Cloyster's Competitive Capabilities [ADV OU]

[@Bunnelbee3]

Kinda unrelated but explosion is such an insane move for a trainer to use in battle in the actual verse 😄

[@geenoix2357]

It's fine, they'll live. Always do. I heard Golem uses Explosion to blast jump

[@EclipseonPMD]

No brainless Shell Smash? It must be terrible. Amazing video. We need more great ADV analysis videos like these.

[@LRXC1]

I really love these videos! There's a special balance of not over edited, and not trying to act like you know more than you really do! It's very genuine. One suggestion is I think it would be nice if you talked a bit more DURING the replay, like maybe watched it by yourself many times to then be able to add more insight, the video REALLY crawls at that point! Other than that, great stuff man, excited to see what other ADV videos you make!

[@SFTMKW]

to elaborate on oldgen tiering decisions to clear up confusion - except in cases like newly developing lower tiers like RBY PU and ZU and such, usage-based tiering is frozen after the end of a generation because oldgen playerbases are generally too small outside of OU for ladder-based usage stats to make a lot of sense - and also, iirc, Generation 3 didn't really have usage-based tiering figured out when it was current and tiers were just picked out manually instead. Cool resource!

[@Ruanzizitos]

nice video, is good make and a like the tumb

[@joshuadrinkwater4391]

Jimothy cool made a community post about you btw

[@funkymachine]

This is a wonderful video, but personally I never go beyond 205ish to speed creep most metagross and unboosted ddtar. This still ofc let's you beat claydol speed which is essential and the only tars who are that fast are mixtar or dding anyway. This kind of informational video of in depth analysis (and actual scripting) is lacking from KZbin for gen 3 and we would love more of these in this world.

[@ryankeathley995]

205 does not creep dd tar, which is the most important set since you probably want to boom on it to deny setup

[@funkymachine]

@@ryankeathley995 bulky ddtar, the like who go to 200-203 alot. This also creeps milo for the boom

[@ryankeathley995]

so lose to jolly, the most common and best ddtar. got it

[@funkymachine]

@@ryankeathley995 jolly is most definitely not the most common ddtar :eyes:

[@GabrielStarkey-Simpson]

you deserve more subs honestly, even if you don't have that much experience your video format is great and flows really well!

[@user-hb7bo4mr2i]

1:26 ngl this diagram cracked me up

[@Slender3005]

I was literally thinking about how Cloyster just doesn't get talked about enough in ADV OU the other day.... and like magic a fantastic video pops up in my recommended! Please make more videos like this, I'd love to see more from you!

[@fahad468]

Great content, looking forward to more videos on ADV!

[@Raymanlegacy]

i think u should continue making these adv videos they are really fun to watch!

[@carpfisher46]

I don’t play adv ou but this video is really cool, always really liked cloyster

[@kazamino]

the first adv team i made by myself used cloyster, jolteon, gengar, moltres and metagross. seriously funny to see them all suggested to be together.

[@luckasneo2089]

great video, keep this up and you'll get a good following.

[@dracozeon_]

I really hope you make more adv videos

[@Bunkgungle]

PLEASE make a video about big hot men 2

[@santasangre996]

1:32 this image made me laugh

[@karpaItunnel]

I don't like ADV Cloyster but i like what it can do, i love explosion as a move because i find it funny.

[@heheheiamasupahstarslam5397]

yep gen 3 is manual tiering the usage based tiering system i dont think existed back when that was current gen

[@Naxafa]

Nice video haha, I enjoy learning about this stuff. Ps. I think I've played against you, I'll keep an eye for next time. Best!:)

[@Whurlpuul]

Hey, just want to say, love the video, love Oldale town buuut... 25 minutes of the oldale town song got a bit grating.

[@oof_maxima]

I knew it was a bit loud, dang it! I'll switch to something quieter in the future.

[@chonchjohnch]

Idk what you mean I’m vibing

[@Whurlpuul]

​@oof_maxima it's not about the sound level, that's fine. I'm talking about switching up the song in places where it would feel natural, maybe after a battle ends and the next one begins you could change the track to another DPP song. Or in the explanation section you could use a different sound in the DPP OST. Thanks.

[@oof_maxima]

ahhh ok

[@villadsk8]

Great vid, cant remeber is this a gen 4 soundtrack?

[@xyzasdf]

Yup, Canalave city

[@paulh462]

cool idea for a serie of video's.

[@shevankaseneviratne1724]

immediate sub!!

[@resurrection7480]

Its kinda weird how many people like both competitive pokemon and fighting games and hey I am 3s fan too

[@paulh462]

I wish it was mono water.

[@JustAaron94]

5:11 pardon my ignorance. How does Starmie rip through metagross?

[@gretchling5012]

252 SpA Starmie Hydro Pump vs. 128 HP / 0 SpD Metagross: 179-211 (53.7 - 63.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO "rip through" might be a bit of an exaggeration, but metagross doesn't exactly switch in to starmie confidently

[@JustAaron94]

Also where are people going to play ADV OU?

[@hammylove821]

Funny thumbnail. :3

[@zacpz9230]

Ice beam is more common than grass

[@Zpanther19]

Hey are you in mushi league?

[@oof_maxima]

Haven't heard of it, so no.

[@Zpanther19]

@@oof_maximaare you on discord? It’s a gen 3 competitive league

[@dylanf3108]

It’s Gen 3 OU but honestly sucks. Way worse than it was in GSC.
