I disagree. I find that they’re only necessary in niche situations and outside of those cases it’s usually better to use something else. Thus, semicolons are the Quagsire of punctuation.
I once heard Hariyama is Ryan Gosling's favourite Pokémon, it is not surprising at all that it is indeed the absolute best and most dominating force in the rich environment of adv overused. Not even the mighty Roselia can catch up to this fabulous beast.
This is actually the perfect video for me to wake up to, as opposed to falling asleep to. It's as bracing and revitalizing as a Smellingsalt from Hariyama!
Considering Hariyama is ranked higher than several OU pokemon on the official viability ranks. If/when do you think it’ll receive the title of OU itself.
all my homies love hairy mama - shiny colours are pretty sexy too which is a very important aspect of teambuilding. here are some of my thoughts on yama; One aspect I really value is its ability to switch into an unknown Tyranitar without fear, which can only really be done otherwise by the likes of Milotic, Suicune and Swampert (you'll goin Swampert? Hidden Powa Grass Bitch). Yama can force switches / guarantee pressure with knock and while Milo and Suicune would probably force a switch in this situation, these options are probably going to sap your momentum (hypno Milo ftw?) if your opponent has options (which they probably do). Otherwise, you'd have to do some pivoting / protecting to scout its set, which can be a bit risky (coverage, dd). You still need an actual rock resist with Yama (preferably two) but with Wish (and hopefully spin) support you can functionally counter any non-punch Tyranitar. Its unusual stat distribution lends itself well to being a bulky attacker and all round cool mon - it can be defensively ev'd to eat pretty much anything and Pokémon like this are pretty fun to EV. I generally prefer Adamant (even on defensive) because: tl;dr; maths - needs 316 Atk to OHKO 252HP TTar w/ Stab Brick Break; 48+ or 160 EVs - the + nature here essentially gives 112 EVs thanks to its high base attack (120); a defensive nature (with maxed EVs; something something HP 1.2 ratio : defences) is equivalent to 84 EVs here (base 60s). You trade a little bulk for the KO guarantee (and 2HKO out of sand on Blissey) but the game and teambuilding is complicated - that amount of bulk could theoretically be the difference in a game and the guaranteed KO might matter, but is basically invalidated when a spike is added to the mix. It also means using brick break, which is a blessing and a curse; accuracy but the power and crit can be very useful. Finally, the synergy with Wish Mence that you touched on here and went over in the Star team analysis is awesome - Yama effectively resists Ice and can knock on a water, pressures Blissey, handles / can help to handle TTar. Intimidate and Wish are valuable tools, helping you pivot around and giving Yama longevity, with Toxic / Protect helping the long game. I think this pairing is awesome - Hariyama isn't seen too often but has some very valuable niches. Mence usually stars in an offensive role but its pseudo-legendary stats, useful ability and wide movepool serve to make it an interesting and, most importantly, viable defensive choice; Pokémon at its best.
Bro the people who play games online vs other players at least semi proficently are super smart. The number of posibilities in each turn is crazy. I wish these geniuses would be solving more real life problems. Forget ai.
Honest question: why isnt yama considered OU? I see it in tournaments at least as much as the less common OUs like porygon and flygon, and it seems even more consistent.
I know you normally don't make a ton of videos on past gen other tiers and make it more of a every now and then thing, but what are your thoughts on the Linoone ban in ADV UU? For a former ADV NU pokemon considered to be niche in NU at best to being banned from UU is a big jump to make
Thick fat, max Def/SpDef, KO/FP/rest/whirlwind wins me games all the time. If i win the game chances are yama is still alive. Ttar leads always switch so free focus punch/knock off or skarm lead taking out its leftovers is HUGE. Yama/blissey make a great def core on spikeless/stall teams.
Hariyama being UUBL and not OU has and always will be shocking to me. I've never played a game where Hariyama didn't contribute significantly. Teams up well with TSS, checks TSS, shreks Bliss, Tar, Gar (with HP Ghost), can deal with setup sweepers with whirlwind, and more. All this would make it a pretty good Poke, but with KO on top of that, it's just a solid option for many teams.
Could we get some fun teams of how a pro would design "mono gym leader" teams in the best way, that they have just a little competitive success? I really wonder if a e.g. mono water team could be successful (even if uts just a little)
Semicolons are the Ana de Armas of punctuation
I can appreciate your semicolon use.
The most attractive punctuation?
Trueee

The way you use semicolons is the way hollywood used ana de armas in blonde

less than three minutes in and we already have a tangent about a movie, gen 5 ou slander, and a “i need to make a video on that”, a true bkc video
I was using thick fat Hariyama in the gen 9 Chi-yu Chien-pao meta as my counter to both of them. He played his role well. I've always liked him.
That is art
Unfathomably based
genius really, disappointed i was too focused on clicking rage fist to thibk of this.
This is actually the perfect video for me to wake up to, as opposed to falling asleep to. It's as bracing and revitalizing as a Smellingsalt from Hariyama!
this dream sequence was amazing
I wish BKC would plug my 'interesting holes' with 70mm
The greatest take in mons history; yamabros must EAT
the ADV has risen
I watch a hariyama video, I load a hariyama sample team, I boot a ladder game and my hariyama is staring down a hariyama.
Considering Hariyama is ranked higher than several OU pokemon on the official viability ranks. If/when do you think it’ll receive the title of OU itself.
I don't think it ever can because adv is a past gen?
@@arkelon it can, it’s just not usage based, more viability based.
With storytelling skills like those, it's no wonder BKC's making a movie!
When will Hariyama be genuine OU? And are there Pokémons that are at risk of dropping to UUBL in ADV?

Armaldo wishes to be a hariyama
If only spin and knock was legal on the same set
I heard he is better in ubers , not really sure about it as i have never played gen 3 ubers.
Ryan gosling the goat for providing us with quality content
You know that the BKC video is going to be amazing when Ryan Gosling is involved in the intro
Been waiting for your Hariyama video forever
Hariyama has had a great few years lately, Iron Hands and this? Hariyama stays winning
All I can add to this is the nostalgia hit when I heard the Emerald Battle Frontier music in the background was something else. God, I love Emerald.
I have used Hariyama in every single one of my ADV teams for years. He is just a jack of all trades that got noticed wayyyy to late.
based
The blade runner background is fantastic. Hariyama truly is the Ryan gosling of ADV
As someone trying to get into adv ou, I appreciate this video a lot and will scour your other videos for this priceless info. Thanks BKC!
As a fellow Hariyama enthusiast, I can safely say that I am enthusiastic about this video!
that dream squence tho
Jerry: You don’t even know what hariyama making progress means do you?
Kramer: No, but hariyama does, and he’s the one making it!
A truly beautiful semicolon
As someone who doesn't keep track of celebrities: Every time you mention Ryan Gosling I think of Ryan the Mudkip, bursting into your room.
Bro the people who play games online vs other players at least semi proficently are super smart. The number of posibilities in each turn is crazy. I wish these geniuses would be solving more real life problems. Forget ai.
5 am bkc upload?? It's very convenient that I stayed up this late (early?). Have you ever played gen 5 nu?
a little bit when it was current gen (meaning jynx and scolipede destroyed everything)! fun tier
You really uploaded this now lmao iconic
Honest question: why isnt yama considered OU? I see it in tournaments at least as much as the less common OUs like porygon and flygon, and it seems even more consistent.
I don't think it's used often on ladder.

I've been waiting 2 long years for this video.
The Hariyama and Marowak team you showed in one of your videos is one of my favorites
Hariyama living on 1hp and then getting a ohko is peak
what if toxic and recover crit
*slaps roof of hariyama*
this bad boy can fit so many knockoffs in it
Someone likes Hariyama!
Hariyama being UUBL and not OU has and always will be shocking to me. I've never played a game where Hariyama didn't contribute significantly.

This man's seething hatred towards gen 5 ou is something to behold
What a good dream ❤
the bladerunner thumbnail is an agency classic
It’s time for “what if gen 3 ttar got knock off”
definitely more centralizing than skarm for sure
i am so here for the bkc/ ryan gosling cinematic crossover !
Notably, Hariyama oneshots lead Glalie (I think I haven't run the calcs)
with Focuspunch, CrossChop or BrickBreak? (yama can learn all 3)
I never thought you could use Ryan Gosling to fill the same niche as Iron Mugulis
Could we get some fun teams of how a pro would design "mono gym leader" teams in the best way, that they have just a little competitive success?
I really wonder if a e.g. mono water team could be successful (even if uts just a little)
We all just need a Ryan Gosling to set us up with an Ana De Armas
This is the last amount of Ryan Gosling involved in a BKC dream.
This intro was something else!
Yes thank you!
waiting with bated breath for the third adv ou hariyama video to drop
GOOOOOOD MORRRRNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What name did you go by on NetBattle?
i was hoping for 42 minutes of him talking about Oppenheimer
I can't believe; all this adv games where skarm just drops.
Bkc needs all this youtube money to pay for the film
first mon to do over a hariyamillion damage
I like your videos!!!
the clickbait is working bkc i clicked on this video immediately i can’t wait to find out why hariyama is the best
Is it bad I hoped the wasp came in for temporary chaos lol?
Excuse me mr BKC sir, I have a video idea suggestion for you.
Your dreams are amazing and I want to visit them. Hmu
Hariyama...RULEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!
this intro is better than creamcheese
Bkc are u czech?
yes!
have you considered the fact that Armaldo looks cooler
Smelling salts hariyama is a massive threat
Dear god Kevin this intro was art 😂😂😂
Of course if you love Oppenheimer you love gens 1-4 with the powerful booms there are 😂
You need to write down your script first. That way you can explore one idea properly, without changing subject halfway through.
knock it off
Bold claim magic man
3 seconds in you said you watched oppenheimer have you watched barbie yet?
BKC WATCHED OPPENHEIMER PEAK
“Sorry to jump back and forth, I know that might be jarring for some people; but this is the style” 😎 based
you ruined adv OU ladder because of this video, are you proud of yourself?
immeasurably (please send replays if you have any)
@@BKCplaysPokemon too ashamed to share because im sub 1500 still xD
