- A team featuring Illumise just won the 2024 Taipei Regional Championships! Illumise is the only Prankster Pokemon in Regulation E that gets access to the combination of Fake Tears, Tailwind, and Encore, making it a unique support option. When paired with special attackers like Flutter Mane and Chi Yu, you can quickly demolish teams with the combination of Fake Tears and strong attacks!

Finally another episode of road to ranked where Aaron "Cybertron" Zheng climbs the online regulation E vgc ladder in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and provides live commentary as he goes!
🙏
I would agree with that
Another episode where he said “Hey Guys, Aaron Cybertron Zheng here”
fabulous
I like when he presses the A button
Your RUclips channel can genuinely be a way of archiving pokemon history
we love to see bug types thriving, get it queen
Hey , Aaron！Here is Liam , Just want to say thank you again , It was so happy to see you at Taipei , I will keep surpport your channel , hope you have a nice day
And people say you can’t win with obscure Pokémon! This is my favorite thing about competitive Pokémon!
I just wish it could be more than a single unique mon
But that's just because an actual better pokemon is not available. So to use a niche pokemon, you have to hope that the regulation bans its competition.
Usually only support pokemon have this possibility, as it's not possible to ban so many offensive pokemon that have power crept.
There's a reason such pokemon are not seen in a regulation where there's little to no bans. Example, kanto Arcanine is just inferior to Incineroar and only see usage when Incineroar is banned, Pachirisu is never seen in formats where there are other follow me users.
@@yt-lh8kkthat is fair, but to find the niche pokemon and make up for it's other weaknesses takes a lot from a teambuilding aspect
@@lomna17 I agree and respect that the team building aspect is impressive, but find it misleading and disingenuous to say any obscure pokemon can find a niche. In most cases, it is not that a new niche was discovered and used, but rather to fulfil a previous role that is currently unavailable.
You can, when it's only one and the other 5 are all meta pokemon.
QOTD answer: the returning regis! Registeel and Regice have very interesting defensive and support capabilities, but can be held back by their typing. I've been excited to see how they can use tera all year!
Great job at San Antonio Aaron! Wish I had gotten the chance to meet you but ended up having to leave early. You have another regional win coming soon I can feel it!
Hey Cyberyron This is the rocky Helmet Guy From San Antonio🪨🪖
Sorry for Catching you before the live battle but Taking that quick selfi with you meant a lot😢
It was my first regional and i was going down 1-5 and very out of my element, and meeting you (for as short as it was) Definitely made it worth it!
Thank You😊
This is so wholesome :’)
QOTD: I would really like to see a team based of Serperior. I think it has some potential w/ Contrary+ Leaf Storm as well as maybe some pledge set ups strats with other starters like Primarina or maybe Charizard or Typhlosion. The addition of Tera can really help out Serperior as well
QOTD: Hydrapple because in the shortest time it has become one of my favorite Pokémon ever… everything from the stats making it actually usable for me to the design which is super fun to the typing (my favorite type combination in the game) to all the funny cultural/mythological references it can be connected to… it feels like this Pokémon was made specifically to cater towards me and my whack interests!!!
QOTD: Hyrdapple! Not only have I always loved the line and designs, but it has very solid stats, regenerator, and fickle beam having 30% chance to do base 160 damage is very powerful. Can be a great support Pokémon that can also dish out damage, like a more offensive amoongus
I’m hype to see Metagross in the regulation.
I am too, but I honestly have low expectations because of all the dark/ghost types available; Gholdengo, Flutter Mane, Urshifu, Chi Yu, I'm afraid there are too many good, powerful mons that check Metagross for it to excel the way it should :(
I'd love to see Walking Wake be used if it ends up being legal. I love that it can be strong in both sun and rain teams with its signature move and it's design imo is top tier.
Illumise super slept on, look at it go!
For the QOTD, I'd like to see you showcase eviolite duraludon. I think it is not being looked at enough. Another one would be rhyperior who I think between tera and solid rock will be absurdly strong in the format going forward.
Super cool team! :D also really thankful to meet ya in San Antonio bro, hope to get to battle you one of these days! Thank you for all the amazing content!
To answer the QOTD, definitely Archaludon. Stamina + a Beat Up user like Whimsicott is an insane combo, since Whimsicott can also use Tailwind to make Archaludon move before others, and Fake Tears if you don’t want to use Body Press. Stalwart is also pretty good and less gimmicky, but not as strong imo.
Stalwart is really good considering how much redirection like amoonguss, ogerpon, indeedee, and sinistcha in the meta. Plus some obscure ones like Maushold and clefairy too
@@caiobotelho5884 good point, but I think it’s Archaludon’s attacks that keep me from using Stalwart. Electro Shot is resisted by Amoonguss, Sinistcha, and Ogerpon, and the 2 most common forms of Ogerpon and Urshifu-Rapid resist Flash Cannon. I’d say Stalwart is best with Rain + Electro Shot, where Tornadus or Pelipper can hit those Pokemon I mentioned with super effective Bleakwinds or Hurricanes. I personally prefer Stamina + Beat Up Whimsicott because I like gimmicky stuff that actually works effectively, but these are just my thoughts.
QOTD: I'd kinda like to see if a Stellar Enamorous with Tera Blast is worth it. It could be an interesting prospect, with the Contrary feature.
If we also play it with Fake Tears Whimsicott, it might also become a wall even without being the Therian Forme, only being weird against Urshifu.
Wow I never considered Stellar Blast + Contrary, that sounds fun!
Definitely interested in seeing Indeedee's new bestie, Iron Crown
I've definitely been seeing Sableye pick up in usage at the end of this meta
hey Aaron I hope you enjoined your vacation!
QOTD: I think Gouging Fire is a great mon and would like to see you featuring It first!
This feels like a pachirusu situation where Asia cook out outside the meta and finds a Pokémon that fills a VERY specific niche but ends up winning a huge tournament.
QOTD: I really want to see a Serperior video. Serp hasn't been available to use in so many years, it's realistic to think that there's a huge chunk of the current player base whose never even seen one online.
I'm very excited to see how people utilize Contrary Leaf Storm in a format dominated by urshifu.
I would love to see a Malamar Team. I used it back in Gen 6 with Prankster Feather Dance Murkrow :)
Tragic how that doesn't work anymore because dark types are immune to Prankster as of gen 7 :(
@@WillBassmanwith tera it could :) but definitely don’t want to be forced to use tera just for that!
@@kleenexfn For sure! I only didn't bring it up because I prefer Tera to be much more flexible than that.
Hype! You're back!
QOTD I would love to see a contrary serperior team and your commentary on how you use it would be great because I really look forward to using it!
Thanks Aaron, I've been using Illumise and now everyone is going to be wary of my little prankster. XD Great video, looking forward to some Reg F content.
bro what an Amazing Team 🫡🙏🏾
it inspired me to build my own reg F version of the team
I got from 0 - 1350 in reg F on Showdown with this team

BTW I can share my rental for this Team if someone is interested
Great video!!! As far as a mon to try in the new reg? Hydrapple seems spicy on a trickroom team with porygon2
If Darkrai will be legal, Prankster Sweet scent will guarantee Dark void to land on both targets
There’s no way mythicals will be legal until the very final format like sword/shield series 13
this would be absolutely disgusting and i hope they never allow darkrai in competitive play. it wasn’t fun to constantly play against in gen 4 comp and it def won’t be fun now
This is exactly what I've been waiting for :)
Hey guys. It's Aaron "Cybertron" Zheng there and soon he'll be back with another episode of Road to Ranked where he climbs the online regulation F VGC ladder and provide live comentary as he goes!
“Mr Pikachu, can I use a Whimsicott?”
“We have Whimsicott at home.”
Whimsicott at home:
Thanks for the looooooo000oooong episodes❤
Illumise, man, that's a helluva throwback
Missed your videos. Thanks for your pokemon vids ❤❤
I think you should make ur own meta team and also anti meta team each season so we can atleast get two teams made by the goat himself each season…. other teams are cool but as a beginner and Zang fan, it would be love to start each season off with a meta and anti meta team to help us learn and navigate the format better/faster. Maybe like a month in of a new season or something like that you could drop your own two teams
just ran into you in casual doubles! gg!
scarlet and violet have been such fun spectating games due to the amount of viable pokemon that are popping up, so cool to see!
Id love to see a good VGC blastoise build
I'd like to see you utilize how the new mons from the DLC effect your own pokemon. Like how Weezing can reset your own abilities or how you can utilize Skill Swap on Contrary Malamar with a mon that knows superpower or something. Essentially a strategy that wins by targeting themselves.
Hey Cybertron! I think we ran into each other on the ladder. I was FarigirafFan with a Farigiraf that survived from chiyu and flutter open. If it was you that would be hype as I've learned so much this year from you on how to play Vgc and I love truly playing the best. QOTD I am a huge fan of the long neck monsters, if you have a way to use Alolan Eggxecutor I would watch that in a heart beat! Not sure how viable he is but here is hoping. I don't think it's gonna happen but if the new paradox mon are in reg F I'd love to see you use Raging Bolt! Always love your content keep up the great work and good luck at your next regionals!
I love this mon so much
YOOOOOOO!!!!
LESS GO!!!!
Hey Aaron, i hope your vacation went well!
QOTD: I feel like wolfey will do something with this first but i want to see a team that features both Alolan Exeggutor and Raging Bolt (for the ultimate long neck action)
Thanks 🎉
QOTD: I'd like to see the paradox versions of the dogs! The addition to Raiku and Entei paradox look very interesting!
QOTD: Entei! He's gone on such a comeback story, and I want you to show off how effective Entei can be!
QOTD: I would love to see a rain team, I've been using Landorus-I & Kingdra with a Pelipper and I've been having a lot of fun with it, I think you would enjoy weather in this next format.
QOTD: Iron Boulder. Mighty cleave seems completely busted but I really haven't quite been able to effectively use it myself. Would love to see a more skilled player using it and really bring out it's full potential
QOTD: Hydrapple! I think Assault Vest Regenerator Pollen Puff sets look very cool and fun. I know that I will be working on a Hydrapple/Heatran core going into Reg F.
QoTD: i have a few from both dlcs, lol. mandibuzz, ludiloco, and probopass from dlc1. alcremie, skarmory, comfey, whimsicott (which i KNOW ill see at some point), bastiodon, lanturn, tentacruel, and meganium from dlc 2. thanks so much for the vid and happy holidays~
Can't wait to see Lapras do some work. First time we've seen some starters in a long long time too! I'll force Meganium if it kills me.
QOTD: The Tuttle legendary for sure. Looks super unique and want to see how to use it well
Aaron be in a different room every video 🤣🤣
Sick team!!
QOTD: see if you can make iron boulder work. I tried psychic terrain clear amulet with 3 moves and protect. felt like I wasn’t doing anything idk maybe someone has a good sd set
QOTD answer: I would personally love to see a team with Araquanid. It honestly became one of my favorite pokemon, definitely in gen 7, and I feel like there is something possible with it.
Agree with this one!
Its liquidation power with mystic water is seriously nuts. Bulky too
AYEEEEE WELCOME BACK DUDE ❤
Archaludon is very capable as long as your opponent doesn’t have a strong special attacker. As long as your team has a dark type, something to punish intimidate, and an answer to beat up, you’re very well positioned.
Can't wait to see Regulation F stuff :3
Wow an illumise. Nice.
I would love to see either Hydrapple or Galvantula on a team (definitely not on the same team, at least I don't think they work well)
Was the Taipei Regional streamed or recorded? Does anyone know where we could watch? I’d like to see the matches, but I am unsuccessful searching for them.
QOTD: I would love to see some Hydrapple teams. I saw a Malamar Skill swap Contrary team that looked fun
Cant wait for whimsi to come back! I brough that boy to #1 in singles as a bulky pivot w stun spore
QOTD: Been trying out a snow team with fake out assault vest Dewgong, really underrated and bulky in snow!
QOTD: Hydrapple would be an interesting one to try out. Archaludon was my most hyped mon but it disappointed me.
iron crown has been sooooo much fun to play imo
QOTD: Serperior! (Contrary + Stellar Tera Type + Tera Blast looks INSANE)
I miss the series of episodes he did: " I got wrecked by this team so I have to use it..."
I wanna see what Incineroar spreads people will be running
Hi Aaron! In game four, I didn't really understand the forfeit too well... wouldn't Chi-Yu have survived Grassy Glide without Chien-Pao on the field? Or was Urshifu faster than Chi-Yu? Also, Grassy Terrain wasn't on the field anymore! Love your videos, just need some help clarifying so I can learn and understand better. Thanks!
I would love to see a Blastoise team, I don't know if it is allowed yet but maybe soon they change the regulation (?)
Can you try out Flygon soon?
How often do you move Aaron? 😅
QOTD: I really want to see windpower shiftry be tried out
Periodt!!
QOTD: I want to see you create something with Walking Wake
I really want to see Archaludon get up to some nonsense in reg F
QotD: Use Incineroar, it’s so underrated :(
Okay, but real answer, I want to see you use Hydrapple and Fickle Beam some people.
Hey guys, Aaron "Bug catcher" Zheng here, and today I'm back with another episode of "Road to Bug" where i climb the in game bug catching contest and provide live comentary as i go
QOTD: Swampert. I'd love to see him find some success even with all the heavy hitters that'll be in Reg F.
QOTD: I'm excited to see Incineroar back. I know, I know. I want to see how it plays with Terrastalization as an option. Will be nice to see Whimsicott back, as well. For new mons, Hydrapple is cool. Id like to see what it can do. Gouging Fire also piques my interest.
I wanna see contrary Malamar!
That ogerpon nickname😂
I love you cybertron!!❤❤
Idk if this is just me but it feels like hes in a different room every time he records lol
Qotd: I’d love to see u try ur version of the legendary paradox mons
FOr QotD, Primarina! Water / Fairy is one of my favorite type combinations.
I rlly wanna see critdras return
QOTD: it's not as flashy, but really curious to see how Porygon2 would play in Reg F. You definitely can bring out its full potential!
It’s honestly one of the best support walls of all time
Lets see some Hydrapple strats!
Was the Taiwan Regional Championship Open Team Sheets?
I think online ladder needs to either be updated to show items or give a best of 3 open sheet option for people to play
Atleast make it open team sheets. Closed team sheets is borderline toxic with tera.
Can reg F ranked just drop already so we can see Aaron use the new mons
I think you should try incineroar, might be a hot take but I think it's gonna be pretty good
Without knowing if the new paradoxes will be legal, i feel like you gotta go with hydrapple or archaludon. Although i have seen so many stamina archaludons on casual ladder i am already about sick of it 😂
qotd: you'll probably have fun building something with empoleon 🐧
QOTD: I would really like to see a latias team
I’m in the us east coast I’m over beating up on my locals and I’m always climbing to high elo in showdown and constantly am on win lose session with you and James I’m just trying to compete
