Love the video as always! You inspired me to finally start playing vgc this season after just doing casual play-throughs and shiny hunting, and I hit masterball rank last night. I have a long way to go but I’m proud of it. thank you for all of the content and explaining everything so well for noobs like me. I truly appreciate it ❤️
Thank you for showing the overview of the team at the beginning! It really helps to get a grasp of the entire team instead of seeing every Pokémon individually during the team breakdown!
Hope you're doing well!! Thank you for these consistent uploads, it gives me something to watch during my study breaks, and it also allows me to keep up to date with VGC if I wanted to ever jump back in during University breaks.
Man this team is just an absolute unit. Everything about it is just so well made and I’m looking forward to giving this team a shot myself. Thanks Aaron!
Aaron you inspired me to playing competitive Pokémon and today I just entered my first ever tournament and top cut with slitherwing! The coordinator went to bed but I still had a blast and ty for introducing me to my new favorite hobby ❤
I have a soft spot for Slither Wing. I got surprise traded one (Violet player here btw) before I even completed the Gym Challenge and it carried most of my playthrough from that point. I really wish it was better in VGC
@@Turial55I think it’s really underutilized in the former right now! It’s good and has one shot potential to all of the ten most common Pokémon right now! I wanna get a good placement in a big tournament though before sharing it cuz it’s my baby 😭
Honestly as much as I enjoy the live feed with the battles it actually affected the quality of the video. When ever a lot of stuff was occurring or when a tera’d mon got KO’d the video quality dropped. Not sure if Aaron was aware of the quality drops during the matches?
QOTD: Reg F is actually a lot of fun. Lots of stuff feels good to use and it's keeping it fresh. The one down side is trying to account for every random variation you see is really difficult.
I do agree with that. Its not like the last two regs where one team was clearly at the top and you were planning on beating that team and at least do well against other counter teams. Now there is so much avaliable to pick that is impossible to counter it all
I'm a noob for vgc, i built my first team this season and i'm doing pretty good with it. I learned a lot from watching your videos! You're very good at explaining your thought process and that helps a lot. I hit master ball tier for the first time after quite a bit of grinding, feeling pretty good 😊. As a big mtg fan, i'm always surprised how to me building a team is similar to building a deck. Anyways, good content, love it!
Hey Aaron nice to meet you in Sacramento over the weekend! It was my first VGC tournament and I was super nervous! I wish I could’ve battled you to get some tips lol. Hopefully we meet again! - CJ Ayala
Holy cow.. As someone who tried to get into hard TR teams recently, and got a fair bit of practice in with a similar team - Game 6 was expertly played. Covering for all the potential things I could think of the TR team could possibly do, and cleanly coming out on top. From my perspective, this was a brutal beatdown that left basically no chance for the TR team, really well done To me personally, this one match with the great commentary on Cybertrons thoughts and gameplan, simply shows me how much more I have to learn
Fairy vest bolt was so good going into Knoxville. Ended up placing 68th with it. Stellar Tera dark urshifu also put in great work. Stellar boosted CC hits so hard
QotD: Love reg F. Easily my favorite of SV. A pretty open dex but no mythicals is ideal for me, At least in the tera generation. There are meta picks but there’s plenty of different team types that can win games consistently. just odd not having a viable e terrain setter still.
Hello Aaron , I want to emphasize that I really enjoy your videos, watching 4th game was a thrill, not because you lost but because it was a different gameplay from the opponent. For a while I had this idea which I don’t know if it could work so maybe you can try it and share the outcome. Inteleon next to a follow me or fake out or ally switch user, item@ scope lens [focus energy, snipe shot, ice beam , mud shot] the idea to successfully do a focus energy the 1st turn, now you will have 100% critical hit with sniper as ability the damage will be unexpected. You might opt for another move than mud shot but then the element of surprise is thrilling to catch an electric or steel or poison type off guard is worth it and if it was not eliminated you drop their speed so your another Pokémon finish them before they even move. Regarding the EVs, you are the specialist
Snipe shot is stronger than mud shot for anything that isn't both resistant to water and weak to ground bc of STAB. It also already has an increased crit ratio so you could run something like mystic water instead of scope lens and still get 100% crits after the focus energy. It also gets air cutter, which has an increased crit ratio and hits both opponents.
The idea is to get crits on ice beam and mud shot not snipe shot. Ice beam hits grass better. As I mentioned earlier mud shot is there to catch steel, electric and poison off guard.
Hey I just have a question: what helps you decide whether it’s better to stagger Tailwind over going for it immediately? You mentioned it a lot in Game 3 but I’d love to know the why so I can apply it later
You know, i miss seeing your face and reactions, but youtube compression and Pokémon’s recording stuff can be complicated. If you are gonna settle on this, may i suggest having a second series that has your reactions to the battles?
why so much HP investment for Raging Bolt? isnt the rule of thumb to invest in defenses rather than hp when the HP stat is so high? and even more considering its high relative to its defenses? ive been toying around with the numbers and 36 HP/252DEF/60SPDEF resists: 116 modest specs flutter adamant chien pao 2 extreme speeds from CB dragonite with chien pao out, what else could one need?
QOTD: I think it is lacking a lot of variety. Especially thanks to OTS more gimmicky tournament teams almost died out. Unknowns and surprise being limited to EV spreads makes that so much less enjoyable imo. On the ladder you also see a lot of very few Pokemon almost on every Team. I am personally completely sick of seeing Ogerpon, Flutter and Urshifu. It just does not feel healthy at all. Especially Urshifu Dark feels so stupid. People just put that on any Team as a filler and can click Wicked Blow without thinking. No protect option, no Intimidate, no immunities either. Wolfey also made a video specifically on Urshifu‘s ability. Hopefully we will see that changed in Gen 10.
I'm new to vgc and having trouble deciding what to lead and team to take, is there certain Pokemon that you should never take together or lead with? Thank you for the advice
Reg F is fun but dealing with the same mons since Reg C makes it feel it lost its spark. Like at least let other mons have a chance at the top like they did in Sword and Shield
I've been thinking of getting back into vgc having not played since 2015 and some of the new pokemon are just...what? Giraffe raikou and a cheese string?
i dont get it whats the point on showing your pokes alot , selecting move , undo selection , come back to your own pokemon like pressing buttons for nothing
