If you say pleeeeeeeaaaase
wolfe you must be starving to accept a raid shadow legends sponsorship 😭
Man I hope they paid real good
eww
You clicked this video to know how good the new pokemon are, i clicked this video because i want to nod along and act like i know how good the new pokemon are. We are not the same.
I clicked this video to know what the new pokemon are. We are not the same
Innit bruv
Same
I’m done paying for Pokémon dlc fuuuck that we are not the same
I clicked this video?
Moral of the story:
If it hits through protect, it’s broken
If it is weak to incineroar, it sucks
*looks at Brambleghast* "im sorry son"
That's how meta do
VGC is so different from Smogon i often feel like im tryna learn a different language lmao
@@shepardice3775it is but both are fun in different ways
do you play doubles? entirely different game at times@@shepardice3775
The best new Pokémon in Indigo Disk is Araquanid because it's Araquanid. I feel these unique and distinct traits give Araquanid a serious edge over the competition. Araquanid is both a spider and a bubble which is an extremely powerful combination. Whilst other Pokémon may have specific niches they perform well in, Araquanid is the only Araquanid in the game and provides a specific, Araquanid-centric experience. I expect to see Araquanid in every team going forward owing to everything I've mentioned.
Damn you. Take your like and get out of here!
Lmao
Seriously tho, terra water,mystic, water bubble, water stab liquidation under rain will do some damage
Just slab that boi on a trickroom team and it's done
Araquanid and Galvantula being back completes me
Jokes aside, Araquanid might be the best counter against Dino Entei and Heatran.
Araquanid's strongest warrior
Sure, Mighty Cleave hits through Protect, but are we going to ignore the fact this Rock type move is 100% accurate?
It can't be! The curse... its broken 😯
I mean, so is Stone Mask Ivy Cudgel.
@Pablo360able yea but that changes types, it's like talking about hidden power, tera beam, or judgement
@@gumbitoicic9977 ivy cudgel is 100 base power and a signature move, so yes in fact it's exactly judgement. every strong, accurate rock-type physical move is exactly like judgement, right down to only two pokemon being able to learn it and one of them being smeargle.
Wolfey realizing what mighty cleave does, was a highlight for sure
Bro went from “Mid Pokémon” to “Holy frick this is broken af” in about 3 seconds
Switched sides really quick
It’s powerful and has ridiculous offensive stats but it’s balanced by its ridiculously awful typing. In order to see ANY usage it needs this move. With that said, it will probably just die to sucker punches.
I was like “wait til he sees it” 😂
Wolfey saying "It hits through protect" after every sentence is the funniest shit I've ever seen.
I’m so glad Wolfey recognized the comedy in giving it Dragon Hammer
7:38 For anyone curious, the effect rate on Fickle Beam is 30%, meaning it has an average base power of 104
Wrong. It has an average base power of 80 for me and 160 for my opponent.

@@rubensanchezgil722 so tru 😂😭
@@rubensanchezgil722😂😂😂
@@rubensanchezgil722 lol
you just ignored the fact that electro shot from archaludon fires in the same turn on rain, like solar beam does on sun
Yeah I’m not sure why he missed that.
Also the fact that it has Stamina.
WHAT?
Does it also get the boost if it’s used in rain? If so a 130 bp stab move that raises sp. atk every turn is busted
@@BeanyBoi06 it does, this move is so broken on rain
Fun fact : Iron Boulder's Rock-Psychic is one of the dual types with the most weaknesses. It was previously only on Solrock/Lunatone, who at least got to avoid their ground weakness with Levitate
Yeah, but do solrock and lunatone hit through protect?
The fact it has a 120 atk and 124 speed is realllly propping it up and then the fact it's signature move is not only a 100% accurate strong rock move, but ALSO hits through protect sends it from the dumpster straight to the top of the moutain xD
I mean with its signature move, I see Iron Boulder-Urshifu type teams being mulled over.
The problem is not just "it's weak to a lot of types" the problem is that it's weak to basically the entire metagame lol. Flutter, Chien-Pao, Chi-Yu, BOTH Urshis, Lando, Rilla, ALL Ogers. The poor guy doesn't get a break
atleast its not 4x weak to anything, h-arcanine is 4x weak to two types and yet hes still on top
weaknesses dont matter if it makes up in every other category
I find it so funny how he was dogging on iron Boulder than found out he hits through protect and was just like “Well shit he’s amazing! S Tier!”
And it's FAST and Mighty Protectbreaker is accurate, Boulder's goes pretty hard.
Weaknesses doesn't matter if the opponent is ded.
@@sinteleon literally 😂
I mean, Dudunsparce was fair game, it's a Normal move on a pretty slow and only decently powerful mon.
This monstrosity is crazy fast, crazy strong, Rock is one of the best offensive types usually balanced by lower accuracy (not here though!) and the move turns into a OHKO move with Electric Terrain. Yeah, it had better have one of the worst defensive typings in the game, this thing's ridiculous!
1 SD set-up and it's gonna sweep hard.
I love how Wolfey's opinion on Iron Boulder immediately changed after he found out it has a move that hits through protect XD
It still won't be that good. It requires alot of support to do much. Also intimidate will keep it crippled.
@@anthonyroberts7486 prolly will be the go-to teramon. weak ass typing but has 120 atk 126 spd and goes tru protect? perfect main teramon imo
The biggest buff in this DLC is giving back the glowing parts for the Kyurem Fusions.
And typhlosion flames!
@@nebbynoo1127Did they change flames in DLC?
They're giving away hints of BW3
@olafmikoaj3121 When gen 6 dropped, they only showed up when Kyurem attacked, unlike in BW, where it was part of their idle animation. It wasn't till SV they gave it back in the idle animations.
@@itzminebro2413 yeah like there are so many hints at a sequel to bw2, It started iirc in legends arceus when Ingo just appeared out of nowhere. If we aren't getting a unova sequel I'd be shocked.
One thing tera star storm doesn’t mention here is that it becomes Stellar Type when terapagos terastalises, meaning it hits all pokemon neutrally, tera pokemon get hit super effectively (without stellar tera blast’s downside of dropping both attacks by 1 when doing so), always receives stab boost despite tera stellar’s regular gimmick and hits both opponents. The move is crazy
astral barrage 2.0 with no resistance or immunity to stop it. and always supereffective against tera pokemon
And no drawbacks too. No recoil, no stat drops, and no recharge or charge time.
The only "drawback" of tera starstorm is that you can only use it 8 times per battle. That's it.
@@emeraldnickelor the factor that terapagos is pretty slow
And gets walled by special defensive monsters
Like kyogre
@@Oreca2005 I’m talking about the move, not the ‘mon.
lets not forget that mighty cleave not only hits through protect, but is also a high base power rock-type move that has 100 accuracy
Rock type moves with 100 accuracy are more rare than shiny Pokemon
@@dizendo That's because this is the first rock type move that hits harder than Power Gem (80) that has 100% acc.
@@DaArbiturPalpatineTechnically that's stone mask Ivy Cudgel, which is also 100 power instead of 90.
@@DaArbiturPalpatineI was gonna mention diamond storm but actually that’s 95% acc 😢
@@unkarsthug4429by that logic it’s actually judgment
Wolfie completely glanced over Archaludon's other ability, Stamina. Body Press will absolutely be a move you can just toss on there
Also, terrastalized terrapagos has the hp and spdef of snorlax, much better defense, solid attacking stat, and 120bp spread move with no resistances and extra upside. Its busted.
I actually made an Archaludon set with Body Press and Stamina with Assault Vest, maxed the Special Attack and Special Defense IVs and went with a Timid nature. Feel like that makes him fairly bulky and I did outspeed Crispin's Blaziken for a turn or two before its Speed Boost obviously overtook me, so probably made him usably fast too. Not sure how strong this set actually would be against other people, given I have his partner as a Sheer Force Cetitan with Rain Dance.
Beat Up support Mon?
The main thing that’s confusing about terapgos is the stellar type. But to be clear, terastilizing terapagos makes tera starstorm a move that hits both opponents, will always be super effective against terastalized pokemon, and will get a one time 1.2x boost like using up a gem.
Also, because Tera Starstorm becomes stellar type when terstalized, I think it’s completely unresisted.
@@grunklesam787 Unless Terastal form Terapagos is active, since it resists all moves. :P
@@sinteleonNo Stellar doesnt give you resistance to everything, and other pokemon can use stellar, when using stellar type your weakness is the same as before the Tera but you can choose what type is boosted but only once and if you run tera blast, that is going to be always boosted by stellar tera and tera blast/tera starstorm stellar cannot be resisted by any type
@@sinteleonso Terapagos doesnt resist everything, it just keeps the normal type weaknesses
@@AmingoSuSyep it’s only weak to fighting
I love Wolfe questioning Iron Boulder's weaknesses as they're all listed on the screen
It’s very funny seeing wolfe entirely switch his opinion on robo terakion when it hits through prot
I’m just glad it’s not a multi hit guaranteed crit move
Terapagos is quite special. Its probably going to need its own Video, as its intrinsic strength is drawn from its interaction with its own Tera Type.
Especially since it interacts different from how other Pokémon with stellar are:
While stellar usually boosts each type once, for terapagos that limiting factor doesn't exist
@@taanwallbanks9841 Is this confirmed?? It can use the same type more than once, and still have Stellar buff it 1.5x?
Do you have a link or a place I can see this confirmed?
If so it is WAY better than it looks.
@@taanwallbanks9841you can boost one selected type in pvp and boost all types in raids with stellar.
Or does terapagos get a special ability?
@@Bladius_ the Stellar buff seems to be 1.2x? In general. I'm shaky on the details myself but I've seen it mentioned a bunch in forums
@@Bladius_ Yes It's confirmed, when a normal pokemon becomes Stellar it only plays the Tera-STAB animation once for each type, but Terapagos does it all the time, so it essentially has STAB on all moves. Also in it's Stellar form Tera Starstorm hits both opponents, is neutral against all types and super-effective against any tarastalized pokemon.
I love how every new Pokémon’s viability is reliant on whether or not it can beat Incineroar
"Is it weak to bug?" While Iron Boulders weaknesses are on the screen lol gotta love Wolfey's absentmindedness
There’s that “world champ difference” he constantly brags about at work.
"Tyranitar is weak to Bug". That's because it's a Dark type
@@MrsWhiterock he said that because they share a rock type, he knows that it's weak to bug not because of the dark type, but because rock doesnt resist which is what he was trying to remember
Loved how as soon as you saw Iron Boulder could hit thru protect you immediately went from trash to BROKEN 😂
It wont be that good. It loses to many common mons and requires support to get anything done.
@@anthonyroberts7486it’s one of those occasions where a forced Tera happens
Like arcanine
@@anthonyroberts7486 yea bro u gotta remember terastallizing changes everything for a pokemon
@@Kidchrls thats my point, you have to invest too much into it for it to be decent. If you want a mon to through protect you may as well just use urshifu.
@@anthonyroberts7486 once again when it comes to competitive battling theres no such thing as investing too much if you think a pokemon is viable and has good enough stats to be you can make it work. And once again terrestalizing also helps as well.
You forgot Electro Shot gets charged in one turn in rain. So you can fire off Electro Shots constantly in rain
For Gouging fire: if im not mistaken, his signature move only protects agains attacks, not status moves so a spore would still put it to sleep
still do. you have to take the gamble to hit him if your pokemon on the field only has contact moves. So thats somethig to keep in mind,
That's when Gouging Fire calls up its new best friend: Alcremie.
Electro Shot also is a one turn move in the rain. If you attack into protect you still get the SpA boost. In the rain it’s a 130 BP, SpA boosting move that can’t be redirected if you’re using Stalwart. Pretty insane if you ask me
This has to be the most dispassionate raid ad read of all time
As it should be the game is actually shit. He should take his bag and go 😂
I was gonna say the same thing
Gouging Fire not only is neutral against Fairy attacks, it also gets Smart Strike to OHKO any Fluttermane that stands in front of it.
Dragon cheer seems like it might be deceptively strong on the right team. Use that on an allied dragon type that's holding a scope lens, and you can get your ally to crit 100% of the time with draco meteor.
For a setup that only costs a held item, one moveslot, and one turn, while being usable for any dragon type pokemon, that's pretty powerful for the right team. Kingdra has run similar sets in the past with focus energy and sniper, and while those sets were always fairly niche, dragon cheer feels like it could be a much better version of that with the ability to work for better pokemon.
Dragon cheer + Ogrepon on scope lens means Ivy Cudgel will always crit so might simply run her on minimal attack EVs.
I’m also pretty sure that Kingdra has Sniper, so it could be a fun meme team!
@@TwilightChomperEnthusiast Sadly Kingdra has bad Sp. atk compared to other Special attackers. Especially Dragon types. Kingdra's speed necessitates Swift swim + Rain. Sniper would somewhat compensate for the low Sp. atk, but other mons often have a higher Sp. atk AND a useful ability.
(Kingdra has 95 Sp. and 85 Speed)
Hydreigon has 125 Sp. atk with 98 Speed. Has two immunities and more resistances than Kingdra. Also access to Nasty plot, although good luck using that :D
@@vez3834 Eh, more of an idea I randomly thought of with 0 thought behind it. Thanks, though!
@@TwilightChomperEnthusiast Yep yep! I love Kingdra conceptually, but it's just not great. Still usable in a rain team probably.
I'll try to justify using it now:
Great defensive and solid offensive typing. Quad resists to Water and Fire. No Ice weakness. Has nice balanced bulk. Swift swim + Rain boosted STAB Water moves.
We don't even need to Tera + Tera blast, as we have Flash cannon for Fairies that can deal with Water. Tera Steel to escape both Fairy and Dragon weaknesses going into another great defensive typing. Also STAB on Flash cannon. (don't have to Tera for Steel move, but can give STAB! Nice to be able to use Tera elsewhere.)
Life orb or Choice specs can work well. Expert belt if you intensely dislike the downsides of the other two items.
Probably want to slot this in with a good defensive core and physical offense already present on the team. Or build around Kingdra.
Good luck :)
I've been trying to build Hydrapple, and I feel it's best as a bulky special attacker while Dipplin fits the support role a bit better. Hydrapple lacks the bulk that Eviolite Dipplin has and needs AV to always live timid specs flutter mane, but it also has much more of an offensive presence.
Im currently building an AV Supersweet Syrup Hydrapple with Syrup Bomb, Earth Power, Hydro Pump, and Fickle Beam while using your Dipplin team as a base and it's been pretty solid so far!
Does it need 0 speed ivs or is it fine without?
@@nameless5646 If you're using it in Trick Room, then kinda? You don't necessary have to be 0 speed IV (decent speed IV will work fine too), but it'll matter in the mirror so it could be important. Outside of trick room though, you don't really need min speed
You stole my idea 💀💀
Edit: the combo with hydrapple it's interesting!
Indigo Disk - Here's a bunch of new powerful Pokemon
Wolfe - Incineroar
Trauma, PTSD even
I'm not sure he knows this but brian hands is the most common fake out user nowadays from what I've seen
Incineroar is still around but thankfully not as much
@@scp-phenomenon014I literally saw too many Fire Cats in VGC and it’s messed up-
@@scp-phenomenon014 "brian hands" lmao
Not sure if it's intentional, it probably is, but Archaludon's shiny has the same colours as the Sky Arrow bridge in Unova. Very awesome detail!
Wolfe sounded like Raid had a gun to his head in that sponsor shoutout lol
With the fact archaludon gets solar beam, could you theoretically make a duo weather team of sun/rain for the mind games? idk just a fun little idea I came up with
It’s a cool idea, but the fact that there’s so few pokemon that can work in both sun and rain means you’re likely splitting pokemon between the “teams,” and with only 6 pokemon you can bring, you can’t really justify it over just a single weather.
If that’s the case, Archaludon and Walking Wake seem like a potent combo.
I think you’d usually prefer one or the other unless you really, really dislike opposing Water types.
I think you’d usually prefer one or the other unless you really, really dislike opposing Water types.
Naw, make one team or the other, but if you have solar beam ready to capitalize on an opponent's weather they bring in to stop your rain for instance... that's a good trick
Something I haven’t heard people praise about Archaludon is how strong it synergizes with weather teams. Electro shot with rain, sand immunity with a sky high defense for tanking any rogue ground moves, doesn’t really care about hail, and sunny weather can be a challenge, but it is bulky and benefits from Solar Beam. Honestly we need more beam moves Ala Meteor, Electro, and Solar
Hail is not a thing anymore. It snows with no damage.
@@alexanderpierce7985 I forgot, sorry. Haven’t played enough to where that’s noteworthy.
bro his reaction to iron boulder kills me
I wonder if Dragon Cheer gives an extra boost to teammates Terastalized into Dragon-Types? Maybe the Sniper ability will get some usage.
Sniper Kingdra boosted by dragon cheer is gonna be SCARY
100% crit chance for all moves is now workable as a strat
@@pokeemonitor4539 Kingdra spaming draco meteors withouth drawbacks plus rain.
Notes:
1. Fickle Beam has a 30% chance to become 160 power, which is a lot higher than I thought it was, bordering on OP.
2. I actually think archaludon would like to run Hard Press, just cause physical steel type moves are hard to come by, and it caps out at 100 power, so its a solid stab option imo.
3. Iron Boulder and Gouging Fire are both OP as shit lmfao. They're gonna be used a lot, ESPECIALLY with booster energy.
4. Upper hand seems interesting too, might have to see how it shapes the meta?
5. So, tera starstorm hits all opponents for neutral, and is supereffective on all opposing teras. Combined with the fact that the stellar tera type gives stab (life orb multiplier) for every single move once, this move has an average power of 240. Def broken.
btw Terapagos has the tera stab on every attack, not just the first of each type.
@@federicodc Wait fr, so mans got free life orb w/o taking an item slot?
STAB is 1.5
@onassi2 it's like stab, but it's a 1.3 multiplier
@@adityakalakuntla2715it's actually 1.2, not 1.3. It's 1.33333 SPECIFICALLY on moves that were already STAB before you Tera'd.
Oh, and Tera Stellar Blast or Starstorm do NOT receive natural STAB from Stellar-Terastallized Pokémon.
Yes, you read that right. Terapagos does NOT have STAB on Tera Starstorm. It's a glitch, but it's real.
Was just looking for a video like this, thanks for dropping a banger as always!
Terapagos is gonna be one hell of a pokemon…
After using it, I can definitely say Terapagos is busted, or at least its Stellar form definitely is. A 120 Base Power move that hits both targets, that no Pokémon resists, paired with that bulk and that stat spread? This mon is absolutely wild. Its coverage is absolutely insane as well, Terapagos is definitely a threat.
The fact normal types are now even more viable because of the stellar type gives me hope for Tauros.
In what way they are better?
@luismiguel7256 well for one, they can Hit even harder and go for 1 hit K,Os against fighting types thanks to the Stab boosts to all thier moves and threaten load os other types since sone normal types have a very wide move pool, and only have a single weakness to fighting and an immunity to ghost, theres not alot of types that can hit normal for super effective, and they can threaten any Tera pokemon with Stellar Tera Blast
@@supermannygamer2003except they only get the boost once and it’s 1.2x instead of 1.5x
@@supermannygamer2003It's only a 1.2x boost on every non original type, and it's only a one time use buff. Stellar Tera Blast drops your offensive stats and doesn't get stab. We will have to see it, but I don't think the usage is going to be high.
@Cbouncerrun but still though, if you plan and play your moves right, you can end up sweeping 60 to 75% of the enemy team with those 4 moves once. Yes the new Tera Type may be a little underwhelming defensively, but if done right, can be extremely OP offensively
The question is, can smeargle sketch Burning Bulwark?
Also, the turtle kind of needs to use your team's tera to function at full strength
I tried not Tera The Turtle and it still do decent Damage with one Calm Mind with Max Sp Attack Invest
Quick thing about terapagos, its unique in that when terad it gets unlimited stab on all moves instead of the one time like all other stellar ookemon, and its unique move becomes stellar so its totally unresistabe and it also hits all apposing pokemon and is super effective against terad pokemon
I love the reaction to Iron Boulder's ability to hit through protect when they already introduced a move that does the same in hyper drill XD
People sleep on my boy dududududunsparce 😔
Dudunsparce is slow and normal type
I've been having an excellent time using Calm Mind Terapagos with Sinistcha and Snarl Incineroar for support. I can use Hospitality and Life Dew to keep Tera Shield up while I boost, and then tera and sweep when ready
Solar beam deserves that +1 sp. Atk boost that electro shot and meteor beam have
Terapagos is really good for raids since you could abuse its bulk and calm mind before using its stellar form to begin shredding the raid pokemon. I also use a shell bell on it so I could somewhat heal and maybe activate its ability once or twice more(Idk if shell bell is a good item for it tho gotta do more research and experiments)
electro shot is like a meteor beam and solar beam in one, fires immediatly in the rain and gives a sp attack increase, op move in my opinion.
Favourite has to be angry cloud giraffe.
I can see someone using Gouging Fire's signature move, with something with guts and make it be able to hold a choice band and attacking it to get the burn
Missed the bit where archaludon's sig move instant charges in rain, making it so that its a great rain team mon for coverage
Great video Wolfe!
Would you consider an Alolan starter Pokemon perish trap? Perish Song Primarina (with Encore maybe), Spirit Shackle Decidueye to prevent switches, Incineroar (more flexibility with Protect/Fake Out timing between Incin and Gothitelle). Could be a fun "get to rank 1" challenge maybe.
Looking forward to seeing you compete in Reg F!
Sceptile being competitively viable with shed tail making it such a hard hitting fast shed tail user
Sceptile also has Upper Hand, which means even priority users can't stop it. Oh, you have a Talonflame at full HP with Brave Bird? No you don't.
In other news, Gyarados got Temper Flare and it's not even that powerful, but for some reason a decent Fire attack on Gyarados sounds dangerous.
Couple things about Pecharunt: it's name is Pecha-runt, as in Pecha Berry (The one which cures Poison, irony of ironies), and the reason why most of it's stats are 88 is a Japanese pun.
Eighty-Eight in Japanese is "Yaba", which can also translate to "Terrible", "Horrible", or "Evil"... Which is fitting for the evil mind-controling pokemon that's also the master of the Loyal Three.
I think he pronounces some pokemon wrong on purpose, he calls Gengar, "Jenjar"........
Electro shot activates the same turn in rain so it could be a good rain team cooperator or anti rain pokemon
I will use this video in the future for competative help! Thanks!
small info Bruning Bulwark only protects from damage dealing moves so it can get spored or disabled the turned it used it
Pecharunt is going to make getting into the metagame that much harder for honest players. While it was a good idea before to ensure that all your special attackers had 0 attack iv in case they got confused, Pecharunt seems like it's going to make that scenario much more common.
What is pecharunt?
Isn't pecharunt a mythical pokemon though are they even allowed on vgc ?
@@bluestorm1990Hopefully not lol. 100% accurate toxic with the side effect of causing confusion is annoying af. Physical attackers can't catch a break.
30% on fickle beam is pretty damn good tbh. Could see you using hydrapple in a trick room set, but otherwise I think dipplin with eviolite is just better.
I find that with a choice specs on hydrapple has potential to hit very hard while having minimal investment into its offense, so you could stat it to survive hits while potentially taking out opponents with leaf storm or draco meteor, then swap out to recover hit points and do it again.
One thing about Gouging Fire’s Burning Bulwark move is status moves still go through it, so it can still get hit with something like a thunder wave, toxic or even encore while using the move
Rock/Psy is actually decent for Boulder, rock+psy+ground hits everything with either stab or super effective coverage. It has no 4x weaknesses either and most mons that can KO it are weak to it.
Bronzong might be a counter to it actually lol
Gouging FIre + an ally switch user could have great synergy... If the opposing physical attacker targets the ally switcher, Gouging Fire can use Burning Bullwork and switch with the other mon to shutdown and burn the opposing physical attacker. It cant be a good centerpiece to a team but it can definitely be a good strat at least i think so...
This the guy to watch for this stuff. If you ever feel like your effort is wasted, just know I got into the VGC side because of all your hard work and insightful information
Even Wolfey is unenthusiastic when he does the sponsorship section for RAID 😂
Wolfey didn't mention electro shot doesn't take 2 turns in rain, which is busted
Wolfey not knowing Terapagos in its final form is insane. Id assume it wont be used in VGC until the big legendaries are allowed in a later format. If its legal in the upcoming DLC2 format, well... i worry for the metagame because 700 BST turtle that has every special move it could ask for and a sick signature and so much more... i feel like we would just see Terapagos EVERYWHERE. I think its meant to be one of the big time legendaries with Zacian and friends. Then we will see how it holds up there.
0:10 honestly just hanging out next to wolfey while he plays the guitar and talks about pokemon with me seems very nice and chill.
I have mixed feelings about my next Regional (Portland) taking place on the very first week of Reg F. It’s gonna be a fun one with these new toys to try out!
Hydrapple seems like it's an AV trick room Mon. Tera water to be really hard to get rid of while fishing for Fickle Beam double damage procts
dude I watch you videos FOR stuff like this. To hear you talk about the pros and cons of different Pokemon and where they fit in the meta and such.
Iv already built a team around a clear amulet, dragon dance Gouging Fire and from doing so iv found that burning bulwark works like kings shield where it doesn’t stop status so your weak to moves like spore, taunt and if you Tera it away from fire then weak to will-o-wisp
Picking Violet Version was the worst choice in all my years playing Pokemon
Fun fact: Archaludon's total base stat is 600, which would technically make it a pseudo-legendary
Pseudo-Legendaries need to be 3-Stages as well. 1/2 of the conditions filled though, maybe we’ll get a Duraludon pre-evo?
@@NokoTheTacothat would be so cool
This was really good!
Funny note: I found this video because I decided to randomly look at the VGC usage stats, and I was like "Incineroar? INCINEROAR? I NEED TO SEE IF WOLFEY MADE A 20 MINUTE ANGRY VIDEO ABOUT THIS" xD
Wolfey absolutely nails the tone in all his ads
I’ve heard fickle beam does double damage 30% of the time.
Whenever there’s an evolution I’m not a huge fan of the look of, I’m just glad the pre-evo now has eviolite support. But it’s also useful to know if the evolution is good.
It's evo's new move is actually nutsss; it's like a 100% accurate electric meteor beam AND it full charges instantly in rain; Meaning it's not only boosting you by 1 spatk stage it's also electric type solar beam in the rain xD
@@ninjablade2 yeah I’m sure it’s good, but I’m not a fan of the vibes 😂
I found a strat that involves pairing a milotic with archaladon and then using rain dance. Now you have rain boosted scald and a 1 turn electro shot
my view on iron crown is that it would be good for psychic trickroom teams as a potential scarfer on a secondary mode. you can voltswitch out on lead to something slower if needed/wanted and its go good move for hitting chien-pao assuming u can make it fast enough to outspeed with scarf. - also note that it resists exstreme speed for the bandit Dnite + chein-pao combo.
If there are now two S tier monsters that hard counter protect. maybe you just re-evaluate how strong the move is when it isn't blocking attacks 100% of the time. That's a thing you can do. I know protect has always been good in doubles, but it's also just a move, like every other move in the game.

This is pathetically cringe
When I played through the dlc, I mainly used a trick room team with reuniclus, then I’d have hydrapply, archaludon, snorlax, flygon, and (I forgot), but as long as I got trick room up my team was insane
Terapagos is really strong! Switch it in in it's normal form for free because of it's ability "tera shell" and then you just sweep the whole opponents team with the Steller form if you have like speed control
Of course it gets beam moves… it’s a bridge, beams are what they’re made of 😂
Ohhhhh that's clever
Couple things about Archaludon: Electro Shot (is stated to) fire immediately in rain. Which seems kind of ridiculous because it's a delete button that comes with a built in Nasty Plot. Also, you can run Stamina Archaludon and Skill Link a double resisted Bullet Seed into it for +5 Def Body Press.
Population bomb for one turn +6
@@aldogoca3363 You do you, but for my money, if you're using the Wide Lens strategy you're most likely taking 3 or 4 extra hits with no benefit, when you already don't have as much resistance to the damage type, and there's still a small chance you'll low-roll your hits. Skill Link feels more consistent to me, and there's a pretty good chance the opponent will give Archaludon that 6th hit, anyway.
Seeing that both it's weakness, fighting and ground, are primarily physical I think stamina on archaludon might also be a realy good option, especially with av it becomes very hard to kill after being hit just once
So fun fact mighty cleave is one of the two damaging rock type move above 60 power that has 100% accuracy, the other one being power gem (excluding those who changes type like ivy cudgel, judgment, multi attack, tera blast and revelation dance)
I love how wolf goes from hyping up iron crown to immediate disappointment and the opposite with iron boulder
Pecharunt's 88 stats come from a Japanese pun, where the number's pronunciation can also be read as a word for "Terrible" or "dangerous". It's the secret master of Kitakami's Loyal Three, who all had 88 hp, and so takes it a step further by having 88 in near everything indicating it to be extremely dangerous.

Wolfey's ad reads are the best. The tone of his voice is exactly what I expect!
Electro Shot is like a combination of Meteor Beam and Solar Beam. It raises the user's Special Attack stat by one stage during the first turn, but it can also be fired up against the target on the same turn if there is rain. The only difference is Electro Shot becomes a one turn move in rain, while Solar Beam during harsh sunlight.
You can tell how excited Wolfey is about Raid Shadow Legends
Electro shot is a single turn move on rain....so in a rain team can be pretty neat. I want to work on a rain team now, and I caught a shiny duraludon already!
you deserv all the attention! Happy for you and your hard work! :)
This I really liked this more BonusWolf style video!
And it's edited in a lite way (eg. music), while still retaining the original theme.
Mighty cleave is also one of the few 80+bp rock type moves that is all positives most other rock type moves with over 80bp has stuff like low accuracy or conditional like a charge turn.
Terapagos is so interesting with Power Herb Meteor Beam. You really need a lot of investment to kill Incin tho.
After testing Archaludon against some friends I have found several EV spreads that make it an amazing mon and builds / moves, if needed I can share in the discord and show my planing behind it
I really enjoy Terapagos, personally. Calm Mind Stored Power set with it's ability is nice, especially if you give it some kind of recovery. Really large move pool so there's a lot you can do with it. I haven't used it really in its Terastilized form so I can't speak for that, but it's a versatile little turtle.
