⁠@@et34t34fdf Comatose causes the Pokémon to behave as if it were asleep, though it doesn't officially have the Sleep status condition. It can still use its regular moves, but cannot be inflicted with any major status condition (sleep, poison, paralysis, burn, or freeze).

outrageous that komala is allowed to blatantly ignore the much maligned sleep ban to beat dragapult

[@Skullhawk13]

No you don’t understand a council member lost to hypnosis, Sleep had to be banned. /s

[@jasonthejazzman8521]

Did you know that if you put a grass type Pokémon in front of Komala, it will not recognize it as a grass type? That is because it only ever encounters grass types in trees in the wild. You have to put a grass type in a tree before Komala's Ice Spinner can hit it super effectively. Just like real Koalas.

Koalas are such dedicated gamers that they evolved to have two thumbs on each hand. Gotta respect the grindset.

[@werbearjack]

There is a German saying "Wer schläft, macht nichts verkehrt." which means "Who sleeps does nothing wrong." and Komala thinks that is beautiful.

[@AQW0RIDS]

I believe Krookodile can apply for the Australian animal council as he is designed after a crocodile, arguably a freshwater crocodile.

[@logancosta3166]

It appears to be an Egyptian croc to me and less like ours

Counterpoint: saltwater crocodiles don't live exclusively in Australia, so can you really call them an Australian animal?

Pokemon whose Australian-ness should be investigated: Spiders, as another commentor has noted. Dodrio, since its design has similarities with cassowaries. Marowak, for its signature move Bonemerang. Magby, since it's based off of birds and sounds like magpie.

True.

[@palestjade]

this sounds like the Gen 1 Porygon situation where it's really good against One Set on One Good Pokemon and then kind of does whatever to the rest of the tier but still helps then that one good pokemon does something other than that one set and you are now playing 5 against 6

[@harb1ng3r82]

People rag on stall all the time which makes sense, it’s often frustrating to play against, but wanting a tier to have more creative options and hating stall are incongruous viewpoints imo because stall is the playstyle that finds the most use for overlooked, seemingly weak pokemon that happen to have one or two extremely crucial traits for he metagame.

[@nicolasromani3523]

I respect Stall, but not the people who choose to use it. Winning a 75+ turns battle for only 10 points or so doesn't feel very rewarding.

Komala is another example of how moves are the most important thing to a pokemon's viability. Makes me feel sad about Floatzel. While it is technically better now thanks to Wave Crash, losing Seitcheroo completely gutted it's Water Veil sets, losing a lot of skill expression. Also when a pokemon becomes viable due to one set, it often props up it's other sets as the simple act of your opponent not know what moves you're running props the "less optimal" sets with surprise factor.

[@saurabh5204]

Your videos are a delight, jimothy cool.
