Charizard is STILL a BEAST after 27 years

[@VeckSMWC]

Even though Zard is the headliner, that Bell strat with the chlorophyll and fire tera is pretty dope, too.

[@SuperDanMan11100]

It makes sense why it does, but I do find it funny that it puts the candelabra Tera crystal on its flycatcher leaf.

[@nicholasalexander9866]

Really like the intro to the main mon you’re using. It’s a cool feeling to give context on how you will use said mon

[@blueplasma]

Seconded!

[@jittel]

yeah the slowbro one was great, shout out fastbro

[@J1njo7]

as somebody who only watches and doesn’t play, it helps a lot when you talk about what items and abilities mons have and what they do esp since i don’t recognize all the icons for items

[@blinktwiceplz6296]

​@@jittelPaul been doing them sprints yo

[@andsig1011]

2 months later this comment aged well

[@SnuubScadoob]

I’m really digging the mon breakdowns in the beginning, really gives me some ideas as to how to use curtain mons and what their general strategies are

[@Angelkitty2]

can’t believe we’ve been getting amazing videos every day, I love these so much!

[@captainstoked1258]

Most fun Haydunn content since the gen 4 & 5 days imo. Seems like you’re having fun challenging yourself to make every mon work. Also really like the focus on the strategy of the team & mons in the intros. Keep up the great work!

[@Clarksonnn]

I’ll always have a soft spot for Zard. Not to mention that shiny is top tier 🔥

[@tristiancook5821]

Can you imagine getting ready to go to one of these matches IRL. Those people need sunglasses, sunblock, rain boots and an umbrella

[@noobsplaybest6883]

Black glasses, occa berry, heavy duty boots, utility umbrella.

[@CyberseGreninja]

Always great to see Charizard battle. I also have a Tropius named Bananasaur.

[@TheRevmack]

Awesome game!!! Victreebel is my favorite Pokémon. I commented asking you to use it back when you asked for suggestions for mons to use in BDSP battles. I don’t know if you saw my comment but I’m so happy to finally see it shine on my favorite channel!!

[@nicholasalexander9866]

Charizard is still my favorite mon! Even with all the new great mons that have come over the years, Charizard is still the one I like more than all of them. I should try to find my other favorite mons along side it, to see if it’ll make a good team competitively or just what I’d want as a trainer ( if I was apart of the anime or something)

[@LINKRETROGAMING]

Charizard the OG Starter for sure! I keep using it since I chose Charmander in 1999! Now using a lot in Pokemon Stadium tournaments that we organize in my channel and testing it in his new OU home in Gen 3! Don't forget this thing won the 1999 Nintendo Cup!

[@Speckmantelmade]

Oh man, commentary wise you knocked it out of the park with this one. This was so much fun to listen to!

[@nintenzard3192]

fun fact: Charizard is the only fire type with Solar Power, and sun + fire moves = your funeral r.i.p Mega Houndoom.

[@joshuavanderrheede4469]

Liking the new intros. Keep the battles coming bro 💪🏽

[@cameronquotebaileymusic]

In Sword/Shield, someone hit me with a Solar Power + In Sunlight + Life Orb + STAB G-Max Wildfire...Basically saying, "I don't ever wanna see your face around these parts again."

[@IrvingMedran]

Very entertaining video Haydunn!! Great commentary as always :)

[@chriscunningham6401]

Caught a shiny Weepinbell the other day, but couldn't think of a name. Leaning towards Vine Diesel after seeing yours.

[@blunt_samura1]

Forecast is looking like a 100% chance for a Haydunn video .

[@Gamerrelm1.0_relm]

Always😎

[@NickyLaurienzo]

The G/S/C style sprites are FIRE, and loving the intros!🔥

[@hasansiddiqui1775]

You've been killing it lately! Would love to see you put in some work with Houndoom

[@tylervolkers3574]

Great battle! This video was a great start to my week! I’d love to see a future battle using Wailord, one of my favorite Pokémon.

[@tylervolkers3574]

If only they put my boy in this game!

[@josephgaul7763]

Two Gen Ones, One Gen Two and Three Gen Threes! Ya love to see it! My boy Bell gettin' it done early so Zard can clean up late! Love all the daily uploads Haydunn!!

[@CoolEtCetera]

Loved the Gen 1 Sweeper Action !

[@DefinitelyNotAFerret]

Charizard definitely one of the favorite children

[@insaneadem5014]

I like my swords dance and belly drum sets on charizard. This was an awesome video.

[@GachaCartoonVideos]

May be Game freak should buff Charizard -Tail Glow - Energy Ball - Earth Power - Agility New Ability - Speed Boost These Buffs Should make Charizard a Good Special Attacker

[@Zentai_Kun]

Nah that will be too op Also doesnt rly make sense to give charizard speed boost,earth power and energy ball could happen tbh;draco meteor works also

[@GachaCartoonVideos]

@Zentai_Kun yeah but only Dragon types can use that move the only reason you said that because Charizard Mega X is pure Dragon same goes to Mega Ampharos and Sceptile. It could make sense because charizard can fly fast and travels though lands since It's a Flying Type

[@10542256]

Charizard just became clean up, another showcase

[@andrewmehta6886]

Glad to see an opponent that actually let you finish out the sweep. Lot of people will disconnect which is lame

[@stephenrussell762]

I run a similar victreebel set but with growth instead of sleep powder for the +2 sp.att in the sun, catches so much unaware

[@rafa_rumba]

LMAOOO "you're not Blastoise" o__0 More Charizard pleassseeeeee

[@freydawg56]

In Gen 1 i liked Toxic Firespin cheese on my Charizard. I was not competitive.

[@BlufireTheifprince]

I like reliving the glory days of generation 6 so I build Charizard as a physical attacker with Dragon dance, dragon claw, flare blitz, and Thunder punch

[@BlufireTheifprince]

Tera dragon of course

[@Adskie]

Moment to appreciate your new thumbnail art style 🙌🏼

[@Haydunn]

Thanks so much!!

[@SpongeBobSquarePants847]

I gave my Charizard wise glasses so his special attack will be stronger

[@Dinobot-k2x]

Zard is always iconic

[@dannyvinal1307]

“We’re out here eatin” - 😂

[@TrampledBySquirtles]

That was a very good battle and the team you put together is awesome. RIP Tropius

[@chaijiahao221]

seeing different returning names every few videos is literally the best payoff for watching for this many years

[@robertpresley1503]

Lol I thought u had a mega Zard for a second with that coloring and I was like "when did they bring that back?"

[@ryanveith2594]

Murkrow is my favorite sun setter in doubles. Scarf zard plus prankster sun smacks

[@RonSmash]

Just in time to eat my dinner - thank you! Gwon the Zard 🙌🏻

[@anthonyrebuffo9509]

Try stored power acid armor calm mind vaporeon

[@brianh794]

Charizard is such an OG. I refuse to hop on the hate train just because the fad is to hate on the Zard

[@turboshazed7370]

Charizard has far, far, far more fans

[@jacobjensen7704]

I’m surprised you went for UU instead of RU. Nine tails is in RU so you can do Sun in an even lower tier to give Zard the chance to shine even more.

[@EinSilverRose]

I'd like to see you try out Scovillian. Probably needs more set up but it's a funny spicy lad.

[@Rathadude]

Zard honestly needs a buff that's not a gimmick like dynamax or mega evolution. He's a special attacked but gets like 3 set up moves for physical attacks like why?

[@JordieBear_]

What’s crazy is the fact that every time I think of a mon Hayden should use. He uses it. Get out of my head. Love the content!

[@theinterruptedlife1783]

Its always great to see some zard action!

[@protonjones54]

Day 7 of asking hayden to upload more vgc matches like he did last december

[@thomasstewart5376]

i like this set but choice specs solar power Tera fire sun boost overheat goes absolutely crazy can basically kill like every mon and can surprise people because after the -2 people underestimate the strength and sometimes can pick up a unexpected ko

[@SWANK-SAN]

This set sounds explosively fun

[@LordStevenStone]

Rain dish blastoise tho 👀 I wonder how well that setup will work

[@tuck3771]

CHARIZARD RAAAAH‼️🔥🔥🔥

[@nezzus6102]

300k right there i see it on the horizon

[@Kos4Evr]

Missed a chance to say, this old boy wants to say you don't have the right stuff.

[@floresarmando4318]

Awesome battle as always! You should try to use the real op solar power user: sunflora, next time :p

[@DarkShaman667]

Damn, even the bots in the comments praise your content! Good job, Haydunn!

[@naomiseadragon2676]

I think this is proof that Charizard is still a freaking beast in competitive singles!

[@imranazmi5686]

Love to see Feraligatr next

[@zeroxthexhero100]

I like to run belly drum, flame charge, dragon claw and eq with dragon tera.

[@alexterieur8813]

Amazing video from an amazing content creator!

[@dangeletti84]

I dont do a lot of competitive battles, I thought you werent allowed to have two pokemon with the same item

[@drcarlosgenetica]

That’s was one of the best!

[@leshi3489]

Can you post the team exports / stats in pastebins ?

[@adrukker]

Victreebel going to town

[@JTimmer99]

I’m hoping my fiancé makes it into one of your vids man, came across you yesterday on the portal! Huge fan keep up the amazing content

[@lilblue007]

First time watching these vids.. i feel like im watching live tv, but super behind the audio, constantly giving away everything before it happens.

[@1NTEN7ION]

The best Pokémon KZbinr ❤️

[@kjbcantyousee]

"aside from Gen 8 Dynamax..." you forgot about the megas??

[@TntMooze]

Would love to see more Sableeye

[@slayer3805]

I think you forgot mega zard I swear most random battles back in the day had a x or y zard on team

[@monkheroidoe]

Zard is the goat, clutches a lot of pogo gbl matches for me

[@oscarjasso94]

Tera type?

[@Roguerebel297]

It just sucks you have to dedicate the heavy duty boots to counter stealth rocks.. wish it wasn’t 50% of health on switch in

[@Chogolated]

now imagine using life orb with this

[@goofballgamer01]

Man I hate it when my fire turtle gets smashed by a dog

[@mannyzoom10]

My thing is if they’re not bringing megas back at least give them there mega abilities. Cause I like using physical Zard. Tough claws would help a lot and the fact Zard lost dual wing beat in gen 9 is disappointing

[@ThePathoftheJoker]

Wait, so If I picked up what you threw down was; I put grass tera on my solar power Zard in place of solarbeam. That it ingenious. Don't need the sun to hit a PHAT grass move a water/ground type wouldnt expect especially if they already blew their tera.

[@xs_fear]

thankyou for the content

[@nezzus6102]

W mf video when i see the dragon

[@nightmissionsonly9494]

hey, are you going to do another let's play with a challenging mod?

[@MrHoffie1]

Wooo! Victreebel!!!

[@danielbraden8750]

Excellent.

[@anthonypacillas4830]

Zard's in charge!!

[@leshi3489]

@Haydunn Can you post the team exports / stats in pastebins ?

[@obinna9118]

Charizard the goat

[@chrisgecko1917]

More Charizard vids plz :)

[@lordmonarch2995]

It’s never been historically top tier? Wasn’t it OU in gens1,&2, 6-8 and UU in gen 3-5? It’s still good today!

[@Teyeranitar]

Charizard was retroactively placed in UU in Gen 1 (UU didn’t exist for Gen 1 until recently, but Charizard was effectively never played when Gen 1 was current. Moltres wasn’t Ubers and was simply better), OU in gen 2, UU in Gen 3, *NU* in 4 and 5, and then alternate forms like Mega and Dmax affected its placements from there. Non-Gmax Charizard was UU in 8. So no, with the exception of Gen 2 with Belly Drum, BASE FORM Charizard has almost never been OU.

[@nolongeraperson]

And even for the Gen 2 Belly Drum set, it itself was very rarely seen because it would get absolutely wrecked by almost all the pokemon that outsped it in the meta.

[@Teyeranitar]

@@nolongeraperson It’s key use in GSC was being able to one shot the omni-present Snorlax after a Belly Drum. Lax couldn’t kill Zard in one hit from 50%, so it was one of only a few non-Uber Pokemon in the entire game that could cleanly beat Snorlax in an even 1v1.

[@johnskullshade9837]

I would love to see some love for my fire cats and dogs Pyroar and Houndoom. I always named my female Pyroar Kirara because of Inuyasha. My Houndooms are usually named Cerberus because of obvious reasons.

[@MarcAntoineHamelin]

i mean of course he is. if Pikachu's the mascot, Charizard is the poster boy. Gamefreak is going to keep him relevant for as long as possible.

[@Lazymiranda]

Can you try a baton pass team?

[@tidallocs993]

1:55 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ILLTAKEAPIKACHU]

My shiny Charizard is called Charcoal too 🖤

[@vivstan160907]

What tera type did you make tour Charizard?

[@hex_49]

Couldn’t you give Charizard leftovers?

[@ReverendLamb]

One accelrock later: 💀

[@bluuangel004]

Wait what? Aside from Dynamax?? Bruh you forgot Zard was super popular during the Mega days. Good battle as always though.

[@Haydunn]

Tbh I had “megas and dynamax” in my script and it got messed up at some point

[@turboshazed7370]

G max Zard was busted

[@Lagi42800]

How can mienshao have the once shaken ribbon ?;

[@mistersmegma]

Hey Haydunn do you breed/bottle cap/EV train all the Pokémon and their sets? I lost all my data trying to transfer and now I’m too lazy to create them all over again 😢

[@luminousxii]

I'm pretty sure he gens all his mons

[@MasonS9980]

goat

[@dracku5454]

How do you distribute EVs on Charizard?
