“uh sir it seems that a single pokemon took down our army what do we do sir?” there is nothing we can do

There is actually an argument you did not go over that allows the Persians to win. Expert Pokemon Mechanics Researchers have discovered that Supreme Overlord is coded to cap at 5 fainted allies. If you had a seventh pokemon somehow and it fainted, the counter wouldn't go up.

Keep in mind that this assumes that Kingambit won't be able to land any moves after it uses 5 sucker punches

You know, Kingambit might as well use Swords Dance while it's waiting on all of its allies to die

Kingambit being able to kill 10% of the lions before running out of pp is cool and all until you realize pokemon that can use instruct for more moves

But what he wasn't taking into account was that Kingambit is actually banned in the Geneva Convention, which we know existed in Ancient Greece due to the philosopher Grumbus the Tiny.

Don't you hate it when you give Kingambit one free turn and it sweeps your entire army after one swords dance

Humans are actually commonly thought of as a Typeless Eevee, with their Type changing based on their environment and personality. Soldiers would be Fighting Type, with the Armor making them Fighting/Steel like Zamazenta-Crowned.

imagine if one of the persians had a weezing with the ability neutralizing gas which disables all other abilites

"Uh, sir that Lucario just took out half our squad, what do we do?" Kingambit: "Have you tried fighting back?" "Of course we tried, but that shiny Lucario keeps spamming Aura sphere. Our team is getting annihilated!" Kingambit: "Okay, i think I have a plan, try fighting back a little harder."

0:57 i think this is funny cause both in game logic and in Lore logic proved this wrong, Wolfy VGC proved it wront with Kyogre murdering everything with a single move (all lions and all other pokemon that dont have water obsorb) and Lore logic, all the flying types just fly and murder everything and also hsve multiple gods on there side

Magikarp on the cusp of evolving (ie level 19), using Splash, the move too weak to do anything in battle... are able to output about the equivalent of 1000 tons of TNT, as shown in episode 34 of the anime. The battle animation for Seismic Toss in every mainline game since the series went 3D has been in the neighborhood of 2-10% of light speed. Meaning a level 5 Throh can launch a Snorlax into orbit at 9% of light speed before levelling a city with the equivalent of about 50 million tons of TNT. Any Pokémon who knows Magnitude and manages a Magnitude 10 outputs 15 billion tons of TNT equivalent. That's on par with significant fraction of the world's nuclear stockpile. It's also important to remember that even though humans in the Pokémon multiverse are generally much weaker than any Pokémon, they are still extremely superhuman by real life standards. Ash can run on walls and carry a 999.9 kg Cosmoem like it's nothing. And in episode 1 of the anime he survived Pikachu's Thundershock, which after knocking out a whole flock of Spearow still had enough juice left over to vapourize several dozen cubic meters of dirt (about on par with the largest non-nuclear bomb ever made in power). Lieutenant Surge is strong enough to wrestle with his Electabuzz as an equal. Real life humans would have a BST of 0.

If I ever stumble upon a Genie, my two wishes would be for a real life Kingambit that'll obey me and a time machine to go back to the Battle of Thermopylae.

It would also be slightly easier for kingambit if you count that the Spartans might be able to have taken out a bit of their enemy's army before dying.

This is the most appropriate use of the Nobunaga Era Vs Protocol Omega 2.0 music in any video and that includes the entire Inazuma Eleven series it originates from

Kingambit is basically the Kaido of One Piece....or the Mihawk much better. Mihawk is Zoro's last goal. Kingambit is better as the last pokemon, a swordsman known to pilot the most powerful armies of Bisharp and Pawnierd. Its the King but actually tough. Or..is he Moria? Oh well, I am just here to watch this golden video.

What if the Persians could punch really fast, and that punch was somehow quad effective and had priority against the kingambit?

1:20 (and about 7000 other hoplites but we don’t really talk about them)

I would say that humans are normal/psychic, seeing as humans are weak to fighting, bug, darkness, and ghost. But the fighting weakness gets neutralized by psychic

I wasnt wondering why this video exists, I was just happy that youtube has become so large that videos like this COULD exist

Uhm actually sucker punch isn't a punching move, it's a surprise attack(sucker punch isn't boosted by iron fist or punching gloves) so no shot it's possible for a sucker punch to be able to destroy meteors :D

I'd like to make note of a flaw in this argument (Albeit this puts it even more in Kingambit's favor) You specifically used Sucker Punch under the logic it would allow Kingambit to act before the army could try to restrain it but you also bothered to gather the stats of the soldiers which are far, FAR below that of Kingambit's. This means Kingambit already out speeds, meaning the only need for a priority move is if the Persian's have their own priority move, so it could instead open itself up to using potentially more powerful attacks, that would also allow it to break any stalemates from the army just not attacking. One such move that may be entertaining to look at: Fury Cutter, which would get stronger with each attack. Or, if you risk Kingambit getting hurt before reaching full power, you could instead have it fight admist the others and use Retaliate every time a soldier goes down. Given how many soldiers there are that'd be numerous occasions of a boosted 140 BP move. And the last option that comes to mind is Brick Break, which would be super effective against these normal-type Persian's, making it hit harder than even Retaliate without needing to use it after every death. Though that last one is a TM move, and given you already ruled out PP Max for the time period, I wouldn't be surprised if TMs were also not on the table.

This video changed my life completely! Thanks for helping us with your wisdom!

Kingambit is strong enough to take down god himself (Arceus would get clapped by any fighting type)

If Kingambit gets nerfed in the next generation, this video called it.

We need more of these scenarios

listen to this in two times speed and high its amazing

He looks like one of those video game characters that regularly takes out dozens of enemies in one basic attack Slap a "all-out-till-i-die" type theme and you got yourself a iconic fights moment

Pov: the enemy has an weezing with neutroling gas on the back

Kingambit couldn't kill the 300 spartans. First, Supreme Overlord caps at 5 charges. Hard coded, that's how it works. Second, damage overflow isn't a thing in any universe. You have obliterated one guy, and possibly mildly injured people around him from the splash. If Kingambit were punching as hard as you are sughesting it has to to create shockeaves, it would literally tear itself apart from the forces being exerted on it. Sucker Punch also attacks only from short range. 1 space away. It can be outranged in mystery dungeon, your source of mechanics, and does nothing about thrown sticks, rocks, ect.

bro they stoped them at thermopyles but they got scrud over by nightmere

The persian empire will find the location of the gamer and slap the device into stratosphere inorder to defeat Kingambit

So Kingambit basically becomes Kazuma Kiryu and tiger drops everyone.

Ive just looked it up and in the anime theres literally 0 mensions to pp, with the closest being them getting tired of using those moves in a more mana related way. In the manga they just assume that pp deleter moves and abilities just make the pokemons unable to use the targeted move, and pressure is any move in general but is a bit inconsistent tho

Spread move argument gets utterly defeated by the fact that kingamit learns snarl, allowing him to completey obliterate the entire army in one move if spread moves worked like they did in the games

thank you Hmaz, i was thinking of challenging the persian empire with my kingambit, and i was a bit unsure until i watched this video.

I never thought maths could make me laugh this much. the numbers just escalated so fast

"just send in a pokemon, it's not that hard" --Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Okay, now, THAT, is something I would want to know at 3am

The entire fucking thumbnail of this video is hysterical. I can't stop myself from imagining kingambit say. Nah id win.

2:06 not the scooping cutscene😅

Bro is a huge addition to the 1 billion lions argument

What if while his teammates died kingambit setted up swords dances and wore a life orb or any other boosting item as well as terastallizing into a dark type. Wouldn't that make it way stronger. Also you have to apply the STAB boost to the sucker punch which gives it a major buff

at least there's no pokemon with innate regen that gets stronger the more pokemon in your party have fallen

Basically What Happened In The In-Verse Pokemon Wars

What battle would Pawmot with a Leppa berry a special berry procured by whoever Pawmot is on the side of be the most useful to with 2 Revival Blessings? Or if Last Respects could be a Nuke maybe with the unique technology of a Giant Ring Target what's the strongest Battle Basculegion could solo?

If you give any level 100 kingambit to a war the side that has it will win if we follow anime and manga logic they don't actually need pp to attack always what's to stop regular punches and slices after all pp is exhausted

Kingambit learns Stone Egde as a spread move. If Kingambit learned Earthquake, that would be very funny.

9:40 make them fighting water then, they lose their normal type because they have trained martial arts.

"Terrorizing everyone that hasnt discovered fighting types yet" The real problem is that kingambit will tera and kill you instantly

If the one punchan kingambit is true like that then with full pp and more moves he could probably beat a billion lions

What a fighting type gonna do when gambit clicks Tera fairy 🤨

I can just imagine kingambit launching one punch and vaporizing a massive part of the Persian army💀💀💀💀

this is beautiful. subscription earned.

This is when correct math is applied in the wrong way

Gambit was also tera dark and black glasses, and spent the entire time the Spartans were getting murdered swords dancing on a hill somewhere. Unlucky.

That kid at 2:50 has to be sleeping with the fishes...

Pokestar studios determines trainer classes determine your type, so spartans are fighting steel

The true power of kingambit is as strong as saitama

Every Spinda form giving Kingambit a buff:

Persian army : "CHARGEE!" Kingoatbit : "Nah, I'd defiant"

When you use a spread move the power of the move is lowered when it hit 2 targets instead of one, so by that logic the killing power of gambit would be severelly lowered since you are halving the base power by the thousands

Imagine he swords dances before he fights.

Even without king gambit arceus lore wise can wish all 1 billion lions out of existence 💀

Counterpoint: Dump 10k Afsharid Era Zamburaks 100m away from Kingambit, bombard 50 base speed Kingambit to oblivion with Afsharid cannons, and Toofangchi musket fire for good measure

Fun analysis video! That said, some issues: I'd assume Manaphy is water-type because it comes from & lives in water, & the "Prince of the Sea" thing. Also, base stats are a bad metric for these things. Vikavolt & Escavalier fly fast but have slow base speed. Linoone is like 60 mph, yet only 2 base speed behind supersonic Garchomp. Dodrio also has a stated speed, which didn't get updated when its base speed changed in Gen 7. Cranidos hits harder than Arceus, etc. Also, while the spartans might have a chance, lions ain't scratching things like Steelix & Metang; They could just rest to get back their PP, unthreatened.

Kingambit with leftovers using struggle could be an infinite amount of lions. 8)

The only step up from this is having kingambit solo the red army at Stalingrad

Finally, my intrusive thoughts have been satisfied

I love kingsgambit, my favorite pokemon finally got an Evo.

Me when I discover the damage calc

I giggled. Silly but fun argument. Now, what about the animals the Persian armies brought such as Elephants, Rhinoceros, etc?

The soldiers all get their own turns for attacking Persians win

"Earth Tera King Gambit Earthquake has left the chat."

WolfeyVGC proved that the 10 billion lions would stand no chance because spread damage caps at a 50% damage reduction, so kyogre could just waterspout after having helping hand used on it a bunch and destroy all of the lions at once with spread damage

1:27 Bro just spoiled history

If the explosions occur from sucker punch it’s ether fire or normal type. Ether way Kingsgambit will probably faint

The romans could just stall the sucker punches out, or send one guy at a time. Sucker punch only hits opponents who are going to attack on that same turn, so have 5 individual soldiers go attack one by one while the rest throw a tea party

Kingambit wouldn’t need Sucker Punch, the Spartans are naturally slower than Kingambit.

Don’t forget houndstone with last respects, 50+ base power for each fallen ally, also double battle with a Pokémon to use switcheroo on each lion with a ring target

"Typing of the soldiers" should actually be water/psychic, because Sabrina has psychic powers, and therefore humans can have psychic powers, so kingambit does double damage, actually.

Wasnt it a coalition of like 10.000-12.000 greeks agains like 60.000 -120.000 persians (i dont remember the exact estimates) 1:20

Never thought I’d learn more from this than in any of my classes Who needs to learn about the Cold War when you got King Gambit soloing an entire Persian army!?

7:21 Bold of you to assume Pokemon operates on One Punch Man logic

It also learns brutal wing

Super cool sword boy❤️

Bro I would absolutely destroy a sunkern

if you want to be accurate to multitarget use Snarl, if we assume it targets an area and not just 2 targets it can kill all of the persians that ear it before running out of PP

ability swap supreme overlord to primal kyogre (mega mewtwo isnt a thing because megas require people) or houndstone and then just sweep with surf or last respect leave ability swap trevenant with leppa berry so if our champions pp goes low we just waste a bit of time

Kingambit doesn’t exactly understand real strategy, but wtf are you gonna do against a man with giant swords made of metal that isn’t hindered by being made of metal like a man in armor would be?

There's also houndstone which can use last respects and pawmot and rabsca with revival blessing so the lions lose

Honestly, this is a pretty good thing that came from twitter browsing....

Did you remember stab in the calculations? And what if Kingambit has tera dark?

i think i have a argument that is pretty good, Regular Humans Are Water Normal, But Soliders Are Water Fighting

Good vid.

What if arceus just banishes every lion to the distortion world

Persians are fighting type, his only weakness

correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he failed to calculate 3 factors. They wear armor that's capable of reducing the impact by quite a lott. And by the same measurement the calculates amount of soldiers felled, i.e, amount of damage done/hp of human (I'm not too sure on this) we see that amount of people that die become exponentially lower. The armor definitely increase their def stat by a lot. another factor is training. Unlike pokemon, it seems that human have a muchh higher EV limit (Source: Trust me on this). so considering that they have maxed out hp,def evs and wear armor, kingambit would be muchhh less dangerous. the last and most important, Burn. If the kingambit somehow manages to get burned, the damage is once again, cut in HALF. This is all under the impression that kingambit only uses sucker punch like in the video.

don’t forget held items! life orb or black glasses

This is the dumbest video I think I’ve ever watched, but I love it so much😂
