    In this video, I try out a top performing team from the very first Global Challenge featuring a duo that has been quickly rising in popularity: Abomasnow and Iron Bundle! Iron Bundle can easily set up Aurora Veil, enabling attackers like Life Orb Abomasnow and Choice Band Ting Lu to deal massive amounts of damage. The team also features Vivillon, which is used for Friend Guard and Pollen Puff. It's the perfect partner for Ting Lu as it is immune to Earthquake!

    I was once possessed by a spirit and built an Abomasnow and tera-ice body press Ting Lu team. Unfortunately the spirit was not very good at VGC and the team was terrible.

    • @damienmitchell3104

      its one of those that seems super good on paper, but not in execution. body press avalugg does deal monsterous damage tho. if its a physical move he will walk it off. but his special is horrific

    I deduct points for this team for not having one of the more unique patterns on Vivillon. Otherwise its cool! (Someone mentioned Polar pattern to match snow!)

    • @Ston3dge
      @Ston3dge 9 місяців тому

      It wasn't until Reg D that any other pattern was legal in VGC format! I know this from working forever to get a shiny ocean viv w the right tera, IVs, EVs, and moves only to find out he (as well as any other mom-standard pattern) was illegal 😢

    Great video and congrats on sponsorship~ I've been playing around with this for awhile; I run into issues against Iron Moth and the Rock Slide Sand duo (Ttar + Lycanroc). So basically spread moves, as you pointed out. The type weaknesses in this team is also insane. Fire, Fighting, Rock, Bug, Flying, Fairy. Sure you could Tera, but no defensive Tera can salvage SIX weaknesses.. imo.

    Vivillon is so cool, I'm hoping we get another 'mon with similar gimmick to its unique regional patterned wings in the future. It feels like Gamefreak toned that feature down with Oricorio and Alcremie specifically, which is understandable if they want to make every alternate forms available in the game by default.

    Had difficulty sleeping so I started playing some Pokémon and trained myself with some of my teams in unranked. This guy called "Mark" pulls up with THIS exact set. He played really well and I couldn't really counter his Bundle well. The fun thing was that when I went on keep battling online, Mark kept showing up. In the end we fought 3 times but I lost all 3 of them lol. Wherever you are Mark, GGs.

  • @malcanth3481
    @malcanth3481 Рік тому +1

    I think the freeze status condition needs a rework. There are no moves that freeze consistently enough for you to rely on freezing in a battle. When it does happen, it is too powerful.
    I liked the version in Legends Arceus. It was basically burn, but it halved special attack instead. If they did that, they could increase the freeze chance on moves as well as create some moves that are guaranteed freeze. It would also be a nice buff to ice types that don't get enough love.

  • @toallcameone3325

    Snow is one of my favorite archetypes, glad to see it pick up in use. Cetitan is one of my favorites this gen, and this team gives me some ideas on how to build around him

    • @saintxix1309
      @saintxix1309 Рік тому

      I have a half snow team and my Cetitan is Life Orb with Icicle Crash (I run it over Spinner because my team is also half Psy spam and I don't want to destroy my own terrain), Liquidation, Protect and Heavy Slam. Outspeeding a Flutter with Slush Rush and ohkoing it with Heavy Slam brings me great joy.

    omg im in tears (positive), that sitrus chien-pao. OK SO i was feelin a lil goofy with one of my teams. it uses a combo youve featured before, chien-pao and barraskewda. however i was curious how AV would work on chien-pao, since barraskewda had the sash. turns out, with poison tera, some bulk, and AV, its kinda a monster. i went with ice spinner, sucker punch, sacred sword, and psychic fangs. ice spinner for terrain, sucker punch for prio since you arent max speed, sacred sword cause its good and psychic fangs to break thru screens and catch all the other poison teras (and some fighting types) off guard. the one thing of note is you cant use psychic fangs on dark types, such as grim, the most common screen setter, so you run into some issues where you cant actually click psychic fangs to break screens cause they've lead grim/chien-pao (or ting-lu, etc) for example. also since you arent max speed, tailwind support feels nice. anywho back to vid, it was since seeing nonsash chien-pao is all, haha.

  • @SenpaiChriss
    @SenpaiChriss Рік тому

    I don't know how, but me and Calyx were in sync with this Iron Bundle set. A few months ago I made an ice team staring Bundle and Abomasnow. But I too went defensively. I knew his set looked familiar. So I pulled up my team on Showdown and sure nuff. We have the same tera, same item, same moves the only difference is the spread. Which isn't really much different. Timid 68 HP / 4 Def / 148 SpA / 156 SpD / 132 Spe. I do like his spread a little more. Bundle hits harder. I did find my blizzard to be a little lackluster. I retired the team and never used it again, but it's really dope to see something so similar gain such success. That's what Pokemon is all about. I was Paul and Calyx was Ash.
