Game Freak they wanted to give a twist to the concept of pokemon from another dimensionbeing so that if in Sun and Moon they focused on those who were in another space, in the case of the ninth generation they brought us the forms paradox according to the period of time from which they came.
Pokemon Scarlet and Purple
Under this premise, it must be said that, contrary to what happened in Alola, in Pokémon Scarlet and Purple a certain special touch has been given to the paradox shapesso that each game of the ninth generation has exclusive Pokémon that have common characteristics, so in this case we are going to focus on the Pokémon that have Koraidon as leader.
The paradox forms of the past are exclusive to Pokémon Scarlet
Given this, it should be noted that although too many discards cannot be made because there are only nine paradox forms from the past, we are going to leave Koraidon out because it also has the category of Legendary Pokemonso it would almost certainly take first place (and I already anticipate that with the paradoxical forms of the future, the same will happen with Miraidon).
Likewise, it must be taken into account that in this case they all have same ability: Paleosynthesis, which causes the Pokémon’s highest stat to increase when Sunny Day is active or a Boost Energy is used as an equipped item. Having said all this, and after having done the pertinent screening, it is time for you to meet the best forms paradox of the past:
Reptalada
Reptalada is the prehistoric form of Volcarona
Being the paradoxical form of the past of the best Bug-type Pokémon, the truth is that Reptalada has entered the top by the hairssince it is a Pokémon that is very even with the three discarded in many aspects, but that has stood out for several reasons, such as its amazing physical attack It allows you to hit with great force.
And it is not for less, since movements like Skirmish, Close Range, Round Trip and Cruel Voltio to deal with Flying-type Pokémon help it to muddle through most of the encounters, whereas the Empowering Energy, Thick Boots, and Choice Band they are the best items to equip them with.
Of course, what does not make it shine so much is that combination of types, identical to Heracross, which makes it very weak to extremely common attacks such as the aforementioned Flying type. If we add to this that its Speed is not very far, we have as a result a Pokémon that you can only go out when it is safe. Of course, if these circumstances occur, it will devastate.
longfang
Longfang is one of Donphan’s two paradox forms and a Dominant Pokémon.
When it comes to talking about longfang We are already talking about one of the best paradox Pokémon of the past by its own merit rather than by discards, being so that although this Pokémon has a low Special Attack and Special Defense, the truth is that it does not need them, since instead it has with an Attack and a Defense that completely compensates for them, giving it a chance to be an offensive or defensive Pokémon depending on what is needed in the team.
This is achieved initially with Onslaught and Point Blank, two powerful moves with which it attacks with STAB to be able to do great damage to the opponent at the cost of their Defenses. However, it is worth it, especially if we have used Quick Turn before, which is used to increase your speed. Finally, Disarm is a move that can do a lot of damage.
On the other hand we have a very similar variant, but going more defensively, so boosting this stat will allow it to get more out of Body Plank, a STAB move that few can take. And if this wasn’t enough, Earthquake and Rock Trap help him hold up better.
Bramaluna
Moonbraam is not only Salamence’s paradox form, but also features elements of its Mega Evolution
Bramaluna is based on best dragon type pokemon that has given us the nine generations, so it was obvious that it was going to be a great Pokémon even with that Dragon / Dark combination that, although it is not a relevant threat due to the drop in use of the Fairies, the truth is which remains a weakness worth using Teracrystallization in order to avoid further damage.
Be that as it may, the great assets of Bramaluna are his incredible Speed coupled with his spectacular Attackmaking a single Dragon Dance from this Pokémon put entire teams in check, especially if it has Empowering Energy equipped and knows moves such as Crush, Acrobat, Ironhead, Earthquake, or Dragon Clawwith the first and last being the ones that take advantage of their STABs.
However, although the offensive variant with Choice Band may be a great idea, the truth is that Having Respiro can help you last longer on the pitch, so that it is able to kill all those enemies that are in the field. Although, yes, he must be very careful with the smallest Fairy that may appear.
Ondulagua
Suicune’s paradox form has ended up being Ripplewater
We are not going very far from the Dragon type, since if with the previous one we had a physical attacker, in the case of Ondulagua we have an incredible Special Attacker which also has great Speed and PS and Defenses that allow it to resist rivals quite wellespecially thanks to that combination of types that only makes it immune to Fairy and Dragon.
In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that with Ripple, which (despite what it may seem) does not fall into the category of Legendary Pokémon, it only requires a set of movements to succeedwhereas if it is Modest, has Choice Glasses and uses Draco’s Comet, Flamethrower, Dragon Pulse or Hydrovapor, it will be unstoppable.
For the rest, despite not having this type, the access to Flamethrower by a Water type comes in handy, since it can do neutral damage to Fairies, as well as get rid of those Grass-type Pokémon that become annoying. And to give more details and since he needs the Sun to be stronger, using the Fire-type Teracrystallization would not hurt him at all.
Fluttermane
Fluttermane is the past paradox form of Misdreavus in Pokémon Scarlet.
It is almost ironic that the best paradox form ends up being that of an unevolved pokemonbeing so that Maneleteo, which comes from Misdreavus, is the ideal Pokémon to have a powerful special Pokémon that can destroy entire teams by itself, all it takes is a pair of Choice Glasses, to activate on Sunny Day and to have the team well trained. Special Attack.
All this is achieved thanks to its statistics, since although nothing stands out in PS and Defense, the truth is that his Speed and Special Attack do the restmaking it a fast Pokémon that is capable of colossal damage thanks to moves like Shadow Ball and STAB Lunar Force, as well as Haunting Flame, Psy Charge, or Lightning depending on our preferences.
And if all this was not enough, we have one of the best type combinations, which makes it immune to Dragon, Normal, and Fighting, as well as resistant to a large number of types. In this way, it becomes a Special and Enhanced Mimikyubeing so that it is not an exaggeration to say that we are facing the best non-legendary Pokémon of the Fairy type.
