HISUIAN TYPHLOSION can DESTROY teams... • Pokemon Scarlet/Violet VGC Battles

[@waterwolflip77]

It is actually unhealthy how much I am invested in Aaron cybertron Zheng climbing the online vgc ladder and providing live commentary as he goes 👍 keep up the good work king

[@JRR31]

Same bro same, def the live commentary as he goes for me

[@miguellomeli8709]

Who wants to see an alternate for Totodile? I feel that there is a lot they can do with the evo line.

[@sotamos]

😊😊😊

[@grimmSOL]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love watching you not only based on your natural talent, ranking so high using other teams, including your own, but the way you talk through your thought process, for a team introduction, for a lead, each turn you take, but also your opponent's turns and what could've happened... I learn so much each video. Been watching you for years and love your content!

[@CybertronVGC]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind words :)

[@michaelpeebs]

It's the player and castor commentator combo. The analysis comes from a great knowledge of competitive but is backed up by an understanding of explaining plays and what's going on to those less in the the know. Aaron's a goat. And his content always shines for this reason compared to others. Big love to you Aaron!

[@ahobbitstail7022]

The contraat between Wolf's dread of this format on Beastcoast, and the palpable excitement you have for it is hilarious 😂 I'm glad work is fun for you right now!

[@harryscary8848]

Happy to see Typhlosion rock the ranked ladder! Thanks CybertronVGC

[@reneepineau631]

You're pumping out so much content lately! It's easy to tell how much you're loving this format 😅

[@Zolrain]

Probably cause this regulation actually brought alot of new mons, especially ones no one has gotten to use EVER in the history of VGC unlike B and C which only brought in 4 each time. Aaron u wanna run my pikachu hat team? hahaha.

Cyndaquil is my all time favorite starter evolution line, so happy it‘s getting some time to shine! I wish they gave the other 2 evo‘s a different take too in legenda arceus

[@curtiswong1610]

I love how aaron keeps playing smartly and happily. Like when he gets really unlucky he still has his positivity which i wish i have when i encounter triple para and flinch lol.

I'm loving the variety of teams that your showcasing in this format! Every one is so different and fun

[@pachipachimari1443]

Thanks so much for the Reg D content! I love all these teams, and your tutorials on the teams are unmatched!

[@CybertronVGC]

Thank you so much!!!

[@nebbynoo1127]

Using this team atm at great ball rank 7-8 it's a lot of fun. I tried some other teams out but keep coming back to this one as I'm familiar with it and enjoy not needing to waste a turn to set up. Thundurus might be my mvp as a fun support mon with lots of utility. Messed up a few times with psychic terrain and vs sableye. Also heatran, trick room and other stuff is still hard to beat or get around but hopefully I can learn and improve. I find ursaluna to be the weakest link and would probably switch for a heatran counter but I still take him fairly often. :)

[@trick6pokemon624]

I totally played against this team on showdown a couple of hours ago! I wound up losing due to not using Aqua Jet under Trick room with my urshifu rs assuming I was slower than their flutter without examining the team comp carefully.

[@joshuavgc4160]

Such a fire team. Im happy that you are enjoying Reg D and enjoy making videos for us all.

[@kittyspartan143]

I am so happy to see my favorite starter of all time get some competitive play!

[@maeflower25]

I was hoping that someone would figure out a way to use Hisuian Typhlosian and Lilligant in VGC! I used both of them for my team in Legends Arceus and they were both amazing.

[@nicholasalexander9866]

Let’s get it! Hisuan Typhlosion (my favorite of the Legends Arceus starters) turn, then Decidueye!

Hey Aaron! Im always so excited when I see a new upload from you! Whether it’s battles or you introducing the new format. I love it all!

[@TheBepisMan]

Love how much im able to learn from your videos! Your team breakdown and turn by turn talks help so much to make me feel like a better player! Keep up the good work!

[@rithwiksreenathpk1118]

My favourite starter(s) is either Sceptile or Blaziken! Kinda sad they dont have any special gimmicks or moves anymore (hoping for something for sceptile in a future legends game)

[@adriandiaz4624]

hi Aron i battled against you yesterday on ladder. I managed to win which was very special considering you got me into vgc a few years ago and i learned by watching your videos. keep it up bro

[@1001History]

QOTD: Competitively, incineroar is the only correct answer. But it's so overused. Other than that, any of the mega starters or protean greninja were powerhouses back in the day. If we're talking personal favourites it'd be Feraligatr - my first starter as a kid.

[@matthewtan9044]

Hi Aaron! Thank you for continuously uploading regulation D content😇! This is by far my favourite format in Scarlet and Violet as well with so many viable Pokemon! My favourite starter is definitely Infernape! It was the first Pokemon I ever saw! Even before Pikachu! 🤣 Also loved it in the games and anime! No doubt however Incineroar is the best starter Pokemon competitively. Loved using it in Sword and Shield. Hopefully it will come back soon!😂

[@mohamednaushard6663]

ur content always makes me so happy thanks Aaron

[@CybertronVGC]

Thank you for watching :)

[@mainlane6344]

QOTD: Totodile and it is not close lol. It is the perfect mix of cute and strong looking!

[@c.kiousis3663]

Thanks for the team, looks amazing. My favourite starter pokemon is Charmeleon but Hisuan and regular Typhlosion come pretty close.

[@angelitabecerra]

More Typhlosian content pretty please 🙏🏾 Hisuian or otherwise. I just love this Pokémon line. I'd be interested in seeing Quilava used as well. Though, dunno how you'd make it viable for competitive play

[@lizardonscribes5168]

Was using a similar team featuring charizard , fake out definitely neutered it well, clever work around to use Typhloshion

[@zurtwig]

Anytime my boy Torkoal gets featured I get so excited. Definitely can’t wait to try this team out! QOTD: I’ll always love Torterra, ice weakness aside

[@carlanthonydelosangeles7411]

I love this duo! They both have sleepy eyes.

[@StSour94]

I tried my best in game #2. Always a pleasure to fight against you. GG , greetings from Costa Rica

[@barrymcguinness8511]

My first ever Pokemon was Bulbasaur when Red first came out. I even have a tattoo of him. He's my fave for sure!

[@alexanderhandwerker9760]

damn i remember like a year ago i started getting back into pokemon just because the content around it was interesting to me and some months after i got one of your regulation c videos recommended with an interesting team and now here i am being excited about your new upload because i missed them for the last days😅

[@StarlitesExotics]

Me a casual pokemon player: oh yeah i can definitely try this. Me after attempting and failing hard: nevermind, these guys are pros for a reason 😅 You guys are awesome. I love watching matches and the commentary on how you look into these competitive teams. I hope one day i can delve into vgc

[@TYGKO.]

I personally love Glimmora so much: it’s cute, great typing, AMAZING ability, truly a 10/10 Pokémon.

[@tjjohnson1040]

We missed you while you were gone, sir! I got used to watching you every night and didn't know what to do on your days off 😢

[@mumbosauce4]

Yessss a fantastic hisui Typhlosion vid! Keep up the amazing work!

[@rhettllewallyn8435]

wish we had feraligatr too, but i think I'll have to stay in the Squirtle Squad. Cyndaquil was my gen 2 homie tho

[@GamePassHolic]

Been using a similar team lately and have some notes. First off I found Lilligent gets better use out of Wide Lense than Focus Sash. That allows it to more reliably use Axe Kick over Close Combat while boosting Sleep Powders chances as well. I also had a lot of trouble with Rain teams with Torkoal and found minus speed Thunderous Prankster Sunny Day was a better counter to Pelliper and Rain Dance Pranksters who now outspeed with Rain Dance and allow your slow Prankster Sunny Day to win out.

[@chi3fross]

QOTD - Competitively Incineroar is definitely the best, but my favorite has always been Sceptile. Also a quick sidenote, I think Johto Typhlosion is really interesting in this format as well. It can naturally outspeed a lot of threats the Hisuian form has issues with like Urshifu, freeing you up to run specs for more power, and with flash fire it has a great matchup into opposing sun

[@bobnob4393]

As someone who doesn't play Pokémon but loves watching your battles I'd love it if every now and then you dropped a bit more information about things so noobs like me could learn. As an example when mentioning chlorophyll "the 50% speed boost from chlorophyll helps" rather than "the speed boost from chlorophyll helps" Something like that. That's again, love your videos

[@cartergamegeek]

Chlorophyll is double not 50%. All the weather boosting Abilities double Speed.

[@gabebaum6527]

My favorite starter is actually empoleon, partly because it was my first ever starter, and partly because back when I did gen 6 and 7 singles pairing it with chesnaught was such a good defensive core. Also being the only water-steel type gives it a pretty good defensive and offensive type combo that grants it a unique niche imo.

[@TheProswagonist]

Best starter in vgc is prolly either Incinaroar or Rillaboom. Rillaboom especially is interesting cause even after it's massive nerfs coming into gen 9, you see it still more than holds its weight.

[@wolfherojohnson2766]

Ok this is probably a dumb idea, but consider the following: If you put tera Dark on Thunderus, you become immune to prankster. This means that by using tera dark, you can safely get taunt off on non mental herb prankster users. This means that you can contribute a little less into speed and more into either bulk or special attack for example.

[@SoraTsubasa]

I run Ty with Frisk because it takes the guessing out of opponents items and gives good insight. Underrated imo

[@Laughingwithtravii]

i run ice spinner on my liligant with no sleep powder. extremely fun bluff. thanks for the vid as always!

[@Laughingwithtravii]

been rewatching vids casually, just wanted to come back here to say i ended up dropping protect eventually. so now its just axe kick, leaf blade, ice spinner, sleep powder. i run wide lens for axe kick + sleep powder accuracy. while i defo still miss close combat, focus sash, and protect at times, i enjoy being able to catch people off guard, especially for cart. axe kick is nice cause no stat drops, and leaf blade i like more than solar blade when your weather gets countered. im not sure if its actually more consistent, but it feels that way to me. anywho thanks for the knowledge, education, and inspiration as always.

[@justme14357]

The best Starter is obviously (imo) Primarina! I love the Design. Hopefully she'll be available in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet with the DLC. Edit: Primarina also seems like a good Urshifu or even Flutter Mane answer.

[@m.p.sutherlandjr.6905]

Best starter all-time: Swampert. That's my guy. Such an OP typing imo.

[@christopherbgsted4749]

I think my favorite starter is Torterra, but I find most of the starters awesome. The fact that it's a tortoise waddling around with a tree on it's back is super cute, and it's surprisingly powerful with those stab earthquakes If the question is related to competitive competence, there is no denying that Incineroar (oof) has been the most impactful, and I think for sure the strongest, even with the newer starters - it's just so damn strong

[@angelitabecerra]

Cyndaquil is my favorite Pokémon 🥰 And I've always wondered why Typhlosion never gets used

[@miquelcanosasanteularia1678]

Nice to see this team with typhlosion

[@jonathanwilson1539]

As Pokémon Crystal was my first ever game, Typhlosion will forever be my favorite.

[@tlyee6166]

Great video as always!!

[@gabep3586]

I really enjoy the team introduction!

[@stew347]

QOTD: I like Meowscarada a lot. Cool design and subtle shiny makes it in my books but being a top competitive mon makes it all the better.

[@theproducer321]

Love the idea of this team i like sun teams alot just seem slightly harder to use than rain teams may give a try to a variation of this team tho awesome stuff man

[@arknorstuff2586]

I couldn't imagine appearing here. I'm happy to be here.

[@TheRealNenharm]

Finally! I've been waiting forever for a new video to watch!

[@yungskeleton-wotvffbe8939]

Swampert is my favorite starter for real. Came back to Pokémon in gen 6 because of mega swampert

[@juliner4036]

I love the nicknames the pokemon have! It's nice to see them, I know why they don't allow it, but.. it would be nice to see nicknames on ladder ingame...

[@scottcrysel]

Ran into this team on the ladder earlier. Helped that i was running rain dance on my tornadus 😂 I love penguins so Empoleon is tailor-made for me lol! Just wish it had Competitive instead of Defiant

[@isaiahdray]

My typhlo always getting outsped or sucker punch so definitely excited to try this

[@RideDatDonkey97]

Thyplosion is one of my favorite pokemon so I'll definitely be testing this team out

[@nanabobo567]

That first battle got me thinking. How different would the Paradox Pokemon meta be if instead of telling you what was boosted, it just said something like, "[POKEMON] got a stat boost from the weather/Booster Energy/terrain"?

[@yarrgoronohobolonodo]

If there was one tweak I'd make to this team, it'd be to make Hisuian Lilligant run a Hustle Entrainment set instead. Entrainment removes Heatran's ability to wall this team while putting Hustle on it makes its heat waves even less accurate.

[@markuspramberg8958]

I'm having so much fun in regulation D! I'm constantly in the top 500 with a pseudo rain team with protective pads Urshifu Rapid Strike and a Tinkaton

[@sneps-ix2th]

the best starters of all time would have to be between one of the protean trio (likely greninja with the original battle bond), a variant of mega charizard or maybe speed boost blaziken back when that was released. h-samurott should be up there too, with the new unaware gator thing too now that i think about it.

[@jmleongmusic]

QOTD: Is there really an argument for any starter Pokémon other than Incineroar? At least in terms of VGC. My second choice would be Rillaboom, but I don’t really think it’s close.

[@luigimanzelli3786]

seeing this team i really think you might wanna try Farigiraf or Bruxish, blocking all the sucker punches would be amazing value in my opinion.

[@sleeper9550]

Love hisuian typhlosion i use frisk instead of blaze because it felt consistent and knowing opponents items is useful

[@treygreypaws3689]

Qotd: Tough but for me personally I love Greninja, Rillaboom, Torterra and Infernape but as regards to VGC? Probably Incineroar

[@Imoxone]

Hey, Aaron! How’s your team building for worlds going so far ?

[@jamespainter4565]

honestly, i've considered normal Typhlosion for this kind of team. not weak to ghost or dark and 5 extra base speed is pretty tempting.

[@wassermanlouis]

I can't help describing your lead as Typhlorkoal.

[@dr_brewer]

I’m curious about the side will-o-wisp option for Ursaluna to open up all the other item options.

[@XDaarken]

I was building a very close team to this one Happy to see it with Typhlosion

[@xCateyez]

I'd be interested to see if Typhlosion's signature move would be good with a prankster status user. That way you could threaten huge damage with both fire and ghost.

[@Stickytacos666]

Been running Tera Fairy with solid results

[@frogmann-ug3cs]

0:00 hey Arron Cybertron Zheng. Frog man here.

[@toastypencil3447]

I think switching out ursuluna for lando t is the best choice here since with a combo of tera blast and u turn plus stomping tantrum with AV it pretty much hard counters heatran

[@mr.clamps]

Looks like a really good team! any advice on how to play into a Indeedee/Armarouge?

[@SnarkyShane]

QOTD: Best competitively? Pretty hard to argue against Charizard after it dominated Sw/Sh for so long, but Rillaboom is definitely in the running. Favorite? Always thought Torterra was really cool despite being pretty mediocre

[@eesev2017]

I love this team, it’s like a fast version of my eruption Torkoal trick room team. But, the non-answer for Heatran really ruins it for me. I am gonna try modifying this a bit to correct that

[@toastypencil3447]

I was thinking of using special attacking torn instead of thunderus instead for flying coverage and additional speed control

[@slipqy]

i have been looking forward to this one :)

[@Bryan-pf9ru]

If only h-typhlosion had hyper voice. Had a team strat with throat spray but alas I doesn’t get that move. Hoping DLC gives it the upgrade it needs.

[@nelsonbabilonia4405]

Just played against this time and used the goodra team you featured and jesus i almost lose even though i knocked out liligant on 1st turn

[@SPIDERMANTVkabenom]

I love this this will greatly help me i suck so much in doubles hahaha

[@Pleaseenteraname-c1m]

QOTD: Personal Favorite: Blazekin, the best starter of the best trio. Competitively: Incineroar, no explanation needed.

[@TheHOMGninja]

Now this is a team I can get behind

[@pikamain9689]

QOTD: Either Mega Blaziken or HA Rillaboom on release imo Oh and incin, forgot that was decent in doubles

[@Spheal777]

In my opinion it's unovan samurott with primarina, skeledirge, and feraligatr all close behind it

[@rafa2117s]

Was missing your content Aaron!

[@messyj9276]

For me it's gotta be a tie between sheer force feraligatr and contrary Serperior. it took me so long to get the iv's right for hidden power fire ;')

[@MrRussor]

QOTD: I mean, it's obviously Piplup. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2K9l6VmqduhZ6c Where is he anyway? Has he got a sass on because he's not been in a game for a while? Scarlet/Violet needs more Piplup.

Wish I made it un the video 💀. Fought u last night or the night before and it was a really cool game and my first time facing ya.

[@shaykhmhssi3246]

QOTD:My favorite starter is Meowscarada, although I don't think it's the "best" in competitive atm.

[@j.jerome1432]

If Typhlosion uses Overheat, then tera fires, sub out, sub in. When were they receiving STAB?
