Why Chi-Yu is the STRONGEST Special Attacker in Pokemon History.

The Ancient Misdreavus "Flutter Mane" is perhaps the strongest of the new Paradox Pokemon in both Singles and Doubles. Here's Why. kzbin.info/www/bejne/raSqY4VphM9ofKc

It still astounds me how long it took Chi-yu to get banned.

[@doomknightsepulchure]

Part of it was because there were a bunch more broken threats near the start of the generation that overshadowed Chi-Yu, and then there was a long tera suspect that preempted any other tiering action even when everyone knew how messed up this thing was

[@suly5836]

He had the luck that smogon was bussier deciding on banning terrastalization or not.

​@@suly5836honestly I was disgusted by the fact they were deciding on banning Tera. It's literally the only interesting thing about Gen 9. Without it, we would just have the same boring battles as we have for some time. It's why a lot tend to shift to playing the game.

[@BatmannotBruceWayne1]

@@charlesbomerschein9707 the Tera suspect needed to happen, and will need to happen continuously throughout the gen. We need to determine whether it’s competitive over and over. Being disgusted at that shows a misunderstanding of what smogon is supposed to be

[@doomknightsepulchure]

Ting-Lu is definitely the best of the 4 in terms of competitive design. The offensive mons just click on STAB moves and Wo-Chien is sabotaged by its mediocre HP and horrible defensive typing. Ting-Lu gets balanced out by its lack of instant recovery, but has amazing utility, decent physical power and consistent damage from ruination, and insane bulk that makes it almost impossible to OHKO.

I was just shaken by the Chi Yu rampage in OU when the Tera Suspect was going on. I commented this on a earlier video where I decided to use tera dark dachsbun to try and foil Chi Yu’s psychic, cause what were my options?

[@floofzykitty5072]

the sad thing about Tera Dark Dachsbun is that even THAT doesn't really work. You take 50%+ on the switch in, and it relies on the Chi-Yu player assuming Dachsbun will get KO'd before it Body Presses (which I don't even think would OHKO since you'd still need to spec into HP/Sp.Def for Dark Pulse)

[@BadBoy-zy6of]

miraidon actually has the exact same damage output as chi yu, as both of their abilities boost their sp attack by 1/3, meaning a draco meteor from miraidon does the exact same damage as overheat from chi yu

[@usernametaken017]

tbf miradon comes with a free eletric terrain and 2 small fries deal, so it gets another boost. You'd need to set up sun for chi yu

[@theimprovedbore550]

I fear there may be an unfortunate development in the near future, assuming Quaquaval is able to free Sinistea and Pawmot agrees to use Revival Blessing on Great Tusk (Arceus rest his soul): As we all know, in the Great Purge of RUBL, Spidops was banished to NU, but the abominable arachnid was able to save the life of fellow bug Pokemon Rabsca, with the latter being blissfully unaware of Spidops' heinous war crimes earlier in the same battle. However, it is more than likely Spidops knew that Rabsca was the only other Pokémon that learns Revival Blessing, and calculated Rabsca being put in danger in the first place to gaslight the poor scarab. I have reason to believe that Spidops intends to further trick Rabsca into paying off a "debt" he owed, and if we do manage to eliminate the evil mastermind Iron Mugulis, _it_ may be revived to further continue its reign of terror. ...If anyone asks, _I was never here._ Good luck, Jim.

[@thepunisher6674]

Chi-you is such a ridiculous Pokémon there are Pokémon that can do more damage then it but all of them are either Ubers level Pokémon, so inconsistent at getting that damage it doesn’t even matter or they’re so flawed with low speed and defenses they’ll never get a chance to attack you, it really is amazing that this thing was ever allowed in OU

What happened to Quaquaval's offer to Rapid Spin the Sticky Web from Sinistea's feet? He stipulated his terms on previous videos and I'd like to see him follow through. Perhaps Jimothy is strategizing a pincer attack, or has Quaquaval dropped out of his commitment? I want to trust that he'll follow through but the situation is dire.

NGL I was fully expecting you to launch in to a rant about ADV OU and Gengar at the end

[@floofzykitty5072]

Chi-Yu's simplicity also lends to its' strengths. Pokemon that are simple can be melded to the meta game much easier than ones that have complex roles to fill. For example, Kartana is very similar to Chi-Yu in the way you use it. It was very easy to mold Kartana to the metagame because it does one thing so well that you can afford to lose some of its' strength for its' one job to easily distribute it to another, as was the case with Assault Vest Kartana. I highly suspect that we will be seeing some insane and seemingly nonsensical Chi-Yu sets.

Where are you getting Effective Base 197 Special Attack from?
