Pokemon Wifi Battle - 21 - vs. KwandaoRen66 (NU) (Heart Gold/Soul Silver)

[@pbryno]

I have always and forever will enjoy your pokemon commentaries i have learned alot...

[@WhisperinEye604]

i have no idea what your talking about but you sound so intelligent that it makes it that more entertaining. plus you remind me of the days where i use to play pokemon red/blue/yellow. Keep it up man!

[@KorewaKosmo]

Wtf that vileplume has insane dmg

[@dipheadcam]

Yeah

[@Edge0fPain]

Tiers. NU - Never used UU - Under used BL - (Borderline) ban list for UU OU - Overused Uber - Ban list for OU There is also LC, which is "little cup" for pokemon that aren't fully evolved.

[@modware2]

I'm one of BT's COD video fans but I somehow really enjoy any video he put's up. I'm starting to understand the basics of the game and I really enjoy how BT showcases different combination's and sweeper set's etc. Really good video Anthony.

[@BrandonsRandoms]

What does (NU) stand for??

[@revinanthonydagcuta4533]

Jayce Amumu NU means Never Used

[@ScoutingTacos]

@BlameTruth Thanks! I've never played pokemon before in my life, but this all seems really cool.

[@chargersrule2156]

Best series i have ever watched!

[@Sunraku004]

Continue with the 4th gen battles!! Although i still need to see Black and White in action i enjoy watching you battle. I'm also getting ready for wifi battles in Heartgold/Soulsilver and would love to battle you sometime :)

[@Musicon14]

Battles from you are always awesome!

[@Juggleboy]

@Rep6794 because this is an NU match. there are different tiers for pokemon, depending on how powerful they are. the 3 main ones are OU, UU, and NU. OU is the top tier, and allows OU, and all of the ones below it. then there is UU, which allows just UU pokemon and the ones below it. then there is NU which just allows NU pokemon and below. dragonite is OU so he is not allowed in NU matches.

[@K1DH3ART]

Heck yeah I do! I love any battles you put up.

[@xSlim77]

I dont even play pokemon I just watch these videos because BT is a great commentator

[@Church209]

@BlameTruth You should do a road to 100 series that shows how you train your battle pokemon. You don't have to show every single battle, but show us the stages you go through and what you find is the best/fastest way to train them

[@MrEd92]

@mastermclovin0 Yeah, that's correct. Regular poison is typically considered to be a relatively useless status since it doesn't have a secondary effect that reduces stats nor does its damage progressively increase like toxic poison.

[@bobobocrazy]

Yes when black/white come out please keep posting the battles man great stuff and good times keep it up

[@goldrules2]

Hey Anthony, Lovin' the pokemon you got going on here. Also, I would love for you to continue with 4th gen as long as you can :D

[@LordofBays]

You're one of the few Pokemon commentators I can stand (the rest are... Not quite as eloquent), so while Gen IV is always good, I'd like to see Gen V as well.

[@ThatFloridaGuy1]

lol when I saw the vileplume at the start I was like wtf vileplume...then I saw the end haha

[@GearsofWumbology]

Is there some kind of site that has a tier list of all the pokemon, as well as strategies, and guides for beginners on how to get competitive in Pokemon? As I'm going to want to try being competitive when Black/White come out, as I never got into it before.

[@ScoutingTacos]

BT: You should make a video explaining the basics of pokemon for those of us who don't play. Honestly, these pokemon videos are by far some of the most entertaining videos being put up now, but I don't understand what a lot of the stuff you're saying means. For instance, what is "scarfed?"

[@llamasrockmore]

why do i like these vids so much? i havent played pokemon since i was like 7 lol

[@Style_Dota]

@Callumseven Scarf refers to the item "Choice Scarf". This item boosts a Pokemon's speed by 1.5x its normal speed in exchange for being locked into using a single attack. Scarfed Pokemon are generally either seen as revenge killers or surprises.

[@4321imsocool]

I don't care if your battles are 4th gen or 5th gen. Asking as there are battles from you to watch I'm happy. :)

[@marvincolle]

This series is great.

[@afrokidryder]

Wow that Vileplume went hard, i was looking at that sunny day chlorophyl set one day, and thought of setting up a whole team around it, ESPECIALLY with a fast grass type with good dmg, that was awesome.

[@whiplash308]

Yes sir I definitely want these HG/SS matches! You also need the epic music in the background too!

[@babacoop]

really like these u should do more dual let's plays once your super mario bros. one is finished

[@DevinTheGinger]

Do some 4th and 5th gen battles i love watching these. your getting me back into pokemon and i hope to battle soon aswell

[@TheManerky]

@ARDSdude Bad place to ask, but does something like swords dance lose its effect after something like Freeze or Sleep?

[@TheDuckChris]

Do people use action replay or some such hax for the shiny pokemon? Because it seems there are too many to be legit

[@MasterOfManyMuffins]

Besides new pokemon and new moves, are there like any specific upgrades to the battle system? Im thinking like new rules, or tactics beyong new type combinations.

[@zombies995]

Road to the Elite Four, then Pokémon battles of any generation

[@TheRealSanic]

Is there any sort of guide or FAQ on the meta game of Pokemon, because I've always loved Pokemon but only just learned of the meta game and have no clue about it.

[@DiscoTaco18]

YES. Please continue with these. They are amazing :D

[@Adagioz1]

Keep the battles coming, BT!

[@crotchetycrow]

Hey, BlameTruth, do you think you could do a tutorial on competetive battling? You know, just the basics and tips and whatnot?

[@2averagejoes]

@MrEd92 oohhhh how does he record?

[@mastermclovin0]

@JimJamJuMV 2 types of poison? do you mean like toxic where damage done is doubles every turn and regualr where its a constant?

[@GearsofWumbology]

Is there some kind of site that has a tier list of all the pokemon, as well as strategies, and guides for beginners on how to get competitive in Pokemon? As I'm going to want to try being competitive when Black/White come out, as I never got into it before. Also, how the heck do these guys get so many shiny Pokemon? I mean, in all my time playing Pokemon, I've never even seen one.

[@1tsdumb]

How do you get encore on gardevoir? I've tried breeding a gulpin and ralts together but it won't work.

[@fireisforboy]

How do you record your gameplays? Do you put a camera in front od the ds for pokemon and in front of your TV for other games?

[@erik0tucker]

Prob a n00b question. When you say your pokemon is scarfed, does that mean it has another specialty than its original specialty? Like a grass pokemon have like fire attacks(dunno if that can even happen :p)

[@Scottydontknovv]

Both, mixed in will be awesome, plus some ROTATION BATTLES! =D

[@guardianjaderoberts]

Even though I am getting Black, I am iffy on the game itself. They seem to have tried to hard and in my opinion, possibly made it worse. :l So yes, keep your competitive fourth gen battles coming. I love seeing these in my subscription box. :D

[@SJ-TV]

@Retgery A life orb is a held item that increases the power of all pokemon moves, but at the cost of some HP, basically like it adds recoil to all moves, but they do become noticeably stronger.

[@g0downer15]

hey i got 2 questions, im new to the pokemon games and i was wondering if you can do like a matchmaking like in COD where you just find random players, and my second question is can players from pokemon diamond/pearl vs players from pokemon soulsiver/heart gold? it would be greatly appreciated if you u answer, ty

[@harryk7hk]

Anyone know of any good tutorials for competitive Pokemon? I've only ever played the "adventure" and collecting part of the games. Haven't looked that much into competitive battling.

[@danielbh11]

How much does nature affect stats? I usually try to get a nature that benefits my pokemon the most. My tyranitar is lvl 63 and has an attack of 249, is that good??

[@thinkfast35]

where do you get a device for changing the pokemon level and stuff for competitive battling since i bet most people use something like that.

[@JMC_90]

is there any chance of you doing a tutorial on these competitive battles or is there a tutorial online? I dunno what scarfed and things like that mean.

[@caliden2]

@MIkeDecIsHere Well I had wanted to enter their tutoring program, since I know absolutely nothing about the metagame. Any other way I could do that?

[@caliden2]

Is there some other site that has something like the tutoring program at Smogon? Id like to get into battling, but I know NOTHING about the metagame aside from what you would learn through the single player.

[@ReBornRogue]

I don't even play Pokemon. Still Blame Truth manages to make it interesting.

[@swoosh94]

Im not fussed, I just find these enjoyable from the point of view of not knowing a whole lot about the competitive aspect of battling...

[@rellik26889]

@noah6140127 Life orb is an item that injures the pokemon after each turn, however it increases the atk greatly. Scarfed refers to an item choice scarf which increases the special attack greatly, however it locks the pokemon into the first move used until it switches out

[@Pantsoman]

@BlameTruth Do you own Muk ? Id would be awsum to see... In my opinion I like most the first Pokémons and I would love to see them in your battles ;D

[@McStinky_]

I got a noob question.. What does scarfed or life orb mean..? I played Pokémon casually and with my friends, but never competitively. Thanks

[@stevemcguy]

@GrandAjrator NU stands for "Never Used." It's a tier of Pokemon based on how often they are used in the metagame. (Competitive play.) There are other tiers like Overused (OU), Underused (UU), Not Fully Evolved (NFE) and Uber. Uber are Pokemon that have basically been "banned" from Standard play because they are too powerful for the majority of other Pokemon to stand up to them, or they have some kind of gimmick that is unfair. There is also a Borderline (BL) tier that serves as a sort of limbo.

[@Hexinvir]

I miss these Pokemon battles

[@SuperRedub]

I like the idea of 4th gen matches even after the release of 5th. But seeing some 5th gen battles would be cool to mix in as well.

[@Adagioz1]

@DGordon1130 Life orb and Choice Scarf are both items in the game. Life Orb increases your attack and special attacks. Choice Scarf increases your speed by %50.

[@flipsam02]

4th gen battles are great! Keep em up!

[@casterboi]

the last pokemon game i played with the original gold. so what is life orb and scarf? i keep hearing BT talk about it.

[@warmmittensfuzzykittens]

@Slayer435 Life Orb and Scarfed are both items held by a pokemon. "Life Orb" increases your attacking moves at the cost of a % of your life and "Choice Scarf" makes your pokemon faster at the cost of locking you into 1 move. Just look them up online. Hope this helped!

[@XeasX]

@BlameTruth hey are you still uploading those paranormal investigation vids?

[@papalouie27]

@Retgery - Moves used by the holder deal 30% more damage. The holder takes damage equal to 10% of its max HP rounded down each turn it successfully lands an attack that directly deals damage.

[@Diehlornodiehl]

Can you make a tutorial on how to metagame properly? I rly wanna get into this but have no idea how to start. Plus all the natures, evs, ivs and stuff confuse me.

[@DangerBayLive]

Ive been playing Black and White on a ROM for a couple weeks, and it's pretty great. I've already noticed some moves that will either dominate or be banned competitively. Mainly Sacred Sword, something that has 90 power and 100% accuracy that hits the foe regardless of it's stat changes. But I think Black and White will be successful, has some cool new Pokemon and moves.

[@WH1T3YHD]

how do you manage to calculate battle damage during the match?

[@Rimmer7]

@1tsdumb Is it not giving you the move or are you not actually getting an egg?

[@jeamoller]

@TheNejD - thanks:P, havent played since like 10 or something, but bring back memories to watch :L

[@MrEd92]

@ScoutingTacos Scarfed refers to Choice Scarf, a hold item that increases the user's speed by 1.5 but limits the pokemon to a single move.

[@maynardferguson_cEDH]

Black & White looks crazy, I'd like to see B&W for the entertainment and 4th gen for the strategy

[@bord2heck]

at first I'll want to see alot of 5th gen vids, but ill want some 4th gen after that. are those quagsire and pinsir legit shiny?

[@BrianBadonde9]

What does life orb do? does it give you an attack boost or something? just curious

[@Ziimzy]

ive got a few questions can someone please answer them? Does wifi automatically level up your pokemon temporarily for you? just for the battle? Are all of these shinies legit? like no AR? Can i use NU pokemon in OU? or UU in NU? or whatever? and i have noticed some ubers in some games are ubers allowed? plz plz plz answer me :(

[@MrDragenouf]

im loving the nicknames u give to ur pokemon lol

[@sagegamer28]

@domo2cool STAB is Same Type Attack Bonus which basically means if you attack with a move whose type is the same as the pokemon who used it, the move gets a 1.5x bonus. An example: If Blastoise used Hydro Pump, which does 120 base damage, thanks to Blastoise being a water type and Hydro Pump being a water type attack, the move now does 180 damage.

[@HeXjustCame]

Ya im cool with a little black and white action, btw love these pokemon vids

[@fatclemenza93]

@noah6140127 Scarfed means the pokemon is holding a Choice Scarf, giving it a huge speed boost but restricting it to one chosen move. Life Orb is a held item that increases your attack power, but costs some health with each attack.

[@Rimmer7]

@1tsdumb Is the Gulpin male? Does the gulpin actually know encore?

[@GrizzledPenguin]

Kwandao is a really good battler but BT caught him off guard with the VILEPLUME good shit BT!

[@kevyyankees]

Any chance we could get a LP of a Pokemon game? I loved The Pokemon Yellow one until you cut it short :(

[@hensonmarcos]

BT, your battles are on the DS, but isnt it extremly long to train pokes on the DS... like getting them up to lv100 and EV training every single one of them?

[@Oktenko]

I would like to know if your Pokemon have perfect IVs or just as good as possible/whatever ends up happening when you catch them.

[@MetalGeerz]

@erik0tucker no, when you say a pokemon is scarfed it means they're holding an item called the choice scarf which raises their speed but only limits them to one move.

[@MultiDanKim]

I want to play competitive, but at the same time I don't want to train. Is there a way I can find pokemon that are Lvl 100 or whatever?

[@Eamo5678]

I heard Wobuffett is banned from competitive play? Can someone please explain why?

[@bobdestroysurmom]

Would you be able to do a PokeDex guide, on like where to find each pokemon of each PokeDex?

[@mastermclovin0]

@MrEd92 gotchya thanks for the clarification also if you know what does burning palysing ect do to the stats of the guy?

[@PenguinSauce22]

after watching ur vids i want pokemon even thou i havent beaten a pokemon game before. but i might get 5th gen i was wondering which is better white or black? plz respond

[@trieu946]

@Mat7Y30 scarfed = choice scarf, it is an item that boosts speed but you only can use one attack until you switch out later, life orb is an item that takes your hp for more damage but you can choose attacks

[@lordsauron772]

QotD: Yes I still wanna see 4th Gen comp matches please.

[@MrEd92]

@kayo305 Scarfed refers to Choice Scarf, a hold item that multiplies speed by 1.5 but limits the pokemon to a single move.

[@BumCrackCookies]

@kissa1512 I'm not sure what you mean... Each pokemon has designated base stats which generally dictate how your pokemon's stats will grow as you level up. Does this answer your question? You can tinker with said stats a little bit, but that is fairly advanced pokemon competitive battling info.

[@channelkickasvids]

I see.. so does that mean a lot of the pokemon on NU are there only because of things like stealth rock and spikes? (sorry, I don't really know much besides the metagame)

[@AsylumRaiden]

the sunny day and solarbeam combo nice blametruth

[@SchmickSchmackins]

Do you think you would play competativly if there were no pokemon generating pokemon like SAV?

[@blankballpointpen]

I want to start doing this type of Battling in pokemon , How do I start? I've played Leaf Green and Emerald on my DS but How do I battle in Wifi ? in PC or what?
