ChrisHOST
But it's the combi- that's what I'm saying, it's the combination of-
MarkHOST
Yeah, it is better than Politoed
Alistair SandoverPANELIST
... and, and, and it's got good moves, yeah.
MarkHOST
Yeah, it's better than Politoed because unlike Politoed, Pelipper itself can make use of the weather, whereas Politoed, I mean, it kind of can.
MarkHOST
It boosts its Weather Ball and its Body Smash, whatever, but-
ChrisHOST
It's also s- surprisingly bulky when you want it to be, especially if you run Sitrus Berry.
MarkHOST
It's like you, you have to run Pelipper-
ChrisHOST
Mm
FrankHOST
Gosh, I'm sorry, my throat, I got a frog in my throat all of a sudden.
FrankHOST
Or should I say a Politoed? [laughs]
JoachimHOST
Kill.
JoachimHOST
[laughs] Die.
Carl WilkinHOST
Um, notable things, this Golisopod is the Drill Run set because we do have the Trick Room on Farigiraf, so Sucker Punch isn't as necessary as it usually is.
Carl WilkinHOST
Um, no Tailwind on Pelipper leads me to believe that you probably could have played, uh, Politoed, the obviously better rain setter.
Carl WilkinHOST
Um-
Carter NobleHOST
Obviously.
6 MINS LATER
Carl WilkinHOST
[chuckles] I like it a lot.
Carl WilkinHOST
This might be something I start playing with.
Carl WilkinHOST
I, uh, having Staraptor means I'm not sure if I want Pelipper because I think I would rather play Politoed still.
Carl WilkinHOST
I, I'm a big fan of Politoed in general over Pelipper.
FrankHOST
"Weather changes to heavy rain when the Pokémon enters the battle." Now, any ability that automatically summons weather, always gonna be sought after, always gonna be overpowered.
FrankHOST
Only, like I, I think, before I look, only, like, three Pokémon have Drizzle: Kyogre, Pelipper, ironically, and Politoed.
FrankHOST
And yep, as of, yeah, that's always been the case.
FrankHOST
That, that has always been the case.
Blind CrazinessHOST
[laughs]
Stafford ShireHOST
[laughs] Was it the Politoed that was missing? [laughs]
Blind CrazinessHOST
Yeah.
Blind CrazinessHOST
We, but we had a different water type.
Lumran MayashaHOST
But yeah, so in the games, as a held item, a King's Rock, you know, causes, uh, the opponent Pokemon to flinch, uh, in reaction to the holder's moves.
Lumran MayashaHOST
But it also can be used to evolve certain Pokemon, uh, namely Politoed, uh, and...
Lumran MayashaHOST
Oh, no, mainly Poliwhirl into Politoed, and then Slowpoke into Slowking.
speaker_0HOST
Mm-hmm.
speaker_0HOST
Mm-hmm.
Carter NobleHOST
Play any other mega and it's probably better." But I also think that is, like, the team I was playing, not, like, the problem with Golisopod.
Carl WilkinHOST
I think Golisopod's best partner is Politoed.
AngeloHOST
Yeah.
AngeloHOST
The Golisopod-Rain teams that are popping up, which Golisopod-Rain did go and finish second place at VR this week.
Tony of PrideHOST
And as I said before, shout out to ZZ Wireless, who ended up taking the win in that championship.
Tony of PrideHOST
So ZZ Wireless' team was Clodzire, Florgis, Shadowsaberlight, Corviknight, Chargebug, and Politoed.
RicarioHOST
Politoed?
Tony of PrideHOST
Yeah, Politoed has been getting around for a little while now since Mudshot got rebuffed again.
Tony of PrideHOST
So not even Poliwrath? No, no way.
Tony of PrideHOST
Politoed has Weatherball, so it's just way more
RicarioHOST
consistent.
RicarioHOST
Okay.
Chris HahnHOST
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chris HahnHOST
Uh, Dan Walker got, um, top eight with Salamence, Armarouge, Sneasler, Indeedee, Politoed, A- Archaludon.
Chris HahnHOST
Now, can I just say though-
Mark MurrayHOST
No, no, no, you, you can't just read that out.
Mark MurrayHOST
Sorry, the Psychic Seed boost
Kiran SinghGUEST
So, I'll tell you a funny story after you finish round two
Chris HahnHOST
Politoed Choice Scarf, Drizzle, Timid
Kiran SinghGUEST
[laughs]
Stafford ShireHOST
open or no a little bit of both so you can you you almost need like a wild card pick to kind of like throw people off as you saw with rick flurry on with that shadow a9 and which if you're looking at the top 16, some meta like off meta picks, I wouldn't say off meta, but Rillaboom is on there.
Stafford ShireHOST
You have Wolfpack running Politoed and Alolan Sandslash, which Alolan Sandslash in K9 and Mill Meadow is kind of crazy.
Stafford ShireHOST
Yeah.
Stafford ShireHOST
The, uh, Kelly boys running, uh, about on, which we saw when worlds with, um, Hiromaru with his shadow hip out on.
