Pokemon Showdown With the Silliest Team that actually Works

Pokemon allowing me to make a team of 3 Donphan and 3 Volcarona to terrorise the Pokemon Showdown OU ladder was a mistake
Follow me on Twitter: / kingtheluck

[@entothechesnautknight1762]

Ahh, yes, the three donphans: -Landorus tusk -Average tusk -and Below-Average Tusk And the three Volcaronas: -Match-up Moth -Match-up Moth 2: Electric Boogaloo -and Actually-A-Larvesta

[@byzantine5761]

why do i understand all of these clearly

[@amxterxsu138]

call that largevesta

[@kittgeekazaru5126]

They saw you climbing ladder and banned the strategy

just make it in ubers

There is also a variant with Iron Valiant, Gallade, and Gardevoir

this sure aged well after the random Volcarona quickban

[@viennaawesome6924]

Random? Nah that mon was crazy broken

[@Pikana]

Right? Showdown has been absolutely mental with their excessive bans lately.

I feel for the dude playing the focus sash Meowscarada that got burned 😂

[@jazzercise300]

Glad to hear someone else doesn't think Volc is OP. Tera and boots made it wayyyy more powerful but it's hp and Def are low enough to play around it. Maybe I'm just lying to myself because I want Volc back in OU 😢 Tera grass Volc w giga drain was the shitttttt. Started playing comp very casually in gen 5 and been using essential the same Volc moveset and EV spread for a decade now lmao Best bug type forsure.

[@KingTheLuck]

Volc is great! It probably maybe deserved the ban with how tera is now, but I'm personally hoping for open tera so the mechanic can be more balanced and we can get some unbans

[@jazzercise300]

@@KingTheLuck yea I love Tera (didn't like dynamax, z moves or even megas tbh) but we need Tera preview for all formats it's legal in

[@jordanbugni8931]

​@@jazzercise300honestly tra just makes so many Pokemon play the same.

[@quingaming8084]

Volc is definitely one of the better quiver dancers but they ain't broken like a certain ghost steel type

[@Thund3rDrag0n12]

​@@quingaming8084You're on crack if you think Gholdengo's broken, much less more broken than Volc

[@michael_betts]

4:56 ... Does that donphan say l25... That was my live reaction. Level 25 for fear because that's when it evolves.

I knew exactly what it was, because I’ve done it before

[@jojihiggins3873]

This is truly impeccable content.

[@cestariviere]

Not that end- They really addressed the elephant in the room getting rid of the moth, 😭💫 aw, how they gonna climb her with the Ubers instead of ban Quiver Dance? Anyway, amazing idea! maybe trying with Ga(llade)rdevoir, like someone have already said, would be a thing ksksk

[@somebodyuknow2507]

We generally try to avoid banning moves unless there are multiple abusers of the move in OU - Volcarona was the only OU quiver dancer. The reason is that it comes across as making rules for a single Pokémon just to keep it in OU - think of little Timmy who wants to use Kyogre in OU and says it would be balanced if it can’t use water moves. He’s right, but we don’t make such specific rules that only apply to 1 Mon just to have it in OU

[@necrobonesgaming2424]

[@vanjagalovic3621]

Volcarona in UBERs is considered completely unviable, a complete shitmon. It's likely not seeing any play unless the OU council decides to nerf tera in some way.

I feel like I'm on a very niche part of KZbin, and I'm surprised at your production quality relative to your size

[@KingTheLuck]

Thank you that's so nice! With a bit of luck and some consistency I should hopefully be able to grow the channel eventually, I think part of that is actually remembering to ask people to subscribe in the video I'm really bad for that 😅

[@DoABarrelRol1l]

Not sure what his slim profile has to do with production quality …is there a correlation between mass and effort? (just joking but the way you phrased it made me chuckle)

[@pinguludd6586]

should've absolutely put sub on that horrible creature so it could completely avoid status and scout out moves and stall for misses or even sucker punches
