3 reasons you have potential to be one of the best poke tubers ive seen. 1. You explain abilities and moves quickly in the start so that those of us unaware can hear and read them 2. You dont waste time showing us long drawn out switches and unessesary expose you always edit slow points out 3. You have great banter and commentary. Keep it up!

[@químicacomoigão]

And he is not afraid to show when he loses a match. 😊

[@Red_Belly]

best nicknames in the game as well

[@Triobros1098]

He is better than anyone else on KZbin

[@jonathanbellina6504]

Agree with all said above

[@lordmonarch2995]

You would’ve loved to watch Pikawu he is more informative and educational in his battles. Pokeaim is arrogant but he’s also a good Poketuber to watch because he goes into detail about why he makes the plays he makes.

[@esralper00]

3:07 my boy ting-lu trying his hardest to keep up with the hitmontop lol

[@tonberry2670]

That's actually pretty funny

[@Magikarpador]

I appreciate how much faith you have in Flygon despite not having a single stat over 100

[@kelvinsomnia]

Who needs stats when you have cool goggles?

[@TaLeng2023]

​@@kelvinsomniaI wish it had better abilities. It have 3 as Trapinch but then get stuck with 1 on evo. Like, at least give it Tinted Lens, it's already wearing one!

Minior I missed this little dude such a fun pokemon too use

[@dillionjohnson7706]

Same man, he is so fun lol

[@orlando108]

I love Ting lu being so focused on watching Hitmontop dance lol Pokemon focusing on each other is so funny sometimes lol

[@themanbehindyou.216]

Finally some Minior respect. I love using the little guy on Showdown because no one knows how it works. They try to burn it, paralyze it, put it to sleep only for it to fail, which then allows it to use shell smash and sweep.

[@Jacksorangejuice2079]

Exactly,this has happened so many times when I use minior

[@marlonknockaert3233]

It can't be burned? thats one hell of a set-up sweeper!

[@xVibra]

Minior was one of my favorite pokemon from Sun and Moon. Great design, unique typing, and it's also one of the only fast pokemon in that slow ass generation.

[@hamividz]

Hands down my favorite Pokémon content on KZbin. Keep killing it

[@Haydunn]

Much appreciated my friend 🤝

[@Piggly8w8]

7:38 I love how Ting-Lu's head just bops while it tries to keep it's eyes on Hitmontop

[@serge2cool]

7:45 it's mesmerizing watching Ting Lu vibing to Hitmontop's vibe!

[@leonwierenga4119]

That nickname Pioneer fits amazing. I keep laughing my ass off everytime you introduce the Iron Boulder

[@liamcullen3035]

Every spongebob reference has me rolling in laughter 😂

[@perfectdude8878]

Dang it! I wanted to see the drawings of what would’ve happened with Minior having a little birthday party 🎉

[@FailurezProduction]

I really enjoy the litte intros at the start. As someone that enjoys competitive batteling, without being invested in it myself, it is super useful info!

[@ES-dp6tw]

Minior was such a characterful little mon. Glad to see you give it some love :)

[@DSpiritwolf]

Minior is one of my favorite alolan designs. I know it's not that great but I appreciate you giving it a chance to shine 🙏

[@senorduck384]

Been watching this Man's content for almost 10 years. Keep it up bud. One of two PokeTubers i will watch.

[@Haydunn]

Thanks so much for the years of support my friend!

[@slimmpickens67]

Flygon's contributions made me so happy. I love that red eyed dragon.

[@tonythepokemonguy751]

Haydunn is amazing because of two things. 1- explains why a mon works and what do you with it. 2- funny names and funny commentary

[@BaronLickilicky]

Lovely content! Keep it up Haydunn :) All the best for the new year!

[@awesoman09]

"Its not a boulder its a rock" had me dying. Great vid

[@d3larosa07]

I love the shorts you have been uploading and how they tie into your battle content! This is truly awesome and keeps me excited on whats next!

[@lordmonarch2995]

That battle was beautiful! Both you and your opponent played VERY WELL! Kudos to both of you!

[@Speckmantelmade]

Minior is one of my absolute favorite mons and I'm so glad to finally have it on the switch. Was also really happy to see it being the literal star of this video. Super clutch win with the little guy!

[@harristhompson617]

this is the first vid of yours i have watched and its one of the best ive seen in a long time. keep it up, you're amazing!!!!!!

[@IronDino]

3:05 Just watching Ting-Lu's head track Hitmontop's back and forth movements...

[@skeethh]

Look forward to these videos everyday they’re my daily fix now. Hope you had a great Christmas haydunn!

[@bretonyuri]

@7:40 I love Ting lu's head bobbing back and forth watching that lil spintop dance

Love this channel. Simple explanation with the builds listed in description will defo subscribe

I love this little star boy, and it's shiny form is so clean

[@justinvincenttolentino]

Haydunn! Thank u for being one of the most consistent pokemon youtubers, ive been watching you for the past 6 years and your witty quips and jokes never fail to make my day better, thank u for growing up with me while i do everyday tasks

[@kylekeich8460]

these regular uploads have been so dope!!! thank you for the channel restoration 💖💖

[@nicksh1990]

Great video and glad someone shares my love for Minior. Had one in my main team in Sun and my god, it just swept. Also, as a new viewer, I'm so happy to hear the little Hoodie Allen intro!

[@nathanpriebe5490]

I’m loving these new intros where you explain the different mons in detail

[@KTDBOGKUSH]

That was a great end game sweep!! Entertaining video as always

[@joaogomes9405]

2:59 Something about ting lu jankily trying to follow hitmontop's dance moves made my lungs collapse

[@thePokemonmaster141]

Dude your videos are always so entertaining and educational everytime I always feel like trying new stuff because of you and the intros and quick and to the point

[@Haydunn]

Thanks so much I really appreciate that!

[@fr0sty_saiyan491]

I just used shell smash minior like 3 days ago on Pokemon showdown except I tried it doubles. Minor is a menace, I used a focus sash, rock slide, acrobatics, explosion, and shell smash set and he went crazy. Such a great pokemon for shell smash 😁

[@rayyt5566]

07:39 Look at Ting-Lun moving its head to follow Hitmontop LMAO🤣

[@teamcori]

Found this channel recently and I’m glad I stayed, love the content!

Welcome! Thanks so much

Recently starting using some....underutilized...Pokemon myself. Big kudos for pulling the W on this one, even with some luck!

I just found your content but I can already tell I’m gonna be a fan, keep up the good work!

[@mintymf]

thanks for the vid my goat

[@vidigonzales7164]

That was a great battle man, really fun to watch and happy the little birthday comet left this battle as a winner :)

[@Cyrath89]

Your vids really make me itch to go back to playing pokemon and breed the cool looking ones. I never played competitive or was able to get far with my 5IV pokes in the battle tree, but i enjoyed making the teams, breeding attacks and stuff. It was alway a bummer to get outmatched by the stronger pokemons, but maybe i just wasnt prepared enough

[@ssbbiscool]

Im so pumped! That intro was great and Minior was a great pick

[@KoonKlausGamer]

"Don't mess with me in my birthday" lol , luv it😂

[@emanuelortega819]

Love the intros for the ace of the episode , explaining the tech .

[@skar.696]

These intros are absolutely amazing. It gives plebs like me a great insight into different strategies. I have never played against another player, but it is a lot of fun to watch your videos and with these explanations i understand the choices a bit better. Keep up the good work!

[@Haydunn]

Thanks so much I work hard on these and wondered if theyre worth it

Nice video ! You really know how to captivate the audience, great to watch your strategic videos !

[@phyllotaxis]

I'm so happy they brought Minior back, one of those pokemon I've always wanted to shiny hunt (I missed out on gen 7). Never expected it to be such a beast in battles too.

[@swampygaming2975]

One of the few anime episodes that made me cry featured Minior. It broke my heart to see Poipole’s friend turn into space dust! 😢

[@reavershank8985]

Im so glad he is finally back. It was one of my favorites in sun and moon and he is still kicking ass now

[@Aryafortis]

Great video. Hopefully you can make one about Flygon and the changes it got.

[@Telepathyyyyyy]

TingusPingus, what an amazing name for Ting Lu. Immediately went back to that video to watch again and laugh

[@liamcullen3035]

Ooh, your opponent named their Goldengho “Chrysaor”! That’s a sick Greek mythology reference! ❤ When Medusa was decapitated by Perseus, two creatures emerged from the blood emanating from the stump of her neck. One was Pegasus, the famous winged horse. The other was Chrysaor, a man with a golden sword! Ok, I’m returning to the match now 😅

[@Haydunn]

Sick lol thanks for sharing!

[@liamcullen3035]

“Talos” the Metagross is from another fab Greek Myth! Talos is a giant bronze automaton that patrols the ocean around the island of Crete. This speedy giant fella was able to lap the massive island in a single day! He was eventually slain by the sorceress Medea, who put him to sleep and then drained all of his vital fluids through a weak point on the back of his leg.

[@liamcullen3035]

@@Haydunn No worries! Thanks for all the joy you bring to my days! And happy re-birthday to Minior, the cutest little rock there ever was! 😁

I had a shiny one on my indigo disk team while playing through the story c: love that lil’ fella

[@SpritePony]

I'm very much envious that you get access to both sets of paradoxes from the DLC. I cannot get my hands on the Iron duo, since no one is willing to give them up.

[@kundra5802]

Why is ting lu tracking hitmonlees movement so funny😂

[@Porygon2ning]

I used Minior back in the days of Sun and Moon onlone battles. The one I used I hatched a shiny Minior, so I used it to show off and destroy teams unprepared for the little meteor.

[@monkheroidoe]

Love this team!

[@boonerism]

the spongebob reference was too good 😂

[@JC-ql1bq]

Haydunn thank you so much for using Beyblade! Hitmontop is my absolute favorite mon so dope to see him in action. Excellent content as always, much love ✌🏼

[@eeveewithcoffee9554]

What about instead of white herb, you used an attack or speed boosting berry to make it even stronger? Especially since after the first hit, the meteor most likely won’t survive another hit with the lower defense

[@CottidaeSEA]

If he had the lowered defenses, he probably would've gotten knocked out by the Fickle Beam. It would work if Minior for whatever reason was slower before using the Shell Smash, but that just seems like a massive gamble given that it has 120 base speed in the core form. It'll naturally outspeed most opponents.

[@eeveewithcoffee9554]

@@CottidaeSEA I only watched the beginning break down of the Pokémon before commenting and I don’t think that that’ll happen in most matches, so I still feel like it would be better

[@CottidaeSEA]

@@eeveewithcoffee9554 With 120 base speed and +2 you're looking at only a handful of Pokémon that could outspeed it with scarf, so more speed is useless. More attack could be useful, but the only time I can think of when that would even matter is if the opponent has something that completely walls Minior and the extra power is necessary. However, are those cases more common than the cases where you'd get knocked out if -1 defenses? I don't think so. There's also the risk of not getting hit down to core form and not using the berry, leading to your Acrobatics being half power. That is probably even more rare, but it depends on if your opponent knows what Minior does.

[@samvestergaard3331]

damn this game was crazy so many threats and seemed like you were going to lose so fast but then the turn around was also insane really fun and well played

[@xidane]

Ting lu head track hitmontop dance is cute

[@nicholaskeith6614]

I’ve been blasting teams away with Minior using Shell smash, meteor beam, & holding a power herb

[@DarkShaman667]

Starting with gen 5 I tried making weird sets for weak pokes, but I suck at pokemon. I can't remember when I gave up on my idea and unsubbed from a lot of pokemon content creators. But you make my dreams come true, I live through you since I saw Joint, the Raticate, all those years ago. Thanks a lot!

[@destinypurpley]

I LOVE minior!!! it was so underrated in gen 7 but I always knew it could be great, and with TERA fairy it has dazzling gleam, making it a great special attacker, especially if you give it low defense and a sash.
