Here's a dumb strategy we came up with with a friend. First piece is a Dedenne with Plus as an ability, salac berry as its item, and fling, entrainment, and 2 other moves. Second piece is a psychic or ghost type that is slower than Dedenne (I tried it with M-Indeedee once, was fun. Arma might be good for this too). Item is weakness policy. Moveset is stored power and 3 moves of your choice. The idea is that you fling the salac berry, *activate the weakness policy*, and then entrainment the plus, giving it a 1.5 spa boost. I'd like to see you use (and improve) this strat

A fun strategy I've been trying to work is talonflame and bax, using ember for therm boost and tailwind for speed control, plus weakness policy wind rider brambleghast for some extra fun
There's curse Garganacl with salt cure, ghost tera Or curse Orthworm with wrap, ghost tera Also, I saw someone use Ember on their partner Baxcalibur to proc Thermal Exchange. Pretty funny. And yes, Baxcalibur cannot be burnt.

The Solar Blade was probably predictable once they put the chain together. "They just gave it Sharpness. They Tera-Grassed. They set up the sun. Has to have Solar Blade."
QOTD: When access to Bank comes to Scarlet & Violet, I hope that one of the strategies you consider trying out for a video is changing Ursaluna's ability into Iron Fist while having it hold the Punching Glove. For some reason, Headlong Rush is a move that gets powered up by Iron Fist. Additionally, if I recall, Ursaluna has access to Drain Punch, Close Combat, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, and Thunder Punch. I forget if the Ursaluna line has access to Bulk Up, too, but I'm more certain that they can get Belly Drum.
I know you’ve already used this strat but I still think the absolute funniest strat was magic bounce parting shot having that absolutely bizarre interaction where it swaps out the magic bounce user and lowers the parting shot users stats for proccing defiant. That last battle is hysterically funny and you know that they had a flamigo in the back with costar to get the boosts from Coalossal 😂
That rage quit at the end is the only rage quit I’ve seen that I understand. Usually rage quitting is petty and dumb, but I can’t blame the guy at all for leaving when he accidentally walked into the hardest possible counter to a team he probably put a lot of work into.
I would like to see some strats for either attacking through Protect, or just punishing for Protect with Encore. Protect is soooooooo overused in competitive Pokemon, I think you could crush some hopes and dreams by making Protect a weakness rather than a defense.
I'm pretty sure that when the tauros protected in the first battle, they were expecting a Tera blast. It seems pretty clear you're built around ceruledge, so I imagine it's reasonable for them to assume you will usually terrastalize and run Tera blast
Also for the question, would you ever consider playing older gens on showdown? I’m not really keeping up with this generation personally not sure if anyone else feels the same way
I may not play pokemon anymore, but one of my favorite 'strats' was burn orb guts façade ursaring. Thing hit so god damned hard! Now that ursaluna is a thing, with 140 attack and 130 hp... well, whatever wall smashing power ursaring had has now been upgraded to big bundles of dynamite. A good build for when you just don't want to do complicated strats, when you just wanna ooga booga all over an opponent that day.
QotD: A fun fact about Terastalization- when you tera, all moves under 60 bp that share the same as the terastalized mon become 60 bp!! This buff is only applied to non-priority, non-multihit moves, and only *after* all other base power boosts from abilities have been applied, so abilities like Technician do not stack with it. I’d like to see a strategy that abuses this mechanic, using a move like Tera Poison Acid Spray to melt walls, Tera Ghost Astonish as a Ghost-type Headbutt on a Serene Grace mon, or Tera Electric Nuzzle actually getting knockouts! The actual damage might be low, but the mental damage of the opponent’s mon being knocked out by these weak moves would be irreparable.
The grass Tera hat on Ceruledge just makes me think of giving her a flower crown to wear. She'd be thrilled with it! Only for it to.. accidentally catch fire. Poor thing, gotta find some fireproof accessories for your fire 'mons.
I know someone in the comments mentioned Sharpness Population Bomb Maushold but I have an idea, how about a Copycat team that copies Population Bomb? Some Pokemon that would work are Hisuian Samurott since it gets Copycat (and so do the rest of the team members) and Sharpness, Flamigo since it gets Scrappy to hit Ghost types, and Meowscarda since it has Protean. That's the entire team I thought up so far, idk about the last two team members
It still would be cool to see a self proc thermal exchange with weakness policy for Baxcalibur. I used the method with tera steel and have ceruledge be choiced with minus spatk lava plume to have everything trigger first but knowing you I feel ya can make it so much better
I want to see a Cud Chew Farigiraf or Paladean Tauros with Polteageist Tea Time support. Mainly for more iconic Tea jokes and edits
Yassssssss
I agree; this would be a great combo to see.
That would be incredibly funny
Weedle we better see this tea spillt
Are there any Harvest mons in the current line ups? Harvest tea time and cud chew could be an extra bit of spice in this tea
weedle is my salt cure
Mekkah, finding you here is like seeing your elementary school teacher at a grocery store
That last battle was an absolute riot, it makes you feel for the poor player just trying to abuse old strats 😅
Coalossal: exists
Weedle: "And I took that personally"
Weedle! Weedle! You should have tried Sharpness Maushold! Population Bomb actually gets boosted! This strategy would be sooo cool to see!
That's just a worse technican though since moves like bite don't get the sharpness boost, but still would be fun to see.
Why does population bomb get better with sharpness????
@@wolfofsummerbreeze something to do with the Japanese translation
@@wolfofsummerbreeze the japanese name of the move is a pun on how "nezumizan" can be read as both "mouse multiply" and "mouse cut"
Technician is the same damage increase as technician no?
"it's never okay to misgender people even if you hate them" THANK YOU WEEDLE

That will only work if Dedenne doesn't get killed before it uses Entrainment
@@0videoboy0 I said it was a dumb strategy, not a good strategy
@@0videoboy0 it has a good defensive typing going for it at least.
Weedle's "plus and minus" meme team video is pretty close to what you're asking for
That final battle with Mirror Herb was just (chef kiss), JUSTICE was served!
I can hear you say "activate our weakness policy" for hours
Ceruledge is our favourite mega man.
the 69megaman ever

ok snatch that bag
Get the coin sis
Pog! i can finally leave this channel!
🤑🤑
A grass, sharpness, sun ceruledge? The solar blade read isn't impossible. Love the content!
i'd really like to see some florges shenanigans, she's been one of my favorite mons since she was introduced
Maybe symbiosis shenanigans 🤔
mother
Fun fact: If Florges teras to Grass, its ability affects it
Ok but if that stupid deer gets added back all I'm gonna say is Mirror Herb Opportunist Espathra is gonna snatch it's wig
The Solar Blade was probably predictable once they put the chain together. "They just gave it Sharpness. They Tera-Grassed. They set up the sun. Has to have Solar Blade."
Protects multiple times just to delay the game, ragequits when they lose. Ah, I love online players.
Omg! You weren't lying! That last battle was the best 🙇🏻 My jaw hit the floor when Gallade got the mirror herb boost 😭😭😭
Yesssss their baaaaaack, this Weedle vid is what I needed today. Been feeling depressed and you always help me
im feeling the same way, i hope you feel a bit better soon

" it's never okay to misgender people, even if you hate them". I come to this channel for the life advice honestly
Been giving sharpness to Leafeon, I'm glad to see more of this strat !
oo i love leafeon can you tell me about this strat
More this strat my friend
X scissor, leaf blade?
My guess on the double protect tauros is that they could’ve waiting out the sunlight so they could try to knockout torkol in one wave crash
would love to see lumineon babe x
That part
Yesss
Aye Weedle, glad to see you getting the big sponsors! No suggestions from me, just keep doing what you're doing! Much love

Doing protect when you're going to lose anyway sound like:
"Ok, I lose, but at least, I'm gonna piss you"
20:43-Yo, your opponent hitting that 360 No-Hope.
“Mau-SHold” is worse than Wolfeys “Arca-NEENAY”
I play Mirror Herb on Gallade simply because I didn't have a better item choice. I am impressed that you actually made it work.
I've been running scope lens but this is genius
Happy to see the video is 20+ minutes long, I missed those
3:58 why does the poke ball come from the side of the screen here lmao I swear SV wifi battles never look right
Really enjoy you showing off the pokeballs and how they match the mons. Cherry on top of a great video
Qotd: eviolite Misdreavus. I love Misdreavus.
Man, two ragequits in one video, we're feasting thanks to you queen. Keep up the great content! 👍
ive been starving weedle thank you thank you thank you now my family can eat for another week
One more thing Weedle. No matter how many different Poketubers I see, none try your cheese. I really did miss it lol.
Always glad to see you back whenever you drop a new video! Take your time making this content amazing. Keep slaying ❤
Yo what even is that camera angle 12:05. Great video as always. Also yes please make a baxcalibur team. That thing is druddigons blue cousin.
"It's bad to misgender people even if you hate them", i cant breathe haha
it isnt the most honest but ive heard fissure was good this meta, so intruct + fissure ting lu might be fun
Weedle Plz use one of the Doge pokemon haha it would be so epic XD
Which doge though?
id love to see you try prankster after you with crabomidable again!!
How about a baxcalibur team with a lava plume mon and well-baked body dachsbun
Paldean Gallade with its signature ability
How do you do the figure skating spin in 0:33?! I never knew that was possible
Miror B fight theme while it was raining❤ Love the work Twinslaydle, keep it up!
You should totally make a Soak-Salt Cure team 💅 (I have literally no idea what pokemon will work for this lmao)
check out my eiscue showdown video where I do exactly that! ua-cam.com/video/_MMMy44YkGA/v-deo.html&t=
@@WeedleTwineedle wait omg lol, how did I forget, am gonna watch again tho 😳 get that bag
been running this set since the start of SV vgc, its so much fun
I also add leafeon on the team too for solar blade + sharpness

That rage quit at the end is the only rage quit I’ve seen that I understand. Usually rage quitting is petty and dumb, but I can’t blame the guy at all for leaving when he accidentally walked into the hardest possible counter to a team he probably put a lot of work into.
Smoothest sponsor transition of all time.
I would like to see some strats for either attacking through Protect, or just punishing for Protect with Encore. Protect is soooooooo overused in competitive Pokemon, I think you could crush some hopes and dreams by making Protect a weakness rather than a defense.
I use norm terra feint tech breloom, or scizor either one works wonders.
I'm pretty sure that when the tauros protected in the first battle, they were expecting a Tera blast. It seems pretty clear you're built around ceruledge, so I imagine it's reasonable for them to assume you will usually terrastalize and run Tera blast
true I just wanted to solar blade something they should have just let me sweep them...
@@WeedleTwineedle for real though haha, love the fun videos, and hope you keep getting that inspiration
How long does it take to find/build a gimmick team?
Does water shuriken + water compaction grass tera pallosand work? Would it even be worth it lol
Please continue doing these!! Best poke tuner for sure!!
I know we all love "service service" james, but we should make that jumpluff a mascot.
It’s crazy how Iron Valiant learns skill swap but it always fails lmao, attract mew over here
Weedle please make Geeta's team viable. That would be my dream ❤😂
Weedle, I’m gonna be honest I don’t watch your content as much as I used to but I always love these commentated team showcases. Keep on breathing!
Also for the question, would you ever consider playing older gens on showdown? I’m not really keeping up with this generation personally not sure if anyone else feels the same way
I bet you could big brain some doodle shenanigans, even though it probably relies on matchup fishing.
Love the content btw, queen
Gotta love the Mirror Herb tech! The Raid ad was smooth too, great vid
I want to see a Tera Ghost Orthworm that uses Curse while its partner uses Earthquake or something.
Skill-Swap Tinkaton would be a funny strat. Huge Power Gigaton Hammer goes hard.
Skill swap huge power isn’t a thing
@@danielsimon4542 Isn't it just nerfed from 200% to 150% when skill swapped?
Love the video!
Also. Lava Plume Chi-Yu with Tera Ground EQ Baxcalibur video idea?
👀
I laughed at that Raid segue, good stuff Weedle. Get that sponsorship bag. I always love a new video and especially voiced content.
Espatra u-turning into a weakness policy/weak armor armoruge and then bringing in indedee with terrain
Seeing a Garganacl go down with one shot is so, so satisfying.
I may not play pokemon anymore, but one of my favorite 'strats' was burn orb guts façade ursaring. Thing hit so god damned hard!

Try Lumineon soak strategy, I did one but I wanna see how a mastermind like yours will do it!!!
When will these be in a playlist ?
Weedle bringing the content we love ❤
Yaaaas, Queen Weedle. Surely you can do something with Ditto!
Aqua step ori team would be good with hisuian liligant's victory dance/ entrainment, something I was most excited for when HOME finally dropped

I was wrong, forgot Gallade got the move 😂
I found out pressure Corviknight with Spit is a good way to Decay Stall Mons
NARRATED BATTLE CONTENT
Weedle! I miss your videos so much, this one is just SO FUN.
I love all your vids, one of the most funny poketubers. Best of wishes
Had to give a like on that really smooth raids transition.
I bet that Dragapult was feeling all sorts of fucked up after that Surf.
Zebstrika is coming to Scarlet and Violet. Does that mean Ion Deluge meme gonna make a comeback?
Unlikely, as the move got snapped last gen.
The grass Tera hat on Ceruledge just makes me think of giving her a flower crown to wear. She'd be thrilled with it! Only for it to.. accidentally catch fire. Poor thing, gotta find some fireproof accessories for your fire 'mons.
weedle i'd love to see you use a swagger unburdern mirror herb strat on grafaiai or hawlucha
there isn't enough salt cure that could cure that taurus player's salt haha
15:20 does this song still trigger memories of top 10s on youtube for anyone else? no? too specific?
I think it was joshscorcher
Is there an Instruct-Gigaton Hammer combo possible?
If that Gallade carried stored power...
SHES BACK I MISSED YOU SO MUCH SHANIQUA
also pls use Costar Flamigo alongside some kind of setup sweeper in doubles, it would be dope AF
had a lot of fun with tera water curse/strength sap brambleghast, ghost curse then tera for regular curse n healing
Weedle! Do the Thermal Exchange Baxcalibur w/ Lava Plume team! I tried a while ago and it didn't go so well but i bet you can do it!

Population Bomb Copycat Sylveon because of Pixilate affecting Population Bomb (if it still gets Copycat?)
I'd really like to see what you could do with Grafaiai using Prankster and Doodle
Shiny Jumpluff firing off color-coordinated pollen puffs cured my seasonal allergies
