 Hello friends. Hope you're all doing well. Welcome to today's video We're gonna try something a little bit different in today's video because obviously we've been putting out some videos recently They'd have been pretty highly edited like I'm shouting at you about things and I just wanted to kind of strip it back Do something a bit more conversational today because I want to talk about Terasolizing a little bit more in-depth than we've been talking about in regards to team building in particular because I feel like it's a really important aspect of Terasolizing and how much it will have an impact in competitive play when these new games do drop So we'll hop over and we'll take a look at some different screens. Obviously. We know about Terasolizing we know that you're gonna be able to have any Terotype on your Pokemon. They might not be available at the start of the games But pretty much essentially in the end We're gonna be able to have any single Pokemon with any single Terotype and that's pretty pretty unique pretty amazing It's a pretty interesting mechanic. Obviously, there's a bunch of stuff about the mechanic itself that we don't know yet Presuming that we can only terrestrialize one Pokemon per battle But once we do that it it seems like it's gonna act a bit like a mega evolution where it's gonna stay on that Pokemon Even if you switch it out until that Pokemon faints or the battle ends So it's a pretty cool mechanic and it's got a bunch of different layers to it There's a lot of conversations about should we be using it one way or using it another way And I don't think it's probably the best way to kind of look at it like that But specifically like I said in today's video I want to talk about it in particular with team building and how it'll affect team building going forward in Pokemon scholar and violet in particular because If we just take for example, if I'm just gonna pull up a team here I don't know any particular team, but we'll use my world's 2014 team because I know the specific weaknesses around that. It's in in my brain. So we have more while we have Tyranitar, Garchomp, we have Zapdos, Polytod and Luda Kolo Now this team obviously got top 8 at Worlds that yeah, so performed pretty well And it did the job that it needed to but good friend of mine Ben Kiriaki might know One of probably the best UK players that we've ever had in Pokemon competitive leave video game wise did point out to me after the tournament How much of a weakness my team did have to Ferrothon and it was a massive oversight for myself because at the time Ferrothon really wasn't something that was played a lot in the 14 format You saw it occasionally, but it was something that I didn't really think about and again Even if I did think about it going into the tournament. It was probably one of those Pokemon where I thought, okay Well at this stage in my team building it does everything that I needed to do against the things that I expect to see a lot I'm just gonna have to take the L the big loss on those matchups if I face them and hopefully I don't face too many of them In the event and that's a kind of common trend that you see when a lot of players or team building and a lot of different formats a Lot of different generations where you can't cover Everything because it's impossible with six Pokemon. You've got four move slots per Pokemon You need to incorporate strategies in that you need to incorporate speed control and a bunch of other tools That just don't allow you to cover everything. There is no single one perfect Pokemon team Some people might argue that but I would definitely disagree You're always gonna have like weaknesses in your team building But I do believe with Terastalizing that kind of compensates a lot of those holes that you're gonna have in your team and Kind of patches those up not to the extent where you're gonna be able to be like Okay, my team is perfect. I'm gonna be everything. No single team can beat this team But I do think it makes it a lot harder to have those holes in your team if you're building your team correctly Like for example, I could just go. Oh, well, let's see. What would make a good Terra fire type on my team. Hmm. Maybe mega more while mega more Wow would make a great terror type and obviously for context of this video I know that we can't get Megas in Scarlet and Violet as if yet We probably never will but just for the context of this video for this team that we're talking about Mega more while would have made a great fire terror type and that would have covered for that Farathorn weakness perfectly because then I don't have to use it all the time I can capitalise on what more miles meant to be in the team for but at the same time if Farathorn pops onto the field I can think well I could just turn it into a fire type and if I really thought that was an a big enough issue I could say well, let's turn Zapdos into a fire type or polytored into a fire type And just to kind of cover that and give you that extra damage I see not all of these examples gonna make sense in particular to this team But I'm just using these as references to what you can do to make up the coverage issues that you're gonna have We'll go back to the Farathorn where the Farathorn in most generations most formats that you've played it in It has an easy win condition You get rid of the fire types and then Farathorn pretty much wins the game because your opponent doesn't have a way to deal with it But if you do that going into Scarlet and Violet you think okay. Well, I can get rid of the fire type Now Farathorn is gonna have a way easier time to perform in the rest of this game It's gonna be able to close it up Nothing's really gonna be able to hit it for enough damage to remove it from the field But then once you've removed the fire type you've got to keep in mind Then there's three other Pokemon in your opponent's team that could all have that fire type to rastalization So you have to keep that in mind and it does work on the flip side of course as well where Farathorn could itself terastalize into a water type, you know to kind of combat that weakness But then that goes a bit more into depth about how you're using Terastalization in battles rather than the team-building aspect of it which we're talking about in this video So technically you can have six additional Coverage types in your team that is huge, you know You've never been able to have anything like that before in competitive play So you could make up everything that you're missing from your team the big holes that you're missing the big weaknesses in your team and Construct a Terra type per each Pokemon to really complement the rest of the team Because you're not gonna go into every battle and you're gonna be like well I'm gonna Terra this Pokemon this battle this Pokemon this battle It gives you the the option to have that flexibility to say right Well, if I come up against this threat, then what's my option here? Do I have options within my kind of standard six already? And if I don't what can I utilize in a Terra type fashion to? Maximize the team's kind of potential its coverage and everything like that And you can utilize that through coverage moves that you can normally see on Pokemon or through moves like Terra blast Which we're gonna have access to which plays off, you know It will be a physical type if your physical type attack is stronger or your special attack if your special attack is stronger So you're not even gonna be tied to not having a stab attack with those Terra transformations Now a lot of people are saying that they're probably the best way to use Terra types is gonna be going into that same Type and that you are in your base form So for something like Garchomp, you're gonna want to go into a ground a pure ground type because you get that double star boost And that is a very good point. But there are going to be situations. I think with terastalizing where Yeah, you can get that extra power if you want and that's probably primary how we will see Terastalizing played because players are gonna capitalize on throwing something like a life orb or a choice band onto a Garchomp Or something similar to a Garchomp and then going for that pure type to get the double star boost to ensure that they're getting Absolutely ridiculous amount of damage of every single turn that they're on the field So that is definitely one way of looking at it But the way that I would like to look at it as well And it's not something to discount because I do feel like it would really benefit a team synergy overall And it's just an aspect that I've been looking at is looking at other Typing because you're still gonna get a star boost on these attacks So if you're you're holding something like a choice band if you're holding something like a choice scarf You're still gonna get that same type attack bonus on the attacks if you're using something like terror blast Even if you turn into a different type then your kind of base Typing all because it gives you a different advantage. Doesn't it? It gives you a different coverage It gives you different Resists that you don't have before whereas if you're just going down that straight route Although you are putting out a lot of damage You're not making it more difficult for your opponent to kind of keep guessing about what terror Pokemon your Potential field Pokemon are gonna be if that makes sense So do you think there are a lot of different ways you can look at terasalizing in Pokemon in particular? And it does make sense to go for the biggest amount of power to be able to knock out your opponent's Pokemon before they can Knock yours out But there are also ways in which you can use Terasalizing as well to compliment your overall team synergy and I think that's something really that will will be able to Look a lot more in-depth that when these games come out when we actually have the practicality of being able to Dive into battles and see how teams actually function because at the minute obviously everything is up in the air It's just conjecture. No one really knows for sure what the best way is gonna be to use these Pokemon We don't know for instance there 100% what the star boost is gonna be There's just kind of theories on that from information that we gathered from Titbits from different trailers and things like that and kind of trying to work out from damage taken which is I guess a way of doing it But not an accurate way and we don't know what terra blast base power is gonna be yet Or if there are drawbacks with that move or if there's any other secondary things that we have to think about when we're Terasalizing in a battle we don't know all the information so at the minute It is all just conversations and I really enjoy it, but you know the thing is I think don't look at it in just one angle I think you know there are going to be so many multi different layers of being able to use Terasalization in Pokemon scholar and violet that are going to make it in probably in my opinion one of the best gimmicks So if we're calling it a gimmick one of the new mechanics that we have access to that We've had access to in a lot for a long time with a lot of generations And it is open to every single Pokemon Even if you are just limited to one Pokemon Terasalizing per battle as we assume you are it's just going to come down to a bit more of an art with when you terasalize in the match itself and Which Pokemon you use to terasalize to kind of try and overwhelm you upon or disrupt their strategy But there are a bunch of different ways to do it a bunch of different theories on it These are just my opinions and I thought I'd throw them down today to just get the conversation Started because I really like to hear your opinions your thoughts on Terasalizing how you feel it's going to work in the new games and What impact and how you see yourself using it when these games do drop? But I hope you've enjoyed today's video friends. I guess a little bit different Just wanted to talk about it a bit more conversationally and give an angle from my thoughts about how Terasalizing could be utilized not saying it is the exact right way to use it But I think there are different ways to kind of conceptualize it and use it in battle And it would be interesting to just put them down hear your thoughts and Go from there. So any more information that we get out on Terasalizing in Pokemon skull and violet course. I'm going to do an update So hopefully you catch that video when it does drop and we've got more information on it But if you don't want to miss it hit that sub button and make sure the notification bell is turned on So you don't miss anything when it comes out But have a great rest of your day friends. Take care of yourselves and I will see you in another video version since it'll end Take care. Bye. Bye
