    Another thing that made Regigigas from trash to broken is that it finally got access to Protect after nearly 15 years so it can more reliably stall its Slow Start

    • @remysmets
      @remysmets Před 9 měsíci +227

      Stalling the slow start is not really an option in vgc because the opponent can just focus down the regigigas’s opponent when regi protects and attack regi the turn after it protects. But Protect is still nice because of its importance in doubles in general.

      @infinitesheldon5710 Před 9 měsíci +5

      I've been doing this with a Slaking team, it's been a lot of fun. It's especially great if you're able to doodle an Intimidate, since it gives Intimidate to both Grafaiai and Slaking, triggering it twice and dropping the opponent's attack stats by 2 stages. Turn 1 I typically Bulk Up with Slaking and Taunt with Grafaiai, then turn 2 I Doodle with Grafaiai and start hammering away with Slaking's Drain Punches or Body Slams.

      This will be notable for gen 9 in that you can turn off the abilities of the ruin quartet, but you can't turn off paradox pokemon since they use the booster energy item.

    They became solid HO monsters under Tailwind since they got Sheer Force in Gen 5, but then the speed standards kept getting higher and higher since then, to the point that anything under 110 Spe is unusable nowadays unless you got bulk or less then 50 Spe for Trick Room, and thus you don’t see them much anymore (and that’s without mentioning restricted formats).

    Great video! Random thought, but it feels weird seeing Durant with Pelipper and Drifblim in a discussion about viability. Durant was never actually bad and could do something on occasion, very much unlike the other two; it was just very outclassed. Likewise, the main two bugs that shot it into the stratosphere in terms of viability were an indirect buff with Dynamax and a metagame which not only did not have mons directly outclassing its role, but also had few fire types outside of Arcanine

    Neutralising gas can easily back fire on slow start, because even if slow start has taken a turn or two as soon as weezing comes in that’s gone and as soon as it goes it starts at 5 again, not to mention if an intimate hits and then weezing, as soon as weezing goes the intimate hits again without the opponent ever needing to switch, even worse, if its intrepid sword activates first, and then weezing hits the field, and then it dies, intrepid sword will activate again, if people think +1 Zacian is scary, imagine a +2, it’s not even that rare unless you always lead with weezing
