who do you think won this patch?
I think slowbro
so helpful!!!!!! thanks
Slowbro
brokenbro
falinks
Venusaur and Slowbro’s buffs in tandem are pretty substantial. Slowbro was already one of the best back line tanks, and now he has access to a whopping 60% attack debuff. That’s huge for neutering divers and assassins from getting to Venu and killing it. It also really hurts any attack based healing or shields. Add that with sludge bomb’s now 40% SpDef reduction and Slowbro Venusaur is going to be a potent combo together.
Now we can only play sp attackers
Assault Velt is a staple item on defenders this season
@@IthquaisChibi sp. attackers are doing so bad since last season, it's not a bad thing
I like the fact that the patch have a name, it's just plain cool
Falinks was the real winner, from the holy trio(ttar,falinks,miraidon) was the only one dodging nerfs...
Great point
Spragels please help me choose which pokemon to buy I'm confused between tyranitar , mimikyu, Gyradose
@@ZOROUCHIHA741 buy mimikyu ,definetly not getting nerfs lol
But, when they buff Blaziken healing, it actual an effective counter to Falinks.
It has been over 1 year and 17 patches since Sableye last received any updates. The count continues
How has Charizard still not received a battlepass and the buffs to go along with it? It's actually insane how Char is treated in this game.
Free char til its backwards😔🗣️
Good, because char gets the special treatment in every other game…it is the only pokemon to have TWO megas and a Dynamax form. Such an overhyped mon 😒
@@jessicamendoza9407 Both forms are no longer in the game and Incineroar is still the best fire type and one of the best mons in competitive, so what's your point.
Also, of it's two megas, only Y was relevant as a support and G-Max was a sweeper, without those forms, Zard is not that great lol
@@dudocainenot true on mega y it was in the top 3 for megas due to its power go look at false swipe gaming
@dudocaine That wasn't their point lol idrc about Charizard either it's just a fire dragon with a flame on its tail they weren't saying it was competitively good they were saying it has gotten so much love so ya it's surprising in unite that it hasn't gotten anything but even then I do miss playing him and being good he feels good but not good enough bc of power creep
I love how they didn’t tell us the patch notes before logging in to the game this time! sneaky guys
Fr I was so confused xd
What id like to see:
- mamo get a form of healing/recovery
- talonflame aerial ace heal a bit more
- decidueye shadow sneak makes you untargetable during duration
decidueye would be op then
Think Charizard would benefit a bit getting the duraladon treatment in the future.
Put more into powering it's ability damage and potentially lowering its auto attack focus
They could also just slight buff the melee build since it’s not doing that well and just increase a base stat slightly
I don’t think it’s as bad as everyone thinks it’s just understated in some areas they could also buff its early game
The pokemon could use some love. Everything keeps getting buffed and he just keeps getting put to the side.
Seriously his offset needs a buff. And defense buffs. He hasn't gotten anything meaningful for awhile. Kind of sad honestly.
And just as a joke, the patch is called scorching flames and only one fire type got buffed 😂
Also Charizard doesn't need a rework. He just needs love that he keeps ironically not getting from the devs. Again always buffing and nerfing other things but leaving him on the side. Way he plays isn't an issue like Dura.
The whole point of the pokemon is setup and autos.
Man just some QOL for the character...
I don't think he needs a rework, just a buff😅 The design philosophy seems to be "his unite is so strong and can flip almost any team fight, focus around that". But it neglects to factor in that other pokemon (slowbro, venu, garde, etc) ALSO have hugely impactful unites that can decide the ray fight, and they STILL get to be proper pokemon outside of their unite. Char does not ☠️ I agree with others, a general dmg increase + maybe a focus on his melee build would do wonders.
Char also gets silently buffed/nerfed with the changes to draft requirements. Draft is a huge buff for him, I actually dusted him off (early main) and put in some work last season when it was only 1200 elo req. He got nerfed this season (haven't had a draft match yet) bc he's super match-up dependent. When I see 2 or more squishies (decidueye, garde, glaceon, etc) it's a strong pick to be able to reliably take their primary dmg dealer off the map in big fights. But in the current meta, bringing him blind and running into slowbro, trev, and comfeyduo monsters like ttar, is a nightmare.
7:05 Dragon claw also got a shadow 1s cooldown buff on garchomp
Good to know!
Thank the lord for this Dura rework, I’ve been playing him for a bit now and loved his concept but always felt like there was something missing. This feels good now.
They need to do something with Greninja. He has not been touched in forever
Greninja is one of the most skill based Pokémon in the game. In the right hands, he’s an S-tier mon. If you don’t know how to play him, you’re cooked. I feel that’s why he’s been untouched. If they buff him, he instantly becomes OP in the right hands.
Agree, however I think they need to buff his health a little and possibly change his ultimate move. I would like to see the form battle bond take hold in a similar manner to x/y mewtwo. And in that form he gets a temp buff either reduced cool down on moves or a speed and attack buff
@@spidermander4008ok but thats most bad pokemon. every pokemon can win and be amazing if you are good enough but that doesnt mean the pokemon is secretly good and doesnt need buffed
Saying its s tier in good hands is cope lmao, skill cannot make a mon suddenly better@@spidermander4008
I said before T-Tar takes time to get going. The fact they nerfed him after providing it with a much needed retooling to make it viable is a bit disappointing. With the new nerf, I wished they lowered the level requirement for T-Tar so it doesn't feel like it is late to party to contribute in team fights.
The enemy team will actively hinder you from getting your stacks in, and will exp starve you from reaching level 9.
My take on it is because the battle pass is Blaziken (fire type) + Slowbro’s Holowear (water type) and they both got buffed 🔥🌊
I can see the nod to Ho-Oh 🤔
@@ace42O0 I think you’re on to something
Scorching Waves is probably a reference to it being summer rather than Ho-Oh and we might see future patches named after their respective season.
Hisuian Samurott and ho-oh or zygarde and ho-oh?
i am still waiting for more machamp buffs
dude im getting absolutely blasted out here
these patch notes do not help my main pokeman im so cooked
Nah we up brother gotta keep that submission grind up 🙏
Being a machamp main has been so safe these past few updates🙏
Falinks is definitely a winner here since it didnt get touched lolol. But in all seriousness even tho I play leafeon a lot, im glad for the nerf on its blade move. I dont play that so there's that, but also I always felt it did way too much damage, like its cool to oneshot things but christ theres a limit too..
ugh... they really need to rework dig now... dig is supposed to work a little like... Talon's Fly or Gyarados' unite.... Dig and fly in the games usually almost works the same, so if they can make a variation of it in unite like... make it act like fly but it can't cross walls, it move a bit slower, etc.
The fact timi is giving buffs to mon that don’t even need it just because they’re getting holowear makes sense but also it just so scummy lmao remember y’all they don’t care about fan base they just care about money 🫠
hasn't it been like that since blastoise was op? like back when the game was relatively new?
It just comes across as “ok let’s buff the battle pass/holowear mon and nerf the rest so people have to play them and maybe buy the skins” Like 💀 it’s just scummy
@@Nansy_probably, I wouldn’t be surprised. I personally haven’t paid attention to realize. But regardless, even if it’s happened before that doesn’t make it completely justified yk?
Anyways, to what I really want which is just coming from the Mon I personally play :
•Trev wood hammer lower AoE. Damage imo can stay but that AoE is crazy
•Charizard needs some sort of buff, i think it’s unite is fine but there’s something still off about them
•As a biased clef main, I just think it’s healing (and healing from all mon in general) need a buff, it’s just so so easy to counter in draft mode now with cursed items
•Also as a biased Deci main, good lord does it need mobility buffs but Dartrix specifically is just pitiful, needs a little something
•Azu can either be insane or just really meh, it’s insanely niche. I don’t know lol
•Nerf eeveelutions. I don’t care how, just anything lmao
•Delete EX (joking but also not)
Just don't buy the skins lol
I thought for sure they would give earthquake unstoppable, like dig damage didn't help much.
Hawlucha for president!
Why but real
I want to share my slowbro build with you spragles just not sure how to. Slowbro main defender here, and it already allows me to both defend and carry so i loved this buff. Will allow me to hold off physical attackers a little more. Its also a great build for just ripping objectives.
Eldegoss main here but I may have to try Mime after this patch!
Actually the buffs to Mimikyu are Shadow Claw, Shadow Sneak got the CD buff and Play Rough only got the increase in the movement speed reduction of the enemies. Mimikyu’s CD has always been 7.5 sec and it never changed at all. The CD buff is only on Shadow Sneak. Also Dragon Rush(now 5 sec, before 6 sec) and Dragon Claw(now 4 sec, before 5 sec) in Garchomp got buffed.
I don't understand why they don't make some of garchomps moves unstoppable since most mons in the game have a move that can stun it really makes garchomp enviable in high ranks most games
Falinks on his way to dodge every possible nerf it can
Happy to try new SlowBro and Veenie! Will be fun! Poor T Tar!
Y has had 7 nerfs and is still just insane. With all the attack speed nerfs from attackers his prowess just goes up. I see many people doing 80k+ myself included lol.
I would say at @7:30 give me a shield when using Dig and then Dig+ could be an increased size in the shield
Hey Jack
About another topic:
For emblems, I'm using one with 6 White 6 Brown 6 Blue 2 Purple.
It has worse stats than 6 White 6 Brown 2 Blue, but a lot more color effects.
How do you compare stats with color effects?
Thanks for the content
Its been a long time since I used slowbro, probably when I’m still active with duo/trio. I havent touched my mimikyu, sorry if I do test in rank :(
As someone who just spent last week mastering Slowbro I am definitely a winner
Umbreon should've had their Wish healing nerfed. I was really surprised seeing Umbreon dodge this patch
Ho-oh on the map yes!
Slowbro is dammn op
As mimikuy main I wish it doesn't receive a buff cause that usually will come with a worse nerf later.
The only thing mimikuy needs is a little bit of defense in my opinion
Here's a question, what things do you want people to mention on the questionnaire?
I've always haaated dealing with Mimikyu and now it gets buffs, I'm so cooked
Serious question usually my game updates and let’s me know all the new changes but it didn’t this time….I feel like I didn’t get the patch
agree im also delete the game and upload again but nothing happened… 😢 it’s really uncomfortable actually
I’m loving Dura so much! It’s actually so good at crowd control
Placebo damage buff on Mimikyu describes the Pokemon unite community the best.
Feint Zoroark escaped a balance patch agaian
Why are ppl so mad about zoroark? Maybe I'm stupid but zoroark is literally just like dodrio where everyone was saying it broken nerf it despite being a highly skill mon? Revert the changes from dodrio I feel like super skilled mons like that should be a Lil more powerful than anything else and yet they nerf skilled pokemon and buff brain dead ones? Winrate ruined dodrio but also cc ruins both mons real quick and mew got a no needed nerf which was one of my mains and things like mimikyu and slowbro got buffed? Who are braindead pokemon to play not as brain dead as mewtwo but the easy to play pokemon get so much love like lucario espeed got nerfed zeraora got nerfed (besides the wild charge build which can die in a f!NG fire along with play rough), mew nerfed, dodrio nerfed, etc. I get that this is a kids game mainly but there should be characters that lil Timmy can play like Pikachu and do good but not like broken bc there are also skilled players like our content creators, and tournament players.
@@m1dn1ghtqt well, it came down to a similar reason why leafeon needed nerfs too; early game damage is too much and you don't really have a way to counter it. Plus, prior to Ttar mega buffs a patch earlier, Zoroark are either banned or picked by Tournament players. Clefable gravity is no longer as prominent of a healer too which helps.
But hey, maybe some people DO want to be stomped early by a Zoroark Comfey duoQ in lane. Very fun indeed
(Rapid Strike Urshifu PTSD)
@aslamdarwish9405 Ah ok I hope they don't give him the lapras treatment that makes much more sense ty!
@@aslamdarwish9405 If comfey is part of the problem tho it's mainly comfey needing a nerf/rework bc anything with comfey and it good makes it broken
@@m1dn1ghtqtits not just comfey, zoroark has its moves on too low of a cooldown, which lets it escape easily and not get punished for bad plays
I’m very sure “Scorching Waves” just has to do with the focus revolving around Blaziken and the attention it’s getting with the BP. If it were for Ho-Oh, they would have shown a teaser or trailer ahead of time
lol scorching waves is in reference to Balziken and Bro getting buffs and the ones with the highest level of holowear.
My dream Chomp change is to have dig/quake a combo-able set like rush/claw. Maybe have the combo'd version be unstoppable? But my dude already hops in the air with dig, just slam back down bud!!
I wish night slash Zoroark gets the Duraludon treatment
Can't believe they keep doing my boi Charizard dirty like this🥲
Flash cannon being the best build is a huge W, flash cannon so much fun
I think Dragon Pulse goodra needs a rework
Scorching Waves is a nod to the current summer heat wave 🔥
I really think they need to rework Cinderace and Greninja. Their play styles are very subpar into a more stun heavy meta that’s been here forever, and they don’t have enough damage output to justify their simple moves set. The other auto attackers have moves and niches they can fill to supplement their play style better and do different things, but Cinder and Gren don’t have it to that good of an effect as the others.
im not sure the absol is that big a head scratcher. when you make duraladon such a pinhole for the meta, you need more counter picks, talonflame is already fine, gengar needs a bit more work, and meow is also fine. so you buff absols damage to make it deal with that major threat when the others are banned right?
im still not fully convinced with ho oh
15:45 and I'm praying the next one is Goodra. Awful wr% for months, and as much as I love the mon, it just doesn't do what a defender is supposed to...
The buff I want for Duraladon is Archaladon!
Those duraludon buffs are actually really exciting but greninja should've been touched a tiny bit as well. If they don't want dura to be the objective rip then they should nerf objective damage from other fast attackers like garchomp, deci, cinder, dragapult, NS meow, etc. Seems kinda unfair (not that I used it to rip objective but do the same for others y'know?).
I personally can't wait to try out Ho-Oh, even if it is EX, because DEFENDER IS LIFEEEE
I get it. It’s gonna be cool
Awesome dura changes 15:35
Honestly disappointed there was no buff to Edelgoss and Sylveon. 😢
I think the patches having a name is pretty cool, but I think the biggest winners are Blaziken and Mimikyu, they did not need those buffs
My theory is that Box Legendary release will be alternate 1st and then 2nd starting with Ho-oh
Gen2: Ho-oh
Gen3: Kyogre
Gen4: Dialga
Gen5: Zekrom
Gen6: Xerneas
Gen7: Lunala
Gen8: Zacian
Gen9: Miraidon
I can't tell if he's serious about sludge bomb petal dance...
You can jump onto five pokemon with a fifteen lv goodra and twelve lv enemies.
Mimikyu is now Broken+ 😂😂😂
i played two rank games with it, never dying
and in the second match i had 28 K.O.'s
and stole the enemy jungle multiple times
i was lvl 12 before 6 mins
bro i play evvees and when i played leafeon i felt like i was a kid on sugar
Well, damn, I just bought myself a Lifeon..
Would be cool if they released Skeledirge soon 🐊 🔥 👻
Why did they not buff my boy Charizard? He needs help, badly.
Money money money
@@siddharth4733greed
garchomp earthquake is such an uninteresting move
i kinda wish dig + dragon claw would be good
because i like the shove and the range from dragon claw and the dig knock off is cool
rip🥲
I would've liked some quality of life changes to machamp
Like almost every all rounder, if not all has a move set that has some heal and sustain... would be nice If he were abit more tanky in that sense
Because his moves don't do enough damage to justify him not having any sustain and the only moves that do enough damage rely on the crit luck and he takes too long to come online
I would love either more sustain or maybe make it so that his power spikes don't come so late and then those power spikes don't even matter coz there are far stronger late game pokemon with more damage and more sustain
Also the fact that falinks dodges nerfs is egregious 🫠
Mewtwo Y definitely because nothing can compete. Rapid fire damage stuns and it’s tanky. Like wtf why.
Tyranitar's ult lost 20% damage and that's "reasonable" lmao. This absolute unmitigated disaster of a video game has the people who pretend to like it held hostage it's crazy.
So, can anyone explain to me why sludge bomb+petal dance has always been considered a troll moveset?
You won't have the sustain giga drain offers along with petal dance in team fights
Might be able to thrown in an extra sludge bomb with petal dance (cd reduction on hits) but looks useless
It's troll because what are doing? Just dumping sludge everywhere and not doing damage? And what are you sustaining when you don't have giga drain for someone to dive? Literally no synergy.
Absol is insane right now
No one mentioning falinks?! This thing is still broken af. The fact that it didn't get nerfed to the ground puts this patch in the "mid" category imho.
My guess is that you can still effectively counter-pick against it in tournament. But since they don't want us to have draft in ranked anymore, it's just going to remain a PITA
When can greninja get these small buffs??
Still waiting for some Zera buffs 🥲
LETS GO GARCHOMP BUFFS🔥🔥
Charazard is the most reused and seen pokemom in the entire series but never had a meta in the game . Damn
They use him to milk viewers in the series, but bro, can't get the same love in the game
Idk charizard in the main games was pretty good in gen 3 and 5
Love the Dura changes and im happy with the patch overall just wished for some love for Lapras and some Falinks nerfs.
Bro I have forgotten lapras exists in this game
@@randomedgygamer2191 Yeah you don't see it often 😆
I just got a gayrados ad before watching this video x2
Why did they even buff Slowbro for? Like the CC in this game is already too much and with a holowear and a buff, it’s just going to make Slowbro picked more often
This is a hot take but they should make Duraludon a special attacker. If it is no longer meant to be as basic attack focused it would make more sense with its moves and stats to be a special attacker. Also they should let it evolve into Archaludon.
It's still pretty much an auto-attacker though. They took a bit of power away from its normal autos, sure, but it still relies on auto-attacks for both movesets. It needs autos to build stacks for Dragon Pulse and the attacks during Flash Cannon are still auto attacks, just unique ones.
Granted, I don't see why an auto-attacker couldn't be special-based. We have Mewtwo Y as it is, though that seems to not really get grouped in with the auto-attackers all the time. But I'd be all for more uniqueness between roles. The big issue for Duraladon specifically would be losing all the crit-based items, but hey, maybe they could add a new item. We could certainly use more items. Though a crit-based special item would kind of be a nightmare for the aforementioned Mewtwo.
As for Archaludon... It would have been nice to see, but I think this patch probably confirms they have no plans to do it. If they did, they probably wouldn't have done this type of rework.
@@ElecManEXEyeah I was just thinking that duraludons main attacking moves are both special in the mainline games (flash cannon and dragon pulse) and it special stat is higher that its physical too.
They could always update it too, it took them over a year to add the first gen 9 pokemon and the indigo disc was only 6 months ago. I am just copeing a lot because it would be really cool and future proof for any evolutions of other pokemon they add.
@@big_axolotl_ Archaludon would have to be an entirely new license purely because of the cosmetics. Can't have people using green tier on a pre-evo.
I'm really surpised they didn't buff Cerulage. It's so tragically confused mon, like is it an all-rounder getting KOed in a single shot, is it really a speedster? Phantom force invincibility is good alright, but on a squishy mon like this what's the point, you just survived one attack just to be taken out by other, healing on 1 move is available, but charges slow (again too squishy to charge attack), the unite move is the only thing that this mon has. It should work like meow, give him shields, give him more heal, give him something of a clear role. I was looking at API and no surprise all movesets have 45-44-46% win rates.. 😂😂
Honestly they should bring in a lycanroc or koraidon
I wish I could roll and if I get an even number I get extra buffs to my pick or if I get odd I get even more buffs 😂 I'm jk but for real though if I'd get odd number I get a debuff and higher the number the better or worse the effects are! If you get 5 bad rolls in a row then ur 6th is guaranteed a low even roll lol
I really still think trick hoopa is still really good vs Pokémon that don’t do pure damage
Slowbro OP
Please tell which non ex pokemon should i buy i have zoroark and all free ones like slowbro
Depends on play style
Defender:- Trevenant or blastoise
Attacker:- Glaceon or delphox
Support:- Clefable or eldegoss
All rounder:- Tyranitar or gyrados
Speedster:- Meowscarda or Leafeon(literally all else are good too in this category)
These are just what I think you should buy first, ofcourse you can buy of your choice for fun
Is tyranitar still s tier because ancient power and dark pulse didn't got nerfed please tell I'm confused between mimikyu and tyranatar(I don't like moveset of gyaradose)
Your choice what you like more and good with. I am literally better with charizard than dragonite. Pokemon doesn't matter 'much'.
To try different movesets and pokemon,you can go offline mode.(I don't know if you know that)
sprag
Zoroark goes another patch un-nerfed huge winner imo
Falinks and umbreon definitely won. sylveon, gyarados, zoroark, cramorant, and metagross to a lesser extent. They are dominating and a nerf would allow other pokemon to shine
So they buffed mimikyu to sell a skin
How can I carry low mmr player😢
Im not playing until tgey nerf mimikyu why do they do this, so they not play the game
No one talking about mimikyu its RIDICULOUS, YOU CANT HIT HIM HE STAYS IN FOUL PLAY ESPECIALLY WITH COOLDOWN BUILD
Leafeon is awful now. He was already too squishy and now can't kill
Maybe scorching waves is just their way of saying damn these global warming heatwaves in India, usa and uk are worse lol
Yee
Just bought trevenant ffs
