I think one of the most interesting things has been that without a Flutter Mane, it's really REALLY opened up the space for various different Fairy types to be usable.
@@MEISMUDKIPS I think it just can easily become an oppressive type because of Moonblast still being 95 when all the other things like Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, etc. lost power a while back, and Dazzling Gleam is just such a strong spread move.
The things speed is 70, lmao, HES SO SLOW. But electric, intimidate, and 120 attack is pretty good. Definitely better for VGC than singles. Kilowattrel has 125 speed 105SpA, (though hes flying and thus cant get elecric terrain boosted) kilo REALLY impressed me.
The beast coast crew collectively have all done so much for the spread in popularity of vgc and I would like to thank them for what they’ve done to help vgc become more popular
Honestly, felt. He gives very childlike vibes, at least publicly. It doesn't help that we associate him so much with Pokémon that we sometimes forget he does adult things like pay bills and make phone calls.
I'm new to VGC (thanks wolfe) and honestly from learning about the old games/metas and what not honestly I feel like Tera was the best most well balanced gimmick and the removal of super OP mons making it available for other mons to flex their stuff is pretty cool. I think they should do 1 world championship with the OP mons but another without them it's cool seeing typholsion pop off
Tera is annoying because it’s somewhat balanced in VGC but in literally any other meta game on Showdown it is completely unbalanced. Megas are the best gimmick and brought unviable Pokemon to the forefront. Z-Moves were completely broken and unfun. Dynamax is also unfun and broken.
Tera has been by far my favourite gimmick competitively. It basically gives every Pokémon a 3rd type. It adds so much dynamic counterplay and strategizing, I think the game will be genuinely worse off when it leaves. I know smogon singles people complain... But singles isn't a serious format anyway lmao
@@aquatazercrazy because megas was the worst in vgc. Literally made strong pokemon stronger with an exception of like 2/3 weak mons becoming strong. Half of the other megas were still pretty much useless also no diversity. In mechanics Tera Is the best with dynamax after
@@bye1551I was thinking how it’s gonna be less diverse after this gen. It literally made quite a few mons viable again. After that a lot of these mons going back to the garbage realm sadly 😭
Slept on Pokemon: Im thinking Chandelure has a place in this format. Speed is not terrible, average bulk. But that special attack stat is borderline legendary.
Interesting that something similar happened during reg H when Shadow Rider Calyrex underperformed on the first official tournament and Archaludon rain here, like many trainers surely include ways to answer them it became unfavorable to actually bring it, especially with open team sheet
I brought up Toedscruel to people in the VGC scene in Showdown right when Reg G was about to end and how it would be great with Neutralizing Gas s the fastest Spore user but they just said that choice was stupid basically and that it was trash.
Had only ever heard of Beastcoast as a Peruvian Dota 2 team lol, glad youtube recommended me this. Only recently started trying to learn about competitive so idk much about past metas or anything but I do have 1 problem with Reg H: I hate Gholdengo
I wish Swampert was better competitively!! When I was younger and saw people using gastrodon over him I always wondered why. I think an interesting video idea could be talking about how abilities can make some Pokémon more viable than others and discussing a “what if” approach. Like a Pokémon with a really diverse move pool but is held back by a subpar ability. Seeing how good rillaboom and Incineroar are doing make me jealous for swampert (my fav starter) lol
Honestly, just reading the video is funny to me. I personally thought this change should've been around since the dawn of competitive play to be frank.
I find it so hard about this regulation to find good fast sp attackers whenever i build a team and looking for the last slot i always end needing apnother sp attacker
The main effect of knock off is that when you hit a Pokémon with it they Will immediately lose their item. I guess you can say it’s the one exception of covert cloak
Hey guys, i need you or somebody to explain this to me, toler webb used a team that was repeated by at least 15 trainers😮, what happened there?🤷♂️, who made it?, and is that legal to go with the same team, attacks, items, ability and tera?😱, it turned me crazy 😂🤷♂️, nice video
I would love to see more games on stream per tournament. There’s too much filler in between battles. Worlds was so poorly run from a broadcast point of view. Should’ve been triple the amount of battles on stream. Even if they’re not main stage. We want battles, not casters talking in tournaments.
Sometimes the strength of a player can be seen by how much adversity they faced to get where they are. It's like how placing 4th out of 10 players isn't a big deal, but placing 4th out of 500 is super impressive. After a tournament's Swiss rounds are over, you can compare players who have the same Win/Loss record by checking the Win/Loss records of the opponents they faced. The stronger your opponents were, the more impressive it is that you got as far as you did. That's Resistance: a tie-breaker stat based on the Win/Loss records of your opponents.
Reg H is my favorite format. It's so beautifully diverse. There are so many great Pokémon, and I've never cared for battles with Legendary Pokémon. Worlds would be so much better with a regulation this this. It seems almost wrong to prioritize power over diversity. That's exactly with the Pokémon company tells us to not do in the lore.
because all his hacking actually did was "not have to spend 550€ and 400 hours just to try one team" it doesnt change anything about the way the tournament is played. And honestly as far as I am concerned, everyone should be allowed to just have the pokemon they would like to use (just like on showdown)
@@jameswbaekpkmnThe stuff around the convention center is either disappointing or friggin expensive. Gotta go to any of the surrounding neighborhoods to find some good stuff if you can't/don't wanna travel far. Alternatively, food trucks. I'm not as familiar anymore with the ones that park around that area but they were good back before the pandemic. Bmore and the surrounding suburbs have a lot to offer and is a melting pot of cultures so you can find about anything you fancy.
I just hate archuladon. It is everything a single pokemon shouldn't be. Low amount of weaknesses of which are easily mitigated by tera. High amount of resistances. High natual bulk that when augmented with AV is nearly unkillable with an ohko. Deals great offensive damage in rain on both sides (physical - body press, special anything else after a boost). And great abilities to boot.
I really hope we get a "reg H" in every generation going forward, maybe even multiple (1 at the beginning and 1 near the end of the format) personally.
I think one of the most interesting things has been that without a Flutter Mane, it's really REALLY opened up the space for various different Fairy types to be usable.
Yeah, i like experimenting with all the niche fairy types this reg, but man, i just wish there were just a few more that are actually pretty good

Sylveon hyper voice still has more damage output than flutter with dazzling gleam
Has it?? Its been basically prim, slyveon and clefable as far as fairies go
@Joeybanananas Those three and Azumarill, Mimikyu, Grimmsnarl, and Whimsicott are the only fairy types that I've been seeing.
I ran into a LUXRAY on ladder and it was actually pretty effective 😭 that’s how you know a format is diverse
I refuse xd

it’s still pretty new!

I seen this channel a couple months ago and couldn’t find it again. Finally did and made sure to subscribe this time
Yeah the Paradox Pokemon were completely overwhelming most of the Meta.
Why does it surprise me that Wolfe Glick can drive? I always thought he just summons a Charizard from a pokeball and just flys around everywhere.

Genies of Healthy Meta reference hit me like a train. Great episode!
2011 is honestly such a good format to hear about if that's what it's referencing. A little TOO centralized around Thundurus but still fun.
Good Luck and prosperity will come to you!
But only if you post "THANK YOU GENIES" in this thread.

@@dimitrimoore3319 I'd agree but the main effect of fake out is the flinch

knock off removes the item before the covert cloak activates, pretty much JUST so it can remove covert cloak, otherwise there'd be no counterplay
