VGC Puzzle: Can you outplay Talonflame?

[@aprofessionalidiot7106]

1:18 I really like this layout where its just all the info in one frame, makes it easier to think without having to keep rewinding and risk missing crucial info, you should keep doing that in future videos.

[@pedrocadaval2651]

One other sugestion, when you give the timer, mark in red that cannot be used, such as fake out or double protect

[@zogs4045]

I mean yeah with fake out and if the Pokemon is choiced but despite being a really rare move sometimes going for a double protect can clutch lost games so it might be used in some scenarios where it is the optimal play

[@why3994]

This is the first video I've found from this channel but it was so fun I'm gonna have to go back and do all the others :) awesome video

[@LaserGlow]

I've always seen VGC matches as somewhat puzzle like in nature so your videos are perfect to feed into that perspective, love the concept of the channel. Hope the algorithm continues to favour it further.

[@someonespc269]

Awesome vids as always man! One thing you can experiment with in the future is with choosing leads as puzzles. Since thats a whole thing in of itself.

[@Sugar_beans]

Keep it up, I have a feeling these videos are gonna blow up soon🎉

[@gigapiesontop401]

DUDE NO WAY I really wanted to do this and i was talking for like a week back in vgc chat about this its so cool someone actually did it

[@Brett-ww9fv]

Only thing is that you always always woodhammer on the turn you protect calyrex

[@dude6074]

One problem is if they get a double protect

[@endy7630]

Fake out the talonflame and attack with calyrex. Assuming the talonflame clicks protect to block fake out, you just protect calyrex the following turn and grassy glide the talonflame. And all of a sudden the advantage of Gale Wings vanishes, gg i think.

Double protect

[@endy7630]

@@dude6074 That would be rough lol

[@davidpopolizio3781]

It'd be easier to do this if the information was just available visually rather than reading it out.

[@davidpopolizio3781]

Oh you do that a minute or so in

[@pedrocadaval2651]

Love your channel ideia, i think it would be really cool if you made a discord (os something similar) so that people could send puzzles ideias on showdown replays, i myself have some intresting ideas

[@VGCPuzzles]

Discord server coming soon

[@aa-ml1ho]

Got 2/2, overall a really enjoyable 3 minutes! Keep up the great work! 💯

[@teal7652]

Very cool idea for a series!

[@azuremoon4372]

yeah they would need a double protect into you not getting a double to beat just fake out+astral-protect+grassy glide

[@artilire]

1:25 It's unlikely that talonflame doesn't just protect so fake out into miraidon is likely to be a better play

[@VGCPuzzles]

But if they don’t protect talon flame you lose. With this play you always win no matter their move.

[@ladylouchan]

nailed it, great vid btw

[@sammVGC]

Big fan on this channel, tho could you explain what would happen if on the second turn the talon flame tailwinded instead of brave bird? Ik you should still do enough damage with the rillaboom in the end but I think it is worth clarifying

[@VGCPuzzles]

Talon flame actually doesn’t have tailwind

[@batmanbatman3840]

I knew it!
