Cloyster singlehandedly carried the whole team! ...by setting a T-spike and then failing to put a dent in Arceus but hey they're trying, okay? Bit more respect for your elders, Cloyster's been here since Gen 1 and can barely keep up with all these young upstarts lol
Gave vital info on ev spreads for Arceus, put up t spikes, forced Arceus to respect the shell smash, and tanked attacks. Not bad for a unusable pokemon before ss
That speed tie win, absolutely huge, let you get rid of Xerneas as a late game threat with a knock off, opposing team was heavily threatened by Yveltal so they had to throw their best win condition away. Had you lost the speed tie, you'd have used Mewtwo for the KO as it outspeeds and can finish off a 63% health Yveltal (After the recovery from Oblivion Wing). However, a lot could have dramatically changed from this point on. After that KO, he could have come in and setup Geomancy. You would have then definitely lost 1 or more mons, as Mewtwo Psystrike (During Setup) + Arceus Extreme Speed is not enough to KO, so you don't get away with just sacking Cloyster. Tldr: Coin flip wins game.
When I heard u say gengar with levitate… I thought it was a brain fart. Then I saw it was gen 6. I miss that mon… cursed body just isn’t the same vibe.
it's mostly because Mewtwo Y is a hard check into M-Gengar and it outspeeds almost everything except Deoxys. It just falls off later gens just because of no more Mega and too many good Dark types. Also higher speed tiers too.
I know it comes with years of practice, but both singles and doubles guys processing speed is intimidating to me lol they just consider so much so fast
I was confused why he didn't bring Gengar in to absorb the tspike. Then I realized this was good ol levitate Gengar. Haha the one scenario where cursed body is better.
If the opportunity presents itself, I wouldn’t mind watching a live commentary for that final game. Maybe you could invite another player to co-commentate, especially if it’s a gen you’re unfamiliar with.
I'm a huge freezai fan (this goes without saying) but it's a little disorienting to me whenever he edits out a few seconds here and there (e.g. around turns 14 and 18). But I know he has to consider viewer retention or whatever. At any rate, great job freezai!
Not in this gen to start with, but even if it was, it wouldn't really help. Xern is still a great pokemon, so most pokemon will still often lose, even at +2, +2, +2. Which means your specific check to xern would be better off running an item that helps deal with more than just xern.
I have a question actually, why do you always only do one T spike? Does the extra damage from toxic posion not matter that much, or is it to avoid giving them a two for one turn economy with defog?
Poison damage: 12% every turn. Badly poison damage: 6%, then 12%, then 18%. In offense vs offense matchups you usually only put up one t spike because mons won't be staying on the field as long, so they'll end up taking more damage from regular poison overall, or the same as badly poison if they're on the field for 3 turns.
Regular poison does 1/8 per turn, whereas toxic poison only deals 1/16 on the first turn and increases by 1/16 on each subsequent turn. This means that it takes 4 turns for toxic poison damage to exceed regular poison. Given how frequently Pokémon switch out (resetting the damage to 1/16) or get knocked out, it's often better to just take the flat 1/8 from 1 spike, rather than expending an extra turn to set up 2.
Well done! Also, please bring back randbats alongside of these. A lot of people subbed to u in the first place for randbats, including me, and I constantly see the demand for them in your comments. At the very least, could you at least tell us if you will or will not play/post them again? I don’t want you to take this as a stranger demanding something of you, bc that’s not cool, you owe me nothing. But I’m truly the *biggest* fan of your random battles and I’d be remiss not to ask for them to return
One spike does a constant 12% damage. Two spikes does 6%, then 12%, then 18%, etc. by turn 3, they will have done the same amount of damage, and two layers does more from turn 4 onward. In a fast pace metagame like Ubers, you want 1 layer to do more over 1-2 turns rather than high damage over the long run. Also, he couldn’t give the arceus free turns

that one T-spike working overtime
Speaking from experience yeah it can do some work.
That was his plan from the start, and boy did it get the damage he needed.

I don't know anything about Ubers from lots of the middle gens, so it's a nice surprise to see Mewtwo doing anything whatsoever!
Bro mew2 has always been good
Its mega forms put in quite some work, especially the Y variant
it's mostly because Mewtwo Y is a hard check into M-Gengar and it outspeeds almost everything except Deoxys. It just falls off later gens just because of no more Mega and too many good Dark types. Also higher speed tiers too.

Your analysis is so arriculute and easy to follow despite being live during the game, great plays man 💯 setting the stage for team India comeback
I know it comes with years of practice, but both singles and doubles guys processing speed is intimidating to me lol they just consider so much so fast
Nice game, I just saw two errors in your thoughts. Arceus does not get taunt until gen 9, and Xerneas/Yveltal do not get Defog until gen 7.
I was confused why he didn't bring Gengar in to absorb the tspike. Then I realized this was good ol levitate Gengar. Haha the one scenario where cursed body is better.
As you can see, Team India is down 2 to 0
Gets the t-spikes up like he's a true hero
its a comeback from india now they 4-2 up
can we win 2 more, for the cup
Freezai goes to cloy setting tspikes with the boi
Their Arceus definitely wasn't Taunt because Arceus didn't get that move until SV
Well, thanks for removing all the comments calling out how trashy the sponsor is, I still hope you would address it
Hope you get the win 🤞🏼
Turn 4 was the best move of this game. Reading recover from Arceus was insane.
Love the video as always but please don’t chop it as much! It’s a bit hard to follow like this
Nice job, were in full control here
If the opportunity presents itself, I wouldn’t mind watching a live commentary for that final game. Maybe you could invite another player to co-commentate, especially if it’s a gen you’re unfamiliar with.
"I always go to mewtwo, I always outspeed and I always win"
I was just watching a random battles video when I got the notification lfg midnight post
Freezai once again did not say gg. Was this not a good game?
Goatzai prevails once more
Speed tie was crazy and toxic spikes low key won the rest of the game after that
I'm a huge freezai fan (this goes without saying) but it's a little disorienting to me whenever he edits out a few seconds here and there (e.g. around turns 14 and 18). But I know he has to consider viewer retention or whatever. At any rate, great job freezai!
“They don’t know I’m arceus ghost”
This was a cool match. Thank you for the content
clicking focus blast at the second to last turn was kinda troll wasn’t it?
Glad to catch this one early!
Why didn’t regular gengar remove the t-spike when switched in?
Great video. Hope you bring back more ladder content
great play, great video!
freezai the type of dude to narrate while he make a sandwich
“yea we always add more mayonnaise here”
Why is mirror herb not more popular in formats with Xerneas?
Mirror herb was added in gen 9, so it didnt exist back then
Not in this gen to start with, but even if it was, it wouldn't really help. Xern is still a great pokemon, so most pokemon will still often lose, even at +2, +2, +2. Which means your specific check to xern would be better off running an item that helps deal with more than just xern.
OK, we're playing in the Ubers World Cup Finals
Well played!
I have a question actually, why do you always only do one T spike? Does the extra damage from toxic posion not matter that much, or is it to avoid giving them a two for one turn economy with defog?
Its because the damage from poison does more than toxic poison is higher over 3(?) turns, so its usually better to do only one layer
Poison damage: 12% every turn.
Badly poison damage: 6%, then 12%, then 18%.
In offense vs offense matchups you usually only put up one t spike because mons won't be staying on the field as long, so they'll end up taking more damage from regular poison overall, or the same as badly poison if they're on the field for 3 turns.

What’s the reason to not have two tspikes up vs just one? I never see people go for two
Regular poison does 1/8 per turn, whereas toxic poison only deals 1/16 on the first turn and increases by 1/16 on each subsequent turn.
This means that it takes 4 turns for toxic poison damage to exceed regular poison. Given how frequently Pokémon switch out (resetting the damage to 1/16) or get knocked out, it's often better to just take the flat 1/8 from 1 spike, rather than expending an extra turn to set up 2.
i dont understand when he say something like Gengar should take 1 turn to remove t-spike
someone help
it has levitate until it mega evolves
gengar has levitate so it needs to mega(lose levitate) to remove tspikes
only grounded poison types can remove tspikes

does showdown not have dark mode? i recently found your channel and like the content but every time i open i get blinded.
Dark mode on Showdown is kinda ass
I don’t play ps at all, why not set up a 2nd tspike?
2nd tspike only does more damage if the pokemon stays for more than 3 turns and you usually need to switch a lot
One spike does a constant 12% damage. Two spikes does 6%, then 12%, then 18%, etc. by turn 3, they will have done the same amount of damage, and two layers does more from turn 4 onward. In a fast pace metagame like Ubers, you want 1 layer to do more over 1-2 turns rather than high damage over the long run. Also, he couldn’t give the arceus free turns
@@sirloin33 thank you, I always thought the first turn of toxic did equal damage to a normal poison tick
How are you looking at a team with three mons immune to toxic spikes and saying "year toxic spikes are really good here"? What is the thought process.
Xern and pdon are crazy good mons and poisoning them makes handling them easier, I assume
gen 6 arceus doesnt get taunt
Sadge when no Mega Mawile
