[@CrisHeroes]

is this buff a big mistake?

[@darklord-uz1rm]

Cris play rough only got the movement speed decrease buff the cooldown buff was applied to shadow sneak you can check unite db since it cooldown is still 7.5 sec

[@nightbarongaming3237]

​@@darklord-uz1rmthat's great if true. That means at least it wasn't a big buff. But I'm afraid players still gonna play it because they think it's "buffed"

[@gudrunlourinho4688]

This was one of the most stupid buffs they ever did.

[@Cukufato]

Yup the diabolic sock buff was a mistake

[@steve.m7443]

Yeah, I'd take Ttar buffs over this. Play Rough and Mimikyu Ult are two of the worst designed moves in the game.

[@ShadoughC8]

If they were gonna buff anything,it probably should've just been trick room

[@Oliver-uz1fs]

Yeah, like slowbro's and Blaziken's buff are just a feint, but is is just ☠️

[@justadragonnamemarcus1751]

But trick room works it's just needs atk buff in the square area

[@0DarrenMeredith0]

I've been using trick room and shadow claw to great effect. If the have ranged attackers it half's the damage if the enemy isn't in trick room and all the tyranatars can't hit me cause I just dash around them. Or the problem with shadow sneak. Is unless there's a wild Pokemon around to try and escape you have to engage or use it on your enemies. Where trick room I can chase down or run away easier. Also 1 dash and one a press shadow claw is back up and ready to heal me. I also just stood in my trick room and just let an enemy Pikachu do unite and it did absolutely no damage. 😂😂

[@kuruminightcore326]

6:25 Casually avoids Infinite Psyburn

[@crazyhorse7314]

Yes 😭😂!

[@i_ntel]

And yet the machamp buff is submission damage and 20 spdef and def 💀 what a joke

[@Maaarrrrk]

Ye the grab damage or something idk

[@RemeTiers]

what machamp buffs?

[@Sneaky_Silent]

@@RemeTiers exactly.

[@thingsidoomed]

@@RemeTiersHe meant the ones from months ago

[@RedHairyFox]

I am still asking, WHY DOES IT HAVE FKING INVINCIBILITY ON PLAY ROUGH??? I SWEAR IT ALREADY ALMOST ONE SHOTS EVERY TIME

[@Pokeysanic]

Skill Issue dude, learn how to avoid the range of Play Rough

[@heatrez4761]

⁠​⁠@@Pokeysanicyeah good advice expect shadow sneak fears you aka stuns you so you are never going to miss a play rough unless you snap back or the target uses full heal to remove the fear

[@VM-gy8bm]

​@@Pokeysanicshall we test your supposed skills then? I rarely miss a play rough when I'm playing mimi, and avoiding it is doggone near impossible. I'm sure we'd all be happy if you put your money where your mouth is and prove that it's a skill issue.

[@joebowl8315]

Skill issue 👌

[@VioletMilks]

Reminds me of a game where I was playing Machamp, losing most the game but I clutched and came through in the final team fight with my Unite. I killed 4 enemies except Mimikyu and my health was pretty low too, but I had 2 teammates left alive so easy win right? NOPE! Mimikyu just comes in and wipes us all out with play rough before I could even base cause it instantly resets with SS and has invincibility, so I couldn’t even do anything. And then I lost.

[@svodkosci]

Play rough could deal more damage but they should replace the immunity with damage resistance, its not an All-rounder move at this point

[@rasyawahyu4283]

Yes that immunity is so stupid there is literally no counter play

[@danielvandam]

@@rasyawahyu4283 lamest move in the game with volt tackle

[@tkbreen1381]

Hitting shadow sneak but missing play rough feels like making a halfcourt shot then missing your teammates high five

[@UltimateRaven]

Cris, it was Shadow Sneak that got buffed. Not Play Rough. The new CD on Shadow Sneak is the proof. It used to be 9 sec but now it’s 8 sec while it’s 7 sec from 8 sec in + version. So, Mimikyu got both Shadow Claw and Shadow Sneak buffs. Should’ve buffed Trick Room.

[@user-cd5ql4wo4z]

Yeah right. Play rough got buffed for just reducing opponent's speed.

[@jamesperrott1]

Dude can you not read patch notes or what Why are you coming here trying to say what you “feel” got buffed when we literally know all 3 moves were

[@UltimateRaven]

@@jamesperrott1 I have no words on your rude comment. If you know it, then sure. Not everyone knows it like you do. So, if you are rude, not my problem. Besides, I already confirmed it and yes, I have read the patch notes and some have mistakes. Like the website has written Dragon Rush and its + version got buffed when in reality, it’s Dragon Rush and Dragon Claw. I am pointing out mistakes. That’s it, nothing more.

[@user-nz7hl9jr9f]

​@@jamesperrott1he is right When I checked unite db which hasn't updated this patch details showed that shadow sneak has 9s cooldown and the + has 8 but if you go in-game rn you'll see that shadow sneak has 8s and + has 7s But play rough before the patch had 7.5s and still is 7.5 meaning the cooldown hasn't buffed at all Timi couldn't even check before uploading the patch notes

[@user-nz7hl9jr9f]

It's actually a mistake they did They mentioned play rough instead of shadow sneak which was actually buffed

[@danangdwiatmojo9696]

8:20 oh i hit him (shadow) 8:22 and i miss (play rough) 😂

[@crazyhorse7314]

Yes😂!

[@mohdfaiz1107]

5:05 same I don't wanna miss that shot too😂

[@TheKennyDubz]

I played with that Gardevoir a few hours ago. That player seemingly has no thoughts when playing to answer your question Cris.

[@ElChicoBush]

Worst part is that this could've been a good opportunity to buff Trick Room, if they really wanted to highlight the pokémon even more

[@Alexandertheo]

Finding out about mimikyu getting a holowear from this video is nauseatingly exciting. I rarely speak on the character in fear of nerfs but I’m genuinely so happy I can keep clearing w it.

[@jamesperrott1]

There’s so many options for play rough they could have gone with, unstoppable, damage reduction, gives you a shield They even call it a “defensive state” in the patch notes But no, full invincibility ever few seconds, so so fair

[@mohdfaiz1107]

They should have buffed trick room nothing other than that should not been touched.

[@NIGHTWINGEX]

Nerfing blastoise n buffing slowbro was soooo dumb

[@talonitex6441]

Damn why are they buffing mimikyu omg

[@ItsThePapist]

You’re missing the bottom regi with shadow sneak because you need to be a little closer to the edge of the grass to make it stretch longer.

[@junioredge9674]

This Mon has always been in my top 8 mons

[@loginan6179]

Why choose play rough over s.claw...!? PR longer CD, longer animation but same dmg amount as s.claw

[@Belesprit656]

At least they didn't buff shadow sneak like the video title.

[@Abc_132]

They did buff shadow sneak actually, the title was originally play rough

[@Lobowskee]

Dude I don’t want to see this Pokémon more often than I already do!!! 😢

[@silveredfred]

This is why I just auto run Shedinja Doll whenever I see an enemy Mimikyu in draft, regardless of what I’m playing as (shame I gotta grind to 1400 to get to that point now ;w; ).

[@MOST-CONFIDENT]

mimikyu got many counters like some perma cc mon or a mon that can insta kill. being an absol carry destroys mimikyu just psycho cut into unite and his death before he realizes it. that combo actually does so much damage that if you fluff tail rayquaza it does half his health. but the unite is multiple hits not one big secure so prob don't try it as a secure move it's just best to kill a 'still' target like a decidueye unite or a delphox or gardevoir.

[@user-nz7hl9jr9f]

Even if they wanted to buff mimi for the hollowear for it they should have buffed trick Room shadow sneak was already the better one

[@sarnasingh2132]

Amazing 👍🔥

[@williammurray7520]

Timi’s patch model should be case studied for how to kill balance in a video game. Almost as bad as blizzard… almost

[@eViLPaCcc]

What's this "Treeck Rume" everyone in the comments keeps talking about? Mimikyu only has one button on level 7

[@user-vd6tm1ui3m]

test blaziken next

[@NotKhangl]

I lost while playing mimikyu with 19 kills and 148k damage😅 Shadow claw healing is busted with it 1s reset every auto attack

[@NoremacNavire]

drinking game: every time he misses a play rough

[@anuradharanjan5801]

Did you just change the title mah guy?

[@CrisHeroes]

yes they made a mistake in the patch notes apperantly

[@anuradharanjan5801]

Nah THEY MADE MANY MISTAKES They nerfed mah main guy scizor scyther bruh am angyy😭

[@anuradharanjan5801]

Content creators don't have influence right?

[@anuradharanjan5801]

I want my guy back

[@ASMRbyJIO]

feel bad for mamoswine.

[@Kenma32041]

You carry this fight so hard

[@rossnsuchthangs]

Gotta aim for registeel's legs not it's giant head/ body.

[@AntiStreamlabs]

Devs trying to buff trick room on mimikyu(impossible)

[@KleverThumbs]

Shadow claw and play rough got a buff not SHADOW SNEAK! Retest this!

[@CrisHeroes]

no apperantly patch notes were wrong in shadow sneak was buffed honestly im confsued right now

[@raptorrex]

Play rough is such a dumb move

[@jakobi9290]

Absolutely stupid to buff mimikyu, was already strong and tough to deal with.

[@fen_u9401]

they deadass buffed play rough AGAIN. before making trickroom even remotely viable i am beyond baffled.

[@blazie42069]

Shadow claw I kinda understand giving it more healing but WHY PLAY ROUGH

[@unknown-gy9ki]

What should I buy for this season blaziken aur mimickyu ?.

[@Th3FN]

Both great all rounders but blaziken is more difficult to play but its up to you, i found blaziken more fun to play for me

[@Oliver-uz1fs]

Mimikyu is likely to join ban list so Blaziken

[@SergalCheeseHead]

If you want something that's half braindead, pick Mimikyu If you want something that will take some brain power, pick Blaziken

[@taohuman4940]

Meh, ez counter with slowbro. Telekenesis this clown then scald then boom. Its hunting szn for me.

[@user-oh5vv6zu5y]

Mimikyu unite can also counter slowbro

[@daphenomenalz4100]

Pokemon Developers do not even play their own game or atleast infer the stats, usage and what people want nerfed after every patch, it's pretty clear lmao

[@blu6600]

it was already op after they made it invincible

[@prizm2775]

Why nobody complains about wild charge zeraora but everyone complains about play rough mimi

[@Mafara69]

cuz wild charge sucks; it targets the highest hp mon from the opposing team, you have to build up the damage with spark first, higher cooldown, combined with shadow sneak is miles better than with spark, and overall zera being a worse mon stat wise and ability wise compared to mimi.

[@MOST-CONFIDENT]

@@Mafara69 you don't know how to play zera if this is your opinion .

[@Mafara69]

@@MOST-CONFIDENT or you don't know how to play other mons, or never played against a meta team while playing zera. Wild charge zera stands no chance against an actual good team.

[@MOST-CONFIDENT]

@@Mafara69 mimikyu stands no chance against a good team either one pikachu volt tackle into blastoise cc and his done for. one absol unite and his done. delphox firespin to cc him then a leafeon unite . mimikyu has no possible chance against good teams what mon does?

[@raizen4597]

This buff make no sense more than slowbro

[@nightbarongaming3237]

You're rusty on mmq lol. Missing all those shadow sneaks and play roughs. That's one good thing, at least it's not point and click

[@Café_le_vulpix]

I havent been playing unite long, but am in veteran 1... How hard would you say games are if the opponents get rayquaza (even if your team is in the lead)

[@FunandGamesz]

Is the patch out now?

[@user-cd5ql4wo4z]

Guys Shadow sneak cooldown was buffed. Not play rough...

[@CrisHeroes]

no? only shadow claw and play rough not shadow sneak

[@user-cd5ql4wo4z]

​​@@CrisHeroes play rough cooldown was already 7.5s. It was broken when the cooldown was 5s and got nerfed to 7.5s.

[@user-cd5ql4wo4z]

​@@CrisHeroesShadow sneak cooldown was 9s and 8s(upgraded). Now on. 8s and 7s(upgraded)

[@Kaos835]

​@user-cd5ql4wo4z yeah ur right. I checked old mini footage and the cd is the same for play rough.

[@beasttyyy]

Play rough cooldown : 9s-->8s​@@user-cd5ql4wo4z

[@11inch41]

Sick mimikyu gameplay. Thinking on playing him again?

[@allanandriel7448]

Arceus have mercy one us, again

[@StickBruh3rd]

Praying Arkoos for our life, no more PR Mimikyu meta

[@diegoruiz5210]

I love how you missed 70 % shadow sneak 😂

[@user-nz7hl9jr9f]

When the drowsiness kicks in xd

[@nightfrost3041]

Gotta sell that battle pass

[@nikolasandrew1003]

Mimikyu is kind of like a Speedster with a lil bulk and i’m here for it 😂❤

[@TheAntiSpider]

Don't complain Chris just play the game

[@abhyudaymishra5426]

Sir i need help please

[@ItzMiKeKirbY]

This buff makes *zero* sense.

[@MOST-CONFIDENT]

the world does not revolve around sense nor logic.

[@ashishgaming958]

No

Yeah lets buff play rough guys but nerf leafeon movement speed! Moron developers
