I think the Spectrier in the second battle thought Ho-Oh was special, probably got confused when it still OHKOd after all the snarl drops and rage quit when they saw it was physical lol
Yeah I think that might have been the case. Or they were worried about doing damage to their own Solgaleo with Bulldoze when they know it would take a big hit from Ho-Oh? idk, Shadow Ball was probably a better play but it still wouldn't have saved them
@@foofootoo I used one a lot back when Charizard was a huge part of the meta. Heliolisk having the same ability, type advantage and higher speed made it a great counter.
My favourite part of this whole video was just Foo being so nice to Cherrim - the little guys work so hard for us trainers, it's nice to see them get the appreciation
I'm generally not interested in using restricted mons, but seeing people use creative teams around them makes me wonder if the meta isn't bad with them in. Maybe its just different
It’s not as bad as you’d think, it might be a bit annoying but many of the series 7 mons are definitely viable along side your favorite restricted mon :)
I tend to agree about restricted formats, especially now you're only allowed one. This means games are very match-up based. But I think that is where the fun in teambuilding comes too - trying to find the niche picks that turn those bad match-ups into good ones [:
This series is pretty different from previous formats when you were allowed 2 restricted mons, now with only 1 you see lots of teams built around some key mons (not always just the restricted) which are pretty interesting.
One of the few gen 2 good ones Who the fuck designs these things. It was proven It wasnt random wasnt it? Even so, gf changed a handful of shinies already, why not others
Nice! I've always wanted to see a Cherim put to good use in Sun-based teams, and the stat boosts from Flower Gift compliment Ho-oh so well! Also, nice play on using sunny day on the same turn the Dynamaxed Kyogre used Max Geyser knowing it would go first! You were thinking one step ahead! ^^
Ho-Oh destroying Kyogre reminds me of when WeedleTwineedle played Toxapex and it got OHKOed by Flower Gift and Sun boosted Z-Flare Blitz from Ninetiles.
That battle that ended in a lose made me think "huh.. another poke'tuber posting a loss. Weedle just did that, props" then foo stating weedle getting on him about just that. "ah.. I see now" xD
Foofootoo you’re a hero in the Pokémon community for making ho-oh slay king kyogre this way, seriously this was beautifully done, respectfully done, and you took kyogre out last while kartana just looked thinking “oh shit.” That was glory, thank you so much for this video showing off Ho-oh flexing its special defense and beautiful shiny form
@@foofootoo lmao keep doing what you’re doing, you come off as a clever underdog sort of player in this game and I’m happy to watch whatever you put on this channel. Honestly, I love watching your videos of Pokémon I haven’t even liked in the past whatsoever, you give them love and respect and do what is supposed to be done in the game, you make what you see viable and strong with love and technique, I’m glad you’ve made this RUclips. Truly I am, thank you for taking the time to respond too as I know you must be very busy often. I hope you and your loved ones have been healthy and happy, you make my RUclips and plenty of other peoples brighter and warmer, making it easier for us to go about our times, no matter where we’re at or may be, physically, emotionally, I can count on you to give wonderful content showing love to some less loved Pokémon. Thank you Foofootoo, and again I hope you’re doing well
Omg you always make such great sets and teams and I love Ho-oh, this is so hype to see! Also the snarl in g2 shows how painfully few people have even the faintest idea of what Ho-oh is about XD can’t blame this person, seems to be a general trend, but still...
I love Whimsicott and Cherrim and what they can provide in terms of doubles support so seeing them both be very integral to the team just feels so good.
I really like the whole restriction thing. It brings the battle style more in line with TCG games where you have a few win-cons that you focus on rather than "attempt to cover everything"
It's pretty decent for unsuspecting victims. It does struggle with Landorus, and maybe a more offensive Tapu Fini would help with that. Also, it doesn't have a fantastic answer to Trick Room outside of Calm Mind bulk with Fini or just hoping Ho-Oh can tank hits. But I think those things could be improved with some tweaks [:
Seeing a Kyogre team getting absolutely curb stomped like this is delicious! Great team! One question though. How does this deal against Rotom? I feel like it would give this team a generally hard time...
Thanks! The team is generally very specially bulky. Tapu Fini has pretty much max HP max SpD, so can take a hit a deal good damage back. Ho-Oh can also take electric hits well when dynamaxed, especially with the Flower Gift special defense boost. If you have sun up, Flower Gift boost and Helping Hand boost, Max Flare can OHKO a max HP Rotom Heat. If Weakness Policy is activated, you can OHKO a Max HP Rotom Heat even when dynamaxed! You can see Tapu Fini dealing with a Rotom in the last battle.
@@foofootoo I haven't used Ho-Oh in gen 8 yet, but in Gen 7, I used Ho-Oh as a hit and run assassin a lot (better have good spin support). Switch in, scarf Brave Bird something, switch out and recover.
Cherrum has been working overtime with Ho-Oh and Groudon running about. Props to WeedleTwinneedle for the team and you for showing it off. With Regieleki running around, how about experimenting with Soak?
I used a grassy terrain sunny day team set up with my Cherrium and Gallade. It’s attack and sp def gets boosted to absurd levels, it’s solar blade is ridiculously powerful and drain punch keeps it going indefinitely
Solgaleo has turned out to be quite popular, and this team was pretty strongly built. But the Spectrier/Solgaleo combo has been quite predictable when I've faced it, and the Ho-Oh match up is generally good as long as you can avoid the Max Rockfall!
@@foofootoo I’m just really biased lol I guess it’s because my teams usually revolve around weather that I find myself using a lot of otherwise unviable ‘mons. That’s why I appreciate seeing Whimsicott and Cherrim on your team that game. I feel it takes more thought during team crafting but so satisfying and rewarding when you pull it off.
I was just wondering the other day when the next off-meta super meme team would drop and why it seemed like it was taking a while. Little did I know we'd get a 30min long exposition on tactical nuke Ho-Oh 😂
Well it's easy to say a weakness policy of one of its ultra forms sounds nice. Maybe earthquake or brutal swing. Since it resists super effective moves.
Necrozma's Dusk Mane form (merged with Solgaleo) is very strong! I made a team with this set: Necrozma-Dusk-Mane @ Life Orb Ability: Prism Armor EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD Brave Nature - Psychic Fangs - Sunsteel Strike - Earthquake - Trick Room I paired it with Psychic Surge Indeedee with Follow Me to help it set up Trick Room and to power up its Psychic Fangs damage [:
@@bigmonke3348 Although Photon Geyser itself switches category for you, Max Mindstorm from Photon Geyser is always a Special move, which isn't helpful for Necrozma-Dusk-Mane.
I'm so confused about the spectrier that we all assumed was locked into snarl but was focus sash... definition of doing the same thing and expecting a different result. 😂
@@foofootoo I managed to get shiny Groudon and Giratina on Pokemon Go but I haven’t found Giratina on Sword yet so I can’t transfer it. At least I don’t have to shiny hunt them though.
Groudon with Barraskewda, flip turn into the Groudon, and then go in to Cherrim is a very lethal combo. Though I really like how this team utilizes Cherrim as well. A criminally underrated mon
That'd do too much damage, I'd rather use scarf timid milotic. You can use it to abuse intimidaters and muddy water/ice beam or just flip turn into your partner.
Starmie is also a Flip Turn option with screens and Icy Wind support. I like that idea, but Groudon can struggle with speed control whereas Ho-Oh at least gets Airstream. Also, most opponents don't expect the manual sunny day which really helps!
@@foofootoo Very true. I typically run my Groudon on that team as a bulky sweeper. However, I do really like regenerator on Ho-Oh. I'm currently testing an Alolawak Cherrim team, and I honestly enjoy that too. There's just a lot you can do with this. I also like Chlorophyll Leafeon with the Cherrim too. Hhh, so many ideas. I think I'm gonna try the Ho-Oh team though. It's very interesting and lethal. Didn't realize how thicc Ho-Oh is
@@bigmonke3348 I've ran it before, and if you run a bulky Groudon, it does very little damage to it. It does have its flaws though. Some teams are hard to work around. It's still pretty fun though
Zygard and tapu bulu nature's madness on the Zygard Fort turn and coil with Zygard then start spamming thousand arrows also if it works idk if it will nature's madness will activate a weekness polacy
Love the team, will try it out when I get the chance. I got a shiny lugia from max lair dens the other day out of nowhere so I’m trying to build a team around lugia. Lugia and Ho oh are underrated compared to the other legendaries being used at the moment
Nice team! Have you considered Surf on Heliolisk? Without the STAB, it's weaker than Parabolic Charge and especially in the sun, your Ho-Oh will take way less damage from a Surf from that Heliolisk, it does less than twice the damage that Parabolic Charge would do.
Yes I have - I wanted to try Parabolic Charge because it is never seen, and spread electric damage can be helpful against some of the common water and flying threats atm. Overall, Surf is probably a better option - it gives you another way to hit Landorus which the team can struggle with and does less damage to Ho-Oh in sun, but for content, Parabolic Charge is slightly more stylish xD
Yes I forgot to use an Ability Patch when I first tried the team xD it now has Regenerator. But in testing, Regenerator turned out to be not so useful, especially on this team when I dynamax Ho-Oh most of the time so I don't switch it out. Pressure can actually be useful for stalling out common low PP move in the meta like Behemoth Blade and Water Spout.
I assume that in the Solgaleo match, they assumed that Ho-Oh is a special attacker - I've definitely seen that specific team, due to the Dive Ball Solgaleo, and generally people using rental teams uh don't know what they're doing speaking from experience, due to using Nidoking and people always hitting it with Will-O-Wisp and I'm just like "Yeah, ok, the damage over time kinda sucks but this is fine"
It can work, but it's trickier to get speed control. The fact that Ho-Oh gets Airstream is preferrable on this build imo, but Cherrim could definitely work with Groudon. This team also has more surprise factor because there are no Drought Pokemon so the opponent may not expect Sunny Day
I see, speed control would be a little bit trickier because tailwind is just not enough... but maybe the rough power of groundon would be more than enough imo, but no matter what this team is amazing, thanks for this great content!
Good video and very nice team. But what about you put Voltswitch onto the Heliolisk. In that one turn instead of thunderbolting the amoonguss you could have used volt switch into the cherrim. Maybe you would have taken out the zapdos or you survived that hit easier. But great strategy nonetheless.
Heliolisk is meant to be an offensive option so I do want a high power Thunderbolt to do as much damage as possible. Volt Switch could be helpful for getting into Cherrim and I think it could work if I changed the Heliolisk to be more supportive, maybe with Eerie Impulse or Thunder Wave
@@foofootoo thank you for the quick answer. And I know what you mean but I think Voltswitch would deal a lot of damage too, considering the life Orb and the solar power boosts. But really great team I love such creative teams.
Just saying, Flareon can replace Ho-Oh, they have the same attack stat, and Flareon also has Guts, so it can boost its attack further if it has a status condition.
This is true, though Flareon is quite a bit slower and can't boost its speed with Max Airstream like Ho-Oh can. Still, if you're not fighting big, scary legendary pokemon, Flareon could be a fun substitution
Opponent: We have A water type
Foofoo: And we have a Cherum
No chance [:

Ah yes, my favorite pokemon, *C h e r u m*
It's cherrim :)
I think the Spectrier in the second battle thought Ho-Oh was special, probably got confused when it still OHKOd after all the snarl drops and rage quit when they saw it was physical lol
Yeah I think that might have been the case. Or they were worried about doing damage to their own Solgaleo with Bulldoze when they know it would take a big hit from Ho-Oh? idk, Shadow Ball was probably a better play but it still wouldn't have saved them
That was pretty much the exact reason why I enjoyed phsyical kingdra a few seasons ago. Most of the people I faced actually didn't expect it.
Ho-oh is normally physical though but idk
Then they dumb everyone knows Ho-oh is more physical
It is misleading, it looks like a special attacker
Cherrim said queens support other queens
Flower Gift for everyone!

It’s not as bad as you’d think, it might be a bit annoying but many of the series 7 mons are definitely viable along side your favorite restricted mon :)
You're a bit forced to use meta mons even if they're not legendaries because literally everything nukes rn. The sub legendaries and the legendaries.

I was shiny hunting for ho-oh a tiny bit in dynamax adventures, but I ended up getting a shiny cherrim, so this pairing is pretty cool to see
Oh wow that's cool! They are a really good pairing
Nice team! Have you considered Surf on Heliolisk? Without the STAB, it's weaker than Parabolic Charge and especially in the sun, your Ho-Oh will take way less damage from a Surf from that Heliolisk, it does less than twice the damage that Parabolic Charge would do.
Yes I have - I wanted to try Parabolic Charge because it is never seen, and spread electric damage can be helpful against some of the common water and flying threats atm. Overall, Surf is probably a better option - it gives you another way to hit Landorus which the team can struggle with and does less damage to Ho-Oh in sun, but for content, Parabolic Charge is slightly more stylish xD
I love Ho-Oh! Yay! Thanks, Foo :)
No problem!
Maybe can you make a regice team. I think that the high SpD could do some snazzy stuff
I think the best time to do that would have been before the restricted Pokemon were allowed. Regice will not do well against Zacian xD
Look at hoho's wings he really looks cute in the camp
I love when they have completely different poses in camp
@@foofootoo yeah right ! I love that they made the pokemon so alive in the camp !
Ho-oh just sitting there like....so yea I'm not legendary or anything......right I'm out.
12:11 it says ho oh has regenerator but 13:49 he has pressure hmmmm
Yes I forgot to use an Ability Patch when I first tried the team xD it now has Regenerator. But in testing, Regenerator turned out to be not so useful, especially on this team when I dynamax Ho-Oh most of the time so I don't switch it out. Pressure can actually be useful for stalling out common low PP move in the meta like Behemoth Blade and Water Spout.
Surf on Heliolisk during sun?
I have been looking for cherrim team hehehe thank yiu!
No problem!
Hahahah I've never seen heliokisk running lmao , nice core btw Im know seeing it so much usage in showdown
I assume that in the Solgaleo match, they assumed that Ho-Oh is a special attacker - I've definitely seen that specific team, due to the Dive Ball Solgaleo, and generally people using rental teams uh
don't know what they're doing
speaking from experience, due to using Nidoking and people always hitting it with Will-O-Wisp and I'm just like "Yeah, ok, the damage over time kinda sucks but this is fine"
what about doing this with groudon? the sun is there and cherim can use some weak plant atack to activate WP on groudon
It can work, but it's trickier to get speed control. The fact that Ho-Oh gets Airstream is preferrable on this build imo, but Cherrim could definitely work with Groudon. This team also has more surprise factor because there are no Drought Pokemon so the opponent may not expect Sunny Day
I see, speed control would be a little bit trickier because tailwind is just not enough... but maybe the rough power of groundon would be more than enough imo, but no matter what this team is amazing, thanks for this great content!
I have a shiny Ho-Oh and i decided to name it Fana after the character from Black Clover.
Neat!
Foo i got a question, what do you do when a physical rock type move flys at u
Good video and very nice team. But what about you put Voltswitch onto the Heliolisk. In that one turn instead of thunderbolting the amoonguss you could have used volt switch into the cherrim. Maybe you would have taken out the zapdos or you survived that hit easier. But great strategy nonetheless.
Heliolisk is meant to be an offensive option so I do want a high power Thunderbolt to do as much damage as possible. Volt Switch could be helpful for getting into Cherrim and I think it could work if I changed the Heliolisk to be more supportive, maybe with Eerie Impulse or Thunder Wave
@@foofootoo thank you for the quick answer. And I know what you mean but I think Voltswitch would deal a lot of damage too, considering the life Orb and the solar power boosts. But really great team I love such creative teams.
Finally someone who loves Cherrim in her Overcast form. Here's your like sir Foofootoo
very nice tech... I was building a ho-oh team and I didn't know how to counter kyogre properly... noww I know how :)
lol I just read the description haha.
What if we had like, a montage or loop of helioisk just running. I may sound high right now saying this put it is late at night for me.
Is this team on pokepaste? I wanna use it (all the evs and movesets).
Added the link to the description
@@foofootoo thanks (👍° ∀ °)👍
Just saying, Flareon can replace Ho-Oh, they have the same attack stat, and Flareon also has Guts, so it can boost its attack further if it has a status condition.
This is true, though Flareon is quite a bit slower and can't boost its speed with Max Airstream like Ho-Oh can. Still, if you're not fighting big, scary legendary pokemon, Flareon could be a fun substitution
