A Retrospective Look at Regulation H
มุมมอง 21K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
Regulation H has come to a close. With Regulation G around the corner I decided to take a retrospective look at Regulation H. It was a very unique format being halfway through a games lifecycle and introducing bans to many common Pokémon, the metagame turned out partly as expected but also partly unexpected. Today we go over how the meta played out, including what Pokémon and what players perfo...

16:10 Ursaluna is actually at -3 Sp.Def because of a psychic drop
Oh dang, can't believe I missed that!
That was great.
AMAZING VIDEO ANALYSIS! I don’t play VGC but this was really entertaining and informative for me, I felt like I am in the heart of the decision making
Such a good format, such a great video. Good stuff!
39:09 I'm kinda bad at the game so idk if that's a good thing or nah but couldn't Marco do like rage powder + trick room followed by fake out on kingdra + trick room again? The first trick room reverts the order back to normal and makes both of Marco's Pokémon faster than Wolfe's. To avoid kingdra being KO'd Wolfe had to bring in Politoed, so the Fake out + trick room play makes it so that the speed order becomes Poli-P2-Incin-Kingdra. In this spot Marco can try to KO Kingdra and go for a Recover + Triattack end game against a damaged Goth and Poli. What am I missing from this line?
It's a difficult endgame for sure. I see your logic of setting TR then reversing it as tailwind ends. But Wolfe could just protect kingdra on the fake out turn and switch in politoed the next turn for speed advantage on kingdra. And Marco would be eating 2 psychics in the meantime using TR twice.
This was a well thought out video really loved it looking forward to more
Can we look at another vgc battle feat Ray vs gebebo vgc 2010 side event?
I'll have to check it out
I personally really really loved reg H and I hope something similar to it comes back for future gens. I remember really trying to make primarina work (it sucks lmao too fast and weak to be a trick room sweeper, too slow and not bulky enough to be a utility pick) experimenting with hisuian decidueye, adjusting rain teams, having a lot of fun with sun room (my favourite team personally) and adjusting to the rapidly evolving metagame. Every week felt fresh, it felt like the format was never truly solved and it wouldn't be for some time. I could play an entire year of reg H and not get bored vs begging reg G to just end already after a month.
I felt the same about reg H, always was fresh!
Im gonna miss this format and the weather wars (the primals does not count)
the use of the word "neuter" is kind of gross, bro. Consider expanding your vocabulary to not talk about removing genitals as a synonym for 'defeat.'
When using the word as a verb one of the definitions is "render ineffective; deprive of vigor or force." which I think is perfectly applied to the situation. But in retrospect I can understad that the other definition came to mind. So it's not me using it as a synonym here but just the definition of the word in that context.
@@TheDelybird Thanks for the clarification and your insight in both pokes and other choices. Have a great day.
meteors of the draconic origin care not about the weather lmfao xDXDXD
1:45 if that’s true then Showdown is bugged/set up wrong because I have lost weather control multiple times to my Torkoal being switched out by intimidate before Drought activates while using this team.
Showdown is bugged unfortunately. It's a known bug with no current plans to fix:(
Jumpluff would be insane with Spore
This whole video gives me JJK narrator vibes like you're narrating Gojo vs Sukuna or something like that. Really appreciate the high-quality content!
Haha thanks, I've never watched that show but that's the second comment saying my narration is similar. I'll have to check it out!
39:10 Poor jumpluff, he brought the sun and died for it, and the sun prevents the kingdra from freezing
This is such a high quality in depth video, thank you for this. earned a lifetime sub 👍
Thanks! Glad to have ya around.
This video was phenomenal! Loved the analysis. Every turn there's always so much to think about
Thanks! I love analyzing high level matches, game really is so complex.
10/10 video, thank you!
Insenaly good content man. It's great to watch, not just boring move by move, but full and fun explanation. The simple animations on start are also nice to look at. Hope more people will see it.
Hope you keep making more of these! Great analysis!
31:05 Influential*
Dang, thought I had all the spelling right time time. 😅
39:19 One thing to note is that Pokemon cannot be frozen while in harsh sunlight. But this is such a niche mechanic that it'd be understandable for even high-level players to forget that and go for freezing as an out if they have no other options. And after Politoed came back in, Marco did have that 10% chance again.
Fantastic analysis brother🎉
U-Turn and Volt Switch type moves are my personal favorite moves in the game, Marco's team sounds like it'd be fun to play
It was very unique but much more complex than it looked.
Just watched both of your two most recent videos and I loved both of them. I'd love to see more content like this in the future!
I'll keep it comin!
This has to be one of my favourite VGC breakdowns of all time. I really like the style with the Pokémon commenting on their situation. Would love to see other breakdowns with this style. How long did this video take you?
Thanks, means a lot to hear that! Most of my videos take about 1hr of work per minute. This one maybe a bit less because a lot of the footage was gameplay. So probably 30 hours.
this is amazing the visuals are fun and the way u explain what the players are probably thinking is super informative
Great analysis Loved it
Freeze is not possible when sun is up
These guys should try tekken
This is great content. Good analysis turn by turn, good humor, I hope you blow up with views and subs. This is good VGC content
Thanks! Appreciate it
39:23 correct me if I'm wrong, but freeze wasn't possible since you can't freeze a pokemon if sun is up no?
You are correct! My mistake, thanks for pointing out!
Have u ever competed? Out of curiosity
Yep! I placed 50th at Hartford 2023, 63rd at Orlando 2024 and 100th at Louisville 2025. I wish I could attend more events but I have no locals in my area and flying out to regionals is a big cost.
