Check out Revival Tournaments for Old Gen Tournament coverage: www.youtube.com/@RevivalTournaments Edit: Folks, he didn't use Unown. I just chose Unown to represent an unrevealed Pokemon
Jim, just wanted to reinforce how much I enjoy this type of content. As an avid smash player (and viewer), knowing who some of the top players are and getting to understand their personalities is what holds my continued interest in the game and the community. You are doing a good job at nurturing interest in Revival Tournaments in much the same way, and video breakdowns like this add a lot imho. I've been more motivated to keep up with Revival Tournaments as a result of efforts like these. Thank you for helping to facilitate so much delicious competitive Pokémon content!
Jim, I love these tourney recaps. You're very good at building the tension and making me actually go "OHH it's a Swords Dance Celebi!" aloud. Keep it up Jim, you're insane.

Really like this kind of video! I miss smogon tournaments because I don't know how to watch them but these feels like I get some of the action along with analysis
Jimothy, thank you for making your videos. They're interesting and when I'm just not feeling it they're oddly comforting, just such level yet enthusiastic commentary is always welcome.
Briefly after gen 3 was released people thought slaking would dominate the tier. Everything and their mother ran Protect, Skarmory ran full phys def, people were deathly afraid of Hyper Beam of all things... the hype died down pretty quick though
The sets where amazing and I enjoy ABR as his team are mostly above standard Ideals. It lovely to see unseen pokemon preforming at a high level for a niche role that catches the opponents off guard.
I hope that the next time you show off the great ape, you properly represent him. Slaking has no shame for its truant ability and his "wasted" turns. It's actually a power play; a mind game ability. You ought to show a few pivotal moments of his underappreciated ability, as it is terrifying to be on the recieving end of a Pokemon voluntarily burning its turn and knowing it will still win the game. Slacking wants us to trust him, because he is really the work-life balance ape. I hope to see a slacking only tournament from you someday.
I think Slaking used to be OU near the start of Gen 3. So it surprises me more that he would be considered bad now than it would surprise me if he were considered to he decent.
I lost to a Slaking one hour ago. I think it's because someone watched this video and decided they can kill my offensive Zapdos, and any similar Pokemon with it.
While many think that Slaking is simply wasting turns with Truant, he is actually asking the Crystal Coconut for guidance, as taught to him by his elder Cranky Kong.
Question for Jim & Readers: Do you think an "Amateurs League" ruleset would be fun to play on showdown? It would be played at lv 50, with 0 IVs, EVs, Egg Moves, or Event Pokemon. (Pokemon that Evolve after level 50 would be unusable) I've been pondering such a set of restrictions. Pokemon would essentially just have stats equal to their Base Stats, save for natures, and a limited movepool. Hence the name, "Amateur".
Folks, this is getting out of hand. OLD MONEY has made a fortune by TRICKing gamblers at the MAUVILLE CITY CASINO, who did not believe in SLAKING, out of their hard earned Poke$$$. Absolutely insane.

Rumor has it that Slaking may have been holding an Amulet Coin, and thus could be entitled to a whopping $2000.00.
I can't believe competitive teams haven't tried this before, blowing the meta wide open.
surely a tactic he picked up from gholdengo, no doubt
@@bawbehh Old Money rather
Honestly if you can win a tournament with an Amulet Coin on your team you deserve to be paid more.
They should do a tournament where if your winning hit has amulet coin on the Mon it gets double money somehow
Slaking is no longer Slacking. He is now Hardworking. This is Insane.
Mega evolving in Gen 3 is crazy
Work hard, slack hard
He never was he is Slayking
Waiting for the new regional form of Slaking, Chambaking
He is now a legendary beyond psuedo like palafin
Donkey Kong and Slaking experiencing success in tournaments decades after their respective competitive game released is the best timeline.
The Slaking Renaissance
Return to monkey
the great gorilla renaissance.
Return to Monke
big monkey got money
It's not Slakover folks
We're Slakback
And he's Slaking.
This is inane.

Metapod would never point and laugh at someone. He would just laugh at them since he has no finger to point with.
Counter-idea, he has nubby butterfree arms inside the cocoon. He points, but nobody can see except Luxray.
But the real question is, what is slaking going to do with the $1000?
He put that into a High Interest Savings Account.
He will eat that money
Hookers and cocaine like God intended
@jimothycool would not expect less from thd work smart not hard ape.
@@jimothycoolTo be fair, that is probably the most Slaking thing he could have done with it.
As a passerby, I point and laugh at Jimothy Cool non-subscribers.
wow
Slaking is a Pokémon with traits and characteristics.
Truly one of the Pokémon of all time
Slaking exists.
ABR brought so much cool stuff. I was a big fan of him bringing Regirock in both sets
The Pokemon marcargo has gotten more in debt from betting that slaking would lose what a fool

Every day I learn of some new horror that I narrowly avoided by being a Jim Cool subscriber. I shutter thinking of the road not traveled.
How will slaking continue his career following the recent allegations?
Everyone's talking about Slaking, but I'm honestly really glad to see Regirock get some time in the spotlight.
Nah Slaking had a spotlight in this weekend 💀
Slaking was once thought to be completely unviable in Gen 3 OU
A Pokémon held back by its ability Truant, making it highly exploitable
Although it’s ranked higher in gen 3 then any other generation.
With a respectable UUBL placement
Most pro players would not choose to bring a slacking to the table
with their tournament life on the line
Suspicious recommendation timing 🤔
Jim, I love these tourney recaps. You're very good at building the tension and making me actually go "OHH it's a Swords Dance Celebi!" aloud. Keep it up Jim, you're insane.
Oh I know how alright
Ok. Cheers.
OK
🆗

@@chess you really like this channel, huh?
It's checkmate.
Really like this kind of video! I miss smogon tournaments because I don't know how to watch them but these feels like I get some of the action along with analysis
That’s insane folks
This was a great tournament! I had a lot of fun watching the wacky out-the-box thinking. Looking forward to the gen 5 jimvitational.
Game 3 - Set 2 was so hype to watch in this, what an incredible match all around but especially that game
You did a good narration of this, was a nice watch
I‘m so ready for ADV Revival II also this video was amazing I might actually finally understand gen 3 ou someday if you keep this up
They said he was slaking off, when merely he was being filled with vigour
That first clip of a Machop OHKOing a Slaking is actually insane. It's perfect for showcasing its weakness. Also a great transition into it.

These games were so fun to watch because of all the wild teams by ABR, massive respect for doing this in such a big tourney.
I've been finding some success in Gen 9 Doubles UU and OU using slaking.
Slayking slayed
My favorite part was when Slaking said "It's slaking time" and slaked all over them
It feels like anytime someone brings weird pokemon to a tournament final its always abr
So sick to see a main channel vid about this grands, it was so hype
I think Slaking used to be OU near the start of Gen 3. So it surprises me more that he would be considered bad now than it would surprise me if he were considered to he decent.
Slaking slacked over the competition, that was insane, despite Slaking being a lazy lad
I lost to a Slaking one hour ago. I think it's because someone watched this video and decided they can kill my offensive Zapdos, and any similar Pokemon with it.
Enemy Pokémon: Haha! You can only attack every other turn.
Slaking : There are only 6 of you, and I only need one turn to KO one of you.
Why would Slaking need money. What will he do with it
Gambling
If big monkey can do well in Melee, than big sloth can do well in the Melee of pokemon
11:10 I was horrified for a second I thought I heard you say “Smeargle uses dragon dance, and then explodes”.
slaking has always been an underrated adv mon imo, its a very scary mon to face against a top tier player
I knew he could do it🎉
This tournament was so hype to watch especially that finals set
Slaking with motivation is the scariest Gen 3 Uber
Very cool competitive match analysis Mr Cool 👍
This king was no slack!
While many think that Slaking is simply wasting turns with Truant, he is actually asking the Crystal Coconut for guidance, as taught to him by his elder Cranky Kong.
Saying the subs are laughing at the non subs is the funniest way to tell people to sub. Stay based Jimothy ❤
Look I know people are laughing at me, and I have learnt to accept it
what?
petrifiedkamen his little intro at the start talking about people laughing at you
It's ok. Accepting is the first step towards change.
I don't really care about myself but that Magcargo there is some one i can believe in.
That Machop protect right at the start is brutal.
people were really slacking on slaking huh
The SlaKING of gen 3 OU
Hey I didn't know there were money tournaments on show down. Where do I go to find out more about the money tournaments?
people are starting to realize that slaking isn't monkeying around
Slaking and gengar will always remain my fav
Question for Jim & Readers:

Well, Slaking has King in his name for a reason
What about Seaking 🥹
I'd love more bkc-esque competitive match analysis
Gen 3 ou really is the edison of pokémon
YGO enjoyer! bet you enjoy the sadlysius nicknames from time to time
This is truly groundbreaking, folks. Insane even. But every sloth has its day.
ABR's Blue sprite with the levitating Pokeballs has WAY too much aura.
Slaking is slaking his thirst for victory
5:24 did he say donphan is well defensively into Gyrados?
Yes, no physical water moves in gen 3
Personally, I notice the 'king' in every slaking.
This is insane
Well, it certainly wasn't Slaking. I'll get my coat.
That thumbnail reminds me a hell of a lot of Scissor Seven
Bluesenergy00 must be a proud father
I hope Slaking does not use the questionable firm, Gholdengo investments
Could we perhaps get an interview with Slaking?
i'm not informed enough in the Gen3ou tier it seems.
why is there an Unown in the team at 3:30, how is this pokemon a viable choice ?
The pokemon was never revealed so it is Unown what it was.
Why is unkniwn considered standard in gen 3? The pokemon with 1 move? Why!?
Placeholder for mons that weren't revealed
@@o-poppoo5117 omg thank you that makes so much more sense
Extremely standard bro
Slaking's money got different
Slaking is the king.
What an insane story.
Wait so there was only one game out of all of them where a weird team beat a standard one
It's so sad that slaking has such a horrible gambling addiction
Genius.
theres any paste of the team? np if not was just curious to try out
standard saturday slacking success
Slaking is a Pokémon of all time
No matter how you shake it, you can’t beat the King.
You can still play with Slaking in the same way in gen 9 except it keeps up with power creep by running choice banded tera normal double edges 😎
Best "please subscribe" joke
Hahaha i cant even believe 'x' amount of people arent subbed to Jim! 😂🤣
Slaking's ability is affected by Skill Swap. So in Double Battles Slaking is extremely powerful.
Very happy the wacky nonsense won
Wacky nonsense is best timeline
Folks, this is getting out of hand. OLD MONEY has made a fortune by TRICKing gamblers at the MAUVILLE CITY CASINO, who did not believe in SLAKING, out of their hard earned Poke$$$. Absolutely insane.
"a much more standard team"
bruh did you see the unown
Slaking be Working
how old is abr?
That cool how slacking did that
