Sadly, Trapinch's fate was almost certainly sealed by that ice beam click -- though it can be EV'd to survive: 252+ SpA Tyranitar Ice Beam vs. 168 HP / 252 SpD 30 IVs Trapinch: 231-272 (84.6 - 99.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO The necessary EV spread wouldn't secure a KO on defensive Celebi: 90+ Atk 30 IVs Choice Band Trapinch Hidden Power Bug vs. 252 HP / 124+ Def Celebi: 292-344 (72.2 - 85.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery But could secure one on offensive celebi: 90+ Atk 30 IVs Choice Band Trapinch Hidden Power Bug vs. 76 HP / 0 Def Celebi: 363-428 (100.8 - 118.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
I was blown away by the Armaldo game and then it gets immediately followed by a Trapinch moment. I have never seen gaming of this degree in my life before. Absolute peak cinema
I like that the thought process wasnt "Trapinch can survive one hit on full HP" but "Trapinch will outspeed TTar" truely the most Trapinch of all possible reasons
The two of you idiots sounded like three people at around 2:30. This is insane. Zetts has been an epic addition to the revival crew, and you can tell from his own channel how passionate he has become about adv. Tricast with goldmason when?
Aside from higher attack (maybe it can take out Celebi without chip?), it also learns Quick Attack, could give it some value if you're afraid of Salac sweepers
I always get so annoyed when people don't play to their outs at the end. What was asbolus hoping for there? His line had a literal 0% chance of winning
With 45 HP 45 Def vs dug's 35 and 50 they have similar bulk, so it's literally just dugtrio with 20 less (E: More!) attack that will always move slower. Very similar moveset too, though no beat up and you have to use gust instead of aerial ace if you wanna counter breloom. That said the most common fourth slot is quick attack, which is kinda nice for some frailer mons maybe
@@ciarzyx sorry yes I mistyped, 20 more. It seems like a /really/ hard sell. I wonder what specific ranges you can hit that that are worth the loss in speed? Something something not having to EV for speed? I dunno. The smogon page mentions out damaging blissey soft boils and that's it, but you lose to ice beam or counter
@@ciarzyx yeah, there's something there. This is the only range mentioned on the smogon page, tho you lose immediately to counter, ice beam, or hell even flamethrower (tho you could spec a lil more defence if that's your specific plan)
You give a trapinch, I take a trapmile. It’s simple
DD mega doo doo
Sorry! Deirdre Mangoodoo... Mengadoht 'mence!
“Trapinch range” is smth I didn’t expect to hear today
Sadly, Trapinch's fate was almost certainly sealed by that ice beam click -- though it can be EV'd to survive:
252+ SpA Tyranitar Ice Beam vs. 168 HP / 252 SpD 30 IVs Trapinch: 231-272 (84.6 - 99.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
The necessary EV spread wouldn't secure a KO on defensive Celebi:
90+ Atk 30 IVs Choice Band Trapinch Hidden Power Bug vs. 252 HP / 124+ Def Celebi: 292-344 (72.2 - 85.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
But could secure one on offensive celebi:
90+ Atk 30 IVs Choice Band Trapinch Hidden Power Bug vs. 76 HP / 0 Def Celebi: 363-428 (100.8 - 118.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
are we really doing trapinch calcs ? is this ADV ZU ?
@@TheMightyNaryar PU thankyou!
that mon is broken in pu even the trapinch calcs go hard
But would sub salac Trapinch outrun the Ttar there?
Did the math. Endure Salac Trapinch will not outrun a Ttar unless it has less than 148 speed investment.

That Armaldo game was crazy good
"We have Dugtrio at home"
Dugtrio at home :

Trapinch sets up a trap in a pinch...
Nice
15:37 is the kind of insightful commentary I've come to expect from this channel.
Trapinch stole my heart, he is the dude of all time. Absolute gigachad bring
No, he simply trapped it
is it less of a gigachad bring than Harden Armaldo though ?
Or the deadly duo of poliwrath and camerupt ?
It's trappening folks, this is insane
that 20 base attack over dug(until gen 7) let's go
This set is a thesis study on why gen 3 ou is the greatest singles competitive tier is the entire 3 decade history of pokemon.
little guy has entered the field
Jim AND zetts?!?! We eatin tonight boys
om nom nom
>I like eating crayons and smoking rocks
amazing
The Armaldo set was so cool. I used to use him all the time back in 2008 and 2009.
It is indeed possible for Trapinch to survive Ttar's Ice Beam but you need at least 252 EVs in HP and 136 in SpDef (assuming an Adamant nature)
LETS GOOOO ZETTS FEATURE.
let's fugging goooo
we're folks, gaming.
Poliwrath gaming!!!!!!
One of the best videos so far! Loved the games! I used once trapinch and dugtrio for double trap Haha, but just for meme
ilikeeatingrocks and smokingcrayons
-Jimothy Cool, 2024
This is the adv revival on a parallel dimension
It's Trapinch Thursday, folks.
It's trapinch tuesday folks
What a series! Game 1 was wild, every game was wild. Wtf is happening, I need a whole tournament of these two going at it.
21:54 The Dude
Trapinch achieving value, this is insane.
Jim, did you just waffle out “Dede Megadoodoo”?
These were all great games
This is Insane
Wow I remember the first gamer named EG Sato their clan tag (End Game) back from the PO (Pokemon Online) days around 2013. We're getting old folks!
Wailord is a deadly lead! I love it. Gooo Wailord Wednesday!
The two of you idiots sounded like three people at around 2:30. This is insane.
Zetts has been an epic addition to the revival crew, and you can tell from his own channel how passionate he has become about adv. Tricast with goldmason when?
Four absolute belters in this video.
I've been waiting to hear you two on a set. Lovely!
That moment when you realize trapinch has 20 more base attack than dug
As a sunflora enyojer, i applaud Svejk97 for his trapinch usage
Ladies and gentlemen it's Jimothy
OMG ZETTS, I SEE THIS AS AN ABSOLUTE OHIO DUB
Smoking rocks I think was smoking rocks
Insane game 1
Eating crayons? Smoking rocks? You should not do these things.
Game 1 was crazy
that poliwrath might be the best to ever do it
IGOR mentioned
lesgo nicki WOOO
trapinch is definitely the muad'-dib and deserves all of magneton's lifewater
Crobat represent
Can't believe I never noticed The Breathing Effect as teh background music
trapinch is the padishah emperor
Im so ready to play ladder this weekend and play against someone whos doing the Trapinch play.
I love this Wailord team in g1
not the first time I've seen Igor team names, I wonder if it was the same team
jim would you be interested in doing melee commentary
i don't think likeeatingcrayons knows that focus punch can be interrupted
7:25 "Next game, between I Like Eating Crayons And Smoking Rocks..." yeah but who's the other guy
craziest set in a minute btw, loved this one
Sadly Poliwrath dodging those two Rock Slides was completely overshadowed.
Tf was that last team. And why Trapinch?!
It's like dug but with 20 more attack! (And slow)
Aside from higher attack (maybe it can take out Celebi without chip?), it also learns Quick Attack, could give it some value if you're afraid of Salac sweepers
Why did you say engineered so many times this video lol
Trap broke celebi so cune could sweep, beautiful
I always get so annoyed when people don't play to their outs at the end. What was asbolus hoping for there? His line had a literal 0% chance of winning
Eq had like 2 pp
Trapinch actually only has 10 base speed. Bro can barely outrun Shuckle 💔

Actually it has 20 more attack than Dug! (Same base as flygon) so that's at least some niche @@tsawy6

Finally some new music instead of Jims stale little donkey kong tracks playing over and over
I think it would be fun if you got a person who knows absolutely nothing about Pokémon battles to commentate a set.
DD mega doo doo
