The Koala's name is "Yookie" and he is a professional gamer.

Pokemon Competitive Singles has been turned on it's head with the release of the "Indigo Disk" DLC. The once overlooked Komala has had surprising success on an all new team for it's unique ability to reliably answer Status + Hex Dragapult. Beyond this Komala also provides the valuable utility of Knock Off, Rapid Spin and Wish.

The player Tio Chico has seen potential in these unique tools and used Komala all the way up to #9 on the Gen 9 OU Ladder.

Iron Mugulis and Iron Fellow know all about it.

Only Jim knows about the viability of Komala. All other sources of information are liars and are inaccurate.

Some will never figure out how to get Komala in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Komala Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Komala Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.

Arceus exists.

The below text is very relevant to many people.

Game Freak just blew all other online game development schools out of the water with this incredible new 2022 release. You're gonna need to get a game design degree online, and FAST, if you want to make a better game than this. Not even the best strategy games android reddit could hold a candle to this breathtaking Next generation competitive Pokemon experience.

Scream Tail is the Jigglypuff of our wildest dreams. It has been buffed with some higher statistics and the incredible ability, Protosynthesis. Gen 9 Competitive Pokemon wouldn't be the same without this powerful pink blob. He kinda looks like someone I met in one of my game design and development courses.

Gen 9 Pokemon Showdown is one of the greatest online gaming sites in history. From Pikachu and Charizard, to Palafin and Roaring Moon, The new Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, have introduced a lot of new faces. Can I succeed in one of the best android games of all time? If so, I'm gonna get myself a Walmart bakery Pokemon cake to celebrate.

Gholdengo is a Pokemon made of pure gold. He must have done some online business management courses to accumulate all that wealth. Or perhaps he might want to learn how to make money playing video games on YouTube. In any case, he's a powerful metagame force, with absolutely no interest in online game development schools.

    Also the first Pokemon to serve as US vice president
  • @ktoolsssb7080
    outrageous that komala is allowed to blatantly ignore the much maligned sleep ban to beat dragapult
  • @Sintra4
    Komala beats stall in its sleep.
  • Did you know that if you put a grass type Pokémon in front of Komala, it will not recognize it as a grass type? That is because it only ever encounters grass types in trees in the wild. You have to put a grass type in a tree before Komala's Ice Spinner can hit it super effectively. Just like real Koalas.

    If you snoose, you lose ❌ If you sleep, you sweep ✅
  • The Horse Council and its non stop media coverage has been a smokescreen for the koala kouncil
  • @m0nk3y8utt999
    Everyone is forgetting the true second Australian Pokémon, Heliolisk
  • @werbearjack
    There is a German saying "Wer schläft, macht nichts verkehrt." which means "Who sleeps does nothing wrong." and Komala thinks that is beautiful.
  • @AQW0RIDS
    I believe Krookodile can apply for the Australian animal council as he is designed after a crocodile, arguably a freshwater crocodile.
  • Pokemon whose Australian-ness should be investigated: Spiders, as another commentor has noted. Dodrio, since its design has similarities with cassowaries. Marowak, for its signature move Bonemerang. Magby, since it's based off of birds and sounds like magpie.
  • @thymeflies
    1:03 This is the Australian representation I can get behind.

  • @harb1ng3r82
    People rag on stall all the time which makes sense, it’s often frustrating to play against, but wanting a tier to have more creative options and hating stall are incongruous viewpoints imo because stall is the playstyle that finds the most use for overlooked, seemingly weak pokemon that happen to have one or two extremely crucial traits for he metagame.
  • @CodeMilkMan
    What about giant spiders like Ariados and Galvantula Jim? They also should be included in the australian agency.
  • @devinnall2284
    Komala's real problem is that it's weak to the gonorrhea status effect
  • I am always happy to see the little guys being used effectively. I hope we get a platypus or Tasmanian Devil Pokémon soon!
