Muk's versatility is unbeatable.

I'm excited to announce my newest high-quality team, consisting of ninjask, machamp, jirachi, volcarona, reuniclus, and toxapex. Certainly this is an excellent comp to win me many friends in gen 7 ubers

[@JenolaVA]

My most hated pokemon was pre gen-9 Landorus T. It felt like an obligatory choice on every OU team. Its sets were incredibly versatile, and it offered great role compression while being powerful both offensively and defensively in its own right. In gen 8, it was the best switch-in to a lot of current meta threats. And I hate it a lot. Landorus T deserved every nerf it got. It feels fine now. Having strong competition helps, like from Great Tusk who does certain things better, certain things worse, but shares a lot of the same weaknesses so teams trying to cover for one cover both. Also it looks dumb. At least Tusk is just Donphan (elephant I love) with spikes on it.

[@bernardops7138]

I feel not enough people say this, 100% agreed (and it looks so ugly)

[@cornesalvo9366]

This, Lando-T has been given free rein over OU for far too long for no good reason. When another pokemon dominates a lower tier and people start calling it "The Landorus-T of X", you get a general good idea of how good that pokemon is in that tier.

[@GrizlyWizard]

I got PTSD listening to you talk about gen 4 Jirachi. You can’t even reliably use Magnezone because any set with Iron Head/Body Slam is also going to have fire punch. It’s a menace.

[@91Caesar]

I was thinking about what new ability you could use to make an instantly hateable pokemon. What about an ability that sets the accuracy of all moves, both you and your opponent's, to 70%? Whether the move is naturally higher accuracy than 70% or naturally lower, the accuracy check will treat it as 70% accurate. Everything is now Focus Blast tier. Technically reliable, but deep down we all know.

SD Ninjask without baton pass is cool I wont lie. You can use it to bait Skarmory and hard switch to Magneton and that helps it sweep later which is pretty funny. Shame the Baton Pass variant is so radioactive that no one tries cool stuff with the Bug

In Gen 6, Move Order was decided before mega evolution. Because of this, mega sableeye kept the prankster priority on the turn it mega evolved and effectively had 2 abilites for a turn. This was changed in gen 7, another reason why it was worse there. It could also run calm mind to boost against special attackers. It was also banned very late into gen 6s lifetime

[@bdt2002gaming]

What really gets me about Gen 4 Machamp is how it’s basically the perfect anti-lead. Even in matchups that seem like it would lose, it can still either switch out or try its luck with DynamicPunch confusions. Bullet Punch makes this even scarier, since most other leads that may run a priority move lose to one of Machamp’s other moves anyway.

[@zehrajade8353]

To be honest i can understand how certain pokemons can be very frustrating and deemed " no skill " but on the otherhand how much of these players truly try their best to find solutions and knowledge to try and combat these pokemons if they are used frequently.

[@robraf12]

Hello Jimothy Cool, what is the reason that accuracy lowering moves such as Sand Attack are even allowed in Gen3 OU? There is nothing competitive about betting your luck on potential dodges, is there?

[@jeremye1159]

I can’t wait for Sand Attack Sundays!

[@swagmaster2003]

Ninjask used to be in UUBL in gen 3 not too long ago, this video showed him in UU, but after checking, it's now in RUBL. I'm curious why they dropped it down so much, you'd think it would be awful to play against without sand.

[@honjon666]

Baton pass is banned in Gen 3 UU, so ninjask's speedpass niche is eliminated. Baton Pass is also banned from gen3 RU, but ninjask was still banned from the tier for being too strong with sd and a lack of steel types/resistances in the tier.

[@swagmaster2003]

[@halbertsimpson]

Since when did Gen 3 RU exist? What has Game Freak been cooking?...

[@honjon666]

@halbertsimpson ru has existed but adv NU looks like it has been recently implemented in the builder as an official tier now, which is awesome.

[@DoctorSpacebar]

Pokemon ROWE uses its "Signature Move" system to make Ninjask's Fury Cutter an 80 BP move based on Speed, which is as busted as you'd expect, and somehow I'd rather fight a Ninjask with that than a Ninjask with Sand-Attack. At least priority can deal with the former. Jirachi gets rid of the problem, and the problem is 60% of your turns. It's probably worse in Gen 4 where Sucker Punch isn't super-effective yet. I'm not experienced with the Gen 4 meta, but Lucario seems like a solid counter, though Fire Punch might be an issue. I remember the time I toxicstalled a Toxapex with Soak Dewpider in a challenge run of Unbound. That was funny. Radical Red gave Salt Cure to Corsola. Corsola also has Regenerator. This made it one of the most fun "stall" mons to use- I could Salt Cure a guy that switched in to hit Corsola with a weakness, maybe use Protect for more chip, then switch in another member of the team, which in my run was usually either Vespiquen (who can shrug off Corsola's weaknesses to Grass, Fighting and Ground) or Golurk (who is immune to Electric and appreciates any chance to set up Rock Polish). One tip about Poison Heal: the damage from Toxic continues ramping up in the background, even though it doesn't apply to the healing. If you get rid of Poison Heal via Skill Swap, Entrainment, Worry Seed, Neutralizing Gas, or Mummy, it'll start from that ramped-up damage. If the target's been in for long enough, this can be a one-shot!

[@hugoderschreckliche6441]

I appreciate the RuneScape music as always Jim

[@suitwo]

For me when I did a lot of showdown (mainly random battles) it was always the ones that felt like there was nothing that could be done to stop them even if you knew exactly what they were going to do. Pokemon with Leech Seed, then Spore or Substitute and the Sitrus Berry Harvest combo, those that could forever set up and would be +6 in whatever stat they needed as all I had was mons that would be walled by them, even something like Sigilyph when it would hold a flame orb, psycho shift it the burn and just start using cosmic power and roost I hated playing against. A lot of these will just be because I saw many of them in random battles when they would be a lot easier to beat on an OU/UU ladder. But I'd say in general the ones I never liked playing against were those that you can't stop them from doing whatever they want even if you knew that was it's whole plan, which does cover quite a few on that list like Substitute Ninjask, Quiver Dance Volcarona or Poison Heal Gliscor. They have counters obviously but if you don't have them or it's fainted then all you can do is watch as it beats your team on its own.

Garganacl in sand is much more worse, it can sponge special hits more easily. However, Salt Cure's effect is blocked by Pokemon with ability Shield Dust or holding a Covert Cloak, also its damage at the end of the turn is ignored by Magic Guard Pokemon (Clefable for example), Clefable can easily deal with Garganacl with the combination of Calm Mind, Grass Knot, Life Orb and Grass Tera, it has 75% chance to OHKO it at +1 SpA with no SpA investment, 36 SpA EVs are the minimum required to get the guranteed OHKO.
