Second that Haydunn, you are an absolute GOAT for providing this much consistent quality content. It’s definitely one of the highlights of my day when a new vid drops! Hopefully this isn’t too hard for you to produce; take care of yourself!
Loving watching these, even tho I don't really play Pokemon that much any longer. Haydunn's commentary is very good + it's interesting to see the changes Gamefreak makes in competitive
Sometimes the featured pokemon of the battle feels like a stretch when another member of the team gets more screen-time. That was not the case today. Sceptile was without a doubt the STAR of these two battles. That sweep in game 1 was absolutely astonishing, I couldn't believe how lucky you got.
I love that "on this side of the Mississippi" has become a catchphrase of yours. It's a bit of a dated saying, but that's part of what makes it so great. It makes me crack a smile every time
Man, this is one of the luckiest games i’ve ever witnessed. First, he lands a scorching sands and burns turn 1, then he gets lucky as his opponent expected a switch and used knock off, removing what could’ve been a liability and basically granting a burn. Then, he lands a fire blast. Not to mention him not getting fully paralyzed for the entire match, and being paired against deoxys-defense to swords dance to +4. Overall, it was a fun and lucky game, and yeah, i think this is the perfect way to showcase sceptile’s return and new strength.
Bro these 2 matches were insane. Sceptile just got it's broom out and swept the entire floor with both teams, no Tidy up. Love the content and amazing teams you come up with. Also 2nd match is hilarious. It looked as if a fan was trying one of your teams and got greeted by queuein up with you and decided to try out your own team against you lmao
Ive been messing around with a sceptile that uses a power herb to fire off a solar blade turn one, which triggers unburden and enables acrobatics. And then i also run leafstorm if i need more grass firepower since sceptile’s spatk is actually really good. And then also eq for coverage
Correction at 3:28 when you said that grassy terrain reduces ground damage it only reduces damage of earthquake but no other ground move is affected by grassy terrain
Here it is! i knew a video about sceptile would be great! I Honestly feel like i really Am learning something by watching these. i don't know why you're not a more popular poke-tuber. you make complicated strategies seem easily digestible and have great commentary. even a casual like me (albiet im trying to get a bit more skilled via pokemon Emerald Rogue) can enjoy and learn from the videos! Haydunn really is a man of the people, honestly. its great to see and im happy that he seems to be having a blast with it. in other news, Under the right conditions grass starters seem to be really Underrated compared to most fire and water starters and it's honestly shocking to see. i was always one of those people who picked the fire type in *every* game even if it was the 4th fire fighting (Cough Emboar Cough.) In any case, great video, great work, and i hope that you're having a blast with these! *with a couple of content creators elsewhere leaving the sphere, i think its really important to remember that you should be having fun too with this, Haydunn! If it ever gets too stressful don't be afraid to give yourself the break you need!* If anyone else is reading, hit the like button to give Haydunn a *round* of applause!... A *Round* of applause! Get it? Because the move round- alright i'll show myself the door.
I've always loved this Pokémon, probably my favorite starter. I love that it gets shed tail and I've had a lot of fun abusing shed tail plus giga drain or leech seed. It's not the greatest thing to ever exist, but it's been really fun because people forget you can do it and when you're fast setting up the seeds to then switch out and leave a sub for something else like a focus punching golurk? Kind of fun
Too bad Shed Tail is banned, since Shed Tail is part of Sceptile's movepool now. Think about it- Sitrus Berry + Unburden + Shed Tail, you can run Acro EQ Leaf Blade and Shed Tail max Attack max HP and pass tails and take souls.
fyi, GrassyTerrain doesnt half the damage of all ground type moves, just specifically Earthquake/Bulldoze/Magnitude,, EarthPower was going at full strength at 3:30 :]
Can we get a team centered around the new Mythical Pokemon? Maybe with all the DLC monsters in one team like, Orerpon, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti along with the Mythical and another Mon
Dude I really love how you’ve committed to the daily uploads and every single one is a banger. Is there somewhere we can copy paste your teams into showdown and try em out? Kinda like how pokeaim does
Hands down one of my favorite channels. You have always been entertaining but the way you have made small changes even with the intro does not go unnoticed thanks for your hard work
I've been meaning to point out that the grassy terrain doesn't reduce all earth type damage. In fact, it only affects earthquake and bulldoze (previously also magnitude, when it was in the game), so it didn't affect earth power at all.
Can you do a video on how to beat baton pass, substitute, spore and moody Smeargle? They just wait for their stats to boost and then switch into one that has stored power. It’s annoying.
There’s no chance the second player didn’t watch your Malamar video because only Hayden could come up with something as ridiculous and awesome as sticky web + court change + contrary = sweep
Yooo my last comment was a quip about you making a birthday joke, but it's actually your birthday upon recording this! Happy birthday, man! Been loving your videos, both for the cutting edge strategy and really clever turns of phrase during the commentary 😂 Cheers, my friend 🥳
My favorite pokemon of all time! So glad to see it again. I wish it would get some realy nice sound based move, so it could take advantage of throat spray + unburden
@@StarforceSF it WOULD in theory have activated regardless if it hit or missed or failed, however I've just now learned grass whistle was one of the many moves culled from the game during Gen 8
@@NaskaRudd Never mind then.... I guess you have to go with screech.... which however only reduces physical defense. Imagine if it could learn metal sound or bug buzz
Hell yeah bro I'm so happy you showed off my original favorite Hoenn starter!! I'm going to pair this with grassy seed and MONKE (Rillaboom) just like I do with Sneasler! 🫡

The whole Psychic Terrain strat is very interesting. Activating his Unburden and preventing priority is so cool.
Awesome
Also nice to see the seeds being used. I like those items. Should have been affected by Harvest.
These daily uploads are outrageously consistent and we super appreciate it, thanks for the ridiculous amount of content lately, congrats on the 300k

I’m tuned in on the daily fr and I’ve stopped playing this game for months
Love this hayber. I get a daily dose of haydunn wifi battle crack. It's been 2 days since the last upload and I'm going through withdrawals 🫠
Sandy Shocks:
"you're paralyzed!"
Sceptile:
"Idgaf"
😂😂😂
"Sceptile is paralyzed, so it may be unable to move!"
Sceptile: "I disagree."
Sceptile: Im unburdened

I like to use endure leichi berry unburden acrobatics, very fun
Rhyperior gets crazy coverage because it's Rhydon's evolution, and Rhydon gets lots of love from the devs as it was THE LITERAL FIRST POKEMON EVER 🤯😂
Sceptile is out here merely pretending to be paralyzed.
"is it viable? probably not. Is it fun and stupid? yes." Laughed out loud!
The paralyze break through 5 times in a row like you had some REAL loaded dice was wild xD Also tanking things I just could not believe-
Special Rhyperior? That's a treat.
And aww yeah that fire blast! It's always a flex.
That nickname: drillionaire
Totally boss.

Head Smash is so strong it killed two Rmapardos in the same move.
Shiny Sceptile is cosplaying Feraligatr hahaha

Seeing Haydunn take on Haydunn at the end there was amazing. Hanging on by the one HP really came in clutch.

what nature you running?
That second match really shows why strategy doesn’t mean everything, it also takes skill
Correction at 3:28 when you said that grassy terrain reduces ground damage it only reduces damage of earthquake but no other ground move is affected by grassy terrain
Also bulldoze and magnitude but eq is the only relevant one typically
@@ronnycrawf2441 Bulldoze is seen in doubles a lot.
I wish Sceptile's Special movepool was at least half as diverse as its Physical.
Air Slash and Earth Power would’ve been great
It should also get Hyper Voice for unburden + Throat Spray shenanigans 😆
12:10
This is a Head Smash Rampardos, you can open it using a Head Smash Rampardos.
rhyperior taking our rillaboom is too funny
Gen 1 mons rollin up to the function in hydro pump shoes, solar beam pants, thunder t shirt, fire blast jacket and ice beam shades
Anyone saying that Sceptile is Paralyzed is a liar.
Love to see my boy Sceptile killing it! Great video!!
I foresaw this lol and it’s why I was waiting for the DLC to use unburden Sceptile. Flatter in doubles is great with mirror herb too.
i don't believe grassy terrain halves earth power damage. it was the bug typing that allowed spider to survive
300k baby! Kudos mate, well deserved. The quality and consistency of your uploads show that the only way is up!
Spent the past few hours working out this build and my boy haydunn has already gone and done it. Hay! Already Dunn
[Hay]! Already [Dunn]
Smart minds think alike 🧐
Christmas may be over but Hayden is providing us with gifts in the form of Sceptile sweeps! You love to see it!
we’ve battled online and I was so shocked to actually battle you! I eventually lost but I really enjoyed it!
Sceptile is my favorite Pokémon from that generation. Thank you for using it. I might steal your team lol

an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
a head for a head makes all the Rampardos extinct

Going against your own tactics is scary but also kinda fun
Sceptile needs his att stats switched. Shame it has been done yet 😑
I feel weird that Sceptile is clearly a melee fighter/sword user and Shiftry is a fan/wind power user but their stats say otherwise LOL
Please tell me you don’t still have hope for that to happen
mega sceptile Z be like
Nobody, literally nobody
Haydunn - hey guys so i made mega beedrill a crazy special attacker
Sceptile taking down the Deoxys reminds me of when Ash’s Sceptile did that in the anime
Saw 'ol dozerface on your team in the second video, but you never even sent him out. I demand a Bastiodon video as compensation.
Bro I’m loving the consistent uploads, and having 2 battles each video! When’s the next playthrough / nuzlocke?
Seeing a rilaboom lose to a special rhyperior is crazy
Damn, living in with 1 HP. The hax bro
Knew a Sceptile vid was coming after he totally finessed Rampardos’ spotlight in the last video
The “I thought hurricane season was over” is an ELITE reference.
Hands down one of my favorite channels. You have always been entertaining but the way you have made small changes even with the intro does not go unnoticed thanks for your hard work
WTF is Sceptile's stat still a special attacker's? It can't even use its signature move with those stats
Imagine getting whooped by a crippled tree
The earthquake to take down the giraffe made me laugh so hard. It’s so unexpected that things would work out so well. Hilarious and amazing.
I've been meaning to point out that the grassy terrain doesn't reduce all earth type damage. In fact, it only affects earthquake and bulldoze (previously also magnitude, when it was in the game), so it didn't affect earth power at all.
Daily content that's not from Showdown. Great stuff, man. Keep it up. (Unless you can't or life happens.)
Sceptile was my first starter, and the only Pokémon I soft reset to get shiny and actually got, this is awesome that he’s getting some lovin 🎉
I would prefer sharpness on this Pokemon rather than unburden, and switch its atk with sp atk and give it more slicing moves
these videos make my inner child jump for joy lmao
Haydunn you have quickly become my favorite poketuber. Great creative teams and funny lines. I love it.
GameFreak should switch Sceptile's attack stats. Leaf Blade is its signature move and I never liked special Sceptile
The prophecy foretold of this day...leafy boi cometh.
The mon nicknames are always the best part
I feel like the Hoenn starters are the best in this gen. All of em got something going for them
I can never get enough of your vids
We love your videos!! Awesome content!!
Thank you so much!!
Web court change is awesome
I thought hurricane season was over!
Se Ptolemy went hard! Hope to see some more let’s plays
I used your team and man the Mala video was so fun and it's an amazing strategy I love your videos man
that 1 HP Sceptile caught them off guard for sure
Can you do a video on how to beat baton pass, substitute, spore and moody Smeargle? They just wait for their stats to boost and then switch into one that has stored power. It’s annoying.
i really hope eevee gets a buff. it generally just struggles with attack.
We have sneazler at home ah mon
There’s no chance the second player didn’t watch your Malamar video because only Hayden could come up with something as ridiculous and awesome as sticky web + court change + contrary = sweep
And the Rampardos too. No way they aren't a watcher of this channel
Yooo my last comment was a quip about you making a birthday joke, but it's actually your birthday upon recording this!
Happy birthday, man! Been loving your videos, both for the cutting edge strategy and really clever turns of phrase during the commentary 😂
Cheers, my friend 🥳
Man, facing Drayton's Sceptile was a nasty wake-up call to how good it is...
Anyway, love your work!
Great vid goat keep em coming
"no more fuckin around, i'm bringing in the giraffe" i lost it lmao
Haydunn still bringing fire in 2024!!! Lol
I’m really curious about what is your strongest, perfect team you like to use ?
Sceptile: who are you?
Meowscarada: i am you but better
My favorite pokemon of all time! So glad to see it again. I wish it would get some realy nice sound based move, so it could take advantage of throat spray + unburden
Would grass whistle work?

I never EVER expected any of my favorite pokemon to be any good. Let alone my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE
My prayers were answered 🙌🏻
bro's thunder wave was broken 😭
The legend himself, Haydunn, delivered a video showcasing my favourite Pokémon. Keep it up bro! ❤
Hell yeah bro I'm so happy you showed off my original favorite Hoenn starter!!
I'm going to pair this with grassy seed and MONKE (Rillaboom) just like I do with Sneasler! 🫡
Pokémon request: use smeargle with population bomb
That sticky web-cinder-malamar strat did wonders for me in sword and shield. Love that one!
When you finally get a taste of your own medicine, but you're already immuned.
I love the daily content, the best RUclipsr out there 💯
Sceptile is secretly Limber in that first match! 😂
Keep the two battle videos!!
Rhyperior finally getting some love, haven’t seen my favourite big guy since the start of sword and shield
I think I just battled you! I was using a Metagross with trailblaze
My lord, the luck with the para was insane. Can't tell ya how awesome the daily uploads are, thanks so much.
Not Sceptile doing the Naruto run as it nyooms
Let's go I been waiting for the Haydunn upload today 😎
