I like how Haydunn tries not to clickbait his titles but still plays the game "Decidueye IS A BEAST" but instead "Decidueye CAN BE A BEAST" Your humility goes noticed
Personally, I like that it has that 100 Sp Atk stat. It means you can have it be a full special attacker if you want, or even a mixed attacker, and Pokemon that can be mixed attackers are probably my favorites in the whole game.
Honestly, it's super unfortunate. It doesn't hit hard enough in either attack stat to be a very good mixed attacker. It's too fast for trick room and too slow for standard play, and it has some bulk but not enough to really be a functional tank of anything. It's all around mediocre and that's really sad. It can be fun in a casual playthrough, but is basically the definition of unoptimal. Not only this, but it had the unfortunate status of being outshined in its own debut generation despite having a rare typing, by Dhelmise, who hits harder, tanks better, is slower and can take good advantage of trick room, and it has an ability that gives it an effective third stab typing and also has a signature trapping move. It is worse Dhelmise from its own generation, unless you just really want that special set. And to make matters worse, they did the same thing in Hisui to some degree with Hisuian Lilligant despite the it being stronger in 5 of 6 stats. They slowed it down though. Still not enough to be useful in trick room but notably worse for standard fields, and it hits harder but not really harder enough. If the sp atk and speed swapped, it could be a monster with Scrappy protecting it from Intimidate, but I rather use leaf guard Victory Dance Lilligant to outspeed and crush everything at the cost of slight bulk compared to Decidueye. At least that one is somewhat of a toss up, but the speed advantage can really benefit Lilligant since it'll just plain take less hits, more than making up for the bulk difference. Plus, triple arrows has a flinching chance that would be way better on a faster Pokemon. They really should've given it the speed instead of slowing it down more. And at the same time that they made a monster like Ursaluna. Gamefreak was smoking something crazy when making this Pokemon, twice. Really disappointing
@@JoshTrager-j9g then you could beat the games with a Spinda and stats don't really matter anyhow outside of a handful of games like the Ultra games where they have opponents with perfect IVs and full EV distributions with actually good move sets. There's a difference between being useable and being good. I used Spidops in my Scarlet playthrough, doesn't make it good. People can have fun and make anything work enough, but they just could've made Decidueye better and more fun to use. Heck, give it perish song to go with spirit shackle. Then it'll at least have a broken combo that's really unique and gives it some real value despite the mediocre stats. Just look at how amazing Incineroar is and it has the same BST as Decidueye, and I'm not even asking for it to be that good
The audacity of the second opponent to run that team and play like that then run as soon as it stopped going his way. Like nah buddy you deserve the punishment.
My friend, thank you for producing content for over a decade - that myself and my family have enjoyed, thoroughly! Along with other poké RUclipsrs, you have inspired me to start my own channel and to produce my own original content. Thank you for all you do!!
Well, it's kinda the curse of being an Alolan Pokemon, I guess. Alolan Pokemon live in a tropical region where the weather's always nice, so I guess they don't want to move very fast.
I was looking up lets plays of an older Fan game and I didn't know that you made a whole series on Pokemon Solar Light and Lunar Dark! Any chance you will do a Fan Game Lets Play again! I love your style of content. Anyways keep up the great work!!!
I was trying to remember whose nickname was "The Plug" on that first battle switch in, then I saw the Dudunsparce's *ahem* FLARED BASE and choked laughing 🤣
your bad luck with flame body specifically is insane. whether its moltres or magmortar i think ive seen that shit activate like twice in the matches youve used them in lmao, and the times it did it didnt matter. the rng truly is rough. i love decidueye though, glad to see it get some spotlight, its stats are just a bit unfortunate
Oh my gosh, I was JUST training a Special Attack Blaziken! Anyway, OG Decidueye ROCKS!!! People may diss Long Reach, but a way to avoid contact status effects or Rough Skin is always nice. Have fun in Japan!!! Congratulations again on the marriage!!!
Oh man, you already know, I'm S/O the thumbnail! Super slick! Decidueye looking good! Honestly the turn-around on the Sinistcha was sick- that thing can cause issues w Str Sap and of c, the Gatcha. Love seeing Decidueye bagging em out here! Day 2 of asking for "Sandstorm Shenanigans"! : D PS Donald Gumshoos will have his day! X D
Any time I see a Blaziken on the opponents team, I get depressed because I just know they're not going to use'em right. It's my favorite Pokémon of all time.
Really wish GF still had Decidueye use its gen 7 signature animation for Spirit Shackle..nonetheless thanks for giving love to the owl. ..now I'm weirdly craving those Wise potato chips. Ever had them?
Have fun on your honeymoon haydunn! Not sure if everyone else would enjoy a small vlog of some cool stuff y’all saw out there, but if anything a small vlog for members only could be cool! As long as you’re enjoying vacation to its fullest first! lol
could you try a bulky sweeper hippowdown? i love using him defensively with ice punch and earthquake+slack off, he lives forever and is very very bulky, also works well as a sand team setter as it has sand stream.
If your looking for suggestions, you could try ninetales with Protect disable Encore (attack move). If you like the suggestion idea and have questions, just ask me.
Please, allow for a Dragalge video! I have seen a few of us show interest in it. And I believe nobody expects this assault-vest carrying staller to get a sweep.
Can you make a specially offensive Metagross video? I’ve tried the set below with Indeedee psychic surge and it is fire 🔥🔥 Metagross (Tera fire) - item power herb -meteor beam -agility -expanding force -Tera blast
I don't care how badly it stacks up in competitive play, Decidueye is still my #1 favorite Ghost type Pokemon along with Skeledirge (and one of my favorite Grass types too! 😀) and my favorite Gen 7 Pokemon to boot! 👍 😎
Alola literally did not need to be as slow as it was. The starters, Vikavolt, Araquanid, Tsareena, Golisopod. Literally none of them needed to be made as slow as they are. Whole damn generation worked around Trick Room.
I miss when the animation for Spirit Shackle was Decidueye screaming "YOU HAVE FAILED THIS CITY" before he shot his opponent with an arrow
I like how Haydunn tries not to clickbait his titles but still plays the game
"Decidueye IS A BEAST" but instead "Decidueye CAN BE A BEAST"
Your humility goes noticed
Been rocking with haydunn since 2016. Dudes a good RUclipsr
The fact that they REMOVED the Spirit Shackle animation for no discernable reason is so unfortunate.
They did it with so many moves, honestly an L on Nintendo
You should see Inteleon's Snipe Shot or any starters special move for that matter
That 100 Sp Atk just sinks the owl. If that stat was anywhere else, even Def, Decidueye would be infinitely better.
SPEED

@@Chronoflation Well uh, I don't play competitive Pokemon, so.........none of that really matters to me. I'm strictly a casual player.

yea dude that was crazy 💀💀
This mon has been in the back of my mind for a month now and this video scratched that itch. Thx😊
It's probably me for a Hisuian Decidueye video XD 😅😅
bow and arrow bird do be looking pretty cool. the stats really dont fit em they seem like they would be fast but the designer did good on that owl
Enjoy your vacation! Unlike a lot of other poketubers, plenty of content that’s more than worthy of a binge re-watching!
I will always love Decidueye. I even love the Hisuian variant. Thanks for giving him some love!
Speaking of love, have an awesome Honeymoon, dude!
My friend, thank you for producing content for over a decade - that myself and my family have enjoyed, thoroughly! Along with other poké RUclipsrs, you have inspired me to start my own channel and to produce my own original content. Thank you for all you do!!
Decidueye is my favorite pokemon, tysm for using it !
I love watching these teams destroy OU/Uber teams
I wish decidueye had maybe 10 more base speed it wouldnt even break him just make him a solid threat
Decidueye can have 10 extra speed, as a threat.
Well, it's kinda the curse of being an Alolan Pokemon, I guess. Alolan Pokemon live in a tropical region where the weather's always nice, so I guess they don't want to move very fast.
So many high IQ plays in that second battle, great video
Bro that Second Battle the kid was Switching alot and he still got so Satly that he decided to Cancel the Battle😂😂😂
he got so satly 🔥🔥
10:58 Scream Tail? More like Screen Tail
My favorite pokémon, I've been waiting for this for so long!
I was looking up lets plays of an older Fan game and I didn't know that you made a whole series on Pokemon Solar Light and Lunar Dark! Any chance you will do a Fan Game Lets Play again! I love your style of content. Anyways keep up the great work!!!

Hardest Decidueye thumbnail ever.
I was trying to remember whose nickname was "The Plug" on that first battle switch in, then I saw the Dudunsparce's *ahem* FLARED BASE and choked laughing 🤣
You're such a legend for producing this content for so long
Much love from the UK!
this is an awesome way to start october 🦉💚
Haydunn is very nice when i am about to eat or take a bath. Perfect timing, keep it up!
Thanks for the great content to watch during my lunch break!

Oh my gosh, I was JUST training a Special Attack Blaziken!
Anyway, OG Decidueye ROCKS!!! People may diss Long Reach, but a way to avoid contact status effects or Rough Skin is always nice.
Have fun in Japan!!! Congratulations again on the marriage!!!
Enjoy your time in Japan! Thanks for the uploads
"The plug" is a crazy🤣
"The Plug". Holy shit, can't unsee
Absolute favorite pokemon and the only shundo I have on Pokemon Go! Keep it up my guy!
MY BOI HAS BEEN BLESSED BY THE MIGHTY HADUN
Oh man, you already know, I'm S/O the thumbnail! Super slick! Decidueye looking good!
Honestly the turn-around on the Sinistcha was sick- that thing can cause issues w Str Sap and of c, the Gatcha.
Love seeing Decidueye bagging em out here!
Day 2 of asking for "Sandstorm Shenanigans"! : D
PS Donald Gumshoos will have his day! X D

That first game was super close! Kleaver the goat!
Decidueye is one of my favorite starters. I love their design and unique competitive attributes 👻🍃🦉
Matcha Gotcha animation is incredible every time
Decidueye’s design is SO fucking sick. Plus the name is peak.
Amazimg.. my shower routine is fulfilled

Congratulations on the newlyweds and thw honey moon ♥️🎉🎉
Oooooo~ A honeymoon trip
Haydunn dropping right on time for lunch 🥪 again 😙
You should post some Regulation H double battles! Would love to see your awesome strats on the regulation ladder ☺️
Any time I see a Blaziken on the opponents team, I get depressed because I just know they're not going to use'em right. It's my favorite Pokémon of all time.
I peronally go SD/Detect/Baton Pass/Focus Energy and/or Terra Fire Blast Burn set
@@dablaqgamer463my set is solar beam,focus miss,fire pledge, and scorching sands
Really wish GF still had Decidueye use its gen 7 signature animation for Spirit Shackle..nonetheless thanks for giving love to the owl.
..now I'm weirdly craving those Wise potato chips. Ever had them?
Was using Heracross on Pokemon Showdown; it was a lot of fun! we should get another Heracross video!
Those knees from the thumbnail startled me.💀
did the Reflect protect the Roaring Moon from getting oneshoted ? cuz ain't no other way he survived a close combat from a freaking Zapdos
Have fun on your honeymoon haydunn! Not sure if everyone else would enjoy a small vlog of some cool stuff y’all saw out there, but if anything a small vlog for members only could be cool! As long as you’re enjoying vacation to its fullest first! lol
OnlyFans or OnlyMembers?
Parasocial ahh comment.
could you try a bulky sweeper hippowdown? i love using him defensively with ice punch and earthquake+slack off, he lives forever and is very very bulky, also works well as a sand team setter as it has sand stream.
Holy shit "SackieChin" I JUST got it.
can you come up with a unique strat with pure starters? that would be kool to see a haydunn spin on
The first match was a really good battle
Jokes on you haydun I've been subscribed since 2018
New haydunn lesgoo
GHOST MONS ONLY FOR OCTOBER? That would be epic!
bro it is just me or the music intro is the beast
If your looking for suggestions, you could try ninetales with
Protect disable
Encore (attack move).
If you like the suggestion idea and have questions, just ask me.
Enjoy the honeymoon man we will be here when you get back.
Finally SOMEONE figures out how to make alolan decidueye good
Hey man, hope youll continue making long form vids. Help me sleep!
The stalling 11 year old dude rage quitting was hella funny lmao
I would love a Flygon video if you are looking for more ideas
Congrats and enjoy Japan!
Love Decidueye
Congrats on getting married, and have fun on the honeymoon!
enjoy the honey moon my guy
This was made for me
Please, allow for a Dragalge video! I have seen a few of us show interest in it. And I believe nobody expects this assault-vest carrying staller to get a sweep.
My favorite Starter finally gets his spotlight time! 😊
Can you make a specially offensive Metagross video? I’ve tried the set below with Indeedee psychic surge and it is fire 🔥🔥
Metagross (Tera fire) - item power herb
-meteor beam
-agility
-expanding force
-Tera blast
So Blaziken is another Aura Sphere user. It appears it can use Aura Sphere since Sword/Shield
Have a happy honey moon
Why is the name Robin Hoot sending me! Lmao!
I love this pokemon so much love both alola and it hissuan form one of my favorite starters of all time
Enjoy the honeymoon, will see more cool teams after... I hope
I don't care how badly it stacks up in competitive play, Decidueye is still my #1 favorite Ghost type Pokemon along with Skeledirge (and one of my favorite Grass types too! 😀) and my favorite Gen 7 Pokemon to boot! 👍 😎
Those burns made me want to rage quit for you
waiting with bated breath for Haydunn's next video to be released 100% in Japanese, lol
Swords Dance ❌
Arrows Dance ✅
Alola literally did not need to be as slow as it was. The starters, Vikavolt, Araquanid, Tsareena, Golisopod. Literally none of them needed to be made as slow as they are. Whole damn generation worked around Trick Room.
Well, think about it. Alola's a really warm, tropical region, so I guess moving fast when it's so hot out would be a hindrance.
Now it’s time for primarina!
Imagine rage quiting with a stall team, what a degenerate
Can you do a video using meganium?
better Adamant or Jolly?
His problem is slow speed, if hes fast with either a good sp.atk or atk hes good.
Hot take, people use decidueye, but what they don't use is Hisiuan decidueye.
What pokemon game is this???
I still like PChals pronounciation of this mon 😂
I'm proud
I need to feast on this 😍😍😍😍
Petition to rename Toxicroak Crimson Chin
Also thanks for another great video, keep it up
Were you using ryujinx for online battles? if so, what emulator will you be using from here on out, now that ryujinx is down?
How do you get all these Pokémon with perfect stats and evs etc.
Rattled Granbull
fun fact: when I first played the gen 7 games I thought Decidueye was pronounces "Deck-ee-doo-ee" i was a stupid kid lol
I miss the PPL league, can you do that again?
Enjoy your honeymoon, bro!!!
