    For Palafin, the thing I really want to work well with it is to do Flip Turn into Cyclizar, then use Shed Tail back into Palafin. This just seems like the best way to bring it in. And if you have a Sitrus berry on the Cyclizar, it should practically guarantee that Shed Tail will succeed. Especially if you do defensive investment with it.

    • @Endymion0021

      I would probably use Orthworm instead of cyclizar, most people know about the gimmick and if they have a faster threat on board, would probably foucs Palafin, before the switch with Flipturn, so instead hard switching to Orthworm to sponge the hit and having a slow earthquake with a partner to keep pressure up and re heal the worm would be a more aggressive aproach, which also allows palafin to take easier KOs due to the Earthquake chip once it comes back in, since Orthworm also allows for a slow shedtail, Palafin will be much harder to remove. Just my take on the team Idea.

    • @AWanderingSwordsman
      @AWanderingSwordsman Před rokem +21

      The problem is, how are you not just losing the game in those 2 turns? The enemy almost certainly grabbed speed control turn 1, and then dumped damage into palafins slot. Even if palafin gets the switch off, cyclizar is going to get exploded on the switch in. Right now we are dealing with a lot of comps that can basically win the game turn 1 and pick up double KOs with neutral damage. Like murkrow+gholdengo or indeedeeF+armarouge. That will just explode your two weak pokemon you are using in turns 1 and 2 while also killing whatever you lead with it. Maybe you manage to get palafin out, but it's not insanely bulky and is still susceptible to being killed since it has no spread pressure, and effectively no ability.

  • @reaflor91

    Thing with Palafin is that it's harder to find a niche in VGC because the moment it steps onto the field, every mon will want it dead. It's currently banned in the Smogon OU singles format, since switching is part of how you keep momentum in a 1v1 format. And that alone should give you a reason to fear it.

  • @Nameless_mixes
    @Nameless_mixes Před rokem +171

    Palafin’s biggest issue is how predictable it can be. Since you start the battle with half of your team on the field, it really incentivizes you to have Palafin out immediately. And since it needs a turn to switch out and come back in, it’s going to be easy to play around. I wonder if fazing moves or the Eject Button/Eject Pack will become commonplace in helping it switch more easily aside from just relying on Flip Turn?

      Doubles is what really hurts palafin, in singles I’ve had a lot of fun using it I flip turn into a glimmora that is holding an eject pack if the attackers is slower than palafin and also a physical attacker so I get flip turn damage and some toxic spikes then I get to immediately bring palafin back in, if it’s a special attacker or faster I just switch into whatever has the best matchup on my team, I like running drain punch on palafin for the cases when the enemy is faster than base form so I can restore my hp when it comes back

Cryo could work as somekinda supporter with light screen or reflect and slap icy wind there for speed + protect as last move (or have both l-screen and reflect but no protect?). Frosty could also works somewhat as supporter - has helping hand, icy wind, light screen, reflect, substitute, will-o-wisp and some other niche tools for specific sets.

He then brought in Psychic Surge Indeedee and that same turn his Armarogue used Expanding force, which now had Psychic Terrain and Weakness Policy boost.

    For my playthrough I used a scovillian with sunny day, growth, flamethrower and solar beam, and a speed boosting nature. Even when paralyzed he surprised me with how fast he was and swept almost everything with its stab options, which help balance each other’s weaknesses with plus 2 special in the sun.

    I was thinking about scarf Palafin so you can lead it and switch out immediately. Switching into Farigiraf seems interesting because it blocks a ton of moves including basically the whole moveset of murkrow (because of prankster), fake out, follow me and much more. Since Farigiraf has respectable bulk I think that there's a very decent synergy. Furthermore, Scarf Palafin Hero is definitely scary considering it's base attack which after the gen 9 nerf is now higher than Zacian-C without inteprid sword, and due to it's wide movepool, nothing is really safe from it

The only problem i have faced with palafin has been Gothitelle leads that just fake out palafin and the partner kills it in its lower stats forms. Sure its quite a difficult pokemon to make work compared to any other mon that thats a risk thats worth and i have seen it quite alot.

Since their lead is taunted, theyre probably gunna swap, so you get at least 1 free turn with that sub up to set up a swords dance or nasty plot, and get ready to sweep. Even more dangerous, swap into mimikyu, and get not one but TWO free swords dances, now youre a problem!

    I use Arboliva in my 2nd playthrough and it was a beast. I gave it Seed Bomb,Mega Drain and Terrain Pulse. It also has Shell Bell.
    Every time Quaquaval can't take on a pokemon,I put Arboliva in first. Arboliva uses Leech Seed first and if it gets hit, Grassy terrain will trigger. Then I will use Mega Drain if Arboliva needs to heal up and will het extra healing from the Grassy Terrain,Leech Seed and Shell bell. If Arboliva needs to take a pokemon immediately, it would use Terrain Pulse to do massive damage and heal up. Arboliva will eventually faint but will leave the Grassy Terain for Quaquaval so it can finish the rest of the pokemon.
    I don't know much of competitive pokemon and never played it but your video made me want to try it! I also don't know if Arboliva is good but I did hear that it's decent. Thanks for making these types of videos!

    Something potentially useful for Palafin is pairing it on a sun team. Palafin has perfect synergy with scovillain, and having it simply switch into it on the first turn while using sun to eliminate grass types with Torkoal and scovillain early could be strong. Once the weather goes down, the first two pokes will likely be weakened allowing for Palafin to run wild late game

Maushold has been killing me outright, but Rocky Helmet has been fun to take into physical attackers who try to hit it first.
    But if I switch to using Energy Ball on there, I'd want to do something to get Volcarona as a redirector. Figuring out how to get the best coverage out of bugs has been a phenomenal challenge in this gen, and Flame Orb Guts Heracross w/ Tera Rock + Rock Slide has been the absolute killer of the team.
