Great video! Ive been climbing Masters and have gotten to that position with Crustle multiple seasons. -Rock Tomb is a very versatile skill with stealth rock allowing you to brawl on enemy goal zones

[@adamcallandrillo8702]

Crustle rock tomb is such a good move, I used to be a shell smash player and would struggle to beat attackers and then I realized that rock tomb invalidates attackers

[@UniteClimbing]

Crustle is very good!

[@jordstreamgaming9962]

I love this video sir! It's so informational and encouraging! I have been losing A CRAP LOAD of games in Master Rank due to my teammates (kids) throwing games and having no idea what they're doing.

[@chemistweeb]

I disagree on Eldegoss’ mobility being weak. Cotton spore is such a powerful move that provides useful CC during a fight, and great mobility to engage or disengage from one. Leaf tornado exists as well, not that you’ll ever use it outside of specific comps in a team scenario, but it’s still of note. If not cut for the mobility check, I’d imagine it would’ve made too 6 easily, especially being the only supporter pick. I would also argue on Tsareena’s unite move. While not as strong as slowbro’s, it does deal very high damage and her combo playstyle can lead to a powerful full to zero hp combo against the enemy’s most important attacker or speedster DPS. The ability to grant herself invincibility and remove her target from the game during the move’s duration is also big especially during team fights. That being said, I always play full grass teams in Pokémon games and only play grass types in Unite, so I am biased, however that’s also partly because I’ve used Tsareena so much as she’s the only grass type all-rounder.

[@warmbowski]

agreed, I'd def put it first in the support role, according to the video's criteria. But the criteria doesn't really cater to supports

[@guitarshredder456]

Idk it’s really hard to make an argument to use a support outside of at least duo queue bc you just have so little control over the game. It just feels so bad when all your carries are incompetent I’d rather pick a second tank almost always bc at least you can carry if needed. I think I have above 70% wr on umbreon and blastoise this season, they’ve been my go to’s in the dreaded all attacker/damage dealer comps. Don’t get me wrong it’s nice to win the lottery and get an eldegoss on your team and them actually be good at support, but half the time they aren’t even running exp share lol

Yep, that's exactly 100% true. I'm a Blastoise Main and knows that's exactly how Blastoise is played. OG Blastoise player here. He helped me a lot to get to Master Rank many times until I switched with other Pokémon that helped me like Dragonite and others.

[@angrydaniel2905]

Great video but I think the mobility on Eldegoss is underestimated here. With cotton spore I can 1v1 speedsters and often get away. Especially in combination with x speed. Tho ofc that is not always up and goes for all these mons. I think it’s a very strong pick because you can also carry sometimes.

[@Diancie7246]

I can even 1v1 all rounders with eldegoss

[@goldgen.crafts6933]

Brooo best video for improving the win rate by all most 5 to 10% Thanks bro

[@0TTERBRO]

The damage of Absol's unite move is shared in a given zone so naturally if enemies are around ray its actually not the right move to secure, you're better off using the unite early then secure with nightslash/pursuit, nightslash being the easiest option

[@adamcallandrillo8702]

I would like to make an argument for why crustle is the best solo q pokemon in the game. 1. Two amazing builds in shell smash or rock tomb that have significant effects on the game 2. Functions with XP share as a held item on top of massive stun and control allowing for great lane synergy with a lot of pokemon 3. The only times where crustle needs to secure is farm in the early game in which rock slide and fury cutter are actually really good for. Otherwise their job at objectives isn't to try to secure but to try to stop the other team 4. Crustle unite move is extremely underrated with strong damage and a large shield that can seem absolutely massive when used with low health buddy barrier works on this pokemon for this reason and can be unstoppable. 5. Rock tomb low-key invalidates some characters like if you get rock tombed in a teamfight without a dash you are in trouble

[@BudiSetiawan-qe9ge]

Second criteria is such a bummer. New Pokémon and most single and non evolving Pokémon have good early, mid and late game. Two stages Pokémon (except Kanto) needs something that rewards them for being 2 stage evolution Pokémon. The weakest among these two stage Pokémon are Mamoswine (he fall the most despite being good early) and Charizard (even evolving at lvl 7 doesn't help char).

[@user-tj6ws1tr1y]

Brooo come back we need you

[@ishan61]

Thanks bro, this will help a lot in soloq matches.

[@aricitrin2629]

Respectfully, there are lots of reasons to cull cram it requires a lot of skill but to cut it because it doesn't have an impactful unite move seems crazy to me. That's one of the only reasons I wouldn't get rid of it.

Honestly from just watching the gameplay i think i just want sylveon lol

[@AnthonyIsToeKnee]

I've watched several videos explaining the difference between top and bottom lane, and how the objective and exp play a role, but explaining why certain Pokemon go top and others go bottom isn't explained. I have watched your videos as well. Jungle is easy enough to understand. So, i ask you, why a character like Espeon is only a bottom laner? Not just Espeon though, explain all the characters. Cheers!

[@UniteClimbing]

Great video idea! I'll start working on it now

[@AnthonyIsToeKnee]

@@UniteClimbing Nice, I'll be looking for it when you release it ✌️

[@rohitpant565]

​@@AnthonyIsToeKnee attackers go bottom lane generally with the defender and support go top lane with the stacking mon. Attacker bot lane caz of more farm available at bottom and stacker top caz farm at top lane near goal zone is easier to kill and stack with

[@TurnTic]

I always use alolan ninetales i literally NEVER lose and i am always mvp i think its a great pick if you go Avalanche - Blizzard you can also use Aurora Veil instead of blizzard since it gives good mobility as it lets u dash forward kind of like Sylveon's "Mystical Fire" i prefer Avalanche over Dazzling Gleam since Avalanche has range and if you're already using Aurora Veil than Dazzling Gleam becomes even worse Avalanche and Blizzard are both great ranged moves

[@vinzvanvoorden3067]

As a blastiose mane i see this as a absolute win

[@rngapelegs2530]

I really wish they’d add more interesting Pokémon. They don’t all have to have cool factor, but be interesting…. Getting “cool Pokémon” burn out

[@stephenson358]

Fantastic video 👍 Subbed

[@fnordranger7184]

crustle zones better than umbreon and almost equal to tree, and its just as tanky, its unite move is insane, but gets counter by umbreon and ttar, and with draft umbreon is gone. rock tomb locks out choke points forcing enemies to dash through or find another path and u can x-scissor for insane stun

[@nomet-jk6bf]

Espeon may be the most underrated but it is more immobile than Glaceon. Glaceon's ice spear/shard build has insane range and her passive ability will trigger more often than Espeon's only escape, his unite move. All of the Eevees are great soloQue picks. Leafeon is a bit overrated for soloQue with no CC or durability. Rapid spin Blastoise can carry!

[@warmbowski]

What are the All Rounder and the Support that got the highest marks in your criteria? My solo queue picks that I seems to do best with are Mimikyu and Eldegoss, but curious what your criteria spec as the best in those two roles.

[@UniteClimbing]

Eldegoss, Hoopa and Mime are awesome!! Issue being, they don't carry. They don't do any 'Solo' work. You enhance other players. So they work better in Duos

[@Zenith-l4w]

And what about all rounders

[@hudson9195]

Haven't watched but damn cool thumbnail

[@dramaking9910]

I would argue that sylveon is better than espeon. Espeon is a great Pokemon but relies on a frontline to showcase her power. Without a tank besides her she is very squishy and gets easily assassinated. Sylveon on the other hand is very versatile. She has mystical fire in which you demonstrated which shows great mobility and damage. Also draining kiss recovers HP which makes her tanky than espeon. Calming wind on the other hand grants a mini shield plus increases mobility. Overall I think you did Sylveon dirty man. plus majority of the video was demonstrating sylveon, that has to say something 😅

[@siddharthraj2691]

I love using blaziķen and mew its so easy to use idk why people say huge skill cap for those 2😢.i got to masters 1899 this season soloq with those❤❤❤❤

[@closeenough1343]

Meowscarada, greninja, and Talon hit everything on your list, but you reject them because people are ass with them? How strange. I use all 3 of them with great success because they can easily carry or turn the game in their favor while being safe.

[@UniteClimbing]

If they are hard to use, high skill and have low win rates, why would I promote them as the best to new players? Do you want more new players throwing your games with these picks?

[@closeenough1343]

With EX licenses being brought back in a few days with no quantity limits on a team, you can say the EX licenses will be best most of the time for soloQ sadly

[@closeenough1343]

Wow, you have NO IDEA what you are talking about. Lmao, blastoise is the best defender next to trev, but he isn't a carry. The best pokemon for solo Q needs to be a carry. Its impossible to say defenders are best for solo q when they can't carry. You put espeon on that list and espeon CANT carry either. A carry would be a pokemon that doesn't rely on a defender and can dive. Espeon and defenders can't do that. So they aren't best for solo q at all. The closest you came was leafeon. The very first pokemon you've eliminated can actually carry. Greninja, Talon, and meowscarada fill roles of being carries without heavy reliance on a defender. They all can dive, they all can secure, and they all have mobility. It's WILD you put blastoise as the best solo q when he's a defender. Easy to play? Sure. But best solo q? Nope, never, and why? Because he's way too team reliant. You play blastoise as a defender, and he can't ko. You play him as a carry, and he can't defend. He's way too team reliant. Your criteria was good with the exception of not including dive capabilities, however the choice in pokemon You've made was WAY OFF. The only pokemon you picked that made sense was leafeon. Literally all the others heavily rely on a team to be effective, ESPECIALLY umbreon, slowbro, and espeon.

[@Lollamo]

Excatly he has been feeding people bs and new players are taking it in 🤣, buddy didn’t put venu when petal venu is one of the best carry solo queue

[@yee2854]

just from my personal experience i have to disagree. i am much more excited when i see a blastoise or espeon than greninja, talonflame, or meowscarada in my team queue. Most of the player base even in masters (i’m currently 1660 with a 54.4 % Ranked win rate this season) cannot be trusted with the pokémon you named and are much better off playing pokémon with lower skill caps. Slowbro and Umbreon are also amazing picks. idk what game you’re playing but your teammates must be fantastic for you to write a comment like this, or you’re part of the problem

[@closeenough1343]

@@yee2854 Easy to play and best for solo Q are two entirely different metrics.

[@someguy7874]

I think when people refer to carry they often refer to what characters can influence a game in a more positive direction and help overall team comp. I am way more excited to see a single Blastoise in lane than 3 attackers in the team. Blastoise cannot hyper carry the same way attackers do but he can influence the game in such a powerful way thru a combination of stun, damage, and secure. I have a 62% WR with Blastoise this season, and I've strictly played Pump/Surf this season. Blastoise is incredible even if he doesn't hyper carry in the traditional sense.

[@UniteClimbing]

With a 47% win rate over the last month or so, it's very difficult to make a case for this. I love Venu, and use it a lot. But it's silly to feed people this information with data like that 👍
