ABOUT THE REPLAYS: tell me if you apriciate the THEORYMONED REPLAYS more or if you want to see google slides back, next time ill make the replays public, so you can check them out yourself on HamsterTestAccount on pokemonshowdown.com. yes it makes me feel awqward to play against me, but what have I been doing in text form the whole time lol? I tried to make the replays to be more of a picture of a worst case scenario anyways, I actaullY feel playing someone else is easier, since you can have room for prediction/reading.

40:23 Counters and how to beat it
Hello and welcome to the pokemon sword and shield VGC 2021 series 8 metagame monday, where teach players of all skill levels (beginners and tryhard veterans alike), whats the state of one particular meta team. This includes of how to beat it, how to use it or what kind variants of the team there can be. Firstly, if there are multiple varinats of the team, I go over all of them, and then I team building the team. Then I look at each member, and in the pokemon showdown teambuilder, I explain what kind of moveset, set or EV spread is the most optimal for them. And lastly, I go over the matchups of the team and how to play it in google slides presentation guide. and the the end of it, I even go over the easy counters.
Todays episode is all about calyrex shadow rider and its hyper offence shenenigans. With astral barrage, not only it has extremely scary max phantasm, but it also has astral barrage, which is fantastic double target 120 base power move, making calyrex not only potent dynamax sweeper, but also sweep without dynamax. It also has mud shot, which if it gets made into max quake, it has very high chance of OHKOing incineroar! Expanding force on calyrex is used alongside helping hand follow me indeedee, making for some powerfull psychic terrain psy spam. The team also has whimsicott, which setups tailwind and goes for moonblasts to get rid off pesky dark types for calyrex shadow rider. one more pokemon that gets rid of pesky dark ytpes is thundurus with its defiant abillity. incineroar is often forced to lead against this team to stop a calyrex shadow rider sweep, but if we lead thundurus instead, we get a free defiant boost, which often leads to our sweep . chandelure on this team has one purpose: stop trick room at all costs. it has two ways to do it, either with imprison trick room combination or taunt, yes chandelure gets taunt! and last but not least there is urshifu rapid strikes with choice band, very powefull attacker that doesnt require dynamax to be scary with its surging strikes, close combat and aqua jet . enjoy today episode!
