Real YouTubists, don't need to make intros, the fans in the comments, have got their backs So there I was, clicking on the new Wolfey video, when I heard Wolfey say that he had had no time to make an intro for this video. It was then that I knew what I had to do. "Wolfey has always been there with great intros for me," I said to myself, "now it's my turn to be there for him." So I scrolled down, and typed this comment.

I’m so sad as soon as Palossand was shown in the DLC I tried thinking of this but it completely slipped my mind that Accelgor got Water Shuriken. I was just hoping Greninja would be added into the next DLC so I could do this. Oh well, the smarter minds beat me to it

Interesting that the calc here has the talonflame running Sharp Beak and not Choice Band (scarf is a little redundant obviously.) I mean, it's never out of the question since Bisharp likes to run Black Glasses to boost Sucker Punch while still getting access to Swords Dance, but I personally would have run Choice Band.

So, i recently used a Pallosand + Calyrex (Ghost) build, Talonflame for it's garunteed Tailwind start, Wailord, and either Corviknight, or Blissy (who had like 600 hp dynamaxed, this thing was a tank in hp and defense stats for like no reason.) This build took down a speed based Charizard, Rillaboom, and Lucario team (I forget his 4th pokemon..) and Regileki, Incen, Rillaboom, Calyrex (Ice), Urshifu, and I'll be honest he never used his 6th so i don't remember it, but.. wow was this a fun run as well. He was using optimal builds for that team as well, straight up looked it up, watched your videos constantly for tips and builds, and honestly had a very good team. But like, Sand wiped him due to 6 defense ups, and guaranteed Tailwind, Wailord had Brine and Water spout, as well as Rest, and it was some move that increased his sp atk and defense by 2. Completley destroyed his incen, as it gave a garanteed Pallosand, Calyrex's ghost barrage just did amazing group damage, and there's always the start of Calyrex and Pallo. Which one am i gonna Dynamax?
