Is this how I learn Inteleon no longer learns Focus Energy?? Wtf Game Freak. You give the other two Galar starters broken Abilities and moves, meanwhile Inteleon can't even use its only "semi-viable" set??
This channel seems like it should have 1 mil subs. It just has those vibes. Haydun is an og and his commentary is entertaining so its just baffling to me that he doesn't have 1mil already.
Swear creators just didn’t even like inteleon, the made rillaboom get grassy terrain with an insane move to combo with it, and they gave cinderace an insane ability and amazing move pool to work with it, but they give inteleon a pretty mid ability that relies on rng and can’t even at least give it an always crit move

Also he predicted the luster purge and sent Dragalge to die as a sack but then free switched into the Cacturne after. The cacturnes dark type would have negated the psychic move luster purge
@@platinumsoulja01 the best play in that situation was not crystal clear. He had to risk taking a Psychic or Dragon move, both would have killed Dragalge, but only one would have killed Cacturne. And Cacturne was kinda of an answer for Ting Lu, so it was more valuable. The mistake in my opinion was not using Sucker Punch there.
@@Tungdil_01 That's not true the Cacturne took the dragon move and survived it. So the Cacturne survives both (one being completely immune). The Dragalge dies to both
@@platinumsoulja01 because the opponent used dragon pulse instead of using draco meteor like the majority of people, no way in hell was cacturne living à draco
True. Also he could have predicted the Luster Purge and bring in Cacturne to not waste resources in the late game. It could have been played better but for the dramatic effect is nice.
Your videos inspired me to run a full bug team with some gimmicks that you’ve worked with. I love running themed teams and thought it would be cool to see you work with a squad from each generation if you’re up for the challenge! Keep up the great work 👍🏼
Buddy, been watching your vids since X/Y, we battled a few times on ORAS. I’ll always watch more Haydunn content, so of course I love the long videos, but don’t burn yourself out, especially since you’ve been putting in mad work lately 🔥
Imagine if Snipe Shot was working like Flower Trick. Not only Meowscarada is faster, it also has type adventage, better signature move and can Sucker Punch any potential Aqua Jet's that would threaten KO if it was sash'ed. #JusticeForInteleon.
Great battle man. As for the videos, keep doing a mix of really close battles (like this one) and the focusing on a specific pokemon videos you've been doing the past couple of months. It's cool to learn the stats of different Pokemon and their abilities. Mainly I just want to see close competitive matches. Anyways keep up the great work Haydunn.
any length is fine my man. i watch your video when I eat so 15 minutes is perfect. if it's weekend 20+ minutes is amazing. hope it helped. hope you get to 400K my dude
I’ve been using to it’s so good with the scope lens I’ve used it queue a few times using just ice beam too ☠️ I miss Inteleon’s Gigantimax signature move and form.
13:02 he threw by not sacking tinglu and getting a free first impression. And no, vessel of ruin cuts straight into your spa stats, like how burn cuts your base power in half directly, crit does nothing
In double battles you can use Dragon Cheer to boost Inteleon crit rate. Not having Focus Energy opens a slot for coverage move or for Protect. You can even decide to tera Dragon and score crits with other moves 100% of time.
Quite like the length of the battle was just right for the overall video duration. I kinda lose momentum watching the second battles in some of the other videos cos the first battle is usually wrapped up quite nicely. Been loving coming back and watch Pokémon after a few years of not really following the scene though! Falling back in love with your chill voice again! 💜 Edit: spelling
Great video Cipher happy to see you back my boy!🔥Hope you and the fam are doing well🙏🏾 Gotta say foretress or shuckle two bulky boys with almost every hazard lol.
I can imagine how broken inteleon would be if they made snipe shot 100% crit rate, you can run choice specs instead of scope lens and delete everything 💀
The fact that the Lokix didn't have sucker punch is WILD. Mine does, that way I still have priority long after the first impression. Anywho, amazing Inteleon showcase. I plan on doing something similar with Dragon Cheer in doubles 👀
Intellion was my gen 8 starter and I love it's design. I'm a big fan of the basilisk lizard that it seems based on. I hope they give it back focus energy, I feel it's fair since it's a frail mon.
You said to let you know about video length: my personal preference is 20-35 min :) I like seeing at least two battles with the title mon, but would always appreciate three
Hear me out- Pledge moves should have unique secondary effects for every goddamned starter. Imagine this guy with an improved crit chance and the rainbow effect
Yo Haydunn, can you make a vid making Gumshoos a beast? He’s slow af so gonna need some kinda sticky webs or tailwind, maybe trick room to shine, but it’s ability Stakeout makes him one shot almost anything that switches in on it.
It pisses me off that they deem Inteleon 100% crit too strong and forbid him of learning focus energy. GEE, THAT SOUNDS WAY BETTER THAN COMPLETLY RUIN A F*CKING MOVE ENTIRELY, THANK YOU SMEARGLE FOR F*CKING UP DARKRAI SIGNATURE MOVE.
I'm so confused by 7:00... Opponent already used Tera so you had a 480 BP Close Combat but you used a 180 BP Flare Blitz instead. Or you could have used Will-O-Wisp and as long as RNGesus didn't forsake you, you'd have been guaranteed to get value out of the turn since the burn would completely Nerf Avalugg.
Tell me how close combat is 480 BP here? What? Avalugg is a pure ice type. Flare blitz is my highest damage, and it’s a 2 hit KO in this situation. Will-o would have probably been optimal if I expected the recover, but I opted for the highest damage possible.
@@Haydunn Oh you're right I thought that was Hisuian Avalugg because the colors weren't right but I guess that's what the shiny looks like. Either way I think Will-o-Wisp was probably the safest play since you'd still get something out of the turn if anything else switched in (It would nerf all the remaining physical attackers and at least do something to Lati since Blitz and CC wouldn't do much).
Plus they gave Hisuian Samurott Aqua Cutter, Night Slash and Focus Energy, and since both get the 50% boost from Sharpness it can crit with both STABs for big damage (though thankfully it's slower and less powerful). Still, on paper it's better at the niche Inteleon was created to fill
I don't normally comment on stuff but I've been subbed for like 12 years, optimal video length is as much content as you're able to put out. :pepelove:
252+ Atk Life Orb Lokix First Impression vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Inteleon: 253-298 (90 - 106%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO Ting Lu had a better chance than 37% at winning the game. This is assuming it was adamant
Me personally i don’t really care how long the video is. Look at your arcanine vid, it almost hit the 30min mark, and i watched the whole thing. Why? Cuz the content is great, your vids are just different and straight up informative. Shit, its even making me want to get back into Pokémon haha Over all i would say just keep the two battles per vid no matter how long they are.
i was playing ranked singles yesterday and i had my gyarados out against a tinkton, it was first turn and i used taunt against it and the tinkton used thunderwave. the tinkaton went first and paralized me and my garados suffered a paralisis and didnt move that turn. my question is that i thought taunt went first?
Inteleon was NU in Smogon singles in Gen 8. The 100% crits with Focus Energy, Scope Lens, Snipe Shot Inteleon with Sniper as its ability is rather niche.
Couldn't give Inteleon a 100% crit move, but they gave Urshifu a move that crits 3 times IN A ROW.
And a magic trick from a cat 😂
I'll never not be mad that Meowscarada's signature move does what Inteleon's should have.
@@DefinitelyNotAFerretlmaooooo fffs 😂

Legendary privilege. Either you get something like slow start or you a broken ass mon in some way. Seems to be no in-between

When Lokix came in, doesn't the damage it takes from stealth rock indicate that it's not the bug type?
It most likely have heavy duty boots
True
It definitely does. Definitely an oversight on Haydunn's part but an understandable one. Lots of stuff to keep track of in a battle.
@@providence3436no, heavy duty boots cancels all damage
Ngl I probably realized it during playing the match, but as I do the commentary a week later it’s not something I spotted or mentioned
Why tf did the opponent star in with their lockix, they just needed to sack the ting lu and come back to kill with first impression
True. Also he could have predicted the Luster Purge and bring in Cacturne to not waste resources in the late game. It could have been played better but for the dramatic effect is nice.
they also got very greedy with the calm minds with their first pokémon. could set up a free sub or got in some nice dmg.
Yeah, If you are pretty sure you can one-hit with first, and have enough mons left, you should throw your remaining pokemon in the meat grinder.

At around 10:29 the lokix didnt take 25% damage from stealth rocks so that was a pretty big indicator
You'd think a mon based off of James Bond would have a more diverse movepool but that movepool is as shallow as a puddle. You hate to see it.
Ikr. How do you make a secret agent Pokémon and it has a terrible kit 😂.
The nickname on that Latios killed me. Hahaha “Soul Doodoo”
yea that sounds like a nickname haydunn himself would come up with

Meanwhile Meowscarada just has a signature move that always crits
It's also grass type, one of the worst offensive types in the game. An always critting water move would be absolutely unreal. Just ask Urshifu 🙃
@@BusinessSkrub it also has Protean to change that grass type into anything it wants and get stab on any move. Your turn
No way that Avalugg was named Titanic
Perfect name

Still periodically trying to bring the pledge moves to higher doubles tiers..... It's hard LOL

Game freak when it comes to Inteleon and Kingdra: 100% crits are OP nerf it!
Also game freak: Urshifu
Would you be willing to upload a live commentary battle? I am curious to hear your train of thought while you are in the middle of a match.
Try doubles and Dragon Cheer so the Inteleon gets 100 percent crit rates.
I wish you would've showed a 2nd or even a 3rd match. I really like those videos
10:34 you didn't notice the stealth rock doing neutral damage?
I like the two for one vids. also I love seeing Dragalge putting in work
I have a question: How did you get fell stinger on cacturn? I'm facing a coworker later with only a grass team, so I'd like to know.
Dragon Cheer in Doubles is pretty fun as well.
Everybody hood until Inteleon starts blastin
Yo Haydunn, can you make a vid making Gumshoos a beast? He’s slow af so gonna need some kinda sticky webs or tailwind, maybe trick room to shine, but it’s ability Stakeout makes him one shot almost anything that switches in on it.

One thing a friend and I did was Scope Lense Inteleon with a Dragon Cheer partner
I run hydro pump choice specs timid nature on my lizard - i hate banking on crit chances with a held item - waste of a slot sometimes. Gg!!
Great video Haydunn! ❤️💪🏻
7:50 Mostly concerned about getting your rocks up, eh?
Nice SpongeBob reference with the Dragalge
I just realized that the Zoroark also took less Stealth Rock damage, further signifying it was a fake
2 battle videos >>> (this one was still fye as hell)
simple numel with an eviolite with growth and curse/trailblaze/defense curl and eq and flamethrower.
it’s so fun

Wouldn't Tera Dragon snipe shot work if his ally gets Dragon Cheer for 100% crit still?
