Behind The Team: 5th Gen NU.

So for the first time thought that I would record me making a team and maybe it's something you guys will enjoy.

Such a great video, in depth description, competitive thinking, not even boring since you're constantly narrating and typing. Awesome, awesome job.

I'm a pretty huge Torkoal fan as well, he has massive defense and received a huge blessing in air balloon. Without lefties he's fairly vulnerable but can pull off suicide sets and is a good wish pass candidate

Scott, I really like this video, it's better than any tutorial I've seen to date :D

[FlamingFaith]

Thank you so much for uploading this. It's really helpful to see how you take the metagame into consideration when constructing a team. Though I'm not very experienced in the NU tier, I think it's worth mentioning that Cryogonal could make a decent rapid spinner. The stealth rock weakness hurts a lot. but it does have access to recover and its great special defense allows it to wall a good deal of special oriented pokes. Also, you should really stop being lazy and use return over retaliate.

For my RU Team I use a F/W/G core in Screens & Taunt Serperior, Wish Passing Alomomola, Rocks and Spinning Torkoal(Decent, fire type for core, and needed for spinning Toxic Spikes), with Eviolite Max HP and Max SAtk Magneton with Volt Switch to Trap and Counter Klinklang and Swellow, Jolly Scarf Braviary for U-turn and being a good revenge killer in general, and SubCM Mesprit to set up using the Screens late game.

I do this too, write it out and all that stuff, really helps out what you want to do.

[Sabin]

Still haven't finished watching, it's quite long but I'll make time to sit down and finish it, it looks really interesting

[TheEvilRohanite]

Very interesting to watch, good stuff as always Pwnobi. :D

[Graceclaw]

Thanks tons! I've never heard of that core, I'll have to try it out somewhere! Been looking to replace my old offensive RU team because it's outdated =/ Maybe I'll try it there. Really appreciate the vid!

[stuffgar]

Butbutbut... Scolipede is SOOOO GOOD as a sweeper...

[Sabin]

@Rsphazonking Can't trap with Balloon, and gets practically ohkoed from any priority move

[Pwnobi]

@TheMrShadowblaze Because I run him as a defensive set not suicide spiker ..

[Pwnobi]

@GunMonkey696 I have, everyone keeps suggesting that. I don't like it. After giga impact you can't switch, however after retaliate even with truant you can.

[Pwnobi]

@zitroooz It can, just not with new abilities.

[JaydenRecard]

Miltank is the best pokemon ever. Great HP, defense, moves and its a fucking cow!

[Pwnobi]

@MasterOfPokemonAndy I already have a game posted with it!

[Quickbobhero]

Thank you! I need to make a balanced NU team and this helped! :)

[pknova]

Isn't Eviolite Wartortle a really good rapid spinner in NU? Haven't played in a few weeks but think it is NU lol. and decent FWG cores off the top of my head can be Wartortle, (Toxic) Spikes Roselia, and Magmortar/Combusken with like Heal Belling Altaria/Miltank lol idk :P nice vid though twas fun listening too.

[TheMrTehawesome]

I like minus speed nature, max hp max sp atck, 1 speed iv, and eviolite on my magneton.

[Themasterksd]

Instead of musharna i would run a beheeyee
