very hurt and upset that no one has commented on my dog repeatedly walking in and out of the background behind me lmao thanks for watching! sub for more vids like this coming soon
Excellent video. Hope to see more like this in the future. Keep us posted on your progress with Electrode. I've also thought there's a dedicated place for it in OU.
I experimented with electrode couple of months ago and ended up replacing it with salac berry raikou. Doesn't function exactly the same, but close enough to be the better choice. Gets aero most of the time but needs to be played better since it requires positional advantage.
Good luck to ya, I've always felt similarly about electrode myself. It's so fast, has boom, and isn't totally a slouch in attacking outside of that either. If electrode ever had rapid spin, he'd be mega ou
It's a sleeper I agree. I've ran it magnet thunder on rain teams, as a rain setter with sub boom. Pretty good role compression, decent 2hko ranges, if you manage to sub up for free.
I think the problem of electrode is that it doesn’t have BP or roar like jolteon. Also the lack of leftovers means it can’t come in on spikes a ton. It makes sense when you can run thunder reliably or need rain after tar is eliminated but magnet + tbolt seems ehhhh
TBF salac Heracross teams eat up these 2x steel claydol + bulky water structures like Conflict ran. Normally they have dugtrio or salamence to not insta lose to Hera, otherwise u put too much pressure on Jirachi and preserving Zapdos. The rain dance so fire punch doesn’t break sub is great though.
electrode is pretty good if you want to Twave jolt (or any other fast threat) before it attacks you, revenge kill aero (or boosted DD tar/agility meta/etc), or a fast explosion, or a hyper offense reflect/light screen lead, or a hyper offense weather setter. in those niches it's good. otherwise... very niche mon yeah. It's just not strong or bulky enough and has a fairly weak explosion too.
yeah i didn't understand why did he not sub at 26% to proc 200 bp reversal and salac, it would've ohkoed machamp and it does 80% min to defensive jirachi, who was at 70%
@emptywisdoms it's demonstrably good enough to contribute to a well built team that can succeed on high ladder. def should've had a conclusion section...Will do next time haha! thanks for watching
I really want to see you try umbreon. I feel like it could do something with wish+baton pass and do something like wishport clef in gen 8 or alomomola in gen 9. Being vulnerable to all of TSS sucks though
Ok, so I just took this team and won 10 games and lost 3. This is legit a solid team. People played right into Hera, got outplayed by Kingdra, etc. Edit: but the best mon by far in my games was Lax with lum berry. It was so common for them to switch as I curse, try to status and lum triggers, and then they sack 3 mons to kill lax
Can't ohko areo, gets ohko. Happens. In let's go tho... Mmmm. The man in doubles and clean up. Need it no matter what for zam, mega aero, Mewtwo for t wave.
Shouldn't you have subbed at 26% against Jirachi in the Rain? You would have swarm megahorn, max power reversal and a sub, since the replay showed you Jirachi fire punch doesn't break Hera sub in the rain
I'm bad and didn't realize wish protect jirachi doesn't outspeed my hera. so I thought I needed to proc salac by leaving then coming back in on the spike. learning moment

@EtropolisGhost finally

You were not gaming with your electrode but your luck was definitely gaming with you 😂😂
I've done electrode a disservice, yes. but this is just the beginning of Electrode Gaming...
This randomly popped up on my recommended lmao bless the algorithm! Also sick video! I didn't know you were big into Pokémon like this too! :D
my guy!! glad you ended up here and thanks for watching! yeah I got into ADV like a year ago. do you play much?
This is good content bro, definitely like to see more
@@oOSSAAMMOo thanks for watching! more videos this weekend

cool video i subbed

I think I remember playing against that Rain team a couple times on the ladder... I never managed to win against it
my boy too strong
I mean you'd smoke me now that u know the sets though. It is a team that certainly preys on wrong assumptions.

i remember sweeping with petaya CM passed electrode and it was hilarious (swept 2 times out of 10 low ladder battles)
insane winrate, yet the mainstream ADV media still remains silent

Banger thumbnail
thanks!!
Holy thumbnail who made that beast?
it me
@@pokeZetts Very well done
salac hera at +1 outspeeds everything relevant on the tier, even with adamant nature
yeah i didn't understand why did he not sub at 26% to proc 200 bp reversal and salac, it would've ohkoed machamp and it does 80% min to defensive jirachi, who was at 70%
Cute puppy, even cuter commentator
so? what's your verdict on electrode?

Wait did Ninjask finally get banned?
soon, brother...
@pokeZetts when you said electrode was the fastest unbanned mon my hopes went up...

so fucking true!! I should have given electrode a lions hat in this thumbnail

Electrode to E rank lfg.
that's really all I'm asking for
Love your content but I thought I'd congratulate your lions on the fat L. Take that hat off of mudkip now.
@@alanbauermeister5631 absolutely not. we will be back. now we just root for a chiefs L and everyone wins
@pokeZetts yes anyone but the Chiefs!
