    But which of them will rise to the top in Competitive Singles? Let's find out games.
    Will he see it?

    Some will never figure out how to get Ho-Oh in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Ho-Oh Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Ho-Oh Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.
    Arceus exists.
    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.

    Forgot Necrozma Dusk Mane. Though it has the same typing as Solgaleo, it's stats, movepool and ability are significantly better. Should be quite good.
    Also forgot Kyurem Black and White. They'll probably end up in Ubers UU

    Kyurem will lose Roost, unless it comes back as a TM in the DLC. Kyurem had access to Roost via TM in gen 7, so it's a transfer move. So just like Gliscor, who also lost roost.
    Without recovery, I think Kyurem will be less annoying and should be fine to start in OU. Could eventually get banned with just the specs set but only time will tell.

    Solgaleo will likely retain Teleport when coming to gen 9, purely because its one of the only moves that Cosmog learns. I don't think Gamefreak will go out of their way to to axe one of the 2 moves from the little puff cloud's moveset, which works to Solgaleo's benefit.

    Latias as a Calm Mind sweeper was one of my standbye favorite mons in Gen 8 OU, alongside Corvioknight and Gliscor for a core of bulky pokemon with roost and stat boosting moves.
    I just used normal attacking moves- I think Psychic and Aura Sphere, but it might've been Dragon Pulse instead of Psychic, rather than Stored Power to force reliance on Calm Mind. It was important to sometimes just be able to hit them without a boost, if you needed to apply pressure.

Zekrom also has Scale Shot and Hone Claws, which will boost its accuracy and guarantee Scale Shot and Bolt Strike to hit, and let me tell you, no one is interested on eating a +1 Terrain Boosted Bolt Strike. Yeah ground types are immune, but then u give Zekrom the chance to go for a likely Loaded Dice Scale Shot with perfect accuracy

    Good vid Jimothy, some mons that you forgot to talk about were Necrozma Dusk Mane and Necrozma Dawn Wings. Dusk Mane was a Top 3 mon in usage last generation and I’m sure that it will have another successful generation. Dawn Wings I’m not as sure about in the Ubers format, but it has always found some levels of success in restricted formats of VGC. Even base Necrozma can find some success in the RU tier, where I’m predicting it to end up.

Would be a great bulky attacker with that meaty attack stat and nice bulk, it's not that fast, and gets checked by kingambit and dragapult. Would be fun to see.

    Not speaking from experience but just knowledge I've learned from videos, but personally I think Ho-Oh is only going to be as good as the checks to Miraidon are, since electric is its biggest most prevalent weakness (other than stealth rock) and Miraidon has among the strongest electric stabs in the game. Even if you tera to ground for the immunity, that's not a winning situation using a defensive tera on a non-offensive pokemon in ubers.

      Tbh i feel like the entire speed tier needs to be kneecapped especially with Pokémon with over 550 base stats. It’s genuinely gotten to a point where base 100 isn’t good enough and it doesn’t help that many newer Pokémon are minmaxed to hell with few drawbacks on top of the battle gimmicks pushing things over the edge (with dynamax being the most degenerate out of the bunch but terra is also a bit much because of its stab boost).

    To be honest, I think you're overhyping Ho oh a bit and I don't blame you. I did that too. It might check scarf Koraidon but the bike will just switch gears to swords dance. When that happens, Ho oh just dies to scale shot. Zacian can also go tera water and Ho oh just dies. I also thought that Ho oh would hard counter FUcker Mane but guess what, that thing gets power gem
    I do disagree that Zekrom would be bad. I think it has potential. If it keeps scale shot, it might go dragon dance loaded dice scale shot and be a powerful sweeper, outspeeding even Mane at +2
    I'm surprised you didn't mention Necrozma. I think Dusk Mane Necrozma will be one of the most influential pokemon because without tera, it completely shuts down Zacian, as long as it carries eq and goes physically defensive that is. Both it and Ho oh will also completely shut down Arceus fairy, which I like because the more miserable fairy types are the better. Without Xerneas to bully, I think it might even go physically defensive

    • @Dragostorm21
      @Dragostorm21 9 месяцев назад

      Tera water/fairy hooh tho (it doesn't beat the scale shot without Tera fairy but ho-oh is unbreakable if you are hitting it with non 4x super effective special moves).
      Necrozma dusk mane is probably the biggest addition as it always has been, even if it doesn't necessarily match up the best vs koraidon/miraidon
