If the risk/reward is this skewed, it's actually just genius to "read" the switch despite how stupid it looks to just mash a water move on storm drain XD I suspect in MOST games that Gastro dies to Knock Off in this situation leaving a very solid opening for water moves going forward but only when both players are aware of it does something like this become so good.

im a casual stall player and i absolutely adore watching it get destroyed lmao. its like watching a surgeon carefully take out and destroy a tumour. sure, i find it fun to play as the tumour, but watching it get taken apart with incredible precision is something that i cant help but respect.

Was going to post this exact comment. Chat is cool, but it's obstructing the turn-by-turn data, which would be fine if the turns weren't skipped (which I understand why they were skipped because this is live commentary), so moving the chatbox up covering the last turn info instead of current would be preferable I think.

just saw the teams, what I'd personally focus on first is Knocking anything in sight, hoping to get the Gastrodon or Blissey. Blissey so you can wear it down with Hazards, Gastro so you can check if it's Storm Drain or Sticky Hold because both are quite viable in OU

what an insane game, that crabhammer miss and zapdos getting haxed made it insanely close, wp Freezai! That said, wtf this guy's team was literally 6-0'd by Banded or Orb Urshifu-R
Hey Frrezai! Love your channel and been subscribed for a minute. I love Pokemon but I really don't like competitive pokemon. Watching your videos has been informative and exciting and gives something to like about the competitive scene without actually having to participate in it myself Keep up the awesome work! 👌🏼😁
😞 this is why semistall will always be better than pure stall, imagine a team this slow, that basically allows wallbreakers to do whatever they want to you.
that fifth crabhammer though that was insane also why seismitoad on this over kingdra? kingdra is stronger and has 291/226/226 bulk uninvested compared to seismitoad's 351/186/186, and according to my calculations, that means kingdra has better uninvested bulk, kingdra is also faster and has access to flip turn. seismitoad does have the stronger 100% accurate stab move in weather ball though, as well as being immune to electric and having the generally better defensive typing. it also has ground stab for toxapex (not that physdef pex switches into specs draco) and is able to hit ferrothorn harder than kingdra is. is it really just for toxapex lmao
If you're going to block the chat, maybe don't skip turns. This is impossible to follow as we do not see the moves used unless you happened to call it out.
I love the sound of the labtop pad when you click it! It’s like asmr in the middle of a EPIC TOURNAMENT VIDEO, sounds conflicting but it’s a nice mix for me haha, and good job! Your so good at this game dog
it was a predict, if i hit gastrodon with knock off it dies in one hit, but if I knock off the clefable I take recoil damage, and would die sooner, basically every turn was a predict knocking and using crabhammer
Here I was expecting something stupid like 4 protects in a row, instwad you just out mind gamed him with Krabominable Tactics Life Orb Adaptability Crawdaunt
Clefable survives a +2 Knock Off and while it doesnt survive Crabhammer, Life Orb damage would take a toll on Crawdaunt's health. The rest dies unboosted, Gastrodon is below half health and Toxapex is dead Gastrodon can click Protect as much as it can switch to Clefable and it probably felt optimal to just predict the Clefable switch than to use Knock Off against Gastrodon repeatedly as Gastrodon is easier to handle later once Clefable is removed. It was basically trying to weather Life Orb damage, Swords Dance is unecessary because the damage output is sufficient (or not enough in Clefable's case) Oh and Clefable has Unaware lol
Freezai: Why did you miss the first crabhammer?
Crawdaunt: I like to play with my food...

No matter what kind of Pokemon player you are, stall being destroyed is ALWAYS satisfying
Even stall players want to see stall comps lose
I am not a Pokémon player and I like the concept of Stall a lot.
Say what y’all will but stall takes skill, it’s genuinely interesting to watch

Crawdaunt is such a well designed pokemon, he's one of my favorites design wise

Damn it really wished i could've seen this live. Freezai goat as always, I tried so hard to hold back my scream lol
The people spamming the spectator chat with a bunch of clickbait titles in the beginning of the battle was pretty damn funny
“We’re playing stall so I’m looking at crawdawnt” my man you should always be looking at crawdawnt shits broken

was very nice to see stall user get owned like that

I cant believe you kept using crabhammer lmaoo
Never knew freezai was a mate from India xD... His accent is so not from here 🤣🤣
So you see.. never use stall in the pokemon world cup
the youtube title predictions at the start of the game are frying me
Guess he instantly regretted it
The cojones to keep clicking crabhammer lmao
The end was a real nail biter. Sick game, gg
bro is an indian and I realize this today after following showdown for 3 years XDD
I am literally flabbergasted.
Love freezai
lol this was used for a university study
I come here for quantum fracture

2 years later and this is still legendary
In OU, Crawdaunt goes absolutely diabolical. Heres how.
he's not changing people he's changing lives...

Electric immunity
max speed specs Regieleki would run a tear through his team
Question: Why would you run Mystic Water on Seismitoad?
Life orb recoil is annoying for a bulky Pokémon, and that rain boost plus stab plus mystic water is very effective for it’s role
My heart broke when that crabhammer missed
Then it repaired when you hitted the second
Imagine bringing stall to a world cup tournament, I'd rather be asleep
I wonder where in the south they are it’s not often I see competitive players down here
Sorry if this is a dumb question but do the players who represent the countries in the world cup also belong to the same countries?
What a crazy Toxipex sacrifice. It all went downhill for Eo from there.
the other guy's luck is insane
