My Unexpected Pokémon Shocked Everyone in a Big Tournament 

Opponent: “my only option here is to force a speed tie, or I lose” Freezai: “There is no speed tie.”

Freezai got traumatized from the previous speed ties. He really prevented them any way he could lmao Good play

Insane terra predict there. Your logic makes sense but going for close combat on a +3 defense Hariyama just feels so wrong, I don't know if I would have been able to make the same play even if I suspected it.

The highly edited battle content is so good

Man, this series is really good. I haven't played Pokemon since B/W2 and never played competitively and I find this super easy to follow. I'll always have at least a passing interest in pokemon and this scratches that itch very well.

I know the inclusion of in game footage takes a ton of effort and people bring it up every time, but it really makes these videos much more visually appealing, and makes them look more polished. Very cool strat also!

That call on his Terra was brilliant. Fun game to watch and really enjoying the content!

I bet freezai is gonna use magnet pull magnezone with 3 or 4 dragons next week because the only fairy type in NU is klefki, wich is a steel type edited: ( compltely forgot about folrges because i thought it dropped to NUBL)

Freezai not bring hyper offense chalange difficulty: impossible

This is my favorite series on RU-vid right now, this is so good

The terra predict was INSANE. Freezai must've definitely been crossing his fingers for that. Fantastic job.

Pokémon like Scyther are always so cool to me. I love pre evos with unique niches that can actually compare to their evos

Woah that Coromon battle background at 9:00 was not expected. Love that game

This video was super interesting! A lot of the times, videos like these are just unedited showdown gameplay which doesn't really keep some people very engaged but the fact that you went back and forth between it, Sc/Vio, and your own animations kept it really interesting! And you actually explaining your gameplan in-depth is great too! All around very solid content!

Love these recaps where you give the rundown on your team and your thought process when making it. Then the narration of your decisions with in-game visuals to complement them is the cherry on top. Nice plays btw. That close combat to call out Tera was 5head

I really love the dramatization you bring to these battles, highlighting all the tools at your disposal as well as the tier’s limitations

2 weeks in a ROW you and your opponent have teams built around the same Pokemon with similar builds, items and all. As always, I love watching these videos even after I saw the original battle, the Scar/Vio footage and the further explanations really do it for me, great work!

I just gotta say thank you for putting so much effort to making these videos accessible with all the little context explanations. As a newbie to competitive pokemon, you really got me intrigued! If anyone reading this knows any other similar/good comp. pokemon RU-vidrs, I would really love to know!

I am loving this series and hearing your teambuilding thought as well as in game clips and decision making. Making good reads on the opponent plays and hard punishing the slightest misstep has always been my favourite part of hyper offense.

i learn way too much watching your explanatory videos from your tournament games, its the most entertaining stuff rn

GG feels good to see you win after last week

Really love these kinds of videos and you really come up with a new interesting team every week. I hope you keep doing this style of videos after the tournament is over!

fun fact: Tera has a hidden mechanic where moves with less than 60 bp become 60bp. This means scyther had a 90bp stab boosted priority move.

Im not gonna lie, that read on Hariyamas Tera was actually very impressive, beautiful display of game knowledge

This is the second time in a row that your opponent has brought the exact same uncommon pick as you lmao

The read that you got on his Tera type... Absolutely amazing. Great job! Excited to see more!!!

competitive pokemon videos are my white noise sleep aide

I love shenanigan lists and this whole series has been fantastic. You have really cool team designs, and I love your analytical approach and explanations!

This series revolutionises how to do post-battle reports. I love how much you've grown Freezai, keep it up mate

Dude the animated text in this vid is so cool I’m loving the more edited look of these videos

I really like how you explain your team building ideas before getting to the battles, and the ideas themselves are fun and interesting. You are making some of the best Pokemon content on the platform with these videos, well done.

I am living vicariously through your tournament coverage

My favorite Pokémon being the goat of a tier brings me immense joy

Good stuuf pall, I love unorthodox styles and you break it down nicely too. Great series so far!

The read on the Tera was so CLEAN. This is probably the best competitive Pokémon content. Well made, super well explained, well produced, incredibly interesting and full of strategy that you walk us all the way through. You’ve found your niche! Own it!

the edits really take your already great vids to the next level. loving the content!

Wow that was a crazy predict on the steel tera Loving this content so much and how its edited/structured

these videos are so entertaining and informative, love the editing and analysis

I love the editing on these champions League battles

The production quality on these videos has gone up so much recently, looking awesome! Also, really enjoying the Smogon Champions League series.

Love these tournament match videos. Leading with your team building thought process is really informative, and the commentary for the match itself is great too. Plus I'm biased towards NU and UU anyway, so I'm gonna watch them by defualt. :p

That Tera Steel call was goated, what a play.

love the vids man keep it up!

I'm sure other channels have done this, or maybe you've already done this and I've just missed it, but I'd really love to see a video that discusses an overview of team building concepts. Reviewing the lingo, the basics of team building styles, how those different styles are piloted differently in comparison to the others, etc. It doesn't even need to be a single video either, it can be a whole new series of videos where you start with the rudimentary basics, but then progress to going into more detail throughout future videos, focusing on a particular play style with each new video. Like one week you're talking about hyper offensive team building style, then the next week you're reviewing all the variants of stall based teams, the hybrids, balanced cores, etc.

Really like this type of edited Video. Good job.

Bullet Punch: *PEW PEW POW POW*

Dude excellent video and ggs

Your videos are so fantastic and high quality. Great stuff.

These weekly tour recaps are my favorite competitive content on RU-vid right now. They’re so good

That was highly enjoyable to watch. Thanks!

This is the coolest PokemonShowdown series I've seen. The explanation between turns is phenomenal

Holy CRAP, what a TEAM. That is some *excellent* team building

The edit is really good! it male it so much easier when you don't know that much ! TY

I love the editing style you use in these videos.

man that predict close combat was such a great move

Everything from the presentation to the strategies in these videos are so good. I only play VGC but this is one of my favorite competitive channels

Finally waiting for the video❤️❤️

Awesome predict on the Steel Hariyama! That’s one of those plays that show true battling skill

I love the edits with 3D pokemon models. keep it up!

That close combat was 🔥

Channel been growing so fast lately. Hope you get to 150K subs soon man you deserve it.

Sick season sweeps from Freezai!

3:40 BULLET PUNCH GO PEW PEW POW POW

Hot damn, the editing goes hard in this

Great play! Congrats

These are my favorite videos for pokemon, i dont even play competitive pokemon. I just like the pacing, the explanations, and cant wait for more!

this is my favorite series that i've seen you do

really love this series!

That close combat call out was baller

The description for bullet punch is "Pew Pew Pow Pow" on freezai's editing and it made me laugh so hard that I'm making sure someone else can see it 😂 3:40

Wow! The scyther vs scyther not being a speed tie must have been such a surprise lmao. Love the quick attack idea

This is crazy as a coincidence for me because I was JUST looking into the history of Scyther last night

Not only are the plays and strats great but the editing is fantastic

series is so goddamn good, please make more!

I’ve been trying to use tera flying Scyther in VGC and even with eviolite it’s just a bit hard to keep him alive. Cool to see him in singles

Some really high quality editing going on here, it makes something as raw as randbats11 3 hit so much harder

Holy moly this guy outplayed good stuff

This team comp has all of my favorite Pokémon I love it!

So well played. I love the redemption at losing to a scyther speed tie before (iirc)

Cant believe it took me this long to learn that STAB was a acronym

i love these videos! super entertaining and educating

I like how the music gets intense while he's explaining his plays

the visuals were incredble i love the pixel art

Playing through the game in switch was a great idea to get nice footage for the video. Very clever.

8:14 ah yes, a sinlge use item

the close combat play was sick

Bro the call on the Hariyama was INSANE! Goat play

6:20 bonus like for putting the bowsers inside story final boss theme! 🫡

Something that didn't get notified here is that Terastalizing into a Type makes it so any moves with a Base Power of said Tera type that have a base power lower than 60, become 60 Base Power. Meaning that not only he was getting STAB on both Bullet Punch, Quick Attack and Shadow Sneak, but he also applied and extra 20 Base Power Boost to them, and specially on Quick Attack, which also got Technician boosted. Truly the E-Killer of NU.

Setting up that ingame footage must be a lot of tedious work, thanks for doing it though it looks really good.

Honestly really cool that the opponent had the same quick attack scyther idea

The CC predicting steel terastalization was craaaaaazy. Balls of steel

I’m just glad that Lycanrock was explained cause I was confused when I saw it , especially that turn 1 endevor lol

Love Scyther. Glad to see it get some love

he REALLY doesnt want to deal with speed ties anymore I guess

I’m not really knowledgeable on competitive Pokémon but these videos are so cool to me! I’m always at the edge of my seat!

You nailed a lot of predictions that game. If I were your opponent, I'd feel mentally owned

I love scyther, this is such a sick team omg i love you freezy

Making the read that Hariyama was going to Tera-Steel was absolutely insane

LOVE the scarlet / violet clips
