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 KZbin. In any case, he's a powerful metagame force, with absolutely no interest in online game development schools.

Thanks for coming on. This is our first attempt at Duo commentary, feel free to leave feedback!

Meanwhile: Giga Drain G E T T I N G S L U R P E D

[@patriciobreamartinez4095]

I enjoyed all the matches, specially Duskull + Dusclops, great strategy. And I must say that I suffered several brain damage watching the last replay

[@neroatlas]

Love fun not necessarily meta highlights! Thanks for the content

[@madduxnagel6935]

I was genuinely so hyped to see Cradily! The moveset was... questionable lol, but I'm glad to see someone trying to make him work!

[@Aoi_Tori_]

Really enjoyed the duo comms

[@BiffTheBanana]

The Dusclops enjoyer was insane

[@Kejmur]

And it's genuinely excellent how well the double Curse ghost team worked.

[@ThatGuyThai]

​@@Kejmurmostly worked because opponent switched out when he had a kill on duskull, still was pretty cool to see

[@Kejmur]

True, but it was fun to witness anyway ;). @@ThatGuyThai

[@rajkanishu]

​@@ThatGuyThai tbh they had three unrevealed mons in the back anyway

[@Eroil]

​@@rajkanishumust've been gengar bannete and shuppet

[@halowaffle25]

That final match was a stoppable force VS a movable object.

[@DillonChichester]

Underrated comment

[@A3STH3T1CS]

this is just true

[@olliert4840]

😭😭😭😭😭

[@MelodyBarrens]

Good thing they were a match for each other, or it would have just been 'meta player stomps jank'.

[@mesdecent8051]

I loved the: "Curse Dusclops is good enought so I'm going to run one and a half."

[@nwcleear]

and it worked 😨

[@KrazyKyle-ij9vb]

If Dusclops is so good, why isn't there a Dusclops 2?

[@SkorpTS]

@@KrazyKyle-ij9vb There is, it's called Dusknoir. Surprisingly, Dusclops 1 is probably better.

[@globalistgamer6418]

Dusknoir, more like Dusknah. Just break species clause bro.

[@A3STH3T1CS]

​@@KrazyKyle-ij9vbthere is, it's Eviolite Dusclops

[@frogvie3624]

the curse dusclops + duskull player is my new favorite showdown player

[@MyHandleIsAplaceholder]

Omg hide

[@handoverthestromboli6715]

Crit+Freeze followed by Crit hydro pump followed by freeze followed by winning the game with hydro pump goes crazy

[@Pichugamer-kn1qg]

Ong bro

[@Naxafa]

I expected a wish to avoid crits, or a body slam to get paralysis and secure a bit more. Forblaze would have won almost all of the times but yeah these situations are kinda common too.

[@dislexyc]

​@@Naxafaah, yes. CM Body Slam, my favourite set

[@Naxafa]

@@dislexyc say thunder (in random battles jirachi always has body slam that's why i said that)

[@brimstoner982]

the game just didn't want him to win

[@jacobassink6982]

Due to the fact that Blissey provides zero serotonin, everyone is getting swept by special attackers

[@spiciestbirb]

So true

[@jgf9105]

The fact that duskull alone was used is crazy but tearing through half a team when dusclops could only muster a single kill was so unnecessarily funny

[@amale441]

The Duskbros guy is goated, give him the full prize pool, he deserves it

[@_______2107]

Aggrontrio v Lucat2 was just two AIs pitted against each other and told to Pokémon battle like they’ve both been huffing tear gas

[@peternicholas3719]

That match was stressful!

[@usernametaken017]

Giga drain vs body press

[@mrpiccionedivino5598]

Lucat2 was so traumatized by cradily he didn't know what to do.

[@Naxafa]

I'm surprised he didn't have a single burn/poison/toxic status move, or a set-up move, in his whole team... :/

[@mrpiccionedivino5598]

Bro wasn't even sure what move to use, he probably wasn't sure of what not effective and super effective mean, i think they are just a child or a guy who never played pokemon who just learned that pokemon showdown let's you make your teams with just a few clicks and that was enough to go here and make his dream team.

[@Naxafa]

@@mrpiccionedivino5598 I see, I thought Jimmy showed pro players videos 😂 still very fun footage

[@pitchblendeprotogen]

​@@NaxafaThis is round 1 of a 500 player tournament. Gonna be some players to weed out for now

[@kalaveet2857]

Giga Drain Ninjask to bait Roar Swampert!!! You're all sleeping while Aggrontrio is wide awake🔥

[@Cobalt957]

If someone had told me a Duskull killed a Jirachi and Articuno alongside chipping zapdos to half health in a tournament, I wouldnt believe it no matter if Im high or drunk or not

[@jak1165]

Riveting gameplay in the last one. I enjoyed that time the player clicked Giga Drain

[@hiddenpowerbug]

i liked that one turn where lucat clicked brick break

[@masudimohammad4255]

I was gonna join the tournament and I assumed it was a bunch of people coming in from the gen 3 invitational just mercilessly stomping out people. I now understand that I shoulda just hopped in and had fun like these people.

[@s942]

Cradily game is jawdropping

[@shevankaseneviratne1724]

fuck man duskull is abt the most heat u could bring holy hell

[@RichardBlaziken]

"This is insane" has never been more appropriate for that last game. What a rollercoaster lmao

[@deltaflowers5365]

Aggrontrio is a psyop by Iron Mugulis whereas Lucat is a psyop by Iron Chugulis

[@wazithegreat]

19:18 THERE GOES MY HERO

[@philtommygino1]

Ok but this is ACTUALLY insane though. The Double Curse was crazy

[@Hitmonchu]

absolutely one of the funniest showdown videos ive ever seen, adored the commentary and the preposterous sets. When the Ninjask also had giga drain i laughed so hard my chest hurt. Frankly i would pay $2708.35 to find out what Aggrontrio's last pokemon was

[@BLiZIHGUH]

The Ninjask into Cradily had me convinced they tried to build a full BP team despite BP Clause lol

[@grrman]

That Dusclops + Duskull team was wild

[@tramnsrigts9157]

That last game felt randomly generated idk how else to describe it

[@a-s-greig]

Two AIs deliberately trolling.

[@jaksida300]

That Cradily set fucking rocks. You know that must have been cooked by Verlisify in 2014.

[@my.name_00]

tbf, that cradily is facing a cat pilot that randomly click on moves.

[@jaksida300]

@@my.name_00 No, it’s just the average Cradily enjoyer skill level trumps anyone.

[@madduxnagel6935]

As a huge Cradily enjoyer, I popped off seeing my boy. Don't understand the Ingrain at all though... why not Toxic or Rest there?

[@jake9107]

lmao verlisify is peek cringe

[@greyt00th]

bullet seed instead of giga drain i would have understood. weak but higher pp with nothing immune to it

[@Estradiol_Gaming]

That last game one of a kind😂

[@keenfrizzle]

I don't know much about ADV OU meta, but I feel like the more I learn, the more my mind will be blown by whatever happened in that last game.

[@CantHurtMe361]

That first Skarmory was the real definition of "This is insane". But I have never seen anything like the Duskull family! That Cradily must have made the opponent break down mentally...

[@mrpiccionedivino5598]

That's probably the first time they have ever seen a mon boost to X4.

[@uamdbro]

Just gonna give Lucat the benefit of the doubt and assume they were drunk and sleep-deprived and also have never played a Pokemon game before

[@user-lh7mt7zo7l]

My money is on them being a literal child. It'd make sense considering the target demographic for pokemon.

[@uamdbro]

also definitely possible lol @@user-lh7mt7zo7l

[@handoverthestromboli6715]

his controller wasn't plugged in and his little brother was playing and he was playing with the Mario Kart wii steering wheel

[@usernametaken017]

and were also passing through a difficult divorce

[@cobramg3]

Ive watched pretty much all of the recent videos on the revival tournament and I must say I absolutely love it. It's actually gotten me back into playing showdown! Keep it up because I know pretty much everyone else loves watching these.

[@arozin6773]

These videos have made me seriously consider joing the tournament scene. They are really good!

[@AnarchoCatBoyEthan]

same! very great stuff, very fun.

[@thebensonator]

That first game was NUTS. Honestly, so many games during this tournament have been insane - it's a REALLY good time to be an ADV fan. Thank you Jimothy for all your incredible work for the community! (EDIT: That last game is even more insane. I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS AND ABSOLUTELY NO ANSWERS)

[@BiggestSniff]

this was hilarious. the dusclops person knew what they were doing

[@jensvide777]

Let's go I love Dusclops and Duskull. I wonder if Duskull can work in doubles with its Levitate ability and access to Helping Hand to support boom and EQ while being immune to both.

[@jimothygaming]

Thats kinda genius. I know Dusclops is decent in doubles alongside exploders. Also has imprison to prevent Protect

[@EmbodimentOfEvil]

Duskull also has Icy Wind, Thief, and Destiny Bond. Those sound like great moves for the doubles metagame. But I haven't played it so I'm unsure.

[@haidynwendlandt2479]

The Venusaur has Hidden Power fucking Fighting

[@beam5655]

Hits Blissey for a whopping 25%

[@toadfanatic]

I lost brain cells watching that last replay 😂

[@keiharris332]

Dear jesus. Curse spam has invaded ADV. Old Money will see this and dusclops stock will go through the roof.

[@muffincopnoicingforme8220]

Damn that giga drain team was fuckin hilarious 😂

[@marcoasturias8520]

Articuno: "this can't boreal!"

[@ryankeathley995]

LOL

[@abarette_]

oh my god

[@axelwarriorvs]

The dual commentary from you two is awesome!

[@Blazewheat]

I can't stop coming back to this masterpiece

[@AkarisMouth]

Honestly, I fully expected that Cradily to not even have an attacking move

[@lohn2559]

Someone keep an eye on forblaze on em… that was a villain origin story

[@dylanf3108]

14:00 bro I’d be so pissed literally the luckiest game I’ve seen this year.

[@cristianotesta3027]

The last game was money winner worthy

[@averymetagal]

First game was Coughing baby vs Coughing baby

[@johnsanko4136]

Watching Articuno eat curses non stop from duskull is peak comedy. What kind of madman brings dusclops and duskull? Lmao

[@really_named_dan]

New Jimothycool video Duskull’s surprising role in the gen 3 OU metagame

[@shadownite3378]

ingrain cradily and fire blast marowak is the new meta. Im tellin you

The duo Dus was amazing. I had initially thought oeople were being unnecessarily mean for the last match... until I watched the last match. Interesting indeed

[@melikmourali2072]

What a roller coaster ! A mixture of hilarity, tragedy and total confusion haha ! Thank you Jim and everyone for making this possible

[@rajkanishu]

the classic three starters-water (or whatever fills the starter type trio) -pseudo-gengar team structure, a staple of competitive pokemon

[@Cyrllo]

Very happy with the dual commentary! Great video, Jim !

[@maxmustermann5590]

Dude crit freeze, crit, freeze - what was that starmie on goddamn

you can see jim getting increasingly more angry throughout the matches LMAOOO

[@shevankaseneviratne1724]

THE LONG AWAITED RETURN OF JIMOTHY!!

[@dylanf3108]

The Dusknull team was such a Chad move

[@luke6784]

the ninjask also using giga drain was too much for my heart

[@maxmustermann5590]

If you just roll a dice and chose your move by absolute randomness you're still playing better than Lucat

[@mrpiccionedivino5598]

Bro was humiliated

[@Sam-tl4ho]

Wait wasnt that what he was doing?

[@geliscon]

Maybe they were pretending they were in the Battle Palace

[@gerardoortega323]

​@@gelisconbruh that facility's the worst 😂 but even with battle palace rules you're probably still playing better than lucat

[@lottabee]

what in the absolute hell was that last game?? 😭

[@suly5836]

Cradily intimidation factor goes crazy.

[@bluebird6591]

Thank you Jimothy and Thank you Xtina. You both are the dusclops and duskull combo I need to start this week off. Very gaming. This is Insane

[@MamoruMe]

Really loved the commentary! Id love to see xtina play!

[@shoopy44]

the duskull set changed me.

[@99attftw1]

I’ve been many places and seen many things, but I ain’t never dun seen such a pog team comp as the one with the Dusclops combo!

[@peet-janissen5838]

That last game was like the famous quote of dipper pines "I coundn't have made it up even if I tried."

[@SilentDragonite149]

I don’t know who let the guy with the Duskull and Dusclops cook, but I’m glad they did because what they made was delicious. Dare I even say it’s a dish to die for!

[@DanielZhaoDeng]

That duskull and cradily was a mind warped

[@cjer6040]

I'm not even sure which player here had me the most heated. MVP Rose being LVP Lose and failing to just fucking click any goddamn attack on Duskull, Aggrontrio deciding that Giga Drain is the most powerful move in the game or Lucat2 being an actual goddamn cat on a keyboard. This video had me genuinely stressed out lmaooo

[@UnuUO]

honestly the most stressful one was the guy who got haxed by starmie. the others were just funny

[@beam5655]

Rose not clicking tbolt on the duskull pissed me off lol.

[@lukenawrocki5042]

i LOVED the dusclops and duskull guy -- i was sad mine wasn't picked but now that we've seen these,,, i understand why

I wish I participated in this tournament. I had the impression that it would be too many good players but this is proving me otherwise. One single Blissey or Zapdos lead and these people are cooked.

[@Luzbel809]

The high level players will be present in further rounds, tho.

[@someeggplant]

The lesson for today: bring Blissey.

[@AutumnReel4444]

Okay, these were a good time, but did people who have never played Pokemon before join a tournament? I am genuinely curious what happened to allow for this beauty.

[@wheatleythebrick2276]

I was wondering why no one was talking about the first 2 matches but that last one was actually unhinged

[@Aoi_Tori_]

Loved the Dusclops player

[@black-redpill3]

Since fighting is resisted by flying and the HP damage was minimal, its likely Venasaur was running hidden power fighting for coverage. The question as to why it was never used on the Cradilly is another question entirely.
