They should give Psychic a resistance to Fairy types. Reasoning could be that psychic powers allow them to not fall for the tricks fairies are known to do in myth.
Also, with Peter Pan logic, we know that fairies die when you don’t believe in them. So it could also be argued that it could be super effective versus fairies.

Exeggutor makes a legitimate argument in favor of being the single most nerfed Pokémon in history. Pretty much every change made to Pokémon has made Exeggutor worse in every generation since its inception. Gen 2: Dark and Steel-Types added to the game, Pursuit added to the game, Celebi introduced to the series, Spikes added to the game, Sleep status nerfed, base Special Defense nerfed Gen 3: Tyranitar’s Sand Stream makes Chlorophyll hard to use, Spikes buffed, Sleep was nerfed again Gen 4: U-Turn added to the game, Stealth Rock added to the game (notably, Celebi learns this) Gen 5: Explosion nerfed, certain other Psychic-Types gained Magic Guard, Sleep moves banned from OU post-modern Gen 5 Gen 6: Chlorophyll indirectly nerfed via the Drought nerf, Grass-Types gain immunity to Sleep Powder, Hidden Power base power nerfed, Knock Off base power buffed, no Mega, Fairy-Types give Psychic-Types of a reason to be used (at least it gained a tiny bit of Special Defense back…?) Gen 7: Okay honestly Gen 7 didn’t hurt Exeggutor very much, and it likes Grassy and Psychic Surge’s additions as well as an Alolan form; that being said it dislikes the other two terrains and struggles with Z-Moves somewhat Gen 8: Grassy and Psychic Terrain nerfed, Heavy-Duty Boots improves viability for all of Fire, Ice, Bug, and Flying-Types while simultaneously increasing Knock Off usage Gen 9: Snow replaces Hail as another weather option, Tera makes it so other Pokémon can change into any Type that beats Exeggutor (which is several) or as a Grass-Type if only to block Sleep Powder
I wish he got better coverage and I miss explosion but I doubt that move unerfed would be any balanced in VGC (specifically on other mons). He should at least earthpower to hit steel types and maybe weather ball for chlorophyl sets.
I think psychic type needs a buff (an extra resistance and/or an other type to hit super effectively). Also sleep moves are banned in gen 9 which also applies in lower tiers where he is more viable.
It has come to my attention with some of these replies that Exeggutor is extremely overpowered and needs to be banned to Ubers immediately I will not accept the council’s anti-Exeggutor agenda
What do they need to be competitive? What I'm thinking 1. Immunity to every effect cured by Mental Herb (except Infatuation) as well as Intimidate 2. Immune to Confusion from certain moves (Swagger, Flatter, etc) 3. Priority and switching moves deal 1/2 damage to Psychics.
1:11:50 it was not only due to the change to Speed mechanics, but also because Mega Metagross destroys all Tapus, while simultaneously benefitting immensely from each of their Terrains: - Electric Terrain boosts the power of its Thunder Punch, which let it easily break previous checks such as Slowbro - Psychic Terrain boosts its Zen Headbutt, and also protects it from otherwise dangerous Sucker Punches - Grassy Terrain weakens EQs directed at it, making it even harder to revenge-kill - Misty Terrain prevents it from being crippled by paralysis or burn
The downsides to being psychic type in gen 1 are that you don't get normal stab and you get paralyzed by body slam. This is actually huge. Normal type is better than psychic in gen 1.
@@nothanksthough normal stab on body slam and hyper beam and boom, nothing runs fighting coverage in OU, only 1 good normal resist in OU, cant be paralyzed by body slam which lets reflect go crazy. I believe Reverend theorized that Mew would be better as a Normal type if we want to talk about ubers.
So mew wouldn’t be better as a Normal type, even if it’s most common set is Body slam hyper beam, it’s main job is to tank mew two and phara it. Without m2 in Ubers mew would be broken as a normal
I agree, but I feel like Bug is in contention here too. Starting in Gen 6, Bug is tied with Grass for having the worst offensive matchup spread at 3-7, and while U-Turn is a great move in its own right, the actual Bug-Type Pokémon exist alongside Fire and Ice as one of only three Types with a Stealth Rock weakness and vulnerability to Spikes, as Flying is immune to Spikes.
Thing is that many psychic types like Tapu Lele, Deoxys forms and Iron Crown get high based stats and good movepools which still means you often see psychic types in the top tier
@@danyg0000 I guess thats their way of balancing things, psychic types are often really strong, yes. Reminds me a bit of dragon, a better defensive type for sure, but offensively, its mostly the stats that carries the type, only hits one type for SE, itself. Thats actually quite mediocre imo.
I'm surprised you didn't mention that in gen 3 wobbufet is not allowed to hold leftovers. Mostly because if you and your opponent both have wobbufet on the field, neither of you will ever do enough damage to KO the other, and neither player can switch out because of shadow tag.
Nice video Mr Cool amazing work as always. You don't need to be a psychic to see that our future is much brighter with your informative videos. I am however here asking for your support once again in exposing the hardships that Raichu has suffered. On behalf of the F.E.A please help, thank you.
i'm taking this opportunity to campaign for gen 5 latios to be banned. all of its offensive tools are completely stupid and the only positive value it provides to the metagame is its "unique" defensive qualities, but do you know who's almost as good offensively while being even better defensively? latias. latias existing makes banning latios the easiest ban in the history of smogon, we literally lose nothing while gaining everything. latias would keep keldeo in check and hold latios' sand teams together, but psy spam and dragmag would lose their number 1 hitman who's been harassing us for years, and overall if we take out the most broken threat the metagame would become a lot more stable and balanced, there'd be less pressure on defensive cores and a lot more room to experiment
Blame the goons who thought it a good idea to place a legendary pokemon in the same league as normal pokemon. Latios, Jirachu, Landorus, Zapdos. Legendaries don't belong in competitive battles because they throw everything out of whack.
Sometimes when my depression is real bad I struggle to do stuff But I just pop on a Jimothy Vidothy and it makes it easier to shower, cook food, clean, get dressed, go to work Thanks Jim ☺️
I remember in school battling with a cable (because wifi and bluetooth werent a thing) and my freind group banned the move Psychic because on Alakazam it just felt auto kill playing Yellow/Gold. Then recently one of my freinds one hit ko'd my Alakazam with a Clefable in Sword and it hurt my soul how far it felt it had fallen.
Uxie was is great example of how hard knock off hurt the psychic type. It was great lower tier pokemon that even manged to hold on for abit after the buff. But by gen 8 when almost everything can learn knock off Uxie was bascially forced to hold colbur berry as its held item so it could actually do something in battle and this limted it so much it went from one of the best RU pokemon that had use in UU and OU in gen 7 to being untiered in gen 8
I wonder if Mewtwo still had 154 special defense and a move equivalent to gen 1 amnesia, would it still be good? Maybe not, but it would be nice to see as an homage to gen 1 Mewtwo. Make it happen Game Freak
Psychic IS a good move for Mewtwo in gen1 Ubers, but it’s actually kinda hard to slot in a lot of the time. With the Amnesia set you generally want Ice Beam and Thunderbolt along with Recover…this isn’t the one all be all set but I kinda feel like it’s probably the best
I'm old enough to remember competitive Gen 1 on the Gameboy. My mate basically had a team of only Psychic type and just crushed everything. Mewtwo, Alakazam, Starmie, Exeggutor, slowbro and Jynx (he would lovely kiss, then spam double team then psychic). It was not a good meta
mega sandwichtwo y haiosdf I hate that thing because of the awful movie and wasted potential story wise but haiosdf. eh. I liked using sandwichtwo x in ubers hasdfoi
With how weak the type is now, it's a wonder how psychics didn't go extinct. They must be breeding like Rattata. 6:21 It remembers everything according to its Pokedex descriptions, so it makes sense that it's just plain incapable of forgetting things.
Idk if this is a controversial opinion or not but i actually think in Gen 10 Steel should lose it's resistance to Psychic and maybe regain it's resistance to either Dark or Ghost.
Shadow Shield is actually a superior version of Multiscale. As many of us know, Mold Breaker-like abilities can ignore the effects of Multiscale, but they cannot pierce Shadow Shield.
Yep, this type definitely had the biggest drop in viability. Most good psychics in Gen2 and beyond are mostly good because of their secondary type, and it just got worse from there lol
I think the best bet is to make poison better. Makes a meh type better, makes psychic more relevant and make fairy a little weaker. Maybe its not that easy but I think it'd be neat
I do not believe Hatterene's psychic type hurts it Psychic fairy is manacing offensively, stab stored power or psyshock is awesome on CM kiss sets. Also quad resistance to close combat is very useful
1:14:10, image if Jimmy had a friend who was an expert in gen 6 just like George Harrison from Pawn Stars. And he had a red shirt and a black hat. That would be epic 😂😂😂😂
I seriously think one day Alakazam will have its moment in gen 3 OU. Calm mind plus decent elemental coverage, encore, knock off, trick + high speed, decent ability, insane speed and special attack. Obviously Ttar makes it 10x worse in the game but yea surely Alakazam can do something. Psychic type kinds nueters it.
Hats and more:

if lele where in gen 9 then iron crown and deoxys speed who'd be scary af
Do you think arena trap could be unbanned in the modern gen 9 meta game? As a potential check for Tera?
It’s weird why teleport was suddenly removed from sooooo many mons
the dislike is from an alakazam who missed focus blast
Has Iron Mugulis taken Horsea's domain now?
Alakazam , jolteon recently rose to ou in gen 2 , a niche that espeon has over jolteon in growth is that it can hit raikou preety hard
Could you add gameplay footage of the Pokémon you're talking about while going over their movesets?
Maplestory music so elite
Hey Jim
Why do they call it Tachyon Cutter?
Cuz it attachyon you twice
(Stole this joke from Moxie boosted)
I seriously think one day Alakazam will have its moment in gen 3 OU. Calm mind plus decent elemental coverage, encore, knock off, trick + high speed, decent ability, insane speed and special attack. Obviously Ttar makes it 10x worse in the game but yea surely Alakazam can do something. Psychic type kinds nueters it.
