Pokemon Showdown Competitive Singles exists. ADV OU is the best format. This is a good description of the video you are viewing / just viewed.
Is this insane?
Skarmory, Metagross, Salamence, Tyranitar, and more, are members of the metagame.
The below text is very relevant to many people.
Game Freak just blew all other online game development schools out of the water with this incredible new 2022 release. You're gonna need to get a game design degree online, and FAST, if you want to make a better game than this. Not even the best strategy games android reddit could hold a candle to this breathtaking Next generation competitive Pokemon experience.
Scream Tail is the Jigglypuff of our wildest dreams. It has been buffed with some higher statistics and the incredible ability, Protosynthesis. Gen 9 Competitive Pokemon wouldn't be the same without this powerful pink blob. He kinda looks like someone I met in one of my game design and development courses.
Gen 9 Pokemon Showdown is one of the greatest online gaming sites in history. From Pikachu and Charizard, to Palafin and Roaring Moon, The new Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, have introduced a lot of new faces. Can I succeed in one of the best android games of all time? If so, I'm gonna get myself a Walmart bakery Pokemon cake to celebrate.
Gholdengo is a Pokemon made of pure gold. He must have done some online business management courses to accumulate all that wealth. Or perhaps he might want to learn how to make money playing video games on TH-cam. In any case, he's a powerful metagame force, with absolutely no interest in online game development schools.

You absolute fools the Zam would've died to Sand damage if I sent it in. Be smarter than this
Gen 3 alakazam is so funny because he has every move in existence and is not built to use most of them
Encore, Knock off, Recover, and I'mpretty sure he also learns Taunt. Bro wants to wall so bad 💔
fat zam only works into the fattest of fat and even then dugtrio own you unless you knock band. Encore is it only real util move
On all levels but tangible utility Alakazam is a great pokemon (in gen 3)
also has 4 moveslot syndrome. Jimmis set here I always felt that fire punch was better to lure steel types. But then you get walled by fire resists. But you cant miss any other move.
It’s also the only somewhat viable user of trick.
the banded shadow ball alakazam haunts Jim to this day. he creates a deranged set for the spoon man, with the hope to one day pay forward the psychological damage he and xatu once received
What video does this happen in?
@@thatoneguyUknow a real Xatu fan would know that the video in question is named Xatu Xunday.
Jim being in disbelief over a banded breloom, while at the same time bringing a alakazam with that set is poetry.
13:08
Jim - raise your hands if knew Metagross would use pursuit
Hindsight Heralds in chat - 🙋
My dumbass forgot it learnt Pursuit 😭
Never bring a teaspoon to a tablespoon fight
Very bold not to run a physical shadow ball set, it’s known to counter Xatu
It's funny how a sleeping Suicune is one of the scariest things in the tier. Let sleeping dogs lie they say. There's truth to that.
Suicune is a cat, and cats sleep for 14 hours a day.
suicune is dog
Suicune is a pokemon
Suicune is water
Suicune is fuckable
Jimothy calling the cute smiling Blissey a “stupid freak” and a “stupid idiot” was super funny. 24:20
What if gengar used rain dance to weather clear after a dugged tyranasif
That's probably a superior version of this very idea
players have even used that actually, pursuit tar comes in on rain dance thinking "what is going on" as gengar explodes next turn for the guaranteed dugtrio trap
Like Moses and the burning bush, Arceus spoke to Jimothy in a vision and told him to use Alakazam
I like to think the last team on the nidoqueen video inspired him
Alakazam is having just a spoonful of fun knocking fellows off.
Jim's explanation into demonstration around 1:30 is so fire. That's why he's the KING baby
alakazam is kind of horse like in the face
i will allways appreciate how jimmothy will respect his opponent in the thumbnail calling them gamer or something, most showdown youtubers allways call their opponents "SALTY LEGENDARY SPAMMER NOOB" or something to that effect
Alakazam, the PSI Pokemon, does not have the ability 'Pressure," which is something I would expect for good PSI
Jimothy: Creates an awful team
Jimothy: "This team is awful"
12:24 Synchronize not working on freeze is robbery
I think it's because you can't freeze ice types
Being a partial ice type is finally good for something.
Nah u can’t sync sleep or freeze because game freak doesn’t like counter play to the most powerful status’s
@@dominicpirola8240 I see, tho I still think you can't freeze them anyway
Ah good point wouldn't have worked on Cloyster anyways.
This is insane. My spoon told me to open TH-cam and be the first view on a new Jimothy Cool Alakazam video
And yet There is no spoon.
I was actually the first viewer but I wasted my time trying to think of the appropriate Alakazam alliteration
impeccable games of Alakasandless Jim, the Zam foresaw many freezes these matches
pretty sure the lead choice band breloom exists soley to bait all the lead dug andys
also lets you murder tyranitar, and give a heavy ass focus punch to skarm
Both of you are correct, that's what it's for haha.
Alakazam's German name is "Simsala". Do what you will with this knowledge.
Simsalabim
Mega Alakazam is occasionally known as "Bim"
This is a FIRE idea (I have never played gen 3 OU in my life)
today i learned you can use emojis in nicknames, I will definitely NOT be abusing this, by which I mean I will make all my pokemon named Fire Emoji.
🔥
I keep thinking the 🆗 for Claydol's name is that it's frozen. Even though that's not even where it goes lol
I think the zam has potential. Personally I’d consider either dropping recover for fire punch or both recover and hp grass for thunder/ice punch. Also I think maybe swapping knock off for a status move? If only zam had will-o-wisp and a better typing like a ghost typing for spinblocking. A fast special attacking ghost type with the two punches, status, and maybe explosion for blissey would go so hard here.
epic minute of anticipation before he actually explains the set in this video
15:56 usually I can recognize the songs you use in the background but I have no clue where this song is from
Spelunky Mines
Please join the next pokemon cypher. You would have the best bars.
not going zam at 42:30?

Garganacl is the most intelligently designed fictional creature of ALL. Everyone's favorite primate, Donkey Kong, found himself sandwiched in the Pyramids of Giza for too long, he became part of them! That sure is something.... don't you think?
the legendary OK claydol
🆗
I love this set, the idea of knock off into the Dug trap is so cool. I understand if you want to use a different Pokémon next vid but I think it would be worth practicing with this team to see if the Zam set is good. I might even try it myself.
You can try rain dance gar, rain dance as a suit tar comes in, boom for instant dug
@@tecul1 That misses Knock Off right?
Truly a bad luck Brian moment. I hope the next video will be you using that lead choice band breloom
Doesn't Jim have the wrong nature on Claydol ? I think you need to be -Atk and not -Sp.atk to 2hko Gengar with Psychic, especially with weather clear. Explosion damage doesn't matter as much since you have Dug in the back (ABR mentioned that iirc)
Edit : 23:25 Encore Alakazam on a defensive structure is quite decent actually. I ran into an Alakazam with Recover / Fire Punch/ HP Grass/ Encore that totally walled my Gengar and prevented me from clicking Will-o-Wisp. That's Houndoom privilege right there.
I usually avoid comments like this because I do not want to be perceived a Hindsight Harold, but does your Timid Alakazam not outspeed any Starmie at 42:30 and secure the revenge KO? I may be missing something. Can anyone confirm?
Alakazam was at 18%. If Jim brought it in, it would lose 16% to the spikes, then immediately die to the sand.
@@swagmaster2003 ah, of course, thank you! Jim was saying earlier that he couldn’t use it as a spike sac because the 3rd spike wasn’t down, but I did not consider that the sand would end him at the end of the turn. How unfortunate.
I love weirdo Gen 3 sets bravo Jim
The alakazam thought process is something that I might read from a post from SEA
Jim always has the most based choices of background music in his videos.
Based on what?
Bad Luck Brian is so beautiful and touching
i was today years old when i found out that alakazam learns knock off
i thought it was like a harriyama, sableye, armaldo and banette only thing
Why even put seismic toss on blissey if you're not going to use it? You know they're going to focus punch. It's free chip damage.
Hindsight Harold I was waiting for you.
What substance did you use to get a vision like that Alakazam set... maybe Fire Punch instead of Recover, that team gets absolutely farmed by Skarm??
Or maybe a more offensive set and weather clear on Suicune. Psychic/hp grass/fire punch/knock off.
This would make the team less passive. The problem is that you have committed a whole mon to weather clear and the team is ultimately very passive and like 2 of the mons even benefit from weather clear...
It's a cool concept tbh but I think you could refine it a bit more with a more unified gameplan. For example Knock Off + Spikes sounds great against Blissey, but if you weather clear, you have nothing to really get past it with an aggressive Dug like that. On the contrary, if you weather clear in that kind of situation, you lose your only real out against Bliss. CM Bliss completely farms your team too, but your opponents insisted on saccing it to the Dug so many times.
Bro i think you burnt down the kitchen on this one xD
Would you ever consider (if not already done), a deep dive on just the different suicune sets?
I’m pretty new to playing Gen3OU, and it’s kinda not clear when different sets for suicune are better to use on the team builder, given the other members already slotted in.
E.g,
* CM 3 attacks
(e.g, HP grass, Ice beam, hydro)
* Sub CM + 2 attacks
(E.g, ice beam, surf)
* Rest + CM + Roar + Surf
I get super Suicune is for more offensive teams, the rest + roar is good with defensive spikes teams, but idk what specific members you typically need for them to perform well.
I also know there’s good writeups on smogon, but some gen3 OU WU’s are clearly old, so I’m unsure if they’re still on point. (e.g, suggesting illegal BP sets on smeargle’s page).
This is insane and I'm here for the ride.
Jim, last game you could have just went zam on the low starmie. It was dead to spikes and zam out sped.
Maybe the better call for Zam in this shell is to drop recover for fire punch. That way Zam at least has some presence when you are not playing against fat teams and he still will do what you want him to against the fat. Namely, knock off a few guys so skarm bliss sui can win.
This is an Alakazam Adaptation folks. An adaptation to the meta.
Crash Bandicoot music goes hard =)
Please Jimothy, I need to know. Who is the furry creature I keep seeing between games
That's Entei
How does this team deal with CM Blissey?
No fire punch for the sun boost zam sets up? Perhaps Jims mind has grown too advanced for me
I can't believe this worked!
why not use zam to revenge kill starmie? is it not EV'd in speed?
We’re gaming folks
The Cbreloom. Isn't this insane?
... Not the top ladder player right at the end to send you in a pit of despair 😭 Most teams would have lost to that
They call him Valuekazam
My Dad heard me watching you and said you sounded like Ron Desantis.
What did Jim do to your dad to deserve such a brutal insult?
@glitchedoom nothing. That's just what he heard.
Isn't knockoff kinda worse explosion the way it plays out?
Yes
Since you have no fire moves or solar beam to benefit from Sunny Day, why not Rain Dance instead for the suicune synergy?
Was thinking I can 1v1 Pump Starmie
"Get Knocked!"
I’m wondering why Sunny Day over Rain Dance? This team has nothing that takes advantage of sun and it weakens Suicune’s surfs.
That itself might be the reason. A rain abuser like Kingdra seems like it'd be capable of a lot of damage against this team.
Have you considered if dugtrio learns rain dance
@@kayoh9364 Lets put Kingdra on the team then!
it does not
Choice band Breloom Lmao

Every time I click one of these videos this guy is just using blissey. 😂
😂

Can someone explain the tyranocif thing to me
basically its like tyranitar but tyranocif instead
