@@rydermcclanahan6324 Aaron had a very good shot of winning World's if any of those hit. Winning World's has been his dream for a long time, so yeah, those misses would haunt him, even if Aaron's such a good sport about it.
For reals, I've been watching your videos since start of SV and have never in my life tried online battling, until today. This team looked so fun and you explained how to play it so well I had to give it a try. Played 5 games and won all 5. Thank you for making this video and all you're other videos as well. I know you'll do awesome at worlds
I have actually also played my first few games ever with this team and I've been watching competitive Pokemon since Sword and Shield and have been interested in teams involving Indeedee for quite awhile now. I didnt do quite as well as OP with a record of 5-5 so far but I know that I am learning a lot from playing and watching the videos and I know I can improve a lot as a player and look forward to more videos and games Keep up the amazing work
Watching the regionals and internats is always ome of my favorite things but having you and wolfey cast while having so much fun doing it really added another layer of joy and entertainment. The history and growth of VGC has been an amazing thing to witness through the years
@@christimson6233while it benefitted from dmax it likes picking up multiple knockouts with glacial lance, which the doubled dmax health from opponents didnt allow. That being gone along with clear amulet + Tera to remove its bad typing remove everything that was bad about it last gen lol.
@@uribevaldezargenis8862 Terastalization also helped a lot to either deny weakness damage/WoW burns, or in rare cases, boost Glacial Lance damage via Tera STAB. Not to mention Icyrex (and Shadyrex mostly, now that we are talking about the honses) is near unwallable nor checkable, being forced to play around Icyrex and stall the TR turns and try to minimize the amount of damage possible to even think about making a comeback
I managed a solid Day 2 finish at Indy (51st for those interested). Calyrex-Ice Rider is unbelievably strong and flexible. Personally I think it if played right is the best restricted in format right now. It has a solid base speed for tailroom stuff, hits like a bus, and can actually operate self sufficiently outside of other support when needed. I ran a tailroom variant of Ice Rider and interestingly, was also the only Landorus in Day 2.
Big fan, loved seeing you and Wolfe commentating together. I could definitely tell the two of you were having a blast. Dope to see an upload about my favorite restricted for this format too.
Thanks for uploading good battles! I like the balance between losses and wins. Then your analysis on why you had said outcome is exceptionally interesting 😎
My favorite restricted to play right now is zamazenta with lugia very close behind. Very much enjoying these two, they fit my style of slowing the game down to my pace very well Also amazing job commentating with wolfey. Never a dull match with you both!
I’m excited for this format. I haven’t played since reg A and I’m trying to learn how team building works. I found a team that uses groudon with gouging fire and other proto mons that I like using. Groudon is just so cool.
Is it just me who thinks that the format would have been more natural with Xerneas, Yveltal, Ultra Beasts and Tapus? Cause I think the format is really Calyrex focussed and some restricted Pokemon that have been good back in SwSh, like Zacian in particular, aren't that viable anymore, which I think is pretty disappointing cause I was really looking forward to my first restricted format and using Zacian in particular. Btw I watched Indianapolis regionals and really enjoyed seeing you and Wolfe commentate and DAMN Miraidon is a menace
I really don’t get why the Gen 6 restricteds are just missing, especially with Z-A coming soon. It’s a bit sad, Yveltal would act as at least a dark-type restricted to resist Calyrex Shadow, and the reduction of Zacian could’ve resulted in a Xerneas comeback.
Weezing not having what you think is a Sitrus Berry might have been because of Neutralizing Gas not affecting Calyrex's ability (both Chilling Neigh and Unnerve) which is likely a bug like Protosynthesis/Quark Drive in past regulations.
I‘ve been waiting for this for quite a long time. I’m a big fan of Calyrex, but I don’t quite know how to build a team myself, so I’ll only copy a Calyrex(ice or shadow) team from an expert like you.
QOTD: I haven’t played or made a team yet in Reg G, but I’m most excited to use Kyurem- White, and Terapagos. Miraidon is cool too since it unlocks a lot of the future Pokemon that may have some nice niches.
QOTD: My favorite restricted is Caly Ice, I actually use it with Raging Bolt and Mienshao Coaching, and it is giving me some results. Is actually so fun to play with it, loving this regulation
QOTD - Kyogre for sure, Hoenn is my favorite region and Kyogre feels the best to play so far out of the weather trio. It also gives me an excuse to use Raichu, another one of my favorite mons, to keep it safe from Raging Bolt and Miraidon
Just finished second in Indy in seniors running the same team as Justin burns but ghold over bolt calyrex is so strong and arguably the best restricted mon
I tried this team and led indeedee ogerpon into kyogre - helping hand horn leech ohkos kyogre pretty consistently and feels good to take out restricted mon turn 1
I'd like to try each at least once, but definitely prioritizing the stronger ones at the start of the format to help myself and all the viewers learn what's strong early meta!
What do you guys think the best Tera for Calyrex Ice? The only thing that seems to be walling it is Kyogre... Unless Kyogre truly falls off I think we might have to think about changing the tera from water to maybe grass idk if it's worth it though
12:50 am i missing something? Shouldn’t neutralizing gas stop chilling neigh from activating? Is it some weird interaction with clear amulet or the ability shield being on the ko-ed incin?
@@CybertronVGC Got it! Appreciated! I just started getting into VGC last month as a side fun project but realized how competitive I am lol so I’m literally learning everything from the ground up now. Thank you!
@@DrAGoNzT1 no problem! Welcome to VGC :) also one other point - people normally use Grass to become immune to Spore, but since this team has Safety Goggles Indeedee AND Follow Me Ogerpon, you have a lot more protection against Spore!
@@CybertronVGC why not fire then to also negate burn from incin, because that has been very annoying in the games i've played, I guess to help with the kyogre matchup but it doesn't feel THAT bad
Goddamn, Weezing/Reggie is my favourite combo right now and that opponent wasted them…absolutely wasted them. I’m also confused with Intimidate, Neutralizing gas was active so the intimidate shouldn’t have gone off
@ElogVGC Someone likewise pointed out that Aaron's surprise about the lack of recovery berry on the Weezing may not have technically been the case, as it's possible that the Unnerve portion of Calyrex's ability may have been preventing them from using it even if they had it equipped there.
Whats funny to me with Ice-Rider and Zamazenta being arguably the "stronger choices" right now is how people where confused about those catching nerfs alongside Zacian with Shadow-Rider avoiding nerfs alltogether. Gamefreak knew... Jokes asside Shadow-Rider is still mega stupid.
