They Brought Sceptile BACK! & It's Very Strong 

Sandy Shocks: "you're paralyzed!" Sceptile: "Idgaf" 😂😂😂

These daily uploads are outrageously consistent and we super appreciate it, thanks for the ridiculous amount of content lately, congrats on the 300k

The whole Psychic Terrain strat is very interesting. Activating his Unburden and preventing priority is so cool.

Sceptile is out here merely pretending to be paralyzed.

Sometimes the featured pokemon of the battle feels like a stretch when another member of the team gets more screen-time. That was not the case today. Sceptile was without a doubt the STAR of these two battles. That sweep in game 1 was absolutely astonishing, I couldn't believe how lucky you got.

"is it viable? probably not. Is it fun and stupid? yes." Laughed out loud!

Man, this is one of the luckiest games i’ve ever witnessed. First, he lands a scorching sands and burns turn 1, then he gets lucky as his opponent expected a switch and used knock off, removing what could’ve been a liability and basically granting a burn. Then, he lands a fire blast. Not to mention him not getting fully paralyzed for the entire match, and being paired against deoxys-defense to swords dance to +4. Overall, it was a fun and lucky game, and yeah, i think this is the perfect way to showcase sceptile’s return and new strength.

Rhyperior gets crazy coverage because it's Rhydon's evolution, and Rhydon gets lots of love from the devs as it was THE LITERAL FIRST POKEMON EVER 🤯😂

Special Rhyperior? That's a treat. And aww yeah that fire blast! It's always a flex. That nickname: drillionaire Totally boss.

The paralyze break through 5 times in a row like you had some REAL loaded dice was wild xD Also tanking things I just could not believe-

Shiny Sceptile is cosplaying Feraligatr hahaha

Head Smash is so strong it killed two Rmapardos in the same move.

I love that "on this side of the Mississippi" has become a catchphrase of yours. It's a bit of a dated saying, but that's part of what makes it so great. It makes me crack a smile every time

rhyperior taking our rillaboom is too funny

Ive been messing around with a sceptile that uses a power herb to fire off a solar blade turn one, which triggers unburden and enables acrobatics. And then i also run leafstorm if i need more grass firepower since sceptile’s spatk is actually really good. And then also eq for coverage

Seeing Haydunn take on Haydunn at the end there was amazing. Hanging on by the one HP really came in clutch.

That second match really shows why strategy doesn’t mean everything, it also takes skill

Sceptile needs his att stats switched. Shame it has been done yet 😑

Bro these 2 matches were insane. Sceptile just got it's broom out and swept the entire floor with both teams, no Tidy up. Love the content and amazing teams you come up with. Also 2nd match is hilarious. It looked as if a fan was trying one of your teams and got greeted by queuein up with you and decided to try out your own team against you lmao

Correction at 3:28 when you said that grassy terrain reduces ground damage it only reduces damage of earthquake but no other ground move is affected by grassy terrain

I foresaw this lol and it’s why I was waiting for the DLC to use unburden Sceptile. Flatter in doubles is great with mirror herb too.

Gen 1 mons rollin up to the function in hydro pump shoes, solar beam pants, thunder t shirt, fire blast jacket and ice beam shades

Sceptile is my favorite Pokémon from that generation. Thank you for using it. I might steal your team lol

Absolutely loving the two battle vids! Keep up the good work homie, but don't burn yourself out, we love ya

Here it is! i knew a video about sceptile would be great! I Honestly feel like i really Am learning something by watching these. i don't know why you're not a more popular poke-tuber. you make complicated strategies seem easily digestible and have great commentary. even a casual like me (albiet im trying to get a bit more skilled via pokemon Emerald Rogue) can enjoy and learn from the videos! Haydunn really is a man of the people, honestly. its great to see and im happy that he seems to be having a blast with it. in other news, Under the right conditions grass starters seem to be really Underrated compared to most fire and water starters and it's honestly shocking to see. i was always one of those people who picked the fire type in *every* game even if it was the 4th fire fighting (Cough Emboar Cough.) In any case, great video, great work, and i hope that you're having a blast with these! *with a couple of content creators elsewhere leaving the sphere, i think its really important to remember that you should be having fun too with this, Haydunn! If it ever gets too stressful don't be afraid to give yourself the break you need!* If anyone else is reading, hit the like button to give Haydunn a *round* of applause!... A *Round* of applause! Get it? Because the move round- alright i'll show myself the door.

300k baby! Kudos mate, well deserved. The quality and consistency of your uploads show that the only way is up!

Dude I really love how you’ve committed to the daily uploads and every single one is a banger. Is there somewhere we can copy paste your teams into showdown and try em out? Kinda like how pokeaim does

Love to see my boy Sceptile killing it! Great video!!

Going against your own tactics is scary but also kinda fun

Can we get a team centered around the new Mythical Pokemon? Maybe with all the DLC monsters in one team like, Orerpon, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti along with the Mythical and another Mon

we’ve battled online and I was so shocked to actually battle you! I eventually lost but I really enjoyed it!

Congrats on 300k Hayden! Your edits and commentary are top-notch as expected ❤! Love the unconventional teams!!!!

I love eating my lunch with a side of unconventional strats. Lovin the consistent uploads!

I love the daily content, the best RU-vidr out there 💯

Sceptile taking down the Deoxys reminds me of when Ash’s Sceptile did that in the anime

You’re work ethic goes crazy inspirational bro

Knew a Sceptile vid was coming after he totally finessed Rampardos’ spotlight in the last video

Bro I’m loving the consistent uploads, and having 2 battles each video! When’s the next playthrough / nuzlocke?

Christmas may be over but Hayden is providing us with gifts in the form of Sceptile sweeps! You love to see it!

an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. a head for a head makes all the Rampardos extinct

Great vid goat keep em coming

The mon nicknames are always the best part

12:10 This is a Head Smash Rampardos, you can open it using a Head Smash Rampardos.

These uploads are saving my life bro the vids are too fire 🔥

Hands down one of my favorite channels. You have always been entertaining but the way you have made small changes even with the intro does not go unnoticed thanks for your hard work

I can never get enough of your vids

I've always loved this Pokémon, probably my favorite starter. I love that it gets shed tail and I've had a lot of fun abusing shed tail plus giga drain or leech seed. It's not the greatest thing to ever exist, but it's been really fun because people forget you can do it and when you're fast setting up the seeds to then switch out and leave a sub for something else like a focus punching golurk? Kind of fun

The “I thought hurricane season was over” is an ELITE reference.

Haydunn you have quickly become my favorite poketuber. Great creative teams and funny lines. I love it.

I would prefer sharpness on this Pokemon rather than unburden, and switch its atk with sp atk and give it more slicing moves

just wanna say ive been enjoying your videos, they do a good job at highlighting the cool things about the pokemon of topic

Daily content that's not from Showdown. Great stuff, man. Keep it up. (Unless you can't or life happens.)

I feel like the Hoenn starters are the best in this gen. All of em got something going for them

Keep the two battle videos!!

Haydunn still bringing fire in 2024!!! Lol

i really hope eevee gets a buff. it generally just struggles with attack.

Another great video! just one question, im trying to find battles like these (6v6) but i dont know how to on my game.. anyone has tips?

Let's go I been waiting for the Haydunn upload today 😎

Sceptile was my first starter, and the only Pokémon I soft reset to get shiny and actually got, this is awesome that he’s getting some lovin 🎉

I've used this same Sceptile set. What a demon of a pokemon if used correctly. Great video.

I love your videos, have been a fan for a long time. Having a battle with you would be a dream come true

Thanks for my dinner content fr fr. Keep em coming entertaining af

Sceptile: who are you? Meowscarada: i am you but better

There’s no chance the second player didn’t watch your Malamar video because only Hayden could come up with something as ridiculous and awesome as sticky web + court change + contrary = sweep

I've been meaning to point out that the grassy terrain doesn't reduce all earth type damage. In fact, it only affects earthquake and bulldoze (previously also magnitude, when it was in the game), so it didn't affect earth power at all.

that 1 HP Sceptile caught them off guard for sure

The legend himself, Haydunn, delivered a video showcasing my favourite Pokémon. Keep it up bro! ❤

Favourite grass starter Sceptile representing its kind with a bang! 😁

Gotta say, watching you fight against a team you shown off using before in the second match was wild 😂 that's some really great content

these videos make my inner child jump for joy lmao

I wish Sceptile's Special movepool was at least half as diverse as its Physical.

The fact that you could have been swept by your own strat would have made for a hilarious video 😂

Se Ptolemy went hard! Hope to see some more let’s plays

Yooo my last comment was a quip about you making a birthday joke, but it's actually your birthday upon recording this! Happy birthday, man! Been loving your videos, both for the cutting edge strategy and really clever turns of phrase during the commentary 😂 Cheers, my friend 🥳

I dont know but sometimes, i just play and listen to your videos while i work yer i still understand and imagine what is happening. you're really my fave poke trainer in youtube!!!

When you finally get a taste of your own medicine, but you're already immuned.

I thought hurricane season was over!

Sceptile is secretly Limber in that first match! 😂

Do you draw your own thumbnails? iirc you said you had a graphic design background at some point? The thumbnails are so clean!

My prayers were answered 🙌🏻

Damn, living in with 1 HP. The hax bro

Sceptile is my favorite Pokemon, so it's always great to see my boy do his thing!

So glad have something to do on my lunch break each day

The earthquake to take down the giraffe made me laugh so hard. It’s so unexpected that things would work out so well. Hilarious and amazing.

Sceptile is my favorite starter, and 3rd favorite of all time. Love to see some leaf lizard rep.

“Who’s supposed to out-speed these dang ancient magnets” cracked me up

Well done Sceptile! 👏 Very nice showing ❤ Getting 6 turns in a row not being paralysed isn’t actually too unlikely. Just a bit under 18%. The hax were most assuredly in your favour, but about the same odds as rolling a 6 on a 6-sided die 😜 I’ve been waiting to see how you’ve built that Rhyperior! Such a strange pokémon - and even stranger to see it built for special attack! I’d love to see more of it! 😂

My lord, the luck with the para was insane. Can't tell ya how awesome the daily uploads are, thanks so much.

That sticky web-cinder-malamar strat did wonders for me in sword and shield. Love that one!

SD Sceptile was my ace during those XY competitive days. Glad to see it get some love a decade later. 🔥🙏

Haydunn you have honed my Pokémon nicknaming skills since I was 15. Thank you for your content buddy.

I never EVER expected any of my favorite pokemon to be any good. Let alone my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE

Bro the moment you pulled out a sp attack rhyperior, I was dying from laughter. Too good

Rhyperior finally getting some love, haven’t seen my favourite big guy since the start of sword and shield

i don't believe grassy terrain halves earth power damage. it was the bug typing that allowed spider to survive

Love sceptile!! One of the best Grass types!

Sceptile really be like : I will never get knocked down. Come on.

Ayyyyyyyy 300k 👏

Seeing a rilaboom lose to a special rhyperior is crazy

I do like the color change on the shiny version of sceptile. He looks like he has holly berries instead of bacne lol
