    Hey Aaron,
    I was your opponent game 4. Just wanna say you are the one who got me into vgc about 10 or so years ago so it was a big honor to get to play you :). I've started taking vgc more seriously since SV and have been going to tournaments. Thanks for inspiring and teaching me hopefully we can meet at an IC or play again sometime :).

    QOTD: I would buff Banette. Right now I don't really see anything this Pokémon can do reasonably well, which is unfortunate, because it has such a cool and creepy design.

      @jamesaditya5254 26 днів тому +2

      @@egrettacaerulea it has Prankster and a respectable attack stat, but the defenses are really lacking on both ends. Wolfe used it back in the days to win a regionals with a full support set in ORAS which means pre-nerfed Destiny Bond. Not having an item to hold is really holding it back it feels like, also making it your 1 mega per game feels like too expensive of an opportunity cost

    • @sandwich4763
      @sandwich4763 26 днів тому +1

      @@egrettacaerulea Debatable. It has access to Prankster + Destiny Bond and also a really high attack stat, which is both great. However, it's still slow, frail and has quite a limited physical movepool with only getting STAB on ghost type attacks. I still like it, but I'll be honest, there are probably a lot better megas (Salamence, Kangahskan and Mawile to name a few). Since you can only use one Mega, it's hard to justify using it on Banette if you care about winning.
      However Megas don't even exist in current day Pokémon, but I think they will return in the next games (at least so I've heard).

    • @egrettacaerulea
      @egrettacaerulea 25 днів тому

      @sandwich4763 In Legends Z-A? Absolutely. Megas have already been announced.
      In Gen 10? If they introduce new megas in PLZA, they'll most likely want to let you use them in their keystone games. (That doesn't mean they won't wait for DLC expansions.)

    The thing I love about CybertronVGC is just how chill and analytical he is about his games. He's never upset, and if the opponent makes a strong play he'll walk you through it. Cybertron, it's always fun hearing you think through the matchup and explaining why certain plays work or don't work. Keep up the great content!
    P.S. Try pausing the video on turn start to think through what *you'd* do in that position, and compare it to what ends up happening!

      It's got good doubles tools like Rage Powder/String Shot in gen 9 and Regulation H's highest BST pokemon are the pseudos (Dragons and Metagross). Bug lets Poison take Ground and Psychic attacks neutrally. If they buffed Bug and gave Ariados some extra defenses I think it'd be perenially good in Doubles, or at least keep a small niche. It is fun to see it lol 😅

    Last time I answered QotD, you asked for an ice type to buff and I said Frosslas...tempted to pick that again because I like it a lot, but I'm gonna say Jellicent, it's so close to being a really solid bulky support pokemon, but it just falls short. Most of all I'd say replace it's hidden ability with just about anything that's genuinely useful for that role? Maybe give it a few points in defence while they're at it... doesn't really even need particularly more support moves than it's fairly impressive Gen VIII list, although instead of a HA update, Rage Powder or Follow Me would launch it up in viability, possibly a bit too far even.

      Official pokemon names in Japanese aren't in kanji. They are written in katakana. Trainers can nickname them in kanji if they want but the official spelling is in katakana. And no, Aaron can't read Japanese, that's why sometimes he mistakes which pokemon is coming out or why he wasn't sure which one had the grassy seed in game 3. He's just used to seeing them a lot so now he recognizes a lot of the common ones.

    Ghost buff? Dusknoir. It's less bulky than Dusclops with Eviolite without any real offensive benefit cause it's only 100 attack and physical ghost moves are scarce.
    My proposed buff would be to give it 20 more base HP so it can at least have a bit of bulk to go with the offensive investment, and then give it a strong ability, either something like Shadow Tag or Magic Guard to ignore Life Orb recoil, or even Sheer Force if you wanna make use of all that coverage it has in its moveset
