In case anyone has the misfortune of playing into this team I want to mention that many moves bypass accuracy and deal double damage when used against Minimize, including: Heavy Slam, Heat Crash, or if you are really desperate Dragon Rush and Body Slam (or if you are really, really desperate Flying Press and Stomp). Alolan Muk is 114.6lbs (52kg), so any Pokémon over 343lbs (156kg) will deal at least 160+ Base damage using Heavy Slam or Heat Crash. Pokémon over 573lbs (260kg) will deal 240 Base damage Heavy Slams and Heat Crashes.
In the indigo disk dlc, there is an npc with the moody smeargle + muk combo. I too made the mistake of knocking out the smeargle first. I got wiped by some rando who only had 2 mons.
I wouldn't be surprised if I saw this team once or twice in the Online ICs... I guess I'll have to be ready to face them alongside every other archetype
OH MY GODDDDD THIS IS SO ANNOYING IT TOOK ME 10 SEASONS TO FINALLY STOP RUNNING HAZE ON CHIEN-PAO AND THIS POPS UP NOW THAT +6 MINIMIZE MAKES ME WANNA DIE AHHHH
I was running clear smog on amungus and haze on primarina for this team. Loved watching them set up and then haze clearing all boosts before I hit it with water hyper voice :)
The irony about the people who play these flamigo/muk teams is they are also the first to rage quit as soon as something doesn't go their way! 😂 like BRUH its YOUR FAULT the game has gone 15 minutes and you're just hammering that power button at the first sign of trouble? 😂 glad you're feeling better james, i caught covid to start 2024 so i feel ya pain brotha
I dig you James my man but I have to let everyone on the Showdown latter know that uses this team, that I don't respect them for using it. Looks like I'm making a foray into RUclips. 😆
The entire strategy is literally hard-countered by Worry Seed. lmao. You should see how often my rain team+Rilla gets forfeited against by all Smeargle/Muk teams.
I got wrecked by that same duo like a week ago… was so taken away by the versatility of this meta, but astounded at the intelligence of putting these two together for sure
@@jaredjargoon9101 ah right... so it chose a different move, got encored and had to choose extreme speed instead. Only then it got the priority. Thanks!
@amoose2110 Encore and extreme speed both are +2 priority bracket moves and so since Scream tail is faster it will go first since moves on the same priority bracket go back to accounting for just speed.
Hi I beat u team with Tera Grass Ogerpon w Taunt, Levitate Weezing, Raichu and Gliscor w Earthquake. My Rain Team from Kitakami Prologue. Politoed and Poliwrath w Haze (the last members). Greatings

thank you! i hope james pins this
I didn’t know this lol ran into minimize team. Different from this team. It was annoying but I won anyway because those team don’t do damage 😂
I never knew about dragon rush doing that. One of my favorite moves but I acknowledge it’s not very reliable
Grass Tera, heavy slam heatran ftw!
Metagross destroys this team
Nooo James I’ve already been running into this team so much 😭
James just woke up and said I didn't get to have fun since the new year and now so do my opponents.
In the indigo disk dlc, there is an npc with the moody smeargle + muk combo. I too made the mistake of knocking out the smeargle first. I got wiped by some rando who only had 2 mons.
Nice to have you back james!! Happy new year to you
Skill swap choice scarf smeargle + regigigas
outsped by Scarfed RS Ursh :P . Which means Smeargle wouldn't get off an attack.
This is why I have a taunt user on my team
This episode was so funny, real window into the mind of a toxic ranked player cackling as they check their Moody boosts
I think tera ghost on Muk works much better. Makes you immune to sacred sword and allows you to swap out from perish trap.
Glad you're feeling better. Shame the illness spread into a toxic play style 😂
Truly a team designed by someone who can comfortably say "I have enough friends. I don't need more". 10/10 would play again
I wouldn't be surprised if I saw this team once or twice in the Online ICs... I guess I'll have to be ready to face them alongside every other archetype

If this starts to become common, we should expect a new wave of Haze users to come out to rain on Muk's parade.
I've already swapped my trick room mon to dusclops just for haze after fighting this team twice
@@armlesskirbyI did the same thing, brought in a dusclops with haze to deal with setup teams
I've been using calm mind on spectrier. With all the dozogiri teams and moody muks, it might be time to bring haze
I was running clear smog on amungus and haze on primarina for this team. Loved watching them set up and then haze clearing all boosts before I hit it with water hyper voice :)
The only thing that would make this team even more evil is to include Gothitelle with Shadow Tag.
The mirror looked like a wonderful time.
Counter: kowtow cleave king gambit
That would barely do any damage against the Muk.
You're despicable for this James.
I love it.
2024 is apparently James's villain arc 😅
This team is literally toxic lmao
Missed seeing your vids in my feed while you were sick.

They quit when not winning but expecting people not to quit on them
I will enjoy watching this team, never play it, and feel so satisfied while beating it
Game 2 was soooo good lol
This team is so ridiculously fun to use and even better seeing people hate on it😭
I dig you James my man but I have to let everyone on the Showdown latter know that uses this team, that I don't respect them for using it. Looks like I'm making a foray into RUclips. 😆
That last game. I'm pretty sure you only use two attacking moves. Knock off and then you use close combat. 😂
Evil scientist shenanigans
😅
Why would you upload this I had to fight 2 different people using this team tonight
Did you
PLEASE NO i hate facing this team 😭😭😭

Been missing the content man
Oh yeah he’s BACK LEGGO GOAT
Played this team in game. Glad i had haze and shut this whole team down
Been running into this team. Luckily Tera grass unaware dondozo destroys it
james be like U screwed me in Japan I'm going to troll the whole rank ladder😂
Just got to top 600 after 6 wins in a row as my first 6 games with this team😂
Couldn't someone just play for time against this? Theoretically.
Yes easily
This strategy is insane in BO1 battles
I got wrecked by that same duo like a week ago… was so taken away by the versatility of this meta, but astounded at the intelligence of putting these two together for sure
I'm relatively new to vgc this gen, and I'm always amazed at the things people come up with. My built from scratch teams always pale in comparison

Disgusting team bro lmao
I think terra blast flamigo would go crazy. So the sp atk boost can also be used
Which Tera for Flamigo?
Omg this is soooo toxic. I actually love it haha
Oh ok. So this is not my team. Mine was a skill swap smeargle.
Free win for Perish Trap again let's go
*haze* has entered the chat.
I just played against this team, made me wanna quit vgc altogether...
can I know at 09:20, why did scream tail move before entei's extreme speed?
It chose a different move before but was encored! So as soon as it’s encored it’s used it’s last move
@@jaredjargoon9101 ah right... so it chose a different move, got encored and had to choose extreme speed instead. Only then it got the priority. Thanks!

@@LegendaryZody Encore has +2 priority? i didn't know that lol
Alolan Muk? Pogu
Haha I've been running muk with Smeargle 😅
Ahhh... Time to run Roar again.
After playing against this team I took away my like
I runned against this team 3 times today, i have never seen something so utterly irritating in my entire life. For the sake of god James, why?
What a disappointing way to start off the year…. 😩
This is my team
I absolutely hate this team. I just quit when I see it. I like having fun
Imagine he was aerial ace d nite lmaooooo
I play 2 times against this team 1 win 1lose 😂
Free win: take a KO and timer stall. Or use taunt on Muk. Glad you are back James, but pls don’t give these teams oxygen…

Minimize should be banned
Anyone playing this team I will time out every turn and spam protect
