Best of one closed teamsheets is when a little devil pops up on your shoulder and says "ruin people's day", you look to your other shoulder where a little angel sits, it looks back at you and goes "what do you want from me? he's right".
I really kinda like what you put together here.... You didn't go extremely cheesy, but instead took some meta mons and added some uncommon tech to them......... Oh ya and then there's an orthworm in there too 😂😂
i think it's interesting how a closed teamsheet best of 1 set is so chaotic. i play singles and my main tier is gen 3 ou, which doesn't even have team preview and you have a preset lead, but (once you get high enough on the ladder to avoid people using random garbage) it's really fun. the information game is insane on the surface since every mon has infinite sets with mixed coverage, but an experienced player can pretty accurately guess the team and sets. it helps a lot that gen 3 is very well balanced and basically solved
Mr. Moxie Boosted I just have to say thank you so much for your content. I’ve been having such a rough time but ur videos always put a smile on my face. Thank you so much and keep it up on the amazing content.
this is why closed sheet and best of 3 is the best. It makes some good for a cheese strat, but if it's not acctually good it won't help in the other two games.
I'm a fan of the idea of closed team sheets. My favourite thing about Pokemon battles is the surprise factor, the shenanigans, the weird stuff; open team sheets shut a lot of that down. While it may be healthier overall for the competitive scene, closed team sheets are where it's at for me. Team preview is enough scouting as far as I'm concerned.
not gonna lie, ive never liked competitive pokemon, its never been my thing. but your videos are not only entertaining, but also explain things well enough for me to follow along. personally, i still wont play comp, but i still enjoy these vids!
I had to switch devices to answer the question I prefer closed I'm not like a serious player with competitive and I learn better by the facing with a bit of surprise I feel I remember how they wanna run better that way. But watching the competive debate channels like this one has sparked a desire to try and squeeze more out of pokemon besides shiny hunting so I decided with advice you give in videos to break through the wall with my teeth and learn a world of pokemon I'm still a baby in. Thank you for the advice you give in your other videos and explaining how people think because it may not be my best way of learning I'm still learning something
I get that open team sheets is needed for tournaments where people who go later in the tournament have the advantage of knowing the strategies of people who went before, but the argument that people having unpredictable and possibly creative strategies is a problem seems silly. Like, everything being so centralized around a few pokemon and strategies is the biggest thing that keeps me away from competitive pokemon, and wanting to counter that by having no surprises (Again, beyond the necessary evil of preventing the above situation) feels like taking the fun out of things
Perosnally closed team sheets feels more natural. I play yugooh and having some supprise tech options is always ideal and letting my opponent know everything i am doing is weird. Letting them figure things out outbof the best of 3 is better and lets players test each others deductions skills
I enjoy the closed TS ladders for the fact that fun and creative teams have a better chance to shine but for the competitive scene where you're spending your time going to and playing the actual circuit for championship points I think open team sheets is a much better and healthier way to play the game.
I think close team sheets are very funny because it allows for more "original" and cheesy sets, but for offficial events open team sheets should 100% be the standard.
Closed team sheets are nice for normal levels of niche strategies, but then people get way too niche to do anything slightly rational and then it ruins the game because it’s a game of psychology rather than a game of strategy
Exactly you would have never had Pachurisu win a worlds with nuzzle if open team sheets were a thing. I prefer chaos over the same thing over and over where its the same pokemon over and over. They should have two formats like the tcg with standard and expanded. One open sheets and the other closed.
@@ericnieves5793 pachurisu would never won? man it's not like there's 5 other matches you need to win in order to actually get to the finals and info would've gotten around by then. also not like it's best of 3 so if you get surprised 1st time, adapt 2nd time... anyway close team sheets will never be good for serious competitive because if you get annoyed at dying to crit then closed teams is worst. RNG is never good for serious matches. as for random fun in not serious scenes, then sure make 2 different versions for players to choose, gamefreak will just not do any of that quality of life stuff, downgrade the next game, and bet everyone will buy. idc about creators buying because what will 30 creators contribute to the overall money...
Im surprised no-one's tried Coil Zap Cannon Eelektross yet. I personally love accuracy boosting moves because they make a lot of strong moves a lot more consistent, but sadly, very few Pokemon get accuracy boosting moves. Gravity is an option on a support pokemon though.
Is there a way to get enough points from online gameplay? I heard that you need to go to events but no events happen in the area where i live, no city nearby host them and when there is one it's usually very far away and i am at work so no way i am gonna go there.
If you're cracked you don't need any major travel. You can get 480 points locally if you manage to win your events. 50*6, assuming you win every MSS. So 300. Then 30*6, so 180 more if you win every PC. Then the last 20 from these online ones.
