This NON-META team is CRAZY. • Pokemon Scarlet/Violet VGC Battles

[@CybertronVGC]

Hey guys, I'm on vacation right now hence why I haven't been posting as much lately but I did take some equipment to make videos in my spare time. Not recording on my usual desktop setup though so apologies for a slight decline in video quality. This team was super cool and I knew I had to try it out so hope you enjoy - miss you all!

[@itztaytay2]

No problems at all man, enjoy the vacation!

[@angelitabecerra]

Enjoy your vacation! And no worries. I was starved for your content so was rewatcging some of your old vids whilst I waited for new ones 🤗

[@mr.truffles9294]

Enjoy your vacation

[@SpicyMango7]

No worries!! Enjoy your vacation 😊

[@block_the_]

I know the algorithm is a harsh master... Leave the equipment at home and enjoy yourself! Love the video/team though 😊

49:07 that Comfey-read was just Chef‘s kiss

[@groudon3672]

Aaron still out here with the mind reads... His ability to correctly call the back pokemon AND exactly when they want to switch in is always astonishing.

[@sestinaVGC]

THAT GAME 3 HARD READ ON COMFEY SWITCH-IN WAS BEAUTIFUL

[@Mossbergg]

For anyone wondering about the Glimmora calc since Aaron didnt show it after the game here it is: 36+ Atk Glastrier High Horsepower vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Glimmora: 176-208 (92.6 - 109.4%) -- 50% chance to OHKO

[@asglelele]

Never thought glimmora was that bulky

[@maskerade7258]

@@asglelele to be fair, Glimmora never lives that without a defense boosting nature. It is a guaranteed K.O. without it, even if you are max HP, max Def

[@Endershock1678]

@@asglelele They didn’t used to be, because they used to all run sash, but now since they all run Power Herb, they are all heavily invested in bulk

[@Endershock1678]

@@maskerade7258 To be fair, even with Max Defense, living a 4x effective move coming off Glastrier’s attack stat should qualify any Pokémon as bulky.

[@hammerbros20]

I love how you react to opposing unique strategies. You always seem impressed and want to improve your play. Very entertaining watching you!

[@CodenameSteev]

So the general idea here is a turn 1 click on the video and then Cybertron having super-effective moves like “Entertain” and “Inform” just puts so much pressure on you to keep watching that you really have no control, right. Then you couple that with his hidden ability “VGC Goat” and you can see why there’s just no stopping this combo… 😅 In seriousness you’re the absolute best man keep up the amazing work 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

[@partyrockerzz]

love it how they instantly ran away after their comfey fainted. would've loved to see the battle plays out.

[@Willo22222]

I absolutely love the videos where you run into such unique teams, makes it even funnier here when your running an anti meta team and not running into the heavy meta teams. Live the content as always

[@Endershock1678]

QOTD: Reg F is an absolutely crazy format in a good way, it feels like the meta is changing and evolving so fast, with so many viable Pokémon and archetypes, it really feels like everything is viable and I’ve never seen so many weird teams succeed, both in major tournaments and online ladder. Feels like the perfect format to cap off before we head into the chaos that’s going to be a restricted format.

[@DFPWeaponX]

Thank you for taking time out of your vacation.

[@mattstork2203]

Snorlax was probably thick fat

[@PlatinumHowler]

Gotta counter all the Articunos on the ladder :P

[@masonoverton4063]

That glimmora loving game 4 actually BLEW my mind. Like what the hell? When the sitrus popped my jaw dropped lol

[@mr.mime805]

Rental code in description is off. See at 1:07 for actual code :)

[@Hannah11876]

Zhang, ping this comment. The Rental Code in the description is wrong.

[@jaykirizz219]

I love unique and creative teams like this. So much fun. Thanks for showcasing it, Aaron!

[@mattfurda366]

Always love seeing the ice horse thrive 🤩 hope you’re enjoying your vacation, Aaron!

[@wario1226]

I loved seeing that coaching Zapdos-G in game 3. Lately, I've had my mind on an upcoming restricted format and I really fell in love with the concept of coaching/tailwind Defiant Zapdos as a partner for Zacian, to dissuade and punish intimidate plays. Glad to know someone else was cooking something similar.

[@FutureOverYou]

Damn, that game 3 read in the Comfey coming on was so next level. Like magic. Great vid.

[@Blood_Ronin]

As someone who works overnights, I love seeing the new videos when I start to pull reports. It makes my nights go by faster.

[@MayVeryWellBeep]

Prankster Screens + Set up feels like such a signature of the Japanese style to me. I wonder if it's because there are fewer open team sheet events on the Japanese circuit, and perhaps this means players really find a lot of value in the extra bulk and in having ways to slow down the pace of the battle and scout for what your opponent will do, heal off damage and that sort of thing.

[@scottcrysel]

G-Moltres and Glastrier, two of my all-time faves, on the same team?! It's like the SwSh days! Very cool QOTD: Reg F has been awesome, maybe my favorite of SV. So many viable strats

[@ryanrickenbacher7000]

Snorlax was definitely Think Fat so High Horsepower would do more and also be more accurate

[@VerbalLearning]

with Comfey on this team i think you might actually be able to run Steel Beam or whatever that move is called on Archaludon.

[@KimballDonald]

The Comfey read was play of the video, my goodness! Well done!

[@ghstlings]

aaron cybertron zheng thanks for being the goat. school is 100x more bearable with these videos

[@Nova-Zer0]

*Q.O.T.D: Regulation-F, which I just saw another Comment noting about seeing bizarre Team structures, has been quite a rollercoaster. Trying to expect SOME expectations to unexpected combos, dealing with the Paradox - Sacred Beasts, and continuing to try and climb the Rankings is always fun but unnerving. (This said I’m climbing through Great Ball - Tier currently, yet the Match-Up’s lately have still been nuts.)

[@benso9235]

I knew you were on vacation but still checked daily for new vids haha, glad you uploaded one my man

[@TheGreenFinnur]

What a great set of games with a super fun team, amazing player Aaron always great to see you play

[@ashtonknecht2277]

Thank you for your videos! They are always great and relaxing!

[@fleeper20]

Genuinely cant wait to see you start making regulation G content :D super excited

[@SnarkyShane]

Shout outs to Aaron for being the guest puzzle-master over on Pokedoku the other day. Truly a man of many talents

[@N6gold2fire]

What a wild set of games in this one. Poison stall teams, Coaching Zapdos, and Snorlax showing up out of nowhere!

[@ZzsiegzZ]

The comfey read in game 3 was nuts. I feel like you know that was coming since you were playing comfey yourself with this team

[@ThrowawayMavis]

i remember playing into this team in the GC, i won because i had archaludon and struggle bug/fake tears on illumise which seemed to be a very good matchup surprised to see it feature here, glad they got to perform so well!

[@AlessandroAntonetti-v2r]

Thanks for the Pokedoku, it was fun! Did a score of 27 🔥

[@lavender3084]

omg 💜 sableye and comfey are some of my favourites!

[@justme14357]

grats! worlds invite is sick :D

[@satyrisci]

Sableye 😍 This is such a unique and cool team

[@DoubleD.Racing]

That game 3 read makes you an absolute legend my man…

[@alexhill2495]

This looks like a TCG thumbnail xD Comfey + Sableye the Lost Zone gamers

[@battalion8736]

Wow, very crazy video, some very interesting matches

[@DonYagamoth]

Oh, I've recently ran into that team on PS, it was very intriguing. Unfortunately I didn't see much of it, since I just happened to have a strong matchup into it with my oddball team, but it seemed fascinating Great to see it now here :)

[@Link-pr9id]

Just finished watching PokeSports go against this team twice in a row in his newest vid lol, whata coincidence

[@incredibledn]

middle part and earings are doing wonders for you my guy

[@Dr.Goobenshmirtz]

49:38 As blunder would say, GOD PLAYS

[@j0monkeey]

Sableye is my top 3 mons in glad it’s getting some love in gen 9

[@ShivaSarkar-oh8iz]

Happy Holi to all my fellow Indian's 😊❤💙💚💛💜

[@harleyjo4875]

I’ve seen like three Comfey Shorts from other creators, I was wondering when they would show up here!

[@sjamalamadingdong7901]

Why no trickroom on comfy? It seems so much better with the glacier as a trickroom sweeper

[@Unidentifiabelle]

Anyone see that Kalos teaser behind Aaron? Love ya Aaron, cant wait for the next "Road to Ranked!"

[@joserockzvgc]

Calcing his Glimora to survive a random high horsepower from uncommon Glastrier is an absolute champ move 😂

[@majortrash9190]

That read in game 3 was insane DAMN!!

[@drew_gon1617]

44:17 I’ve been tempted to build a sun team and when picking a prankster sun setter, I noticed Riolu had coaching as well, i am tempted tbh, just haven’t decided if the teams gonna be physical or special, or just mixed lol

[@drew_gon1617]

(Still building my sun team lol) I’m glad to see Sableye being used here! I don’t have the DLC so my options for my team are kind of limited, maybe I can get some new mons from GO or Online raids, but for now I’m trying to build with what I do have, & Sableye is both a Pokémon I like, & a prankster Sun setter, so this team is definitely a lesson I’ll be taking, thanks for showing it off mate!

[@lylien2145]

The snorlax have the ability to weaken fire/ICE type move

[@natcole5981]

I used to see this team on showdown, gave em hell in the moltres mirror. Calm mind comefy lets you beat the moltes.

[@ualec]

Enjoy your vacation king

[@TransparentlyDuplicitous]

This was a great episode! People have been cooking with these teams.

[@jordanyee7968]

Would high horsepower have been better against the snorlax in game 2? (might have been thick fat?)

[@harleyjo4875]

I know it’s niche but like…more shinies/variants/regionals/paradoxes/whatever you wanna call them going forward that look like the originals so people are slightly thrown off their game if they aren’t fully paying attention to pregame sheets/designs. Been seeing multiple videos with these birbs and their shinies and I’m like “wow, I’m liking these new designs; why is Zapdos on the ground?” And then I realize the obvious. But I’m thinking if we get newer mons with similar designs to originals…I mean, the ONLY difference between Kantonian and Alohan Geodude line is the mustache. THE MUSTACHE.

[@AWanderingSwordsman]

I'm surprised you didn't expect it to be a ting lu carry comp given the comfey. Like, what else does it really exist to heal on that team if not a boosted ting lu? Was impressive you pulled out the switch read to win regardless.

[@justo2734]

That read game 3 was clutch 🎉

[@Kasaaz]

Shiny Snorlax out here looking like Sonic way over ate.

[@mysticpumpkin8520]

Well this is certainly a very odd team😂 but I will not argue with results. Confey + G-moltres seems like a very cool combo Btw, does somebody know how good is G-slowking in the meta rn? I had been hunting for a shiny one and I got curious

[@KimParkkinen]

I think it *can* work, but is outclassed by other snow and trick room setters. That said, it does have some neat tools available to it, so in a right team it definitely can do things. Maybe accompanied by Articuno and some big hitter in the back to be switched in by chilling reception or something?

[@heyAmashy]

I see Sableye in the thumbnail I click, I’m simple like that

[@jakemeyer277]

I’d love to see a video on the iron crown team Michael Zhang took to Vancouver Regionals

[@floofflez1134]

That read on game 3 got me like 😮

[@Earthshaker47]

I was theory crafting a steel terra, belly drum, heavy slam snorlax for a little while.

[@JJ-kc2nx]

QOTD: the constant shifts in the meta and the breathing room that mons are finally getting to allow them to shine makes reg f easily one of my current favourite formats :)

[@Ravenstorm163]

In game 2 snorlax was thick fat Should have used high horsepower was correct

[@Laserbeams]

the Sitrus Sash had me crying

[@Modijoe1959]

Game 3 and 4 were wildin’

[@Perceptious37]

poison tera moltres w/ air slash is a reasonable response to fire-ogerpon on this team.

[@kuzan421]

very interesting set of games besides the last one. i assume they just didnt respect quash or comfeys healing. i remember my 1st time against comfey i didnt know its ability gave it priority on healing moves. so i attacked the other pokemon anyway expecting it to not get healed before i attack

[@rekttangela2262]

I'm so sad that Sableye lost ally switch this generation, it would've been even more fun to use with it

[@rcbvgc]

Been using focus energy arch for a little while now and in closed bo1 people are just not prepared at all for it

[@ryuujintv4814]

I fought this team few days ago i was surprised by the focus energy move

[@Shiradrenaline]

Got home late, but to my surprise there was an Aaron Cybertron Zheng video to fly me to my rest. Team looks straight fire, with two of my favorites. Can't wait to try it.

[@speedracer7426]

Qotd: honestly kinda hate reg F. It might as well be a restricted format with how strong power creep has become, I can't wrap my head around the play style required for the format and it's just not fun constantly feeling like my head is spinning. Won't even deny it's a skill issue, doesn't mean that it isn't fun for me though.

[@benjamo0o0]

I really want to try this team, but the team code isn't working. Anyone got a working team code??

[@TheLiquidCastle]

u look so crazy good in these past videos, straight out of a kpop group xD not a fan of kpop, but can't denie that you're even more handsome than u used to be

[@DrakeMR2]

How do you not realize Snorlax is Thick Fat after that 1st Icicle Crash 🤣

[@ganuwoahh]

playing against this team was the least enjoyable thing i have experienced recently

[@alexandrerodrigo9039]

All your teams requires DLCs or Scarlet and Violet, can you build a Scarlet only team? Thanks!

[@yukitamae8965]

Hello, i have a question. Why can Rillaboom use taunt on Sableye? I thougt Sableye is a dark type Pokemon and that means taunt doesn't work? Can someone explain that? Thank you

[@calosalshadow2339]

Hey. Dark types are only immune to taunt if it is used by a Pokemon with the ability Prankster. Since Rillaboom does not have that ability. Taunt works into dark types

[@yukitamae8965]

Ah! Thank you very much. Now, i unterstand. Great

[@donotlookpls2107]

Rental Code outdated :/ But keep up the awesome work, love to play those teams myself and learning from u ✌😘

[@Caessr]

[@MayVeryWellBeep]

[@ocben2184]

Gilmora ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@pupsigaming4723]

Can you try something with simple beam? 😍

[@TheKharymusic]

NEVER seen a focus berry glimmora. 😵

[@Abdus_VGC]

Why not have Stalwart on Archaludon if not using Body Press?

[@eamk887]

Stamina is probably a better ability than Stalwart even without Body Press. Free Defense boosts are pretty huge.

[@mikeycorcoranjr.5491]

The lost zone deck

[@shinyseasalt4404]

snorlax was thick fax but it didnt matter

[@zacheastwood7484]

I like to call this team quash and squash

[@KaifSaddique-i1m]

Btw in ur description ur team code wrong

[@OminousToast]

Absoulely sound like you've been partying hahaha, hope you're enjoying yourself to the fullest! Stay safe and live it up king.

[@odyci]

still cant get over how beautiful bro is

[@hoarfyt]

Finally I get to do the dishes

[@Kaizer_Ulysses]

I see glastrier, I click

[@SimplySwifter]

IMO, Using off-meta Pokémon is really fun.
