Started noticing with Dragon Dance, Iron Head, Tera Blast, Earthquake, can one shot Corviknight and Dondozo with Tera Blast Electric, Earthquake kills Clodsire and Skeledirge, Iron Head was to nuke any fairies, if I predicted a Tera fairy.
Kingambit’s biggest blunder wasn’t its poor balancing, broken ability, hard hitting moveset, not learning the move final gambit, or optimized stat spread. It’s the fact there’s only one G forcing you to pronounce it as kin-gambit or king-ambit
Honestly the Kin-Gambit makes sense. Think about it: you're sacrificing your team (kin) for a high-risk strategy that has the potential to be favorable (gambit)
@Lh0000 generally, bishops are considered better than knights at 3.25 material, however, many consider the king to be worth more than those two at 3.5 material due to its power in endgames
@@twilightsilver6230 yes a king is more VALUABLE, but it’s still worse. It moves one space and MIGHT be able to take a piece directly next to it. In the same way that gold is more valuable then steel but nobody in there right mind would build a sword out of gold and expect the thing to survive a fight.
Kingambit reminds me a lot of Mega Mawile. Deals insane damage, very solid defensively thanks to Steel and/or Fairy-typing and good natural bulk, abuses the hell out of Sucker Punch to make up for low Speed, can run surprise coverage options to make switching in a gamble. I think they should've capped Supreme Overlord to be a 30% boost. It's not like any trainers in-game ever take advantage of the 50% boost anyways
The crazy thing is how Kingambit is sort of the glue that holds gen 9 ou together at this point. It checks so many things that would otherwise be absurdly broken like Gholdengo, that without Kingambit, the Uber tier would simply just overcrowd even more than it already has.
So there was a fake Gen 6 pokemon roster leak back in the day with one of the entries being "Ferrovine", an evolution to Ferrothorn that was seen by many as so completely ridiculous from a power level standpoint that the leaker lost all credibility (and was eventually proven fake, of course). Kingambit is like essentially the Ferrovine concept, but real.
So I just asked myself “yo what if you ran stone edge or ice spinner on tusk to catch tera fly swords dance” and the fact that neither of those moves come close to KOing a tera-fly gambit is a crime
The worst part of Supreme Overlord is if they nerf it to only trigger once like Intrepid Sword, Libero and other Abilities. It will just encourage Lategame Gambit shenanigans more
That sounds like a very bad way to nerf it anyway. And honestly, much like Gorilla Tactics, I believe the ability is fine on its own. It would've been a very nice buff for Honchkrow.
See your analysis are so perfect. Never too much hate, never too much glaze, always perfectly summing up the overall idea and mechanics behind these Pokémon and their designs. Good job.
Kingambit is still really usable in Regulation E VGC even though Urshifu remains a top threat. That really says it all. Defiant will be even more nuts once Incineroar comes back. Parting Shot on Defiant/Competitive is a +3, and even Intimidate's a +1. Also, can we just talk about how insane Gen 9 stat min-maxing is? Reducing Bisharp's speed that it never cared about (and actually buffs it to be good in Trick Room) and buffing every stat other than SpA that it also never cared about is obvious min-maxing powercreep. And, of course, we have the other standard recent powercreep nonsense in a signature ability (granted, not great in VGC but clearly broken in Singles) and a signature move. Balance has never been great, but this generation is clearly doing something very wrong even by Gamefreak standards.
Kinda true, like who tf designed flutter mane and iron hands? Good typing, broken stats and extremely good moveset. Another one, who decided lunar blessing on cresselia was a good idea😅 those are some whack decisions imo. Powercreep in this gen is too much
Some day they're going to have a pokemon with a built in ability to do a baton when it dies, so you have a pokemon that can give a guaranteed swords dance or an agility to kingambit
Actually the 1.5 boost of supreme overlord is with 4 mons, the first fainted mon is a 1.2 the a 0.1 is added following that, when kingambit is the last mon it has a 1.6 boost, a better choice band, and you can add a boosting item to that, like getting a 2.4 boost with a choice band, greater than gorilla tactics choice band(2.25)
@@FatherOfGrayI’m like 90% sure this isn’t true in the slightest. There’s a hard cap on the amount of boosts supreme overlord gives, that being a 50% bonus or 1.5x. There really isn’t that big of a difference tho. Additionally, the first mon being a 20% bonus makes no sense whatsoever, even if it is a bug in the code.
This presentation has made me question how on earth is Kingambit still in OU despite everything you mentioned in that powerpoint being true. Bisharp was already pretty good on its own, Kingambit has minmaxed stats, Supreme Overlord rewards losing Pokemon???, encountering Kingambit is a guaranteed coinflip, and Tera allows it to eliminate would-be checks. What on earth was GameFreak cooking when they made Kingambit. My gosh.
It's still in OU because it's basically the only thing keeping the meta from collapsing. It counters several other high-tier threats like Goldengo, which lets them stay in OU as well. It basically boils down to gen 9's additions almost all being absurdly overpowered, which would lead to an OU populated mostly by Pokémon from older regions if they actually did the sane thing for balance. They had to bite the bullet and let power creep exist, or they'd have to ban almost the entire roster of Paldean additions.
Well if Kingambit goes, then Gholdengo becomes even more obnoxious. Personally, I'd ban Supreme Overlord as an ability and ban Ghold. Now Kingambit is a powerful wallbreaker with a good ability instead of Yveltal's disciple.
To be honest before Kingambit I considered that Bisharp the Bisharp line had a lot of potential to become a psuedolegendary. It already appears really late in BW, a 3rd evolution from a pawn, to a minor piece to the King/Queen is just a natural progression of the line given its chess theme. All it needed was a reduction in stats from Pawniard and Bisharp and a move to the slow egg group and your basically set to have a male bulky tough wall/support Pokemon and a female strong and powerful sweeper Pokemon that finally break the dragon type trend in the psuedolegendary archetype again.
@@demi-femme4821if gambit goes then we still have Bisharp to deal with gholdengo. Additionally gholdengo has started running things like Tera fairy and Tera fighting in order to deal with gambit, making the meta even more of a coin flip. I’d say ban tera before doing anything to either of them.
They really should've made a separate evolution for Pawniard instead of an evolution for a mon that evolves at level 52, like it evolving into a Knight or Rook inspired chess piece instead.
I think the main thing that I believe is overtuned the most is Kingambit's bulk. 100/120/85 is quite a lot, especially compared to 65/100/70. Honestly, if they decide to raise the HP to 100, they shouldn't touch the defenses at all or add only like 5 points to them.
In fairness, the early days had chi yu, palafin, and annihilape in ou, so while Gambit wasn't Bad, it certainly wasn't the same tier of "offense against god" that the others were.
@@louc.6735 i've never fully understood, but like... why is annihilape busted? I genuinely don't fully know why. I know it's got a lot of health and power and has rage fist, but it can't be that busted, right?
@@logangoetz4319 precisely because of that said *Rage Fist*, it's also got access to taunt so it forces defensive mons to attack and boost the BP of the move
My issue is i can play nearly perfectly , only lose 1-2 mons, and straight up lose immediately because Gambit won the 50/50 against the only mon strong enough to one shot it on my team, and everything else has to hit it twice minimum on top of the 50/50s
I got Scarlet quite late after it released, but Kingambit was the only new Pokémon I didn’t know about. So it was awesome when I realised I could evolve my Bisharp into it. But idk about it in Competitive.
The worst part about all of this is that, even if you ban Kingambit, it still breaks things by existing at all...because Bisharp gained Eviolite. Eviolite Bisharp is absurdly good for so many teams.
I always put focus sash on kinggambit so I could survive any attacks so that on the final 1v1, it doesnt matter if my oponent thinks its a sucker punch, Id always use kowtow cleave and itll delete anyone with a swords dance boost
Yeah but it's generally not worth it because a majority of the roles a bulky Eviolite Bisharp could fulfill would be something Kingambit absolutely will with less investment and greater reward. Might be alright in lower tiers though.
@@QuestionableLogic_it's fine in lower tiers as a bulky eviolite sweeper but you could also just run life orb. It doesn't have recovery and not the best support move pool so imo it benefits more from just beating mons down. It's like how scyther prefers boots or choice items in NU.
Yes I’m earlier! I love this content, and appreciate you continue it. I always felt Pokémon videos similar to this used too much gameplay, which made it less worthwhile to watch videos. Since this presentation clearly focuses on Kingambit, it is more concise. It only being 2 minutes makes it a bite size video, that is just perfect. Excellent work! 😁😁😁
It’s insane just how op Kingambit is, like this thing, even though it’s not banned to Ubers it’s like a B+ tier in the tier anyway unlike a lot of the other Mons banned to Uber
THANK YOU, FUCKING THANK YOU. I hated this thing SO MUCH that I used BISHARP on my SV playthrough team, got it to lvl 90+, and used it to OK Kingambit. I have it saved on my switch and everything.
i got to top 400 on the OU ladder and so many games on the way there have been won due to extremely stupid sucker punch sweeps or having to read their sucker punches. balanced mon please dont ban
But guys, i see golurk as a counterpart to bisharp. If bisharp got an evolution, that means golurk might get one down the line. Trust Gamers. (i'm coping)
"You may have taken down all my allies but little do you know that's only strengthening me, now behold! My ultimate attack, TERA DARK SUCKER PUNCH! DIE!"
