Folks, it is Muk Monday.

It's Mugulis Monday folks.

[@azeria1]

Muk always wins on Monday making him very consistent on that day

[@blastoiseddr]

Is it because on Tuesday, they all catch him unawares?

[@bayosuit]

It's only on Monday that Muk can minimize the evidence of its crimes into Garbodor's mouth...

[@Aji-fc5vx]

​@@bayosuitwhat...muk does what now?

[@ItsJustKaya]

​​@@bayosuit What type of Gentai, Buu type of shi is this

[@JoyDaBeast]

6/9 of those pokemon being ground types just goes to show how good and consistent the "bulky ground" archetype is

[@gallae]

2/3 of the non-ground types are steel types which should also say something about steels. and then there's cloyster.

[@Neonlight3934]

​@@gallaeTBH, I think Rydon fit the bill way more than Cloyster in Gen1.

This video was certainly amusing, Jimothy. Unfortunately, I was distracted to the point of being completely oblivious to Giratina shadow sneaking into my living room and sending me to the distortion world. Giratina demands that your KZbin channel must reach 95 thousand subscribers in order for me to return to the surface. May we overcome this inconvenience. Thank you.

[@Benbre08]

Don't worry my friend, Jimothy shall reach 95K subscribers thanks to his high quality content and amazing personality.

[@vdun]

@@Benbre08 Thank you. I got news this morning that Jimothy Cool’s KZbin channel has reached the aforementioned milestone. I’m back home safely, and Giratina will celebrate Christmas here.

@ im very glad you’re free, hope you’re doing well, happy holidays!

[@nilsbt3575]

I think it's safe to say that Muk is one of those Pokémon that can combine several roles in one team slot. It's well established at this point that Muk counts as a Horse, but we cannot ignore the self-evident truth that Muk is a Good Girl or Boy, allowing Muk to also fill the Dog role that any well-balanced team needs. Once this catches on with the Gen 3 OU playerbase, It seems plausible that Suicune might drop to UU, as Muk takes over its duties as canine win condition.

[@nicolasromani3523]

Golem, Swampert, Garchomp, Excadrill, Landorus-T, Great Tusk...all of them are Ground types. Ground is truly an elite type.

[@goddessaqua5022]

holy shit

[@DanielMarty43]

Was looking for somebody who noticed too

[@AppleBiscuits]

eight fucking ground types "holy shit" -heatran

[@Rarest26]

And Heatran is surrounded by them

[@Electric999999]

Electric Immunity, STAB Earthquake (arguably the best move, at least as far as damage dealing options go, 100 power with no downside is just better than every similar option). Hard to go wrong.

[@lightgazaret6825]

Out of all the quoted mons, only Cloyster is neither Ground or Steel type, interestingly.

[@rottengem]

Mfw over half of these are hazard control mons

[@atomichippy2]

I would like to take this time to nominate Revavroom for a space on the esteemed Horse Council. Not only does it learn High Horsepower, but as an engine, the best way to measure its power is by how many horses it contains. Therefore, Revavaroom is not just one horse, but an entire herd unto itself. Thankyou.

[@Arceus5555]

This is correct. You are correct. That’s the whole herd of horses and a buggy

[@SkadingleMadongle]

In the Koyukon language, spoken by the indigenous Koyukon people of Alaska, the term for horse is muk. Given this linguistic designation, there is no compelling reason to dispute the association of muk with the concept of a horse. Therefore I demand muk to be included into the horse council.

[@Forever-GM-Dusty]

Good news, it already has

[@SkadingleMadongle]

@Forever-GM-Dusty Why wasn't it allowed in the horse tournament then. Is it too much of a horse?

[@Forever-GM-Dusty]

@@SkadingleMadongle it was a more recent development than that tournament, unfortunately

[@vdun]

Thank you for this insight, SkadingleMadongle

[@xX_Goblin_King_Xx]

@@SkadingleMadongleThe tournament was Horse OU, Muk is banned to Horse Ubers

[@zzzzzzzzz7551]

"Wait, is Iron Mugulis just Primal Kyogre?" "Always has been, folks"

[@Electric999999]

No, it's completely different type and somehow in RU. With those stats and Quark Drive I can only conclude it has a truly terrible movepool.

[@zzzzzzzzz7551]

@Electric999999 I suspect even less options than Gen 8 Regieleki

Pokemon that have high usage in Competitive are often the central threats of a metagame.

[@TBB1216]

They’re not that inherently broken themselves

[@loupe500]

Ground type is such a cool typing. I mean, out of the 9 “balanced staples” on this video, 7 were ground types. That’s a 77% presence of ground types in this video. Such an honest, yet powerful, type. And even some of the honorable mentions from this video, like Gliscor in gen 6, is a ground type.

[@mgjvd]

Jimmy has been compromised by the criminal Iron Mugilis. This is not epic folks

[@90percentzebra]

I expected you to put an honorable mention on Primal Groudon for being that reliable ground type despite it being for ubers only

[@theducktdm536]

Love the jolly intros jimmy! Can you strike charmander with a super effective earthquake next?

[@Forever-GM-Dusty]

Don't encourage his villain arc

[@theducktdm536]

@ he needs to be struck down before he evolves and gains the flying type, by then itll be too late!

[@ReShaddoll]

Lando, I be doing the most

[@lottabee]

Storm Drain, why they stealing my flow!?

[@TheShinyFeraligatr]

The most reliable competitive pokemon all time is Zapdos, it's consistently Pretty Good.

[@RegrowRed]

I think mandibuzz is also a good pick for gen 8 with all the new ghost types like dragapult and spectrier (when it was legal), and the removal of pursuit buffing ghosts as well.

[@zero1343]

I really grew to like mandibuzz when I added it to a hail team around gen 8 as well. A solid pokemon through and through.

[@elianwyn]

My immediate thought when I saw the name of this video were two pokemon: Heatran and Tyranitar. I don't think there's ever been a case where I lost to those two that I felt like I was cheated or they were used in some kind of cheap or unfair way. They're strong and reliable but never oppressive or unfair. If you can't deal with either of them it's because your team isn't well thought out. I love those guys.

[@ginwilliam7763]

[@PapaNierForReplicant]

I believe Muk is the most reliable Pokemon of all time, especially during Mondays.

[@dilliondantin]

Would like to see a "most overrated in each gen/format" I've only played Gen 3 OU, but the example I would give is Ttar. Yes, it's *very* good... But the fact that everyone is lining up to give him a handy-J boggles my mind. It's not bulky enough to be super defensive, not strong enough to 1 hit almost anything without 2 turns of setting up first... There are so many move sets, that you're almost matchup fishing by using it. Even if you build the set to support the specific team it's on, there's a good chance that the enemy will have something that completely walls or bulldozes through it.

[@natejohnson1083]

I love ur videos bc the way u talk is calming and i love that you call the pokemon guys and fellows

[@persona1114]

In this regard I wanna give a shoutout to Tinkaton. Sadly, a balanced mon like them doesn't cut it anymore in OU (it's even viable there tho), but Gen9UU Tinkaton is probably the most blessed defensive/utility pokemon I've ever had the pleasure to use

[@TheHappyDude124]

I am excited to permanently add Pokémon Center: Muk Sitting Cuties Plush, 5 ½ inch to my vocabulary.

[@raphaelkgh218]

Same

[@Doron488]

It's interesting to note how many bulky ground types are featured on this list.

[@codenamezq8027]

Out of all the pokemon, generation 1's Cloyster, was the only one not needing the Ground or Steel typing. This is insane folks.

[@cebolimhagameplays6740]

one pokemon that immediately comes to mind is Incineroar, it's everywhere in competitive VGC

[@depression1006]

A well known horse mudstale is very reliable

[@summersnooze]

You could have gaslit me into believing that Iron Mugulis was not “something you created” for another 5 years and I would have kept believing it was a real Pokémon, I’ll be honest, the feeling of disillusion you just dropped on my head was unexpected.

[@Wobbuffet0]

6 Physical ground types? The ultimate glue mon!

[@JurassiChaos_2000]

Pokemon like Landorus, Great Tusk, and Dusk Mane are some of my favorite competitive Pokemon. They're like reliable handymen that can get multiple jobs done.

I cannot believe Ding Li Ren just lost to Gukesh Dommaraju in game 11 of the Classical Chess World Championship game. Needless to say I am shocked.

[@aldrichunfaithful3589]

i'd say iron treads is a better choice for gen 9, great tusk is very consistent but imo it's mostly good because it powercrept every bulky ground that came before it to such a ridiculous degree that it was always gonna be viable, while iron treads isn't particularly strong and just happens to fit nicely into the meta.

[@isnanesavant]

[@Legobatman_3]

alolan muk and mandibuzz are my favorite low usage mons, theyre both very reliable and are great allrounders

[@antassingh2991]

The fact that 6/9 of these are Ground types really goes to show how good and well balanced Ground type is

[@mymicisasian1410]

Do a "most reliable moves" maybe. Kind of interested to see what the types of the most reliable moves are in each gen.

[@mymicisasian1410]

Nevermind I'm stupid, stuff like defog or rapid spin would be quite easily the most reliable move.

[@joetalentoh]

I started playing in Gen 6 and it is not an exaggeration to say heatran was my security blanket. I threw that fellow on literally every team

[@HopUpOutDaBed]

I would give gen 1 to gengar. Gen 1 gengar to me is the ultimate utility mon, it provides sleep support, gives a useful normal immunity for pivoting/predicting explosions, it can do solid damage to just about everything but lacks STAB to be a true sweeper, and it can explode to dent something that's giving you trouble and potentially swing momentum. Any one of those things by itself probably wouldn't see usage, but combine them all and it's one of the top used mons.

[@funkymachine]

Adv Zapdos is the clearest candidate. You can use zapdos actually on every team and be fine. There's no fishing zapdos there never a time a 1 for 1 trade spike immune is bad. Swampert is targetable, if I see 100% pert I'm using hp grass tar.

[@DGFTardin]

6 out of 9 of them are ground types, and that is no coincidence

[@pantslesswrock]

For breakfast today I am having waffles and nutella toast

[@Abdus_VGC]

Iron Mugulis is back!!

[@Xinnou]

5:50 why did whirlwind fail?

[@Arceus5555]

Personally for gen 1 I’d argue Exeggutor is the best fit for the category. Maybe it’s too far up in viability to be counted, but every single moveset choice you have offers completely separate and often equally capable options for handling threats. He’s not the fastest but breaks past the 200 threshold, he’s got enough special that he can tank hits there, as well as get surprising mileage out of the 40bp mega drain (especially with the 33% psychic drops). He can sleep, he can stun, and his attack is big enough that your hyper beam or explosion can end most pokemon above and below you on the rankings. While Chansey easily handles paralysis by walling (especially with reflect) and Alakazam isn’t far behind with his fairly unique speed tier offering significant advantages in the late game where everything’s paralyzed, Exeggutor is one of the only pokemon in rby whose options, bulk, speed, and power allow him to gracefully handle that handicap. As long as you don’t get full para’d when you really needed to blow up, of course. Cloyster is a great pick, though I was surprised it was your choice, Wisest Jimothy. Great vid as usual xox

[@D_llusioner]

He’s just a chill guy

[@HesGotaGun505]

Than you for keeping the 3DS eShop music alive. 🛍️

[@aceman2383]

I think it’s interesting that this list includes 6 ground types, two steel types and one ice type

[@mmmapplesauce1673]

13:03 he dodged a bullet right there

[@Zeppongola]

I'd not realised Rapid Spin Golem was a gen-2 exclusive event 'mon. I wonder if it'd have seen any use in ADV OU if it learnt the move in that gen? It's quad weak to Giga Drain, so not really better against Gengar than Claydoll, and basically all of the common spinners except Starmie have Explosion IIRC, so that's not really a particular point in its favour... plus, heavily punished by the fairly common HP Grasses being thrown about. STAB earthquake and rock slide off a good attack stat is still pretty good though. I'd probably guess it wouldn't see any play outside of maybe replacing Rhydon in those rare para-spam teams, as a somewhat weaker alternative that at least brings Rapid Spin support. Being super slow with low spdef and a 4x weakness to a common special move is probably too much of a drawback for just being a spinner with some strong offense

[@Magic_Ice]

[@stephenbojangles8834]

[@banan9377]

I think Gen 1 should go to Starmie, Cloyster is less generally applicable to all teams compared to Starmie who is considered the 4th best after the Big 3. It's a great lead, can be the designated sleep sack, Thunder Wave cripples Tauros so it's risky for Tauros to switch in or stay, Ice Beam or Blizzard threatens freeze to Chansey and Snorlax, really good defensive utility due to stats and Recover, STAB Psychic for damage and special drop chance, access to Electric and STAB Water moves, plus it's fast which also translates to high crit rate. It's so versatile and it being strong but not part of the big 3 makes it so reliable because it's more expandable relative to the big 3, so Starmie is good for risky situations and has enough defense to survive almost any situation.

[@tecul1]

It should be Rhydon so the list has more ground types

[@luizfelipevbf5567]
