What we currently know about the new Pokémon known as Jimothy Cool: • Normal type • Around 50 Speed base speed • Analysts agree that we are operating in Gen 1 mechanics • Access to Hyper Beam, and high enough attack to OHKO beloved member of the community, Mankey (RIP) • Access to Thunderbolt, and high enough Special to potentially OHKO Poliwag but NOT Vapereon Current closest approximate Pokémon: Wigglytuff We, the youtube comment section, promise to provide you with immediate and accurate updates regarding this anomalous pokemon Thank you.
So the KO ranges on Mankey and Poliwag are not particularly useful information, because the level was never specified. An average Mankey or Poliwag is probably pretty low level, so I don't think we get too much information from those. That being said, he did specify it was gen 1 hyper beam, which would be physical, so Blissey is pretty unlikely.
In gen 7 pure hackmons, innards out Chansey is often used to force a KO physical attackers, so huge power Mega Mewtwo X occasionally uses false swipe to beat it
"HAHA! With my strategy, I'm going to catch Zapdos off-guard and get rid of him with my Vaporeon. Every stat in my Vaporeon was calculated for this, every move picked for it to work. As soon as this Zapdos thunderbolts, he will be dead by next turn hahaha!" *A critical hit* Your Vaporeon fainted.
As everyone knows, the Frog Council is well aware of Poliwags situation.. for it was placed there ready for an UNO reverse moment, folks. Any incoming Thunderbolt will be met by Bellibolt absolutely gaining a Charge from this matchup. Don't fear, Poliwag will remain safe.
I read about a game many years back where a player (Green Pikachu, I think) used a +SpD Swampert with 252/252 HP/SD to survive a Sceptile Leaf Blade and KO back with Mirror Coat.
Z-moves were so cool because of this. Z-Belch was something I ran far more than most would be comfortable with on multiple mons (most notably Hydreigon) as it absolutely punted all the Tapus. But truly you could do all sorts of incredible things just one time to remove a supposed counter. Z-dig Greninja comes to mind as well, that became fun once the set became more known.
One of my favorite examples of this that I do is switching in Suicune when I predict that they will go to Magneton, so then they have Mag on the field against Suicune so they click Thunderbolt and I hard switch to Dugtrio, works like a charm most of the time
Sometimes I like to do the Endure Salac Berry HP Ice/Grass Magneton just so I'm able to do something against the incoming dugtrio after I've eaten their Skarmory.
My favorite moment is when in a draft league I had amoongus and they had a salazzle, they ran safety googles as a safe switch in for amoongus which is fair. Until spore fails on switch in, they expect me to switch so they get a “free toxic” and I click stomping tantrum and 1 shot
it's not as big brained as some other plays but I've always loved how easy it is to bluff choice items with expert belt, for pokemon that can cover a lot of type weaknesses effectively
In Gen 6 OU, I sometimes run a bulky mew with a colbur berry + aura sphere to wreck dark types such as weavile, bisharp and choice scarf Ttars.Colbur berry when hit by a knock off only does like 20% to mew from getting KO'd and you can punish them. I once even encountered a beat up Weavile that counters this.
I play doubles more. my favorite surprise is pretending I'm focused on setting up trickroom but instead of protecting my calyrex or torkoal I just attack and protect my trickroom setter.
There was also a Clodsire set I used back when Corviknignt was common in gen9ou His moves were: - Earthquake - Toxic - Recover - Counter The counter was there because at max hp, Clodsire could survive one Brave Bird from Corviknight, and get a ohko on it using Counter
Weakness Policy Volcarona with SpDef and SpAtk investment and a little bit of speed EVs w/ Quiver Dance and HP ground has carried me through so many games during in Gen 6's metagame
I have a Sandstorm team with a Special Modest Tyranitar and opponnets usually would sent out Landrous set up Stealth Rocks and i would 1 hit kill with Ice Beam. Definetly one of the GOATS in my team.
The thing with the soft sand skatm is you are usually dropping tect anyways so it’s not as big a deal to lose lefties because you are gaining 6 per entry instead of 12. Usually HP ground, Roar (fast roar is very useful), spikes and taunt/peck
My favourite one has to be back in the day Gen 4 Mixed Electivire. A physical set was usually expected so they would bring a physical check, then I would Thunderbolt them. If they brought a Blissey, Cross Chop or Earthquake. Probably wasn't very good, but it worked well up to 1300 back in the day
Back in Gen 6 I liked to run a lead Pokemon with Focus Sash and is weak to U-Turn or Volt Switch . After they use the move I would retaliate with Counter or Mirror Coat. Usually ends up KO'ing their "safe switch". Bonus points if the Pokemon was able to using Explosion afterwards.
choice scarf + trick. Better than a KO, because it forces lost turns for the opponent while effectively neutralizing a pokemon (at least, if you choose wisely) and allows you a chance to set up instead. Gardevoir was always my favorite scarf user (Gen 6+), especially with Moonblast/Dazzling Gleam (doubles) and some destiny bond shenanigans. Super EZ way to get your 2 for 1.
I've only dabbled in the Gen VI meta so this isn't some historically famous top level play, but I distinctly remember having never quite liked the matchup vs Venusaur specifically back then. Something about its peskiness, bulk and the ability to sleep powder everything on switch in and then switch out. That is, until I started running Safety Goggles Delphox and countering it every single time much to my glee.
I found Gardevoir has a pretty useful uno reverse in gen 4. Choice specs/ scarf Hetran can be really hard to switch into. Trace copies flash fire and renders the fire stab useless against it. All it really needs to do is stop Hetran from using its fire stab too so you dont even really have to threaten it offensively. It can just kind of sit on it and get some wish support out of Gardevoir and use will-o-wisp for the ttar or scizor that almost always try to switch in on it. It has some use outside of Hetran too. It can switch on Gyarados and it outspeeds Breloom an OHKO's it with even 0 investment in SPA. And can even help PP stall standard support clefable if it has too
for the 2 days terakion was legal in pu this generation you could run a Max hp Max def abomasnow with weaknesses policy, tank a banded Teraks close combat, and either KO back with tera Ice blizzard, or heal with Giga drain then KO the next turn with ice shard
That is the most devious subscribe pitch. I would expect that from iron mugulis but not from THEe Jimothy. Good thing I was already subscribed so the poliwag could live.
So if I unsubscribe, Gen 5 OU might turn into a rainless metagame, but I won't be informed about new quality content about the competitive scene of Pokémon, which is a video game series originating in Japan? What to do...
in adv zu, rhyhorn can run a specially bulky spread to tank 4x super effective hp grass from koffing and ohko back with counter thanks to the gen's mechanics !
Tera has introduced so many of these situations that I don't even know where to start hell I climbed the BSS format to Master in Scarlet Violet running a horrifically unviable tera blast tera water Scizor to catch so many Volcarona players and just play the 3v2
It's funny how close yolo skarm is to actually being good, but with mag's huge base def, it ends up having to sacrifice just a little too much to become standard. After all, speedy skarm with taunt is a legit set. If mag just had a bit less speed and way less def, I could totally have seen the meta moving toward spikes/ground/taunt/roar with lefties, where deviating from this would be seen as the greedy option. If mag had 70 base def instead of 95, skarm would only need 56 atk EVs to guarantee kill, so mag players would have to shift to bulky sets to not get one-shot, in turn incentivizing more atk investment from the skarm. But if mag switches to bulky sets, that means it isn't investing in speed, so skarm could drop speed to beat these mags while maintaining bulk, in exchange for losing to speedy mags. Maybe this ends up encouraging some skarms to pick up sub over taunt, so they can reliably beat mag even when outsped by subbing on the switch. You end up asking this really interesting "who counters who?" question straight from team building, where there isn't a clear cut answer.
can't believe you talked about normalium Z kartana without even mentioning timid kartana... with 19 Attack IVs and a Timid nature Beast Boost grants a boost to Speed instead of Attack, so if you swords dance on the Scarf bluff and destroy Zapdos with Breakneck Blitz you become way harder to revenge (compounded by bulk investment) and can often just win on the spot
Killing Poliwag will eliminate the existence of its evolved forms, creating new paradox Pokémon Wet Frog and Iron Croak. This could have major implications for the fragile Paldea ecosystem.
Lately I’ve been a HUGE fan of ADV DD Mixtar (either HP Grass or Ice Beam for Pert or Mence/Flygon) and HP Fire Dol with special investment to bait in Forre (and sometimes chip Skarm more effectively)
kartana was my favourite mon to use in gen 8 ou for a similar interaction, since most teams had a lando-t and most players would go to it on kartana you could very easily tech to take advantage of it in more ways than one. my favourite set in the tier was the 19atk iv timid kart with 252hp and speed, since they're always going lando and they can't 2 hit you with eq you essentially have 4 free turns to swords dance and ko them for a speed boost (you can either go to +3 to preserve hp or if everything's chipped into range you can go all the way to +5 to win on the spot). there's also a really cool set with adrenaline orb that can dump into attack as usual, it relies more heavily on the lando bait but it's even easier to pull off a sweep
A real troll strat is dynamic punch on poliwrath with a choice band. If they swap into a psychic or a tank ( blissy snorlax umbreon cloyster) expecting a water move they have a heart stopping 50 50 moment. Then they try to one shot it and you live on thin if its not a stab weakness and scare them again.😂😂😂 Not sure if its in this gen or ruleset though.
in gen 3 I like to make my raikou lax with 252 HP 252 Def and a salac berry. If you get dug trapped you can HP grass tank the hit then pop salac to outspeed and kill or force switch to get a calm mind boost. Sometimes running baton pass instead of substitute is really funny too to just pass the speed and calm mind boost if the dug swaps out
Idk if this counts as a bait but in general 3 I would run roar on suicune to move first and prevent enemy roars from skarm or whatever. It let me get hazard damage and an extra calm mind in a lot of situations.

Zapdos used Thunderbolt
It’s a critical hit!
Now imagine if a Magneton was made SPECIFICALLY to beat anti-trap Skarmory by running Sturdy instead of Magnet Pull. The ultimate reverse reversal.
