The Kingambit 50/50
#pokemonshowdown #pokemon #competitivepokemon #kingambit
"Though it commands a massive army in battle, it’s not skilled at devising complex strategies. It just uses brute strength to keep pushing."
A video essay on the Sucker Punch 50/50, a situation where a player is forced to make a correct decision 8 times in a row, with the result being the win or loss of a battle. This videos style and tone was loosely inspired by the Magic the Gathering youtuber Rhystic studies, I highly recommend their channel: www.youtube.com/@RhysticStudies
BBG's Article: www.smogon.com/forums/threads/there-is-no-way-to-outplay-sucker-punch.3733939/
Replay Used at End: replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-2103271252
Also, clarification, when I said that I used high ladder replays for the video, that was mainly for looking at how 50/50's worked, the majority of replays in this video were from me battling myself.

The Maushold Paradox: Why Mausholds Greatest Weakness Is What Makes It Good

I absolutely adore Maushold, and this video is about an interesting interaction between Maushold and Gholdengo that I've noticed when using Maushold. Also, while this isn't super relevant, if Maushold gains more usage, its easy enough to adapt, and just run more rocky helmet. Pokemon with static or flame body can also work, but will likely be OHKO'd by population bomb. Maushold hasn't been good...

Some Pokemon are one trait away from being terrible, or at least much worse. Whether Garchomp's 102 base speed, or Ditto gaining the ability Imposter, without a single small trait, some Pokemon would loose all competitive relevancy.
