[@ItsShadanium]

1 Nah it has too many counters 2 tsareena 3 Kyogre

[@GmaxWailord1]

1. No (Wailord needs more competition) 2. Wailord 3. Wailord (if Wailord doesn’t qualify for being a fish, then imma go with Wailord’s partner, Relicanth)

[@magotape5220]

1). Yeah he should stay in his ocean with his friends 2).Lo Volcanion Will-o'-wisp 3).The Donbozo

[@Spiderplayer-it5tq]

[@Nako3]

Q1: Yes Q2: By playing UU Q3: Barraskewda

[@dracomenace]

[@Tr0lliPop]

If every team is practically forced to add a counter to a specific pokemon, I feel like that mon is banworthy

[@Oneandonly-xg6iu]

Gambit:

[@dracomenace]

Agreed

[@dracomenace]

If tera gets banned, gambit won't be as broken The good thing about it is that, it's counters are also considered good while you gotta go some niche routes for palafin

[@Gold-Dango]

The reason they let paladin in the tier is because there are a lot of mons that can naturally check it, like Ogerpon Wellspring, Rillaboom, Dozo, Sinistcha, Zapdos, Kyurem if it's banded, Alolamola etc etc There is probably a lot of mons that are being used to check it because people expect everyone to use it and thus start using things like volcanion in the video for example

[@dracomenace]

It has ways to beat them too, let's say for instance we choose the banded wave crash set in rain with tera water, I can see only alolo tanking a 2HKO from that move Then there can me other sets using tera (like tera dark throat chop for bulky ghosts)

[@Etherealdark2007]

All of these checks lose to kyurem btw( I think)

[@waaaaaaah]

​@@Etherealdark2007u know what beats them both tho? Except for my mom, there's also Zama (bless the dog OU would be in shambles without him)

[@echogaia1708]

No taunt? That's literally why it's broken.... Without taunt you can't beat any water type defensive walls....

[@stefperb9531]

The reason they let palafin in the tier is because it got 500k likes on twitter

[@fatewillarrive]

They need to make a villain form palafin

[@YosiahW]

Kingambit already exists though.

[@notshockwavedemon7543]

​@@YosiahW Kingambit is more of a Shogun than a supervillain

[@YosiahW]

@@notshockwavedemon7543 I know about the design inspiration. Just saying that those two words are almost synonymous based on Japanese history and Kingambit's competitive history.

Yesss!!!! A fellow aquatic Pokémon as the highlight!!!!!

[@greydientz582]

it is beyond me why they dont just ban tera at this point majority of the mons that either were banned from ou or are some of the best in the meta got that way because of how broken they are with tera.

[@dracomenace]

They already banned tera in nat dex, imo I don't think people are gonna love it, they'd rather have palafin banned than tera banned

[@MegaSpamziken1996]

YOOOOO INNER FOCUS DRAGONITE FINALLY BECAME A REAL THING 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

[@dracomenace]

Bruh, I forgot multiscale again?

[@Fungodlol]

I miss when palfin was allowed in shared power. But i am not surpised it got banned. Bro was escaping the radar forever. And GHALL U BUILT DIFFERENT 🔥🗣️

[@dracomenace]

Lol

[@trickyphase4119]

I think it's not too BROKEN it has counter play like rilaboom or sun teams with drought or even amogs gastrodon also just shuts down palafin not to mention it takes a turn to bring it the the field then out

[@dracomenace]

The thing is that rillaboom won't like to get hit by a wave crash under RAIN Similar for SUN team, although the drought weakens water moves but fire mons are still weak to water plus there is always coverage and team support

[@Argiopocalypse92]

That Zapdos rly would've liked some rain lol

[@dracomenace]

[@nicolasromani3523]

Urshifu RS > Palafin but yeah Palafin hits like a truck. Those wave crashes bring in the pain.

[@dracomenace]

160 attack does matter

[@paulmccartneyofc6883]

i was playing aaa for almost 2 hours and went on youtube to take a break, this was the first video i saw and i went right back to ps to play some ou.

[@dracomenace]

@@paulmccartneyofc6883 Superman is back in theatre and OU at the same time

[@theloomingdespair]

I'm interested to know the title of music you use, it matches the battles perfectly

[@dracomenace]

Check description

[@echogaia1708]

"espeed wont be enough to ko tsareena" oh yeah especially because it blocks priority with Queenly Majesty

[@dracomenace]

Oh right lmao

[@Shgfx10]

We got our aquatic superman back again😭

[@dracomenace]

Let GOOOOO

[@DragapultRules]

I feel the main problem with palafin is the bulk up jet punch drain punch taunt set being a nightmare for bulkier teams. It’ll skew the meta too offensively I think.

[@dracomenace]

Just run tera ghost oger

[@pyroStudies9]

bud u forgot multiscale. I literally died to a tbolt and was liteally wondering tf

[@dracomenace]

Lmao, I had like alot of battles with, didn't even realize lol

[@MelvinEgbadon-o8k]

Yooooo. W

[@dracomenace]

Tysm man

[@crmarcus63017]

If Tera goes away then things would be less volatile. Tera makes every turn feel like a 50/50 of whether or not the other Pokémon is going to set up and sweep you.

[@dracomenace]

Kinda true

[@PokediskoTCG]

nah back to ubers please

[@dracomenace]

Lol

[@airam1721]

We need the Great Z (or whatever was his name) in OU

[@dracomenace]

Great what?

[@airam1721]

@dracomenace the one quagsire trainer from horizons

[@smthcreative938]

tera electric probably goes hard on pala

[@dracomenace]

For bulky water types

[@Freaky_james]

While it does have alot of "counters" in OU, most of them don't have reliable recovery, like Dozo and W-pon And even these so called counters, don't like taking banded wave crash, especially after a tera Palafin could be unstoppable on hazard and knock off spam, so i think it should be banned.

[@dracomenace]

Agreed

[@ogmechsftw]

How does nifalap beat volcanion tbh

[@TrippyAxis]

aw hell nahhh they let that 160 base attack pokemon who's probably destroyed many tiers into OU???

[@dracomenace]

Then again kart with that 180+ attack is OU

[@Deifus]

​@@dracomenacekartana doesn't have STAB priority though

[@dracomenace]

@Deifus The fact is that water STAB is much better

[@WyattBehm]

Bulky tsareena kinda walls this mon as queenly majesty or any priority blocking ability can just wall it

[@dracomenace]

@@WyattBehm tera fight CC gonna hit hard

KZbinr says Palafin is op. Only shows wins vs players with 0 experience

[@dracomenace]

Everyone is laddering for the reqs, they are indeed good players (half and half)

[@luxlumine8602]

Next time go against someone with high elo dude. There is a reason why your channel never made it big

[@dracomenace]

Lmao, check the suspect test and see how you need to get reqs (I actually fought the top players who were laddering, the low ladder is not what you think) Just watch this video, one of my high elo vids (I have a couple of them) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmbOZpWun5afa7ssi=9OcP3xtJhe_rzvLU I occasionally play high ladder with a competitive team or when new DLC drops For theme teams, I generally go with arout 1500s ladder Before YT, I only played purely competitive OU, no OMs and what not Btw I am pretty satisfied where my YT channel is going

[@echogaia1708]

1500 isn't high ladder, it's mid
