@@Lux_the_Lost Ya better suspect it from a Wooper evo. It's the one thing that makes Quagsire a tiering immune menace, and Clodsire's got it too. Ya really should suspect it if the Clod is staying in on +6 Atk buffs; thing's a HP/SDef wall not PDef. And once it survives a +6 physical attack that well shit's confirmed. That ain't no Water Absorb or Poison Touch mudfish.

@@pascalschwerdtmann4397 True, but I find that a lot of people just don't account for the possibility of Unaware. It's one of those abilities that people tend to not actively think about despite how utterly ridiculous it is. Ironic, given the name. And of course, once in a blue moon you'll encounter the rare player who doesn't understand how Unaware works, and HOO BOY is that sweet.

pure power* theres a difference between huge power and pure power. if pure power gets traced or skill swapped, the original pokemon keeps that 2x attack boost from the ability. skill swap huge power, its only 1.5x and the original doesnt keep the boost! so medicham and flamigo is rly scary

[@TheJuicyTangerine]

Anger point actually raised your atk 7 times in that first fight. It sets attack to max, not does 6 raises, so it even ignores tauros' intimidate

[@DBS_Destroyer]

Well, technically it raises it by 12 stages but it’s the same thing

[@BlazingTyphlosion]

@@DBS_Destroyer No?

[@Ampheline]

@@BlazingTyphlosion It does raise by 12 stages, The reason he said it's the same thing is because it'll get you to +6 no matter what stage you're on.

[@Ampheline]

@@BlazingTyphlosion Setting your attack to +6 all the time or giving you +12 has the same effect no matter what.

[@TheArcticBearboss]

It doesn't raise it by a set amount, it maxes out your attack stat. Since Anger point is triggered after the intimidate, you're gonna hit max attack no matter what.

[@neri1220]

Very cool way of showing Ally Switch on Meowscarada. People keep using this mon offensively but it has many other tricks to offer, such as the mentioned Ally Switch. Skill Swap, Toxic Spikes, Trick and even Chilling Water are some of the surprise factors it could utilize. Just a note here: Ally Switch has been NERFED in that it may fail when used twice in a row, just like Protect - this was not the case in previous generations but it is now, so keep that in mind.

[@trevhart2124]

I just breed a shiny Sprigatito with Ally Switch, and this nerf disappointments me. Maybe I should've gone for Petal Blizzard instead

[@asierx7047]

[@TheMythicalMatty]

I like how Krookodile and Meowscarada looked at each other when they swapped places. I like to think in that moment Meowscarada was doing the smile and nod trope in that moment.

[@radensmoth]

i used a team like this once, but i used a choice scarf froslass instead of meowscarada. froslass learns frost breath which is a guaranteed crit.

[@zacmayes2802]

Only problem with it is that it has a 10% chance to miss while flower trick never ever misses

[@radensmoth]

@@zacmayes2802 yup, you basically have a 10% chance of losing

[@FoxMan_FF]

Anger Point strats work _really_ well with Paldean Tauros- specifically the Blaze Breed since it resists Flower Trick. I've also seen Cryogonal used for the setup since it gets access to Frost Breath, which also always crits. I want to see if I can utilize a similar strategy with Eviolite Primeape since no one expects it now that Annhilape is a thing.

[@aldocortes5748]

You are on the right track with Eviolite Primeape. I really recommend it. I use it with Tera Steel to resist Flower Trick -Drain punch -Rage fist -Tera blast (steel) -Protect Jolly nature 252 ATK 252 SPEED 4 HP

[@Somebody73852]

As a person that has used anger point for years, Tauros blaze breed is so much better since it resists the flower trick. I like the Salac berry idea of course but it helps more to use a different form of speed control such as Murkrow in the back, so you can give a different item like goggles, because spore and rage powder suck

[@TriStain69]

As someone who's recently tried that, I can report that it can be a little risky, since a decent amount of Pokemon can still outspeed Tauros and take it out turn 1 before it can even get a chance to attack. Tailwind is great, but with this setup you'd kind of need to do a lot of switching around to have Tailwind up for when Tauros takes the Flower Trick. Plus if the enemy team sets up a Tailwind too that just negates that speed boost completely. I think the benefit of the Salac Berry strat is that it grants the immediate speed boost on turn 1

[@trevhart2124]

This is a very well thought out team! Here's to hoping no one brings Haze though XD

[@vxtreme7384]

If it's Murkrow, it will be dead before it has a chance to Haze on the afterturn (assuming it's a lead), Follow Me, on the other hand will mess up the strategy before it causes too much damage (Meowscarada being immune to Rage Powder is a big advantage tho)

[@Yomasi]

This works better with Froslass and Paldean Tauros, since Tauros resists frost breath and meowscarada isnt worth lowering its attack to not kill krookodile, particularly when its usually used offensively against dondozo and other mons

[@dookiegobbler9706]

I use Beartic since 2 of its abilities boost Speed and it has low SpAtk

[@Nighthawk31415]

I've been trying to find ways to successfully use anger point krookadile in competitive since wicked blow in sword and shield, I was worried about using a super effective move this gen, but now you have shown me it works so thank you!!!!

[@auroraseppel6204]

You should definitely consider Armour Tail Farigiraf to block those priority moves if it’s something you’re really worried about

[@DoggoDoesStuff1]

He has indeedee, which does the same thing. the problem is that you have to lead meowscarada and krok if you want to get the combo off turn 1

[@Hyenadont]

Terrastalization works really well here, as you can change type to steel or flying to resist the crit. A better item too would be covert cloak and using froslass (can't flying terra on that one) so turn 1 you have full immunity to fake out immediately. Froslass also has helping hand, which is just ridiculous. Terrastalization also means you can max the attack/spA of your critter so it's still useful when anger point shenanigans can't be used. Fire tauros and primeape are really good alternatives, with primeape having eviolite to take hits rage fist starting at 100 base and drain punch to refill HP like crazy as well as encore to deal with set up or support mons, and tauros has rock slide and earthquake for the max spread damage, and a crazy good physical fire move that breaks screens and hits grass mons and terras

[@runner6224]

I've made a mono dark team who uses this very set up as the backbone of the team. It's done significantly better than I thought it would and you're right, it's delicute. I'd love to try and battle of the two anger points to see who comes out on top XD

[@TheArcticBearboss]

Thanks for making this video. So many people in low elo DOU are still using this exact same team to this day and it's a free W every time lol. When the meta was more limited it was definitely a stronger gimmick team though, just has too many weaknesses and ways to play around it.

[@pjanderson4876]

I think I would have gone Eviolite Anger Point Primeape instead of Krookidile. I guess you wouldn’t have stab spread Earthquakes, but you could teraghost rage fist already at 100 base power, or drain punch.

[@antonioscendrategattico2302]

Impressed by how you managed to find costars (hehe) for Krookodile who can actually complement the central strategy. The Sableye skill swap shenanigans in particular impressed me.

[@AmericanDadClips1]

This team only works on the slight end of teams, a lot of Pokémon use 2 hit moves or just straight up understand that they need to get Krookodile off the floor first, meowscarada is fairly weak, so they either double attack your krookodile or simply attack it in general after the flower trick goes through and one hit it. Works okay but overall not the best for sure

[@kangourou0071]

Btw prankster doesn’t work on dark type, queenly majesty and psychic terrain but when you target your ally it does work anyway

[@matthewblake8485]

Very brilliantly done! The strat is easy to get but quick and strong. I like using underused mons myself and let me tell you that a toxic boost, stab facade from Zangoose can literally OHKO anyone who doesn’t resist it. I just have to protect him. 🔥

If no dark types, Turn 1 tera psychic armarouge, U turn into it with bundle, weak armor and weakness policy goes off, select indeedee with the U turn, turn 1 a BIG expanding force comes out at 279 speed, then indeedee with helping hand can let armarouge power through almost anything. Helping hand expanding force can KO some steel types and psychic types through light screen
