I can smell what the Boulder is cooking 🔥🔥
the Boulder's gonna end this match, IN A LANDSLIDE
@@Hypercane_ The Boulder feels conflicted about fighting a young grass type masked girl!
@@NightSkyNyx Sounds to me like you're scared, Boulder!
It's cooking Terrakion's competitive Career.
@@XC11301991Iron Boulder is over his conflicted feelings
It's not a Boulder... it's a rock!
Quick reminder that Primarina has Liquid Voice and that makes sound moves Water type so both Psychic Noise and Alluring Voice can be used as Water type moves. That also makes Hyper Voice Water type. So when trying to account for sound moves that might hit past a Substitute these moves could still hit and catch you off guard. Even with your high Special Defense you can't take to many hits from these moves.
Mighty cleave is what Urshifu shoulve had, a move that ignores protect, not the ability that makes EVERYTHING safe por protects
Unseen First only lets contact moves bypass Protect so a move like Rock Slide will fail and not work. So it's not everything but all the moves you normally run are contact.
Boulder is Urshifu but balanced. The ability to hit through protect, but only on one move, and not through screens, sash, intimidates, or defense boosts.
Is dadunsparce a joke to you lol
@@odowney80 I mean, objectively, it is a joke,
Damn, mighty cleave is such a strong move, thank god there isn’t a whole legendary pokemon whose gimmick is hitting through protect.
I really like Iron Crown and Boulder. Leaves just feels like it lost out the most in comparison.
Fr, the paradox swords seem overall considerably worse than the beast/dragon/dinosaurs, but at least Boulder and crown are solid enough to have definite use cases. Leaves has a bad typing and better alternatives: if you want a physical grass type use rillaboom, Metagross for a physical psychic type.
Or just put psyshock on your flutter mane
It's so dumb that Iron Leaves got a signature Psychic move when an upgraded RAZOR LEAF was right there as a concept.
@@EinSilverRose More like a tweaked Leaf Blade. But it also doesn’t help that, when compared to Walking Wake, Hydro Steam gets a 50% boost in Sun and Rain, while Psyblade only gets 50% in Electric Terrain with 30% in Psychic Terrain.
@turtlenator6249 it also doesn't help that it's typing is absolute garbage. x4 weak to U Turn literally the most used attack in meta... like why??? Couldve literally been Electric/Grass or something smhhh
@@turtlenator6249 Blame the tapus for that one
The boulder feels conflicted about fighting a little electric rat
The boulder is over his conflicted feelings
Anyone else thinks that Terrakion looks WAY better as a robot than a regular creature? Something about its regular form always felt.....off to me. (mainly with its face)
Same. He just doesn’t work that well in 3D.
Yeah. Is curious, but Terraikion looks goofy in 3D, while that Goofiness doesnt shows in Iron Boulder
I guess robots are just that cool. There is a reason Violet is the most popular version😂
Yeah... its weirdly human face was very uncanny valley. Without the face, it's great
Its face is also a bit flat on the model. Cleave's face actually sticks out and curves.
No lol. Robot form just doesn’t have the human face but if the original form wasn’t like that, it’d be way better
If I had a nickel for every time Pokémon released a legendary in a DLC that can go through protect, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's strange it happened twice
Goated reference
The Boulder is conflicted about fighting a young, blind girl!
I love Iron Bob the Builder so much. He can hit through protect and seems like he will be broken in vgc.
Yup, and I say that VGC's a bit broken, some of it by that Protect-ignoring Urshifu. So, can Bob fix it? Well, no, he'll probably just add to the problem since he does the same thing but slightly less lol
The pioneers are gonna have a field day with this guy.
Also this guy isnjust urshifu rock
Thanks for the video covering Irom Boulder!
I do agree with the options and support you mentioned for Boulder to work. Funnily enough, this is the one mon that I tried with Smeargle. Having both Fake Out and Redirection almost ensures a Swords Dance set up for it. And just pray it snowballs there with 2 or more KOs.
The only problem about Boulder is that he just loses to stringy cheese man😭
Ik mighty cleave is really dumb, but a rock type this fast without Rock Slide is so sad, it'd be a decent partner with like torn pao as a fast rock slide flinch mon in tailwind.
Hmm sucker punch looking very nice
Surging strikes go brr
Its like your stuck between a boulder and a hard place
Oh yeah, the most underrrated of the paradox mons. Well, hopefully will see great results
Also I love how his horns just transform into a giant ram 😂
I'm obsessed with your trainer card
The Boulder is conflicted about doing battle against small children.
b-b-b-b-but it doesnt Attack-ion-you twice 😢
Ok so I know this is bad, but here’s my crazy mode. We still mainly invest in speed so it will speed boost then the rest between Attack/ HP. Our item is the weakness policy and we pair it with a (self) sucker punching pincurchin. I typically ran ghost Tera because it stops fake out, but still works with weakness policy sucker punch from pincurchin.
I like the idea of leading boulder and corviknight with mirror armor to desuade any intimidating and then you come in with boulder and start SMACKING things through protect
for the last set instead of quick attack id prolly run tera blast seems like a good emergency option for a weird tera
One thing I like about Indigo Disk is that some of the new moves are “existing move but for [type]”, you mentioned rock type’s lack of 100 accuracy physical moves, this “type swapped move” idea can provide that, rock type Close Combat or rock type Leaf Blade
Also because Electric has a lack of strong physical attacks then it could also benefit from this “type swapped move” so that they get 100+ power move who’s drawback isn’t recoil when the move fails to connect (or attack debuff if they are given “electric type Superpower”)
Besides “Rock physical needs better accuracy” and “Electric physical needs stronger attacks”, I am unsure what other types have major glaring issues in their existing move library
Single target special water move with good distribution and accuracy: hyrdropump misses, used to be scald but they limited the distribution (good thing imo), water pledge and sparkling aria are very limited.
Poltergeist fixed the no good physical ghost move issue
Strong, accurate special flying move is probably the main one besides the two you mentioned that is a real issue.
Outrage is unreliable and thanks to power creep Dragon Claw and Dragon Pulse fall a bit short for moves who rarely hit anything for super effective damage.
Draco Meteor is still really good but not everything wants to run a move with such a harsh drawback.
Special flying type attacks needs to be more acurate, having to relay on 70% acurate hurrucanes, on weak Air Slash that are not even 100% acurate, but 95% or have to set Up the terrain in order for hurricane to be 100% acurate is not cool
Physical fairy has literally 1 move unless you’re grimsnarl
@@MacZephyrZdragon claw should’ve always had high crit rate tbh
Not going to lie. Getting pretty tired of Gamefreak just adding faster and harder hitting mons each gen.
I feel like a huge part of why power creep feels so rediculous this gen is booster energy. Some pokemon are able to hit rediculous speeds with it for no real downside, further amplifying their already crazy stats.
I’d like to see big weld become meta
IRON BOULDER SHOULDER 🔥🔥🥶🥶
I feel like Iron Boulder was the silliest of the names, but it's easily my favorite of the three future Paradox's. I really hope it does well competitively
It’s already dominating singles. Remains to be seen how it will do in VGC. Personally I think it has potential.
Iron leaves is the dumbest name by far
Iron boulder is dumb but at least makes sense for being fast, the fact that it can’t retract its legs and roll like a literal boulder is super dumb though
I still think that if something is gonna consider using stellar tera then you have to also work tera blast in there
Obviously lowering your attack stats can be not so good, but tera blast has the versatility to justify it alongside fine power. If it's something that hates getting tera'd against, then stellar tera blast is just what you need.
will u make a buffing gen 3 pokemon vid?
Was thinking of running a max attack boulder with a speed boost and evs spread between both defences running the two basic moves and then protect and substitute, thoughts?
lokix stocks going up with this one
Hey Moxie, when you ev your pokemon defensively, what kind of attacks do you try to ev for? Do you ev to live specific hits or do you try to minimize your chances to get ohko'd by most meta attacks? I'm still new to putting evs that aren't "252 atk, 252 speed" on a pokemon and calling it a day and I'd like to get better because the specific ev values make getting into the competitive aspect of pokemon difficult for me, I've been keeping up with comp pokemon for a few gens now and this gen was when I finally decided to give it a try for real instead of just breeding for good ivs on my shiny pokemon, hoping to get into it one day.
I dont know about him but i ev for either a surging strikes from urshifu, a choice specs moonblast or shadow ball from tera fairy or ghost fluttermane, and the how much of a chunk i can take out of a dondozo or iron hands and thats where i start but generally you just look at the meta mons who hit the hardest and see if it can live the hit or if it needs assistance like assault vest or light screen/ reflect/ aurora veil
Iron boulder sound great, but i feel like urshifu out edges it with all of its attacking move hitting thru protect instead of a single move
Hoping to get some good plays with boulder in reg F singles
I think there's a reason most physical Rock moves aren't that reliable...
Iron Boulder: Living up to its ancestor’s reputation as the best of the Swords of Justice.
Great vid! Could you run CC over Sacred Sword?
The boulder feels conflicted about attacking a young untera’d Brian Hands
*Teras
The boulder’s over his conflicted feelings and now he’s ready to bury you in a might cleave
Bro who threw a boulder on my stove!?!?
Yeah but it doesn't get rock slide
I’ll have to try em out he’s so deceptively fast!! 😂😂😮😮
Mighty cleave seems soooo good
THE BOULDER approves of this message.
Omg you should try to make smeargle good!
Which us better choice Scarf landorus or intimate incineroar
Now if only I could get my hands on the scarlet exclusives.
I honestly don’t hate fighting Tera for the defensive options + sacred sword. Resist dark, bug, rock
Is tera ground with earthquake a viable set in singles? I made mine be that tera with eq, mighty cleave, close combat and zen headbutt.
Boulder pretty much always offensively teras. It just depends on what you want to hit harder or if you want a weird Tera Blast for surprise coverage.
I've been running this guy with Suicune and Eviolite Magmar and been having a good time
Interesting! Paste?
The moment I saw Iron Boulder, I knew he would be the best of the 3
I kinda hope these 4 extra paradox pokemon will have their own terra events. We’ve seen other normal paradox be events and wake/leaves were also events so hopefully these 4 will get events so people can get the other game versions
Droids of Justice
loved the comment about rock not resisting bug, it's 2023 and i still have to tell people tyranitar is indeed weak to bug
THE BOULDER!! IS TRIUMPHANT!
the swords of justice have the mitical kledeo and in s/v they are handeld the same as the legendary beast's so i predict that the legendary beast are getting a new mitical member in the near future. maybe even a paradox for keldeo and the new legendary beast.
and a unrelated queston. are the paradox mons of the legendary beast's and the swords of justice considerd legendary or paradox mons?
I know this is a niche request and I don't know if you'll even see this, but I wouldn't mind an Alcremie guide personally
What a nice young man
Mighty cleave might just be my fav animation in the game
Video starts at 0:00
I didn't realize that my bad
Thank you good sir
One thing to nerf Mighty Cleave is to remove the "bypass protect" part. The move Feint is 30 base power and basically does the same thing.
Of course we're serious in here
I think he's gonna be great with Clear ammy.
Iron Round-Man
oh my god ur iron boulder's name is a reference to That twitter thread
"Fastest Mario"
How about Iron Boulder on a sandstorm team?
I made iron crown work with room service but that’s cause I wanted to see if that works since room service is usually never used at ALL 😂
How'd you do it?
@@thedashey Just used trick room and gave it a quiet nature and put no speed investment and then trick room and room service do the rest and I can still use expanding force but put more into bulk
God King Boulder Shoulders
Iron Boulder is kinda like Urshifu if he wasn’t able to swim
Boulder shoulders is broken because it has an strong and accurate rock move
I can’t understand how a fighting rock turns psychic
You know it's crazy when The Boulder kos an Iron hands.
Ok so first no 100% acc. physical rock move and now 2 one with high crit chance and another that ignores protect
Wait substitute prevents intimidate?
Besides Mighty Cleave and Rock-type Ivy Cudgel, the only other Physical Rock moves with 100% accuracy are Accelerock Salt Cure, and Smack Down. Accelerock and Salt Cure are exclusive to certain Pokémon, and no one is going to run Smack Down, outside of some weird gimmick.
@@SuperDanMan11100 salt cure was neat i forgor but thats more like a cheaping move than a damage move
iron boulder deploys the rock argument
But do you know why they called it mighty cleave? It’s because it attachyon you once 😂
Since I heavily doubt you’ll be covering them, what do you feel like is the main thing holding Iron Leaves back, and how would you realistically go about fixing it? It’s clear that it’s the weakest out of all of them, but considering they all share the part-Psychic type and the same 590 BST, I’m admittedly not aware of what makes it so much worse.
Grass isn't the best offensive typing, with most of OU resisting it. It also as a much weaker move pool despite having the best offensive stats. Its signature move, psyblade is initially the weakest with 80 base power and without any good electric setters, a common problem with the Quark Drive pokemon. It is a good partner to indeedee with psychic terrain, which also boosts psyblade to 120, but there are just too many steel, dark, and even ghost type pokemon dominating the tier for the strategy to be relevant. Iron Crown and Iron Boulder's steel and rock typing are much better offensively and Iron Crown has a good movepool to be able to utilize terralization effectively, something Iron Leaves cannot.
It isn’t terrible, but you would never use it over Rillaboom or Amoongus.
He is truly a *W I D E* bull
Is the only thing keeping iron bundle from getting as much innovation as flutter mane the accuracy of its strongest move?
Hydro miss seems like it’s the only reason bundle doesn’t get all the innovation on spreads and max hp/def
Mane is also inmune to fake out without using tera, that is big
He’s just the new urshifu tbh
I really wanna take this mon to a regional or Leaves call me crazy
Terrakion in Gen 5 OU and Iron Boulder in Gen 9 OU...
I see not difference. Choice Band 252+ go brrrr
anyone know how i can submit teams to him? Got a banger I want to show him
Letting duraludon boost up then one shotting it with sacred is hilarious
Who decided this thing needs 124 speed
How does Mighty Cleave work against Burning Bulwark? Does the burn still happen?
From what I have seen, Mighty Cleave ignores any protection moves like Burning Bulwark as well as any secondary effects those moves might have.
@@SuperDanMan11100 this is good to know
What's it gonna take for them to stop making threats to the meta? I'm starting to think they're doing this on purpose.
Rock-shifu
THE BOULDER'S GONNA WIN THIS IN A LANDSLIDE
Did you forget mighty cleave bypasses protect in the showcase? You acted like protect on the wake was kind of an issue when you couldve just cleaved it out of existence anyway.
No I just prioritized the iron hands cause it's the bigger threat and acknowledged that the protect makes the turn free
Did I hear correctly, I heard registeel teams with set up.
Iron defense body press
Why Sacret Sword over Close Combat?
If I had a nickel for every time a gen nine signature moves broke through protect I’d have 2 nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
What’s the second one?
Hyper Drill! Happy Dundunsparce noises
@@shirshobanerjee7751its Hyperdrill. You know, Dudunsparce's signature move
This just means urshifu stocks are up
Heh Dwayne Jetson
I know that you know that I know that I'm subscribed
Things I know as facts even though I know they're wrong:
Rock resists Bug
Bug is weak to Ice
Bug is weak to Psychic
Ice is weak to Ground
The bug ones are thanks to gen 1 and me being a dumb kid, but it doesn't want to leave me. Gen 1 f*cked me up with effectivenesses in general for a while thanks to how it decided to show which message (which was like right only about 70% of the time even though the damage calc was right 😅)
The ice ground one is thanks to me thinking both are SE to each other, but idk where I got that from. Same with rock bug, guess it just feels like it should. As long as you ignore that ants can go through concrete albeit slowly :P
Nintendo certainly has a favorite child, and it’s certainly not virizion
"let's make a 'mon that needs electric terrain to do something, what could possibly go wrong? We put pincurchin in the game so they have access to that" -Gamefreak, probably
@@Marco-fs9bsI wish we have the Tapus so Tapu Koko is around
@@nickalex4235 they probably decided to not reintroduce him because of miraidon
And they're probably right, if I had to decide between an Uber that could setup electric terrain with his ability and a minor legendary that could do the same thing without taking the slot of the Uber, I would have definitely use koko
