Pokemon Competitive Singles in Gen 3 has a long history. Regice was once an OU ranked Pokemon, but it fell to UUBL as its usage and success dwindled over time.
However, Regice has some excellent advantages over other Special walls, and in Gen 3 the normally terrible Ice typing actually has some benefits.
Regice has seen a bit of a resurgence as a Special wall that fits on faster paced teams.
This is insane.
Iron Mugulis and Iron Fellow know all about it. Old Money doesn't know a thing.
Only JimCool knows about the viability of Regice. All other sources of information are liars and are inaccurate.

Some will never figure out how to get Heracross in Pokemon Scarlet and Heracross Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Heracross Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Heracross Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.
The below text is very relevant to many people.
Game Freak just blew all other online game development schools out of the water with this incredible new 2022 release. You're gonna need to get a game design degree online, and FAST, if you want to make a better game than this. Not even the best strategy games android reddit could hold a candle to this breathtaking Next generation competitive Pokemon experience.
Scream Tail is the Jigglypuff of our wildest dreams. It has been buffed with some higher statistics and the incredible ability, Protosynthesis. Gen 9 Competitive Pokemon wouldn't be the same without this powerful pink blob. He kinda looks like someone I met in one of my game design and development courses.
Gen 9 Pokemon Showdown is one of the greatest online gaming sites in history. From Pikachu and Charizard, to Palafin and Roaring Moon, The new Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, have introduced a lot of new faces. Can I succeed in one of the best android games of all time? If so, I'm gonna get myself a Walmart bakery Pokemon cake to celebrate.
Gholdengo is a Pokemon made of pure gold. He must have done some online business management courses to accumulate all that wealth. Or perhaps he might want to learn how to make money playing video games on RUclips. In any case, he's a powerful metagame force, with absolutely no interest in online game development schools.

This is the greatest mug of all time. Bro went from threatening a fictional city to invading real life, what a good written mug.
Wait... but how are there multiple Iron Mugulis now? Did multiple come through? Have counterfeit replicas been created? Or has it been cloned? Surely we must take caution in handling these objects. Perhaps he has a backup plan or some dark scheme. I suggest we ship these mugs to a variety of different places away from each other and keep them securely within the households who have made the sacrifice to keep a watch on the potentially dangerous object.
Europe waiting room Iron Mugulis starts today
Yes
@naturelulI umm... multiverse theory. Don't worry though. All iron mugulis possibilities resolve to a normal mug upon reaching our reality.
I cannot fathom that the mythical Celebi, the time travel Pokemon, hates the legendary Regice, the Iceberg Pokemon. This is insane.
Celebi probably travelled back in time and got passage on a certain ship in the early 1910s, leaving it traumatised of Icebergs.
The ship started it.
Imagine being a celebi, losing a game to a regice, and NOT time travelling back to win with full knowledge of how the match went.
@@Rainbro359 Fair. But on the other hand, trauma is not rational like that.
@@saltlakeatrocity9771 To quote _Doctor Who_ : You can't change history if you're a part of it.
"It appears that in the real world, Iron Mugulus is nothing more than a regular, old, harmless mug"
What if that's what Iron Mugulus WANTS us to think? Awfully suspicious of Jimothy to want to sell and spread this unspeakable monster as well. Maybe the Iron Australian timeline is already here...
Iron Mugulis is simply a tourist.
Oh no. This is insanely terrible.
Don't forget Jimothy also defended Gholdengo recently. I believe that Old Money is behind the unusual behaviour of Jimothy Cool.
@@Vassilinia Old Money is replacing Jimothy Cool with his future paradox form, Iron Sellout. This is insane.
It’s not mugulis we need to worry about; but the iron drop bears, they’re even more vicious than normal ones
Regice : has a body so cold even lava couldn’t melt it
Also Regice : doesn’t have Heatproof
Sadness

Even better, give it rocky payload
Ice type is often considered to be the wordt defensive typing in all of pokemon.
with only a single resistance to itself
and 4 weaknesses to common types
including a damning rock weakness
leaving them vulnerable to stealth rock damage
, leaving them vulnerable to stealth rock damage.
But like, can we talk about that thanks to our support to Jimothys videos, we made it possible for the creation of Iron Mugulis in Real life as *ACTUAL merch for the channel??*
🥺
I know! You gotta love it
Rhett and/or Link: Yes, let's talk about that.
Let’s all give ourselves a pat on the back
Ice type is weird to me because I feel like they figured it out in gen 4 with Weavile, Mamoswine, Froslass, and Abomasnow’s weather was pretty good too, but then they just… forgot and continued to make weird decisions with ice types ever since
++++
And then they figured it out again, but in a one-dimensional sweeping manner with Arctozolt and every single new Paldean Ice-type.
dont forget about galarian darmanitan
Vanilluxe was kinda fair when it got snow warning and beartic (for its tier in pvp) got pretty decent since hail changed to snow, just sad that the rest of the game has power crept a lot more
Weavile and Mamoswine are not good. Mamoswine learns no strong ice attacks (Ice Fang/Avalanche) so ice is mainly just a detriment. Donphan is a better pokemon despite worse stats (although rapid spin is really important). Weavile's attacks are all stuck at
Ice type was a genuinely good defensive type in gen 1. The types it's weak to are largely irrelevant, while its Ice resistance is hugely valuable due to how common Blizzard is. Additionally, freeze is effectively an OHKO, so that immunity is even more relevant. As it's just as good of an offensive type as it always is, Ice is *really* good in gen 1.
Ice type prior to stealth rock was goated
One element that I think made so many defensive/unspecialized Pokemon worse over time is the addition of good moves.
Like back in Gen 1-3 there were very few moves that cracked the 100 bsp benchmark and most that did were either not very far spread out or had their utility neutered due to the phy-special type mechanic. Leading the few super strong moves that could be good, to not be usable to the desired maximum. This led to the death of the viability of mons that were not optimized for defense.
If I had to point at a single move that symbolizes this, I would point at close combat. A 120 bsp move with relativly small downsides, when compared to it's power and distribution. I would seriously argue that this move singlehandedly made normal types unviable in some METAs
Great Analysis! Gen1-3 were very imbalanced when it came to moves. Some types (especially special types) were loaded with strong attacks while other types were weak or the few good moves were exclusive to a few mons (e.g, Megahorn)
“Iron mugulis is now for sale” is not the announcement I expected to hear today
The menace, Iron Mugulus, must be stopped.
Game Freak, in a move completely uncharacteristic of a company of its stature, has destroyed the balance of the Generation 9 singles RU metagame by buffing the already mighty Electric/Normal Pokémon by providing it access to yet another signature move in "Mug", a 250 base power Normal-type move which has the additional effect of deducting $21.99 from my bank account on hit.
I understand that these traits are generally considered balanced in VGC, the official format for competitive Pokémon play, but Game Freak must consider the ramifications this has for all Pokémon gamers.
All 3 original regis should have access to a recovery move
Shore Up would be pretty flavorful.
I would love to see a video that compiles the entire Iron Mugulis story
There is one out there, but it's very out of date now.
I figured it out.
252+ SpA Quark Drive Iron Mugulis Blizzard vs. 6 HP / 252 SpD Assault Vest Golurk: 266-314 (83.1 - 98.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Golurk Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Iron Mugulis: 380-450 (111.4 - 131.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
If he ends up getting it, 252+ Atk Iron Fist Golurk Headlong Rush vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Iron Mugulis: 422-500 (104.4 - 123.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Golurk is coming back in Indigo Disk. Iron Mugulis wasn't plotting anything in the real world. He knew Golurk was on to him, and would potentially be armed with techniques to one-shot him regardless of his defensive IVs, so he's running for the hills!
Fun fact, Regice was pronounced as "Regi-Ice" in the anime
Most people do who aren't able to read properly.
Fun fact, Groudon is pronounced as 'Growdon' by everyone apart from jimothycool

@@enoyna1001even using the spelling of Regice, you can end with up a Regi-ice pronunciation, as following:

THIS VIDEO MAKES ME SO HAPPY I LOVE REGICE SO MUCH AND TO SEE MY FAVORITE RUclipsR COVER MY FAVORITE POKÉMON IS SO AWESOME!!!!!
Looks more like a Ceramic Mugulis to me. How will this type change effect its place in the viability rankings?
Regice is cool. This is insane
*With a white ceramic design...*
"Sorry. But I probably shouldn't buy another mug..."
*...and a handsome, blue-accented alternative*
"FINE FINE I'LL GET IT STOP TWISTING MY ARM"
Here’s some buffs I’m thinking of giving the Regis, so they can be competitively viable in modern gens:
-Regirock: Gets the signature ability Stonemason, which renders it immune to Rock, being healed by 1/4 of its max HP if hit by a Rock move, and will remove Stealth Rock and be healed by 1/4 of its max HP upon switching in if Stealth Rock is on its side of the field. Also gets the signature move Sandstone Slam, an 65 power Rock physical move that sets up Sandstorm if it hits.
-Regice: Gets the signature ability Permafrost, which makes it take 1/4 of the damage it normally takes from Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel moves. Also gets the signature move Cryonic Cannon, an 65 power Ice special move that sets up Snow if it hits.
-Registeel: Gets Well-Baked Body. Also gets the signature move Wolfram Whip, an 70 power Steel move that hits twice.
-Regigigas: Slow Start is reworked so that it increases Regigigas’ Attack and Speed by 1 stage each at the end of every turn, but it lowers Regigigas’ Attack and Speed by 2 upon switching in. This is because Regigigas is basically Slaking: A Pokémon that has everything working for it…if it wasn’t completely hampered by its ability.
Tfw when german pretzel dog and gigantic ahh steel giant of death share the same ability:
Definitely picking up my Shiny Iron Mugulis really soon. Hopefully it has the Bold Nature, to support the Bold Moveset I will be teaching it.
Do not fall for Iron Mugulis‘ evil plans! He must have used an AI or something to recreate Jimothy‘s voice! Once he has successfully invaded your homes he will rule with an iron fist!
Funnily enough, Avalugg has finally become a relevant defensive wall...in Gen 9 NU, where it pairs fantastically with Chansey. Chanslugg defensive cores are currently taking over the meta, largely because the NU power level is low enough that even the offensive Fighting types can't OHKO you with a STAB Close Combat (the main fighting types in NU right now are Heracross, Toxicroak, and maybe the occasional Hariyama, none of whom can get a surefire KO on the Lugg. Even Adamant CB Heracross tops out at 87% using Close Combat, Toxicroak needs to be Adamant to even have a slim chance of OKHOing even after a Swords Dance). Sure, it's small in the grand scheme of things, but it's nice that the Ice Table is finally finding a home after years of being Untiered.
They need to replace Freeze with Frostbite in newer games and adjust the chances to match the other statuses. With the DEF boost from Snow and the SATK debuff on opponents via Frostbite, maybe they wouldn't die as easily as before.
Maybe give Ice 2 more resistances. Ground and Water should work (make Ice weak to Scald to mirror Water weakness to Freeze Dry).
I get what you're saying but lets not make Scald any more useful
I think that ice should resist water and dragon
@@joao20ableI mean scald has very limited distribution in gen 9 now nat Dex though it would effect more

Folks, I am concerned that Iron Mugulis will hold a vendetta against me from the first years of my life as a Jimothy Cool non-subscriber. I am reminded of his nefarious deeds and wonder if the sweet hot beverages will be worth the great and real threat to my life.
Iron Mugulis can be forgiving.
This is insane
Loved the regis ever since their cryptic introduction in gen 3. Maybe do a video on gen 4 uu registeel. Goated mon
Having Iron Mugulis handy for those annoying invasive Pokemon is quite insane, I will take advantage of this opportunity ASAP. Thank you Jimothy, very gaming and cool.
Just got my Iron Mugulis! Gotta do my part to keep our metagame safe in the real world.
Gen 9 gave ice types a well needed buff by replacing hail with snow.
Now they just need to replace Freeze with Frostbite and give Ice 2 resistances (I vote Water and Ground) and maybe Ice would become decent.
@@nunyabiznes33 ice and water being resistant to eachother make alot of sense, throw an ice cube in a lake it melts, throw a cup of water on a glacier it freezes.
@@nunyabiznes33I vote flying cuz what can a bird really do to ice? I doubt birds are strong enough to actually dent ice.
That’s not exactly a buff. Snow is sometimes better and hail is sometimes better. Gen 8 hail teams wouldn’t have wanted snow as opposed to hail. It’s kinda redundant with veil anyway which buffs the 4 non Ice types on your team as well as your arctozolt and ninetales. Meanwhile the chip damage has useful applications like breaking multiscale which lowers Dragonite’s bulk to the level where arctozolt’s blizzard one shots. It’s better for ice in monotype formats though.
A defensive ice-type that actually works?!? This is insane.
Iron Mugulis isn't available in Canada...
This is insane.
Yooo, the iron mugulis mug is fire. Great work as always Jimothy Cool
it is actually normal/electric.
@@hps362its actually british / electric
I'm losing sleep over iron mugulus already and then you lay this on me !
Me when can’t get mug cause I live in Canada 😩
Sorry! We've gotta be Tax compliant with different countries which is complicated. Will hopefully add more markets in the future
European here... I don't have to fear an invasion of the Iron Mugulus army, either.
Ice types deserve at least two more resistances
Even just making it resist water would be nice
Can’t wait to show my parents my nee Iron Mugulus. Mom and dad always wanted their own robot with coffee, now they make coffee from a robot to be poured into another to be consumed for out WiFi battles, class seminars, and work force obligations.
All because of you Jimmy Cool.
Thank you 😇 ☕️
Love to see you got Iron Mugulis merch now! Hopefully it'll be shipping to Canada soon, cause I'll buy it as soon as it does!
I knew my boy would be viable!
Regice is my favorite of the Regis. He's shaped like a friend. I want to hug him. :)
Damn, the long-running joke was actually a marketing campaign
I always watch for the Iron Mugulus posting!
No breakfast update because I just got home from a night with friends, and am listening to this and the last few videos I've missed as what I'm falling asleep to. Keep up the content Jimothy, love seeing your vids
Is this video the first ever sighting of the shiny Iron Mugulis? As dangerous as Iron Mugulis is, i must say, i really like the blue accents on the shiny version
There was that one Snow Cloak Brightpowder Articuno that made Day 2 of Worlds recently, can't have defensive holes if you never get hit, right?
Really happy for the merch announcement, definitely a nice development! I hope that Iron Mugulis will ship out to EU one day as well. I'll definitely buy it if that happens.
Regice and Regirock being a defensive core would be funny. Use Regirock to switch into physical threats that would check Regice, and use Regice to switch into special threats that would check Regirock.
Hit the nail on the head. It's all about trade offs. Being Ice-type is a setback, so the other aspects of the Pokémon need to compensate harder to pass that threshold to have that viability.
The Regice-Blissey comparision is a brilliant example of how stats do serious heavy lifting for some defensive pokémon.
We finally did it… we now have iron mugulis as a marketable plushy. This could be what turns the tide to restore the former peace.
Jimothy you are the only man to have ever convinced me to by a youtuber’s merchandise
Avalugg be frustrated at the corner
nice, it was something I asked once I recall. I think that was the last time you asked for video suggestions.
Bro jimothy captured iron magulis and made clones and then sell it as merchandise 💀
Regice has always been my favorite Pokémon. I remember encountering it in Omega Ruby, and witnessed it being but barely scathed by my Camerupt's Flamethrower. I then proceeded to purchase an Assault Vest in the post-game, and oh my gosh he was the MVP of my team.
If only Regice had Recover, man. You'd really have a strong alternative to Blissey. Back in 200 play before FRLG came out, Regice was nearly mandatory on teams to slow down Pokemon like Alakazam, which was much more popular back then. It's great that people are still finding use for Regice in gen 3 though, I'm glad it didn't just get replaced entirely when Blissey came around.
I love the merch, very cool. Might need to jug up and cop that cup.
Iron Mugulis looks soooo good can't wait for his arrive in germany
If I'm choking while drinking Coffee with Iron Mugulis,does it create an Iron chugulis?
Let's take a look at this rare instance of a defensive ice type actually being good, and how the pokemon is used on competetive teams.
I just like splashing nightmare onto a Pokémon to hit those rest talk sets hard
This defensive ice-type actually works.
Iron Mugulis being overfilled definitely has to be some type of Mug torture
Shiny Iron Mugulis has finally been revealed. This is insane.
Seeing thunder wave hit a jolteon is ungodly
iron mugulis ad resurrected my happiness
Iron Mugulis may be a digimon because It was able to materialize itself into the human world.
We now have a confirmed shiny for iron mugulus
There ought to be a special campaign where 1/100 of Iron Mugulises shipped is in its rare shiny form.
Also give it the antique/phony or unremarkable/masterpiece marks like Polteageist and Sinistcha. People will be buying them by the hundreds to get the ultra-rare shiny masterpiece mug.
Anyway, I ordered 78.
Who else thought this video was going to be about “a defensive ice-type that actually works… because you can terastallize the defensive Pokemon into an actual defensive type like steel”
Snorlax does have a poor match-up in skarmory, but if its a choice band set, doesn't self destruct more or less remove skarmory?
Mixed set with fire blast should also do decent chip.
Steel, rock and fighting smash ice, fire melts it.
Ice should be given resistances to two types.
Ghost.
Flying.
I honestly love the iron mugulis im gonna get one when i get paid!!
I like how Iron Mugulis comes with a shiny
Could you imagine the resurgence of Regice in gen 9 thanks to the snow buff? I can, and it would make Regice and Regirock outclass Registeel thanks to their respective weather effects.
iron mugilis is only available in US and australia? That's atrocius! How shall I conquer the world now?
Iron Mugulis is the least dangerous animal native to Australia. And that says a lot about Australia because Mugulis has already wiped three timelines
I love you Jimmy.
Even if u have ice heart emotions and 200 Spc Def, like Regice
You think Psych Up may be a good move for Regice? I can see Regice copying boosts from Calm Mind users.
Watching a Regice get stronger the moment you get stronger and more focused would be an actual horror story in the Pokemon universe
This is a fascinating topic.
Finally i can do competitive singles coffee drinking with Iron Mugulis
Iron Mugulis is currently in transit

I feel like just resisting water or grass would go a long way
Iron fellow plushie when?
Jimothy selling iron mugulis merch?? Have Gholdengo's threats and bribes finally worked??? This is insane!
Regice was always my favorite of the Regi's, but I always saw it being a defensive ice type as extremely unfortunate, so it's good to know that there was a point where it was not only good, but OU even if it isn't OU by usage anymore in that setting.
Yeah Regice is really good in gen 3. It matched up really well against the elite four and Wallace
