The double protect into all those flinches with a crit on top was hilarious. You can't even be mad if you lose in that situation.

Have never played VGC or even owned a Pokemon game since original Diamond but I sure have binged everything you've put out in the last ~9 months recently. Also really cool to see a super wholesome community around your channel, def not the norm in my experience lol, cheers.

read that sentence without context

love your vids and ik this isn't even close to relevant but you've been DEVOURING looks since the change to a middle part! 10 to a 10 ofc. And 10/10 gameplay and commentary per usual.

Lowkey makes me really happy to see a team like this doing well. I started with Shield and I didn’t have online. But I did Battle Tower RELIGIOUSLY and my go-to’s were Dillon the Excadrill and Rex the Tyranitar. They were so fun to use, the two are my little guys. That easily cemented Excadrill as my favorite Steel-type and T-Tar as my favorite Psuedo-Legendary.

I was so happy when raging bolt first came into the format. Perfect counter to water urshifu that was a menace since HOME. Now Raging Bolt has become such a bulky nuisance, it’s good to see cool niche teams like this to counter it. And the timing for this team is perfect since Articuno was resurrected in the snow.

I really appreciate that you always put the rental codes and pokepastes, super accessible! Thank you

You had me at sand and okidogi

Dude I've been cooking up something very similar to this and I'm stoked that someone figured it out. I had the same thought! "Excadrill just counters Raging Bolt and hits most common Reg F pokemon for super effective damage. Why not put tera stellar on it and sweep?" so sick. One of my favorite archetypes ever and even though it's low power right now I love seeing it succeed in some way.

That Serene Grace Dragonite was insane lol

I loved that giggle when the corv got double flinched by iron head. Keep on the good work Aaron❤

QOTD: Dedenne is always my go-to mon, it's been my favorite since XY. Nuzzle/Electroweb are great for speed control, and it can be surprisingly tanky with Sitrus Berry/Cheek Pouch. My opponents tend to target around it since they don't see it as a threat, so it can stick around on the field for awhile.

My underrated pick right now is still Kantoian Weezing. Its seen some high profle creators like Wolfey sing its praises but he is still extremely underrated.

That dragonite on battle 8 almost felt like it had a kings rock with all the flinches at the end lmao

Only corviknight becomes weak to ground because he is steel, every other flying will take neutral from it, earthquake however does double damage to a Pokémon using dig

This team has to be one of the most balanced teams I've ever seen built

Ggs, played you using this team, I was the wartortle/registeel guy, absolute heater of a match.

As corvs strongest solider im always happy to see a team using him

i love the raging bolt nodding its head to watch corv lol

QOTD: It’s not THAT underrated, but I think Gouging Fire is really good with the howl set. Of course, it struggles because you have to choose between Booster Energy and losing to Incineroar or Clear Amulet and losing to Lando, but with a few howls, your team can go off. I also think Primerina is pretty underrated, because it can deal water damage ignoring Ogerpon’s follow me, and has a good matchup into both Urshifu forms, but it is a hard life out there when the most popular Pokémon is grass and your fairy competition is Flutter Mane.

Amazing to use this team with all the hail teams going around now. Tyranitar being slower than Ninetales helps you control the weather and leads to interesting mind games.

22:37 why is raging bolts head bobbing like that www

For everyone who wants to play this team on showdown, be aware, that the Tera Type on Ogerpon is wrong and you should change it to flying :) And thank you for this video, the team is very fun to play!

Oh my god, I just realized you did the thing I mentioned in a previous comment lol. Awesome!

Don't know if anyone pointed this out, but could not help but notice that the Okidogi on the Pokepaste is Tera Poison, but the one used on the team is Tera Flying.

I just built a ttar drill sand team, so this timing is perfect! I’ve got mandibuzz, prim, klefki, and sinistcha as the others, but this gives me some insight into how to play. Thanks, Aaron!!

I felt like ranking up this season with a rental. Went 4-0 with this team and got to master quick. Very good team

As I’m watching the video and playing some ladder, this team pops up as my next opponent. Thanks for showing me how to beat this haha

I love watch these more off-meta teams :D

That Dragonite set is very very common in japanese teams. You can find almost anything on the last slot: I've seen Haze, Encore, Extremespeed and Tailwind, but there are options like Roost, TWave, even Leer lol. Also, it's often Multiscale instead of Inner Focus.

1:13:38 "Congratulations ya played yourself"

Yeeeeeees, more of DAT DAWG! Cannot get enough of Okidogi.

I LOVE seeing sand in the modern meta! Turns out if you don't experience even the most timeworn strats for a while, they feel fresh again.

Someone needs to do the math of the double protect and bazillion flinches plus crit from the dragonite. That was insane.

Good to see drill tar still popping off seeing as sandstorm not that good in singles

Wow that banded +4 terrakion 1 shotted ttar and corvi! You could've taunted whims that turn1 to limit the prankster moves to 1 but there was no way corvi survived that. My reaction was the same to yours actually as its not even a critical hit. That was real damage right there 😅

excited to watch every video keep it up🫶🏼

Hey Aaron. Just dropping a comment 😋 I love when you start doing the weird teams 👍 To you and anyone else that reads this, have a great day!

Sorry if I missed this being explained, but did the team creator explain why Poison was the Tera type chosen for the Amoongus? I tried translating the team report and all I saw was something along the lines of "you should probably change this Tera type"

@Endershock1678

2 ай бұрын

I speak Japanese, he doesn’t mention on the team report (or at least in the Amoongus section) why he chose Tera poison, and he said he thinks a different Tera type would be better. He also said he uses it mostly for the TatsuDozo matchup, which makes the Tera choice even more confusing tbh

@mcl_official20XX

2 ай бұрын

@Endershock1678 I interpreted it mostly as "yeah I just didn't bother to give it a good Tera lol" which is understandable if it was just meant to be a quickly thrown together fun team for the Global Challenge.

Isn’t wiki berry kinda hurtful for corviknight tho? since it’ll confuse if your a -SpA nature and he’s using impish, i get the healing but i think a mago, aguav or iappa better would be good to heal without confusing

I’d consider dropping Draco on Salamence in favor of Fire Blast. It covers your weakness to Corviknight and the only Mons who resist both flying/fire are universally weak to ground, which is the primary offensive type for this team.

love to see any of the poison trio being used, they’re so unique

The corviknight is dragon on the hatena blog post. I think theres an error with the team share. Not sure if they changed it or what

That second to last game was absolutely amazing. Play to your outs.

I don’t know if this is something about the way I team build but I have never had a bad matchup against a sand team

my favorite underrated pick atm is tyranitar probably, sometimes it slots into teams so well

Game 5 was nuts

Not sure how underrated it is atm since I haven't played in a little bit, but Glimmora's one of my favourite picks because I think people don't expect it to deal as much damage as it can do. I feel like whenever I used they just ignore it until it's taken out 2 or 3 pokemon, throw in getting Meteor Beam and it's just such a fun pokemon.

Quick note: The paste in the description has a Wiki Berry, which confuses if it's a minus SpA nature, which the Corviknight seems to be, so I'm not sure that's particularly ideal? Also, the Okidogi is Tera Poison instead of Flying

Does missing earthquake on your own teammate power up high horsepower on the next turn against an enemy? Pretty cool tech if it’s a thing!

It was a very popular anti meta pick in Reg E, but rn, Urshifu Water isn’t very popular, Ogerpon and Raging Bolt is better for the job anyways, Tailwind in general is kinda weak, and relying on special flying stab is uh… not great.

Berry confusion isnt tied to nature it's tied so a preference like doesnt like bitter or whatever. While those tend to match up with natures if you change the nature with a mint they still keep their old preference. In short the original nature wasnt confused by wiki berry.
