I noticed there are a few people saying "ferrothorn swapping would have ruined this" While this Is certainly true, there Is also some things to consider. will space this down to avoid spoilers. 1). You know what the strategy Is In the title because you have been told by me, this Is classic hindsight thought. Not many would have 100% guessed what was happening and It wasn't obvious I was going to only use perish song right away with absol. (Sure when skill swap was Introduced, but ferrothorn was not at any real disadvantage. (It was still hitting me every now and then like any of the other 5 pokemon could do. 2). Ferrothorn stayed in the entire time relentlessly hitting (attempting) me with gyro ball and stopping me from using spore due to it's grass typing. Swapping in any other pokemon would do the same job with the evasion I had up, the only thing that may have stopped it was a z move (100% accuracy) or ferrothornn (and any other pokemon) getting lucky and stopping my set up by not missing. If you watch carefully ferrothorn actually ran out of Gyro ball just as or close to Absol coming in. This left It only with one attacking move , power whip which Is poor accuracy and 2 status moves leech seed , toxic. I was behind a sub making the 2 status moves useless and ferrothorn only had power whip to rely on. It makes sense It swapped as It was not favourable conditions as earlier when It had a 100% accuracy move and a good type advantage vs spore smeargle. I decided to take a risk and use perish song right away in hopes they swapped and I was very lucky as this could have gone wrong like it had done already many times. If this didn't happen I would have just kept using substitute until the opponent either got fed up missing and swapped or pp stalled or dc'd. The main advantage of this sweep was also it's greatest weakness as the first pokemon was required to swap after I copied it's ability. It didn't really matter what pokemon was there as I had evasion up for any moves. (I wanted to use smeargle with spore to encourage a swap , however the matchup prevented this. I first wanted to do this with absol only as the hit I had attached was red card, this was my means of getting them to swap. I decided to try It with a mega and got a luccky swap after countless fails. 3). "Why did the opponent not swap". They could NOT swap due to mean look. I used this on the second turn after an initial perish song, usually I would mean look to begin with but I thought I would see how long I could get away with it for. Ultimately If they adapted and swapped after 1 perish song, I would and could have simply used mean look at the beginning of every matchup. I continued to do It as I was able to get away with it. This seems pretty basic and had no real effect on the battle whatsoever. As per usual every strategy has flaws and this has so many it's not funny. Hope this answers a few basic factors that I experienced in attempting this strategy :) Next time I will Include a detailed analysis of the battle In the outro, I encourage all the people who had this thought to listen at the end next time, thanks for giving a good idea!
Basculin sweep. All it needs is adaptibility, Liquidation and a mystic water. Yeah u can see where I'm goin' and if u also have a smeargle that has swords dance and agility then the Basculin would be pure hell
I was not the only one to notice that ! Was about to make the same comment and I saw yours ! Ty 😂 Only problem was Infiltrator opponents and lack of luck 😄 Even if one adapt and switch just after Requiem, Pimp can also adapt and use Mean Look first, then maybe lacking PPs could have been à problem but it seems not likely.
The Soundproof+Perish Song combo was a stroke of brilliance. Too bad it only works against players who watched a "Top 6 OP Competitive Pokemon" video as their only experience with the game. Well done Ben!

His opponent could have stalled out his Perish Song if they had the sense to switch when he used it, he always used Mean Look second so there was a always a turn where switching was an option.
Also the z-move was wasted, he should have waited to break the sub first. Either with his low accuracy moves on tornados or another pokemon in the last turn of perish song
Full rage quit team! Slowking/slowbro Corsola Audino Amoonguss/foongus Toxapex/mareanie Tangela All with the regenerator ability and max ivs and evs in defense and special defense. All with either assault vest or eviolite to boost defense and special defence as high as you can get them. Then all you have to do is keep switching pokemon (strategical changes may be required to avoid getting hit by super effective moves). Edit: could also sub out one of those pokemon for Mienshao with taunt to avoid being set up on.
Wow its good to be back on your channel man, its been way too long. i was really worried i wouldnt be able to find your channel after so long. but then the AD ended and your video started. those 15 seconds of the Advertisement felt like an eternity
These sweeps kinda only work if the opponent is stupid. Opponent could've just kept switching until Perish Songs PP ran out, without trying to attack, he could've switched Ferrothorn as soon as Skill Swap was used, and so on.
@@zorquil Swap a pokemon in, swap it out. It's you take 2 PP off of Perish Song rather than just one per Pokemon.With 8 max PP, it's pretty straight forward, really.
@@dd7896 Ah, that's what you mean. However, what's stopping him from using Mean Look first? He used Perish Song first in the video, but I would think Mean Look then Perish Song would be safer, right?
@@zorquil Well depends on what you identify as "safer". It'd prevent the opponent from switching out, yes, but it'd also mean, if the opponent hits him the turn he uses mean look, he needs to set up another substitute, which then again means he has one more turn before perish song ends, and so on. In general, sweeps such as that mainly work if opponents have both a very imbalanced teamsetup and also a lack of understanding what's going on. Especially during the setup portion.
I have an idea A full Super Smash Bros. Team The Pokemon would only use the moves from Smash Pikachu - Quick Attack - Thunderbolt - Thunder - Volt Tackle Jigglypuff - Rollout - Pound - Sing - Rest Mewtwo - Shadow Ball - Confusion - Disable - Psystrike Lucario - Aura Sphere - Force Palm - Extreme Speed - Double Team Greninja - Water Shuriken - Shadow Sneak - Hydro Pump - Substitute Incineroar @ Incinium Z - Darkest Lariat - Cross Chop - Revenge - (Put any move you want here, Alolan Whip isn't a move in Pokemon)
I had lv.100 max defense max sp.defense 2 gengar with mean lock perish song u-turn AND shaow ball incase ability cursed body it was op both have sitrus berry
So if the Ferrothorn never switched out and and reset the ability... what would you have done then? It would still have Sound Proof and be immune to Perish song wouldn't it? Or does Role play also act like a Gastro Acid on the opponent and remove theirs as you copy it?
What if mega mewtwo X/Y have pure/huge power ability how much DMG will deal. I wonder if blissey can use transform some how using another move to make it work. If you know what I mean.
FULL BATON PASS TEAM! You select pokemons (only ones that can learn baton pass and they have to have baton pass in their move slot) but the only way you can switch is by using baton pass

I'm not gonna read all of that I'm just gonna trust that you are right about all of that because you seem like a very trust worthy guy
@@jjamiko lol same
Okay so what about if ferrothorn had not swapped at all and stayed with soundproof?
Your strategy would be ruined if an opposing Pokémon had moves like Aerial Ace...
Basculin sweep. All it needs is adaptibility, Liquidation and a mystic water. Yeah u can see where I'm goin' and if u also have a smeargle that has swords dance and agility then the Basculin would be pure hell
9:58 "However there are moves that can get around Substitute like sound-"

I narrated this when I was up for 24 hours oh well haha
@@PIMPNITE i like how you love your mistakes now though haha, gota own em!
"You can't possibly beat me with a level 1 Absol"
Pimpnite: "Then perish (song)."
They had to be brutal watching all those countdowns. Knowing that in the end you are totally helpless to stop it from happening
This was ABSOLutely amazing that you pulled this off with perish song.
Nice
Yes
The Soundproof+Perish Song combo was a stroke of brilliance. Too bad it only works against players who watched a "Top 6 OP Competitive Pokemon" video as their only experience with the game.
Well done Ben!
That's exactly what make these so much fun to watch XD
10:00
Pimp:"Sound based moves can get around substitute"
Me: But... You got soundproof
lsedanolg but if the reshiram had hyper voice and hit😏
But he has soundproof
But a sound move in a moldbreaker pkmon would work!
Spiky Absol....
thats a theme team material right there xD
full spiky team :P
If pimp doesn't do this I'm stealing this idea k
huntdown1 What about full soft team?
IceBlade4 or full hard teaam?
Damn son this guy got rekt. Will I make an absol pun? Absol-utely not
And watched this video in 2x speed just so I could leave a comment :Kai:
that zoom in at 7:03 😂 great video as always, loved the strategy 👍
Wow that big
KilladileGames no!!!!!!!i believe reshot a.m. is girl! this is only the fur!
It's a male?!?how did I not notice?
delete this or I will call police.
Gave it a _"Mean Look"_

Mega blastose water gun tackle sweep
Everyone: Absol puns.
No one: Fail Friday shade thrown
**ABSOL**utely not
Ok. That's clever...
Now I'll have to see if there's a Soundproof Pokémon that can learn Perish Song & Mean Look.
You. You. You. You madman
That would be gengar
Can you make a Glameow, Purugly, or Meowstic sweep in tribute to Grumpy Cat who sadly passed away a few days ago?

@@cooldragon4882 That's true of most people that fall for this stuff. Zero priority moves, get swept noob.

Now I will ABSOLutely never unsee what you did with Reshiram there.
Pokemon Competitivo fan: Mega absol is a Bad mega Evolution
Pimpinite: *make this video*
Pokemon Competitive Fan: *Pikachu surprised face*
Lol that zoom on reshiram was funny. Right after that tornadus comes out with that tiny red rocket too.
Soundproof protects against sound based moves so they can’t get passed the sub
Props to the guy for not quitting as soon as he realized what was going on. I would have just left lol
Oh god, getting flashbacks to Gen 6 with Gothitelle and Mega Gengar in doubles/triples only this is with a level 1. This person has to be raaaaaging
The opponent is stupid from switching out of Ferrothorn, they would have been immune anyways

What, your Absol is evolving
Congratulations, your absol evolved into a level 100 spiky absol
8:43 after that did you said then my Absol digivolve ;-; your should say then my absol mega evolve ;-;?
Also 1:43 or so
If i the enemy i probably Scream.. Annoyed by perish song that is ABSOLutely scary...
You could say absol was
Safe and Sound.
I hate how well this works
What a clever meathod.
The strategies you use are always so fun to watch, and I always learn something from them. Keep up the awesome work!
This is still ABSOL-lutely incredible, even after almost 5 years!
Thank you!
