Yo Kevin, the protect and wide guard interaction from game 2nd is the opposite of what you said. Wide guard>Protect does reduce protect chance. but you can totally Protect>Wide guard guaranteed.
Great team but given this team's main damage dealers are hard countered by Rillaboom, just my preference would be to use Sludgebomb on Amoonguss, just a personal preference though!
Something I find funny is in the anime we see Palafin shooting his "hands" when he jet punches... so technically it shouldn't hurt him when they spiky shield or have rocky helmet since they are just bubbles he makes into fists lol.
@@luigimanzelli3786 but that’s why I always make that mistake!!!! 🤣🤣 it’s a stick that’s hitting me! And t should take rocky helmet damage! lol I’m with you. It was just nice to see I’m not the only one that does that when I play Pokemon
It’s terribly frustrating that Pokémon decided to roll out the legendaries so early, especially Urshifu. Palafin has one of the funnest quirks in all of Pokemon.
Palafin do be having 30 more atk than Shifu and also a LOT more bulk, even tho hitting through protect makes up for most of this stuff, Palafin is still a beast, kinda suffering from 4 moves syndrome tho.
@@crappyspidersucksthemost it’s moveset isn’t terrible. I usually go for a bulk up/drain punch set with clear amulet or punching glove. I also feel like water Tera is bad considering the electric and grass types running around
@@zashinunes8191 yeah it’s gonna be grass because it makes both your weaknesses then resistances. Water Tera is nice if you want to do stupid damage but Palafin Hero isn’t a glass cannon and it has a base 160 attack as is
I am relativly sure that you always succeed with wide guard, just that protecting after wide guard can fail.
Wide guard never fails. If you wide guard then protect, there's a 30% chance the protect works
5:22 That was big brain move. I loved it!
That Kevin luck was *extreme* in that second game.
That protect had Kevin HEATED 😂

Gotcha I knew it was one of the two ways
I learned this through experience with Garganacl. Love that golden stalling boy.
Ngl game 3 was looking like a loss but that incredible read was just the flip turn you needed 😁

I agree
Good for Rillas and Pons plus Grass terra Pokémon that want the Spore immunity
Ice Beam on Kyogre could be great too

That’s exactly the kind of minuscule buffs it needs if GameFreak ever expects it to keep up in a format with Urshifu.
That baby palafin 1 shot on the flutter was wild
The classic flutter mane answer baby palafin
Flutter has no defense my guy
Dolphin being soul survivor is very clutch, I used to hate on it but I have long been converted to the dolphin faith. Well done brother
Thanks!
Fun matches on this one
Your videos are awesome! I love the consistency💪💪🔥
There I am Gary, There I am!
High horsepower had an accuracy of 95 so it hits almost everytime. Same as icy wind
That final o pulse miss really was the last nail in the coffin. What a battle still
What's the purpose of okidogi?
36:59 if jet punch is a priority move, then why not click that into ice calyrx instead of flip turn?
I don't believe wide guard can fail after consecutive uses like protect
cant understand the thought process in 2nd and 3rd match. it's an araquanid, of course it is going to carry wide guard
The thought process was that he had multiple opportunities to click it turns earlier but didn’t.
Im just glad Kevin mentioned rocket helmet damage on Ogrepon from ivy cudgel. Thats a mistake I make sometimes. Hes just like me 🤣🤣
to be fair Ivy Cudgel really seems like it should be a contact move, especially when stuff like Grass Knot is :D

alt title: I forgot how much damage araquanid does =O
Awesome video
Always good to see a Gen 9 mon get some spot light in there games Meta
That last game was a nail biter, especially after the loss in the second game! Super fun to watch!

Didn’t even have to tell me to stick around after that second battle I was going to be here til the end 💪
You can protect then wide guard but you can’t wide guard then protect
0:48 Why would you want any other ability anyways tho
Miss having a Mike video every once in a while. Where ya at Mike?! 😂
The big funni fish and funni fish-shaped Mammal!
50 days since Kevin used a Psyduck team!!
never change
Damn it's almost been 2 months
@pokesports i dont think your 'hat' filters are working correctly on your merch site
Are there any other Pokemon that can pair well with the Dolphin?
Any other Prankster mon that can do rain dance, any fast mon that can rain dance if it wanted too, and maybe Corvinight

I love pally, but jeez protect tore him up
I thought they would go for Spiky Shield too.
Thats not how wide guard works anymore brother
Just first impressions but I feel like there’s better sets for Palafin
It's move set is relatively limited. Haze and wave crash is all it gets other than this no?
@@crappyspidersucksthemost it’s moveset isn’t terrible. I usually go for a bulk up/drain punch set with clear amulet or punching glove. I also feel like water Tera is bad considering the electric and grass types running around
@@kaptainkaijuwhat's the best tera them?
Grass of course, the super effective moves on the water type, will do no damage when you Tera Grass
@@zashinunes8191 yeah it’s gonna be grass because it makes both your weaknesses then resistances. Water Tera is nice if you want to do stupid damage but Palafin Hero isn’t a glass cannon and it has a base 160 attack as is
Every video you’re using the kroger brother
Great!!
Slitherwing can ohko rilla with first impression.
Bruh, you feelin' good? You seemed off today, like you're sick or something (or maybe just tired?)
just tired, recorded this late at night :) Appreciate the concern tho.
I use palafin with Meridon. Return palifin and volt switch out.
Less than a minute gang
Less than 3 hour gang ...
Always reminded why it fell off. Always on the defensive.
Game 3 lol
💪
One of the easiest likes I’ve ever given
Psyduck since now many days need to be put to bed. Enough
I think you're just upset because psyduck pushed you into the water a year ago. Evidence found on your yt channel.
@PokesportsPod hahah I have never gotten over that 😂
