[@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

[@ProfesorOryc]

The best thing about that whole situation is that Lechonk DID cause Annihilape to lose with that almost-nonexistent Drain punch recovery. Amazing.

Tempt6 is really something else man. Like, obviously his gimmicky playstyle comes at the cost of a horrible win to lose ratio, but the fact that he sticks to them rather than always using the more common Pokémon is actually amazing.

[@IceBlueLugia]

@@thepurified8386 You misunderstood the comment

[@FrostGlader]

@@thepurified8386 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.

[@thepurified8386]

@@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.

i think what can be learned about this is that temp isn't just a memer or even just a good player. he's an apex memer, able to strategize and head game and weave his gimmicks into formidable strategic plays

[@80sJoel]

True memelord

[@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

[@RageGS]

That has got to be the biggest brain tech I've ever seen on a Pokemon team Kudos

[@Goldenblade14]

People who say temp's videos are all staged clearly either didn't watch this video or have no idea what low level ladder is like.

[@theunease5541]

Dawg wtf, I was under the impression temp was just meme content. I figured he probably wasn't that good at the game and he just fished for low ladder people who freak out or staged games. A lot more respect from me, damn.

[@skullguy4863]

He is a former council member He downplays his skill with meme sets

[@Aquilenne]

The stages games are definitely at least mostly true. I've never run into people who talk like the people in his/her videos, and s/he runs into them regularly enough to make consistent videos.

[@skullguy4863]

@@Aquilenne temp is a dude

[@titanium4082]

@@Aquilenne I've run into loons online before, so to see him having it happen wasn't really a stretch to believe. Though to be fair with the consistency of his encounters, it was either fake or he played a LOT. I liked to think the latter, but the prior makes more sense

[@viktorreznov9116]

Hilarious story and Great video to cover it

[@Darthescar98]

Hot take: I think there was a legitimately good strat with Lechonk. Like just about anything, it's easy to stop if it's not used well. 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

[@stonalisa3729]

He deserves a council spot more than mudkip nerd

[@kaneobscurum6016]

I mean it makes sense. Temp pulls out some bafflingly niche and unique effects from various move and item combinations. To do that well one would need great knowledge of game mechanics. And that kind of knowhow makes for an opponent whom might not be the strongest or best, but is very tricky to face.

[@blakemamba2067]

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

[@Zenith8896]

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.

[@imablisy]

On top of just being gimmicks, if you look up any of the accounts from his videos, they're always like 1100 lol. I would have literally just assumed he didn't actually play the game for real. Really funny.

[@destroyer4929]

so what you just think all he does is stage videos? how do you think he got that custom avatar

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

Great coverage!!! More random battles would be appreciated 👍 The disrespect was real hahaha

[@zekoshimimaru2177]

Idk if hes good or not but every single one of his videos is facing literal 6 year olds so its easy to see why theres so much doubt

[@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

[@BeingMuslimah55]

Was waiting for this

[@lukebracken]

Lvl 1 lechonk win is something that will live on in my heart forever.

[@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.

[@supremeoverlordfallen5]

He being so skilled, still makes staged videos

[@TheLaughingMan313]

Well Lechonk is going to get banned next I guess…

[@dephony5648]

It really shows that Temp is an adaptable player. Even though the original plan failed, he saw what Annihilape was doing with drain punch and then fucking went for it

[@enderguy06]

"without the Stall breaker theres no way to break stall" you dont say But yes, Great Vid boss man Keep up the good work

[@NeoGraena]

I heavily underestimated Temp. To the point i made a personal bet that Temp wins i'll play with a full FEAR team on NDOU.... Result was almost 1 hours of suffering

[@ausma9350]

damn.

[@chukadoo1871]

temp6t always seems like a good player, it's the opponents that seeem sketch. weedle's gimmicks are so fun/creative the opponents play is just a bonus imo

[@Kulkogo]

What started as a joke became a game saver. Just another day on temps channel.

[@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

[@Falapin_Enjoyer]

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