I love Banded Mence. It’s my favorite mon to use in the tier. Something about having such a versatile Choice Bander that can both threaten an OHKO on turn one, switch into everything, never be chipped or trapped, and potentially even clean late-game is so satisfying.

I agree that it’s the number one Choice Bander 100%.I honestly was never really a fan of BandGross because i like Agility much more.I also like using Band Aero alongside BandMence as a double powerful a Flying core
@@chavonjames8941 magnet rise is unfortunately relatively hard to slap onto its moveset in gen 3, in part due to the fact that the move doesn't exist in gen 3. :p Speaking of magnet rise.

But when it comes to gen 3, I absolutely LOVE leftovers on metagross. It gives it so much longevity, especially when you also pair it with protect. Its beautiful.
Hell yeah bro, good to see new content from you. For some reason, I wasn’t getting updates from TH-cam. I guess the clickbait content is working to make TH-cam start showing you off again
That intro tho 😂 Edit: From personal experience, I've enjoyed Banded Mence but I prefer Banded Tyranitar or Meta. They just hit much harder than Mence imo.
Ive subbed to the channel as I am enjoying vids as they are very eunique, not a lot of youtubers do vids on early gens in comp, so it helps me when I wanna play em, now Id just like to know if u have a discord server, if you dont I highly recommend making one

Yes, Steelix survives but it needs to be at almost full health (it is spikes affected): 252+ Atk Choice Band Metagross Explosion vs. 252 HP / 0+ Def Steelix: 226-267 (63.8 - 75.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

No no no you've got it all wrong. The title should be "Is SALAMENCE THE BEST choice band USER??!?".

How GOOD is choice band Salamence ACTUALLY?
CAN I SWEEP THE OU LADDER WITH CHOICE BAND SALAMENCE?????
This comment wins. You need the cap locks in the title and in the thumbnail
Thank you for making me appreciate not existing in the dark alternate universe where this is the case.
That was one of the greatest intros to any video I've ever seen.

Very informative, Kevin. I'd love to see the video where you roast anyone who uses Jolly Heracross.
I can do that for you no problem

Who else is even competition, really? With a band, he's a Salamenace
dang I'll have to comment on this eye-catching video title, the youtube algorithm will surely reward this
BKC THE GOAT
He actually is
Gonna need these videos even more now that I've decided to drop Gen 8 OU because I'm tired of running into the same semi-stall bullshit teams every other game
I dropped it months ago and it's only worsened with time. Thankfully we have the goat BKC to keep us entertained with old gens Pokémon stuff.
Is that what we are calling balance nowadays?

We need a video on the BKC special - modest ash gren
One year later this intro still gold
This is gonna blow up man

Your old thumbnails are fire never change

Tremendous intro.
This was a hit
Laughs in jolly zard.

I may not play much ADV, but that also appears that it has the benefit of freeing up a different Mence set.
My take: if ur mence is not jolly just delete rock slide u wont be needing it
Damn, hot take. Then make room for Refresh!
Or wish???

yeah for sure
We all know BKC’s main gen is BW

Have to disagree, bidoof is the best choice band user in adv.
Nah it’s Slaking

choice band hyper beam slaking go BLAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHH
What are your thoughts on Aero in the meta?
I'm new here. Is this the person that sometimes plays with aim?
yes sir
Al Gore Rhythm
Bkc lmao you're the best
Wow, you really need this youtube money when you make this bold move and say that mence, and not gross is the best bander.
Searching for the shade but it is well hidden
Who turned on the BKC voice for the TTS at the start
The title of the video is missing a ton of CAPS LOCK but excellent content anyway.
Why SALAMENCE is THE BEST Choice band user in ADV
After dugtrio ban to ubers, have you changed your mind about the best choice bander?
Dugtrio was not banned to Ubers in ADV.
Hear me out but choice band slaking
*Obligatory comment for algorithm witchcraft*
Excuse me did you say OHKOs SKARMORY? Can Steelix survive?
Yes, Steelix survives but it needs to be at almost full health (it is spikes affected):
