As much as i loved the power herb Glimmora from Chuppa, i was glad we had a standard "Reg F" team win with the Raging Bolt and Entei. 2 things I was surprised by was the prevalence of Chien Pao Dragonite (as you mention) and the scarcity of Rapid Strikes Urshi
12:17 on stream this team's Raging Bolt's Tera bugged out somehow and it showed Tera Bug; but, hear me out, it would be a cool tera: you still resist glide/wood hammer, you resist Urshifu going for cc, you still resist Lando-I's ep as grass does, but you're not weak to his sludge bomb. It's very jank but could be cool
I tried tera Stellar on Pao for hours yesterday. Tera Ghost is DEFINITELY better. Also, I absolutely despise the Scream Tail team, it’s just so annoying. Still less cancerous than Alolan Muk shenanigans but still yuck. The Dozo team is very interesting but damn, Dozo is so difficult to use. You have to plan for clear smog and intimidate, haze, fake out, spore, encore-disable shenanigans, etc. And using Dozo is at the cost of a 4th near-useless mon on the field (tatsu). I applaud those who can make Dozo work. Raging Bolt is goated. Big time. Best mon in the DLC by a landslide.
The utility of ghost is too good, I really hope Scream tail doesn't pick up in usage 🤣🤣🤣 I agree with dozo being hard to play, but Chuppa is one of the goats. And I agree about bolt, such a good mon
Scott love the vids man! Only thing is it’s tough to hear you. Sounds like you are kinda backed off the mic. Just wanna be able to hear your take more clearly.
I just spent all morning trying to figure out Alex's EVs and from the stream games, his raging bolt vould have been any raging bolt and nothing would have changed. His Chien-Pao was the MVP, outspeeding +2 max speed dondozo
Alex flutter was slower than dondozo so that crit absolutely mattered (you said flutter was gonna get a second moonblast off in the first min of your video) and that’s just not true
@@ScooteezyVGC Nope rewatch the game. In game 1 you can fast forward to 6:01:17 seconds of the day 2 stream you will see that dragonite does exactly 50 damage to Omni boost dozo WITH chien pao on Alex side of the field taking dozo health from 183 to 133. In game 3 when flutter crit dozo it had 163 hp left. Assuming dozo had zero bulk: 116+ SpA Protosynthesis Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. +2 4 HP / 0 SpD Dondozo: 76-91 (33.6 - 40.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO So if flutter got the max roll of 91 damage then dozo would have 72 health left. Now if dragonite only did 50 damage with sword of ruin active how in the world is it gonna kill dozo the next turn with no chien pao that time ? Literally even Alex admits he won on that crit and would have lost otherwise

Pao has such a good MU into the meta, gonna need to start adapting
Inner Focus ability was the real winner of this thing
Inner focus is so dam good

I've testing tera bug 🤣🤣🤣 I actually think it's solid
@@ScooteezyVGC it seems so sketchy but it's actually super solid into those torn shifu lando-i builds, you flip the table on them so hard

Brick break on Metagross is for Kingambit is what he said in his winner’s interview
That makes sense, expecially if you don't have ways to deal with it

I've been tweeking my mic volume recently, I wounded if I've maybe put it a little to low now, thanks for the feedback and support

Ye his Pao was huge in that match
I watched that Anton vs Joe game. That scream tail was soooo annoying 😭
Ye it's super hard to deal with if you dont have speed control
In theory Arcanine should rise, but wouldn’t Entei and ogerpon just speed creep Arcanine to cover?
They would, but AV entei aren't going max, ogerwater is definitely a threat
I watched the stream Dragonite won this thing Bolt didn’t really do that much but it was all really good games
Bolt was really clutch at forcing tera in the finals
Alex flutter was slower than dondozo so that crit absolutely mattered (you said flutter was gonna get a second moonblast off in the first min of your video) and that’s just not true
I'm pretty sure that without the crit it was in range of espeed
