ive just discovered your channel and your bored half-awake delivery of all your jokes is exactly the kind of detached from reality struggle to enjoy life that i can relate to
Cuz then they set up their Tailwind and you're like "Oh, we're back to square one." Trick Room is sort of the same but at least you don't have to invest your team with speed in a TR set.
@@Anzyll…oh. I mean in hindsight that makes complete sense why it’s still dogwater in Singles, even after getting buffed. Half the time I think “oh it doesn’t last long enough”, but there’s so much bad with Tailwind as the worst team-defining field effect to go over: - There’s a point where Speed is a totally dead stat in a specific matchup, as opposed to raw power like the weathers and the side effects of building for Trick Room. Stall comes to mind immediately, but if all the opponent’s Bulky Offense Mons are slower than your HO team, the same thing happens. - It has no setters. Pincurchin, who got slightly nerfed into SV, still barely manages to not suck horribly even in current day Gen 9. There’s no Pokemon that sets Tailwind on the switch, period. - Choice Scarf exists. If your opponent wants to outspeed in Tailwind and also in general, it just costs an item. If you want your big dumb wallbreaker to go fast, it just costs an item. Side note and hot take, this item is probably a mistake in terms of the health of Singles, and if I could time travel and beat a developer with a pipe to not add it to Diamond and Pearl, I might just. This thing just makes the speed creep arms race worse by existing - And most of all, paralysis exists. It’s a status, so it doesn’t go away. It gets you free turns, so it’s not going to be totally dead in every matchup. Every Pokemon gets Thunderwave, so you don’t even need a niche Pokemon solely dedicated to setup
I don't know who designed Sirfetch'd, but I hope someone at gamefreak is pinning a medal to their chest. Everytime I look at Sirfetch'd I just want to quit my job and run away with it to live in a pond in the woods.
The random ass nerf that Intimidate got in Gen 8 where some C and B list abilities now block it was such a bizarre move. It only took them 5 gens to realize how silly Intimidate was and their solution was to tickle it just a bit.
apparently for gen 9 theyre going to make some abilities that already just naturally block it like contrary and defiant only work once so ig they want to buff intimidate after all
@@starduststriker8792 nah that wasn't true, they work like they always have. The only abilities that got nerfed are libero, protean, battle bond, intrepid sword and dauntless shield
4 choice bands and 2 tailwinds is peak teambuilding I'd rather have a big bowl of pasta with truffle shavings than a dish with 20 random ingredients. (truffle is tailwind, really cool and fancy but entirely not worth it)
A lot of great lines here but my favorite is 7:58 "I think my life is marginally better if I think that Bolt Strike does not make contact. It's just slightly less controlled by fear." By the way, it does make contact actually.
5:49 "Because the surprise goes a long way when you're using a Pokemon that's slightly too good for NU" This got me cackling hard enough to get family asking if I was ok.
It’s a shame Sirfetch’d is currently vacationing in the Bahamas, I’d love to see a replay with the pokemon with the two biggest things (him and Tinkaton) working together.
grassy glide on anything besides rillaboom is based because i genuinely had no idea til a month ago that grassy glide wasn't just the rillaboom family signature move
crazy that banded brave bird vs landorus 2hkoes sirfetchd. also my computer was determined to make me say a 2hko on landlords so I guess birds of the working class rise up
I have taken to watching your videos nearly on loop. Your deadpan delivery, your fantastic editing, it's all just the crack equivalent of serotonin content.
I’ve decided not to play gen9, and the only way I’m gonna find out about new Pokémon is through this channel. My perception is gon be skewed in the best way possible
I just got recommended your video about Pokemon Cryptids and I was kinda surprised you have so little subs because your editing is really good and the video really made me laugh I hope your channel blows tf up soon this shit is really entertaining
My favourite thing about Sirfetch'd is that when Game Freak went to the UK to find inspiration for the next generation of Pokemon designs they were apparently all gobsmacked by how large the Leeks in the country were, like that was their brainwave behind Sirfetch'd. Which I can't really blame because if I had to design a Mon for an America based game I would absolutely base one on the 1 time I went to America as a flyover, ordered a Large Soda at the airport Wendy's, and then spent 20 minutes in tears with my brother at how enormous it was. We were there like an hour and I couldn't finish it.
Just found your channel through algo putting you on my mainpage. I'd pay money if it would make such good predictions every time. I think if you keep it up you will get BIG
Ooh, a new reverend replay video? I'm sure Sirfetch'd will get along with the '-zolts, drag show, apex predator Barraskewda, and all the rest in the list of videos I watch way too much whenever I get bored.
wow i thought you wouldn't post leeks until after the new games released, should have known better :(
This is funnier than anything I said in the video
I just saw your name and profile pic and was really confused as to why a native English speaker made spelling mistakes and then I noticed🤣
ive just discovered your channel and your bored half-awake delivery of all your jokes is exactly the kind of detached from reality struggle to enjoy life that i can relate to
finally somebody put it into words
It’s called post irony
"Tailwind is like the best move in the game that completely sucks ass"
god you're so right
Cuz then they set up their Tailwind and you're like "Oh, we're back to square one."

sirfetchd is definitely one of the pokemon ever
hi pacmanboss256
yo

How do he combat so close when the stick so long?
He obviously bonks them with the handle, bro. Come on, obvious. Look at that bonker
The random ass nerf that Intimidate got in Gen 8 where some C and B list abilities now block it was such a bizarre move. It only took them 5 gens to realize how silly Intimidate was and their solution was to tickle it just a bit.
I feel like every couple months I learn that a new ability blocks it
apparently for gen 9 theyre going to make some abilities that already just naturally block it like contrary and defiant only work once so ig they want to buff intimidate after all

something primal and hilarious about the phrase "Future generations will call it 'The Reverend'"
I love how "If you give me a banana, I'll cry" sounds like a threat.
Sirfetch'd finally has competition for Biggest Thing with Tinkaton
sirfetch'd is like 3 inches taller
getting first impression in random battles makes me feel all good inside
You are the strongest gamer alive for making me actually want to play gen 8 again, godspeed
Sirfetchd strikes me as the type to not enjoy dried corn because they consider themselves above it
Sirfetch'd definitely eatin grubs
@Reverend shit dude me too i cant hold it against him
It’s a shame Sirfetch’d is currently vacationing in the Bahamas, I’d love to see a replay with the pokemon with the two biggest things (him and Tinkaton) working together.
Wow, that's a pretty fuckin big thing!
Also the main reason I'm excited for Gen9 is to see what shenanigans you're going to get into with the format.
Gen 8 Leeks > Gen 9 Leaks
The user attacks wildly with its thick leek. The user can't move on the next turn, because the force of this move makes it stagger.
I am in love with your deadpan delivery. It’s like exactly my sense of humor.
i wish i could forget everything about your videos so i could live again the experience of watching you for the first time
Gen 9 heads like myself are once again jumpscared by seeing a Pokemon that isn't Lokix use its signature move
“Snakes from dildos” is a great phrase
grassy glide on anything besides rillaboom is based because i genuinely had no idea til a month ago that grassy glide wasn't just the rillaboom family signature move
crazy that banded brave bird vs landorus 2hkoes sirfetchd. also my computer was determined to make me say a 2hko on landlords so I guess birds of the working class rise up
Landlords are also ohkoed by a plus 2 weavile ice shard
don't delete this one I wanna watch it
i goofed the other one
its so good you're actually releasing content n not waiting 4 years to make a new video ur shit is good
4:37 this video was posted on November 16th, 2022. As of today, 231 days later, do you like slowbro about 97 times as much?
I can’t stop watching these videos and linking them to everyone what have you done to me
Seeing sirfetched take 80% from his own brave bird is the funniest shit
coming back to this vid i just noticed creep by STP at 1:20 and now i respect you and your videos even more than i used to
I'm not kidding youre one of my favorite youtubers rn, funny pokemon content that isn't for kids is rare
regular reverend uploads? it's a thanksgiving miracle
I think I have the motivation to do about 2 a month for the foreseeable future
that lando set made my head expand.
"If you give me a banana I'll cry." That had me cackling with my headphones on.
Sorry to make your world a little worse and allow the specter of fear to loom over your waking mind, but bolt strike does indeed make contact
I pretend I do not see it
@@HumanReverend
That is probably for the best
This is the best stoner showdown content on TH-cam ong
1:51 I appreciate the sudden reappearance of This Guy.
Super forgot I was subbed to you but man your game knowledge and sense of humor are stellar. 😻
holy shit new showdown video from reverend time to watch it 5 times in a row
your content is what actually motivated me to try showdown so thanks ig
my day is instantly better when you post
Keep coming back to this video, it has such great energy. Can't wait until your channel blows up like Big Yellow
I have taken to watching your videos nearly on loop. Your deadpan delivery, your fantastic editing, it's all just the crack equivalent of serotonin content.
the literal only pokemon youtube channel. upload again
I’ve decided not to play gen9, and the only way I’m gonna find out about new Pokémon is through this channel. My perception is gon be skewed in the best way possible
Sirfetch'd never had the makings of a varsity athlete
I just got recommended your video about Pokemon Cryptids and I was kinda surprised you have so little subs because your editing is really good and the video really made me laugh
I hope your channel blows tf up soon this shit is really entertaining
I love your replay videos I'm glad you haven't dropped them yet, also mandatory sacrifice to the algorithm
Also you know someone is a real smash player when they use fucking facebook messenger
Messenger is better than discord tbh
Reverend deserves so much more for everything he does for us
Great video keep it up. I'm glad you decided to still do commentary videos.
Thank you for sounding like I feel every time violet crashes…
Pokemon is the only game in the world where you can realistically click the same move 4 turns in a row, and not get punished for it at all.
this is pretty much the best channel ive ever seen. great job
I’m glad I’m not the only one who dropped my gen 8 starter
I love your videos because they're funny and they keep the voices away 😁
Dude, your channel is so underrated. The jokes make me laugh my ass off.
Gen 8 was definitely one of the generations of pokemon. Perhaps gen 9 will be as well.
Gen 9 was indeed the generation of all time
Also now we know that submission gen 1 is the worst move thats good and tailwind gen 8 is your best move thats bad
Top tier nicknames. I especially enjoyed Bobby skar
The thing that really drives me to this channel is the fact that our voices are very close to identical.
ive been awake for an hour and this video made my day

To help with the tongue twister : it's actually niche pronounced knee-shh, there's no tricky T in there.
I think it's a southern thing. It's how Hank Hill says it.
early to a reverend upload... like waking up on christmas morning
I hope reverend puts that this guy pokemon in every video from now on like Pixar does with the pizza planet truck.
Bolt Strike makes contact :3
best pkmn nickname and video title fr
Sometimes the thought of first impressions wakes me up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night, but I did play a shit ton of gen7ru
Sonic CD US Stardust Speedway Bad Future 😩👌
I predict that your first gen 9 video will include… Landorus-T
bold
Just found your channel through algo putting you on my mainpage. I'd pay money if it would make such good predictions every time. I think if you keep it up you will get BIG
Clawitzer and Sirfetch'd got to be best buds right? They both got huge things, after all.
lmao at the first impression reveal
lets fucking go OU sirfetchd! great way to send off swsh
I like that thing SirGuy'd has
"I'm pretty sure there's not a pokemon that has a bigger thing" Tinkaton took offense to that
This came out before gen 9
@@breezeedraws I know, I'm saying it's funny that right after this we got a pokemon with a giant hammer
The leek is still taller
Savage bird. Almost Canadian Goose levels
Holy shit. I need a list of every pokemon that has a thing, in size order
sirfetch'd's Thing is just too large for the showdown devs
That's a rather big thing
You really quacked gen 8 OU.
Can't wait for your gen 9 videos because dear god I am not playing that shit
Ooh, a new reverend replay video? I'm sure Sirfetch'd will get along with the '-zolts, drag show, apex predator Barraskewda, and all the rest in the list of videos I watch way too much whenever I get bored.
When is Making Fetch Happen 2 dropping
I love the dry humor
Most Hung Pokémon of the Year
Anyone know the text-to-speech at 5:24?
how u maek backround funky on showdown?
Nice demoknight compilation
hi reverend, i think ur videos are good
Please keep making these. It's not your fault Susan has neglected you for so long
You did an entire sirfetched video without a "Bird Up!"? I feel a little betrayed
great duck
Based STP reference, subscribbled
Daddy Fetched also gets first impression, terra bug it and its bretty strong
Bolt Strike makes contact🌚
