I have seen my friend weaponize the Nickname meta game. He named all his mons after what their sets actually are, except for one in order to build up trust in his opponent before revealing it was all a jape.
I run silvally flying in a team, and i named it silvally water because its the one it looks like the most It has worked multiple times, but its not as gamer as the Arceus flying named arceus steel
i had a team where all the mons nicknames were moves they didn't have (opponent was like "lol why are you revealing this") so same principle but not executed near as flawlessly as your genius friend. kudos.
Naming sub bd komo big clang shot is the mons equivalent of that guy who got banned from yugioh events for playing a swordsoul token to "make his opponent think he's playing swordsoul"
Finding your channel feels like discovering a 10/10 show on Netflix that’s already five seasons deep. I get to binge watch some of the best Pokémon content known to man and wonder aloud how each video doesn’t have 10 times more views.
I made dragmag back in the day with scarf magneton because it outspeeds regular greninja, but it had flying types instead of drag, so it was more like birdmag also, in regards to weaponising nicknames, there was a sick baton pass team in gen 5 that named all the mons some other mon on the team, so that it was easy to forget which pokemon you were facing when it was behind a sub
Shell smash rapid spin is the most effective hyper-offense spin out there bc it forces them to the bunkers-the counter-and they abandon the hazard war. Extra props if you explode at the end.
i don't watch a lot of competitive pokemon cause it doesn't interest me so much but you are genuinely hilarious so now i guess i'm learning comp pokemon meta
I once named an amoonguss in an ffa “spore sub prot hex” but half of the moves are just lying” of course i also have ffa team where that actually is its set but since i most play with friends its just like “yeah now pretend i have six moves or you get fucked”
I love your videos so much. But I will never understand running Shell Smash and Spikes on Cloyster. Like wasting a turn to boost your stats just to then set one layer of Spikes feels like it'd be better spent with laying Spikes with a Custap Berry and hoping you get hit the correct amount. So that's my criticism on this Sword and Shield team.
im one of the few that watches these videos that gets all of your references rofl, like you played friends by ween which is one of my favs and then u mentioned the fking voynich manuscript, funny part is that i dont understand pokemon at all but i started playing gen 1 random battles cuz of your ubers video fsadasdas
@@HumanReverend tbh massive respect for using anything from that deeply underrated soundtrack. It's little touches like this that set your channel apart. :D I love it.

You’re like an unhinged Freezai I love it
this is the best compliment I've gotten since that guy said I sounded like Brian posehn
@@HumanReverend I wonder if TH-cam will let you change your name to "Unhinged Freezai" for a day or something
Just found this guy, probably the most accurate way to explain him haha

Lmao that's diabolical. Magneton was legit better than magnezone in gen 6 imo. Scarf magneton was also barely faster than talonflame
That isn't BirdMag, that's Bird Up! The Worst Team on Smogon
all my apes couldn't save me
big fan of shellsmash rapidspin
Shell smash into any move that doesn't do damage is a mind game

I've never seen Joey Chestnut and reverend in the same room together
they must never know my glizzy slinging ability

it's funny when the little bugs hit each other
not the drag show I was expecting
probably should have named the video this tbh
@@HumanReverend gotta start workshopping
@@HumanReverend oh wow now it IS named that magic
reverend lost media

Pops you legit make my day
I do it all for u
2:43 the nickname thing is really funny. I have a battle bond ash greninja in gen 7 named “protean is busted!” Just for mind games
Wait these videos are actually good wtf is happening
they're ok
I've been watching more and now it's getting funny seeing that goofy krabby just being a scoundrel
naming every member of your voltturn team various slurs in the hope that one of them will tilt your opponent
Naming my heatran "every star wars movie is identical in quality"
@@HumanReverend You can also try political slogans
Good ween reference. Didn't expect it.
I just saw ween for the first time in NC! One of the best concerts I've ever been to
Dunking Magnezone in the garbage, it's time for DraconicRocket
magnezone is mechanically the most boringest pokemon they ever made
This dude hasn’t played Mother 3 ‼️
I haven't seen a Dragmag team since Gen 5.
6:27 he actually saw the future, damn
The way it priority teleported into my right hand
The word teleport is going to forever trigger PTSD for me now
“Heyyyyy, s’pretty good”
Sounds familiar
Wouldn’t the 5th s been skill link?
the 5th s could also be "suicide lead" or "spelled not how you think it is"

It’s because sometimes you can maybe kill something instead of spiking

>The fucking Eternal Duelist Soul OST
is that eternal duelist soul music? love it

9/10 for content-use Ishizu Ishtar's theme instead of Kaiba's for full 10/10.
I just used kaiba's bc three dragons
