One of my favorite combos back in the day was Venomoth Skill Swapping Tinted Lens onto Slaking.

Was also super fun with eviolite Yamask back when pursuit was a thing - Mummy King was GOATED in NU

[@walterbrink5391]

Imagine medichan Skill Swapping with something like Regigigas or Slacking.

[@user-qm4mb7ct3d]

I think Medicham with skill swap is better cuz it applies pure power to Slaking which doubles its enormous attack. This works for Regigigas as well

@@beelaxquay I've heard that some bots are just hacked accounts or accounts that got quite literally sold out (because KZbin apparently bans older accounts less). Though this comment isn't really advertising anything so yeah almost definitely not a bot my bad, it was just sorta suspicious because this account has no other comments on this channel nor a public subscription to it while claiming to be a fan

@@InsertFunnyThingHere Nah not a bot! I used to watch Haydunn a bunch before and got into playing a bunch of Pokemon hacks like Pokemon Glazed after I watched him play it.

Shame on you WinterWesker for running from that game. Dude had an Urshifu and a Stone Ogerpon in the back. Chien-po while paralyzed could still do some work with sucker punch. That's what people who spam broken pokemon be doing when they smell a potential loss 😂😂... after getting a crit too! Good game haydunn ❤✌️

Brother, it brings joy to my heart seeing you working hard and seeing the increase in both views and subs lately. Great content as always, ty for vid

[@mattlucier9740]

This video got me thinking… what if you built a team around slaking that consisted mostly of regenerator Pokémon who could pivot in some way. Cyclizar with shed tail would go hard here. Chilly reception slowking too. Something hard hitting with eject pack. Maybe a red card Pokémon. Obviously some hazard control, maybe a sticky webber. I’m not good enough at Pokémon yet to know if something like this would work, but what do people think? What would a team like that look like? Haydunn, care to take a crack at it?

[@linksora7120]

Slaking is my second favourite normal type next to dubwool so a team around keeping him alive would be amazing. I always believe that if slaking got the move feint his entire competitive useage would shoot up significantly as stab feint would bust open protect stalling him and now the game would become will he attack or feint. Yawn is a great final move on slaking I use atm because if people switch in a bulky pokemon or faster pokemon to try take slaking down you just yawned them and made that a risk to stay in now

[@tobygreen3019]

New Haydunn video it's a good day

[@Giezbro]

The double videos are nice man, keep it up

[@ResidentSleepyJoe]

Slaking has been my favorite pokemon ever since I was a kid. Thanks for playing a team with him once again :)

Thanks for your videos brother. You make the work week a lot better for us all

tbh getting sponsored by ur friend's new game is such a hell yea moment that i would love nothing more than to be on either side of

I’m laughing so hard cuz I’m at work, just got off break after playing some pokemon and eating, and said “it’ll be even chiller if Haydunn uploaded a battle” then boom got that notification 🙌🏾

[@sneakinynja]

Second match was hilarious. Dude brought every major threat in the game but forgot to bring strategy.

[@JayyWilliams]

Every opponent he plays outside of the draft league seems to forget strategy, its weird

[@ShinyHunterSolyu]

I always wondered how Slaking and Regigigas would look like next to a Weezing with Neutralizing Gas

[@grizz6693]

I used to use entrainment

[@DatCartoonistGuy]

NO. With a Medicham to Skill Swap Truant with PURE POWER. Then just sit back and hold onto something as Slaking goes WILD.

[@Haydunn]

Thanks so much I’m glad you enjoy!!

[@NotsilYmerej]

Random thought: what if Truant acted like built in leftovers? The slakoth line already has slack off as basically a signature move

[@lunarumbreon7699]

Using Slaking with retaliate as a revenge killer is actually so good because it allows you to switch after you attack

[@mrbuckets5482]

I fell in love with slaking in emerald after playing with the beast

[@fabumoose3215]

Slaking been giving us maximum Unga Bunga power since ‘02, but I definitely hear Knuck If You Buck start playing anytime a Tinkaton gets sent out 🤣

[@logangonzalez2892]

On the second guy, just by looking at the team you can already tell that he does NOT like losing and will play any Pokémon necessary to win, always satisfying to see people like that lose, especially rage quit lol

[@charlesham9214]

Insane match!

[@digitalatom6433]

This strat is over 20 years old. It still works. Though back in Emerald, we only had Hyper Beam. And yes, gen Z and younger, back then, Hyper Beam did physical damage. :P (and also emotional damage, since Slaking had like the 3rd highest stats of any mon ever. Also Doubles with Trace Skill Swap Gardevoir (Dusclops worked too, but it didn't have Trace so you couldn't steal an ability with it). You also gave it EQ and Shadow Ball (cuz that was a physical type too) and then filler, usually some sort of coverage or utility move. In doubles it'd be Protect (because in doubles you really need to run protect a lot, and skill swap's the only way to make Slaking work in doubles). Happy to see a 3rd gen mon like this still kicking ass today.

[@philippefutureboy7348]

Haydunn I keep telling ya, you must do doubles. Imagine Slaking after gastro acid from Swalot/Serperior 🤯

[@RANDALLcod4]

Mummy Slaking in the Pokemon World Tournament in Gen 5 was awesome.

[@floofzykitty5072]

Whenever I get Slaking in randbats it never disappoints. Using Double Edge with a Choice Band it doesn't really feel that different from other banded Pokemon that you switch in for a revenge kill then switch out. Also has access to good coverage to make Ghosts think twice.

[@JeanVlogDandamme]

The slakoth line was always my gen 3 favorite. Fun fact, in the story mode, slaking is an absolute beast with no flaw ! all you gotta do is use an item half its turns, either to heal him, or buff his stats : That's what he's meant to do (hence the hero's father normal gym, that is based on...using items) Or you can switch him when he's done one shooting the first enemy Also, best hyper beam user in the game (he loses a turn ANYWAY) AND his preevolution vigoroth has such scary stats that he easily counts as a legit final form, like a linoone or a persian Love these lazy ass dudes

[@festusfive9157]

then you meet it in a randomiser nuzlocke where you randomised abilities 😈

[@hotdogkid9015]

This will always be my favorite Pokémon his literally unstoppable and the only reason he doesn’t come out as a mythic Pokémon in my eyes is cause his ability is just that he doesn’t feel like it

[@nightmare348]

I wonder what Slaking could be if it wasn't completely crippled by Truant. TBH, it would prob be in AG.

[@pseudohippie55]

Retaliate Slaking is a hell of a good revenge killer.

[@jeremyl2728]

I think it would be cool if slacking could like use the move slack off while it's a little thing around because of ability. I think that would make it a lot better
