It’d be cool if you showed your wins/losses while you’re searching for a game and show your current placing like how you show other peoples’ current placing
me: *reads the team sheet* still me: "JAPANEEEEEEEESE"
Videos about other legendaries: “This legendary is Insane!!!” Video about giratina: “is it even worth it?” Poor Giratina making James question everything 😂
Keep going with the unpopular restricteds James, I really appreciate that! Is not great seeing the same Pokémon, doing the same thing all the time And answering your question on the video title, yes it is, you just need to be good, because some Pokémon are not that easy to use..
Music goes hard! Is this from battle revolution?
how could giratina become viable? like redistributing stats or change types or abilities
It just doesn't hit hard enough. GF gave it equal points in A and Sp.A when it doesn't need both. Take some points out of Sp.A and stick them in Attack and Speed and it would be viable imo. I like its typing, it makes sense thematically, but yeah Ghost/Dragon is never going to be ideal when that makes you weak to both Calyrexes.
it could be the trick room counterpart of calidow at least in its original form by moving like half the attack and speed to special attack and for the bound form remove from the special attack and put in speed and attack
He is viable, just isn't meta, and he doesn't need to be. He is fine right now. One of the only Pokémon that could counter Primal Groudon that good.
no. its not worth using, james.
Yes it is, not sure about that set tho. But specially if you have a brain and skills. You don't need to use Meta Pokémon all the time, that just shows how bad you are depending on certain "viable Pokémon" to have some wins.
@@zashinunes8191 now i really wanna know your peak showdown, rank on cart and if you have ever been to any regional and whats your record been
I liked the second form of team sheet with extra info like EV spreads! It seemed like it was for maybe the earlier form of the team though? Torn had Scary Face instead of Leer
Nope lol
Giratina and Lugia are restricteds that feel like youre using no restricteds imo lol
At least Lugia got the Multiscale and bulk lol
why does the ots say leer tor but the sheet with evs show scary fave
Choice specs farigiraf seems cool may not be as effective in open team sheet format but it’s a nice tech tbh
I really can't see this pokemon and this team working in an open team sheets format. Japan Nationals is notorious for being CTS and just hoping you cheese your opponent out.
First time I've seen all-Choice I think.
a lot of them on 222 teams with scarf tatsu, specs chi yu, banded dnite
@@Mossberggwdym
@@zashinunes8191deez nuts
absolutely brutal video title lmao
Why you think that?
Fast farf interesting man
I was begging for a Giratina comeback!!
babe wake up james baek posted about giratina
Hi Mr James
39:00 I don't think was very good you hard switch to Ursa like that, she is very bulky and you had many shots to actually survive with that, as you did, that was another win con for sure
Misty Terrain + Swagger on Grim to support Caly can be really good in my opinion
pikachu💀
U gotta make a vid about the wo chien ogre shenanigans
Final Gambit scarf ape a throwback to series 1
"bl bl bl bl bl bl bl!" - Electabuzz
Does feint get increased priority
Yep, it's 2 priority
WHAT is that rhydon sprite 😭
Random thought: the reason turtle boy “distorts type matchups” is to shut down Koraidon’s improved collision course on super effective hits.
Why not rage fist?
bc u need to get hit to get rage fist boosted and scarf annihilape on this team is more useful as final gambit to set up for tr sweepers. so shadow claw is stronger as a fast one turn move
JUSTICE 🔥 you’re the best man lol
Hey James, First of all great video! I’m the player in the first game. Thanks for the great battle! Didn’t know it was u. If I only knew the buzz set😭. I knew it was popping up here and there and I also didn’t why I went for the double protect. I think I was running out of time, idk. Should’ve always hh barrage or protect the clef and attack with csr. Lets battle again someday!!
Coaching calyrex ice is getting annoying. I see fighting tupes everywere
Are you getting annoyed at its repetitiveness or its effectiveness? If simply the latter, is there anything preventing you from just building around such a strategy?
@@omefrfr its efective, i have ways to deal with it, but still anooying
awesome vid! also what was the first battle theme? that was a bop lol
Team Skull Admin Theme
@jameswbaekpkmn thanks dude!
When are people going to realize that I have cracked the code Glowking with mental herb trick room and chilly reception is literally the best thing for Calyrex ICE
What was with the Close Combat looking like it hit their own Caly-Shadow in Game 1?? Edit: ooooh, it was James’ Close Combat into their Caly. Just due to (lack of) animation since Protect blocked, it looked like Mienshao attacked twice lol
man that second protect
Nice video as always James! I hope everyone here gets the "hawk tuah" and spit on that thang
😂😂
Aye man……. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
ain’t no way 😭
What?
third
Second lol
First!
rly good bo1 team i've been using since 1 month
Coaching jokes for days
Insane how you kind of won turn one in that first game
I hope they keep giving hariyama unique tools so he can stay relevant even in a meta game with iron hands
For the tyranitar fans was a nice move
Oh, they're using the Present Paradox form of Iron Hands!
the anti synergy with sand + a focus sash mon is a bit too cheesy for me
Ah yes, Skin Hands, one of my favorite Pokemon.
I would love to test something with Body Press instead of Tera Blast on the Calyrex. Can put more into Defense than Attack with the boosts you can pick up off Endeavor or how Coaching can boost both... I dunno. Would have to do some calcs.
Dam i got cooked
