*Q1 What's your favorite mon to use in 1v1?* *Q2 If you guys have a team, care free to drop it here?* *Q3 Name an item that you've used which isn't normally used?* (Team, Discord in description)
My answers: 1. I really liked the gouging set 2. You guys can share 3. Muscle Band, Life orb is a lot better option but I feel trading some HP to boost moves isn't worth it
1. Cheesy sableye set with choice scarf trick recover disable and an attacking move 2. I accidentally deleted my team ._. 3.I mostly run choice items cuz battles are fast
@@Jiroscopio_ Well there are super-powered mons like I-bundle and G- fire and annihilape is allowed for some reason. It's also not traditional and only 3 mons are allowed. Heavily meta-dependant and focus sash/sturdy breaks the point.
As a side note, there's something about this team that I truly am proud of. I made this team before dlc2 actually dropped. I theory-built the entire team, and it works this well. I do deeply love this team.
I love this mode because you can use gimmicky Pokémon like level 1s or protect + substitute + leech seed and still have a chance if you can predict well. Thank god custap didn’t get banned in the test
@@jormungardwe if im remembering right there was some pokemon go event that combined with pokemon home allowed you to get a lvl 2 donphan. I think they made some reference to that in showdown, tho whether it still is there or not idk.
@@dracomenaceWelp my team still there, and I remembered I played it or maybe cuz I lost a bet(on a game) and my friend made me us 3 LC mons I think am at about 1000-1100 yeah no progress
I haven't played a crazy amount of 1v1, but I've had success using Choice Band Spiritomb. Decently tanky mon, and Payback and Poltergeist hit like a truck.
Oops totally forgot about that the locking lol We still had a better chance of winning if the second EQ does not KO my gouging (minus the confusion hax after raging fury)
If 1vs1 allow you to pick which type to battle, it'll be like Gen 4 Battle Hall. Now I'm curious if they'd do 2vs2 but they have to be the same specie, which is what Battle Hall doubles was.
@@dracomenace yeah one Poke or two of the same specie, then you go on type streaks. I'm just thinking this is the closest to Battle Hall. Using less of what you put in your team reminds me of Battle Dome from Emerald tho.
Endeavor/counter strat is fairly common but it can be countered easily Final gambit is useless in this meta, as your pokemon will faint before the opponent, making you lose the battle
I want to know why nobody brings choice scarf sets to these 1v1 battles? Because as far as I know the unexpected gouging fire versus walking wake sets with choice scarf (hiding the stat boost) would turn the tides almost instantly.
@@dracomenace it’s less functional but scarf on fire would still hold merit, countering common sets such as the less common speed boosting iron crown, demolish the sableye leads with trick, and as mentioned destroy wake. Also a complete gimmick at best but would counter some archa sets who lead with rock tomb to break sash / not go for Draco immediately. Less of a selling point to be sure but I digress.
@@dracomenace ah…well that makes a ton more sense. Carry on Draco king sir, I bow to your knowledge. (Fave video so far was easily the iron valiant showcase no diff)
@@dracomenace Yeah I played the gen 8 version with zeraora plus eleki and basically it’s scarf plasma fists plus explosion, it’s really fun until you encounter gastrodom
@environmental2117 I invented that combo lol. You don't actually need scarf though because you can ev leki to underspeed by 1 and then you have alot more utility like protect and electroweb
Well I think this is not popular because mainline pokemon games aren't build to 1v1 when everything has crazy stats. Look at spinnof games and anime or manga. All attacks are much weaker while everything has much more HP or can take/avoid multiple hits. In normal games one shots are very common and people don't like losing battle because of a one shot.
@@dracomenace I know it's competetive and have no doubt in it. I just said that one shots are the problem for people because in this format the goal is to defeat your opponent the quickest way. And because everything in pokemon can be oneshooted matches are much quicker and people don't like that.

Sash is banned tho, which is a good sign to be fair
With Focus Sash Whimsicott and Cotonee where unbeatable in gen 5.
This meta game is basically: Free rematches cause barely anyone plays it💀
Basically it lol, I hope we get more ppl to play

everything is straight forward. all the thinking you only need is on which mon to use lol
It's an overstatement
I used to play this too, my team was hydreigio(specs), metagross(weakness policy) and whatever I uses 2 mons
Never saw you on the ladder

Real
7:01 he’s probably early bird so rest only gives one sleep turn, and with eviolite it’s kinda bulky, but it really isn’t good enough for this tier lol
Props for the strat tho
Sash has always been banned in 1v1. It would destroy the rich item variety and force you to run priority on every mon.
I learned about it just after the vid
Its impressive that DMPancake outsmarted your outsmarting him
Lol true
1:00 sash is banned
Makes sense
Oh i love the Giorno theme you put in this vid
Thanks lol
I haven't played a crazy amount of 1v1, but I've had success using Choice Band Spiritomb.

Looks like a hidden threat to me
When i saw the Thumbnail i thought u were going to play Sunflora lol
We tryna win here lol

4:04 yeah it is a misplay cause you can’t setup because of raging fury lol

From what I remember, you could only use one mon in battle hall while here you can actually choose from 3

It's actually good
U tried Sturdy mirra coat monnes?
Not yet
what prevent people from choice scarf final gambit or cheese endeavor/counter strat?
Endeavor/counter strat is fairly common but it can be countered easily
Final gambit is useless in this meta, as your pokemon will faint before the opponent, making you lose the battle
so close to 10k !!
Let's get to the milestone 💪
i just used this exact team in a 1v1 tournament just now and won lol@@dracomenace
@@yettc4257 lol, That's nice
Imagine if you send Shedinja and he has no moves to use against 😅
I assume, it would be probably banned if it existed in SV

Why would the opponent's Iron Crown changed to Store Power when Tachyon Cutter clearly does more damage?
Tachyon cutter only did more as it crit, otherwise it does like 15% damage at best
@@dracomenace I see... thanks for the explanation 👍
I want to know why nobody brings choice scarf sets to these 1v1 battles?

People want to change between their moves, that's why
