I still miss seeing people use Population Bomb Maushold. Something about a group of Mice taking down a ton of bigger, stronger Pokemon was just hilarious to me.
No matter how many videos you put out it still feels weird to not hear “series 12” - I feel like I really got so used to it. Maybe before long it’ll be SV series 12!
I was watching MasterMarkVGCs stream today and you matched up against him using this team. He had sylvion and volcorona, the Tera steel on annihilapa caught him off guard, was fun to watch. Was hoping to see your side in the video but it must have been while you were testing the team. Great vid as always!
Hey dude, i have to say, im a random viewer, but i really love how you set up your videos, so indepth! I forgot to sub, im going to now but, keep up this style please. Its really helpful
QotD: a slightly off-beat recommendation but "Saturday Begins" by Owane has been my go-to track whenever I find myself in a chill moment. It's instrumental guitar that's not very heavy, it's playful and a bit jazzy.
1) big fan of the channel! one of your teams you showcased in series 1 helped me get to 5000th on the ladder, so thank you! 2) All time favorite is MGMT, but I see you have that on your wall already! Currently obsessed with Ginger Root, really any song from Nisemono or City Slicker :)
Not sure if it was intended but just wanted to point out that both arcanine and flutter mane have remaining EV points to distribute among stats. Love your videos, please keep up the excellent work 👌
Usually don't comment, but I'll never miss the chance to turn people onto weird music I love. Recently found Rave the Reqviem, and have been playing their song Ovtnvmbered on repeat. Excellent band with a very unique sound and lyrical themes
Yes Aaron, Radiohead are the goats. In a similar vain try Alt J, the debut album, An Awesome Wave is life changing. Won a Mercury award at the time, 5 stars across the board.
I've been using tera normal throat spray bulky skeledirge w/ hyper voice and torch song and its been really helpful vs the many ghost types in the meta. Paired w/ a fake out user, redirect, or screen, then it can snowball really well.
I just realized that the flutterman evs are not maxed? Theres still 20 remaining evs point both on the video and in the paste? If this is intentional and the team is that good then props to the creator for making it well done
Favorite song would maybe be The Whale and the Wasp by I think Alice in Chains. Always great to hear your opinions and play by play of the current game. I haven't played Pokémon in a good bit, but you make it easy to at least get a grasp as to what may be in the VGC tournaments or just what's going on.
Radiohead is so choice, hard to pick a favorite but house of cards, daydreaming, There There, and Nude all spring immediately to mind for me. Keep enjoying and thanks for another vid!
Music of the moment would be either To The Skies And Beyond, from Brothers of Metal, or Infinity from Amaranthe. Both are incredibly beautiful, imo. I just absolutely love symphonic metal, but these two... I can listen for hours on repeat and I have been for the past 2 years or so, every single time I use my car. They're just that good to me.
QotD: Pokemon-related, I just started listening to the Black and White soundtrack again. Very, very underrated. Not-Pokemon-related, David Bowie’s someone I just started getting into again - Let’s Dance, Rebel Rebel, The Jean Genie, China Girl…classic tracks from a classic artist. 🎶🎶🎶
I was going to answer the QOTD but every time I made a choice another song came up to replace it. The best I can do is top 5 and this was difficult enough. Rav - Prosthetic Self Love, "Benzi Box" - DANGERDOOM and CeeLo Green, "Baby Don't Cry" K-Flay, "Bats" - Hokey Fright, "Halls of Illusion" - Insane Clown Posse. Also I fucking LOVE this team I'm 1000% using this rental wtf
QOTD: I tend more to Japanese songs due to my weeaboo condition and the great OPs on the anime. So, for now, Tombi by Kvi Baba or a recent addition to my list: Judgement, by Ash Da Hero. But also, because it should be a given, Kick Back, by Kenshi Yonezu.
And now my team will be prepped against... lol, thanks for this.. been killing it ... still.. with this combo since s1, and you've made ppl aware of it again...
QOTD: The Summoning by Sleep Token. Enjoy the videos, been looking to get into VGC with a buddy and currently trying to work on teams for him for Knoxville while i do the same for TCG.
In a similar vein, I am contemplating using Farigiraf alongside Annihilape as Farigiraf can make use of Trick Room to allow for a bulky Annihilape and wondered if you thought Beat Up from Farigiraf, as it has access as an egg move, is worth the boost to the Rage Fist combo or if the lack of Friend Guard makes the classic Maushold combo more relevant.
My favorite song atm is I Want Your Video by Djo, but my favorite Radiohead song listening through In Rainbows for the first time was Jigsaw Falling Into Place too! I remember years ago when you had Tame Impalas album, Currents on your wall and I listened to them because of your recommendation! Anyways great battles keep up the work!
I LOVE RADIOHEAD AND JIGSAW FALLING INTO PLACE IS DEFINITELY A CERTIFIED BANGER. My favourite song atm is definitely dark necessities by red hot chilli peppers
QOTD: If you found Radiohead (which is something everyone should experience in their life) I want you to check out the album Laughing Matter by Wand. My favorite song at the moment has to be Welcome to Hell by black midi. The whole album is a mad masterpiece.
QOTD: I was listening to a Japanese artist named Masayoshi Takanaka - he showed up randomly in my UA-cam feed and the thumbnail was really fun, a picture of someone (him?) skydiving over what looked like somewhere in the Caribbean. It was kinda peak 70s music - lots of funk, elements of jazz and bossa tightly woven in, and a floaty, free-spirited island feel. It was just the thing for breaking out of a winter daze!
Hey Aaron, I made a team on showdown, which I like, but however, I do not have switch to where I can use this team, its a fun and cool team. QOTD: I don’t really listen to music, so right now my fav music is the Pokemon World Champion theme.
QOTD: Americana by The Offspring. I've always liked and identified with 90's-2000's Punk and rock, and that's really the song (and Album) that I listen to just whenever.
It's a nice team but honestly it's kinda funny watching you nearly knock out the annihilape and you see the maushold finish off their own annihilape. Which is funny since I saw that happen twice.
cool wall, I think my favorite song right now is Ancient 5G Aliens by Pipe-Eye, I'm a huge fan of Cook's synthy instrumentals and that entire album is just that
I haven't done the deep dive into Radiohead yet but I feel that will come in time. I've been really into the European post-punk band "Viagra Boys" lately. Their new album Cave World was one of my favorites last year. However, no doubt in my mind that Canadian Dream Pop band "Alvvays" put out the record of the year last year, with "Blue Rev". My indie-surf band, "Cousin Greg" is putting out some new music soon. One of our songs actually references WolfeyVGC haha.
My favourite song at the moment is Niño gordo flaco by Wos (an Argentinian musician) which is a simple song about just letting a bit of craziness into our lives sometimes
Maybe you can help explain to me this one @cybertronVGC ... why does this team have so many un-used EV's? 4 out of 6 Pokemon have EV's leftover. Is there a point to this, like is it strategic?
Any idea why Annihilape is not carrying Leftovers here? It's supposed to stay on the field long enough that it gets more recovery from them than from the sitrus berry, shouldn't it?
QOTD: I've been kinda obsessed with the soundtrack from Project Moon's Library of Ruina. Specifically, the song Second Warning. It's such a hype song I could listen to it on loop for hours.
Series 2 really giving us some great matches. For some reason I've been listening Bette DAvis Eyes on repeat these past couple days 'cause I randomly heard it while walking down the street. ._.
QOTD- Hollow Hope - Takamachi Walk. I love this band and this song is absolutely beautiful. Always look forward to a new upload! Thank you for the great content :D
You get a defiant boost, you get a defiant boost, and YOU get a defiant boost. Fave song/artist atm has to be something by against the current. Just love ‘em
For song recommendations: Call me what you like by Lovejoy, Rockstar by Boywithuke, and Lost by Linkin Park all came out Friday, and they were all absolute bangers imo. Hope you enjoy!
QOTD: My favorite song at the moment is Change (in the house of flies) by Deftones. Even though I grew up listening to Nu Metal I somehow had never listened to Deftones until a couple of months ago. PS: Jigsaw falling into place is my favorite Radiohead song!
Would be awesome to see you utilize the team Kyle Livinghouse used in the Orlando Regionals! He even tweeted at you asking for this, oddly enough his team too features the mouse family, more mouse videos the better! LOL
A Clock Without a Craftsman by Lee McKinney. Over time I’ve made out a couple of those albums behind you but the first I noticed was Love is Dead by Chvrches which is an all time favorite of mine.
An opponent Imprisoning both of your moves is one of those "I'm done for the day" turns
And ice spinning the tera grass armarogue getting rid of the terrain for the expanding force was so nasty 😭
God, this hurt on so many levels
It was just a thorough outplay. I would be so mad but at the same time I’d be so impressed to have been so handily dealt the L
I would've just cancelled right there
I still miss seeing people use Population Bomb Maushold. Something about a group of Mice taking down a ton of bigger, stronger Pokemon was just hilarious to me.
No matter how many videos you put out it still feels weird to not hear “series 12” - I feel like I really got so used to it. Maybe before long it’ll be SV series 12!
Im glad i'm not the only one, this is too true.
Obviously, that lasted too long 😆
Omg same with me😂
I was watching MasterMarkVGCs stream today and you matched up against him using this team. He had sylvion and volcorona, the Tera steel on annihilapa caught him off guard, was fun to watch. Was hoping to see your side in the video but it must have been while you were testing the team. Great vid as always!
“jigsaw falling into place” is one of my all time favorite songs, so surreal hearing you casually name drop it here!
Hey dude, i have to say, im a random viewer, but i really love how you set up your videos, so indepth! I forgot to sub, im going to now but, keep up this style please. Its really helpful
QotD: a slightly off-beat recommendation but "Saturday Begins" by Owane has been my go-to track whenever I find myself in a chill moment.
It's instrumental guitar that's not very heavy, it's playful and a bit jazzy.
I literally JUST checked to see if you were going to upload today, and here you are. Thank-you for all of these consistent and entertaining uploads!
1) big fan of the channel! one of your teams you showcased in series 1 helped me get to 5000th on the ladder, so thank you!
2) All time favorite is MGMT, but I see you have that on your wall already! Currently obsessed with Ginger Root, really any song from Nisemono or City Slicker :)
That incredible imprison turn 2 of game 3!! You completely mind gamed them by making that risky read turn one. So huge!
Not sure if it was intended but just wanted to point out that both arcanine and flutter mane have remaining EV points to distribute among stats. Love your videos, please keep up the excellent work 👌
That’s actually a really good point, I don’t know what was intended there
Yeah, i was wondering about this too. If it was a mistake, where should the remaining EVs go?
Lately I've been listening to Alvvays on repeat, favorite song would probably be "Belinda says" or Tile after Tile
Jigsaw is one of my favourite Radiohead tracks! atm I've been listening to Girls and Boys by Blur on repeat, such a sick bass line
QOTD: FrankNGooms - Marika Sage
Usually don't comment, but I'll never miss the chance to turn people onto weird music I love. Recently found Rave the Reqviem, and have been playing their song Ovtnvmbered on repeat. Excellent band with a very unique sound and lyrical themes
I am just glad to see Iron Valiant. It's my favorite Paradox and it's not even close. I hope you feature it at some point!
QOTD: Personally a really big fan of the entire Terraria Calamaty Mod OST! Especially Yharon's theme. Definitely recommend it!
Yes Aaron, Radiohead are the goats. In a similar vain try Alt J, the debut album, An Awesome Wave is life changing. Won a Mercury award at the time, 5 stars across the board.
I've been using tera normal throat spray bulky skeledirge w/ hyper voice and torch song and its been really helpful vs the many ghost types in the meta. Paired w/ a fake out user, redirect, or screen, then it can snowball really well.
Definitely an interesting team, kind of reminds me of Freezai’s Orlando team
QOTD: It’s definitely Where Do We Go by Dimension right now
I just realized that the flutterman evs are not maxed? Theres still 20 remaining evs point both on the video and in the paste? If this is intentional and the team is that good then props to the creator for making it well done
Favorite song would maybe be The Whale and the Wasp by I think Alice in Chains. Always great to hear your opinions and play by play of the current game. I haven't played Pokémon in a good bit, but you make it easy to at least get a grasp as to what may be in the VGC tournaments or just what's going on.
Radiohead is so choice, hard to pick a favorite but house of cards, daydreaming, There There, and Nude all spring immediately to mind for me. Keep enjoying and thanks for another vid!
QOTD: Been on a huge binge of old school Ska/Punk stuff lately. Can't get enough of Goldfinger, Reel Big Fish, and Bouncing Souls
U. I like u.
QotD: Lucky Strike by Maroon 5 - Ran into an AMV of it - put to Toaru Kagaku no Rērugan - and its been stuck in my head for weeks now
Music of the moment would be either To The Skies And Beyond, from Brothers of Metal, or Infinity from Amaranthe.
Both are incredibly beautiful, imo. I just absolutely love symphonic metal, but these two... I can listen for hours on repeat and I have been for the past 2 years or so, every single time I use my car. They're just that good to me.
My favorite song for years has been “Why worry” by Set it Off. Really just helps me calm down and remember life happens while also being a total bop
QOTD: I finally listened to the JID album The Forever Story and I will say Surround Sound absolutely bumps
QOTD: kind of a basic answer but wish you were here continues to be one of the greatest songs ever made, can’t get enough
Love the content, just a quick one on why your maushold fainted in game 2. It was because of acid spray attack the turn before!
QotD: Pokemon-related, I just started listening to the Black and White soundtrack again. Very, very underrated.
Not-Pokemon-related, David Bowie’s someone I just started getting into again - Let’s Dance, Rebel Rebel, The Jean Genie, China Girl…classic tracks from a classic artist. 🎶🎶🎶
Thanks for always producing interesting VGC content!
For Qotd I am really liking Zero from stella magna and their other songs too.
I was going to answer the QOTD but every time I made a choice another song came up to replace it. The best I can do is top 5 and this was difficult enough. Rav - Prosthetic Self Love, "Benzi Box" - DANGERDOOM and CeeLo Green, "Baby Don't Cry" K-Flay, "Bats" - Hokey Fright, "Halls of Illusion" - Insane Clown Posse. Also I fucking LOVE this team I'm 1000% using this rental wtf
QOTD: I tend more to Japanese songs due to my weeaboo condition and the great OPs on the anime.
So, for now, Tombi by Kvi Baba or a recent addition to my list: Judgement, by Ash Da Hero. But also, because it should be a given, Kick Back, by Kenshi Yonezu.
Lorna Shore - The Pain Remains (its a 3 part song)
'Dancing with my Phone' and 'RIDE' by HYBS and 'May I Ask' by Luke Chiang were my top 3 most played songs of 2022! Hope you like em, Aaron :>
And now my team will be prepped against... lol, thanks for this.. been killing it ... still.. with this combo since s1, and you've made ppl aware of it again...
QOTD: The Summoning by Sleep Token.
Enjoy the videos, been looking to get into VGC with a buddy and currently trying to work on teams for him for Knoxville while i do the same for TCG.
In a similar vein, I am contemplating using Farigiraf alongside Annihilape as Farigiraf can make use of Trick Room to allow for a bulky Annihilape and wondered if you thought Beat Up from Farigiraf, as it has access as an egg move, is worth the boost to the Rage Fist combo or if the lack of Friend Guard makes the classic Maushold combo more relevant.
My favorite song atm is I Want Your Video by Djo, but my favorite Radiohead song listening through In Rainbows for the first time was Jigsaw Falling Into Place too! I remember years ago when you had Tame Impalas album, Currents on your wall and I listened to them because of your recommendation! Anyways great battles keep up the work!
Much respect to Marcus D’s Melancholy hopeful on the wall!!! Favorite song ATM is Slum Village’s “Fall in Love”.
Yeahhh! The return of the Maus! Your uploads always make my day... or night!
I LOVE RADIOHEAD AND JIGSAW FALLING INTO PLACE IS DEFINITELY A CERTIFIED BANGER. My favourite song atm is definitely dark necessities by red hot chilli peppers
QOTD: If you found Radiohead (which is something everyone should experience in their life) I want you to check out the album Laughing Matter by Wand.
My favorite song at the moment has to be Welcome to Hell by black midi. The whole album is a mad masterpiece.
QOTD: I was listening to a Japanese artist named Masayoshi Takanaka - he showed up randomly in my UA-cam feed and the thumbnail was really fun, a picture of someone (him?) skydiving over what looked like somewhere in the Caribbean. It was kinda peak 70s music - lots of funk, elements of jazz and bossa tightly woven in, and a floaty, free-spirited island feel. It was just the thing for breaking out of a winter daze!
Favorite song: Face down by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Also I’ve been waiting for a video like this, been really wanting a series two annihape team!
Also got into Radiohead again recently. Thanks for the great content!
Hey Aaron, I made a team on showdown, which I like, but however, I do not have switch to where I can use this team, its a fun and cool team.
QOTD: I don’t really listen to music, so right now my fav music is the Pokemon World Champion theme.
I like the little spin the opposing trainer does at 43:00
QOTD: Americana by The Offspring. I've always liked and identified with 90's-2000's Punk and rock, and that's really the song (and Album) that I listen to just whenever.
I might be the minority, but as much as I like tera, I do miss dynamax in the VGC format.
I miss it too because it gave almost every pokemon a chance to be viable plus the stat increases.
My favourite song atm is Cinderella by SUI UZI and basically everything else they do.
Wait, your Rage Fist stacks remain when you switch out? I assumed you'd lose them much like any stat boost/drops
QOTD: Phoebe Bridgers - Scott Street
Great video!
It's a nice team but honestly it's kinda funny watching you nearly knock out the annihilape and you see the maushold finish off their own annihilape. Which is funny since I saw that happen twice.
Woah. What a great surprise to know you have such good music taste!
Do rage fist stacks persist even if you switch out?? If so that's awesome
Yes they do, its a big reason why Rage Fist is so good (even moreso in singles than VGC/Doubles).
cool wall, I think my favorite song right now is Ancient 5G Aliens by Pipe-Eye, I'm a huge fan of Cook's synthy instrumentals and that entire album is just that
Favorite Artist: Cibo Matto
Favorite song: Birthday Cake
I really like their last album Hotel Valentine.
love the content
Jigsaw Falling Into Place is such a great song. Paranoid Android is my fav Radiohead song overall though.
I haven't done the deep dive into Radiohead yet but I feel that will come in time. I've been really into the European post-punk band "Viagra Boys" lately. Their new album Cave World was one of my favorites last year. However, no doubt in my mind that Canadian Dream Pop band "Alvvays" put out the record of the year last year, with "Blue Rev". My indie-surf band, "Cousin Greg" is putting out some new music soon. One of our songs actually references WolfeyVGC haha.
QotD; Mines definately Garbage - Paranoid. After all these years of listening to it seldomly, it's just still such an amazing song!
QOTD:NIGHT RIDER by Joji being vibing to that lately
My favorite new track right now is “Running Out Of Time” by Paramore, also an older track I think you’ll enjoy is “BLEACH” by BROCKHAMPTON
My favourite song at the moment is Niño gordo flaco by Wos (an Argentinian musician) which is a simple song about just letting a bit of craziness into our lives sometimes
Maybe you can help explain to me this one @cybertronVGC ... why does this team have so many un-used EV's? 4 out of 6 Pokemon have EV's leftover. Is there a point to this, like is it strategic?
Quick question, why would you not use all ev's on the Arcanine and Flutter Mane?
I'm really enjoying "I'll Rust With You" by Steam Powered Giraffe and "Talk It Up" by Sammy Rae & The Friends
QOTD: thick skull-Paramore c:
Brother Aaron
Thnx for ur vids
It's my bday today
And it's already 2 yrs I suppose since I joined ur channel
These couple of yrs were surely a blast
Honestly, favorite song right now is Kingslayer by Bring me the Horizon feat. Baby Metal.
Any idea why Annihilape is not carrying Leftovers here? It's supposed to stay on the field long enough that it gets more recovery from them than from the sitrus berry, shouldn't it?
QOTD: I've been kinda obsessed with the soundtrack from Project Moon's Library of Ruina. Specifically, the song Second Warning. It's such a hype song I could listen to it on loop for hours.
QOTD: Last Dinosaur by the The Pillows. Weeb answer but it’s such a powerful empowering song
QOTD: “it be like that” by Ab-Soul is the soundtrack to my life. Glad my boy Soulo is back
Speed Racer - Her’s their entire album “Songs of Her’s” is really good!
QOTD: smino’s album luv 4 rent has been on repeat for me, really chill album with some nice vocals, beats, rap if you’re into that
It's been awhile since I saw someone put annihilape and maushold in their thumbnail... it's felt like the early scarlet violet day again
Series 2 really giving us some great matches.
For some reason I've been listening Bette DAvis Eyes on repeat these past couple days 'cause I randomly heard it while walking down the street. ._.
QOTD- Hollow Hope - Takamachi Walk. I love this band and this song is absolutely beautiful. Always look forward to a new upload! Thank you for the great content :D
You get a defiant boost, you get a defiant boost, and YOU get a defiant boost.
Fave song/artist atm has to be something by against the current. Just love ‘em
For song recommendations:
Call me what you like by Lovejoy, Rockstar by Boywithuke, and Lost by Linkin Park all came out Friday, and they were all absolute bangers imo. Hope you enjoy!
I was looking for music recommendations just the other day, and these commenters have pretty good tastes!
Ive been listening to a lot of joywave lately. Favorite song right now is obsession
QOTD if your into classic rock, I've been listening to Master of Puppets by Metallica after not listening to them for... nearly 5 years or so lol
I love how the imprison was to deal with hatterene’s trick room but it ended up being the armarogue who tried to trick room 😅
Don't Need You by Genesis Owusu or really anything by him. Also thank you for more Annihilape content I think he is neat :)
qotd: i'm really enjoying pinata by freddie gibbs & madlib at the moment, probably my favourite song from it is 'shame'.
The double movement imprison tho
QOTD: Aqua Regia by Sleep Token
QOTD: There's a recording that Austrian pianist Alfred Brendel made of Schubert's D. 960 Piano Sonata that I am currently very obsessed with.
I hope no one ever takes "rage fisting" out of context.
Great video as always! I'd say for Qotd it would be Stuck on You by Giveon, been listening to it a lot recently
QOTD: My favorite song at the moment is Change (in the house of flies) by Deftones. Even though I grew up listening to Nu Metal I somehow had never listened to Deftones until a couple of months ago. PS: Jigsaw falling into place is my favorite Radiohead song!
Favorite song is definitely King Crimson
4:17 Damn Aaron you could’ve taken me to dinner first…
QOTD: Viagra Boys - Troglodyte
Would be awesome to see you utilize the team Kyle Livinghouse used in the Orlando Regionals! He even tweeted at you asking for this, oddly enough his team too features the mouse family, more mouse videos the better! LOL
Any idea what the correct EV spread for Flutter is since it was missing 20?
I was wondering this as well seems a bit odd to leave out 20 ev
A Clock Without a Craftsman by Lee McKinney. Over time I’ve made out a couple of those albums behind you but the first I noticed was Love is Dead by Chvrches which is an all time favorite of mine.
