Steamed Hams? I thought you said we were having Steamed Clams, the paradox form of Cloyster.

Doh, no, he said Steamed Hams! It's a regional form.

[@vtubermissingno]

​uh huh. What region?

Uhhhh, upstate Unova.

​​@@remington238 really? Well I'm from Castelia and I've never heard of the regional forme Steamed Hams

[@remington238]

Oh not in Castelia. No, it's a Driftveil form.

[@MystMotone101]

Here’s a fun fact. Wynaut is the only Pokemon to be banned from OU, but be legal in Little Cup in the exact same generation (Gen 4).

I can't wait to use Steamed Hams in my copy of Pokémon Violet, I think it's odd that he can learn the moves Aurora Beam and Aurora Veil but whatever

[@atomichippy2]

Can I see it?

[@mandalorianhunter1]

@@atomichippy2 No

[@sheeplol2161]

but violet has future paradox forms and steamed hams would be a past paradox

[@chilitofu3512]

wyanut is the definition of “dont judge a book by it’s cover”

[@zhk964]

WhY NAUT?

[@Leo-nm1ne]

Except it's cover doesnt look bad at all. It's supposed to be a punching bag and it does just that

[@professionalrose6830]

Being trapped and pp staled by a wynaut is untill you KO yourself from struggle possibly a fate worse than death.

[@CoralReaper707]

Would've been even nastier if Wobbuffet got taunt and metal burst and/or even comeuppance.

[@vyktorehon5995]

I'm not sure but was one of the reasons because wynaut Vs wynaut was effectively an infinite battle in advanced because of struggle mechanics?

[@MrBoss71210]

you can't put leftovers on wynaut and wobuffet for this reason, even in Ubers

[@mattwalker5689]

@@MrBoss71210Gamefreak also made shadow tag users immune to the ability in gen 4 for this same reason.

​@@mattwalker5689 was it not gen 6?

[@majelalover8837]

@ no, that was in Gen4, Gen6 however made all ghost types immune to trapping abilities (which also guarantees ghost types to run away from wild battles)

[@geometryemperor]

Technically Wynaut was not an infinite battle, but it was so unrealistic that you might as well call it infinite. Which was why they implement that clause on Wynaut as well. Wobbufett was definitely an infinite battle though. Leftovers healed more than a Critical Hit Struggle would do.

[@magicalgirllaurie]

You know these paradox forms are quite similar to the ones they have at Crustle Burger

[@OswaldAurelia]

Nohoho, patented Spoink Burger. Ole family recipe

[@paddyquinlan3329]

I love how Steamed Hams is fire type but it's signature move Aurora Borealis gives it ice type coverage.

[@aa1_scratch_tutorials202]

the past paradox version of wynaut is wyes

[@jimothycool]

Will Dialga-Origin be any good in Gen 9? I'm not sure. But this video link has the definite answer. As friends, we can click the link and learn information together. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6jMlX-neJlkrrs

[@Gonna-Cry]

he was banned cuz... Wynaut? :)

[@abarette_]

"You find these Pokémon early on in the game" Wynaut: I'm about to end this man's whole carreer

[@furutapark]

Missed opportunity for Wynaut to respond to Mewtwo in the thumbnail with "why not"

[@penguinstar4249]

To this question I say; Wynaut?

[@ThirdXavier]

You didnt mention one of the biggest reasons it was banned was that in gen 3 shadow tag didnt stop you from getting trapped and the way Struggle damage was calculated was different, so if a wobb/wynaut with leftovers switched in on another one it would result in an endless battle stalemate Even in ubers you arent allowed to use leftovers on them for this exact reason

[@mr_snowy14]

The most important reason they we're banned in gen 3 is because 2 Shadow Tag pokemon could trap each other, forcing a draw if they both had leftovers.

[@windwaker0rules]

You didn't mention the worst thing about these two in gen 3, if you switch a Wobb into a Wobb both with leftys, the game softlocks because struggle does recoil based on damage before gen 4.

[@Eroil]

That's why lefties are banned from them in gen 3

[@BlackRaven6695]

The sheer denial of "go over 11 minutes for the ads" by Jimothy is such a chad move

[@foreversevenfold1666]

Can't wait to get my hands on steamed hams

[@twig7219]

Wobbuffet and Wynaut have the dubious distinction of being the first non-legendaries to be banned to Ubers ever iirc. Even before Garchomp.

[@shinyvictorcarp]

With steamed hams around, everyone is going to be running physical priority moves.

[@dVector13]

This is a significant development in the jimothy cinematic universe

[@kalarse]

Mine is Duskull, i used that fella a lot in gen5

[@nocturnenugget]

Steamed hams? I thought you said it was gonna be a past paradox form of clampurl called steamed clams, and what are you talking about? Steamed hams is clearly grilled

[@inchiostra6893]

at 3:55 when jimothy says "five" it sounds strangely vocoded and filtered

[@Lobster222]

a new jimcool video? at this time of day, in this part of the internet, localized entirely within the youtube platform?

[@murarmight]

Curious fact: Steamed Hams is RUBL because of its glaring weakness to common priority such as Mach Punch and Aqua Jet, even though looking at its stats you would think it’s OU

[@Dionaea_floridensis]

"good lord what is going on in there?!" "...future paradox Spoink"

You inspired me for a interesting change in a romhack, thanks.

[@tictacctical3030]

[@Gold-Dango]

I guess you can say the real reason why Wynaut is banned is because Wy Naut?

[@CoolbeansofGR]

babe wake up, new jimothy cool lore just dropped

[@tyruku18]

Could not believe that the entire Wynaut Family Line was straight up banned with their signature ability, Shadow Tag. I knew how much of a menace Wobboffet is but not Wynaut.

[@carucath97]

Didn’t realise paradox Spoink was from Albany (I didn’t think Albany existed a million years ago but I guess I was wrong)

[@randomdudeonyoutube3504]

Steamed hams is currently our only hope to stopping iron fellow

[@IkeReviews]

Pokemon home is coming on may 30th

[@MelodyBarrens]

Shadow Tag seems like a good idea, on paper. Switching out over and over and not attacking the Wobb is cheesy and hell and shouldn't be allowed. But giving it shadow tag is overcorrecting the problem so it becomes a new, worse problem... Maybe a compromise? If Shadow Tag only forced the foe to stay in for one move. Game freak really like's it's 'all or nothing' approaches, though.

[@LukeA471]

I thought you said we were getting Steamed Clams

[@starmic1852]

I thought they were banned because if both pokemon were a wobbufet/wynaut, the game would go on forever.

[@chess_fella]

Do you think Lickitung might get banned?

[@ih_2k2]

Wynaut recently spotted drinking chocolate milk out of Iron Mugulis. Trouble is coming.

[@mattduplak254]

I’ve been using Pikachu in gen 9 ubers. Tera normal with fake out and quick attack can be really disruptive, especially when you have hazards up

[@ShadowXeldron]

I don't know about Wynautt, but that Wubbofett caused me tons of trouble back in X and Y's Glittering Cave. I usually fainted at least once because of Destiny Bond, and that's if it didn't decimate large chunks of my team with Counter and Mirror Coat. Protip, bring a Ghost-type in the front of your team to Glittering Cave the next time you play X and Y. You'll thank me later.

[@IkeReviews]

Hopefully steamed hams doesn't get tricked by Iron mugulis

[@SuperUmizoomi]

to me both the shadow tag and high hp make wobbuffet pretty good to plop in front of a roaming legend and stall until you can use timer balls

[@Squirtle_Squad_Supremacy]

So Steamed Hams got the pre buff Pikachu stats in HP Atk Def and Mewtwo stats in special and speed

[@emberflameninetales3918]

ah yes, steamed hams does it continue bouncing after the steaming? does it have any ice-type moves? is it related to any delicious meals? so many questions

[@azaanmaqbool2282]

steamed hams is goated trust me he has his own signature move called "grilled ribs" where he sacrifices half his hp to priority one shot the opponents mon bypassing sturdy and sash and everything

[@OswaldAurelia]

Thats fair, but unfortunately resists generally live the hit and can hit back with their own priority, which will generally kill the frail Steamed Hams I know that Iron Donut, with its huge bulk and poison/water typing, can eat those ribs, up its spatk with a Berry then knock you out with a super effective belch

why is steamed hams' stats so misaligned?

[@daneroberts1996]

I’m still confused why they even made a pre-ego for Wobuffet…Wobuffet has a niche thing it does that nothing else can, why make a version of it that does the same thing but worse? At least give it an evolution that gives it more to do besides trap and reflect damage, or let’s it do that BETTER. It’s like if they made a pre-evo for Ditto and were like “it can transform into the enemy pokemon, but it’s stats are weaker”

[@OswaldAurelia]

Honestly wynaut still makes more sense than gotdamn Chingling
