This is my FAVORITE TEAM right now... • Pokemon Scarlet/Violet VGC Battles

[@CybertronVGC]

I've been without internet at home the past few days but have been craving to make content LOL so I hotspotted Wi-Fi off my phone to record these battles and then uploaded the video at school 😂 Hope you all enjoy!!!

[@phypesmash6154]

[@Lamentationsofapoory]

You're such a real one. This commitment to quality is insane. Thanks for the upload.

[@elijones1007]

Glad you are back

[@angelitabecerra]

Oh wow! That's commitment. Hope you get your wifi back soon and that the hotspotting didn't kill your data/phone bill too much. Take care Aaron

[@CoilingAnxiety]

You’re the GOAT ❤

[@partysodown]

I saw Wolfey get beat by this team in his Dipplin video this week, so its cool so see a breakdown so soon of how it works!

[@rubiconprime1429]

That first game was kind of funny with you pointing out the ghost-Tera shadow claw Tyranitar, because I just happened to click on the old Houndoom team video from I think the first regulation and the first battle in that video also used a ghost-tera shadow claw Tyranitar that caught you by surprise too

[@timothymoore8549]

Ill always love Haxorus my little kid brain could not fathom how cool a battle axe with legs was.

[@itsjoeygalaxy]

Hey Aaron! I was the Thundurus-T player in the video :) the flinch was annoying but you played super well! Been trying out a bunch of rentals just to get into the fundies mode before DLC! GG again!

[@bobbymartinez6765]

my jaw dropped as low as aaron's in the last game from the surprise, perfect fissure

[@TomsSauce]

Salamence has pretty recently became my favourite dragon type, so honestly seeing how it was used at Toronto was sick

[@CitywideJ]

Yep same, i have always loved special Salamence.

[@Spilner15]

QOTD: Kingdra, so much versatility and great design from Johto! Salamence might be second on my dragons list. Great battles, Aaron - super high level play!

[@ChompyGM]

Hi, im the last opponent, the Galarian Zapdos one hahaha. GGs, that was a really good game ^^. Fissure Dondozo is for Konmo-o, Goodra, Okidogi, DD Roaring moon and other set up pokemon but you forced me to use it against Gholdengo hahahaha, that was a wild turn with de icicle crash miss and fissure. One more time GG!! (Sorry if my English was bad 😅)

[@CybertronVGC]

GG!!!

[@luigicuau22]

Chompy is GOD in Spain, is the master of the Universe

[@daniloferreirac7939]

you showed so much confidence in these games! the tera dragon plus salamence in front of a sleepy flutter was bold 😂 i was honestly expecting it to wake up

[@hisfriend2892]

Salamence has always been my favorite. I've been running him since reg D first with life orb and now with rocky helmet. Lots of versatility

[@ben_mxller]

that choice scarf salamence under tailwind: very fast me clicking on a new Cybertron video: even faster

[@DrPupenfahrten]

I successfully predicted a bunch of your opponent’s moves this battle. I’m a total noob at competitive Pokémon, but I’m learning more with these videos. Great stuff.

[@TheMemeMachineMatt]

Just got my missus into it. She's only doing casual but watching her switch on and get the predictions is amazing. I suck at competitive but it's great seeing new players get the hang of it.

[@GWFanSoftcoreBrony]

I remember back in the day playing Pokémon Stadium and going against a Rapidash that not only outsped my three-member team but connected three Horn Drills in a row. That was the worst kind of loss.

[@dbull620]

QOTD: I'm going with Haxorus. While it is certainly overshadowed competitively by its pseudo-legendary brethren, Haxorus is nonetheless a force to be reckoned with and has been a staple on my main story teams since its introduction in gen 5.

[@davidbeer5015]

Fun fact: Haxorus isn’t quite a pseudo legendary. Like Flygon, it doesn’t have the typical 600 Base Stat Total, sitting only at 540 total.

[@dbull620]

@@davidbeer5015 I'm aware, I more meant it was overshadowed by the psuedo legendaries because of this BST difference.

[@davidbeer5015]

@dbull620 my apologies, I misunderstood the “brethren” portion. I see what you mean now.

[@nomvialjones529]

I can’t believe I ran into cybertron! I was game three. I’m coming for that rematch Aaron!:)

[@CybertronVGC]

GG!

[@wishythefishy]

It's time to go to bed... it's time to brush my teeth.... it's time for "hey guys, Aaron Cybertron Zheng here and today I'm back with another episode of Road to Ranked..." Shelgon, he is friend shaped.

[@davidbeer5015]

Ooo, I thought this team was so cool when I saw Justin Tang using it. So glad a rental code was put up to try it (it being all Pokémon obtainable natively in SV is a huge plus for me). QOTD: Favorite dragon…hm, that’s a tricky one. Salamence is great and viable, Flygon and Tyrantrum are really cool designs…(trick question, the answer is my Tera Dragon Blaze Breed Tauros that I just never changed the Tera Type on /s)

[@scottcrysel]

Hydreigon and Garchomp are both top tier for me. I also love Mega Salamence's design. I really wish they would give Salamence Aerilate as a hidden ability these days to give it another playstyle since we can't have the mega

[@mr.k1946]

Hydreigon has been my all time favorite pokemon since it came out in gen 5.

[@deadmanpop5240]

Qotd: Rayquza is the God of dragons to me. I love the wingless dragon design. Reminds me of Haku from spirited away

[@cethxceth4751]

Although I lost my job recently I appreciate your content fam it's been a tough time for me lately but I know that coming to watch your content cheers me up Aaron and to answer your question on my favorite dragon type...that would be Flygon ❤

[@CybertronVGC]

Thanks for watching man, I'm rooting for you - sending you good vibes

[@cethxceth4751]

@@CybertronVGC Thanks 😊 🙏 Fam I really appreciate the love and support,it gave me hope ...I accept those good vibes ✨ 😌 👌🏾

[@eonblue9713]

Funny that the good icicle crash misses and then the yolo fissure connects 😂

[@kvnbrrn]

the fear in your face from that fissure connect 😂 really good games as always!

[@youssefenouiti]

Nice!! Cybertron coming through clutch even without Wi-Fi 💯 also Choice Scarf Tailwind OP

[@wowcharlottee]

the king is back!!! qotd: it’s gotta be reshiram. built a team featuring it with weakness policy back in the Sw/Sh days and it was a BEAST!

[@cyberrb25]

1:00:00 I remember watching someone with a Defiant Adrenaline Orb Thundurus (now I'm second guessing if it was Tornadus instead tho), and it was a massacre.

[@jlec92]

QOTD: Garchomp. Gen 4 was when I really started getting into competitive so it holds a special place in my heart. It’s got a great design, great stats, and has managed to stay fairly relevant!

[@sergel02]

Altaria was my favorite dragon Pokémon since way back during its introduction, and still my main fave.

[@gund3637tm]

Not my favorite dragon types but Hydreigon really grew on me back in reg A and I’m using roaring moon on my team now, it’s pretty versatile and knock off was a great buff 💪

[@Laughingwithtravii]

just got done making the foods, checked yt just to see if there was any new vids from my favs and there was!!

[@floralpatterns21]

Salamence has been my favorite Pokemon since I was 6!! So hyped to see it on a strong team in the current season

[@VoermanIdiot]

QOTD: At first I thought I'd say Kommo-O because of how versatile it is, but being a contrarian now that Kommo-O is famous, obviously I can't just say I like something that's popular. Even if I like the big guy. So, I say Haxorus, because it has such a weird move pool and I've mentioned it a few times in previous videos but back in Series 1, I enjoyed running Haxorus next to a water type back when Bulk Up Ceruledge was running rampant to make them tera grass to avoid getting one-shot, only for me to do Tera Bug Haxorus and first impression the Ceruledge into atoms. With Life Orb, if I recall the calc correctly then they would have to be 252 health, 252 defense with an intimidate on the Haxorus to survive the first impression. Given nobody else was doing that stuff to my knowledge, that was my own bit of personal tech and this was the first time I was playing VGC outside of a few battles in SwSh's final series so I've been a little proud of that since. Is it a good play? No, obviously not. But it was *my* play and it worked fantastically against what was normally a really rough matchup for my team.

[@zeltraxrusso3728]

The latest team and player is Chompy, who won the Spain Premier Challenger last week. You can visit and watch the same match from their perspective on their channel.

[@jayhades8329]

@chompyGM grande... #ChompyGM con su zapdos de galar

[@GamingGuyTy429]

I've seen a few other Poketubers run this team, but no one does it like Aaron. Great work as always 🍿

[@shad0w7021]

As someone that picked up Gen IX to try and get back into competitive after a 7 year break, I was super disheartened to find out about Reg D and onward, making it sound like it practically required old games that I didn't have, let alone time to play through them. This Team looks so within reach! Definitely going to give it a shot. And for favorite Dragon type, gotta go Dialga on that front. Garchomp if you want a non-legendary. :P

[@KaizikuM]

Needed another video the best content creator, and here we are! With SALAMENCE!!!!!

[@aaronyoutube95]

I’m so glad you’re back🎉

[@smashtheskylands5074]

Very good team i love salamence and i was watching the stream from chompy the guy of game 7 and it was so funny xd

[@Sometingnice]

Bro I remember watching Toronto and seeing the gold live a sucker punch and winning the set 😂😂 I was so hyped

[@loghof5133]

The fissure hitting but icicle crash missing is hilarious

[@terrychemo]

My boy Salamence finally getting some love

[@nicholasmorgan9397]

Dragapult and Hydreigon are my favorite dragons. The Pult is a sneaky little guy to not mess with, and ol Three Heads will always be near and dear to me.

[@trevorgray2287]

Everyone loves when Gholdengo makes it rain, but when Pelliper does it, he "ruins the bachelor party"...

[@jasonarreguin1047]

Dragalge is my favorite. I just think he's neat; a leafy sea dragon who's literally a leafy dragon, who lives in the sea, but is also poisonous because why not I guess.

[@MasterPigeonXD]

QOTD: My favourite dragon is the undisputed King of dragons, Garchomp. Nerfed in SV, usually meta defining and almost single-handedly encouraged the existence of fairy types.

[@geoffreycaffyn6760]

qotd: haxorus easily, iris was always one of my favorite characters so seeing her axew evolve into such a best was always awesome

[@jenji333]

Hahahahh cant blame you, so brilliant. Have an awesome week and gl with your internet issues

[@BravadoVGC]

Regidrago imo is one of the coolest dragon types currently ^-^

[@finalGambitShedinja]

i have been looking for exactly this kind of team i love salamence

[@GamingGuyTy429]

QOTD: Rayquaza. My first Pokémon game ever was Pokémon Ruby and seeing him for the first time (and pretty much every time after that) is something I'll never forget. Runner ups are Dragonite, and Dragapult ❤

[@deanofett]

My favorite dragon type pokemon is Goodra, glad they got a glow up this gen

[@Roman-ey8sk]

I saw the thumbnail and immediately clicked 🎉

[@Midwest_ern]

QOTD: Flapple! Apple worm/wyrm is such a clever pun and design.

[@jongarrish7834]

Cybertron thoughts on pairing a salamance with a similar build with a prankster sabeleye with priority gravity to guarantee hurricane to hit

[@TYGKO.]

Why do we think no one uses rock head; wild charge, flare blitz, 😢head smash and protect H-arcanine. Is it too linear strategically?? Not enough defenses?? I feel like I’d love to see a recoil based h-arcanine

[@eamk887]

Intimidate is probably too good of an ability to anyone consider Rock Head.

[@Pokemazda]

I made an competitive Rock Head Hisuean Arcanine with Head Smash, Fire Blitz, Wild Charge and Howl/Protect (was experimenting still with the last move). I even have the Arcanine a bit more bulky and somewhat less attack because of the lack of intimidate. That's why I also experimented with Howl. But sadly... I've done miltiple battles with it and Arcanine isn't bulky enough without intimidate most of the time.. it helpen more of the teammates also if it had intimidate. I've experimented with Expert Belt as item for extra damage because you need bulk. Its a difficult Pokémon to pivot in my opinion without Itimidate. Sadly enough :( I also whished Rock Head was more viable.

[@canuckadian4733]

QOTD - Mega Charizard x is my favorite Pokemon of all-time, Mega Rayquaza coming 2nd. Dragons are my favorite type!

[@randallroyall7684]

QOTD: Probably biased because Emerald was the first Pokémon game I ever played, but Salamence and Rayquaza! GOATs

[@dnkfcr]

Dragapult has to be the best design for a dragon ghost type imo. They did the concept of dragapult really well

[@lamandyu]

QOTD: Favourite Dragon: Applin! why not loving a apple. look forward to its final evolution.

[@TheBigManBear]

My favorite dragon? Appletun. Don't know why and don't really care. But of all the beastly and monstrous dragon pokemon with edgey and over-the-top designs, mine is a chubby apple lizard with flappy ear/eyes.

[@grifffourn8200]

My favorite dragon is probably Dratini. He's just a little guy. Although, Roaring Moon and Bax are rad as hell.

[@nathanhale7400]

favorite dragon is also my favorite Pokemon, Flygon!

[@afroman6725]

R.i.p. flygon, you were a few generations too early o7

[@JingCongTee]

All time Fav is Garchomp. Although its 4x weak to ice

[@AuraStrikeAce]

QOTD: My fave Dragon is between Flygon and Latias

[@snakeeyes9034]

Qotd Dragonite is clearly the best dragon ever, his big derpy body is hilarious and his tiny wings and deep empty eyes make it.

[@rooislangwtf]

QOTD: My fav dragon might just be Dragonite. I quite like Kommo-o, but it was so bad until SV that I had really mixed feelings about it. Gonna be sad when tera leaves and it becomes bad again (seriously why isn't one of its types Steel so that its at least neutral to Fairy).

[@dynamiik-4168]

QOTD: Mega Sceptile my favorite dragon type without a doubt🔥

[@bee.tm.]

QOTD: My favorite dragon type is Giratina!! I am in love with its design and the cutscene with Giratina and Cyrus is PEAK. Also, have you ever thought about starting a Discord server for your channel? It would be really cool to have a place to get advice for teambuilding from the community!

[@souleymanediawara7714]

finally a team with no weakness

[@salamanderspeak4268]

My favorite dragon is Flygon! I hope he gets some competitive love some time soon! (He won’t)

[@azizsazali6076]

Im a big fan of you but a but sad that u didnt include our battle :'( but i guess u did mention the dark urshifu u had trouble with in the into

[@thebel-boy13]

Off the top of my head, Haxorus is a dragon I really like.

[@ChannyTheMan]

Garchomp always has been my favorite

[@haydeniskander5306]

Rillaboom would have needed 124 Speed (148 Speed EVs) to out-speed this Choice Scarf Salamence in Tailwind. Are Rillaboom typically that fast?

[@davidbeer5015]

I only scrolled through, but I didn’t see a Rillaboom outspeed outside of Fake Out, which has priority. I might’ve missed it though. Typically, at least last I heard, Rillabooms at one point we’re aiming for low speed to try and make sure Grassy Terrain goes up if sent out at the same time as Indeedee

[@MasterPigeonXD]

Game one opponent realllly messed up, rip. Wouldve been nice to see a 2012 team do well.
