They Brought Malamar BACK & BUFFED

[@TheHoIyMeow]

the strat was clever to begin with even with just malamar and court change; did not expect the synergy with sceptile though, that put a smile on my face. great video!

[@Baby-Blue-102]

Agreed! honestly i wonder how sceptile is doing. i honestly always never picked the grass types in any of the games except bulbasaur where possible like in gen 6. then i watched a video and learned superior is actually pretty crazy and im a gen 5 boy. (who preferred emboar because why not). Kinda beginning to take an interest in grass starters. am i becoming the weird kid? because as far as im aware 90% of people pick the fire or water starters in their games. Either way, that sceptile was cool! i hope to see a video on what sceptile can do at some point. very interesting stuff.

[@blaacksugar7714]

With the white herb. And the unburden. And with the aerial ace.

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

Court change into Malamar! If it's crazy and convoluted, it's probably a Haydunn strat! I love it!

I've been following you for years and I really dig all the new Wi-Fi battles you've been putting out lately!

[@Haydunn]

Thanks so much!

[@Pirate_]

I know not a lot of people caught this but the "all boosted up like I grabbed some pills from the gas station" was just classic.

[@blake..-]

I bet you love rick and morty

[@Ouch.3]

Malamar is also really funny in doubles as it has skill swap, you can give contrary to a hydrapple then set up trick room and with leaf storm and draco meteor it will get free max spa. You can also use stored power and psych up to copy the stat changes of the hydrapple and have 2 max spa pokemon both soamming insane stab moves

[@seronimo__7735]

The thing is, it requires Hydrapple to take two hits, one for Skill Swap and one for Trick Room. Hydrapple doesn't have terrible bulk, but it also relies on Regenerator a lot (and it can't switch out or else it loses Contrary). It seems like a risky setup that could lose you the battle on turn 1 or 2.

Malamar: Call an ambulance! BUT NOT FOR ME!!!

[@robertpoole9707]

Court Change Sticky Web Malamar was the expected amount of coolness. The White Herb Unburden Sceptile to seal the game was the serious unexpected amount of cool. Your opponent never stood a chance lol

[@trashinthecan15]

Mans was cooking COOKING with this team

[@VM13TV]

Definitely one of the most fun strats I've seen - not just Cinderace+Malamar, but loved the late game Sceptile with unburden too!

[@naomiseadragon2676]

Dang, this team has a ton of synergy! I can't wait to see more battles with it

[@adonisdarkblade]

The Aurora Veil on your side wore off earlier because it was the first Aurora Veil set up, not because they had Light Clay and you didn't. The Light Clay effect was on both

[@AsuraTheVampire]

Let's not forget, Malamar gets Skill Swap, so you can do some crazy stuff with the ability in doubles

[@ExImperialDragon]

I meant to say this the other day, but Frostitute is like a top tier nickname for Froslass, just like it is for the old Jynx WiFi battles. But Epilep-Z for Porygon, I think, has now become my favorite. Your name game is always on point, I don't recall seeing Drillionaire before and that's another like top 10 nickname.

[@Froschemints]

That synergies meshed like gear wheels and I'm so all in for it. Damn that was awesome

[@yellowfrog2259]

0:07 holy crap that's actually op, no wonder its bade stat total is under 500

[@IVeNoMII]

I've been watching this man for damn near 10 years and never commented, the court change self stickyweb contrary Malamar got me.

[@KiryuuYoshiya]

it may be a goofy ass strat but that makes it even more satisfying when it works and boy did it. malamar went off this match. love to see it

[@EverythingInMyBrain]

It’s even better in doubles when you use its partner Pokemon to scary face it.

[@ryanmoss6664]

Sceptile is one of my favs awesome seeing him put in work

[@echobows5778]

Yo, I was NOT expecting the surprise synergy between Court Change and Sceptile. Absolutely sick, brother.

[@Marchesa367]

the self-hazard strats are BACK BABYYYYYY

[@omiahmed2520]

omg that unburden sceptile thooo! That was so smart

[@inretrosuspect]

Seeing as his Gallade was in his picture it must have been salt in the wound that you one shot it

I love Malamar. It is an underrated Pokemon

[@b2j135]

the unburden on sceptile was GENIUs ngl, this team is wacky lmao I might have to steal it 🤣🤣

[@CashPrizess]

Haydunn this was super enjoyable to watch! Sceptile getting some love is a massive bonus ❤

[@ES-dp6tw]

Malamar one of my favourite Gen 6 mons. Nice to see it get some love :)

[@dixieflyer2012]

This was the most crazy strategy I've ever seen. This is content!

Absolutely loved that secondary sceptile strat. So good

[@TonyTorkoal]

That sceptile unberdun strat was flames! Keep up the fire content!

[@grizz6693]

I love the showcase of Malamar, but shoutouts to that Sceptile as the perfect follow-up to your unorthodox strat.

[@gokuworld]

Imagine a Pokémon game that seamlessly integrates every mechanic, from Mega Evolution to Z-Moves, creating a rich and dynamic gaming experience. Picture a world where strategic depth and variety coexist, offering players the opportunity to engage with a diverse range of gameplay elements.

[@Haydunn]

A game where every single gimmick exists sounds like hell and I want nothing to do with that

[@bacca4813]

Can we please talk about the phrase "Malamar's out here boosted up like I grabbed some pills from the gas station," because oh my god, that was amazing.

[@dudeguyrockfan]

love your commentary the faster paced lil jabs in there been watchin you for years man

[@lema9509]

Whenever you mention Court Change in the intro I know it's going to be a good one :) using your own Sticky Web to raise your speed in TWO different ways is insane !!

[@Geostar011]

You're doing a great job man! Love that you're giving often forgotten mons the ability to shine!

[@OriginalSketch6494]

Strats like these make me so pumped to see you compete in the draft format! Just watched Joey's stream and your announcement as a coach was so hype. 2024 is looking real fun

[@arurujay2056]

I used to do a reverse Sticky Web team before too back in the Sun and Moon era using Defiant and Competitive mons using Purugly, Wigglytuff, Primeape, Gothitelle. Good times.

[@phyllotaxis]

"Malamar's boosting up like I grabbed some pills from the gas station" This is why I'm subbed lmao

[@Hugo-tf6no]

“Malimar is out here boosted like i grabbed some pills from the gas station” 🤣🤣🤣 bruh

[@TheRedWhisky]

I was expecting having to court change the sticky webs away, but you git me with that white herb play 👍

[@pseudohippie55]

Hell yeah! I was hoping you'd use Malamar. I love this little Squid boy.

[@PhantoRoyce]

Digging the context type change up. Been watching you for probably a decade now

[@ElPabloDelDiablo]

You can also use trick on Malamar to give contrary to other Pokémon. Anything that uses Draco Meteor or Close Combat is really fun.

[@ecoverm6314]

I love malamar in double battles on showdown, topsy turvy-ing the opponents sweeper is hilarious

[@Nikolaj11]

Back in Pokémon Y I had a contrary Malamar on my playthrough team. Loved this mon ever since, so fun to use. Psychic/Dark type with Psycho Cut and Night Slash high crit rate is fun as well.

You’re inspiring me to finally get into competitive. Been a fan of the series for forever but always too intimidated to try it until now 😈😈😈

[@químicacomoigão]

Absolutely in love with the concept of this team! 🤩

[@sekaihunter9378]

I would love to see any Contrary Pokémon with the Room Service item. The idea is if you switch your Contrary mon into the last turn of Trick Room, and it will actually get a speed boost instead of speed drop from the Room Service just in turn for the Trick Room to expired.

[@123ssecret]

Malamar also has access to Topsy-Turvy, which can ruin a swords/dragon dancer if you get the right callouts.

[@anthonymonaco280]

Hey Love ur vids, idk if u already have a plan for Smergle but I think I may have came up with good moveset for it (mostly because I couldn't do this with Scorvillain) basically make it learn Spicy Extract and Foul Play (I also gave it Fake out and acrobatics with a Mirror herb but you can do something else) I guess u can give it the ability Moody too but I haven't tried that yet. I'm sure u could make it an interesting mon to play with.
