The Correct Way to Play Sun

[@madanigamer]

That was copycat belly drum mimikyu

[@ohnohwgn]

that guy with the snorlax and mimikyu was trying to have snorlax die turn 1 so that mimikyu could copycat belly drum and sweep, i remember temp doing something similar but with azumarill and mega lucario

[@muhasinwahab554]

This Mimikyu-Snorlax strat was actually invented by Emvee, who legitimately used this strat in actual Showdown OU Battles, not that fake AG salt shit temp does.

[@ohnohwgn]

@@muhasinwahab554 i never said that temp invented the strategy? all i said was that's where i saw it used. i'm also pretty sure emvee didn't invent it either, considering there are a lot of belly drum mimikyu videos that predate emvee's.

If you hit fire blast it would have had a very very low chance to kill assuming the lando had literally no defensive investment 252 SpA Ninetales Fire Blast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Landorus-Therian in Sun: 237-280 (74.2 - 87.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Did you do modest?

[@maxbrown8109]

@@argonhammer9352 no bc it wasn't lol. And even if it was it looked like the lando was scarfed (could be wrong abt that) so modest Ninetails would have undersped and died

By the way a broken set for comfy set, use Triage w/ big root for extra heals, aromatherapy for toxic stall, calm mind, giga drain, draining kiss. Heals get priority. So much salt.

[@pokemon1895]

I really enjoy listening to Papa's music in the background of his vids.

[@BonzuP.theThird]

Oh it warms my soul seeing trevenant. I use almost the same moveset except I like phantom force. Not as strong as poltergeist, but a turn of (almost) invulnerability and it still gets the healing from leech seed and an extra chance for harvest to activate. 100/10 should not be untiered T.T

[@henrybear2293]

Wait is there any way of hitting a Pokémon while it used phantom or shadow force?

[@BonzuP.theThird]

@@henrybear2293 yeah lock-on, mind reader, or if either pokemon has no guard

[@BonzuP.theThird]

@meetyourmaykr phantom force hits past protect which is cool, and yeah normal is probably the best counter

[@Chernobylican]

Hey love your showdown content, its interesting to see you play around with not too op pokemon and wierd teams! I too have always found it more interesting to use non-meta mons and make them work. I was messing around on nat dex because its funner to be able to use allt he pokemon possible and i made a pretty funny team. So its basically budget Marshadow. Im using Psych up on fast mons with a sash and then just reverse sweep. My favrioute picks so far are Weavile and Alakazam because they have good speed and attack stats without needing bulk. I also use Destony bond to get rid of any pokemon that could be a threat and the res of the team isnt important. I tried it out a little and it seems not too bad! Id really love to see you use a team similar to that if you havent already. Keep up the great content!

[@lordgrub12345]

Thank you so much papa for your content. You always appear in the best times

[@Canadian_Ry]

This was great, Papa! Thanks for another awesome vid

[@Nikko_no_Tabi]

With this team I can fairly say that your opponents are ruined, like poor boys from a house in New Orleans. I mean, the only time they're going to be satisfied with their KOs is when they're on a drunk. That sun is like a ball and chain, and you're putting one foot on the platform, the other foot on the train. So, mother, tell your children not to do what your opponents did. Save their lives from hax and misery, in the house of the rising- Rain

How do you mess up an ideal belly drum mimikyu

@@MrMonkey2150 My thoughts exactly. Wasting a Z Crystal on a 2-turns move to counter something already weak to that team doesn't sound great.

[@typhlosion7872]

I'm surprised nobody used Weather Ball over Ice Beam on Kyurem on sand/sun teams to deal with Volc/Scizor

[@oodogla]

Soul dew was banned before gen 6 because it was broken then (gave insta 1.5x special attack and defense) but now it's just like the creation orbs for the Latis so it isn't banned (1.2x power on dragon and psychic moves)

The guy that tried copycat belly drum but used gastro acid XD

[@robomix3162]

i have a ice, flying and fairy type only team, and i have a comfey (triage) with aromatherapy, draining kiss, giga drain and leech seed, and a f* ton of speed, and its a FRICKIN BEAST, do NOT underestimate the flower fairies EVER, and just in case someone tries to stop it, BOOM, lum berry

that snorlax was new meta

[@thehonkingphrog5021]

I dont know if this is the right place to put challenges or if anyone has suggested this before but, Challenge Idea: Have a team with common mons but with the wrong ability, like flame orb conkeldurr without guts, toxic orb gliscor without poison heal, leaf storm serperior without contrary, truant durant without entrainment, grassy slide rillaboom without grass surge and maybe ferrothorn without iron barbs

I think the problem with those OMs is that or people don't play those or very few, and you end up having yo wait ages to find a single opponent.

[@schw4rztee502]

@@JonkoSplonko it's not as quick as the really popular ones but I usually find a match in less than a minute. Sometimes the an OM just doesn't resonate with a larger audience, but it's rare for that to apply to both "OM of the month" and "Leader's choice".

Honestly, creative gimmicks are so uncommon nowadays that most 2 mon strats you see are someone else's. TwilightKeko was going to let Mimikyu copycat Belly Drum and "sweep." These dumb strats are shut down easily and just pollute the NatDex ladder. Glad to see you still using creative teams though.

14:40 Bullshit RNG dictates. Your game plan was to rely on a 85% chance, you could have taken a more reliable move, but didn't. Take the 15% L like a normal person, or use other moves.

[@darioschottlender]

Do you think it would have killed landorus though? It was a timid ninetales

[@robbierotten2024]

This is such an oddly aggressive take over nothing lol. Yeah, he didn’t have the damage calculations right, so what?? Like, he went for the 85% accurate move because he thought a more reliable attack wouldn’t kill landorous, so really he didn’t have the option to use anything but fireblast to get rid of landorus. Ontop of this, he’s always hated the rng? He doesn’t like the rng element of the game, it’s not like he could have done anything better in that situation. The only chance was hoping that a: fireblast kills lando, and B: that it hit because weatherball sure as hell wasn’t killing and solar beam wasn’t stab so neither was it. His frustration was that at the end of the day, his win condition was completely reliant on RNG (assuming his strongest move could kill, which wasn’t that bad of an assumption in the first place as stab weather fireblast is pretty hard hitting). This is a certified chucky cheese take dude
