@@diegoxavier9107 was about to say this too. One other thing that could also be why you would use it over the regular one is it still gets after you a faster one that is. Ofc jumpluff is still around but at least with this one it gets after you still.

Yeah. I’m a Hisuian Samurott advocate. It’s not the worst mon competitively. It does put in work. You did look at the wrong stat spread for Hisuian Samurott as it has 108 att and 85 speed at the cost of losing some bulk. But, I agree that B tier is reasonable. I’d rank it low A if psychic teams become popular.
Honestly, with the amount of psychic types running around (Armarouge, Indeedee), as well as Flutter Mane? Plus being immune to taunt right when Incinerator is poised to return and Murkrow's been so present? I can absolutely see Samurott's dark typing alone making it useful.
I think it's main issue is that it has so much dark and Water type competition that it makes it hard to slot. It's a solid pokemon but we have Chien Pao and the other ruins, the Urshifus, Goltress, Basculegion, Palafin so it does become a struggle to justify using it over them. It has potential because spikes can be stacked and sharpness makes up for the attack stat, you're using 100 BP STABs and a 135 BP Sacred Sword afterall
@@lovelyluna733 Scarf and sash sets on Samu are insane tbh. The ability to have big power in its attacks due to sharpness, plus great overall moves in Sacred Sword, X-Scissor, Knock Off, AJ, Aqua Cutter, and the best move of all Ceaseless Edge. Plus for sash sets, you have SD to boost STAB Aqua Jet & Sucker Punch. It’s a very high ceiling mon.
@Peyton York yes those moves can output a good amount of damage, 100 BP STABs and 130 BP coverage, but you're being compared to Chien Pao, who with Sword of Ruin basically has an attack stat of 170. It's hard to pass up the thing 252 Atk Sword of Ruin Chien-Pao Ice Spinner vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mew: 165-195 (48.3 - 57.1%) -- 91.8% chance to 2HKO 252 Atk Sharpness Samurott-Hisui Aqua Cutter vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mew: 151-178 (44.2 - 52.1%) -- 16% chance to 2HKO It is a Feat to be comparable in damage to Chien Pao, but it still speaks to what Samu is competing with. The Urshifu's also have 110-120 BP STAB in their signature move and close combat along with a higher attack stat (130 vs 108). And they don't even use their ability to actually have decent STABs because they already do, unseen fist is easily the most broken thing in the game. And when you SD, you're acting like a worse Urshifu. (Lower hp, lower attack, lower Def, relative SpD, slower, lacking in ability). It's not bad or anything, sure, but it has so much competition it can't keep up with, Hence people don't use it often. OU really shows you what it can do when it's competition is banned (albeit, hazards are major there)
the problem is it has a speed stat where it's not fast enough to naturally outspeed anything and it's not slow enough to really take advantage of trick room, so you're not really flinching anything
Wolfe Jamie's main point was G articuno pairs super good with ursaluna. Typing synergy, immune to EQ, TR, and competitive to protect from intimidate. The last of which gives it a considerable niche vs using cress
I wanna give a shout to Hisuian Qwilfish, as a supportive Intimidater with Eviolite, it's actually pretty bulky (bulkier than Overqwil) and could be annoying with stuff like Toxic (Spikes), Barb Barrage etc.
I like this better. Obviously the professionalism and cleaner editing has worked out and gotten Wolfe over 1m subs, but I prefer off-the-cuff Wolfe more
Hi Wolfe! You actually missed a super important part of the Genie's Storm moves (I don't blame you, it's kind of a hidden mechanic) - they don't check accuracy in rain. That's right, Tornadus the monster that it is, has 100% accurate 100bp spread move with a 30% chance to lower speed for each pokemon. Thundurus gets a 10bp weaker spread version of Thunder with a 20% chance to para each Pokemon Lando gets a 100bp ground spread move boosted even further by sheer force life orb, or with a 20% chance to burn each pokemon if you run Sand Force instead I'm not too sure about Lando, I could see it maybe working in some situations, but both Tornadus and Thundurus sound terrifying in rain now, especially with Prankster Rain Dance

Mirror Herb unburden sneasler partnered with swagger Tornadus has been one of the funnest sets ive ran, sneasler just annihilates things when you set that up
0:00 To be fair some of those Pokemon could be really nice in like mid-tiers, but you have to waste Tera on some of them. Like Arcanine and Avalugg especially need that simpler typing. 6:10 Samurott's, Kleavor's and Sneasler's signature moves were incorrectly marked as high-crit ratio moves. They did announce they gonna fix it. 20:25 There is no Tapu Koko, but Miraidon is in. Even if only in some game modes. Raichu is still bad, but you know - there may be some crazy gimmick that people would use, I guess. 20:50 SV is Dark Type infested. Prankster is actually way weaker in this gen, because of that. Not to mention all the plethora anti-status abilities introduced this gen. 34:10 Regieleki will be gross. 38:10 Any Pokemon can now wield Ice type Tera Blast. Tera Landorus could counter it, but I think it will be way weaker than usual. Especially as we have more things that work against Intimidate and also not many Pokemon that are super weak against ground, flying or rock. It's still will be disgusting, but I don't see it doing as good as previously. Especially as we do have a lot of high damage attackers. Palafin, Flutter Mane, even Dondozo do good against it. And the new move doesn't buff it as much as those do for other djinns. 40:20 From illegal Pokemon - at least for Smogon definitely Mew, Calyrex and Magearna will be pretty disgusting with Tera mechanics. Volcanion is now the only Scald user, Hoopa could also get a lot from Tera typing.
I feel Lando-I is a bit slept on. 100 BP spread ground move boosted by sheer force and perfect acc in rain and doesn't hit your partner. also nasty plot.
In my experience, Hisuian Typhlosion has a solid niche as the Strongest Eruption user in the game, and you can largely get away with using Choice Specs on it if you pair it up with, say Tailwind+Sunny Day Tornadus.
@@LuvanweedI’ve had more success with Typhlosion-H than I’ve had with Torkoal. Having Prankster Sunny Day support has gotten me more turn 1 victories than I’ve ever had before. It’s not to be underestimated.
At least torkoal has drought, but no matter what you do with either you still need speed control. It's just that typhlosion is better out of trick room as opposed to torkoal who NEEDS trick room so either needs help.
@@seivar2415 Choice Scarf in and of itself is a form of speed control. As is the partner Thundurus with max speed Timid and Prankster Taunt to, at worst, speed tie opposing Thundurus and Tornadus and stop opposing Tailwind, as well as the partner Imprison + TR Indeedee-F to oppose Cresselia and protect Typhlosion from priority courtesy of the terrain. It works surprisingly well in practice. Edit: said Landorus instead of Tornadus. Fixed now.
@tmasterlordoflightning4754 doesn't change the fact: Speed control is necessary. Either is extremely powerful, but still need a form of speed control to claim victory.
Might I suggest you do a follow-up video in a few months, comparing your predictions to actual usage stats? That's what Hearthstone's Trump used to do, and it was really great commentary.
the amount of times wolfe looks at the regular form stats instead of scrolling further down to see the hisuian form stats kills me, he's been making that mistake that for several of these videos
It depends on circumstance as being fast and weak defensively but hit like a truck it doesn't matter, but being slow or being meant to be defensive it does
@@groudonvert7286 yeah but still being weak to fire, ice, fairy, and quad weak to flying all very common types hurts, quad weaknesses just hurt a lot for those slow defensive mons, but at least they never have to worry about an earthquake just birds instead
Hisuian electrode has been a great tech option for OU and ive fallen in love with it. IM running (Taunt, Volt switch, Thunderbolt, leaf storm) fast leafstorm and volt mix incredibly well together and at base 150 its one of the fastest nonprankster taunts in the game, with taunt volt switch making it a great antilead. Nonterra leafstorm alsov1 shots Great Tusk. Usually 1 shots garganacl, and is nice for big damage on ursaluna. Needs a good team around it but its great speed stat allows it to clean up many nonscarf sweepers late game.
Hi, i am sneazler’s avocado. I just want to make everyone see that he is super effective against all A and S tier mons. He has very good coverage and close combat+dire claw+acrobatics is not resisted by any type. Witch makes place for fake-out, a really good move, especially for your lead. And ladies and gentlemen, you are gonna lead this thing Altough you may think his biggest strengh is his coverage, you are wrong. His biggest strengh is the combo between his ability, a forgoten gen 9 item and a forgoten gen 9 Pokemon. I am talking about unburden, mirror herb and scovilain. Unberden makes a Pokemon insanely fast when it loses or uses his item. Wolf is talking about focus sash, but i got even better: mirror herb. Mirror herb is USED when an ennemy gets a buff, and it copies said buff. Now you might say: But why, random human being, would i base my strat on the enemies team? Thats the neat part, you dont. Because scovilain exists with his demed bad signature move: spicy extract. This move BUFFS a Pokemon’s attack but lowers his defense. Every one was shiting on this move, but i saw his potential: use it on a enemy. The enemy is debuffed, and if you have mirror herb on one of your Pokemon, HE gets the buff. Do you see de vision? You make your sneazler slightly slower than scovilain ( his speed is doubling anyway ) and Target the same Pokemon with your attacking sneazler move and your spicy extract. Sneazler now has double speed, double attack, buffed acrobatics and a free kill since the enemy has no defence. You can now sweep, using your scovilain as an Amoonguss-like with rage powder and helping hand. Ps: use flying tera for sneazler, it negates the ground weakness and buffs acrobatics Pss: sorry for my poor orthograph, i am french Pss: please make Wolfey see this

idk, hisuian goodra has a massive defensive buff (better typing and better defense) plus its slower so its better in trick room. It doesn't do a lot of damage at base, but I think running shelter and body press with protect and leftovers is gonna make hisuian goodra a huge threat that'll be extremely difficult to take off the field
Bringing home in before worlds was arguably the most radical decision The Pokemon Company has ever made. Also please Wolfey, I'm begging you, teach us how to beat Ursaluna, it blows through everything.
As a fan of ice types I will say that with it's movepool and its muuuch lower speed, hisuian avalugg is like. One of the few offensive pokemon who could seriously handle enamorous or ursaluna in trick room possibly? It gets stab supereffective damage against both, and for ursaluna specifically I feel like it's 185 base defense with snow boost could actually make it possssibly help against ursaluna's massive attack
@@bluebaron6811 That's like Avalugg's gimmick. It could always tank physical hits. The problem is that it collapses from any special attack. So decent wall against Ursaluna but, absolutely cannot tank Landorus or Enamorus
From my experience on the Reg D ladder, I think I would make these changes: - Thundurus potentially to S (Wildbolt Storm is a very good addition) - Zapdos to B (never really seen it used, tbh Eleki and Thundurus are just better imo) - H-Goodra to A (incredible anti-meta pick, Acid Armor set is a great wincon) - Regidrago to A (I'm not kidding, it's INSANE. I haven't used it, but it's always so scary to face. Tera Dragon Dragon Energy hits so hard and now it gets Earth Power for coverage) Also potentially G-Moltres and G-Zapdos to A but that's borderline. They're super good but maybe my teams have just been weak to them. Interested to see what others think!
One thing to note about Cresselia is that it lost 10 Defense and 10 SpDef in Gen IX. Will still probably be good with its movepool but it has nerfed stats.
this really helped me get a grasp on the new mons, so thank you!! wonderful as always. some thoughts from poking around in team builder: fake out priority on rillaboom and sneasler gonna be huge in setting up tailwind/trick rooms, and i foresee covert cloak, mental herb, ghost/dark tera being very common for turn 1. frisk wyrdeer skill swapping guts off ursaluna (or intimidate with a competitive mon?) i think its utility is gonna be its big selling point lowkey. confuse ray/thunder wave rng, disable, screens or helping hand if you want, and psyshield bash giving you defense to outlast ursa/physicals, and ghost tera sounds super sweet to get around the facades/close combats (especially if you end up skill swapping cresselia's levitate, so ursa's EQs hit it too.) also rillaboom's knock off could just stop guts before it gets outta hand potentially. galar articuno getting access to both tailwind and trick room AND imprison. not sure how reliable it would be, but i imagine being able to deny trick room while still having tailwind or being able to trick room when someone else tailwinds has a lot of value. normal tera regieleki, max speed/atk, adamant nature, normal gem explosions. also why i think protect will still be meaningful even when urshifu exist. prankster rain dance is gonna be very common with the +accuracy to storm moves, so i think running other weather specifically to counter (prankster sunny day for example) could really throw a wrench in some plans. alternatively, wide guard. sadly only hisu avelugg is the newest with it. however, thats exactly the type of mon i think would pair well with galar articuno bc of its middling speed. you could trick room against fast teams, and imprison trick room VS actual trick room teams. sadly you cant run assault vest on hisu avelugg if you run wide guard. i think it needs assault vest to even be usable honestly, which also means no protect. also shout out to wind rider brambleghast. anywho im excited to see what all happens! i think we are gonna see a HUGE drop in ground types effectiveness due to all the flying types. i also think this will mean amoonguss wont be as popular, which i think will eventually mean that water tera becomes the new grass tera, which will also give electric some much needed usefulness being able to hit all the new flying mons + defensive water tera's.
I never used Regidrago in SwSh, but I gotta say tera has opened a whole new world for him in SV Also, feels like Chien-Pao is nuking the entire S tier minus Urshi lol (and Heatran if CP isn't running sacred sword)
I'll just mention some of the mons that i think are interesting. These are all "new" new pokemon that haven't been in any competitive scenes yet (excluding Galarian Slowbro). I think Hisuian Goodra is an ESSENTIAL part of a Trick Room team, it's so bulky that it essentially acts as a wall in the battle that can constantly fire off damage with Dragon Pulse, Flash Cannon and the occasional Flamethrower or Thunderbolt. All in all a 7/10. I feel like Hisuian Arcanine is better than it looks, with STAB Rock Head Flare Blitzes and Head Smashes as well as help from Extreme Speed, it could be an offensive powerhouse. I'd say it's a 6.5/10. Sneasler could be a super speedy and strong physical attacker, with Unburden adding some interesting options. For example, you could use Fake Out with Normal Gem and get the speed boost, or, a common strategy, you could give it a White Herb to reset your stats from Intimidate or the Close Combat defense drops. That, combined with an 80 BP STAB move with essentially a secondary Effect Spore in Dire Claw, could be a great attacker, and pick up some clutch sleep or paralysis when it's in a tough position. 6/10 seems fair. Overqwil is one of my favorite Hisuian pokemon, and it seems like a decently good bulky attacker. Dark/Poison is a great type combo, especially with strong Water type attacks to take care of the Ground types that hit it for super effective, and its high defenses combined with Intimidate and a possible Assault Vest would make it very difficult to take out. It's also got access to some great non-STAB moves thanks to Qwilfish's previous Water type like Liquidation and Aqua Jet. It seems good but not great. 5/10 for this one. Hisuian Lilligant is a fun pick. With a physical version of Quiver Dance (or if you prefer, a Dragon Dance that also boosts Defense or a Bulk Up that also boosts speed) and Chlorophyll with a high speed stat, this thing can outspeed a lot of other pokemon and deal out good damage. The problem is that it's Grass/Fighting which is not a good typing. With five weaknesses and a 4x weakness to flying, if Lilligant can't OHKO whatever it's facing down it's in serious danger. I'm only giving it a 4/10 because of this. Kleavor is a fun pokemon. With a Bug/Rock typing, which isn't amazing but also isn't too bad, the ability Sharpness (a new ability that boosts the power of cutting moves) and a signature move that A. does decent damage B. gets boosted by Sharpness and C. puts up Stealth Rocks, it's up in the air as to whether it will be good or not. As Wolfe mentioned, lots of things are vulnerable to stealth rocks with a weak typing or a Focus Sash. I'm still not sure about this pokemon, but I'll give it a 6/10. Galarian Slowbro, Ursaluna and Enamorus-Therian, again, are all AMAZING Trick Room pokemon, with super strong attacks like Guts Facade, Dazzling Gleam and Shell Side Arm respectively. I'll go over each of them a bit. Ursaluna is TURBO busted. MASSIVE Attack and HP, really low speed for Trick Room, the obviously great Guts ability, and has great moves to utilize like Guts boosted Facade and the new Headlong Rush. Easy 10/10. Enamorus-Therian seems really good in Trick Room, with an incredibly low speed stat and super high special attack, it can dish out some serious damage with Dazzling Gleam and Mystical Fire. It earns a good 9/10. I'm a believer in Galarian Slowbro. With balanced attack and special attack, your opponent won't know which attack stat you specialize in. I think most would run towards the special end, as Psychic and coverage moves like Dazzling Gleam and Flamethrower are generally better than Zen Headbutt and coverage of Waterfall and Drain Punch. Psychic/Poison is a pretty good typing, only being weak to Dark, Ghost and Ground, letting Slowbro throw around a lot of strong attacks. This might be controversial, but I'm giving it an 8/10. That's all the mons that I wanted to cover. Hope you agree with me, but if you have some other ideas feel free to let me know! why did i do this
trick room cresselia with icy wind/will-o onto guts ursaluna with weakness policy literally one shots probably mathematically every single pokemon ever added in the franchise
I swear, Game Freak keeps inserting mons with such ludicrous stats and overpowered moves for the past few years, and then just nerfs them the next generation. I don't know if they just never learn, or if it's intentional, it's just a bizarre cycle of chaos they keep putting us through.
Overqwil looks like it can serve as a pseudo incin. awkward speed tier, so if u run intimidate ur mist likely going for bulk. Has acid spray, taunt, and more utility. Can hit hard when it needs to. Can serve in tr if needed. 1 weakness.
I could argue that Hisui qwilfish would be a much better intimidate mon than overqwil, better bulk with eviolite and has access to nice support moves like taunt and haze, also icy wind for speed control
Thunderus with prankster terrain isn’t actually that bad, especially since it opens up possibilities for more paradox Pokemon and makes it so iron bundle doesn’t need booster energy, the only issue is that it’s a primary electric attacker that buffs Eleki
At this point i'd just run an Eleki with Electric Field, Electro Web, Tera Blast/ Thunderbolt and Protect, which could be nice in tandem with Iron Bundle to destroy Ground, Grass and Dragons
Owerquil is op it barnacle barrage has 50 chance to poison an doubles in power if the opponent have a static conduction it also gets access to crunch and and ability swift swim
I can live with certain Mythical Pokémon being banned, but I’d at least enjoy people talking more about how they’d work hypothetically. Even if I’m more of a casual, There’s so little I found about the best way to use Hoopa.
Hisuian liligant gets after you I think and with its speed in sun it can outrun eleki, its also less passive than regular liligant so you could prolly pair it with torkoal and go after you, protect, close combat, and maybe solar blade with a focus sash and it could do some serious work.
@@kevinblackwellwelder there are ways to deal with that and its not as if that is all the litigant will be doing, fact is that it can do some serious damage and while torkoal is the traditional after you pairing you can do other variations. Any slow pokemon would not mind if liligant let it bowwow its decent speed
So serebii MIGHT be incorrect here, Dire Claw does have an increased Crit Stage in Legends Arceus. It starts at 12.5% crit chance, in that game, in Scarlet and Violet they might have changed it but I doubt that since it kept the "Aiming for a Critical Hit." text. So do with that what you will.
I'm going to say that Chesnaught is being underrated here. It's outstanding move pool and relatively solid ability make it into a pretty solid tank that can counter a lot of bulky types. I wouldn't put it above Rillaboom or Meowscarda but, it can unexpectedly be a decent threat. It now has access to Body Press which will hurt a lot or it can continue to be one of the better spikes setter. Not quite to get it to A tier but could be lower B tier
I stand by that normal Typhlosion is better than Hisuan Typhlosion slightly more speed for less Sp.Atk but with access to flash fire and a slight change in EVs is an extremely potent lead with Chi-Yu using Lava Plume on Chi-Yu to trigger flash fire and Typhlosion getting to throw out a massive Eruption (with covert cloak for fake out)
Considering how important speed is, I’m inclined to agree. However H. Typhlosion being immune to Fake Out is big, but that can be solved by pairing normal Typhlosion with Indeedee’s Psychic Surge.
Samurott and Kleavor are better imo. There aren't a lot of hazards going around in VGC and these Pokemon can set them while attacking. Most genies fear Kleavor's Stone Axe and Ceaseless Edge annoys most Trick Room setters. Not meta defining but can have a surprise niche
I’ve been throwing enamorous and specs flutter mane out together and just clicking springtide and dazzling gleam and plowing through games, even sun teams
Wolfe, I challenge you to take all the F-tier Pokémon on your list and put them in teams that actually make them good. If you could do it with Delcatty you can do it with Alolan Dugtrio.
I feel like H Goodra deserves A tier, ive been using a sub protect set to stall out TR teams and Goodra feels almost as bulky as Ting-Lu. I'm probably biased because I really like Goodra but I feel like it's a lot more solid than people give it credit for
Where is H-Zoroark? I know it's technically been available before Home but it's format debut is also in Regulation D and it would be nice to hear ur thoughts on it
A calc I ran that will probably end up being relevant is that both urshifus can ohko max hp ursaluna when terra fighting with no attack boosting items. This format is going tro be nuts. Also with how hard enamorus is to reset for I pray it doesn't become meta defining.
Giving us an elite Trick Room support mon in Cresselia at the same time that they give us an elite Trick Room sweeper in Ursaluna is certainly..... a choice.....
Wow Wolfe you really like jumping the gun not taking your time going through the mons movepools. Braviary has a good movepool, two great abilities, boost it's speed with it's move and great setup with calm mind. Probably won't be meta defining but definitely not a D tier.

Honestly, with the amount of psychic types running around (Armarouge, Indeedee), as well as Flutter Mane? Plus being immune to taunt right when Incinerator is poised to return and Murkrow's been so present? I can absolutely see Samurott's dark typing alone making it useful.
It’s S tier in OU rn. The first starter to hit S tier ever, quite the feat
I think it's main issue is that it has so much dark and Water type competition that it makes it hard to slot. It's a solid pokemon but we have Chien Pao and the other ruins, the Urshifus, Goltress, Basculegion, Palafin so it does become a struggle to justify using it over them. It has potential because spikes can be stacked and sharpness makes up for the attack stat, you're using 100 BP STABs and a 135 BP Sacred Sword afterall
@@lovelyluna733 Scarf and sash sets on Samu are insane tbh. The ability to have big power in its attacks due to sharpness, plus great overall moves in Sacred Sword, X-Scissor, Knock Off, AJ, Aqua Cutter, and the best move of all Ceaseless Edge. Plus for sash sets, you have SD to boost STAB Aqua Jet & Sucker Punch. It’s a very high ceiling mon.
@Peyton York yes those moves can output a good amount of damage, 100 BP STABs and 130 BP coverage, but you're being compared to Chien Pao, who with Sword of Ruin basically has an attack stat of 170. It's hard to pass up the thing
252 Atk Sword of Ruin Chien-Pao Ice Spinner vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mew: 165-195 (48.3 - 57.1%) -- 91.8% chance to 2HKO
252 Atk Sharpness Samurott-Hisui Aqua Cutter vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mew: 151-178 (44.2 - 52.1%) -- 16% chance to 2HKO
It is a Feat to be comparable in damage to Chien Pao, but it still speaks to what Samu is competing with. The Urshifu's also have 110-120 BP STAB in their signature move and close combat along with a higher attack stat (130 vs 108). And they don't even use their ability to actually have decent STABs because they already do, unseen fist is easily the most broken thing in the game. And when you SD, you're acting like a worse Urshifu. (Lower hp, lower attack, lower Def, relative SpD, slower, lacking in ability).
It's not bad or anything, sure, but it has so much competition it can't keep up with, Hence people don't use it often. OU really shows you what it can do when it's competition is banned (albeit, hazards are major there)
Azelf choice band explosion with telepathy rabsca setting up trick room, sending out ursaluna and start the sweep on turn 2 is doin me pretty well ngl
If trick room gets shut down, revival blessing azelf and try again lol
I remember Wolfe doing this with Banded Lando and Trick Room Dialga
You are cooking some heat honestly
@@js91666 double explosion is actually the best use of revival blessing I've seen
Azelf can Trick Room too, if you think your opponent is gonna try and focus down Rabsca
Wolfe, triple arrows is better than you think, it has 50% chance to lower defense AND a 30% flinch rate so it can do both
But its stuck on Hisidueye
Oh shit really that’s kinda awesome
the problem is it has a speed stat where it's not fast enough to naturally outspeed anything and it's not slow enough to really take advantage of trick room, so you're not really flinching anything
I miss the version that increased your crit rate. The defense drop was also guaranteed, I think.
wall breaker move of all time
@@sumthinorother9615 it still has increased crit rate, you’re thinking of Ceaseless edge which also used to have increased crit rate
Wolfe Jamie's main point was G articuno pairs super good with ursaluna. Typing synergy, immune to EQ, TR, and competitive to protect from intimidate. The last of which gives it a considerable niche vs using cress
In showdonw no one is using intimidate...
@@matxp6085 aracnine and lando are still really good and have been almsot everywhere
@@matxp6085unfortunately unless you are 1500+ showdown usage is worthless 😮💨
I wanna give a shout to Hisuian Qwilfish, as a supportive Intimidater with Eviolite, it's actually pretty bulky (bulkier than Overqwil) and could be annoying with stuff like Toxic (Spikes), Barb Barrage etc.
When Wolfey does tier lists with minimal prep, those were always my favorite wideos from him
Am I the only one who is more excited for a video on this channel than on the main?
I am as well
Same comp analysis is way more interesting
sometimes miss the intro and the personal connection
I like this better. Obviously the professionalism and cleaner editing has worked out and gotten Wolfe over 1m subs, but I prefer off-the-cuff Wolfe more
Bonus Wolfe is my favorite Wolfe
They may not have nerfed Regidrago's ability but they nerfed it's signature move animation a lot which is more important than any stat.
Hi Wolfe! You actually missed a super important part of the Genie's Storm moves (I don't blame you, it's kind of a hidden mechanic) - they don't check accuracy in rain.
That's right, Tornadus the monster that it is, has 100% accurate 100bp spread move with a 30% chance to lower speed for each pokemon.
Thundurus gets a 10bp weaker spread version of Thunder with a 20% chance to para each Pokemon
Lando gets a 100bp ground spread move boosted even further by sheer force life orb, or with a 20% chance to burn each pokemon if you run Sand Force instead
I'm not too sure about Lando, I could see it maybe working in some situations, but both Tornadus and Thundurus sound terrifying in rain now, especially with Prankster Rain Dance
Although Springtide Storm is not affected by rain
Lando-I does insane damage with Sandsear Storm boosted by life orb and sheer force
@@GarrukApexPredator thanks for adding that one, I wonder why GF singled it out lol. maybe because... cherry blossoms(?) aren't a weather condition??? who knows.
@@idkputsomerandomname9657 yeah I mentioned it, I dunno what they were thinking giving these moves the Thunder/Hurricane treatment lol
Lando-I still probably wants to run Earth Power a lot of the time, but Sandsear Storm could be really good on Kyogre rain teams.
i can appreciate your main channel becoming such high quality but this is the wolfie i enjoy. the man who will talk your ear off about pokémon to anyone willing in your own way. i love hearing your thoughts and analysis, especially when you once said that you think about scenarios in your head throughout the day (i do the same lol). love you wolfie, and never forget the 1 hour intro.
Oh no someone used Throat Chop on Wolfe
I gotta say I miss this form of Wolfe so much more, just the vibes from this feel very personal and real compared to his main channel
yeah I'm gonna say his "I release this team of shinies" vid felt very forced. I just made a joke short (not uploaded yet) where I had the AI write the script, and that's the exact vibe I got from parts of his video - it didn't feel real.
@@vicksin I like to call it the mr beastification, where so many RUclipsrs try to adopt his style of video and it just comes off as lifeless, alpharad comes to mind when it comes to his main channel, just a severe drop in authenticity
@@leftistdegeneratejs yeah Wolfey's "irl nuzlocke" had the right amount of humor and self awareness but his recent shiny team video just felt /off/, not the Wolfe I know ;( but hey if it's performing well then more power to him ig, we want him to succeed!
I know it won't change much, but Cresselia's base defense and base special defense were dropped by 10 each for generation 9
Hisuian arcanine going into c is really funny considering current context
Sneasler is an easy A for me, super fast even without unburden, super strong, dire claw, fake out etc
Mirror Herb unburden sneasler partnered with swagger Tornadus has been one of the funnest sets ive ran, sneasler just annihilates things when you set that up
0:00 To be fair some of those Pokemon could be really nice in like mid-tiers, but you have to waste Tera on some of them. Like Arcanine and Avalugg especially need that simpler typing.
6:10 Samurott's, Kleavor's and Sneasler's signature moves were incorrectly marked as high-crit ratio moves. They did announce they gonna fix it.
20:25 There is no Tapu Koko, but Miraidon is in. Even if only in some game modes. Raichu is still bad, but you know - there may be some crazy gimmick that people would use, I guess.
20:50 SV is Dark Type infested. Prankster is actually way weaker in this gen, because of that. Not to mention all the plethora anti-status abilities introduced this gen.
34:10 Regieleki will be gross.
38:10 Any Pokemon can now wield Ice type Tera Blast. Tera Landorus could counter it, but I think it will be way weaker than usual. Especially as we have more things that work against Intimidate and also not many Pokemon that are super weak against ground, flying or rock. It's still will be disgusting, but I don't see it doing as good as previously. Especially as we do have a lot of high damage attackers. Palafin, Flutter Mane, even Dondozo do good against it. And the new move doesn't buff it as much as those do for other djinns.
40:20 From illegal Pokemon - at least for Smogon definitely Mew, Calyrex and Magearna will be pretty disgusting with Tera mechanics. Volcanion is now the only Scald user, Hoopa could also get a lot from Tera typing.
I feel Lando-I is a bit slept on. 100 BP spread ground move boosted by sheer force and perfect acc in rain and doesn't hit your partner. also nasty plot.
A lot of the good mons resist or immune ground. That’s the issues i came unto. It’s not as spammable as you might think
sandy shocks looking real nice with this
unless cresselia or someone else has gravity now in which case nvm
In my experience, Hisuian Typhlosion has a solid niche as the Strongest Eruption user in the game, and you can largely get away with using Choice Specs on it if you pair it up with, say Tailwind+Sunny Day Tornadus.
Torkoal is better tho
@@LuvanweedI’ve had more success with Typhlosion-H than I’ve had with Torkoal. Having Prankster Sunny Day support has gotten me more turn 1 victories than I’ve ever had before. It’s not to be underestimated.
At least torkoal has drought, but no matter what you do with either you still need speed control. It's just that typhlosion is better out of trick room as opposed to torkoal who NEEDS trick room so either needs help.
@@seivar2415 Choice Scarf in and of itself is a form of speed control. As is the partner Thundurus with max speed Timid and Prankster Taunt to, at worst, speed tie opposing Thundurus and Tornadus and stop opposing Tailwind, as well as the partner Imprison + TR Indeedee-F to oppose Cresselia and protect Typhlosion from priority courtesy of the terrain. It works surprisingly well in practice.
Edit: said Landorus instead of Tornadus. Fixed now.
@tmasterlordoflightning4754 doesn't change the fact: Speed control is necessary. Either is extremely powerful, but still need a form of speed control to claim victory.
Might I suggest you do a follow-up video in a few months, comparing your predictions to actual usage stats? That's what Hearthstone's Trump used to do, and it was really great commentary.
He talked pretty big about his crazy calls in the beginning then made the safest predictions ever
H-Goodra has body press and shelter, along with good special coverage and shell armor to prevent unfortunate crits from ruining set up
Shelter is bad just run acid armor
@@cuttlefish6839 they do the exact same thing
@@largebigmacmealwithfanta that's the joke
@@largebigmacmealwithfanta yes but shelter has less pp than acid armor
It's also important to note that Shell Armor prevents guaranteed crits as well, like with Urshifu.
the amount of times wolfe looks at the regular form stats instead of scrolling further down to see the hisuian form stats kills me, he's been making that mistake that for several of these videos
"Fighting pairs good with grass to for example hit steel"
Looks at Deckydewey: "Grass fighting is not that good as I mentioned" :)
It depends on circumstance as being fast and weak defensively but hit like a truck it doesn't matter, but being slow or being meant to be defensive it does
@@mohammadmurie Well Grass/Fighting is one of the few dual types that resists Edgequake without Levitation. It's at least something.
@@groudonvert7286 yeah but still being weak to fire, ice, fairy, and quad weak to flying all very common types hurts, quad weaknesses just hurt a lot for those slow defensive mons, but at least they never have to worry about an earthquake just birds instead
@@mohammadmurie Edgequake is Stone Edge+Earthquake (or Rock/Ground combo)
Hisuian electrode has been a great tech option for OU and ive fallen in love with it. IM running (Taunt, Volt switch, Thunderbolt, leaf storm) fast leafstorm and volt mix incredibly well together and at base 150 its one of the fastest nonprankster taunts in the game, with taunt volt switch making it a great antilead. Nonterra leafstorm alsov1 shots Great Tusk. Usually 1 shots garganacl, and is nice for big damage on ursaluna. Needs a good team around it but its great speed stat allows it to clean up many nonscarf sweepers late game.
Hi, i am sneazler’s avocado.
I just want to make everyone see that he is super effective against all A and S tier mons.
He has very good coverage and close combat+dire claw+acrobatics is not resisted by any type. Witch makes place for fake-out, a really good move, especially for your lead.
And ladies and gentlemen, you are gonna lead this thing
Altough you may think his biggest strengh is his coverage, you are wrong. His biggest strengh is the combo between his ability, a forgoten gen 9 item and a forgoten gen 9 Pokemon. I am talking about unburden, mirror herb and scovilain. Unberden makes a Pokemon insanely fast when it loses or uses his item. Wolf is talking about focus sash, but i got even better: mirror herb. Mirror herb is USED when an ennemy gets a buff, and it copies said buff. Now you might say: But why, random human being, would i base my strat on the enemies team?
Thats the neat part, you dont.
Because scovilain exists with his demed bad signature move: spicy extract. This move BUFFS a Pokemon’s attack but lowers his defense. Every one was shiting on this move, but i saw his potential: use it on a enemy. The enemy is debuffed, and if you have mirror herb on one of your Pokemon, HE gets the buff. Do you see de vision? You make your sneazler slightly slower than scovilain ( his speed is doubling anyway ) and Target the same Pokemon with your attacking sneazler move and your spicy extract.
Sneazler now has double speed, double attack, buffed acrobatics and a free kill since the enemy has no defence. You can now sweep, using your scovilain as an Amoonguss-like with rage powder and helping hand.
Ps: use flying tera for sneazler, it negates the ground weakness and buffs acrobatics
Pss: sorry for my poor orthograph, i am french
Pss: please make Wolfey see this
the return of bonuswolfe has been much appreciated. missed the intro
I am so hyped for Ursaluna absolutely destroying the competitive
not if everyone has a counter
@@MultiZernezif everybody has a counter then that means ursaluna has done it’s job
Indeed it is very powerful. But if you know how to play around tr users ursaluna is very mid.
It's easily countered with an Tera ghost and any abilities that ignores ground type moves it's definitely also not ranked S teir 🤣🤣🤣

Dude you rock!!
Hey! Someone who actually mentions the utility of Enamorus-T
idk, hisuian goodra has a massive defensive buff (better typing and better defense) plus its slower so its better in trick room. It doesn't do a lot of damage at base, but I think running shelter and body press with protect and leftovers is gonna make hisuian goodra a huge threat that'll be extremely difficult to take off the field
I hate this pokemon so much, cannot find a good way to deal with it
I look forward to this being re-uploaded with the sound fixed.
Bringing home in before worlds was arguably the most radical decision The Pokemon Company has ever made. Also please Wolfey, I'm begging you, teach us how to beat Ursaluna, it blows through everything.
Dude the answer to ursaluna is ursaluna
Glastrier is slower and has cc with sd...
Abomasnow ain’t bad into it
Surely just intimidate it
@@princess_sarina_aria_elysia bear feels like you would need 3 intimidates to slow it down
Overquill’s existence distracts from the tank that is Quilfish hisui
As a fan of ice types I will say that with it's movepool and its muuuch lower speed, hisuian avalugg is like. One of the few offensive pokemon who could seriously handle enamorous or ursaluna in trick room possibly? It gets stab supereffective damage against both, and for ursaluna specifically I feel like it's 185 base defense with snow boost could actually make it possssibly help against ursaluna's massive attack
Actually, it's pretty bulky even without Snow.
I saw mine take a Garchomp's Earthquake pretty well.
@@bluebaron6811 That's like Avalugg's gimmick. It could always tank physical hits. The problem is that it collapses from any special attack. So decent wall against Ursaluna but, absolutely cannot tank Landorus or Enamorus
I think Glastrier has serious potential with all the ice weak Pokémon running around
Assault Vest Glastrier in snow is going to be incredibly difficult to remove.
From my experience on the Reg D ladder, I think I would make these changes:
- Thundurus potentially to S (Wildbolt Storm is a very good addition)
- Zapdos to B (never really seen it used, tbh Eleki and Thundurus are just better imo)
- H-Goodra to A (incredible anti-meta pick, Acid Armor set is a great wincon)
- Regidrago to A (I'm not kidding, it's INSANE. I haven't used it, but it's always so scary to face. Tera Dragon Dragon Energy hits so hard and now it gets Earth Power for coverage)
Also potentially G-Moltres and G-Zapdos to A but that's borderline. They're super good but maybe my teams have just been weak to them.
Interested to see what others think!
One thing to note about Cresselia is that it lost 10 Defense and 10 SpDef in Gen IX. Will still probably be good with its movepool but it has nerfed stats.
this really helped me get a grasp on the new mons, so thank you!! wonderful as always. some thoughts from poking around in team builder:
fake out priority on rillaboom and sneasler gonna be huge in setting up tailwind/trick rooms, and i foresee covert cloak, mental herb, ghost/dark tera being very common for turn 1.
frisk wyrdeer skill swapping guts off ursaluna (or intimidate with a competitive mon?) i think its utility is gonna be its big selling point lowkey. confuse ray/thunder wave rng, disable, screens or helping hand if you want, and psyshield bash giving you defense to outlast ursa/physicals, and ghost tera sounds super sweet to get around the facades/close combats (especially if you end up skill swapping cresselia's levitate, so ursa's EQs hit it too.) also rillaboom's knock off could just stop guts before it gets outta hand potentially.
galar articuno getting access to both tailwind and trick room AND imprison. not sure how reliable it would be, but i imagine being able to deny trick room while still having tailwind or being able to trick room when someone else tailwinds has a lot of value.
normal tera regieleki, max speed/atk, adamant nature, normal gem explosions. also why i think protect will still be meaningful even when urshifu exist.
prankster rain dance is gonna be very common with the +accuracy to storm moves, so i think running other weather specifically to counter (prankster sunny day for example) could really throw a wrench in some plans. alternatively, wide guard. sadly only hisu avelugg is the newest with it. however, thats exactly the type of mon i think would pair well with galar articuno bc of its middling speed. you could trick room against fast teams, and imprison trick room VS actual trick room teams.
sadly you cant run assault vest on hisu avelugg if you run wide guard. i think it needs assault vest to even be usable honestly, which also means no protect. also shout out to wind rider brambleghast.
anywho im excited to see what all happens! i think we are gonna see a HUGE drop in ground types effectiveness due to all the flying types. i also think this will mean amoonguss wont be as popular, which i think will eventually mean that water tera becomes the new grass tera, which will also give electric some much needed usefulness being able to hit all the new flying mons + defensive water tera's.
Tera Ice Regileki,nuff said
@@BKChanSaga6767 yeh thats the other more common tera. normal tera explosion is just a great gimmick to catch people off guard tbh, still fun tho!
ive never played a single game of pokemon but I like listening to these videos
I never used Regidrago in SwSh, but I gotta say tera has opened a whole new world for him in SV
Also, feels like Chien-Pao is nuking the entire S tier minus Urshi lol (and Heatran if CP isn't running sacred sword)
You did it. You called Chien Pao CP
They should call you Humble wolf cause you and only you found out about those pokemon MONTHS before anyone ever ever used them.....
I'll just mention some of the mons that i think are interesting. These are all "new" new pokemon that haven't been in any competitive scenes yet (excluding Galarian Slowbro).
I think Hisuian Goodra is an ESSENTIAL part of a Trick Room team, it's so bulky that it essentially acts as a wall in the battle that can constantly fire off damage with Dragon Pulse, Flash Cannon and the occasional Flamethrower or Thunderbolt. All in all a 7/10.
I feel like Hisuian Arcanine is better than it looks, with STAB Rock Head Flare Blitzes and Head Smashes as well as help from Extreme Speed, it could be an offensive powerhouse. I'd say it's a 6.5/10.
Sneasler could be a super speedy and strong physical attacker, with Unburden adding some interesting options. For example, you could use Fake Out with Normal Gem and get the speed boost, or, a common strategy, you could give it a White Herb to reset your stats from Intimidate or the Close Combat defense drops. That, combined with an 80 BP STAB move with essentially a secondary Effect Spore in Dire Claw, could be a great attacker, and pick up some clutch sleep or paralysis when it's in a tough position. 6/10 seems fair.
Overqwil is one of my favorite Hisuian pokemon, and it seems like a decently good bulky attacker. Dark/Poison is a great type combo, especially with strong Water type attacks to take care of the Ground types that hit it for super effective, and its high defenses combined with Intimidate and a possible Assault Vest would make it very difficult to take out. It's also got access to some great non-STAB moves thanks to Qwilfish's previous Water type like Liquidation and Aqua Jet. It seems good but not great. 5/10 for this one.
Hisuian Lilligant is a fun pick. With a physical version of Quiver Dance (or if you prefer, a Dragon Dance that also boosts Defense or a Bulk Up that also boosts speed) and Chlorophyll with a high speed stat, this thing can outspeed a lot of other pokemon and deal out good damage. The problem is that it's Grass/Fighting which is not a good typing. With five weaknesses and a 4x weakness to flying, if Lilligant can't OHKO whatever it's facing down it's in serious danger. I'm only giving it a 4/10 because of this.
Kleavor is a fun pokemon. With a Bug/Rock typing, which isn't amazing but also isn't too bad, the ability Sharpness (a new ability that boosts the power of cutting moves) and a signature move that A. does decent damage B. gets boosted by Sharpness and C. puts up Stealth Rocks, it's up in the air as to whether it will be good or not. As Wolfe mentioned, lots of things are vulnerable to stealth rocks with a weak typing or a Focus Sash. I'm still not sure about this pokemon, but I'll give it a 6/10.
Galarian Slowbro, Ursaluna and Enamorus-Therian, again, are all AMAZING Trick Room pokemon, with super strong attacks like Guts Facade, Dazzling Gleam and Shell Side Arm respectively. I'll go over each of them a bit.
Ursaluna is TURBO busted. MASSIVE Attack and HP, really low speed for Trick Room, the obviously great Guts ability, and has great moves to utilize like Guts boosted Facade and the new Headlong Rush. Easy 10/10.
Enamorus-Therian seems really good in Trick Room, with an incredibly low speed stat and super high special attack, it can dish out some serious damage with Dazzling Gleam and Mystical Fire. It earns a good 9/10.
I'm a believer in Galarian Slowbro. With balanced attack and special attack, your opponent won't know which attack stat you specialize in. I think most would run towards the special end, as Psychic and coverage moves like Dazzling Gleam and Flamethrower are generally better than Zen Headbutt and coverage of Waterfall and Drain Punch. Psychic/Poison is a pretty good typing, only being weak to Dark, Ghost and Ground, letting Slowbro throw around a lot of strong attacks. This might be controversial, but I'm giving it an 8/10.
That's all the mons that I wanted to cover. Hope you agree with me, but if you have some other ideas feel free to let me know!
why did i do this
im tired after all that thinking

trick room cresselia with icy wind/will-o onto guts ursaluna with weakness policy literally one shots probably mathematically every single pokemon ever added in the franchise
I swear, Game Freak keeps inserting mons with such ludicrous stats and overpowered moves for the past few years, and then just nerfs them the next generation. I don't know if they just never learn, or if it's intentional, it's just a bizarre cycle of chaos they keep putting us through.
Ive been playing with Unburden Psychic seed Sneasler with Indeede-F and it runs through everything, especially with Tera flying Acrobatics.
the new genie moves they added are 100% accurate in rain besides enamorus's
Overqwil looks like it can serve as a pseudo incin. awkward speed tier, so if u run intimidate ur mist likely going for bulk. Has acid spray, taunt, and more utility. Can hit hard when it needs to. Can serve in tr if needed. 1 weakness.
Ive been dreading the day we have to start considering Eleki all the time
I could argue that Hisui qwilfish would be a much better intimidate mon than overqwil, better bulk with eviolite and has access to nice support moves like taunt and haze, also icy wind for speed control
Thunderus with prankster terrain isn’t actually that bad, especially since it opens up possibilities for more paradox Pokemon and makes it so iron bundle doesn’t need booster energy, the only issue is that it’s a primary electric attacker that buffs Eleki
At this point i'd just run an Eleki with Electric Field, Electro Web, Tera Blast/ Thunderbolt and Protect, which could be nice in tandem with Iron Bundle to destroy Ground, Grass and Dragons
Owerquil is op it barnacle barrage has 50 chance to poison an doubles in power if the opponent have a static conduction it also gets access to crunch and and ability swift swim
Hm, Kleavor can use assault vest and have some solid bulk and still set stealth rocks
The intro was a longwinded way of (accurately) saying “I don’t need experience, I’m the GOAT”
Chlorophyll physical attacker i mostly think Leafeon tbf
EDIT: I just remembered Sawsbuck!
I can live with certain Mythical Pokémon being banned, but I’d at least enjoy people talking more about how they’d work hypothetically.
Even if I’m more of a casual, There’s so little I found about the best way to use Hoopa.
Smogon :D
Another problem with glastrier is that icicle crash is it's best ice move, which is only 90% accurate
Wolfe: "This is going to be a fast video."
Me: *Instantly looks at the time*
Lmaoo great intro as always 🤣 “I actually feel like it might just be a skill issue at this point” 😂😂
it would be hilarious if he just left this up with no sound
Hisuian liligant gets after you I think and with its speed in sun it can outrun eleki, its also less passive than regular liligant so you could prolly pair it with torkoal and go after you, protect, close combat, and maybe solar blade with a focus sash and it could do some serious work.
too many prankster rain dance users though
@@kevinblackwellwelder there are ways to deal with that and its not as if that is all the litigant will be doing, fact is that it can do some serious damage and while torkoal is the traditional after you pairing you can do other variations. Any slow pokemon would not mind if liligant let it bowwow its decent speed
So serebii MIGHT be incorrect here, Dire Claw does have an increased Crit Stage in Legends Arceus. It starts at 12.5% crit chance, in that game, in Scarlet and Violet they might have changed it but I doubt that since it kept the "Aiming for a Critical Hit." text. So do with that what you will.
I love how its simple as Cresselia having icy wind = meta defining
I'm going to say that Chesnaught is being underrated here. It's outstanding move pool and relatively solid ability make it into a pretty solid tank that can counter a lot of bulky types. I wouldn't put it above Rillaboom or Meowscarda but, it can unexpectedly be a decent threat. It now has access to Body Press which will hurt a lot or it can continue to be one of the better spikes setter. Not quite to get it to A tier but could be lower B tier
I would put it in C
I stand by that normal Typhlosion is better than Hisuan Typhlosion slightly more speed for less Sp.Atk but with access to flash fire and a slight change in EVs is an extremely potent lead with Chi-Yu using Lava Plume on Chi-Yu to trigger flash fire and Typhlosion getting to throw out a massive Eruption (with covert cloak for fake out)
Considering how important speed is, I’m inclined to agree. However H. Typhlosion being immune to Fake Out is big, but that can be solved by pairing normal Typhlosion with Indeedee’s Psychic Surge.
Not sure if hisuian decidueye will be good, but the fact that it gets scrappy means it can smack ghost types like gholdengo which is kinda neat
Gholdengo
@AdminAbuse that's definitely how I spelt it, pay no attention to the (edited) man behind the curtain
I'm going to start saying "Thank Pikachu for that" because of this video
"I like Chesnaught. Well, I dont like how it looks and I dont like its evolutionary line" amazing
Samurott and Kleavor are better imo. There aren't a lot of hazards going around in VGC and these Pokemon can set them while attacking. Most genies fear Kleavor's Stone Axe and Ceaseless Edge annoys most Trick Room setters. Not meta defining but can have a surprise niche
I’ve been throwing enamorous and specs flutter mane out together and just clicking springtide and dazzling gleam and plowing through games, even sun teams
This feels like OG Wolfe content, just what we needed
Wolfe, I challenge you to take all the F-tier Pokémon on your list and put them in teams that actually make them good. If you could do it with Delcatty you can do it with Alolan Dugtrio.
When you can, make a team of only S-tiers. Either you stomp, or it becomes a cool challenge because you don't have access to pokemon in lower tiers.
Hisuian Samurott has 5 points off hp and both defenses for 15 more on speed, plus 8 off SpAtk and 8 on Atk
I feel like H Goodra deserves A tier, ive been using a sub protect set to stall out TR teams and Goodra feels almost as bulky as Ting-Lu.
I'm probably biased because I really like Goodra but I feel like it's a lot more solid than people give it credit for
I love your videos. Fall asleep to them sometimes (not a bad thing)
Ngl im vibing with eviolite qwilfish
Wolfey's bookmarks: Pokemon, Tax, and RUclips. Truly fits the character.
Where is H-Zoroark? I know it's technically been available before Home but it's format debut is also in Regulation D and it would be nice to hear ur thoughts on it
It's also worth noting with Gapdos that it can't touch Gholdengo because it lost Blase Kick.
It does have stomping tantrum but most Gholdengho run air baloon
A calc I ran that will probably end up being relevant is that both urshifus can ohko max hp ursaluna when terra fighting with no attack boosting items.
This format is going tro be nuts.
Also with how hard enamorus is to reset for I pray it doesn't become meta defining.
Btw Wolfe. Hisuian Braviary gets sheer force STAB Hurricane which gets stronger by Tera and it’s a very strong special attacker
The king is back!
Wolfe: Lemme Tell Ya About Cresselia!
Me, the viewer: I’m listening.
The algorithm can keep that over edited Wolfe
I like this Wolfe better, a real YouTubist.
Giving us an elite Trick Room support mon in Cresselia at the same time that they give us an elite Trick Room sweeper in Ursaluna is certainly..... a choice.....
sadly there isnt a way to ohko cresselia outside of ohko moves yet to stop it so go ham
Tera electric cresselia, no weaknesses. Lets fukken go
And regidrago has already got top 8 in 2 tournaments
Wow Wolfe you really like jumping the gun not taking your time going through the mons movepools. Braviary has a good movepool, two great abilities, boost it's speed with it's move and great setup with calm mind. Probably won't be meta defining but definitely not a D tier.
I'm convinced people are sleeping on Kleavor's damage and utility with Stone Axe. Sharpness Stone Axe with a free Stealth Rock is kinda bonkers
But you do have experience Wolfey; the Legends Arceus tournament you held.
You checked normal Samurott stats instead of Hisuian Samurott.
Same with goodra’s Special Attack stat
