Fairy Type Pokemon "Hatterene" is wearing a Hat. And so can you thanks to the following link: jimothycool.com/

This could be disastrous, folks. Unless Magcargo can harness the terastal phenomenon to become a grass type, it's tenure on the horse council may already be over.

Fariy resisting bug is messed up like why do gamefreak hate them

Memes aside, the whole "Horse Council" drama thing is genius, it's the only time I'm told to subscribe that I actually look forward to

On behalf of the Poison-Type Council, thank you Fairies for showing up and being so easy to load with venom. Dragons have been buying Sludge Bomb stocks from us since Gen 6 and it's really helped pay the bills for our nuclear reactors.

You forgot to mention that Galarian Weezing is the prime chairman of the hat council. The hat council is monitoring very closely on the horse council, to make sure their mole isn't uncovered Their are rumors about certain benefits Horsea will receive if Magcargo will step down

Note: hammer pokemon Tapu Bulu doesn't run fairy STAB because it was refused any by it's creator

Okay, so I forgave you for skipping gen 1 coverage of the dark type, I figured it was just an oversight. Now you skip the first 5 generations for Fairy type? I expect more from this channel

this is insane folks, but the resourceful Magcargo knows better than to come to a water fight unprepared, one could only hope the flaming horse Macgargo is weilding a focus sash or a passho berry to bear the water type barrage.

Gamefreak: "Dragon type is unbalanced, we need to introduce a counter" Also Gamefreak: Here's the most unbalanced type we've ever made

Magearna was banned in Gen 8 because Gen 8 gave it Draining Kiss and Stored Power so it could shift gear and calm mind with weakness policy and just be near unkillable with reliable recovery now and massive damage output which only got stronger with each KO it got.

thankfully, in OU, the overwhelming presence of the infamous poison type sweeper darkrai keeps all the fairies in check 🙏🙏

Clefable learning stealth rock fits thematically bcuz its a fairy that originates from the moon, hence those "rocks" it can throw.

NO MICHELANGELO GET OUT OF THERE!!!!! USE YOUR HIGH HORSEPOWER TO ESCAPE THE DASTARDLY BUBBLES!!!

What's really stupid about Fairy type is all of the types that resist it are weak to ground, so there's no way to have a 4x fairy resistance without also having a 4x ground weakness

I swear, Clefable being a Normal type is hardcoded into some peoples brains. 11 years after it became a Fairy type and people still try to use Fighting type attacks against it lol

"Groodon Primal - yes his name is Groodon - who is a Ground/Fire type" Don't you mean Groond/Fire type?

I would not have fear for our horse-friend Magcargo, for surely Mudsdale has instructed him on the importance of EVmaxxing 252 SpA Horsea Bubble Beam vs. 224 HP / 220 SpD Magcargo: 268-316 (84.5 - 99.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO Even without any SpAtk investment, an Earth Power would one-shot. However, to avoid any unexpected Horseplay, Magcargo should activate his Shell Smash after being hit to unleash his Horse forme and be able to guarantee a OHKO on Horsea the next turn. All he would require is a Speed EV of 56 a speed boosting nature. Unfortunately, there is no way to defeat Horsea using the flagship move High Horsepower unless Magcargo was willing to dirty his hooves by acquiring the illicit Groundium Z Crystal. For the sake of the Horse Council, I pray that he has not resorted to this knavery.

I really feel like people over exaggerate how good fairy is. It is the best type in the game yes. Especially over time as more good offensive steel and poison types have been introduced I dont think its correct to call it broken. I think the ghost type currently is much more of a problem and needs a type chart change more than fairy for example.

Slurpuff A little cake guy

Funny how fairy was mainly created in mind to humble the dragon types, yet fairy became the new strongest type. Fairy would probably become even crazier if it had a really powerful nuke with good distribution. Also, fairy's bug resist is unnecessary.

The day a ground fairy type is released is the day competitive pokemon is finished.

It would seem that Clefable is not Unaware of its place in the meta, as its ability to nullify the entire Dragon type and any opponent's stat changes is truly quite powerful. In other news, Horsea has played the "4x Weakness" card by using a Water-type move against Macargo. I am not sure the magma snail will be able to survive this, unless it is holding a Focus Sash.

i will never understand why they made fairy resist bug when it seems like it should be the other way around as fairies wont want to be around bugs

Jim describing a +2 speed as a dragon dance but better instead of an agility has me baffled folks. This is incredible

The reason you dont see physical Tapu Koko or Fairy moves on Tapu Bulu is because they don't have access to any physical Fairy moves. Gamefreak thought it was clever to give Tapu Fini and Tapu Lelu (two special attackers with low attack) Play Rough but did not allow the physical Tapus to use the move. Insane decision.

the type that's existed for four gens takes just as much time to cover as the original fifteen. this is a sign of disastrous things to come, folks

Each new type added has been in large part a response to another type being too strong. Makes you wonder if we'll ever see a new type come out to respond to Fairy

Can we talk about how for some reason Moonblast has 5 extra BP for no other reason other than they wanted Fairy to be strong when it first came out? You could try to make the argument that it's because it doesn't inflict a status condition, but Psychic and Energy Ball do the same thing and they don't have 95 BP. Moonblast also has an insane 30% chance to proc.

Not gonna lie, the primary reason I watch Jim videos is the soap opera level story that runs through all his videos. I still watch by to the end but what gets me here is the story

Fairy with normal type move pool is kinda nuts

36:01 it actually got a big buff in gen8 with draining kiss. That thing could calm mind behind screen with weakness policy and recover every thing with draining kiss. A true monster, given previous sets were still top tier

why are these videos so informative, relaxing, long af, enjoyable and intriguing all at once! stop it bro!

Bubblebeam?? Magcarbros? Is it over? Let's double subscribe to shell smash and reveal our true horse form

PONYTA NEEDS TO JUMP IN FRONT OF THE BUBBLEBEAM TO STOP THIS MADNESS

I love how this type has been around less than half the time of the others but the video is nearly as long as the others. Also fairy needs a balance check - personally around bug type resist

8:07 God of War mentioned

Magcargo should harness the terastal crystals in order to transform to a dragon type. That way, horsea becomes envious of him being what it always dreamed to become

Diancie is one of my favorite mega pokemon. I love that the mega form has significantly lower defenses than the base form. Most megs you just always mega evolve off the rip, but diancie can hold off on the mega to live certain key hits but still do enough damage to take out the attacker, then evolve when it needs the attack and speed boosts

Re: 35:59 Magearna lost Z-moves but it got Stored Power and Draining Kiss which are pretty much the perfect moves for a bulky boosting sweeper. Stored Power on a mon that gets this many boosts this easily is nuts and it could run CM+Shift Gear or CM+ID sets that could now heal while attacking. It also got Trick which made Specs a nasty piece of work too.

Folks, Jimothy Cool is my Hero. Can you believe such a thing?

Fairy type has only been around for 4 generations and the video is still longer than the poison type video, this is tragic folks

Right as I'm cooking lunch

Wigglytuff is my second favorite Pokémon and therefore is my favorite normal and fairy type. I'm also a big fan of Aromatisse.

Horsea has struck first at the Trident. What will happen next??

I think we should discuss kingambit every episode (my favourite fairy/dragon/flying/water type!!)

Excellent work as always Mr Cool. This was a fairly informative video. I hope the horse wars end in a peaceful resolution. However I do once again ask for your support in informing the masses on the daily struggles forgotten evolution such as Raichu go through, thank you for your time.

As annoying as it is, Clefable is one of the most balanced Pokemon ever made: has great typing, two great abilities, and an extensive move pool but zero stats over 100

Ah yes Tapu Lele: the teacup dweller

Why did they need another type to resist bug :(

I feel like there’s a Pokémon that appreciated the addition of Fairy-Types so much that even Game Freak effectively referenced this in The Indigo Disk. Players may recall Lacey having an Exacdrill on her Fairy-Type team, which at first glance only looks like a reference to who her father is. But credit where credit is due for Game Freak making us aware of this type synergy- this thing has winning matchups not only against most Fairy-Types, but also Poison, Steel, and is even a Steel-Type itself that can lure out Fire-Types with its own Ground STAB. The only other Pokémon who even comes close is Heatran, who does quad-resist Fairy and has good matchups into Fire (thanks to Flash Fire), Poison, and Steel, but is also noticeably slower and doesn’t have some of the extra utility Excadrill does, such as Rapid Spin, Sand Rush, and Swords Dance.

Love the detail on Gen 7 OU on this one (not much choice with the release of the Tapus). It gets a bad wrap for being broken but it's still the metagame I choose to play (Gen 7 Ubers ladder sadly doesn't seem to exist on PO anymore) and great to see it covered in detail. All your analysis on it is spot on.

Should've changed bug to a weakness rather then a resistance to balance it out

About the use of Scald on Tapu Fini in Gen VII that you mention at 28:54, another scenario where it becomes a much better click is when you come back in right as the misty terrain is about to fade (more common when there's a Fini on the opponent's team as well). In that sense, Scald kind of feels like it creates a win-win situation, because you are either safe from status yourself or threaten to spread it. There's also Gen VIII, where defog removes terrain effects, and opposing defoggers suddenly have to fear the burn. Granted, that barely comes up, because the common defoggers all happen to fly anyway (unless they switch out to a grounded physical threat afterwards). But I always thought this was an interesting little interaction, where they might become less inclined to remove hazards in fear of the status. Of course, people probably wouldn't run it based on these fringe cases alone.

Mr Jim Othy this is your 666th video

Ah, yes, my favorite type. The starter-type.

Magcargo fought valiantly, Magcargo fought nobly, Magcargo fought honourably. And Magcargo died.

I think it’s kinda funny that, similar to Steel type, Fairy was introduced to reign in other types to nerf them a bit but then the new type just became the new best type instead.

I still think Fairy should be weak to bug instead of resistant.

Thinking about it now, how would the meta game be if all terrains activated Quark drive and all weathers activated Protosynthesis? But each terrain only activated one type of stat? And never a speed boost.

Is the most important battle of our life time a reference to "a song of ice and fire"?

i think magearna got put into ubers in gen 8 bc it gained stored power then which makes it super braindead to use

fairy is the best type in competitive pokemon

Bring back typing out the intro of the video. It makes me so happy

Fairy types really grew on me over the gens. One of my favorite Magearna sets early gen 7 was fightinium z focus blast with ice beam, t bolt and shift gear. It put in a lot of work against common cores like skarm bliss and celesteela/pex/mega venusaur. Gen 8 I used unaware weakness policy stored power clef able to consistently hit high ladder.

I like how fairy is more "symetric" compared to most types. when I say symetric I mean that in most cases it hits super effectively the same types it resists (with a few exceprions) and is weak to the same types that resist it. I wish other types were this symetric.

I'll be deadass, I clicked to get an update on the Horse Council. Also, Groodon.

Fairy/Steel is absolutely insane. If you count every type's weaknesses and resistances, Steel/Fairy is the best type combination with its 8 resistances, 1 quad resistance, 2 immunities, and only 2 weaknesses.

11 years in and I'm still not fully learned the typing match-ups... supereffective against Fighting for no reason 😅

"At the Trident" I never thought Jimmy would reference Game of Thrones/ASoIaF in one of his videos. Although, I did watch the Glidus episode of The Fridge.

If Magcargo was hit by one, singular, Horsea bubble then it probably exploded

Fairly good

One muse I’ve been milling over is how the field of competitive Pokemon would change if the fairy type had been there at the very start, Clefable and Wigglytuff and all their pals with pink power at the get go. It certainly would make or break a fair few Pokemon; I think Gen two Mr Mine would be particularly happy for the buff

I fell over and landed on the groond

Bug should have resist Fairy, not the other way around, who agrees?

Fairy is the best type in competitive pokemon.

At first I thought the TV in front of the koala was a censor box covering its Power Point😂

Tinkaton is one of my favorite new designs and fun to use! It's shiny needed more love I think though xD;

The true flex is running Unaware HDB Clefable.

New subscriber here. Love the content. Keep it up!!

i desperately wish i were a fairy too

It’s a little upsetting to realize that fairy has been around for over 10 years 👵👴

love you jimothyy

If you wanna be pedantic about it, freeze dry was introduced in gen 6, not gen 7, though since it was Aurorus’s signature move back then it didn’t really feel like it existed til gen 7

May fairies bless you all! :D

in gen 7 due to order change being on the same turn as mega evolving and the slight nerf to sucker punch and extra counters made it more challenging for mega mawile but having good defenses intimidate and the highest attack in the game by far (more even than a choice band deoxys-attack) did still make mega-mawile possibly a bit too much especially with having an amazing move set with coverage for every single one of your weaknesses and swords dance and alright utility for doubles via a powerful rock slide. though the slow speed is a bit weakness for sure.

Horsea, finally getting the attention they deserve

Is it me or he just forgot about the best fairy from gen 9? Flutter Mane

Magearna was banned from gen 8 because of Shift Gear, Calm Mind, Stored Power, and Draining Kiss. That set was impossibly good and made it an unstoppable monster. With team support and its good stats, it was more like a gen 3 top tier in its versatility and EV tweaking, it could literally do whatever it wanted in a team slot and get away with it, while all the other mons struggled to manage their own niches in comparison. I personally think its peak modern competitive design, because that versatility makes for a very interesting pokemon that can cover many archetypes and roles with the right stat spread and items. If more mons were designed like Mag, I think the meta would benefit from it.

Magearna going to Ubers in gen 8 wasn’t about reverse power creep, it’s cause mag got buffed. Draining kiss to assist on CM sets and trick for specs were the big ones I think

This horse council business has become completely unstable. They are forgetting why the horse council was created in the first place. Only those with a high enough power(of the horse variety) were able to join and control things from behind the scenes. I think it would behoove everyone to reign things in and take a look at the larger picture. They shouldn’t be fighting each other, they should be fighting so seahorses and snailhorses and even ryhorses can get along and control the world from the shadows.

I think at this point I don't think Fairy is the clear #1 type. I view it as a sort of midground in offense and defense compared to Steel being the best defensive type and Dark/Ghost being the best offensive types. I do think Steel/Fairy is still probably the best type combination although Steel/Ghost is pretty ridiculous too. Edit: Also, I don't think Magearna being banned in Gen 8 was just because the power level decreased (although that was a factor as well). Magearna gained Stored Power and I believe Draining Kiss as well. Its double boosting set with those 2 moves basically made it the perfect sweeper.

Horsea: Magcargo, are you a horse because you know high horsepower? Or do you know high high horsepower because you’re a horse?

252+ SpA Horsea Bubble Beam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Magcargo: 264-312 (81.4 - 96.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO Our boy is fine, phew However: 0 SpA Magcargo Hyper Beam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Horsea: 270-318 (134.3 - 158.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO If Magcargo is ready, and willing, the horse rebellion could be ended right here and now. Does our hero have it in him to obliterate the smaller, but undeniably cruel Horsea? Would the usage of Hyper Beam in fair combat lead to a convention banning the use of Moves of Mass Destruction? Is it really worth it to plunge the world of PokeLaw into years of controversy, just to be recognized as a Horse? Magcargo ponders, and we will have to see in the next installment

Fairy Friday is here!

Weezing getting two hats is unfair lol

Wish you talked about how Fairy might have impacted the meta if the Pokémon who had the typing now had the type in earlier gens.

I think the best 5 types currently are Ghost, Water, Fairy, Dragon, & Steel. Fairy only exposed the type chart imbalances more.
