@mainganson4069 there's no way it could be balanced unless there is also a ability that lowered speed by 1 stage like intimidate. It's because the only way to counter would be sticky web, which you could exploit by running defiant or competitive. It'd be too meta defining and would stifle the selection of mons in lower tiers
Brambleghast is pretty sick. I run a Trap & Diminish set w Infestation/ Leech Seed/ Strength Sap/ Phantom Force (or Rapid Spin, even Spikes). Trap something that has limited options or one of the moves Wind Rider protects and chew on Leftovers and Leech Seed recovery. You can use Tailwind turns and Phantom Force to evade attacks while dealing damage each turn. I've even used Curse too. It works pretty well as a Stall Pkmn w the right matchups.
That first registeel match was doorknob to doorknob communication right there... Rocks setup, tests out a move for minimal damage, leftovers recovery, immediately dip... In sync.
Pokemon has always been weird to me. They made this Pokemon Slow but yet clearly in the Anime it's depicted as fast, it's one of those "Ninja-esk" pokemon that shouldn't be slow and it takes inspiration from the Tengu. Shiftry is also characterized as a Guardian of the forest, mysterious and strong enough to level houses with the flap of it's fans due to wind pressure. it don't look or sound like it should be slow. Wind Rider makes sense as it's known for powerful gust of winds.
Exactly. Pokémon just needs a big rebalance with stats all together to make most of them viable. I’m tired of comp being the same moms, ruins the game esp when they’re in the 1000s now
@@MarquinchMogule yea but what would be the point in most Pokemon being completely equal? And with the aforementioned 1000, it's extremely hard to make some Pokemon stronger than others, but not "too much stronger" like you're insisting Like I said, just isn't possible anymore
Dusknoir really said "enough with you Toxic Orb bullshittery". It feels so good to see a Gliscor owned and ended by the item that's supposed to keep it alive.
@@jmacosta Lmao he coulda Ice Punched twice- But nah, that Poltergeist was as personal as it was disrespectful! And who can blame him! x D Haydunn will tell you he hates Gliscor sets.
I love Banded Noir so much. Highly recommend picking up Shadow Sneak over the Focus Punch. The priority feels really great, and the band makes it a surprisingly good cleanup Mon.
I use terra fire myself because a physical fire type attack is so deadly and honestly sucker punch never gets used for me because priority isn’t that important for me when shiftry already outspeeds a lot of pokemon in wind rider.
Edit 3:50 - Welp, I should've just watched for another minute... 😶 3:12 - Just wanted to point out since I assume an Oricorio video may be coming in the future, Tera Blast is redundant on an Oricorio, unless you're a mad man and run it next to H-Liligant for a Victory Dance boost, as Revelation Dance is coded to match the First Type of the Pokemon using it (instead of actually being tied the Oricorio Form) meaning it'll have its base Stab Typing of whatever form (or Pokemon using it incase of Hackmons) then also change to match any Tera Type in the event you decide to Tera the Oricorio. On top of that also having 90 Base Power making it 10 points stronger than Tera Blast, Tailwind/Taunt/Defog is a quite good 4th Move as a surprise Tera Dark Oricorio can really screw the momentum of a Prankster user expecting to Taunt a Quiver Dance away. Imo from my experience for Offensive Oricorio, I run many a Dancer Sweep Teams in Doubles (side note almost nobody is aware that Clangorous Soul counts as a Dance Move 😈), the best Typing is Sensu (Ghost) Form to dissuade Fake Outs then Tera Ground to gain that Ground/Flying benefits (potentially null incoming Electric attacks) as well a 90 BP Stab Ground hit to the opponent's unexpected Ground Weak or assumed Ghost Resisted Pokemon.
My absolute favourite pokemon of all time! Absolute favourite pokemon here! Chlorophyll shiftry has always been amazing but wind rider is very fun now and I love when people get confused when it doesn’t get hit from heat waves
I have seen that Rampardos set on another channel, assuming the same concept (on said channel it's a life orb) they're running It's ability is sheer force... it's not a special attacker, but with gloking's chilly reception it gets 100% accurate blizzard that hits common "safe switch" gliscor/lando (or a cocky d-nite willing to boost) on the special side with a quad effective sheer force boosted blizzard... Most people wouldn't expect a glass cannon rock type to be running blizzard, or even know it learns blizzard, much less expect it to be 1HKOing a physically defensive monster like gliscor... It's definitely niche, but would feel AMAZING if you got it to work in a game
today i learned rev dance does in fact take your tera typing into account. i never even considered that! thats kinda crazy but it does make sense when you think about it
16:26 this is so trippy: my own shiftry is actually named Oberon because of Shakespeare’s King of the Fairies character in Midsummer Night’s Dream. It fits shiftry waaay more than iron valiant tbh.
Really glad to see good news videos featuring Torterra and Shiftry as they're two of my favorites. Sadly I don't think my Vespiquen will ever get a spotlight with that atrocious bug flying typing :< praying they change the type charts with the next game considering they at least did a substantial upgrade to ice type it at least gives me hope for bug.
Oh man! Yes! Nocturne is so awesome! And highly underrated! When he got Wind Rider, I knew that was a game changer! Fun story: back when the Jinns were throwing around the Storm moves, they didnt know about Wind Rider, and you best believe I was running w that! Its just an amazing Ability on an awesome Pokemon! Mine ran F. Sash, of course, w Tailwind, Knock Off, Leaf Storm, and Fake Out, in Doubles w Grassy Terrain support. It was amazing how many times ppl would click Blizzard, Heat Wave, or Hurricane! I like the power on your Leaf Blade! Now I kinda want to run a Singles priority Shiftry w Grassy Glide and Hurricane! Its just such a versatile and highly underrated Pkmn- 0% Usage?! Breaks my heart lol more for us! And you know that Thumbnail is 🔥🔥🔥doing Shiftry a solid service sir!
@@dustindean4618 You know, I think you're right? : D Lol! Leaf Storm is huge; I like running a mixed set, but if you go full phys invested, I could see Aerial Ace putting in solid work! That 50% boost from G.Terrain is just enough for Leaf Storm to shred, since most things hit effectively are usually SpDef weak. I could see an A. Ace set making a tear! Good call out! I'll have to try it, ty!
@@MythX_StoryTeller going mixed is just pointless, especially going with Wind Rider, cause well Wind Rider is going to increase attack, so Leaf Blade, Knock off/ Throat Chop and Aerial Ace and Tailwind is just great, Special with Energy Ball, Dark Pulse, Heat Wave and Nasty Plot
@@dustindean4618 nah I'd have to respectfully disagree! Mainly cause it works w my team comp but also cause I wouldnt say it's pointless. You're always just one burn, type match up, or Intimidate away from losing buffs on it. The Leaf Storm works w G Terrain for my team, so that's rly all it is. I've got other Grass coverage, so I'm not hurting for using Leaf Storm. Its pulled some surprising shenanigans, so I wouldn't knock mixed completely! Its solid use! Tbf, what you suggest is solid too! I think we can agree this dude is versatile, which is sick!
Snoopy's dog 😂😂😂 perfect nickname👌omg that makes me feel old keep up the good work boss my old lady hates my video game addiction and she even doesn't mind listening to your commentary while I'm geekin out at work😂😉🤙✌️
The first opponent has a team that resembles Haydunn's. It is very good seeing someone not using Uber monsters such as Palafin, Mankey evolution, Espathra, etc.
Politoad with tera ground, running earth power, weather ball, hyper voice and encore, holdint the throat spray, with max health and defense with a lonely nature is a surprising sweeper. Weatherball doubles to 100 power amd then gains stab on top of that. And earth power for electric types, i think youd like this set, been sweeping my fruend with it
Pokemon keeps moving and changing it was already complicated enough back when i use to play competitively on black and white 2 now theres so much more hurts my brain still looks like fun though good to see my favourite poketuber still dropping quality content 🔥
Yeah that Rampardos threw me off big time lol. Wait, what is that mon's base SpA? Thanks as always for the content, and I would ask for Scrafty video again but realized you actually did a video a while back soooo yeah lol. Have a good one dude.
4:29 good to know I’m not the only some donated who still makes roomie mistakes 💀 I mean each game they change the meta & game mechanics it’s hard to keep up and remember everything I don’t know about other players 🤧😂😮💨
I found your channel by watching your video on Electivire, I was wondering if you could make another video with him?Definitely enjoying the longer videos. :)
I'm too nerdy and nitpicky, I know, but I wanted to thank you. You were the first poketuber ever to correct yourself when saying "free switch" just after losing a mon. It just always felt weird to me, and now I feel vindicated.
that info with revelation dance would be a good showcase idea . Changing into a different type and then using the revelation dance can catch some people off guard
The Rampardos using Blizzard is one of the las things I would have imagined, the Shiftry absorbing said Blizzard is the cherry on top.
That unironically makes the bad plays in the first match forgiven
Ngl if I were running Blizzard Rampardos to encounter (and forget about) Wind Rider shiftry my brain would Error 404.
Dude, watch justweavile's vid on rampardos, he uses blizzard aswell to counter gliscor and lando t
Are you telling me blizzard rampardos is an actual thing?
Yeah, it's actually a mixed Rampados set with LifeOrb, basically revolves around Trick Room
Bro really named him “The grimleafer” and I’m here for it lmao 😂
Whenever I hear "petered out" I just think of the wind making a Peter Griffin laugh as it goes away.
Omg 😂 I wish it did that lmao
Shiftry finally getting the Saiyan treatment that its design deserves
fr pretty cool design objectively speaking since shiftry isn't in my list of favorite pokemon
Annihilape is the real saiyan, i even name him broly in pogo 😂
Wind Rider really walked up to Chlorophyll and said, "Hold my beer"
But no abilities in pokemon can set up Tailwind on entry, at least not released yet.
I wonder if Jumpluff will get it one day.
@@bradensmith8682 yeah, and nintendo can balance it by making the Tailwind caused by the ability lasts for only 2-3 turns.

It's because the only way to counter would be sticky web, which you could exploit by running defiant or competitive. It'd be too meta defining and would stifle the selection of mons in lower tiers
Literally you could run ogrepon grass, empoleon, kingambit, with trick room creselia, and galarian slowking.
That Registeel staring contest at the beginning was great, especially since they both walled each other.
Literally the Spider-Man meme with the Registeels
Lols right. Even more with the old sprite
Brambleghast is so forgettable that Wind Rider feels like Shiftry’s signature ability.
Wait... It isnt?-
Brambleghast just cursed by shallow move pool 🥲
Brambleghast is pretty sick. I run a Trap & Diminish set w Infestation/ Leech Seed/ Strength Sap/ Phantom Force (or Rapid Spin, even Spikes).

Brambleghast? What's that? Never heard of that. Nope! Totally! Wind rider is CLEARLY Shiftry's Signature ability. No wonder Kieran has one!
Haydunn please make Bambleghast viable
"By the grace of Arceus" Oh my god, definitely a solid chuckle from that

wait a second I recognize that last team. JustWeavile with the Blizz Rampardos
I love Banded Noir so much. Highly recommend picking up Shadow Sneak over the Focus Punch. The priority feels really great, and the band makes it a surprisingly good cleanup Mon.
Shiftry, Dusknoir,...on the same team!? It's like this was made for me! All that's missing is my boi Umbreon!😂
Rock Slide's worth using for coverage, and potential flinch if you're running wind rider too.
