Hey everyone, after the best gen 8 Pokemon, people were asking for a look at competitive pokemon so I thought I'd try my hand at it, not sure how right I got everything, but it was definitely fun to go over some pokemon builds, could've gone into the evs for each pokemon but I didn't want to drag each section on too long and just sort of mentioned the idea behind them. Hope you've been enjoying our run through of sword and shield, thanks for being here, really happy to see you all enjoying these videos ^^ Also I might just pin someone else's comment if it's funny or something, I'm just used to giving updates when the videos come out lol. Also the honorable mentions were just there for the sake of not getting flamed for not mentioning them, some of them are good, Boltund's more just mentioned for the sake of being mentioned, it's like only okay. But I now realize I should've put every Pokemon in that spot. AND may have forgot to include the section about gorilla tactics being better... but zen mode is cool.

Interesting take new potential threats. You shouldn't overlook how Dynamax works wonders for glass cannons like barraskewda who gets insane coverage moves though. Luckily he's not a big fan of Gyarados.

[@chaosgallade2331]

You're underestimating Grimmsnarl and Hatterene. Grimmsnarl is basically a Sableye that can actually hit back as it packs a good support movepool to abuse Prankster with. Hatterene is one of the most threatening wallbreakers ever made, as it has good bulk, can set up Trick Room if it's used on those kinds of teams, and can deal with the Ferrothorn/Toxapex core rather well thanks to its access to Mystical Fire.

Don't fucking assume its species. It's the current year.

[@jjason1722]

Соɾу ℛ. It’s described as a whale

[@kleeonn]

Lol

[@kleeonn]

Person A: I got into an argument with my friends whether kyogre is based on a shark or a whale? I think it's a whale, since it lacks the signature fin of a shark. Please prove him wrong. Person B: Well, Sharks have their propelling fin in the back vertically aligned, and seeing as Kyogre's is horizontally, we can discern that it is not a shark, but rather a whale or dolphin. next, we see that Kyogre lacks a vertical pectoral fin indicative of a shark/dolphin, again ruling out shark. And finally, it lacks a narrow snout, meaning it cannot be a dolphin. The resulting conclusion is that Kyogre is in fact a Whale-like pokemon. Source: Reddit

Pluck Roost Power trip Hone claws So we use Hone Claws to raise all the way up if we are low health we use roost and continue. We then use power trip. It will be super strong as our stats are high. Pluck is just a backup move. Used it for most of my battles other than rilaboom and Golurk. By the way Pluck can be used for weak pokemon or super effective This was my Corviknight's moves.

Yes in both

[@gibbs3042]

Pokemon s/s has such a Wild West Style Duke em competitive scene You can find Tanks or monsters that have a diverse moveset But usually when your opponent uses Dynamax Power Moves It will take out any pokemon you have in 1 hit. So it's basically a freebie to get rid of at least 1 pokemon cheaply During competitive play

Duraladon is PUBL, galarian darmanitan is Ubers (with gorrilla tactics not zen mode like you said for some reason), and Zacian is AG in both forms, and cinderace also exists. Aged perfectly 👍
