No One Uses Hitmontop, But It Destroys Top Threats

[@diogenesenuts]

I think my favorite part about these vids is that every team has dudes from past videos on em, and you can get a sense of how they continue to perform in different sets and whatnot

[@papathicctm6465]

The Haydennverse

[@blake..-]

I like that it gives hints for the upcoming videos haha

[@keags2010]

Been thinking the same thing! I’m loving it

[@Spookiskellington]

Yuhhh

[@BigProtein2]

Yea i think about that all the time lol. He dont one and done the feature mons.

[@WiserPluto]

For some reason Hitmontop having Intimidate is just so funny, like "oh no its a funny little spinny guy RUN".

[@Haydunn]

He SHARP yeowch

[@WiserPluto]

@@Haydunn yeah good point, his head would hurt like a lego if you stepped on it :)

[@orcinusrex]

If I see a guy just doing Capoeira in the middle of my neighborhood I'd avoid him too

[@stefankroon4615]

Why? Capoeira is so inefficiënt you'd have more to fear from a dude with his hands in his pockets.

[@MrRuePine]

​@@stefankroon4615 Not if it's a little capoeira dude with a secret technique to turn himself upside down and start spinning around after swinging.

[@Mr.Cynical]

"Bullet Punch" "Kicks the opponent swiftly." Oh, you just HAD to be different, Hitmontop. 🙄

[@Atraxtracker]

Bullet kick i guess

[@-libertyprimev1-902]

"Magic Punch!" 💥🦵 "...That was kick." "That's what makes it Magic!"

[@aidanhogan-thomas1797]

Hitmontop has been doing his awkward dance for as many generations as he was depicted on his head. They didn't even give him a unique animation for RAPID SPIN. Blastoise gets hydropump, justice for hitmontop.

[@yay842]

Billion dollar company BTW

[@Fredysaurus]

The dance he performs is called the xinga, it's from capoeira and is the essential "stance" of it. I really like the reference, although you can argue it would have fit better on hitmonlee as he's more kick based. Still sick tho

[@stefankroon4615]

Hitmonlee is based on Tae Kwon Do, so putting him in Xinga stance would be beyond weird. Capoeira is probably the most 'spinny' martial art (the limitations put on it by the Brazillian colonizers forced it to be very inefficiënt and honestly ineffective.) so it makes sense to slap it on hitmontop, but a sort of constant inverted ballet pirrhouette would've fit it much better.

[@MrRuePine]

​@@stefankroon4615 No, I thought it was invented by the slaves to break free FROM the colonizers. No wonder there would be "limitations".

[@stefankroon4615]

They never broke free. Capoeira is so poor a fighting style the average bar brawler is more dangerous. Capoeira is a dance that can sort of double as a fighting style. Not a good one, though. You ever see capoeira do good at mixed martial arts tournaments? Yeah, me neither.

[@DaddyDeGrand]

Hitmontop is called "Capoeira" in german, so him doing the Jinga is only perfect.

[@Qbe_Root]

Same in French!

[@Sungura_Kaiser]

That's is original name in Japanese, but spelled different.

[@Andreecals]

Kapoera, in the original =)

[@mintikkuma]

wait u just blew my mind

[@SomeYTUserNothingMore]

​​@@Sungura_Kaiser "Kapoerer". Sounds like a Japanese trying to say "capoeirista", but doesn't know the word for people who are do capoeira are specifically "capoeirista".

[@jonathonriley6866]

My man is just tearing up ubers with the most random mons

[@hectorneros7171]

It's insane but hilarious

[@ShinyHunterSolyu]

Well dang, didn’t expect a Flutter Mane to get Raw dogged so hilariously

[@pmahcgop2.0]

this is definitely a way to say “flutter mane was knocked out”

[@injusticeanywherethreatens4810]

*...or knocked up...*

[@pmahcgop2.0]

@injusticeanywherethreatens4810 flutter mane cannot get pregnant bc they definitely have they/them prns

[@pokemagi1018]

Haydunn taught me how to appreciate and have fun with basically any pokemon.

[@9flashfreeze]

12:30 who wins? big fish or fancy fish 💅

[@a.n.s.l0280]

I like hitmontop's animation. This dance is a reference to the capoeira wich is the fighting style that he is based on! A nice representation on the Brazilian cuture. Sorry for any misspelling englsh is my second laguage.

[@Octorocker743]

As a bboy, I’ve always had a soft spot for Hitmontop. Always good to see our capoeira headspinner punching fairy ghosts

[@Crestfallen_Warrior]

What's a bboy?

[@balduccirichard]

@@Crestfallen_Warrior a break dancer

[@JeeliBeeli]

Just want to say I found you about a week ago, subbed, and have been binging and watching you every day since. You exemplify the parts of Pokemon that I love, finding niche and unknown strategies that make lesser used pokemon shine, or give a different take on something we know.

[@anthonyrebuffo9509]

Triple kick shoul be equal in power as triple axel

[@serge2cool]

If not stronger considering Hitmontops mid-tier Atk/Spe and it being his exclusive move (should keep it that way)

[@L_the_II]

Bro finally has hazards control

[@Mena-Frog]

Hitmontop's dance has been my favorite, only 2nd to Mr. Rime. So always glad to see this jiggin lil guy :D

[@Vansaur3]

Hitmontop's idle animation was it on its head in Pokemon Colosseum which looked both silly and awesome at the same time, but for some reason they decided to flip it over later on. One of those weird design choices like taking away Typhosion's fire for a while.

[@diamonddeity]

3:43 bro thought we didn’t notice he said “Adolf”

[@GorillaKC.]

I literally just started watching your channel yesterday and I can’t stop watching it and the videos also helps me out with my own sort of setup so whenever I use the Pokémon you use I usually change it a bit to not have it completely the same but to also make it a bit harder for me because I have recently got into battles and made some teams and would maybe want to go against you just for fun because I know I would lose but I love your content keep up the good work ❤

[@MrRuePine]

The whole reason to why he doesn't spin anymore was to emphasize the capoeira part of his name "Kapoerer", in Japan, with a new animation where he does the ginga dance, step one of the capoeira martial art. I only wish its Triple Kick signature move was animated with him standing upside down, I think it's more effective that way. But on the other hand it would be probably too fast.

[@SuperSonic3557]

2:21 the axe looks like it split garganacl in half 😂😂

[@SkarEspinoza]

MY MAN! Love your vids, that inspired me to start playing Pokemon battles on Violet, and I fought against you yesterday!! Did you like my Charizard the Unrivaled with Belly Drum?

[@kelseykent1196]

I think they said the reason for hitmontop not spinning on its head is because if you terastalize it then the crystal on its head would look awkward.

[@ALittleMessi]

Counterpoint every Tera looks hella awkward

[@alittlebitd3ad]

Then they should have it spinning on its head for the match and flip over like it's idle animation is now for the tera

[@SomeYTUserNothingMore]

You could Terastalize its tail then…? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[@DL-SUFF]

YEEEEES HITMONTOP! Hitmontop is my all time favorite pokémon. I'm glad someone finally shows him some love!

[@karlcollins9727]

The support is crazy because your vids are crazy good 🙏

[@JC-ql1bq]

Thank you for doing a video on Hitmontop! My absolute favorite mon! You rock Beyblade 🤘🏼

[@fabumoose3215]

I always name my Hitmontop Rich Simmons after our favorite workout instructor. Just look at that idle animation.

I just started watching/ subbed to you today, and you have helped me build Pokémon I had no idea what to do with.

[@Roguerebel297]

I agree, he needs to spin like 80% more!

[@mathiaszehnder7594]

I love Hitmontop! Is my top boy on Showdown since day 1, with Technician Mach Punch, rapid spin, bulldoze (90 BP!) and triple Axel. With an assault vest, just Dragapult's nightmare!

I almost choked on my food when I heard Hayden call Grimmsnarl’s waist as snatched

[@WiserPluto]

wait is the title pun intended? "destroys TOP threats"

[@Cthulhunoms]

Would love to see some Focus Punch action! Iron Fist or not just getting an opponent to switch into it or surprising them behind a sub would be hilarious to watch!

[@servine1212]

Godly Gift Technitop With Kyurem Bs attack stat is soo good. U can brute force most walls (Like Clodsire and Alomomola with Triple axel and Close Combat respectively) and you can threaten offensive mons with fakeout+mach punch. Ghost types really cant take a triple axel and gholdengo is the best answer.

[@kurosuna]

I've always liked Ariados, sadly it's usually just a stickyweb suicide lead, although I think it has good attack, access to Fell Stinger and sucker punch which if it ever managed to benefit from it, could be interesting

[@michaelcordeiro12]

everyone talks about hitmontop, no one talks about hitmonbottom

[@strataggamer5154]

The main issue i see with hitmontop's idle animation being it spinning on its head is that what will happen when it go TERA

[@yavical]

joint the raticate would be proud of the squanch lol sitting in haydunns pc for like 10 years holding his flame orb

[@Supa262]

Bae it’s TIME!!…Haydunn just dropped another movie!!

[@trombonefellow]

I appreciate the capoeira idle at least, but it would be nice to see him throw in some head spins

[@RoomCat101]

[@Istar47]

I appreciate that the battles ended in the exact same way.

[@doombunnyjack6714]

I've been having fun with Magician Delphox running Red Card to force out boosters, or White Herb/Overheat. Both clear the item slot for item stealing shenanigans. You shoild try it out.

[@emiliohernandez7214]

Another really fun battle! Is there anyway you can try to make Ampharos work? He's one of my all time favorites

[@NobodyDungeons]

If they gave it belly drum it could be a massive offensive threat.

[@bobjob2514]

Would the secret terastal base power boost work on triple kick - effectively making it base power 180?

[@temanmiller1837]

A super luck Absol with scope lens would be lit. Maybe you could set it up with tailwind / sticky webs and have it sweep?

[@Regeor]

These kinds of videos show that with good team synergy, even the most useless Mons can win.

[@ALittleMessi]

Woah useless? Did you see the hitmontop wreck flutter?

[@Regeor]

@@ALittleMessi Ok useless was the wrong word. I meant “seemingly inferior to commonly used Mons”

"destroys TOP threats"

[@90percentzebra]

Hayden if you type カポエラー　新宝島 and click the top vid (should be 8M views), I guarantee you will enjoy how the Japanese community have been enjoying with the Hitmontop animation as if he's vibing to a popular jpop song.

[@ashishmagar3407]

I know it's crazy and different from what you usually do, but would you do a contrary team?

[@AzzyWolf247]

What is hitmontop's ivs?

[@nolongeraperson]

Imagine if you had predicted the Mortal Spin and Tera'd. They might have rage quit. 😂

[@johnleemanas5272]

My fav video of all time🎉🎉🎉

[@gabrielsapiendominguez5951]

Fingerless hitmontop never had noticed 😮 haha

Greninja isn't exactly weak but nobody uses Water Shuriken, so it'd be nice to see on the channel. Maybe with loaded dice?

yaay another video from Haydunn

[@sparrowclarinet01]

Do either huntail or gorebyss have any potential? Would love to see them used somewhat viably because they are super forgotten about little fellas!

[@Haydunn]

They do! But not in the game sadly

[@noahward7228]

Another banger from haydunn

[@twotamatos]

I do like him if I could buff him I’d give it contrary, he should have stab super power, drain punch, darkest Lariat for the top spin animation and baton pass he wouldn’t even be that OP but just a great team member I think he’s just pretty lackluster without a good recovery move and his low HP his defenses r good enough if u can get em rolling with a close combat or super power with contrary I think he would be a really sick Pokémon but where it stands if we’re not making hack mons I get why people don’t use him that shiny is so cool gotta love Dr.Dredial

[@Chris-zv9om]

A hazard team that uses roar or whirlwind to force switch the other persons team into toxic spikes and stealth rocks for free damage

[@nolongeraperson]

Boooooooring and been over done.

[@454ffv]

watching this video made me realize the reason they dont have hitmontop's animation on his head is bc when it tera's the tera hat needs to be on his head

[@jeffwhite1334]

I’d love to see a Snorlax video. Snorlax and Psyduck are my favorite pokemon. ❤

If I battled you I’d go in to counter sacrifice rocks lead haha

[@kennyjohnson26]

Could you do an electro ball team? I don't play Pokémon often and during my playthrough of scarlet and violet I tried to craft an Ampharos electro ball team that was okay with trailblaze and thunder wave. It was good enough to beat the npcs but I dont think it would fair against real players and I would love to see what a optimal electro ball team is if there is one

[@kennyjohnson26]

I was thinking terra water Killowatrell tailwind volt absorb. Or there are some shananagins with Ampharo's plus ability, klinklang gear up, and maybe an electric terrain sticky web Galvantula but you might as well not use electro ball then

[@Lee-pf9nb]

Maybe try out gumshoos it has 3 pretty good abilities to choose from

[@JoobMasterify]

I might be asking for the impossible here, but... Squawkabilly?
