Idk if it's me but I don't care if he loses as long as it's a fun video. Personally, I've gotten bored with some winning with sooooooooo much set up then baton pass or max evasion magic.
Kingdra is my absolute favorite pokemon. I remembered being so pumped as a kid when I finally got to trade and evolve him in Pokemon Silver. Thanks for this video, man.
Been loving these mixed tier battle uploads, reminds me of the old gen 4/5/6 battles you did back in the day. I’m so burnt out on normal OU and even draft league so these are a real treat, fun seeing so many lower tier mons getting love
Loving the double battles in one video, team showcases, quality of the videos, creative start with the star Pokemon... Haydunn I've been following you for YEARS but this is PEAK POKEMON from you! ❤ Keep at it bro!
Really enjoying these longer form videos with multiple battles. It does a better job of showing off the target Pokemon and strategies compared to a single battle. Hope you keep pumping out these multi battle videos!
Hey Haydunn, I just started watching you this year, and it's been great! Thank you so much for the incredibly fun videos! Would you consider making a full proof, beginner, easy team? I've never played competitively, and I don't really know anything technical (calculations, secondary status effects, how to counter other pokemon, etc). You're so knowledgeable, and I would really like to use an easy intro team you think could introduce me to the competitive scene. Thank you!
The details in the textures and even now the arena is looking really good, looking back at Sword and Shield, the improvement is awesome. Also great battles, enjoy your content the most
Sniper Tera Dragon Kingdra holding a Scope Lens can boost its critical hit ratio further with Focus Energy to get 100% crit chance with every Draco Meteor, making it ignore the Sp Atk drop and hitting with 585 power
I really need to see a double battle with somebody using Dragon cheer on Sniper Kingdra. I’m thinking maybe Tera Dragon, max Speed, max Special Attack, Choice Scarf and Draco Meteor?
Literally watch your videos every single day Haydunn. Your one of the things I look forward to most in the morning while I'm eating breakfast. Thank you so much for your amazing content brotha. Keep up the amazing work❤
I LOVE the fact you show some losses. It honestly keeps me guessing throughout the video if your crazy strategies will work. They mostly do. Good stuff.
Crit Kingdra is still my favorite way to run Kingdra. Not having to worry about Draco drops and having the Tera Blast coverage to break through walls. Its so rewarding to just click buttons under rain.
I think a dope change would be rain doing damage to fire types and sun doing damage to water types like sandstorm. And maybe both give grass types hp with snow (and maybe sand) doing double damage.
Would you ever consider using Seadra? The only difference is HP and special defense. I actually made a defensive set that I was really proud of. Disable, Clear Smog, Scald and Octozooka. Eviolite, Poison Point Max HP Max Def
Kingdra was one of the Pokemon that I was most looking forward to. But honestly. Blastoise stole the show for me, they gave my boy so much love this time around and the updated model looks amazing.
You did hella good against that first team with the threats and what you're working with! I'd still love to see an Eviolite Duraludon, and ofc course im gonna ask for a Starf Berry Tropius or maybe Exeggcute
some calcs for the first game where the results weren't necessarily obvious: 0 Atk Forretress Gyro Ball (32 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Ursaluna-Bloodmoon: 16-19 (7.2 - 8.6%) -- possibly the worst move ever (both Forretress and Ursaluna-Bloodmoon are running 0 speed IVs, or Ursaluna has for some reason invested in Def) +2 4 SpA Ursaluna-Bloodmoon Blood Moon vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Forretress: 152-179 (83.5 - 98.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO (Forretress was damaged and at 139 hp) 252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera Water Kingdra Surf vs. +2 252 HP / 252+ SpD Ursaluna-Bloodmoon in Rain: 196-232 (89 - 105.4%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO (note that it is possible that the Ursaluna was runnning SpA EVs instead of SpD) 252 Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Chien-Pao Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Water Kingdra: 118-141 (78.6 - 94%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO (damage roll of 124 shows that this was a Jolly Chien-Pao, not an Adamant one) 252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera Water Kingdra Dragon Pulse vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Greninja: 126-148 (85.7 - 100.6%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO (stealth rocks) +1 252 SpA Choice Specs Greninja Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Blastoise on a critical hit: 153-180 (82.2 - 96.7%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO
I'm not mad that guy won due to a clutch dumb luck crit, I'm mad that he won despite having his entire uber meta baby team swept by a mon that isn't even UU. Talk about an undeserved win
I’m a bit confused, in the second battle, why was the Golurk so fast? It has base 55 speed (e.g. outsped politoed at the end at base 70) and was predicted to have a Choice Band, not Scarf?
QtheCostaRican is a great great player and had a content very similar to Haydunn, he usually plays VGC but sadly for you in the last days he is playing mostly singles because he is testing all the new indigo disk mons@@av2279
Because they are. Gen 2 introduced the fewest mons out of any gen, and with only a few exceptions like scizor, heracross, porygon2, tyranitar and later on azumarill thanks to fairy typing and huge power, a lot of the gen 2 mons just kinda suck
A man who's not afraid to show his losses is a better Pokemon content creator than most others.
I agree
And it was a loss against Ubers/OUs, so was it even really a loss?
Idk if it's me but I don't care if he loses as long as it's a fun video. Personally, I've gotten bored with some winning with sooooooooo much set up then baton pass or max evasion magic.
This spoiled the ending for me before I could fullscreen my phone :(
@@zmartens13 Skill issue.
binge wifi-battles and take a drink when Haydunn can take a hit from this thing
and whenever he puts something on his head XD
Watch any competitive pokemon video and take a shot anytime some says stealth rocks
Drink every time we love to see it
❤
all y'all trying to straight die on the playlist 😂
Imagine how upset Larry would be to find out that his favorite restuarant is closed for repairs as a result of this battle.
I audibly screamed when they got the crit on that blastoise
Do you normally have inaudible screams?
@@DefinitelyNotAFerret very likely
@@DefinitelyNotAFerret I guess he screams from his mind
I prefer to visually scream
I said A😮
Kingdra is easily in my top 5. Design wise, typing wise and with swift swim it gets crazy.
I love it's design too but don't understand how it floats there with no legs or water
@@lifesAtrip513sheer power
@lifesAtrip513 most fish and swimming pokemon float outside of water. They're magical monsters. They do what they want
Are you me lol?
@@lifesAtrip513 This pokemon stays afloat through sheer force of anger alone.
Love these videos with multiple battles with the same team. Really shows you how great the teams are instead of being a one-off battle.
Kingdra is my absolute favorite pokemon. I remembered being so pumped as a kid when I finally got to trade and evolve him in Pokemon Silver. Thanks for this video, man.
Far as I'm concerned, you won that first battle. They were Ubers and OU except for Clodsire, and you brought them to 1 hit.
Been loving these mixed tier battle uploads, reminds me of the old gen 4/5/6 battles you did back in the day. I’m so burnt out on normal OU and even draft league so these are a real treat, fun seeing so many lower tier mons getting love
Loving these back to back videos of double wifi battles
Loving the double battles in one video, team showcases, quality of the videos, creative start with the star Pokemon... Haydunn I've been following you for YEARS but this is PEAK POKEMON from you! ❤ Keep at it bro!
I really like kingdra but I much prefer the sniper and scope lens set using focus energy. Hit everything with a critical hit!
Really enjoying these longer form videos with multiple battles. It does a better job of showing off the target Pokemon and strategies compared to a single battle. Hope you keep pumping out these multi battle videos!
this thumbnail and intro had me gaslit into thinking Kingdra had 150 base speed. i was like, "huhhhh?" lmao
technically base speed doesnt double, but at level 50 timid 252 speed evs it has 150, effectively putting it at 300 under rain
@@Haydunn thanks for the calcs! I'm just a base stats barry, i guess. I need to be better about these. anyway, great vid as always!!

True, it just needs speed support like sticky web or something since its not fast without rain
I like this team :))
9:43 haydunn's villain arc
Dragon cheer on sniper kingdra would go crazy
in dual battles you can also run kingdra with sniper and scope lens, and have the other pokemon dragon cheer it for 100% crit chance
Foretress looking up at that Full Moon Bear like "Mommy?" XD
Dragonite eating Ice Punch was so satisfying
Kingdra got Wave Crash as well so u have an absolute nuke of a water stab physically as well as Scale Shot as an option over Outrage
Love the double game videos. Love it
Double battles back to back ??!? ❤ haydunn working overtime!~ lets show him some love ❤️
9:03 This *physically* hurts me.
Appreciate the back-to-back battles!
11:31 It's a dinosaur, Haydunn, a Brontosaurus. The Paradox Beasts are all dinosaurs.
it was a joke
I would assume most businesses and areas have some sort of Pokémon battle insurance so im sure Larry is covered
Always happy to see kingdra content. Use to be one of my favorites back in the day.
6:34 I laughed my ass off at "The shop owner must be pissed"
Shout out to the sprite for Kingdra from Crystal
I really need to see a double battle with somebody using Dragon cheer on Sniper Kingdra. I’m thinking maybe Tera Dragon, max Speed, max Special Attack, Choice Scarf and Draco Meteor?
Sounds sick!
Literally watch your videos every single day Haydunn. Your one of the things I look forward to most in the morning while I'm eating breakfast. Thank you so much for your amazing content brotha. Keep up the amazing work❤
Wait, They allowed Kingdra to learn Hurricane 👀
20 min video, thank you Hayden!!
Wow impressive kill from kingdra and that ice punch switch
I LOVE the fact you show some losses. It honestly keeps me guessing throughout the video if your crazy strategies will work. They mostly do. Good stuff.
Never thought I’d be watching pokemon this often , your commentary 10/10 man
Appreciate that man
Yesssss
I used this pokemon in a fire red rom hack, and it stole the spot for my favorite water type.
Crit Kingdra is still my favorite way to run Kingdra. Not having to worry about Draco drops and having the Tera Blast coverage to break through walls. Its so rewarding to just click buttons under rain.
No, run tera dragon, it 2 hit KOs non special def evolite chansey
Never have I ever been so hyped for a move like I was with that surf on the blood moon
I think a dope change would be rain doing damage to fire types and sun doing damage to water types like sandstorm.
And maybe both give grass types hp with snow (and maybe sand) doing double damage.
Liking these double battle videos!
We need longer videos like this more often 🔥🔥
Would you ever consider using Seadra? The only difference is HP and special defense. I actually made a defensive set that I was really proud of. Disable, Clear Smog, Scald and Octozooka. Eviolite, Poison Point Max HP Max Def
Wallnut is a wall, is nut and he is here to party
Damn, that's crazy how one single turn can turn the tides...thats all you need
Thank you for the two videos btw!
Kingdra was one of the Pokemon that I was most looking forward to. But honestly. Blastoise stole the show for me, they gave my boy so much love this time around and the updated model looks amazing.
You did hella good against that first team with the threats and what you're working with! I'd still love to see an Eviolite Duraludon, and ofc course im gonna ask for a Starf Berry Tropius or maybe Exeggcute
Glad to see this. I stumbled upon a shiny seadra my first time playing the dlc, been wanting to build a rain team around it
that's my favourite thing about hyper training and ability capsules/patches. I can make my shinies usable in online play.
Two for one? Christmas came early. Good shit like Haydunn
Love the double battles! Needed the redemption
14:17 You're not locked into Weather Ball, you have Damp Rock on Politoed, not a Choice item.
... i was encored into using weather ball
could we see a sniper, dragon cheer, kingdra in doubles next?
Electrivire does the whip when it uses ice punch. I cant unsee it. Unfortunatley it cannot do the naenae.😮
That first match was a rollercoaster! Sucks the crit God's were not in your favor but Kingdra redeemed itself the next match! 😤
I have had success running dragon cheer on my archaludon which can give kingdra high crit chance with any item they want
Excited for a 20 minute Haydunn video!
Larry's at the kitchen counter, royally pissed yohre flooding the restaurant.
3:58 ahyoo thats wild. Kingdra cooooking
GG, it could’ve gone either way. Maybe give Duraldon assault vest? Power herb seems redundant in the rain
6:41 Since this is Larry's restaurant, he wouldn't mind all that much tbh
The Walnut vs Ursaluna joke was hilarious 🤣 2:30
swift swim kabootOPS would have been sick as well, but I love kingda too
Honestly i was very surprised by the lack of Sucker Punch from Kinggambit, that was a relief
We have two battles in one video? This gotta be our lucky day yall 😁😁😄

Do you happen to have the EV spread for your Forrestress?
Kings da is goated btw! One of my fav Pokémon’s.
ZapSquatch. Bro my sides. Classic
I definitely want to add Kingdra to my rain team. Gotta grab a friend to help with a trade.
Always loved Kingdra!
I'm not mad that guy won due to a clutch dumb luck crit, I'm mad that he won despite having his entire uber meta baby team swept by a mon that isn't even UU. Talk about an undeserved win
Thank homie 🙏🏽😂 need more kingdra love
I’d love it if you did something with Hitmontop, my favorite all time mon.
Thanks again for the content Haydunn I love what you do ✌🏼
Why pick Hitmontop over Chan or Lee?
@@twinkletoes8094Swag.
happy holidays gang
I’m a bit confused, in the second battle, why was the Golurk so fast? It has base 55 speed (e.g. outsped politoed at the end at base 70) and was predicted to have a Choice Band, not Scarf?
I don’t have any speed investment in toed, and it was probably a max speed golurk or something
The way that Fortress looks up at the taller Pokemon is everything 😂😂
I wonder if Kingdra is jealous of Bax's singular fin
Sniper focus energy scope lens Kingdra >
A double double episode Haydun you spoiling us.
2battles today? Damn I like it
DOUBLE VIDEO LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Such a sick video!! You’re using a lot of my favorite mons!! Might use this team 🔥
Haydunn provides the best wifi battles
Is chien-pao and Chi-yu legal again on Smogon? I like testing my teams on showdown before building them in the game.
Haydunn, have you considered doing double battles for some videos? I think it would be fun to see doubles strategies too.
I respect that , but there is a lot of ppl who make vgc videos , however he is one of the few which make singles
@@arnoldwolf6 Can you make some recommendations on good SV VGC content similar to Haydunn's style? I already follow WeedleTwineedle and Wolfey.
QtheCostaRican is a great great player and had a content very similar to Haydunn, he usually plays VGC but sadly for you in the last days he is playing mostly singles because he is testing all the new indigo disk mons@@av2279
Please show my boi meganium
Some mega love
Wow that would be great
Love your Videos, Youre a Very Good Player and I was wondering would you ever do Doubles and or Enter any VGC Tourney's
Any reason the ursaluna didnt clam mind 4 more times there.
Wish you put the link for the team sheet king 😢
Too bad Larry wasn’t at the cafe today he would have been seen floating by with all the fooding.
im loving the daily content keep it up 🔥
Nice 2 matches in one video
Yesss 20+ minute videos!
Thanks!
Really miss Z focus energy* sniper kingdra
That Dragonite read is exactly why we do this.
All hail the king!
You’re the first person I ever seen that says Archaludon like I do! Thank you.
Gen 2 is crazy cuz i feel like a lot of it's mons are usually considered weak
Because they are. Gen 2 introduced the fewest mons out of any gen, and with only a few exceptions like scizor, heracross, porygon2, tyranitar and later on azumarill thanks to fairy typing and huge power, a lot of the gen 2 mons just kinda suck
I like this team build. Which nature did u use for ur Kingdra?
