[@SBSlim19]

we always sleep on hyper beam every patch. never fails. its just not top tier but hyper beam has been solid for a while

[@jeremyzzz5067]

I miss hyper beam when it came out… now that was a death beam

[@fluffymonster396]

Dragonite is my current favorite to play. I love going angry dragon mode and being able to fly across the map and swoop down to help almost instantly means I can get to where I need to be quickly, which is neat.

[@MOST-CONFIDENT]

It's the only pokemon that can justify backpacking since the unite still gets you to Ray on time after the fight started and the enemies back line is exposed is too perfect especially if their like 3 attackers and you already have a speedster dealing with them.

[@heyAmashy]

I genuinely had to no idea there was a 3rd stage of hyper beam I’ve been trying to use it the last couple days and I thought it was horrible! Now I know why lol

[@Dr.Plague24]

Lmao the buzzswole is my friend. That was actually so cool to see

[@spragels]

nice!

[@Sui_kun3]

I’ve been running it with Charging Charm instead of Scope lately, it’s been fun. Is it the most optimal build? Idk but it’s fun, and I’ve carried really really well with it

[@cobrakai8049]

I was expecting some PTS fun time today. Hope life is well over in your neck of the woods.

[@spragels]

Played some earlier! Stream is up in my stream playlist

[@Avrn-d7r]

I have a question- Should I buy dragonite or buzzwole? Btw love your videos ❤❤

[@Belesprit656]

Buzzwole is a lot stronger and easier to use but Dragonite has a pretty unique playstyle, whichever feels more fun to play.

[@spragels]

buzz

[@TheAlburp]

You know Jake, it takes a real man to admit his mistakes. Proud of you bud🙏🏻❤

[@JP-R0llex]

Meh

[@spragels]

meh haw

[@jaskuneYT]

I reached Master Rank in just 30 matches this season because of Dragonite, though I am using Extreme Speed and Outrage moveset.

[@saturn4theworst]

A Pokémon I have undervalued in the game in terms of strength is Leafeon, not a specific moveset but Leafeon in general, when I was announced as a Speedster I had my doubts on it, leaned away from buying it for a while and still haven’t bought it now. Boy what a mistake I made, it sweeps me every time now, whether that be Solar Blade or Razor Leaf. Another is Delphox, but I don’t see too many of them nowadays. As for a Pokémon I have undervalued in terms of how fun it is to play, Dodrio. Drill Peck and the scoring process is just satisfying and Agility helps out a lot with that. I don’t enjoy it so much on Tri Attack or Jump Kick, but it gets the job done nonetheless.

[@Red-jq6bw]

I did not even knew Hyper Beam could be charges 😂. I always use Outrage thanks to the insane damage, but i should try this build at least once

[@tonicconverse]

I feel like the stuff I would be most hyped for in the game is just too weird. Like magcargo would be cool sandslash would be nice, aggron.

[@StoneyHalf-DragonHero9102]

I haven't played Dragonite in awhile because of the highly frustrating experience I keep having... It seems like every time I play Outrage Dragonite, I get CC'ed so much by so many things from the enemy team that I practically become useless & Full Heal doesn't help at all in situations like this. & when THE ENEMY team plays it, they become a threat. Totally unfair. I'm hoping that I'll have much better luck in trying this build.

[@Getyoahh]

K just play hyper beam

[@williamgarrison3573]

One minute gang for the first time ever, so honored

[@spragels]

legend

[@ItzMiKeKirbY]

Find it, prioritize it, force it’s unite, kill it. Don’t let Hyper Beam Dragonite near *ANY* objective let alone Ray.

[@KingsofStreaming24]

I underestimated buzzwole. Ive played pokemon unite since season 2, and only last month I bought him. Now hes my secondary. Hes so strong!! If you know how to play him.

[@davidkillips7569]

The match making is making me consider quitting. Doesn't matter how hard I carry my team is just bad, but their team is a trio with high win rates. Every season I'm between 1800 2000 I barely made it to 1600. I have been so excited for draft but not with unite in this current state. Sorry, I just wanted to vent. If I see one more magikarp afk in base I may lose my mind

[@BoioBoing]

The real question is which lane to go to when there's a Magikarp on both teams but opposite lanes. No, but the midway question, I'd like to say Sableye. The little gentleman is still not my top pick by any means, but playing Sableye is extremely fun and I think it's doing better than I give it credit for. Though, for the majority of the Unite community I still suggest to stay away from Sableye until there's a better way to incorporate the Pokemon into matches.

[@elidiaz9980]

I played one dragapult game and now I can’t play anything else he’s so good I love playing center with him it’s amazing average 14-20 kills a game

[@Mr.RyanHernandez]

Your mid point question, ive been sleeping on Gardevoir. Just got them last night and oh man, ive won 5 out of 6 soloQ so far. My one loss was the first match i played with them 😏

[@brunoibc]

Everybody is competitive. The difference from the States to other countries is that you’re have more financial support.

[@bruskydu]

Bro busy wild pokemon farming and talkinv while his team is fighting for Regileki.

[@smalls4325]

Yee

[@slipskolt7300]

I personally feel like Hyper Beam has been underrated for a while mow. I see so many people using outrage an like, I get it, but Hyper Beam has always felt so much better for me lol

[@JoeyCilfone]

Honestly I think it's a preference. I like d dance outrage but some like hyper beam it also is very dependent on the comps to be honest same thoughts I have on dragopult.

[@sadancorrea6335]

it's a fun build, but the lack of range and the long animations from sideways dragon dance and auto attack keeps me really far from the build

[@Frostfire26]

Personally, my favorite dragonite build is hyper beam extreme speed 🗿

[@Drop0sauce]

It does such high damage shields can only help so much d nite and dark bear will be top picks for tournaments this year

[@blazebusgaming832]

I personally prefer rapid fire scarf over muscle band to garuntee more crits since dragon dance dragonite is all about abusing the basic attack

[@GroutMobile]

Most defenders I have pretty ranked pretty low because they just seem pointless when your team is bad

[@decidueyesshackle1797]

Try outrage and dragondance with scope razor and attack weight along with x attack you won't regret it

[@krazgoose]

It’s ironic how people just easily jump on wagons

[@Jayden-dk1vz]

Man! I wish you could still get that dragonite skin.

[@LindseyBiggs-g5s]

i was wondering what is the best way to get coins in pokemon unite?

[@silvertepig5185]

Greninja was so extra for no reason with all those pings

[@jyuuken67]

I've been saying he's not been bad since the buffs lol

[@MirRobinson-kw9le]

for a while i was sleeping on gengar

[@chuganoga1908]

I keep telling you guys yall sleeping on drago

[@jared01c]

I played Tsareena for the first time this week again since early 2023 and it was such good fun. I need to get used to stacking as I don't usually stack, but I was hitting up to 98k with it. Hopefully, I'll get more used to it again with more practice

[@riyuugin]

I likes Dank Pulse/Ancient Power, I just lowkey like it because the Unhindered buff it gives. I could be bait and then retreat. But skills that picks me up like Buzzwole's overpower and Mimikyu's unite easily counter it. AND your own base jumper. I do know why, but they need to fixed it not to cancel hold moves. Pokemon moves maybe acceptable, I understand. But your own field betray you? Maybe it could be a trouble on Miraidon's Unite later?

[@tourtvhd]

Oh god! Please don't. Hyperbeam Dragonites in soloq are just a pain. Please don't influence them hahaha

[@someone999555]

A build i undervalue? 2 come to mind instantly, at least when it comes to tournament usage: its not used a lot, but every time spin delphox sees use im surprised by how much work it puts in. And probably the bigger build i heavily slept on was yawn lax(hah, unintended pun, im so funny), watching some of the lax play with yawn at the highest level opened my eyes big time to how much work that move can do. For the longest time, i was a block believer.

[@ledrew2370]

People sleep on dark bear. One of the best secures and assassin moves with his unite. Can dive back line reliably like a speedster, but has all rounder bulk and a top 3-5 secure move in the game.

[@djjjjjd]

This thing has been slept on for a good 3 or so seasons now. You crit people to death, and if you don't then you delete them with a Hyper Beam, plus you take every objective. I prefer scarf over razor claw personally, and even though it's not great right now, I still like full heal for securing things.

[@JonahDail]

I think i definitely undervalued Espeon such a great Pick in competitive but there are also so many good attackers that i forget about it.

[@Runmindrun]

I undervalued umbreon.

[@hobocat_]

I've always played hyper beam cause outrage takes no skills imo

[@AloofBidoof]

I love seeing the delay between when vids are recorded and when they get uploaded. At the end he said all we knew about future mons was that miraidon was coming, but he already has multiple falinks vids out lol

[@ZeMonkeman-8]

imo,luminosity winning again wouldn't be surprising at this point

[@manougminassian1555]

I was gonna say dragonite looks pretty good in the meta but this video takes care of that

[@pallygoat7150]

A pokemon I've undervalued would be either Cinderace or Greninja. Im not a big fan of either, but playing them for achievements or having a good player on them can actually be game-changing. Most people who play these characters feel like new players & dont fully realize whats going on and not the best feel seeing one on your team, but tbh they can be pretty good.

[@MOST-CONFIDENT]

Cinderace and greninja can be amazing though cinderace is very dependent on his team greninja isn't too dependent and the moves do alot of kiting with a powerful unite one mon I sleep on is a9 the cc that thing provides is just depressing to go up against especially if its a9 and slowbro bieng your lane enemies

[@Coyote305]

I still yet have to try Dragonite 👍🏽

[@josephmangano3261]

LMAO. Told you.

[@spragels]

the laughing hurts

[@Baljetfox]

Why is it that when I test full CDR dragonite on practice mode I can get infinite full stack dragon dance, but once I go to ranked it doesn't work? Ranked and practice have different stats?

[@booskidoo9169]

Because real opponents avoid getting attacked

[@Baljetfox]

@@booskidoo9169 seems you don't understand, what I mean, there used to be a thing before CDR got nerfed that of you build full CDR and grabbed blue buff your cool down for dragon dance would come back before the timer would run out, so you had it permanently no matter if you don't attack anybody.

[@Belesprit656]

I never understood why Dragonite is used so much in tournaments, it feels okay but not great. Pokémon I undervalued? Probably all of them, back before I understood the game I thought Mew was terrible and that was before it got nerfed.

[@concordiaa]

It has very solid secure in hyper beam, but it has to be fully charged. I do admit, it can be a little tedious at times.

[@kamx1]

Aren't you contradicting yourself now? You typically say to Lean into strength... magikarp is not the stronger lane typically

[@eduardoyyxy]

Magikarp is an exception. It needs either an assist or a KO to evolve easier and it is way harder to kill someone when jungler is in lane.

[@spragels]

yeah usually I'd say something like this but it gives your team a huge power spike if you can support them

[@rewind_kitsune]

My guy, Jake literally explained it at 0:43

[@kamx1]

@@rewind_kitsune I know how magikarp evolves, that's not what I'm saying

[@elescorpion2775]

You can gain one of the best laners if it gets an early KO. It could evolve at the 8 minute mark and Gyarados can one man lane most times in ranked, with a good user.

[@uWAVES]

I just started playing this recently and it's been pretty fun

[@superdubdub]

There is zero shot Team YT wins Worlds this year. Doesn’t matter how good they are technically. Their attitudes and behaviors in game are a joke, and the rapport/camaraderie is toxic

[@Skeletonpie.]

damn bro that's crazy

[@Skeletonpie.]

Literally hating for no reason

[@superdubdub]

Spragels was talking about teams he thinks can win worlds. I’m not hating for no reason, this was discussed in the video

[@superdubdub]

They are all better players than me; but they are not good teammates and that is why they always fall short

[@catzass69]

I replied a tweet of yours with this build, I hope I was partial inspiration 😂 I have a 79% win rate w it
