This team has the CRAZIEST SURPRISES... • Pokemon Scarlet/Violet VGC Battles

[@ArtoriasSamus]

Very excited for this episode of Road to Ranked where Aaron Cybertron climbs the online Regulation F VGC ladder and provides live commentary as he goes - featuring a really wild team with a ton of surprises up its sleeve

[@Jamie16]

This was top comment during my intro, gave me a good chuckle 😂

[@abandontheweak2646]

🤣🤣🤣

[@CARDSSerus]

Very excited for this comment that's on nearly all of his videos

[@LesterTriscuit]

The earrings!? Okay Aaron, we see you 😎

[@ArtoriasSamus]

Man’s got DRIP

[@christiank5675]

Im so into it. Time to climb the attraction ladder

[@LesterTriscuit]

[@aniruddhiyer845]

the KPOP look

[@jonanne87]

Aaron looking like a certified rocket these last few vids.

[@kevin4227]

He is so cute and handsome! 🤩

[@angelitabecerra]

Opponet: *Sides Scary Face* Aaron: "Oh, that's cute lol" Me: Savage 😂

[@papijr408]

Bro, thanks for these videos. I listen to them on my commutes to work. You describe it so well that it feels like im watching it while only listening. I learn so much.

[@CybertronVGC]

Thank you so much for watching 🙏🙏

[@PokeBattleLab]

Very happy to see my team showcased on RTR once again:) This team was made for preparations to Global Challenge, a BO1 format online event. If anyone wants to try them out on the ladder always try to act as if you're playing a fast standard rain team haha Thanks again Aaron for sharing this team! P.S. Hope you had fun at READY TO BE😉

[@lavender3084]

really sick teams dude!

[@eesev2017]

Cool team but please tell me how you found a min speed Kubfu!!

[@PokeBattleLab]

@@eesev2017 save in front of it and reset until you get one. I was lucky enough to get it quickly enough

[@jperaza300]

Hi! I am the player of game 3!is an honor to play with you Aron!

[@ficus.professor]

Hi Aaron! I know the importance of knowing your viewership, so I wanted to shout out that I LOVE the 1hr+ videos! I'm just one guy but I'm getting serious about VGC and the insight you bring is so amazing. When you're playing a game with literally hundreds of variables, you need all the tidbits of information you can get lol. Rooting for you 😎😎

[@CybertronVGC]

Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching!!!

[@EricPimpi]

The k pop glow up is real.

[@HatsuneChiYu]

In the Explosion calc at the end you forgot to add the Choice Band rather than the Life Orb, the Crit still ends up mattering if they have bulk but : 132+ Atk Choice Band Tera-Normal Regieleki Explosion vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Gouging Fire: 169-199 (93.3 - 109.9%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO

[@AlexUsedSplash]

Haven’t got past team preview and I’m already hyped to see this.

[@scottcrysel]

This team was cooked up the lab of a mad genius lol

[@SimplySwifter]

51:55 “Aw, that's cute.” Even people like Aaron can be ruthless. 😂😂

[@Babs11549]

That archaludon play at 19:44 is wild! This is why i love Pokemon. There is so much clever stuff you can pull off.

[@bobbymartinez6765]

Aaron calling the side scary face "cute" 😂 thanks for these uploads!

[@holymarina6622]

Okay Aaron lookin good! I see you with the haircut! And the earrings okay!!

[@AlexandreGaldinoHaru]

I was completely destroyed by this Urshifu in the Global Challenge and I hadn't understood what happened until now. I was using Trick Room😢

[@liquidfromsoul7194]

The battles and Aaron's drip here is too much 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@scottcrysel]

I knew this team had to be for Global Challenge shenanigans before you even said it lol

[@sparrowflash376]

long time viewer here, it's the first time you look too good to actually absorb the video today👀 it's a shame cuz I really like the team but plz take this as a (strange) compliment! also QOTD: beat up Arcanine! I used it in past seasons and get some good results! when everyone back then is using support Arcanine and offensive Maushold it's easy to set up! (some ppl won't even notice the lack of intimidate lol)

[@sparrowflash376]

and the +4 Tera normal Extreme Speed is just…… *chief's kiss*

[@freestincteam5295]

bro learned attract by level up

[@BaldRobynAddict]

Some great games and loved this team, Choice Specs Pelipper especially. A Bo1 strat I really liked was Freezai using Fire Tera Blast Trick Room Farigiraf in Smogon Champion's League Week 3, 2023

[@thaxbax5359]

AARON u look so good bro!! I just wanna say thank you for fun content as always. U are my favorite Pokémon youtuber :)

[@CybertronVGC]

Thank you for the kind words and for watching, it means the world to me!!!

[@VoermanIdiot]

That Pelipper Muddy Water with Helping Hand did absolutely unethical amounts of damage, what in the goddamn.

[@trick6pokemon624]

Really cool to see Brave Rapid strike in a TR setup team. I didn't have a min speed one so I ran Room Service with acrobatics to deal with the grass types back in reg d

[@apeckx5090]

Anybody notice Aaron looking real good lately 👀

[@MrGermanpiano]

Really cool team. It is always fun to play around your enemies expectations. Just wish the youtube(?) compression wouldn't make the video look like 480p half of the time.

[@lenningonzalez6611]

Hyped for this new video. Let’s go😊. Greetings from Germany

[@TTG_JG]

Why do Rhyperior and Fluttermane look like two lovers outside on a rainy night at 01:02:10 ?

[@jeast9648]

Best commentator in the world right here. Pretty good battler too.

[@thegamingmammoth]

What an interesting berry on flutter mane, I have never seen that ever in my career in VGC

[@ScyzorRS]

I went VS this team today on showdown and hadn't seen this video yet, i complimented the guy on it and he was telling me how it's his original team with secret spreads etc LOL

[@patrol2omega]

I tried Urshifu with power brace about 2 months ago on one of my many trick room teams. It was fine. What really was useful for me was Camerup with Power Brace time ago as it can do tons of dame with Eruption and Earth Power

[@jaykirizz219]

Hey hoping Aaron or somebody in the comment section can answer a couple questions for me. Would it be smarter to have room service as urshifus held item so that you aren’t stuck being the slowest on the field when trickroom isn’t active ? U can switch out to lose your speed being lowered … or is there a reason power anklet is better for these circumstances? Also does a power anklet make u slower than room service would? Thank you and thank you cybertron for showcasing teams and always having great videos!

[@plebmarv9668]

51:02 that moment when u realize trick room goes up 🥴🥴 with that team?! enemy must be so confused

[@wishythefishy]

I think it would be nifty if each of the Power EV Accessories gave like a 20% boost to their respective stat in exchange for lowering speed. I think for the speed and HP ones you could do like a 20% damage reduction or increase in in exchange for a similar boost in speed. This could mix up traditional trick room teams and a sort of B-grade scarf to some bulk. Thoughts? Clean look! 😎

[@mewtationssb]

20% is absurdly broken. Imagine like Ursaluna Bloodmoon with this idea and that special attack boost. The main counterplay just doesn’t exist anymore LOL.

[@wishythefishy]

I suppose the 20% was in order to give a use case to other niche items.

[@jeast9648]

I love this team. Looks like a lot of fun.

[@amazon_kai]

My favorite mon from the gc was coaching riolu. My team didn’t do well at the gc since I had made it an hour before it started, but coaching riolu + water ogerpon is soooo good. Additionally, a lot of people don’t realize riolu gets rain dance + sunny day, so it’s such a good surprise. I ran sunny day to help flutter + chi-yu, bit next gc I’m definitely running rain dance instead to power up ogerpon even more >:)

[@crayonstik9919]

“I can bring flutter and just explode” is one of my new favorite concepts

[@hardhoofdful]

L000ng episode, thanks for the effort Aaron

[@CybertronVGC]

Thank you for watching!!!

[@DSpiritwolf]

I really wanted that Ambipon to come out. 😂 I've never seen one in Doubles, only singles.

[@eesev2017]

I run TR and the idea of finding a min speed Kubfu seems like such a slog so that’s some crazy luck for this creator

[@CNightmare072]

QotD: Back in SwSh, I messed around wiith a team using Dragapult, Terrakion & Zoroark. Now at team preview this looks like a standard beat up/justified combo… but it was actually WP Dragapult & Zoroark disguised as Terrakion w/ side-sucker punch & Burning Jealousy. The amount of people that quit when their prankster T-Wave failed against “Terrakion” 💀

[@Blazikinja]

okay earringssss he's evolving before our eyes

[@OMNIWAV]

Yoooo! Aaron looking good man!

[@GrinKeeper]

That team is so much fun!

[@kifgdude]

HAIRCUT AND EARRINGS, AARON YOU HANDSOME DEVIL GOOD LORD SIR…wait we’re talking Pokemons right?

[@ChezLaHaras]

Love earrings bro!! Cloud Strife energy

[@GUT5S]

Simple Beam quad boost Dondozo is easily my fav best of 1 closed team sheet hahahaha

[@SergioS-nm3mg]

Got a paste?

[@alx1457]

what do you recommend to climb up the doubles ladder? Since I generally wait for a good team to be showcased after the new season started, but in this season not a lot of team were showcased by Aaron and they were all "niche" teams I always assumed it wasn't good to use a team showcased in the previous season, like a month before, as meta tends to change

[@Carlos-tz9iy]

Damn Pelipper got hands.

[@jeffbyrd9250]

51:58 I didn't know side prankster moves worked on dark types

[@DelightfulWalrus]

How come the bitrate has been so low for the past few videos? The particle effects and his face look blurry. 13:38

[@CloudBreaker30]

When did Aaron become an idol? A new hairdo and earrings, and he looks amazing. lol If only it were so easy for the masses. Edit: Punctuation

[@bagleybadger2867]

Come through, piercings! Looks great (not sure if they're new or if you're just sharing them with us now)

[@mewr11]

Now that we've seen Maranga Berry absolutely pop off, is there any chance we see Kee Berry in a future team? (For those unaware, Kee Berry is the physical counterpart to Maranga Berry)

[@itztaytay2]

Maybe, it'd work well on any high def mon w/body press especially but Urshifu will be a perpetual thorn since crits ignore it (and it'll mostly be for ladder shenanigans instead of tournaments since they're open teamsheet)

[@DonYagamoth]

Oh... This makes so much more sense now... I don't know if I ran into this specific team on the ladder, but I did have a confusing encounter with an Urshifu that outsped my Incineroar in my own TR. I ended up winning anyways, due to having 2 slower mons besides that with Torkoal, and A-Exeggutor, but that certainly was a surprise Edit: Just checked my recordings, and apparently I misremembered, I did not run into this team in particular. A bunch of Gholdengo, Farigiraf, Flutter and Urshifu, but none with these 6 mons

[@HangoutswithZach]

new hair and ears pierced BAD BOY AARON CYBERTRON ZHANG IS IN FULL EFFECT

[@FutureOverYou]

My fave best of one strat I like is Curselax with any healer support like Comfey or Cresselia.

[@AndoBoi-bw4hb]

ooooo earrings!

[@sjamalamadingdong7901]

I've been building around room service urshifu rapid for quite a bit now. One cool thing you can do is have Acrobat to ko rillabloom

[@Drop0sauce]

I ran this team in reg e I believe and did really well in regionals just very easy to read into

[@bennyagin]

NEW EPISODE LET’S GO!!!

[@galaxystudios370]

REGINALD MY BELOVED

[@LightGreenCorona]

QOTD: 1) Sturdy Mirror Coat Avalugg 2) Latias Psych up + Stored Power, after leading with Smeargle with Moody and Minimize Alolan-Muk with Power of Alchemy

[@rycftxdhfsdyftgdxuuhgjfgzx1925]

I'm really curious why Farigiraf is zero speed IVs but not -speed nature. Is that a mistake or is there a notable bench mark between the two in and out of trick room?

[@SlyScyther]

Aaron changed his look irl and in-game

[@jazilian16]

New Aaron who dis?

[@marcoreyes1180]

Aaron "The pimp" Cybertron i see you dude!!🤟

[@Unidentifiabelle]

I ran a Midnight Lycanroc, skillswap No guard onto dondozo for 100% fissures in the First Gen 9 Global challenge. Was super fun, didnt do great tho.

[@DylanPedro-t2v]

Why not just Booster Energy on Flutter? Probably more reliable but with a slight reduction in bulk after (potential) proc

[@alejandrokintin]

Aaron, with all due respect, you look 🔥 😍

[@silvergrahampalme7340]

thank god my new team its ready for this team

[@LinvakPR]

Game 3 I believe you got into your own head, the double spread was the move

[@chaldavgc]

This explains a lot

[@alejyarinrios169]

Im living this new cybertron kpop era

[@graysonlacroix7742]

Choice specs pelipper - Aaron “Gigachad” Zheng

[@Cillianx1]

this team features a Cybertron holding the earings item with 252 in rizz lol

[@CPS12]

Cyberton lookin HM02!!!

[@deshthewraithLoL]

QOTD: Physical Eleki into a screen setter.

[@MrJAgb]

The nature gives you a 10% boost in a stat right? Why are you not choosing a Jolly nature Regileki and no investement in speed? Then you have a overall higher stat total right? Because +10% with that speed stat is 220 speed

[@ling0s138]

All the people in the comments talkin about the glow up didn’t see Cybertron at Knoxville lookin like a GQ model. I watched the Stuttgart stream a while back and was so impressed by how hygienic and put together most of the players looked. American Pokémon players need to take better care of themselves

[@Shiradrenaline]

Aaron you are looking so cool recently? Also, love me a specs pelly.

[@AnthonyRamirez-uo1lr]

Where do you go to find optimal EV spreads? I always want to try somwthing newer but i dont know where to look

[@trick6pokemon624]

Google pikalytics regulation f vgc and if you go to the pikalytics site it should have the usage percentages and you can see common items/moves/etc. You can change format as well on the site I just find it easier to look for the format directly in the search engine

[@gustavoulguim]

how prankster tornadus used sacry face on dark ushifu???

[@ericschmitt3857]

i love the new look

[@collinhughes3742]

I’m confused - why not just use booster on the flutter for the speed raise?

[@collinhughes3742]

Spdef*

[@doclknop4335]

I’m not fully familiar with the maranga berry, what’s the logic of using that over booster spdef? sure you have a slightly better matchup into sun but booster would protect against trick taking away your boost before it can activate as well as shielding against the first attack as well

[@itztaytay2]

Booster spdef requires your spdef to be higher than spattk (so can't use modest), and reveals shenanigans in the first place in a hard bluff team whereas you probably already have trick room up by the time they see a maranga berry. Realistically I think either is fine

[@nickykoston466]

I’m curious as to why they aren’t using room service item instead of the power anklet , that way urshifu could be used in and out of trick room

[@trick6pokemon624]

I imagine it's so pelipper is moving first outside of Trick Room to deal with amoongus rage powder. A good tera Amoongus seems pretty tough for this team in general

[@trick6pokemon624]

Additionally they are probably trying to hide at all costs that the urshifu is slow since its a designed Bo1 team

[@uNoproblema]

First impression haxorus with all the expanding force spam

[@anshkumar769]

Wouldn't work because of psychic terrain blocking priority

[@mr.truffles9294]

QOTD : Does the Perish Song Trap strat counts?

[@XJackSkeleton]

Aaron be getting dat gyatt with alla dat drippp 👀👀👀

[@stewinjo2861]

Came for pokemom content, stayed for the glow up

[@neri1220]

The difficult part is to get 0 speed IV Urshifu, especially if you already got 1 and maxed its speed. Funny enough i got myself 0 speed Walking Wake and i am planning to make it work under trick room.

[@riggz5496]

What calculator do you use boss?

[@LesterTriscuit]

I understand Aaron didnt make this team, but wouldn't a booster energy on the Flutter be more efficient, vs getting the +1 spdef after being attacekd?

[@trick6pokemon624]

I'd lean towards you being correct here. You always mitigate the damage if you dont need to switch, but it has the disadvantage of telling your opponent how you are invested and that seems to be what this team intends to hide on everyone. The boost coming in after you've locked into a scarf chiyu/specs move from something else could be devastating

[@LesterTriscuit]

@@trick6pokemon624 trueskies, you right on all accounts. Sheeeeit, you got a youtube channel like Aarons too? Ill watch it.

[@danrush613]

am i crazy but are the earrings new

[@lionheart4424]

The kubfu of my Scarlet game is 0 Speed and 0 Atk. Really considering making it a TR special attacker just for the lulz.

[@Kleinian363]

Damn, how did you get a 0 speed IV urshifu??

[@TheChocobologist]

Yo, sick earrings!

[@Duelerama90]

QOTD: DDozo Tatsu + a simple beam user (probably Latios) for +4s. Trying to build my first team with them but it's so tedious & inaccessible
