meteor beam taking 2 turns and still not being a guaranteed hit is insane rock types having the most weaknesses and not a singular good reliable move as a type identity is kinda funny ngl
Used to a run a Defence-invested Assault Vest Ampharos on Showdown now and then. The surprising bulk caught a few players off-guard, so it was a fun chap. Nice to see it get a bit of love, and only a pity it never did get that dragon-typing on the normal form
The best part about every video is really that the opening music always matches with the featured mon's generation and I don't think people appreciate it that much. ❤ Awesome video as always Haydunn!!
Instead of Tera blast I’m pretty sure ampharos learns dazzling gleam with the same power of 80 so it’s better to have that with consistent coverage and then the stab if you need it when tera’d
Ampharos is what I call a perfect Storymon. Linear three-stage evolution, strong offensive STAB, decent bulk, some useful resists and defensive abilities. Sweeps through Will, Wallace, Juan, OHKOs three of Red's Pokemon...
I also ran ampharos recently and found its very effective with assault vest as you can still raise your sp atk with charge beam inone turn if you really need the boost but i feel like modest is enough also run max Def and max special attack
Meteor Beam has two major drawbacks that make it hard to work with, charging, and accuracy. Making it the all or nothing card is very risky. Why not run like a Trailblaze, Power Up Punch Setup on, say a Chestnaught (107 Attack, 122 Def, 64 Speed) with STAB on both moves and the Hidden ability Bulletproof providing immunity from moves like Sludge Bomb, Searing Shot, Puff Pollen and more, as it only has a base 75 SpDef. With Spiky Shield and Synthesis, you could get some good synergy on a Sun team, to help with problematic Water/Rock weaknesses while also setting up for a potential sweep if you have prior setup covered like Stealth Rock Heat Rock Torcoal to set up hazards and sun. Just make sure to deal with any SpAtk threats first before trying to set up Chestnaught. Feels like the vibe to your videos so I thought I'd bring it up
Btw, you can run dazzling gleam over tera blast on tera fairy ampharos which has the same base power of 80 and doesn’t require you to commit the tera in order to use that fairy coverage
Huh, this is an interesting set! I just ran what Smogon said was Mega Ampharos' best set in Sun/Moon. Ooh, imagine if Meteor Beam got the Solar Beam effect in sandstorms…
First Sunflora and now Ampharos, man I love you for giving my second gen bois a chance in the wicked world that is competitive pokemon 😭😭❤️❤️ Ampharos and I THANK YOU MUCH
Amphraros, Thought it was pretty cool since Gen 2. Favorite moment: Imagining that was a Flare Boost drifblim. Not that it would have made a difference, but woulda been funny
They really have to give it Tail Glow, it would fit it perfectly. And since its still fairly slow it wouldn't even be "too good" on it, but it would at least give it some nice wallbreaking power. It also needs some more coverage. Like it only has Focus Blast, Dragon Pulse and Dazzling Gleam as viable moves, Power Gem isn't that great. On the physical side it has Fire Punch, Ice Punch and Stomping Tantrum, those types would be great on the special side
Tera water seems like it would be really good. Water is a great defensive type, and it covers the one weakness, ground, as well as hitting fire and rock. Fairy does hit dragon, dark, and fighting, but there are also lots of good fairies to run. Your clefable, for example, brings home the bacon every time i see it tbh. Knock off go brrrr.
10% is always 50% 😔 loved seeing amphy crack some skulls though. also looking forward to the inevitable glaceon sweep, its my second favorite eeveelution after flareon!
You know...for the amount of set up you use and are generally common on these wifi teams, its kind of amazing we dont see roar/whirlwind users to counter that. Do those moves still exist this generation?
Ampharos should get Tail Glow and you can't change my mind
Should get some other coverage moves too.
It wouldn't even be broken with it. It's probably an overlook.
@@turboshazed7370 The fact that Muk and Grandbull get flamethrower and Ampheros doesn't is criminal
@@arthursdl Maybe with its Mega it would, but Volbeat has it and sucks and Manaphy is pretty alright so it wouldn't be that big of a deal
@@cmoney8979the lower speed would be enough to not make it overpowered
One of the few bipedal evos that didn't end up humanoid. Love him for that.
He looks like an Electric type Breloom and I love it
Yay, my Boi gets love, literally in my profile picture!
We all love Ampharos in this house.
Ampharos my beloved
My goat in my Heartgold playthrough. My favourite electric type. And not being a gen 3 pokemon while being one of favourites is an achievement 😂
I am married to ampharos
We love u amphy
meteor beam taking 2 turns and still not being a guaranteed hit is insane
rock types having the most weaknesses and not a singular good reliable move as a type identity is kinda funny ngl
Rumor has it that if you let Ampharos' hair grow it will become a dragon
Oh so that explains the wales flag
Waiting for meteor beam to get the solar beam treatment. During sandstorm meteor beam fires the same turn you use it.
Then solar beam needs to get boost on turn 1 too
That would be broken, they’d have to remove the special attack boost if that were the case
You mean the electroshot treatment
That’s just sandstorm electro shot lol
Give Solar Beam/Blade the boost.

Still wild to me that our first sheep pokemon ends up a dragon
Bro same
I do the same with Drag. Specs Lele expects to oneshot with Psychic, then this mf 60% and Sludge Waves into Oblivion
Ampharos being like "I'm fast as fuck boi!"
I love the camera breaking so it starts the Tera animation while your trainer is thinking
Should learn Tail Glow!
The best part about every video is really that the opening music always matches with the featured mon's generation and I don't think people appreciate it that much. ❤ Awesome video as always Haydunn!!
0:32 Tera Fairy Blast sounds so right for some reason
Ampharos is also adorable and extremely huggable
Goofy giraffe designed to sell plushies, and I aint even mad

Loving the absolute michelin star cooking that you do Haydunn! This ampharos set is insane! (Also big fan of your channel for a long time!)
Ampharos has always been one of my favorite electric types.
What a wonderful way to spend lunch today! Great content and love the team!
I found you yesterday and you're my favorite pokemon youtuber by far. Please keep pumping out these videos I've been on a major binge sesion!
Ampharos was my MVP when I was a kid playing Gold and Silver.
ok I still can't get over how frickin fast this guy uploads like he just posted monday
Ampharos is one of my favorite Pokemon. Having a Mareep in Crystal is my one Pokemon I never leave home without!
Instead of Tera blast I’m pretty sure ampharos learns dazzling gleam with the same power of 80 so it’s better to have that with consistent coverage and then the stab if you need it when tera’d
Unlike meteor beam, I never miss a Haydunn video. Thanks for another 3 battles good sir.

If only people actually cared about that. These days, people only care about viability in competitive multiplayer.
Game Freak was wild for the hard hitting slow as heck mons from Gen 2
I also ran ampharos recently and found its very effective with assault vest as you can still raise your sp atk with charge beam inone turn if you really need the boost but i feel like modest is enough also run max Def and max special attack
That was the coolest tera throw I've ever seen 😂 23:36
0:38 we love Head-Empty Ampharos, he’s just a BEEg Bean 🥺🥰
Damn i totally forgot Ampharos was in Scarlet/Violet lol. Haydunn coming in clutch at lunch time!
That Amphy nickname caught me off guard. He is indeed a big sheep pikachu.

yessss been waiting for the ampharos episode, thank you haydunn!
You did my boy a justice! Ampharos has always been one of my favorite Pokémon! Awesome video
Ampharos has been in my top 6 favorites since playing Silver in the olden days! love to see the electric alpaca go hard.
Lightning sheep go brrrrr
have you seen how majestic Mega Ampharos is?
Btw, you can run dazzling gleam over tera blast on tera fairy ampharos which has the same base power of 80 and doesn’t require you to commit the tera in order to use that fairy coverage
Huh, this is an interesting set! I just ran what Smogon said was Mega Ampharos' best set in Sun/Moon.

As an average amphoras enjoyer, you could use Electro Ball instead of Thunderbolt, since it does more damage the faster you are
The shadow moving across the battlefield starting around 2:26 looks so bad lol. Inching frame by frame
Ampharos was one of my faves in GSC
lovee your content, constantly making top tier entertainment. im really curious as to how you build your team and what makes you choose them
Ampharos is one of my all time faves!
This makes my heart so happy!!
Your cover art is so dope I love it
Good memories of ol' Mega Ampharos.
(Yes, it is 11 years old, you are old.)
First Sunflora and now Ampharos, man I love you for giving my second gen bois a chance in the wicked world that is competitive pokemon 😭😭❤️❤️ Ampharos and I THANK YOU MUCH
that guy in the second match up really pulled a geeta and used glimmora as his last pokemon? damn...
This thing can fire a meteor but cant make its tail glow 😂
14:47 omg glaceon does have little boots!
Magnetic Flux with a plus ability... Does it increase both defenses?
Bro ive been asking for Ampharos videos for ages hahahah thanks Hayduun
Holy crap I did not know this sheep had the power of meteors
We need the doodles to show what would have happened in the fight had they not surrendered
I keep a lil Ampharos plush at my desk at work. His name is Wonder! just like how I named him in Silver when I was a kid.
If Longneck was a pokemon
Use some of Ampharos' electricity to charge yo pro controller Haydunn.
Amphraros, Thought it was pretty cool since Gen 2.
Favorite moment: Imagining that was a Flare Boost drifblim. Not that it would have made a difference, but woulda been funny

Ampharos does NOT suck. He is amazing
Ampharos is one of my fave mons that i could barely use... Thanks for giving the guy some love!!!!
It got dazzling gleam this gen 👍
Tera water seems like it would be really good. Water is a great defensive type, and it covers the one weakness, ground, as well as hitting fire and rock. Fairy does hit dragon, dark, and fighting, but there are also lots of good fairies to run. Your clefable, for example, brings home the bacon every time i see it tbh. Knock off go brrrr.
Always loved Ampharos, great video as always!
Btw in the pokepaste, Ampharos' tera type is set to Electric and not Fairy
Ampharos learns dazzling gleam, do you need to use Tera blast
Ampharos is a really overlooked bug type pokemon
Excuse me why is Avalugg so absolutely tiny lmao a coffee table indeed
Ampharos is such a dope Pokemon. I wanna use one in my next gen 2 playthrough.
I used him in my first playthrough Ampharos will always have a place in my heart❤️
I’m gonna need longer videos my guyyyyyyy😅😅😅😅😅
Sheepachu, I love it 😂
When my Amphy was sick and couldn't power the lighthouse, a kind adventurer found medicine to heal him. Then he became a dragon.
I just built my first set of mons for this generation. I'm excited to battle. Too bad online ranked isn't a full party.
You’re using hail often, maybe please give vanilluxe some love? Idk it seems difficult to make vanilluxe work.
I caught a shiny mareep and named her Elektra 🥳
23:36 wow, new pose
That quality content drop
I have to imagine that the opponent looks at your mon, thinks it's not a threat, and then it immediately becomes a threat
YESS mah boy ampharos getting some love
Why use Tera blast when the thing has D-Gleam?
Team of all girls
Haydunn: My Boi Sheepachu...
I think Pirouette Meloetta would be fun
Ampharos needs a move that boosts Sp.Atack and Speed by 1 stage at the same time
We all (at least those who played Johto games) have a soft spot for Ampharos
You've made Jasmine proud, that's for sure. But yeah keep up the content dude. Always awesome.
*cough* Still waiting on Scrafty video *cough*
Have you played Pokerogue? Not sure if you're into those kinds of games but would love to see you try it out!
Your videos are the highlight of my lunchbreak
10% is always 50% 😔 loved seeing amphy crack some skulls though. also looking forward to the inevitable glaceon sweep, its my second favorite eeveelution after flareon!
feeling a little like Abomasnow should be Megawheat. Our small boy, Snover, would be the miniwheat lol
"One more match" be the magic word. I'd love to see you do something with mah boi Lucario. He's strong but he fell off a bit.
Man made one of my favorite pokemon a beast
That second game was so good!
You know...for the amount of set up you use and are generally common on these wifi teams, its kind of amazing we dont see roar/whirlwind users to counter that. Do those moves still exist this generation?
Ampharos probably the only Pokémon I would sleep with
Day 4 of Hisuian Decidueye video
Sheepachu is such a perfect name.
Love Ampharos, so this one is a ery nice to me ! :D
What kind of spread did you use on the set ?
I just realized the ghost tera hat is based on the ghost from pokemon red and blue.
Ampharos can be such a tank with cotton guard and rest
Ah yes, my old pal Fabio. Oh how I miss your luscious hair.
