An interesting video could very much be what made gliscor soo contested this gen. I feel like it just didn't be that impressive in past gens to warrant a bans, but now it's banned once and almost banned again
in previous gens it was seriously threatened by everything running hp ice so that kept it in check, but in gen 9 it's biggest weakness is gone and it gained a ton of new tools like tera water and spikes (it's amazing as a spikes setter since with toxic and eq it puts a ton of pressure on). losing roost wasn't a big deal since it recovers a ton of hp with protect anyway
Like everything in this gen, Tera makes it broken. Very few pokemon have been banned because they were outright broken in the base form (Chien-Pao, Chi-Yu, Magearna, etc). It's one of those defensive mons that can just stall out it's counters easily and be hard to get out of there. The only way to really break Gliscor easily, is to knock off it's orb. Otherwise, it's going to out heal most damage and is always a free switch into knock off. Plus, it has like 4-5 different sets it can run and that just makes it able to easily manipulate the game with tera.
@@ferrousoxide7806 Fascinating, you're probably right then. Though it could just be Iron Valiant's insane movepool that confuses the opponent into being lured than anything specific to lifeorb. Like, "Okay, he has a lifeorb, now what are the other 3 moves?" Because Valiant has a comically good movepool, he could have expected close combat (common on a lot of life orb val) instead of thunderbolt and thought moltress was safe then

it's been ages since i played gen 9 so i'm not sure if it's funny or tragic to see kingambit being just as annoying and dominant as its always been. out of all the dominant mons over the years like gen 1 tauros, gen 2 snorlax or gen 3 ttar and skarm i don't think there's ever been one that creates such awful gameplay, i don't even hate it for being strong it just feels pointless to even play when most games come down to sucker punch "predictions"
@@phillipanselmo8540 i'm gonna assume that's a joke about the evolution line rather than an actual comparison between sucker punch 50/50s and chess lol
I don't think the last person was saying they misclicked twice, I think only the SD was a misclick and either the first cleave was a predict for a switch or they meant to cleave twice to fish for a crit.
16:25; really wish you would have clicked knockoff. I understand you were thinking about Gliscor’s potential protect, but it would have crippled Gliscor to be without his toxic orb.
Gliscor should always click protect turn 1, you cant just click knock every time and pray that they don't. Also he obviously knows this and acknowledges it as it happens.
Oh cool, Smogon looking to ban the 200th mon in gen 9. Hilarious that defensive mons like Gliscor get banned while Kingambit and Gholdengo have avoided all testing for a year+

“you don’t misclick twice in a row” 😭
I once did due to input lag. Not just twice, but thrice in a row

I almost clicked encore against gholdengo… twice… against blunder 😭😭

Freezai talking about luring with life orb valiant like his opponent cant see him take life orb recoil after the first attack.
Because the Kyurem protected that turn, negating any recoil from lifeorb and keeping its set hidden...
@theshatteredseas he said it multiple times throughout the vid, and most of those times where after he had successfully attacked and taken recoil
@theshatteredseas for example at 23:51 he kills the Dragonite, takes recoil and then says life orb lured the enamourous.

Freezai coming back when the world needed him most
Love the OU content, just now becoming interested in OU on top of VGC so thank you for the video ❤
Master Freezai, welcome back
As a VGC player, I will never not shudder when I see an intimidate switching in on a kingambit
You have a weak mind.

Glad to see more people run adamant Ogerpon. It hits like a truck
Freezai in ou… never clicked on a video so fast
I don't think the last person was saying they misclicked twice, I think only the SD was a misclick and either the first cleave was a predict for a switch or they meant to cleave twice to fish for a crit.
Banning Gliscor before banning straight up legendary Pokemon in OU is comical
It's been a while since you've been laddering OU
Gliscor’s one of my favorite Pokémon, please don’t get him banned 😢
What does Freezai know about Nono Morikubo?
why is eject hat so common? im not really sure how to use it. is it just to pivot?
Yes, hyperoffence teams appreciate the momentum allowed by a free switch
It's good into uturn and hazard leads. You can't use rocks in fear of mbounce and if you use uturn YOU don't swap and they do
Why do you need a new account to qualify for voting?
probably so it’s players that have recentl played sv ou and know what the meta is like
I didnt even know this guy was being sus'd
they want to ban gliscor...?
my brother in christ, SAY HELLO TO KYUREMMMMMMMMM
Fine, ill do it myself
freezai is freeze dry your favourite move
Literally just open Tera solves every issue. So many bans 😭
finallyyyyy
Freezai I beg you, pls don't ban my boi
More Rand bats plz
I like this content bur I liked radom battles a lot more!
I dont know, is it?
(yes, kyurem is not close to enough and shouldnt be used as a reason to keep it when kyurem will be getting rebanned in the nearer future)

Me seeing the title: *confused vgc noices* (gliscor sucks in 2v2)
noooo not gliscor, I love the lil guy, he was such an underrated mon that finally got his spotlight, and he has so many sets he can run ;(
gliscor has been good in every gen its been it gang
The so called "underrated" mon when it has been incredible in OU every gen
@@SharpLCDTV you are correct I am big stupid boy, but please spare him
Imagine if some lone hero went on a campaign to ban Landorus once and for all and free us all from this eternal hellhole
Gliscor >>:>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Landorus
Landorus is fine. Doesn't get around quad weakness to Ice.
@@Goldeneye3336 G;iscor has the exact same ice weakness
As someone watching this late at night if dark mode exists for the UI please consider using it it’s too bright.
Love the OU content, but you also owe us the 4 remaining hours of your last series 😂
Gliscor ban would be so good! That mon is not healthy.
I honestly feel like roaring moon and ogerpon are more worthy of a ban in the current state of the game
We could ban all of them honestly
@@butteredsalmonellawhen everyone is Uber, no one is.
Idk about roar but waterpon is definitely up there
Oh cool, Smogon looking to ban the 200th mon in gen 9. Hilarious that defensive mons like Gliscor get banned while Kingambit and Gholdengo have avoided all testing for a year+
The absolute classic
bro what they already tested gambit.
nobody is campaigning to test gold right now, so of course its not happening ether
Smogon hates stall
The reason all these mons are awful to handle is Tera. Ou without Tera would have 20 less bans.
They need to ban tera already. It’s fun but insanely game breaking.
