- In this video, I try out a team featuring STONJOURNER! Stonjourner is a unique pick that can boost the damage output of its teammates thanks to its ability, Power Spot. The games got wild real quick...

Check my sub box and I find out Aarons using my team. Im sure you get this a lot but your channel was a big reason why I got into VGC back in 2015 so this is pretty surreal to me 😅
Watching you pilot the six was super interesting. And your insight on the team, like how it felt more volatile in closed sheet formats, was stuff I didn’t even realize but tooootally makes sense looking back on it. Real glad you’re rockin with stonjourner bro!
I just tried your team, and it's incredibly good. Went from zero to hero in my VGC matches, haha
so inspirational love your channel especially your stakataka guide
Rock slide: Misses 3 times
Aaron the following night: *Has nightmares of washing machines*
PTSD: Triggered
Aaron saying "go off king" to stonejourner after it got that low kick knockout sent me to my grave, it caught me so off guard LOL
RIGHT? I was like ooooookaaaay 🥴🥴
He didn't say it to stonejourner. He said it to kingambit, hence the "king".
@@andygeo7203 not you gatekeeping Aaron's commetary, please 😭
@@iAdriann
I still think the "king" was Stoney, and not the coincidental Kingambit.
"they heat wave but they miss! JUSTICE!" cracked me up , that match was incredible
A Rotomian performance from Stonjourner in game 2, truly inspirational stuff
I never played competitive before, but after watching a lot of your videos I decided to try it out.
I have reached Masterball rank with this team only, going 22-6 in total!!
Thanks to Wacka for creating the team and to you Cybertron for sharing it and the awesome content you have been producing!!
Stonjourner is such a powerhouse!!!! Power spot is so overlooked sometimes! Great stuff Aaron!
Just finished game 1… LOL what a slaughter
Duuuude I was so hyped to play you! I was so thrown off guard by low kick into my kingambit though, I definitely want that rematch now😂😂😂 worked hard making this team over the past couple months so super dope to see if get onto your CZcams channel
That 1/4 rock slide in Game 2 was so demoralizing lol. Nice job working out of that position👍Great video
Made victory all the sweeter
Hey Aaron, just wanted to say thank you. I’ve played Pokémon and followed VGC for years, but had never been to a tournament until OCIC this weekend. I went along and used a team you featured on your channel a while back, and managed to finish with a positive record of 5-4, which was beyond anything I expected. I was absolutely over the moon with that, and I reckon I’ve learnt most of what I know from your channel, so thank you.
1 hour of Stonjourner putting in work. Epic.
QOTD: I think Avalugg getting an ability like Stonjourner's could be pretty cool. Maybe give the partner Pokemon an effective +1 stage of defense as long as it's on the field. Kinda like how ice types get a defense boost in Snow, but only for Avalugg's partner Pokemon.
Stonjourner had such a glow up from meme players cup pick to viable tournament top cutter
Firm Handshakes, man. I’ve been struggling for weeks trying to make Masterball rank, I swapped in this Stonjourner and I won 5 in a row to finally break through. Thanks for the help!
Double rock slide miss was definitely Aaron's Joker moment
That endgame with Sylveon was nuts. Good plays on both sides kept me doubting who was gonna win at the very end.
That evil laugh when stonejourner hits the lowkick 😂😂
That game 4 was soooo good. Makes you realize why vgc is so interesting
I’m convinced Aaron is cursed I have seen so many tough misses on this channel
We need a compilation!! Like a few vids back of that play rough miss on the very last turn of the game 😂 dang imagine such a low % chance to lose and getting it
QOTD: I think it would be fun to give Grimer something along the lines of Gooey - but for both of your mons
I may be biased, because Grimer is the most adorable mon ^^
Thank you for the Stonjourner hightlight, I didn't realize it was basically the opposite of Flutter Mane, which is insanely bulky on the special side naturally - because that bulk on the physical side on Stonjourner is impressive
I think Stonjourner does really well when paired with fast, offensive and self sufficient pokemon, Flutter Mane being a great example, but Iron Bundle, Roaring Moon and Gholdengo sound great too. Maybe if you have screen support from Grimmsnarl you could have defensive support as well in addition to Stonjourner's more offensive support to help balance out the faster but frailer pokemon.
Stonjourner might have a potential (power) spot in this current metagame.
I also think Salazzle with Nasty Plot and Heat Wave/Sludge Wave can pair well with Stonjourner. Wide Guard to protect her while she plots, then Power Spot ups the spread to incredible levels!
Ok, time for another tutorial! Let’s go 😃
EDIT: As for the QOTD, I think giving something like Spiritomb a new ability which activates Trick Room when it gets KO’d might be a cool way to set it up. It might be super broken, but that has never stopped the devs before so 🤷🏽♂️
I'm happy to see the funny rock guy is actually usable in VGC. I really love to see teams with uncommon pokemon or a niche strategy that works pretty well
I’ve watched every single scarlet and violet vid you’ve posted!
Same! I get so sad when he goes a day without uploading 😢😫 they’re always so in depth, I love learning from how he plays. His videos have such a chill vibe tkk
I don't care what anyone says, Stonjourner is a threat. Boosts your ally's attacks, High physical atk itself, eats physical hits, and has ok support moves like Wide Guard and Imprison.
Also weirdly quick for a pile of rocks

Fantastic comeback in game 2!! Really loved your reaction to those rock slide misses
I tried putting Stonejourner on a team during the beginning of season 1 and failed miserably. It’s so cool to see someone succeeding with this mon
got some real historic cybertron accuracy luck in this video haha good job as always
Looooved this episode!!! Such amazing battles and such a nice team!
The laugh when you miss the rock slide is the sound of a man slowly coming to terms with insanity.
Stone… Salt guy… I love that piles of rock are so strong in pokemon
that "stony stony stony" exclamation in game 3 made me laugh out loud for a second haha
I went 10-4 and hit Masterball with this team! First time in VGC! As a singles player, i never thought I would make masterball in VGC. So happy. Thanks so much!
truly love this channel, I like the way people battle and commend about what they do each turn they go :D
Keep up those amazing vids! 🙌🏼 the best player showing off teams in Pokémon! 👌🏼 So many hidden gems shown in your channel.. it’s mind blowing, cause only a knowledgeable person in Pokémon could do it!
Rock slide giveth, and rock slide taketh away, eh? XD Awesome video as always!
Ayeee love your videos! I wanna say as a barber your best haircut was that taper fade you had for the SD regionals lol 😝 sorry since it’s my job it’s all I notice but like i said I absolutely love the sv content!!!
The last 2 games were crazy!! Keep it up man; love your videos
Amazing end of game 4, that had me sweating too. Testament to your skill and knowledge!
Love that stonjourner is finally getting some love.
Awesome video Cybertron. It's funny, as soon as I was done watching this video I went online I fought this exact same thing. Thanks to your video here I knew the moveset and was able to defeat my opponent. Keep up the great work!!! You, Wolfey and Jeans have helped me get much better at the game. I hope you compete at one of these tournaments sometime in the future. We all will be rooting for you. It would be nice to see you win another championship just like your boy Wolfey.
give arboliva power spot! That tree is hard to kill but could use a little more offensive pressure. Would be a nice lead with most strong attackers
Hey Aaron, just got to Master Rank this week for my Lechonk to get the ribbon, thanks for the inside scoop on some of the teams I faced that you showcased ;)
18:33 😂😂😂😂
I’m sorry but your reaction there was so funny 😂😂😂😂
Sylveon is goated. I made a 1v4 comeback myself in SWSH (other player wasn’t that great) w a Sylveon, and since then it’s been one of my favorites. Great vid as always 👍🏻
Amazing analysis as always
Bro that game 4 ending was so intense!
Mannnn, thank you! I've been running Journer for a few weeks now but with Hard Stone, and Endure over Low Kick but that's actually genius. I'm not brave enough to take Sash off my Mane though, dope video.
I felt that double miss on the rock slide :( :p
Been watching for a long time, but just started playubg VGC myself. This team got me to masters!
QOTD: It would be reasonable to think that Power spot would be the ability of some Pokémon that exude an awesome power without actually being that great in the game. Spiritomb is the most obvious answer to this question, but the original three Regis, Golurk, Beheeyem, Claydol, Solrock and Lunatone also fit the bill for the ability or something similar.
Something I was thinking about and would like some feedback. I'm thinking about building a mudsdale team with stamina as the ability. Here's my ideas.
Set up trick room ( probably indeedee/armourgue. Figure out a way to proc stamina with something like bullet seed, population bomb etc.
Mudsdale: tera steel
Assault vest
High horsepower
Body press
Heavy slam
(Unsure)
Any input would be appreciated.
First off I love how all the pokemon on the team are just a type of Rock lol for their nickname!
QOTD: Rabsca would be an interesting one to give a similar ability to, as it already has like a glowing power and the ball it has seems pretty mysterious as there are two different entries theorizing what's inside
I always wait for your videos to learn
I love that Stonjourner is named I Am A Rock
I love stonjourner i remember trying him out in gen8 ou singles. It was Hard making him work there but it was fun.
Stonjourner,,,,my beloved
so cute. so shaped
Woah! What a comeback!
i think defensive and offensive mouseholds would be cool to see with power spot/friend guard. also love ur content
Most of the plays were on point, but against that Sylveon in the last game, the correct move was Iron Hands instead of Stonjourner while the Taunt was active. Fake Out into Dazzling/Shadow, then next turn double up.
Go off king is what I actually say every time I watch your videos. TEACH THE CHILDREN!
What a strong start!
I saw Stonejourner and never clicked so fast.
QOTD: Drifblim getting something like power spot would be kinda interesting
The swaggy unusual Mons comp.
I like Stonjourner now.
I obviously can't play as well as You. But this team is so fun I stopped playing the amazing TR team You presented and I modified and I only dropped from low 1600 to high 1400s. Mane+Stonjourner is actually an amazing opening, I bring it most of the time, with arma+deedee in the back unless they have palafin, dondozo or something like that. Wide guard is amazing, even in OTS few ever consider me clicking it lol.
My biggest issue: can't bring mane+stonjourner with armadeedee and another mon. And Arma without deedee seems lackluster. And I'm considering dropping TR off Arma for a grass type attack, gastro usually warrants bringing Bonnet especially for it which is suboptimal. Hands doesn't hit strong enough into it, its special defense is good enough armadeedee doesn't entirely solve it.
Here is one battle I really like, my opponent played me however they wanted for the first 3 turns. Then I decided to position myself better and sweep off that. I misplayed second to last turn, but I think that wouldn't matter as kingambit usually runs only brick break or low kick. Ft. clutch wakeup after 2 turns of sleep

Aaron after 3 rock slide misses : All I can do is laugh it off
Me after 3 rock slide misses: -throws switch on the floor and stomps it out-
Rockslide is Aaron’s new Will-o-wisp😂
It is pretty amazing that you made a comeback in game 2 without any good RNG.
It would be cool to see a pokemon with an ability that essentially sets gravity so we can stop missing hydro pumps and rock slides. I don’t like the thought of wide lens eating an item slot to make a pokemon viable 🙃
Game 4 endgame was soooo good
That last game was sick
QOTD: In terms of the canon and lore, I think either Arboliva, Comfey, or Audino could be interesting. They all have a calm/soothing presence or healing abilities, so perhaps they could boost a defensive stat by around 1.2x or 1.3x. They could lower the offensive stats of the enemy pokemon across from them, though that just feels like one of the ruin abilities.
that rock slide miss in the second game hurt me
i like the brute bonnet being carti
We are not talking enough about the poetic nicknames of this team
QOTD: Frosmoth would be cool. Change ice scales from taking 1/2 damage itself to it and it's partner take 3/4
that miss reminds me of will-o-miss LOL!
That first battle was a bloodbath 😅😂
Mah boi getting some shine :')
Bruh the double rock slide miss 😭😭😭
People really sleep on calm mind Sylveon. Mine is almost the same, but I run draining kiss for a single target and recovery instead of tera blast and leftovers, with fairy tera and life orb to maximize damage output. There's no coverage and no defensive tera, but If you can position it right, it's basically unstoppable.
I jus used this team and went 9-1, this is an all around great team.
I'm glad you won a game
Looking back at that last game, would you play anything differently if you could?
Aaron evil laugh at game 3 was só good..
Hello Aaron
Long time follower and religious watcher, truly enjoy your content.
Just a question, why don't you stream your daily VGC sessions on twitch ? As you play these games anyway to record for youtube, wouldn't it be good to have the whole session streamed at the same time as it is being recorded so that fans get to watch live and you also get to grow your twitch channel with an activity you already have a habit of ?
the carti reference lol
Oh man Stonejourner, such a cool and underlooked pokemon! Btw will you go over the Oceania winning team sometime?
Btw I sent my team in Twitter, hope you see it and hopefully check it out (:
Might be random, but I think Espeon should get a special attack intimidate. That Pokémon is so beautiful and criminally underused (because it’s not good haha.) that and it should get expanding force
Hey try after you mycilium might spore and after you trick room is also cool
I can picture Aaron getting pretty buff at some point irl.
"Justice!" Lol
Double rockslide miss - *joker laughs*
Live and die by the Rock Slide
I wanna see a trick room team that features Hypno and Crabominable , no one uses these mons 😭
"we have Chi-yu at home"
And QOTD
Power Veil: Boost allys Evasion by 30%
oh god no lol, that sounds oppressive to play against lol
@@insomniaccity Why not the meta already have “oppressive” abilities like sword of ruin … besides there are always ways to play around with certain moves that always hit like kowtow Kleavor or aerial ace and abilities. Don’t be a wuss I thought competitive Pokémon players were fun 😜😂
Besides only one Pokémon would get it maybe a mythical the same way Victini gets Victory Star. 🤷🏾♂️
@@obibraxton2232 be honest, to make it fair youd have to put that on some 350 bst pokemon that cant evolve, and not a mythical 😂
Never give up
now I want to see a team featuring the Sylveon of the last game 💖🎀
I think that's the first time I've seen a double rock slide miss
Dang I don’t even remember Stone J being in SV lol
