Araquanid is BACK, & It's Secretly OP 

I use these videos to get some spicy teams compiled before the next time I visit my brother. He lives 2000 miles away, so I only visit him every once in a while, and surprising him with these matchups is going to absolutely make my day! Keep the wonderful ideas flowing.

I'll always remember the hilarious contrast in Araquanid's Pokedex entries in Sun/Moon. The former claims it straight up drowns smaller Pokemon in its bubble, while the latter offers Araquanid is caring and uses the bubble to protect weaker Pokemon.

I've always liked Araquanid, it hits so surprisingly hard

It can also be ran with assault vest which is what I did gen 7 and it did well. That being said the moveset was liquidation leech life poison jab and mirror shot for special attackers

Araquanid went to that beach to kick names and chew ass, and he’s all out of bubblegum

Water/bug type is so cool. (Two of my favorite types)

I remember using this fella in the Gen 7 days and always felt like Spidey boy is underrated. Water Bubble is such an incredible ability and Sticky Webs is fantastic support! Plus that Special D. bulk know what I'm saying!

I've been trying to tell people about the ABSOLUTE TERROR that is offensive Araqanid with water bubble since it came out with Sun and Moon. Thank you for showcasing its underrated power 💪🏾 Also, day 3 of asking Haydunn for doubles content 👀

an amazing pokemon that definitely deserves its time in the spotlight! Love the vids

Completely agree; Araquanid is underrated. It's a good special wall and it sets up sticky webs.

Really enjoying seeing more than one match in a single video. Love the content!

Love the fact that you do 2 battles now in your vids! ❤

Loving the 2 battles in 1💙content has been top tier as always. Keep up the good work :)

Man I love these videos, having the full video along with the shorts is brilliant. I do wish you could post the builds for these Pokémon or a link in the description.

Congrats to the 300k subs, you deserve it more then we deserve your amazing content and comeback

Yessss love Araquanid. I know it’s not in this DLC but did you ever do Houndoom? I feel like no one ever talks about best boy Houndoom

This video was absolutely great! It's really nice to see two players that play well against each other; in a way the stakes are higher, and clearly the intellectual level of play is higher as well. I like that, more of it!!

I used to love running this thing back in the Sun and Moon days. Glad to have it back and still be wrecking things 7 years later

I always forget just how cool shiny Rampardos looks

loving the longer content recently!!! just wondering, why run mold breaker over sheer force for rampardos?

Much respect for Torkoal. After abusing gen2 in my childhood, I gave emerald a go and was surprised by how tough Torkoal was. Loved the difficulty increase

I like the double videos. Helps show the utility of the mon

Congrats man on 300k. Always provide

Love to see a video about your favorite pokemon to use competitively

Loving the double games!

Caught a shiny one and used it in my playthrough of the dlc, unbelievable tanky and solid attack for a tank. Ran it with substitute, leech life, liquidation and infestation along with leftovers, great mon

Kingambit disrespected Rampados Took its Earthquake while sitting down, stared at the T.rex like "Boi" ✋🏾 and chopped the T.rex into fillet salmon 😂😂😂

God I love your nicknames, so much better than any I've had before 🤣

You’re so great Haydunn and I pray you keep making Pokémon content

I waited over an hour for League for this video. You better get a bag for it

Did your PokeDoku this morning, it rocked

Double vids going crazy!

A shinny araquanid looks like Metroid Prime

Good videos. Keep them up as much as you can

Love the shiny flygon, was my first shiny in emerald! Great seeing it

Always loved Araquanid during the Sun and Moon era! Happy having him as part of my team. 😁

my wishes are being fulfilled two matches a video thanks broski🤟🏾

Yo i've been running this with Primarina in doubles Araquanid gets entrainment so you give primarina water bubble + araq gets wide guard to protect from the surf spam + counters flutter with it Also you could switch Prim with Ursh and you remove the unseen fist but surging strikes with water bubble hits like arceus on drugs plus you cant get burned

Could you show us Breloom next? One of my personal favorites, Technician-loaded dice-grass tera Breloom is a monster. Double stab and technician buffs the 25 base power bullet seed to an astounding 75, and loaded dice makes it hit 4-5 times. It's practically a 300-375 base power move with that combo, which pairs perfectly with his ridiculous 130 base attack.

I used to use water boi in my usum playthrough I'm glad he's getting some love

Love watching you shaft OU pokemon

Glad to see you doing well my dude :)

I have an idea that might be a bit of a stretch. But do you think in doubles or against the right attacker, you could use power split to help increase his attack stat. For example, throw out slaking and araquanid, power split slacking to distribute attack, and then araquanid can hit even harder 😊

Tera water held item mystic water plus water bubble boosted liquidation....I had a whole team setup with movie and held items/abilities to boost them. The team was regidrago, Araquanid, Dhelmise, Sylveon, Bombirdier, and Aurorus. It was a fun gimmick team.

Happy I just got a shiny one yesterday. What's the recommended EV spread?

Guys Meganium is buffed. TRAILBLAZE + SWORDANCE

Thanks for the double upload!! ❤❤ Have a great week everybody

thank you so much for this video! I love araquanid so much despite its stats not being the best

Love the new 2 match format!!

I love Rampardos, its my favorite fossil.

nearly spat out my drink with the nicknames loll 😅 Especially the Frosslass's

I love your videos! Is it possible to use one of the eeveelutions in the future? I just think that they’re cool

I comment about a band liquidation tera water araquanid a few days ago and today he's the MVP of your match :D. Very fun to use, isn't it?

What are your thoughts on Registeel? Ive been getting surprise sweeps with a tera ghost, body press, shadow claw, curse, and rest/ chesto berry set lol

I love Destiny Bond with Avalanche on Froslass

The endure custap Berry Araquanid puts in wrk too, caught me off guard today on BSS😅...nice mon doh

Not me having to google False Surrender, lol. Btw, it's an 80 bp dark type version of aerial ace, exclusive to the grimsnarl line

Damn this is what my first random shiny was when I first played SwSh, didn’t know he was built like dat

that switch to Flygon was siiiiiiiiick

I'm a simple guy. I see a Haydunn video, I watch it.

I'd love to see the choice band spider with some Trick Room support

It's so much more fun to watch these teams with unusual mons rather than an team full meta game

The crit on the creme was OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!! 😂

Assault vest set might be good

Choice Band Araquanid has been one of my favorite Pokémon to lead with during the last few weeks. People are never prepared for the high damage Liquidation, it's so funny

They look so scary swimming around tho

You, Pimpnite, and JustWeavile are the real underrated GOAT’s

Think you could do anything with Sandslash? It has been a personal favorite of mine since gen 1.

I appreciate the use of frank reynolds “ so I started blasting” line

Old dewp steady dripping

Do you use Pokemon Home to store all your trained competitive mons across generations? :)

Tuocannon takes a ball।to the face and dies 😂 F'in hilarious.

I did the battle tree super modes to 50 rounds with araquanid, i hate spiders but i love araquanid! 😂, water bubble adds so much value to an otherwise low attack pokemon, it has decent defence! Tho i always struggled chosing how to spread the evs... always max in attack, but never could decide to either put max on defence or mix between hp and defence -_-, hp came with the upside of sp also getting more value but then defence would be low

This is one of the coolest designed Pokemon, and on top of that they gave it a badass shiny.

I'm so ready for you to wreak havoc in draft league

I remember my good ol Totem Araquinid from ultra sun/moon named sock. Good times lol

Cant believe i have been subbed to haydunn for like 10 years lol

If you take sets from other, I ran back in Gen VII, An AV set, 252 attack adamant, 200 spdef and 56 def. Leech Life, Mirror Coat, Poston jab and Liquidation for attacks and this below shows that AV power 252 SpA Choice Specs Tapu Koko Thunderbolt vs. 56 HP / 200 SpD Assault Vest Araquanid in Electric Terrain: 240-284 (82.4 - 97.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO Timid Specs Koko in terrain never Ohko'd unless it was a crit, Tapu Lele with Psyshock ohkos in terrain but that's based off the 0 ev invested Defense, even Modest Psychic does 66.3% at most, 85.9 with a crit Add in the fact that Mirror is 2x damage dealt meant that Araq usually Ko'd most of its 1v1's if they used a Special attack. If you wanna invest slightly more defensively, then a careful nature and less SpDef Evs works as well, though you SEVERELY trade offensive power for special longevity

Time to switch into Haydunn vids real quick

I was literally saying how cool rampardos looks before he mentioned it LOL

Araquanid is aBACKuanid!

Love, love, LOVE Araquanid! Spider boi is my boss man!

Any chance you are going to compete in a draft league format again? Would love to see you again

I wonder if its ability could be used for say, tera bug or another type that is notably weak to fire without that downside?

One of my favorite mons

Use Zebstrika next, defs one of my fave mons returning! Sap Sipper makes it so that it has more opportunities to switch in, plus it has now new toys to play with in Supercell Slam and High Horsepower.

Goodhead is back lets gooo

I missed the gen this pokemon was introduced in, so I was in for a surprise when I saw how large it was lol I was panicking

I'm going to have to shiny hunt for one of these for my rain team.

Literally caught a shiny araquanid 3 hrs before seeing this. I think it's a good mon too.

would araquanid be a good switch to the common flutter mane?

what stats and nature for that first offensive one?

This is why I always carry brick break and psychic fangs on my teams l

HAYDUNNN 🐐

Not putting the power boost to water moves in the description seems like a total oversight. It’s extremely relevant.

I'm hoping Haydunn makes it into PokeAims draft league, would be a great thing to see

You should use Leavanny with fell stinger

It would be cool if you can showcase Entrainment Araquanid. I feel it would be powerful in doubles with a high attacking water type.

great video

Im so scared of Araquanid swimming… This is such a cool tech though
