What do you guys think what's gonna get banned first cyclizar?, flutter mane?, chien pao? , terra? Something else? Team : pokepast.es/f6b17dfc50a0c7fc Discord in description
I don't think Cyclizar will get banned, it's honestly pretty lackluster, it's essentially a regenerator support Mon with good speed but it really lacks to bulk to pull it off successfully, and even if it did, Orthworm exists so there's already another Mon prepped to fill its niche
Man I love Baxcalibur. Such a simple design, looks like something from gen 1 or 2 which is nice even tho im not a genwunner. Its also a pretty fun Mon to use, and being immune to burn is a awesome trait to have
Baxcalibur in OU means my beloved Metagross will rise from RU and could potentially thrive in OU once again. It can switch into both of it's STABs and can tank them with its resistances and high defense. It'll be a good check.
I thought the same thing. They didn't try to over engineer him. I do wish he had one more spike toward the tip of it's tail and one on hl it's neck though.
man i was so happy seeing that meowscarada has protean as a ability, it was my favorite final form of the starters and i was worried that it would suck competitively but seeing them with protean is a good sign, i hope they are good, and even if it isn't at least i am sure it will be a good inclusion to have on a mono-grass team, not only that but having them complete a trio of starters of each type with protean/libero is nice to see,
@@dracomenace It's insane. Now you can predict dragon dance and stuff, add shed tail switch to that and every mid pokemon can basically be a counter at that point
Who cares the offensive powercreep is so nuts that you can just oneshot all the regenerator Pokemon. The average Pokemon of this gen are high ou or uber level if they where in gen 8, that's how much powercreep there is. The grass starter is literally stronger cinderace and is still average overall this gen.
A suggestion:- whenever you talk about a move try not to cover the bar since it blocks the move name so it sometimes gets difficult to check the new move.
There are so many dangerous mons outside Baxcalibur I took to using Iron Valiant, Booster Energy to speed and Swords Dance? It mows almost anything Also plenty more in there, all the starters even count
To be fair Baxcalibur has quite a simple yet super effective strat, while I'm a really big Goji fan I can't deny that I don't like its desing that much
@@dracomenace Lol, that thing it scares me, seriously they are just a few ways to stop Bax Lucky we are that Baxcalibur has several counters on this gen
Go with icicle spear instead of icicle crash, spear does more damage in general if you can get all the hits in, you can also give him loaded dice for consistency, corviknight gets 2 shot with +1 loaded dice icicle spear. And can go through substitute for just being a multi hit move, in general icicle spear is much scarier with loaded dice although stealth rocks are gonna be annoying
Removing heavy duty boots in a heavy hazard influenced meta is a BIG NO for ice types . Moreover icicle crash gives more consistent damage while also heaving a good 30% of flinch rate which changes games
@@dracomenace I guess I'll continue using icicle spear because that damage is certainly useful, the hazards stuff certainly annoying but I'll try him with or without loaded dice, because being able to kill corviknight in 2 hits is much better than waiting for that flinch
@@dracomenace well without loaded dice ye but if you're able to wish heal it or rapid spin or defog the hazards away you're able to put work, I suggest scream, flutter or umbreon as the wish pokemon, either that or use slowking with the chilly reception move or grimsnarl dual screens, I think screens works best, baxcalibur is already fast enough to outspeed important pokemon except boosted speed flutter unless you can predict his sub calm mind set, but 80 speed is already good enough to outspeed majority of the cast. Look at rillaboom 70 speed is the bare minimum for a tank pokemon
@@dracomenace oh yeah turns out loaded dice gives you 4 guaranteed icicle spears and if you're lucky a 5th, so icicle spear is now a base 100 move, and if you get the 5th 125, and it 2 shots corviknight after a +1 with the 4 spears, and 1 shots corviknight with +2.
What do you guys think what's gonna get banned first cyclizar?, flutter mane?, chien pao? , terra? Something else?

I think flutter, as compared to the other two
I'd say most things that rely on booster energy might get banned
I don't think Cyclizar will get banned, it's honestly pretty lackluster, it's essentially a regenerator support Mon with good speed but it really lacks to bulk to pull it off successfully, and even if it did, Orthworm exists so there's already another Mon prepped to fill its niche
@@outtaideas849 orthworm at least doesn't have regenerator to keep pumping out sub passes and is slow
I think chien pao is way more op in a competitive setting. His ability is just too good.

@@AlexsaurusRex I wish it had two spikes on the back instead of one
@@dracomenace there's always mega evolution T^T
Every time you send out Baxcalibur, Play a Godzilla roar!!! Lol
LoL, should have thought of that

6:10 People who play National Dex AG: *Kars Laugh*
4:21 gotta try that mon. Even for a crit in sun that's just too much
Seriously, it is a must have mon in a sun team
Chi yu is monstrous that ability is devious
Baxcalibur gangsta til mirror herb revaroom starts to SPIN OUT
Lmao, I forgot this item exist gotta try it
@@dracomenace It's insane. Now you can predict dragon dance and stuff, add shed tail switch to that and every mid pokemon can basically be a counter at that point
wait, so regenerator wasn't nerfed? oh for god's sake
They said that the abilities ingame description is the same but they haven't tried it ingame
Instead they nerfed everything else about the Slow Twins and Toxapex 😂

All these new paldea mons make some of the monsters from Galar look like jokes. The power creep 😭
Paradox forms brought much more power creep than ultra beasts
This new mon seems great, wonder how it would be countered
Bulky steels will be able to, I think it has EQ tho
@@dracomenace Yeh it does i use eq to counter
@@dracomenace yo, how am i supposed to select what terra type i want on my mons
@@l1ght463 You can do it in the options where you change your pokemon gender
6:03 I think it's Rapid Spin + Poison Powder
You mean the 1 layer of spike right?
Btw loaded dice baxicalibur with icicle spear is very broken a base 100-125 power move+dragon dance
I might try that
It's funny that this is literally a mini black kyraum yet it is probably average in power compare to some of the other new things they added
It is actually a weaker black kyurem but with actual better stab moves, kyu would love to have a signature dragon move like bax has
@@dracomenace moves effect damage way more then attack stats but I did say mini black kyraum.
A suggestion:- whenever you talk about a move try not to cover the bar since it blocks the move name so it sometimes gets difficult to check the new move.
Oh, I'll make sure about that next time
Imagine playing stall in S/V 💀

Wait I have seen that team did I play you?
What was your team and name on showdown, I may have a replay
@@dracomenace i had a pawmot, cyclizar, the one with a utensil for a head, 2 legged cat, mega charizard x wannabe and luvdisk evo
@@radvil I remember fighting pawmot and it was the only one I fought
Bax is definitely an Uber mon
What do you think on iron moth?
Pretty mid atm, of it had quiver dance it might be broken
Also the water psychic fish with sharpness ability
@@Kure1i That seems fun
I climbed ladder fast in 2 days 1700 with Last respects + Baxcalibur, it was great run.
try using quaquaval, please
Yeahhhh it’s def getting banned in ou
what elo are you on? I may have fought against you lmao
I laddered with this team till late 1400s about 2 days ago
@@dracomenace did you face someone using a sun team with a brute amoonggus?
@@Schwiwi I did fight a brute amoongus but don't remember whether it was in sun or not
Make a mouse team next bro!
Maushold gonna have a field day
Gen 9 have VERY GOOD POKEMONS IN GENERAL! DUDUSNPARCE, FARIGIRAF, ALL PARADOX POKEMONS, LEGENDARYS, PSEUDO-LEGENDARIES, ETC... THIS IS AMAZING GEN.
Honestly the most poorly designed but still pretty good
I wish there was a bit more detail to but I don’t hate it either
True, I'm not a fan of it's design either
@@dracomenace if it was a random 3 evo I would accept and go it is what it is
And yet again, another dragon pseudo. No hate here, just wish we get more non dragon pseudo legendaries.
True, a non dragon psuedo would be good for a change
At least we have Metagross n Ttar
@@laterferaligatr2947 only two, and one of them has a 4x weakness
i mean atleast its also ice, the ice type definitely appreciates to have a new and strong mon
slaking is batter
Laziest and most rushed pseudo ive ever seen.
