[@someone999555]

I think the biggest reason people dont use lapras isnt that its bad now, at least not in a vacuum. The problem with lapras is that all the alternatives are insane. Umbreon is in the running for best mon in the game, crustle, especially when coordinating with teammates shuts down mages hard, blastoise is a top 3 option for 2 separate roles its that good... and then theres trevenant. Possibly the 5th best defender only, which is insane to consider, because the one defender i didnt mention is the "you cant kill this thing and it can shut down any enemy pokemon reliably" slowbro... yeah, defenders are just way too good right now, why would you use lapras when theres 5 broken alternatives at minimum

[@spragels]

Good point!

[@particlemane3359]

I think Mamoswine's Icicle Crash-Earthquake build is criminally underrated. They pair together so well.

[@Anime_editz_2737]

Mamoswine itself is Darn underrated

[@Druid-T]

​@@Anime_editz_2737 I wouldn't go that far. It definitely has some untapped potential, but the fact that it was one of the earliest Defenders (meaning no inate HP recovery) *and* has a weakness to most of the supporters in the game, means it simply can't ever be one of the best Defenders

[@ChesterRGC]

completely agree, this moveset has been having insane winrates every week for 5months (with low pickrate, but it's consistent every week)

[@particlemane3359]

[@irvan8099]

4:27 Agreed, but also x speed helps you maneuver around with overheat and your unite move

[@Erik-wu5yb]

agree! I use x speed over eject button

[@nickrobinson9629]

Not only the builds, but your discussion on why the builds work with tips and tricks is so good.

[@spragels]

Glad you liked it!

[@pallygoat7150]

Goodra does best with HP items, Dragon Pulse heal is based on your Hp & your unite move heals based on max hp plus being unkillable make your enemies waist attacks on you. I recommend Resonant Guard, Buddy Barrier & (Assault Vest or Slick Spoon) I prefer Assault Vest because it combos with goodras passive. If you're in solo, I think Acid Spray is way better. You can use it aggressively or to run away. Full Heal feels way more impactful, especially if you have Dragon Pulse.

Video TItle: "Unite Builds you Aren't Playing" The Builds: *exactly what I've been doing since day 1*

[@ani-9580]

Pampers pant ad in this video !!! 😂 So funny jake ! 😂

[@Weebdotexe]

high win rate low pick rate is very bad, the reinhardt effect is when the win rate is high, is because the only people picking them is because they are specialists/is their main, the high win rate then tells the devs to lower the win rate, forcing people to change mains, or play against the grain

[@spragels]

Yeah I’m making a vid about win rates and this is a big talking point for sure

[@juicypaperclip1475]

I loooove Cramorant! Another build that catches people off guard is a scope lens cram, with a little bit of the green and white emblem crit rate boost and a slick spoon, bouncing boosted critical hits between enemies can catch everyone way off guard and if you’re lucky you’re adding monstrous damage to the kit. Often times a unite can chip down and a critical boosted bouncing between a couple of enemies afterwards just feels so delicious and mean. For the longest time they disabled boosted attacks being able to crit but they quietly buffed it to be able to crit and nobody seemed to notice or run it.

[@PokeBlaze2004]

Good job jake saw that ABSOLutely hilarious joke from a goal away 😂

[@Gurkan790]

In my opinion Pain Split Trevenant is so underrated. Sure it's not an aoe stun like Horn Leech but good lord once you see that the enemy team has a crazy basic attack pokemon like Dragapult which is very popular right now, it's literally shredding itself to death. Pain Split is much better than the playerbase give it credit for

[@RyansChannel0203]

This ☝️

[@Krimson241]

ngl, i love night slash + sucker punch on absol, i haven't really given pursuit + psycho cut a serious try, so ty for bringing it up.

[@Mr_BB_Man]

i think the 3rd item on Absol is charging charm. Pursuit is a dash and a boosted attack so the synergy is really good. scope razor charm is the way to go IMO

[@spragels]

Charm is a great call

[@RyansChannel0203]

Yeah, Charm is literally a game changer for Pursuit.

[@tobinpayne3276]

Appreciate giving garchomp credit. I never got much use out of scope lens and always felt a little too squishy. So I started running muscle, rapid fire and resonant guard and have been playing a lot better. The extra hp and recovery allows you way more sustain, which I find more useful than crits.

[@mr.ethechromeleonpaladin8898]

You gotta keep in mind that lapras didn't just get a nerfed once, it kept getting considerable nerfs patch after patch making each set weaker than some other defenders

[@Nanobit84]

Now this is a video I dig. So many underrated builds not many play. Especially OG strong mon like Gar or Ttar

[@pranavarunkumar3448]

I think double reset meowscarada also belongs on this list. KOing ur opponents w/ flower trick gives u both of ur moves back instantly and has great synergy. And the mobility and shield u get from trailblaze help secure some huge fights

[@Laggathorr]

As a Goodra guy that plays muddy water religiously, I like Muscle Band and Rapid Fire Scarf so I can get the resets on Muddy water as much as possible. Consistently hit 100k+ damage per game with that build

[@jennyperpa5302]

Metal Claw/Play Rough Zacian is actually really fun. Being able to stun enemies and negate projectiles is really useful utility for the team.

[@VM-gy8bm]

Honestly, I tried a cramorant build that had mixed results. Rapid scarf, muscle band, spoon. Dive/air slash. Relies on basic attacks for damage, using dive as a eject button basically. It's fun to play, just not competitively.

[@frosticle6409]

Personal suggestion: Flash Slam Snorlax. Either you can eject button combo your heavy slam/unite, then use block to herd enemies into your allies' moves, or you can eject slam into yawn, giving your team a basically free kill. My yawn lax personally survives things he has no right to live through. He may not kill, but he sure is good at surviving.

[@xinlou6707]

I have been having a great success with nightslash psycho cut absol in central and i like to run drain crown as 3rd item because you are always full hp in between ganks which allows you to focus on having the level advantage which in my opinion is key to snowballing as absol you put the enemy so far behind in levels by constantly rotating and with x speed you are suddenly everywhere also you have to check out my crazy build for water urshifu which is black emblems with energy amp, resonant guard and drain crown it lowkey makes up for the nerfs by making you much more tanky

[@diegoperezsommariva2509]

4:40 If you replace beedril emblem with the meowscarada one youll get even more speed. I also love using that speedy build with attacker and some supporters too.

[@spragels]

good call!

[@BookishDragon32]

As spmeome who loves playing Goodra i can confirm ive been ended by Gengars dealing 28k dmg to me in team fights. Since then ive been terrified of the purple monster

[@Tal0n26]

I love A9. I do think you can run aurora veil dazzling gleam without rapid fire and a focus band or resonant guard instead. The stats at the end don’t look the most impressive but you are surprisingly tanky in aurora veil especially with extra healing from focus band or shield from resonant guard.

[@sap5675]

Man we need more defenders, komala perhaps?

[@stonks3507]

Id like to see Cloyster or Clamperl

[@michaellombardi24]

I like using energy amp and slow smoke on cram for the unite. Using smoke prevents the enemy team from diving on you

[@I6HA9]

Lol, I knew it, Garchomp is indeed underrated, I literally carried majority of the matches in ranked with garchomp

[@Pietzeps]

Appreciate the awesome contest, you are my favorite unite tuber out there

[@spragels]

I appreciate that!

[@JareBear1]

For Garchomp, I tend to use Attack Weight, Rapid Scarf, and Resonate Guard with either X Attack to shred through the objectives and opponents early on, or X Speed to get in, get some stacks, and get out. It tends to hold out well for me, but I can see why you would go for that build. Also, why doesn't the other moves combo with each other? Dig and Earthquake seem like a combo in heaven, but that doesn't happen Edit: Just realized I took off Rapid Scarf for the Charging Charm, I think... I might have to double-check that

[@yele2028]

[@accused3230]

No charging charm on absol ?

[@serpentine8229]

As a Garchomp Main, i feel like the reason why Garchomp has a low pick rate is unlike a similar Pokémon (Tyranitar) he doesn’t have tons of moves which resists any sort of stuns If I would buff Garchomp, I would give the GroundChomp more viability by giving hindrance immunity for the base and unstoppable for the upgraded version These buffs would give GroundChomp a good alternative against a very stun heavy team

Maybe Dragonite's hyper beam isn't getting used I used it this week I think. And the move got me back to the veteran rank I lost or maybe it made me win the panic parade I don't remember that much.

Played a lot of the swap psycic last night, and it was really effective, my bad for saying it was not meta, it is verrry meta lol

[@mr._jgp]

Lapras is ok, but after the nerfs it cannot compete with blastoise , trevenant, crustle or even mamoswine

[@PANDA8AKUMA]

Like greninja I Been bangle muscle float stone ona. Movement build for back out on and off and it's helping alot because greninja really good for backing out and being aggressive when it needs with that alot of movement

[@lsnorlax9653]

No icy wind glaceon is mentioned on this list. Which means it’s even more underrated than i thought lol

[@diegoperezsommariva2509]

If garchomp dig worked as talonflamr fly does but going underground it would be soo awesome.

[@Facebug3000]

Remember when they buffed the increased defenses of Garchomps dig and then immediately nerfed it, as if it was a sudden problem?

[@godiegogo8190]

Gengars hex kinda needs a buff in my opinion... all the other speedster definitely as of recently surpass him, and when the nerf glasses and spoon, it really nerfed him. I wish they do slightly buff him again, because he needs it badly

[@Sinan-o8r]

Now I know why my goodra wasn't dying at super low hp focus band

So the curse incense and bangle if your me these items are a really positive aid I'm the fights I almost mandatory it over muscle band but it's muscle band cause I fought very heavy heal reliant teams in this game very often so its really good to stun the healing to Consistenly honestly. But that left you with one item at the end of the day
