Surely this just has to be a meme now with Aaron seeing how many different rooms he can film each episode in 😂

[@jakemeyer277]

Ok so I’m not the only one e who noticed this. At first I thought maybe he moved places. Then I noticed he was filming I. Different rooms every episode.

He just walks around the city asking random places for empty rooms to record in. 🤣

@platinum_ap6836 the main one I had was a fake trick room psyspam thay can do trick room if needed. It's been really consistent. But I use all kinds of random teams I make or copy ones I see. This has felt like the most diverse format yet if you are not playing at to high of a level.

[@jewii3824]

i like the current format. Never before (well, not literally, but very few) have I seen electabuzz and magmar used so much as follow me users, and so many different mons just in general. I like to see more variety and tactics, and that in my opinion is only possible when the most OP mons are not legal.

[@gavin6070]

Rillaboom really has been in a great spot since the beginning of this regulation, yet it seems to keep getting better, it is really such a great pokemon

[@al_kaufman]

Been watching these in the background while I work, thanks for keeping this up, Aaron! Fun to hear your commentary and gameplay

[@somebody4094]

a feel a bit guilty watching them while at lesson but they are sooo boring

[@CarlosAgarie]

The Basc + Kingambit lead is very strong against other weather teams because usually Kingambit is slower than lots of other leads so if you both switch in your weather setters, you end up winning the weather war. It's not a sure win (p2 inci from the marco sun team can be difficult, as -1 Basc doesn't pick KOs in rain anymore) but it gives you a big advantage. Against Zard+Jumpluff you can switch KG for Peli, Tera Grass Flip Turn > Zard to ignore Rage and send Buzz to Follow Me their Sleep Powders. The MU is tough as a lot can be decided by sleep powder/heat wave/overheat/hurricane in sun connecting or not 🫠 I used the same team at LAIC, it's so fun! Finished 41st :)

[@CybertronVGC]

Love the insight! Thanks for sharing and congrats on a great run at LAIC

[@mewtationssb]

Rillaboom Electabuzz looks and feels immensely strong right now and I expect it to continue being strong through the end of reg H. It’s honestly really nice to see you post videos of these really strong meta teams, as getting to witness an incredible player like yourself pilot is an amazing gift for many of us in the community. Keep up the good work Aaron! QOTD: Somewhat? I’m excited to go back to using the turtle again, but I want to give Zamazenta an honest shot this series too. I might attend Atlanta which I believe is in the last month of reg G 2 so I need to give it some thought.

[@fishnutz5196]

Zama is super fun to play with just such a cool mon. I have a snow Kyruem-White offmeta team i want to play around with

I am absolutely NOT excited to be fighting Urshifu again.

[@scottcrysel]

Dang Loaded Dice Rilla is pretty saucy. That extra power from grassy terrain makes it pretty lethal

[@zachybeats]

Great video as always! QOTD: I’m going to miss Reg H, I don’t have many options available for legendaries because I’m a newer Pokemon player, so I feel like my team comp building options feel much more limited than in Reg H where strong Pokemon are more accessible to players who don’t own Sword and Shield and haven’t traded for version exclusive legendaries (I have Violet and don’t have Koraidon, Raging Bolt, or Gouging Fire).

[@tomcattko]

You get access to a lot of legendaries via the BBQ quest rewards from Snacksworth it just needs toy to do the solo and group Res BBQ quests.

[@bobbymartinez6765]

Thwackey surviving the +6 body press from full health was the best part of the video for me and made my day

[@nvo_beejay]

Cool Rillaboom set! Would've never thought of that with Archaludon.

[@xenocide1307]

I think PopBomb Maus is still the best set up for Arch since Maus just has so much utility, but on its own PopBomb is a delete button for half the format. QotD: Not excited for the return of Reg G, Reg H has been way too much fun. I was really skeptical at first but have come to thoroughly appreciate this format. Overall I'll be more excited when we get a 2 restricted mon format.

I'm really excited to go back to reg g! After watching worlds I wanted to play competitive so I played all of the dlcs for the legendaries. I never got to use them though lol

[@Sparkarnation]

I mainly used that tactic for Rillaboom and Archalodon for Regulations H! Too bad I got busy though.

[@Drop0sauce]

If I get Grafaiai to top 100 will you feature my team

[@Zyr0-z3r]

I've been using a very similar team but with sneasler over Kingambit

[@Caw50]

This looks way better than the loaded dice breloom set I tried lol, breloom gets technician boost but not grassy terrain boost, plus it's way less tanky and has a 4x weakness. Close combat is great to have but without tailwind up the breloom struggles a lot

[@lilpoetat]

Thanks 🎉

[@zachuvgc8660]

For the QOTD, I'm pretty neutral about going back to Reg G. There's a lot of stuff in Reg H I still wanted to try because this format develops so fast. But Reg G was actually really enjoyable for me and there's a few teams I wanted to try but didn't have time with all the tournament prep I was doing at the time

[@Wendigeist]

Reg H has been fun but I’m excited to watch Sneasler take the back seat again hopefully

[@Forbranna]

QOTD, very much. I've really been missing raging bolt a lot. I couldn't figure out how to do well without it. Although I'm finally getting the hang of reg H, so it will be bittersweet.

[@alsknbullwrm]

poor thwackey:(

[@fishnutz5196]

Im actually kinda excited for restricteds to come back. I have a really fun Kyruem-White team i want to play around with. H will be missed though its been fun, favourite team this regulation has to be Solar Power Czard though

[@Arideariel]

QOTD: I'm a new player so I'd say I'm excited to try legendaries for the first time but I'm sad to see Pokemon with a lower power level go back to the PC. I hope TPCi incorporate non-legendary regulations every year because there's so much space for creativity there!

[@basicallyph0r]

It seems reg H has been going on forever. It's getting boring, and it's time for restricted mons to come back!

[@SnarkyShane]

QotD: I dunno, maybe like a 5/10. I peaked in top 200 on Showdown with a Rayquaza team that I REALLY liked and it'll be fun to run it back and try to push even higher, but it was a very clearly defined meta and I could see it getting stale fast. Reg H has been a blast with all the variety and so many different archetypes having success, I'll be pretty sad to see it go

[@kitoesa4000]

Def sad to see reg H go, hope it comes back. That said, I prefer reg G to a two restricted meta personally so excited to see it return as well

[@valun360]

QotD: I am not looking forward to returning ro reg g at all. Reg H has been one of my favorite formats ever, and I have never enjoyed restricted formats as much.

[@GOOILERS123]

Great video! In game 3 wouldn’t have tera fairy arch with the side bullet seed have worked as well into their first play?

[@CybertronVGC]

Sorry, I'm a bit confused - isn't that the play I went for in game 3? If you meant game 4, then yep, certainly would have been a better option!

[@treygreypaws3689]

I really enjoyed Reg H beside Pelipper Arch teams, i hate them especially pelipper. But im ready for Reg G, i get to crush with Zama team amd perfect my Koraidon team

[@justinmartinez2345]

I face that game 2 opponent last Sunday but they can't beat my wheezing

[@slimtopher]

game 7. GG Cybertron. feels like I get hit with simple beam whenever we battle lol. I had steel Tera whims lol. I think if I did hit the steel Tera on the double up into whims I could’ve possibly won. Also I didn’t bring typhlo because there’s just so much counter play to it on that team. Typh only would’ve been good in psychic terrain & sun which is just a pain to manage when you have rain, grass terrain, & priority

[@angelitabecerra]

QOTD: I much prefer Reg H and am not excited to go back to Reg G. Reg H has been hella fun and creative what with the over all power level being lower. Not looking forward to the same Paradox and legendary mons reigning supreme again

[@eddie_valentine]

I've been watching for a bit now but only picked up playing vgc of my own with reg H. the lower overall power level seemed more interesting and approachable to me. I don't know if i'm ready to deal with miraidon and calyrex, not to mention raging bolt and urshifu

[@slicedmittens]

Would have loved to see regulation H live on until the next game release, the creative team building has been so entertaining 😢

[@gabebaum6527]

QotD: I'm honestly not very excited for the return of Reg G, I love Reg H and didn't find Reg G to be very fun the first time around, what with the meta being so centralized around like 5 restricteds and so many other pokemon being nigh mandatory on any given team.

The mere fact that you have ALL these different teams is why I'm not looking forward to Reg G. It'll just be legendary teams the same ones...boring

[@grmancool]

why are we going back to G instead of going to regulation I?

[@jmh8817]

[@UberAwesomeMan9]

I'm super sad to see regulation H go away. It brought so many new mons and starts into online battles. Now with the legends and paradox coming back it's going to go back to the same 15-20 ish mins on every single team ranked matches or not. I'm just getting back into playing pokemon and want to try online battles again but I know I'll have no chance of winning with UU and NU mons because of how drastically more powerful the currently banned mons are

[@MartyrPandaGaming]

To this day, I don't get the Basculegion pick over something like Barraskewda. The only advantages I see for it is it is decently fast in Trick Room and it's marginally better defenses give it a small chance to survive things Barraskewda can't. I just don't see those two things outweighing the speed and move pool advtanages that Barraskewda has. It has a ton of Tera options because of that deeper move pool as well. Slap a Scarf on it, with Propeller Tail and it's still fast, plus it doesn't matter if your opponent wants to Follow Me or Rage Powder and since *_that_* is such an underutilized ability, it catches so many people off guard. "Why yes, my gish is using Tera-Ground, Life Orb Boosted, Drill Run. No, it doesn't care why your mushroom is so angry and stoo crying Wishcash; someone will love you one day."

[@CarlosAgarie]

I tried using Barraskewda a bunch and while the extra Atk is amazing, Wave Crash / Last Respects are simply too good to pass on, as there are OHKOs that Basculegion can get that Barraskewda can't. And you're right that with their base Speed you really don't need Swift Swim and Propeller Tail is better. Another advantage of Basc is that ghost is a great defensive type right now resisting both Sneasler STABs and the immunity to Fake Out allows it to play agressive from the start.

[@Soizit_Blindy]

As purely a viewer I find it a bit sad that the circuit will go back to Reg G soon. Reg H looks so much more fun and is more fun to watch then Reg G cause more Mons are viable. I would honestly like to see Reg H without starters so we can see more non starter Mons shine. I feel like that would be fun to watch and probably also play. Reg G just seemed to much more centralized and less creative. Again, Im only a spectator tho.
