Haxorus Does Way More Damage Than You Thought

[@lukethody5035]

"Outclassed by the power creep" is so real lmao

[@evanreloadingbazookagaming1699]

What’s the power creep

[@b0t_345]

@@evanreloadingbazookagaming1699power creep just means that things get stronger as time goes on. In Pokémon’s case, modern Pokémon like fluttermane, goldhengo, etc. are much stronger than Pokémon from earlier gens

[@Notaytchannel-i4v]

Truly because of speed

[@carstengrooten3686]

​@@evanreloadingbazookagaming1699what the other guy says. Its that the developers keep introdicing more powerful moves and pokemon so that you will use the new pokemon over the old ones. They know the old ones are more popular so they give tue new ones an adge by making them stronger to guarantee people will play with them. But it means that unless the old mons get cherrypicked for buffs too, they will get left behind and will be outclassed by newer mons. You see it in the games, but also in the TCG. 10 years ago, no pokemon had 200 hp, now almost all special cards do. In gen 1, the tankiest cards did often not even make 100. In gen 9, a lot of mons came out that would be utterly overpowered in previous generations. But most mons got upgrades so the entire field gets lifted. And the mons that dont get big buffs like Haxorus get left behind. Its a little sad but understandable and refreshing at the same time

[@DenisBencic]

The irony is that Haxorus used to be the definition of power creep back in Gen 5.

[@matthewbrown8614]

Found out first hand from battling you last Friday how dangerous HAX still is. It took out 2 of my mons. If my great tusk doesn't land a Crit close combat to take it out you sweep and I probably end up in a video. Our battle was legendary and it was an honor. Keep up the good work it makes my lunch breaks awesome!

@@javierreyes2502It took me until BDSP to learn that Mold Breaker nullifies Sturdy, and even then I thought it was coincidence that my Pinsir kept one-shotting Gravelers.

[@yeahyeahwowman8099]

What is great about Tera electric mold Breaker Haxorus is that he completely destroys every wall in the game. What you need is Dragon Dance, Tera Blast, Iron Head, Earthquake, say goodbye to Clodsire, Skeledirge, Corviknight, Dondonzo, Clefable😂

[@matthewbrown8614]

Okay bro I see you I might copy this! Good idea

[@Genericmug]

but what if they tera?

[@yeahyeahwowman8099]

@@Genericmug but what if.... you could apply that logic to almost any game where you verse a human opponent. Opponent is supposed to be taken by suprise obviously, you don't show your Tera until you need it, nobody really expects Tera electric.

[@RokuroCarisu]

People either underestimate Haxorus because it isn't a pseudo-legendary or overestimate it because they think it's one.

[@icedlemongamer]

its both in my hear1🥰

[@tsukinoakuma]

Let's be real, it may as well be one.

[@nightmare348]

I love Haxorus. I found a shiny one out of nowhere on Glaseado Mountain in my Violet version. With all the updates to make competitive battling easier, I turned it from trash into a diamond.

[@natnaterson9717]

Was just wondering as someone who skipped Gen 9, what changes were made? For me the most annoying things were getting perfect IV’s and nature so if those were made easier that would be cool.

[@danielalbers5173]

@@natnaterson9717depending on how long you’ve been out of the games, they have bottle caps which allow you to max out ivs, and you can quick battle (send out a Pokémon in the real world, doesn’t have a standard battle) and KO Pokémon, which counts for evs as well. Tms are also much easier to acquire in gen 9. Hope this helps!

[@danielalbers5173]

@@natnaterson9717oh and they have mints which allow you to manually change natures

[@beta4239]

@@natnaterson9717Since generation 7 (Sun and Moon) there have been items called Bottle Caps that you can give to an NPC to max out a Pokémon’s IVs. In gen 7 and 8(?) your Pokémon had to be level 100 to use this, but in Gen 9 it was changed to be level 50. Generation 8 also added Nature Mints, which allow you to change your Pokémon’s nature to one more beneficial, though berries that confuse based on Natures still work off of the original nature. Gen 8 also added EXP. Candy, which gives Experience based on what sized candy you give it (XL giving the most, and XS the least). These changes makes it so much easier to make legit competitive teams, and if you’re an avid shiny hunter like me, full shiny teams that are actually good. It still takes some grinding (mostly Raids in gens 8 and 9) but it’s MUCH easier than how we used to have to breed for just about everything.

[@JohnDoe-zx1ck]

​@@natnaterson9717there are also items that can let you change between a pokemons abilities, including hidden abilities. Egg moves can be transferred to pokemon, no breeding required. You can build any shiny into a perfect competitive pokemon.

[@TheLPcollector]

17:10 at his point you had a guaranteed safe turn, Cinderrace was in its guaranteed sleep turn, so you had another chance to set up the Rocks with a stone axe

[@EpyonRules]

Yeah, but if Cinderace had stayed in to burn the guaranteed sleep turn while Hayden switched out to physical Milotic, he could get in a potentially free DD to keep pace with the Contrary Sticky Web (and have an attack boost under his belt to potentially take out whatever comes in).

[@Bundeskaiser]

Back in Gen 5 Haxorus was favourite dragon type. It was just an incredible wallbreaker. And I really like its look.

Shit I read that as bladder

[@AllBladesCut]

U turning into ambipom for a fake out or bullet punching twice was actually ur best play for turns 1 and 2 since u would have for sure prevented light screen from going up. This also means ur gastordon probably kills that sneasler since it wouldnt have light screens.

Haxorus is my go to dragon in my playthroughs bro will sweep through them ai teams.

Haxorus may be slowly falling off but it will always have one of the most metal designs ever

[@jaleelkahn7032]

I've been using Rev and Hax as a team since this generation started tbh. But for the first time I have to call out the header because pretty much everyone jas known exactly how hard this sucker hits after a single dance and the move pool has always been excellent. Outrage and Lum, lum and taunt, taunt and dance, etc

Love the dd loaded dice scale shot with tera steel iron head and cc for the last move

The text box about sound moves does come up, but the opponent has to try using the sound move. Then the text box comes up explaining that the sound move failed due to Throat Chop

Haxorus is amazing. Monstrous attack, with a speed stat slightly below Garchomp. Making it often overlooked. If this dude gets a dragon dance in, it's all over.
