[@liamwhittaker8691]

Duraludon feels like the best Dragon type in general; counters both main weaknesses in Ice & Fairy

[@VeyloYT]

Dragon/Steel is one of the best types in the game, and Duraludon has some great moves so its definitely one of the best! Thanks for commenting, welcome to the channel😁

[@edulucifer]

Baxcalibur wont actually be able to dragon dance because assault vest doesnt let you use non damaging moves

[@VeyloYT]

I can’t believe I made that mistake 😂. What moves would you have given it?

[@xod8870]

​I think baxcalibur should be the attacking Mon that just focuses on barraging the player with hits, so I'd personally have it have loaded dice with scale shot as a stab, icicle spear as a stab, and it'll showcase the coolness of multi hit moves while of course still having glaive rush and iron head, it might sound too op but as a last gym I think it's fair as sort of a final challenge before the league

[@aspect9555]

@@VeyloYT i would've given it a loaded dice and change icicle crash to icicle spear, making for a hit that deals 100-125 ice damage before both stab and other factors.

[@DearSis]

Bruh went from a balanced 1st gym to impossible levels with gym 2! Turtanator AND Gabite? Even with a water starter nobody is beating that gym without over leveling. Not to mention ice and dragon types typically aren’t found til late game. So the player is screwed

[@VeyloYT]

Yeah fair enough, for a harder game I’d say the player would be fine with what I gave the gyms, but of course they could be scaled back a bit in terms of movesets and items for beginner players. What do you think of that? 🤔

[@-BenGaming-]

No.

[@-BenGaming-]

Your just bad at the game if you have to over level to beat a simple gym leader like it’s really not that hard you just need to get a good Pokémon and good tms that are easily found throughout the game. Plus you have the largest advantage over every gym leader: you know what type they use

[@DearSis]

@@-BenGaming- except gym leaders typically don’t use meta movesets or abilities like Veylo is suggesting. And ice and dragon type pokemon typically aren’t found til late game. You have no counter for them. Not to mention the BST of dragon types are typically higher than most 1st stage mons. But yeah continue to be a cunt because I brought up slight criticism

[@Rianno444]

​@@-BenGaming- chill out bro

[@Cwyatt92]

That last team needs to be in an official Pokémon game. But not as the eighth gym. It needs to be an optional gym, located far off the map, but accessible anytime. Oh, and all of them in the mid to high 90s with the ace as a level 100 Dragonite.

[@VeyloYT]

Yeah that would be awesome, I totally agree. Maybe the actual eighth gym is toned down to around lvl 55, then the optional battle is absolutely maxed out at lvl 95+. Great idea, thanks for commenting and welcome to the channel! 😁

[@head-clanka69]

Battle Tower type beat

[@vingreninja]

Pretty unique idea. Goes to show the potential Pokemon has if they integrate elements from all their games thus far into one rather than isolating them to their native games. Amazing music choices, I'm glad ur giving later gen music a shot as well, they slap.

[@VeyloYT]

Thanks man, and yeah you bet those newer soundtracks are fire so I had to add a couple in there haha

[@sebasteanguerra7061]

A missed opportunity was Archaludon with Stamina and leftovers. Instead of Swords Dance replace it with Body Press. Body press uses the defense stat to do damage. With an increasing defense every time Archaludon takes damage, Body Press will deal huge damage.

[@VeyloYT]

For sure, I considered that as an option and I guess that may have been a better move to give it! Thanks for the suggestion and welcome to the channel 😁

[@kbowman772]

Ah, so we're going to continue the tradition of hacking Pokemon for the AI as there's no way that Hydreigon and Dragapult are legal levels by the eighth gym.

[@ryanchung8892]

This was an awesome video! Would love to see a similar one for Normal Types, since they're usually always an early game gym leader.

[@VeyloYT]

Thank you! I’ll consider making a normal type video next😁

[@sergioturrado9941]

The most broken dragon team is possibly shed tail cyclizar + dual screens willow pult + set up threats like dd dnite, sd scale shot bax or nasty plot naganadel. Should probably include scarf fishious rend dracovish and for fairies maybe specs adaptability dragalge, av archaludon or goodra hisui.

[@VeyloYT]

Yeah that would be absolutely broken haha, thanks for commenting and welcome to the channel! 😁

[@imp4209]

As a singles player I can tell you that liechi Berry flapple will never get used because 1. Choice hustle is superior 2. If you want to spam acrobatics use hawlucha

[@VeyloYT]

I was waiting for a comment like this to verify if I’d found a new strat 😂😂

[@markzman2970]

I like the final team, however just for the sake of type coverage i would probably swap Dragonite or Salamance for a sniper ability Kingdra or Hisuian Goodra just to add an extra type rather than having two dragon/flying types (which are both great obviously lol).

[@VeyloYT]

Yeah, I was considering that and I think Hisuian Goodra would have been better to deal with ice types. If I remade the team that’s a great change to make! Thanks for commenting and welcome to the channel 😁

[@markzman2970]

YO IM ONLY TWO GYMS IN BUT THIS IS REALLY COOL AND CREATIVE ESPO W THE ITEMS AND I NEVER DEEPED THE COOL VARIETY U CAN HAVE

[@VeyloYT]

That’s the beauty of Pokemon, there’s so much that gamefreak could do with the trainers and stories that we never get to see! Did you enjoy the rest of the video? 😄

[@daviderizzo08]

now we need someone to mod a game and create this gyms

[@VeyloYT]

For real that would be sick

[@JohnPaulDuffy-x3r]

I think instead of two of the middle stage mons in the 4th gym it should be replaced with single staged mons. Bc it seems rn that the third gym is stronger.

[@VeyloYT]

For sure, I think those could kind of be interchangeable since they are quite similar in difficulty depending on the style of the gym leader that uses the team. Thanks for your comment, welcome to the channel! 😁

[@kungfuzing1018]

I like the usage of Rivalry Axew, specifically because of the potential of punishing players who only want to use their starter. It acts as an immediate incentive to get more team members since the starter is almost always male.

[@VeyloYT]

Wow I can’t believe I didn’t think of that when I made the video, I was just thinking it was Axew’s better ability but it actually made my point about being fair to all starters even more viable! Thanks for pointing that out, welcome to the channel😁

[@juanfelipehernandezcortes4656]

The last team is my favorite but upon further analysis I realized that it has serious problems with the fairies and the ice type, being Baxcalibur the only one that could really stand up to them

[@VeyloYT]

That’s a good point, I tried to give some coverage moves to each Pokémon but I think it’s a good way to still give the player a chance in that final gym battle since it is going to be an extremely hard match already with such strong team members. What would you switch on the team? Thanks for commenting, welcome to the channel 😁

[@kaiyokun]

personally i would have light clay + dual screens along with u-turn and draco meteor on dragapult since we do have some hard hitting setup mons on the team but i understand that it would ramp up the gym's difficulty as well

[@VeyloYT]

That’s not a bad idea, that would have been a better setup Pokemon than Hydreigon maybe. But yeah like you said it might be too difficult if we setup the screens at the start of the battle😂

[@AdolfRizzler69791]

decent teams overall i think but 2nd gym makes the water starter too comfy being neutral to all 3 pokemon and gym 6 got 4 weaknesses to the fighting type so there is still some work to do

[@VeyloYT]

Fair enough, and wow that’s a huge mistake I didn’t even consider!!! Thanks for commenting 😁

[@DavidKoryta]

Great job. Gym 2 would be a major obstacle. But you've made a minor mistake. Baxcalibur can't have AV + Dragon dance. I'd recommend priority Ice shard instead of D Dance.

[@VeyloYT]

Thank you for the support! Yep I’ve already received so many comments about that mistake I can’t believe I made 😂. Good choice though, ice shard would be my revised version for sure

[@platinumskink478]

Yeah, definitely feeling like you're making these a bit too strong, hah. I'm not sure the player will be ready to take on a Turtonator at Gym 2. The final team is literally six pseudo-legendaries with a higher base-stat total than any champion.

[@VeyloYT]

For sure lol, I wanted to make the teams perfect for what most more advanced players would want to see, but they could definitely be dialled back in terms of movesets and of course the AI won’t be as good in actual games depending on how much exp the player has in the actual game. Thanks for commenting, welcome to the channel! 😁

[@og_3dm]

Amazing video brother ❤️

[@VeyloYT]

Thanks for coming back to the channel 3dm, you’re the ultimate OG!

[@yee2854]

like the video, but isn’t having lum berry and marvel scale counter intuitive?

[@VeyloYT]

Wow I can’t believe I did that, nice catch lol. Thanks a lot for the support on the video, welcome to the channel! 😁

[@Shalakor]

Nah, everyone know overkill is best. That's why the strongest combo possible is Baton Passing Magnet Rise to a Fan Rotom holding an Air Balloon.

[@Jayson_Tatum]

I think the Gym 3 Drampa should hold the Chople berry. Fighting types may be brought at this stage in the game, and the sitrus is counterintuitive with its ability.

[@VeyloYT]

Luckily berserk increases its special attack stat by one stage and remains boosted after the sitrus berry restores health, so I had it on there for Drampa to get the most out of its ability. I do like your idea though and that would be my second choice of item for Drampa. Thanks for commenting and welcome to the channel! 😁

[@thirdegree101]

My 6 Pokémon team would be: Cyclizar Dragalge Flygon Tyrantrum Haxorus Mega Salamence Salamence was always my favorite mon, ever since I first laid eyes on it when I battled Drake in Sapphire when I was a kid, and Mega Evolution is my favorite mechanic that I feel was underutilized. I made it so that it's the only pseudo to really emphasize it as the team ace.

[@VeyloYT]

That’s an awesome choice of Pokemon for a dragon team, thanks for commenting and welcome to the channel! 😁

[@kayrius]

I'd love to see that 8th gym ace dragonite meeting a togekiss.

[@Cute_Papya]

Man gives bax an assault vest then runs dragon dance on it 😂

[@VeyloYT]

lol huge mistake 💀💀💀

[@ethanmatthewapostol881]

Personally, I would swap Baxcalibir with Hydrapple. I prefer to view Baxcalibur as a Champion type of pokemon considering how even though pseudo legendaries made an appearance in vgc, they almost never utilize their dragon moves and typings. Dragonite was the extreme speed demon, Kingdra was swift swim hydro pump, Im not sure for salamence since I havent seen it in action, Garchomp was earthquake, Hydreigon was almost anything but dragon, Goodra never got in, Kommo-o was mostly drain punching speed demon, dragapult was mostly pivoting around. But Baxcalibur was a different story because out of all dragons, it really was the only one to be viable for using actual dragon moves and not other moves that has different typing

[@VeyloYT]

That’s a great point, thank you for commenting! 😁

[@felipefigueiredo5698]

Baxcalibur can't use dragon dance while having the assault vest.

[@protopawn]

Dude that’s not an 8th gym leader, that’s a Champion team! The Hydreigon/Dragapult is going to blow the level curve out of water. Swap it with Haxorus and a Kingdra. They are still plenty strong and allow the remaining 4 to shine as the major threat of the team. 6 pseudo’s are way to much for an 8th gym. What do you bring to that? A team of all Ice&Fairy types?

[@JoeyMurphy-rn6jv]

Since when do gym leaders use held items? These are way more like romhack gyms than anything you'd find in a vanilla game

[@dragnking327]

Might've been mentioned already, but Venoshock could be a better move than Sludge Bomb on the Dragalge

[@VeyloYT]

No it hasn’t been mentioned but now that you say that, I wish I thought of that! Since Dragalge has toxic that makes a lot more sense. Thanks a lot for commenting, welcome to the channel! 😁
