Seeing Aaron's joy when his opponents make great plays gives me life.
Seeing Aaron's joy when his opponents rage quit gives me more life
honey, come here! Aaron 'Cybertron' Zheng has uploaded a video where he isn't climbing the online ladder in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and providing live commentary as he goes 😬
Yeah regulation F isn't on the ranked ladder yet so this is fun games to test the New pokemon
It seriously caught me off guard 😅
I'm sorry babe I'm just not in the mood for sex tonight. You know how I can't get it up unless we have a new video of Aaron 'Cybertron' Zheng climbing the online VGC ladder playing in the background. It's just not the same unless he's actually climbing 😢😔
I just skip the intro tbh, im here to see him play Pokémon, not playing a spreadsheet.
@ironboy3245 the breakdown helps me understand what is workin in the meta, what benchmarks are being hit, etc
19:05 Eternatus would certainly be interesting here :^) Enamorus sounds incredibly similar tho
This isn't the first time he said eternatus instead of enamorus 😭
I’m pretty sure that Malamar got skill swap in the dlc so the plan was to swap contrary to leaf storm and Draco hydrapple.
Yes but he didn’t go for it which was weird. It was his best bet. Instead he ended up losing both mind for KO-ing 1
That’s foofootoos team
It’s usually paired with Hypnosis on Malamar too, to make use of the evasion drops from Supersweet Syrup
@@27TheJose they didn't want to skill swap because follow me would redirect it
Yeah, Hydrapple under trick room with Contrary and Leaf Storm+Draco Meteor is an absolute menace, the setup for that is a pretty long cook time, however.
That rage quit for that OHKO from Hands was pretty funny. Thanks for always sharing such good battles!!
Bro I was dying for minute when that happened🤣
1:03:19 Wow I really hadn't expected drain punch to get the knockout on Moltres
Enjoyed the video as always and happy holidays!
Thank you for the generous gift and for watching the video! Happy holidays :)
Iron Crown w\ speed Booster Energy next to Indeede-M with Choice Scarf has been the best combo I’ve found, spamming speedy double Expanding Force
Speed kills in early meta, people usually don't know exactly what to hedge for bulk EVs yet haha.
I love your vgc videos because I’m trying to get better and you explain very in depth the teams and your decisions during matches
Bro sniffed out the setup of Skill Swap Malamar game 1 and didn't even know it existed.
I'm really tempted to explore other Tera options on Iron Crown -- Tera Ground in particular really stands out to me, especially since it could hit Incin and also help with Steel-types that feel invincible in front of our favorite Expanding Force bot. Great stuff as always, Aaron, please keep it up!
Bro so grateful that you are using your holiday break to give us more content!
This reg F will be crazy. There is so many strong pkm to build a team now.
Tornshifu may be checked by raging bolt. Fast psyspam with iron crown. Hard press may be a strong option for light weight steel pokemon to 1 shot flutter. Gouging fire burning in protect. Mighty cleave going through protect. Walking wake giving water cover in sun teams.
So many strong plays to make and to counter
The terrain battles were so interesting this video! Great piloting!
Aaron your ability to explain both the pros and cons of every situation and why to do what in each position is solely the reason i'm able to keep with pokemon championship matches
I've been meaning to create a team centered around Iron Crown, and this is perfect timing! Thanks always for the insightful videos Aaron! Indeed, I have grown as a VGC player with your help. :)
Love these videos. I've just got into competitive and doing my best to learn.
the thing is: with booster energy increasing it‘s speed it‘s super dangerous! you basically lose if u don‘t set up tailwind first turn
Iron Crowns head spinning around when it faints 😭
QOTD: I have been enjoying support spectrier a lot so far, especially on a team with p2 and Raging Bolt. With will-o-wisp, snarl, and haze it can shut down a lot of early-meta strats such as archaludon stamina, plus its damage negation allows for raging bolt to get off calm minds with ease much of the time. Being immune to fake out is an added bonus, will-o-wisps into iron hands and rillabooms are usually pretty free.
44:32 funny to have the Area Zero battle theme going while there are three legendary paradoxes and an Indeedee
lol the first team featured is one of the Victory Road rentals I was testing on Showdown. The opponent didn’t get to show it off, but the main strategy is to have Malamar use Skill Swap onto Hydrapple to get Contrary (boosting Leaf Storm and Draco Meteor) and re-activate Supersweet Syrup for another -1 Evasion. That way, Malamar can get consistent Hypnosis hits under Trick Room. Not really consistent, but its fun/gimmicky to pull off
Been having a lot of fun with primarina in TR lately. Farigiraf and sinistcha as the setters. So good.
One Strat I'm loving? The Foo-strat of course - Contrary Hydrapple! With a few alterations to the team, naturally hehe.
That Malamar is Skill Swap Contrary to give Hydrapple with Leaf Storm and Draco Meteor Contrary so each one gives a nasty plot boost as well. Learned that the hard way on ladder.
Absolutely love Iron Crown! Will certainly try my own spin on a team with it! Always a treat to watch you play Aaron 💙💜
QOTD: Really loving Araquanid rn!! I got 4th at an online tour of +- 65 people with it, it's so strong and setting it up in the endgame is so rewarding!!
I’d love to hear about your team. I’ve been really wanting to use it.
Me too!
Which set and item you use!
@@Pokemazda Link & a short description of changes are in the reply to Dafiire!! If u have any more questions I may or may not see them tomorrow xD
@@roxannedobgamin sorry but on my screan you did not react to Dafiiire??
This makes me so happy that i decided tera water tera blast myself and see other people gravitating toward that lets me know im getting better at vgc ~
I brought back a Kingdra (Poison Tera) Team on Showdown and won just about all my games. uses Klefki, Incin, and the new Raikou variant. It's been really fun!
FYI the first team was a Malamar skill swap team, it gives hydrapple contrary and hydrapple boosts it’s spatk with leaf storm and Draco meteor
The big strategy I’ve been in love with at the moment has been a set-up offense team using Blaziken, my first Pokemon ever, my competitive singles savior throughout the years, and finally making its way to VGC now that I’ve really begun to understand double battles after a long winded break and skipping out on Sword and Shield.
I finally have a team I’m more than comfortable with- it just took a literal year and the second wave of DLC to find that magic again. Loving the format so much!
Hey Aaron, I’ve been using Iron Crown recently, and your team was a very unique approach. Still trying to maximize its worth as much as possible, as I’m new to VGC and I wanna see what works, thanks for the video!
I was literally shouting at my screen "IT'S GONNA WIDE GUARD, IT'S GONNA WIDE GUARD" when the Swampert came out haha
F in the chat for Cybertron's phone
QOTD: I made a fun sun team with scarf H-Typhlosion Eruption that i am enjoying right now. Walking Wake really helps give the team more balance than previous iterations
Drop the code please😮
@@Maxieixami'll have to do it when i get back home!
@@Maxieixam C22Q7W
i've been trying a few iterations of the team because it's casual ladder so why not see what works. originally had ninetales for automatic sun but with all the new dragon protos resisting fire (and getting the boost) i wanted to balance the team a bit more.
also, ignore the team name because for some reason when creating the rental code the team is correct but the name is from a rain team i made LOL
I love Focus Blast on Iron Crown over Tera Blast being able to hit Kinggambit, Incin etc. (if I actually dont miss will say lol)
For the QOTD: outside of like a balance/offensive core, I also made a Psy Terrain team with Crown and Expanding force so seeing this is pretty nice. Tho I did it with I Def and CM just for longevity. And yeah, Incineroar is tough to deal with Crown outside of Tera so I like that consideration.
Hatterene is also a consideration, if not competition, for Iron Crown since it also got Expanding Force but Crown is underrated. Thank you for covering it!
That first team was my team with contrary skill swap malamar into leaf storm/Draco Hydrapple and hypnosis on malamar after you get the evasion drops. The pilot didn't lead the best into a team with torkoal and redirection tho unfortunately
I’ve been using Iron Crown with Indeedee wearing Rocky Helmet, and Sceptile with Unburden, Psychic Seed, and Shed Tail.
I really love how everyone thought iron crown and hisuian arcanine were going to be mid, and then they started using them and found out they were broken 😝
Loving the looooooo00ooooong episodes, thanks so much Aaron❤
That last battle… I FEEL for that opponent like I would have done the same thing. 😂😂😂
yooooo so excited to see expanding force crown, it seems really cool
Hands down best VGC content, thanks Aaron!
Yes bring in all the new content!
Honestly, I’m surprised a steel psychic type is even remotely usable in a format with Incineroar.
To be fair it does have the ability to nuke incin with focus blast (if you can land it lol)
@@HerpingTh3Derp And apparently Tera-Water Tera Blast. Though the same would be true for Tera-Ground, Tera-Rock, or Tera-Fighting.
I'm glad your uploading this now so when ladder starts people will have moved on and I can keep doing this for ranking.
You calling the opponents plays before they even make it never ceases to amaze me.
Always a pleasure to watch❤
That first team was one shown off by @foofootoo it uses skill swap malomar on hydrapple to double activate super sweet syrup and also lets hydrapple boost with leaf storm and draco
why does Aaron saying “dunk on” never fail to make me laugh? 💀
In Game 2, double protect from slowking for trick room to end, plus having annihilape on the field could have work pretty good right? I mean, you need to get the double and its difficult even of you do, but its something
Hey Aaron idk if ur are gonna see this but I was curious about the Kufbu in the indigo Disk, can I use it for VGC tournament?
The first team is Foofootoo's most recent team showcase, even lead the same way Foo recommends. The idea is to skill swap contrary onto Hydrapple for +2 boosting Draco Meteor and Leaf Storm. Bonus points if you then skill swap Supersweet Syrup onto an opponent, giving Hydrapple an evasion boost.
But the opponent forgot to do the main thing the gimmick is built around and lost immediately haha.
What would the spread have been on that tera dark electivire? Looks like an interesting pick
Hey Aaron, love your videos. Hope you have a great holiday season!
You too, happy holidays :)
"Give me Torn, Give me Urshifu 😆"
Ah, the Devil You Know - VGC Edition
There are two Aarons: 1. Joyful because his opponent made a really sick play, 2. Joyful because his opponent DC'd.
What amazing games i was so engaged 🤩
47:58 that's the scarier faint animation i've seen omg poor iron crown
edit: lmao that 1-hit ko on Goltres xD
Insane psycho cut+6 would love to see 😭
I love using rhypherior weakness policy after buldoze
My favorite strategy atm is whimsicott beat up annihilape. perfect against the waves of incins too thanks to defiant
IRON CROWN IS FINALLY HERE !!
Hey Aaron, I am dying to see a good Dragon Cheer team. I really do think there's some value in it with some heavy hitting Pokemon like Roaring Moon but I can't find a core I like.
Can always do the classic Scope Lens + Draco Meteor with cheer on a support instead of Focus Energy. In that vein there are some bulkier mons with cheer that work well (Hydrapple which also helps accuracy, Milotic to punish Intimidaters and provide Icy Wind for example) and your pick of strong SpA dragons with various pros and cons (Hydreigon, Walking Wake probs in sun, Kingdra in rain, Archaludon for steel stab for fairies and stamina/stalwart, etc)
Who would you consider to be a more powerful team the roaring wake team or this iron crown team??
What is the best helmet in s/v and why is it the replica expedition helm???
QOTD: Been running an Iron Crown focused team myself and having a lot of fun. I'm using a tera psychic clam mind set over tera blast, and instead partner it with Mienshao to deal with Incin since it's Crown's biggest counter
QOTD: the strategy I currently used is a version of the Spectrier team you’ve showcased a few months back adjusted for regulation F. Am really enjoying it!
What did you change about it?
@@bengladwell4341
Warning: lots of text
Well… the main core of Spectrier, Arcanine, Grimmsnarl, Gastrodon stayed the same at first. I swapped the Galarian Moltres and Gholdengo at the time for Tyranitar + Lycanroc another good combination at the time (keep in mind it was still reg D). I did pretty ok with it and got up to ultra at which point I stopped playing Pokémon for a while. Now for regulation F I’ve adjusted the team quite a bit. Due to the really unfavorable circumstances that are the big 4 (Lando-T, Flutter Mane, Incineroar, Urshifu-Rapid) I have removed the Tyranitar Lycanroc duo. Took me a while to figure out what mons I wanted to replace them with. Until I stumbled across two new Pokémon in the dlc. The first is regenerator choice specs Hydrapple which is both severely underrated and hilariously stupid. It essentially replaces the role Gholdengo had in the original build. It’s an immediate threat on the field that is way more powerful than one’s expect and sticks around forever. The other replacement is Iron Boulder. This guy is essentially the physical version of Spectrier on the team. It gets access to Sword Dance and taunt. I actually didn’t give it protect as its defenses are amazing once invested in and with booster energy + max speed it can outspeed most non Flutter mane threats some even under tailwind. For attacking moves I gave it its signature mighty cleave which ruins protect spamming players and psycho cut which is the most consistent physical Psychic stab it gets access to. The crit chance is also situationally good vs the stray uncommon Dondozo. Finally I at some point removed Gastrodon as I had more than enough ways to live against Urshifu with both Spectrier surviving Tera Surging strikes thanks to sitrus and setting up (the only variant spec fears is choice scarf) and Hydrapple with its good natural bulk and typing laughs at every Urshifu move that isn’t Ice spinner (Though even that can be lived with Grimmsnarl support). So I switched Gastrodon for Milotic. It single-handedly ruins both Incineroar and Lando-T with competitive. It has similar bulk to Gastrodon and is even bulkier on the special side which let’s it live quite outrageous hits (I have EV’d it to always survive at least one electric attack from Raging Bolt with the Proto synthesis boost). The more important thing is the move pool. Milotic learns all of Icy wind, Scald, and Haze which each have great utility. Milotic also similar to Gastrodon before it still fulfilled the role of temporary Urshifu stop as it survives Urshifu’s stab hits well and can threaten a burn on it.
So my team currently is:
Spectrier
Hydrapple
Arcanine-Hisui
Grimmsnarl
Iron Boulder
Milotic
cant wait for restricted mons ngl. shadow rider is so insane in psychic spam teams.
Ive actually been testing out explosion clear body metagross lead to deal with incen and rillaboom combos. currently 12-5 with it still working out the kinks. i did not think of tera water iron crown for incen tho, it might be actually better.
Not sure if anyone mentioned, but that hydrate and Malamar combo is actually disgusting if they get going. The ideal setup is for malamar to swap contrary on hydrapple, and hydrapple spam leaf storm after that
Wake up son! Your other Christmas present just got here! Aaron ‘Cybertron’ Zheng just dropped a new video bud! Merry Christmas 😍
yo is that your old room?? it looks just like your older vids. LOVE the long vids btw!!!
yo could you increase the ingame volume espicially the battle music. it would really add to the video experience
You know, physical Cress is not as weird as I would have expected. For some reason I always think it has base 85 special attack, not 75.
41:35 A Jurassic Johto Team!? Fred is my hero.
Ok I want someone to tell me I’m not crazy but is the audio synced? Because even in the last video I felt something was a little off but I can’t tell what it is. Specifically in the beginning.
Rillaboom = Gen 8 Incin according to Aaron.
We now have 2 Incins to deal with.
Imagining a +6 cress w max attack spamming psycho cuts is so funny to me
Hey guys- Aaron "Cybertron" Zheng here with a BO1 CTS Psyspam team where I torture Incineroar players for fun and provide live commentary as I go!
Honestly- I am all here for it, Tera Blast away!!
Max attack Cress are not words I thought i'd ever hear LMAOOOOO.
It's so funny
That cresselia sure is cooking...
Aaron I love your vids ❤ amazing strategies and pokemon combinations YAAAAAS
I've been using terra phy calm mind. Does so much damage.
Omg another Cybertron vid already!? Christmas continues 😻
The amount of Incineroar getting demolished in this video makes me very happy
QOTD: Rain dance Torn with Archaludon has been stupidly good. Electro shot melts through teams
With the upcoming regulation allowing a restricted Pokémon, what Pokémon can be replaced on this team?
Ive only played on showdown but it seems like Entei beats gouging fire with sacred fire, extreme speed, and intimidate immunity. Iron crown seems like an obvious upgrade though
Great vid. The audio is out of sync in the intro however
QOTD: loving calm mind Raging Bolt right now. just so much fun to use
is the audio not synced to the video for anyone else?
i like countering the iron crown indeedee combo w/ precipice blades groudon & knock off incineroar 🗿
Ngl, I really wanted to know if the opponent was gonna do the Skill Swap with Hydrapple and it gets Contrary and then every move like Leaf Storm, Draco Meteor would boost it a lot, I wanna try that strategy
Also question about people rage quitting in matches, do you still get rewarded for winning or nothing happens?
You still get awarded a win if they disconnect, yep.
I think Expanding Force was in the base game already, right? He said it "returned...thru the DLC", but wasn't Armarouge already using Expanding Force?
Armarouge was the ONLY Pokémon in the whole game that got till the DLC made it a TM. Now expanding force is everywhere.
@@marshallthomasiii6091 ah, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.
I lost against this team 2-1 tonight in a round robin open sheet tournament in Japan. Freaking crazy team. Lol
that last trainer was going places. i was cheering for him, sorry aaron :))
1:03:18 Nah if my pokemon got OHKO'd by a 75 base power move I resisted even without a crit I'd be tilted like that too lol
+6 drain punch is legit lol
Aaron is an amazing player, but he’s not been rolled enough by a random WP armarouge - was deffo the case on the second game 😂
Hey0 everyone love your videos man and hope I can get to the level you are in now
i feel like tera ground might be better than tera water as it allows u to hit king/force it to tera
