This is insane.
Iron Mugulis and Iron Fellow know all about it. Old Money doesn't know a thing.

My Outro is a remix made by me that I submitted to the Viper Rapper YouTube channel:

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

I'm hosting a $3000+ Gen 3 OU Tournament. Check out the commentary here: youtube.com/@jimothygaming/videos
-
Metagross facing a minor inconvenience (a bulky water) and immediately killing himself is real asf
-
It’s strange that you put oblivious and own tempo into the not relevant tier. Lickitung gets both of these abilities and is a top tier mon.
-
Magma Armor prevents Freeze, not crits. Genuinely a nice feature for a Pokemon like Camerupt who takes neutral from Ice.
-
Lightning Rod in Gen 3 is actually useless. All it does is draw in Electric-type attacks in a Double Battle and that's it. No Sp. Atk raise, no Electric immunity, those only became a thing in Gen 5 (same with Storm Drain)
-
The Droot ability is really critical for Groodon.
-
Magma Armor doesn't make you immune to crits, it makes you immune to freeze.
-
I honestly did not realize there were this many abilities in the gen 3 games. Also being the debut generation for abilities makes it seem even more impressive. This is insane.
-
Imagine if Inner Focus allowed not flinching during Focus Punch.
-
rough skin in UU makes Sharpedo the best offensive check to endure reversal/flail sweepers, in combination with endure by yourself, you can finish off these threats without dying by yourself and if the enemy reads that play they need a non contact move to continue the sweep, which hitmonlee and sycther surely will not have in their moveset. extremely funny it gets when sharpedo uses their own +SpA/Spe berry because they can morph themselves into a endure sweeper too.
-
Swarm has to be my favorite ability here. Yes, Heracross is insane and one of my favorites, but I think it's funny how starter types get these pinch abilities and for reasons bug gets it, but no other type. Gen 3 always felt like the most quirky gen to me, and I mean that lovingly lol
-
Effect spore has the potential to be detrimental, as it could trigger poison on a turn where you go for spore, making it a wasted turn and leaving a far weaker status on the opponent, which in the worst case could trigger guts on a pokemon you would've otherwise neutralized.
-
Ey buddy, just wanted to tell you that you're doing a terrific job cranking out all these videos day after day! You're fun to listen to and to see the first gen I ever played get so popular again has to be your doing. I salute you mr. Cool! Ps this is insane.
-
it’s interesting to see so many staple abilities from later generations that are bad or mediocre by virtue of just having no good users in gen 3–speed boost, rough skin, static, and flame body all come to mind. nice informative video jimothy, very cool
-
Gen 3 OU has an interesting balance of things that trap and eliminate one another, but without it becoming a rock-paper-scissors meta. Probably, due to the lower overall power level, not resulting in an unfavorable matchup or early play being a guaranteed loss.
-
Early Bird cuts the sleep turns from Rest down to 1, which is handy for something like Kangaskhan. Most everything else that gets the ability is too frail to make use of the quick Rest.
-
Always enjoy tier list videos, was a fun to listen to
-
Really enjoy and appreciate you somehow managing to pump out a daily video for us viewers! I hope you don't feel too obligated to do so. I admire your passion for the gen 3 meta, and your videos exploring all the other gen metas. Keep it up!
-
I think you can argue that Drought and Drizzle go in banworthy if you're looking it from an OU perspective, as if a non uber had them it would change the entire metagame and warp it around those weathers (especially rain). Similarly shadow tag isn't banned in ubers but is in OU
-
Medicham also benefits from the fact that Shadow Ball is a physical move in gen 3. It can use the combo of High Jump Kick and Shadow Ball in order to virtually hit everything at least neutrally. And being able to do that with an Attack stat higher than Rayquaza's is showing how monstruous it can be. It's although let down by its only above average Speed. Even though it's not slow for gen 3 standards by any means.
