Politoed is a green, bipedal, amphibian Pokémon with yellow hands, belly, throat, and toes. It has a long, curled hair on top of its head and pink cheek spots that are smaller on the female than on the male.

[@jykatyk567]

The hair is perhaps meant to represent an ahoge, literally "foolish hair", a common trope seen in Anime to denote a character as "foolish"

[@s0mers4ult]

what other foolish frog would commit to maintaining one long curled hair atop it’s melon? i couldn’t name one.

[@FlaskFlash]

Unfortunate doesnt'...

[@Begeru]

Jirachi getting a taste of its own medicine

[@egbertmilton4003]

Lavos had a massive skill issue. Waterfall didn’t even flinch 3 times in a row, it only flinched 3 out of the five times used, which while stunning, isn’t a huge surprise given the whole 20% flinch Chance. The fact he decided to switch in his Gyrados first for some godforsaken reason just demonstrates his complete stupidity. After +1, if Jirachi had a choice scarf, it would outrun and KO the Gyrados by turn 2 before it could either get another Dragon Dance or attack. Jirachi would also live a +1 Waterfall, so that’s not a good excuse either. Lavos misplayed at the worst possible moment, and paid the price.

[@subtodicerat8305]

@@egbertmilton4003 waterfall has a 20% flinch chance

[@DJFracus]

@@egbertmilton4003 When you see the rare Gyarados lead in DPP it's usually Choice Band, because trying to set up with a lead is inherently inconsistent with an entire team of unknown Pokemon that can potentially answer it. You almost never see set up sweepers in the lead slot in DPP. So switching in his own Gyarados on the probable Waterfall or EQ was a reasonable move. Especially since DD doesn't actually gain attack because of Intimidate, so even in the rare case the Gyara DDs, the opportunity cost of scouting this is usually not too high (Jirachi would've been a fine answer into DD Gyara once DD was revealed, barring the flinch that happened, AND Breloom would've been fine too barring Gyara running Lum Berry). If you switch Jirachi in immediately you will get it chunked for most of its HP from CB Waterfall or EQ most of the time. You are speaking from the hindsight of knowing it was DD Gyara in the lead slot, which is a pretty weird choice of a lead... Plus you don't actually know if Lavos was running Scarfed Jirachi. TBH your flawed analysis, and lack of understanding of the plays made, kind of shows why you aren't as good at the game as Lavos was, who was a top player.

[@melindamuller4466]

I think it's a big deal that all Water types (except stuff like Magicarp) learn at least one fairly strong Ice type move, giving them always at least a neutral hit on the only type, that both resists water and hits it super effectively. Imagine how much stronger grass types are when they get rock or ground coverage!

[@Rpgreat]

Bigger deal is that their weaknesses are rarely offensive Pokémon

[@CoNteMpTone]

@@Rpgreatplus they are usually slow, so you can outrun them. And unless they oneshot you, which they dont, you usually twoshot them. Grass is straight up ass in early pokemon.

[@gregorymirabella1423]

Rotom and keldeo don't have good ice moves.

[@melindamuller4466]

@@gregorymirabella1423 Okay, but Rotom is a niche case, because base Rotom isn't a water type; like, Oricorio-Fire doesn't even get any normal Fire move like Flamethrower. Keldeo is a really odd case, you're right.

[@gregorymirabella1423]

@@melindamuller4466 i mean you said all water types, so i figured you considered rotom as well. and as strange as it is for keldeo to not learn ice beam, i'm absolutely NOT complaining about that.

[@AttitudeIndicator]

Magcargo shouldnt have been made a member of the horse council. Him being granted membership of the council was a disgraceful error in judgement which needs to be corrected. I support horseas motion to legalize a water move against this illegitimate horse council member!

[@mikau2123]

A motion that is heavily supported by Greevil is a motion that cannot carry through. Magcargo needs to enlist Zebstrika to the horse council to defend itself from the dastardly Horsea.

I love your videos, Jim. Every day checking your channel and the ADV for new uploads. Perfect to relax when going to bed, or getting up, or chilling on the couch 👍

[@egbertmilton4003]

Water should definitely get a weakness to poison. Like, pollutions much more damaging to animals living in the water, and the whole ecosystem of the water environments. The fact poison is only super effective against two types is criminal. And I know poison used to be good against bug, but I am more happy to see big spared from more weaknesses. Poison being good against water, grass and fairy is a good resume. It has good offensive output while still not being the greatest offensive typing, allowing it’s good defensive qualities to shine in turn

[@TheVengefulVadam]

You can see a reference to water pollution in GSC Celadon City. Grimer can be found in the small water patch while surfing.

[@JanusHoW]

The weaker types should all get moves that hit at least their usual resists super-effectively. Bug should get one for each of its resists, even if it doesn't make sense.

[@piplupfan71]

Because of this, water types have no trouble slotting into teams and complimenting your defensive core.

[@99sonder]

I feel like Amnesia was MADE for Slowbro in gen 1, not only does it make sense for one with a unique mind such as that to have a move where it just forgets what's going on, the fact it buffs the special pairs really well with its high defence, so if it gets off some Amnesia's, enemies have to choose between attacking its better defensive stat or attacking its boosted stat. Doesn't necessarily make it the best abuser of it, obviously. But it does feel like every benefit of it comes in handy for Slowbro, like even its low speed means it's less likely to gen 1 crit and thus cancel out the amnesia boosts for its hit.

[@victorAPR96]

5:40 akchshually, you only sleep for one turn when resting in gen 1, meaning it has the same effective duration as later gens.

[@Vivat_Veritas]

Hello Jimothy Cool. I do not know when we would expect a video on Electric Types in Competitive Pokemon, but I would like to submit a request for you to talk about my favourite fellow Pincurchin. Pincurchin is a new Pokemon from the Generation 8 games, who has the rare ability to set Electric Terrain upon switching in. In a generation devoid of Tapu Koko for some time, this was an exceptional tool and carved out a niche for itself with this and Rising Voltage, a funny move that doubled in power in Electric Terrain. In Generation 9, Pincurchin also used this ability to great effect with the introduction of the Iron Paradox forms, enabling their Quark Drive ability. Retaining access to Scald as well as having reliable recovery made this little guy exceptional. Please do not look at its tier in either of these generations, please, and believe me when I say this electric urchin is a wonderful Pokemon and worthy of your attention. Thank you.

[@nerdbrain396]

Gen 7 (and gen 8 and 9 national dex) manaphy is amazing with waterium z. Z rain dance boosts it's speed, breaking it out of it's middling speed tier and letting it out run most things. 1 tail glow into 1 z rain dance let's it out speed and blast with rain boosted surf. Hydration let's it cure paralysis that would otherwise cripple a set up sweeper. Energy ball for coverage to hit water types. One of my favorite sets of all time. Becomes even easier to pull of with screens support

[@RangerJackWalker]

Horsea shouldn’t even be in the horse council. This is a sham. You can’t just call yourself ‘Horse A’ and claim to be a horse. It doesn’t even learn any horse related moves.

[@timothylawrence8929]

Actually, Horsea did not adopt the name Horsea until after it was already accepted into the horse council. Prior to its acceptance, it went by the name of “Reginald”. Please do not rewrite history just to diminish the accomplishments of A Horse Formerly Known as Reginald. That being said, Horsea’s unethical actions against Magcargo in the present day are certainly worthy of rebuke.

[@honjon666]

A horse-A is a horse-A, you can't just say it's a claim

Its a sea horse, your comment is ridiculous. It's a perfectly legitimate decision made by the long-standing members of the horse council to grant horsea membership.

26:24 so cool‼️‼️ that’s my exact moveset for Gary‼️‼️ more than anything, I love setting up a D Dance, baiting Skarmory’s Whirlwind/Roar, but countering it with Taunt to farm even more boosts. By the time they counter with Zapdos/Jolteon/Aerodacyl/Magneton/Jirachi, it’s too late because I have HP Rock for Flying types and Earthquake for Electric/Rock/Steel. HP Flying sounds cool but I rarely got value out of it. My Gary does hate Claydol and Flygon tho

Swampert truly is a gem of a Pokemon. Mega Swampert is one of the most fun sweepers as well. It should really get Sap Sipper to keep up with the power creep of Gen 9. I'm not even sure it'd be OU with that but Swampert deserves to be in the mix. Maybe its own ability "Slippery Fellow" which halves damage from all contact moves
