Been à long time since I didn't use Lokix, you're making me want to use him again Also for the QOTD : I have mixed feelings, I would hate that another mon got banned, but at the same time.. Dealing 25% to 2 of its weaknesses and 12% to the others for something like 10 turns is absurd. He can wall both Ghold's stabs if tera water, has access to recover... Yeaaah no, Garg is too much

[@BlackArche0ps]

Exactly. Literally look at the other comment I made replying to someone. I explained it there. And you should. Lokix is a demon

[@DrCoeloCephalo]

Losing Knock Off is incredibly dumb but it IS kinda refreshing to actually see Beat Up being worth considering. Being able to break past Sash leads is helpful.

[@BlackArche0ps]

It’s definitely not worth considering unfortunately. Too much trade off for too little payoff. I had to use a bunch of banded Pokémon for that. Let’s just cross our fingers and hope it gets knock when home comes out. I do like that beat up doesn’t trigger Rocky helmet tho

[@pulkatz9844]

The only issue with dealing good damage with beat up is that you need a full team of strong physical attackers because beat up draws from your team members’ attack stats

[@BlackArche0ps]

Exactly. Cross your fingers that it gets knock back with home

[@harryw3310]

Ayyy first one to the punch, great to see the Weav love already. Not an Archeops vid without the god Lokix

[@BlackArche0ps]

Yep! Ol’ reliable Lokix. I appreciate the support and am glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@BlackArche0ps]

I swear I wish Weavile just kept knock off. It would still be great

I guess you could say Garganacl is making people...salty.

[@iantaakalla8180]

I like how we all collectively said “Tera is not too much” and now the metas are laxatives in how they release a new Pokémon every time the team running the meta talks.

[@Boocat2950]

As someone who used garganacl even when it was first released its very boring to play with it it feels just like stall

[@jaidenverduyckt8391]

That’s why weavile s the goat THE GOAAAAAT

[@BlackArche0ps]

THE GOAAAAAAAAAT

[@UbermanPrime]

With how common Shed Tail I feel like setting up a special attacker while Garg is in makes for a great counter and chance to sweep. Garg is annoying but its SpDef is garbage for a reason

[@Gspoink]

I wouldn't consider 100/90 bulk(from what I remember) that bad. If it run spdef(which it can very effectively) and caught you off guard with Tera you're also pretty doomed

[@BlackArche0ps]

That thing has 404/306 hp and spdef with investment. It’s spdef is not garbage in any way

[@BlackArche0ps]

It has 100, 140, 90 defenses and a move that kills you in 4 turns while garg can just recover. It’s an insane mon. Whether or not it deserves to be banned is up for debate but it’s more than annoying

[@Deesn]

Garg isn't really broken but I would 100% ban him anyway. Least fun mon to play against

[@imalwaysjusticew4679]

See that's a goofy ahh ban Cyclizar,Annihilape, Chi-Yu I get it But Chien-Pao bruh? 💀

[@r.kmishra7616]

Bro I was just talking to myself about how chief pao should be banned cuz it's so ridiculous and lo and behold this pops up in my notification QOTD: absolutely fighting and ground are mainly physical types plus easy to counter with Corviknight into good special grass types are rare and RIP to any water or steel types which stayed in on a garganacal. So yeah no reliable counter so smite that salty pillar to the Uber realm

[@BlackArche0ps]

😂😂😂 yeah it needed to go. I’m happy that it should do amazing in Ubers. It’s stabs bully the tier and can hit everything for supereffective with sacred sword except Flutter Mane, but that thing drops to any strong physical attack. Imagine it got banned from Ubers (that wouldn’t happen). I’m considering making a video on scarf chien now tho

[@BlackArche0ps]

I hate Garg with a passion. No other words

[@theprojectionist3302]

I feel like Silver/gen 2 rival would certainly be an interesting challenge (would probably be able to use magnezone and weavile instead of their unevolved forms because they didn’t exist in gen 2)

[@crppledizzle9374]

I don't think garg is ban worthy. Hell, half of the pokes the ou council have banned really didn't deserve it. Losing garg would be the nail in the coffin for me, it would kinda prove that they are basing the definition of OU off of previous gens, not Paldea.

[@BlackArche0ps]

I personally want garg gone. I didn’t mind chien or Espathra. I just hate Garg. It’s so difficult to beat but at the same time because of the sheer power of the mons this gen idk if we would be better off without it. It feels like we need it, but don’t get me wrong. I hate it all the same

[@crppledizzle9374]

@@BlackArche0ps I feel that. I think the main issue is that tera makes it really difficult to play against, especially with its ability automatically giving it resistance to ghost

[@BlackArche0ps]

@@crppledizzle9374 exactly and then there’s the tera water sets. Tera fairy is the most common so gholdengo consistently beats it but if it’s tera water and you’re not prepared it can just destroy your team. And the salt cure.
