Thanks for watching, all! What do you think of the 3 groudon teams we presented here? Groudon is a very versatile restricted and there's more ways to try and use it, but we merely presented 3 common & easy ideas ~
Groudon is my favourite restricted having been the first legendary I caught back in ruby. It getting all these "buffs" with clear amulet and the proto mons made me happy. Great video and 3 cool teams I shall test
Watching this video was like revisiting my thought process a couple of weeks ago. I went with Groudon, Farig, Firepon, Rilla, Flutter, and Walking Wake
Im basically running the exact same core 5 on that groudon team but ive been struggling for a 6th mon to use, ive used ogerpon hearthflame, gouging fire, kingambit and settled with hearthflame for now but still think there could be a better option
Is Terra dark viable on kingambit for more damage? Eliminates his ground and fire weaknesses and reduces the fighting one, I understand he’s still weak to fairy its just fairy kingambit is a little common and I’ve had people predictably sludge bomb kingambit knowing he would Terra fairy LOL
that doesn't matter too much. Think back to SwSh in dual restricted format when Zacian and Groudon were used together. Here it works just the same. Gouging fire with howl and kingambit are a great pair. You can boost sucker punches with protect and howl and it gives you good calyrex matchups and deters incineroar
Love these teams. One thing I would like to add for anyone building around Groudon is to consider sash flutter! It’s really good on comps like this because you will often outspeed everything except for bundle by being able to go 252 timid and you’re able to icy wind for your strong attackers like Groudon, Ogerpon-H, etc.
In pokemon, when you invest your vitamins to increase a stat, usually it goes up by 1 point. However, in the natured stat that you chose (ex: adamant), you'll see a "bump" in that stat only when you invest EVs. There are 3 distinct points within the 252 bar where the stat will increase by 2 points instead of one. Look at Heatran and make it modest. You'll see that as you move the slider and get it to +76 the special attack increases by 2 points instead of one! Amazing! From here, the rule is that for every 80 EVs invested after the first bump, you'll see it again. So +156 and +236 investment in special attack you'll see the 2nd and 3rd bump. Hopefully this helps!
I do. Yes that is correct. I prefer not to discuss it here. You can DM on discord if you'd really like to know more details, but he has announced himself that he won't be returning unfortunately

@@CloverBells Thanks for the tips! Completely new to VGC and I'm learning that it's a steep learning curve! A lot of the videos online don't cater to complete noobs, so I appreciate that!

go for it!

yes it's a good core
YESS FINALLY
haha
really great teams you got!
thank you!
I like the idea of shadow ball on the giraffe for shadow horse
a little niche, can work
Im basically running the exact same core 5 on that groudon team but ive been struggling for a 6th mon to use, ive used ogerpon hearthflame, gouging fire, kingambit and settled with hearthflame for now but still think there could be a better option
theres like 4 groudon teams here lol
I meant to say I'm running the first team but with ogerpon😂
@@aoxVGC understood!

yes
Why use kingambit in sun? Doesn’t that make it a little vulnerable?

For laddering do you prefer the groudon team with kingambit or the Miraidon team with kingambit?
both
Should I hypertrain speed and attack on porygon 2?
you don't need speed
Love these teams. One thing I would like to add for anyone building around Groudon is to consider sash flutter!

yes sash icy wind flutter is good here. Thats probably better
That's what I'm doing just a 252/252 spread and max speed timid, very fast flutter spreads recently made any bulk investment feel redundant
What are EV bumps, i always hear them but don’t understand them

@@CloverBellsohhhh i see now! Thanks for responding, does the bump work the same when eving defensively, or does it mainly apply to offense?
@aldolopez5591 yup! it applies to any natured stat. Change the nature to impish, calm, careful etc. You'll see it in the defenses and spdefs
I wanna try Groudon/Brute Bonnet
that one can work too
Dude any chance you know what happened to NeilVGC? His channel is gone and all I've heard is he made a specific comment
I do. Yes that is correct. I prefer not to discuss it here. You can DM on discord if you'd really like to know more details, but he has announced himself that he won't be returning unfortunately
@@CloverBellsI was wondering the same thing? Is he okay??
@@CloverBells ah I see. It was brought to light on showdown chat and lots of us were caught off guard. Anyways, thanks
@@giancarloandretorresguzman7717where?
Lunala next pls!
Itll come when I think it's time 😜
