Now that Scarlet and Violet introduced time travel, Froslass was able to go back in time, to the Gen 3 era. Since it was not able to stay, as it did not exist back then, it decided to teach its cousin Glalie some tricks in the time it had, to increase its viability in OU, and help with its low self esteem. Froslass’ efforts were apparently successful. I only hope Iron Mugulis/Iron Fellow don’t have any ill intents and are not waiting on the exact spot for Froslass’ arrival, only to kidnap it. That would truly be sad.
Glalie: *succeeds in Gen3 OU to the bafflement of everyone* Froslass: "I raised that boy. Now go make mom proud!" Glalie: "I'm actually your ancestor so-you know what, whatever, let's represent the Snorunt line!"
@@Holo_Phantom sorta I guess, but it was more of a joke to how historically bad most ice types were and having glalie rise is like a celebration or something. I didn't fully think it through
I once suggested this in discord and the “top” players mostly said hyper offense is not good in Gen 3. Skarmory is good because it can come in and put spikes up over and over and does more than just spiking… Nice to see an idea I had long ago have a strong niche now
a lot of players do feel that way, HO teams can feel inconsistent and Prediction reliant to some. But plenty of great players excel with aggressive teams, like Hclat and Triangles.

@@dotlillie Actually, Heal Bell is still in the game, but it's in a bit of a weird spot. The Chansey line is coded to learn it through breeding, but since there are currently no other Pokemon in SV that can learn it, you can't actually obtain or use it without hacking.
I really like it when you talk about past generations or weird niches. I feel like majority of people would not be interested in what's meta in the current generation.
Fun fact: Upon evolving, Ash's Glalie didn't lose a single match in the anime, in the worst case scenario he still tied against his toughest opponents. Glalie should be a top consideration for one of Ash's strongest Pokemon, and I feel like some of that energy rubbed off on Gen 3 OU.
I think this generation is still very alive because it's a sweetspot for those like myself who didn't follow Pokémon's newer gens, it's complex enough but not too much and you can easily play it in emulator.
Honestly, the one thing I would change about gen 3 is implementing the physical/special split. It's one of those things that's just straight-up an improvement from before, and the fact that literally just allowing pokemon to use moves of a type they want from their better offensive stat is the only thing I'd change about gen 3 says a lot about it.
@@romanscum5678 Jim addressed in a prior video how the absence of the split in Gen 3 can be positive as it allows a very unique meta compared to those after it. I tend to agree but it would be interesting to see gen 3 with the split
@@d4ws125 I kinda get where you're coming from, but the best reason to not have it in gen 3 imo is that it's not in the games, so it shouldn't be anywhere.

I wouldnt say outright hate, its more like they tried to use it saw how at best his stats are mid and he couldnt perform as well as other offensive ice types
I love how a game's meta evolves across time. This, Gen 1, and even games like Warcraft 3 and Smash Melee are perfect examples of why you don't need to rebalance your game every week or so to make it fair.
Wow Jim. If you can get Glalie, the most infamous moody user in the game, to make an honest living as an OU lead, then I’m sure you can teach Flamigo to change his ways too.
I love Gen 3 competitive so much. It genuinely feels like one of the most balanced metagames with some very fun and unique options to play with that aren't really a thing in other generations, like a genuine charizard in OU, balanced arena trap dugtrio, and hazards that aren't overwhelmingly prominent like stealth rocks are
Hoenn Gaiden's spike situation is interesting, quilfish gets access to thunder wave which it doesnt have until gen 4 normally, meaning anything you don't want to self destruct on you can cripple. Delibird gets spikes and is a good mixed attacker in its own right, and even crazier, heracross gets access to spikes which could be a nasty surprise. Golisopod, chesnaught, deoxys speed, and froslass are also there, and I dont know what they do but they're probably scary. It seems these bad matchups still mostly apply, however, which I think is really cool of the Hoenn Gaiden team to keep that aspect.
This is dope. I always liked Forretress for the spikes/explosion combo so Glalie fits right into my gen 3 ou teams. Basically trading good defense and typing for taunt and stab ice beam which is a decent trade.
Glalie is my favorite Pokémon. Seeing it being the pure definition of mid and still being used in OU is truly heart warming (even though it's an Ice type)
Gen 3 OU is the best example of why formats should live longer times. Especially for VGC. Having a format last only 3 months or so does not allow people to explore new options

Its cool that glalie is finally have some OU niche and it make sense in his debut gen because gen 3 is probably the most balanced generation that allows some lower tier pokemon have some niches in OU
Just discovered this channel. I've been watching a lot of these Gen 3 OU videos and while I've never been a competitive Pokemon Player, they make me feel validated to be a Gen 3 Baby. It brings me so much joy that my forever favorite childhood Pokemon Generation is still getting love all these years later. Both competitively and through ROM Hacks. From what little I know, Gen 3 is considered the most balanced Generation. Pretty much EVERYTHING can find a niche use. Yeah, no game with 386 Pokemon will be PERFECTLY balanced. Butterfree is never going to be one of the Top Dogs unless Game Freak gave it a ludicrous buff. But at LEAST it has a neat trick of Compoundeyes/Sleep Powder.
You can tell they tried to design mons around the physical special type system, like how Crawdaunt has a weirdly high SpAt for a physical attacker (compare it to Kingler for example) or Blaziken having both attacking stats be high so it can use both STABs. Many of them ended up being neither fast nor bulky as a result though.
"Smeargle also has no way to hit Gengar" wait a minute... (not meant seriously, I understand it's about a specific set, and Smeargle has atrocious attacking stats, etc.)
When I was a kid and I didn’t know about the base stat total I thought that Glalie was a beast. This video makes me feel slightly better about my childhood
3:14 A perfect example of how metagaming works. Despite being Steel type, Skarmory in gen 3 never uses Steel-type attacks, opting for Drill Peck as its only source of direct damage. Knowing this, the Glalie user never needs to fear Steel Wing.
The fact that you really randomly cover all Gens is amazing to me. 🤣🤣🤣 keep up the good work. Who is the next random Pokémon that’s doing good in a random tier?
I love Cofagrigus. It's been my favorite pokemon for so many years. I love its hilarious niche in OU in gen 7 of hard countering Medicham and Mega Lopunny. Sometimes I've even been able to beat aggressive teams that lack Dark Stab, or had they're dark stab pokemon already removed. Willo Wisp Painsplit Nightshade and Protect Just works wonders, and even incorporating a bit of Wish passing or Heal Bell support works wonders in its longevity. So much fun from the Funny Mummy
i used glalie since your previous videos using it and rly fell in love with it. in later gens i rly prefer HO, which gen 3 lacks unless u count BP. glalie has become the next closest thing
Glalie used to be my favorite Pokemon until Hydreigon took its' place. Glalie is still definitely my #2 GOAT. I was super happy when it got a mega evo in ORAS and seeing it do well in Gen3 OU now is really nice to see. Love my boy
It never made sense to me how ice types are considered to be exclusive to late game in Pokémon only. They have so many weaknesses, and one of the types they hit super effectively, dragon, also never gets seen early on. Game freak should add more ice types to their early routes, and glalie is actually a good candidate as it’s fully evolved stats aren’t too high
It wasn’t out but in 2022 vgc I found pretty fun niche use for lopunny as a support mon. Using lopunny to fake out and switcheroo like a normal support mon just with a high speed stat. Seems pretty bad in gen 8 when most support Mons need prankster to succeed. The key was healing wish. If you want more details let me know. Healing wish is super weird in doubles so it would be a bit to explain the full strat
@@thewisthersgames It was a team that used choice specs palkia to mess with sun and kyogre and zacian for general heavy offense that covered palkia's weaknesses well. Incineroar was the most consistent performer. If you don't know it's goal is to intimidate and pivot out with parting shot to completely nerf the foe's attacking prowess. It's just bulky enough to almost never die without me being able to pivot out. By pivoting out lopunny for a free switch I can then send in a fake out. Then from there, Lopunny can switcheroo or healing wish. Eventually, lopunny will healing wish. In case you don't know, The move fully heals the next mon you switch but faints the user. Obviously, there's a lot of benefit to getting incineroar the most consistent pokemon in the format back to full health and status cure. Better yet it could also be used on damaged palkia or zacian if the situation doesn't allow incineroar to come in. Lopunny is the fastest available healing wish user and its access to fake out and switcheroo klutz is incredible. Its fast enough to outspeed most restricted mons and this really helps it healing wish at the perfect time and use fast switcheroos to disrupt. The most interesting part though is pairing healing wish with ally switch. I won't go in detail on that part. Here's a great video that breaks down pairing ally switch and healing wish. th-cam.com/video/-4dbMrESUsg/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUYaGVhbGluZyB3aXNoIHBva2Vtb24gdmdj

I always thought it was weird how everyone said Glalie had garbage stats, I get base 80 isn't that impressive by gen 9 standards but back in gen 3 I thought it was at least decent enough to be usable.
In terms of the question about favorite niche picks, I will always be a sucker for ADV Lanturn. Lanturn Gang is one of my favorite memories in competitive Pokémon, and even though Lanturn is actually extremely terrible it was cool to be a part of that moment. It’s also just fun to use, and checks Starmie which is a Pokémon that I personally hate.
Favorite Niche OU Pokemon? Porygon RBY It is almost a Counter to Lax because It can PP Stall Lax out only on certain sets. If Lax goes boom on your Porygon, You won because you have the Opponent’s Lax out of the game. Also It uses tackle in the sets. So it’s extremely Funny.

I always thought it was weird how everyone said Glalie had garbage stats, I get base 80 isn't that impressive by gen 9 standards but back in gen 3 I thought it was at least decent enough to be usable.
Thanks Jim.
In terms of the question about favorite niche picks, I will always be a sucker for ADV Lanturn. Lanturn Gang is one of my favorite memories in competitive Pokémon, and even though Lanturn is actually extremely terrible it was cool to be a part of that moment. It’s also just fun to use, and checks Starmie which is a Pokémon that I personally hate.
My son, Lailie, Finally has a niche! I couldn’t be happier.
Wait garganacle escape? but how this is disastrous!!!
This can’t be right
now that's a basketball
Lets go finally get to use my favourite
I'm assuming since flamingo cannot break through the jail cell the bars are ghost bars
Excellent video.
Favorite Niche OU Pokemon?
Porygon RBY
It is almost a Counter to Lax because It can PP Stall Lax out only on certain sets.
If Lax goes boom on your Porygon, You won because you have the Opponent’s Lax out of the game. Also It uses tackle in the sets. So it’s extremely Funny.
now we're fkin talkin
indeed, a hype video
very interested in an emerald rogue stream so I hit that bell and turned on notifications!
Glalie gang
