QOTD: Your Espathra set to counter Donzozo- absolutely wild how effective that was, and basically any team can use it too just in the back pocket. Loved it.
i would love to see clodsire work! this might be me just loving ground types but i think it could have some potential of being a counter to dondozo/tatsugiri bc of water absorb, and paired with mirror herb i think it could be a threat, but i could also be smoking hella copium. keep up the great content weedle!
I’ve used it on my dopey face team. It does counter Dondozo/Tatsugiri with having unaware and haze as well as being able to use toxic and it working on trick room teams. I ran Earthquake as well to help vs. Gholdengo as well as ‘healing’ my Orthworm with its ability. You could try counter too to catch someone off guard, if they’ve boosted and expect to one shot but then don’t and die instead.
A buddy of mine ran into Kilowattrel/Stantler on ladder. Neither of us knew the tech of Stantler's Skill Swap Intimidate into Kilo's Competitive, so he led Intimidate Arcanine into it, allowing the Kilo to easily boost up to +6 and almost steamroll his whole team. Definitely my favorite Scarlet/Violet VGC thing I've seen so far.
So far, Arboliva has been my favorite new mon. I wasnt that big a fan of the middle evo (love smoliv) but the seed sower/terrain pulse combo really helped me see how cool this pokemon is.
Favorite strat I've used it baxcalibur earthquake next to a weak armor weakness policy armarouge (works with ceruledge too), with indeedee in the back to prevent priority and boost expanding force
So glad you're keeping the post commentary rather than trying to narrate during the battle like you did at the beginning of gen 8, this content is where you shine brightest!!
Your Arboliva hits sooo hard! How?! xD The Bernadetta Tree surprises me. When the game came out no one was giving it any form of respect... And I just saw it has usages in UBER?! Incredible! As much as that Armarouge. This Pokémon is soooo cool and I really love to see it being used by both you and your opponents! Had some mirrors matches on this video and even though "Meta Weedle" wasn't expected it's much appreciated! ;D
SV vgc battles have the same energy as the USUM vgc battles, and I'm all here for it. I cannot wait for the meme starts that weedle comes up with for 2023 and also the annual christmas team 👀
Didn't think the Olive could be so strong tbh... Great video:D Qotd: Bellibolt! With parabolic charge It's pretty fun with a self proc electromorphosis and soak is a must have with all those Garchomp running around
Answering the question, my first battle in Beginner tier was against Weakness Policy Tera Rock Tyranitar coupled with Life Orb Symbiosis Oranguru with Bulldoze. I won because Banded Dragapult is ridiculous with Tera Dragon DDarts, but I was terrified
I’m a huge fan of The Tink, I’m sure you already are thinking of strats for Gigaton Hammer lol. Would love to see a strat using some of the forgotten Gen 6 guys like Gogoat & Pyroar!
Gogoat has potential because of tera typing and it’s ability to increase defense on terrain. Tinkerton could be used with swagger+own tempo but it’s risky.
QOTD: I've grown attached to using Swagger Mirror Herb Unburden Grafaiai in OU. Combined with Shed Tail/Hazards support from Orthworm, it can be extremely deadly. In addition, it gets 110 BP Acrobatics after activating Mirror Herb, combined with Gunk Shot for STAB and Knock Off to deal with Gholdengo since everybody uses it.
I haven't gotten all the way through the story yet, but so far I've been having fun with growth + chlorophyl Scovillain in raid battles when allies bring Koraidon so I'm considering building up a sun team around it
There are two types of Poketuber videos I like. 1. Where they showcase a ridiculous gimmick mon or moveset that trolls a bunch of OP teams. 2. A line-up of casual/competitive battles including wins and loses.
QotD: Daschbun is one of my favorite new pokemon. I'd love to see a build where you use lava plume into it's "Well-Baked Body" ability to power up body press.
my favorite strats in gen 9 so far are the general armarouge ones. it, ceruledge, and valiant are my favorites from this game and seeing it rock out in doubles feels great. one pokemon id love to see you use in the future is grafaiai with its prankster encore/parting shot shenanigans
QOTD Gholdengo, I love the dread head look of Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky Goldenboy, I nicknamed mine 1230. I've seen one that absolutely trolls anti-stall attempts.
Hoping you like this gen more than gen 8 and we can get more content from the best poketuber out there that doesn’t burn you out. Thanks for the content Weedle.
Farigiraf with agility, calm mind, Tera blast, and stored power. It’s also Tera fighting to counter dark types and weakness policy to increase is special attack and stored power damage. Managing to sweep with this is so satisfying
Scovilian with spicy extract. Foul play, the new amulete and mirror herb items, clear body and other things just sinergize so well with scovilian because of that move, and in a sun team especially, scovilian can still do a LOT of damage, being able to use solar beam and powered up flamethrowers. It's really fun.
Qotd: cetitan is one I've found myself orbiting around. I found a shiny of it on normal odds so i just have to show it off. I've been trying to do slush rush belly drum strat with it but so many tailwind around making that hard. I have put the ability to sheer force and I'm using trick room with the new item on slowking to counter torkoal also. along with generally having lower speed on cetitan than most things using tailwind it kinda works out. But I'm keeping my own murkrow in the back. It's a weird set but I've had very minimal help with this Pokémon.
As someone who knows both Draining Kiss and Grass Knot make contact specifically for random Pickpocket strats, I appreciate highlighting these interactions quite a bit. I know you might not want more Trick Room strats, but ran into a Bellibolt next to Ground Tera Bronzong spamming Bulldoze to activate Weakness Policy and the ability on the Bellibolt and I swear it had 100% para chance.
My team right now is Garchomp, Volcarona, Rotom-Wash, Indeedee, Tinkaton and Talonflame. I made the team thinking I would lead Garchomp + Talonflame basically every game but after a few games I just started using Tinkaton instead and it's been working really well for me. Fake out + tailwind first then gigaton hammer to OHKO a lot of mons or chunk bulkier ones. She is probably my favorite pokemon in this team.
My favorite strat is probably using Normal Tera-type Guts Flareon, holding a nice little Flame Orb. It's nice, because I can actually USE the Flame Orb AND Guts on Flareon this gen, but it also gives me STAB for Facade. Tera-Electric Rotom-Freeze is also pretty wild too. Very strong just by itself once Terastallized!
First thing until you have your own unique taste in the teams am good with it Weedle. 1. I liked the maushold support set. 2. I would like to see brambleghast in the spotlight. Sorry if I spelled anything wrong but you get it. Awsome Video as always ^o^
I’ve been using your channel for ASMR to sleep so thanks lol P.s I do Watch videos again during the day cause I love your sets and have used a bit of them
Slaking + grafaiai is super fun, try it. I've tried making it super tanky with assault vest + tera rock + sand setter and you can probably also do a full offence version with choice band + tera rock + rock slide + max speed and att. There's probably other sets you can use too
Your brain is insane! The level of craft your team has is on another level, I wish to be this creative one day, for now Im just using girafarig + population bomb maushold to get to master tier
They literally just used one as a Dondozo counter so I think it will be a pretty funny counter to a lot of set up mons. It'll be used basically as a weirder version of Snatch in a way.
thank you for putting out these videos, i really have zero interest in playing scarlet/violet but always find your content entertaining. love you weedle
QOTD: Honestly my favorite outside of your S-tier meme strats (I loved that Espathra opportunist play) is Wolfey's team including Orthworm, Quaquavel, and Kilowattrel.
I love the Toxic Orb Tatsugiri + Dodonzo, then sending in Co-star Flamigo when Tatsugiri faints lol, it's not necessarily a consistent strategy, but it's fun when it works!
My favorite stategy/pokémon is Loaded Dice Jolteon using Pin Missile on Annihilape to get Rage Fist to 250/300 quickly and then "trolling" with Thunder Wave/Mud Slap. It's specially funny against Dondozo teams. Arboliva also heals the Annihilape and holds the Rocky Helmet, which pretty much funnels in the Population Bombs Also skill swapping Harvest to Rabsca for many revives is probably my favorite thing
You always find such fun ways to damage stack, whether that's multiple Weakness Policy, Symbiosis Life Orb, Pickup Power Herb, Absorb Bulb, Z-Psych Up, Defiant Venom Drench...
QOTD1: My favorite has been actually a singles strategy but it's Skeledirge with Torch Song and then Yawn, Substitute and Slack Off - heavy defensive investment so I can guarantee switchins on non-special mons, yawn them away, sub and get torching! It was my day 1 set for the mon and the more I use it the more I like it
QOTD: Recently saw foo use Spicy Extract Scovillain + Foul Play Bombirdier to absolutely destroy physical attacks, seemed right up your ally! Love your content and thank you for being epic fr fr
QOTD: Been enjoying Flutter Mane, I usually play singles on Showdown and I combine it with Koraidon in a sun team in Nat Dex AG. That or Scarf Meowscarada in Nat Dex OU, Revavroom as a whole, or Tinkaton. The low attack on Tinkaton doesn't matter if you're banded or life orb and click the funny any time you're out
My intro being cut off and video being published at 360p, ya bitch was in a rush I'm sorry
Share team please😢
i can pretend that it normally looks good!
Love ma 'Avourite Weedle :D

YESSSSS we are seated.
Right! Clicked as soon as I saw it
Im sat
I sitted
I took atleast 5 seats
Honestly I'm super into Dancer teams. It's fun and Revolation Dance is one of my favorite moves
Yah more dancer bs
Some Dancer Quaquaval strats could be very fun
Yes weedle do this team love u
Dear god please, I need your insight on a fun dancer team.
I remember oricorio being my main pokemon in moon just because of dancer and revelation dance
QOTD: Your Espathra set to counter Donzozo- absolutely wild how effective that was, and basically any team can use it too just in the back pocket. Loved it.
Can't wait for when Xerneas inevitably gets added to SV. Looking forward to seeing it experience fear for the first time

I wanna see that
I’ve used it on my dopey face team. It does counter Dondozo/Tatsugiri with having unaware and haze as well as being able to use toxic and it working on trick room teams. I ran Earthquake as well to help vs. Gholdengo as well as ‘healing’ my Orthworm with its ability. You could try counter too to catch someone off guard, if they’ve boosted and expect to one shot but then don’t and die instead.
I too Anna see that
Clodsire gets After You. Skill Swap Prankster to him with Sableye for Prankster After You + Yawn. Seems fun.

:D Arboliva is my favorite new pokemon
So far, Arboliva has been my favorite new mon. I wasnt that big a fan of the middle evo (love smoliv) but the seed sower/terrain pulse combo really helped me see how cool this pokemon is.
its evolution line is really cute and then arboliva is just a slaying queen
Whaaa dolliv is so cute. Best girl ❤️
Why don't you like Dilov? She's cute.
Now you've done Oranguru, just feels right to use Passimian's Receiver
Very fun idea for sure
Interesting
So Oranguru gives its item away, and Passimian takes the ally's ability? That's such a neat bit of symmetry!
theyve done a showdown video with passimian's reciever before it was really good :3 id love to see if the combo still works in sv
Don’t put yourself down like that Weedle, making it to masterball tier with a team that is not standard, is very impressive.
Fr fr!
14:02
‘You don’t wanna underestimate endgame players. The moment you sleep on them, they’ll catch you slipping’ this absolutely ended me 🤣🤣
I’m late, but he actually said “in-game players” haha
Let’s go bestie. I’ve been binging your gen 7/8 content waiting for gen 9
Favorite strat I've used it baxcalibur earthquake next to a weak armor weakness policy armarouge (works with ceruledge too), with indeedee in the back to prevent priority and boost expanding force
So glad you're keeping the post commentary rather than trying to narrate during the battle like you did at the beginning of gen 8, this content is where you shine brightest!!
Your Arboliva hits sooo hard! How?! xD
The Bernadetta Tree surprises me. When the game came out no one was giving it any form of respect... And I just saw it has usages in UBER?! Incredible! As much as that Armarouge. This Pokémon is soooo cool and I really love to see it being used by both you and your opponents! Had some mirrors matches on this video and even though "Meta Weedle" wasn't expected it's much appreciated! ;D
The mousehold dying to rocky helmet is a certified hood classic
SV vgc battles have the same energy as the USUM vgc battles, and I'm all here for it. I cannot wait for the meme starts that weedle comes up with for 2023 and also the annual christmas team 👀
Didn't think the Olive could be so strong tbh... Great video:D
Qotd: Bellibolt! With parabolic charge It's pretty fun with a self proc electromorphosis and soak is a must have with all those Garchomp running around
yes parabolic charge bellibolt would-be a huge slay
This team is so godlike I love ur shiny Oranguru wow so lucky
Answering the question, my first battle in Beginner tier was against Weakness Policy Tera Rock Tyranitar coupled with Life Orb Symbiosis Oranguru with Bulldoze.
I won because Banded Dragapult is ridiculous with Tera Dragon DDarts, but I was terrified
you’re literally a genius queen, pls continue to inspire us all
I liked that you uploaded a losing video. Not everybody does it and they are the ones that are usually more interesting from a competitive view.
I’m a huge fan of The Tink, I’m sure you already are thinking of strats for Gigaton Hammer lol. Would love to see a strat using some of the forgotten Gen 6 guys like Gogoat & Pyroar!
tinks one of my favorite new pokemon purely because of its dex entry
Gogoat has potential because of tera typing and it’s ability to increase defense on terrain. Tinkerton could be used with swagger+own tempo but it’s risky.
I wish Pyroar was better, I really do.
i love the little hammer gremlin i just want to see her thrive
It's giving USUM content, so glad we have this content
QOTD: I wanna see Maushold just not abusing Population Bomb
Uselesshold then 🐭
@@Painjusu i mean it still has tidy up and technician, it can’t be totally useless
it’s like dragon dance cinccino
How about Population Bomb x Terastal Annihilape?
It's got Friend Guard Follow Me, plus a decent supporty movepool.
@@FlickeringStatic just use beat up
Some of your combos are insane!!! Breaking the meta love it!!

Excited for the multiple battle vids to be back
thank you for putting out these videos, i really have zero interest in playing scarlet/violet but always find your content entertaining. love you weedle
I'm liking the USUM vibes. I might make a video on psychic terrain. That and electric terrain are the only ones I haven't covered yet
That's what I was searching for. I wanted to create a team with oranguru and this one is a veeery good starting point. Great work
That Arboliva strat was cold af great job
I need more grass move strats. You are the one that introduced me to Cherrim, so I wait with bated breath for it
QOTD: Honestly my favorite outside of your S-tier meme strats (I loved that Espathra opportunist play) is Wolfey's team including Orthworm, Quaquavel, and Kilowattrel.
No one watches the end of the video 😂😂😂 I respect you for posting that last fight. Brilliant battling overall
Thanks for this. Got to ultra using your team
That support oranguru is dope. Really clever use of items and abilities.
I would love a gravity theme team. Using gravity as well as low accuracy moves, maybe even the gravapple attack to get the boosted damage.
QOTD: my favorite strat i've used in gen 9 so far definitely has to be pinchurchin with electric terrain with future paradox mons
would love to see you make a strat succeed using Grafaiai with Prankster and Doodle
I love the Toxic Orb Tatsugiri + Dodonzo, then sending in Co-star Flamigo when Tatsugiri faints lol, it's not necessarily a consistent strategy, but it's fun when it works!
My favorite stategy/pokémon is Loaded Dice Jolteon using Pin Missile on Annihilape to get Rage Fist to 250/300 quickly and then "trolling" with Thunder Wave/Mud Slap. It's specially funny against Dondozo teams. Arboliva also heals the Annihilape and holds the Rocky Helmet, which pretty much funnels in the Population Bombs
Also skill swapping Harvest to Rabsca for many revives is probably my favorite thing
I've been itching to try Unburden Grafaiai Doodle with Slacking. Kings Rock Maushold was interesting too
You always find such fun ways to damage stack, whether that's multiple Weakness Policy, Symbiosis Life Orb, Pickup Power Herb, Absorb Bulb, Z-Psych Up, Defiant Venom Drench...
Dachsbun Well-Baked Body strats perhaps 🤔
QOTD1: My favorite has been actually a singles strategy but it's Skeledirge with Torch Song and then Yawn, Substitute and Slack Off - heavy defensive investment so I can guarantee switchins on non-special mons, yawn them away, sub and get torching! It was my day 1 set for the mon and the more I use it the more I like it
