If a car's power is measured by horses, and Revavroom is basically a car's engine, while also learning High Horsepower, then Revavroom should be in the horse council too.
In Gen 9 the pokemon company introduced paradox forms. In the same generation they introduce a technological sibling to the horse genre in revavroom. Though modern research revavroom has been reinterpreted as Iron Equine, truely a masterful work of forshadowing the future paradox mons in having them used as the boss mob of the evil team. As Iron Valient reflects both gaurd and gallade, Iron Equine represents all horses.
Fun fact: 1 Horsepower does not equate to the power/potential of 1 Horse... In reality it's something more like "1 Horse has 15-ish Horsepower" 🤨 Edit: Correction
Gust is actually not used by Pidgey in Route 1, because the small bird can only full-body tackle it's opponents until level 9, which is very sane, and makes sense

9:42 "no more gen 3 i promise" I can assure you, none of us would really mind a 20 minute long video of just weird gen 3 sets. Youre known as the gen 3 guy after all. Its what we're here for, its what we subbed for, and its what we expect a bulk of a vid if not all of it to be
I wonder what Muk will do with the money? Perhaps he will muck around with the big shots for a while. I hope he doesn't tangle with Gholdengo's Ancient Paradox form Old Money -- that one's not known for it's kindness.
The Gholdengo + Pecha Berry (Poison / Toxic cure) berrry + Trick is an ingenious trick (Pun intended). Not only does it removes the Poison Heal, but also the status applying item which can be turned around on another. If self-status abusers are a serious issue, a Lum Berry + Trick Gholdengo will not only debilitate poison healers, but also possibly Flame Orb Guts users or other similar sets.
That pecha berry goldengo is hilarious. And I'm absolutely stealing that skarmory set. Also don't ever forget about Z peck mamoswine. I literally don't even remember what it was used for anymore if I'm being honest but it was hype as hell. Thanks for this video honestly hope you do more niche moveset videos in the future. I really like the Pokemon gen breakdowns and the Pokemon individual breakdowns. But the off meta counter starts are one of my fav concepts in Pokemon so I really appreciate this video! Great video!
If I remember right Z peck was used as a way to ohko buzzwhole. Mamoswines also use to run peck in dp out to get Heracross since it didn’t really have a good 4th move if you were using a different stealth rocker
A Lum Berry Trick Gholdengo would do that on Poison Healers, but also self burn Guts abusers, or other potential self-status abusers. Flame Orb + Guts come to mind, if they ever get out of hand.
@@isuckatgaming1873 good as gold only protects from status moves, so yes, Gholdengo would get burned. You may be thinking of Garganacl's ability Purifying Salt which makes you immune to status conditions from any source.
Flygon actually learns Fly in gen 3 as well, but since it's a 2 turns move, it's easily avoided by the enemy, and since it makes physical contact, opposing to Gust, it can procc Breloom's effect spore and cripple itself.
I remember having fun with Psycho Shift on a bulky Sigilyph using Flame Orb in Gen 5. Not the best Pokemon but since it has Magic Guard it's not suffering from the Burn and it can just freely transfer burns to things as well as Whirlwind to shuffle things out for hazard damage. Also I love that Pecha Berry Trick Gholdengo tech.
This is why I love draft league formats so much. People running the craziest sets to counter specific threats, like power herb dig Shiftry to counter a Heatran. Or Heracross using natural gift while holding a pomeg berry to become an ice type move and super effectively hit a flying type that's incoming in on a switch
That Gholdengo Pecha Berry Trick was one of the funniest things I've seen in competitive Pokemon. I love hyper specific "fuck this Pokemon in particular" sets like that.
As a proud appletun enjoyer, I believe appletun should be a part of the horse council too. First of all, it can learn high horsepower using a TM. Secondly, it has a highly boopable nose just like any other horse pokemon. finally, it evolves from applin using an apple item, and according to minecraft horses love apples.
I don't think anyone else has used it, but in gen 7 pure hackmons, I used scarf arena trap Kartana with Oceanic Operetta to lure in shadow tag Primal Groudon once (Crabhammer isn't a guaranteed ohko while operetta is)
I have been into Pokemon since before the millenial year-shift, and I could barely understand the words, let alone the meaning of this suggestion. I trust it is really good, you seem confident, and they say presentation is key
I can't remember if it was from Gen 4 or 5 but I specifically remember a Special Garchomp set that was meant to punish its usual switch ins. I always thought it was pretty neat.
I ran fling light ball annihilape during the team star challenge. You fling the opposing revaroom and use EQ to knock them out. Max Spe Ape outspeeds a +2 para revaroom. I got a lot of easy wins of that set.
An average gen 9 NU player switching avalugg into a Ddance flygon thinking its going to take the hit and oneshot with avalance(Its actually mixed flygon with tera normal boomburst which then 6-0d the team totally not speaking from experience btw)
looks like he copypasted it from Smogon recommended sets and it recommonds 4 SpA EVs because Fire Blast is a move option for the 4th move, obviously you shouldn't use 4 SpA EVs if you don't have Fire Blast though
The Gholdengo one was really interesting. It’s so multilayered with the Toxic removal, Toxic immunity, and Toxic placement on a separate opposing Pokemon.
The fact that the Gen1 Pokemon Muk will inevitably receive 1 million USD despite Jimothy only reaching 100k subscribers proves once and for all that Muk carries the power of 10 within its beautiful sludge covered body. I am not aware of any other Pokemon able to do such feats. Truly incredible.
just wanted to say ive recently been using the almighty muk in the ru tier recently and he's been absolutely muktastic. truely a phenomenal pokemon indeed.
I love Scarf Skarm, been using that set way too much. An important thing you forgot to mention is that lead Azelf typically tries to taunt lead Skarm. This Skarm is eved to outspeed Azelf by 1, so you can spike as they try to taunt you, pretty much wasting their turn. Another funny interaction that happens sometimes is with lead scarf trick Azelf. They try to cripple your Skarm with a scarf and are in for a rude awakening.
Muk will have his political position boosted significantly with the sudden influx of capital generously donated by Jimothy Cool, I wonder if this will manage to secure him a leading position in the polls.
I don’t know if anybody has mentioned it yet but on the topic of Fling, Kyurem Black in flipping Ubers utilized it to great success and actually almost got on a suspect test because of it back in Gen 8 When Kyurem Black got introduced into Ubers, it was immediately OP until Necrozma Dusk Mane walled the crap out of it, and unless it dug into its Gen 5 roots with Earth Power, Necrozma just was not dying. By holding TR43 Fling would become a 130 base attack fire type move based off of Overheat, but stay physical so with a +1 attack from dragon dance, fling had a chance to do 91-105% damage in one go, and catching it on the switch would just chunk the Necrozma in the process anyways. It was so OP that many stall players clambered to ban Kyurem on the spot, but considering this was a one time fling and could be predicted it never went through. It was a genuinely viable strat for Xerneas teams to allow Kyurem to chunk the most viable wall then Xerneas (or Zacian) would come in and clean up
We all know that the Pokemon with the weirdest competitive build is Machamp, who is unable to enter any bodybuilding competition because it has 4 arms, making it unfair for the other participants.
I have an unorthodox Great Tusk with max speed investment and booster energy. Bulk Up + Rapid Spin + Headlong Rush + Knock Off - It is super niche and it's supposed to set up on rocks when the Gholdengo comes in to block rapid spin. 9 times out of 10 it is running air balloon, so that's what knock off is for. Nothing crazy, but it trips people up and it can easily get out of hand if left to continue stacking rapid spins and bulk ups.
looks like he copypasted it from Smogon recommended sets and it recommonds 4 SpA EVs because Fire Blast is a move option for the 4th move, obviously you shouldn't use 4 SpA EVs if you don't have Fire Blast though
I love doing weird and unusual things with my pokemon teams. I don't play competitive, but a friend and I have been going through the series, battling each other on occasion, and I love using moves that he wouldn't expect to deal with some of his members I usually normally couldn't with my team comp, like using Natural Gift with a berry to do have a fire type attack on my Leafeon to deal with a Scizor switch in, or Peck on Mamoswine to surprise his potential Heracross switch in
I've seen Snorlax in later gens run Crunch as their only damaging option for the same reason as HP Steel. Rest Talkers and multi boosting sets just don't have the room for more than one attacking move most of the time. Sigilyph uses Flame Orb Psycho Shift a ton due to its access to Magic Guard. I think the amount of immunities also helps a lot for Focus Punch sets. Opens up more and safer switch ins to the point of sometimes running into Pokemon that can't even hit you. Might do some more brainstorming on Focus Punch as a Ghost type option because its genuinely really good when paired with moves that encourage switches, such as Hypnosis, early gen Confuse Ray and even Mind Reader.
Jimothy (on Fling): "I like things [that give you a single use move option that you would normally not have]. Also Jimothy (on his favorite competitive generations): "I don't like Z-moves as a mechanic." I get not liking base 200 power moves though (even if explosion is everywhere in gen 3).
Another crazy set I’ve always liked is timid kartana. This thing has an unheard of attack stat, yet you go with a minus atk nature just to get a beast boost in speed
About to watch the video proper, but I need you to know that this thumbnail is _so_ funny. Flygon is so _exultant,_ and Breloom...they can't be mad; they're not even disappointed. Just, concerned. XD
I run Trailblaze T-Grass Seviper in Gen 9 OU and it gets work done. It needs help, like Sticky Web, but so does stuff like Kingambit or Gholdengo so they’re basically the same.
I feel like a cursetalk hidden power steel set would work really well in Swampert... you don't miss immunity because you have rest, and unlike Snorlax you have sand immunity 🤔 I'm gonna give it a shot
Everyone take a moment to praise the amazing player of Fake Gameplay, the true MVP of these videos. Somehow he always manages to be in battles that nicely underscore the point of the videos.
As someone who was using Tera Fighting Tera Blast Glowking before it became popular, I like to consider myself a trend setter. Future Sight baits in the obvious switch into a Dark type.. and often Kingambit is a prime target to eat that, especially against Glowking. So you just Tera Fighting Tera Blast on the switch and GGs
Honestly, I don't see why Goldengo couldn't just hold a Lum Berry, since it would also cover for other potential self-inflicting scenarios like Burn Orb sets. Even if those sets are less useful than specifically Toxic Orb Gliscor and thus less seen, it just provides more coverage against potential enemy teams than a Pecha Berry ever could. I also don't believe that people would actively go out of their way to have multiple of their Pokemon be of this archetype, so again, it is just more potential team coverage. The only time I could see a Pecha Berry being better than a Lum Berry, is if they have another of that same archetype as mentioned beforehand, or if you yourself already have a team based around inflicting things like Paralysis or Burn or whatnot. But other than that, Lum Berry is just better. That said, the sheer raw hater energy that putting a Pecha Berry on your Goldengo emits, is funny enough on it's own to warrant being the reason in-and-of-itself to use that over a Lum Berry. It is so petty it is funny.
Gholdengo has a better option than pecha berry, because there's Lum berry, because this not only blocks Gliscor's poison heal but also pokémon that have the ability Guts, commonly Ursaluna, Conkledurr and any etc and it heals all status effects.. it is a little bit annoying of course and can be only used once...
Wanna say that flame orb psycho shift is also used by sigilygh. But I believe it only really uses that set in Gen five but it’s actually better than cress’ because it gets magic guard. . Also raise your hand if you only found out about gusts secondary effect from this vid
Jimothy, what do you think about this video idea? A video about covering every „unnecessary pokemon“ or „pokemon nobody asked for“ or „most redundant pokemon of every gen“ you can implement the „play-through“ aspect of it or leave it out and focus on competitive only.
I think a new move that interacts with a Pokémon’s held item without using up the held item would be cool But it would have to be balanced so that holding a kings rock doesn’t turn the move into a 100% flinch move
Sigilyph was on gen 5 a really good psico shift abuser, with magic guard it didnt even take damage from burn. Cosmic power Stored Power psico shift and roost was a really good mid/late game sweeper that gen

In Gen 1 they did, but also gust was a Normal type move instead of Flying type

In competitive Pokémon, most popular builds on popular Pokémon will consist of the best options in the entire game
Think of choice specs dragapult with Draco meteor and shadow ball
Or Choice Scarf Landorus (Therian), with Earthquake and U-turn
These are expected item choices, or expected move choices, on popular and powerful Pokemon.

Chain Chomp, it's been used in multiple gens as a gimmick but originated in Gen 4 (in Diamond and Pearl when it was still legal in OU)

Even if those sets are less useful than specifically Toxic Orb Gliscor and thus less seen, it just provides more coverage against potential enemy teams than a Pecha Berry ever could.
I also don't believe that people would actively go out of their way to have multiple of their Pokemon be of this archetype, so again, it is just more potential team coverage.
The only time I could see a Pecha Berry being better than a Lum Berry, is if they have another of that same archetype as mentioned beforehand, or if you yourself already have a team based around inflicting things like Paralysis or Burn or whatnot.
But other than that, Lum Berry is just better.
That said, the sheer raw hater energy that putting a Pecha Berry on your Goldengo emits, is funny enough on it's own to warrant being the reason in-and-of-itself to use that over a Lum Berry.
It is so petty it is funny.
Gholdengo has a better option than pecha berry, because there's Lum berry, because this not only blocks Gliscor's poison heal but also pokémon that have the ability Guts, commonly Ursaluna, Conkledurr and any etc and it heals all status effects.. it is a little bit annoying of course and can be only used once...
Wanna say that flame orb psycho shift is also used by sigilygh. But I believe it only really uses that set in Gen five but it’s actually better than cress’ because it gets magic guard.

Also raise your hand if you only found out about gusts secondary effect from this vid
The grindset is here. Gl bud
Jimothy, what do you think about this video idea?
A video about covering every „unnecessary pokemon“ or „pokemon nobody asked for“ or „most redundant pokemon of every gen“
you can implement the „play-through“ aspect of it or leave it out and focus on competitive only.
I think a new move that interacts with a Pokémon’s held item without using up the held item would be cool
But it would have to be balanced so that holding a kings rock doesn’t turn the move into a 100% flinch move
This is insane.
Sigilyph was on gen 5 a really good psico shift abuser, with magic guard it didnt even take damage from burn. Cosmic power Stored Power psico shift and roost was a really good mid/late game sweeper that gen
“Starmie Claydol etc” me saying etc after using my only two examples
