Hey there!
This video in particular is my fifteenth battle in VGC 2022 on the official cartridge. This was embarrassing. I definitely knew Throat Chop was a common move on Galarian Zapdos, because I looked at how to use the shiny Galarian Zapdos we all got from the International Challenge March event. I just played very carelessly and got Peony so low so early. Maybe Boone was worth bringing over Strelitzia to support Franklin, who still lacked a move to turn into Max Strike when I recorded this. That's why I felt pressured to Dynamax Peony, except I didn't time it correctly. I also wonder if a Dynamax on Vanitas would have been better so that I got to keep Astral Barrage, as long as I got the screens up first and Vanitas was still healthy. Maybe Franklin was the sac for that game plan? But then the possible Ho-Oh in the back becomes a problem, so Strelitzia is probably the better sac considering that. As long as I got enough damage on Groudon while keeping Vanitas and Peony healthy, that could have been my out. Alkas may have also been worth bringing if I supported him early with Franklin to counteract Galarian Zapdos' Defiant. Lots to ponder over this game.
I hope that you can be inspired to get into competitive Pokémon, too, like so many other content creators have done (and are still trying to do) before me. I'm a vet when it comes to Showdown but a complete rookie when it comes to cartridge play in Sword. I do have some competitive experience in my Sun and Ultra Sun cartridges, but that's where my competitive journey in official hardware started, while I started way back in Gen IV with Shoddy Battle for battle simulators. I hope these videos will help you improve your team. Or at least get some ideas on how to enjoy these battles, especially if you get to incorporate your favorites.
If you like this type of video, I would very much appreciate it if you share this or my other videos with your friends and colleagues, so that I get motivated to keep making more of these and maybe help more people with their competitive Pokémon journey along the way.
Also, subscribe if you haven't yet! It can help remind you when I get a new video out.
Lastly, if you enjoyed this video, leave a like or comment, especially if I managed to help you out or entertain you in some way.
I'm really not good with video descriptions or titles, so I got a ton of inspiration with both from YuksVGC, who you should subscribe to, by the way. I hope this was okay. Thanks for reading and watching!
