@@GravityIsFallingcontrary damage scaling and different coverage. it also keeps the ground immunity so it's a better partner for quake spam. definitely not stronger than flutter but the niche is there.
@@GravityIsFalling Because Stellar Tera Blast normally decreases your offenses, but with Contrary it'll boost them. You also naturally resist Grassy Glide/Sucker Punch and your opponent isn't gonna know if you're physical or special until you use a move, which even then isn't exactly easy to tell if you're using Tera Blast. Oh and you can also use Tailwind yourself if you wanted too.
I thought Archaludon was really weird when it was first revealed, but now that I've seen it in action? Easily one of the greatest designs of the gen. And that is before going into how it performs in battle.
I was wondering if it was a jojo’s reference and you should Diamond is Unbreakable is super good and something needs to pass the time until we get the official translation of Steel Ball Run
I’m loving it! Justice for Duraludon!! He should have always had an Evolution and many folks expected one back then. A great candidate for Stellar Tera. High coverage move pool ❤❤❤ such a great design too!!!
Stellar would probably work good with mons like Porygon-Z. Normal types like that get loads of coverage and really appreciate the boost to all of them.
I love the build diversity it has with Stamina tanking or just being a Gun that can ignore Amongoos/Whimsicott, nice to see it so popular, but also I have used Sunny Day too many times in response to the Electro Shot charge turn and its just pure comedy
people SERIOUSLY underestimate Archaludon's bulk. Not only are it's bulk stats aside from special defence (bring an assault vest) good (like a certain mythical pokemon), it's typing is actually EVEN BETTER then Heatran. Same resistances, but Heatran has two weaknesses and one 4x weaknesses. Archaludon has two weaknesses, both of which are commonly physical (it's best defence stat). I can see Archaludon being used on every single rain team, and perhaps even just as a wall (it has sturdy to make Ground and Fighting even more worthless). Using a tera type that isn't stellar is literally neutering it's really good defensive typing, like if you tried to terastalize heatran. Sure, you might be able to get one turn free of charge by changing type, but when you have only TWO weaknesses and a TON of defenses, losing that type matchup can be awful.
Now that you mentioned the Stellar Tera Type acts as one time gems from Gen 5, that makes Stellar interesting. Tho, I'm still disappointed by the overall mechanic.
Oh, that last match was really good for showing off the stellar type. Even after watching the Stellar breakdown video, I feel like I only fully understood now! Nice videos as always =]
I love archaludon. I use like rain teams, mostly just cause I end up really liking a lot of water and electric types. Gen 9 made rain by far the inferior weather to sun, thanks to protosynthesis. So, archaludon was made to be the ultimate rain team win condition, and I'm stoked
Personally think Stellar tera should have the same effect as Tera Shell, where you resist the first attack you take after you tera. It’d be thematic and would also not be overpowered, just a slight defensive bonus
I love archaludon. It's a fuckin bridge, but only two Metres. I have a team on showdown based around archaludon. With after you ribombee, dragon cheer dargapult, and a sis ist ha for good measure
I know you're set that this is a mid tera type, but I really think fast pokemon who have struggled with their coverage because of the risk of getting revenge killed will really enjoy this tera type. Can't look up any movepools on the work PC lol, but maybe Dragapult and Iron bundle have some quickdraw moves that this could benefit? Life orb Iron bundle protosynthesis EV'd to boost SPATK? Idk, still would be fun to play around with.
I didnt hear in this video but if you werent running stellar what would be a good tera for arcg? Electric maybe or Steel/Dragon for the extra stab and resiztances?
iron boulder is a p cool glass cannon but i don't rly see any merit in crown? meanwhile raging bolt is an incredible rapid strike counter and gouging fire has one of the new best moves in the game
Competitively, I think they're just about equal. The majority of the paradox mons aren't really noteworthy because of the presence of other mons who want to do similar things but also have abilities, and then there are Flutter Mane, Iron Bundle and Iron Hands who really just don't care that they don't have an ability sometimes. They're pretty on par in terms of overall viability
@@MelodyLuminaI've been using Gouging Fire on showdown and packing people up. The team is Whim, Wellspring Ogerpon, Landorus-T, Gouging Fire, Urshifu-Dark, and Iron Hands. You DD once with Gouging Fire, and Heatcrash/Dragon Claw runs rampant.
@@MelodyLumina Crown has the ungodly combo of expanding force and Tachion Cutter bypasses accuracy and can break throught fpcus sash, and being steel means it counters flutter and is faster than Urshifu without the quark drive boost Personally I think is Boulder = Bolt = Crown > Fire
for some reason they coded Stellar wrong (i will pretend anyway) and it literally just… turns off Adaptability. I was thinking porygon-z would be the best user but maybe Contrary Enamorus
Moxie desperate for his life when Amoonguss received Prankster
Wait WOT
Elaborate
Second battle guys, when Sableye passed Prankster to Amoong
@@AggronOverlord_306 ok
Of course the staple remover is the best Pokémon of the DLC, he can just remove staples and win
You can use him as a bridge to victory
Now that you say it, its shape is very much like a staple remover
“Staple remover coded”
Comedy gold
Yeah he removes the Staples that keeps this game together
That Sableye Skill Swap to give Amoongus prankster spore was so out of pocket
Peak no team preview

Stellar Enamorus should actually be a good option as Tera Blast will boost Atk and SpA on it.
Also Enamorous learns Stored Power. Disgusting™
Now why would I commit tera to a 135/106 fairy when I could commit Tera to 135/135 fairy?

Can you send a team using that set? I’m interested

I like Moxie's analogy on Stellar Tera. It's like having a gun, and each Type are the bullets. You only get 1 of each Type of bullet to shoot.
When we get a restricted format you should do moon moon moon moon. It would be terrible. However content
Three wolf moon t-shirt thumbnail gonna go crazy
I love that you named him super fly, i really have to read part 4 again
I was wondering if it was a jojo’s reference and you should Diamond is Unbreakable is super good and something needs to pass the time until we get the official translation of Steel Ball Run
@ yeah steel ball run is my fav part
Gotta love that lunala and dawn wings team in the first battle
I like how the first guy had a full gen 7 team
I’m loving it! Justice for Duraludon!! He should have always had an Evolution and many folks expected one back then.

Stellar would probably work good with mons like Porygon-Z. Normal types like that get loads of coverage and really appreciate the boost to all of them.
And porygon-Z would get the adaptability boost
Whenever you do the Hydrapple video, could the thumbnail be the derp ghidorah meme?
Ngl the skill swap sableye with prankster to amoongus goes hard
"What is stopping it? Content is stopping it" I am laughing so hard rn 😂😂
Hear me out. They talked abt having stamina on archy, this man learns body press.
I love the build diversity it has with Stamina tanking or just being a Gun that can ignore Amongoos/Whimsicott, nice to see it so popular, but also I have used Sunny Day too many times in response to the Electro Shot charge turn and its just pure comedy
This makes me happy, I love duraludon and archaludon
I really wanna see some teams with hydrapple. I don’t think it will be very good but I love him
Everyone forgetting about the gems when trying to explain stellar tera tho. rip the gems
Weren't the gems 50%?

What is that certain mythical Pokémon?
fun fact: archaludon has a base defense of 130
and it has stamina
and a good typing defensively

With all do respect that prankster Amoongus game was smart as heck
Casual battle stadium is a chaotic lawless place
My guy it's a dragon type not weak to fairy and a steel not weak to incineroar, course its gonna be good
Almost didn't recognize who was joining then remembered the article. Nice vid
Shoutout to the first kid with the Alola themed team
Dude that skill swap into prankster spore had me fearing for you guys
Marcos and Brady playing Pokemon while locking toes, dudes being dudes.
love the JJBA nickname for archaludon
Fits so well too
Oh, that last match was really good for showing off the stellar type. Even after watching the Stellar breakdown video, I feel like I only fully understood now!
Nice videos as always =]
Okay just hear me out:
Assault Vest Stellar Tera Mixed Attacker Eelektross
Sounds good tbh I might steal that idea for showdown
Yeah thanks for the idea
Brady a real one for pulling up with magma storm Heatran and just hitting lol

“Carry this you filthy casual” sent me flying 🤣🤣🤣
Timmy has gotten older.
Video starts at 0:00
Love the Inceineroar named "Gato=1" lol
Super fly is such a clever name
It would be great if each crystal physically fell off the tera hat when you used its type.
kind bonnet kills me every time i see it 😂

Don’t be scared
Porygon z Tera ice blizzard spam is soooo much fun man

super fly is a really good name for an archaludon
Poor little Timmy
YOOOOO THAT SABLEYE PLAYER IS COOKING!!!
I just know they had a sloppy make-out sesh after the recording stopped
lol ok
Bro lost against the new 2 moons team, what a foreshadow
Archaludon is my fav pokemon, he such a bridge!!!
not even VGC can let me escape the chippi chappa meme
I love this stupid dragon bridge staple remover railgun
It’s 1.2 on non-stab and not 1.5? It keeps getting worse. There’s no reason for the boost to disappear when it’s only 1.2
I didnt hear in this video but if you werent running stellar what would be a good tera for arcg? Electric maybe or Steel/Dragon for the extra stab and resiztances?
poor timmy
The stellar is underwhelming, but it’s nasty on contrary users with the new busted tera blast
that pokemon a bridge
i wanna see the paste :(
In this team u think that wellspring ogerpon could fill in for urshifu?
ivs, evs and nature???
26:10 it was still a dumb play since he encored in psychic terrain... dark type or not doesn't matter.

What the stats on the archaludon
Its a psedo legendary
If I were to use Metagross this Gen, would it be more useful on Tailwind or Trick Room? Would ask on Discord, but got banned off the server.
honestly it’s a weird speed where you could technically run both but it’s better in TR
