@jameswbaekpkmn Thanks! Things are good... could certainly be a lot worse! Hope you're doing well too. Maybe I'll have a go at putting together a new version of one of my old teams... it looked fun!
Not really the format before we had paradox mons was prolly the best because we didn’t have ursaluna nor prankster tailwind users now it’s about who can set up trick room or tailwind first usually wins the game
I am a rather low player on showdown. Not because I dont know the tactics and so on, but I just make too many sloppy mistakes. Even on the low ladder, only setting tr dosnt brings the win. With psy spam and gortrom, or qurtel and Pelipper, there is a lot of switching, and there are a lot more factors. You can go for Ohko, I go for Ohko, but you wont get Ohko on every mon. And that mons are the problems
Where are the pledge strats in this format?? Oh wise and powerful Baek, can you please find or make a decent Water/Fire/Grass Pledge strat? Love the content!!
James I love that you used Raichu. Electroweb is interesting, I was trying out Tickle on that same set. It kinda helps mess with Archaludon since you can remove one defense boost. But I was mainly using it to support Physical attackers on the team. I wonder if Tickle + Volt Tackle is worthwhile. Volt Switch is really important
Can someone enlighten me, in game 2 on the turn where he used bug bite on Farigiraf and close combat on Ursaluna could he not have used bullet punch on Farigiraf to KO it before it uses psychic noise and therefore Breloom survives with sash to KO or severely weaken Ursaluna with a Bullet punch to finish?
@enzime321 I made a few tweets about what's going on a few weeks ago - but yeh essentially I'm just enjoying not playing Pokémon right now. I'm still following what's happening and not ruling out competing again, but I don't have the time to commit to getting a Worlds invite these days unfortunately.
Not sure where he lands now that he's started experimenting for content, but I saw his video where he attained Master Ball Tier once again for Regulation H and I think he entered it at rank 299.
Just getting on with life to be honest. I still keep track of what's going on, but Worlds is more time-consuming and expensive to qualify for than ever before. I just don't have the time any more, unfortunately.

lol the Archaludon boss battle at the end
I'm a simple woman. I see Scizor, i click.
Ew what lmao 😂
@eviolitee real

Same
Mindful. Demure.
Thanks for bringing some of me to the current format! Cool to see - we're just missing Liepard!
A Baz comeback soon?!
@@enzime321 Haha I doubt it - I don't have the time. Maybe if there's a close-by Regional... I made a longer Tweet about my "status" a few weeks ago.
Hope life is well for you Baz :]

Another Sunday banger with underused mons. This format has been the most interesting by far, for new and experienced players alike.

@@Drop0sauceI don’t think you’re a very high ranked player if that’s what you believe
This format is extremely diverse and it’s refreshing to see incineroars pick rate below 1/3

Thankful for the frequent uploads
Been loving the energy in the recent vids. You laugh so much keeps thing fun.
Man, that last game was unreal. Crazy plays around the Archaludon, and some incredible reads
Volcarona Breloom destroy me at the first Game 😢! GG hope to play more against you 😊
Touting myself as Breloom's #1 fan makes this vid existing feel so good. I've thought about trying pelipper for tw on a team with it
That dance arounc archaludon was insane.
Cool team. It's great hearing all the insight to the choices you made.
Love the shoutout to baz. Had great content and fun to watch
@nightfrost3041 Thanks! I might do one more video looking over my favourite teams when I get chance.
@@bazandersonvgc oh yes please do! Hope you are well 🙏
I like how Mimikyu's disguise gets reset upon forfeiting lol. I thought that was super cute.
I really wanted to see that Fire Spin/Ice Spinner dragonite do his stuff, hope we see him again in a future video.
YOU MADE THE BAZ TEAM!!! HOLY SHIT WHAT A THROWBACK.
Looove the team building on this one
I love this Dragonite set. I run something similar on my sand team to counter rillaboom and let excadrill click earthquake
Breloom team popped up on my first match of reg H and dominated it haha
Cool I’ve been wanting to use Breloom
Amazing game 6❤
Perfect timing just sat down for dinner
I knew this was coming. I am not good enough to make it work
Where are the pledge strats in this format?? Oh wise and powerful Baek, can you please find or make a decent Water/Fire/Grass Pledge strat? Love the content!!
That dragon is looking dizzy, luckily it doesn’t have rapid spin

Tickle with dragonite in the back sounds really annoying actually
Remember when everyone was using Breloom when Violet came out
This team destroided one time mine absolutly
we got a video over an hour let’s go
So we’re not going to talk about Manu’s trainer card?
39:13 Is there any legal way that Adam could get that profile pic lol?
Breloom Stonks 😎
OMG I haven't heard Baz" name in ages! Hope he's doing well
@maybebeltran221 I'm still alive! Doing well, just been refreshing not playing VGC seriously for a while!
I'm surprised GameFreak hasn't created a move yet that gets rid of tailwind.
They did. It's called trick room.
Hmm, Court Change?
Breloom siphoned all of James' luck this video. Bro crit like 20 times in this video lol
Why Protect and not Detect on Breloom?
No mach punch in the Breloom?

Armor Tail blocking Bullet Punch
Shout out Baz Anderson - I take it he "retired" or just took a pokemon hiatus

@@bazandersonvgc you are the reason I ran mirror herb skill swap stored power Umbreon next to toedscruel in reg A 😅 fun teams!!
Nice
I just want to know what number you are on the ladder
Not sure where he lands now that he's started experimenting for content, but I saw his video where he attained Master Ball Tier once again for Regulation H and I think he entered it at rank 299.
"Hello Internet!"...😭
Haha hello...!
what is baz up to
Just getting on with life to be honest. I still keep track of what's going on, but Worlds is more time-consuming and expensive to qualify for than ever before. I just don't have the time any more, unfortunately.
That Dragonite set is gonna make me sick 🤢
