So everyone knows that Verlisify is a faggot if immense proportions. This isn't news. My question is, when it comes to strategies, does he actually know what he's talking about? Or is he just a shitter that gets lucky sometimes?I

I think he repeats what people already know. I don't think he says anything groundbreaking...

If he was that big of a trend setter than he would be winning comps.

His excuse is of course "lol widespread cheating", yet he also claims to have a good knowledge of legal movesets so that shouldn't even be an issue.

At the end of the day he's a copycat with the skills of an internet crawling bot, just regurgitating shit he's read about or his fanbase has hand fed him.

Verlisify is what tv tropes calls "the know-nothing know-it-all" when it comes to his strategies. He likes to think that his strategies are these mindblowing, innovative dark horse sets that will carry him and anybody else who uses them far on the ladder of competitive battling, but in reality these sets are extremely situational at best and outright useless at worst, and Verlisify's "creative" sets usually fall under the latter.

His reasoning for these sets? Out of sheer spite for smogon of course.

He also has said in the past that he got many of his wins in VGC due to using RNG-based teams/strategies (such as ones that spam Double Team). There is a reason the Evasion Clause exists in all tiers for Smogon (barring AG); relying on luck to carry you isn't indicative of a good player. Honestly I would chalk up anyone knowing about him to the larger Smogon ban controversies of Gen 6 and him stirring up shit with good players. He doesn't innovate well, he doesn't understand how a Pokémon can be unhealthy for a tier's meta, and he has only ever gotten recognized as a decent player due to VGC allowing the use of hilariously luck-based strategies.

Actually luck manipulation strategies are the most power ones, that's why smogon banned them in the first place. A glalie with moody can kill a ho-oh. Acupressure can end games for the same reason. OHKO moves are actually really good for killing otherwise unkillable walls, and Swagger+Thunder Wave was so good Gamefreak had to nerf it like crazy this gen. Most smogonfags will pretend luck isn't a big part of the game, that the whole thing is deterministic. But in the end, the critical game-losing moment is often the miss of a hydro pump or will-o-wisp. It is better to accept that the game is largely luck based rather than pretend it is not.

His stuff is basically repeating what is obvious to everyone or outright garbage.

I do, however, enjoy some of the Fan Friday's shit his viewers get up to.

Most of it's just as situational as his nonsense but some of them are legitimately different in a good way.

They still usually do them shitily but sometimes there's a gem hiding in their turds a good player can dig out and shine up if they're willing to muck through it.

I'm actually just getting into competitive with this generation, so no I haven't seen those. Assault Vest and Rain Dance are counterproductive, aren't they?

You literally cannot use Rain Dance with Assault Vest. It does, however, work with Nuzzle and Rapid Spin, as they do (miniscule) damage.
