Ahh awesome live as always Joey, I'm enjoying these showcase videos a lot so far :] I'm curious to see how Kommo-O will fare in the lower tiers ('cause it's obviously not OU material), I think it'll have much more potential to shine there! Anyway, looking forward to the next one, keep it up man :]
A Kommo-o event is definitely possible, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I think it's more likely that he'll get better moves as tutor/egg moves in the next game, whatever it is. Game Freak also needs to make Clanging Scales a physical attack.
Can't wait for you to use Drampa! That thing has a monstrous movepool. I use a Calm Mind, Roost, Hyper Voice, Shadow Ball set on it and it's so much fun! Great live, this opened my eyes that there is another item for Marowak than just the Thick Club. Marowak seems to be super good.
Ey Joey you should try Eject Button Tapu Lele + a setup mon that is normally weak to priority (possibly a Psychic type) Or Calm Mind Tapu Lele with max Defense and Speed with maybe a Life Orb or the terrain-extending item That thing is both a great support mon and a special monster.
It would be interesting if brutal swing had a secondary effect besides being a spread move. It's basically just a worse version of thief in singles (even though there's no difference on mega scizor, obviously, it's not like you'll ever lose the mega stone)
Lol. I love how Kommo-O got out shined by literally everything else in it's own showcase. It's like if I went to showcase my basketball skills to the world vs NBA players. I hope it's physical set isn't this useless.
Dragonitinite example: liquidation 85 bp gets doubled to 170 then stab to 255 base power plus it makes the otherwise neutral fire damage resisted instead
You should try an Extreme Evoboost Eevee baton pass team with Kartana, it's won me quite a few games. I'll have a Togekiss to set up reflect and light screen then have Eevee work its magic, but I'm sure theres a safer way
31:09 That Z-Celebrate > Baton Pass was so anticlimactic. Also, isn't Thief just better than Brutal Swing for singles since it has more PP and 60BP as well now?
That minior was wack. You need 180 speed EVs and a +speed nature to outspeed max+ pheromosa before your shields are down, but after a shell smash. In order to be outsped by Greninja, it needs to have a neutral speed nature and have fewer than 132 speed EVs. I don't know what your opponent was thinking would happen. Maybe they were praying you weren't protean?
Kommo-o would be much better if it got Drain Punch. It's probably going to UU, but on the physical side, Machamp, Conkeldurr, Mienshao, and more hit harder and all have some form of priority. And even if it's mixed, Infernape and Lucario can do better in that regard with their higher speed, special attack, and wider movepool. Overall, Kommo-o is a bit underwhelming, but can still be a threat
I don't get why at 25:00 ur opponent doesn't just click thunder over and over in the last 3 turns of rain+terrain Nvm didn't know this thing has lightnin rod
I hope they leave aegislash in OU. It really keeps so many things in check this gen with all the bug/fighting and fairy types running around. If they ban it, they're just going to end up banning everything else too.
Sharonda Leaky Jackson aegislash is just the easiest answer and its a powerhouse itself. if it gets banned we might see different mons rise which will change the meta too
Jackerby Jr I just feel like the meta is unhealthier without aegis. youll end up having to ban most of the beasts and most legendaries. Yes, it's very powerful and yes most teams will carry aegislash. But think about the end of ORAS; Lando-T was on every team because it was a good answer to the majority of the metagame. There are answers to aegislash and mons that can handle it.
id rather not have MORE chomps and mences to look out for although i do think it can potentially be in uu/bl cause of its flaws. its pretty hard to create a balanced ou dragon but i think kommo-o is one of gamefreaks closest shots at it
i was kinda referring to them on release on their respective releases and for their following few years they commanded the metagame garchomps speed tier was so dumb in gen 4's era, mence was insane when phys/special split happened. they got checks over the later gens and fairies helped, but the possibility of making another broken dragon isn't out of the question, which is why im glad that kommo-o isn't the case.
Why do people run White Herb on Minior? It doesn't really save it from anything. Focus Sash is better since you live a normally killing hit AND get the Shields Down boost along with Acrobatics (provided Stealth Rock is kept clear) on the turn you SS.
Frittzy 556 As a dd-er, Kommo-o is outshone by M-mence, as well as many other dragon mons. Rn I suggest using him as a specs set, as it is the best set of his. When he drops to UU he could compete with regular mence for best dd-er, but idk. May even Warren a drop to BL2. GL with ur team fren, this is just my 2 cents :]
I would ask for a drampa showcase, but after using it a bit. Its too shit with all the fast fighting types running around. You can run a assault vest with it and come in on special attackers for free, but then its too weak to really K.O anything (That would be the reason for beserk). Probably U.U
kommo-o is 1 that had me like: rektagemon incoming - and then it totally gets rekt by me in nearly every game, no trouble - bark is worse than it's bite imo
ALSO SPDEF MAROWAK IS A MONSTER GOOD LORD
TRASH VS. what?
TRASH VS. oh
pokeaimMD Protean should be possible by breeding a ash-greninja and getting lucky
+Zach Condel no this is not possible. Ash-greninja cannot breed.
Joseph Jones thanks for the correction
joey do not overestimate kartana's special defense, psychic from tapu lele probably ohkos
252 SpA Tapu Lele Psychic vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Kartana in Psychic Terrain: 265-312 (102.3 - 120.4%) -- guaranteed OHKOgood lord. LOL WHAT IS A RESIST
pokeaimMD lookin like shedinja without wonder guard
+Kidusrox that attack stat though
i'm excited to use this mon in lower tiers or when aegislash is banned. :]
mimikeu or however you spell it can still SD behind sub and OHKO with shadow claw or maybe even sneak
pokeaimMD I can't wait for the SD set once the Drain Punch tutor shows up
You ended up posting a Live today :]. Love the way you listen to your subs!! haha
haha i mean a lot of people asked and the team seemed fun so why not
Hey joey what happen to the outro??
Are you sure this wasn't a showcase for Marowack? Haha. Great live!
Why was your opponent running water absorb on araquanid when water bubble is so much better?
John Smith what does water bubble even do? It's description on showdown is confusing me lol.
unixexpert92 Resist fire. 100% boost to water attacks. Immune to burns.
"either Way im switching to scizor and bullet punch"
bullet punch gets negated by psychic terrain
also why would he run Lunge on aquanid instead of leech life XD
Joey's thumbnails are always so crisp!
This is definately going to be one of the most diverse meta games and I am so excited.
Dorian Wilde yeah
Ahh awesome live as always Joey, I'm enjoying these showcase videos a lot so far :] I'm curious to see how Kommo-O will fare in the lower tiers ('cause it's obviously not OU material), I think it'll have much more potential to shine there! Anyway, looking forward to the next one, keep it up man :]
is it a possibility they could add a kommo-o with what it needs as a mystery gift :'(
why does he not have high jump kick or close combat
A Kommo-o event is definitely possible, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I think it's more likely that he'll get better moves as tutor/egg moves in the next game, whatever it is. Game Freak also needs to make Clanging Scales a physical attack.
It's so good to see Marowak shine !
I hope to see a Mimikyu showcase someday.
Kommo-o should get aura sphere.
Young_Raymond kommo-o should get close combat, drain punch or something like that but alas
Young_Raymond and CC and drain punch :/ but definitely one of my favorite mon this gen
Booster Gold It's such a cool mon but frustratingly underwhelming offensively.
Literally any fighting move. I'm shocked it didn't get CC or even at the least Drain Punch
Kommo-o gets Sky uppercut, which isn't the best move but it's something I guess. at least Superpower should be an option
I remember when defog first came out and I was so confused haha :]
Can't wait for you to use Drampa! That thing has a monstrous movepool. I use a Calm Mind, Roost, Hyper Voice, Shadow Ball set on it and it's so much fun! Great live, this opened my eyes that there is another item for Marowak than just the Thick Club. Marowak seems to be super good.
41:43 "What rocks do you have to polish?" Haha
I absolutely LOVE the burn change. Crap like Scald is so much easier to deal with now that it only does 6% of your HP.
There is one more beast gen7 released and its called tapu poey ..... that scizor play ... ahhh it felt so good.
That piece of steel origami gets sacred sword but Gallade doesn't!? *Siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*
I am sadly annoyed at not being able to see what the names and types of the opponents pokemons are when you hoover over them Joey
Just as a tip Joey: On the Smeargle game you could've lead off with Tapu Koko and Volt switched out since Electric Terrain stops sleep status.
Might as well change the title to Alolan Marowak/Kartana showcase
Not sure if underestimating or overestimating. :]
glad we got showdown today thanks man
I was going to sleep but I just saw you uploaded.. Fuck school tomorrow, this is much more important.. :)
Ey Joey you should try Eject Button Tapu Lele + a setup mon that is normally weak to priority (possibly a Psychic type)
Or Calm Mind Tapu Lele with max Defense and Speed with maybe a Life Orb or the terrain-extending item
That thing is both a great support mon and a special monster.
Wow, I just called Specs Kommo-o last video. I didn't realize Chimp had the same idea, either. I am proud.
That Mimikyu sweep 😍😍
It would be interesting if brutal swing had a secondary effect besides being a spread move. It's basically just a worse version of thief in singles (even though there's no difference on mega scizor, obviously, it's not like you'll ever lose the mega stone)
Lol. I love how Kommo-O got out shined by literally everything else in it's own showcase. It's like if I went to showcase my basketball skills to the world vs NBA players. I hope it's physical set isn't this useless.
it's good, but the main reason is because there are more fairies being played more often, and there are more walls to wall it off
araquanid bubble ability is so cool
Daze Xz yeah man that 100 DMG boost before stab fire resist
Daze Xz how does the ability work?
Dragonitinite example: liquidation 85 bp gets doubled to 170 then stab to 255 base power plus it makes the otherwise neutral fire damage resisted instead
Daze Xz so it just straight up doubles damage for water type attacks in addition to fire resist and burn immunity?
Joey burn up arcanine just keeps on failing for me, is this suppose to happen?
yea I dnt think u can use protean greninja prebank because u can't breed with battle bond greninja... that's what I heard...
Was that Araquanid not water bubble if you burned it? I'm confused, why would you NOT use water bubble?
Keeping the live Kommo-o showcase so you don't have to touch it until the meta game gets balanced I see you Joey ; ]
20:28 psychic terrain prevented shadow sneak anyway so it was gg Joey :]
Use Araquanid my dude :]
imanowlexterminator Water Bubble is broken af
When the showcased Pokemon doesn't do crap lmao (shotouts to Alolan Marowak/Kartana).
when u got the glasses dragon on deck but the scissors alien keep sweepin
You should try an Extreme Evoboost Eevee baton pass team with Kartana, it's won me quite a few games. I'll have a Togekiss to set up reflect and light screen then have Eevee work its magic, but I'm sure theres a safer way
Anyone remember when that Bullet Punch did 9%?
as i was watching this video i ran into someone using this team and countered the hell out of this man
Can't wait to get a Kommo-o in the actual game
Komm-o-mo-oh-o the god
31:09 That Z-Celebrate > Baton Pass was so anticlimactic. Also, isn't Thief just better than Brutal Swing for singles since it has more PP and 60BP as well now?
great analysis, great game
That minior was wack. You need 180 speed EVs and a +speed nature to outspeed max+ pheromosa before your shields are down, but after a shell smash. In order to be outsped by Greninja, it needs to have a neutral speed nature and have fewer than 132 speed EVs.
I don't know what your opponent was thinking would happen. Maybe they were praying you weren't protean?
Maybe you could do Alolan Muk? It beats some of the Tapus so that's nice.
Kommo-o would be much better if it got Drain Punch. It's probably going to UU, but on the physical side, Machamp, Conkeldurr, Mienshao, and more hit harder and all have some form of priority. And even if it's mixed, Infernape and Lucario can do better in that regard with their higher speed, special attack, and wider movepool.
Overall, Kommo-o is a bit underwhelming, but can still be a threat
Can you do a sets and showcase video for Golisopod?
Nohb'dy 11 search for pokemen's video called why should you use golisopod. It's a good set overview
Moveset and nature for Tapu Lele? :]
Nice marowak showcase xD
Do TAPOO BOOLOO!
Romme Hrynovets tapu boolin
Romme Hrynovets tapu Ballin
You should try a trick room team with Mimikyu, Buzzswole and Primarina w life orb its hilarious
Hey Joey, do you think you can do a showcase with Ash-Greninja? I'd like to see what you'd do to make that guy work. :]
I love Kartana, it's such a monster
Joey what do you think of my favorite gen 7 mon Golisopod?
I don't get why at 25:00 ur opponent doesn't just click thunder over and over in the last 3 turns of rain+terrain
Nvm didn't know this thing has lightnin rod
What do you think Joey, what tier will Mimikyuu be going, I think like RU
up until today thought clanging scales raised your defence
I hope they leave aegislash in OU. It really keeps so many things in check this gen with all the bug/fighting and fairy types running around. If they ban it, they're just going to end up banning everything else too.
Sharonda Leaky Jackson no way in hell that thing is staying 😂
Sharonda Leaky Jackson aegislash is just the easiest answer and its a powerhouse itself. if it gets banned we might see different mons rise which will change the meta too
Jackerby Jr I just feel like the meta is unhealthier without aegis. youll end up having to ban most of the beasts and most legendaries.

There are answers to aegislash and mons that can handle it.
you say it like banning stupid mons is a bad thing LMAO
Best Aegislash movesets before his ban?
Joey, do you think Xurkitree will be OU?
eh, i think its outshine by tapu koko as an electric type. uu or bl imo
Honestly, I think that it will. Either OU, or it will be a really bad Ubers.
shirley blair there is no way Xurk is gonna be Ubers lmao wtf
ultra beasts should be banned from the world lol
+pokeaimMD Pretty sure Tapu Koko will be banned soon. Therefore I guess Xurk will be OU even though I would love to have it in UU
Hey Joey, are you looking to do any wifi battles soon?
Have you tried AV Primarina ? Sooo good
Why Naive on TapuKuku (and +4 EVs in attack) if you don't have any physical attacks? Better if you ran Timid.
Lets all thank arceus for no more stall
No more stall? Lol Toxapex exists...
BieberSucksCock100 toxapest*
weird girl Don't forget the steel flying dude with leech seed.
And Mantine got buffed. More HP and roost for balance/stall. lol
wait I just noticed that baton pass is no longer limited to just speed in gen 7 :ooo
Ivan Z Is just because the z move, u can't run sd and sub with a speed boost scolipede
So is komo-o the pseudo of this gen?
Calvin Malagon yeah
Calvin Malagon well actually there are 2 pseudos this gen because wishi washi in school form sums up 620 in total
kommo-o is so bad :[ goodra v2 why cant we have nice pseudos anymore
id rather not have MORE chomps and mences to look out for
although i do think it can potentially be in uu/bl cause of its flaws. its pretty hard to create a balanced ou dragon but i think kommo-o is one of gamefreaks closest shots at it
Nezergy mence was BL tho, just the mega is busted
i was kinda referring to them on release
on their respective releases and for their following few years they commanded the metagame
garchomps speed tier was so dumb in gen 4's era, mence was insane when phys/special split happened. they got checks over the later gens and fairies helped, but the possibility of making another broken dragon isn't out of the question, which is why im glad that kommo-o isn't the case.
what about hydragon
Why carry lefties instead of thick club on marowak? There are so many better willo ers if that's what you were keeping it for
longevity. it checks the ubs
I can't wait until they fix up the sprites and give them more animation. that'll be cool
Aye can u make a necrozma team? Trying to find a good layout for it but i cant seem to do so
When are gen 7 drops beginning? It'd be really fun to play gen 7 UU :)
Matheus Castello I know right I feel like quite a few New pokes are going to drop into uu
Booster Gold Yeah, most gen 7 mons probably arent viable enoh for OU
I swear I versed a team exactly like yours
maybe you did, chimpact passed it to me
pokeaimMD maybe, thanks for replying!
lol i faced a person using a team joey made.
but he lost =/
I hope he meant Salazzle doesn't have the best defense otherwise great video
Why Brutal Swing on Scizor? It makes contact, and is lower BP than Knock Off and Night Slash EDIT:Technician, my bad
Yo man can you do a moveset video on Tapu Koko? ?
Hazard 4yahealth chimpact did one :]
Rewind thanks man :]
Why do people run White Herb on Minior? It doesn't really save it from anything. Focus Sash is better since you live a normally killing hit AND get the Shields Down boost along with Acrobatics (provided Stealth Rock is kept clear) on the turn you SS.

This is my team I made for Kommo-O any thoughts, changes I should make?
Frittzy 556 As a dd-er, Kommo-o is outshone by M-mence, as well as many other dragon mons. Rn I suggest using him as a specs set, as it is the best set of his. When he drops to UU he could compete with regular mence for best dd-er, but idk. May even Warren a drop to BL2. GL with ur team fren, this is just my 2 cents :]
I.E. Dragonite, even zygarde ATM. Maybe make a team for him after the chaos has cleared and he is a UU or RU mon if you wanna use a DD set.
So, pokeaim, where's:
Lycanroc-Midnight
Primarina
Vikavolt
Golisopod
and Ninetales? :'<
i mean if you plan to do every pokemon this gen then ok nvm
GRENINJA BYCK I LOVE IT
So is Protean Gren actually available in Sun/Moon pre-bank?
Joey could you please do a live With Decidueye?
So I just checked in game, and Protean Greninja does not seem to be legal. RIP
Can you not use thick club with A-Marosmack?
I wish the sprites get updated soon
I would ask for a drampa showcase, but after using it a bit. Its too shit with all the fast fighting types running around. You can run a assault vest with it and come in on special attackers for free, but then its too weak to really K.O anything (That would be the reason for beserk). Probably U.U
When will pokeBank be enabled?
So now you can baton pass speed plus other boosts?
Base 181 atk??
That's going on the list.
...are we just going to ignore the fact that one of your opponents (the 3rd opponent) name is "Long Dong Hair"?
Is there any difference in using Brutal Swing over Thief? They both have 60 base power
Brutal Swing hits everyone in Double Battles, but also more Pokémon have access to Brutal Swing as opposed to Thief
what would be the best nature for niheligo?
please do a z-splash mimikyu showcase
kommo-o is 1 that had me like: rektagemon incoming - and then it totally gets rekt by me in nearly every game, no trouble - bark is worse than it's bite imo
I'm confused, if this is going on pre-bank rules then why can his first opponent use an aegislash?
Will you play OU Pokebank?
Does Thick Club work with A-Marowak?
sweetcow3 yep
why aren't people using thick club, rock head with STAB flare blitz and double edge???
Idk why but I thought Moonblast couldnt hit Bulletproof mons
