As a kid I was taught the importance of speed early on when the key to defeating Mewtwo in Stadium 1 was to lead with Electrode. It was the only pokemon in the game that could outspeed, and while it was weaker than other electric types, being able to go first was *crucial* to winning that fight, getting off that early Thunder Wave or Explosion made the remainder of the fight much MUCH easier. I've always had a soft spot for him for this reason, I also had a lot of fun using him as a lead in Gen 4, you'd be surprised how good Mirror Coat is on him.
As the fastest mon electrode fought the fraud, the king of speed, he began to charge his chloroblast. Regieleki shrunk back in fear then electrode said "stand proud, you are fast"
Using its choice specs, Electrode imposed a heavenly restriction upon itself to only use one move. After all, one move is all it needs World bisecting Chloroblast
The opponents vikavolt being named cr17345 is funny. As someone who has worked with batteries for the last 9 years I love the reference. Also I just love vikavolt.
HONEY WAKE UP THAT NEW HAYDUNN JUST DROPPED! AND HE GOING CRAZY AGAIN WITH A POKÉMON THAT I KNOW WILL “CATCH SOMEONE OFF GAURD” AND IS EITHER ”A MENACE” OR SUPER FUN TO USE
i love hisuian voltorb and electrode, but hisuian electrode kinda makes me sad because voltorb looks so happy and when it evolves it just gets so angry and it's like "what happened little guy? Who upset you?"
I like to imagine that metagross is wearing an assault vest on one of his arms cause he can't fit the whole vest on the core of his body and I think that's a cute thought.
I saw an old comment that said Hisuian Electrode is frowning because he lost his eye brows and now I can never not think of that whenever I see a Hisuian Electrode.
Ron Weavly is such a good ass Weavile nickname. Also, I know Scizor is a good mon. But it's my favorite. Has been since Oct 15, 2000. I know good ol Circumscizor has fallen from grace in recent years but it'd be cool to see one on your team for one of your videos.
Left a comment on the last one too, but it was quite a bit after it was posted so I wanna throw in my suggestion again. Shaymin land form is in ZU while its other form gets to be in ubers, but it gets to pull off some real shenanigans using Substitute, Leech Seed, Air Slash, and Protect/Synthesis depending on if you wanna run king's rock or leftovers. It has base 100 speed which gives it an edge against tropius, and I personally think its too cute not to use. (If you use sky form it gets serene grace, kings rock and air slash is ruthless.)
The first battle was such a close and even match with misplays on both sides, yet the dude still rage quits. Not like anyone was cheesing or was on a sweep roll. It seemed like one of the battles you would want to play win or lose.
I love using it in doubles because of sound proof. There a lot of hyper voice girafarig going around and parting shot also doesnt work to lower its Special Atk.
Loving this 2 battle vídeos, and seeing our boy triangle doing some damage is so good. Also why the regirock is doing hip trusts, he is really putting the stealth cocks up
funny thing about the last battle is that notmal tera blast may have been enough to at least 2 shot electrode but he went for the ice because no way was magnazone gonna outspeed electrode
Would love to see you attempt using an Eviolite Magneton, pay homage to Jackson's shiny magneton from the anime that absolutely wrecked ash's balls without breaking a sweat, and you could name him square 😝
I don’t think Hisuian Electode has the bulk to use Chloroblast nor Giga Drain, but fortunately, it does get Leaf Storm. So here’s my idea for a set: Electrode (Hisuian) @ Focus Sash Ability: Soundproof Modest Nature 4/0/0/252/0/252 Volt Switch Leaf Storm Thunderbolt Taunt With something that has 150 base speed, Taunt is great, especially since you can affect dark-types while a species that’d rely on Prankster cannot, such as Whimsicott or Murkrow. Volt Switch is if you wanna switch out after using Taunt, or perhaps to reset your Sp.Atk after a Leaf Storm. Alternatively, instead of a Focus Sash, I wonder if one could use a White Herb so you can use Leaf Storm at full power twice in a row? And although Electrode of any variant is known for exploding, its low attack makes Explosion a non-starter. Soundproof seems to have the widest application, as I think Static can be unreliable, and Aftermath only seems to trigger if you’re specifically knocked out by a physical move. I don’t think I’d rule out Worry Seed or Foul Play, either, nor Thunder Wave or Reflect. EDIT: I’m also unsure of what Tera type would be best, and if maybe Tera Blast should be considered as a result.
I would tell you to use sweeper quagsire, but is not the same without the mirror herb, the strategy was using swagger with the mirror herb, and as quagsire has unaware, only his boost would really boost, so basically you got confusion on your opponent and +2 attack in one turn, which was perfect as you could then sweep. But since this is gen 8, i would say that ilumise is a good option, giving the fact that there's less fire type pokemons in the competitive besides incineroar and rock or flying types can be easily covered. Illumise, has prankster and can use tailwind, thunder wave, wish and as an attack option, air slash, which actually gives illumise the chance of killing pokemons with para flinch, i tested it out in showdown, but i don't really know if illumise is in sword and shield
dat ragequit. Hayden, what about a fiery Gyarados? Gyarados @ Wide Lens Ability: Moxie Tera: Fire - Temper Flare - Stone Edge - Earthquake - Dragon Dance First, sun must be set up. As Gyarados comes in, opponent will send in an electric move owner, generally. DD while the electric mon comes in. Commit Tera: Fire, then EQ.
Id love to see you do doubles with a friend. Just for funsies. Even better, i really loved your tera raid mons battle video and your battle ship video. Please do something like that again
Throat Chop actually shuts off Bug Buzz. So if the opponent didn't know that they would lose a turn and momentum. It was also the better move if the opponent switched.
I used Rain Dance electrode in lower tier in showdown. Then spam thunder or commit suicide with Chloroblast or explosion. Nobody expected it, then i proceed with my swift swim overqwil lmao
The fucking rage quit on the first one lmao
I wish there was a way to forfeit battles without disconnecting. There's one on Showdown I think
@@seronimo__7735 all you have to do is press run and you can forfeit.
@seronimo__7735 there is an option to forfeit battles. Its the "run" option.
So salty to quit like that. The other player had some good rng especially the iron head flinch.
Didn’t even need technology either

Thank you for that
Blessed be the two-match videos. Would love to see a Reuniclus strat!
Are you fast because you are ball or are you ball because you are fast?
Nah, I'd Triangle.
As the fastest mon electrode fought the fraud, the king of speed, he began to charge his chloroblast. Regieleki shrunk back in fear then electrode said "stand proud, you are fast"
Aerodactyl is so proud of this reference
Electrode declared "In all the tiers and the protohistoric earth, I alone am the choice one" and then split its hp in half
Deoxys moment
Using its choice specs, Electrode imposed a heavenly restriction upon itself to only use one move.
After all, one move is all it needs
World bisecting Chloroblast
The opponents vikavolt being named cr17345 is funny. As someone who has worked with batteries for the last 9 years I love the reference. Also I just love vikavolt.
that’s why that number seemed familiar lol
20 minutes, two battles and a RQ disconnect all in one video.
You’ve outdone yourself.
Electrode finishing the thunderbolt animation to take out the King Gambit after the disconnect was so satisfying
That poor salamance just kept getting thrown into stealth rock then got shocked to death at the end
Ikr? Why was that player pivoting for Intimidate like crazy when there's rocks in the field.
Why speed is everything: The Hisuian Electrode Theorem
Lol
HONEY WAKE UP THAT NEW HAYDUNN JUST DROPPED! AND HE GOING CRAZY AGAIN WITH A POKÉMON THAT I KNOW WILL “CATCH SOMEONE OFF GAURD” AND IS EITHER ”A MENACE” OR SUPER FUN TO USE
11:13 Electrode commits a war crime killing a fleeing enemy
Loving the two battle videos! I'll listen to them on the drive to work, and then watch the battles themselves when I get there 😂
Stop glazing and D riding 😂
Viewer, reporting for duty 25 seconds in
Viewer, also reporting for duty 25 seconds in
First*
Damn
1 month 🥱
Please, notice me 🎉
Gyaratres has not missed a single hypnosis. Working with some Hax
The nicknames you’ve got for your mons add to the teams for sure. Keep up the good work bud!
Thanks!
I love how your nicknames have only gotten better over the years lmao
Really love the double battle vids Haydunn. Keep up the great work bud🙏🏾🔥
The Electric Triangle is my favorite instrument
Thanks for the two video posts! Always a joy to hear a next battle after the first!
i love hisuian voltorb and electrode, but hisuian electrode kinda makes me sad because voltorb looks so happy and when it evolves it just gets so angry and it's like "what happened little guy? Who upset you?"
I love it when they rage quit even when the battle is literally over lol
I like to imagine that metagross is wearing an assault vest on one of his arms cause he can't fit the whole vest on the core of his body and I think that's a cute thought.
Making ppl baby bottle rage quit is more satisfying than winning
I love these intros you make these pokemon look so fun to use.
I do love that you name all your mons, the extra effort to personalization your squad is cool.
What was that walnut death animation? That eye lol
0:07 that (eh) is doing a lot of heavy lifting lmao
I love how both matches the opponent's teras were actually detrimental to them lol
Love the battles coming in a little more frequency. Ive been watching for over a decade which feels weird to think about, love your content always
Electrode out here displaying the Deoxys theorem firsthand
Hisuian electrode is also good since now it resists water so it can switch in safely on water types
I saw an old comment that said Hisuian Electrode is frowning because he lost his eye brows and now I can never not think of that whenever I see a Hisuian Electrode.
Gholdengo is unironically my new top favorite pokemon. I know it's OU and not normally your style but please for me.
Ron Weavly is such a good ass Weavile nickname.
Also, I know Scizor is a good mon. But it's my favorite. Has been since Oct 15, 2000. I know good ol Circumscizor has fallen from grace in recent years but it'd be cool to see one on your team for one of your videos.

I love these the commentaries and nicknames alone give it some much personality
That disconnect on the first battle had me weak!!!! Ngl I woulda been a little pissed too😂
Do some weird shenanigens with golisopod first impression and the escape button
The first battle was such a close and even match with misplays on both sides, yet the dude still rage quits. Not like anyone was cheesing or was on a sweep roll. It seemed like one of the battles you would want to play win or lose.
Wake up haydunns lunch upload dropped
I love using it in doubles because of sound proof. There a lot of hyper voice girafarig going around and parting shot also doesnt work to lower its Special Atk.
I know you usually do singles, but it would be fun to see your take on an Oricorio Doubles Dancer build.
Loving this 2 battle vídeos, and seeing our boy triangle doing some damage is so good. Also why the regirock is doing hip trusts, he is really putting the stealth cocks up
T-Bolt was so clutch at the end of that second game. Let’s goooo!!!!
Love the multiple battle uploads
Loving these longer videos!
Love your videos man!
funny thing about the last battle is that notmal tera blast may have been enough to at least 2 shot electrode but he went for the ice because no way was magnazone gonna outspeed electrode
Would love to see you attempt using an Eviolite Magneton, pay homage to Jackson's shiny magneton from the anime that absolutely wrecked ash's balls without breaking a sweat, and you could name him square 😝
H Electrode is cool and a really cool idea giving the primitive metal object the grass type
Electrode has the Batman logo on him 😂
I always love the commentary. Great Games!
damn we ballin out here today, love seeing the regirock make a return too
that stealth rock setting form was truly immaculate
Great episode today. Primarina would be a good poke 2 tey next
Can’t think of a comment so here’s a balloon 🎈
It's giving levitate
Love the two battle vids
12:09 excellent form
Would love to see a Huntail or Gorebyss gameplay, never see them used!
I don’t think Hisuian Electode has the bulk to use Chloroblast nor Giga Drain, but fortunately, it does get Leaf Storm. So here’s my idea for a set:
Electrode (Hisuian) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Soundproof
Modest Nature
4/0/0/252/0/252
Volt Switch
Leaf Storm
Thunderbolt
Taunt
With something that has 150 base speed, Taunt is great, especially since you can affect dark-types while a species that’d rely on Prankster cannot, such as Whimsicott or Murkrow. Volt Switch is if you wanna switch out after using Taunt, or perhaps to reset your Sp.Atk after a Leaf Storm.

EDIT: I’m also unsure of what Tera type would be best, and if maybe Tera Blast should be considered as a result.
Enter a lower tier draft league please
what's that? I can't find it in the game
Like SPL but with less known creators
We need an SPL B-League. More Coaches in rthe SPL and they rise and fall depending on their seasonal performance.
Rise and shine For Hisuian Balls😂
loooooove the multiple battles. 🙏🏼😍
I like the court change skill, can deal damage or change court.
I want to see Haydunn use Spidos
Darth Blader is so sick. You are the king of nicknames.
Hope they bring us more electric grass types in the future
Love this! Electrode is literally the bomb😊
I want to see regidrago come and show some skills, he can really pull out some fancy stuff, even though dragons have many easy counters
I've always wondered why collectively the 3 Regis faces spell HOT 🔥
The difference between a 20 minute Haydunn video and a 10 minute Haydunn video 🤟🏻
a physical mitotic build? definitely a team of misfits lol
New Haydunn video! Let's gooo!
i love how you said decent special attack of 80!! talk that talk!!!!!
I would tell you to use sweeper quagsire, but is not the same without the mirror herb, the strategy was using swagger with the mirror herb, and as quagsire has unaware, only his boost would really boost, so basically you got confusion on your opponent and +2 attack in one turn, which was perfect as you could then sweep.

Have you tried to use Gastrodon yet? If so, could you please drop the link? Ty :)
Love the 2 battle videos
Love you haydunn
Thank you
Have you ever used Bellibolt? I can't remember
Speaking of normal nicknames, I had a Jolteon named Jason.
Wifi battles are so satisfying
Would love to see some magic with the bestest boy Luxray to really show off the big zap cat
He shouldn't have terastallized umbreon throat chop would've neutralized the bug buzz since it's a sound based move
I love getting the two for one vids❤️
Hoping to see the goat Gadnuk make a comeback soon
19:30 damn that tera was a huge mistake
oh dang the first battle was over and i was about to click off the video and BAM it's a double header, i love it haydunn u r the man
Speed is everything.....
dat ragequit.
Hayden, what about a fiery Gyarados?
Gyarados @ Wide Lens
Ability: Moxie
Tera: Fire
- Temper Flare
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance
First, sun must be set up. As Gyarados comes in, opponent will send in an electric move owner, generally. DD while the electric mon comes in. Commit Tera: Fire, then EQ.
Left a like for the 2nd battle. 🐐
10 years later and I'm still sad about Balls
What in the False Swipe Gaming Theorem is this?
one of these days, I'd love to see another circular mon be named a different shape as well lol
Id love to see you do doubles with a friend. Just for funsies. Even better, i really loved your tera raid mons battle video and your battle ship video. Please do something like that again
would u reccoment using a +spatk nature or a +speed
The electrode theorom
Wouldnt tera blast be a better choice than throat chop vs vikavolt when you already committed on tera?
Throat Chop actually shuts off Bug Buzz. So if the opponent didn't know that they would lose a turn and momentum. It was also the better move if the opponent switched.
I used Rain Dance electrode in lower tier in showdown. Then spam thunder or commit suicide with Chloroblast or explosion. Nobody expected it, then i proceed with my swift swim overqwil lmao
