Around the ten minute mark I say something about not seeing this gimmick used before, but it has been around for a good while. In fact, Elo Bandit made a video on it in 2019, here is the link :] ruclips.net/video/iT4dPZVc850/видео.html
Bit late to reply but the strats been around for a while, it’s called divecats. What you do is instead of plot, you take a lagging tail and assist fly. Prankster only activates on the 1st stage of 2 stage attacks. You always go up first and come down last, making you untouchable.
I thought you were Weedle for a minute. I was like, "where'd Weedle buy this bass in his voice." You should make videos like this every once in awhile. This was so chill. I liked not having a near stroke watching one of your videos.
I use a team with 5 spindas with assist, return, and contrary and one smeagal with bolt strike, superpower, dragon assent, and v create Very gimmicky but can be very good
Just when I thought weedletwineedle went absolutely crazy with assist, then you introduce this. Very cool and surprisingly broken strat. Could sound moves be a problem as well?
You could also use scarfed smeargle with spore instead of amoonguss... that would get around dark types as smeargle can actually outspeed some stuff. And smeargle could actually have an attack move unlike amoonguss. Obvs not in sword and shield, but in national dex.
yea for sure there are a good amount of counters, but in Nat Dex AG, atleast in the higher ladder, you rarely see the counters, and as long as the opponent doesn't have yveltal, its a free win
Almost one year after this video, I finally got to natdex ag gen 8 high ladder with basically only this team (I used it at least 90% of the time, pretty sure I only used it after 1400 elo) this team is so gimmicky people on high ladder aren't prepared for it, thanks for the team
u right, you just need 3 mons for this strat, and the other 3 could be bluffs, like a bunch of fire and fighting mons to scare away any dark/crass types
Im starting up a RUclips channel focused on 1v1, and am wondering where I could contact you to maybe schedule smth. Do you have a smogon I could post on, or is there a better way? Loving ur content as always, keep up the good work!
I came up with this back in the gen 5 days on pokemon online. back then grass and dark types weren't immune to prankster spore so it worked a lot better. also worked in little cup if sleep clause was off.
In ag you have a smergal with V create dragons acend superpower and spore or guillotine and 5 banded assist spinda with contrary. You kill anything that doesn’t outspeed you
You didnt find this lol, its been around for years. Doesnt work in sword and shield because Assist got removed(what a surprise). To go against grass pokemon Dark void, honeclaws, sub, night slash.
I actually fought this team! I dunno if I fought you specifically, but I ended up in a battle against this exact team TWICE. I’m HoneyBeeTea on Showdown, by the way.
nice gimmick of liepard i really love that pokemon but be carefull of psychyc terrain because that can stop the prankster assist gimmick i think shinotic is much better than amongus but sadly is not in galar or i dont know if is at galar u.u but oh well
I loved the video and really enjoyed it so no hate. But I’m just saying that you didn’t find this strategy. It’s been around for a long time and you can find it everywhere if you search spore Liepard. It’s been covered by Elo Bandit in a gimmick review and other youtubers. And verlisify XD.

@@bahamut256 fly cannot be assisted.... i think u meant copycat prankster with riolu
Giratina switches in
weedletwinneedle: "AcTiVaTe My WeAkNeSs PoLiCy"
The queen has spoken!
I swear, twineedle sounds like a face you want to punch
@@TheUKNutter that's kinda gay ngl
Blade 5786 No. The personality just screams pessimism.

Hi Elo twineedle. Jokes aside assist teams are fun to watch
Sounds like elo bandit, edits like weedletwineedle, and plays lives like weedletwineedle too
I find them extremely boring.
Joan Aguayo Planell sorry but weedle is the best
@@riiilllce-5415 yes weedle is super amazing
well you are the boring one here, how can entertaining meme build be boring mate
I thought this was a weedletwineedle video
i asked weedle about what titles go viral and he said "how to..." 😳😳😳
Sacred Sky Collab in the future!?
@@sacredsky lol
The title is 100% weedle but the thumbnail is 100% sacred
@@sacredsky was gonna say, got rlly confused bc the title was a Twineedle tile.
Im pretty sure that this video got recommended to every weedletwineedle sub.
Elo bandit made an assist spore team too
“Nasty Pulse”
BRUH, can that please be an actual thing?
That would totally be a Poison Type move 😂.
That exists like skarbliss
Nasty Pulse is Nasty plot+ dark pulse
So exists
That's a dope assist team, the background music complimented your voice really well and you sounded pretty comfortable. I fw these kinds of videos.
Priority spore?
Man you just found most annoying thing pokemon could have. Ever :D
Plus there is no sleeping clause:D
Well, electric terrain and misty terrain will stop it
We stan Pincurchin!
Priority Spore; the team
should put a defog mf there tho
Didn't WeedleTwineedle do this with Shiinotic in doubles?
I use a team with 5 spindas with assist, return, and contrary and one smeagal with bolt strike, superpower, dragon assent, and v create
Very gimmicky but can be very good
I don't think it's a very good idea to have return on the spindas.
Also, I don't see any situation in which you want to call bolt strike.
Just when I thought weedletwineedle went absolutely crazy with assist, then you introduce this. Very cool and surprisingly broken strat. Could sound moves be a problem as well?
yea bug buzz esp, but in the context of nat dex ag, thats pretty rare to find
@@sacredsky That's fair. Although, after seeing those galvantula, I wondered why they didn't go for the bug buzz. Probably wanted to set up webs.
Wait I get how Bug Buzz could be a problem since Bug is strong against Dark but why did you say sound? How is sound good against Prankster?
@@bleak3304 sound moves go through substitute
Prankster Spore: exists
*Zarude enters the chat*
You could also use scarfed smeargle with spore instead of amoonguss... that would get around dark types as smeargle can actually outspeed some stuff. And smeargle could actually have an attack move unlike amoonguss.
Obvs not in sword and shield, but in national dex.
Really enjoyed this commentary content! Keep it up!
I personally am a fan of these types of vids, but then again youre one of my favorite channels, so id be happy with most anything you post!
This was pretty enjoyable to watch chief. Keep it up, looking forward to more vids like these
I think Elo Bandit showcased this before, but it never hurts to spread the news :) Also, your Commentary is lovely
You can search it up as "Sporecat"
Glad u saw this potential in gen 8, I still remember seeing this on Eli bandit's channel a year or so ago and trying it out, noone is ready for it
Really liked this vid! Nice change of pace from the salt (which are alot of fun 2!) :)
Does this work in PokeMMO?
Laughs in vital spirit
I always knew liepard was good. Everyone was shitting on its competitive potential but her hidden power has never been exposed
Its really fun to watch tbh. But I prefer some of the just sit and watch types of vids. So make both types of vids? Haha
And then someone brings a grass type or overcoat mon lol.
Or vital spirit, etc.
The 4 tapus was imune to this strategy lol fini = misty surge koko = electric surge bulu = grass type lele = psyshic surge so no priority
yea for sure there are a good amount of counters, but in Nat Dex AG, atleast in the higher ladder, you rarely see the counters, and as long as the opponent doesn't have yveltal, its a free win
Or magic coat... People be sleeping on magic coat arceus
Dark Types, Magic bounce, Sap Sipper,Mach Punch, Tapu Koko, Grass Types...
That's why I always have ribombee
Grass Type: I’m about to end this mans whole career.
This is a dope team
14:36 Oh look, the overpriced aquarium fish. I wonder how much people are gonna get that reference.
Really cool strategy, looks really good!

That’s an incredible gimmick, in past gen’s there were similar tactics with snatch and this one, but they just cut those moves so it’s a little sad.
Yeah idk why they removed assist from gen 8
*liepard has been elevated to ubers*
Was the background music slowed down Nimbasa City O_O
Pokemon black&white's first route tried to remind us of this
Idk if you said it but Elo Bandit made a vid about this some months ago right?
I usually keep one grass, one dark, and one poison on my team to counter technical teams.
Very good video sir, keep it up
ok but damn that logical thinking was 👌
Hey thanks now I have to use something else then a milktank team
Take a shot every time he says "it just works"
Funny, definitively countered by many mons and inviable in OU, but very funny. I like this video idea. :D
nice vid man! try some live showdown too🎷
Sort of thing I could see weedle using, nice job coming up with this
Weedle did use this stat in the past
Great video
Works best in ag?
Dude this will wreck in battle spot singles
u right, you just need 3 mons for this strat, and the other 3 could be bluffs, like a bunch of fire and fighting mons to scare away any dark/crass types
Wait until he finds out about level 1 prankster purrloin
Im starting up a RUclips channel focused on 1v1, and am wondering where I could contact you to maybe schedule smth. Do you have a smogon I could post on, or is there a better way? Loving ur content as always, keep up the good work!
I saw your email in your about tab, is that a good place to contact you?
what you mean schedule something?
Dudeeee that should be ILLEGAL 😂 love it
So this is where that damn gimmick comes from
I need to create a counter to it .-.
easy, if the prankster mon is leading, switch to dark type, if not prankster, have a fast mon with taunt
Maybe if amoonguss is just death fodder it could run effect spore (it gets that right?)
I came up with this back in the gen 5 days on pokemon online. back then grass and dark types weren't immune to prankster spore so it worked a lot better. also worked in little cup if sleep clause was off.
Bruh I swear I just dropped of the rank in Ubers because of this set and I found it on ur channel.
Urshifu’s forme isnt shown on showdown or cartridge if i recall correctly
Elo bandit already showcased this gimmick
As the master of unscripted, you did pretty damn well bro
Someone used this one me damn...just a few minutes ago... and we faced twice randomly lol
You're my hero
Weedletwineedle wants to know your location..
Also preliked
I have been a victim of this strategy Before I wonder if u battled me?
Did they change which moves can be assisted or are they the same from gen7?
yes king! big weedletwineedle vibes 💘
However these commentary videos are very chill, I would love to see them more
on Amoongus, couldn't you have effect spore? like then using it as death fodder you could mess something up?
I WAS USING THIS IN AG BUT WITH CONTRARY SPINDA AND IT WA AMAZING
i did the same its sick
In ag you have a smergal with V create dragons acend superpower and spore or guillotine and 5 banded assist spinda with contrary.
You kill anything that doesn’t outspeed you
Grass/Infiltrador pokemons usage has upen to 101%
You didnt find this lol, its been around for years.
Doesnt work in sword and shield because
Assist got removed(what a surprise).
To go against grass pokemon Dark void, honeclaws, sub, night slash.
Yeah this strats been used in VGC quite a bit, but with dark pulse or Dive + Lagging Tail (Until they patched that out)
Thx for the help about that move ^^
good vid good vid good vid
ty ty
we need more like this
It isn't supposed to show you which Urshifu it is until Urshifu comes in.
Because of this, I have faced nothing but this exact team so many times. It is legit so annoying
This combo takes the "Evil" out of the type name does it
Damn I miss Assist
Potato.
Does assist Spore trigger sleep cause on smogon?
Bruh I just saw that same strategy yesterday in Nat Dex AG and my Volcarona kept waking up 1st turn and eventualy destroyed that cat haha
Omg I remember fighting this
You gotta see Assist Power Trip! WeedleTwineedle...
This works really well with meowstic too!
Wait, did I battle you yesterday? I had said something about having 2 giratinas.
I actually fought this team! I dunno if I fought you specifically, but I ended up in a battle against this exact team TWICE. I’m HoneyBeeTea on Showdown, by the way.
I swear to god Honey how could you.
At around 16:00 Against scarf ditto phantom force wins 1v1
I totally thought that was how you would sound
As soon as someone switches their sleeping pokemon this strat fails cause of sleep clause.
nice gimmick of liepard i really love that pokemon but be carefull of psychyc terrain because that can stop the prankster assist gimmick i think shinotic is much better than amongus but sadly is not in galar or i dont know if is at galar u.u but oh well
Shiinotic made it in chief
What ladder are you going to rank up on in generation 8? Assist is not an executable move.
Could Terrain Extender Xerneas ruin this team?
Ive already seen it with a meowstic but I guess this is better
I love watching Weedle’s second channel
I saw this team 4 times in a single hour so i decided to ask why they use this team, they showed me this video
Assist geomancy meowstick with stored power is also good
I loved the video and really enjoyed it so no hate. But I’m just saying that you didn’t find this strategy. It’s been around for a long time and you can find it everywhere if you search spore Liepard. It’s been covered by Elo Bandit in a gimmick review and other youtubers. And verlisify XD.
I like this type of video
You know WeedleTwineedle is gonna get on this, lmao.
I use breloom (instead of amogus)with focus punch for toxic spikes counter :)
I think i ran into u the other day my name was playerslayer798. I like the strat you put together real cool team😊
Nice
Ok Today I have met 28 people with this team. Plus, I've seen this video and know their strategy
inspired by elo bandit?
Could've added protect and nature power to Amoongus
