I can respect it. He's covering for the weather war, if Torkoal comes out he loses the weather and the bridge is threatened by a super effective eruption (with possible follow me support). Him being terra electric removes the fire weakness and boosts the electroshot into Torkoal's terrible sp.def. I don't know if he'll survive with archaludon's terrible special bulk but it's a coverage set to make the team less dependent on setting rain atleast.
Btw a set i can recommend on these kind of weezings is Zoom lens and gunk shot. You almost always hit last or at least after an opponent, which makes the will o wisp and gunk shot 100 percent accurate. Ran it in a regional, felt a lot more consistent, even though you dont have the sitrus bulk
i've always liked Weezing/Slaking more than Weezing/Gigas, cause you don't have to lead Weezing, i often lead maybe Murkrow or even another offensive threat, cause Slaking is still gonna nuke something T1. Weezing is also really good right now. Rain teams are really powerful and they are very sad without rain, not to mention that Tatsugiri is running choice items these days, so it also shuts down Dozo. Slaking can do many things, i'm personally running Choice Band right now, so that i can one shot annoying pokemon like Amoonguss and Faririgiraf, there is also obviously the bulk up drain punch set, and the life orb set we see here. I really really like it, knock off over sucker is better tho in my opinion.
It hurt to see so many misses. I feel like recently my RNG has been like this for some reason, super frustrating to lose off of a 5% or 10% chance after making super good reads
bro yesterday i went negative on the most insane streak of things that i think ever happened to me, i got crit by -4 draco meteor, i got hit by blind hurricane + confuse self hit and i hit ONCE on wide lense population bomb. After those 3 games i stopped playing cause it clearly wasn't my day 🤣
If Slaking had a few select unique moves that he could use during the truant turn it would be a awesome pokemon. Anything to punish protecting in front of it on the off turns. Maybe slack off going through truant, or something that reduces incoming damage for the truant turn (either baked in the ability or as a move).
bruh, unless that grimmsnarl in game 3 was adamant and high attack, that crit was a really unfavorable roll to kill too, like holy that was unlucky (edit): nvm he actually has to be adamant and max or almost max attack for his sucker punch to have also down 60 to weezing on a crit so the crit was guaranteed ohko on gholdengo, but the crit did still matter, max without crit is 95.7
That much speed in weezing is pointless just run 236 in special def and I like a bit less investment in my attack on slaking to get more points into special defense I find that I do similar damage at a 136 Calc and live thru make it rain also running fairy Tera can help against the anaialape match ups
Because slaking’s main partner weezing would take big damage from that since it’s running neutralizing gas instead of levitate. Also there’s a rillaboom on the team and grassy terrain halves the power of Earthquake whereas high horsepower is unaffected. Could be more reasons but that’s what comes to my mind
In addition to the reasons mentioned, earthquake is way weaker due to be a spread move, hit your partner's and also is vulnerable to Wide Guard, so it's not really a good option
This season for me is bad. I'm losing games because my moves not landing. It's very annoying then games crashing on me. Been the most annoying season to have
Weezing keep missing Will-o-Wisp
Aaron "Cybertrong" Zheng:" First time? "
And when it does not miss... Lum Berry
With how much rain there is this format between Palafin, Archaludon and Pelliper, anything that can shut down weather is instantly pretty good
And Politoad :D
Time for altaria to shine
@@KathyXie altaria did pretty well in a tournament with cloud 9 and gravity + sing
It's funny to see James playing with Cyberton's RNG
especially after his video with the ninetales snow team
I did not know Slaking got sucker punch lol, what a beast (when its ability is off)
I ran giga impact for when he's alone. Major damage
It's always good seeing you battling against popular teams like the one Cybertron showcase in his last video 18:00
I wonder if Weezing carrying helping hand would have made a difference, since Slacking does so much damage it could OHKO more things
does weezing get that move?
“Gas or trash” weezing pun is very clever 😂
Honestly the quaqaval caught my attention more than the thumbnail duo that poor guy has been the black sheep of the starter trio this gen
Quaquaval my favorite of the starters this gen. It's nice in singles but people havent found the niche for it in doubles. I'm personally trying
Aqua step, moxie is a nice combo, if you're allowed to get it going
Yessss, I yearn for the slaking content
I see James and Aaron playing better than ever with crazy predicts every single play like it was nothing
the power herb bridge on a rain team is so wild to me
I can respect it. He's covering for the weather war, if Torkoal comes out he loses the weather and the bridge is threatened by a super effective eruption (with possible follow me support).

@@SkyNinja759 i see what you're saying :) seems good for best of one as well to watch ppl off guard
@@SkyNinja759 bridge is not weak to fire
Build myself a Slaking Team for Reg H too (with Weezing-G) and ended up Rank 101 yesterday. Now i was looking for some upgrades and im here :D
Hell yeah, slaking and weezing together are a force to be reckoned with
Since the Paradox Pokemon are gone, how is grafaiai? Doodle now works on most Pokemon.
weezings a funny guy
mankind is a funny guy

ofc you would not run 220 speed evs then
I love Weezing
Love ur videos

This video was amazing

Yes dude. I swear I miss moves like rock slide or heat wave but never miss a clutch fire blast or sleep powder

So weird, I thought I clicked on a James Baek video but it feels like I'm watching Aaron 'Cybertron' Zheng 😂

Proof that in Pokemon, 90% means 1 out of 5 hits
I love James calling out the worst case scenarios right before they actually happen 😂 it’s offensive grim
Damn that sucker punch from grim...
How about knockoff on rillaboom instead of glide since you don't always have the terrain up
bruh, unless that grimmsnarl in game 3 was adamant and high attack, that crit was a really unfavorable roll to kill too, like holy that was unlucky
(edit): nvm he actually has to be adamant and max or almost max attack for his sucker punch to have also down 60 to weezing on a crit so the crit was guaranteed ohko on gholdengo, but the crit did still matter, max without crit is 95.7
Will-o_Miss
the luck james was having with these games had me chuckling.
lots of tera ghosts today

Schiller Wall
this is what happens when you spend too much time with Aaron Zheng...you miss every move
why high horse power over earthquake?
Grassy terrain from Rilla would weaken the earthquake
Because slaking’s main partner weezing would take big damage from that since it’s running neutralizing gas instead of levitate. Also there’s a rillaboom on the team and grassy terrain halves the power of Earthquake whereas high horsepower is unaffected. Could be more reasons but that’s what comes to my mind

Its gas but the Weezing and Rilla also need glasses.
All the misses were painful to watch :
