So I made a ICE GYM team... • Pokemon Scarlet/Violet VGC Battles

[@cyanconure]

You should feature more teams you made yourself in your videos! Also thanks for a full year of content!

[@spiralunity]

I second this big time

[@christiank5675]

I reckon it’s much less time consuming to use and showcase rental teams. He even mentions in the video that he had a lot of help building it. If only making a team weren’t so tedious.

[@nikg89]

Very true!!

[@stephenkintner3822]

Would love to see you make “gym leader” teams for each typing! Or to see the other gym leader teams that were featured in Wolfe’s gym. Two great ice types that people forget - Cloyster and Avalugg.

[@TheRealHoMaLoN]

Way ahead of you

[@Kasaaz]

I really do like Glaceon this generation. Changes to Snow and also Tera make it a real threat. Ice Body + Leftovers can give you a TON of staying power too if you don't want to be as RNG dependant. There's also a bunch more always accurate moves in the format now.

[@DeerWren]

That last battle was incredibly cursed on both ends, wild. Love this team tho and thank you for continuing to make such enjoyable and educational content :) Your channel is a delight. I hope you've had a wonderful new year.

[@UrGueBOSS]

This why I Love Cybertron videos. Not only is your boy AMAZING in the VGC format, he also gets creative and finds awesome ways of building new teams. I'm a huge fan of monotypes and this team just blows my mind! Also, happy new year everyone!

[@daking6361]

A nice surprise when the team is made by Aaron. Playing with a new team every episode is so much interesting content

[@primatesnake7004]

Aaron happy new years!! That last match literally had me screaming at my tv hahaha that double protect almost gave me whiplash 😭 I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels super grateful to have gotten such amazing content on road to ranked this entire year from the end of sw/sh to SV. Also so cool to have seen you end the year out with your own built team! Super stoked for what we will see on road to ranked 2023!

[@binx6184]

I LOVE this! Ice is my favorite type of all time; thanks so much for featuring such an awesome team man. Looking forward to more stuff like this. :] Edit: Thank you for your kind words about the holidays, and I-and I’m sure the rest of us-wish you the same too man. You’re awesome. 🤘🏻

[@cutefenns]

Love to see Frosmoth on this team it's such a cool pokemon!

[@trick6pokemon624]

I've been doing a slowking chilly reception into frosmoth for aurora veil set up because the water typing on slowking discourages the fire/steel attacks coming in and sets up double defense. Rock slide is a problem though.

[@1020percent]

@@trick6pokemon624 Tera ice should make it possible to live with snowstorm and veil right?

[@trick6pokemon624]

@@1020percent it's still 4x weak to it so STAB rock slide will OHKO and if it doesn't for some reason you are still slower so even if I tera on the frosmoth after the switch-in to try and aurora veil (I will lose defense boost) I will still die from the original HP loss and while I still run wide guard on Frosmoth I can't aurora veil and wide guard the same turn so I will be relying on whoever was next to slowking to stop both rock sliders and that's how i play it but it usually doesn't end well. It may be worth considering whatever the rock reducing berry is but in my experience occa berry still would get me OHKOd by physical fire moves so I can't imagine living through double rock slide, maybe a single

[@trick6pokemon624]

@@1020percent like you want to leave slowking in to hydro pump the ttar and lycanroc but they have doubled spdef from the sandstorm so you want to chilly, but they can double rslide for a a large flinch chance and you lose there as well

[@trick6pokemon624]

So I started to bring choice scarfannihilape with CC but almost all ttar lycanroc run focus sash on the lycanroc and flying tera on the ttar so it's just a hard lose sadly

[@theschachter9816]

That final game was just a perfect way to cap things off. Happy New Year!

In yugioh if you pull what his opponent was trying to do I call a judge on you lol. What a joke

Was awesome going up against this team in person at the gym event! I was your first match (victim) lol… sweaty finish what a way to end 2022! Cheers to 2023 man!

[@StealthCapital]

I’m honestly loving this new format with the team break down. This single handedly is making me a better VGC player. Please keep it up!

[@toastytoast6749]

I've loved your VGC videos for around two years now (since WBE), and man have they been consistently good. Every team you showcase gives me new ideas, and I'm just really enjoying your content as of late. Have a great 2023!

[@spenceflips9125]

Me too! I think wbe was great for increasing creator’s audience!

[@toastytoast6749]

I recently rewatched WBE, and got inspired to do a draft league with some of my friends. I'm very excited to use the tera flying ttar + lycanroc set featured in a recent video!

[@trick6pokemon624]

I really think Crabominable is a stronger AV pick over cetitan in a snow+trick room oriented team for the speed differential but it is incredibly important to highlight that tera water crabominable is INSANELY unexplored and with access to Iron Fist with STAB crabhammer (no iron fist boost here which seems like an oversight given every other hammer move is boosted), ice hammer, thunder punch, and drain punch with an insane base atk stat of 132

[@ecoKady]

It is a tough road to walk having Gholdengo as a hard counter. You're locked into running Annihilape on your team to either take out Gholdengo or force a Steel terra from it which might give you a chance. Crabominable is an interesting Pokémon that's fallen into a really unfavorable meta. Outside of Gholdengo, though, its coverage is pretty solid with fighting, ice and electric. I don't think Crabhammer gets you much, tbh. Water is a great defensive terra type, but water only gets you offensive coverage against Fire which isn't super important right now. Water/Crabhammer is a pretty steep price to give up Protect as an option. Imo, it's hard to pass up Electric teratyping giving you resistance to steal and extra stab against Dondozo, for whatever that's worth. Is Boxing glove multiplicative? Drain Punch would come in at 75 x 1.5 x 1.2 X 1.1 = 148 power? You get your 10% boost to ice hammer (198) and thunder punch (99). Would have to test Drain Punch. With its lack of bulk, it'll be staring down a lot of 1HKO pressure. Not much point to having drain moves if you're always either 100% HP or 0% HP. Close Combat STABs at 180 power workout any punching buffs. You kind of don't care about your defense and special defense going lower since they're already on the floor.

[@mincdynasty]

As SOON as I saw you made the team, I knew this was gonna be a banger

[@Niteclaw1996]

Great video Aaron! Super fun meeting all of you guys and playing you at the Midtown Gym! Your Ice-types were super bulky and our game was really fun! - Floatzel guy :)

[@benr1279]

Mono teams are very fun in this gen. I made a mono water team with Pelipper, Barraskewda, Palafin, Azumarill, Dondozo, and Tatsugiri, and it’s a blast to use and is surprisingly solid. There is a surprising amount of options in this gem even with the monotype restriction

[@kodyfinley1545]

Love this concept. I’ve always wanted a gym leader format for battles! Really well executed.

[@JuukaRock]

"Today we are here for the FINAL episode of Road to Ranked..." **panic** "...for 2022." calm. Happy new years, and hope next year is even more successful for you champ.

[@Kreceir]

That last fight was insane, that Garchomp must have had King's Rock with those 3 flinches in a row.

[@radpear8592]

King’s rock doesn’t affect moves that already have a chance to flinch

[@wacksonjittemore4013]

Stuff like that makes me hate this game lol. No matter how well you play it's never really in your control, is it

[@danansoemakno8647]

@@radpear8592 i think it's still boost the chance i read it in smogon and i tried w togekiss as well and almost every air slash flinch

[@luigimanzelli3786]

@@wacksonjittemore4013 i mean, it can be true, but the % of games you lose out of 4 consecutive flinches is so small that it won't change your win rate significantly so... it's whatever, also after that game4 i guess the RNG God was balancing some stuff 🤣

[@onlycrams773]

@Danan Soemakno it doesnt, only adds a 10% flinch chance to moves that can't already flinch

[@craigmaltby5390]

I've never felt so gross watching a best of 1. Game 4 was incredible, a true ode to 2022 😂

[@SnarkyShane]

In the last game you debated bringing Glaceon as the 4th, would've been epic to see a showdown between Plot Armor Glaceon and the opponent's Plot Armor Garchomp lol. Also, truly, thank you for another great year of content. Watching Cybertron has become a part of my daily routine and I can only imagine how much effort must go into recording and editing in order to get those videos out every single day. Between the passion and energy you bring into every video and the work you grind out to keep the content coming you genuinely deserve all the success you've achieved. Good fortune to you and the channel in 2023!

[@Pablo360able]

Garchomp: “As soon as I touch you, you’ll flinch.” Glaceon: “Ah, but you have to touch me first.”

[@quantumbanana87]

HNY! I love your content!!! I started watching around this time last year and your channel got me interested in VGC. Thank you so much for everything you do!

[@PKSparkxxDH]

This is the greatest Glaceon gameplay of all time.

[@rauler7]

That last game made me love Annihilape even more. That was a really extrange but spicy game. Happy new year Aaron!!

[@tristanhouse6747]

Glory to Frosmoth! Glad to see it getting some love. One of my faves in SW/SH. Love the content! Eviolite Sneasel is an off meta support I really like that I think could replace Baxcalibur. Access to Inner Focus, Fake Out, Snowscape, Feint Foul Play etc. High base Speed to add some natural speed to your team and good SP Def. Scary Face/Icy Wind if you want more speed control and dark type so immune to prankster moves. Very underrated support option in my opinion!

[@arand0mguy]

Game 4 was crazy Have a happy new year Arron

[@wileycorgi4138]

[@MinkahExe]

Glad to make it too another year been following you since X and Y and you really got me into competitive

[@pixelperfectgaming1996]

I love making mono type teams just because of the added challenge of trying to synergize and cover for the weaknesses of pokemon that share the same type. I made a mono steel team and it consists of Scizor/Tinkaton/Corviknight/Perrserker/Gholdengo/Revavroom. It's a fun team to pilot in pvp and anyone who wants to use the team is free to do so! (Team code:CSXTG7)

[@extrememanner3867]

Thank you for making a video on this team! I'm building a Glaceon team myself rn and I was hoping to get some insight into how yours worked. I've been really impressed by AV Glaceon, especially with Aurora Veil support + the defense boost from snow it becomes an absolute tank - with max hp it can very comfortably take a choice specs make it rain. I also run ground tera blast on mine to pick up surprise KOs on Steel and Fire types which has been very effective for me. Love Glaceon and glad to see you use it! :) Edit: Also I just got to game 4 and Glaceon immediately won you the game, I love that mon LMAO

Shiny Cetitan looks incredible. The original color palette is a little underwhelming for me, but the shiny makes the design hit so much harder. I know it's just "orca colors plus orange" but it really works well. Might have to shiny hunt it when I get the chance.

[@bunniyubel3782]

Just for reference for others (and future me) to min-max EV spreads to be more efficient: 108 Speed EV's into Cetitan outspeeds max speed Dragapult in Snow (Not scarf pult) 100 Attack EV's into Baxcalibur with loaded dice icicle spears guarantees a KO on max defense eviolite Murkrow (So basically everything else that gets hit super effective by a base 100-125 + STAB will die, especially after a DD) + 188 Speed EV's means you outspeed Kilowattrel after 1 DD. 228 Speed EV's Timid Glaceon outspeeds Max Speed Tyranitar + 244 Special Attack EV's OHKO's Hydreigon with Blizzard (So you can invest the other EV's into bulk) TL;DR: I used Dragapult, Murkrow, Kilowattrel and Tyranitar as benchmarks to help make the EV spreads more efficient. 108 Speed Cetitan 100 Attack + 188 Speed Baxcalibur 228 Speed + 244 Special Attack Glaceon EDIT: Tera Electric Baxcalibur with Tera blast over Glaive Rush/DClaw is an option as well for "BoltBeam" Coverage. Dragon type moves are imo not as useful considering fairies are pretty common and people can easily tera out of a dragon weakness (Read: Hydreigon and Garchomp)

Aaahhh.. my favorite type, favorite poketuber, great way to end/ring in the year!

[@tedestrada57]

I think the Baxcalibur can be exchanged for Beartic. It's got amazing coverage moves and is decently bulky. You can run it as a Max Atk Max Spd Slush Rush sweeper with already good bulk to begin with so it can get some Swords Dance action if left unchecked. It can even run Choice Band. An alternative is using the Slush Rush Max Speed with some HP and Def/SpDef investment to run it as a Yawn+Rock Slide/Bulldoze support.

[@mckuden5037]

I think this was amazing. I would love to push the idea further, probably you could come up with a monthly event, where you can invite other content creators to take the role of gymn leaders (or maybe the elite 4), and draw members from the community to tackle the challenge.

[@siddhantjain2402]

TBH that Glaceon set is probably my favourite from this team. Also I know it's technically a win condition, but I really do hate Stall of all kinds. Props to the 5th opponent and Aaron for having the patience to play it out!
