So uhhh Tapu Koko didn't make it back with the cigs. On December 13, 2023, Tapu Koko got in a car accident on Melemele Island Route 3, suffering from spinal injury and a spiral fracture in the left arm. He is currently in the Hau'oli Red Cross Hospital. Prayers go out to his immediate family; his wife, Tapu Lele, his siblings Bulu and Fini, and his son, Pincurchin. His acquaintances, though too many to name, have also been devestated at this news. May God be with the Surge family in this difficult time in their life.
I have returned to this video to weep. Pincurchin was denied rising voltage in the Teal Mask. Father Freak's favorite son Rillaboom gets grassy glide back, but this beautiful spiky child is shafted. Why must Pokémon hurt me so?
Considering theres no mention of Iron Leaves this video was dated before it was even released because Gamefreak randomly decided to reveal and release 2 new Pokemon
at 5:47, I thought you were making a Samurai Jack "I knew that you knew that I knew" reference, making me feel more than ever like you've hijacked my brain.
I just call them things like Robo Hydreigon or Robo Tyranitar like how Yo-Kai Watch made robot variants of several fan favorite Yo-Kai and just added Robo to the name. It's easier to remember anyway. Funny how Kingambit is supposed to be a chess based monster but the priority mind games are really just Rock-Paper-Scissors.

The first time I saw the secret trickroom video you posted I was confused why pincurchin was ZU, since its stats didn't look that bad. Then I checked again and realized that it had 48 hp. I guess I just assumed it had base 100 or something to match the Mythical Pokemon status it clearly deserves
Somehow being reminded that Pincurchin's cute little self doesn't get Volt Switch is still less disappointing than how Iron Jugulis and now Iron Leaves feel.
I like that you shoot the shit in your videos with vague thoughts on the pokemon themselves instead of just explaining what happens every turn, it’s refreshing and interesting insightful thoughts on mons that doesn’t take 40 minutes to get into.
Top 5 Reasons to still use pincurchin once Tapu Koko wins his appeal in family court and gets to see the kids on weekends again: 1. The pointys 2. The mouth 3. The befuddlement of ur opponents as they’ll have no idea what the hell pincurchin even does 4. The superior name 5. Sex Appeal factor
i like your youtube videos not just for the good gameplay, but also for the dry, sarcastic, squidward level energy you resonate. It makes it sound like you are done with smogon singles pokemon which is quite the mood imo.
I’ve been running E-Terrain teams since Gen 7 with Alolan Raichu. It was pretty decent, actually, kept me floating in the 1700’s. I’m glad more people are using it. Can’t wait for Koko to come back.
I’ll have you know that when I saw this video in my feed, I audibly said “Hoh!” Like a rich old woman who just saw the most exciting croquet game of her life
Pincurchin is my favourite Pokemon of all time, and I'm so sad I only saw this video now. Thank you so much Reverend, you understand me like no one else.
They literally added an entire class of special Pokemon that benefit specifically from electric terrain, why would they have forgotten about the main way people set it?
Funnily enough, I made a gundam themed set with pincurchin and iron valiant with booster energy and mementod in iron valiant with quark speed up, used swords dance and when the terrain expired it would change to quark attack up. It was pretty funny
Ah cool, I'm part of the recent subscriber wave from the essay vids but I ended up getting really into the highlight videos. Figured there was a real chance you'd stop doing these just as I got into them, so glad that's not the case.
I think this is the second time you've uploaded a Showdown video immediately after I watched some of your old Showdown videos. It's like you're some kind of quantum content creator who only posts while being perceived... or something. Congrats on 15k btw. Here's to even bigger number~
Love your channel and I’ve binge watched all your videos in the last week or so. I’m just pissed because it’s yet another channel I cannot possibly show to another living breathing human being, lest they think I’m a weirdo.
I've basically only been running Electric Terrain teams in OU since Gen 9 started, they're really fun. If they don't have any flying immunity, Choice Band Tera Ground EQ from Treads can just win you the game. On my current team, I run an almost max speed Iron Hands. I was sick of getting burned by Rotom so this outspeeds it and OHKOs it with T-punch in terrain at +2 from Swords Dance. It also outspeeds Great Tusk without speed investment or Dragapult after it's been paralyzed by Pincurchin or Nuzzle Hatterene. Sure having to use Pincurchin instead of Koko means you're basically starting the game 5-6, but it's totally worth it imo. I just really wish Game Freak let it keep Rising Voltage as an exclusive move, or at the very least let it have a slow Volt Switch
Max speed iron hands sounds so fun. I tried using it with lum berry for rotom and skeledirge but I really missed the leftovers / boots. I want to use iron moth more too, agility can steal games. Super fun little archetype overall
It's a damn shame that pincurchin wasn't allowed to keep rising voltage, when torkoal's still out here clicking euption all willy nilly. They really did the future mons dirty in comparison to the past mons.
is showdown still not having models for the vast majority of OU/Uber SV pokes the reason you stopped playing OU or making videos or being my dad (i know it isnt)
Thought I could finally move on from stealing Rev's gen 8 teams to stealing Rev's gen 9 teams, but it's turns out I've been outplayed and Rev stole it first...
I saw that sneaky krabby he can't hide from me, I know you're back there Really happy dragonite is spending some time in the limelight again, he's just a fat goofy boy let him play
Iron Jugs is just the IPhone version of Hydreigon where it gets smaller and worse over time and therefore its beautiful and It deserves happiness anyways give Iron Moth Quiver Dance gamefuck please.
I do think it's very funny that if you go down a tier to UU, the least outstanding of the future mons, Iron Thorns and Jugulis are all you're left with, but they are actually pretty good down there. Jugulis suffers from its juiciest button being Hurricane, since you're counting on a lot of 70s over the course of just a handful of games, but Life Orb or Specs with a speedboost are something that does not have a lot of answers. Iron Thorns is a lot of fun to use, even thought it's just like, kinda decent, but it definitely feels a lot weirder to use since T-Tar original fell to UU. The best part of running electric terrain in UU is definitely Hawlucha tho. The other two do... something most of the time, I guess, but Hawlucha wins games basically on its own way more than it should.
I can't believe pokeaim got high enough to post a replay vid on his second channel again.
no that must be wolfey, he plays meme singles when drunk
Pokeaim would never he’s too busy making people think slaking is a useable Pokémon

“I have to kowtow cleave the nasty plot. If I dont outsmart a 12 year old what’s the fucking point” I’ve never laughed harder at an ou video before
I have returned to this video to weep. Pincurchin was denied rising voltage in the Teal Mask. Father Freak's favorite son Rillaboom gets grassy glide back, but this beautiful spiky child is shafted. Why must Pokémon hurt me so?
Rising voltage has returned on Raging Bolt, as if he needed more electric moves
Quarked up white boy battling it down paradox style
quirked up spiky purple boy
Is he goated with the sweeps?
Petition for reverend to upload more, on the punishement that no one ever types reverend with one hand ever anymore.
i add one vote
i too would like to sign the petition
Signed
who the hell uses their left hand to type n
@@ILiekFishes I dunno reverend said you could type that with one hand. It seems to be a big deal to him.
no way koko wouldn’t get banned in the meta, pincurchin is OUR terrain setter
the few hours of ou when koko is legal will be absolutely HILARIOUS
Considering theres no mention of Iron Leaves this video was dated before it was even released because Gamefreak randomly decided to reveal and release 2 new Pokemon
Yuuup
“Tapu Koko is out buying cigarettes”
This type of stuff is the reason why I watch for your uploads like a hawk
at 5:47, I thought you were making a Samurai Jack "I knew that you knew that I knew" reference, making me feel more than ever like you've hijacked my brain.
Great video, Reverend. I think your friends and family value your content over seeing you in person.
I just call them things like Robo Hydreigon or Robo Tyranitar like how Yo-Kai Watch made robot variants of several fan favorite Yo-Kai and just added Robo to the name. It's easier to remember anyway.

I _refuse_ to call the paradox mons by their names
Iron treads is an item, great tusk is an ability, and iron thorns is what some ppl call ferrothorn
@@mario-nk7be yeah I agree the names they have is pretty retarded
9:54 for the most awesome Krabby easter egg on RUclips
I'm quarked up watching this new reverend video, booster energy in hand
Quark Kent!
That's why they call me "Quark Drive:Speed". I always finish first

Doesn’t get Spiky Shield either.
Despite being covered in Spikes >:/
7:19 Can't believe Reverend let his beta gamer instincts take over and said "h.o." instead of "cho"
11:24
Massive respect for this line
I like that you shoot the shit in your videos with vague thoughts on the pokemon themselves instead of just explaining what happens every turn, it’s refreshing and interesting insightful thoughts on mons that doesn’t take 40 minutes to get into.
new reverend video, let's go
i was going mad rewatching the old showdown vids, good to finally have a new one
Top 5 Reasons to still use pincurchin once Tapu Koko wins his appeal in family court and gets to see the kids on weekends again:
1. The pointys
2. The mouth
3. The befuddlement of ur opponents as they’ll have no idea what the hell pincurchin even does
4. The superior name
5. Sex Appeal factor
6. I have a shiny one
@@moonjelly5 Hell yeah shiny bros
koko is also gonna get banned
1-4 are excellent but really 5 alone is reason enough
Love the callback to the dingus lightning round music to the discussion of the electrifying pincurrchin. A reverend classic 🙌🏼
I don’t play OU because reasons but you’re like the only Showdown youtuber I get entertained by, keep making these
i like your youtube videos not just for the good gameplay, but also for the dry, sarcastic, squidward level energy you resonate. It makes it sound like you are done with smogon singles pokemon which is quite the mood imo.
Comforting knowing that the exact same number of mons have their models in showdown now as they did at time of upload
9:54 I see that lil guy in the background
I’ve been running E-Terrain teams since Gen 7 with Alolan Raichu. It was pretty decent, actually, kept me floating in the 1700’s. I’m glad more people are using it. Can’t wait for Koko to come back.
Oh god no not koko
you're gonna be waiting for a while (no koko in indigo disk)
really glad to see the replays aren't going away, your channel is the only one i actually still watch the replay videos of

Me when a delectable new reverend video releases(I must put my life on hold to watch this breathtaking piece of cinema)
Pincurchin is my favourite Pokemon of all time, and I'm so sad I only saw this video now. Thank you so much Reverend, you understand me like no one else.
shoutout to my boy iron jugulis running that specs + speed quark set truly the mvp
this is a top tier video, only downside is that i dont get to look at pincurchin nearly enough
with pyukumuku dexited, pincurchin must carry the torch of its fallen Funny Little Round Guy brethren
Funny Little Round Guy pokemon have the mandate of heaven. no I will not elaborate
I would say we still have Snom, but that dude has the nerve to go and evolve.
My favorite Reverend quote is “brain genius.”
Your replay videos all go so hard please post more.
it is not impossible that they meant to remove this ability entirely but just completely forgot about pinny boi
It’d be super rough to remove Electric Surge but not Drought
They literally added an entire class of special Pokemon that benefit specifically from electric terrain, why would they have forgotten about the main way people set it?
@@hoodedman6579 the move still exists, I’m just making a joke about how dumb and shitty Pinurchin is
Because KoKo is still buying cigarettes
Inspired me to build my own electric terrain team, truly a masterpiece
I'm fucking addicted to super specs iron moth.
Coming back to this video I love the commentary it's really funny
i just want you to know that I consider your content good enough for me to eat this entire king size sleeve of Reese's Cups to.
I'm so ready for the return of the reveleki when home releases
I really miss these types of videos from you. Keep it up
i have never played sv ou but this is actually really entertaining
The “angry chair” nickname is epic. That’s one of the only songs Layne wrote actually
Thanks for the video Reverend! I was high as can be so I thought this was just a dream and I passed to the other realm, glad to see it’s not.
Just using the move electric terrain is so real, I love having a worse rotom-w just so my treads can be marginally better than great tusk
Top tier comment
That isolation comment hit too close to home. It nuked my home actually and now I can’t isolate myself at home. 💀
“Memento as a momentum move, though” is fucking BARS 🔥
this dude used a heathcliff comic
Literally stopped what I was doing to watch this banger. All hail Pincurchin.
Pincurchin is so awesome I love little guy Pokémon
I also love this little dude
Pokémon
Funnily enough, I made a gundam themed set with pincurchin and iron valiant with booster energy and mementod in iron valiant with quark speed up, used swords dance and when the terrain expired it would change to quark attack up. It was pretty funny

Did anyone have any doubts that Reverend was the protagonist all along?

theres something so tantalizingly homosexual about these games that keeps me on the edge of my seat

What's up with the Krabby at 9:53?
There's an easter egg Krabby in all of his videos
Macglimora ft. Ryan Lewis
Quarked up 'tuber with a little bit of terrain busts it down HO style.. is he goated with the sauce?
Spoiler: Yes. Yes he is
I typed this comment before even watching the video this cannot be possible
your commentary is 11/10
so happy to hear 3ds eshop music
Thought I could finally move on from stealing Rev's gen 8 teams to stealing Rev's gen 9 teams, but it's turns out I've been outplayed and Rev stole it first...
Welcome back, king!
