[@Eroil]

The fact that this is gen 2 and you didn't immediately mention snorlax makes me assume that he's banned

[@EloBandit]

Oh yeah - Snorlax, Clefable, Zapdos, and all the Gen 2 Ubers - Mew, Mewtwo, Lugia, Ho-oh, and Celebi are banned.

[@EloBandit]

​@ Clefable was banned for the same reason it was removed from ADV 1v1.
Clefable @ Leftovers
- Thunder Wave
- Encore
- Moonlight
- Seismic Toss
Clef can cheese its way through direct counters with yellow magic and 6 turn Encore. Clefairy running the exact same set is C+ Rank on the GSC 1v1 VR due to its worse bulk, but Clefable is arguably S+ rank if allowed.

@@EloBandit doesnt this auto lose to toxic + recovery or all ghost types

[@SMBZYT]

Well, if you toxic turn 1, clef is going to twave you and which you are slower and you will be encored afterwards if you did not attack it and getting slowly broken down by seismic toss. Ghost types can beat it yes, but there so few viable ghost types in GSC.

[@somedude1826]

How many Max Revives does this man have to come back from the dead with quality content this many times?!

[@EloBandit]

Oh look a GSC tour- www.smogon.com/forums/threads/gsc-1v1-startup-signups-100-prize.3693331/ (signups closed)

1:05 Actually there is one mechanics change for berries between GSC and RSE, the PP restoration berry restores 5 in GSC and 10 in RSE.
I haven't watched the rest of the video yet, but this wasn't already noted in the comments so I thought I'd post this.

[@LRXC1]

GSC AND ADV LETS UNITE AND GET INTO PL

[@torterrax002]

Very cool video Elo, even as someone who plays this tier a lot I was still unaware of some sets like mystic gyarados and sub starmie lol. I would recommend everyone to try this tier out, for me it fits a perfect balance between complex and simple. It's simpler than later gens of 1v1 because of no evs and less items, but there's enough viable pokemon and sets that it still is complex and very competitive.

[@abhk5558]

Ye this tier's goated , better than dpp atleast !

[@artiction]

Elo Bandit gonna snatch my time today, what a fine bandit

[@michaelmccloskey8718]

Happy to see new content from you! Always find your 1v1 analysis stellar!

[@wumbology72]

I get 1v1 has some pretty wack sets sometimes but I never thought in my life i would hear curse double edge blissey would be more than a complete meme

[@jabiru7432]

Whens the DPP one dropping?

[@AutumnReel4444]

Psych up Bliss is nasty, well played

[@andreaburatti2812]

I managed to reach top 100 thanks to your tips and in depth explanation. After a long break im back on showdown and i really look forward on meeting you in ladder. Wish you the best from italy!❤

[@mitchgeiger6932]

Ah this is awesome! I'm definitely getting back into 1v1 now.

[@TicyPhenylFanClub]

so elated to see a vid from you

[@abhk5558]

Ye I have finally discovered how fun building for this meta can be !

[@parikshitnobin1671]

HE'S BACK🥺🥺

[@maxwellwilliams1802]

I like the way elo says tyranitar

[@TicyPhenylFanClub]

it's the legend himself

[@ReiDavizin]

Omg youre back

[@doc_1203]

wsg bandit

[@EloBandit]

wsg doc

[@baauumm8223]

Can't watch it now I have homework but I will come back later

[@nutmegdoesstuff1339]

Wait that last one is actually really interesting, if your belly drum fails in gen 2 it still gives you a free swords dance?

[@EloBandit]

Yep! I sometimes see this come into play in gen 2 OU with Belly Drum Marowak and Clefable.

[@potato_cm]

He's not dead

[@rithakc]
