Haydunn the daily content has been an absolute joy to have coming through and it doesn't feel like any of the videos feel rushed or like the quality is dropping which is awesome. Hope to see you keep enjoying it and wanted to say that we all do appreciate the hard work ❤
@@ChrisPTY507Tera Stellar made Superior the best starter after being the weakest for so long, especially after losing hp ice. Finally I can use my grass serpent competitively after so long, although it wasn't horrible in gen 6.
This is super sappy, but honestly, watching your Pokemon battle videos all these years has kind of made me better at dealing with shit in life lmao. Cuz like Pokemon, life's never really about having the perfect plan and watching things go your way at all times. Sometimes shit happens and your Politoed's asleep and throwing it in would mean Mimikyu can freely set up Swords Dances. So you gotta think on your feet and find a way to make things work with your rainless Kingdra, and you'll be surprised to find that there usually is a way. Replace sleeping Politoeds, +2 Atk Mimikyus, and Kingdras being outsped with whatever shit you have going in your life and you generally find the same principles apply. Sorry that was really stupid, but thanks for the inadvertent life lessons hidden behind these fun Pokemon battles lol.
Joined for the Weedle sweep over a decade ago. Learned to play black and white here, made it all the way to top 4 in my regionals. And we are; still doing it. Thank for all these years of content, friend. You always deliver smiles.
So the inhaler dragon who could gigamax into a building has an evolution where he becomes a bridge. Gotta say, that's the weirdest evolution path in pokemon and there's a sucker fish that evolves into an octopus.
That was the coolest Venusaur I've ever seen. And Archaludon using Electro Shot is the coolest thing I've seen in Pokemon. And smart move on that Kingdra Strat with Mimikyu.
Have you thought able putting solar beam on the bridge? You can take advantage of sun during weather wars and if you have your rain up, you can still utilize your power herb
@@opposumness3107 Thats definitely true. You might not have the chance to get it off. It'd be nice for any unassuming ground types on other teams. I ran it on mine during my dlc playthrough and it was nice to be able to use my item. Also idk if its a recent thing but i found out that the power herb doesnt get used up during playthroughs anymore. I've always avoided using them because you usually only get one
Well played, Haydunn. I'm going to try out Archaludon myself, but not in a Rain team yet. If I may make a request, I want to see either Specs Galvantula make a return, or some variant of Alcremie.
used to watch you back in the day and even was in a vid facing you! happy to see you posting cuz no other poketubers got your informative chill vibe with your consistent and funny throw away jokes, much love!
Yeah I made a disgusting set and have been trying it out in game. You don't even need a full rain team, just a rain setter. Archaludon @ Assault Vest Ability: Stamina Tera Type: Flying EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpD / 8 Spe Calm Nature - Electro Shot - Body Press - Dragon Pulse - Dragon Tail/Flash Cannon Been running the dtail version, but may switch to flash cannon for coverage. I even shiny hunted a Duraludon for this since shiny hunting is not terrible in these games like it is in prior games (excluding PLA).
I really wish that Seadra got Swift Swim, I always preferred it over Kingdra and with Eviolite it actually could have been somewhat good. (And the fact that its hidden ability is 'Damp').
Such an en"lightning" video! Always enjoy the uploads man and I'll also be waiting for the electrovire vid! Zapsquach looks like he's ready to put in some work! ❤️😂
I actually like the idea of running power herb on Archaludon as it allows it to work outside of the rain. However when rain is consistently up throughout the match, sometimes power herb becomes unnecessary, which is why I like meteor beam as a coverage option.
Duralodon got an evolution, Ursaring got two, but I am still waiting for mons like Mightyena and Delcatty to get some love. Noctowl, Venemoth, I could b!tch about this all night lol
I do like how you don’t seem to care for smogon rules. You use what you want and you allow them to use what they want. It’s nice and refreshing. Would like to fight you sometime with a mono Fire team that has an ogerpon on it
It was so funny when I got to the Champion fight with this on my team. I was planning to set up rain with my slowking, and he just set it up for me. I swept him in a bad way
So sick as always. Rockin the archaludon like raihan. Hope to see some primarina action soon . Especially with that new alluring voice move to confuse set up sweepers. My nuts have never been roasted and toasted at that level before....and im dead😂
I like running mine with focus energy and a scope lense. Insta crits with draco metor and flash cannon. Since crits ignore stat loss I'm always at least hitting for normal damage. Stack up a few electro shots in the rain, and a agility pass. it's always gg, nothing can withstand.
I run a Archaludon with a Assault Vest and Electro shot with body press and the Stamina ability with Golden cap training. Stellar Tera type. I went for Archaludon as soon as I could once the dlc dropped.
Any chance we could get a pokemon rom hack nuzlocke like following renegade platinum? Maybe a randomizer for old times? Whole reason I started watching was your randomizer nuzlockes and kept watching for the awesome personality and amazing nicknames like usual!
So, just to preface, this is the first Ive heard it said... but I feel like it would be pronounced ARK instead of ARCH, because you know... electric arks
I was wondering why he named it Leonardo because all his names are witty. Picked Leo because it’s not just a TMNT but because it’s the one with the blue headband 😂
I suggest body press instead of aura sphere, because it synergies with stamina and hits a lot harder even with no investment and with stamina boosts stacked up.
It would have been better had its stats been min maxed properly. 65 base special defence is atrocious, makes it frail. One flamethrower from and fire type will send it packing.
Gen 3 weather wars but weather was permanent so you never had to worry about it running out once you won the war. Unfortunately, it took up like half the battle with the game reminding you it was still raining, hailing, etc. every turn.
The Politoed and Torkoal weather war being the new age Kyogre and Groudon weather war
Politoad VS Torkoal VS A Ninetails/Obama is fun as hell 🫡
Love that we have new weather setters.

@@PlazDreamweaver Yeah, this is why I wish to see a video of Contrary Serperior highlighting all the buffs it got after so long.
Word
loving the animation of this mon actually going into full bridge mode and using its towers to charge up electricity for its signature move
Best part of my lunch breaks is knowing theres a new Haydunn video out
Also not sure if you'll see this but Darkrai with hypnosis and focus miss running a blunder policy is just good fun
Watching your vids is part of my daily routine now
Thanks so much for watching
Having the enemy lock themselves into a 2 turn Solarbeam was WILD OH MY GOD, this is why you're the GOAT
This isn’t a weather war, this weather is a typical day in the Midwest.
Climate change has made it twice as volatile as it was a decade ago... which is saying a lot.
That's why the Mackinac bridge was there
5:32 Ah yes my favorite Christmas song, "Walnuts Roasting On An Open Fire Blast"

Archeldon with the assault vest and maybe body press over aura sphere might be cool to use. Your set is pretty good though
Probably went with Aura Sphere because Archeldon is a Special Attack focused Pseudo Legend.
@@francisharkinsbody press uses his defense and allows to hit special walls for good damage
Facts and pair it with stamina and a Pokemon with Beat up and it goes hard!
Supercell Slam: "You are safe now my sweet child."
Physical Electric-types: "I owe you my life."
(Half-health recoil: "Ssssh, don't tell.")
The problem with that move is the ground typing. But I don't think it's as bad as a movie as aim is saying.
Meteor beam should take 1 turn while gravity is active imo.
That would be really cool
Omg that makes so much sense, gamefreak should make it happen
Man i love this begining format. I stoped playing Pokemon a couple years ago but I'll forever love watching you play and your humor ^_^

I took a shot everytime you said "BUT". Nice vid as always! Cheers!!!
Fridge to Bridge, that's a massive glow up.
I love watching these on my lunch break at work, thanks!
So the inhaler dragon who could gigamax into a building has an evolution where he becomes a bridge.
Gotta say, that's the weirdest evolution path in pokemon and there's a sucker fish that evolves into an octopus.
Special shout out to MI with the Mackinac bridge woot woot!
That was the coolest Venusaur I've ever seen. And Archaludon using Electro Shot is the coolest thing I've seen in Pokemon. And smart move on that Kingdra Strat with Mimikyu.
How is that the coolest venasaur
@@RedLinkOfficial I meant the coolest looking Venusaur. But if you seen better, then that's good.
What can stand in the way of Archaladon’s Electro Shot? Deoxys Defense?
Regenerator Hydrapple?
Eviolite, Sticky Hold Dipplin? H.Goodra?
Usually I don’t watch full length battles but your videos always have me watching from beginning to end!
Charizard looking at archaludon thinking “mfs in gen 5 thought i looked like this dude?!?!?”
Have you thought able putting solar beam on the bridge? You can take advantage of sun during weather wars and if you have your rain up, you can still utilize your power herb
Thing is, if you're in a weather war with some sun teams, chances of solarbeam being effective are slim.

Lighter/building dragon evolves into staple remover/bridge dragon.
Pokémon logic 😂
I love this evolution line.
Bro I don’t even know what to wear today lookin at that team preview
Well played, Haydunn. I'm going to try out Archaludon myself, but not in a Rain team yet.
If I may make a request, I want to see either Specs Galvantula make a return, or some variant of Alcremie.

The people in the back think Groudon and Kyogre are fighting again
I love all the nicknames but Zapsquatch on the Electivire might be your best one yet lol
This new mon has quickly become one of my favorites, throw an AV on in rain and watch it clear through a team
Yeah I made a disgusting set and have been trying it out in game. You don't even need a full rain team, just a rain setter.
Archaludon @ Assault Vest
Ability: Stamina
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpD / 8 Spe
Calm Nature
- Electro Shot
- Body Press
- Dragon Pulse
- Dragon Tail/Flash Cannon
Been running the dtail version, but may switch to flash cannon for coverage. I even shiny hunted a Duraludon for this since shiny hunting is not terrible in these games like it is in prior games (excluding PLA).
@@PlazDreamweaver I prefer using a body press with def bulk over full SP Def investment, but that sounds like a fun set because you dont need rain
Love your content! I didn’t buy this version but I love watching all your different strategies
“Sometimes you gotta make some shit up as you go” is the best way to describe competitive battling 🤣
Great match as always! Enjoy watching your battles and listening to your commentary ((:
It's been a while since I've seen actual fireblast. It's always flamethrower.
I really wish that Seadra got Swift Swim, I always preferred it over Kingdra and with Eviolite it actually could have been somewhat good. (And the fact that its hidden ability is 'Damp').
Haydunn we matched randomly on link battle the other night and even though you kicked my ass, it was nice to finally battle after years of watching.
Lmao I just realized it looks like a Staple Remover.
Flygon needs some love!
Now that we got the Archaludon, lets see the Duraludon eviolite!!! And also that starf berry tropius/exeggucute too aye?
never been a fan of singles but honestly watching these vids makes me wanna switch it up next reg
It's too bad you can't queue up for 6v6 singles in the game. =(
Honestly its so cool to see Kingdra again. I'm really hyped to see it again.
It is strange that duraldon has a gigamax form but still evolve
Pika pika mf
Also Eevee and Meowth
Not to mention peeee @@anoklemtur2616
Such an en"lightning" video! Always enjoy the uploads man and I'll also be waiting for the electrovire vid! Zapsquach looks like he's ready to put in some work! ❤️😂
Yo Haydunn keep a video in the tuck! I wish I could play scarlet and violet but watching and listening to your commentary makes up for it 😎
They coming up with the goofiest looking mons nowadays
They have always been goofy lol
In general 7 they gave dugtrio a wig
@@Haydunn It reminds me of that surfer dude off that one SpongeBob episode lmao

Great battle Haydunn, been watching forever. love your vids
Wild how a steel dragon has a signature electric move
Also veluza(water/psychic) with the normal move "fillet away" as signature and many more
I only see him as a staple remover but fun Pokémon. Always ty for the content
Love the terra change at the end. Came in clutch!
This was a fun one, love me some bridge pokemon.
Can't help but call this match the diet "Kyogre vs Groudon" with allnthese weather changes lol
Your commentary is always top tier
I do like how you don’t seem to care for smogon rules. You use what you want and you allow them to use what they want. It’s nice and refreshing. Would like to fight you sometime with a mono Fire team that has an ogerpon on it
... is that a girder? 'That turns itself into a bridge!? Okay fine, I'm sold.
Another banger from the goat, keep it up brother
It was so funny when I got to the Champion fight with this on my team. I was planning to set up rain with my slowking, and he just set it up for me. I swept him in a bad way
Venusaur being a threat for a turn made me happ
That walking bridge dragon is awesome
Can you find a way to use Yelloballz again? I recently caught a shiny chinchou and i would love to see how you would one!
So sick as always. Rockin the archaludon like raihan. Hope to see some primarina action soon . Especially with that new alluring voice move to confuse set up sweepers.
My nuts have never been roasted and toasted at that level before....and im dead😂
Yes! It's the new Haydunn video!
lol it was like the OG matchup - Rain Dance Build vs Sunny Day Build. Gives me a reminiscent feeling of Blue vs. Red
I like running mine with focus energy and a scope lense. Insta crits with draco metor and flash cannon. Since crits ignore stat loss I'm always at least hitting for normal damage. Stack up a few electro shots in the rain, and a agility pass. it's always gg, nothing can withstand.
I run a Archaludon with a Assault Vest and Electro shot with body press and the Stamina ability with Golden cap training. Stellar Tera type. I went for Archaludon as soon as I could once the dlc dropped.
haydunn's daily videos are now a staple of my lunch break
What would be a good alternative ability to Kingdra that it currently doesn’t have?
Any chance we could get a pokemon rom hack nuzlocke like following renegade platinum? Maybe a randomizer for old times? Whole reason I started watching was your randomizer nuzlockes and kept watching for the awesome personality and amazing nicknames like usual!
Okay, 85 speed is insane for a bulky steel bridge 😮😮😮
Blastoise would be so busted with Swift Swim
The grandmas gotta be confused by the constant weather changes.
Truly the bridge pokemon of all time
Any idea when you're streaming again? I had a great time farming BP with you and I need some more lol
Archaludon and Hydrapple on the same team might be too OP. Do it!
Might I suggest running Body Press instead of Aura Sphere on Archaludon
I can't with the design of that bridge
So, just to preface, this is the first Ive heard it said... but I feel like it would be pronounced ARK instead of ARCH, because you know... electric arks
Great battle! You really had to think ahead and play smart on this one. It was a well-deserved win!
Daily wifi battle with some new mons in the same amazing channel ❤
Genuine question, do you decide which mon is going to be featured in your next video before or after the battle takes place
I was wondering why he named it Leonardo because all his names are witty. Picked Leo because it’s not just a TMNT but because it’s the one with the blue headband 😂
Seeing the notification for a new haydunn video, I click it instantly. Looking forward to an excadrill video (hopefully)
Archeduldon just looks insane as it is and I’m SO GLAD at the mons that got buffed
OU🤝UU
Plagued by annoying Ghost-Fairy Type
I suggest body press instead of aura sphere, because it synergies with stamina and hits a lot harder even with no investment and with stamina boosts stacked up.
It would have been better had its stats been min maxed properly. 65 base special defence is atrocious, makes it frail. One flamethrower from and fire type will send it packing.
Clutch ending !❤😂
Seeing sun vs rain weather war the moment battle starts
Gen 5 ptsd intensifies
Gen 3 weather wars but weather was permanent so you never had to worry about it running out once you won the war. Unfortunately, it took up like half the battle with the game reminding you it was still raining, hailing, etc. every turn.
@@PlazDreamweaver yea gen 5 was the last gen with permanent weather
So happy to finally see a Kingdra!!!
Would a shadow sneak from a +2 mimiukyu even take out kingdra?
The weather wars are real, man.
I have an idea for a buff for Solar Beam and Solar Blade inspired by Electro Shot: They raise their respective attacking stat by 1, before attacking.
Walking wake would have been crazy to use because its sig move is buffed in both
What an insane match
I gotta say I was not ready for Zapsquatch ⚡
I was waiting for some feraligator dances 😂
Good call on the Kingdra tera
Nice way to win it at the end
