one thing I love about draft league is that you can adapt to your opponents pokemon with ultra specialized EV spreads. A spread like thund-T's could only ever exist if you know exactly what pokemon you can and cannot face. It adds so much customizability, when in i.e. ladder or touney play you'd find way more 252/252/4 spreads, simply because it's the most efficent way when you don't know what you're up against and have to be prepared for everything.
Woooooooooow was not expecting Billy to ohko gholdengo like that, amazing prep!!! Real talk though, Great playing by the both of you! unfortunate oversight but if you were to lose this way for anyone I’m glad it was gator. Now you just gotta fight for playoffs and get this run back! ggs as always, we ain’t giving up on the 3peat!!
*SPOILER SHIELD* Maaaaan, what a battle. Tight, tight, tight. That battle showed one of the most frustrating things about Pokémon: you can play the game well enough for many many turns, but one bad turn and it's all over. Very tough game :/ Props to Gator, though. That guy is tough to beat.
29:45, Correct if wrong, but couldnt you have gone into Latias instead of sacking Lycanroc cause you have Colber and outspeed? (unless u thought scarf)
GG joey,I love you and I'm always rooting for you,but I'm sorry I popped off so hard when you forgot about tera,GGS to both players,what a great game! So happy Gator still have to compete in this draft lmao
The tension of the game was off the charts this week, wp to both of you! Also half the time it felt like I was playing with you because I was internally screaming "make this play" and you'd make it. I was sweating bullets when you kept arboliva in against gholdengo despite healing wish
Gen 9 has redefined powercreep, I would recommend you start in UU or RU as they're more reminiscent of past gen OUs but with caveat of any Mon being able to change their type at will
Nah so many bad advice in the replies lol if you want to learn gen 9 ou just keep watching videos from aim, blunder, etc. Also watch lesser know guys like Blim and other high level players. Then just steal a team and start laddering you’ll eventually learn win conditions and how to build your own teams
Aw, I can understand that this means a lot to you though it’s okay to make mistakes we’re all human. Even the best of the best can have their moments The game was super entertaining regardless of the outcome 😊
would only work if ghold attacks that turn which isnt guaranteed it makes sense that he has it on the set incase he lives a powerful attack but in that situation earth power was a better all around play
cant really give you anything without a timestamp from my memory ghold was clicking more status moves than attacks that game, you never want it recovering on the empty coat, id only do it in 1 specific scenario and it just didnt occur in the game.
I personally use 252 Def/Sp.Def (Harvest Sitrus) Arboliva with: - Leech seed - Strength sap - Protect - Subtitute Works like wonder in endgame even against enemy with supereffective type
Sounds fun in low ladder play but in draft you want to do your best to counter team your opponent. There's also the issue of this losing to taunt/encore/and grass types
@@iceseic you don't have to be utility for any of that to be an issue. for example, Encore Iron Valiant or Encore Waterpon aren't exactly utility focused but can still use encore to completely ruin the set and set up
"I saw her face / and I'm Arboliva" is an underrated pun. Hats off to you for that one.
Channeled Emvee in that moment
5:43 I love how Donphan bobs its head to keep eye contact with Thundurus floating up and down
Gator having PTSD from Joey forcing his friends into PO/Showdown lives is so funny 😂
Blunder possesed u in this battle huh
Agency classic
@@Alx1116 Agency throw 🔥
May is just around the corner…
Joey blessing us on Super Bowl Sunday with a throw even Mahomes couldn’t make

Gato not revealing the Tera until he needed to was pretty big. If he Tera’d before you would’ve totally healing wished knowing moonblast would ko
Should have always healing wished anyway, damage on whimsi didn’t matter. Was a big choke
What if you attacked the whimp with your Thundurus instead of swap? Why did you swap?
@@pokeaimMD True true, makes sense
Where has the DewGone?
Its been Dewsapointing not seeing it
Someone that gets it
Sometimes it’s not all abt where the DewGone. It’s abt where the DewGo. And it’s coming for the top soon
It’s dewgone to the top 🔝 😈
Listen, he'll be DewGoing places, we just gotta wait boys
Lmao Joey was right with Gator complaining that the interview didn't start immediately when they jumped on call
Joey throwing as hard as Emvee throwing his Big Nugget 😂
Or all of us throwing our tomatoes at Emvee 🍅🍅🍅😂
3:49 Joe turned into Da Don Mefesto for a super hot sec. It’s like he never left 🙌🏼
not gonna lie... it is fun to see arboliva being the menace in your team
Unfortunate choke, but hahahahaha it’s so funny that gator keeps winning
I been waiting for this game Gator vs his current boss is crazy
Woooooooooow was not expecting Billy to ohko gholdengo like that, amazing prep!!!

Its Jover 🥺
Nahhhh who let tuco in here 😭😭
I can’t believe you swept with choice scarf triple axel Dewgong. Good job Joey 👍
I knew after last week gator is going to keep winning because he does not want to keep playing lol
Unfortunate blunder at the end but really great game. just a joy to watch this one.

Could have been scarf ye
Aim really throwing for the content, damn. Wishing you the best of luck next battle!
My goats plot armor activated 😈
I love how gator has the only and the most reluctant 4-0 Record rn lol
Not surprising gator is very skilled player
Plus he’s very solid in draft too
GG joey,I love you and I'm always rooting for you,but I'm sorry I popped off so hard when you forgot about tera,GGS to both players,what a great game! So happy Gator still have to compete in this draft lmao
The first battle:
Joey: ITS OVER WE WIN
*screen flashes to black and white as an in-colour narrator walks into view*
"It was, in fact, not over"
What was that Keldeo surf animation lmao wtf
Been waiting for this allllll day les go wakers!
Are we not going to talk about how sick keldeos surf animation looks?!
Gator plot armor is hilarious
These edited intros are so sick
Waited for this all day
The tension of the game was off the charts this week, wp to both of you!
Also half the time it felt like I was playing with you because I was internally screaming "make this play" and you'd make it. I was sweating bullets when you kept arboliva in against gholdengo despite healing wish
The shofu call was insane but true!!
love the interviews!
Superbowl? No SPL Sundays
Gator really be out here coming out of retirement to claim a championship and retire again
BRO this game was so intense
GG
GG better luck next time
27:50 BOTH STEEL TYPES GO DOWN FIRST! steel typing insane as always 😂
Is there a link to like the standings? I'd love to see the full table and all
Best team combo I’ve ever seen. Reads like “😠😠😠😠🌱🌝”
Yeah Billy was the main pick of the team to start but damn Arboliva really showing up these last few weeks
This is the game I'm most hyped for today
Dewgong getting off 7 perish traps is craaaazyy bro
Haha the solo leveling warrior reference
Actually a troll for that throw lmao gg though
sd hydro pump scizor went crazy, good prep joey
that has to be the biggest choke of the season
Favorite part of the week!
Gator has such a strong team this is gonna be a fun battle!
Is it going to be the threepeat? :o
I mean gator saving the tera for turn 100 was extremely smart. He could have terad instantly but he saved it for later which proved to be amazing
Day 85 of asking for Choice Specs Kingambit
252+ SpA Choice Specs Kingambit Grass Knot (120 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Great Tusk: 436-514 (100.4 - 118.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera Steel Kingambit Steel Beam vs. 244 HP / 12 SpD Gliscor: 384-452 (109 - 128.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Thundurus and Arboliva is putting a lot of work this Season, unfortunately...
When Arbo hits the field ain’t nothing gonna liva
i blame pokeaimmd
Pokeaim I wanna learn gen9 but I've only played gen 5 so gen9 looks really overwhelming, do u have any tip to start learning gen9?
Random battles on Pokémon showdown are always the best way to learn a gen if you ask me. Otherwise, steal a team from the ladder and give it a shot!
@@unknownguymandude2444 But like random battles use random builds it's so weird to learn
Gen 9 has redefined powercreep, I would recommend you start in UU or RU as they're more reminiscent of past gen OUs but with caveat of any Mon being able to change their type at will
@@ShotgunHunter97 Ok so I do Gen 99 UU or RU games first? I'm not really good with types too 🥲 any tip for that?
Nah so many bad advice in the replies lol if you want to learn gen 9 ou just keep watching videos from aim, blunder, etc. Also watch lesser know guys like Blim and other high level players. Then just steal a team and start laddering you’ll eventually learn win conditions and how to build your own teams
TTIRAAS Naming scheme went hard
LET'S GO!!! "GRUDGE MATCH"!!!!!!
when do you play haydunn
Choice banded fake out aqua jet ice shard flip turn to destroy donphan is crazy
that was a really good game rip to the choke XD
Gg good battle too bad the homie gator too the win but the man's no care strats are just proving to be way too op..lol cheers bro
Aw, I can understand that this means a lot to you though it’s okay to make mistakes we’re all human. Even the best of the best can have their moments
The game was super entertaining regardless of the outcome 😊
i love these thumbnails
Hope Joey uses a shiny Lycanroc Dusk one of these weeks.
best day of the week!
Billy REALLY performed that match HOLY SHIT
Two weeks in a row forgetting the possible Tera types!! Clean some of that up and we talking big money. All love!!
Crazyy
his nicknames were fire
I agree the throw is bad but don't think you should beat yourself up too much
Ah 100 push ups 100 squats 100 sit ups 10 km run. Solo leveling enjoyer pokeaimMD
I can't believe you lost to choice specs sharpness boosted air slash sweep from Samurott-H 😭
Don't forget to like that hit button.
Rimuru Tempest!!!!
I hope Arbaliavia comes upin more games
Its draft league day leggo
Why not mirror coat instead of Earth power the Golden Go?
would only work if ghold attacks that turn which isnt guaranteed
it makes sense that he has it on the set incase he lives a powerful attack but in that situation earth power was a better all around play
cant really give you anything without a timestamp
from my memory ghold was clicking more status moves than attacks that game, you never want it recovering on the empty coat, id only do it in 1 specific scenario and it just didnt occur in the game.
relax fren :D you'll figure it out
Just once, I want someone in teambuilder to be honest and not call their opponents team insane or threatening when it’s dog lol
Joey do you think Terapagos will be unbanned next season. After seeing it in BBR and PPL it's very good but definitely not broken.
#BlameItOnBilly
Day 16 of asking you to use all three Volcarona forms on the same team on the OU ladder.
Well played all game until the unfortunate choke. GG can't win em all
Is it just my headphones or does anyone else hear a little popping in their right earbud?
When are we going to get the super agent dewgong?
You need to bring Dewgong. Perish Trap would be great.

Eh don’t be too hard on yourself man your a back to back champ your allowed a mistake you hardly ever make them bro
SPOILER SHIELD 🛡 AGAIN
Even the most carefully laid out plan is no match for human error.
Sorry, bro.
I personally use 252 Def/Sp.Def (Harvest Sitrus) Arboliva with:
- Leech seed
- Strength sap
- Protect
- Subtitute
Works like wonder in endgame even against enemy with supereffective type
