I stil don't see why Dan wouldn't just go with sunny day weakness policy then he'd of Guarenteed a kill, sunny day is so much better against bulky mons than Power herb
Ayy nice and 2-0, congrats Joey :] Much like Chimp in the GBA, I just love how meticulously you were able to play in this game, always going for your best possible play and not letting Adrive have any sort of advantage. Let's hope you can keep this going :] #BronxBeartics
I'm actually watching this and Dan's side simultaneously turn by turn... and what a great battle! So many high level predictions and plays in this game! That's real entertainment, guys! Thank you both :)
Incredible match to watch Joey! Brilliant job executing your game plan; I loved the safe switch to Alo instead of risking the crit on Hard Body, and how well you played in general. GGs all around!
Good match, dude. Chaotic in the beginning but you really pulled it together and glad you won. Do you get nervous when you play UCL? I get nervous when you play UCL
If that T-Tar survived rocks and got a wish passed to it... Joey was in huge trouble, he would have had to play a lot differently. aDrive needed to keep it up above 12.5% to have a chance.
Joey you played great! Defineatly a fun match to watch. The start was kinda scary bc Beatdown just got sacked but you played patiently. Scouting every sets possible like the power herb Delphox etc is amazing. Nothing much to say i admire you lol. ggwp. Lets go Bronx Beartics!!
Amazing how you outplayed Dan the entire game! GG, Joey! He never stood a chance at all. But as he is a good battler by himself, i`m sure he will bounce back. Maybe we get another Finale Joey vs. Dan.
Lol watched both matches at the same time and it was super cool seeing you guys try to predict and out think the other player. Amazing match and gl to both in the finals :]
Well played Joey! Good to see your teambuilding coming through. Also that set prediction for the Delphox from your teambuilding video was on point. Hope you guys can play again in the finals; watch out for Cofagrius and Excadrill :]
The conditioning for the Heavy Slam on the incoming Tyranitar and the scouting for Solar Beam are the reasons I love watching Joey battle, accounts for everything.
Woulda been so funny if Dan actually predicted that and went for something stupid like Fire Blast first. I mean, more obvious than the Solarbeam was the Protect of Alomomola
Joey handled this game masterfully. I think this match shows not only how great of a battler he is (never was any doubt anyway) but also how strong his draft was.
That healing wish at 45:00, Reuniclus moved so fast afterwards! I keep forgetting how the original sprite of Reuniclus moves since in all the UCL games it is so busy absorbing status. And yes it immediately gets burned after hitting the field again xD. The bulk is so real, the opposing teams need very strong mons taking care of at least 4 tanks a game..
UU mons doing the most work! Nice, very well played in this battle. I'm sure you know this by now but you actually got a near-max roll on Heracross, I think you did about 80%: 44+ Atk Mega Aggron Heavy Slam (120 BP) vs. 236 HP / 0 Def Heracross: 249-294 (69.1 - 81.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO aDrive was running a ton of bulk on his Heracross. 236 HP EVs. I think the reason is that you don't have many mons with middling speed-- they're either pretty slow and won't run speed (like Alomomola and Tangrowth), or they have base 95 speed or higher (as is the case with all of your offensive mons). Garbodor is the only mon that he could realistically outspeed by investing in speed, which I think is why he went so bulky. Future opponents are likely to do the same thing-- with mons that have around base 70-90 speed, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for them to max speed, so they'll probably invest heavily in HP. Just something to keep in mind.
Yeah, that's why his draft strategy worked out really well-- he got RU pokes like Tangrowth and Alomomola that can still wall lots of OU threats, and even have OU-tier abilities (Regenerator). And he went offense with his OU picks since that's where all the best offensive mons are found, more so than with defensive mons.
+drunyon214 Yup, and because of the bulk of his offensive mons, Alomomola is perfect for this team because he can wish-pass to them and regen itself. Superb synergy between Alomomola and Mega Aggron. Love this draft.
HARD BODYYYYY !!! :] awesome game man I would consider Dan one of the best players in this league and aside from turn 1 with the pursuit trap(which was a hard read) I think you played almost flawless. Let's go beartics !
Great battle holy shit, you played amazingly! When you win even though you sacked your CB Kyurem-B Turn 3 when your opponent has no Dragon resist, you know you played well.
Dang you just 4-0d the second best battler in the league with 3 pokemon. Well played! Feel bad for Dan though, I bet he really counted on that banded Ttar to be his Reuniclus counter. That pokemon is just a monster when you cant deal with it. Acid armour was a genius pick for him this game.
While Vaporeon is a good member on most teams I feel like he severely crippled his ability to make the most of the roar by not having hazards, especially considering Joey's lack of hazard control. It could have applied a lot more pressure. Also sand stream T-tar was arguably detrimental to his team due to the lack of excadril and the addition of Synthesis M-Venasaur. Granted I know this is backseat gaming and hind sight is 20/20 as they say, but I feel like this games outcome was more heavily influenced in the team building stage than the actual battle. Great game played on both sides, and props to A-Drive for making the most of what he had and staying around like a trooper until the end. Keep up the good work Joey, this is awesome to watch and I'm excited to see what happens next week! #BronxBeartics
tbh I think that everyone would have preferred that toxic to hit, joey wouldn't have had to play so stally and the match would have been over much quicker. to bad we didn't get to see that godly garchomp set :(
if we really evaluate this battle Joey beat Dan with simply 3 Pokémon. Hard Body, PANZER, and Whitley. Strong Jaw never touched the field, sacked Beatdown early and BEARTICS was really just used for the hell of it. Amazing battle! Rocks really put so much pressure on his team especially since he had no way to remove them.
This was a really well played game joey on that 2014 wcop mindset expect reuniclus instead of mew putting in major work gotta give credit to dan as well he played exceptional just what I expect from a GBA champion we taking the title again bro Really enjoyed watching this battle [:
Dying at all the fake comments about getting freeze hacked again XD so funny. Keep up the work boi. I rarely comment and never use my twitter but I been here since pretty much day one and haven't taken a break from watching your vids since. Let's go get this 3-peat (if you include UCL LC) championship right quick!
Fake comments? Dan's Delphox froze Reuniclus in turn seventeen. With that monster out of the way, Dan dragon danced with Salamence and swept Joey like dust into a trash can. Were you watching a different match or are you just trolling?
GG man! See you in the finals!
Lol
Lmao
rofl
Sure, Adrive, Sure.
More like my boy Mogwai and Joel
vid only been up for 1 min, but really good vid man dropped a like for sure for sure
i watched the whole video
Blunder not being mad? Must be an imposter.
DAD!1!1!!1!1!1!1!1!1!!1!1!1!1!!1!1
That pro protect with Whitley vs Delphox was sick
yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol I knew this would be a quick game
Joey should make a video explaining where all his in-jokes come from, like "delfox the gawd" and all the cypher quotes
+Emisu Mantovani na it was around way before.
djicebling yeah i thought so, i remember hearing them say it in the nuzlocke but it seems like it was something they knew about from before
***** thanks fren :] lets hope he does this
+CreamyGoodness isn't that the point of in jokes? not everyone needs to know everything.
Joey is a beast for predicting that power herb solar beam
It was pretty obvious tbh and he even said so in his team builder
I thought he was joking when he said that in his team builder lmao
+Ryan Murphy lol the games are played before team building vids are uploaded so nah
I stil don't see why Dan wouldn't just go with sunny day weakness policy then he'd of Guarenteed a kill, sunny day is so much better against bulky mons than Power herb
protect was the safest move anyway to ensure delph died to sand + waterfall
Ayy nice and 2-0, congrats Joey :] Much like Chimp in the GBA, I just love how meticulously you were able to play in this game, always going for your best possible play and not letting Adrive have any sort of advantage. Let's hope you can keep this going :] #BronxBeartics
I'm actually watching this and Dan's side simultaneously turn by turn... and what a great battle! So many high level predictions and plays in this game!
That's real entertainment, guys! Thank you both :)
Incredible match to watch Joey! Brilliant job executing your game plan; I loved the safe switch to Alo instead of risking the crit on Hard Body, and how well you played in general. GGs all around!
Thanks PokeaimMD. This battle was educational, my roommates and I went nuts on the Alamamola "Protect" vs Delphox. Pure Genius Sir!
Good match, dude. Chaotic in the beginning but you really pulled it together and glad you won.
Do you get nervous when you play UCL? I get nervous when you play UCL
thanks fren haha and nah i try to have fun lol
+pokeaimMD I was nervous through that match. I kept thinking "If that Tyranitar survives rocks and gets a wish passed to it oh no!!!"
If that T-Tar survived rocks and got a wish passed to it... Joey was in huge trouble, he would have had to play a lot differently. aDrive needed to keep it up above 12.5% to have a chance.
Sry that ice beam froze you. GG hope you win next week.
So tired of freeze hax :[
.
.
.
:]
Ikr again lol
If you watched Dan's perspective, he says somewhere 'I brought ice punch just in case I need to freeze something late game' LMAO
+Joep Lenting be fair, Dan is straight savage at times.
Joey you played great! Defineatly a fun match to watch. The start was kinda scary bc Beatdown just got sacked but you played patiently. Scouting every sets possible like the power herb Delphox etc is amazing. Nothing much to say i admire you lol. ggwp. Lets go Bronx Beartics!!
Also i love it how you explain the mindset. Keep it up bro :]
I love your profile picture
This whole match was Joey's bulky ass pokemon eating hits.

Purest savagery.
LOOOL
That solar beam predict on Alomomola was the nicest play ever ! Man, feels so good to see ma boy Joey destroying games xD
This is my boy Joey. He came out of my eyebrows, so proud.
Ayy nice W on my birthday! Hard Body and der panzer putting in the finest of work! Good stuff man :]
Awesome battle, couldn't expect anything else from the two of you. GG!
Amazing how you outplayed Dan the entire game! GG, Joey!
He never stood a chance at all. But as he is a good battler by himself, i`m sure he will bounce back. Maybe we get another Finale Joey vs. Dan.
I was so scared when I compared your team to his, but you still managed to win. Joey, you are a boss
I ate a clock once.
and it was...
Time Consuming.
Amazing battle Joey! Congrats on the win, hopefully you can go Undefeated this season! Best of luck in the rest of the season!
Lol watched both matches at the same time and it was super cool seeing you guys try to predict and out think the other player. Amazing match and gl to both in the finals :]
Well played Joey! Good to see your teambuilding coming through. Also that set prediction for the Delphox from your teambuilding video was on point. Hope you guys can play again in the finals; watch out for Cofagrius and Excadrill :]
old habits die hard with manaphy just watching from the back as Hard Body did the finest of works. Fantastic battle as always, fren :]
you're the only guy I know who factors in a possiblility of double crit occuring haha
Joeys just that good lol
49 minute battle, someone didn't get bodied!
someone actually did
Dan got hard bodied
+Jack C Eyy
It always baffles me how well you play with balance man, fantastic game my dude
The conditioning for the Heavy Slam on the incoming Tyranitar and the scouting for Solar Beam are the reasons I love watching Joey battle, accounts for everything.
joey you're too good at this game goddamn. so many layers in the draft, in the teambuilding. so fuckin calculated what the hell.
Next time kyurem dies, you need to say "b-b-b-beatdown and im out"
Great job Joey!!! This match was spectacular :]
bruh how did joey see the power herb solarbeam coming
It was pretty obvious tbh and he even said so in his team builder
its a common set with magician ability
damn i never knew that i dont play delphox's tier so i wouldnt know
Woulda been so funny if Dan actually predicted that and went for something stupid like Fire Blast first. I mean, more obvious than the Solarbeam was the Protect of Alomomola
Good match! Match was long but really good. Can't wait for next week's battle!
23:20 best moment of the match and I haven't even finished it yet. I was laughing alongside Joey lmao xD
Another L to freeze hacks! FreezeDrive strikes again. So sorry to see it happen like this yet another time :[
Sorry man, my moves are just Ice cold.
+aDrive LOL
You're just too much cold-hearted Dan :P
why tf do you lie
marco lopez you didn't watch UCL season 1 right?
Joey handled this game masterfully. I think this match shows not only how great of a battler he is (never was any doubt anyway) but also how strong his draft was.
should have just dodged cc with sand veil chomp but that's an ascended god level play i wouldn't expect out of a newer player like joey
Yeah dude joey is so bad..
That's a Verlis approved set, double team chomp w/ brightpowder op
u right
Hard body still being great. Loved it last season as well. GL on future battles Joey
shhhhit this battle was amazing
gg man!
That healing wish at 45:00, Reuniclus moved so fast afterwards! I keep forgetting how the original sprite of Reuniclus moves since in all the UCL games it is so busy absorbing status. And yes it immediately gets burned after hitting the field again xD.
The bulk is so real, the opposing teams need very strong mons taking care of at least 4 tanks a game..
GG. Also nice of you to help nappy build his team
I love battles like this. You're both great.
UU mons doing the most work! Nice, very well played in this battle.
I'm sure you know this by now but you actually got a near-max roll on Heracross, I think you did about 80%:
44+ Atk Mega Aggron Heavy Slam (120 BP) vs. 236 HP / 0 Def Heracross: 249-294 (69.1 - 81.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
aDrive was running a ton of bulk on his Heracross. 236 HP EVs. I think the reason is that you don't have many mons with middling speed-- they're either pretty slow and won't run speed (like Alomomola and Tangrowth), or they have base 95 speed or higher (as is the case with all of your offensive mons). Garbodor is the only mon that he could realistically outspeed by investing in speed, which I think is why he went so bulky.
Future opponents are likely to do the same thing-- with mons that have around base 70-90 speed, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for them to max speed, so they'll probably invest heavily in HP. Just something to keep in mind.

And he went offense with his OU picks since that's where all the best offensive mons are found, more so than with defensive mons.
+drunyon214 Yup, and because of the bulk of his offensive mons, Alomomola is perfect for this team because he can wish-pass to them and regen itself. Superb synergy between Alomomola and Mega Aggron. Love this draft.
HARD BODYYYYY !!! :] awesome game man I would consider Dan one of the best players in this league and aside from turn 1 with the pursuit trap(which was a hard read) I think you played almost flawless. Let's go beartics !
the "ahhhh" after that alomomola protect tho. classic Joey. Let's go beartics
Great battle holy shit, you played amazingly! When you win even though you sacked your CB Kyurem-B Turn 3 when your opponent has no Dragon resist, you know you played well.
I have to say he did play incredibly
Great battle dude, nice job!
GG Joey.
Very well played against a strong opponent.
Amazing play from Joey the god, as always.
Amazing game Joey! Great job!
I knew it had to happen. Fan of you and Dan. Someone had to win!
Literally what I do when I watch u play these matches is skip to the end see if u win then watch it from the beginning. Btw good match POEY JOKEAIM
Thank you, Joey, that's exactly what I wanted to see (:
Dang you just 4-0d the second best battler in the league with 3 pokemon. Well played! Feel bad for Dan though, I bet he really counted on that banded Ttar to be his Reuniclus counter. That pokemon is just a monster when you cant deal with it. Acid armour was a genius pick for him this game.
when the vid dropped 6 minutes ago, is 50 minutes long but someone already disliked it
This battle was sweet to watch!
BATALHA MUITO BOA JOEEEEEEEEY!
that min roll aggron heavy slam though :[
nah, wasn't min, maybe average at best. he had hp! haha that's something i mentioned as we kept going "unless he had investment"
+pokeaimMD oh sorry, my bad!
nah no worries fren :]
+pokeaimMD :]
Phenomenal match!! Congrats on both!! Hard body mvp!!
Everybody bring your Rawst berries because we fightin' Dan!
Dan got outplayed at almost every turn. That's rare to see since he's such a great battler
I knew you'd win Joey. That protect on solar beam though 😌
Magnificent Battling, Joey a.k.a Pokeammid.
Omg Joey you are really really good lol predicted that solar beam.
You and Dan always have good battles
Two tough battles coming up, my man. It's not time to Slack Off, just gotta switch in on 'em and drop some *Dracos*, amirite?
While Vaporeon is a good member on most teams I feel like he severely crippled his ability to make the most of the roar by not having hazards, especially considering Joey's lack of hazard control. It could have applied a lot more pressure. Also sand stream T-tar was arguably detrimental to his team due to the lack of excadril and the addition of Synthesis M-Venasaur.

Keep up the good work Joey, this is awesome to watch and I'm excited to see what happens next week! #BronxBeartics
Agreed. Roar is so much better with hazards.
The biggest thing that won Joey this match imo was getting rid of Heracross Turn 4. From there, it was mostly Team Building.
tbh I think that everyone would have preferred that toxic to hit, joey wouldn't have had to play so stally and the match would have been over much quicker. to bad we didn't get to see that godly garchomp set :(
We didn't get to see anything godly from Garchomps set because Dan didn't bring Excadrill (Rain Dance), and Heracross died turn 4 (Aerial Ace).
if we really evaluate this battle Joey beat Dan with simply 3 Pokémon. Hard Body, PANZER, and Whitley. Strong Jaw never touched the field, sacked Beatdown early and BEARTICS was really just used for the hell of it. Amazing battle! Rocks really put so much pressure on his team especially since he had no way to remove them.
hell of it as in bating Roar from Vaporeon by going for Tail Glow :]
about to watch probably one of the best games in the UCL... Let's go Beartics!!!
Im rooting for you man!!! :] *sneaks back to adrives channel*
bet your sorry you did
GGs these games between u guys are really good. Can't wait till u fight Mogwai
Joey putting in work as always :]
We need Hard Body T-Shirts.
Hard Body IS a tshirt
hard body = not wearin a shirt
my boy pokeaimmd quoting Sora. I see you Joey :]
Damn That Manaphy sweep! +6 knock em out even if they are sassy :]
Is the summer battles with blunder coming back?
Congrats on that amazing win
>48 minutes
This is going to be good.
You into competitive too?
"He doubles into Delphoxthegod" LOL 22:22
great game Dan fought hard joey u jus had the super bulk
This match was over as soon as heracross died and delphox tried to solar beam in the sand.
Joey do you legit breed and train the mons for these battles or do you gen them?
Dang, what an awesome game and fun to watch!
man PANZER putting in the best of work alongside hard body :]
This was a really well played game joey on that 2014 wcop mindset expect reuniclus instead of mew putting in major work gotta give credit to dan as well he played exceptional just what I expect from a GBA champion we taking the title again bro Really enjoyed watching this battle [:
This was a really good match. Very patiently fought..
#BRONXBEATDOWN
#POLANDSPRING
Joey you the man! Love your videos
6 turns of freeze! +adrive youre so lucky man , its ok we will sweep someone next week joey!
nah that was nexus vs nappy lol 13 turns of freeze, madness
+22gopher22 I hope that's not true cuz you just spoiled it for me v.v
Damn that was a stally battle
Hard Body is amazing, 1by1ing a Banded Ttar to death
Just wondering why you used waterfall over scald on Whitley?
Higher attack then special
Break cm delphox subs
Predicting the phases haha mr. Psychic over here
Joey may be one of the best strategy based players in Pokemon
Did anyone still understand why Joey drafted flygon when he already had garchomp?
for defog and ground immunity
Dying at all the fake comments about getting freeze hacked again XD so funny. Keep up the work boi.

Jack C Lol well played sir well played. I wish Delphox learned a move that could freeze and got healing wish. Then it might actually get some play.
What exactly is the point of having baton pass, without set up moves? I'm just wanting to learn.
Dakota Amason the point is to see what your opponent does, and then switch. thats why people run slow pokemon with uturn or volt switch, you can react
probavbly the 2 most famous ucl players facing off
"venusaur the asparagus" nice lol
