Road to Ranked meets Alola! We're back guys, featuring the team I built in the team-builder video =) I will probably be a noob at first since there are so many new Pokemon, moves, speed tiers, and strategies, but hopefully that makes it all the more fun!
Yaaay Road To Ranked's back! Gosh I've missed this series. I loved your commentary in Worlds this year Aaron, pity that you didn't play but in the end it was all good.
I think this first episode is great for newer players. Yesterday you put up the basic team building guide that had this team and now you show it in action. Great thinking!
I have been to other pokemon-player channels and none of them are so descriptive, crystal clear onto plays and informative as you . Thank you for the great pokemon content and keep up the amazing work , cheers from Brazil !
I feel warm and fuzzy with nostalgia when I return to videos from this season of VGC. The meta was all over the place and Pokemon were constantly being undermined and replaced back then. You never really knew what was coming next.
i've watched you for a while but i never played VGC because it was too controlled by mega and primal pokemon but now i'm so excited to go into VGC 17. So glad you're uploading Road to ranked.
Yes! finally. I've been waiting for this for soooo long! I was excited to play the story mode of the game but I am equally as excited for road to ranked. Glad to see its back! Now time to enjoy the video
Have been waiting so long for this! Finally my favourite vgc series starts again! Btw im from austria in europe, you even got fans here aaron. Keep up the good work!
im new to these pvp/competitive stuffs in pokemon,just started my first pokemon game on 3ds one week ago(used to play platinum on pc),hope to see more guides and tips from u ty!
I'm extremely excited for this season. It seems that it will really come down to the imagination and skill of the players instead of who has the bigger beat stick.
So glad to see you back with VGC content, despite my sadness over your team choice :D Looking forward to more episodes, and I hope the meta quickly develops in a way that counters the living hell out of Metaguru and Metakoal :)
Shady suggested you way back so I thought to give your videos a try and I'm impressed dude. I enjoy your insight in each match and will be returning for new videos😁
Hey Aaron I haven't watched your videos much in a while since I got bored of the VGC '16 meta and Pokemon in general, but I'm glad to be back! Looking forward to this season and I hope to finally be able to get a try at worlds
βεη you have to compete in tournaments to earn championship points, and you can qualify if you are ranked in the top of a certain number of people, I'm not quite sure
I wonder if the meta will ever change from instruct, it just seems to good. I'm currently beating it with fake out and roar however I'm thinking about maybe adding it to my team as a option also.
HYPE! I've been looking forward to this, really missed the series between the end of being able to play official VGC rules in ORAS and the release of SuMo. Totally understood why you took a break from it during that time, though. Conversely... I feel like contrary to all the promised improvements SuMo is actually a big step back compared to ORAS for legitimately catching, training, and breeding pokemon. The Hyper training/bottlecap system was probably the biggest letdown of my Pokelife, and SOS battles are really annoying. The only good thing is breeding without having to worry about moves getting overwritten.
he couldn’t admit gening them. but consider that top players often also have a lot of people helping them out with breeding and iv-catching so it’s always plausible they use bread mons
OoO wow how you got your team so soon, I thought you haven't complete the game yet. Anyway welcome back ^~^ ! hope to see tapu lele celesteela Alola marowak in the future episode of road to ranked :D !
Hey Aaron! Great Team! I tried it out on Showdown and it really fits my Playstyle! I think it's a really well crafted Team and I really like Lilligant! You should try out Palossand in Salamence's Place. It's pretty helpful!
Hi Cybertron. Would you mind sharing the QR Code of that team? There was something like "rent a team" option if I remember correclty? :) I don't have the time to breed a team yet and you play the same core I was thinking about ;D
How do you get invited to Pokémon World? Do you have to get a certain amount of points from events, have one of the top amount of points from the events, or something else? I'm just asking since I remember you mentioning that you've gone to Pokémon World before, so I'm guessing you know how to get invited to it.
for worlds 2017 you need to get 500 championship points, you get championship points at premier challenges, mid season showdowns, regionals and internationals. if you're in the top 8/16 (depending on the region i think) of your region you get an invite to day 2
@CybertronProductuons Great vid but good lord the 3ds has some framerate issues (I'm assuming it's the game and not your capture). Do you use a o3ds or n3ds?

This year looks so promising. Awesome video Aaron!
yeees THANK YOU I need help first year of vgc
Thanks for recommending this vod, TH-cam.
5 years later, but very much appreciated nonetheless 🙌🏻
I only came to hear:
"Hey Guys! Aaron Cybertron Zheng here!"
Same, how did his games go? Did he win?
Don'tShootTheMessengerX yes
Last time I was this early, the VGC meta was diverse and balanced. Let's hope 2017 turns out that way as well.
I love when your older TH-cam videos appear in my recommendation.
It’s always fun to rewatch the old VGC formats. Where has the years gone
Anyone else get this recommended 5 years later?
I think this first episode is great for newer players. Yesterday you put up the basic team building guide that had this team and now you show it in action. Great thinking!
Also, you should make a video explaining how to get VGC ready mons in gen 7 being it's different than ORAS.
Aaron, please make a video on how to IV breed and EV train in Sun and Moon!
I have been to other pokemon-player channels and none of them are so descriptive, crystal clear onto plays and informative as you .
Thank you for the great pokemon content and keep up the amazing work , cheers from Brazil !
I feel warm and fuzzy with nostalgia when I return to videos from this season of VGC. The meta was all over the place and Pokemon were constantly being undermined and replaced back then. You never really knew what was coming next.
true
Ahhhh, it's good to have this back with fun teams.
And by that, I mean VGC 16 was :/
I know. Freaking Torkoal. Love that pokemon :D And Ninetails / Sandslash will be a thing too.
Aaron, you don't know how much i've missed these lmao.
I've literally been waiting for these for like a year!

Hey Aaron, will you be making QR Codes for your teams for us to try out ourselves?
Im sure he will but it is not avaibable right now as I recall.
Hey, how will this QR code scan work?
all right! Road to Ranked is back!
Glad to see Aaron use 3/6 of the same Pokemon I have on my team, now to watch and cry as he utilizes them far better than I could ever dream of.
This is what I've been waiting for!! So glad you're back mate :)

Been waiting for the longest of time for this!
WOOHOO! Good to have this back!

same
XtremeSpeedX - The Thinking Charizard
How do people get invited to worlds?
You seem like the person to ask
βεη you have to compete in tournaments to earn championship points, and you can qualify if you are ranked in the top of a certain number of people, I'm not quite sure
Oh thanks. I might just do battle spot lol
I wanna do it but not take it to seriously
www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/pokemon-events/pokemon-tournaments/pokemon-world-championships/
Glad you're back Aaron!!!!
Hey Aaron was the ev training difficult to do since there's no super training and we cannot tell what or how many Evs goes into the Pokemon now?
Tamarin Triggered wait he used that rental q code?
no he gens them
Make the IVs to 0 with berries. Than you can count it up easy
BiggleMan 123 How do you gen on sun and moon?
he doesnt gen them he gets people to lend them to him that have legitimately bred the mons. he was asking on twitter a couple of days ago
FINALLY BACK YES THANK YOU
Aaron, will you be sharing some of your teams through the rental teams feature?
I wonder if the meta will ever change from instruct, it just seems to good. I'm currently beating it with fake out and roar however I'm thinking about maybe adding it to my team as a option also.
and we are back. I love road to ranked
HYPE! I've been looking forward to this, really missed the series between the end of being able to play official VGC rules in ORAS and the release of SuMo. Totally understood why you took a break from it during that time, though.
Conversely... I feel like contrary to all the promised improvements SuMo is actually a big step back compared to ORAS for legitimately catching, training, and breeding pokemon. The Hyper training/bottlecap system was probably the biggest letdown of my Pokelife, and SOS battles are really annoying. The only good thing is breeding without having to worry about moves getting overwritten.
Cant wait to see the other Tapus. I heard Ribombee is pretty good in vgc format as well.
Woo! Road to Ranked is BACK!!!
Could anyone tell me if instruct could make something like dragon dance be used twice? I haven't gotten far enough
Yes, it can.
Edwardivan Labarca-Torres instruct is busted
This is so much hype that I liked it before even watching
do you breed all these pokemon or just pkhex them?
MrThaumaturgical I think he use pkhex.
he couldn’t admit gening them. but consider that top players often also have a lot of people helping them out with breeding and iv-catching so it’s always plausible they use bread mons
MrThaumaturgical he is not pkhex-ing.
I'm pretty sure he breeds them
ill wait till i get an answer from cybertron or just assume he doesnt want to answer and then get caught in a lie later
HYPE! Nice to have you back :)
At 5:55 they show how many turns of Trick Room remain! EPIC!!! :D
I love this format it feels so much more fun to play :v
Yes, VGC content is back!
RTR is back! It's been 3000 years!
Yes! Aaron you're back. Win worlds!
Yesssssssss I've been waiting for this thank you very much sir
Ahh, I was so tired of Primals and Mega Kangaskhan. THIS IS AMAZING.
Yes! RtR is finally back!!
how have you managed to breed and train a full team so quickly?
+Bonesy Bones got some help from friends and fans!
you want to lend me some of that help hehe?
specifically you want to chuck me any 6iv newborns you arent using :D
yay cant wait for more Aaron!!
Oh, gosh! I missed you so much!
Did you soft reset for the tapu or is it genned or powersaved?
I think you can just get a pokemon with synchronize to make the Tapu have the nature that you want, then once it reaches level 100 hyper train it
or just pkhex
Thats how I would do it. And since u train it to 100 might aswell use EXP Share and lvl the others Tapus + Dittos.
How often are they vacuuming the halls? lol Heard it toward the end of the episode and you said they were doing it earlier.
@CybertronProductions - can you tell me the moveset and EV spread you have for your 6 pokemon here?
OoO wow how you got your team so soon, I thought you haven't complete the game yet. Anyway welcome back ^~^ ! hope to see tapu lele celesteela Alola marowak in the future episode of road to ranked :D !
By chance, what are the natures of your Drampa and Oranguru? I was planning on using them on my team.
Where do you get all the PP ups, just curious trying to make my team perfect
You are so professional even when it isn't necessary haha, don't get me wrong though it makes you look that much better.
Gotta love Instruct combos, man
Will you ever release the QR codes for your teams to test out?
Can't wait to start laddering myself, I have a fun team with Xurkitree, Tapu Bulu, Arcanine, Gyarados, Mandibuzz, and Ninetales
Would you consider a hail team this year now that slush rush has been introduced?
YASS!! it started. also if you didnt see it last video aaron, would you mind tutoring? im getting into VGC this year
TH-cam decided to recommend me this today. very cool
Hey Aaron! Great Team! I tried it out on Showdown and it really fits my Playstyle! I think it's a really well crafted Team and I really like Lilligant! You should try out Palossand in Salamence's Place. It's pretty helpful!
which ability does ur oranguru have ?
QR Code?
You can't use qr code teams yet
:( thanks
Blazing Garrison When does it come out?
Hey Aaron, can you post your EV spreads, natures etc. please?
Aaron for you what is the best nature on a xurkitree?
you are becoming one of my favorites. only watch you and shady at this point
which hidden power are you using on your Torkoal?
Whats the ev spread and nature on drampa?
Hi Cybertron. Would you mind sharing the QR Code of that team? There was something like "rent a team" option if I remember correclty? :) I don't have the time to breed a team yet and you play the same core I was thinking about ;D
How do you get invited to Pokémon World? Do you have to get a certain amount of points from events, have one of the top amount of points from the events, or something else? I'm just asking since I remember you mentioning that you've gone to Pokémon World before, so I'm guessing you know how to get invited to it.

Could you change the battle theme each episode / battle?
New kinda format with the Alolan dex, gonna learn or relearn a lot :)
toot toot we're back on that road to ranked train :)
How did you get ur team
@CybertronProductuons Great vid but good lord the 3ds has some framerate issues (I'm assuming it's the game and not your capture). Do you use a o3ds or n3ds?
How does it get these battle ready pokemon so fast? Even with breeding it takes me a decent time to get a 5iv pokemon
What set is that Oranguru? Anyone knows?
Yaaaaaassssss! let's go!
6:30 "I'm gonna come in now"
Cybertron confirmed erupting torkoal
