- In this video, I try out the team that finished 18th in the February ranked season! This team was built by Snow, who was a semi-finalist at the 2017 World Championships and one of the best players from Japan. It features a unique duo in Sableye and Bulk Up Ceruledge!

Hey guys, I'm here to watch Aaron "Cybertron" Zheng with another episode of Road to Ranked. Where he climbs the online Series 2 VGC ladder in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, providing live commentary as he goes. In this video, I will watch him try out a team featuring Light Clay Sableye and Bulk Up Leftovers Ceruledge. As always, I will watch him do a quick breakdown of the team. But I will not skip quick to the battles by checking the timestamps down below because I will watch the full video. Thank you so much for always making videos. I enjoyed, so I will appreciate by leaving a like and subscribing to help out a ton. Anyways, let's get started.
Lol these comments are always gold
Aaron Cybertron Zheng here* lol
Goat comment
@@xlilraphxTell me you didn't read the whole thing, without telling me you did not read the whole thing.
I love this coz I say it outloud with him 😂
Always glad to see sableye get used. Love that little gremlin guy, so cute.
Ceruledge kinda looks like his big brother too!
Hopefully they give it an evolution or something even though it got a mega
But i have a feeling that it's not gonna happen
The first game was an insane showcase. Definetly trying this team on the ladder tomorrow!
That was a complete shutdown my god
Aaron was looking particularly angelic today with the soft lighting, haha
Thank you for your hard work this season as always! ^^
Finally people are catching onto this Sableye set. I’ve been using it for a while now. Screen teams should center around bulk. No need to try and outpace your opponent. I would drop bundle and flutter for bulkier mons like Gastrodon, iron hands, corviknight, or even sylveon. Also, Sableye is already so passive, I found it best not to run another passive mon like Amoongus on the same team.
Encoring an opponents water move on or after a gastrodon switch in is a lot of fun!
im swapping flutter for gastrodon but what should i swap amoongus for?
@@romanperez7687drop iron bundle for gastrodon, drop amoongus for iron hands, and I’d probably drop flutter for something like Corviknight
@@mattoz7662 ok ill try that out
Perfect timing
Ikr😊
I don’t get it 😅
QOTD: My favorite Ghost type pokemon is Shedinja! It's not only a super hilarious gimmick with its ability that leads to some hilarious nonsense, but it's also just a really cool design, visually, how you obtain it in-game, and the basic concept of this shed husk that gets back up from the ground and starts moving around. Overall it's just super cool and I like it!
Also, the meme of Air Balloon Shedinja with Tera Electric is fantastic. Not usable in game right now (Or probably ever, I doubt they'd allow Shedinja in Scarlet/Violet with how Tera is set up.) but just the concept of it is hilarious.
Oricorio, Sensu Style
Ice Tera Type has worked great this season. Not a lot of people except it and underestimate it.
That first game was absolutely brutal for the opponent! I gotta check this joint out
Great battles! Love seeing the viability of Pokemon with overall low base stats, like Sableye. Really proves that team building and strategy can hold its own - thanks for sharing, Aaron!
Sableye!! My favorite Pokemon! I'm so glad to see you made a video showing off some of his strengths. Thank you so much!
Yay, it's Ceruledge! So excited for this video. Watching now :)
This seems a lot like a team Wolfe would've used back in the day, I absolutely adore this TakeAwayTheirOptions-style of teambuilding
" take away their options" style
Your videos are awesome, really appreciate the detailed explanation and timestamps!
Those second and third games were incredible.
Love the visualization to see the path to victory in the 2nd game, not to mention following through with the plan. And I don't know how in the world you're supposed to come back from feint Maushold / Glimmora. That was a nasty combo.
love sableye might try this team out seems fun!! love these videos on my lunch - helps me destress if had bad morning!
By far my favorite team I've seen you use in scarlet violet. Ceruledge is new to me, and I'm in love with it and that bitterblade, physical fire move is badass. Sableye is my hunyboo from emerald to this day, and who doesn't like dragonite? This team is awesome and Id forsure use it!!
Part of the reason I love your vids is the Eterna Forest theme in the intro. Gotta be one of my favorite songs in the series.
Really cool vid! Your explanations are really thorough and informative but also engaging. I always like your vids of fun strategies such as these or ones which feature an uncommon pokemon like the latest vid featuring the Grumpig team. Your vids are a huge reason for me buying a switch lite a couple months ago and getting into competitive Pokemon, thank you so much for that!
QOTD: Banette lol
I play a lot of Hoenn, and so getting one for the final spot on the team at mount pyre is always nostalgic. I’ve also decided to try it competitively, as it actually hits quite hard with choice band and can move first with priority despite being pretty slow. Also, though cursed body is good and all, with frisk Banette can actually gain information to help get value out of its knock off and trick. So far I’ve got it to great ball 8.
Thank you for turning the volume up 🙂
My favorite gen 9 is Ceruledge. I want to use Ceruledge in doubles but he is not meta so this video is very interesting cant wait to try it.
Yea Ceruledge is a solid A+ in singles for me but doubles is more team dependent. The sableye here makes it pretty awesome
Excellent team, just having a good ceruledge set on show is nice. The encore disable is always a killer support strat for any team.
i was in ultra ball limbo, when an opponent used this team... thanks to you covering this team i was able to know what to expect :)
Thank you so much for sharing these teams hahah they’re murderous to face when you don’t know
I've been using Sableye since your Toxtricity boomburst video.
Quash is my saving grace in so many situations
That team by the opponent with Grimoire is very impressive. Good team to see, Sableye is my favorite prankster.
Best birthday present ever. Some Cybertron content!
Happy birthday man!
@@CybertronVGC thank you 😊💞
Hey it would be amazing to see u testing the wind team with bramble ghast from weedle tweenedle it's incredibly creative and I wonder how good it is for competitive
Sableye is my personal favorite prankster, I just think he’s neat. Great showcase Aaron
Awesome to get to watch a video a work :)
Tried this team and I really love it
I spent so much time building a strong Ceruledge team, and now I'm convinced I found a hidden "Ceruledge core".
Not only my team, but also this team and even those we saw at Knoxville have this exact same structure:
-Flutter+Dragon (dnite/chomp) for damage outpace.
-Bundle to improve vs Arca, Dondozo and rain.
-Amoonguss/Maushold (the first to bait tera grass, the second for shadowball mindgames).
-Something annoying/disruptive in terms of pacing. Grimmsnarl is fine, or even Corviknight if you have Garchomp.
And apparently Sableye as well lol
How is that Glimora trained? I would love to see a video where you cover a team with it cause it’s by far my most favorite Pokémon from this gen. Especially the shiny version
Hey Aaron! I recently got into competitive Pokémon again after years and I'm loving your team breakdowns! I'm learning and relearning things again.
Btw, is Sableye strictly the best dual screen setter for Cerulegde or I could use other Pokémon like Grimmsnarl or an Aurora Veil setter?
What a cool team! My favorite ghosts are Duskull, Mismagius and Genar (mega Gengar looks so cool)
Finally, ceruledge was featured by Aaron! Ceruledge is my fave pokemon for this gen. A grass tera is also good to make it more defensive against rain team.
Love this team dude! It was awesome to get a picture with you at Knoxville Regionals!
Pleasure to meet you in person man, amazing music taste :)
Question. Do you only feature teams that made it in the spotlight of some sorts? Like 1st place in some tournament or just a high ranking?
your knowledge inspired me to start training to be a dark type trainer and make content aswell , one day ill get to be ranked on the ladder master ball 🔥🤟🏼
Just a few minutes after watching this video I faced the rental on my match before hitting Master Ball this season. The double edged sword of these showcases if your opponent happens to also see the video lol. So thanks for the assist getting me into Master Ball in that sense!
QOTD: I absolutely adore Trevenant, my favorite ghost-type Pokémon! Its design, both in its regular and shiny form, is stunning. Additionally, I find Phantump's design and shiny form equally captivating. What's more, I'm particularly fond of Trevenant's abilities, Harvest and Natural Cure, as they perfectly complement its nature as the 'Elder Tree Pokemon'.
Awesome can’t wait to try this team out. Last one I was able to win 10 games in a row and get myself back a positive win record 🎉
Aaron what is the black white and gold album cover in the top corner of your collage??? I can’t tell it’s killing me
Can you use rental code teams in regular link battle mode or can they only be used in ranked and casual modes online?
I literally just played against 2 of these on ladder before I saw this notification... makes sense now 😅 Ceruledge was a pain but luckily pivoting Arcanine and positioning Haze Palafin correctly won me the games but jheeeeze this was unexpected😅
I am watching this as I prepare myself to play Pokemon with it's latest version. Been waiting for this day to come. Still waiting for my Pokemon Violet order tho hehe.
too bad this team does not have flamigo or psych up medicham once that ceruledge is already stacked with bulk ups. great vid aaron!
Could you replace light screen or reflect with mean look? Then you could disable, encore, and then mean look to potentially trap them? Or maybe pair it with shadow tag goth?
I used Armarouge a lot and had success with it, but I prefer Ceruledge’s design. Looking forward to try this team with it! Definately one of the best designed Gen 9 Pokemon. Bitter Blade is pretty cool for it to basically get a physical fire type Giga drain.
QOTD : Gengar ! I also love Giratina and Gholdengo
In game 2 would you have considered Disabling wild charge instead ? And forcing them to click drain punch into 3 ghost ?
This looks like a very fun team
Loving the long videos.
Hey Aaron, you make lots of teams on Scarlett and violet, how do you get enough resources to change the terra types of all your mons
As always your RtR content is 🔥. I'd love to see some OTS content too if you can fit it in to see how the approach changes. Since the OTS tournaments started, in-game ladder feels like particularly bad practice for actual VGC events. Maybe some showdown laddering and hoping opponents accept OTS? Or OTS bo3 matches with friends/other competitive players? I especially feel like idk how to approach team preview in OTS, I feel like it's so hard to read and absorb everything on their sheet fast enough to make a good decision for what mons to bring.
I found this team used in another video too. It's so similar to the team I've been using except I created it more with anti-setup strategy and it seemed like bulky Ceruledge works well into Paradox mons. My Ceruledge is Grass Tera Blast with Life Orb, and Sableye has Snarl/WoW instead of screens. Snarl is spammable into Indeedee/Armarouge. WoW can be used on your own Cerulege to trigger Flash Fire if Sableye really has nothing better to do.
If they’re not gonna bring back megas anymore than they really should add some of the stat buffs that some of the pokemon got with it like Sableye. It really needs more defenses
I don't see how the absence of megas means you should buff pokemon that had mega evolutions. Access to those stats cost an item slot and you could only have 1 per battle.... Just buffing them for that would be crazy. Like why should they give Tyranitar more stats? Not to mention Mega Sableye functioned a lot differently then Sableye because of the ability change.
I would agree tho that some of the pokemon that happened to get megas deserve base stat total buffs. I don't understand why Sableye and its Ruby counterpart Mawile have lower BST then Butterfree
@@plutigvid They could've been regular evolutions easily. Megas cucked shitmons like Sableye forever.
@@MrShadowThief Yeah I think evolutions would have been a better fix for the poor guys. It's a shame Altaria will never be usable :(
I literally thought of this strategy and now it’s famous
Would you ever consider piloting another monotype team like with the snow team? I just think they’re so fun
How do you change the playing court/field to the beach?
15:16 BARS
Having some sort of counter play to terrain would be good on this team, even taking specs of flutter main and giving it misty terrain could work.
is there a website that keeps tracks of team ranking based by seasons?
What's the advantage of steel tera on Amoomgus other than against psychic types? Keeping is weakness to fire seems a bit odd to me, with so many strong fire types running around
Is grass Tera better on this cereuledge or should we keep steel Tera
Pretty Kool team disable goes crazy this gen
Yes! A Sableye team!
Hard to beat Gengar, knocked it our of the park as far as Pokémon design and is still relevant competitively today unlike many 1st gen Pokémon
The goat is back
QOTD: Ceruldedge is quickly becoming one of my favorites this ranked season. I've been seeing quite a few of them on the ladder too. I am hoping it can still find a place after the ruin Pokemon become legal. It does get Close Combat, so maybe??
It’ll honestly feel really strong on Chien Pao teams and Chi Yu teams, Chien Pao softening physical defenses for it and Chi Yu because you’re most likely running Sun on those teams which Bitter Blade will love.
Would you think possibly adding Ice Spinner to Dragoniite and changing Tera to Normal for the normal + Espeed help in the trick room team match ups?
Ive been running a similar team with success. Similar ceruledge except with Tera grass and safety goggles, similar amoongus including clear smog and iron bundle as well. I have a supportive tyranitar with lum berry rockslide, crunch, helping hand and taunt, ancient donphan with sash, standard set, and a gastrodon Tera poison sludgebomb, chilling water, ice beam and recover. It’s super effective and largely unpredictable. Lead fire types struggle, indeedee armarouge loses, dondozo is playable, and perish trap rarely works. The biggest weakness from my experience is boosting dark/dragons, so ancient salamence, garchomp, or even an offensive hydreigon if you lead poorly
How do you check how many turns disable has left?
QoTD: My favourite ghost.. Rotom, it's cute and whimsical, and has the neat gimmick of haunting household appliances
Wow that third game, that's a crazy cool team on the other side
How would I add speed control to something like this?
QOTD: that is definitely a tough one. so many amazing Ghost types with really cool design.
here are my 3 favs: Spiritomb, Chandelure and Cofagrigus
I’m confused about the turn you did sableye reflect instead of like disable? Does psychic terrain not let you do any moves like that? I’m confused what was bad about going for a disable there?
The ability 'Prankster' that Sableye has gives priority to status moves.
Psychic terrain stops 'priority moves'.
So he used Reflect to not show his hand ;)
Epic team
QOTD: Tough one because Ghost is my favorite type. So many good choices. I do have a new favorite since Gen 9 is here, though, and that's Skeledirge. It has such a cool inspiration and signature move that's gonna take some real work on part of the design team to top. Super fun to use in both VGC and Singles, too.
Banettes my favourite ghost, it might not be the best but it's cute with cool lore
Can you talk about your music wall?
I bet the Glimmora team trainer was Santino Tarquinio, who won the 2020 Player's Cup. The team he built for that tournament was probably my favorite team in all of Sword and Shield, with a Wide Lens Weavile that also had Feint. I'd be really surprised if it wasn't the same Santino here because his team was awesome and he played out of his mind.
So close to 200k!
If you know that Glimmora Maushold team I would love to see it featured by you!
Game 3 you have to find and use that team. Feint mouse is cracked
Frosslass has always been one of my favorite ghost types
The Glim + Maushold lead was Santino, who recenly achieved Rank 1 with that team 😊
Ceruledge is super dope!!
QOTD: that's tough, there are so many good ghosts. I would probably say Shedinja, while I do not expect it to show up in the current gen ever I just think its design, evolution method, and gimmick are all really neat. Second place probably goes to Mismagius, just because the big witch hat look is great.
You can change now the battlefield?
Game 3: I think the safest time to switch Sableye out was Turn 2 instead of Reflect. The chance they'd target that slot was as close to 0 as possible. Not sure it is the right play, but definitely an option.
Is the paldea online competition open team sheets or closed team sheets?
It’s online! So closed
I’m curretly playing Ceruledge in the exact same way, just the spread isn’t the same and i playing with Klefki dual screens. I’m reach to 152th on ladder with this guys and i think it’s really strong. Ceruledge being my fav mon in this gen I’m very happy
QotD: For both personal reasons and competitive, Mimikyu. It's really underrated in best of one CSF. You can run it as support, attack, special attack, or a combination.
That sableye is wild
I'm using this team and i reached High positions very solid team ,maybe gholdengo e roaring Moon Is a bad mu autoloss but it's very strong against almost the majority of the teams
Qotd: Gourgeist definitely my favorite, I feel it's an S tier design. Being ghost and grass but also a Jack o lantern is sooo good. Golurk a close second
I love Feint it’s like hoho you thought you were safe not this turn friend
I think sableye is my favorite ghost type, I’ve even debated getting a small mega sableye tattoo
Gengar has got to be my favorite ghost type Pokémon.
Wait were you the one walking around with the giant piplup in Knox?!
