Run a revenge killer with sash, or make your lead pokemon resistant to Ice (the AI will avoid using the "not very effective" type move even if it's an OHKO - not sure if this gets fixed at some Gen though). Metagross lead, with a ground immune switch in will avoid Sheer Cold, Horn Drill and Fissure. Recommend Gyarados or a flying/dragon to also get the fire resist synergy. In that case you should trick a choice scarf onto a Fissure user rather than switch, to get free DD setup. Unless it's a mon that can get both fissure and quick claw in the same set. If you look on bulbapedia, there's only a certain amount of curated sets and you may be surprised what coverage you can leave out.

I love using Aqua ring, Left overs with ice body especially in gen 4- infinite healing

[@HamLover17]

I got into top 10 on Smogon in Gen 6 with a team built around a rest talk walrein. My favorite Pokémon

[@scorpioncox8978]

Ah yes. The one pokemon that reins over a tier when hail was permanent but gets walled once it was removed. An ironic fate to be sure.

[@ulture]

I really love Walrein's design and I still remember the first time I ever saw one, in the Elite Four in Sapphire

[@whatamidoing725]

I love how “unfortunately” has become this channels catchphrase

How “”Good”” was the linoone and obstagoon competitively? Has the niche of having gluttony, belly drum, and extremespeed but still not that good Fun fact, before USUM, there was only 2 ways you were able to obtain a linoone with extreme speed legitimately: Be around for the 2015 jump fiesta mystery event which was japan exclusive. OR had to get the extreme speed zigzagoon egg from Pokémon box ruby and sapphire which was a game cube game that you connected to your gba to store Pokémon. You had to deposit a certain number of mons to be able to obtain the egg and then transefer that zigzagoon all the way up to the latest gen. It was just tedious and convoluted. Since USUM, extreme speed became an egg move and now you just gotta breed it with a male lucario or arcanine with extreme speed iirc.

Obstagoon got banned from UU. That´s quite impressive.

[@cintronproductions9430]

@@Rarest26 Well, it's currently in UU again, but yeah, the fact it was banned once and is even perfectly usable in OU goes to show how much of a beast Goon is.

[@Rarest26]

@@cintronproductions9430 Wait, they unbanned it? I should be more up to date before saying anything...

[@joshuakim5240]

@@cintronproductions9430 Lol imagine how hilariously OP Obstagoon would be if it got access to Sucker Punch. It would become a dark type version of Grassy Glide Rilaboom.

joshua kim Why would it be OP?

[@armorbearer9702]

(13:53) I never get tired of VGC segments. I love it when dedicated fans find use of their favorite Pokemon and go into battle against Olympus mons.

How Bad was Gumshoos in the presidential meta actually next

[@beanlord8080]

I remember my troll set with Walrein back in ORAS. It had Sheer Cold, Fissure, Rest and Sleep Talk with a Chesto Berry. It was an evil set, but it was so fun to use XD

[@roberte.o.speedwagon6043]

Walrein looked scary and imposing in Gen 3/4. It looks kinda derpy and plumpy in the 3D models. One of the few sprites I actually prefer to the new models 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MousaThe14]

“Despite not even knowing about Natures or EVs” and he made it that far!?

[@luckycandy101]

FSG: Walrein is AMAZING! "Does that mean it was OU?" FGS: Well actually it was NU and Untiered most of the time, but it was AMAZING! 😂

[@delbut12]

“To catch the adorable spheal” literally every time I went to shoal cave, I just went down to the Ice Room to catch a Snorunt lol

[@ConstantinKlose-sj4mb]

So many fond memories of Walrein. Spheal was one of if not the first Mon I got in the Platinum post game, and I loved it

[@theeducatedfool]

Sometimes I feel like Walrein should’ve been an evolution from Dewgong but then I remember how adorable Spheal and Sealeo are.

[@braydenfarmer184]

[@cradiculous]

For once I wasn't caught off-guard by the second video. I was waiting for it after seeing how short and awful Furret's analysis was.

[@Dj_Gj]

Walrein is one of my favorite Pokémon, oddly. Don’t know why, but I like it.
