So KORAIDON just WON a tournament... • Pokemon Scarlet/Violet VGC Battles

[@Kenepa]

I'm very happy 😄that you liked the team. The EVs that are in the rental are not the same as those in the original paste, but it will be something that I will explain in my team report video. However, the explanation you gave of some calculations are correct and there are others that I will soon reveal.

[@antoniosoutzee8935]

Felicidades🎉!

Can someone explain? I'm new to VGC so

[@alanzovictoria]

@@phenomenonnarutokun Aaron is famous for making it to Top 4 in I believe the 2013 World Championship and missing Will-O-Wisp from his Wash Rotom like 3x in a row that absolutely cost him the match and from advancing into the Finals. I think the accuracy of Will-O-Wisp was changed from 75 to 85 shortly after this debacle too lol. He jokes about it now so I’m sure he’s moved on from it, but at the time I’m sure it was quite devastating

[@LacroixboiB]

Been watching for a couple years and finally went to my first Local tourney today, thanks to you! I couldn’t have done it without the hours of education you give to all us through the channel. Your analysis has been motivating! Thank you Aaron! Maybe one day I will get to play against my GOAT at a regional!

I swear the only reason Koraidon isn’t Fire/Dragon is so they don’t repeat Fire/Dragon and Electric/Dragon box legendaries

should've been for unova

Right? They should have been dragon/steel for the future cause it's man made and dragon/water for the past cause life comes from water...Wait no

[@latbil]

Yeah it’s tough; you essentially NEED to deny trick room I think imprison farigiraf is the play in this meta honestly; Caly-Ice is one of the few terms that I feel like just CAN’T lose once it gets trick room up

it's mostly thanks to tera, certain pokemons became incredibly hard to deal with thanks to their defensive tera

[@jamesaditya5254]

[@christimson6233]

I don’t why but it’s really exciting that the two new legendaries can both win tournaments and not be op. Seems like they did well balancing this time around.

[@AnonDudeBro]

It balances well, Koraidon has the weaker typing defensively (better typing offensively though) and it has the better ability that enables better teammates (& the better signature move imo). Miraidon is a special attacker so it has the advantage in that department, and the better defensive typing without a 4x weakness, the one drawback is that it isn’t hitting everything super effectively either. Its ability is worse imo because it doesn’t really empower other good pokemon that can use it in any meaningful way.

[@anna_medeia]

Kind of interesting to see this take from a Singles perspective, but it wouldn't exactly be the first time that mons are not nearly as busted in doubles setting (Mega-Rayquaza been the prime example). Kinda feel that Koraidon isn't explored enough tho and will get more powerful as time goes on.

[@MiffedKitten]

[@arrownibent5980]

Gholdengo really really has such an interesting place in the meta filling these specific niches so well despite competing with so many Ghost type monsters in the format. Being able to set up in front of Amoongus never goes out of style

[@lauttaholic]

Aaron, I've been watching you for a while and love your content...but I've never rooted against you harder than when you played that Mewtwo team. That player won my heart at team preview.

[@jobrosef7677]

Hey Cybertron, you probably forgot, but @35:40 Hydro Steam is boosted by x1.5 in the sun so it would've been stronger. You made the better decision anyway.

I've been running nearly this exact team with Farig over Gholdengo. It's great not getting shut down by priority, great into Caly, can reverse trick room or set it up if I'm getting out out sped.

[@luigimanzelli3786]

wow this is kind of cool to know that i've built basically the same team a few days ago, i guess it means i'm team building in the right direction, i just got whim over torn and flutter over dhengo, now i'm even more hyped looking forward to experiment some more with the team!

[@Babs11549]

I love Koraidon! He enables rhe Jurassic Johto team in such a good way.

[@Ashes228]

QOTD: Definitely both Calyrex's. Honestly i feel they're too centralizing and restricting when team building because if you don't specifically build with countering them in mind the match ups feel really lopsided. If their signature moves were nerfed to be 80% accurate, like Precipice Blades and Origin Pulse, i feel they'd be much better balanced and it would give other restricteds a better chance at being useful.

[@CaptainSherbertTheQuestionable]

I am not sure if you'll see this in time but I was wondering if someone can explain something for me. I am going to the LA regionals and noticed that the event is 24th-26th. If the torney proper starts on the 25th what is happening on the 24th? Is it the registration or are there other things to do while there and that first day is a sort of free day? I have never been to a regional so I have no clue.

I ran into a Flutter Mane with Power Gem recently. That could've been dangerous for your gameplan in game 3.

[@weasel_in_a_tophat]

QOTD: Scarf Kyogre is very hard for me to play against, especially with proper support. If you want to counter with your own tailwind, my opponent could bring Tornadus and outpace, but if I want to stop it with priority, they could lead farigiraf. And then kyogre uses water spout and do 70% to bulky resists, even behind screens

[@BWING224]

wide guard shuts down kyogre very effectively and also tornadus bleakwind

[@Kasaaz]

I think Koraidon will be better in Double Restricted than it is now.

[@anna_medeia]

Yeah Koraidon + Miraidon have good synergy offensively and so does Koraidon + Calyrex-Shadow or even Koraidon + Zacian. Miraidon probably also gets better.

[@axeldefenin7044]

Why are there 4 remaining EVs on the Koraidon that are not going to the DEF stat?

[@dakodastevens8972]

Small nitpick with the team, but for walking wake wouldn't it be more optimal to run 8 less HP EVs so your HP isn't cleanly divisible by 10?

[@Kenepa]

Hi, the answer is because I built the team in game the night before the tournament😂and I didn't have enough items to make it as the paste. Thats why you will see some pokémons with less EVs. Also, you can Notice my koraidon's Collision Course only has 5 PP 😅.

[@zhenchen7769]

that's wack cause koraidon is missing 4 evs, gholdengo incineroar rillaboom are missing 8 evs, and walking wake is not optimized for life orb, 179hp and 1 more def and spedef is better than 180hp cause you lose 18hp every life orb instead of 17hp AND 1 hp is less bulk than 1 def plus 1 spedef
