Can't come with the word to express how good it feels to have new content of yours every single day here. It feels so good the take a break from work to watch some gameplays
The psychological strength to go all the way to masters from the very beginning using only low tier Pokémon and itens is insane, but love this idea for a series! Also, I work with children in school and it’s so accurate when you said that they usually go to an adult and just start talking about random stuff 😅 I love it though, they’re so genuine
30:50 This is what the bot ai does, when they take damage below 25% hp, they drop everything and go for heal. They prioritize berries from their lane, but if there’s none left, they do the long walk, all the way back to spawn. They don’t recall, they don’t even use the speed flux zone, they slip through jungle at the second goal point instead.
Yeah, they really need to fix the AI especially if they're going to be constantly throwing us in bot matches. Idk if this is normal but my bots also don't attack zap at all even after all enemies are dead. It's really odd.
they do recall, i seen them recall using talonflame because they only recall when when you or your team isnt around, but if you or any members of your team is present, they run a marathon edit: one problem i have with bots is that they dont save up their unite move, the moment they see a opponent(s) they use their unite
Using the absolute lowest tier Pokémon is a strong enough penalty that it will absolutely still be entertaining to see you running off-meta items that aren’t necessarily the worst possible items. It works as a great series for people to see how to work with their favourite Pokémon who don’t get as much example gameplay.
Jake, some Decidueye advice as Rowlett: only attack wild Pokémon at the edge of your range. You do much lower damage the closer you are to your target.
Love the content. Continue what you're doing. A playthrough like this is entertaining as hell. Btw deleted the game a while back, but still watching you play is what I look for everyday P.s didn't mean to rhyme there
Looking forward to this series! I just started playing when they introduced Hoopa. Breezed through the initial ranks with Lucario and am currently at Expert 2. I've tuned in to your vids for builds and stuff, too. So this is super helpful!
Love the wholesome stories you include like your time with your daughter at the park. Good luck with this series, because oh lord you're going to need it
I started dying at 26:29 when the lvl 8 Charmeleon initiated the fight by fire punching a lvl 14 Garchomp, one of the worst Pokemon to fight at close range 🤣
for held items, dont shot yourself on the foot too much having no access to the usual items like muscle, score, focus, buddy, scope, and razor is already a huuuge disadvantage to most of the pokemon youre running so i think shell bell, weakness, and energy amp should be allowed since they are very rarely used and are niche items
Aah this brings back memories of when I first discovered your channel. I thought you were a little kooky but loved your calm, reserved and funny commentary. Didn't know I would become a regular watcher. You and the game have come a long way, here's hoping there's much more to come going forward.
You can determine if you are in a bot match like this: 1. Your allies don't choose their Pokemon until about 49 seconds. They wait for you to select a Pokemon of your choice, but if you don't in the first 10 seconds, they will. And their Pokemon selection is immediately confirmed. 2. On the match loading screen, all the bots will have simple portraits with the yellow background. 3. At the beginning of the match, your ally Pokemon will often refrain from getting the last hit on farm Pokemon so that you can level up first. 4. The enemy bots will stop attacking you immediately if you go into a bush or back onto your goal, even if you are at 1 HP. Same for ally bots. 5. If bots are at low HP, they will walk all the way back to base to restore HP and won't bother attacking or defending themselves in the process. 6. Sometimes the bots behave weirdly, like not scoring even if they got Zapdos. 7. When the match ends, if you try to see the profiles of bots, they will ALL be set to private. And finally, if you are getting a lot of KOs and the match is just too easy, it is likely that it is a bot match.
This is such a great concept. And the stories and songs make it that much better! And completely agree on the interest in dreams! Been following you from the beginning, Cowboy, and it's been inspirational to watch you grow. Keep it up and keep making us proud!
Glad to see a new r2m. Keep forgetting how rough low rank matches can be. Also great that you keep explaining strategy for potential new players. Your content was very helpfull when I started playing (and continues to be)
Appreciate the effort and your positive vibe. You have dad-level patience with beginners and a great attitude. Wanted to suggest you use quick chat and pings with players like calling them to objectives. Good way to get help and educate-worked for me when I was first picking the game up.
That bot game was hilarious. And I was here for the first two official snap backs in the series! That last game, when you said “we only need to protect Zap” my first thought was ‘you realize you are talking to great rank 2, right?’ XD
It's so refreshing to see stuff like wearing something simple and having items at Lv10. I was enjoying the fashion and energy rewards back when I started.
This was so fun to watch. As for your questions I think shell bell, energy amp, wise glasses are all fair game. As far as Pokemon.. I think Tsereena could be considered to be in a low enough tier, also either Blissey or Mime for most poorly rated support? Regardless of what you decide, I will enjoy these videos though!
@@magk2524 I do think they're both okay. But neither is a meta pick rn. He wanted to include a support in his roster that was a least favorite for this road to master series. Imo, the two least favorite supports right now are Blissey and Mime. I wasn't sayings you shouldn't pick them or that they're not useful
So stoked for this new series! Also why don’t they autopick lanes for everyone? People who call lanes can just change their choice and for the rest, well, it at least somewhat commits them to a lane
Ideas for items on some pokemon - Trevenant: try rocky helmet, assault vest and weakness with Xspeed - gengar: leftovers, float stone and energy amplifier with goal getter (out of combat build XD) - Cramorant: wise glass, special attack specs and energy amplifier with xattack (all about the unite move) - decidueye: energy amplifier, attack weight and float stone with xattack (long range poke) - crustle: rocky helmet, assault vest and aoes cookies with goal getter (just overall as tank as old items) Good luck on your climb!
Dreams are pretty interesting but normally they don't make sense. It is interesting how it can affect your day rather dramatically, nightmares usually seem to happen to try to force the body to wake up when you're overheating too.
Love the premise of this series. Ran Blissey to Ultra 4, but I hit a wall. Tried going Cinderace whenever we had no cinderace, but doesn't seem to be working. Eldegoss doesnt seem to be working. I tried hoopa thinking his teleporting could help cordinate my team, but no one seems to know what the portals do, or just ignore them. I'm back to Blissey, I feel my persistence will pay off.
You mentioned Tsareena as the weakest All-rounder right now, but I honestly think people are sleeping on her. I frequently win 1v2s with her in masters, and she just represents really insane damage, sustain and map pressure. The nerfs didn't hurt her as bad as everyone seems to think. Trop Kick/Triple Axel literally never stopped being good.
I'd say at level 10, use your three 7-day passes to make items level 30. I'd vote for float stone, rocky helmet and assault vest. The float stone and x-speed combo to travel between objectives is great.
I'm a little newer to the game so I'm working on learning the different mechanics and such. I noticed you mentioned a few times about not over-dunking with a certain number of points, was curious on what the difference was with scoring a certain amount? thanks!
I'm getting SO SICK of getting bad teammates. I play in standard usually (don't care for the stress of playing for points), but I always seem to get 1-2 afk players, and most of the others ignore main objectives. Why is match making SO BAD?!?!??!?!??!?!??!?+?
Adding Tsareena, Sylveon and Ninetales would be the next tier of Pokemon but I think that wouldn't be "balanced" since they are actually good if you know how to play them. Weakness Policy is also pretty good but you should most def add Shell Bell, Aos Cookie and Exp share to the pool of items for sure.
Respect to jake for even using garbage items and dealing with bad teammates as well
I wish I could unsee your profile pic, but I agree
@@mr.sheeppeehs4204 lmao

Let's watch Spragel and chill
starting off the first game with Jake cheering on his Rowlet like hes the lil owls supportive dad.. you love to see it
Yes spragels is so cute right!

The way all the bad pokemon are now v useful competitively
Dude, your content makes me so happy,
You rádiate good energy. Reminds me to not take this game too seriously, and enjoy the ride.
I played a jungling Eldegoss one time...with a Char, Dragonite, Blastoise, and Cinder team. Yep.
Eldegoss jungle is meta in low ranks, the amount of healing and constant damage makes you nearly unkillable unless they 3v1 you.
@@asobimasho3588 oh wow I didn't know that. Tbf I got a pretty good ganks with eldie lol and I'm in Ultra..

Considering you’re not using score shield I think it’s fair to run the stacking items you just gotta work for them stacks
Glad to see a new r2m. Keep forgetting how rough low rank matches can be.
Also great that you keep explaining strategy for potential new players.
Your content was very helpfull when I started playing (and continues to be)
51:24 not only was Greninja not at zapdos fight but that they literally used their unite move on an enemy aipom 😂
i was gonna comment this, he clutched the win tho, for a starter that was good lol
Appreciate the effort and your positive vibe. You have dad-level patience with beginners and a great attitude.
Wanted to suggest you use quick chat and pings with players like calling them to objectives. Good way to get help and educate-worked for me when I was first picking the game up.
Jake embracing the weirdness is very relatable. When you put yourself in these strange situations, you have to dive headlong in.
This is a great challenge! I can't believe how you can make creative contents like this.
35:38 JUST BREAKS ME. the way you verbally debby ryan'd when you said "staawp!!.. 🤪🤪" MAKES ME CHUCKLE
That bot game was hilarious. And I was here for the first two official snap backs in the series! That last game, when you said “we only need to protect Zap” my first thought was ‘you realize you are talking to great rank 2, right?’ XD
Man really like devidueye a lot. Really hope that with some buffs and changes he becomes meta relevant.
they should make it bulkier, let razor leaf grant a shield, and give a regen boost while using shadow sneak.
Hey Jake! Your latest Charizard video helped me step up my game and push to Master! Keep up the awesome work!
Love that!
Good luck Jake 🤠
This content is why Jake is THE content cowboy. Yeehaw all the way babyyyy!
It's so refreshing to see stuff like wearing something simple and having items at Lv10. I was enjoying the fashion and energy rewards back when I started.
Great to see you back at it again, looking forward to more Decidueye games hah

watching these matches gives me ptsd from the early rank days
I was here for the first and second snapback of the series. Loving the content as always, Jake. Keep up the good work!
Good to see an old school gengar in the middle once again
It's crazy how Crustle is apparently low-tier, I love playing as him, he's so powerful and fun~ ❤️
I miss the joy (and sorrow) of low rank plays lol. Thanks for this! Great content as always 🤗
I’m beyond happy this is back
Massive respect to Spragels, never fails to upload amazing content every single day. Thank you 😎
Yess

Wohoo we got new series coming from jake! How i miss this kind of series since nuzlocke from 1st season, keep it up man!
Omg it’s finally here,road to masters!
Dreams are pretty interesting but normally they don't make sense. It is interesting how it can affect your day rather dramatically, nightmares usually seem to happen to try to force the body to wake up when you're overheating too.
I just realized u reached 100K!! Congrats!! 🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊
Road to master with Jake being the guy people hate to see...love it
The real challenge isn't getting to master, it's staying sane. May your mental fortitude be an inspiration to all Unite players
i too love singing songs from late 90s early 2000s movies
I was here for the first and second official snap backs. Extremely entertaining content as always, yeehaw!
ggs, really enjoyed . gotta have snapback counter now
10:29 "I got killlllls! Theyre multiplyin.
But my moooooovements too sloooow." ;_;
yeahhhhhh new road to masters!!
Love the premise of this series. Ran Blissey to Ultra 4, but I hit a wall. Tried going Cinderace whenever we had no cinderace, but doesn't seem to be working. Eldegoss doesnt seem to be working. I tried hoopa thinking his teleporting could help cordinate my team, but no one seems to know what the portals do, or just ignore them. I'm back to Blissey, I feel my persistence will pay off.
Spragels nice video you inspired and congratulations on the 100k can’t wait for the future and you will blow up Yeehaww
I dont know how you keep your cool, that level 8 charmeleon at zap spawn would make me absolutley furious
Decidueye mains looking this while drinking a cup of tea
Spinning wheel looks cool lol
words cannot describe how happy I am to have a long series like this back. Yeehaw to you and yours
The promo you made for this was the best sports film in a decade, better than the mighty ducks 3 (but not 2).
Dk why i laughed so hard at this time 26:12 when he brought up char lmao
Good luck on the climb!
😄 that talon flame hiding was great
rocky helm decidueye has come to politely ask you to not 2 shot him
yes was waiting for another one of these
Woo! This is very entertaining!
It really is amazing how much chaos goes on in lower ranks. Quite annoying 🤬
You could use energy amplifier on a pokemon whose unite move recharges really slowly, not gonna be very useful
The series we all been waiting for
hell yeah another road to master! I love these longer videos to play along.
I can't wait for the next one
the first snap back was legit scary almost lmao. came out of nowhere
Just reached masters today!
Was here for the first official snapback of the Road to Massssterz.
Nice vid! Curious if you’ve given any thought to an all supporter road to masters. I feel like that could give you a serious challenge
I swear all the intensity that happens he'l lose his beard and mustache after this
13:13 in her dream, she had one brother, but in her dreams... she had 2 brothers. Makes sense
FINALLY THIS IS BACK
that ending is most of my games but than i lose
I love this challenge! Please keep it going, it is very cool!
i was here for the first official snap back in the road to masters.
Finally we'll get to see some trevanant gameplay
I only saw a few when it just came out
Didn't see any of the streamers I watch use after 2 days of it
You mentioned Tsareena as the weakest All-rounder right now, but I honestly think people are sleeping on her. I frequently win 1v2s with her in masters, and she just represents really insane damage, sustain and map pressure. The nerfs didn't hurt her as bad as everyone seems to think.

About time! Yeeeeehaw!!
Loved this kind of content Jake.
Losing the zapdos hurts so much more 🤣
The challenge for mental stability too
Love this series!
I'd say at level 10, use your three 7-day passes to make items level 30. I'd vote for float stone, rocky helmet and assault vest. The float stone and x-speed combo to travel between objectives is great.
Yee Haw!
YOOO this was my idea i remember saying this in the discord!
Finally, the episode came out
I was in fact here for the 1st and 2nd snapback in Road to Master Season 3.
I’d say add shell bell and aeos cookie, but not weakness policy or energy amp
the end of that gengar game… WOW what a finish 😂😂
I'm a little newer to the game so I'm working on learning the different mechanics and such. I noticed you mentioned a few times about not over-dunking with a certain number of points, was curious on what the difference was with scoring a certain amount? thanks!

A Charmeleon during Zap lol I seen it all, that had to be a little kid

Weakness Policy is also pretty good but you should most def add Shell Bell, Aos Cookie and Exp share to the pool of items for sure.
Day 1 was super crazy fun 😁🥰
Loophole! Since some "people" have such a hatred for Score Shield and swear its useless. Might as well throw it in the rotation 😂
