my day truly isn't complete until Aaron Cybertron Zheng is back, climbing the online Regulation H VGC ladder in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and providing live commentary as he goes.
QOTD: Squirtle. Real ones remember when it got it from an event, and Eviolite Follow Me Wartortle was a viable VGC tech. If Magmar and Electabuzz get the move returned to them, Squirtle deserves the same
i'll throw some random names out there: oranguru (just feels right idk), blastoise (give it back to him), the drifblim line (known for getting kids to follow them+possible aftermath shenanigans?)
Follow Me is such a funny move. Turning NPC tactic of dragging the player away to tutorialize them into a move that forces opponents to attack that Pokémon. Its even named after the song that plays whenever those segments happen in the main story.
Personally I think incineroar should get follow me. It’s really lacking in good utility moves, and it fits thematically bc wrestlers are popular and have a lot of followers
The heels in a tag-team match always distract the referee so they can cheat. So, it does thematically work. Also, give Incineroar Feint. It really needs a buff in the support department. It should be able to allow its teammates to break through Protect.
@qwilliams1539 incin doesn't need any buffs. It's been top 12 for at least 2 regulations ( I started in G) But it's been meta since it's introduction. Fake out, parting shot, intimidate, will o wisp. Is supportive enough. We don't need follow me incin
I’ve noticed more and more flying arch as a way to deal with fighting and ground types that it’s normally weak to. Especially with the rise of things like Garchomp and other good ground types. It also still maintains resistance to grass unlike a fairy Tera, doesn’t make you weak to fire like a grass Tera would (and you’re already neutral not taking things like fire Tera sun boosted eruptions even with AV), etc.
love all your episodes of road to ranked where you climb the online Regulation H ladder in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and provide live commentary as you go. No one does it like you
I learn something new every single time i watch one of your videos. Thank you for the absolute wealth of knowledge you share. QOTD: Give it to Empoleon. Penguins famously follow each other in long lines so it fits thematically and bulky support fits it's typing so well.
Still wild to me how Michael can be arguably the best singles player in the world and also just casually show up to VGC world championships and take 2nd place. Dude is rediculous
And for QotD Zamazenta seems like the obvious answer to me. Obviously only relevant in restricted formats, but c'mon. It's literally a tank from an RPG. Total no brainer
The game against Fede Campo was intense. Stuff like that is why you're still my favourite poketuber after 5 years, Aaron. There's nothing like being able to watch two of the best players in the world duke it out with commentary from one of them. Never stop!
I was just playing with the team I used vs James for fun while traveling and wasn’t recording, there won’t be a video featuring that team at all, sorry! We should be doing an exhibition match for Beastcoast soon though
oh wild, 252 Timid Kilowattrel is 194 speed. 252 Adamant Dragapult is also 194 speed. That was a speed tie in game 4 for them to get that Tailwind off.
Mimikyu technically never had follow me, but Z Destiny bond in sm has the secondary affect of follow me. Making all pokemon target it as well as making them faint from destiny bond itself
Question. You recognize a lot of pokemon by name before the mon appears onscreen even in other languages. Are you able to read any other languages? Do you mostly just recognize/memorize the look of different pokemon's names? Great vid as always ✌️
QOTD: I think Greedent could do something really cool with Follow Me, using Cheek Pouch to soak up a ton of damage. It makes sense, too, as a lot of the other rodents get the move.
So proud of my german vgc players. Besides Markus there were not a lot of good VGC Players but within 2 Years you can see an amazing increase of talented new Players. I'm really looking forward toward the next big events, and hope that I will one day be on that level to compete on Regionals or in tournament myself
QOTD: Lucario used to get Follow Me, would be cool to see it get it back. It has bullet punch to threaten Flutter Mane (obviously not legal right now but in past formats it could have been really cool), and has inner focus to ignore fake out.
So glad I get to watch you climb the Online Regulation H VGC Ladder in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and provide live commentary as you go while I cook some Ha cheung fun. It’s a great night.
for what it's worth the flying tera arch seems to be a somewhat newer meta call, in order to deal with all the flying/poison mons that are killing the grass tera variant, definitely loses in the mirror matchup but is good into this type of team
QOTD: Alcremie. Having redirection in a mon with immunity to Taunt thanks to Aroma Veil sounds incredibly good. Throw Safety Goggles to the mix, and it will raise like a cake in the oven
I think the Chansey line should get follow me. It would be really nice for a Mon with a deep support pool to be able to tank hits for it partner, it’s very weak to physical super effective hits, but it would be really nice vs special attackers
I am a big fan of Blastoise and it has an interesting tool kit in Fake Out, Icy Wind, Yawn etc., but I think it would be at least on par with the other Kanto starters if given Follow Me as well.
QOTD: A grass type of some sort. Give another effective counter to Amoongus/Brute Bonnet/The Lilligant Forms/etc I'd say Sunflora because Sunflowers are my favorite. But I don't know how viable that Pokémon would actually be, even with Follow Me. So I'd leave it to the VGC players to decide
hey Aaron, can you show us the Delphox team? is looks fun and weird because Delphox has never been good in vgc and having a nitche now is really interesting
hello, a friend told me about this channel and i decided come see. I love indepth analysis. Pokemon that should get follow me which is abit surprising is Tinkaton. It could be amazing offensive support mon with it or Tsareena
@@carawayseed so does intimidate helps lower the damage of body press? And does screech/leer lowers it too? Im so confused. I thought it’s based of the defense alone..
@@MistySummers900Intimidate, no. That lowers attack, not defense. Leer and Screech, yes. The reason burn lowers it is not because burn halves the attack stat, but because it halves damage of all physical moves, barring those with set damage.
I like this archetype but i was using electabuzz instead of magmar for the rain matchup. What benefits does magmar have over electabuzz? I also noticed this team struggles against amoongus
all the pokemon that got additional evos in DP should get follow me as their signatures this would mean Rhyperior, Tangrowth and Porygonz should also get them and then we can all suffer together
Qotd: i think empoleon should get follow me. Its an emperor pokemon, so surely within lore pokemon would instinctively target the leader. Plus, its a massive leader. But honestly, just give us togekiss back for follow me, that would be excellent in the current meta with tera poison for sneasler.
Why are all the Pokémons shiny? I don't play Pokémon and so I don't about the gameplay mechanics as far as I know capturing shinies are hard as there are less shiny Pokémon encounters. I only follow the competitive scenes (thanks wolfey 🤧) and yet I see all of Aaron's mons are shiny, all of Aaron's opponents' mons are shiny and all the players in Worlds Championship have shiny mons, is there any mod at play here?
It’s a redirection mon that can’t be put to sleep because of vital spirit and gets tanky with Eviolite. It also has the ability to output damage unlike things like Clefairy which are strictly support. Magmar also gets support in stuff like will-o-wisp. The first game shows off pretty much all of that
I'm a bit salty that I built an almost identical team to this a month ago, with the intention of bringing it to Louisville, and now everyone will think I'm just copying Cybertron :( On the other hand, watching a player much better than me play with the team should be very informative!
my day truly isn't complete until Aaron Cybertron Zheng is back, climbing the online Regulation H VGC ladder in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and providing live commentary as he goes.
Do you say it with him? Coz I do
you gotta say it with him and then hear the old dragon ball theme song but it sings “cyber cybertron… cybertron ZHENG”
😂
These comments 😅
How do you end a day when he doesn't upload?
QOTD: Squirtle. Real ones remember when it got it from an event, and Eviolite Follow Me Wartortle was a viable VGC tech. If Magmar and Electabuzz get the move returned to them, Squirtle deserves the same
Aaron your hard work and dedication to your craft helps brighten the lives of so, so many people, including me. Thank you 😁
Thank you for your kind words and for watching 💙
i'll throw some random names out there: oranguru (just feels right idk), blastoise (give it back to him), the drifblim line (known for getting kids to follow them+possible aftermath shenanigans?)
Fun fact: timid Kilowattrel and adamant Dragapult actually tie in speed at 194 xD
Follow Me is such a funny move. Turning NPC tactic of dragging the player away to tutorialize them into a move that forces opponents to attack that Pokémon. Its even named after the song that plays whenever those segments happen in the main story.
Fire/water/grass AND dragon/steel/fairy, very nice
What about fighting steel fairy the more cyclical one :p
Personally I think incineroar should get follow me. It’s really lacking in good utility moves, and it fits thematically bc wrestlers are popular and have a lot of followers
😂
I hope you're kidding lol lol
The heels in a tag-team match always distract the referee so they can cheat. So, it does thematically work.
Also, give Incineroar Feint. It really needs a buff in the support department. It should be able to allow its teammates to break through Protect.
@qwilliams1539 incin doesn't need any buffs.
It's been top 12 for at least 2 regulations ( I started in G)
But it's been meta since it's introduction.
Fake out, parting shot, intimidate, will o wisp. Is supportive enough.
We don't need follow me incin
@@Ryan-gk6kohell no bro
If it’s not at 100% usage it’s not good enough, needs buffs
it was fun battling you yesterday with my dozo/pawmot team, despite not making it in the video. maybe next time :)
QOTD:Incineroar, let's see if we can get Wolfey to faint.
Thematically, it makes sense. Follow me seems like a perfect move for a flashy wrestler.
I’ve noticed more and more flying arch as a way to deal with fighting and ground types that it’s normally weak to. Especially with the rise of things like Garchomp and other good ground types. It also still maintains resistance to grass unlike a fairy Tera, doesn’t make you weak to fire like a grass Tera would (and you’re already neutral not taking things like fire Tera sun boosted eruptions even with AV), etc.
Makes a lot of sense, nice observation
I used mine with bug tera.
With rain, fire isn't as scary and the resistance to ground and fighting.
But flying is cool

Aaron's world tour has finally dropped him back at home!
I LOVE this team. I'm soooo happy you're using it!
Politoad with follow me would be an absolute beast and take over from the pelipper domination
QOTD: i think klefki would be a funny pick, competitively it could support pretty well but im just imagining a lil key jiggle to redirect attacks
The game against Fede Campo was intense. Stuff like that is why you're still my favourite poketuber after 5 years, Aaron. There's nothing like being able to watch two of the best players in the world duke it out with commentary from one of them.
Never stop!
Hear to see the James Baek ladder match 👀
I don't see it :(
He was prob just testing out the team on James video
I was just playing with the team I used vs James for fun while traveling and wasn’t recording, there won’t be a video featuring that team at all, sorry! We should be doing an exhibition match for Beastcoast soon though
@@CybertronVGC That's good to know, specially because I didn't found the team you used that match much interesting either
@@CybertronVGC i had hoped to see it, but now i'm super excited for the exhibition match
oh wild, 252 Timid Kilowattrel is 194 speed. 252 Adamant Dragapult is also 194 speed. That was a speed tie in game 4 for them to get that Tailwind off.
It made an impression on me too, so I looked it up right before I saw your comment. Speed tie indeed, wild
Thank you for doing these, I just love having these on!
Thank you sir. I've a trip tomorrow morning and I immediately downloaded this video so I can start my trip off with an amazing start.
I think tera flying archaludon is so underrated now especially with the amount of sneasler and rillaboom
QOTD: I think Falinks not getting Follow Me is a missed opportunity. It would also be somewhat interesting since it has Defiant.
I'd actually like to see Mimikyu with follow me due to its good typing and fits it always wanting attention dex entries.
Disguise + follow me would be absolutely busted, put that next to a setup mon and idk how you beat that in non-restricted formats
@@mat.quantum2671mold breaker if for some reason someone is running a mold breaker mon

Sneasler the Chien Pao of Reg H, boy everywhere :)
Im actually surprised Blastoise didn't get back Follow Me, when Magmar and Buzz got it

I'm really looking forward toward the next big events, and hope that I will one day be on that level to compete on Regionals or in tournament myself

Only if they lose Minimize
@@qwilliams1539 they did in gen 9
I think it would be really funny if Zoroark especially Hisuian Zoroark got Follow Me
I am a big fan of Blastoise and it has an interesting tool kit in Fake Out, Icy Wind, Yawn etc., but I think it would be at least on par with the other Kanto starters if given Follow Me as well.
PresentLP and nestfloh in a CybertronVGC upload.
Aaron and James video at same time almost, which one to see first is a great dilemma to have :^]
QOTD: A grass type of some sort. Give another effective counter to Amoongus/Brute Bonnet/The Lilligant Forms/etc
I'd say Sunflora because Sunflowers are my favorite. But I don't know how viable that Pokémon would actually be, even with Follow Me. So I'd leave it to the VGC players to decide
Wow I caught this video resllt early (under 2 minutes) really dope team too
1:23:50. Indisputable evidence of Aaron hitting a crucial Will-o-Wisp!
And again at 1:34:20
Perfect timing for bedtime
Does the poison touch ability chance from snealer happen after the status chance effect of direclaw?
Thanks 🎉
hey Aaron, can you show us the Delphox team? is looks fun and weird because Delphox has never been good in vgc and having a nitche now is really interesting
Perfect upload time, also can you do a q&a for next podcast episode?
hello, a friend told me about this channel and i decided come see. I love indepth analysis. Pokemon that should get follow me which is abit surprising is Tinkaton. It could be amazing offensive support mon with it or Tsareena
Does burn reduce body press damage? Since it depends on defense stat
Yes, burn halves physical damage, so it does reduce the damage of body press
@@carawayseed so does intimidate helps lower the damage of body press? And does screech/leer lowers it too? Im so confused. I thought it’s based of the defense alone..
@@MistySummers900Intimidate, no. That lowers attack, not defense. Leer and Screech, yes. The reason burn lowers it is not because burn halves the attack stat, but because it halves damage of all physical moves, barring those with set damage.
@@qwilliams1539 THANK YOU FOR THE CLEAR EXPLANATION. Helped out alot!!! 🙏🏼
QOTD: Gengar, cursed body + ghost typing would make it a menace
Golduck should get follow me. It's so close to being viable imo, and i think that plus cloud nine would make it a fun, niche antiweather pick
Would have been sick in Game 1 if Outrage had hit that Archaludon on switch in
New video, new room
We love us some CybertronVGC baby!
I like this archetype but i was using electabuzz instead of magmar for the rain matchup. What benefits does magmar have over electabuzz? I also noticed this team struggles against amoongus
it KOs Gholdengo
all the pokemon that got additional evos in DP should get follow me as their signatures this would mean
Rhyperior, Tangrowth and Porygonz should also get them and then we can all suffer together
I think Arboliva getting follow me would be great and would make its interesting abbility much better
QOTD: Shuckle😂
Also, maybe something like Dewgong so it has a purpose
Should make a video using the 6th place team
Where's the match against James??
Doesn’t rilla’s grassy surge lower the damage of high horsepower?
Only Earthquake, Bulldoze, and Magnitude.
Poison Touch is to make Dire Claw poison the opponent more often?
It give fake out, close combat a chance to poison
Spiritomb, with its immunity to normal fighting and psychic it would be super annoying lol
Qotd: i think empoleon should get follow me. Its an emperor pokemon, so surely within lore pokemon would instinctively target the leader. Plus, its a massive leader. But honestly, just give us togekiss back for follow me, that would be excellent in the current meta with tera poison for sneasler.
SPERK MENTIONED
THIS IS SPERK
SPERK IS POWERFUL
Qotd: Maybe Weezing or Sableye?
oh no, someone posted what I was gonna post! welp, gonna have to improvise this comment ;)
(I tease! Another fun VGC video
Damn we got music now? Lfg
literally just the blaziken team but sneasler and magmar instead of blaziken electabuzz
Why are all the Pokémons shiny? I don't play Pokémon and so I don't about the gameplay mechanics as far as I know capturing shinies are hard as there are less shiny Pokémon encounters.

For lore reasons, Hypno should get follow me. This could possibly give the ugly elephant-gnome a niche

QOTD: Incineroar
Skeledirge should get follow me because it’s a performer :) and because I love it
Politoed should get follow me!
Politoed looks like it should maybe get Fake Out too, just look at those hands
QOTD: would love to see blastoise get follow me again
Goat
Snorlax with follow me would be nice😂
O'Kon Expressway
I awlays thought that Whimsicott has Follow me
Pikachu line should get follow me!!
Im not a pronplayer or anything but think fire type Pokémon cant miss Will-O-Whisp ☺️
Maybe someone can confirm or Maybe im wrong 😓
No that’s not true lol that would be broken
QOTD: I really wish Politoed got follow me.
Comment for the algorithm
Anyone want to help me hunt shiny zygarde in the swsh dlc?
Give my boy Granbull follow me. He needs some help lol. Havent been able to make him work after 2015
Ivy Walk
hear me out: lanturn should get follow me
