Ranking EVERY cross-gen evolution in Pokémon from worst to best

Cross-generation evolutions are always fun as you have a sense of familiarity with the Pokemon already. Some are executed way better than others... so I ranked every one from worst to best!

Do you agree with the rankings? Let me know how you would have ranked them!

I hope an evolution for Ledian

The only time Glaceon is actually viable is in Legends ZA's Ranked Battles in earlier seasons where its a solid counter to common threats like Garchomp, Zygarde and Dragonite (also Gyarados and Swampert thanks to Freeze Dry)

Item idea
Flip Bracelet: Turns physical moves special and special moves physical.

@skyrogue1977 4 months ago

Gliscor is in the top 3, as it should be.

@jaredparks4713 4 months ago

I need a Mightyena evo, I love him but he's so bad, and Linoone got one (well, Galarian Linoone did but close enough) so I'd say it's only fair that the yeen gets one too.

Rank every miku Pokémon competitively

@Lucaccino17 4 months ago

Okay, now do what we really want. Rank them based on looks, vibes, and how to relate to the line in general

@BrawlSnorlax 4 months ago

I'm bad at Raining in Genreal, but I think my top three are.
Roserade
Froslass
Scizor.

@Clit0rim 4 months ago

Favorite cross gen. Scizor. Hopeful pokemon to get a cross gen? Zangoose and serviper

Top 10 cross-gen evolutions:
Annihilape
Scizor
Mamoswine
Ursaluna
Gliscor
Togekiss
Magmortar
Hydrapple
Roserade
Honchkrow or Electivire

Evolve Jynx, Magcargo, Kecleon, and Druddigon…..and also Grapploct (only if you can do the design justice)
(also, if Scovillain couldn’t get one probably due to being a stone evolution hence why it got a mega, then what hope does Sunflora and Heliolisk have?)

32:33 “neither having an immunity” the very arrogant dark type and it’s immunity to any and all psychic and prankster moves

@GabrielRolland-l4n 4 months ago

Ability idea
Smooth Moves: Raises the accuracy of Ball & Bomb💣 moves by three stages or less (depending on the move's Power).

@Pokemaniac88 4 months ago

I have loved Nosepass since I was a kid, and I love Probopass even more. But my favourite probably is Porygon-Z.

@derekfoxwit3058 4 months ago (edited)

My edgy boy Weavile is one of my 5 favorite Pokemon in general. Nice to see it in the Top 10 here.

@gligarguy4010 4 months ago

Lickilicky is killing it in Go currently, at least.

@travisharley5157 2 months ago

Glaceon being in the PU Tier feels so correct 😂

@GabrielRolland-l4n 4 months ago

What if there were an ability that reduced the attacker's speed stat by one stage whenever they make direct contact? Maybe they get stuck on the bearer.

@zyouri121 4 months ago

Farigiraf deserves top 10 imo. It is a World Champ, and I say this as a singles player

@TruckMorris 4 months ago

Rank all regional forms!

@user-ow2ln3pw7d 3 months ago

Ranking Blissey higher than Archaludon or Scizor was a bit painful to watch and the only part where I would disagree, scizor n8 and blissey n 4 swap their ranks and it's fair ! Apart from that, overall I think this video was very isightful and I do agree with almost everything else that you said !

Edit: I also think Farigeraf should have been slightly higher that mon is such a staple in trick room teams ! I'd swap Farig n18 with tangrowth at n 11 (been ages since I saw a tangrowth lol) !
