For the final game my guess is the opponent has weakness policy terapogos. Mach punch hitmonchan to activate the policy and symbiosis florges to pass the leftovers to twrapogos once it uses the policy
That's what I thought too but symbiosis doesn't proc when you switch in. You have to be on the field when your mon loses their item so I have no clue what blood was cooking with that team. Plus you have to wait for tera shell to be broken for mach punch to be super effective so the whole thing is wild
Rage powder shedinja would be hilariously busted. More realistically, rage powder charjabug, and maybe let vikavolt keep battery as an ability option when it evolves.
Qotd: I’ve always loved Spewpa for a weird support mon, with friend guard + rage powder, but the rest of its movepool is mediocre. Plus buffing it buffs vivillon who has always struggled. I think sleep powder is a fairly obvious answer, maybe something like magic coat or foul play, honestly I have no idea
I feel like trying to reset Trick Room in game 1 wasn't the best play. Sure, the Covert cloak is a pretty unfortunate surprise ; but LO / Magnet Raging bolt doesn't seem crazy in a sun team. Thus I think Follow me + Glacial lance was an almost 100% win. Your Smeargle was still full life with its sash, and if I'm not mistaking you were at +2 after killing Chi-yu and Koraidon so you were definitely killing both with Glacial lance.
oh nice to see AJ (foiledfeline) shouted out! they're a really talented player and teambuilder, and an awesome local who's helped me with rides before :)
I’m a huge Alex Underhill fan and this team is incredibly clever. It’s basically a trick room core and then a bunch of techs to beat the things that usually best trick room
Last opponent had a really crazy interesting anti meta team, hope you bring teams like that to the channel, I was kinda hoping for him to win the match
Thanks to watching Aaron "Cybertron" Zheng on Road to Ranked, a series where he climbs the online VGC ladder and provides live commentary as he goes, he has been a massive inspiration to so many in the community including myself, with me finally having started going to locals this past weekend and doing fairly well with a Lunala team I built! Thank you for everything you do Aaron, and keep up the good work, including your more experimental stuff like the interview with Patrick Connors and the history of buffs video!
In game one, you should’ve just used follow me and Glacial Lance. Your opponent already terastallized and you were at plus 2 attack and minus 1 defense and special defense. Would’ve gotten the double KO for sure. No reason to Fake Out and set up trick room when you were one click away from winning the match anyway.
Kinda new to competitive pokemon so might be a noob question but does feint “break” detect,protect, wide guard for instances when doubling up or does it just bypass it for electabuzz
I will never have a critique on Cybertron because he is so, so incredible for the community. However, can all poketubers please…PLEASE, start calling amoongus, when pluralized, as in more than one, as amoongi. “That tournament was tough, so many amoongi.” Just fun to say!
If I get the game do I have to level up / teach each Pokémon / earn the items for each Pokémon? I want to get the game / switch to play online battles but if I need to do the entire story I don’t see how I’ll have time to make a competitive team.
I personally haven't played SV yet but generally you're supposed to play the main story to gain access to all items/features that will be helpful to get into competitive. You don't need to have a competitive team to complete the main story though, and the main story can just be finished within hours, so you can just rush through the main story if you're really itching to do competitive online.
@@useruser-my6op thanks ! I haven’t played Pokémon since black and white and I never did online battles so i definitely want to try this. So in the story I need to level up / train Pokémon a certain way to prepare for online battles? Or is there like a section where you can choose Pokémon / items / moves before jumping into battles?
@@sanchilandscapedesign6316 to my knowledge, you need to raise the mons if you want specific sets for them. But there are also rental teams like what Aaron is using, wherein you will use a Rental Code for it (check the video description for this team's Rental Code). I don't really know the specifics on how to use rental codes, so you might want to search this up (or somebody else can chime in).
