Walls in Competitive Pokemon.

[@jimothycool]

Ferrothorn was not included in this video due to the allegations.

[@jimothycool]

It can wall Dragons a bit but also it has no good healing and gets Worn down easily. A top tier defensive utility Pokemon but I wouldn't quite call it a Wall with much longevity. Also it's immoral

Cant believe poison heal is now a move in gen 10 exclusive to iron mugulis, stands toe to toe with smeargle blast as the strongest move in the game

[@thefatcontrollershat]

Iron Mugulis and Smeargle 2 should get banned to AGBL they are so strong.

[@bobbyy-gc2vt]

Does anyone still think either of them are viable? Everyone knows zekrom kick is stronger than both of them

Iron fellow is a UU staple with a niche in OU since it resists smergle blast and Chansey’s signature move called “pulling out a concealed firearm”.

Fun fact about Gen 4 Clefable/Magic Guard: Magic Guard in Gen 4 made you immune to full paralysis preventing your turn meaning all being paralyzed did was half your speed

[@DkKobaADV]

quartered** its only in gen 7 that it halved.

[@dartiliousreyard4735]

Hilariously, one could argue Chansey’s immunity to Body Slam paralysis is a debuff, exclusively for itself. A paralyzed Chansey cannot be slept or frozen (the latter often being fished for in Chansey mirror matches) and it cannot be hit with the rare, but still present, toxic. Sometimes you would rather switch Chansey in to get paralyzed over your Tauros or another important ’mon, just to insulate it from other status.

[@funkymachine]

This is true, but it's definitely categorically a rework and mostly positive for chansey. paralysis dropping turns completely ruins chances to wall certain targets, a paralyzed chansey often can get "haxxed" by psychic spamming mons or reflect sets can fail as they need to get the reflect off t1 of entry.

[@Rafael_Oiticica]

This a very newbie and poor view of the meta. To actually believe that you have to never have played any game at all of the tier. There are intricacies such as know how to fish for a freeze in the correct situations rather than use Thunder Wave/an attack love with some Pokémon, positioning and so much more...

[@Tyler-ob4qp]

I should also add in that, in Gen 2, Cloyster's scariest tool (besides spikes) is explosion. It has to sacrifice rapid spin to run it thanks to some egg move stuff, but it's worth it. It actively threatens Snorlax meaning the big man can't just stay in on a Cloy and can also punish any switch-ins provided you get a good read

[@markT4561]

I’m so excited to see what Jimothy says about my favorite wall, Cradily!

[@ThatOneLocalWizard]

What I like about Garganacl as a wall is that it functions more like an anti wall instead of a pure wall itself, everything it has is perfectly tuned to punish overly defensive strats that were used in the past. It can't be statused and its signature move does massive damage to steel and water the two types that were basically the mascot of defense. However, Garg is tricky to use as a pure wall due to its typing making it hard to find switch-in opportunities. It really needs both a turn to switch in and a turn to set up before you enter the garg engine, and those turns are usually against other walls

[@grantos19]

Whoa, adding Balatro music into the mix If I already paid half of my attention to the music in some of these videos, let's just say I won't be less distracted Love that theme, gets stuck in my head for hours lol Also take this opportunity to say I enjoy the music in general. Nice vid! Very cohesive through the gens!

[@kimacabuag9161]

I’m not sure if this has been said before or not, but I personally believe Swampert and other Pokémon such as Carracosta should get shore up as I kinda believe it would fit with them. I mean Swampert has two dex entries stating it makes it’s nest on beautiful beaches, and Carracosta is literally “the prototurtle” Pokémon and turtles (at least sea turtles) are well known for building their nests on land and covering their eggs with sand (the Japanese name for shore up is literally sand gather). That’s just my opinion though, would appreciate any feedback on this

RBY Rhydon does use Rest every now and then in more defensive oriented teams when you want longevity against Zapdos and Jolteon, also helps against non-ice beam Chansey since it can pp stall it.

[@MiaoNya]

I personally put Walls in two categories: Walls and Tanks. Tanks are like Walls, but unlike walls; and like tanks in real life, they hit really, really hard. Think Snorlax and Rhydon.

[@Goldeneye3336]

Ya no good player does thiis. You must be a bad player.

[@patternwhisperer4048]

Regarding snorlax, aren't "tanks" an archtype in Pokemon? Slow units with massive bulk that can hit hard. Tanks share some traits with walls. However, Tanks have less longetivity and are more prone to be chipped down. Walls have access to consistent healing, but less consistent (if any) way of dishing damage
