- Archaludon is finally here! Introduced in the The Indigo Disk DLC, this Pokemon is a defensive beast thanks to its great base stats and ability. Arcahludon can also quickly stack up its Special Attack with Electro Shot in the Rain, makin Pelipper the perfect partner for it. This Pokemon can tank multiple attacks while dealing massive amounts of damage!

Thank you so much for using the team, I’m glad you decided to use it!! It feels unreal that someone I’ve looked up to for such a long time is playing with pokemon I used, it means a lot as a relatively new player. Here’s to hoping I can build more feature-worthy teams in the future!
Sick team
Hey man, awesome team and congrats on your results at the regional. Just wondering, is Heavy Slam exclusively for Flutter?
Archaludon has been on a diet and is light as hell, Flash Cannon would do more damage in almost every situation. But FM has terrible Def and amazing Sp. Def so I figured that must be reasoning?
@@OpinionatedAussie Yup! With flutter being as insanely common as it is and there not being a ton of other fairy types running around (at least not nearly as much as flutter), your steel move on arch really only needs to deal with flutter mane, and being able to OHKO it is very important when flutter outspeeds and can 2hko back depending on its spread/item!
@@LookItUp thanks for the reply, makes a lot of sense! I'm trying to wrap my head around finer details of team building and understanding the reasoning behind niche moves and EV spreads really helps 😁
@LookItUp Glad too see one of your teams being covered, I always enjoy seeing what your cooking up each regulation.
. . . Even if I always end up using a meme team like swift swim hypnosis feebas.
That thumbnail Pelipper got new ability named "Dripzzle"
Pelipper has Drizz lmao
Gg
@@seanjackson5089that's his hidden ability
That 1HP clutch was crazy !! Even with the small EV put into Archaludon, that stamina really saves you lol
Dude PLEASE keep uploading like this!! Theyve helped me so much and the way you explains things has been helping me big time with this new Reg. Love the content!!!
Hi Aaron!
I had the Dozo team in game 6 and was freaking out when I saw I was matched up against you. I recently got into VGC this generation due to the CZcams algorithm recommending you and other beastcoast members. Your VGC content, tournament commentating, and the times we get to see you compete are the best out there.
I was prepared for the icy wind to miss or not be enough😅 (timid Tatsu). I had banded Urshifu and should have locked sucker punch at the end there. Thank you for the great content and it was so cool to battle you!
QOTD: the best part was imo all the trainer battles being doubles focused, simply because it was way overdue at this point
Yes! My only wish was that we actually had to battle the trainers in the terrarium outside the elite four to rise up the ranks before we can actually take on their elite trial. I think it would have been a great way to show a lot of players who are not used to playing doubles all sorts of strategies they can do with two Pokémon active at once.
@@tkjjokey same, imo it all was over way too quick
I made a rain team recently with Peliper, Archaludon, and Rapid Strike Urshifu and had great fun with it. I also added Walking Wake to cover for Sunny Day, and Milotic since I see Incineroar in most games. Peliper/Archaludon is just a really fun combo and I quickly realized just how strong and oppressive it is.
I used a similar core of 4 for this (manual rain torn is slower than whimsi so I leaned into this for weather war) and instead of Milo I used Grass-Ogerpon with Superpower that is EVd to guarantee OHKO into 95+% of incineroar. It also came with Sitrus Berry Follow Me on a slightly bulkier set to allow Scarf W-Urshifu to play into Raging Bolt. My 6th was kind of hastily thrown in there but I doubled down on monograss with Fake Out Rillaboom and to allow for Grassy Glide doublespam and additional recovery on lefties Archaludon Easily the weakest portion of the team but the rest was so strong it did okay..
QOTD: The wild Starters for me. The chance to have your favourite starter in basically any Ball is so cool
Thanks as always for the video
I missed it in...I think gen 7, but Totodile in a Lure Ball is a goal of mine.
Great showcase!! Rain teams are my personal favorites and pelipper is my favorite rain setter.
Love this team and im glad you showcased it.
i just wanna say i love the peliper image in the thumbnail!
Thank you as always for your videos! They're super helpful.
Thanks for the video! Funnily, I've been thinking about an Archaludon team just today and been struggling to think how to make it work, especially outside of rain-Electro shot core. Was thinking screens or even veil could be nice since A-Tales could cover the Fighting and Grounds that threaten Archaludon.
QOTD: my favorite part of the DLC are the new pokemons (paradox, Hydrapple, and Archaludon) being available and usable for Reg F. They've opened up a lot of new fun teams to build and experiment with, both meta and jank in-mind. Bolt core, Gouging Fire for sun and bulky attacker, Wake for sun, Crown for fast Psy Spam as some of the examples I've been having fun building around.
Best part of the DLC for me is the Item Printer, just more so as another way to try to get more Ability Patches 😅
Assault Vest Archaludon is one of my new favourite things. It's such a big, tanky, metal dragon bridge thing.
Archaludon is Metal Bridge Goku, and you can't change my mind.
Evidence:
- Kamehameha is electroshot.
- Ki blast is flash canon.
- Assault vest "weighted clothing"
- Stamina is him getting stronger through being near death (Saiyan X-Factor)
- Stalwart is stubborness to redirecting attacks.
Love these videos, they're the perfect length for pushing myself at the gym! My favorite part of the new DLC was the Elite Four battles which pushed me to consider my EVs for the first time ever!
I’ve been wanting to try archladon (but I don’t trust my teambuilding) so thanks for this cybertronvcg certified team!
I love long videos! And I loved the double battles for the second dlc. Cool to see those really featured again
i love your long videos i can watch some before work and the rest after 😊
Nice tan I hope u had a nice vacation or u changed the lighting
And perfect in depth explanation as always
Ever tought to do bo3 battles with open sheets on showdown to feature the teams in a more natural enviroment
I mean ladder and open Teams are way different
Wonderful team and it got me to Masterball rank! One thing I want to say is that this team helps me from struggling to deal damage on minimize Muk which is a popular team in the Chinese community. That heavy slam not only kills flutter but also a small pile of sludge as well!
Shoutout to the dude on reddit suggesting you. These vids are top notch. So educational exactly what a returning player needs to learn thank you!
Welcome to the channel!!! Thank you for watching :)
Awesome video as always! I just wish you would still show the general overview of the entire team (like you did in the SwSh era), so we can see the entire team at one look, before you go into the detailed descriptions of each Pokémon. :)
Hey Cybertron, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your hard work!! Thanks to you I actually understand VGC and I’m climbing the ladder slowly lol. You go so in depth with your videos and you explain all possible scenarios, plus you don’t just show the good matches you show the losses as well. You’re the best, can’t see what you bring us next! ❤🎉😊
Thank you so much for watching!!!
Went from using the Raging Bolt team you recently posted to this and I’m almost at Master Ball! Thanks for such helpful content! Always goated 🙇🏾
Respect for you from DR🇩🇴 love all your videos 💪🏾🙌🏾
Man i love these vids I recently got back to playing ladder and really like these videos, especially the parts when you explain the team and there weaknesses. Keep up the good work.
Have you seen the dark urshifu, farigiraf and blood Moon Ursuluna team from hyungwoo shin, looks pretty good.
Always looking for your videos @Aaron! More more more!
Aaron I am watching the charlotte regionals right now and your commentating is amazing! Keep up the great content work!!
Thank you so much for watching!
weather ball does more damage than hurricane does in rain. its base power doubles in weather. So it's 50 -> 100, 100 -> 150 from rain, and 150 -> 225 from STAB. Hurricane is 165 after STAB on a neutral target.
Sure, when you mentioned weather ball with pelliper, I totally relate to those situations when somebody just brings out the sun, i like hydro pump with wide lense, or surf when I pair up with a pokemon like quagsire with water absorb, he's really cool to counteract those switching electric types who take advantage of the rain, and then pelliper doesn't get affected by EQ, so you have a nice surf / EQ teamwork there. But Weather ball is powerful and accurate, I also like it a lot. Wow that Archaludon is really interesting, the body press with no defense investment, and heavy slam, maybe I can experiment myself, thanks so much for the video.
QOTD: Easily raging bolt. FINALLY a consistent answer into urshifu rapid-strike, along with being a super consistent, well-balanced (in terms of matchups and speed) and just actually fun pokemon. not to mention some of my fave mons returning like serperior and latios :)
An hour and 40 minute episode, this is what life is about 💪
Archaludon is one of my fav mons to play in this format, it feels so strong when you get set up
Love the vids ❤
Qotd: the final battle with Kieren was great, I also loved the fact that every single battle in the dlc is a double battle with some interesting tactics.
I'm using a rain team atm too and loving it. I had Hearthflame Ogerpon as a counter to Sun teams but I've faced so much Pao-Nite combos that I've found it absolutely necessary to put an Indeedee on my team to stop priority. 😬
One of my favourite current duo's is Archaludon and Friend Guard Maushold, when you hit it with population bomb you get a nearly guaranteed +6 defence so theres so much you can do with them
Favorite part of the DLC was probably the Champion fight. Champion battles in Pokémon usually don’t have that much personal conflict/stakes attached to them, so it was really cool to see a new direction in that regard. (That and the music was bangin.)
Qotd
Honestly just the idea of it all being doubles based was so cool to me. Loved seeing what strats the random trainers had.
Also being able to shiny hunt starter Pokémon is great too!
I've come up against a few Pelliper Archaludon teams as I've been climbing up toward Master Ball and I really think that the Assault vest is a pretty major deal here given how Special Attack focused the current meta seems to be. In particular, it seems like most other Archaludons I've faced thus far are just not as prepared for Special Attackers all that well as they fairly consistently go down to 1 or 2 attacks (I've been using the Primarina team featured here a week or so ago, for those curious).
24:42 😇👌💯💯
i was looking forward to seeing archaludon content!! really thankful for this 🙏🙏
(qotd -> i love the double battles and really enjoyed the ones with the elite 4 and champion!! i hope this isn't the end of blueberry academy coz i wanna see more of everyone!!) (and do more double battles)
I have to say that when we got Duraludon for me it was one of those Pokémon that make you say: "oh cool", but never really gets too much of my attention. But now Archaludon is becoming one of my favorites 😂 it's so cool to me for some reason, and for real this time lol (plus it's cry is so satisfying to hear)
27:37 1hp hype! Also game 3 turn 1 went exactly the way you wanted what a huge play
i haven't even watched the full video and i already love it because pelliper is in the video xD
The survive on 1 after stellar ice punch was WILD. I'm with you aaron, thought that was a guaranteed KO
Man there were some sick techs in this video. Also backstabber is an insane name for a bax lmao
Yesss finally archaludon!!
When Aaron uploads it's a good time!
That last battle was so cool to watch. The moment I saw Thundurus, I had a feeling it was going to use Electric Terrain, and that feeling only grew when I saw it paired with Archaludon.
Funny story with me knowing that was me doing a little bit of research out of curiosity: the only Pokemon that can Prankster set up Electric Terrain for Future Paradox Pokemon is Thundurus... If I one day pick up Scarlett or Violet, I'd try to make a team that works off Electric Terrain that doesn't use Pincurchin.
QOTD: Definitely the Mochi Dance. It's just out of being Stellar due to us not having a Mochi Dance emote...
1:32:42 I'd love to see you pilot this team Aaron. Because you're right, it is a sick combo
Hi Aaron! Big fan of your posts and watch regularly.
I was wondering if you can show a team with Iron Boulder? I’m trying to find pokemon to place around but can’t decide :(.
I will definitely feature it at some point!
If Baxcalibur gets burn, and then Weezing leaves the field, it will heal the burn because the ability also cures burns if you gain it.
Serious question could running icicle spear be better so you can stamina boost your own archuldon if you expect a protect?
Who is archaludon I only know big stapler bridge
Wow. It's midnight right now, let's go!
Would you say archaludon is a pseudo or not?
It has 600 bst and dragon type but isn't a 3 stage evo plus its a different generation evo. 🤔
Also yay baxcaliburrrrrrrrrrrr :D
An hour and forty minute Cybertron video?? I feel pampered lmao
I've been using archaludon with breaking swipe with essentially the same set as this one to make it an unkillable tank but heavy slam to ohko flutter mane is interesting
big stapler bridge showcasing! dang, I was thinking Politoed would've been used over Pelipper in a team ft archaludon.
This team got me to masterball tier lol, nice work
How worse is politoed versus pelipper as rain setter? I just love politoed I have one since sun & moon and I’m raising an archaloudon to try out a rain team. It’s slower but has some nice moves (encore, icy wind)
Archaludon is so oppressive if you don't have the right mon to deal with it. I also love seeing the Baxcalibur. I've won 10 of my last 11 in masterball with a Baxcalibur on the team, thought i was the only one lol
This big stapler bridge uses three different stats to calculate the power of its attacks. Attack for heavy slam, defense for body press, and SpAtk for Electric Shot and Dragon Pulse. Don't believe I've seen a mon run that before.
The staple remover/bridge is under rated. I've watched Rosemary use it on stream and people just don't seem to respect it.
QOTD: Raging Bolt to me is best thing that Reg F gave us. The fact that this mon alone scares so much TornShifu changed the entire meta.
00:59 Aaron forgot the "really" in "really helps out a ton" aaaa
Ive been trying out power herb archaludon with a politoad for drizzle but the glory of it it i dont have to bring politoad or leave him in the back
aaron posting another 90+min vid :') i love this lengthy content so much
I battled you while you were using this team. One of the most frustrating battles I've ever had. -Boden
When Dragon Cheer is fixed I would love a Prankster Dragon Cheer pokemon but in the meantime I want to try and make bulky support Archaludon with Dragon Cheer into Sniper Scope Lens Kingdra.
Isn’t sniper + scope lens + cheer overkill? Sniper gives plus one, scope gives plus one and cheer gives plus two. You only need plus 3 to get 100% crit rate
@@tcm_smitty As far as I'm aware, the only thing the Sniper ability does is increase critical hit damage by 50%.
@@FLStyle oh I’m dumb I thought it increased the crit chance
@@tcm_smitty You probably were thinking about Super Luck
Mr. Aaron Cybertron Zheng, what is your opinion on the move quash?
My only issue is it’s lackluster special defence which can only be boosted by assault vest since it dosent have calm mind which requires sacrificing a item
Archaludon is wild, i've been running AV but with Stalwart instead of Stamina because of plethora of redirection this format between psyspam Indeedee and W-Ogerpon. Its definitely not as optimal as Stamina builds but ignoring redirection is funny every. single. time.
Hour-long+ Cybertron Video? Its a good day.
I tried out a shell smash blastoise with water spout. Plus 2 helping hand water spout 1 shot Rillaboom and Archaludon. Nuts.
I think the rise of Dozo again is what's causing more Murkrow for the Haze
Great vid. Do you live in Japan Aaron? I noticed you often face JP teams
This mon I always struggle against to the point I use Perish song on my flutter mane just to at least force my opponent out if they get too many boost with Electro Shot and stamina
"Flucci Mane" Oh it's a WeedleTwineedle Team...
"Best Bird" ...in collaboration Nexus, maybe?
Every time i see a new video i see a new background
I’d love to see you play with a Prankster Skill Swap Meowstic team
I played against you yesterday.. so unfortunate that I’m not in the video 😢
Couldn’t believe that I won from you.
Nice team!
i long to see an archaludon of my own clutch on 1hp so i must keep up my practice hehe o7
Just yesterday I saw a video meme about Focus Blast never hitting and all the comments making fun of the move… Then game 4 comes in 😂
The meme is strong with that move
Did you lump the team discussion in with the into segment?
Fixed, thanks :)
Omg the Pelipper is super cute.🥺
I love Archaludon's cry
Cybertron’s out here dropping a full movie
Archaludon: The Movie💛💙
Finally found a meme team to climb the ladder with and these rain/electro teams are just WALLING me like crazy. We can for sure expect to see a few of these place high!
QOTD: everyone doing the chicken dance in the epilogue
Archaludon is SSS Tier In the pokemon cry tier list
Omg long video! Wow! This is gonna take a couple sittings.
Not that I mind.😊
QOTD: Archaludon existing. it truly just refuses to die.
Would you ever think about doing a stream and trying to hit rank one?
I would love to run a team where I could control both weather and terrain in my favor.
QOTD: Double battles everywhere. Single battles are too easy at this point in the franchise and I would love to see this develop into difficulty option in future games. Having double battles throughout a whole game would be awesome instead of having a supereffective move and a setup move sweep each part of the game.
That Tatsugiri was guaranteed Timid Choice Scarf, since it outsped your Choice Scarf Urshifu. Tatsugiri can never outspeed your Urshifu unless it was Timid and you were Adamant, which is exactly the case here.
My man doing 7 games daily ❤
Shiny Wheezing is so pretty
