In this video, I try out a super bulky team that just won an online grassroots tournament with over 100 players in it! It features Toxapex, a Pokemon that has historically seen very little play in VGC, as well as Shelter Hisuan Goodra, Calm Mind Sinistcha, and Covert Cloak Grimmsnarl! Toxapex is super disruptive and can trap Pokemon in while dealing great residual damage with Binding Band + Infestation, and Hisuan Goodra is one of the best anti-meta Pokemon in the format right now.

Thank you for featuring the team Aaron! I've been struggling to find my footing in the game since OTS became standard for competitive play and it was exciting to get a strong result that I really wasn't expecting. Thrilled to share some unexplored concepts that even though the team might not be the best constructed people can take those ideas and build on them - thank you for sharing them as well to your wider audience
The team was awesome!
I'm curious why you settled on Light Screen over Reflect on the Grimmsnarl. It's a very physical-heavy meta right now, but I assume it covers what the team needs more? Is it for specific leads?
Edit: I guess even just the first game answers why. I'm just always trying to fit Prankster Misty Terrain on Grimmsnarl to both cancel other terrains and also prevent status.
@@Kasaaz the main reason was I felt taunt was too valuable to give up because opposing taunt and encore can shut down a lot of what the team needs to do and having intimidate + parting shot + shelter deals really well with the physical Heavy meta
love the team but random question why -Atk on the goodra? is it for foul play stuff?
That's what I figured. It really does shore up the weaknesses.
One thing I think Aaron missed here is the opportunity to side parting shot into your own Toxapex. It lets you make your switch after your opponent has moved and it's strictly superior to a hard switch.
Sorry, I meant "after the opponent has revealed whether or not they're switching or going to Tera"
Or protecting for that matter
Yeah, I never thought about that - love the idea! Really insightful comment
[checks video length] Yeah, that tracks
Thank you for putting a link to the tournament !! I host them every Tuesday and The tours have grown way bigger then I ever expected !! super cool to see you feature the winning team! Congrats to Josh & he’s now got an invite to the PokeBros invitational
I like that Grimmsnarl being able to run an extra support move and only use the screen the team actually needs. And QOTD, I know mixed attacking sets are hardly viable in VGC, but in closed team sheet, I feel like those kinds of strats can catch opponents by surprise. Thanks for sharing these battles, Aaron!
Yeah, the only mons I can think of that has run mixed reliably is salamence (especially mega mence) and aegislash.
In this format, Heatran occasionally runs a mixed set with Heavy Slam to OHKO Flutter Mane@@lunardarkangel5237
@@lunardarkangel5237 I believe lucario and infernape also have been used as mixed, I'm pretty sure I came across a few weird sets many yeara ago
@@GreyPunkWolfI'm late but yes both of these mons used to be amazing mixed set late game sweepers back in the day
This is the kind of team Comp that really makes your brain buzz with creativity. I love to see weird mons doing useful things.
Sounds like Shell Armor is the way to go with how you’re worried about a crit being the only thing capable of taking H-Goodra out
yeah, was assuming it was shell armour until he mentioned crits. i wonder if sap supper is for blocking spore/sleep powder?
@@394bowserim assuming it’s because of tera water making u have only 1 weakness and very hard to remove
The fact that you ended game 4 with full HP on all 4 of your pokemon is incredible. Sinistcha is an unbelievably good pokemon if used properly.
Big Stall has invaded VGC, GLORY TO FINCHINATOR
You’re really blessing us with a 1,5 hour video again, thx Aaron
Please say sike
Toxapex
IM SO SORRY
No bro
Hehehe 😂❤
i love toxapex’s design it’s cool to see it being used
Sheeeeesh, thanks for covering a team with toxa that happened to win. When i was thinking about pokes that cover for both urshi and flutter, toxapex, weezing and clodsire where options that came to mind and eventually wanted to give them a try
I love seeing a one screen Grimmsnarl! Definitely a sleeper set to have some extra utility whether its another attack or taunt. If you do run into something you don't have the screen for, parting shot will do more than a screen will do (2/3 vs 3/4).
Hour+ long video from my favorite. Tis truly the Christmas season.
Just wanted to say that I love your long episodes with plenty of battles! :3
Awesome video. I never thought I would find watching stall so engaging, but I always enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work and thanks. Also, glad to see you’re getting sponsors.
That "lot of fire types" with 3 psychic types actually cracked me up, so funny lol
Toxapex: Is terrible in doubles, as its passivity allows the opposing team to focus on its teammates and kill them.
Also Toxapex: Somehow prevails in a double battle.
That last game was wild, goodra and toxapex really wanted that win
Hope you had a good thanksgiving, Aaron! 🧡 thanks for the video 😊
I won a small locals tournament back in 2017 (Sun & Moon era) with Toxapex. The combo of that plus Mimikyu with Baby-Doll Eyes made my opponents rage.
Thank your brightening my day with this excellent content👍
Always wanted to see binding band work.
My favors tech I’m running right now is specs eleki with Thunder helped by torn rain dance. With how fast eleki is, it gets quick 1 hit knock outs my opponent’s not expecting!
Also cool team to watch play, but I could never play a team this slow and methodical 😅
I attempted an infestation toxapex team back in reg C, cool to see it working now, I’ll definitely have to try busting this team out again!
The Big StallTM cannot keep getting away with this, they are tainting our meta !1!!1!
1.5 hours of toxapex?
What did singles players do to deserve this!
Classic Aaron cybertron! Love the plush hope your holidays is well
Love your videos! I made to reach range 10 and maybe today im gonna be at master rank, all cause of your videos and one player from Chile named Yuks. Thank u so much. Hugs from Chile ❤
I love stall team so much that I am so happy to see this vid
i’m staying off the ranked ladder for the next couple of days
We're so Toxaback, boys
I wanna play this at 1.5x speed but I can't help but just watch Toxapaex slowly destroy teams lol
I love how long these videos are regularly 1+ hrs now
My favorite strategy for vgc is almost unheard of in real competitions, the strategy is not hacking
Psyspam speed control will always be my favorite strategy
That was the cutest ad ever lol
My favorite strategy is what I call "utility balance or utility stall." Speed control, with hazard removal. Either trick room (to reverse your opponents room) or something that functions in it. A wallbreaker. Acid spray or fake tears somewhere to apply defensive pressure. Psychic terrain and/or Farigiraf to deny priority.
Edit: Aaron, I wouldn't mind your thoughts an AV Annihilape set, with U-turn and Ice Punch to pivot away from threats or out of an intimidate drop and the IP for coverage. Most EV's in HP and Def. I'd also take ANYONE's constructive criticism.
It's a build I've never seen or heard talked about and I don't know if it's because it's useless or if it's not good enough to warrant real discussion.
I knew Toxapex could cook, I KNEW
The sound effect for infestation creeps me out 😂
Another win in the books for Big Stall™
Stall teams are so funny omg
MY BOY IS BACK LETS GOOOOO
I was in this tour and got 4-2 and missed top cut. cool team that won the tour
That infestation noise made me look out my window for a second
Shiny Toxapex is sooooo cute! Love the pink 😍
You had me at stall
Yay Once again perfect timing
I played against this twice on Showdown this morning. Lost once, won the second time. This would be super interesting to run with a perish song setup (no one tell Wolfe)
Man you got crazy lucky game 4 lol
I love H-Goodra used it at my first event in Pittsburgh. though im not sure why its minus attack nature here instead of Sp atk with the base attack at 31 IVs you can one shot alot of semi bulky flutters with heavy slam its just nice to have that comfort of knowing that in a CTS environment
Also noticed this and I think it must just be a mistake in the team builder
Yes sorry that is a mistake in the paste, I was in a rush transferring the mons to showdown and did that on accident the but the rental should be correct
This is top 3 most interesting teams you've featured ever.
Specifically because it was a tournament winning team with 3 pretty unique Mons and sets.
If anyone was interested... The other were the mistreavus team and Sword and Sheild when you ran the psyical swagger tapu
The infestation sound is like nails on a chalkboard 😭
I just battled this team on ladder and I used fake out on grim turn 1 and also tried to spore Goodra 😂😂
Love seeing sponsors😊
Cybertron joining the war on big stall… on the side of stall
not even timer stall, true stall
i like it
Hi aaron random question but what brand hoody did you wear in previous video?
omg shiny toxapex is so cute!! 💕
Around 1:10:20 you mention led that Tera Ghost Chi Yu couldn't switch out when hit by infestation. If trapping moves don't trap ghost types, does this also apply to pokemon that changed to ghost type? Maybe they just didn't want to switch out?
AFAIK Tera Ghost still applies the same way it would as if it were a Ghost naturally. They likely either forgot or chose not to.
You need to build a Rampardos Team when it comes out (unbiased RampardosFan43 suggestion)
Aaron is there anyway you could make a team for basic vgc like covering basic tactics a simple team that covers a lot
wait what? ... my boy just won a torney?! clicked quicker than a regieleki...
This is so cool! People might complain about stall, but for it to be used effectively in VGC is very difficult!
This team is crazy Lol
Do you think adding Garganacle would be a good addition to this team or would that decrease your damage output to much
I think it could be an alternative to the goodra (to avoid making the team overall more passive).
I feel like infestation should remove the opponents berry or leftovers since you know bugs eat everything and they're infested with them. It's not that powerful a move I don't think that would cause any meta issues either
It's also bug, and doesn't effect ghost types apparently(unless the flutter for some reason had shedshell I suppose)
Should have some more going for it.
@@nunull6427 Ghost types can't be trapped by anything
Not even Shadow Tag
Ninetales learns encore too, it probably had over bundle since its not willo with hypno and its movepool sucks
I honestly have tried using toxapex before but I was never really bringing it to battles so I changed it out
thats a cool wall charger
I feel like shell armor for goodra makes a lot more sense
tera ice goodra also has stonks in snow.
I refuse to go on showdown today 😂😅
I swear I played a team like that on ladder but with sableye instead of grimsnarl
I really love how the meta is moving from offensive to defensive oriented teams!
Game 6 is a real clown fiesta vs clown fiesta team matchup.
dude what happened to your airpods case lol!
Would haze over substitute help into nasty plot gholdengo (and dondozo?). I guess sub is for amoongus?
I created an interesting team, I've been getting good results with it and it has some surprises. Is there a way to share this team with Aaron?
If he thinks it's worth testing it would be an honor.
also shadow ball may have missed the ko on hands, looked close on a potentially bulky boi
Funny thing : at the end of the 4th game you didn't lose any HP XD
Helps they had no idea you were NOT Shell Armor game one.
My favorite strategy in vgc is trick room.
Toxapex is a power house..... baneful bunker, hex, infestation & recover poison them then use hex and infestation
And actual good sponsor 🤖
Is Goodra actually Bold? Shouldn’t it be impish for Heavy Slam?
It was a mistake on the showdown bit, the rental code has the correct nature
what about acid armor instead of shelter and 0 atk ivs on hoodra
I'd play this team but crits tilt me so much and with a stall team like this youre more likely to get haxs so games I lose due to lucky crits will tilt me off the face of the earth, its why I had to stop using Dozogiri
Yo that was sick
new cybertron new cybertron
Stall vs Stall is there anything more fun?
Why goodra is bold nature instead of impish nature? (Heavy slam is physical)
Mistake in the paste, the rental code has it correct
I really miss those overviews you did during SwSh, where you can see the entire team including items and attacks at one glance. The deep dives are helpful, but the overview really helps to understand the teams. I think James Baek still gives the overview. :)
Is bold nature a mistake? Why would you wanna lower your attack
the paste is incorrect but the rental code is impish, was just an error in transalting the team to showdown
I love bulky team
Why does Goodra-H have a negative attack nature?
Mistake in the paste, it's correct in the rental cofe
Ain’t no way stall won wtf
Toxapex my nightmares.
big UGreen supporter. sad i can't get them for europe
crazy pex! bootleg shadow tag
