Why Galarian ARTICUNO is an AMAZING ANTI-META pick • Pokemon Scarlet/Violet VGC Battles
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 май 2024
- Galarian Articuno is a super underrated anti-meta pick in the VGC format right now. With so much Intimidate running around from Pokemon like H-Arcanine and Landorus-T, it can quickly boost up its Special Attack through its ability, Competitive. In addition, the combination of Freezing Glare and Ground Tera Blast has really good coverage into a lot of the standard team compositions right now. Finally, with access to Trick Room, it can catch opposing teams off guard! This team is a variant of a team that Jamie Boyt used to finish 9th out of over 500 players at a major tournament over in Europe, and it really highlights how good Galarian Articuno can be!

Nothing brightens my day more than when Aaron 'Cybertron' Zheng climbs the online regulation E VGC ladder in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and provides live commentary as he goes.
I like to do it outside.. I notice it never rains on days that Aaron “cybertron” Zheng climbs the online regulation E VGC ladder in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and provides live commentary as he goes.
I made it! I was game 1 (ngl i forgot about competitive lol) but im glad to have battled you finally Aaron! Hope to battle you again someday!
I think the old Regi's need buffed.
I would give the old Regi Trio abilities like Drago and Eleki got. 30% increased damage as their first Ability. I think all Regis should get Sturdy as their second Ability and then they get a Hidden Ability.
* Regidrago - Strong Jaw
* Regieleki - Analytic
* Regice - Clear Body
* Regirock - Solid Rock
* Registeel - Heatproof
Dragon Maw would be nerfed to 30% but I think a Dragon Fang move should be added to the game, it is weird that a Dragon Type biting move doesn't exist. This would give Regidrago a physical set option using biting moves. but still let them use their Special sets with the 30% boost to Dragon Type moves and in combination with Tera Type, Dragon Energy and Draco Meteor.
Additionally I think the old Regi Trio need signature moves.
* Regice - Hoarfrost: Ice Type | Status | Protect, if snowing also recover 1/3rd HP
* Regirock - Undermine: Rock Type | 85 Power | 100% Accuracy | Physical (No Contact) | Damages target Pokémon and removes Aurora Veil, Light Screen, Reflect and Safeguard.
* Registeel - Meltdown: Steel Type | 200 Power | 100% Accuracy | Physical | User faints, damages all adjacent Pokémon and leaves behind Electric Terrain.
Edited: Per feedback
Dang you've been waiting years for this QOTD opportunity lol
@@scottcrysel I actually posted this in another QOTD he asked LOL So I just reposted it
Honestly best QOTD answer I’ve seen. Only thing I would remove is Regirocks signature move being able to go through protect, having a 100% accurate rock move that breaks screens is already very good
Those are very nice ideas ngl. I would love to see some love for the OG Regis
Wtf are you smoking? You’re really making the Regis broken af
Aaron getting cooked by a mono ghost team was not on my bingo card for the episode. What a cool six!
Arguably the best part of his content is that he doesn't win every game. He leaves in his losses. First off, this makes watching it way more intense knowing that he might lose the matches. Second off, it highlights the team's flaws like nobody else can. Love the Videos!
I’ve been trying to use g-articuno as I saw a lot of potential but I’m too bad of a player to make it work 🤣 thanks for showing how it’s done!
I want Hoenn Regis to be buffed, maybe protosynthesis as an ability
Funnily, with the change to snow, now Regice and Regirock do mirror each other: Regirock gets high Defense stat and Sand to boost their Sp. Def., while Regice has high Sp. Def. and boost their Defense via Snow.
Regirock should get sand stream and regice should get snow warning. And maybe registeel could be getting heatproof?
@@Alon1602that would be cool
QOTD: Buff the Lake Guardians! It'd be cool if they got Fairy regional forms with a new signature ability or something like that.
I wish they did something like this either in BDSP or LA, but it feels like the opportunity has passed now.
Game 5 was so fun to watch! Teams built around a certain theme are always interesting
The galarian birds special moves should hit as the Kanto type if it would be more advantageous in the interaction. Would be cool to see
Having them be dual typed moves would also be interesting. They've already set the precedence with Hawlucha.
I absolutely love G Articuno. It's such a massive mind f*** when you don't know what you can reliably bring out against it. Psychic and Ice can cover so many more meta pokemon than people realize. Even though it's my favorite, takes out Urshifu, Amoongus, Rilla, genies, etc. QOTD, please Gamefreak, buff Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. Favorite trio, but feels like they're so underwhemling compared to the others.
yes I'm glad you did this one, I just watched that tournament and was salty we didn't get to see Jamie use Galarian Articuno on Day 2 lol
It's funny how, in game 1, them mimicking a different team worked for them in that you didn't expect that taunt, but also worked against them in that you didn't Fake Out to make the Trick Specs work the way they wanted.
it's really enriching to observe your thought process after a loss, how you reflect on what could have gone better. Also, Jamie's team has added to my list of teambuilding inspirations going forward, I found a match in how much space the combination of articuno and rmoon creates, alongside Jamie's bulky ahh spreads. Keep up the good work!
Some sort of Barraskewda-related trauma manifested in Game 5.
Been running Galar Articuno, it's been so fun! Chi-yu × Articuno core has been very explosive with Chein-pao × Dragapult in the back
Great content as usual
the thing i find most interesting about g-articuno is the ability to have both tailwind AND trick room while also having imprison. granted that only leaves you 1 slot for an attack (freezing glare), but i still think it could be amazing utility in the right situations. ive messed around with it a bit. a normal tera throat spray hyper voice variation (more dmg focused, freezing glare, hyper voice, shadow ball, protect) and the more bulk utility oriented. i didnt find a ton of success with either, but it did catch a lot of people off guard, and was extremely fun. VERY punishing for people who dont [prankster] tailwind t1.
i will note that i think it was the team surrounding g-articuno (cause i was using teams of entirely off meta mons essentially, just to try new things) is why it didnt work as well as it could have, not bc the mon itself is lackluster. anywho, now to watch the vid, lmao.
So happy to see galarticuno featured!! What an awesome mon!
Love this cause I literally had this EXACT thought about Galarian Articuno just last night! Looking forward to more gameplay and climbing CybertronZ!
A boyt team always gets me excited. Would love to see him in call giving you feedback on your usage of the team. You did that kind of collab with someone else once. Dope concept. Would def enjoy it
Articuno is my favorite legendary, it's great to see it being used.
using this team asap for online battle when I finish my play file
Boyt and you gave me ideas on how to use G-articuno in a different setup. I've been trying to figure out usage for it for a while. If it works nicely I'll share the team with you. Thanks!
Yes! i hoped you will make video on this team
I’m surprised at the end of game 5 you didn’t go for protect gholdengo and ice spinner into Annihilape I feel at half with the dragon tera that could’ve gotten the knockout good games overall love every video!
Brilliant showcase thanks 😊
I would give raikou and suicune a powerful signature move to fit in with entei's sacred fire (even though its not exclusive i know). I would give raikou a 100bp electric move that hits ground types for not very effective damage, not just immune called ascended bolt. I would give suicune an 85bp water spread move that also heals any status conditions and negative status such as taunt or salt cure from itself and its ally called purifying stream
At least you show you're fighting against Master ball rank. All these other channels hide what rank their in and claim to be high level players. We want to see high level play not beating up on lower ranked players. Good job
I think that's why James Baek always shows the opponent and rank before every battle too. Though this early in the Month everyone gets knocked down to Ultra Ball for the season reset.
@Kasaaz yea other youtubers they don't show and then laugh and bully lower ranked opponents. You can tell with the matches when the opponent doesn't do optimal plays.
BUFF LAKE TRIO lol. I just love the lake trio so many memories from platinum and they are not great they really need a stat redistribution, but if not them regis because there my favorite trio (:
The lake trio all having the same typing and ability is honestly so brutal. On top of that psychic levitate overlaps roles with Cresellia, they really were the least blessed trio of all generations.
The thing that gets me the most Competitive activations has been Bleakwind Storm.
back when it first released, I used a Galatian articuno with bisharp and got into master ball rank in 9 games after months of not playing (I was waiting for that expansion to release), it was pretty easy to exploit the lando and incineroar spam
Love Jamie's teams!
QOTD: The Johto trio. They all have pressure and inner focus as abilities. I think that changing that wil make them way more fun. They all "suffer" from having just one typing, maybe you can really give them something that suits them better. Lightning rod, storm drain and a similar one for fire but without the stat boostst would be awesome for them. That way they only counter pokemon from their own typing and it can keep extreme meta pokemon in check (urshifu, earlier charizard of regieleki).
Articuno has been one of my favourites ever since I used it in Pokémon Stadium.
One of my favourite childhood memories is getting lost in the stupid Seafoam Islands cave and finding Articuno. My idea was to fight Articuno in hopes that it K.O.'s my team so that I get out of the cave. I threw Pokéballs at it and accidentally caught it before it destroyed my team. Don't know how I got out of the cave afterwards.
QOTD: I'd love for Raikou to get buffed somehow (how idk, maybe with electric terrain as a hidden ability 🤔).
Entei and Suicune are viable and used. The Kanto and Galar legendary birds are both viable and used. But Raikou is kind of left behind
I love G-Articuno. Imprison trick room is also a neat set
QOTD buff the swords of justice. Justified is and ok ability and sacred sword is decent but those Pokémon have not held up well.
What are optimal EV spreads for dragin tera annihilape? That game peaked my interest
jamie boyt been ravin about this one for a min
I think your Game 3 opponent was really counting on you leading Roaring Moon.
LESSSS GOO, I CAN SEE THIS BEFORE I SLEEP
Qotd: The Tapus with Rising Voltage, Expanding Force, Grassy Glide and Misty Explosion or Terrain Pulse
I agree, the Tapus are really underwhelming, they should receive some love from Nintendo!
The team in game 5 is really cool
I've been out of the competitive scene since Pokemon sword and shield. Is it worth it to get back into things?
I want the genies buffed just because i think Lando T rage is hilarious.
In actuality i want the creation trio buffed in the way everyone wanted already by giving Palkia an ability that sets gravity on switch in instead of pressure, Dialga one that sets TR, and maybe the Giratina one turns the battle into an Inverse battle for 4 turns as its the antimatter Pokemon
I would love the lake trio to be buffed. Gen 4 has a lot of meaning for me and I loved trying to catch them when I was younger. Just sucks that they suck.
My goat articuno finally got some love
What's the best way to ev train? Does 1 vitamin give you the 4? I'm so confused how at how to get the 4 from vitamins since they give you 10 evs and the first level goes up by 4 and the rest are 8 😂.
can I get a team recommendation? I couldn't play much in two months and I'm struggling to go past ultra ball now
Annihilape making it's premiere for Reg F lol
Is it just me or does the Tera animation for Dragon have a little bit for space on the top? Ie, it was obvious it was dragon a couple seconds before the reveal ‘cuz of the extra space
Other Tera types don’t have this extra space I think?
So game 1 opponent how did they change that team to the variant you thought? Was it a GEN or did they build up the team from scratch and change it to their specifications?
I mean those are honestly the only two options, does it really matter which way they did it lol
Just out of curiosity, is there a reason for Splash Plate over Mystic Water on Urshifu?
Nah, they effectively do the exact same thing
Plates have the divine luck of Arceus of course
the reasoning is that Jamie can say no when opponents ask if it is mystic water in closed teamsheet format
Here I am, rooting for an Imprison-like move or ability that prevents foes using your same items
I would want to buff the gen 4 creation trio
first, give those 3 another better ability, their pressure and telepathy r just below average
for Giratina, I would say make the shadow force weaker but no need to take a turn, keep the protect-ignore thing is ok, and maybe give it recovery moves so the normal form at least make itself a decent tank
for Giratina-O, i think er give at stat buff for form change, otherwise, it will have problem of taking an entire item slot just for very little benefit
My favorite competitive pokemon of all time. Stored Power Agility Weakness Policy went stupid enough in gen 8, now it can tera fighting!!
52:56 Gengar is OG Goat 🥰🖤
Play that ghost team bro. I neeeeeed it
Buff the Swords of Justices, unlike some of the other trios, like the Lake Trio, I think they just need a little bit of help. Give them some real abilities (or at least make Justified anti-Intimidate) and maybe some nice doubles moves. Just give ‘em all Fake Out looool
What makes hisuian Arcanine better than Kanto Arcanine? I always wondered why it's getting so much more usage.
I assume H-Arcanine is slightly more aggressive with the rock stab, and you can tera the weaknesses away if you have to, it might have a slightly higher attack stat? Idk honestly, but that's my guess
Rockslide, E-Speed resistance while double weaknesses Not a Problem because of Tera. Especially the E-Speed Resist against Dnite is key
I see purple mons I click like
I wonder the calcs of ice spinner vs dragon Tera annihilape
The Annihilape bulked up once so 252 Atk Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Ice Spinner vs. +1 248 HP / 0 Def Tera Dragon Annihilape: 74-88 (34.2 - 40.7%) -- 52.3% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
Letsgoooo love G-Articuno.
Like Sigylyph but good
Anywhere to drop you a team to check out for your channel, highly off meta team ft Glastrier + skeleridge top 2500 masterball tier
Made a team based off of this Galarian Articuno for Reg F
Rental Code is FV5HWS if you want to check it out. Also features Tornadus, Entei, Gengar, Zapdos and Sylveon! Let me know what you think! ruclips.net/video/3paGnk0Amiw/видео.html
Thanks everyone!
You called the basculegion barraskewda 😂
This game 5 is giving me serious anxiety!!
Let’s see an “all” anti meta team… all i see is the same teams over and over from everyone with maybe one different pokemon. But the normal iron hands etc always makes up 5 of the 6 pokemon. I get that they are great but would love to see something outside the box and still be competitive
galarian articuno design is like a karen hahaha
the face n body saying "i need to speak with ur manager !!"
Hot take: I wish you got more points in ranked for winning with less used mons to motivate people to be creative... the meta gets so boring, im tired of playing against the same teams over and over...
We saw three non-meta teams in this video: Galarian Moltres, Cinderace and Mono Ghost. What more do you want? Compared to ranked ladders in TCG games (magic, hearthstone, yu-gi-oh) this meta is already super diverse.
Yet there is always an iron hand, Flutter main or urshifu in every team
@@Arthurboy777 They are all built differently, with different tera types, held items and movesets. That is variation enough. Are you going to complain that 100% of FPS games contain guns? p.s. Flutter Mane does have the highest usage now, but only at 51%, that's very far from "always"
i can’t even laugh at the people activating competitive because last gen i led incin + landorus into a defiant thundurus turn 1 💀
Comment for the algorithm
qotd buff entei the best pokemon ever give him a better ability
Nah man, inner focus and espeed access makes it a pseudo dragonite
silence! rillaboomer
QotD: change Articuno-Galar's typing from Psychic / Flying -> Ghost / Flying.
> Anti-meta
> Has RS Urshifu on it
What
The anti-meta comment is about Galarian Articuno specifically
Jamie Boyt is the Pokémon equivalent of the mad scientist that gets soot all over his face when putting in the final drop of fluid into a concoction, only vial is a Pokémon team and the soot is success.
Spreads in this team are not optimized 😅
