Correction! At 13:24 the text for Sand Veil is incorrect. It should say: Raises the Pokémon’s evasion during a sandstorm by one stage. 23:03 Choice Specs says 50% speed boost it should be 50% SpAtk boost.
@@Cigmacica I see the reasoning but I like smoked both because how ironic it is and also because words like smoked, demolished, or solo'd sound more like they got their asses whooped
I want to sincerely thank you for making this video series. I've recently started playing VGC (after playing the TCG on and off since 2010, needed a change but thats a long story for another day) and I've been trying to figure everything out, until the Algorithm Gods graced my feed with your channel/videos. I had a general idea about how VGC is played with being around it/casually watching it over the years but your videos explained everything so incredibly succinct and clear, I can't thank you enough. After a few weeks of struggling on ladder and after seeing your videos I was FINALLY able to hit Masterball Rank 😊 sorry this comment is really REALLY long, I just wanted to show my appreciation and let you know how grateful I am. I'm looking forward to where you take this channel in the future 😀
@@agentc00k5389 Love to hear it my guy, actually makes my day to hear someone was able to benefit. Stay tuned for more to come, and if there's any topic you would like to see explained let me know!
Awesome guide! Thanks for doing a detailed breakdown of the process. Teambuilding is overwhelming but the questions you asked during each step really helps with understanding the reason behind each decision. I look forward to checking more of your VGC resources!
@@allanfarrell9306 Thanks! Glad the breakdown helps. If there's any other topics you would like broken down let me know as I'm compiling more topics at the moment.
I just recently found your channel and not sure if you have covered any of these topics already but I'd love to see breakdowns on: - Game plans - Team preview - Protect -Teambuilding guide on semiroom archetype Thanks!
@@allanfarrell9306 I am considering doing another series going over common moves and how they work/how to best use them and protect will be one of the first ones for that. Team preview is another good topic I had my eye on. I believe my archetype video goes over gameplans if you are thinking something other than what I had there about gameplans lmk!
Ive been playing since April and one thing thats been consistent for me has been my struggle with team building while I'm set on my team for the rest of the regulation ill be sure to use what ive learnt here for future teams
Great Video! Thank you so much for explaining how Teambuilding works. The most insane thing is: I used a very similar team like you showed in this video. My team is Garchomp, Dragonite, Alola Ninetails, Crorverknight, Sneasler and Incin. I wanted to make a cool Dragon Offensive Team with sneasler couching, and croverknight for tailwind while a9 use Auroa Veil. Unfortunately, this team ended up not being good because it focuses not on being a balanced or offensive. It trys to be both but that doesn't work. I feel like my core with couching was a fail. My problem is speed control. Thankfully, your video explained the importance of speed pretty well, so I can understand that. I really didn't knew that Tr is a thing for speed control. This video is pretty helpful!
@@Halit-Seven Love to hear you learned something! I think Corviknight is very strong in the current metagame and I have seen coaching have good success as well. Personally I find it is a harder to use type of team due to putting all your eggs in one basket by using coaching vs attacking twice.
Good video. Im ngl the team you built is a little outdated for the current meta, but the principles are good regardless I would have a section talking about a mix of physical and special attackers
@@Joeybanananas The meta changes fast for sure. I was using usage stats from Louisville which was a while back but it's what I had when writing the script haha. I think I mentioned it in step 7 and we had to much physcial offense originally but you are not wrong that it could have been more central. I might do another run down with a different archetype in the future as another example.
I got top 1000 in the GC by team building around garchomp double dragon idea and I also started with Dragonite and switched to tera fire hydreigon, definitely garchomp a best partner currently for vgc right now.
I wish showdown or the in game ladder gave you stats for how many times you bring each mon and maybe even each individual mon's winrate in that session
@@erensy641 Thanks! I've been playing for a couple years so the knowledge builds. I have streamed a bit way back but don't plan to right now. I think time is better spent making videos for now at least.
I have a question though: How did you work out those EV spreads? Those EV spread seems rather complicated compared to the standard 252/252 spread. Did you test those spread against a hypothetical team or you made those stats based on how much damage a Pokemon could take and how much they could dish out against a particular Pokemon of your opponent?
@@japethspeaketh7034 Good question! I believe I said the Incineroar spread had enough attack EVs to OHKO Gholdengo with a knock off. My Advanced Guide to EV Spreads video is a great explanation of making complex EV spreads and it includes a few examples!
@@Subzero-official523 It's a pretty crazy combo for sure. Try things like leading Fake Out for pressure and damaging Kommo-o quickly to prevent it from being able to use it's setup move. Trick room is also effective since they are boosting their speed!
Great question, I do explain it fully in my EV guide video. In short for this the first 4 EVs spend in a stat give one point, but after the first 4 you need 8 for another point. So putting 20 in HP gives 3 HP/total stats. But 12 in HP gives 2 HP and 4 in each def gives 1 def and 1 spdef each, for a total of 4 stats. Just optimizing for an extra stat point.
@@tootsie_ Well Garchomp really has not been good since the reg A so definately not every format. Incineroar will always be amazing unless they nerf him more.
@JetBlackThreat I'm not saying he should pick a niche team, but if you how you gonna call it a systematic approach and just slap a bunch non-cohesive meta mons on a team🤣
Correction!
At 13:24 the text for Sand Veil is incorrect.
It should say:
Raises the Pokémon’s evasion during a sandstorm by one stage.
23:03 Choice Specs says 50% speed boost it should be 50% SpAtk boost.
My brother in scales, we get smoked by frosty the snowman
Actually got me laughing. You're hired on the Pokemon speech bubble team.
This comment would have been even funnier if you said frozen instead of smoked
@@Cigmacica I see the reasoning but I like smoked both because how ironic it is and also because words like smoked, demolished, or solo'd sound more like they got their asses whooped
@@TheDelybird also thanks bro, with this new phone that I got yesterday I will do you proud
That snowman can smoke my corncob pipe.

Thanks for this vid. It was very helpful with finishing my team. Keep up the good work!
Great video. Very informative as always. Your channel makes me want to try competitive again.
Excellent video. Appreciate the time and detail you put into this
Great video man, I can see you going a lot further with this content
Very accurate plans and methods I recommend this to all my vgc friends that struggle identifying what to build with
@@tylerdamaso1877 Thanks! Lmk if you think going through building a different type of team would be helpful.
@ I read this wrong my bad. Yes of course, the more advice the better. Can you advise how to build with more niche mons like weezing for example?
@@tylerdamaso1877 I'll put that in the list, something like teambuilding with more niche picks!
Great video, I just started getting back into Pokémon and been watching a lot of comp. Lots of good info!
Bro I love your videos so much! You helped me a lot at getting better at competitive pokémon
Thanks! Makes my day to hear someone is benefitting!
Amazing video but I love how one day after this released garchomp had one of the most legendary falloffs in VGC history
@@zephyrlegion6047 Haha fair, I'm sure he will be back, he always comes back!

Yea, this Team is indeed hard to use. I feel like my defense isn't balanced. I will use the team you showcased in this video, but with Garchomp.
Amazing video
POV you get the refenence as goldengo moves back🎩
@@Whatwhenhowaegislash Glad somebody got it!
Great video!
Good video. Im ngl the team you built is a little outdated for the current meta, but the principles are good regardless
I would have a section talking about a mix of physical and special attackers

Looks like we had a similar idea. I agree it's a great pairing!
I have a bad habit of building teams as though I'm in the anime, just four or five boxes of vibes-based friends
Mans busy catching them all.
Another banger!!!
PMD Paradox Mons just feel so right
@@saadinhalf I love the sprites. Big fan of the people who made them!
I wish showdown or the in game ladder gave you stats for how many times you bring each mon and maybe even each individual mon's winrate in that session
@@daxdleader719 True! That would be super helpful. I guess saving replays and tracking yourself could be an option. Lots of extra work though.
You really know a lot about the game! Do you think you'll start streaming?
@@erensy641 Thanks! I've been playing for a couple years so the knowledge builds. I have streamed a bit way back but don't plan to right now. I think time is better spent making videos for now at least.
I think theres so many mons now that you can make a relevant team without niche picks
I have a question though: How did you work out those EV spreads? Those EV spread seems rather complicated compared to the standard 252/252 spread. Did you test those spread against a hypothetical team or you made those stats based on how much damage a Pokemon could take and how much they could dish out against a particular Pokemon of your opponent?

The main thing i am getting put up against is kammo-o oroicrio electric is so broken
@@Subzero-official523 It's a pretty crazy combo for sure. Try things like leading Fake Out for pressure and damaging Kommo-o quickly to prevent it from being able to use it's setup move.
Trick room is also effective since they are boosting their speed!
24:28 why 4 in defenses and 12 in hp, rather than 20 in hp?

@ I see! Thank you
So put Incineroar and Garchomp in every team and every format got it
@@tootsie_ Well Garchomp really has not been good since the reg A so definately not every format. Incineroar will always be amazing unless they nerf him more.
based video
This video kinda works for any singles/smogon as well!
Playing Pokémon for the first time as an adult has made me realize just how stupid I am lol
It's way more complex than we realized as kids, that's part of what I love about competitive, there is always room for improvement!
Sub here!
I love how this video just boils down to 90% of every team in ranked😂
He just said no niche picks
@JetBlackThreat I'm not saying he should pick a niche team, but if you how you gonna call it a systematic approach and just slap a bunch non-cohesive meta mons on a team🤣
