Missed 3 willo's in a row just yesterday... I just started laughing in rage like that scence where walter white is under the house looking for his money :'D
@@subzero212 its still crazy that to me that the best move most rock types have is stone edge. even with iron boulder and ogerpon geting 100% attacks they dont see any use
That will-o-wisp joke had layers to it. That my friend is gold. I also laughed harder than I should have. Another amazing video as always while breaking everything down very well.
Shoutout to Dragonite, being an irreplaceable Pokemon among all of the Legends and Paradox mons in the format. That said... I really wish the power creep of SV VGC wasn't so fast. So many cool pokemon didn't get a chance to shine in their debut generation. That sucks.
Entei looks like itll be unruly in this reg. Its a nice halfway point between h-arcanine and dragonite. Always cool seeing older gen mons being able to keep up with powercreep.
Iirc, it was the second most used Fire type in the last regional behind Incineroar. Who would’ve guessed having an ability that makes you good into the meta Fire type is really good.
The perfect start to a sick day, some Road to Ranked featuring amazing content creator Aaron ‘Cybertron’ Zheng! Thanks for always adding a smile to my face and an hour (or more) of enjoyment to my day!!
I love these really long videos with teams Aaron. It just provides a more in depth analysis of the team and thus enjoyable content for myself. In just 3 games it’s truly hard to grasp how to adequately pilot a team against multiple opponents and/or teams.
Thanks for the showcase! Not used to piloting Chien-pao cores so it's nice to see this showcase and glad you went over the weaknesses since I also find myself struggling with Trick Room teams and opposing speed control teams. Still a great team to watch out for and learn. QOTD: Off-meta teams, often Hard Trick Room, has been tough to fight especially with a bulky Farigiraf and Ursaluna-Bloodmoon. Dondozo-Tatsugiri cores can also be a struggle when my team doesn't have a particular answer to it.
QOTD: So far, I've struggled to deal with Ogerpon Wellspring. The team I'm renting to start the season has a lot of Water Tera options, so Ogerpon-W has a pretty comfortable time coming in and putting pressure on my team with Horn Leech. It's probably a skill issue, though, because I often find myself in positions where I leave the Pokemon that can stand up to it on the bench. All part of the learning process!
Man this team was so good during that tourney run. I liked seeing Raging Bolt and Entei shine since they were "fresh" to the meta. QOTD: Archaludon can be so tough if you dont have the right special attacker or a big enough hitter to get it gone in 2 hits before its boosts stack up
Entei winning a regionals in VGC was not on my 2024 bingo card. Needless to say its about time Entei got some spotlight, it was always in the shadows of Raikou and Suicune.
I used to play this Entei on last generation, can counter easly Incineroar and is a THKO on Zacian, solid vs Special Attack and can fight Amongous... The perfect Pokemon.
In that match you lost, I would’ve done Ice Spinner into Tatsugiri and Thunderclap into Dondozo, rather than Sucker Punch into it. Then in the next turn you could’ve done sucker punch tatsugiri to finish it off and Draco meteor into dragonite. That could’ve helped get the win for your team.
Sacred Fire being better Inferno... being a move that precedes Inferno. Sacred Fire: - 100 BP - 95 Acc - 50% chance of burning (scaled, it is something like 47.5%) Inferno: - 100 BP (same as Sacred Fire) - 50 Acc - Always burns (scaled, it is 50% - whenever it hits) In the end, you get more from the raw damage dealt the 45% of the unhit "Infernos" than the damage you uptick with the 2.5% advantage Inferno has over Sacred Fire on burning.
Awww I didn't make the cut, played against you the other day using this team. I was using weezing and managed to just squeak out the win. Was such a good game!
Everytime Aaron drops I get paired against multiple players using the team he most recently showcased 😅 good thing he does a breakdown of the teams movesets and held items
Really glad for Entei to be in a format where it can shine! So good! Saw the match of Alex Underhill and was really great! And for the QOTD: I think that Latias is not easy to get rid off. Maybe it's just my team, but the combination of a bulky mon that loweres your spatk while hitting hard is not to scoff at. Yes - you do have fluttermane but after a tailwind it's often to risky for it to face it face first. But there is a ton of strong Pokémon right now.
57:40 Given how much damage Registeel did to Entei, it was at least 244+ Def AND got the highest roll with Body Press, +2 244+ Def Registeel Body Press vs. 68 HP / 20 Def Entei: 124-146 (62.3 - 73.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO. The calcs are the same as if it had 252+, still a 93.8% chance to OHKO with the crit into Raging Bolt
QOTD: My case is a bit weird, but Chi Yu. Not because I can never beat it, but because I feel it either gives me no problems at all, or I lose my entire team to one.
Flutter Mane is one of the toughest Pokemon to face. It hits hard and with a lot of EV investment in physical bulk it's surprisingly tough to take down.
QotD: Trick room + psyspam is scaring me because too many people are using it at the top of the Best of 3 Ladder in pokemon showdown I feel like there will be more trick room in Charlotte especially if it top cut Portland
the deal with the fluttermanes is: 1) if you see a booster energy SP ATT one you at the very least speed tie but most likely outspeed 2) if is not booster and it is specs or focus sash they probably outspeed cause the normal specs flutter is always EVed to outspeed adamant Chien Pao, hence why you have jolly Pao to 1v1 opposing flutters with ice spinner plus sucker punch 3) if its booster speed it always outpaces you.
Hey Aaron! Was wondering if you could add a "pace" criteria, explaining how many turns you expect to finish a game (team dependent) and what are good signs to notice impatience. Thanks for getting me into vgc!
For QOTD I will say with my experience and my team beat up Whismocott plus grass tera justified terrakion is on pretty tough team I went up against. My hard counter Serpierior and heart flame mask ogrepon were no match for it XD.
I need help so bad in regulation F, Aaron. I cant seem to find my rhythm in this reg and Idk why. I really enjoyed the Toxapex/HGoodra team you featured last season, so much that I made my own with some mild changes. Please halp Aaron❤
Sacred fire should be nerfed in my opinion. The accuracy or burn rate should be severely limited for balance. Game freak should have never gave entei sacred fire. Its disrespectful to Ho-Oh.
Hey i'm new to Pokemon VGC, i've watch a lot of your video and i realize you play with base stat, are you playing pvp with base stat or you just show the Pokemon base stat and modified later? Anyway keep it up fot he informative video✊🏻.
I feel like Urshifu always gives me a hard time. I almost never click protect when it's on the field, even when the teammate might attack me. Not wil-o-wisp!
