No, Smeargle always should run miracle berry, that was just... A superior gamer.

[@elwero8525]

i don't know why but jim saying hp water on that first match made me laugh more than it should have

[@chess_fella]

Gen 2, one of the 3 great Pokémon generations

[@cyburger7257]

I love seeing the goofy early gen sprites, fantastic showcase of them Mr. Cool 👍

[@lukefitzpatrick398]

can't believe my man didn't consider hp water what a scrub

[@tibeerius3656]

I've always been interested in gen 2 but never get around to trying it out, looking forwards to seeing you play!

[@mattrusso64]

Pls keep up the gen 2 content! The sprites in this game are so nice to look at

[@dylanmerrick9325]

Loving the old gen gameplay Jim, very cool!

But are you really a true gamer if you don't go for high-risk low-reward plays?

[@Mr5pokemon]

That second match was dumb luck on both your sides him getting the crit and then him also missing the thunder during the most important moment pretty crazy

[@jimothycool]

The universe corrects itself

[@TheSprinkler]

Don't feel too bad donphan owns everyone

[@archivelibrarian6818]

27:11 would anyone happen to know the song that starts playing in the background here? Jimothy please I need this

[@LunarDuskSSBM]

it's SNES Donut Plain 3 from Mario Kart 8

[@themaincharactertm]

gengar switch on jynx,,, they are not scared of psychic huh

[@danceofhearts677]

Ok so...
Smeargle does not always run miracle berry, because of that exact scenario. We saw a fair few run prz cure berry last gsc invitational but miracle berry is the standard and on ladder thief is the right play, because none of the very good ladder players run bp and thus none of the smeargle used are being used by good players V good players so the tech doesn't work like it does in tourney.

[@danceofhearts677]

In your game V uncle eyeroll:
-tar often does run eq
-eyeroll has a reputation for nutty teams and techs so you will usually see some jank stuff like the donphan. Donphan is pretty garbo in general though so it staying in when it did wasnt too surprising. It is not very valuable to winning that game so it can take a chunk for a trade.
-that was hp electric on the cloy, only rarely will you see hp grass on eggy.

[@danceofhearts677]

Is this level of feedback helpful or too critical? Also I look forward to seeing what team you build, and will happily provide feedback on that if you so desire

[@jimothycool]

@@danceofhearts677 this is helpful Thankyou very much!

[@melikmourali2072]
