Love that there is increased viability of fun pokemon and dlc pokemon. I have really been enjoying flamigo and gallade personally, in addition to prim and hydreigon. You opened my eyes to the beauty of clefable and banded fast hisui arc
It's awesome to see so many Pokemon rising up, both gallade and flamingo are cool right now, glad I was ablento help you find some other cool mons to use :)
I've found some success with Chandelure. the set i'm running right now is Burning Jealousy, Fire Blast, Shadow Ball, Protect. It requires some help from tailwind, but it can blow massive holes in a team if it's allowed to start throwing out STAB fire blast. Burning Jealousy is a bit of a tech option for spread damage and punishing setup sweepers like dondozo or archaludon by leaving them with a burn, and shadow ball hits neutrally for most things fire blast can't. It's not as self-enabling as a lot of other threats, but with support from aurora veil Ninetales or Tailwind Whimsicott it can hold it's own in Reg H.
Some other things of note are how it matches up to other pokemon, it's flash fire ability can help shore up bad matchups into torkoal by providing an immunity from it's eruptions and powerful STAB attacks into it's chlorophyll partners. It's a very scary matchup for Gholdengo, considering it resists Make it Rain and can effortlessly KO it in return with a fire blast. It's got no real way to damage incineroar, so a partner that can throw out powerful water attacks to threaten incineroar is helpful.
I feel like Hisuan tyfloshion has the potential to win a world championship in this regulation. I used him to go all the way from rank 0 to master ball in a single week running regulation G with a miraidon set with ursaluna (B), wimsicot, incineroar and farigaraf. Now I’ve replaced that miraidon with a gholdengo and it’s been pretty good. Whimsicot boosts his speed + he uses scarf, and he is inmune to fake out, his main weakness would be sucker punch, which is terminated by switching in a farigaraf that can take any hit, heal up with sitrus berry and nullify the trick room of the oposite team or use ursaluna and farigaraf to benefit from the trick room after weakening the team with him.
I've got a habit to search for a Pokémon that is well suited for Assault Vest. (My requirements are good bulk, good attack or special attack, a good ability and most importantly a draining move with stab and finally a priority move.) I've chosen Annihilape for this task. So it gets the defiant ability, with Defense and attack maxed out and adamant nature. I've chosen the following attacks: Rage fist, Drain punch, Ice punch and Vacuum wave ( this last one is weird, because it's a special move with priority, but it helps with last push to win a battle if the opponent has a little Hp left over. For example the 1 HP of Focus Sash.) Because of it's bulk, it's really difficult to take it down and every move that hits Annihilape, makes Rage fist stronger. Thanks to Assault vest, can Bloodmoon Ursaluna lose with two drain punches. And Blood Moon does only 47% damage if it is a critical hit. And Incineroar is finished with one drain punch. Now I want to hear you're opinion on this Annihilape build? Is this a possible third build or just something weird? What counters do I need to watch out for?
Knock off would be a good counter, also need to watch out for fast strong mons. Basculegion under rain, choice band dragapult, opposing annihilapes all could give you big trouble since you don’t have protect.
@@masonoverton4063 Thanks for the advice! I thought knock off works against all Assault vest Pokémon, good luck it's special defense is still good. Indeed I haven't checked every Pokémon, but in doubles their is always a second Pokémon like Whimsicott or Maushold.
@@Darkbirt it’s natural defense isn’t good enough to withstand the strong physical attackers I just listed. The priority of vacuum wave and the coverage of ice punch aren’t worth the trade out of not having protect and bulk up. I would use different moves on an assault vest set, probably include uturn to help pivot
Honestly I had primarina on terapoison but now I changed it to tera steel. It gives the same resists to fairy and grass and bug , give immunity to poison, both have ground weakness. The Psychic weak that you would get from poison become a resist. You lose the resist to fight ( which become a weakness) and become weak to fire, but since primarina base type resist both it's unlikely to be targeted by fire or fight (on bo1 closed team sheets) And well in general steel offers much more resistances ( make it rain for example )
I feel like Staraptor is overlooked. Tailwind setter with Intimidate, Brave Bird and Close Combat hit like a truck with 120 base ATK. You can get some cheesy plays off on trick room teams with Endeavor + Focus Sash
It may not be the best, but I find Altaria to be SUPER underrated as an anti-weather pick. Cloud Nine does a great job at knocking the wind out of the sails of sun/rain teams. Switch it in against an Archaludon/Pelliper lead and it's practically a free turn of setup.
I've been playing around with Pelipper, Archaludon, Maushold, and Arcanine with Justified and it's been popping off. It actually counters other pelipper arch teams with close combat and wild charge and people even with open team sheets don't seem to recognize my Arcanine doesn't have Intimidate
I need help with my team, i run hyper offense and my team is Meowscarada - protein, choice band, tera grass Triple axel, knock off, flower trick, u-turn Sneasler - poison touch, focus sash, tera dark Protect, fake out, dire claw, close combat Garchomp - rough skin, clear amulet, tera steel Protect, earthquake, iron head, dragon claw Salamence - intimate, mirror herp, tera fire Dragon claw, temper flare, dual wingbeat, tailwind Primarina - liquid voice, throat spray, tera poison because i don't have enough for tera steel Hyper voice, moonblast, Protect, haze Farigiraf, armor tail, life orb, tera normal for now Hyper voice, psychic, thunderbolt, Protect I'm thinking of dropping salamence for hydreigon for a 3rd special attacker, but I lose a flying attack and intimate Im trying to build the team with Meowscarada, sneasler and Garchomp I win a lot in showdown but I need to know what I'm gonna struggle with and what to change
i’d check out scooteezy’s “let’s build a team around H decidueye” vid cause it shows some very good resources at helping you improve your team also, the main thing I’m noticing is the lack of switch initiative. You could pretty easily be put in a negative situation without much ability to switch out. idk what your ev spreads are, but making your farigiraf a bulkier mon could be nice. I’d 100% check out the google spread sheet from the aforementioned video cause it’s super helpful at figuring out what’s needs to be changed
Personally I'm seeing a lack of synergy, I don't hate sash sneasler, but I think it's best partner is rillaboom, it allows you to run grassy seed and can use it as a strong attacker. If there is 1-2 Pokemon in particular you're looking to build around, I'd check out some teams on limitless to see what they are putting around those same Pokemon. It might help
The bad thing about upper hand is that Decidueye is so slow that the fake out goes first most of the time from rillaboom. Incin sometimes too if theyre fast.
Nice list I was cooking with T-Flame and some of these earlier. Having a lot of fun with choice band Tera grass rillaboom as well. Able to OHKO a lot of TR setters with the hammer.
Just crushed a hydregien wishmacott meowscrada gholdengo with a scrafty hatterene and gallade ....i didn't even need my 4th 😂those mons aint scary😉 great segment boss lovin the content 🤙 cheers👍✌️
2 of those are weak to fighting... you had a clear advantage because you can bait the dark type move into gholdengo only to switch to meowscarada. You win that match up 3 out of 4 times. I'm so hyped Gallade is back
I’ve been building a trick room team with the mushroom, scizor, mimikyu, and bloodmoon. Could be strong. I put incin and goldengo as well. I feel like scizor is slept on
This team has been seriously crazy... tailwind on hydriegon and snealser unburden grassy seed, uturn fake out on rilla, and parting shot fake out on incineroar. It's insane
Also eject button on incineroar let's me hard switch palafin out, get hit with a not very affective move, use the eject button amd throw hero palafin back out with no damage and no extra turns... I also have protect on palafin
Feel free to take it and experiment, another good pick on the team is sinischta with hospitality. Also hydreigon is tera electric with scope lens. It ohkos galarian slowking with dark pulse and archaludon with earth power if it's not max spdef and hp.
It depends on the team, but I'm my specs ones recently I've been hitting 176 HP (optimal for lefties, and lives a incin know off) split 4 into each defensive stat max speed then dumb the rest in spatk with a modest nature
@@ScooteezyVGC personally the only thing I like about g is the fact we can get certain legendary 1 time per team after that is principally everytime the sames pokemon mostly 1 or 2 of these 3 pokemons (urshifu, landorus, tornadus) per team, there also incineroar, Rillaboom and some paradoxe. but they available multiple time per playthrough. Pokemon like urshifu (in sv) per exemple is available 1 time per playthrough after beating the game+the dlc+do BBQ. Landorus available 1 time per playthrough in legend arceus in the endgame and you can't check in game if he has a 0 Atk iv or he's in swsh in the dlc behind dynamax adventures so 10/15 min to capture him see if he has 0 Atk iv and restart the whole process if not.
My point is I find pokémon we can get only one time too difficult to get with the perfect iv if we need an 0 Atk or 0 speed Iv and some are overly too strong for the format (mostly urshifu the fact he can hit through protect is busted in vgc) so have legendary and mythical limited at 1 per team for me is the best in term of getting a stable meta still with room for creativity
It is a big waste, but some people have been running it on swamp teams with grass pledge, but there's plenty of good mons wasting stats, we are seeing a bunch of special salamence right now :)
I wanted to build a team with it since it’s one of my favorite mons! Might pair it with hisuian decidueye since it seems great against current meta mons. Been learning more watching your videos cheers!
@@Eonthemoon98 on gen8 i used it with politoed, so either with that or peliper and muddy water, draco meteor, hurricane and the last can be flash cannon or flip turn, i put it a life orb and it was devastating with a modest nature

Flutter down, FWG up, dragons are eating
I highly agree with everything. 2 Pokémon you should have talked about imo are murkrow and indeedee.
I definitely could have, I feel like there's so many mons I could talk about that are all really good, it's a great problem to have right now
Of course number 16 is eelektross, I know he is. (I’m inhaling lethal quantities of copium)
no weaknesses so he must be goated
I'll never understand why it has 50 speed and is a mixed attacker, they really cooked my guy
