Happy to announce that I have put this team up as a rental! It was too fun not to share - code is 1CGC1S, enjoy!

Now we need the banana boi himself: Tropius and his ability of gaining infinite berries out of nowhere

[MarieSahin-llel]

So cozy! I love the feel of these videos, they always put me at ease and I love how you feature off-meta Pokemon. Please keep this series running (and I'd love to tune in if you ever stream your attempts live).

[Marblegamingmaster]

Ampha’s one of my favorite Pokémon. I’m glad to see he’s getting some love in competitive battling, where he doesn’t seem he would do well there.

[raincasualties]

Last night I was searching for an Ampharos strat—saw your channel and I thought how you feature off-meta pokemon is sick! Checking your channel today and seeing this vid uploaded 4 mins ago?? With my fav mon???? I’m definitely using this strat, keep it up!

[mrjohndoeism]

Ahhhh thank you for covering Ampharos! You’ve also gotten really good at doing live commentary too - I remember you saying that was something you wanted to work on, and I think you’ve been doing great! I absolutely love this series. My favorites other than Ampharos are Espeon and Brambleghast if you’re still taking suggestions!

[nateh]

another episode of my favorite series. A suggestion for a future video is Meganium. I’ve always had a soft spot for Chikorita and Bayleef because of the anime, and it always felt like it was the most forgotten/least loved starter, so would love to see it finally get some love. If it just doesn’t have the tools to make it work I get it, but just throwing the idea out there

Give Ampharos tail glow gamefreak! It literally has a glowy tail!

[ihavebedhead]

Medicham should go next I mean the fact that he has a higher attack stat than Azumarill with the same ability and a solid speed yet he is never used

[JGTtoday]

Would love to see you use krookodile in the future, it only has 0.02% usage despite being decent. Maybe you could make use of anger point with super luck scope lens night slash honchcrow (another unseen mon)

[bychamcfarland]

Ampharos has always been a personal fav electric mon of mine. I love seeing someone make use of it and I'm here for this.

[ep]

I respect the fact that you used plus and minus. I thought they were just meme abilities for the longest time lol

[GuamGunderthol]

I have really enjoyed this series so far and there are so many Pokémon you can do this with. You probably have a massive queue for this but if you ever run out, may I throw Yanmega’s hat into the ring?

This reminded me of a gimmick Mega Ampharos set I ran back in Gen 6. It knew Confuse Ray, Charge Beam, Dragon Pulse and Signal Beam. I had fully invested into it's Def and used its regular form to fish for Para off of Static on the enemy. Then I'd Mega, Confuse them and spam Charge Beam to raise it's Sp. Atk before going in with Dragon Pulse. Ultimately, the set was more of a nuisance than a threat and it would usually only defeat 1 or 2 enemy Pokemon but it was a silly little troll set that I enjoyed. In hindsight, I should have dropped Signal Beam for Thunder Wave and Mega'd immediately, but at the time, I was just trying to compress as much utility into Ampharos as possible.
Nice seeing you get some use out of the silly naked sheep, I didn't know it can run Meteor Beam these days, so that makes your build tenuously similar to my Gen 6 Mega set with Sp. Ark boosting! XD

[Kool-AidDealer]

this video made me take back my "irredeemable" stance to ampharos competitively
great video as always!

[xKarenWalkerx]

Does anyone else think Jasmine and Byron were married and their son is Roark?

[sagittariussage]

A must have for any johto run IMO. Especially in the remakes with the spec split

[emiliohernandez]

Ampharos and its pre-evos are collectively amongst my favorite Pokémon of all time. I have one on my team wvery generation its available. Seeing it do well in competitive makes my heart very happy ❤

[daxdleader]

I don’t think meteor beam existed in gen 5 so to get the gen 5 art of meteor beam for that one second clip shows a lot of love went into this. Oh and tera blast didn’t exist either lol

[Vanilla]

suggestion: maybe vespiquen in the next poll, I almost never see it in VGC but I love to use it in casual playthroughs. vespiquen is definitely in my favorite bug types along with scolipede and volcarona.
