  That first team alone. Made this video great. It honestly makes this entire series great. You liked the team, tore it new one, fixed it not even changing a single Pokémon. It was amazing. The rest of the video was pretty good too. I don&apos;t play singles at all but i really enjoy this series. Thanks for making these videos.

  Something I noticed with a lot of the less experienced team builds is that newer players seem to have an aversion to choice items, and I think a large part of that is being uncomfortable making mid ground plays and not predicting. Less experienced players I find tend to try to read their opponent every turn, and thus, feel really punished if they get a turn wrong while holding a choice item. The Gapdos on the first team is a perfect example, where your best play 90% of the time is just to blow something up with a STAB or pivot, which is very conducive to a choice item, yet the player added an expert belt, likely because they don’t like the pressure being locked in puts on them to “get the turn right” when they really shouldn’t be all too concerned in that position with making the perfect play. <br><br>Also, players try to tech on coverage for their counters waaayyy too often. Not every offensive pokemon can break through every wall, and that’s fine. You have 5 other slots to assist that pokemon in taking down that wall throughout the course of the game. It is infinitely worse to spend a move slot or an item slot, or a wonky EV spread or tera type to handle a wall, than it is to just have good teammates. <br><br>Like seriously, dedicating a whole move slot on porygon to psyshock just to do like 40% to blissey and give gambit a free switch? You have physical attackers and tons of pivoting on the team, you do NOT need to force porygon to beat blissey.<br><br>Also, you already have trick for anti-blissey lol.

  These teams would all really appreciate having Spidops, Harbinger of Doom on their side. Just because he’s a really cool guy.

  Wow, the first two teams here were really sick. Cool ideas and you did a fantastic job doctoring them. I feel like you&apos;re getting better at this? Its almost hard to tell because you&apos;re much better at teambuilding than me, but it seems like... I dunno, like you&apos;re better able to... find the harmony the teams desire. Because every team tells you what it needs, if you learn how to listen.<br><br>Good shit man, killer as always. This is my favorite series you do, because it&apos;s my favorite part of the game.
