How a Jumpluff Won $500+

[@jimothycool]

Something I forgot to mention is that this was set 2 of Grand Finals. thelinearcurve already beat Undisputed 3-0 in a best of 5 before this, coming from the Losers bracket. So Jumpluff was brought in Set 2, Game 4 at the absolute most important moment! My Gen 3 OU Tournament, The Jimvitational, will be hosted on our Revival Tournaments YT Channel - ttps://www.youtube.com/@RevivalTournaments/videos Prize Pool donation link - paypal.me/RevivalTournaments Revival Tournaments Discord - discord.gg/xtmZj9jXxb

[@edoardocaccia6226]

I love how Jumpluff was like *gets forced in *encores *refuses to elaborate further and leaves till the end of the match It was just passing by saying hi

[@TheMightyNaryar]

*fails to show up for 85 turns *gets forced in at turn 86 *encores *gets forced out by his own encore *gets sacced to leech seed opponent 10 turns later *wins the match with leech seed Jumpluff, more like Chadluff

[@FlamingZelda3]

-Makes video about jumpluff -Jumpluff clicks leech seed then dies -??? -profit

[@Luna-Lux]

More importantly, it threatened encore at any time if he used a boosting move or grass attack jumpluff could switch in on and that single leech seed won the game with chip damage, any other pokemon there would have to gamble missing toxic to get the same outcome and moltres is very fast and hits hard so jumpluff being able to outspeed and ensure the leech seed connects on the last pokemon that cant switch out is huge

[@DenyInDenial]

​@@Luna-Lux leech seed can also miss

[@t_s_albatross3270]

Something about the idea of “well if I have enough horsepower, the horses won’t be able to tell the difference” is goofy in the best way possible

[@KirbPlatinum]

As a jumpluff enjoyer. This is epic and a grand victory for jumpluff fans everywhere

[@akg054]

I'm officially more broke than a sentient plant.

[@glitchedoom]

Who knew a Jumpluff Jamboree could be so profitable?

[@hardrocklobsterroll395]

Jumpluff is a Pokémon that you probably wouldn’t expect to be relevant in competitive play

[@FrostedPoke]

And I don't think the developers intended for it to be a strong choice, either.

[@lilyofthatvelley]

I don't think the developers intended for it to be a strong choice either

[@vege4805]

I don’t think the developers intended for it to be a strong choice either.

[@Spaceman5pff]

Jumpluffs offensive and defensive stats are terrible

[@konservativen-schreck]

It's ability Chlorophyll is not a very good fit.

[@larrydonahue7502]

Another thing to note: prominent Gen 3 player HClat also used Jumpluff in the Draft tournament Emerald Open 4 to place 2nd out of 256. This is insane.

[@Stephan4Ubers]

Fake Gameplay has a 100% win rate for these videos. I wonder how further we can push Fake Gameplay on the ladder.

[@handoverthestromboli6715]

Fake Gameplay is the goat fr 🔥🔥🔥

[@Avatapaxn]

what

[@tarunyadav3567]

Fake gameplay only wins on camera. Jimothy needs to stream more

[@Pudcup]

Hey, Jimothy Cool. If you need more horse power, just ask notorious horse Mega-Beedrill to learn High Horsepower.

[@tecul1]

that's jumpluff

[@jimothycool]

Yeah.

[@tecul1]

i rewatch this series every once in a while to hear "big pecker callous" it's very funny

[@bananatassium7009]

bro this whole time i thought people were talking about a tourney called 'the kalos invitational' and i was so confused by the name but callous being a real person makes so much more sense now lol

[@_elynas]

happy jumpluff jonday everyone

[@GMO409]

Now we await the future paradox form of Jumpluff, Iron Jumpulus

[@ThomasWeaver1992]

When someone calls you a frail dandelion, and you still kick their butt.

[@cianmacgabhann6692]

I love the game analysis style of this video! Very in depth on particular moves and such it’s very interesting

[@JacobeeVa]

YOOOOOOO, jumpluff love is always fun to see; I will definitely be saving the voice clip of "jumpluff is a swiss army knife of utility" to use against jumpluff deniers

[@aaleven4728]

5:24 idk why suicune's name made me smile

[@canaldecasta]

Jumpluff deserves more than 500 tbh

[@ramblincapuchin9075]

Bounce and Acrobatics made it a staple during my time playing Gen 6 The idea that you could set leech seed, bounce to avoid damage, and on the turn that you take damage, eat a berry and then double your damage out put, there are few downsides to this form of chip damage

[@vdun]

This was truly one of your videos, Jimothy. Especially the part were you talked about Pokémon was indeed present. Thank you, Jimothy Cool

[@joaoayala7022]

what a "watch out, mr president" mpment from jumpluff, trully one of the pokemon of all time

[@makenshao9886]

I find it really interesting how in these kind of tournaments or very high ladder play these kind of off meta pokemon can find a niche to excel at as situational picks when you have a decent idea of what you will face against.

[@roddypiper7404]

A couple gens ago I ran an itemless Swords Dance Jumpluff in NU and/or PU to decent results. The surprise factor of a late game cleaner disguised as a support mon can honestly be game-altering.

[@eycphatp]

you know jumpluff was once in uubl just because people thought it was gonna be too powerful for uu but they were clearly wrong because it's too powerful for ou

[@SNWWRNNG]

That's Jumprough.

[@lizardcat_ana]

jumpluff made cash money

[@jimothycool]

Jumpluff did.

[@SugeryGold]

I would love to see a video comparing the 4 genies and their different forms and the pros and cons of each!

[@officerhonks6278]

The perfect video to prepare me for Jumpluff June in a few days. Thank you.

[@waitingfortheequinnox]

As someone who plays the Randomized Format, “Super Staff Bros Ultimate” on Pokémon Showdown, a Jumpluff with multiple in-built abilities and a move that sets up a Substitute and Leech Seed would win $500 too

[@cartervoltfire4933]

Idk what made me wanna catch and evolve Skiploom, but jumpluff was arguably one of the best Pokemon I ever raised ingame.

[@floofzykitty5072]

Anyone who's played randbats knows this thing is a menace.

[@piku2able]

Every pluff has its jay

[@themister.s-1st]

Jumpluff is a Pokémon you wouldn’t expect to be relevant in modern play

Epic comment

[@subtlee]

My favorite Pokémon won someone money in competitive, nature is healing

[@UnknownPikmin]

congratulations to this jumpluff for winning such a substantial amount of currency

[@chriswillis4960]

I love Jumpluff, I feel like its one of those mons that are very underrated its utility is amazing and its so fun to setup and get going with it to support your team.

[@brunomiiguel]

Anyone who plays randbats have encountered this demon at some point

[@jackieboy8923]

Really great to see Jumpluff succeed even outside of Jumpluff January

Watch out that the Horse Council doesn't corrupt you from as you attempt to change the system from the inside. also jumpluff sweep

As we saw on the Jimothy Gaming channel, encore can be a great option on fellows such as Machamp

[@kingkrispy5289]

i cant believe a geometrical shape won a pokemon tournament with a smiling ball of pollen

[@tysondennis1016]

Jumpluff’s stats are perfect for it being a fast support.

[@zunir0a]

Jumpluff actually sees some use as a niche pick in Pokémon GO’s Great League PvP so it isn’t entirely bad

[@SF3284]

Every Jum has its Pluff!

[@trevorjamesnegus]

I've always thought of Jumpluff as the little engine that could. Underrated speedy boi

[@lechonkvgc8857]

folks, it is jumpluff june. this is insane.

[@armorbearer9702]

It sounds like Jumpluff could have been deadly if it had Pressure. With Encore and Substitute, I can see it sapping the pp of moves like Hydro Pump.

[@slowpr0]

Encore is in my top 10 underrated moves. Video idea? 👀

[@McAlistar869]

jumpluffs money got different

[@Wrulfy]

That guy that put jumpluff at number 15, was onto something

[@triviszla1536]

Excellent commentary and well played.

[@EdgarAllenPwn]

Finally Jumpluff rep for us dozens of Jumpluff fans!

[@sombrego2260]

Jumpluff has always been my favourite Pokémon and I'm so sad it's always been so horrendous.

[@nickkerinklio8239]

Do a review on Skibidi Toilet?

[@skeetermania3202]

This guy should join the ranks of Joseph Ugarte (he won a regional last year with a Torkoal + Jumpluff sun pair).

[@mymarshlands]

every time i heard of the "Kalos Invitational" i was so confused! why is the gen 3 tourney named after the gen 6 region turns out it was CALLOUS all along lmao

[@inkblots9244]

Jumpluff? Jumpluff!? Manifesting Ubers Spinda next. My favourite little fellow.

[@TheRealGigachad1848]

Fun thing is that Jumpluff isn't even the most surprising thing in Linear's team.

[@zaaya7719]

If I had a nickel for every time Jumpluff won money in a Smogon format I'd have two nickels, which isn't much but it's weird it happened twice (I won $40 and a drawing in an oras duu tour back in like 2016 and this is infinitely more swag so this brings a smile to my face :DDD go pluffy)

[@Asidders]

Power rush is so real when 110 base speed is "respectable" lol

[@kurenian]

Gen 3 OU continues to amaze me.

[@benjulesrun9057]

I'm just here to figure out if zebstrika is allowed on the horse council or not

[@KFLawless1412]

I see you've incorporated my feedback regarding the phrase "neigh." Adequate.

[@lunarionion]

To the people who doesn't want to watch the whole video : Jumpluff won 500$ through lottery (very true)

[@Karpy0-0]

Jumpluff was able to do things!? This is far from sane!!

[@teo2805]

Im so happy for him

I assumed Thunder had reduced accuracy in sand lol

Now this is Jumpin'

Hey if jumpluff didn't exist neither would Hoppip and TheJwittz wouldn't have a mascot

My favourite horse is revaroom it has very high horse power

[@cowboybepis4071]

Dawg what is jumpluff gonna do with $500😭

[@gio9255]

Jumpluff has amazing utility and great speed. The only thing holding it back is its poor offense and defensive stats.

[@getmilked6216]

"the usual please" is so funny

[@MogusMasterSaikawa22]

jumpluff is so cute. I’m glad it’s okay in gen 3. in gen 2 I used one in game and it’s so so so terrible like it has such an awful movepool. my ledian did more than my jumpluff did despite being a semi offensive ledian XD

[@MAYOFORCE]

I commonly use Mayo as my username on most sites and when I saw someone in Jimothy's tournament was also named Mayo I have to give them a shoutout and how they give the Mayo name a good reputation

[@XLR8VGC]

forreskin is a absolutely wild name for a fortress💀

[@amadora48]

would you mind using banden doom desire jirachi?

[@tinfoilslacks3750]

Hey Jimothy, after hearing you talk about substitute + leech seed, it reminded me of a failed attempted archetype that mostly saw play in DPP and BW ubers called "quick stall" which featured annoying pokemon like whimsicott in combination with traditional stall pokemon. It's not current by any means, but is there anything that can be said about this subarchetype?

[@JO-iv7tl]

Jumpluff the Forrest Gump of Pokemon.

[@ctv186]

Make Jimothy's horsepower high!

[@brastionskywarrior6951]

Jumpluff is my favourite pokemon

[@axel8912]

Does anyone have a link to a recording of this game?

[@Notaytchannel-i4v]

This was beautiful this how you play in the finals

[@Notaytchannel-i4v]

How is the meta still involving. Is it new tech. Special rule changes or do they just add new moves or something.
