Huge thanks to Knexhawk for making this video possible! There was originally a deal, that if he could reach number 1 on ladder with Muk, I would make a video on Muk. He managed to reach number 2 on ladder, but didn't climb any further with Muk, so I decided to just make the video anyways.

the kummer is king.
Muk on her ecaf
@@Stefan-ih9kdno. i said no.
@@natlus_ And he said on
I'm disappointed in you
I Love how a Gen 1 Pokemon that's barley gotten any help throughout the years still can be good in OU.
Its always cool when a meta shifts to make older, niche, pokemon more viable
Still wish they'd give him, and other older Mons, some buffs.
That is the great part of comp. pokemon
Yeah, Maractus is a niche check to kyogre so in formats where they're both viable it's something that really throws off people
@@andreivaldez2929 gamefreak: old pokemon buffs you say?
(buffs charizard again)
Never thought we’d see defensive Tera ice.
Defensive tera ice is super interesting on hydrapple, because despite being a stallmon, it also does tera ice to KO gliscor. Also what not ever taking damage from hazards does to a mon
tera ice to resist ice 🧊🧊🧊🧊🥶🥶🥶
Guess the school was right.
I really want a new Ice type Muk now lol
Great Tusk & Kingambit make Moltres an OU physical wall: *[I sleep]*
Muk fills a niche and rockets from ZU to OU: *_REAL $HIT?!!!_*
my theory is that muk was actually a good pokemon with good stats and good movepool (for the time), and its poison typing and lack of good recovery completely destroyed it.
I mean, particularly in generation one, pure poison is an atrocious typing.
@@blip_existspoison’s definitely a negative but it’s not as bad as it could be. While a psychic weakness is very bad it isn’t the worst weakness you can possibly have. Ice coverage is used on all of the big 3 in gen 1 in particular tauros uses blizzard on basically every set Snorlax uses both ice beam or blizzard sometimes and chansey likes ice beam a lot for fishing for freezes and it’s commonly used on number 4 best mon starmie and many other common offensively inclined threats like jynx which is a solid lead. Ice weakness is the single most crippling thing a type can have so I’d rather have pure poison then say dragon which offers little in exchange for being ice weak in gen 1’s meta
@@blip_existsNo viable/common bug, fighting, or poison attacks. Super uncommon grass attack in razor leaf. Psychics everywhere. Abysmal utility for a team in gen 1 despite good stats for the time.
Pure poison suffers from this thing called "everyone learns earthquake"
@@schroederluck7984 even better, in gen 1 bug is super effective against poison. Interestingly, poison is also super effective against bug in gen 1, which makes this the only time 2 types were super effective against each other.
hey i really like the aesthetic of your videos
Thank you!! Your videos are absolute fire!!!
Please give more Suezos Reverend
The 2 goats
Folks, it is Muk Monday
MUK MONDAY RAH RAH
*flashbacks* aaaaa
This is insane.
A king, visiting from the channel of Jimothy Cool himself.
This is insane.
As the gamers say, this is insane.
This must be the work of Jimothy Cool.
1:07 translation: I hope you like the spikes
Knowing that the friendly sludge monster is still viable makes me smile.
0:39 on this frame you can see a tiny bit of blue below Muk’s green screened animation that definitely wasn’t intentional.
That was indeed not intentional
I almost never play OU so it is always fun to take a look into the tier with videos like these. Also I love how creative you get with the backgrounds for the more heavily edited segments, considering that's something most would overlook (its me I'm most)
My favorite zu pile of goo
Sick rhyme!
"Hydrapple can handle the knockers that beat Gliscor."
i wish i was handling some knockers rn
💀
Gliscor, you OK over there?
Tera Ice to resist Ice is amazing
Very interesting video. And I really appreciate that you acknowledge that some people might dislike because they don't enjoy the content rather than brushing them off as haters. Keep up the good work bro
I'm glad the algorithm recommended me your channel! Your edits make your content really stand out amongst other poketubers!
Been cool watching this channel grow over the past year! Nice of the youtube algorithm to keep me updated
THATS MY GOAT HES BACK
WE ARE SO BACK
I just realized that because muk and alolan muk’s hands are up in a reverse order in relation to eachother when you put them side by side it looks like they are rapping against eachother.
This video was very well done. I thought I was coming into a troll post but it was presented well and you have a good speaking voice!
Learned something new
Keep it up! Might sub
Never thought I'd see Kantonian Muk of all things getting any play, especially when Alolan Muk has such a good typing.
Edit: Turns out instead of Sticky Hold, Alolan Muk gets Gluttony, so I guess that's why. I wonder if Alolan Muk would have been used instead of Kantonian Muk if it had Sticky Hold.
Its a maybe, as Muk enjoys resisting Fairy for Clefable and Valiant, but dark is nice for future sight, so 50/50.
cool tech, its great to see this guy up there.
Interesting analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
Folks, I do believe the saying goes: "Every Muk has its Monday", and it indeed looks like today is a Monday, regardless of what my Google-based calendar is telling me.
In a perfect world, every Pokèmon would have a usable niche like this. Great video!
never would i have though stall could be cool BECAUSE OF MUK
Stall right now is cool because of how it struggles in the meta, and thus needs to use weird mons to adapt, its pretty neat!
@@blip_exists yeah, like everything plays Dozo Bliss clod bla bla, the usual but i think all of this gets incredibly destroyed by a lot of things besides maybe non-gimmick-non-meta teams
Stall is unironically an underdog playstyle right now, you need to meet like 10 different conditions to have a viable Stall team
I just got a shiny muk and was searching more about sets for it. Knock Off absorber sounds really fun
Nice find with the shiny!
This is the best news ever, Muk is the fuckin goat
A uu pokemon in gen 1, got almost no buffs in 30 years and is now randomly OU. My king
hell nah superman in gen 9
Anything that makes stall better is my enemy.
Hazards rule the world
I think the wild thing about Muk is that Alolan Muk would have been better if it didn't trade sticky hold for gluttony
They'd probably both have some niche, but at least Knex thinks regular Muk would've been better. Dark Posion has less weaknesses, yes, but Muk's weaknesses aren't its main issue. Loosing its restiances to fairy and fighting however, are both huge, so its very 50/50 on which would be better
Instead of holding your stall team together with glue or cement, it holds it together with sticky sludge
updated link for the stall viability rankings?
I vvish there was a tier in smogon called cu, commonly used which would be place above uu
Jokes aside, CU is already a tier, its Comunnity Used!
It’s so strange how knock off went from a low distribution move to nowadays I’m always suprised how many rando pokemon get it
BEEN LOVING MUK SINCE DAY 1
Stall is based hatred of stall is rooted in a skill issue
"if you didn't, consider disliking and telling me what i could improve in the next video" what an absolute chad end card. Obviously i liked the video tho, all your videos are great!
would be nice if poison become inmune to fairy, bug no longer is resisted by fairy and being inmune to dark
I hope there's a rise in gastro acid users because of this
Drapion would have gone hard this gen
Gen 1 best 1
Muk has always been good.
Mumk
With the ability Stimcky Holmd
Muk is best Pokémon!!!!!!!!!!!!
nat dex
why not go tera steel to resist ice considering ice is literally the worst defensive type ever
Some people do that too, as well as tera fire. Tera ice was used in part because of tera blast, letting Hydrapple KO Gliscor. And ice isn't as bad as you would think for Hydrapple. Meowscarada doesn't carry any moves that are super effective to ice, and Hydrapple easily beats low kick weavile. It really just ends up that the defensive disadvantages of ice don't matter to hydrapple, and the offensive advantages are quite good.
I like how the only reason Ice is good is because Ice is ignored, and because there is a trend to make the route types weak to Ice particularly good sweepers. That is it. That is the only reason Ice justifies its existence.

Noob question: Why is no one using Swalot?
Some people actually are, mainly due to slighly higher physichal defense. However, it has much lower special bulk, which is important for Hex Darts dragapult, and has lower attack, meaning its worse against Ogerpon and Iron Valiant. So you trade a slightly better matchup against Meowscarada and Weavile for a worse matchup against most everything else.
Why does Muk not learn Recover? Lol
Is it Deh-fog or Dee-fog?
yes
@@blip_exists yes what?
@@Nako3 yes to both
@@blip_exists
muk backwards is
Kobra
Alomomola
So. Gunk shot, knock off, toxic and yawn?
BAN GHOLDENGO 💯💯💯
REAL
Oh yeah, you exist.
I do in fact, exist
No you don't, the government is lying to you. @@blip_exists
Muk went from ZU to OU viable because of its ability to allow stall teams to completely ignore hazards!
OU council: *Writing Gholdengo isn't a problem, Gholdengo isn't a problem, Gholdengo isn't a problem on the wall repeatedly.*
Very instructive 🫶🏼
I hate stall but when niece mons get used cause they fill an extremely specific gap i don’t mind it as much
Now spell it backwards
*CUM*
