i miss ferrothorn so much every time i play gen 9 and that little shit ogerpon wellspring comes out i close my eyes and think of my beautiful thorny friend
I enjoy competitive pokemon as a hobby that if I had a different childhood (not been introduced to League of Legends by my cousin at age 8) I would engage with intimately but instead I consume what I do second hand through content like yours. My favourite archetype of pokemon has always been bulky grass and I'm travelling 7 hours by transit home to see family today. So, almost unironically "YIPPEE"d when I opened my youtube homepage to this.
Bulky grass is a super cool archetype cause you usually see casual people saying Grass isn't good as a type, but its role in competitive metagames is one of my favourites
Grass feels like what Rock was originally designed (and functioned in gen 1) to be (complementing each other very well at that), even without its more gimmicky traits added in later gens like powder immunity. Tons of weaknesses but very crucial rare resistances that threaten those among the most powerful types in the game (Ground/Water) in return.
I don't really play mons Im more of just. A lurker who enjoys the sometimes incoherent tangents of a madman movie director but the most I've played was USUM ou in 2019 and man THERE AINT NO WALL like AV tangrowth. If no one else got me, growth got me.
Hearing BKC mention AV on Serperior brings me back. Everyone always told me immediately after ORAS came out that AV Serp was awful, but I consistently put in work with it. Leaf Storm, Giga Drain for recovery and a second stab, HP Fire for steels, and Dragon Pulse for the Latis. Only big issue is Heatran
Praise the eternal Rocky Helmet Tangrowth, destroyer of broken Mega Metagross, Worry Seeder of SD Gliscor...cinema
So proud of Bulky Grasses overcoming the immense priviledge of water types to establish themselves in their own right
Gen 9 OU really does be missing Tangrowth and Ferrothorn this time around, between Waterpon, Defensive Grounds, Bolt, Sleep Power/Spore, etc.

Cool but we want to know more about DPP tiering drama though
Kartana having more physical bulk than some rock types is funny to me
I can't believe bkc had to be rebooted on camera
it’s Tangrowth Tuesday
Rule of thumb: never skip the bathroom breaks 😤👌

The thing about Shaymin Sky in DPP OU was "Yes, this is frail. It's weak to a lot of common types and is weak to Stealth Rock.

Biblically accurate BKC there at the end... was he speaking the language of the gods?
The return of hour long history of videos, beautiful.

Kartana is a bulky Grass, right? It has almost as much physical bulk as Ferrothorn.
