Gen 3 isn't a tier

​@@Kev.in1997 gen 3 ou is a tier in showdown

​@@Kev.in1997 next ur telling me you arent a clown

absolutely agree, love the gen 3 content 👍🏻

Celebi time traveled since Gold and Silver.

Yeah, but now in SV everyone can via Time Machine. Previously you’ld have to be friends w Celebi/Dialga

@@leonardobarbosatelles2779 There was even a Time Capsule to trade with RBY.

Glalie: *succeeds in Gen3 OU to the bafflement of everyone* Froslass: "I raised that boy. Now go make mom proud!" Glalie: "I'm actually your ancestor so-you know what, whatever, let's represent the Snorunt line!"

"Froslass traveled back in Gen 3" This guy predicted Hoenn Gaiden

i guess glalie puts you in the mood(y)

It looks really cool

hes got an angry face but you can tell hes still a very caring person

@@CatFighterForce9 we sure he is hahahahha

dont we all

Iron Bundle, Chien-Pao, Baxcalibur, Weavile: Well...

@@Holo_Phantom in ADV OU: besides cloyster I can't think of much else. And regice is kinda mid from what I know

@@vyktorehon5995 Oh

@@vyktorehon5995 so you were talking about ADV OU..

@@Holo_Phantom sorta I guess, but it was more of a joke to how historically bad most ice types were and having glalie rise is like a celebration or something. I didn't fully think it through

a lot of players do feel that way, HO teams can feel inconsistent and Prediction reliant to some. But plenty of great players excel with aggressive teams, like Hclat and Triangles. There are many different ways to view this format and even the best players Disagree all the time about what's good and what's not

@@jimothycool Venusaur is another niche lead that I feel is worth exploring more… good matchups against most leads with the exception of mence and even then it’s only ohkoed by banded hp flying… not too well but venusaur doesn’t drop to a fire blast from mixed mence, much less mixed tar… i’ve been experimenting with sleep powder, leech seed, razor leaf and hp ice with max investment in speed and sp atk

Iirc in Gen 8, there is one time that Shuckle went from bottom to OU

Quagsire's history in tier lists is a damn roller-coaster

​@@pageclayton6850 quag exists outside the bounds of tiers. Where there is something to fight, quag goes to be unaware of it.

It sounded more like Jimothy wants to shank him to me

unfortunately these were removed in the move to gen 9 :(

@@dotvee Actually, Heal Bell is still in the game, but it's in a bit of a weird spot. The Chansey line is coded to learn it through breeding, but since there are currently no other Pokemon in SV that can learn it, you can't actually obtain or use it without hacking.

Glalie is epic.

Its hated cause moody..

I wouldnt say outright hate, its more like they tried to use it saw how at best his stats are mid and he couldnt perform as well as other offensive ice types

I've adored Glalie since I was a kid... I still have my very first Glalie from my very first Pokemon team ever

Honestly, the one thing I would change about gen 3 is implementing the physical/special split. It's one of those things that's just straight-up an improvement from before, and the fact that literally just allowing pokemon to use moves of a type they want from their better offensive stat is the only thing I'd change about gen 3 says a lot about it.

​@@romanscum5678 Jim addressed in a prior video how the absence of the split in Gen 3 can be positive as it allows a very unique meta compared to those after it. I tend to agree but it would be interesting to see gen 3 with the split

@@d4ws125 I kinda get where you're coming from, but the best reason to not have it in gen 3 imo is that it's not in the games, so it shouldn't be anywhere. But honestly, the split is just one of those things that while I think it shouldn't be implemented, I would like it to be, just cause it's one of those things that was just fixing a hardware limitation. Although I could just play DPPt for something close enough.

@@romanscum5678 good point

Cacturne was actually OP, and ended up getting Sand Veil banned completely

​​@@jimothycool didn't cacnea get some ou use too due to sand viel?

​@@shelfdefence1112 yes.

Balanced ≠ Fair Gen 1 freeze and wrap are going to give me an early death I swear

Snowballin'

I always thought it was because of Moody and that it was his signature ability until hidden abilities became a thing but... No, Moody was introduced in Gen V. This guy is literally an angry hail stone with horns wearing an ice hockey mask. If you tossed it lightly at a pokemon, you'd expect it to shatter on impact but keep biting with whatever piece was left of its mouth like a 70s slasher film. Yet the stats are perfectly balanced.

@@E4439Qv5 lmao

They did the same with Spinda and Castform. I honestly don't understand why they're so evenly distributed. Like with Jirachi I understand, it has a lot of base stats so it can get away with an even distribution But with Glalie and the other two I mentioned, they just don't have enough base stats.

​@@sketchydude8431Spinda is because 360

Hoenn Gaiden?

@@letmecommentstupidyoutube1338 showdown mod, mr jimothy cool covers it a lot on this channel

Gayden

spidops and gholdengo have escaped while garganacl is in another cell

It's a bit hard to get into at first but very rewarding if you stick with it. I'd recommend it

poison should be super effective on water, dont change my mind because that's what its supposed to be if gamefreaks was really accurate

You can tell they tried to design mons around the physical special type system, like how Crawdaunt has a weirdly high SpAt for a physical attacker (compare it to Kingler for example) or Blaziken having both attacking stats be high so it can use both STABs. Many of them ended up being neither fast nor bulky as a result though.

Ok say it

​@@thewisthersgames It was a team that used choice specs palkia to mess with sun and kyogre and zacian for general heavy offense that covered palkia's weaknesses well. Incineroar was the most consistent performer. If you don't know it's goal is to intimidate and pivot out with parting shot to completely nerf the foe's attacking prowess. It's just bulky enough to almost never die without me being able to pivot out. By pivoting out lopunny for a free switch I can then send in a fake out. Then from there, Lopunny can switcheroo or healing wish. Eventually, lopunny will healing wish. In case you don't know, The move fully heals the next mon you switch but faints the user. Obviously, there's a lot of benefit to getting incineroar the most consistent pokemon in the format back to full health and status cure. Better yet it could also be used on damaged palkia or zacian if the situation doesn't allow incineroar to come in. Lopunny is the fastest available healing wish user and its access to fake out and switcheroo klutz is incredible. Its fast enough to outspeed most restricted mons and this really helps it healing wish at the perfect time and use fast switcheroos to disrupt. The most interesting part though is pairing healing wish with ally switch. I won't go in detail on that part. Here's a great video that breaks down pairing ally switch and healing wish. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y5qUlbCjqrm5o5s.html&pp=ygUYaGVhbGluZyB3aXNoIHBva2Vtb24gdmdj

I have tried it, it's not bad! It can threaten pursuit Tar with HP Fighting, and also Skarm, Bliss and Claydol

Bro I'm still afraid of physical special split 😂👍🏻 Even though I started with Gen 3 as my first gen, I am too used to the split-

It's mega is ice dark sadly

w video btw

Ah yes, 42 min old comment on a 1 min old video

@@dynamic8192 he probably privated it before making it public

@@dynamic8192 LOL, this one took a while to process. KZfaq sure is epic.
