Am i the only one who thinks that weather effects are weird? 7:46 I am talking about how you cannot freeze enemies if there's sunny weather up BUT you can still burn enemies if its raining. It's also weird that ice is not weakened in the sun but for some reason water is, even though ice should melt so its the ice that should be weaker. They could really go futher and make it so that: fire is doing less dmg in the rain (already happen) water is doing less dmg during sandstorm (there's hardly any water in the desert, even less so if its covered in sand, plus you could argue it would turn into mud, aka it would be mixed with sand making it less effective) rock (or ground?) is doing less in the snowy weather (you could argue that avalanche/huge amount of snow would stop the rockslide on its path or just weakness its impact by slowing it down if the rocks go down togather with the snow i guess? Or maybe explain it like that: the sand is frozen, so its less effective to be used as a sand) ice is doing less dmg during sunny weather (because it melts) Alternatively it would be funny if during sandstorm water moves became ground type (because mud) but they would also become ice type moves in the snow while ice moves become water in the sun. But i guess that would mess things up too much (flying types would become immune to water if its sandstorm weather, while grass types would resist ice moves if its sunny weather). Regardless i find it unbalanced that fire types (Ninetales, Torkoal, but also ground type Groudon) get protection from one of their weakness (water) while setting up the sunny weather with Drought AND Chlorophyll users are grass types who completly cover all 3 fire type weaknesses by destroying rock, ground and water types with STAB. Meanwhile water types who setting up rain with Drizzle (Kyogre, Pelipper, Politoed) gain no protection from their weaknesses (in fact they make Thunder never miss and newly introduced Electro Shot doesn't require charing up as if the Drizzle mons were asking to be KO'ed) AND on top of Swift Swim users are also water types (barring few exceptions: Qwilfish/Overqwil, slow Beartic and even slower Armaldo (and weak Anorith) but the last 2 aren't even in the SV; still i digress). To make it fair they should make Dragon types with Swift Swim ability (because its the type that resist all of water types weaknesses) and make dragon type moves supereffective on fire type pokemon. Yeah, sound silly, i doubt they would make that happen. But really they should make burn imposible if its raining.
I think opening with light screen rather than reflect could have saved the 3rd game. Collision course was resisted and the chi yu did over half to both mons
How is it that Water Pledge ignores Gastrodon? I’ve looked up the move on Serebii and Bulbapedia, and neither mention any effect that would ignore abilities or redirection
Smogon's page on the move mentions this effect. It's probably because of a coding issue where the move checks for a combo with fire/grass pledge and skips the redirection
4 full paras in a row 😭 I would be turning my switch off and going for a long walk after that 😂
That first game.. I would've just quit if I was them
You used one of my favorite starters, that's it, you're my new hero
In the words of the almighty Eric Andre:
BIRD UP!
Well played and great showcase!! However, I did have to report you for cyberbullying that first Koraidon
Already paid the fine don't worry!
The full para four times in a row hurt just by watching. 💀
Edit: how did big boy Grimm survive that long? that’s just ridiculous 😭
That first match was rage inducing I would have been so mad

Definitely the right call
Ooh noo..their Koraidon.. ITS BROKEN 😭
I would've just turned off my switch that first game and let you have it. 4 FULL PARA IN A ROW?!?! that's some serious RNG.

Older players know the pain and dread of getting paralyzed.
You’re hacking confirmed
I've been wanting to build a competitive/defiant mon team.
Such as charm whims/competitive or eerie impulse thunderus/annilape
It's a great ability! Unfortunately you can't trigger it with your partner, your opponent has to.
Skill swap intimidate is the loophole
the last guy you fought is most definitely a 12 year old kid cuz why the whole team legendaries? 😂
Indeedee and Fluttermane are not Legendaries.
Pretty reasonable team too
