THIS NEW POKEMON JUST GOT BANNED. HERE'S WHY THE TEAM: bit.ly/tempHoundstone #pokemonshowdown #pokemonscarletandviolet #temp6t pokemon scarlet and violet,pokemon violet,pokemon scarlet,pokémon showdown,houndstone,last respects,temp 6t
@@walaceandrade4046 I think it's called Supreme Overlord and boosts the Attack of the user for every fainted Pokémon in the party. Kouhai, you must not be incautious when facing it, or your ass shall be handed to you.
Oh i completely missread you first comment. I read it as KNOCKING OFF the opposing mon. My bad. Supreme Overlord and Last Respects both punish you for koing mons, they sure do 🤣.
Temp6t the type of guy to say "i thought that move worked differently" knowing dang well has knowledge of every fucking move in the game and which pokemons can use them.
Could possibly mean a ghost immunity is mandatory on meta teams, which would be interesting. This sort of cheese team probably wont be good, but I expect sand teams with The Hound as a late-game sweeper to be quite common.
@@ingosmtheperson3045 I'm aware, I'm a temp fan. He does the funny Zoroark illusion thing. I just wanted to point out that the funny dog isn't gonna be viable once the meta gets established.
@@numba1jared LETTING OUT HELIOLISK WAS A GRAVE MISTAKE. I said she could save the hyper offensified meta and I was not wrong. Well I guess Tera Fighting is a thing but I still wouldn't be humiliated by Last Respects.
no, you still need to have T-tar or another sand-setter because the only reason houndstone outspeeds is because of sand rush. Other than that, a choice band, and tera-normal, all the bases are covered! Though some tricky switching and stalling can remove the sand and if the sand-setter isn't alive that could lead to a loss.
There’s also some decently srong priority attacks now, and terastralize making all sorts of things hit harder. Dunno the calcs, but would have thought that palafin in the first battle should have ended the strat with Jet Punch.
@@alexleighton6552 I was referring to Smogon singles where a mon with only one weakness, 3 immunities, and illusion as an ability could SERIOUSLY thrive just by holding a focus sash. I don't particularly care much for VGC and love watching Temp since most of his videos are singles matches.
@@roboticgentlemen1970 that’s technically not Dugtrio. That’s Wugtrio. It and its prevo Wiglett aren’t even considered regional Diglett variants; they’re garden eels who have similar traits due to (probably) convergent evolution. It’s still super weird, but technically not Dugtrio.
@@CrowZekVoidOde sadly? You’re sad that they’re already available for competitive? Like I’m pretty sure they got added to showdown yesterday, so it’s not like showdown was giving things to players early.
that is the cheapest move I have ever seen in my life and the fact that you figured out a strategy to perfectly utilize it already is absurd, stupid, and downright distasteful... I LOVE IT!
It was only once at least with the hard block but this kinda shows what it thought would happen with terrastilizing , most are not even gonna use it for the bonus damage but instead use it for more defensive purposes by switching your type making your sweeper have the ability to completely change what it’s counter is while maintaining the stab of its original typing
Yeah, I feel like this mechanic flips countering on its head Pokemon have always been defined by what type they are, so being able to simply change it just makes them into blank stat blocks you can slap any type onto (and since they become mono-type while keeping their STAB, you can just bypass the problem of dual typings with bad weaknesses, like garchomp's 4x ice weakness, or you can make a pokemon with levitate into an electric type lol) If the mon has good attacking moves of that type then it's now a strong attacker, and if it has high defensive stats it now walls a completely different set of types (oh, almost forgot, tera blast is literally an 80 base power move that not only matches its attack type to the higher of your physical or special attack but also matches your terastal type. lmao) Returning to that sweeper example, if there's some defining offensive mon in the metagame, then you can't really hope to effectively counter it, because people will absolutely spend their terastal use on them and then it turns into a roulette of which 18 types it will become. Obviously you get to do it to them in return, but then it's kind of a scramble of who sets up their sweep first or who happened to pick a lucky type the opposing team cannot handle It's a very cool mechanic for utilising mons held back/crippled by bad typing or with potential strategies that are made viable by gaining STAB or typing, but it's just way, way too fundamentally broken I don't really think it will be judged competitively healthy in its current form once the dust settles and the metagame takes some shape
Seems to me you'd want to run this with a self-destruct team. Get as many of the enemy pokemon in the process, as well, to prevent any enemy setup as you setup your own combo.
Honestly, in a battle against an NPC I'd agree (and actually kind of want to try in game at some point now that you mentioned it), but in terms of PvP the fact that Self-destruct/Explosion have no effect on Ghost types means if they use it while facing an opponent's Ghost Type Pokemon, said opponent might figure out the strategy and find a way to counter it i.e. having a Pokemon with the Damp Ability in their party. (Compare-and-contrast the Memento strategy we saw above, which merely lowers the opponent's Pokemon's stats which makes for decent misdirection and possibly even leads them to waste a turn on a buffing move if they have one.)
If people think Houndstone with this move is terrifying then they are not ready for Adaptability Basculegion with this move once Gen 9 links up with Home.
@temp6t have you tried the Shedinja set in Nat Dex? Electric Teratype Shedinja with Air Balloon, you can pack Ttar and Houndstone in case you go against the mirror and to sweep if Shedinja is outed
I am SO glad that this exists. About 6 weeks ago, my dog Zeke passed away (he had a LOT of health issues with allergies and in constant pain, was poked and prodded a lot... so it was a mercy). When I first discovered Greavard, I had hope of finding one and nicknaming it after Zeke. And now, I know he's coming back strong with an evolution for the meta that I don't participate in. Zeke, we will ride again!
I was like the first one to figure out this move on Showdown when I used it in AAA. It's so broken it's hilarious! Though it can be easily outsped by certain fast mons and many scarf users.
Can I make a request for a team? A TMNT team with 4 turtle-ish pokemon for the obvious reasons, 1 rat for splinter, and 1 pokemon for Casey Jones or Shredder or whatever.
@@DKQuagmire I heard somewhere that we were supposed to be able to move Legends Arceus mons into Scar/Viol through Pokemon Home. I wonder if we could get a Torterra through that.
I got a Houndstone in my playthrough and knew immediately it was gonna stay on my final team because of Last Respects. It's saved me a couple of times already.
Once again we see why having moves that actively punish players for doing well is usually a bad game design decision, especially when implemented with no down sides to the user using it.
HOLY SHIT! That combo is TERRIFYING, my dawg! Adaptability-boosted Last Respects is absolutely BONKERS! I pray that the Legion is fast asf to land that move fr!
@@coline6792 no. The games have been available online for the last week. The game has been leaked for the last week and a half. The official release is today. But the info needed for Showdown has been available for the last week.
What I used to love about this channel was that the videos started as if you were already on a treadmill and never broke the pace until the end, now with the added classic pls subscribe plea it cheapens video imho, it takes away from the immersion and the unique identity this channel had. You’re gaining subs and have grown so much over the last year because the content has been amazing, not from the 10 second plea
So there is also a bisharp evo callled kingambit, it has the supreme overlord ability or something, where it gains 10% increase to damage for every fainted ally, so although its most likely worse, i think it could be done with kingambit as well
This pokemon seems to have potential 101 Atk, workable. 72/100/97 HP, Def, SpDef. Actually good. Ghost typing gives it two immunities. It has ally switch, useful with ghost typing. Then Helping hand, snarl, scary face, confuse ray, willo, yawn. All decent support moves. It can have Fluffy with body press or sand rush with last respects for late game. It has potential in doubles as well
It's just like the Smash bros thing where you have a team of 3 or 5, and when one character dies it immediately goes into the next one, and you put Lucario as your last mon due to the buffs he gets on last stock.
