Pokemon Competitive Singles in Gen 3 OU is a world where Jynx certainly exists.

Jynx is known as a staple of Gen 2 OU and Gen 1 OU, but in Gen 3 it is much less central. Jynx has occasionally been seen on Aggressive teams as a Sleep Lead with a lot of Offensive Firepower with Calm Mind and STAB Ice Beam.

Recently, Jynx has become a popular choice with Mean Look and Perish Song as an offense enabler among very high level players.

Is this a temporary fad? Or is Jynx gaming on the rise?

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 Jynx in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Jynx Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Jynx 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.

    7:23 The worst possible lead matchup for Jynx is jolly non-choice band flygon
  • > Gets knocked out turn 1 in it's feature video on Jimothy Gaming > Cover up video singing it's praises on the main channel Jim if Jinx is holding you hostage in an attempt to instigate a coup against the Horse Council blink twice
  • @ASwallie65
    Jinx is a lead that, 75% of the time, it works, every time.
  • @chester1882
    "The Rise of Jynx in Gen 3 OU" *In Jim's latest Jynx video*: Out sped and OKed by Jolly Flygon. Truly the meta works in mysterious ways.
  • I would like to see Jynx get better again. She was robbed of her evolution in Gen 4 (while Electabuzz and Magmar got one). And I hope they'll release the item "Heavy-Duty Boobs" for her.
  • @SlumberSnug
    I'm through the looking glass here, people. As any given meta ages, anti-meta threats will inherently pop up and become optimised, thus providing Jimothy Cool with an excuse to entertain us.
  • Jynx is a Gambit… like Kingambit… a QUEENGAMBIT!!! That’s it folks, when Gen 10 comes around, Jynx will finally receive an evolution, only achievable if a hatched Smoochum has Kingambit as its father (I don’t even know if Jynx and Gambit can breed). I’ve solved it, thanks Jim, you are indeed, very cool.
  • @kalarse
    I agree that Jynxs is an underrated mon, however, we are nervous for the lack of updates on the Horse Council drama. I hope that alongside other Jim subscribers, are rootng for Magcargo, but the suspense is driving us insane
  • @canaldecasta
    It always amushed me how cartoonishly low its defense is
  • @mandem2276
    Jynx is such an offensive lead, blowing the opponent a lovely kiss, blessing them with sweet dreams. Thank you Jynx for helping many to slumber soundly !
  • @cocoPls
    on the ladder, straight up Jynxing it, and by it, haha well lets just say, my lead matchups
  • @ktvx.94
    If Jynx doesn't want to switch out, Roar her.
  • @darko-man8549
    Psychic needs a bit of a buff, whilst dark and fairy need a check Dark just has access to so many good moves as well
  • Jynx is a really ugly Pokemon, but I gotta give her respect to her competitive career in the older generations. She is long overdue for an evolution in order to give her a redemption arc.
  • @kayoh9364
    I want to see a video on the meta development of Sand Attack Dugtrio and Leech Seed pass into Substitute Dugtrio. Even such an established piece of gen 3 OU seems to have new tricks showing up in the Jimvitational and that's beautiful.
  • I like the cute new sprites of the Pokémon in your new thumbnails.
  • Someone used a random pokemon in his tournnment. Jimothy Cool : "The rise of that underrated treat".
