Honorable mention: gen 3 ou big 5 teams (tyranitar, blissey, skarmory, swampert and gengar + a filler) Tyranitar is the dragon dance win condition who sets up sand and creates passive damage. Blissey walls everything on the special side (no special weaknesses because of the lack of fisical special split) and switches into statuses thanks to natural cure . Skarmory walls everything on the fisical side (no fisical weaknesses because of the lack of fisical special split). and creates spikes. Swampert is a mixed wall with a decent offencive potential with ice beam, hydro pump and earthquake. Gengar is a fast offensive threat who can also spin-block. The filler rounds out the team based on what matchup you want to improve (for example zapdos, starmie and salamance). This 5 are so good and synergetics that even when you know they are coming they are not going to be easy to beat (especially because each of them has a lot of set variety).

bozo is still doing the palestine bit in his pokemon themed channel aw hell nah. who's gonna tell him

Grapploct and a partner with Contrary was an okayish gimmick team in sword and shield.i thought

If Matcha Gotcha isn't here I'm rioting

didn't even mention torkoal + hisuian liligant? literally the only good use of after you

Golisopods ability is one of those things that has some cool outplay potential but kinda just ends up being bad

Ursaluna is such an absurd monster. 140 base attack, doubled with guts, on a stab 140 base facade, increased even more with tera normal. What an absurd monster.

Obligatory additions of lili-koal and its variants, maus-ape, top-moth etc. There’s a really funny way to exploit lunar blessing btw, if you call they’re going to use it and you move after the cress, you can status the Ursaluna with sleep powder/spore before their flame orb kicks back in and the end of the turn. Won a few games with that trick lol.

Perfect pairs not perfect bears

DisQuake fell off hard when the Lando-T dynasty began tbh

*Disappointed about the lack of Gyarados/Raichu* I won a mid-season regional undefeated with it.

Tyranitar and Excadrill in shambles rn

a pair that's helped me a lot in indigo disc is clodsire and cramorant, since cramorant is immune to clodsire's earthquakes and clodsire gets healed by cramorant's surfs cause of water absorb. very very fun pair that i'm glad to have figured out cause of all the double battles lol

CressLuna being good is actually really cool given the moon theming applying to both

speed powercreep in gen 9 is so stupid, now all speedy frail pokemon are useless below 135 speed i hope gen 10 wont raise this even higher

why so mean to rotom frost, bro is a fridge so maybe let him live for his speed on the pretty bad defensive typing

I like to call them BFFs.

One really nice combo I enjoyed in Gen 8 Doubles Seismitoad + Heliolisk in Rain. The rain healed Heliolisk and doubled Seismitoad's speed, and they could throw out Surf and Parabolic Charge without hurting the other. It was really fun.

The world if using Plus or Minus was actually viable

Another perfect pairing is Water move + Freeze dry, no type combo resists both and it can only be resisted by Water Absorb or Storm Drain users that have terastylised into an ice resisting type

Another "perfect pair" is murkrow gothitelle, by using prankster perish song on the first turn and then thunderwave for the next two you can prevent your opponent from switching with paralysis and shadow tag, and for some god awful reason gothitelle gets access to fake out. I usually run this set in doubles ubers with dondozo and tatsugiri. I even thought about using sinistcha and poltchageist to consistently heal murkrow and gothitelle, I think highest I got with this was about 1450 ELO which isn't very much but it's good enough for me lol.

Its awesome that Hawlucha and Rillaboom are in my top 5 favorite Pokemon and they're great together

Perfect pairs and no Skarmbliss?

No excadrill x tyranitar in a perfect pair (couple) video = bad video 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣

this video blew my mind

1:01 (it's actually neutral to Rocks due to being part-Fighting)

Fun video! :D

Sneasler/Rillaboom is an absolutely peak pair as they cover their weaknesses perfectly and rillaboom turns Sneasler into a offensive behemoth of a pokemon

I miss cres being good in VGC, shes still viable but definitely not as good as Indeedee

I really like stuff like Weather setter + weather abusers. Specially stuff like Pelipper + Mega Swampert, or Hippowdon + Stountland.

Never heard of Ursaluna Cresselia, that is a really cool combo!

I actually use an more offensive version of CressLuna, it's UrsaVolt. Not only vikavolt gets levitate, it also gets discharge stab and 145 spatk. It can also tera ice for boltbeam coverage and earthquake from luna still coming in, not to mention CC and facade. The problem is that my luck conveniently makes it so discharge paralyzes enemies during trick room turns and never fully paralyzes, turning the whole game against me

I don't even play pokémon but I watch these videos

Ambipom and Florges are great lead partners. Because of the way items are consumed, a technician Ambipom holding a normal gem can be gifted a life orb via symbiosis and boosted with helping hand all before the first attack is completed. This can make a fake out be just as powerful as explosion. Thief and trick work to remove problematic items from enemies while pollen puff heals off life orb damage.

There is this Hawlucha set in random battles which is incredibly good: Encore - Swords dance - Acrobatics - Close combat.

Could you please talk about Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Arceus in future videos?

in gen 8 i really liked to run tornogre (tornadus and kyogre), shame with koraidon and past paradox is kinda obsolete but it worked so well

I'm pretty sure one of the premier Hawlucha sets in its debut generation was Power Herb Sky Attack, so that you can activate Unburden and have a one-turn Flying nuke, then have Acrobatics to give it better Flying STAB once Herb was gone, along with Flying Press and another Fighting move (HJK, pretty sure)

Why are you leaking the next generations convergent evolution to the applin line? Pairy is a grass fairy type which took over the competitive scene and you are spoiling us 😢

You need to talk about the 2025 circuit

a great pair is belly drum with psych up

Can I ask about your name? Are you like dating Zapdos or something?

1:00 not every flying type is rocks weak... (including hawlucha)

Ursaluna has headlong rush as an alternative for ground stab or is not good in vgc because of the defense drops?

A big one I like a lot is the combination of RillaTran (Rillaboom + Heatran). Their typings compliment each other nicely, contributing 2/3 of the classic FWG core, but it obviously goes further than that. Grassy terrain allowing heatran to tank an odd earthquake when necessary is a huge help for its greatest weakness, and heatran can come in and get flame body procks to punish the u-turns that annoy rillaboom

Slurpuff also could get an honorable mention since its the only pokemon with the combination of Unburden and After You, which allows it to let slower pokemon move first when weather is contentious

Thoroughly enjoy your style of videos

My favorite is pairing regenerator with another regenerator

Just wanna say fighting resists rock so it’s actually neutral I’m pretty sure Also oranguru torkoal, your Tera fire specs eruption is only a 2HKO? That’s fine, here’s a buy one get one free voucher

honorable mention to mega swampert and pelipper
