In this part of the video, the creator introduces a topic on the top 10 best non-legendary Pokémon to use in the challenging game “Radical Red,” which features over 1,000 Pokémon. They emphasize that these picks are based on individual Pokémon performance rather than team compositions previously discussed. The list starts with Belly Bolt, a new addition in the 4.0 patch, praised for its defensive capabilities and unique ability, Electromorph, making it a strong electric-type choice. Following Belly Bolt, the number nine entry is Greninja, noted for its offensive potential and strategic prowess in competitive gameplay, boasting powerful abilities that make it a top-tier glass cannon.

In this segment of the video, Greninja’s unique abilities are highlighted. Its Protein ability allows it to change its typing to match the last move used, granting strong offensive versatility with multiple STAB options and quick utility moves like taunt and spikes. Despite relatively low defenses, this makes Greninja a valuable asset in many scenarios. Another key ability, Battle Bond, transforms Greninja into a formidable wall breaker with high attack stats and powerful water and dark moves, making it particularly effective on rain teams as a strong special breaker and cleaner.

Additionally, the video discusses Mega Gallade, focusing on its upgraded ability in Radical Red, now named Sharpness, matching its functionality in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. This ability boosts the effectiveness of key moves such as Sacred Sword and Psycho Cut, making Mega Gallade a top-tier Mega Evolution with a lethal combination of speed and attack. It is complemented by a wide range of coverage options like Shadow Sneak, Leaf Blade, and Earthquake. Even without Mega Evolution, Gallade remains a potent wall breaker with strong attack capabilities.

In this segment of the video, the discussion revolves around potent Pokémon options in competitive gameplay. It highlights Glade’s offensive capabilities with life orb or Choice Span and its sharpness ability, comparable to its Mega Evolution. Blissey is mentioned as an exceptional special defensive wall due to its high HP (255) and special defense (135), capable of withstanding special attacks and applying constant damage with moves like seismic toss and toxic, while healing with softboiled. Dragonite, another focus, is praised for its versatility, with abilities like inner Focus (preventing flinching and intimidate) and multiscale (enhancing both offense and defense). The use of Dragonite with choice band for immediate physical threats and its role in hazard removal or statusing is discussed. Finally, the segment introduces Mega Swampert as a top option for rain teams, noting its water and ground typing as a significant advantage.

In this part of the video, the focus is on discussing Mega Swampert and its strategic advantages, particularly in rain teams. Mega Swampert, with its high attack, better bulk, and Swift Swim ability, becomes a significant threat due to its speed and access to powerful moves like Flip Turn, Ice Punch, and Earthquake. It’s highlighted as a crucial Pokémon for late-game opponents such as Blaine and Bruno. Additionally, while Mega Swampert relies on synergy with partners like Pelipper, it is a formidable offensive option and remains useful outside of its Mega Evolution form as a strong defensive wall.

The segment then moves on to Mega Audino, emphasized as the strongest normal and fairy-type Pokémon optimal for tackling the Elite Four in Radical Red. A key detail is its Regenerator ability, which enhances its role as a wish passer and its defensive versatility due to high HP, defense, and special defense stats.

Finally, the video touches on Skeledirge, introduced in the 4.0 patch, noting it as one of the best fire starters in Radical Red due to its fire and ghost typing, providing multiple immunities and strong offensive and defensive capabilities.

In this part of the video, the discussion centers around two potent Pokémon starters, Skeledirge and Meowscarada, and their usability throughout the game. Skeledirge is praised for its versatile bulk and high damage output, especially with its signature move, Torch Song, which boosts its special attack. However, it faces challenges in early game battles due to weaknesses against the first two gyms, making it less optimal until later stages.

In contrast, Meowscarada excels in the early game, thanks to its offensive prowess, particularly against the first two gym leaders, Brock and Misty. It is compared to Greninja but focuses on physical attacks with moves like U-turn, Knock Off, Sucker Punch, and its signature move, Flower Trick. Meowscarada also has supportive options like Taunt, Spikes, and Toxic Spikes, making it a strong choice from start to finish.

The video then highlights Slowpoke and its evolution, Slowbro, specifically Mega Slowbro, as the top choice for the late game. Mega Slowbro’s immense value lies in its Regenerator ability, which offers significant advantages against most teams, making it crucial for defeating the Elite Four and highly regarded in terms of importance, even compared to roaming legendaries.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses how Mega Slowbro is an effective Pokémon for handling various challenging opponents in Radical Red 4.1. Its combination of teleport pivot and regenerator abilities makes it particularly strong against teams like those of Lorelei, Bruno, Drake, and even the champion. Mega Slowbro also pressures late-game opponents such as Claire, Brendan, and Giovanni through moves like Body Press and Slack Off.
