Thanks to raging bolt and now farigiraf it has been scientifically proven that elongating a mon's neck improves its competitive viability, I hope meganium gets a new form with an even longer neck so it can finally be viable
Great Neck Meganium will achieve great viability
Tropius and Alolan Exeggutor in shambles
dipplin turning into hydrapple is also a good case
This made me laugh, thanks for this 😂
@@zedruumd2119 Tropius bros, here's how we can still WIN
Tbh its kinda cute that Ursaluna and Farigiraf are an iconic duo considering they're both crossgen evos of Johto mons
theyre girlfriends... to me
Oh yes, the himbo-esque bear/scruffy edgy buff bearman and the funny excentric giraffe
Sounds like the start of a rom com
is this yuri?
@@keysmash_roa ohoho it's magic
Melman and Freddy, name a better pair
"Yeah lemme get uhhhhhhhhh chicken bobingle."
"🤨"
And that is how you know somebody isn’t local, they think that’s a real thing
Bo bingle
Bojangles is a chicken restaurant
i love fridgegiraffe
i love fridgegiraffe
i love fridgegiraffe
I love its base form effarigegdirf
Raging Bolt is jealous of it's giraffe cousin for winning a major tournament
(Raging Bolt Winning Portland)
Bolt won Portland
Tldr: giraffe counters priority, Freddy fazbear can sweep under TR and has ground immunity to thunderclap
I think what’s especially nice is that with say, Cressluna, you are more or less stuck to only using Trick Room, and are in huge trouble if the team you’re up against is great against trick room, but with Freddyraf, they don’t really need Trick Room, as they are both just fast enough to out speed a lot of crucial Pokémon (Urshifu, Ogerpon, Entei, Dragonite, etc) in Tailwind, making it a lot more versatile against a broader range of teams, especially since people are scared to being Tailwind into what could potentially be a Trick Room lead.
This was an excellent, intuitive, and inspiring bruxish review, I cant wait to see a full ladder vid with it.
any bruxlievers out here???
I think another big thing is that Farigaraf didn’t just appear in the top spots, it was relevant. It wasn’t just sight seeing and watching Flutter Mane do the work, it took its place in taking crucial KO’s while still providing insane support. In every match Wolfe was on stream, he brought it, and it appeared in all 3 games of the finals on both sides, and played a vital role for both teams.
It's honestly amazing how far the Girafarig family has come. Going from a general speaking unimpressive and forgettable Pokemon to getting an evolution that has made a name for itself in the competitive world. Johto Pokemon have really come into their own these past few years.
I was snowed in, preventing me from going to Charlotte regionals, AND YOURE TELLING ME I COULD HAVE MET MOXIE BOOSTED AND WOLFIE GLICK?!?!?!!????
Watching Wolfe Glick's Farigaraf was INSANE
As a Certified Farigiraf Freak, I never doubted my boy for a single second
Everytime I hear someone say chientei, all I hear is "Cente" and I picture them both as Vicente Fernandez singing
Video starts at 0:00
Thanks!
NO WAY
W 🗿🍷
Maybe it's just cuz I wasn't expecting it, but starting your video with the Bojangles Chicken BoBingo tangent had me falling off my chair.
As a native North Carolinian, I can say with confidence that the chicken bobingle is the best item on the Bojangles’ menu
Worth noting that it blocks priority without setting up psychic terrain, so your mons can still use priority against your opponent
1:02 - Do not order Bojangle’s pulled pork sandwich. It is the worst thing I ever ate at any fast food restaurant.
Lmao yeah stick to anything of theirs Cajun chicken. Damn now I’m craving some Bo’s
Try Mission BBQ. That’s likely pretty good.
LONG NECK SUPREMACY!!!
Armor Tail Trick Room is literally just Indeedee's niche but now you can use priority and Fake Out next to the giraffe and that's pretty neat
That and also Armor Tail is harder to get rid of than terrain
Love it!! Fantastic to finally see. Difficult to spell and even harder to compete against 😂
Happy to hear Farigiraf beat the “not a giraffe” allegations
Omg farig
When will you do a dedicated Kingambit video? It's consistently making top places in tournaments and iirc you haven't reviewed it yet!
literally just started playing reg f on showdown and keep running into these teams and have been so frustrated thank you for this vid
Charlotte was the first event I ever went to, and I had a blast. I didn't compete, I was just there to cheer on some friends and hang at the venue, but it got me really interested in giving VGC a shot. I'm currently trying to build up my first team to try and play and practice on ladder.
Great vid as always. Can we now expect one about sleep being banned from OU?
I always loved Farigiraf, and I used one in my playthrough. A better Indeedee if no Psyspam.
I’d argue their roles are too different to really compare. Farigaraf deals more damage, is bulkier, and blocks priority on only one side, but Indeedee blocks priority when it leaves the field, can redirect with Follow Me, and is entirely necessary for Psyspam.
As someone who lives in NC I’m glad to hear of other people enjoying the local cuisine
I liked your story at the beginning. It was funny
it's crazy that people still discounted it after it got 2nd at worlds!!!!
We love the CLT airport bojangles in this household
What website are you using to see all the team every player used?
lol why do we have bloodmoon Ursaluna destroying a wild ditto b roll
I got a #17 cheesesteak at Jersey Mike’s. The line was long as hell, but it was 100% worth it. I had a crappy one at Mellow Mushroom and needed another one to redeem it
Should have ordered a chicken farigir-wrap
I always believed in my boy Farigiraf. Glad to see these results.
I am so glad it’s being used. It’s it a crazy fun design that would be so wasted if it were awful.
What I took from this video: Taunt Flutter Mane and Focus Sash Bruxish are the meta calls
Armourtail is a menace of an ability
Nice, good to know, what if in the next video you talk about why fluttermane is still going strong
stats and typing - same reason as always
I don’t think that’s worth a video? It’s not like anything has changed
It’s a really good Pokémon in general, but funny enough, a lot of pros argue it’s a good Pokémon going against anti meta teams more than meta teams.
In day 1, we saw an insane amount of Flutter on stream, but in day 2, most of the players never brought Flutter, even if it absolutely bodied Pokémon like the ever popular Urshifu Single Strike. Because while it’s good, it loses 1v1 to a lot of really common Pokémon, so people use it more to counter more off meta teams that you’re likely to face in day 1. Weaker anti meta like Scream Tail and Galar Moltres or other Pokémon that have a weird niche get bodied by Flutter Mane’s stats and typing.
they had BoJangles at Charlotte airport?! I feel cheated, never found anything like that :/
Ah brother, who gave you the bad Bojangles advice? If you haven't had them yet you should try a Bo-Berry biscuit (if you like Blueberry).
Now we need a sequel for indeedee-F
Indeedee-M
YO SPIDER GANG MENTIONED 🗣️
I've been swearing by Farigiraf for a LONG while and I'm so glad it finally gets recognition
Love the fridge giraffe
Yall hear me out… G-Articuno… Imprison lol this has been sooo hilarious running it on ladder. Soon as I see a trick team, if I have to Tera, I will and click imprison along side Dark urshi
Does anyone know why Psychic over Psychic Noise on the Throat Spray set? Is the 15 BP difference better than triggering Throat Spray?
He triggered throat spray by using hyper voice which is also stab and has more base power. And in the end psychic was picking up ko which I think psychic noice might not archive
There was a couple of mentions of Urshifu single strike becoming more popular recently. Can someone tell me what the reasons for that might be? Is there something in the current metagame that its particularly suited to taking on?
Just breaking psyspam and not being weak to thunderclap is a huge thing
If a strong bolt clicks clap on rapid strike you just get oneshot, so...
Farigiraf is a big reason
Thanks for the replies, chaps. Very helpful.
Iron Crown and Farigiraf.
Also single strike' wicked blow isnt neutralized by Ogerpon Wellspring's follow me+water absorb combo
I feel like Farigaraf in the older gen 9 formats had the issue of becoming a bit of a dead weight mon, now with much more priority on the field, its viability upsurge was quite predictable to me. Wolfe rediscovering the Throat Spray set takes away the dead weight aspect, as we saw in many of his Charlotte sets that alot of damage added up with those hyper voices.
Been telling people for months farigiraf is nice af. Armor Tail is so clutch for vgc
I kind of miss how only the 1st minute of the video us edited these days.
I remember how only 1 video in a while was super edited, but now those videos are super rare :(
Actually I have a full video in the works. Took a break from it to cover DLC content and we just finished up the last moveset guide last week
@@MoxieBoosted Fair enough, in the end I enjoy your content 😁
Have a good day :)
I love farigiraf
He’s a goat, I love using him
Thats a giraffe
choice band bruxish is actually legit.
You have no idea how vindicated I feel. I have been saying that farigiraf is a fantastic trick room setter/denier since regulation A and people laughed at me. Now that we have even stronger trick room sweepers I have only been proven more right. Went undefeated on ladder with it in multiple regulations.
I used it back in regA and i thought the same, armor tail is just broken
why my mans bruxish catching strays? he dont deserve this 😭😭
1 chicken bobingle please
I feel like fargriraf for the most part is not that broken I feel like if you lose to it it’s a skill issue unlike dondoso and tataguri where they become incredibly hard to remove once the opponent finds the right time to fuse them together. The other Mon if you don’t know what you’re doing you will lose to the other mons because it will likely have enough time to trigger trick room. But by itself it’s not that menacing But helping other mons is all you need to be a threat in doubles.
Would tsareena be a good alternative for farigaraf if you got a different trick room setter
No, because grass typing is not helping you against popular priority users like Entei, Incineroar, and Dragonite.
@@Endershock1678 I mean it still atleast has triple axel for Dragonite and better defense stats
Been running tsareena just to surprise people in showdown not reading even in my team sheet that it will null the fake outs because they forget it's the OG armour tail, it's kinda fun to do
@@DanielYuStar_Pachirisu_Feet yeah I've been trying to make it work in double battles with my friends but it keeps missing it's attacks bro 😔
@@DanielYuStar_Pachirisu_Feet
Yeah but it’s slower than Dragonite, so unless you’re running choice scarf, they’ll just OHKO you with Aerial Ace, but then you can’t run wide lens. Dragonite is also the most likely Pokémon to Tera in any given team, so that also doesn’t help.
Haven't really been paying attention since USUM but why would you still be running prankster over something like infiltrator (I'm a big fan of whimsicott) Is it cause most prankster is now more for defensive/ own team utility rather than an offensive semi-staller? (If this sounds super ignorant I'm sorry. I mainly just like to breed cute perfect IV pokemon and screw around with them on battle maison or battle tree.) I've been watching your channel a ton btw. If you want an unbiased view I still find it really fun to listen to you even though I haven't paid attention to the competitive seen in a looong while. Still good fun/value. 10/10.
Basically prankster whimsicott has the fastest tailwind in the game with ue ability to stop tornadus tailwind with taunt. It also can lock things into protect with encore, or use fake tears next to a special attacker to get fast KOs.
Prankster has been it's best ability in vgc since Iraq got access to the ability.
@@MoxieBoosted Thanks, I guess I made the correct voice when breeding my Whimsicott lol. There's just so much priority counter in the game I feel now. But it's hard to keep up with since there's really no one around I know who plays. Breeding pokemon is ORAS is just my comfort game. There's no better feeling than putting together a team of mons you curated yourself. Even if you'll never play with others. And the beach is so relaxing in that game.
You sound so much like blunder omg I almost thought it was the same person
I've been using him since the game came out it was so slept on
Farigiraf is definitely my favorite new pokemon from Gen 9 and IMHO the best denial pokemon currently which is how I have mine set up. Armor tail to deny priority, trick room to deny speed such as tailwind and icy wind, imprison to deny other trick room users for speed control and to deny protect, and last move slot can go to psychic fangs to deny screens or the new move psychic noise to deny healing including out right preventing the use of draining moves which is what I have on my Farigiraf now.
Farigiraf just looks at the enemy team and just tells them "no".
bojangles slaps
A shame Tsareena isn't as competitive... man just copied her homework.
World champ difference.
Its just because incin exists... takeout this pokemon and giraf is gone too.
You dont have to put yourself down if you didnt do good at the event. It was the biggest regional so far, so dont discredit yourself of your team.
Gotta put RESPECT on that giraffe's name
Hot take... Yes, seeing the giraffe formally leaving the "niche" pick...
tseerena walked so farigiraf could run
The true face of Gen 9 VGC. Congrats to Farigiraf for moving the planets to guarrante her sucesss
Just shows what happens when you give a pokemon a meaningfull evolution (right Megas?)
Honestly, even as a fan of mega's, if they have decided that they will never bring them back I wish they would just repurpose them into regular evolutions somehow.
Make up some lore reason where the mega stones somehow mutated or were modified and now act as evolution stones. (For mones that were not already 3 stages or legendaries, of course.)
Girafarig fans, we won
from forgotten gen 2 little guy to competitive champ material. truly an inspiration for us all
Neck gang
What would win, a set of angry legendary mammals who wants to do priority moves, or one goofy giraffe?
Fargaraf set: sitrus berry, cud chew, protect, expanding force, hyper voice, dazzling gleam. Run next to indeedee and you don’t need armor tail.
