i feel like Miraidon deserves to be in defining the meta because i wouldn't be surprised if it won. i would be really surprised if a mon other than miraidon or the horses won.
I find it insane how some people at the beginning were like "Miraidon is kind of mid" and it took weeks for them to realize that "oh, oh I don't have a Ground type, oh I'm screwed", also giving Brian Hands an ability is really good too
I feel like kyurem-w usage will skyrocket within a double restricted format. It 1 shots the choice specs maraidon that everyone runs. It's bulky to the point of stupidity with snow and av. Torn-I gets snowscape, so unless you have a pivot faster than maraidon, you're not gonna win the weather war under tailwind. Overall its a niche pick but with a little added consistency it can be done.
I've a strange feeling that Miraidon or Lunala will pop at worlds but I still think that someone will optimize shadow riders counters and streamline their play.
I feel like pagos is probably the 3rd of 4th best restricted in terms of consistency. It shouldn't be that good in theory (cos it has big zam/urshifu problem), but results wise it's only behind the horsies.
Didn’t make worlds this was actually my first time doing locals but as a zacian superfan in the current meta I’m excited to see what people do with that mon
I am genuinely excited to see what the 2 Restricted format is gonna look like personally Probably not the best, but Koraidon + Groudon is probably peak "I'm winning that weather war, whether you like it or not" and I can definitely see it being used as a good counter pick against Kyogre + Miraidon which should be one of the best combos out there imo. That's really what I'm looking forward to the most atm
I don't know why you're thinking Kyogre unless you're looking at it from a Kyogre player perspective. As a Miraidon user, I'm looking at its counter, Palkia, if anything. It can cover all of Miraidon's weaknesses and it has Telepathy to enable free Discharge spam.
My hot take is that Miraidon is a ladder restricted, or an early meta restricted, but definitely not a Worlds champion candidate. It's way too inflexible, predictable and has a poor matchup into many popular Pokémon that are just slapped on every team because they're good. I still think Miraidon is good, but I don't see it as being a winner of Worlds, unlike the Calyrexs, for example. Also, Ho Oh and Lugia are at the bottom of the list imo, they're like Mewtwo levels and anything above is cope.
Man as a Zam enjoyer the late stage reg g meta has been lame. Zam has basically been figured out. The more I've played this reg the more I've really wished tapu fini was around. I think so many of Zam's issues get solved if Tapu Fini was in the game...
I'm really routing for Kyogre but I'm not sure it can really win worlds. It is solid, does a lot of damage and is good with both of the horses. Yeah, requires tera against miraidon. I'm playing kyogre myself and I'm really struggling to find a "solid team" I like. Also the best kyogre build to me is AV
Assault Vest with Grassy Surge perhaps, although I've seen Queenly Majesty favored sometimes. Perhaps because aside from Tornadus and maybe Urshifu-Rapid-Strike, there isn't a standardized, proven Kyogre team composition with which to comfortably stride forth, as far as I am aware.
I wish it was a double restricted format again. I don’t like this single restricted format tbh. Like a lot of the don’t expects could be justified if you could play them along side the horses
Chicken and the egg: Miraidon already defined the meta and empowered rilla usage as the most splashable grass type
@@brennanartrip3106 It also had a knock on effect of making amoongus less valuable with its terrain.

Or a really niche, super specific anti meta team no one looking at

think so too

i think zama and lunala will pop off
I don't know this game, but this tierlist shows that this game has some huge balance problem
Well, not all 1000 pokemon can be good.
You're not wrong though...
agree on each tier. i feel like the best mon is Caly-I when it isn't trying for hard TR (like NAIC winning team)
Lunala is the best restricted trust
Didn’t make worlds this was actually my first time doing locals but as a zacian superfan in the current meta I’m excited to see what people do with that mon

putting terapagos above Zamazenta is crazy
Great video! Love your content! Good luck for worlds

Violet player here, rooting for Miraidon to take the title of Champ

A lot of cores get a boost if Tapu Fini is back in the game, I support brining it back!
@@SableyeVGC Agreed. Not having a viable misty terrain user has let miriadon, bolt, thunderwave Grimm, and tera ghost wisp incin just run rampant.
I use ray and its not that bad honestly
Cosmog gonna take it all
agreed with the top 6
Rillaboom is the most used mon bc of miraidon, it's always been good, just hasn't been as popular as it is now, miraidon defines the meta

I got Freeze donkey winning it all.
they really should have lowered the sig moves of the riders to 110 or 105
I'm using calyrex shadow and tera😮 type fighting with tera blast to deal with Incineroar, it one shots it

I miss Yveltal man…
I’m going to believe that Calyrexes are this good just because Yveltal is not in the game.
I too miss yveltal
Overheat miridon bout to be a thing to catch Rilla
Why is Koraidon in matchup roulette and not sleep powder roulette?
Miraidon could be a reason the tapus didn’t make it to this game
Im gonna place my bet on Caly S
My boy groudon why had you to fall🥲
Duskmaine better than dawn wings, should be up there, people just constantly sleep on it.
It's crazy how he manages to mispronounce every single syllable of Eternatus
Why are you yelling at Zamazenta?It did nothing wrong!
It did everything wrong! (Not really but I am gonna pretend it did)
