[@ethanjones8041]

The most impressive part is that temp saw that the lechonk wasnt going to be able to use its gimmick, but held on to it for over 70 turns, knowing that its singular turn on the field would be to shut down annihilape. He was a mon down from the start but only on the offensive side. Takes a lot of resolve to not sack the pig for a switch advantage but instead hold it for that one specific play. Props.

[@user-wy1et9dk9w]

I think his restraint in that sense is the craziest thing about this… like how early on did he realize this was a possibility

[@crisisasp5396]

my man saw this annihalape becoming a problem from turn 1, they could see each others team so temp knew exactly what was gonna happen with all the passive damage on ausma's team and realise lechonk wouldnt be able to get its gimmick off

[@NotSpecialDude]

The best part was that is that lechonk, at that moment, was 100% the best move. Even if he did rage fist and lechonk stayed alive, there was no winning move against it. Salt cure meant that sub was pointless, and switching would have been devastating as lechonk would have been spamming endeavor that would put the rest of the team within killing range.

[@CatherinetheMewsthebestMTB]

I don't really think he planned THAT far ahead (like 70 turns) to try and sack it vs ape. Especially since switch initiative isn't that game breaking for a stall team anyways. But it definitely takes experience to know not to give up any sacks without any reason. You never know when a sack can be useful, and it ended up being very useful for sure. It was definitely super well played to recognize how to get to his wincon (beat annihilape) by maintaining hazards on the field to chip it down+press the moves needed to prevent it from getting any free switches in [one example of this is when tempt6 clicked brave bird on the annihilape switch in when they expected a u-turn and wanted to get a rage fist stack up]. Can't ever give your opponent an inch to work with, especially if you can recognize when and where they can win

[@IceBlueLugia]

@@puri-makes-stuff-sometimes You misunderstood the comment

[@FrostGlader]

@@puri-makes-stuff-sometimes missed the point: the Lechonk is to block the Annihilape from coming in and setting up, as the opponent NEEDS to keep it alive to prevent the Lechonk from using Endeavour. If Annihilape dies, it’s game over, as shown quite clearly when the Annihilape does go down. I’ve seen the chess comparison to High Level singles play, and I have to agree with it: One Good Play can win you the match, but you want to avoid the opponent making that play by removing the opportunities to do so. It’s also something that can happen in Doubles: I once used a Zoroark disguised as Eelectross to Trick a Scarf onto a Garchomp, effectively disabling its ability to kill Eelectross thanks solely to their Gengar’s Cursed Body. It’s because Endeavour is Normal Type that the Annihilape isn’t fine with it: it wants to set up and sweep, but now has to play a more defensive role to prevent Lechonk from effectively doing an OHKO to whatever it wants. As shown in the game, it was the Lechonk that shut down Annihilape.

[@puri-makes-stuff-sometimes]

@@FrostGlader But that literally isn't true; Lechonk had to deal with hazards for a good 90% of the game, and the fact that it's presence REQUIRED a sash to be threatening meant all you needed to do to neutralize it is keep them up, which is exactly what happened. It just so happened that it blocked Drain Punch in endgame, but that was never the intended use for it. It was a nice side thing, sure, but it didn't stop Ape from threatening everything; in fact, if Lechonk tried Endeavor at any point, Ape would've won the game by switching in on it. Maneuvering around Ape was the reason it didn't win immediately; the pig had nothing to do with it.

Temp clearly knows how to play around the counters, and can probably use it to quite consistent success. Something to also keep in mind is while it's easy to play around, it still has to be played around, so the Pokemon that stop it basically become essential. That is good for strategizing

honestly I think he's pretty decent at improvising if he realized his plans of sash were done then realized immediately you can be a free turn

[@EmperorHelix]

He had Bidoof's blessing.

[@reun1clus]

This actually shows that there are top players who meme a lot, and also might be many who are strong players but don't actually care about the metagame's competitiveness and health... on the other hand, we could also interpret it as OU council members being not as strong as people think they are... getting rekt by a youtube memer xD

[@stonalisa3729]

He deserves a council spot more than mudkip nerd

What did Tempt6t get in return for defeating the Smogon OU council?

[@gold626]

pretty sure the bet was that every council member would post "subscribe to temp6t" on their forum wall or some other place, i have personally never checked if it did happen

[@neond6740]

A positive bump to his reputation.

[@Vassilinia]

A video out of it where he gets to clickbait using Lechonk? (I actually want this to happen)

[@noukan42]

It won't surprise me if the stake was this very video.

[@Bluecrimson217]

He got memes.

[@Abdu-k6o]

3:22 balkan rage 💀💀💀💀

[@matthewdavis3421]

Never considered tempt6t to be a bad player. He just makes content with meme teams and edits in noises that go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. On rare occasion when he busts out a less gimmicky team, he crushes, and that's not to mention the depth of knowledge he has which allows him to come up with gimmicks in the first place.

[@cyberdragonzekrom6790]

Smogon: “Lechonk is now banned. Temp6t is also personally banned.”

[@BlackHanzo]

It's like people say about Temp6t most people got a skill issue in Pokémon but his skill is a issue for most people

[@matthijscalje4143]

I'll be frank, I always thought his videos were staged but this is just the greatest thing

[@windedemulation1159]

Saw a bunch of comments in a different comment section saying they were, but honestly, who cares? I never checked the info, but his channel is pretty much just for laughs anyway. Man has just achieved peak comedy in that battle too

[@pyranitar]

Bro won 5v6 against a genuinely competent player, absolutely insane.

[@blakemamba2067]

Fun fact Lechonk is instrumental to scarlet and violet speedruns , in a similar manner to how it was used here.

[@grumpynurse7529]

I really hate the "salty player cries after facing gimmick" videos so much, but I must say that this was just soo cool of temp, this man earns respect.

[@PlusOneGamer]

I know al-lot of people give tempt6 shit, but you honestly have to know what you're doing to make these strategies work. It's pretty clear he's a good player, he just likes to have fun with it and I don't see anything wrong with that.

[@jamirimaj6880]

i can definitely hear already the sonic and pokemon soundtracks temp usually use when he uploads this one lol

[@Nako3]

I thought temp would stage his own videos by playing vs himself

@@Musasensei1674 ye

[@des4929]

i mean he probably stages some but some people are like “all his videos are staged” like people make burner accounts yes some videos are fake but i’d say the ratio of fake/real is somewhere around 30/70

[@xXunknownXx0000]

@@des4929 do you even play showdown? Ppl don't be talking in chat at all it's very rare to see ppl actually rage in chat there's the occasionally "glhf" and "gg" other than that there's pretty much nobody talking. And alot of the account are 1100 literally new accounts only did a few battle and almost all of them act the same too "HACKS!" "YOUR HACKING!!!" They literally said this everytime it's so obvious it's fake stop dick riding

[@des4929]

@@xXunknownXx0000 god why does anything temp is remotely involved in have to turn into an argument about if he fakes vids also i said yes he does fake some vids but not all and it’s my opinion i’ve encountered people who act like people in temps vids i’m fairly active in the match chat and no i’m not “dick riding” as i said some vids are fake some vids are not and even then to quote therussianbadger “i don’t care. i don’t care.” i watch him for the strats and the vids are actually funny to me (yes my sense of humor is fucked).

[@kitsune_jones]

I like how g2 was pretty much decided when Ape was KO'd at turn 83 but they still kept playing until like turn 110+. Now that's tenacity. I would've fallen asleep by turn 60 lol

[@facelessnameless]

Tempt has done more to bring in players than most people, we should be happy for his success. Not taking the game too seriously and having fun wins over the elitists who complain about gimmicks, low ladder wins, memes etc

[@Slur_the_Badguy]

Problem wit his channel is dat most of it is fake. None of that stuff usually happens online

[@Breakaway-ic5gj]

@@Slur_the_Badguy How can you prove it ? Didn't he have a stream where he lost like 40 battles in a row and it took hours for him to find a salty kid ?

@@Breakaway-ic5gj never heard that.

I was confused for a second thinking this was some 3rd person video until I remembered you and temp are different people since I'm subbed to you both haha

[@silverylu7172]

Imagine bringing two Pokémon you know for a fact are close to being banned due to their sheer power, and still getting dabbed on by a literal pork commandeered by a meme lord

[@mastrxl]

The fact that Lechonck acutally saved the game for Temp is insane

[@awesomepomegranite]

This feels like an anime, especially because there are 9 ou council members. Like its just perfect

[@jamesoncatlett6784]

Temp is the main protagonist, we are all npcs and spinners

Well Lechonk is going to get banned next I guess…

[@driftwood42]

I heard that this happened but I have been waiting for Freezai to tell me what the context was

[@blazerfox22]

Temp6t can official call himself a gimmick master. He knows so many little gimmicks he can use them to outplay one of the best players out there
