Furret is the #1 Pokemon in the format, however its weakness to Furret's common fighting type coverage makes it the weakest viable Pokemon in the format.
The issue with furret is that is speed ties with furret, the biggest threat in the tier. This means that the eventual furret v furret matchup becomes a toss up. You’re better off running furret, who at least with max Evs can speed tie enemy furret.
@@atomichippy2 honestly, I'm surprised that Muk doesn't have another variant yet. Meowth has three different ones, yet there's only one for Muk that's arguably better than those three.
Kingambit's reliance on Sucker Punch to overcome its speed is also a notable weakness I'd argue - metagame adaptations such as faster Will-o-Wisp, Encore, Iron Defense/Bulk Up and priority users becoming more common have allowed for teams to have more outs vs Kingambit than just Zamazenta and Great Tusk as mentioned
It would seem Iron Mugulis has tricked the morally dubious disk back onto our beloved Poke-RUclipsr, Jimothy Cool. This time though, I doubt we have much recourse other than to subscribe to prevent further harm to innocent pokemon
The same guy will run flamethrower over fireblast because fireblast will lose you more games than if you'd just get good with using flamethrower. What amuses me is how shocked people are that bolt/beam is good, and that blissey is good, especially when the "good" they're talking about is "consistently good over thousands of games for their purpose." Fireblast will let you down if you just get better securing KO's with flamethrower.
I'd argue that in the long run, fire blast will out perform flamethrower because it can take KOs sooner. Less turns of opponents being able to use their mons outweighs missing 15% of the time, in my opinion. That said, in a tournament setting where the number of games is limited, the safety of flamethrower is probably preferable.
it's interesting to me how many of these #1 mons were introduced the gen before, at least until gen 7. gen 2's number 1 is a gen 1 mon, gen 3's number 1 is a gen 2 mon, gen 4's number 1 is a gen 3 mon, gen 6's number 1 is a gen 5 mon. demonstrates how the context of the meta as a whole matters with regards to those mons hitting their full potential. every #1 after that point was introduced same gen, which i guess you could say is indicative of the series' power creep really taking off
Yes and no. If you're considering the non box legendaries as candidates for OU, then Gen 3's best would be the Latis and Deo-A, Gen 4's would be Garchomp, Shaymin-S, Darkrai, or Manaphy, Gen 5's would be Genesect probably, and Gen 6 has the monstrosities that are Aegislash, Mega Mence, Mega Kang, Mega Luke, and Mega Gar. So they're only not number 1 because they're super banned *due* to power creep.
I think its worth mentioning that Excadrill and Clef's S+ status in ORAS is mainly because the power level in that gen is skewed towards the megas, and Megas naturally are penalised for their opportunity cost. They're mainly the top mons because they're just so slappable rather than actually meta defining, although Clef could be argued to be somewhat meta defining. I think it would have been worth it to review the top mega, Lopunny, who's a pretty interesting mon in her own right. Getting a massive speed tier, bypassing Ghost immunities, and using fake out to circumvent ORAS' mega speed mechanic/bug, while also having a lot of common mons it completely thuds into, or needs specialised coverage to threaten. Even mons it should theoretically match up well into like Heatran and Ferro often run protect which makes using its main fighting stab risky, especially considering its limited recovery options (HJK sets typically don't run Drain Punch which is its only source of recovery)
I think Snorlax's speed is it's most exploitable weakness. Consider the other main special wall Raikou. If you get it in play it can heal against almost anything at any percent because of how fast it is while Snorlax usually needs to take a hit when it wants to heal because it's slower then everything. A Snorlax that has low HP is a very vulnerable pokemon that cannot handle what it is meant to.
if slugma were pushed off the cliff and it evolved mid-fall to a magcargo, it would ascend to a higher plane of existence and grow wings; from horse council member to a mythical unicorn messiah.
President of the Buzzwole Lobby speaking here. You know the drill, Sir Jimothy. If our beloved bug is suggested to even harbor a singular flaw, then the OU tier will receive a blanket ban on attacking moves of all kinds, causing the tier to descend into the dark ages as stall becomes the only playstyle option. Thank you.
The only thing keeping GSC Snorlax from being the most obvious ban to Ubers of all time is its speed imo. It's by far the best Pokémon in any OU tier, but at very least it's almost always either moving second or getting phazed out, which means there's plenty of room to play around it on a game-to-game basis.

calling great tusk a counter to kingambit is a tad generous lol, it's a check and the difference is significant. tusk isn't a blanket wall to gambit, it has no healing and doesn't resist iron head so it has to preserve hp to even have a chance, and trying to check it offensively often won't work since gambit will often tera in endgames. tusk has a positive matchup, and obviously gambit can't switch into tusk, but gambit can quite easily win the 1v1 over the course of a game
@@xendra333 i'd still call zama a check, without recovery it's never gonna be a permanent foolproof solution. the only "counter" i could think of would be physically defensive quaquaval with roost but even that struggles if gambit clicks tera
I'm on the Snorlax > Tauros camp for Gen 1 and my main reason in Tauros's frailty. Yeah Tauros is a great late game sweeper but Snorlax and Chansey contributes much more for most of the game to setup a Tauros sweep. I think the setup (Snorlax) should be more valued over the payoff (Tauros). Also despite Tauros being "the best" there's a lot of matchups where it's hard to switch him into. It's risky to switch Tauros into any paralyzer or sleeper, or take any chip damage, because then you lose the Tauros mirror. In comparison Snorlax can be switched into almost anything, doesn't care much about paralysis and chip damage due to solid defenses and the option to Rest, has a lot more moveset options, and can counter Tauros easily by running Reflect. Similar to Tauros, Snorlax also has STAB Body Slam which can spread paralysis, however Snorlax is more reliable as paralyzer due to the reasons of being able to bring out Snorlax more than Tauros. Snorlax just does a lot more including things Tauros does aside from being a late game sweeper. I feel like the Tauros > Snorlax argument is based on hype due to Tauros being the win con, while the setup that Snorlax (and Chansey) for most of the game is ignored because it's not flashy. Snorlax and Chansey are the hardworking employees while Tauros is the rich CEO profitting off his employees.
I find it funny that you went from silly, funny ideas for your “please subscribe” disclaimer to just straight up threatening physical harm against pokemon 🤣
Jimothy, please. This dark turn for subscribers is alarming. Threatining violence on defenceless pokemon is certainly not gaming. I wonder if notorious pokemon fellon Iron Fellow has anything to do with this insane turn of events.
Just the fact that you often really want to preserve tauros’s health for the mirror match can make it really risky to try and use it in mid game scenarios
I appreciate our understanding of the game only grows with time, and I haven't played Gen 1 OU in quite a while now, but back during the RBY 2k10 revival and the years after, I've always contended that Eggy is the best gen 1 Pokémon. Tauros has the glamorous job of cleaning up games, but Eggy cracks games wide open and is so versatile.
I'm glad Cofagrigus is doing so well in Gen 6. I took quick notice myself that it would be really strong in a metagame with physical attackers that often rely on their abilities, such as Lopunny, Mawile, and Talonflame lmao. It's biggest weakness for sure was no reliable recovery.
As a Gen 3 player I find that TTar itself is rarely the piece that wins me the game. Its main attribute is permasand but you dont need to bring it for that if your opponent does. Even after a dance it gets revenge killed easily by Aerodactyl and Dugtrio because it's slow and its 6 weaknesses are all over the place. I tend to find other options more appealing personally, so I rarely run it.
I think it’s interesting that many of the best Pokémon are from the generation right before the current one. Ttar from gen 2, Jirachi from gen 3, and Excadrill from gen 5.
i think kingambit relies a lot on tera and you mention that for great tusk, but valiant is also very common and takes no damage from sucker so youre really forced to hold onto that resource if you run into that matchup. for gen 9 atm i feel that zama is the most oppressive personally just because gambit forces you to get sucker/tera plays right whereas zama feels like it only has to find the field at the right time
Im increasingly worried for jimothy's wellbeing, he's been threatening several of our dearest pokemon with death for a few videos now. Is Iron Mugulis behind this recent development??? More at 11
one more way tauros benefits in its games of origin: if tauros was released any generation other than gen 1, it definitely wouldn't be able to learn fire blast/thunder/blizzard. i still have no idea why it learns all 3 of those in the first place when so many gen 1 pokemon just get normal moves
6:13 calling the #1 Gen 3 OU player weird for saying Blissey is the best in Gen 3 is wild. (the best player in Gen 3 OU ranked says Blissey is the best.)
I never thought I'd see the day you purposefully put the life of a fellow soon-to-be horse in danger to further your capitalist interests. I expect a formally written apology within the next 7 business days.
With the power of friendship, pokemon can overcome any of their individual flaws! With six pokemon in the team. we'll never lose! (just don't get frozen or flinched)
If Gen 2 Snorlax was so dominant and centralizing why wasn’t it banned and sent to Ubers? Was the competitive community just far less ban happy back then compared to today? Or was Gen 2 Snorlax less of a terror than Gen 4 Garchomp?
Both. Gen 2 Snorlax is very manageable. To deal with it you have: -Roar/Whirlwind to stop it from setting up -Rock/Steel Types to wall it -Ghost types to come in and mess with it -Your own Snorlax -Explosion -Fighting types, particularly Machamp It's the best mon for sure but it never feels overpowered within the meta itself, at least as far as I've played
Something about Gen 1 Tauros is if you break its legs aka paralysis it's managable, but good luck I don't think many good players will let it get into that position
From my understanding, it's because while it's centralizing, it's not overwhelming. Snorlax can do a lot of different things, but it can only run four moves
