Tbh that second battle was WILD. If I had a Tera water Urshifu ready to sweep, and got one-shot by a shiny, Tera water Emboar with GRASS KNOT, I'd just sit there w my jaw on the floor... then the swagger mirror herb and a sucker punch ohko on a regieleki.... yeah, I'd quit too LOLLLLL
The Honch is on a rampage! That second match made me realize that I haven’t seen you use your advanced battle-simulating TECHNOLOGY in awhile. Those always brighten my day
Honestly I think this epitomizes what a dark type should be. Swagger as a gamble between confusion and boosting the opponents attack. Mirror herb to "steal" that attack. Sucker punch and moxie to snowball the match.
Yeah they should give dark a status of some kind too. It would give them a bit more identity other than STAB knock off. Also swaggers not a gamble on special attackers just means they hurt themselves more and you could maybe use Foul play if you're built tanky.
They could easily create a few more variations on status we already have. We've had regular poison and toxic poison since gen 1 We still have regular para, burn, sleep, confusion, etc.
Honchkrow does also get Acrobatics for a slightly weaker but still VERY strong physical Flying type move option that unlike Brave Bird, doesn’t do recoil damage. Although it REQUIRES the usage of the Mirror Herb to get the boosted power.
So, let's say we have a Bibarel with Swords Dance or Curse and the Mirror Herb. Let's say we're in Doubles. Partner Pokemon goes for a Swagger on the opponent, triggers Bibarel's Mirror Herb, Bibarel uses Curse to cap out its Attack, spams Aqua Jet for the rest of the battle.
There are some who think Honchkrow is a joke, and there are others* who were affected by Giovanni’s Honchkrow in Radical Red (and are entitled to financial compensation). * It’s me, I’m “others”
It’s so funny that gamefreak puts absolutely 0 thought into a Pokémon’s weight and that it has actually been an applicable battle stat for generations now.
Thought it started out just as a 50 BP. Think the mechanic was introduced in Crystal. Ruby/Sapphire at the latest. Edit: Per the wiki, in Gens 1 and 2 it was a 50 BP with 90% accuracy and a 30% chance to flinch. It gained the effect in Gen 3.
@@CottidaeSEA Oh, maybe I just thought that because the only time you really use it is on Onix 😅, fighting types basically go in the bin after that. Mankey low kick clears at like level 6-7.
@@Joshwaheazo Primeape is pretty fun to use, but yeah, pretty useless gen 1. Slightly better in gen 2, but the only realistic option is Machop for the Normal, Steel and Ice gyms.
After your video with Grafaiai using this same swagger mirror herb strat, I took that and used it on Honchkrow! It's awesome and really catches people off guard in PU
These vids help me team build in my romhacks so much, as someone who craves harder pokemon but doesnt care for competitive I love these vids. I'll legit just search pokemon names in your channel to see if i can integrate a mon. Love it, MOAR.
This is wild, nobody had any answers at all. Your usual sweepers seem to need to swap out occasionally after setup but Honch literally killed everything, great video.
Every so often I crave a video (or 5) from the hilarious and legendary Mr. Dunn and I have to search the channel, but i didn't even have to go that far today! Thanks, sir. 🖤
love seeing these fun team comps. honchcrow and emboar were the stars of this vid, but i'm curious about how you built your komala. would love a video focused on that one day!
YUHS! Shout Out Thumbnail! And HONCHKROW! This is absolutely one of my favorite Pokemon and to see it going off like this was superb, thank you! I haven't EVER seen my own Honchkrow hit that high in Moxie-Boosts! Man that was awesome to see! Rly great matches & plays- makes me want to break out my own! Also, I agree with someone else in the comments x D That Ice Punch to the Lando was *chef's kisses*! Loved to see it- get it out of here! Oh! Day 2 of asking for a Zoroark showcase- either one! I know it isn't bottom tiered but hey, it's just a cool, mind trick Pokemon I'd love to see you pop off!
Please use Leavanny it's a great yet underutilized Mon, chlorophyll is a great ability with its already solid speed and using it as a revenge killer setup sweeper is so fun.
Thanks Haydunn for keeping battling interesting among all the heavy duty boots great tusks and choice specs gholdengos😅 Although those strats are fun too its nice to see something new at least
My favorite flying type line. I was lucky enough to find a shiny murkrow in the wild. Her name is Violet and she's my prized Hinchkrow. It's definitely an under rated mon. Not to mention it's stylish af too.
First time commenter long time watcher. I gotta say GAWD DAMN you went off in this video. Nice to see the true power of a Honchrow in the right hands. Keep it up man.
Maybe running acrobatics on it would mitigate some of the recoil, but it fared pretty Dang well. I was surprised when I decided to use a Honchcrow too. He is vicious.
Video idea for you: 1 Use a pink sleep setting pokemon (that ideally can trap). This will be Benadryl 2 Bring in a pokemon capable of sweeping (ideally black and/or with a hat [Honchkrow inspired this]) This will be the Hat Man. I don't think you've featured Mismagius or Haterene yet if you need inspiration to use them Great content as usual
Haydunn, still want that ariados video please lol. You keep making some fire vids with overlooked mons and I would love to see my boy put in some work too

That Dusknoir IcePunching Landorus healed a part of my soul
14:47 ragequit of the noob Urshifu and Regieleki fanboy was DELICIOUS.
Here, a Honchcrow fan 💜
Absolutely demolishing the kid with a 4 legendary team, you love to see it.
Fr love to see it I wish the video was 3 hours long
Dayum Honchkrow relax buddy, thats enough attack
Yeah, that surprised me
*Honchkrow's Moxie*
Read Honchkrow Pokedex info and you'll understand.
Lol
*THATS ENOUGH SLICES*
The Honch is on a rampage! That second match made me realize that I haven’t seen you use your advanced battle-simulating TECHNOLOGY in awhile. Those always brighten my day
i was thinking the same thing the other day
swagger + mirror herb is so funny
i just think it's a shame that scovillain doesn,t get foul play
It's like a nerfed Swords Dance that is already worse because it uses your item slot, and it has 90% accuracy, so it can even miss.
@@ChrisPTY507 Ya, that's part of why it's funny
I mean, it might have been okay before confusion chances got nerfed. This is really just a swords dance with extra steps and a liability

I hated the meta when prankster Murkrow was on every team, it's about time we showed some love to the most stylish bird out there.
That Emboar had no right to just come in and steal the whole episode
Well. I could have had a thousand guesses how you’d deal with Urshifu and still not guessed Water-Bulb Boar 😂
With a grass move 😭
1:00 A moment to appreciate the genius that is Cyclopath
Lmaooo mirror herbing a tidy up and then you end up doing the sweeping is ridiculous 🧹🧹🧹🧹
Screw Honchcrow, that play with Water pig and the absorb bulb was absolutely goated. 🔥
Wow that turn with the mouse was perfect, sucker punch & get the kill or sucker punch, fail, but get the tidy up stats
Never thought to see the synergy between sucker & mirror herb, it’s a win win turn
The swagger, mirror herb, sucker punch play is why I love your content. Great play.
So, let's say we have a Bibarel with Swords Dance or Curse and the Mirror Herb. Let's say we're in Doubles. Partner Pokemon goes for a Swagger on the opponent, triggers Bibarel's Mirror Herb, Bibarel uses Curse to cap out its Attack, spams Aqua Jet for the rest of the battle.

Battle Revolution was so awesome! Such good quality animations.
Been loving a lot of the unusual inspired sets lately but this is a fave, mostly because it's so sneaky, thinking like a dark type!
It’s so funny that gamefreak puts absolutely 0 thought into a Pokémon’s weight and that it has actually been an applicable battle stat for generations now.
Think low kick still had the battle mech in gen 1. So forever basically.
Thought it started out just as a 50 BP. Think the mechanic was introduced in Crystal. Ruby/Sapphire at the latest.

not even gonna lie, I think this might be my favorite thumbnail so far
only the sauciest pic for the sauciest bird

This is wild, nobody had any answers at all. Your usual sweepers seem to need to swap out occasionally after setup but Honch literally killed everything, great video.
Now you've inspired me to use that same honchkrow build! Criminally underrated pokemon
12:39 Avatar State was sick, only thing that would've made it better would be if Tailwind was up somehow. Maybe a video idea?
The first match was straight up disrespectful lol
Roundabout SD Honchkrow? Nice nice, but that Emboar though...that was a mess. A good mess mind you lol.
Every so often I crave a video (or 5) from the hilarious and legendary Mr. Dunn and I have to search the channel, but i didn't even have to go that far today! Thanks, sir. 🖤
Fire pig come in, Fire pig becomes water pig. Water pig uses grass.
Just a fun and funny sequence.
Damn thats the same set I run with the Boss bird (except I use acrobatics over Brave Bird). Awesome content as always 👍
Please make another video with our underrated electric dude Electivire. 🙏🏼
This reminds me of the time i used to run swagger psych up sweeper honchkrow. Thank you for the nostalgia
I fell in love INSTANTLY with this thing right after I saw it the first time in like 2007
Honchkrow is one of my favorite bird type. Glad you can make it work lol. I was running a Swagger/Protect/Suckerpunch/Roost set on it back in the day.
I was running Honchcrow with Trick room, but this build is a lot more streamlined, love it! Thanks for the upload
Insane second battle with the saltiest, yet most pleasant ending ever! Great vid as always man!
Yaaah, muh boi. My favorite flying type.
I really enjoyed this. I'm on an 11 hour journey right now, so I'm pleased you uploaded today.
love seeing these fun team comps. honchcrow and emboar were the stars of this vid, but i'm curious about how you built your komala. would love a video focused on that one day!
I love Honchkrow, I used one in my diamond playthrough. Feels good to see it be actually good, that first game sweep was delicious.
Good lord, those are some of the most complete sweeps I’ve ever seen 😱 birb pimp ain’t jokin’ around
That emboar was clutch! The water tera looks perfect with its shiny the moveset is the cherry on top 😂

Always look forward to these videos. It’s nice watching while I’m on my break
This makes me soooo happy honchkrow has always been a fav
Please use Leavanny it's a great yet underutilized Mon, chlorophyll is a great ability with its already solid speed and using it as a revenge killer setup sweeper is so fun.
Aw man that clip at the beginning of the vid made me think, a battle done in PBR would go _insane_
Avatar Emboar is dope, too. best part is he is beating urhsifu which seems more like an avatar pokemon
Man, you made Honchkrow look like a force of nature 🎉
registeel being less than 500lbs is insane, dude gotta be hollow as shit
It is hollow according to the dex
Thanks Haydunn for keeping battling interesting among all the heavy duty boots great tusks and choice specs gholdengos😅
Although those strats are fun too its nice to see something new at least
Loving the longer videos!!!
Wow. Some devastating games here with Honchkrow. Thanks!
My favorite flying type line. I was lucky enough to find a shiny murkrow in the wild. Her name is Violet and she's my prized Hinchkrow. It's definitely an under rated mon. Not to mention it's stylish af too.
honchkrow always reminded me of the witch of the waste from howl’s moving castle
I'm going to have to use Honchkrow again cause it's been a hot minute since I thought about this mon. He really put in the work this video too!
What a perfect way to start my day ❤
haydunn are a legend, he can win with 1 paradox pokemon versus a guy with a team with legendary
First time commenter long time watcher. I gotta say GAWD DAMN you went off in this video. Nice to see the true power of a Honchrow in the right hands. Keep it up man.
Thanks haydunn for these 3 fight videos 👍🏿
these matches were actually insaneee
Mirror herb crow is kinda crazy.
The salt on that second match was wild. Homie really strolling up with hard Meta and just quit to a pink/purple bird. lmao
Im loving the salty rage quits 😂😂
Any time the team has anything stronger than a plusle : 'pretty scary team we are looking at here, some big threats'
Emboar being the avatar is so on point looolz
This all wins Honchkrow video is genuinely so peak
Always happy to see you in my feed
That fainting animation was amazing!
Spongebob deep dive naming the Dragalage 'Mystery'
Man that first battle was an insane sweep.
Missed opportunity saying Fire Pig instead of Wash Hog
That Emboar water Tera was mad clutch!
Thumbs up, it was cool seen it in action and how quickly it snowballed, game 2 was funny
We love a Pimpkrow pop-off
Maybe running acrobatics on it would mitigate some of the recoil, but it fared pretty Dang well. I was surprised when I decided to use a Honchcrow too. He is vicious.
Video idea for you:
1 Use a pink sleep setting pokemon (that ideally can trap). This will be Benadryl
2 Bring in a pokemon capable of sweeping (ideally black and/or with a hat [Honchkrow inspired this]) This will be the Hat Man. I don't think you've featured Mismagius or Haterene yet if you need inspiration to use them
Great content as usual
Bro! If you can make an opponent ragequit with a ditto, you got yourself a lifetime subscriber here. ❤️
Haydunn, still want that ariados video please lol. You keep making some fire vids with overlooked mons and I would love to see my boy put in some work too
"a doorknob" ...... I hate you 😞, now I can't unsee it 💀
In Gen 4 i liked it’s physically based mixed set Brave/Sucker/Heatwave/roost with life orb and I think a naughty or hasty nature.
Super power was also useful to smoke ttar and heatran
I love honchkrow, it will forever be the best spy bird in the world
Honchcrow making dudes rage quit in 2024 is insane, I never thought I would say that 🤣🤣😭😭
One of my all time fab Pokemon birds. It deserved a bit more speed and a LOT more bulk imo. Especially as head honcho.
Ggz Haydunn
Good to see the honch still sending people to sleep with the fishes even in gen 9
as soon as I saw the thumbnail I thought "ooohh thats clever" xD
lmao that 2nd player was a real tryhard using legendaries and top meta mons 😂😂 he was so heated when u took out that regelecki
Missed opportunity to name that shiny Honchkrow 'Slickback'.
that's what I always name mine
Been done
I’ve been using a choice scarf/ max attk/speed super luck set and it has clutched me several times. Honchkrow is very underrated imo.
Yes I agree. Bring back that fainting animation
That Emboar totally stole the Krow's show 🤣
I knew honchcrow had some swagger as a mob boss but this is ridiculous
Dealing with that Urshifu was brilliant 😂
