As someone who plays VGC doubles, if I see an opponent use something out of ordinary in their team I feel such immense fear it probably can't be measured because at least against the meta mons I know somewhat what to do, wildcards are spooky! 😂
What i fear the most is that guy who has 4 OU mons, 1 PU mon, and 1 random lv 1 aron. Understands the game well enough to know the meta, but creative enough to know what unpredictable antimeta works
Thief + acrobatics or feint scyther is also chill. No one expects item stealing from an acro user giving ghost killing power. Run it with CC and feint or quick attack to bait ghosts out.
I was just getting into games when Pokémon Gen 1 came out and your videos constantly blow me away with how *deep* Pokémon strategy has gotten since then where it was just “haha fire go brrrrr against grass”
Gen 1’s strategy has gotten deeper over the years too, no one who doesn’t play competitive would expect Tauros and Persian to be the strongest mons of RBY
Masquerain has always been a thorn in my side in PvE over the years. I always forgot it's typing because it's rarely seen and then it has Intimidate just to be a nuisance to me.
This Pokémon should have Compoundeyes as ability, it would be much more useful on a sleep powder move set, equipped with hydro pump with increased accuracy
I've been using this 'mon for quite some time now. It is unfortunate that you released this video of it because now its potential will be out there for people to see 😅. But I have mine set up slight differences. Speed 252 SpA 252+ Def 4 Atk - Either heavy-duty boots or focus sash Quiver Dance Bug Buzz Air Slash Mud Shot (Best ground move it has) Along with tera ground. I personally believe mud shot (w/ tera ground) is a better option than Hydro pump. It covers more, has 100% accuracy, and speed drops 1 stage. Yes, hyrdo pump can cover for fire and rock types but what about steel and electric? That's why you choose mud shot.
(For vgc) You can also run a supportive quiver dance baton pass set. Focus sash, sticky webs, then QD, then baton pass it to something that can cook. Put an Oricorio next to it to start, baton pass to your Volcarona and you got a dance party.
I feel like blaziken users would gain a lot more advanced using moves other than protect immediately everytime People just know theyre gonna automatically do it, so
I'm glad you're giving recognition to many overlooked and underused pokemon, it makes your content unique and entertaining. I'm all in for videos like this, you just earned yourself a new subscriber!
Speaking of this pokemon, I got an entirely full odds 1/4,096,000 Masquerain by accident, I was looking for Iron Crown and Iron Boulder in Area Zero and I encountered a shiny Masquerain with a rare mark, and any pokemon has a 1/1000 chabce of having a rare mark, and the shiny Masquerain (1/4096 chance) has a rare mark (1/1000 chance), which makes it a 1/4,096,000 Masquerain, and I didn't have any sandwich boosts active nor the shiny charm at the time, I ofc hyper trained it and it has the moveset Giga Drain (for rock type coverage), Air Slash, Bug Buzz, Quiver Dance, and it has the grass tera type, it managed to barely take out a 5 (or 6 star, I forgot) tera raid Golem.
I've always liked Masquerain. Not necessarily its utility, but just in general. I really like your videos with underused Pokemon being successfully used competitively. It goes with my belief that, though some are definitely more useful and versatile than others, every Pokemon can be good when used strategically. Just like how you used Dodrio a couple weeks ago to decimate a team. It's awesome.
I’m not concerned when I see a team full of legendaries. I’m concerned when I see a dude with a team of never used mons
The team full of legendaries is probably low IQ.. the team full of rarely seen Pokémon is a wild card to be feared.
@@nolongeraperson to be FEARED!!😂

@@nolongerapersonwhat about the impossible 0.1% high IQ legendary user 😵💫?
love Masquerain, but i always wished it kept Surskit’s Bug/Water typing
Exactly! That would've been sooooo much better!
The fact that it keeps the water tera from its pre evo is what made me keep him 🥺
Only because stealth rock exists
I have X-scissor on my scyther for no reason lmao should be bug bite
Thief + acrobatics or feint scyther is also chill. No one expects item stealing from an acro user giving ghost killing power. Run it with CC and feint or quick attack to bait ghosts out.
It’s nice to see Golem actually use its full set up and not get blown out after rocks 😂
Man I caught a Surskit on my 1st playthrough of Sapphire cuz I thought it was adorable and I was a Masquerain fan for life.
Masqueraine is a lot cooler than I ever gave it credit for
Haydunn motto
Me after watching a Haydunn video: *"Damn, I gotta build one of those. 🔥"*
The combo of intimidate lowering opps attack and quiver dance boosting spatt,spdef and speed is pretty nuts. Overlooked mon for sure!
Stealth rock 50% hp go brr
bro shoutout to the man Donut, working his ass off for this channel
Thanks!

"Extremely Forgotten"?! Dude, I made a figurine of this baby and won second place at a fair--I LOVE this sweet eyeball critter! 🥰
oh my god id love to see that
Masquerain has always been a thorn in my side in PvE over the years. I always forgot it's typing because it's rarely seen and then it has Intimidate just to be a nuisance to me.
Now the new gen reveals the effectiveness of the move to your oppa
This Pokémon should have Compoundeyes as ability, it would be much more useful on a sleep powder move set, equipped with hydro pump with increased accuracy
That would make it uu
It learned hurricane this gen too
Design wise Intimidate makes way more sense though
@@seronimo__7735would be dope if it had access to both abilities :D
masquerain deserves more love its so cool
Why are you running X-Scissor over Bug Bite on Technician Scyther?
Guzma taught me that can be a threat
"And now he's just chilling in hell." made me laugh way too hard
Riff Raff reference🔥 “blow up and act like I don’t know nobody”
I’ll be honest, I was bit disappointed to not hear the scream when Golem used Explosion.
8:11 You Sir won a sub for that reverence alone
Always love seeing these forgotten mons get some love. You never fail to entertain bro. Been a fan since the gen 4 wifi days 👊🏿
he's just a goofy lil fella
I FUCKING TOLD EVERYONE THAT MASQUERAIN WAS USEFULL AND EVERYONE CALLED ME CRAZY BUT IM NOT CRAZY I SWEAR IM NOT
I've been using this 'mon for quite some time now. It is unfortunate that you released this video of it because now its potential will be out there for people to see 😅.
But I have mine set up slight differences.
Speed 252
SpA 252+
Def 4
Atk -
Either heavy-duty boots or focus sash
Quiver Dance
Bug Buzz
Air Slash
Mud Shot (Best ground move it has)
Along with tera ground.

A wise Golem once said "My mango is to blow up and then act like I don't know nobody."

I don't even play pokemon like this any more, but I love your content my guy 🙏🏼
Nothing like a bowl of Reese's Puffs and a Haydunn video
Never miss a Haydunn video, they are quality entertainment 100% of the time
Guzmas masquerain swept me😢
Speaking of this pokemon, I got an entirely full odds 1/4,096,000 Masquerain by accident, I was looking for Iron Crown and Iron Boulder in Area Zero and I encountered a shiny Masquerain with a rare mark, and any pokemon has a 1/1000 chabce of having a rare mark, and the shiny Masquerain (1/4096 chance) has a rare mark (1/1000 chance), which makes it a 1/4,096,000 Masquerain, and I didn't have any sandwich boosts active nor the shiny charm at the time, I ofc hyper trained it and it has the moveset Giga Drain (for rock type coverage), Air Slash, Bug Buzz, Quiver Dance, and it has the grass tera type, it managed to barely take out a 5 (or 6 star, I forgot) tera raid Golem.
Love to see this. One of my favorite Pokémon. Ninjask scyther pinsir and magmar are also part of the top 5
lotsa bugs
Are you telling me that x pokemon is a threat if it's able to set up?! Wow! Who would've thought...
Man, i love your videos! Your combats are so fun❤️
Have you ever tried a sweeper goodra?
Goodra @ Leftovers
Ability: Hydration
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Rest
- Acid Armor
- Body Press
Hydration Rest is my favorite gimmick with gooer.
Is it hesui?
@@karanXd considering hisuian goodra does not get Hydration, no.
It also doesn't get scald.
your videos are the the ones i look forward to the most
Golem- I don't know you! That's my purse!!
On what tier do you are using those teams
Love your videos.
Would be epic if you start putting rental codes in the description!

use moushold with kings rock if its not banned yet
That eevee mask is spooky
2 explosions in one video but no “WTF Boom” sound effect. I’m sad now.
Good sweeps tho
Love watching these vids! I live vicariously through VGC Pokémon through you. I play TCG much more. Keep up the great work!
Aye Hayden always with the fire battles 🔥
I remember use masquerain in emerald just cause i like his desing, is nice see someone showing some apraciation for him
Love seeing Hayden give PU mons like Masquerain the respect they deserve!
I like Masquerain. Used him a lot back in X/Y (the last Pokémon games I played)
The most important thing about Masquerain is that in the anime it's preevolution Surskit goes "a" as its cry.
Big golem W
And THAT is why masquerain is one of my faves. It’s suuuuper underrated
haydunn, brother, the start of that first match was one of the most disrespectful opens to a match I've ever seen lmao
Respect to the second guy for putting up a fight until the end.
I love how you discovered the support power of pachirisu. Vgc showed off its potential once.
literally just chill at my desk and watch ya vids almost every day
I've been waiting for donut to go boom with the custap berry. So happy we got to see it
I like using throat spray bug buzz, myself. Nobody sees that coming on my all-offense galvantula lol
Could work for masqurain too!
That was a cool, smooth sweep with Masquerain on the first battle.
Every few days Haydunn just hits us with stuff like „Sunflora is CRAZY when used right“
This thing bodied my whole team once reminding of why I always used it in the og sapphire game
I hope see a video of you usong seviper some day
This one I’ve been playing it on my 3ds. Also note Surskit that is actually faster than masquerain and can set the webs
Such a fun poke! Would love to see a Oricorio vid if you’re looking for recommendations 👀
I don't know why but my entire childhood i thought that masqueraine had Drizzle.
This thing recieved the highest post gen buff of any Pokemon gaining a whole 40 bst points in gen 7
Video idea:try to make spidops viable cuzz everyone is disrespecting their friendly neighborhood spidops
You made, what I thought, was one of the dumbest Pokémon into a murder machine. Well played sir
Who you callin’ ‘Pinhead’?
no "WTF BOOM" sound effect on the golem explosion?? you've changed
Tera Flying has to be the funniest looking Tera lmao
Plz do delcatty. Huge attack stat
My fav hoen bug type 🎉🎉
2:42 yes, Jurassic Park reference
2:23 where is my "WHAT THE FUUU.... HAHAHHA"?
In 2012
I dislike how they just throw Protean/Libero on anything now, awesome stuff casting some light on lesser used mons
Golem going boom is a classic one 😂 (with gavantalize)
We need the “what the fuck BOOOOOOOM” edit on explosions again
LLCruelJ - Top tier Tentacruel name. This guy always has the best nicknames.
THE BEST MON ❤️🌊💯
Bro I swear that Golem move set is so good
That first dude got *_OBLITERATED_*
That was actually insane. I want masquerain now
Sunburn taking Rough Skin damage is the new meta.
You know, I hope they give evos to some pikachu clones in future games.
Pachirisu and emolga especially.
I just wish Masquerain kept Surskit’s Bug/Water type. But at least now we can have a Tera Water Masquerain.
Hayden, can you do a video using a lv 1 wooper with a bad nature in a battle
I caught 2 shiny Masqueraine in Area 0, and then realised sticky web is a pre/Evo move, so I guess I have 2 quiver dance sweepers hahaha
specs could be a good upgrade for pinhead with the bug tera
Hi love your videos, just some ideas wiglett has high speed and decent attack could be fun, also full eevolution team would be cool
QD Masquerain is a real pain in Pokémon Showdown Randbats. If you're not careful, it'll sweep you.
Found you on TikTok love your videos and I’m glad you have a RUclips I definitely subscribe
Hahaha. Butterfree laughing in the corner.
Donut finally getting to use what it was meant for, finished the story!!!!!!
Give Masquerain an evolution!
Naming his shiny Scyther “Sunburn” is s tier.
I always knew my mans had that dog in him.
I miss the meme sound added whenever you use explosion, needs a comeback
With Masquerain having Bug Buzz, would Throat Spray be another good held item option? Or is life orb better?
