Just getting back into Pokémon and I love sword and shield. The grind and the satisfaction of winning a battle. You feel like you’re in the series yourself. I’ve beat people that are using legendary Pokémon with a team of charizard garchomp and wailord. Trying to come up with skill and strategy just feels so good when it works out especially being down 3-1 in a battle and coming back to win it with your main ace. Can’t wait to explore further in the Pokeverse and battle stronger opponents

[@malachirodrigues3013]

Double iron bash is a very nice signature move for melmetal. Even tho if it's not super effective against fire, water or electric, it does a lot of damage like dracovish fishous rend.

[@malachirodrigues3013]

Corviknight along with battle Armor is so OP 😎.

[@sankalpchoubey6629]

I am surprised there was no Dracovish or Zacian. Before the DLC these were 2 of the strongest pokemon as far as i remember

[@Inebriated_Goat]

Zacian is still really good tbh

[@SamSayonaraSimon]

Regieleki with it's incredible speed plus speed control also should be on this list.

[@turboshazed7370]

Electro ball on Toxapex rip bozo

[@308719236]

Only in doubles it gets walled to hell by diggersby and ground types in singles

[@blacksheep7741]

It's fast but electric attacks is not really going to do that much on some pokemon

[@Inebriated_Goat]

@@turboshazed7370 as a toxapex player oof

[@amylzrd]

Finally he gives credit to Charizard!🎉

[@Weav576]

Ursifu single strike's signature move actually does a little more damage than Urishifu rapids signature move, despite being a one shot move unlike Urshifu rapids move. Both guaranted crits

[@Buddy26420]

No mention of Galarian Darmanitan Gorilla Tactics is just op

[@shawnrich8107]

What about Cinderace with Libero ability? That was always a challenge in singles. It was pretty much broken. 😂

[@robertperez2262]

I remember playing Ruby… my Ace was either Flygon (like 70% of the time) or Salamence … usually Flygon

[@blacksheep7741]

Yup flygon was on the team

[@themrme4031]

Super pedantic question: does prankster really offer any real benefit with nasty plot? Buffing and attack Stat first doesn't seem major if you can't utilize it the same round.

[@MagmaGX]

Increasing stats using Swords Dance or Nasty Plot is rarely seen in VGC. Unlike in Single, there is a Sweeper role, and there is no Sweeper role in VGC because you can't sweep properly. Grimmsnarl is a Support because it has a lot of support move, Reflect, Light Screen, Fake Tears (for Kyogre) is very good, and Whimsicott has Tailwind because Speed is super important in VGC

[@themrme4031]

@@MagmaGX sorry he specifically mentioned using nasty plot with prankster. It just stood out haha. I used to run Grimmsnarl in masterball and thought I might be missing some minutiae with priority attack boosts.

[@themrme4031]

@@MagmaGX also fantastic run down of the Snarl.

[@MagmaGX]

@@themrme4031 yup, that's why I said in VGC, increasing stat is rarely seen, the only Pokemon I see using Swords Dance is Groudon, Garchomp, Weavile and some Zacian, for Nasty Plot is Galarian Moltres, I'm not sure but there's plenty more Nasty Plot User. Prankster is rare of an ability too so the user of Prankster is mostly support because they're more useful for supporting than sweeping, or they have terrible stat, some even use Destiny Bond like M-Banette. It's kinda weird how he utilize Nasty Plot lol

[@ThePeasantRock16]

What about top 10 The most PREDICTABLES Pokemon

[@braydonjames9867]

Where cinderace

[@pokejolt9908]

Cinderace with Libero is Arceus-tier in competitive.

[@manviraujla1839]

Any discord rooms for wifi battles on sword and shield? Via codes

[@axels3188]

I think these choices were good.

[@wooloosupremacy9484]

Why is Tapu Lele not on this lmao

[@savannahbutler4718]

Would regi rock registeel and regice be okay

[@AD-uq7cg]

I take it this is for singles? VGC was a doubles format and most of these weren’t on the best teams

[@Weav576]

Honerable mention, Galar Darmanitan

[@Weav576]

Also Mr Rhime is quite underatted

[@Weav576]

Having an ability that automatically removes screens from the field bring a good check to dual screens Grimsnarl

[@chileangamer]

11:59 is it just me, but Ground/Flying doesnt make much sense at all lol

[@durk5331]

hot take, Urshifu shouldn't have been a Legendary, it should have been a Pseudo Pseudo Legendary like Lucario, Volcarona, or Arcanine >.>

[@MagmaGX]

Kind of true, Lucario, Volcarona, and Arcanine is not a pseudo tho, but still true

[@durk5331]

@@MagmaGX Why I used the Term Pseudo-Pseudo Legendary >.> Didn't say it twice for no reason >.>

@@durk5331 cool, Pseudo Pseudo Legendary sound nice

[@Peterledgend]

Hopefully, we get a completion of the no restrictions best team series with Pokémon RBY, HGSS, B2W2, USUM and the Let's Go games.

[@TheTumbleFever]

How was it anti meta if it was meta..

[@DogOnExtendingLead]

Zacian and dracovish. Like really. There is not a team anywhere that doesn't have zacian on it. And you mentioned whimsicot but not the pokemon that caused it to be used. Dracovish

[@Godsflan_]

You could’ve just said the gen 1 starters were great in gigantamax forms bro.

[@gabrielchee8470]

Blastoise wasn't on the list

[@majesticespeon3126]

You forgot about the best one Gengar because his gmax can simply and literally eat whoever it faces lol

Somebody needs to make a gengar meme where he just pops his mouth like that random cat
