Pikachu is my instaban in ranked this season no exceptions. That second game was one of the best ranked games I've ever seen. Both teams were super competent and working together and it was a lot of back and forth.
Honestly, I alway use volt tackle. You just can not trust your defenders. Then I choose either of the first move depending on the opposing team's make-up.
Yeah, I think thunderbolt depends on how safe you can actually be. Thunder and Electro Ball are mostly interchangeable, usually the former for more damage overall and area denial, Electro ball for chasing, fighting high movement, and secure. But especially now, there's little reasoning to Thunder bolt over volt tackle alot of the time.
Yeah Ho-oh definitely has a presence at all stages of the game and you can feel it even while playing as Ho-oh. I think all the nerfs were good and necessary but ultimately it didn't address the core issues. Tailwind damage nerf was good but maybe could have been more. Truly believe it needs to drop its Defender role for a full on Support and having lower defenses would be a good start to going towards that.
and it's hard to call it a defender when it doesn't have a single form of hard crowd control. it's just fat and refuses to die. more like a blissey or ttar than any actual defender
they’re okay with gutting defenders but let’s make pikachu the most annoying attacker 💀 trash developers logic (also btw he’s getting another purple tier skin are we surprised?)
I hate Pikachu. How frustrating his volt tackle, especially I hate his annoying voice, while playing Pikachu, hearing all the time pika pika pikaaa chuu. Why did the developer add his voice? If they wanted to add Pokemon's voice, then why not add other Pokemon's voice? I last played with Pikachu almost 3 years ago.
Jeez I already hate getting spammed with pikas, I can’t imagine if they added the annoying voices for everything else. I think the game sounds when they unite is perfectly fine as is.
@Haldricsfury Well, volt tackle is still weak and that build is still dogsh*t because it leave him completely wide open. I have killed him so many times when he use that build. The only issue is his unite but come on, hide in grass or run away as soon as you see his unite. It's better to get one ally down than more right?

I prefer electro ball. thunder good. Thunder then volt tackle to keep them in the zone
@@RollingCalf Then you have decent teamates.
@BarnzTT if you position well you can often use thunderbolt anyways. Your defender isnt stopping you from doing so

People been sleeping on this build forever.
Do you hate playing unite?
@@Hampter492 Yup.
It's been kinda broken since late game with amp + blue, after uniting, thunder and thunderbolt have 2~3 seconds of cooldown
@@Oliver-uz1fs Sadly though a lot of players don't seem to realize how the combo with the Unite works properly.
They should stay asleep tbh
lol Machamp
People really not taking it anymore from Pikachu this season
15:07 watch the pikachu flank get clipped
I just love thunderbolt's stun, so easy to lead your enemy's path to get them stunned when they retreat
Pokemon Unite is actually out of their minds that's why they buffed pikachu
Cris, i wish you uploaded the full fight because I want to see how you play after you win or lose Ray.
Mage Pikachu was already super strong before the unite move buffs tbh.
no cris we don't wanna aim🤡
FINALLY THUNDER/THUNDERBOLT IS GETTING SOME RECOGNITION
Right time to come back. Been hard carrying harder than ever
So much damage done ‼️
Do you have a unite squad already?
@@Hampter492no I haven’t , not as pro as cris 😂 just a noob rolling around struggling to masters
U got really good team for pikachu. Everyone has a knock up or hold. Is that on purpose or did it just work out thar way
Two games in one video, and with pika at that. Couldn’t have asked for more even if I wanted to
I have been enjoying this build a lot since the curse items were added
I literally tried very hard with same build 😢 but my randumbs teammates they left the battle within 6-7 min and then we loss...
Pushed masters day 1 solo with this build only😂
Thunder/thunderbolt will always be better than volt ball. As annoying? No lol. But way better.
I don't necessarily agree with better, but definitely way more fun. Sometimes I'll go Volt Tackle against certain Pokémon like Dodrio.
Better into tank comps
@@Laihoard1995meh, volt tackle is way weaker that double thunder
not true. It has no synergy with the unite move like water shuriken greninja
@@Infiniti.151yes it does, you full combo thunderbolt into thunder, unite move and it one shots anyone
Mage Pikachu has always been the way. Sure hits are boring
Do you have a unite squad already?
@@Hampter492 Not really. Been playing solo since release.
Can we create a squad ?plz i am tired of playing solo@@ChristianoMDSilva
Actually it is not over buffed because it has nothing after using its moves❤❤😂😂😂

Plz promote this build to get ppl off stupid volt tackle 😭
Do you have unite squad already?

Why is Pikachu a carry now?
For a second i read “MAGA PIKACHU..” in the title and i was like tf

I'm not saying that they need to add other Pokemon's voices.
What I mean to say is why they added just Pikachu voice

New copypasta dropped
