Dear Mr. Cool, I just dropped to top 101 on ladder in Gen 3 OU. I've been playing pokemon competetively for 14 years and this is the first time I've ever dropped this low. After looking around, I realized that the average of my opponent's skill level has been increasing because of your informative and enternaining content. I just wanted to ask that you stop "the grind" to keep average skill low as it's been getting more difficult lately. Thank you. 💕

The Horse Council clearly needs the assistance of professional mediator Corsola, in order to bridge the gap between the Water-type Horsea and the Rock-type Magcargo. Corsola, with her dual Water/Rock typing, is a natural fit for such a delicate political conflict.

[@EinDose]

I dunno, I've heard Corsola has undocumented Ghost-type relations, and while there's nothing wrong with Ghost-types, can we really trust someone with a past like that to be impartial in other type-based issues?

[@Footballfan896]

I heard that Corsola’s ghost-type relations were found to have ties to Gholdengo Investments, and supported Old Money in his rise to power. If Corsola were to mediate, I worry that Old Money’s and his money would persuade Corsola to defend Horsea’s stance. This would throw the Mudcargo alliance into disarray, and may lead to their removal from the horse council.

[@D063-doge]

What should classify as a horse is if it learns High Horsepower. Kingler for Horse Coinsil.

[@SilverScarletSpider]

Omnistar is the true successor to the mediator throne. Corsola is a false prophet

[@woomynation]

In light of the corsola allegations, the hoeshoe crab Pokémon with the water rock typing could be a much better alternative.

[@CyanKnight96]

Zebstrika may be planning to aid the MudCargo Alliance in quashing the Horsea Rebellion, hoping to gain notoriety in the horse council in the aftermath of this war. With Zebstrika’s Electric STAB, defeating Horsea may become far easier. Though with a lack of good physical Electric moves, victory may still remain far off.

Linoone is my favorite early route normal type and I've been saying it's slept on for YEARS.

[@GoldStorm07]

Due to its great speed on straight paths and difficulty in changing direction without coming to a stop, some trainers are alleging that Linoone is actually a car disguised as a funny rodent friend. This is insane.

[@vladfi1]

Don't forget Smeargle also gets Belly Drum and STAB on Extremespeed! It was really funny when you caught a Dugtrio with that a while back.

[@ShadowXeldron]

I *KNEW* one of the Paradox Pokemon were behind this! For some reason I was suspecting the involvement of Iron Fellow. So I think I like these gimmick teams the most. Using stuff nobody expects and taking advantage of their unique properties is always fun. Belly Drum and STAB Extreme Speed sounds like a cool combo, but I can absolutely see why it needs so much setup. I'm sure its very satisfying to pull off when you successfully manage to use it though.

[@lxram9139]

I am disappoineted to see that Mr. Cool has forgotten about the funny dog pokemon Smeargle, who also has access to STAB extreme speed (and was featured prominently on the iconic 3 silly dogs team)
