I can’t stop saying how much I love this regulation. I’ve hardly ever used any legendary and I’ve been doing well with my team, not so wacky Spiritomb Gholdengo Meowstic male Palafin Rillaboom Porygon-Z
@@rydermcclanahan6324 take hits since it helps being immune to 3 types and I have it as a Tera steel. Though Tera poison should help also with taking the fairy type attacks.
Scyther’s pretty interesting. Dual Wingbeat to get around Focus Sash on Pokemon like Meowscarada, Blaziken, or Flamigo, Close Combat for good coverage, and Thief might be not just for Technician, but in case Eviolite is removed, Scyther can move before most opponents and take their item before they can move
I think that also Scyther has the same base stats as it's evolution with it being 500 and given the Evolite increases it's both special defense & physical defense. Tho I'm not sure as to why his tera type is being dragon only to assume to cover it's weaknesess probably.
This is why I love lower powerlevel VGC formats. Pokémon who would never see the light of day are so cool to see. Legendaries are naturally centralizing, as they are the most “special” and powerful Pokémon. Removing them leads to so much more experimentation. Even as the meta will develop and become more refined, it’s just good to see some weird stuff
i hate how people defended legndaries in other formats by justifying that oh kyogre allowed people to run raichu and shedinja like its some kind of argument
Having escaped the bottomless hole that is Marvel Strike Force, PLEASE don't fall in like I did. Constantly being harassed to buy things, the goalpost moving, and worst of all the constant energy collection throughout the day. It is a CHORE of a game to play especially if you get in a competitive alliance, so be careful if you check this game out. It CAN be fun for a while, but eventually you just are grinding away forever...
When you're a glass cannon and you're on the borderline of 1 shots and not having clean guarantees that's just the way of it. Not bad in a playthrough at all, but competitive really wants 1 shots coming from more frail Pokemon and it's really only doing that with ones really weak to it (and without assault vest)
Hypno has always been on the creepy side, but I like that about it. I feel like it’s a victim of what I like to call “The Vaporeon Problem”, where the internet takes one thing about a Pokémon, exaggerates it to high hell, and nearly ruins its reputation. In Hypno’s case, people saw that one bad apple that tried to kidnap Lostelle in the Sevii Islands and made that the species’ entire personality.
@@AvidCanineEnjoyer I don’t mean just creepy. Have you read the copypasta? Stuff like that dominating a Pokémon’s reputation and warping how people perceive those who like that Pokémon. You can’t say you like Vaporeon anymore without getting a few wierd looks or being asked to clarify how you like it. Same situation applies to Hypno where it’s creepy and somewhat dangerous, but nothing heinous, but thanks to that one event in the Sevii Islands, people have made kidnapping children Hypno’s whole deal.
Genuine question, what makes it your favorite? Creepiness aside, I feel like drowzee is more likely to be someone's favorite cause he looks fat and dumb
From my experience, with one or more moxie boosts and speed boosts, it can essentially do what sneasler does and hit mons like archaludon for an OHKO. It also allows it to pick up KO’s with its other boosted moves and because it’s using focus sash, it doesn’t have to rely on a defensive Tera as much.
@@shiruotakuno28 my guess is that since it's so frail, a defensive tera is basically never worthwhile, and offensively if you have a 1 time 1.5x boost to any of your moves, its a lot easier to consistently grab a surprise KO, boosting *all* your moves with moxie
This reminds me of how I got past spore with electric terrain electsbuzz and H-Goodra sap sipper. I love using mons in non-meta ways and I always make it to masterball rank on ladder. I just finished training a full bulk, support Empoleon with agility, feather dance, and Air Cutter to mess around with momentum.
I tried out Scarf Flamigo and it’s surprising good as a glass cannon. Not many things can switch into brave bird and CC from an adamant max attack Flamigo. 252 Adamant is enough to do 90% to Archaludon and if you do a double up you can realistically score a kill. It also has a 90% chance to OHKO Incin and a guaranteed OHKO on Rillaboom. It also outspeed Maushold so you can smack Maushold for free and easily dispatch Annihilape.
0:31 Hypno is my fav gen 1 psychic type. Of course not because of *STORY* , but because i found its design simple, evil and somehow cool. Moreover this *STORY* is only 1 very rare accident, others Hypnos does not steals kids. You can understand it from reading all pkdx entries, there's said "once there was accident with kid". Once. In doubles i tried to used it as a unfake outable bulky trick room setter, it did its job, sucks it can't hit a thing. And in random battles it is so annoying to fight against for my opponents, as i try to use it as effectively, as possible.
I just love the music choice when you introduced what Wolfe Glick brought to Baltimore Regionals this year, fitting for a bad-ass villain mastermind. Gen 9 Reg H has been a blast for VGC teambuilding, really happy to see a lot of starters get some viable niches (I finally got to use some of the bladebois Ceruledge, Samurott-H, and Gallade within different archetypes to decent success on Showdown!). Here's hoping it gets used a bit longer until next year (or at least have more limits to the pool of Legendaries/specials that are allowed).
I was so disappointed by Delphox back in the day because of its design, and it really should've been a fire fairy, but even I was so happy to see this as someone massively disappointed in the Pokemon at the time it came out. I like it more now, but it still looks a little too much like Fennekin with it's face to me.
I love using weird teams with weird movesets because they don’t even have to be that good-but so much of Pokémon VGC is prediction, and if your opponent has no idea wtf you’re doing, you can have the advantage and make it work.
Before reg H was released I predicted that Toedscruel would be a really good mon paired with weezing but the vgc peeps on Showdown legit said it was a stuoid combo which would never work.
Was on my honey moon during Baltimore (my home city), so I wasnt able to see what evereyone was using. I hopped on showdown just to get smacked by a bunch of copies of Wolffe's team and had no clue where the archetype came from
man ever since gen 8 gave Weezing it's signature ability Neutralizing Gas, that thing's been the only reason why mons with such horrendous abilities can actually be used in doubles (regigigas, slaking, archeops and toedscruel)
"Everyone comes to the same conclusion about what 6 pokemon are the best to use!" And shows the exact 6 i came to that conclusion for. I got embarrassed lmao
Hey I played like 250 games with Scyther on Showdown this last week 😅 Scyther is really strong into Rillaboom Sneasler Kingambit. It can OHKO all of those mons or force a tera, and after an Intimdate Rilla Sneasler need 3-4 hits to KO it! Don’t know if that’s why Vijay picked it, but I think that’s why he did so well with it
5:15 no! Eviolite doesn't multiply the base stat - even if it is close in a case with no defensive EVs, it's still *higher* than that in practice. See me after class.
Ceaseless edge is also boosted by sharpness and sets up spikes and although that's not as important in doubles why is it not better than night slash. I always viewed that as eliminating pokemon that need focus sash I guess it makes a little more sense cuz night slash is 100% accurate whereas ceaseless edge is 95% and 65 base power as opposed to 70 of night slash. At least both names are cool in Japanese thousand waves (definitely sounds like a samurais attack and also zygardes signature move) and crossroad killing
That's how I've always wanted competitive Pokémon to be. A place to use different starts with different Pokémon. Especially when we have 1k+ Pokémon to choose
I screamed when I saw Volbeat. It gave me trouble when I was younger with its Illumuse counterpart. Now it’s back to remind me of my troubles. Good for it. Volbeat is good but design :3
5:16 Can't believe this still needs to be said, but evio doesn't boost your base stat by 1.5, it boosts the raw stat. For an uninvested Scyther its defensive stats is equivalent to 130 base stat
My six are Skeledirge, Luxray, Umbreon, Ceruledge, Slowbro & Dragonite. It’s a steady enough team and I try to use their more Utilitarian moves rather than just spamming damage, sometimes you need to Chess it.
Shiftry @ Life Orb Ability: Wind Rider Level: 50 Tera Type: Normal EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Lonely Nature - Explosion - Leaf Blade - Sucker Punch - Protect I have been trying him in Pokemon showdown paired with whimsicott and talonflame as tailwind setters, and also having beat up on whimsicott so if he survives the explosion with his focus sash, then I'll have an anhiliphe with a huge rage fist and a pokemon still in the back. I use Life orb to have some other options if explosion doesn't work, like going for sucker punch against other ghost pokemons or just hitting hard with leaf blade
i was doing something similar for a bit but i gave my shiftry a focus sash so it could tailwind turn one and explode turn 2. it wasn't entirely working how i wanted so i might borrow this from you
ive actually really been enjoying hisuian samurott myself so far in regulation H its wide coverage offensively and water/dark typing is really nice currently. can run it offensively with sash, choice items or in my case you can run it bulkier with assault vest to make it surprisingly tanky.
This is what I love about Reg H. It gives the opportunity for Pokemon that would absolutely never have a chance in most formats an opportunity to shine and the results of Baltimore regionals really demonstrate. Here’s to more formats like Reg H in the future.
It’s weird how banning so many Pokémon led to a massive increase in unique Pokémon while the last time they banned the most used Pokémon the meta just found new best Pokémon
As a singles player, nightslash over ceaseless edge makes me want to cry. The one time I could see hazards incidentally making their way into vgc and it doesn’t happen. Ig it’s for accuracy, but I still think 12% on the last 2 Pokémon in exchange for a slight power decrease would be worth it.
I blame the flawed accuracy. In singles, Samurott could afford running inaccurate dualSTAB but not in the faster paced doubles where a miss would be more punishable. Razor Shell is also flawed but it’s insane power under rain + defense drop for physical attacking allies makes up for it

I blame the flawed accuracy. In singles, Samurott could afford running inaccurate dualSTAB but not in the faster paced doubles where a miss would be more punishable. Razor Shell is also flawed but it’s insane power under rain + defense drop for physical attacking allies makes up for it
