0:38 Garchomp 2:50 Chandelure 5:19 Gangar 7:30 Goodra 10:53 Alolan Ninetails 13:11 Absol 16:14 Cramorant 18:39 Charizard 21:24 Mr. Mime 24:21 Laparas

I think the biggest reason people dont use lapras isnt that its bad now, at least not in a vacuum. The problem with lapras is that all the alternatives are insane. Umbreon is in the running for best mon in the game, crustle, especially when coordinating with teammates shuts down mages hard, blastoise is a top 3 option for 2 separate roles its that good... and then theres trevenant. Possibly the 5th best defender only, which is insane to consider, because the one defender i didnt mention is the "you cant kill this thing and it can shut down any enemy pokemon reliably" slowbro... yeah, defenders are just way too good right now, why would you use lapras when theres 5 broken alternatives at minimum

I think Mamoswine's Icicle Crash-Earthquake build is criminally underrated. They pair together so well.

YESS finally someone gives visibility to these builds I would also add Crash+quake Mamo and Icy wind Glaceon, they're criminally slept on

A skilled lapras is definitely still a threat. I had a teammate lapras last night and they put in a lot of work.

absolutely love playing alolan ninetales. and i absolutely hate playing against alolan ninetales.

Not only the builds, but your discussion on why the builds work with tips and tricks is so good.

4:27 Agreed, but also x speed helps you maneuver around with overheat and your unite move

Now this is a video I dig. So many underrated builds not many play. Especially OG strong mon like Gar or Ttar

Pampers pant ad in this video !!! 😂 So funny jake ! 😂

Goodra does best with HP items, Dragon Pulse heal is based on your Hp & your unite move heals based on max hp plus being unkillable make your enemies waist attacks on you. I recommend Resonant Guard, Buddy Barrier & (Assault Vest or Slick Spoon) I prefer Assault Vest because it combos with goodras passive. If you're in solo, I think Acid Spray is way better. You can use it aggressively or to run away. Full Heal feels way more impactful, especially if you have Dragon Pulse.

Appreciate giving garchomp credit. I never got much use out of scope lens and always felt a little too squishy. So I started running muscle, rapid fire and resonant guard and have been playing a lot better. The extra hp and recovery allows you way more sustain, which I find more useful than crits.

Video TItle: "Unite Builds you Aren't Playing" The Builds: *exactly what I've been doing since day 1*

Good job jake saw that ABSOLutely hilarious joke from a goal away 😂

high win rate low pick rate is very bad, the reinhardt effect is when the win rate is high, is because the only people picking them is because they are specialists/is their main, the high win rate then tells the devs to lower the win rate, forcing people to change mains, or play against the grain

ngl, i love night slash + sucker punch on absol, i haven't really given pursuit + psycho cut a serious try, so ty for bringing it up.

I love A9. I do think you can run aurora veil dazzling gleam without rapid fire and a focus band or resonant guard instead. The stats at the end don’t look the most impressive but you are surprisingly tanky in aurora veil especially with extra healing from focus band or shield from resonant guard.

Love your Goodra emblem set, its unique and do really well😊

I loooove Cramorant! Another build that catches people off guard is a scope lens cram, with a little bit of the green and white emblem crit rate boost and a slick spoon, bouncing boosted critical hits between enemies can catch everyone way off guard and if you’re lucky you’re adding monstrous damage to the kit. Often times a unite can chip down and a critical boosted bouncing between a couple of enemies afterwards just feels so delicious and mean. For the longest time they disabled boosted attacks being able to crit but they quietly buffed it to be able to crit and nobody seemed to notice or run it.

I have been having a great success with nightslash psycho cut absol in central and i like to run drain crown as 3rd item because you are always full hp in between ganks which allows you to focus on having the level advantage which in my opinion is key to snowballing as absol you put the enemy so far behind in levels by constantly rotating and with x speed you are suddenly everywhere also you have to check out my crazy build for water urshifu which is black emblems with energy amp, resonant guard and drain crown it lowkey makes up for the nerfs by making you much more tanky

Like greninja I Been bangle muscle float stone ona. Movement build for back out on and off and it's helping alot because greninja really good for backing out and being aggressive when it needs with that alot of movement

Honestly, I tried a cramorant build that had mixed results. Rapid scarf, muscle band, spoon. Dive/air slash. Relies on basic attacks for damage, using dive as a eject button basically. It's fun to play, just not competitively.

I like using energy amp and slow smoke on cram for the unite. Using smoke prevents the enemy team from diving on you

I think double reset meowscarada also belongs on this list. KOing ur opponents w/ flower trick gives u both of ur moves back instantly and has great synergy. And the mobility and shield u get from trailblaze help secure some huge fights

Personal suggestion: Flash Slam Snorlax. Either you can eject button combo your heavy slam/unite, then use block to herd enemies into your allies' moves, or you can eject slam into yawn, giving your team a basically free kill. My yawn lax personally survives things he has no right to live through. He may not kill, but he sure is good at surviving.

Metal Claw/Play Rough Zacian is actually really fun. Being able to stun enemies and negate projectiles is really useful utility for the team.

So the curse incense and bangle if your me these items are a really positive aid I'm the fights I almost mandatory it over muscle band but it's muscle band cause I fought very heavy heal reliant teams in this game very often so its really good to stun the healing to Consistenly honestly. But that left you with one item at the end of the day

i think the 3rd item on Absol is charging charm. Pursuit is a dash and a boosted attack so the synergy is really good. scope razor charm is the way to go IMO

Appreciate the awesome contest, you are my favorite unite tuber out there

If garchomp dig worked as talonflamr fly does but going underground it would be soo awesome.

Can u please explain more about passives of different Pokemon? Since u mentioned galceon and Charizard

Maybe Dragonite's hyper beam isn't getting used I used it this week I think. And the move got me back to the veteran rank I lost or maybe it made me win the panic parade I don't remember that much.

You gotta keep in mind that lapras didn't just get a nerfed once, it kept getting considerable nerfs patch after patch making each set weaker than some other defenders

I play Aurora Veil, I can guarantee you that in 2000+ games I have not encountered more than 3 others like me. It's terrible because with good allies it's magnificent and really satisfying

As a Goodra guy that plays muddy water religiously, I like Muscle Band and Rapid Fire Scarf so I can get the resets on Muddy water as much as possible. Consistently hit 100k+ damage per game with that build

As spmeome who loves playing Goodra i can confirm ive been ended by Gengars dealing 28k dmg to me in team fights. Since then ive been terrified of the purple monster

you want to run charging charm as your 3rd slot on absol, and shedinja doll is another viable battle item

Spilling all the secrets... my gosh Spragels...

jake is glaceon with red emblems any good?

Man we need more defenders, komala perhaps?

Shoutout Goodra!

Played a lot of the swap psycic last night, and it was really effective, my bad for saying it was not meta, it is verrry meta lol

Is the charging charm good on absol since it has so many dash moves

Ahh the ff6 reference felt so nice

Love me the berzerker mime build

Lol, I knew it, Garchomp is indeed underrated, I literally carried majority of the matches in ranked with garchomp

So how many people use venasaur and use giga drain and petal dance cause all I ever see is about solar beam

As a Garchomp Main, i feel like the reason why Garchomp has a low pick rate is unlike a similar Pokémon (Tyranitar) he doesn’t have tons of moves which resists any sort of stuns If I would buff Garchomp, I would give the GroundChomp more viability by giving hindrance immunity for the base and unstoppable for the upgraded version These buffs would give GroundChomp a good alternative against a very stun heavy team

I love taking my ttar for a walk - a Mr Crimes player

For Garchomp, I tend to use Attack Weight, Rapid Scarf, and Resonate Guard with either X Attack to shred through the objectives and opponents early on, or X Speed to get in, get some stacks, and get out. It tends to hold out well for me, but I can see why you would go for that build. Also, why doesn't the other moves combo with each other? Dig and Earthquake seem like a combo in heaven, but that doesn't happen Edit: Just realized I took off Rapid Scarf for the Charging Charm, I think... I might have to double-check that

I like to run razor claw on goodra, feels like it fits the shtick

He’s gengar is either you become god and time the dodges while doing dmg, or you mistime it or enemy Shendija dolls you and you lose your hex and become a clown

Gengar hex sounds good but in reality its very easy to get shut down trying to combo those moves

My boy ran muddy water goodra and I was running moonlight Clefable I felt bad lol

Gengars hex kinda needs a buff in my opinion... all the other speedster definitely as of recently surpass him, and when the nerf glasses and spoon, it really nerfed him. I wish they do slightly buff him again, because he needs it badly

Stakeout style garchomp go brrrrrr

Should I be worried? The 2 Pokémon I am closest to Gold ribbons are Char and Lap lol.

Lapras is ok, but after the nerfs it cannot compete with blastoise , trevenant, crustle or even mamoswine

No charging charm on absol ?

Love you spragals

No icy wind glaceon is mentioned on this list. Which means it’s even more underrated than i thought lol

In my opinion Pain Split Trevenant is so underrated. Sure it's not an aoe stun like Horn Leech but good lord once you see that the enemy team has a crazy basic attack pokemon like Dragapult which is very popular right now, it's literally shredding itself to death. Pain Split is much better than the playerbase give it credit for

Do you have a build for Delphox?

Hear me out, razor ace leafeon yes i do play that lol and i get more consistency from it than solar blade idk why but having so much mobility than needed can get me in and out a lot of trouble

when playing charizard i dont look for the best unite target, i look for the one that has bullied/annoyed me the most early game. thats the one that will receive every unite

Absole with charm is very good😊😊

NGL I was thinking we were gonna see a Phil Garchomp, Cris Gengar, Bruv mime, Spragels Goodra, and someone I don't know A9..

Not spragles talking about hex while using dreameater photage

How about some flail yawn snorlax with max crit runes???

I use garchomp like that except I don’t use scope lense I use drain crown because your mainly using you basic so you heal a ridiculous amount and you never die several times I’ve been mvp as him but I switched to goodra because garchomp was boring to play as

Honestly, I think everyone is sleeping on Azu. I hadn’t played it in awhile and started again this season and have a 70% wr in 100 games with aqua tail/water pulse

Sableye full lock-down, Swipe into Confuse Ray, then follow up last hit of swipe. Items Exp, Weight, Stone.

Remember when they buffed the increased defenses of Garchomps dig and then immediately nerfed it, as if it was a sudden problem?

Lately no of espion has decreased alot and we can just forget tsareena

4:40 If you replace beedril emblem with the meowscarada one youll get even more speed. I also love using that speedy build with attacker and some supporters too.

Goodra player here that is true Goodra is really strong and hard to take down in some games I last longer than every player and wipe out your opponents

As a noob im proud that I naturally picked up a few of these 😅

It was good to redeem myself on your stream, I was a green badge umbreon with the royal skin that played with a friend

Duraladon 😭 my boy

Man i love garchomp especially it's brawl playstyle but chomp's in a really bad position for your average soloq players. This is because of the braindead point n click range attackers with a passive that neglects a stun, yeah i am talking about the glaceon and espeon. Even if people are pulling off victories bcoz of last team fights but the overall game has been harsh and takes away the fun from chomp which is the main factor behind playing chomp😢

When you realize there are some many dragon Pokemon in the game that don’t have a battle pass skin and they chose to give it to a Pokemon that already has a battle pass skin and another top tier skin as well 😐

When I see cramo, I think of Andrewjrt. He plays cramo to troll so bad XD

people been sleeping on Mime for a while. He's still GOATed

Maybe add gameplay for these movesets next time lol

Outrage dragonite

You know guys, I’m starting to think we aren’t ready for draft

Brave Bird Talonflame. But ya’ll ain’t ready for that conversation.

A goodfun build is focus band, resonant guard, score shield, rollout wiggly. #geometryrocks

Overheat is so good

Loving the vids spragels! But why are you recommending builds that you're not showing in the gameplay... makes it confusing to follow

Take a shot everytime he says "Inside of Unite".

Is this video old? No charging charm on absol?

I always appreciate some Hex-Sludgebomb propaganda. The FF6 reference just sealed it for me.

Commenting before watching If you mention Mimikyu. You're wrong. Always play it

Umbreon foul play wish build is underplayed

Cram is so underrated 😢

I had the best pokemon which is Zacian

2 days gang ❤

Haha Garchomp mains go brrrrrrrrrrrr!

Iam gonna be honest here, charizard doesn’t need a buff. It’s really REALLY strong in the right hands (like my hands)
