Unbelievably, it's just a bit better than 50/50 to kill weavile and not lose mega medicham on that icicle crash turn. To be exact, the odds that icicle crash either misses, doesn't flinch, doesn't crit, or doesn't max roll and then the chance that medicham responds with an hjk that hits is 55.51%.
For those curious about the math: Odds to not crit: 15/16 Odds to not max roll: 7/8 Odds to not flinch: 7/10 Now we need to calculate the odds that none of this happens but only if icicle crash hits which is 90%. Odds of getting hit by IC and living: 51.68% Odds of not getting hit by IC: 10% Odds of having the chance to hjk: 61.68% Now we need to take into account the odds that hjk actually hits: 9/10 Odds that medicham survives and kills weavile: 55.51% But weavile doesn't kill medi in all the remaining scenarios. Odds that weavile hits and flinches, but doesn't crit or max roll: 22.15% Odds that weavile misses and medi misses: 1% Odds that both mons live, but medi takes a shit ton of damage: 23.15% Odds that medi dies: 21.34% Based on what we see here, empo would have been able to get a bunch of damage or kill medi without losing weavile in about 44.49% of outcomes, meaning that in those outcomes Joey either loses medi or gets pursuit trapped later. About 46.51% of the time, medi kills weavile but takes enough damage to die to any hit, in this situation he needs to keep hazards off and hope that he never misses another move because the response move is guaranteed to kill him. In the remaining 9% of situations, weavile misses and medi kills while staying healthy, game over.
With all this said, I think empo made a great decision staying in and going for IC. With torn and his own medi paralyzed, the only Mon who can outspeed Joey's medi is weavile. If empo loses weavile without doing a TON of damage to Joey's medi, the game is completely over, medi just out runs and kills everything. Given that, it would've taken an incredible read to risk losing the game completely on a pursuit. Going for IC with a 45% chance to win the game if Joey stays in is a very good outcome from that game state in my opinion. If Joey switches, then empo sacs torn later and brings in weavile later to run the same guessing game with empo then having a bit more to lose by not going for a big read.
If only Joey would have slammed the Weavile switch-in with HJK, as the reason Empo went into Weavile was to tank the predicted Ice Punch and threaten MM with Pursuit. Judging by your expert analysis, 55/45 are definitely not odds I would like in a clutch situation like this.

That icicle crash crit was insanely unlucky. Having Medicham in that game would’ve been a major tool into helping you win. You played great Joey! It’s always amazing to see these high level games.
loving the tour games, always a pleasure to watch, would also love to see you play the doubles tournament, its a fun tour and im sure with a bit of a practice you could make a good run.
Just want to throw my support behind you making all of this tournament content. It's been really entertaining to see another side of competitive play besides laddering.
You know what's maybe not great for tournament but is good for OU? Beheeyem, which Joey should use. Edit after vid: Beheeyem's telepathy ability is great in doubles. Spam surfs and quakes.
Yo! Following your content for years! I especcialy love that you often give spotlight to underrated poketubers (such as Blim) wich has helped to set very positive standards for this community with poketubers often collabing and working together. A few years back I got myself a Drop A Draco Sweater that I really love till this day. Unfortunatly the print has worn out over time and I want to show some support again and I'd like to get myself a new one. However I really liked the old design, Latias is my favorite pokemon and Latios is close enough :D, but I cannot buy it via Amazon anymore. Is there still a way to get one or are you maybe planning on dropping a new or similar design in the near future? Also is there a preffered platform you'd like us to buy from? Cheers from the Netherlands!
Much love! When it was live teespring was the only place to get it haha. Though i think they put ads on amazon and such. No plans for that merch atm since it was a limited run but maybe something in the future? Not entirely sure haha. Appreciate the years of support fam
Aim staying in on Weavile was definitely his worst play of the tour. Not only did he risk a flinch (which he didn’t mention) he had to acknowledge that there was a chance of it killing normally (1/8). Definitely easier to critique than play though he’s having a great run.
If they pursuit there i literally can never use medicham to secure a kill, as pursuit again kills. The odds were way more in my favor to stay in and kill than switch they pursuit and pursuit guarantees the kill later
Considering crit and flinch and OHKO it’s only a little better than 50/50 for aim. Not something you typically wanna go for. I just don’t know what else you can do. I guess the hope is you can wish pass to it, but that’s very wishful (😉) thinking
no way, fake out was free - letting it take the icicle crash was the unfortunate play. Your play of staying in on lando was equally a choke. It was closed up once everything got parad, medicham was the queen of the chessgame that just cleaned up from there.
Actually I suppose weavile can just pursuit later in the game, and always revenge kills if he gets at least one hit off. Perhaps staying in on crash was the play
@@gattabat Lando switching out was obvious tho, HJK would have done some nice damage to whatever switched in. I don't see how its a choke if you predict the switch out. Yeah the icicle crash crit was rough, but going for fake out was not the play.
I definitely enjoy watching old gen content, 7 is cool cuz of megas and z moves, national dex is cool for that reason too. would also be down to see even older stuff too tho like a gen 1 ou vid could be sick lol
The latter has a high chance to crit tbh, and icicle crash can still flinch. Joey made a big mistake not going for HJK on the Weavile switch in, he was playing perfectly before that misplay.
Why ice punch not bullet punch on medicham? Bullet punch+ fakeout increases the ko range by so much. Lando is a threat but hjk does like 40 and zen headbutt kills after + nobody is sending lando in when that mon can have ice punch.
Fam you keep asking and my answer remains the same, whenever we can actually sit down and record it. Literally have not been able to and idk when we will
I think the longest showdown tournament game was around 1500 turns, just because they were both running mega stall and one of them didnr have any way of winning but still didnt wanna concede
I won a 7 gen OU Tournament in 2019 and I had a great time I really liked to won that tournanent and I had some good memories I almost lost the second round but I beat my rival 2-1 and the other rounds were 2-0 despite all my opponents were too strong! I still remember the day I became a champion 07/09/19 one of the best days of my life!!!

honestly, looking back at gen 7. that gen was ass. z moves and megas promoted a sort of “burst damage” meta while gen 8 is more about momentum and boots making so many more things viable
I actually watched this a few minutes ago and seeing you and blunderr get packed quick was really something. Even seasoned champions still get haxed and outplayed leaving more room for improvement. If dudes who spent their life playing competitive mons can still get better then there's hope for people like me in the 1550s 🥲. Much love dude, congrats on making the finals
It goes to showing how much of mons is chance. Whether it’s a crit icicle crash or an unlucky double. You can be the best player in the world but certain plays can still cause a loss

But weavile doesn't kill medi in all the remaining scenarios.

Mega Medicham uses Pure Power in Competitive Gen 7 Pokémon. Here's why (8 arrows pointing each one at every arm)
Actually mega medicham runs telepathy so it takes less if it switches in on foul play.
