Its also seriously not that bad. Some people might want a redirect on their *hyper offense miraidon* team who’s main uniqe value doesn’t rely on allowing their partner to get hit in the first place, doesn’t rely on sleep, and also isn’t 2hit ko by rilla and Incin *U turn* Maybe they want a mon with only 1 weaknesses that is hard to hit right now, and who can take away 1/2 health on *any* non ghost type.(and one he can choose to heal when mirai volt-switches out, when going for damage risks protects blocking the switch) Also Calling any team that goes 5/3 at these stacked world championships forced is kinda wild to me. I may not know what’s cooking, but I know he’s up there and winning a lot and im down here talking about him.

Yo Freezai, I'm the Scraggy guy. I appreciate getting a shoutout from one of my favorite creators. It is worth noting that the Scraggy also threatens to set up a sweep next to drain punch Iron Hands as well as horn leech Ogerpon. In the end, it became less of a caly-I team with tools to support it and more of a "completely built around Scraggy" team once I realized how powerful it was. Thanks again for the feature! It made my day.

In singles, it's playable in lower tiers thanks to Prankster, Recover, Will-o'-wisp and other support moves. Plus its Mega got banned to Ubers. In doubles, it's seen tons of play as a Prankster support/annoyer. And especially in the TCG : whereas most Pokemon have 1 or 2 meta cards to their name, 3 Sableye cards were great, of these, 2 got banned in some way and one is a candidate for the most broken of all-time, forcing an emergency set rotation to get it out of the game.

I agree that sejun wanted to use pachi and anyone else would have chosen a different pokemon, but in doing so they also wouldn’t have made this team. I think sejun saw miraidon and added chi yu, and then put choice items on both of them. With that many choice items he wanted to use redirection. Since this is a miradon team amoongus and indeedee are out. That leaves ogerpon and clef. If he wants something that doesn’t have as many weaknesses(like to uturn)as ogerpon, then it’s down to clef. Here my take: my mans saw clef and he saw pachi and he wanted the mon that was immune into the most powerful moves of one of the more popular restricteds, and saw more value in a support able to reliably put an opponent’s resists into mirai’s ko range then one that would allow his hyper offensive team to be better able to take hits. Of course he’s biased, and I agree that most ogre are just a better pick. But I don’t think its all that forced, especially if this is the way he wants to play his team, and especially if his biggest problem matchup is the Miraidon mirror. There is no other follow me user immune to miraidon’s electric attacks (cuz we all know how miraidon laughs at resistances) without tera other than Electivire, who has worse defenses, ability, and movepool; and despite having better hp attack and speed, has never won the world championships, unlike pachirisu.(or even raichu, who lacks follow me)

@@_Germ_ That does make a lot of sense. Follow me + helmet is great against water ursh and any sash user especially for sejun’s heavily choiced team that needs to take knockouts. The other reditect users with helmets are amoongus, and indeedee. If you want electric terrain those aren’t at the top of your list. Farig does everything indeedee usually does exept redirection without overwriting electric terrain(and if you’re running indeedee, usually you want that terrain). That leaves grass ogre, which must be in the bottom 2 of the ogerpon forms for defensive typing in this meta.

@@jonathanlgill possibly, but how could anyone suggest that pachirisu feels forced by virtue of the opportunity cost of *electabuzz*? Not ogre and pachi or incin and pachi, or even raichu and pachi but electabuzz? Ill give you that the stats are better but it’s defenses(important for follow me) are only significantly better with eviolite. And still, The movepool is not. Superfang is just too valuable, and even tho buzz has the speed to use it doesn’t have the move. Ill also give you that static is a great ability for a follow me user, but it’s unreliable and it doesn’t break focus sashes like the helmet pachi can hold, while buzz wants eviolite. Most importantly, Pachi is clearly here over conventional choices because of the miraidon mirror, and specs miraidon in terrain doesn’t care about resistances unless they’re AV raging bolt, it cares about immunities, wich pachi has and buz doesn’t.

My personal favourite niche mon was the grand finalist in the Junior division who used Iron Treads. This was a mon that has seen virtually no usage the entire year, as it was thought its skillset was more singles orientated. He used a Life Orb set with High Horsepower, Steel Roller, Protect and Megahorn with Tera Bug (no idea what EVs, though I'm guessing 252/252 since it's Life Orb and I saw it get a Speed boost in Electric Terrain). I'm guessing they used it to beat Miraidon and Raging Bolt, and with Steel Roller it could deal with Psyspam.

Pachirusu needed discharge support from Miraidon for whatever reason the Miraidon did not have discharge I already knew it wasn't going to go down the way he wanted it once I saw there was no discharge

Honestly, its kinda poetic that when Sejun used Pachirisu because it was the best option available he became the world champion, and when he used it because he wanted to use a favorite he couldnt make day 2

It's also interesting to note that the very top player on the list (Diego Ferreira) had a Torkoal! How does it pair with the other members of his team, though?

Torkoal has been a staple of competitive since at least Gen 8 due to its power as a support pokemon and trick room attacker with drought
@floorgle
@floorgle 24 күн бұрын
Not that interesting, it looks to be a hard trick room calyrex ice team, and eruption torkoal with drought it a nuke on those kinds of teams, loving indeedee’s psychic terrain to stop it from taking priority chip which would weaken its eruption, and with calrex forms a nasty spread move combo that can be very difficult to position around, unlike in singles, this torkoal is a sweeper/breaker, not just a sun setter

Hello Freezai, I really like you and your vids. But this one I must say unfortunetaly wasn't the quality you usually deliver. Maybe if you would showcase some of the strats in Showdown it would help to understand the strats better. Thank you very much. (PS: sorry for the criticism, I really like you!)
