Appletun Strategy So Sweet NOBODY Got Salty?

I met the most wholesome players on Pokemon Showdown when I just really wanted to practice with my team and build around the unique interaction appletun has with their signature Ripen ability + Rowap berry.

[@onlyespeon643]

idk if this is on purpose but the first team spells "Fap Ash" and that's just funny to me

I'm here to revive the showdown salt genre with quality daily scripted content on the channel, just kidding april fools, these battles are actually authentic even if its quite temp6ing to script daily salt sometimes to stay relevant!

I’d like to echo the sentiments of the opponent in the first match. Appreciate the videos weedle and watched a bunch during pandemic.

[@operation99]

Hear hear!

[@wrvolkmann]

Same here.

[@CarefreeAV]

Same. Been rewatching weedle content for the voice and memes

[@markT4561]

Period

[@tekayo63]

ive only recently got into competitive pokemon but must agree, their videos are really entertaining :)

[@swoobatfan6606]

I can't see a Pokémon eat a Berry without hearing Wendy Williams saying: "Watch me eat, watch me eat." Thanks Weedle❤️

[@Gusarapo45]

Delicioso!

[@LOLquendoTV]

None of these soulless imitators will compare to you Weedle, you re still the best

[@wizmo2216]

To the person who named the Lanturn “fat fish friday,” you made me laugh way more than I should have. Awesome

[@agentblackbird9435]

I died when I saw the Rotom named “mr electric”

[@Gardivanyth]

I actually named an alpha Rotom in Legends 'Mr Electric' so it was funny seeing someone else with the same nickname

[@johnmartinez7440]

How much should you have laughed?

[@pandatwink5256]

love you

[@flaireyuwu]

I love how in pu you can literally ask your opponent to give you your item back and they'll say "ok"

[@gearguts7259]

PU players are built different

[@FoxMan_FF]

I love that the last one was like "that's bs but also cool". It's like he's saying what we're all thinking! Realtalk though I completely forgot the Rowap berry even existed.

[@michaelspinks7269]

This was a wholesome batch of matches. Again, Weedle using tech we either forgot existed or barely use to outsmart people. Super cool.

[@marianosimoniglesias]

Unpopular opinion: I prefer the wholesome content rather than the salty one.

[@justsightseeing1]

Popular opinion, i prefer whatever weedle provide.. showdown salt/wholesome showdown/ wifi battle... All is god tier content

[@RavenDarknyte]

yeah no as much as i like seeing what silly strats people are trying, the salt just doesnt do anything for me. "ur hacking im reporting you" makes for easy clickbait material but when showdown tells you everything that is happening and you can !info moves/items/abilities/etc, all i can see is someone grabbing clickbait from a person who clearly just doesnt even know what theyre doing.

[@frasina3401]

This right here

[@vdun]

@@RavenDarknyte It’s usually scripted anyways. I’ve watched temp6 for example, and the opponents all have same style of typing in an almost child friendly manner. In reality, salty players just spam swear words and racial slurs

[@pixellordm8780]

First match was absolutely heartwarming!

[@Blackvoid2me]

A rarity in showdown too

[@cloudydays6374]

Pandatwink saying “I’m gay” in response to forgetting about magic bounce is now one of my top 10 moments on this channel

[@celloj3703]

I keep forgetting rock doesn’t resist itself like almost every other type in the game

[@chucrutedip6034]

Not to be that person, but only half of the 18 types resist themselves (Fire, Water, Grass, Steel, Psy, Dark, Poison, Electric, Ice)

[@desertdoggoalt]

Back in gen one the types were split between special and physical. Basically all of the special types resisted themselves and the physical types do neutral damage to themselves. Except poison had to be weird. But thats how I remember it if that helps.

[@Gamesmarts194]

Honestly it makes no sense to me but Pokemon type logic I guess

[@volbla]

Have you ever tried banging two rocks together? Shit breaks.

[@JVGreen150]

I think a big reason we think rock resists itself is because of Gen 1 rock types being almost(iirc) exclusively dual type ground

[@ohohothisrocks]

the last rowap ripen strat was truly a 'you activated my trap card' moment

[@volbla]

AND SINCE YOU LOSE THREE CARDS

[@Takapon218]

In my rewatching weedle era and MAN that hattrem did so much work

[@BlainesMagmar]

You honestly have some of the best pokemon videos on the platform. It's always something refreshing and really cool that makes me appreciate the game more. So thanks for your uploads and keep it up!

[@justcallmeSheriff]

I lost it when they Tricked you back the berry! You really do have the nicest fandom among KZbinrs.

[@WeedleTwineedle]

True but they didn't know it was me until after I forfeited lol

[@Axxzalor]

I'm sick of staged showdown replays, you came to save me Weedle, I love your content I love you

[@Egalitariat-likesecretariat]

"that's bs but cool tech" is exactly how I feel when I lose to anyone in any game. except in halo, I just suck at halo

[@melikmourali2072]

3:35 > asks for the opponent to Trick your item back > proceeds to toxic stall the shit out of them 😂

[@matthijscalje4143]

I love how your second op was literally like "Yeah sure you can have the berry back"

[@do-nothingbear9474]

Bro, everyone talking about the first match, but the second guy being like “oh, you want me to undo my move? Bet”

[@pandatwink5256]

this match was after a game that i think made me pretty salty, my lunch break was running out, so i was kinda just like "fuck it, i dont really care about this game" and it ended up being my best showdown experience period lmao

[@riyaseshadri4824]

The "tAKe ThAT bAcK LEoRiO" edit was the icing on top of that play 🤣🤣👌👌

[@benjaminsurrette3034]

[@cobblestone3089]

It's nice to see a chunk of the showdown community that aren't a bunch of pasty twats throwing around transphobia and the n-word like it's going out of style Might just have to make myself a fresh team and get back into it, cheers for the good video weedle!

[@theoverseer393]

Hey! I might be phobic, but that don’t mean I don’t love WeedTweed 😎👍👉👉💯 All in all, we gotta love more than hate, and always be willing to understand. Even if we disagree after undertaking

[@LukasRamsey]

Well, the n word transphobia are going out of style, and good riddance

[@dramamine755]

It's funny how i have spent countless hours on showdown and have never seen transphobic comments or use of the n word. You made that up, please go back to reddit.

[@iluvpizzaouotuy6255]

@@dramamine755 I mean, just because you haven’t seen it first hand doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened. There are definitely cases where people have made death threats, used slurs and said transphobic/homophobic comments purely because they didn’t want to accept their loss

I'm so happy when you play songs I recongize, especially from recent releases. Man SMT V has some downright sick battle themes. Also I LOVE Sawk in the lower tiers: he's legit one of my favorite pokemon. He's so good with both Choice Band and Choice Scarf because of his moveset and the free focus sash in Sturdy. People seriously underestimate Sawk.
