Elo bro, i wanna use this team on the game battle tower, im thinking of swapping natu for espeon wich has morning sun and stored power, ho should be my third member ? pls answer bro
ELO Bandit I have an interesting gimmick. I watched a video by foofootoo(Credit him if u make a video about this) which showed the mechanics of Liquid voice. If a Pokemon with liquid voice uses perish song it beacomes a water move. This means that water absorb and dry skin pokemon are immune to it. Being the troll I am i decided to use eviolite brionne because its more hilarious and more tanky. As you can imagine it is not the most consistent but is really funny to play with and many of my friends raged alot. I recommend this team in Doubles OU format Here is a battle I played with this team: replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7vgc2018-721809269 Believe me I have many more Brionne battles but dont want to spam you Here is the team: Brionne @ Eviolite Ability: Liquid Voice EVs: 200 HP / 244 Def / 64 SpD Calm Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Perish Song - Protect - Aqua Ring - Surf Lanturn @ Leftovers Ability: Water Absorb EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Whirlpool - for trapping opponents - Protect - Ice Beam - Scald Gothitelle @ Sitrus Berry Ability: Shadow Tag EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD Calm Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Protect - Skill Swap - Ally Switch - just generally to be trolly - Swagger - just generally to be trolly Gengar-Mega @ Gengarite Ability: Cursed Body Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Protect - Perish Song - Shadow Ball - Dazzling Gleam Politoed @ BrightPowder - just generally to be trolly Ability: Drizzle EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Calm Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Perish Song - Protect - Hypnosis - just generally to be trolly - Encore - just generally to be trolly Parasect @ Rocky Helmet Ability: Dry Skin EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Calm Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Rage Powder - just generally to be trolly - Protect - Leech Seed - just generally to be trolly - Spore - just generally to be trolly BTW brionne can kill alot of things. This team was made by me and i thought of the idea but the person who discovered the mechanics and inspired me to make this team was FooFooToo
MysticVulpix This is a really good idea. Hoping ELO Bandit sees this and makes a video about it. However, once Brionne uses Perish Song what if the enemy catches on and switches out before you switch from Brionne into Gothitelle next turn to force a Shadow Tag? What can you do to prevent switch-ins from ruining the strategy?
I fought this exact set on the PU suspect test ladder. I would have lost to it but luckily I still had my stunktank in the back and was able to crit with crunch after 20 crunches
Great video, but you really need to balance out your voice volume with your music volume. It's always been a big deal but since you're constantly switching between gameplay footage and explanation, I constantly have to adjust my volume or I either can't hear you or the music blasts my ears.
็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็็ The music is the right volume. The voice volume is far too quiet, keep the master volume at 12, 75% from the top.
Nice video. I was thinking of a gimmick. What if you setup Stealth Rocks,Spikes and Toxic Spikes, use a Pokèmon with the Prankster ability, use Assist and summon a phasing like Roar to eventually wear down your opponent. I'd be awesome if you made this, you really deserve more subscribers.
Btw, I used a gimmick with a friend once that was pretty funny. A Gravity/Sticky Web "team". It is quite useful so the flying types are hit by the sticky web as well! Also you can run random shit with it. Stuff like Gravity/Dynamic Punch on Mega Medicham. Maybe you could try it out yourself :]
one comment i have is that i’ve noticed your voiceover is mixed much quieter than the music you include. i don’t know if this decision is intentional, but it’s just something i’ve noticed. they’re still great videos with great pokémon content
Here's a fun strategy for you. It's not at all mine. Works in both Singles and Doubles. Grassy Terrain + Secret Power (Serene Grace) Sawsbuck + Rain = Unfun Sleep. Run some Steel types too to take advantage of rain.
I think Dusknoir is better than Hypno because have more attack and ko dark type pokemon with Destiny Bond Dusknoir @ Fightinium Z Ability: Frisk EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD Adamant Nature - Counter - Focus Punch - Destiny Bond - Thief
Is the Meowstic-F set viable at all? I mean, it can't safely boost itself further and the Stored Power has an effective 140 STAB BP, which isn't much, as we can see here.
I'm not sure how, but I think you could play around with psychi shift or whatever it is that gives the enemy your debuffs. So for say, maybe have a curse or shell smash that boosts and hinders you and use psycho shift and they suffer with the consequences for. I'm sure there is something that could be done
Magearna @ Leftovers Ability: Soul-Heart EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Fleur Cannon - Heart Swap - Flash Cannon - Ice Beam Drop a Fleur Cannon, lowering your spA by 2. Then Heart Swap, reducing your opponent's spA instead and resetting your damage multiplier for another Fleur Cannon or appropriate coverage move.
Hey elo, i decided to run a dragonite in 1v1 with the set: Dragonite @ Groundium Z Ability: Multiscale EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Outrage - Double-Edge - Superpower - Earthquake As a joke and it was actually beastly, the only real counter was mimikyu which i ran a gyarados to counter Gyarados @ Gyaradosite Ability: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD Adamant Nature - Crunch - Outrage - Earthquake - Iron Head And in the third slot you can run anything but i ran Landorus @ Life Orb Ability: Sheer Force EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Earth Power - Extrasensory - Psychic - Sludge Wave I think the groundium Z dragonite is a decent gimmick that could maybe make it into a video
can you do a thunderus marshadow gimic where they get shutdown by para and confusion get em full on attack then switch to marshadow to where they take a good amount of damage or risk getting another mon killed or giving u the game with all the stats
Have you tried scarfed rampardos head smash in 1v1? it basically one shots everything and its only downside is it hurts to use it against sturdy pokemons and it has 80% accuracy
Hell yeah: H E A D S M A S H (Rampardos) @ Choice Scarf Ability: Mold Breaker Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 Atk / 12 Def / 244 Spe Jolly Nature - Head Smash - Earthquake - Fire Punch - Superpower
Just saw this, nice explanation and showcase! This is my original version of the team if anyone is interested www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pu-squad-dump.3613195/page-2#post-7746784 The purpose of Swalot is to sit on t-spikes, but I recently swapped him out for Victreebel as it provides the same purpose as Swalot but can also use nature power (tri attack) so you can at least attack before consuming your berry.
just as a general thing it’s a lot better to aim for specific values (tanking something at a certain ev value, for example) than just putting “a good amount” into an attacking stat. ik these videos aren’t that serious but if you’re going to put in random values it detracts from the usefulness of the strat
*Please* make your voice at least as loud as the music in the showdown clips
ok
Elo bro, i wanna use this team on the game battle tower, im thinking of swapping natu for espeon wich has morning sun and stored power, ho should be my third member ? pls answer bro
cellP8 Medicham or Gallade with Trick+Ring Target.
Charging inprogress . Thanks man, tried a few strats, the tower is just too haxy lol
No 1 is talking about that BASED ROOST from hypno into counter KO.
It's like the next level up from RestTalk
Definitely one of my fav gimmicks of all time with Meow-F
ELO Bandit I have an interesting gimmick. I watched a video by foofootoo(Credit him if u make a video about this) which showed the mechanics of Liquid voice.

What can you do to prevent switch-ins from ruining the strategy?
TheUKNutter the lanturn which is the pokemon with water absorb knows whirlpool
whirpool
as i said its now particularly viable but its fun to troll people with brionne
If u want more examples of this battles with this team i can send more
Dude you are underrated in the Pokémon community, I can’t wait to see your channel get huge
Dude, you are amazing! This is the true beauty of Pokémon what you are showing. Keep up the good work!
Such an underrated channel. I love you, Elo Bandit
Very unique idea, as always
yooo a natu, represent :']
sweet vid, didn't know you were a youtuber til now, grats on 5k too!
I was just watching your old gimmick videos and was like "I can't wait for what he does next"
Not disappointed
I love the medic quote in the thumbnail
your vids are always a treat
I like that team. As you see, Meowstic is my favourite Pokémon.
I've been having fun in gen 3 when you could call transform with assist. Transforming into mons with swagger boosts makes for some good laughs.
I have no idea you played Pokemon (I used to watch your TF2 videos a lot)
I fought this exact set on the PU suspect test ladder. I would have lost to it but luckily I still had my stunktank in the back and was able to crit with crunch after 20 crunches
Thanks for using my Son Poliwrath in this video. He needs some screen time and love.
Chatoy is so cute it definitely deserves that signature move. Z-Chatter should just hug everyone.
I once won a random battle because i Baton Passed 4 Calm Minds from a Smeargle to something with stored power that I don't remember
Great video, but you really need to balance out your voice volume with your music volume. It's always been a big deal but since you're constantly switching between gameplay footage and explanation, I constantly have to adjust my volume or I either can't hear you or the music blasts my ears.
Thanks for the feedback. I've been trying to improve in this area.

WTF with yout name?! 0-o
GaelX3D I like to nut on nutter butters.
Just kidding, nutter is british slang for idiot.
How on god's green earth did you find such a desecrated name?!
10:35 metronome roost into counter
Knew there’d be a gimmick for this move eventually, good stuff
Archmage Antonidas: Do you require my assistance?
Would tricking a ring target on an opposing dark type actually allow you to hit them?
They would still be immune to prankster, right?
Correct, Dark types are still immune to Prankster Assist even when tricked a Ring Target.
The liepard set is more viable on the meowstic-f team, sounds like
This team is one of my favorites by you
Congrats on 5k you deserve it
FINALLY, I have a shiny meowstic and have been searching for any good way to use it in competitive
I think i like the Spinda version with Contrary V-Create and Superpower more
Yea my day is fulfilled
meowstic os one of my favorite mons, you got a sub sir, keep on rocking
Nice video. I was thinking of a gimmick. What if you setup Stealth Rocks,Spikes and Toxic Spikes, use a Pokèmon with the Prankster ability, use Assist and summon a phasing like Roar to eventually wear down your opponent. I'd be awesome if you made this, you really deserve more subscribers.
Prankster Roar Copycat Riolu.
I like that idea! I bet you would reck in a draftmeta! Have you ever thought about doing one with your subscribers?
Btw, I used a gimmick with a friend once that was pretty funny.
A Gravity/Sticky Web "team". It is quite useful so the flying types are hit by the sticky web as well! Also you can run random shit with it. Stuff like Gravity/Dynamic Punch on Mega Medicham.
Maybe you could try it out yourself :]
this is really clever, great vid!
Elo, you are my hero, this is too brilliant,
Natu/Xatu are fun pokemon.
one comment i have is that i’ve noticed your voiceover is mixed much quieter than the music you include. i don’t know if this decision is intentional, but it’s just something i’ve noticed. they’re still great videos with great pokémon content
I got one skill swap contrary to anyone with moves like close combat and superpower
Another threat, crits since they bypass defense boosts
Here's a fun strategy for you. It's not at all mine. Works in both Singles and Doubles. Grassy Terrain + Secret Power (Serene Grace) Sawsbuck + Rain = Unfun Sleep. Run some Steel types too to take advantage of rain.
great video!! You deserve more subscribers in my opinion
I have to hold my ear up to the speaker on this video because of the mic levels then the music drops at full hp.
Hypno used metronome into roost which allowed him to tank the next hit and kill with counter. O.o
Hypno is the goat
I think Dusknoir is better than Hypno because have more attack and ko dark type pokemon with Destiny Bond
Dusknoir @ Fightinium Z
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Counter
- Focus Punch
- Destiny Bond
- Thief
Cool team. Mic is a little quiet tho
I love this format. This is really well done. Do you use a script?
I try to avoid sticking to an exact script, as it doesn't sound natural. Usually I'll write up an outline and change it bit by bit as I go.
Elo Bandit When I used to make videos, I wrote a script and made it feel as natural as possible. Do you think there’s a difference?
You should make a video on DIVECATS.
Edit: Also Assist V-Create teams
Elo Bandit plays TF2 confirmed
Nobody gonna point out the sick geometry dash title theme?
I found running roost can screw you at the worst possible time.
Creative as usual
I tried this first match in OU for lols and won and they had 2 dark types on their team very good
Neat.
Hail lord MEOWSTIC!!! Actually meowstic and blissy good combo?
Lmao little natu going in
Does multi turn moves also include charge moves like sky attack or solar beam?
Is the Meowstic-F set viable at all? I mean, it can't safely boost itself further and the Stored Power has an effective 140 STAB BP, which isn't much, as we can see here.
I'm not sure how, but I think you could play around with psychi shift or whatever it is that gives the enemy your debuffs. So for say, maybe have a curse or shell smash that boosts and hinders you and use psycho shift and they suffer with the consequences for. I'm sure there is something that could be done
Winnie Ma Topsy turvy
Psycho shift would just transfer status ailments
Magearna @ Leftovers
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Fleur Cannon
- Heart Swap
- Flash Cannon
- Ice Beam
Drop a Fleur Cannon, lowering your spA by 2. Then Heart Swap, reducing your opponent's spA instead and resetting your damage multiplier for another Fleur Cannon or appropriate coverage move.
Elo Bandit maybe choice band swap and do it to set up on them with like shadow tag, but no idea how I could do that
Hey elo, i decided to run a dragonite in 1v1 with the set:
Dragonite @ Groundium Z
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Outrage
- Double-Edge
- Superpower
- Earthquake
As a joke and it was actually beastly, the only real counter was mimikyu which i ran a gyarados to counter
Gyarados @ Gyaradosite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Crunch
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
And in the third slot you can run anything but i ran
Landorus @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Earth Power
- Extrasensory
- Psychic
- Sludge Wave
I think the groundium Z dragonite is a decent gimmick that could maybe make it into a video
Are there any gimmicks that use mat block
Do you think that this gimmich is usable in Anything Goes?
You can switcheroo an assault vest???
I thought that was not possible...
Klutz on Lopunny
Oh right I forgot that exists. Thank you :D
can you do a thunderus marshadow gimic where they get shutdown by para and confusion get em full on attack then switch to marshadow to where they take a good amount of damage or risk getting another mon killed or giving u the game with all the stats
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC
Have you tried scarfed rampardos head smash in 1v1? it basically one shots everything and its only downside is it hurts to use it against sturdy pokemons and it has 80% accuracy
Hell yeah:
H E A D S M A S H (Rampardos) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 12 Def / 244 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Head Smash
- Earthquake
- Fire Punch
- Superpower
I used it and a guy got genuinely angry at me because of that strategy and it was hilarious
Maybe a stupid question, but why is switcheroo toxic orb better than just toxic?
You don't want meowstic to call toxic
Love the team but how do you counter it
Bring dark types and don't let them die.
Just saw this, nice explanation and showcase! This is my original version of the team if anyone is interested www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pu-squad-dump.3613195/page-2#post-7746784 The purpose of Swalot is to sit on t-spikes, but I recently swapped him out for Victreebel as it provides the same purpose as Swalot but can also use nature power (tri attack) so you can at least attack before consuming your berry.
Doesn’t Meowstic learn stored power on its own? Whats the point of using assist and building a team around the meowstic?
Assist is a status move, so Prankster calls Stored Power with priority - psychic nuke before anything else happens.
Elo Bandit Ah, I see. Thanks.
OMG 2000 to 5000 suba so fast
m e e m .
Can you speak up in your videos? They always sound like you're talking in a hallway 30 ft. from the mic.
*Dayum Son*
BTW, Why Natu And Not Xatu?
VDragon54 Oh, Not Familiar With PU Mons
Turn up ur mic baby 😩💕
Hello is this god?
First.
Awesome Gimmick
just as a general thing it’s a lot better to aim for specific values (tanking something at a certain ev value, for example) than just putting “a good amount” into an attacking stat. ik these videos aren’t that serious but if you’re going to put in random values it detracts from the usefulness of the strat
If I can't specify what an EV is for, it's likely all the rest of the points dumped into a stat after benchmarking speed and probably defense.
Yo I've seen this team before the other day and it messed me up I almost won to
this is kinda like the pokeaim vid
assist spikes stealth rock circle throw? (or roar)
Strat-egy can't call those moves, and assist would call rocks or spikes too. Prankster + copycat won't work anymore either
Yeet
meowstic to nu?

not that good, gets countered too easily by stall.
btw I beat you with stall so personal experience
It's a PU gimmick team, calm down Lance
