Second that Haydunn, you are an absolute GOAT for providing this much consistent quality content. It’s definitely one of the highlights of my day when a new vid drops! Hopefully this isn’t too hard for you to produce; take care of yourself!
Loving watching these, even tho I don't really play Pokemon that much any longer. Haydunn's commentary is very good + it's interesting to see the changes Gamefreak makes in competitive
Sometimes the featured pokemon of the battle feels like a stretch when another member of the team gets more screen-time. That was not the case today. Sceptile was without a doubt the STAR of these two battles. That sweep in game 1 was absolutely astonishing, I couldn't believe how lucky you got.
I love that "on this side of the Mississippi" has become a catchphrase of yours. It's a bit of a dated saying, but that's part of what makes it so great. It makes me crack a smile every time
Bro these 2 matches were insane. Sceptile just got it's broom out and swept the entire floor with both teams, no Tidy up. Love the content and amazing teams you come up with. Also 2nd match is hilarious. It looked as if a fan was trying one of your teams and got greeted by queuein up with you and decided to try out your own team against you lmao
Man, this is one of the luckiest games i’ve ever witnessed. First, he lands a scorching sands and burns turn 1, then he gets lucky as his opponent expected a switch and used knock off, removing what could’ve been a liability and basically granting a burn. Then, he lands a fire blast. Not to mention him not getting fully paralyzed for the entire match, and being paired against deoxys-defense to swords dance to +4. Overall, it was a fun and lucky game, and yeah, i think this is the perfect way to showcase sceptile’s return and new strength.
Ive been messing around with a sceptile that uses a power herb to fire off a solar blade turn one, which triggers unburden and enables acrobatics. And then i also run leafstorm if i need more grass firepower since sceptile’s spatk is actually really good. And then also eq for coverage
Correction at 3:28 when you said that grassy terrain reduces ground damage it only reduces damage of earthquake but no other ground move is affected by grassy terrain
Here it is! i knew a video about sceptile would be great! I Honestly feel like i really Am learning something by watching these. i don't know why you're not a more popular poke-tuber. you make complicated strategies seem easily digestible and have great commentary. even a casual like me (albiet im trying to get a bit more skilled via pokemon Emerald Rogue) can enjoy and learn from the videos! Haydunn really is a man of the people, honestly. its great to see and im happy that he seems to be having a blast with it. in other news, Under the right conditions grass starters seem to be really Underrated compared to most fire and water starters and it's honestly shocking to see. i was always one of those people who picked the fire type in *every* game even if it was the 4th fire fighting (Cough Emboar Cough.) In any case, great video, great work, and i hope that you're having a blast with these! *with a couple of content creators elsewhere leaving the sphere, i think its really important to remember that you should be having fun too with this, Haydunn! If it ever gets too stressful don't be afraid to give yourself the break you need!* If anyone else is reading, hit the like button to give Haydunn a *round* of applause!... A *Round* of applause! Get it? Because the move round- alright i'll show myself the door.
Dude I really love how you’ve committed to the daily uploads and every single one is a banger. Is there somewhere we can copy paste your teams into showdown and try em out? Kinda like how pokeaim does
I've always loved this Pokémon, probably my favorite starter. I love that it gets shed tail and I've had a lot of fun abusing shed tail plus giga drain or leech seed. It's not the greatest thing to ever exist, but it's been really fun because people forget you can do it and when you're fast setting up the seeds to then switch out and leave a sub for something else like a focus punching golurk? Kind of fun
Hands down one of my favorite channels. You have always been entertaining but the way you have made small changes even with the intro does not go unnoticed thanks for your hard work
Yooo my last comment was a quip about you making a birthday joke, but it's actually your birthday upon recording this! Happy birthday, man! Been loving your videos, both for the cutting edge strategy and really clever turns of phrase during the commentary 😂 Cheers, my friend 🥳
fyi, GrassyTerrain doesnt half the damage of all ground type moves, just specifically Earthquake/Bulldoze/Magnitude,, EarthPower was going at full strength at 3:30 :]
Can we get a team centered around the new Mythical Pokemon? Maybe with all the DLC monsters in one team like, Orerpon, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti along with the Mythical and another Mon
I've been meaning to point out that the grassy terrain doesn't reduce all earth type damage. In fact, it only affects earthquake and bulldoze (previously also magnitude, when it was in the game), so it didn't affect earth power at all.
My favorite pokemon of all time! So glad to see it again. I wish it would get some realy nice sound based move, so it could take advantage of throat spray + unburden
@@StarforceSF it WOULD in theory have activated regardless if it hit or missed or failed, however I've just now learned grass whistle was one of the many moves culled from the game during Gen 8
@@NaskaRudd Never mind then.... I guess you have to go with screech.... which however only reduces physical defense. Imagine if it could learn metal sound or bug buzz
There’s no chance the second player didn’t watch your Malamar video because only Hayden could come up with something as ridiculous and awesome as sticky web + court change + contrary = sweep
I dont know but sometimes, i just play and listen to your videos while i work yer i still understand and imagine what is happening. you're really my fave poke trainer in youtube!!!
Well done Sceptile! 👏 Very nice showing ❤ Getting 6 turns in a row not being paralysed isn’t actually too unlikely. Just a bit under 18%. The hax were most assuredly in your favour, but about the same odds as rolling a 6 on a 6-sided die 😜 I’ve been waiting to see how you’ve built that Rhyperior! Such a strange pokémon - and even stranger to see it built for special attack! I’d love to see more of it! 😂
Can you do a video on how to beat baton pass, substitute, spore and moody Smeargle? They just wait for their stats to boost and then switch into one that has stored power. It’s annoying.
Sandy Shocks:
"you're paralyzed!"
Sceptile:
"Idgaf"
😂😂😂
"Sceptile is paralyzed, so it may be unable to move!"
Sceptile: "I disagree."
Sceptile: Im unburdened
Deoxys*
The whole Psychic Terrain strat is very interesting. Activating his Unburden and preventing priority is so cool.
Awesome
Also nice to see the seeds being used. I like those items. Should have been affected by Harvest.
These daily uploads are outrageously consistent and we super appreciate it, thanks for the ridiculous amount of content lately, congrats on the 300k

I like to use endure leichi berry unburden acrobatics, very fun
"is it viable? probably not. Is it fun and stupid? yes." Laughed out loud!
Sceptile is out here merely pretending to be paralyzed.
Rhyperior gets crazy coverage because it's Rhydon's evolution, and Rhydon gets lots of love from the devs as it was THE LITERAL FIRST POKEMON EVER 🤯😂
The paralyze break through 5 times in a row like you had some REAL loaded dice was wild xD Also tanking things I just could not believe-
I love that "on this side of the Mississippi" has become a catchphrase of yours. It's a bit of a dated saying, but that's part of what makes it so great. It makes me crack a smile every time
Shiny Sceptile is cosplaying Feraligatr hahaha
Special Rhyperior? That's a treat.
And aww yeah that fire blast! It's always a flex.
That nickname: drillionaire
Totally boss.
rhyperior taking our rillaboom is too funny
Head Smash is so strong it killed two Rmapardos in the same move.

300k baby! Kudos mate, well deserved. The quality and consistency of your uploads show that the only way is up!
I foresaw this lol and it’s why I was waiting for the DLC to use unburden Sceptile. Flatter in doubles is great with mirror herb too.
I wish Sceptile's Special movepool was at least half as diverse as its Physical.
Air Slash and Earth Power would’ve been great
It should also get Hyper Voice for unburden + Throat Spray shenanigans 😆
Absolutely loving the two battle vids! Keep up the good work homie, but don't burn yourself out, we love ya
Dude I really love how you’ve committed to the daily uploads and every single one is a banger.
Is there somewhere we can copy paste your teams into showdown and try em out? Kinda like how pokeaim does
That second match really shows why strategy doesn’t mean everything, it also takes skill
Anyone saying that Sceptile is Paralyzed is a liar.
Sceptile is my favorite Pokémon from that generation. Thank you for using it. I might steal your team lol
Spent the past few hours working out this build and my boy haydunn has already gone and done it. Hay! Already Dunn
[Hay]! Already [Dunn]
Smart minds think alike 🧐
an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
a head for a head makes all the Rampardos extinct
Bro I’m loving the consistent uploads, and having 2 battles each video! When’s the next playthrough / nuzlocke?
Christmas may be over but Hayden is providing us with gifts in the form of Sceptile sweeps! You love to see it!
Going against your own tactics is scary but also kinda fun
The “I thought hurricane season was over” is an ELITE reference.

i don't believe grassy terrain halves earth power damage. it was the bug typing that allowed spider to survive
Seeing a rilaboom lose to a special rhyperior is crazy
The mon nicknames are always the best part
Knew a Sceptile vid was coming after he totally finessed Rampardos’ spotlight in the last video
Sceptile needs his att stats switched. Shame it has been done yet 😑
I feel weird that Sceptile is clearly a melee fighter/sword user and Shiftry is a fan/wind power user but their stats say otherwise LOL
Please tell me you don’t still have hope for that to happen
mega sceptile Z be like
Sceptile taking down the Deoxys reminds me of when Ash’s Sceptile did that in the anime
Imagine getting whooped by a crippled tree
"no more fuckin around, i'm bringing in the giraffe" i lost it lmao
The earthquake to take down the giraffe made me laugh so hard. It’s so unexpected that things would work out so well. Hilarious and amazing.
fyi, GrassyTerrain doesnt half the damage of all ground type moves, just specifically Earthquake/Bulldoze/Magnitude,, EarthPower was going at full strength at 3:30 :]

Saw 'ol dozerface on your team in the second video, but you never even sent him out. I demand a Bastiodon video as compensation.
these videos make my inner child jump for joy lmao

Daily content that's not from Showdown. Great stuff, man. Keep it up. (Unless you can't or life happens.)
We have sneazler at home ah mon
Haydunn you have quickly become my favorite poketuber. Great creative teams and funny lines. I love it.
Sceptile is secretly Limber in that first match! 😂
Congrats on 300k Hayden! Your edits and commentary are top-notch as expected ❤! Love the unconventional teams!!!!

The prophecy foretold of this day...leafy boi cometh.
“Who’s supposed to out-speed these dang ancient magnets” cracked me up
Sceptile: who are you?
Meowscarada: i am you but better
Web court change is awesome
When you finally get a taste of your own medicine, but you're already immuned.
that 1 HP Sceptile caught them off guard for sure
Se Ptolemy went hard! Hope to see some more let’s plays
Sceptile was my first starter, and the only Pokémon I soft reset to get shiny and actually got, this is awesome that he’s getting some lovin 🎉
My prayers were answered 🙌🏻
I liked the White Herb and Court Change with Sticky Webs version more.
bro's thunder wave was broken 😭

Sceptile, paralyzed: Call an ambulance, BUT NOT FOR ME
I used your team and man the Mala video was so fun and it's an amazing strategy I love your videos man
I feel like the Hoenn starters are the best in this gen. All of em got something going for them
I can never get enough of your vids
just wanna say ive been enjoying your videos, they do a good job at highlighting the cool things about the pokemon of topic
The Haydunn strat is becoming meta 🤣🤣
Gotta say, watching you fight against a team you shown off using before in the second match was wild 😂 that's some really great content
Great vid goat keep em coming
Sceptile really be like : I will never get knocked down. Come on.
I dont know but sometimes, i just play and listen to your videos while i work yer i still understand and imagine what is happening. you're really my fave poke trainer in youtube!!!
Man, facing Drayton's Sceptile was a nasty wake-up call to how good it is...
Anyway, love your work!
"I thought Hurricane season was over"
Pineapple Express reference for the win 🙏🤣🫡
I would prefer sharpness on this Pokemon rather than unburden, and switch its atk with sp atk and give it more slicing moves
i really hope eevee gets a buff. it generally just struggles with attack.
3:30 pretty sure grassy terrain only affects earthquake damage, not all ground moves.
Power of the moves Earthquake, Bulldoze & Magnitude is reduced by 50%. So it's 3 moves.
@@cartergamegeek ah ok. But either way earth power wasn’t reduced like Haydunn thought.
