    Has anyone seen "Hey guys Aaron 'Cybertron' Zheng here"? The last I heard of him he was climbing the online Series 2 VGC ladder in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and provided live commentary as he went. In the last episode he featured a team centered around Lilligant and Torkoal and I was worried about him. If anyone has any details, please let me know! 🙏

    One of the interesting interactions for the glimmora mirror is that if mortal spin activates the opponent's toxic debris, it will still clear the toxic spikes even though they technically get set after the move is used. So if you want to poison the opposing glimmora's partner you can do so without worrying about the incoming spikes

    QOTD: "The Pokemon is frightened," meaning that it will switch out whenever dealt damage by an attack. You could even give your own Intimidate/Fake Out user this condition to cause lots of mischief if you wanted to.

    Hi Aaron!! I just want to thank you for making such great quality content. I've been watching every upload for the last 1.5 years but just started on the ranked ladder this year and got to top 100 on master ball using your pelipper and dreadnaw team!! I can't believe how much I've learned from your videos. I played a few online games as a kid and was so frustrated because I didn't understand the competitive scene and got my butt whooped. I've been having so much fun playing online now that I've gained tons more knowledge from your videos. I hope you continue to enjoy what you do and it brings you lots of happiness. :) Thank you

    If the pokemon is Stunned, they can't move until they are hit by an attacking move. Lasts 2 turns. Ally can remove Stunned effect.

  • @randallroyall7684

    @kyleryan2195 Год назад +3

    QoTD: If they refuse to put in frostbite then I think a dark type status condition that acts like frostbite could be cool. I picked dark type specifically because special attacks are more of a mental, magic kind of attack and dark types give the feel of using trick to cause mental anguish, therefore reducing HP by 1/12 like burn and halving special attack. The same status but ghost type could be cool too as a kind of “curse” status without actually being… well… curse.

    @delibird3505 Год назад

    Its great to see so much variety when it comes to Vgc, I love it! Thank you for always making great content Aaron! If I made a new status, I would make one that would slowly heal the pokemon with the status, but attacks it takes would deal extra damage. Could make some nice strategies!

  • @TZ587
    @TZ587 Год назад +2

    An interesting new condition could be 'terrified' where your speed is doubled but your offensive stats are 1/4 for 2 or 3 turns. It has enough downsides (crippling opposing sweepers, negating TR) but also can be used to your advantage (on a slow mon, blocking other status etc.), and you can have abilities (new, e.g. Fearless or existing, e.g. Steadfast) or types (Fighting types due to their discipline) that counter it

  • @steegen101
    @steegen101 Год назад +1

    Oooh, fun QOTD!! I'd love a mental status condition that lowers the afflicted Pokemon's Special Attack. But the twist is, if they use a Special move of the same type as the current terrain, it gets a boost.
    Yes, it'd buff Indeedee+Armorouge even more, but it extremely restricts coverage move options, which could lead to some really creative techs. If we're creating a problem, the solution should be really imaginative and open-ended :)

    I'll have to give this team a shot. I really like Glimmora but as a player I've struggled to utilize it properly. I also really like the Rest set on Dondozo as it's also very strong into other teams with Glimmora.
    QOTD: Hm... most of the bases are covered with already existing ailments. A fair amount of players I think would like a kind of Frostbite status that's like getting burned but halves damage done with Special moves instead of Physical ones.
    As for a more original thought from me, I present: Disease.
    Disease, once inflicted, gives a decrease in both offensive stats by 25%. This is the same as having both Tablets of Ruin and Vessel of Ruin effects simultaneously. Disease has a 25% chance to go away at the end of every turn.
    Similarly I also present Virus, which is the same as Disease but for Defensive stats.

  • @neri1220
    @neri1220 Год назад +1

    QOTD: I would make Rust status effect, wich would decrease defense just like Burn decreases attack and it will also take 1/16th of hp every turn. The effect would be water type and water types would be immune to it. It could be introduced togather with new water move that is supereffective on steel types (because water types are strong against rock types due to existance of erosion while this would be strong because of corrosion).
    And i know ability Corrosion exist but it's different and must i say dissapointing (It should allow steel types to be hit by poison moves not just for Toxic or Poison Gas to be used against them). But that's a side note. Point is i think Rust effect should be related to water types because it's the water that causes rust on steel.
    And why defense and not sp.def? Well i would prefer sp.def to be decreased because i do like special attacking water types BUT i feel like it would be healthier for the game to make this a counterpart to burn (Say the enemy got you burned and decreased your Att but you managed to cause rust effect on them so your attack effectiveness is back to neutral against that opponent).

    Also QOTD: Some kind of status condition that halves special attack. My first thought would be modify toxic to do this, but it could be cool to have something like a water based condition similar to the after effects of Blastoise's G-Max move where you get damage chip from being drenched in water while spat is halved as an opposite to burn and halved attack

    @furretturret Год назад

    QOTD: Bravery Network Online has a few cool takes on statuses, and I particularly like how they handle being trapped; you *can* still switch out, but if you do, you take I think it's 50% max HP in damage. They do a number of things like that which still inject a trade-off to certain actions but that can be played around.
    There's also a little early access game called Pixels which has a Mesmerize status, which is just confusion but instead of hurting yourself you give the other player a random item. I just like that because I always like thief skills in RPGs :3

    QoTD: when abillities such as dazzling or queenly majesty appeared in the game I immediately thought about a 'heavy' status condition that prevents priority moves to have any effect. At least having it as a signature move side effect like thousand arrows ignoring levitate/flying type could be interesting.

    @jerry-zz8xo Год назад

    QOTD: I wanted a "Cursed" status that's mainly based on Ghost types but I feel like Will-O-Wisp/Burn kinda overlaps with the concept. The bug typing needs a LOT of buffs and most of them have been used as utility in the past so a "Stung" status might help? 1/3 of damage as recoil whenever the Stung Pokemon uses a damaging move.

    - Anxious: Delayed force switch (Roar but with Yawn mechanic)
    - Martyr: Will take a percentage of damage that your ally would have taken (Follow Me but doesn't necessarily redirect and multi-turn)

    • @ThePorousOnion
      @ThePorousOnion Год назад

    QOTD: Borrowing from Dungeons and Dragons type of status conditions, an interesting one could be some kind of “bloodlust”, where the trainer loses control of their pokemon. Move and target would be randomized for two turns, like outrage, except your own pokemon could be targeted.
    Honestly sounds completely broken, but it would be interesting if they tried it.

    I'm not sure what it would be called, but I think a status condition that basically added some recoil to the pokemon's moves for a few turns would be neat, maybe it would replace the confused status, because confusion just being completely useless half the time is kinda lame.

  • @ThePorousOnion
    @ThePorousOnion Год назад

    QOTD: So if taunt forces attacks, what if there was a status that forces a more defensive approach? Especially as most games are decided in 5 turns or less these days (more or less), it would be interesting to have a status akin to confusion, but that guarantees you can do a non-attacking move (protect, will-o-wisp, whatever), but lowers the chance that your pokemon will attack if wants. So 100% chance to do a non-attacking move, 50% chance to attack. Obviously this is probably broken and would turn pokemon into coin flipping :)

  • @gforcepkmn9339

      One layer of toxic spikes inflicts poisoned, which takes a set chunk of health every turn from the opponent. Two layers of toxic spikes inflicts badly poisoned (akin to the effect from the move toxic) which makes it so that the opponent takes an increasing amount of poison damage every turn. If you can stall, badly poisoned will ultimately ramp up to a very significant amount of damage.
