I want to validate that Smart Paul is an amazing nickname.

[@1337-Nathaniel]

Haydunn the GOAT with the nicknames, as ever.

[@kieranclark1629]

@@1337-Nathanielhe truly nicknames his Pokémon like a pro

[@dennisflanders1957]

​@@kieranclark1629I see you low key shouting out a ten year old video lol

[@NeekoRich]

Was great battling you man. Both the dragon tail miss and Tera steel at the end shook me up lol

[@PimpinFAR]

Should’ve gone for Iron Head for the potential flinch. Either way it was a good match

[@Teyeranitar]

Yup. Gotta play for your win con at all times.

[@petergazer9135]

Wouldn’t it have done more damage after tera stab too

[@danielblack5196]

Also he could’ve not had to rely on the crit against Milotic if he locked himself into giga drain- the Yanmega has tinted lens so the fezendipiti would’ve taken normal damage anyway plus he’d be getting recovery.

[@Teyeranitar]

⁠@@petergazer9135 Same damage. Tera is a 1.5x boost, same as stab. If you’re a fire type and you fire Tera, it’s 2.0 instead. You also don’t lose your Stab when you Tera boost. So Steel Tera Garchomp basically has 3 stab boosts, Steel, Dragon and Ground. Both moves are 80 power, 120 after stab. So the 20% flinch chance on Iron Head would be the only benefit over Dragon Claw, but that’s definitely worth going for.

[@maskrey]

Iron Head was a guaranteed win, 120BP with STAB. Dragon Claw was 80 without stab. Looking at the roll it's probably a straight KO with Iron Head, but even if it's not, Helmet + Rough Skin is more than enough. Then with Yanmega, even though it probably didn't matter, he should have always clicked Bug Buzz or Giga Drain. Honestly, I love his narration, but every match he makes at least 1 massive and basic misplays, often more. It gets really annoying.

[@inretrosuspect]

Mixtape is the perfect example of Hayden's nicknaming skills! A mixed ape, that's special and physical, a mixed tape that's fire! 🔥

[@greenphantom429]

Loving these Wi-Fi battles lately!! Keep up the great work Haydunn

[@skar.696]

This is absolutely epic! Just today i was thinking to my self at work, how great would it be to come home and find a new Haydunn video. What would be even better, is to see Sinistcha in action. I have a feeling i should start thinking more about winning the lottery as well :D Keep these coming please, love the regular content!

[@donniecupples6721]

Crit didn't matter at the end. He did 42 with a crit which means without the crit he would have done ~26-28hp per hit and comfortably 2hko Bruce. Fun game though

[@toomuchtm87]

Bro has never lied. Certified truther 💯

[@slimmpickens67]

Love you're videos. Garchomp in UU is wild.

[@Chimeraiam]

4 seconds into the video and "Smart Paul" just got me so good xD. I remember watching Paul the Slowbro back in X&Y days

[@Justifythepie]

Damn, that was one of the craziest matches of all time

[@ryankuzmanovic8327]

The intro is just completely beautiful nostalgia to the original vids

[@SnapshotNautilus]

Awesome battle! It was definitely one of the closest I've seen. Thank you as always for sharing!

[@blaacksugar7714]

The new bird looks like a mega evolved Unpheseant.

[@joshuavanderrheede4469]

Imagine garchomp got dragon dance. Oooh boi, it would move out of uu for sure. GG Haydunn!

[@KitDoctor]

That match was cray cray, Hay Hay

[@prestonhill356]

I was really hoping you would steal the win from the rocky helmet/ rough skin damage. It was so close. Love your videos dude. Keep em coming

[@MythX_StoryTeller]

Wow! Well played! On the edge of my seat at the end! Side note: I still use Garchomp. No surprise but it's one of my favorite mons lol I think the fact that he went down in tiers just shows that the game is growing. I agree that the meta is defined by the quality of options and this shows that options are getting better. Still, rock on, Garchomp.

[@jessejames8547]

My boy Haydunn, GG's

[@goffy456]

Not gonna lie, really digging the uploads Missed the content!!

[@Haydunn]

Thanks so much!

[@yn-central_anime]

That WAS an insane match up! I'd also call that a tie but you accomplished your goal in showing everybody Garchomp is still the O.G. and I'm loving the constant uploads! Keep it up bro! 😎💯✨

[@pokemontrainerred5913]

Mama look Haydunn uploaded today! ❤

[@mikusofthefikus]

Damn, he was not kidding

[@annapellerin1941]

All the new Hayden content makes me so so so nostalgic

[@ciscocarrillo2142]

your commentary is pretty funny man, keep up the good work!

[@Haydunn]

I appreciate it!

[@maybeplease88878]

Good match, probably should've went for Iron head at the end for potential salty flinch

[@rokrpro]

Yo, the chokehold this finale had was tight. Well played!

[@naomiseadragon2676]

Anxietea is an excellent name for a Sinistcha! But seriously, I think garchomp is going to be OUBL soon. It's too dang strong!

[@docxy7331]

The crit definitely probably mattered

[@Mefous2]

In another timeline, you timeline, Iron head and flinched the phesentdipidi

[@MaddMoniTalks]

That was crazy. I haven’t enjoyed watching online matches since gen 7.

[@jargote23]

Should of gone for ironhead on last garchomp move. Chance of flinch & stab

[@Haydunn]

Dragon claw was still STAB. You do not lose your original type's STAB boosts when you tera into a new type. Iron head would have probably been a more optimal just because of the flinch chance, though.

[@jargote23]

@@Haydunn really?? I had no idea to this day

[@adonisdarkblade]

@@jargote23 Yes. And you get an extra STAB boost on top of your regular STAB if you terrastalize to your vanilla typing.

[@jeroenvdw]

@@Haydunn Dragon Claw would just be the regular 1.5x stab and Iron Head 2x stab right?

[@ihopeicanchangethis8912]

​@@jeroenvdwYou only get 2x STAB if you terastalises into a type you already get Stab eg dragon or ground type for garchomp.

[@64supersonic]

It took 5 whole generations for Garchomp to fall... the shark had one heck of a career.

[@jonaalaan4294]

Great vid! 🎉

[@johnkluepfel7038]

Would love for you to do some draft leagues or some competitive if you aren’t already!

[@Stayaroughmo]

I remember when you posted a game waaaaay back in like DPP or something and it ended up in a draw but you made us wait until your next upload to show the results lmaoo I think a Swellow used Brave Bird, killed the opponent and then killed itself with recoil

[@chucho_qmp]

WHAT AN ENDING 🤯

[@cymaratechoverdragon]

How the hell has Garchomp gone from Uber to UU? It's like the reverse of Salamence's rise to power lol.

[@shitsalad429]

No, it’s literally Salamence’s downfall

[@ChibiCosmos]

Ik. Coming back to Pokémon and someone told me that I was like wuttt

[@ThatDamnRaccoon]

That was amazing!!

[@eazybuxafew]

Damn that was truly 🔥🔥🔥

[@JeremyCuddles]

Chomp fell to UU in a gen where you can remove it's 4x Ice weakness and still keep it's regular stab? What world am I living in.

[@dancountyfc]

Anxietea might be the best nickname of all time 😂

[@kicker3186]

Another good one

[@surprisecat7401]

Garchomp, Rotom-Wash, Clodsire and Garganacl are all in UU, crazy.

[@Drezon18]

Just give garchomp his dragon dance

[@NickyLaurienzo]

Wowww insane battle lol

[@huckinator]

I think the correct play was iron head instead of dragon claw. It would have done the same damage as dragon claw after the Tera but you could have got the flinch

[@Haydunn]

Yeah I for sure should have rolled that flinch chance lol. All good though, was just for fun in the end

[@zacheryredden5417]

The smogon tiers have gotten kind of wild

[@turboshazed7370]

AnxieTEA. You damn genius...

[@kioy102]

New Toy Syndrome is very real and a lot of the mons that fell to uu are definitely gonna rise back up 😂. Too bad scale shot loaded dice couldn't save chomp.

[@sovest555]

An absolute win for UU

[@sovest555]

Also, Lilligant, whether Hisuian or otherwise, has been a sleeper mon for a while now. Hisuian gets Victory Dance and regular gets Quiver Dance, so it is very much a set-up mon to be wary of.

[@paul25_]

I see a video with Garchomp in the title, I watch said video.

Should've used Iron Head. STAB with the Tera plus the flinch possibility. GG tho.

so regular Paul is... dumb? 😳

[@themoolacato94tuna4]

just a reminder that the tiering system has to do with usage and is only a tiny bit based on how good a mon is.

[@loiziproject2001]

use cramorant

[@Cardlimits]

this is why I don't use smogon, the people in charge of the tier list are usually uninformed amateurs

[@Haydunn]

Garchomp dropped to under used due to literal usage stats by the entire community. There isn’t just like, a small group of people making these decisions lmao. It’s called “under used” and if a mon falls under a certain percentage it drops to the lower tier

[@Cardlimits]

@@Haydunn it's the same group that banned sword and shields gimmick and took a weeks long poll to decide to ban scarlet and violets gimmick, they're cowards

[@Haydunn]

They didn’t ban Tera? Don’t see how tiering systems being based off usage makes them cowards

[@Cardlimits]

@@Haydunn did I say they banned tera? no I said they spent weeks on the poll about banning a gimmick for the second main series game in a row. cowards.

[@Haydunn]

@@Cardlimits if you think that running a community vote on banning aspects of a game to make it more balanced for the playerbase makes them cowards idk what to tell u bro

I don’t understand why there never seems to be a “draw” condition in the games. Like, it’s perfectly fair to me to consider this a draw. Both Pokémon were essentially knocked out at the same time. Is it at all possible to get a draw in the games?

[@cartergamegeek]

No. Somebody has to win.
