It's finally ARTICUNO's time to shine • Pokemon Scarlet/Violet VGC Battles

[@civilwarwasaninsidejob7405]

Crazy I've never played a single game of competitive pokemon in my life, yet I've been watching this man's videos for several years. Top notch, quality content.

[@vanderson83]

Same here 😂 I've tried a couple games in SwSh with a team I really liked in one of his videos, but other than that I never played competitive and I don't miss a single video. It's so much fun to watch him playing and commenting!

[@thcsmashbrosthehaguecrew4220]

Me too. There are just no nationals/internats in Holland.

[@rahilinjapan]

Aaron MATE you are PUMPING these videos out!!! Absolute gem to this community. I wish I could meet you, you just seem like such a nice dude to talk to 😂

[@wolfey316]

Articuno is my fav legendary after all these years so I'm pumped to see this

[@deanwoods52]

It’s just so awesome!

[@SugarBuzzin]

Please do Zapdos next!

[@billys3463]

Same! Fire Red was my first Pokémon game and Articuno was always a mainstay on my team.

[@tiongchiongjunn2011]

Best pokemon for elite four

[@Draezeth]

I'm just happy to see my favorite type, Ice, get some representation!

[@gydeoneal7707]

I absolutely love how you, one of the best in the world, can see a team composition and be like, “WOW, this is really cool, I’m excited!” It’s so refreshing to see one of the best still humble and excited to fight teams, even when you have a bad match-up!!! Thanks Aaron!!! You’re the best!!!

[@Alfenheimer]

It's so cool to see Ice types enjoying the hail/snow mechanic change. Would be neat to see a team that could switch between Sand and snow, with some ice mons with a Rock Tera to switch which side they have more defense in. Impractical and gimmicky but sounds fun.

[@iantaakalla8180]

If Aurorus existed in Paldea, it could take advantage of that inherently. Unfortunately, only Hisuian Avalugg exists and it would prefer to be in sandstorm to live one weak or resisted special attack.

[@ndhrhednnrrn2934]

THATSAplusONE made a team with sand and snow on his channel. It is a cool team.

[@NithilanVincent]

The teams you've been using recently are so interesting and I can tell just how much fun you're having, loving the content right now

[@DefianceGJ]

i’ve been LOVING watching you play this regulation. it’s the best when there is just an unbelievable amount of viable teams and now with all the new pokémon it’s endless. this is gonna be a fun couple of months!

[@jklnmjnino]

Can we just appreciate how he is 74 in THE WORLD

[@MSPilotCrexote]

While casually playing around with others player teams. Meanwhile I’m tying to craft an original awesome team. 3120 T.T

[@1AngryPerson]

​@@MSPilotCrexotekeep grinding! It'll happen for you!

[@chaserofkahr6550]

74 in the world #1 in our hearts

[@CapitalGames84]

He is a professional player

[@smokeybandit3787]

​@@CapitalGames84still though, piloting different teams to get top 100 is impressive!

[@sandfanboy999]

Now I’m gonna have to see bright powder articuno all over ladder 😭

[@thefatc0w]

Cybertron drinking game - take a shot every time you hear: - “I’m down to…” - “There’s a world where…” - “The debate is whether…” I joke of course 😂 thanks for all the consistently amazing content! Regulation D especially has been so fun to watch with all of the new Pokémon & team combinations

[@elesegerardo]

Seeing you rapid firing these videos left and right gets me super pumped for the format because it means you’re enjoying it. I’ve been lazy to do the whole move to Home and to SV, but I wanna play all of these awesome strategies.

[@evetslon]

Honestly you outplayed your opponents in these games so hard I would have loved to see one where you had to fight from a disadvantageous position, those are generally my favorites! Either way, sick video and sick team, I love Articuno and snow is dope

[@luisfelipecalle]

I don't it to go unnoticed how you have an amazing talent piloting brand new teams. I have tried a couple of the teams featured here and can't seem to find my footing yet, specially in such a new meta. So kudoos to you for not only showing us the ropes but being so good and making it feel easy!

[@doellium2326]

As a snow team user, I love this! Articuno is my favourite of the three legendary birds!!

[@blackrockfire]

I have been absolutely loving all the recent videos and I really appreciate all the effort you put into making them!

[@MrGermanpiano]

Articuno has been one of my favourites since Pokémon Stadium like 20 years ago. Happy to see it becoming somewhat viable for the first time.

[@ktntwireless]

More than anything, I’m glad you’re having fun making content! Favorite legendary trio are definitely Gen 2 Legendary Beasts. Wish they were competitively viable or even in the games these days 😅

[@nvo_beejay]

I always am happy to see you upload and never hesitate to click on your videos whenever I see them. But seeing Articuno in the thumbnail.. I couldn't click any faster.

[@ShinyKryo]

You can tell Aaron has a blast with this new format and creating this vids! I'm very happy for him and love every single minute of those videos!

[@Tsitchom]

Thank you so much for the quantity of content lately, must not be easy juggling this volume with all your other endeavors ! Reg D is way more fun than what I had previously thought.

[@Drake_Ice7]

I'm glad you brought my fav pkm to shine. I also made an Articuno and Abomasnow team but using the tera ground offensively, but I never thought on using Snow Clock + Bright Powder and the pretty impressive high chance of freezing. Great content as usual pal, keep it up!

[@Von_Maverik]

There's so much effort into bringing every day these videos. Thanks man! Keep doing it

[@winterknightvgc]

Yoooo dope! I just did a vid on this team earlier today. Stoked to see the GOAT play it. Love to see Articuno getting some love QOTD: it's either the Legendary Beasts or Lunala/Solg/Necrozma

[@SmallkellerReborn]

Loving the frequency of uploads at the start of the regulation! Super helpful

[@wzywp]

OMG!!! Thank you for introducing my team!!! BTW, this team is hard to use now since it is well-known lol

[@zeenith9546]

Articuno is my favorite pokemon ever and I've used it in snow teams everytime I can. Love to see it getting love. Not to mention I didn't even realize it was going to be in the game yet

[@macaroniii03]

awesome video. love to see a pokemon like Articuno actually being good. btw I love your videos and I learn a lot from them. keep it up!

[@WompWomp187]

I love this. I'm 34 and have never played competitively before. I watch every VGC tournament that's about it. Watched this video and took some notes and now I'm 8-4 so far. I'm addicted! Aaron you're the man!!!

[@ronnoldo]

Nice to see some articuno rep! I got top 4 in a Beanie Brawl tournament with another variation of an articuno snow team a couple days ago.

[@bradybates3048]

You are the video I look for most every day. Thank you for the daily videos.

[@mumbosauce4]

Ahhhhhh it’s articuno making the appearance!! Great vid highlighting it!

[@DKTheTruth]

Loving all these vids man! You made me get into playing competitive! For QOTD, I love the sinnoh trio, my absolute favorite region and my favorite legendaries.

[@Rhapsodos_X]

Snow is such a sleeper pick. With Aurora Veil on a now essentially 100+ base Def Abomasnow (thanks to the weather rework), there are so many games you can win from turn 1

[@lukeoconnor8866]

Yes! So happy to check KZbin each day and see another video 🙂 thanks Aaron!

[@Hazelnutleaf]

I obviously have to smash the like button and share, Articuno is the BEST of the birds and I’m so glad Mr. Cybertron is slaying with it! Thanks, Aaron! 💙🤍

[@rauldiaz7363]

Loved this one, being this high ranked trying out different teams each time is insane, I would love to see another play until I lose video to see if there can be a chance to #1 in road to rank

[@mercury3924]

Yay Articuno! So nice seeing OG Pokémon get some love. I like Tera Water on it with Tera Blast as well but Tera Ground makes a lot of sense.

[@derekfarkas5538]

QOTD: I think Suicune is the best designed, Zapdos for the original three and Galarian Moltress if we are talking just design for legendary trios. Best design of all time is obviously Metapod. The hard lines on its shell, the green hue, the angular shape and most importantly, those eyes. They watch. Metapod doesn’t blink.

[@crazymonkey0518]

At 51:06 you could see abomasnow’s mustache moving cause he is angry, funny animation

[@linkyboyKOC]

Wow I love it! I was thinking of running Prankster Snowscape + Iron Bundle, but this idea is so much cooler :D

[@luanschuindt2837]

50:00 your reaction was so funny, he was so desperate!😆

[@dytabytes]

Omg Articuno. I loved that birb as a kid playing Red for the first time on my Gameboy Pocket, so I'm so excited to see it's viable (even if it takes a specific kind of set up haha)

[@garchompelago]

This is the *coolest* team youve featured in this format! Yes, I will see myself out....

[@KelechiDaGoat]

QOTD: I'm gonna go with the johto legendary trio. I've always loved their design from day 1 especially Raikou and thanks to Walking Wake, it gives me hope the others get a paradox form too.

[@Draezeth]

I gotta agree. I love how visually diverse they are, unlike the Lake trio, or Genies, and while visually distinct, the Regis aren't very visually interesting. Plus, my favorite legendary, Lugia, is the "trio master", and I've always had a soft spot for quadrupled Pokémon over bipeds.

[@rpjoca4644]

this aged well

[@CBoogie101]

Super cool shirt! Awesome video as always 😊

[@bscheur7412]

I have always wanted to see Articuno shine ❤

[@ItsMeSubarashi]

I like the trio of Groudon Kyogre and Rayquaza a lot. The concept surrounding the 3 and design in terms of kits/art are equally great, in my opinion.

[@Raziel_HHL]

QOTD: if we are speaking in terms of graphic, easily the Galarian version of the Kanto birds. Galarian Moltres would have been my favourite Pokemon ever when I was an edgy teenager 100%, Galar Zapdos as kind of an aggressive Emu looks cool as well and Galar Articuno just looks so majestic and honestly kind of condescending even, imo it fits the Ice typing pretty well.

[@Laughingwithtravii]

33:01, im curious if you hazed to get rid of the spDef drop if that would have changed anything.

[@peteyplays-new]

what a series of matches.... putting in work as always Aaron

[@Pd0nZ]

Thrilled Articuno is finally viable. This certainly beats giving it an Assault Vest at a few Ultra Series PCs and just telling it to Sheer Cold things. Quite the enjoyable watch Aaron.

[@TWreckthaMonster]

Hey Aaron! I picked up your basculegion/overqwil team and climbed to Masters from the bottom in 3 days(woulda been done sooner but work). Thanks man!

[@turquoise13]

i think for me, best designed trio might have to be groudon, kyogre, rayquaza! all with distinct silhouettes, unique features, and of course they have their iconic cutscene too :)

[@noe5740]

It's 5:20 am here...and then I go on youtube and Cybertron VGC uploaded a video. I love it.

[@marioman6444]

You are going wild with theses videos this month cybertron! Keep it up but dont get burnt out!😊

[@davidblythe9687]

this was a really cool team. good to see ice type come up!

[@parkour_pain]

you know aaron is excited to share a team when hes smiling before the intro starts

[@nirvanchereh2255]

Terra blast ground on articuno is also intersting to suprise the steels you cant usually hit

[@billwumsen4108]

I just love how 5\6 of this team is also wheather related!❤

[@trxyjxzy1075]

Really cool to see articuno get the spotlight. Thanks for the video 7

[@beefwellington2945]

Damn man, you put on a clinic with articuno. Well done!

[@lilikapoa1411]

My favorite trio is the legendary beasts. I started with Crystal and there is nothing more iconic than chasing raikou with the Pokédex

[@khaledshoukry3711]

FINALLY It’s articuno’s time to shine, wish galarian articuno does too

[@RedTotey]

Hey Aaron, just hit Master Ball tier today and was real surprised when I was in the top 1000 lol. Thanks for the great vgc content as always 👍

[@diegomaytorena2341]

That shirt is dope!! Love it! The videos are awesome thank you Aaron!

[@WeAreToasty]

Gen 3 box art legendaries are my favs. The Red Green and Blue colors really stand out to me and all of them are so memorable for me

[@matthewcleary717]

That extra chance to evade makes a big difference when your opponents want to hit shaky accuracy rock moves against you!

[@sergiolazarocarrionmartinez]

Great shirt, great content. I am glad to have found your channel.

[@scottcrysel]

Last few weeks of Reg C i ran a trick room Glaceon bright powder snow team and it was SO much fun. The rng is real

[@carlanthonydelosangeles7411]

The OG Articuno this time. Niceeee!

[@JohannesBee]

Would love to see you use a Kantonian Moltres team! I've heard it's a great team piece.

[@JLM4772]

Another absolute banger!!! 10/10 thank you for another upload Aaron. Also, where can I grab one of those shirts???

[@ChenzoCenteen]

Good games and nice ranking, cant wait to see what team you end up using for worlds

[@TheHOMGninja]

God I’m loving the amount of content being pumped out by Aaron 😍

[@ernestobolanos991]

Dude, how do you Make these tesms work... You're a real PRO Aaron.❤

[@woopinnn1686]

Loving all these uploads recently! And at this point you’re just fishing for compliments with these cool shirts… 😉

[@BrysonLeigh]

QOTD: My personal favorite legendary trio is easily the Regi golems. I love the design of them so much, and I have fond memories of liking them way more after watching Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. :) Also, their cries in the movie are so good.

[@quantasium]

Freeze condition is definitely OP. I remember in gen 8, i swept this guy’s team down to his Froslass and I still had all four of my Pokémon. He got lucky and froze my heat Rotom and was able to wreck my entire team.

[@secret_bawz.7270]

Im 430 in master ball tier right now, i hope i can play you one day, and see myself getting destroyed lol. Love the vids aaron

[@Steve_A93]

QOTD: the Regi family is super fun, if you insist on an actual trio - I think the Galarian forms of the birds are amazing. Especially Galarian Articuno. Hint hint ^^

[@jack-daniels33]

I love Tyranitar being the only hit by his own sandstorm in the second game lol

[@kenw.1520]

Articuno? Putting in work? You have my attention.

[@rhettllewallyn8435]

So glad to see Articuno!

[@cristianalarcon9071]

Hey! How are you? Thanks for the content as always :D I have a question, how good and common is ice tera regieleki? Feels weird that my opponents are just letting their landos die to tera blast xD

[@teadeity363]

The best designed Legendary Trio to me is the Swords of Justice. All three are flavorful and relatable to the Three Musketeers they are based off of, and all three only share one weakness being Psychic, Justified is nice and also flavorful to their origin, and they all look really cool

[@JacrepidYT]

The legendary beasts are probably my favourite trio in terms of design I love Entei and Suicunes design and although I don't love the design of Raikou it's a pretty cool design too

[@kamigotchi4089]

Aaron! Your shirt is amazing! Perfect for work and to put trainers down on the ladder xD

[@isaac_6530]

Love articuno ! Now let’s see you use Galarian articuno ?

[@dman452]

I love this team and have been running snow but honestly the team looks so weak to AV heatran if it teras which I have seen a ton running snow recently

[@HESOMADBRO]

Not only did Articuno get buffed with Snow Cloak and weather, but with the several PP nerfs the ability Pressure was also buffed. Pressure stall is not a traditional VGC strategy, but I think it's quite underrated given the amount of protect/wide guard and more bulky teams becoming more viable. If only the move rock slide wasn't as prevalent...

[@TwoHanderVGC]

Great video! Never thought Articuno could be this good.

[@bdellovibrioo5242]

It's so funny to see a flying terra Tyranitar take sandstorm damage while ground terra Articuno does not.

[@daytonbenson1203]

Articuno with the tera hat looks like its trying real hard to hold its head straight to avoid throwing its neck out

[@kaio0777]

Great man nice video but this team is nasty tho but you pilot it well

[@rex7471094]

Loving the content for Regulation D! I’m rooting for you in the big tournaments and hope to maybe someday be nearly as good as you! I’m hoping that Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza are permitted in ranked battles soon, as they are, by far, my favorite legendary trio. Can’t wait to see you showcase them when the time comes! You’ve always got a view/like with me 😁

[@JJJ.98]

I always felt Articuno would see its day. Finally glad its here. And it only took 20 odd years.

[@geotle]

QOTD: I gotta go with the OG 3 Regis, although Regieleki is my fav design of all of them. I love that little lightbulb with its little lightning bolt legs

[@nelsonbabilonia4405]

Cy what has been your favorite team so far in this reg? I didnt played last 2 months cause zelda but this time i used the goodra team you featured and this was my fastes time to get to masters 😂 went 12-3

[@biyasiz]

Nice shirt Aaron! Great video as usual.

[@ironboy3245]

What does scarf regieleci not outspeed, even with no EVs in speed?
