There is something I think a lot of people forget when it comes to how the tiering system works. (Not accusing you, just a thought brought up by the video) There are plenty of lower tier pokemon that are very good even at the OU power level... but that isn't what defines a mon's tiering status. Usage statistics are. Despite the fact that the usage based tiering system will USUALLY have pokemon placed in the highest tier that they can preform in, that isn't always the case. The best example in my opinion is Gastrodon. It has almost exclusivly been a UU - RU ranked pokemon, but has had a very legitimate OU niche in every single generation. Or a more fun example, Zoroark(s); the original has excelent synergy with gengar as a disguise, and hisuian's immunities are very easy to make use of. Do they hit the hardest? No. The fastest? No. But if you know how to bluff it then you can easily blast games wide open. Hell this generation the og Zoroark got encore, which is incredible for dealing with set up mons that think they got in against a passive wall.

I remember when Tangrowth was RU in gen 6 and it suddenly shot up in usage after it was featured on a tournament team and ppl realized how good it was so it just kept ending up in OU from then on. 100/125 physical bulk with Regen+ decent offensive stats on both sides and a really wide movepool for a grass type (both offensively and support moves) are great. Even its base 50 Spdef isn't unusable since you can patch it up with an AV so it can take a hit from just about everything. Grass seems like bad defensive typing on paper but it helps take on Ground, Water, and Electric types which are all notoriously hard to switch into. I feel like at least in gen 6 and 7, RU had some hidden gems that had better viability in OU than UU. Rhypherior, Cofagrigus, Escavalier, Mega-Camerupt, etc.

Its somewhat common for lower tiered wallbreakers to be viable in OU. Mamo is a great example. The reason they don't get alot of usage is cause there's just so many pokemon that can play the role of wallbreaker. Mamo has a particularly nice set of qualities that keeps it relevant. Ice/ground stab, ice shard prio, knock off. Also its an ice type thats not completely defensively crippled by its typing due to thick fat and being neutral to stealth rock.

But if you close your eyes...

The power of love and homosexuality

I love the idea of looking back at older generations and reusing those ideas. This is why I think that False Swipe Gaming is such a good channel with their detailed histories on the competitive use of pokemon. They have given me many ideas that I have used before to varying successes. I think there is to gain from recycling previous sets. Why fix something that isn't necessarily broken. Very epic video and very impressive from Dragonite

I love how you're showing how each Pokémon has differences and then you get to Gliscor who is identical And of course, he said it about 3 seconds later

Tyranitar in OU: *Lord give me one more chance*

Tried and true strategy can still work wonders. I remember when I hadn't played OU for a while and I felt like being devious due to some bans I was mad about at the time, I brought back Gen6 Flynite in Gen 9 and I caught some poor souls in blind confusion. Obviously that wasn't as thoroughly examined as much as this, more like a funny anecdote, but my point is that this is an inspiration to many who teambuild I'm sure. Your experience still means something even with power creep if you want to play Gen 9

The new outro music is so cute 😍

Great video, I love the outro music!!

This is a competitive team from gen 5 OU, and this is a competitive team from gen 9 OU. You'll notice folks that the teams are exactly the same. But that's not big deal of course, we all know that we can use pokemon from old generations in new games.

I haven't played since gen 6 but I watch quite a bit of new competitive singles over the past year or so. I was wondering, why does Life Orb seem so much rarer now than it was back then?

@mr.sandman7339

5 ай бұрын

It's easier than ever to chip down the opponent while keeping your own mons healthy: 1.) Back in gen 6, we didn't have a hazard stacking metagame like we do now so it was easier to run LO when spikes were a lot more rare. 2.) We now have Terastalization which can be used defensively to get extra LO chip or flip a match up completely. 3.) there was no Boots+Regen spam stalling your progress while you get chipped down. 4.) There's not as much reliance on mixed attacking now versus just clicking a Banded or Specs move; resists don't matter as much if your moves and attacking stats are strong enough. 5.) Some mons just have better items now like all of the Paradox mons getting booster energy. 6.) Priority is everywhere and you don't want to suddenly be in range of an E-speed or Sucker punch bc of LO recoil. 7.) Longevity + Stat boosting is often better than just attacking in this meta, especially for something you want to be a wincon. For example, LO Weavile can dent teams pretty well as it slowly KOs itself with LO and hazards but Boots+SD Weavile is often more likely to sweep and end the game, esp with the aforementioned hazard support vs the opponent; this point is more role-dependent tbf but I still think it contributes to the lack of LO mons.

I encountered this team on ladder once. Pretty solid, but nothing groundbreaking
