  • In this video, I try out the team that Abdullah Mohayyuddin used to win the 2023 Vancouver Pokemon VGC Regional Championships! The team was originally built by Nick Navarre, who finished in the Top 4 of the Knoxville Regional Championships. It features Torkoal and Lilligant as well as some super strong picks like Choice Scarf Great Tusk, Lum Berry Multiscale Dragonite, and more!

    Your performance in Vancouver was masterful! Ryan’s team was a tough matchup but had the RNG gods been on your side for that match, I totally could have seen you taking the whole thing. However, the way you reflected on the run was so humble and commendable.

    As someone who is currently EV Training a Lilligant/Torkoal Team, coincidentally before it shined in Vancouver mind you, this video has some excellent timing! Just replace the Protect on Lilligant with Teeter Dance, the King with Ghold, make the D-Nite mono attacking Bulky Tailwind/Roost, and the Flutter with Brute Bonnet lmao. Still tho, this'll help in getting a pov into piloting such a team, even if the win cons are a bit different ;D

    Yo Aaron if you haven’t already, can you try to make a VGC team with all Champion teams in the Pokémon games? Like a Cynthia, Iris etc team, but for VGC. Obviously you can’t with most Champion teams because they aren’t in the game, but even if it’s on Showdown, it would be cool to see them in a VGC format.

  • @jabuan22

    I also ran Nails' team in Vancouver (my first regional) but did not do as well haha. Started out well at 3-1, then the competition got stiff and I finished 1-4. But I'll take 4-5 at my first event! Was cool seeing Aaron in person too!

  • @matthewtan9044
    @matthewtan9044 Před rokem +3

    Hi Aaron,
    I just want to congratulate you on reaching top 4 at the Vancouver regionals. It's thanks to you that I really started to enjoy playing VGC after playing Smogon singles before. You have very good tatical awarness, knowing what is going to happen next and what pokemon to bring during a specific matchup. This is something I've been trying to impliment in my game and I'm slowing but surely improving. Yet again, thank you so much and hope you continue to upload regularly because I watch your content everyday!
    Q/A: I really enjoyed your match against Neil. I liked how you were able to positon your Iron Bundle extremely well. Especially against his Dondozo in that final game. I'm so impressed that you were able to learn from your mistakes and defeat him despite losing to him in the earlier rounds.

  • @aetryos3688
    @aetryos3688 Před rokem

    Hello! I have been watching your videos since your Zoroark and Mimikyu video and suffice it to say your videos are addicting to watch. Watching every video from start to finish. It’s just that watching Pokemon Wi-Fi battles that has commentary and playing a few games is a rare find for me, at least to me.
    One thing I know is that every Pokémon team you used was made from someone that had won or had made a milestone in a vgc tournament (I think that’s the majority of it idw I am not familiar yet about the vgc community 😓). Don’t get me wrong it is great using Pokémon teams and showing how exceptional they are in battle as long as you credit the one who made it. But do you have your own originally made team?What team did you use from your vgc days? I am actually curious 😮✨ I am hoping that you can use your own team in battle and I would look forward to watching that if you do.

    I was very excited to see you play Aaron. You did amazingly well. My fav match was game 1 for Demitrios Kaguras vs Marcus Dion. All hope seemed lost for Demitrios as the fearsome dominating Dondozo takes out Iron Bundle and it’s Great Tusk vs the world. It seemed like the game was a wrap for Marcus but unexpectedly Great Tusk lands the critical hit on Dondozo. Everyone is shocked! With Tatsugiri and Glimmora left, all hope lies on one last turn. With the muddy water miss from Tatsugiri, Great Tusk was all clear to earn the Victory. This was one of the greatest comebacks I’ve witnessed and shows everyone why Pokémon is such a special game. Congrats to all the players and I appreciate all the commentators for hosting a fantastic regional. I wish you luck and success in the future.

  • @DonYagamoth
    @DonYagamoth Před rokem

    So, this may be a bit of an odd question, but I love unusual tech for strange situations:
    - In which situation would one ever use "After You" on an opponent?
    I feel like there would be some odd cases where that may apply, but I can't think of any currently
    Also, that Game 1 shows me, that I still have such a long way to go. Recognizing the win condition, and figuring out how to set up for Lilligant + Torkoal to sweep as if it was the most natural thing ever, is "terrifying" to me. When I didn't know as much about the game yet, these things probably just slipped by me in previous videos. But I suppose it's the classic: 'The more you know, the more you know how much you don't know' situation

    Thanks for the game (the first one). I was seriously shocked when I saw your name pop up. You really caught me at the end of a really bad two days. I literally could have won turn 1 because I knew the team, I knew there was a Power Gem and I could have covered this with Normal Tera which would have left me with a +5 Arcanine, you down Flutter and me with a Sash intact Maushold (and there is no Flare Blitz recoil). I generally play better than this with the team but I had a big crash yesterday, worked myself back up and then repeated the same thing again today. You literally caught me at the tail end of a 77 game marathon of these last two days. So sorry for not giving you a better match. I feel embarrassed enough by turn 1. ;)
