Not sure of his thoughts on Hydrapple

tired sage
#

it’s pretty new so we won’t really know what to do with it until we get used to it

mighty stump
#

Hydrapple?

molten oasis
#

I’m determined to get it working

mighty stump
#

Im downgrading it to like

keen karma
molten oasis
mighty stump
#

content levels

keen karma
#

idk wth it does

mighty stump
#

Archaludon/Raging Bolt/Incin are probably going to be the kings of the DLC

molten oasis
#

For sure

mighty stump
#

Everything else is either like, alright, or content material

molten oasis
#

welp, time to give up on Hydrapple

keen karma
#

walking wake is content material?

tired sage
#

i’m debating on whether i should ditch a move for heavy slam…
currently i’m running:
pollen puff (for healing mostly cause it’s slower then my arma)
fickle beam
energy ball
earth power…

keen karma
#

i feel like flutter yu wake would be super good

molten oasis

Might as well feed into all the fucking raging bolt users

As I’ve seen the hydrspple is mid take enough to be disappointed enough to stop working on it

What a waste of time

tired sage
#

hydrapple doesn’t do too bad in tr…

summer shore
#

Come OU if you wanna play w hydrapple

molten oasis
#

THATS IT

all I hear is use it in hard tr

That’s the only thing I hear, so I’m over it man

He’s about to pop a blood vessel

keen karma
molten oasis
#

Why work on it if it’s just gonna be mid

keen karma
#

you know how many times ive gotten annoyed at you guys calling mons mid based off of just one look at it

molten oasis
#

Gonna go to something else at this rate and join the tornshifu Archaludon team party cuz I don’t know what to do

#

Av is better on most mons

tired sage
#

fastest it’s gonna be is 105 w/ 252+

#

which isn’t bad…

mighty stump
ember linden
molten oasis
#

Grass slot is better for something 90% of the time

mighty stump
#

I made an Empo team that dearly wishes I could use Urshifu instead

#

Do you want to make a team you’re happy with and put in the work or just meta slave

summer shore
#

VGC as a format is innately unfriendly towards 99% of the mons in the game

molten oasis
#

A team im happy with, the meta is boring

summer shore
#

🙂

mighty stump
#

then just build the team and make it work and play your ass off

gentle notch
molten oasis
#

I don’t think Hydrapple is bad but I’ve heard so many takes that it isn’t good enough

mighty stump
#

Thats the only choice lol

keen karma

well i guess enhanced

And even his takes aren’t all that

#

Realistically like 10 mons are gonna be the ideal mons to use in VGC

mighty stump
#

How many takes do you think I’ve heard about my teams from Yotam

molten oasis
#

Ig I can believe in it harder, idk im shattered from todays testing session

keen karma
#

but hes easily my favorite player

summer shore
#

At any given moment

molten oasis
#

I fucking hate fluttermane

mighty stump
keen karma
#

he has opened me up to seeing value in less popular options

mighty stump
#

You’re not proving them wrong cause their takes are going to be correct: It’s going to be more work and difficult to pilot relative to better options

summer shore
ember linden
#

Those people most likely realize it can work on a specific team they just overall do not think it is the best.

molten oasis
#

I think Hydrapple is kinda unique tbh

#

I like the option to an attacker with regenerator

mighty stump
#

But if you want to actually make a team you’re happy with you either have to become a highly skilled pilot, know your matchups, and perfectly craft your team

keen karma
tired sage
molten oasis
#

I just wish it’s typing wasn’t so disappointing

keen karma
#

so its a win win for me

molten oasis
#

At times

mighty stump
#

Yeah but there’s no point in looking at the negatives

molten oasis
#

I think I pilot well, you’ve seen me pilot before. It’s the actual teambuilding part I can’t get down

tired sage
#

i’m still trying to make explosion normal band eleki work…
PikaLmao i should really stop with this idea but it’s too fun to resist

molten oasis
#

I missplay plenty of times sure

#

No one plays perfect

Learn the rules and get good at the game to break the rules at the end of the day

Wanna know how many games I played with the Empoleon team?

molten oasis

How many?

ember linden

molten oasis

At this rate I just have to believe in it, which I do im just losing my mind to “I clicked Tera fairy moonblast hehe” and then losing 🫠

mighty stump

ember linden

#

that’s a lot of testing to “perfect” the team :0

mighty stump
#

not including my time in bo1 ladder

keen karma

nor in cart

molten oasis
#

Well for a niche Mon it makes sense

summer shore
keen karma
#

i couldn't imagine sitting in bo3 ladder

molten oasis

Or a decent Mon that just exists in a format with better options

mighty stump

at leats showdown is time efficient

molten oasis

Rn the flutter matchup is just very rough

steel types are usually good into it

I’m also a hydrapple believer and I truly think it has a good place in the meta

Very bad move

molten oasis
#

I don’t want to cave to changing the item on Hydrapple cuz hands is a decent slot on here, but won’t get av

#

Which I think blows

fallen garden
#

what's bad about it? doesn't it kill flutter mane

karmic temple
#

I debated heavy slam instead of pollen puff on hydrapple since it weighs as much as hands

molten oasis
karmic temple
#

Or am I getting it confused with a different pokemon

mighty stump

#

isn't it the target's hp?

molten oasis

Oh what?

mighty stump

It scales off opposing target

Oh, that still sucks

minimum damage on a low health mon

Oh I was getting it mixed up with bolt nvm 🤭

keen karma

who gets it

fallen garden
#

how does that suck if you're trying to kill flutter mane

molten oasis
#

You’d rather a steel move or heavy slam

#

Better options

fallen garden
#

hard press is a steel move, brother

keen karma
#

a 120 bp move sounds crazy to me

crude pollen
#

Bullet punch best punch

Flash cannon or iron head

that with chiyu would go crazy

lol paladin gets hard press

molten oasis
#

well, I will stick with Hydrapple ig I just need to put in more work, which is fine

#

I’m just frustrated about my mu inti flutter still feeling so ass

#

Flutter can just click moonblast, and wipe my team, it’s so annoying

fallen garden
#

who have you been bringing for it

molten oasis

I have not tested gouging fire yet

#

I made snow and kommo-o work in a meta with manual rain

tired sage

pollen puff support WobbuParty

molten oasis

I can make this work

you have no steel or ghost moves on this team

Flutter is neutral to poison lol

You think calm would be a fine enough nature to use tho?

Gives you a faster option into Lando-I and Flutter and just work around Amoonguss.

Either you run Tera Grass Kingambit if you want to run black glasses but its approximately the same boost anyways

#

vs Tera Dark

bold geode
#

Goggles Fairy not it?

molten oasis
mighty stump
#

just the ability

molten oasis
#

Oh, we’ll do shifu then. I think Hydrapple gets more value out of regenerator on this team

mighty stump
#

If you also want a different mode you can run Screens or something.

molten oasis
#

Hmm

mighty stump
#

Or just add your own Flutter

#

or even Sash Chien-Pao lol

bold geode
#

Can the disruptive Grimmsnarl work?

molten oasis
#

Adding a flutter is the last place I’m going 🫠

fallen garden

try eviolite misdreavous

Then just run Sash Pao to boost Kingambit, deal with Lando-I/Amoonguss/Flutter as well

Move: Psychic Noise

For 2 turns, the target is prevented from restoring any HP as long as it remains active. During the effect, healing and draining moves are unusable, and Abilities and items that grant healing will not heal the user. If an affected Pokemon uses Baton Pass, the replacement will remain unable to restore its HP. Pain Split and the Regenerator Ability are unaffected.

it seems like another niche move

#

might work in certain situations but idk

molten oasis
#

I personally would rather have ice beam over psychic noise on Primarina

keen karma
#

Sounds good enough to me

molten oasis
#

Unless your av or specs

keen karma
#

Especilly next to kingambit

tidal blade
#

nothing really uses drain punch

#

except ih

keen karma
molten oasis
#

Farigiraf walls annihilape

keen karma
#

Thats huge

tidal blade
#

but tbh i havent been seeing many hands

keen karma
#

It also disables horn leech

molten oasis
#

Because of psychic noise

tidal blade
#

its always either incin or rilla for fake out

tidal blade
molten oasis
#

I use it lol

tidal blade
#

i dont think ive seen anyone use the new moves on me yet except the signature ones

molten oasis
#

It’s an amazing move on farigiraf

#

This team is hard to pilot, still making it a rental look forward to that thumbsup

tidal blade
#

i love trying out a different team style each reg

molten oasis
#

Tr is a new playstyle for me, which is what this is

tidal blade
#

Reg D was TR, Reg E was Screens, now im using double weather for reg F

molten oasis
#

Gl doing double weather with torn existing

tidal blade
#

i might use Walking Wake since its good in both rain and sun

tidal blade
whole ibex
molten oasis
#

Oh so sunny day rain dance Tornadus?

tidal blade
#

yes

molten oasis
tidal blade
#

heres my paste

molten oasis
#

Nice

tidal blade
#

i love leading archaludon tornadus

molten oasis
#

Yep

#

Rain dance then electro shot

tidal blade
#

because most people expect torn to run cloak so they dont bother faking it out

#

and if they fake out archaludon then i get a free defense buff

#

I lived a brick break from kingambit with a 2x defense buff

#

it did like 15%

ionic shell
#

why does some ogerpon fire have follow me

tidal blade
#

just as a utility move

#

because the 4th move slot is really flexible on ogerpon

ionic shell
#

okay ty

neat kayak
#

Well Terapagos was already banned
The trend of sv legends being broken in OU is still going strong

would anyone happen to have a good raging bolt spread

heal block WobbuParty

ember linden
tidal blade
#

yeah i love tr balance

#

a tr setter, a tr abuser, 2 mid speed mon that can be used in and out of tr, and 2 fast offensive mon

#

my reg D team was cresselia, ursaluna, heatran, rillaboom, flutter, and wurshifu

ember linden
#

I only really like regular balance.

#

I have no interest in HO, No interest in TR

tired sage

tr is fun
i wonder if you can tell if i like tr or not…

goggles bolt

#

oh it’s a cm set nvm-

ember linden
#

Prevents amoonguss from redirecting damage

#

Just helps anchoring in general

tidal blade
#

i want to use raging bolt but idk what to pair it with

#

i was thinking double weather torn and use weather ball

ember linden
#

Look at my team lol

ember linden
next stump
#

i've seen hella raging bolt on just bulky balance teams, gives Urshifu a real tough time

tidal blade
#

so might aswell

ember linden
# tidal blade well im already running weather

Double weather is so bad. The whole point of walking wake is you play it on one weather(sun or rain), and have it as a main damage dealer that can also work in the opposing weather matchup.

tidal blade
tired sage
tidal blade
#

it does the same amount

ember linden
#

That’s probably fine just don’t have chi-yu in rain or urshi in sun lmao

tidal blade
#

chiyu in rain isnt awful if youre locked into a dark move and your opponent doesnt have a water type

#

at the very least it turns off protosythesis for the enemy

ember linden
#

In situations where you’d rather use a fire move ofc

#

And situations where’d you’d rather use surging too

#

That’s what I meant by that.

amber patrol
#

What should I run on electivire?

#

Wondering if I should do 252 HP or 252 spd

next stump
#

you almost never want to run max special defense or defense investment without investing a lot into HP, except for rare scenarios

amber patrol
#

By spd I meant speed arkeknine

amber patrol
#

Im thinking supercell slam, ice punch, trailblaze, and maybe thunder wave as the moveset

#

Not sure what item too

ember linden
#

Is this singles?

amber patrol
#

Doubles

#

Was thinking thunder wave could also be subbed for protect

next stump
#

rank 1's team right now, just matched into him

keen karma
#

ive faced this team on bo1

#

it was rough

amber patrol
#

I'm gonna try 252 atk 252 speed on electivire since it's speed stat isn't too bad

#

Wait, follow me could be a cool option paired with motor drive and Blastoise

ember linden
#

If you want follow me go eviolite electabuzz

amber patrol
#

Ill not run follow me then

ember linden
#

I wouldn’t recommend Electivire if you want to be serious about doubles.

amber patrol
#

Just thought it'd be fun to build a VGC team for it and be able to use some kinda ass pokemon

ember linden
#

Then I’m not even sure if that’s relevant to this channel.

#

Oh nvm

amber patrol
#

I mean, i wanna build a doubles competitively viable team

ember linden
#

Electivire is power crept.

amber patrol
#

Sadly

#

With the new buffs I'd say it's usable though

ember linden
#

What were those?

#

I’ve never paid a bit of attention to Electivire lmao

amber patrol
#

Supercell slam, trailblaze, follow me, knock off

#

And a few other moves I believe

ember linden
#

Wild charge is better than supercell.

amber patrol
#

Recoil damage every time you use it arkeknine

ember linden
#

+10 more power in exchange for a 5% chance you lose half your health is so bad

amber patrol
ember linden
#

Especially on a Pokémon that is already worse than something like an Iron Hands. Wild charge is base 90 power

molten oasis
ember linden
amber patrol
ember linden
#

I imagine Electivire’s best set is AV

molten oasis
ember linden
#

I could be wrong but it looks like that

amber patrol
#

Not sure if i should run 252 hp wild charge or 252 speed supercell then aaaagh

ember linden
#

Leftovers would heal 1/12 of electivire’s hp

amber patrol
#

So not enough

molten oasis
#

Supercell sucks

#

If it goes into protect or misses it wipes half your hp

#

Do not do supercell lol

amber patrol
#

Yeah, doesn't make it automatically bad

molten oasis
#

Who uses high jump kick? As it’s the same move technically

amber patrol
#

I've seen high jump kick on mega Blaziken in the past

ember linden
#

I believe someone in the hitmon trio might?

molten oasis
#

So 3 gens ago

molten oasis
amber patrol
ember linden
#

He asked a question so I answered.

#

And it further proved his point on how bad it is.

molten oasis
#

Do you know anything that uses high jump kick right now?

amber patrol
#

Oh electivire gets bulk up too now

next stump
#

tsareena if you ever see it usually has it

molten oasis
#

I sure don’t

#

So nothing in the meta runs it

Correct.
