nice video and that bird go crazy in showdown
Sigilyph is easily among my favorite pokemon, with a really interesting and unique origin as well as an amazing combination of stats, movepool, and abilities. I used one in both Black and X and neither of them disappointed me, and since those times i've grown to like it a lot more than i felt that a lot of other people did. I'm happy to see it getting more recognition as the years have gone on because it really is a great mon.
How good was Cherrim?
This guy was a part of my first Black/white adventure and it was my 2nd best Pokémon. It has a special place in my heart
When I was 8 I always thought that Sigilyph was Unown's evolution especially since Unown and Sigilyph are tied to ancient ruins, I was so heart broken when I found out that wasn't true
Sigilyph has always been one of my favorite gen 5 pokemon. Such a good design and wide variety of sets you can run on it
In Random Battles, facing this thing can be a pain in the ass as it is bulky, fast and needs to be taken down quickly or else you just lose outright.
But when you have it, the opponent rages as you cosmic power in their face.
Love using this mon. It's stat spread and abilities give it a lot of flexibility in how it can be used, similar to Clefable in a way.
Finally one of my favorite pokemon gets its own video!
FINALLY!!!
always add this boy to the team in a playthrough its pretty cracked
00:24 ahh the woke floating totem Pokémon gotcha!
Does the main body look like a melon to anyone else?
Also, I am surprised that Stored Power was only popular in Gen V.
I really have grown a soft spot for it tbh this last year I have grown fond of a tone of Pokemon I never really thought about like druggigon I really like it while sure it’s not the debts dragon type but that’s ok and I really want to see my non pseudo dragon types like you do have a few but we could do with more maybe some early game ones with actually good evolution levels looking at you noibat
legitimate question, would anyone else listern to these videos in podcast form on something like spotify
I find it funny that a decent counter to Sigilyph was my girl Coalossal
How GREAT was Aegislash ACTUALLY? Or we pull the swords ourselves
Dang. Gen 8 Sigilyph went wild.
Holy crap, I JUST realized that the two black trident looking things on it's side are supposed to be bird feet and the things on the bottom are a bird tail.
Drapion, Smoochum, Spinarak, Spinda, Cleffa, Clefairy.
Do Swoobat, Mantine, Druddigon, Lilligant, Latios, Sawk and Throh, Heatmor, Magcargo, Tyrogue, Ekans, Koffing, Grimer, Staryu, Pichu, Magby, Elekid, Slugma, Wooper, Carnivine, Sylveon.
Always liked this thing. Something different in a sea of bird Pokemon. It can be pretty beast in game, too. Unique and a little bit creepy.
Wow I didn’t know it was THAT good huh
The best sleeper pick in Pokémon
Can we get muh boy Swak next
Those shirts unironically go so hard, made me chuckle when I first saw them, for sure gonna grab one!
Sig is 6v6 random pokemon showdown nightmare
What is Sigilyph supposed to be anyway? I grew up with BW and still have no idea what it’s meant to be. A bird? A flying totem pole? A mythical creature?
I'm a Simple man. When I see "How GOOD was Swoobat ACTUALLY?", I will click.
banned 4 times in 1 gen, impressive
