If you're old enough to remember when sableye and spiritomb had no weaknesses, you get a senior discount at your favorite restaurant. Which includes me so YIPPEE!!!
I'm old enough to remember when Snorlax was the king of the metagame and the only thing that could stop it was an early Machamp. I'm even old enough to remember Hyper Beam Tauros being OU. Count me in.
You can do that with literally any other Fighting-type weak pokemon EXCEPT Zoroark. They both have the same ability, Illusion. A Zoroark coming out in its normal form would give away the fact that it’s actually the Hisuian form.
I named my female spiritomb Eris because its the goddess of chaos and spiritomb looks pretty chaotic. My 2nd favorite pokemon in the game after mimikyu tbh. Also its walking animation is funny/cute. Generally awesome pokemon.
@turkoositerapsidi I did it for a long time without the guide, flying around at night to spot the wisps more easily. Got about 90% then got bored and gave up lol
@@johnmartinez7440 I did look the last ones with guide too, tho if remembering correctly it was not that complete. And I think I did use guide not that often in the game because Legends A. is just so fun game to experience without it. Sadly Pokémon is not translated to my language, so I play in English, but the spiritomb quest givers name in LA is pretty funny in my language, when I first saw that I just laughed. Could not prevent that.
Yo! This man has been - for years - taking Pokemon no one in their right mind would use and turns them into threats! I’m so glad Haydunn has stuck around for as long as he has!
you are my favorite youtuber rn!!! i always laugh at your commentary and mon names and usually i get bored with gameplays like this but your strats are so interesting i watch every vid the whole way through :))
Haydennn this is awesome. I ran the exact same set max hp, 128 def on my old shiny spiritomb back in BDSP. This one me awesome fames. Glad to see it in SV! Great content lately man. Loving it. Cheers!
I got back into competitive play since xy, and now I know why my sableye has been having no effect on certain pokemon. I didn't know that dark types were now immune to prankster. Thanks for the lesson.
Haydunn i love you and your content, watching even before the X & Y games. Everytime i come back to Pokemon your content helps me to really get into the newest generation of the games! 🙏🏼❤️
Got an idea that could be funny to try. Its lowkey not good but definitely funny. Either Dodrio or Flamigo with Tangled Feet, and you use a Wiki Berry so that you get confusion intentionally at low health. Pair it with high speed and Bulk Up to try to fend for yourself until you go low, a defensive tera like Steel, and then Endure if you think you'll die without activation. The Wiki activates and you get a strong evasion boost, so you can dodge all sorts of stuff and try to fire back through confusion. Too bad a special attacker doesn't get Tangled Feet.
A bulky Spiritomb with Rest, Sleep Talk, Calm Mind, and Dark Pulse/Will-o-Wisp is (IMO) an amazing tank. Rest keeps it healthy, Sleep Talk lets it stay active while healing, and Calm Mind boosts its Special Attack and Special Defense, making it a late-game wall and sweeper. Dark Pulse hits hard with STAB and flinches, while Will-o-Wisp cripples physical attackers. Its Ghost/Dark typing gives great immunities, and it’s tough to take down once it sets up. Great for stalling, spreading burns, or sweeping after a few Calm Minds! Definitely a worthy pokemon for me.
I've always loved spiritomb and feel like it doesn't get the respect it deserves as a support wall because of that poor hp. Back in gen 8 when we had to do wifi battles to get the shiny birds I made a trick room team that used it to great effect, and I've never been more proud. Literally a normal spiritomb standing in the face of a dynamaxed suicune's scalds and eating it between pain split and snarl just wasting all of its dyna turns. Good times. Will-o-Wisp, Snarl, Pain Split are all just strong moves to have on such a solid defensive mon. Thanks for giving this boy a chance to shine, Hayden.
Remember several Mewtwo raid groups in scarlet, I solo queued for, dropped the raid when I brought Spiritomb. Ice beam was the only thing Mewtwo could hit with.
I made a spiritomb based off the anime counterpart Cynthia uses (hypnosis dream eater destiny bond sucker punch). And honestly it worked really well lmfao deff annoyed my friends in battles.
I got to Masterball rank with Spiritomb being my main lead. Trick room, will o wisp, foul play and my favorite trick: ally switch. He's actually really good.
Gotta love the best Snowglobe ever reaping & being spooky. Maybe an idea is a Haydunn classics team build deal with a Old dog new tricks kinda moveset/item ideology. Just a thought don't shoot the messenger 🤷 😅 Love seeing you taking any mons that's not respected or used and making them eat whole teams thanks man!
Bro you had the OP whimsicott setup too lol leech seed and giga drain on whimsicott is a nightmare with cotton guard and taunt and you get a lot of rage quits lol
I think it use to be able to use silver wind, it was a bug version of ominous wind I remember a friend just spamming those 2 moves to try and get the stat buffs
LMAO! My man, I apologize that these comments are long but I can't help but to comment when I see these suhweet plays! Everybody be bringing the Timbs to the Haydunn Battles! Whats with the rate of HD-Boots lately? Like, everybody brings two to three against you x D Haydunn be hazardous, they know! LOL! Spiritomb is a defensive beast, YES! It has an awesome move pool and only one resistance is fantastic- esp when you use it against other Ghosts! The WoW set is super nice; I like this! I've found some good use out of Trick Room and Pain Split to get the right kind of set ups needed for Trick Room teams. Memento is also super nice with Spiritomb. We went on a tear during last year's Ghost Tournie- despite all the Normal Mimikyus and Fairy Fluttermanes! Love Spiritomb! I used Nasty Plot, for the extra power during the Tourney, but Calm Mind is actually much better for this one cause you get that longevity. Thanks for the games! 2nd Game lead was well played! That Toxic on the DEF Deoxys was crucial! bites nails waiting to see the Dynamic Punch OMG IT CONNECTED! YUHS!* DYNAMIC! LOL! Rock on! Great set! I'll be honest, I've been getting everything I need out of these vids lately! You're killing it! But come to think of it, if I could suggest something a little different, Idk, maybe an Anniversary or Subscriber special or something- I'd love to see a showcase of all of YOUR favorite mons from over the years! Like, out of your teams from the different eras, who do you love? LOL! Not necessarily based on stats or w/e but moreso, about your own personal history with the mons. Who pulled you through some awesome battles? And of course, the 4-Move showcase that has become super-stylish as of late! Keep in mind, I've been watching since gen 6 battles and I have seen the growth! Thanks, Haydunn! Let's GO! PS. Or, whole teams. Like, now that I think about it, I'm like, "When has Haydunn ever showcased a whole team theme?" Like, it might be interesting to see you give the 4-Move showcase love to a team mechanic, like Weather or Trick Room. Really play up like, why you picked the mon for that particular set up. Idk! You're the man and Im just a fan! Rock on! WOO!
Bro I’ve never played competitively before and I wanted to give it a try. I went to go play singles and realized they only let you do 3 on 3. I’ve been watching your videos this whole time and it hurt my soul.
Hey haydunn, I see what you are doing, using pokemons you already use to make making videos easier. All I have to say is I don't care. Great content! Loved it as much as any other video. Also, if you want to post any other game or more stuff about yourself or other interests I would also enjoy watching. Cheers
Quagsire is one of the least spikey pokemon in existence. Its whole shtick is being round and smooth. How does it make sense for this thing to get spikes? Lol
Cynthia, the GOAT, didn’t lead with
it for no reason
Destroyed his Pikachu deservingly
In the Masters 8. Spiritomb taking out half of Ash's team made Cynthia more threatening and why shes a top tier trainer.
Volo did as well, right?
He did @@turkoositerapsidi
@@dngrn I liked that fight, quite epic, thanks for confirmation.
If you're old enough to remember when sableye and spiritomb had no weaknesses, you get a senior discount at your favorite restaurant.
Which includes me so YIPPEE!!!
I’m not that old, but hey a discount is a discount 😂
no? everyone forgot bug type exist and that the dark was weak to it.
I'm old enough to remember when Snorlax was the king of the metagame and the only thing that could stop it was an early Machamp.
I'm even old enough to remember Hyper Beam Tauros being OU. Count me in.
Old enough? Man i still play those games. Gen 3,4,and 5 hold up incredibly well
@sleepyheadjirachi ghost resists bug types
That spiritomb sweep made me feel things. 108 things, to be exact
Sounds like you got cursed by 108 evil spirits.
Day 2 of asking for a team that uses a hisuian zoroark that transforms into a regular zoroark to get people to throw a fighting move and it do nothing
You can do that with literally any other Fighting-type weak pokemon EXCEPT Zoroark. They both have the same ability, Illusion. A Zoroark coming out in its normal form would give away the fact that it’s actually the Hisuian form.
Team preview
@@reddy4play nah cause they'd get confused. It'd work. trust me
😂😂 this sounded really fun till i thought about it
@@greysonschaefer6147 why would they get confused, assuming they know how illusion works
9:24 they named their Krookodile "handbag" ;___;
Lmao
Hurricane=Nevercane
Focus Punch=Focus Miss
Zap Cannon=Zap Maybe
Hypnosis=HypNOPEsis
Inferno=InferNO
Bogus blast
Isn't focus blast a focus miss? Tho it has a big t different name in original language.
Dynamic miss a bunch
zap cannot
Will-O-Miss
Love me some Spiritomb! The lore behind this guy is so dark as well. Gotta love how terrifying some of the mons in a kid's game can be.
So the 108 spirits is a reference to the 108 earthly desires of Buddhism. I always found that neat
Same, love this pokemon,
I named my female spiritomb Eris because its the goddess of chaos and spiritomb looks pretty chaotic. My 2nd favorite pokemon in the game after mimikyu tbh. Also its walking animation is funny/cute. Generally awesome pokemon.
The thumbnail is looking extra nice.
My friend EchoBows has been going crazy on them. Definitely check the links in the description! Goated artist
@@Haydunn definitely will, his art looks awesome!
if spiritomb had better recovery then people would use it more.
I will never forget my hunt for wisps in Legends: Arceus, just to have that merciless ghost
I'm sad to say I traded for it for my pokedex lol
Did you not use internet guide at all? If so that is really strong willed.
@turkoositerapsidi I did it for a long time without the guide, flying around at night to spot the wisps more easily. Got about 90% then got bored and gave up lol

Ha - Krookadile was named French for “Handbag” - they used to make suitcases and handbags out of alligators many years ago
They still do. Grim.
Yo! This man has been - for years - taking Pokemon no one in their right mind would use and turns them into threats! I’m so glad Haydunn has stuck around for as long as he has!
Honestly. I still remember him on the DPP gamefaqs posts. Imagine my surprise when I seen him posting in MH stories.
the most nerdy pokemon insult is "you're a water/ground type" and wait for them to realize you're saying they're allergic to grass lmao
We want to tell people to "touch grass" that badly, eh
you are my favorite youtuber rn!!! i always laugh at your commentary and mon names and usually i get bored with gameplays like this but your strats are so interesting i watch every vid the whole way through :))
joke on Quagsire being the average gamer who doesn't like to touch grass...haha genius bro
So this is what "no views - 1 minute ago" feels like.
Most original way of saying first. Cool
@@katcrack_kujohe wasn’t first
@@Ushku🫣
Game 2 starting with a dual screening Deoxys getting toxic'd by a quagsire, what is this, gen 4 OU?
Lmao. Very true
Spiritomb is such a cool design
Love seeing a new Haydunn video drop
Appreciate the support my dude
Another banger! This guys saving my out of state trip one video at a time. Man’s out here doing gods work.
As a native French speaker, your opponent's nicknaming game was hilarious. GGWP!
We need some Paul or Frostitute action.

if my username was an indication, Spiritomb is my favorite Pokémon period.
Pokerogue shiny spiritomb?
@@thahirshibu5042 No actually, a recolor I made 16 or so years ago on Paint.
Alternatively: Everyone not using Spiritomb is using Spiritomb wrong
Up till gen 6 Sabeleye and Spiritomb were a PROBLEM competitively
Man, spiritomb misses pursuit.

I tried wifi battling 1 time when violet came out and lost so bad I gave up, now I just stick to watching Haydunn

Shiny birds?
@@johnmartinez7440 the galar forms of the kanto trio. they were given away to people who participated in 3 different seasons of online play.
finally someone is giving spiritomb the love it deserves!
Remember several Mewtwo raid groups in scarlet, I solo queued for, dropped the raid when I brought Spiritomb. Ice beam was the only thing Mewtwo could hit with.
Spiritomb is one of my favourite ghost pokemons, so cool!
I miss ultimate wall trick room spiritomb
I made a spiritomb based off the anime counterpart Cynthia uses (hypnosis dream eater destiny bond sucker punch). And honestly it worked really well lmfao deff annoyed my friends in battles.
A bit late to notice, but that Krok's name translates to "Handbag" in French, and I think it's my fav nickname ever ! Haha
This man can make anything work
Jirachi is putting those numbers in these past videos
I'm definitely nicknaming my Quagsire as "average gamer" moving forward baha 🤣
I got to Masterball rank with Spiritomb being my main lead. Trick room, will o wisp, foul play and my favorite trick: ally switch. He's actually really good.
Now that was a fun video to watch. I always watch these right away but something about this one hit different
The french player had sick nicknames lmao. Fire Gipsy? Handbag? I'm dying!! 😂

I really wanna see you use some Iron Thorns
bro love the hoodie allen remix song for the intro.
Haydunn you are so awesome! My favorite pktuber that does online battles. Your 1 liners are top tier 💜
The french names of this guy's pokemons were hilarious 😂
Been watching Quagmire be a menace for years now! Love these videos 🔥🔥
Bro you had the OP whimsicott setup too lol leech seed and giga drain on whimsicott is a nightmare with cotton guard and taunt and you get a lot of rage quits lol
MY FAVORITE POKEMON! THANK YOU FOR SHOWCASING IT! ❤
Thanks from
Germany i really enjoy your Videos !:)
Thanks for watching!
Definitely looking forward to more Zoroark and doubles shenanigans
I was not laughing at Spiritomb when Cynthia sent one out as her lead. You don’t have any fairies, you’re probably gonna be in for a bad time.
It was my toxic-infestation vespiquen who took care of her Spiritomb, but evenso, it took a huge chunk out of my moves' PPs.
What about Volo?
I think it use to be able to use silver wind, it was a bug version of ominous wind
I remember a friend just spamming those 2 moves to try and get the stat buffs
why didnt leech seed work? prankster nulls to all dark types?
exactly
Would love to see some mono type or other full team themes if you’re down

More battles the better
Haydunn, ru able to utilize Araquanid as an attacker considering water bubble's doubled water power?
lol Quagmire. Giggity
these longer videos are so good
How do I remember seeing a Haydunn video for spiritomb with the same title? Is it a reupload or am I tripping?
Mono ghost team with destiny bond, hazard lead frosslass and possibly trick room jellicent?
Can you make a vid explaining what your team would be if you were a Pokémon Champion ?
these videos are my life support i swear 💀
Bro you should do some double battles sometimes! So many more Pokémon you can use doing that, like eviolite charjabug. He has a sick doubles ability
Spiritomb is really cool I like using will o wisp and foul play on sword dance setters
First opponent had pretty good nicknames
Id like to see Lurantis in one of these videos
Great showcase. I always liked Spiritomb.
Make my boy Poliwrath useful. Let him have his day in the sun (or maybe rain)
Is it me or shouldn't poison lower special attack of affected pokemon since burn lowers physical and para lowers speed?
He is a trick room setters that can't be taunted or faked out
It can be taunted but just not by a prankster user
@@Haydunn dark types are immune to taunt
What about Dusclops?
I think my Spiritomb set in gen 6 ru had icy wind on it. Don't remember what for tho
You could've earthquaked the roost no?

@@Haydunnyou’re the goat
Thank you Haydunn!
Slowbro videos are always appreciated.

What is your Spiritomb Build here? EV-Spread?

Question… why didn’t leech seed affect TTar? Isn’t he rock dark?
Prankster doesn’t effect dark types
Quagsire is one of the least spikey pokemon in existence. Its whole shtick is being round and smooth. How does it make sense for this thing to get spikes? Lol
i used him back in the good old days with steelix and hitmontop :3
I prefer rocky helmet for spiritomb. you can imagine how pissed off i was at BDSP for being "faithful" (except when they remove stuff)
Why didn’t the Typhlosion go for infernal parade instead of fire blast? Wouldn’t that have KO’d?
Wouldn't say 0% it's been one of my go to walls since gen 4 and with the current tera gimmick I've been alot of fun
Choice band Spiritomb was one of my favorites to use in Pokémon brick bronze RIP 🪦
I need a Zebstrika video my guy! I Bo-lieve in you!!
Love to see Jirachi on the team again!
Hearing that track sample from "No Interruption" sent me back to highschool, holy sh lmao
This video blows my mind
Did i just watch Spiritomb sweep 5/6 of a team 😮💨
I read that as no one uses sephiroth for some reason and was very confused 😂
