@@ourlordandsaviorramen9546f course!

Rain teams, Rock types, dragon if you do tera it (since a lot sun is built around fire moves and solar beam aside from proto mons), for me it’s always been reliable in either taking out the counters, I know it’s fast but it’s still great against faster mons to take a hit and volt switch for a clean switch, or at the very worse getting great damage in to the counters so others like scarf Chi-Yu and banded proto speed Roaring Moon on my team can clean.

Slowbro was viable when Palafin was on every team because it was the only 100% counter. Everybody was running Amoongus, Clodsire, or Toxapex as their answer but Pal can literally adapt and throw on Zen Headbutt to own every one of those guys.
definitely though hes not as good in higher elo since it's obvious what tera it is and it's easy to prepare against since many of the top tier ou mons do well against dnite. it's probably why it's considered just below top tier. def better than roaring moon imo though. roaring moon is overrated

It's always interesting to me to see the difference in viability and usage between singles and VGC stuff. Like Maushold is actually really strong in VGC with a couple viable sets. Pop Bomb w/ Tera OHKOing anything that doesn't resist can be bonkers, or friend guard redirection, or even gimmick stuff with Justified or Ape partners all see play.

Amoonguss is a mainstay in VGC and Brute Bonnet acts as an offensive version of it so before we got the Series 1 ruleset it was seeing heavy play. And then you have Gholdengo that's just running roughshod over both formats. At least my Scrappy Flamigo is somewhat viable as a way to stop it.
Life orb Quackquaval is my favorite Pokémon to play with rn in the current meta. It’s really fun to use and is great mid to late game. It’ll probably be ass once we got more stall and bulky mons, but for now it’s really fun to use.

Apparently the VGC crowd think that Brute Bonnet is on paper the most cracked paradox Mon which is wild to consider when he’s probably seen as the worst for singles play. Funny who different the two metas are but also nice to know that even if a mon is bad in singles it still have use elsewhere
@@ohnoitsdominoes5393 I think Flutter Mane and Iron Bundle were also considered to be real cracked in VGC too. Brute Bonnet being considered to be on the same level as those two in any format feels pretty wild tho lol
I do think quaquaval could become more viable once and if tera goes because that means dirge cannot switch in anymore without tera even if dirge still has unaware, because dirge relies on tera and wisp to beat Quaquaval, and without tera it cannot switch in safely to Quaval. Looking forward to see Quaquaval getting better, because Quaquaval is fire right now! (And looking at urshifu rapid strike as its only competition, Urshifu Rapid Strike is likely banworthy with SD in its movepool now.)
Brute Bonnet will be better as the meta develops. We only need to look at Breloom to see how good Pokémon that force the opponent to predict either a spore or a powerful attack can be and while Brute Bonnet has a worse defensive typing and worse speed, Breloom with 70 speed was never going to outspeed much anyway. Both have similar attack stats (130 and 127), but Brute Bonnets defensive stats are far superior, 60/80/60 vs 111/99/99 which offsets its defensive typing. Both have powerful pirority, Breloom has a more reliable but weaker 60 power (not including STAB) Mach punch whereas BB has sucker punch at 70 power. However, the moves sim to hit different targets, Breloom hits the numerous darks types of the tier such as Chien Pao, Chi Yi, Kingambit and Roaring Moon whereas BB hits the many ghosts such as Goldhengo and Dragapult. Additionally, BB also has fighting coverage in Close Combat. It definitely won’t be a metagame defining Pokémon, probably not even a top threat but should carve a solid niche as low B/high C tier.
its cause the rankings are decided by usage and not by choice. People just didn't use it in November as the meta was still developing Next list will move mons to UUBL or back OU by the new usage
@@noble610 Hp and defence are relatively low as well, it's just predictable and shutdown to easily. Being a decent team builder doesn't account for a mons overall ability compared to others in the tiers. Sure go ahead and make it work, it's still a D tier mon.
Comparing Sylveon and Scream Tail is that Sylveon has lower physical defense and higher offensive stats, where Screamer is super tanky with those stats and is faster. Scream gives you better and faster utility and is probably more useful 9/10 times.

I think that Tyranitar deserves B because it helps in a lot of niche ways. Most chiyu are scarf, so they have to tera into a prediction to beat him. His sand also makes it a lot harder to use multiscale. And it can spread paralysis around, or possibly run ice beam to predict great tusk. Idk it’s definitely not good but it does a few things ting lu can’t.
I was so down on Floatzel until I saw a Joey vid with it on Rain. Tera Water Wave Crash with band hits like...508 or something stupid attack. It 2HKOed Rotom-Wash and it was unreal
They need a move tier list, so half the new moves can be added to S. No Generation has had so many new moves be signature moves. This generation added 48 new moves, of which only EIGHT aren’t a signature move; Terablast, Pounce, Trailblaze, Chilling Water, Comeuppance, and Ice Spinner, Aqua Cutter, and Axe Kick.. which may as well be, 3 things learn it. That’s the true definition of power creep, make moves that only the newest mons can utilise, while older mons have to use generic moves instead. Enjoy your Flare Blitz user, Armorouge gets Armor Cannon, and is the only user of a fire type Close Combat! Rage? Nooo, the new Primeape evo gets Rage Fist, and no other older Pokémon can get it. Nothing else gets Population Bomb, Last Respects, Shed Tail (every snake like Arbok and Seviper should), Tidy Up, Kowtow Cleave, Glaive Rush, Jet Punch, Make It Rain, Hyper Drill, Torch Song, Flower Trick, etc. And no generation has added more moves with more than one secondary effect either. Shed Tail is Substitute AND Teleport, Flower Trick never misses and always crits, Chilly Reception is Snowscape/Hail and Teleport, Tidy Up is Rapid Spin and Dragon Dance, and then a bunch of abilities now also combine the effects of two abilities into one. I FOOKIN HATE IT.

I don't understand the hype for Ceruledge. What the hell are you supposed to do to like, any fire resist? They aren't in any short order, and your only option in almost every case is to immediately blow your tera. Even with ghost tera blast that's a huge sink just to function like a normal pokemon
@@biguzivertt gholdengo provides more utility and can do more than chi Yu although chi Yu is stronger (not to say that gholdengo is weak). One of the things that goes into viability is how splashable/easy to fit on a team. By this logic, gholdengo is definitely more viable
@@biguzivertt Chiyu absolutely takes it in damage output but goldengo is sooo freaking versatile you never really know what set an opposing goldengo will run, Chiyu is always scarf or specs, and on the rare occasions it's heavyduty boots, but overall Gholdengo definitely bring more options to the table.
i think pokemon did shit with how everypokemon is closed to not learning moves that are typical for example what i mean by this is( on top of the fact that little to zero non toxic type can learn toxic is really bad) that a top-mid average mon like kilowattrel could be so strong with just the possibility to use defog, but it doesn't and even if in the up coming dlc's they do give it, im expecting waaay to op mons for it to be meta

47:30 If an iron trends tries to wall my masquerian I just click hydropump lol
I think that Tyranitar deserves B because it helps in a lot of niche ways. Most chiyu are scarf, so they have to tera into a prediction to beat him. His sand also makes it a lot harder to use multiscale. And it can spread paralysis around, or possibly run ice beam to predict great tusk. Idk it’s definitely not good but it does a few things ting lu can’t.
When y'all going stop sleeping on sheer force squakabilly with tailwind.
Daddy God Blunder AKA mr swag blessed my teambuilding🙏 Couldn't do it myself bro. All I know is to type showdown and add Chi-Yu! Thank you Lord Heat!
Where would Wo-Chien land do you think? B or B- or am I over-estimating it?
F-
S++
They continue to sleep on Wo😭😭😭
I was so down on Floatzel until I saw a Joey vid with it on Rain. Tera Water Wave Crash with band hits like...508 or something stupid attack. It 2HKOed Rotom-Wash and it was unreal
yo they got my favs up there shoutout to SoftUAV, JOAT and smell they finally made the viability rankings 🙏
Yeah Maushold is not as broken, unless it's enemies are slowed and or have low defense
So basically put up your hazards and dish out some T-Waves before sending in the cleaners to clean out the opposing hazards? 🤔
They need a move tier list, so half the new moves can be added to S. No Generation has had so many new moves be signature moves. This generation added 48 new moves, of which only EIGHT aren’t a signature move; Terablast, Pounce, Trailblaze, Chilling Water, Comeuppance, and Ice Spinner, Aqua Cutter, and Axe Kick.. which may as well be, 3 things learn it.
That’s the true definition of power creep, make moves that only the newest mons can utilise, while older mons have to use generic moves instead. Enjoy your Flare Blitz user, Armorouge gets Armor Cannon, and is the only user of a fire type Close Combat! Rage? Nooo, the new Primeape evo gets Rage Fist, and no other older Pokémon can get it. Nothing else gets Population Bomb, Last Respects, Shed Tail (every snake like Arbok and Seviper should), Tidy Up, Kowtow Cleave, Glaive Rush, Jet Punch, Make It Rain, Hyper Drill, Torch Song, Flower Trick, etc. And no generation has added more moves with more than one secondary effect either. Shed Tail is Substitute AND Teleport, Flower Trick never misses and always crits, Chilly Reception is Snowscape/Hail and Teleport, Tidy Up is Rapid Spin and Dragon Dance, and then a bunch of abilities now also combine the effects of two abilities into one. I FOOKIN HATE IT.
Blunder is just Finch's alt when he's off his meds
Let's go, you can post 10 rumble videos a week and I'd probably listen to all of them
holy crap Blunder and CBB Let's Play Pokemon Rumble when?
Discussion videos >>>
29:56 and brute bonnet had the same BST 😆
Scarf Charizard > specs
Skeledirdge still cant switch into Terra overheat from char it's a 2hko
Let’s go brother one of my people
Skeledirge also can't switch on Chi-Yu, so still no real reason to use it over Chi-Yu or Protosynthesis mons
@@lucayaki I like turn 1 leading torkoal vs tusk and being able freely switch in zard to force an early kill. It's niche for pure sun builds is not to be slept on. Sure chi yu is the better and easier mon to use but I get more satisfaction deleting stuff with Zard.
“I would sooner use leftovers chansey over gyarados” 😭😭
Brute Bonnet got the Harry Kane kit 💀
And the Buzzwole treatment of being physically unable to get speed boosts from its ability
magnezone is in the game? why isn’t tera ground to kill gholdengo and king gambit while also merc’ing corv not higher up in the meta?
Gholdengo is not trapped due to being part ghost. It also has Focus Blast if it decides to stay, for some reason
Notice how they didn't put my mans Wo Chien on the VR.
Bro Espathra was in UU for like a week. A hellish and torturous week.
I don't understand the hype for Ceruledge. What the hell are you supposed to do to like, any fire resist? They aren't in any short order, and your only option in almost every case is to immediately blow your tera. Even with ghost tera blast that's a huge sink just to function like a normal pokemon
tera bug ceruledge with bulk up is the way to go with flash fire
Anyone know that one website that shows tournament winning pokemon?
how is gold above chi yu
Ghold is insanely op, chi yu could never
Gold's usage stats speak for themself, he's on almost 40% of all teams if I remember correctly
@@victorpopescu8073 he’s not better than chi yu
@@biguzivertt gholdengo provides more utility and can do more than chi Yu although chi Yu is stronger (not to say that gholdengo is weak). One of the things that goes into viability is how splashable/easy to fit on a team. By this logic, gholdengo is definitely more viable
@@biguzivertt Chiyu absolutely takes it in damage output but goldengo is sooo freaking versatile you never really know what set an opposing goldengo will run, Chiyu is always scarf or specs, and on the rare occasions it's heavyduty boots, but overall Gholdengo definitely bring more options to the table.
Floatzel being underestimated check the calcs under rain with wave crash
Does this is apply to VGC? Cyclizar seems better in Singles
Nah this is for OU
agent whoa missing? what were they thinking🤔
What does UR stand for?
Tera steel haxorus underrated. Sweeps whole ou teams if enemy predicts wrong turn one
Yeah this tier list is kinda shit not gonna lie how tf is haxorus and Salamance in the lowest tier 😐
A true travesty that they didn't give Gyarados Wave Crash. DD/Wave Crash/Earthquake/??? + tera water would have been fun
i think pokemon did shit with how everypokemon is closed to not learning moves that are typical for example what i mean by this is( on top of the fact that little to zero non toxic type can learn toxic is really bad) that a top-mid average mon like kilowattrel could be so strong with just the possibility to use defog, but it doesn't and even if in the up coming dlc's they do give it, im expecting waaay to op mons for it to be meta
The Brute bonnet slander is egregious it’s very good. Terra fire loaded dice 🎲 bullet seed terrablast sucker punch synthesis most things that resist bullet seed get cooked by sun boosted terrablast.
Also Weavile, feels like people forgot just how mediocre it was pre-Gen 8
It's top tier in Gen 6 OU rn, though
Imagine if there was still flying gem and you could run tera flying chien pao and just nuke something with acrobatics
First impression is the same priority as extreme speed
mimikyu is faster than tapu lele by 1 point, and you can use a free sword dance with life orb, so it's not a bad mon by any means.
Scarfed charizard is the way trust me plus tera fire nothing wants that heat
Ceruledge C is delusional
Bro they need to give gengar levitate again they removed it because it was overpowered but now after a couple of gens I think it will make it good enough to use at least
Gholdengo is just broken in a really stupid and uninteresting way where all of its traits are just unbelievable.
First Impression and Fake Out are in the same priority tier
Fake out is +3, 1st impression is +2
No way? So First Impression is on the same level of priority as E Speed? And can only be used turn 1 like Fake Out? That's lame...
@@justinjacobson9837 you’re talking about a 90BP move that can inflict SE damage on 3 types, it’s balanced.
