This week's set of online battles for Sword & Shield will be the final few videos for that game, as Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl are coming out in two weeks at the time of this video going up, and if you are wondering about the random battles I have been doing, I am no longer continuing them, as they take up my time, and I use up my resources, like TRs, Armorite Ore, and EXP Candy to get the moves on the Pokémon.
Another bit of info that you want to be very wary of, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, from what I have heard, have leaked online as some shops have copies of the game, can't they just give the game to trusted people, I understand people buying copies to review the game, but to leak the full game online, I hate that. I don't care too much as they are remakes, but they should think about people that have not played the original Diamond & Pearl games and keep things a surprise for them, but if it is a newer game, then they shouldn't leak a game, because that ruins the hype for some people, if I got a copy of Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl earlier, I would only record certain clips and make a review of the game, not show clips that have not even been revealed yet.
Then for the battle itself, and my opponent has some very powerful Pokémon, I was surprised about seeing Explosion on Regieleki, because if you didn't know already, Explosion used to be really overpowered, while it does have a base power of 250, it used to halve the target's Defense, and Generation 5 was where Explosion got nerfed where it no longer halves the target's Defense stat. I did like my opponent's strategy with Dusk Mane Necrozma, because the Weakness Policy is a good item on it, and it does have a base Special Attack of 113, so it can make a decent Mixed Attacker.
As with the Pokémon I use, the Incineroar in this battle is a new one that I bred recently, because there was a special Max Raid Battle event where you can catch the Alola Starters in anything other than a Poké Ball, so in this case, Incineroar is in a Level Ball, so I bred new versions of the Alola Starters, you might see then during my Max Raid Battle videos, if they decide to continue them after the release of Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl. Incineroar is a Pokémon that is rarely used in Single Battles, so I decided to test him out, he has Parting Shot and Will-O-Wisp, which are good moves that work well with his good Special Defense, and I have EV trained this Incineroar in HP and Special Defense, and he has a Careful Nature. Flare Blitz and Darkest Lariat are other moves for Incineroar if ever he needs to deal damage to his opponents.
I have used Roserade in the past, but this time he has an Assault Vest, I did look up Roserade's stats, and it has a base Special Defense of 105, which players seem to underestimate, I am guessing it's because of Roserade's HP stat being below average, and he has Dazzling Gleam for a coverage option, while Leaf Storm, Sludge Bomb, and Giga Drain are his main moves.
With the Gen 4 remakes coming soon, I decided to include Palkia onto my team, and as I have said before, when I am using a Legendary Pokémon from the Uber tier, I have to balance my team with lesser used Pokémon. I gave the Wide Lens to Palkia, as all of its moves do not have 100% accuracy, so it has Spacial Rend and Hydro Pump for its powerful STAB moves, while Fire Blast and Thunder are coverage options. A good strategy is that I can summon the rain with Max Geyser to ensure that Thunder will never miss, that is one good strategy that I have with Palkia, and I did make the right decision to give it the Wide Lens to work around its moves.
