PSA for some people in the comments who are confused about the nature of the video: this isn't trying to explain how Probopass is an universal Kingambit counter that you can just put into any team and have it work, this is highlighting how its set of traits allows it to have a very specific niche in OU

Also how the player with great knowledge specs his mons to cover each other, potential matchups and weaknesses. Everything in here is basically as peak as it gets with such a team. Rest is down to player skill level on how they pilot the team, reads on opponents moves etc.

It honestly fascinates me that the Steel type makes so many types better defensively than they usually are, all except the Rock type. You'd think putting 2 of the designated defensive types would be a powerful combination, but it just doesn't work most of the time. Ice is another one Steel can't save.

@krislee3155

23 күн бұрын

@Emma-rw8yo I didn't say that Ice was a defensive type, just that Steel can't save it like it does to a bunch of other types. GF is an enigma when it comes to the Ice type. It's very clear they didn't make Ice to be defensive yet they continue to make more bulkier Ice types. I mean, it's hard not to conceive Rock and Steel as the designated defensive types when, on average, they tend to have the highest defenses compared to the others and most resistances.

Man you know power creep is bad when PROBOPASS rises to the occasion

We have to have a video on how bodypress changed the game for so many defensive mons. The regis (specifically rock and steal) were given new light with insane defensive stats. The move going off of def and not atk means intimidate can be bypassed and you can actually kill incinaroar, pla for the love of god let stakataka back in gen 9 because I used a troom set with it and had little issues going against the menace.

@sora4440

25 күн бұрын

Levitate would make Probopass a decent mon. At least that gets rid of one of its 4x weakness...

something worth mentioning is that probopass is very obvious in what it wants to do, so a gambit player can bait it in with double switches or just save their gambit for the endgame which is what it wants to do anyway. probopass is specifically a counter to early/mid game gambit, and synergises well with this dark weak HO squad, but it's not a solid check that you should throw into balance teams

@Luzbel809

25 күн бұрын

Why a player would want to use their Gambit early in the game?

@aldrichunfaithful3589

25 күн бұрын

@@Luzbel809 the whole point of the probopass team is that it has a lot of threats which force gambit to come in early, and that's how probopass traps it. most teams don't stack multiple dark types, and gambit is by far the best dark type, so if you bring in sinistcha they don't have another solid way to respond, they either have to go gambit or let you run away with the game. so my point was it works well for this specific team, but like you say a lot of gambits don't come in early so if you can't force it in then probopass is pretty pointless.

I’ve always liked this pokemon, it getting body press is such a relief. Now just give it levitate, it’s a literal magnet that floats in the air. Maybe even give it Nose Knows, a levitate that also makes it immune to fighting type attacks because it nose where the fighting type attack is coming from and dodges it. He can smell your intentions Great Tusk, you can do nothing to the Great Nose now. It’s over.

This is the kingambit counterplay the genn9 ou concil expects us to use instead of banning it

Great Team^^ So good team play.

Great Nose is a very fitting nickname for Probopass considering its japanese name is "Dainose" which means "Giant Nose"

Look! Kingambit isn't broken! It loses 1v1 to the extremely common Probopass matchup!

Iron Mugulis being in this top team is so funny, we finally found him

Breaking down the mon's unfortunate flaws in its debut generation and why it didn't work, elaborating the strengths of the top tiers in the current generation and how this mon can help overcome them, and ending things off with a beautiful example of its exact niche in practice.. This is an absolutely fantastic video to demonstrate the sheer amount of depth that competitive pokemon can hold. Excellent work.

Used this thing in draft to great effect before, cool to see it's getting use in OU too!

I did recently figure out a team that enables both Mienshao and Mespirit to work pretty well, and I tried it in Ranked last season and it actually did pretty good because most people didn't seem to expect what I was doing, I was using a more assist Mienshao with Fake Out, Wide Guard, Coaching and Drain Punch, I got the Coaching idea from a previous opponent actually, and the Mienshao helps the whole team because all the team except Mespirit are all physical attackers so they appreciate the Coaching (especially with Kingambit on the team) but it actually still helps Mespirit as well with Stored Power shenanigans, I love how in comp, sometimes the unexpected can actually net you wins

5:20 Iron Mugulis flashbangs unsuspecting viewers.

“Groucho va Shredder” Gen 9 OU has gone too far

I mentioned Probopass on the Vid about Rock types in Comp And this Nose fella is here??? Today is a good day indeed.

This might be one of my favorite metagame developments this gen so far. Now I wanna try some creative team building again

I actually had an idea to utilize this in a team, believe it or not, so it's nice to know I'm not the only one.

i guess iron mugilus is trying to infiltrate the Smogon Cansel now instead of the horses.

3:30 Ah yes, my favorite Grass/Ghost type Pokemon. Sinist Cha.

Words cannot express my gratitude to Stupendous Nostrils, the past paradox form of Probopass

Probopass is one of my top 5 favorite pokemon, glad my man's getting usage

Bronzong can also counter nearly everything kyurem can throw to it. It resists dragon and ice thanks to the steel typying and is immune to earth power thanks to levitate. Unfortunately it is extreemely unreliable against anything else. You can only use it in a tournament if you are certain your opponent is going to use kyurem.

intriguing indeed

Sounded like you were doing an all tomorrows summary at the beginning

Someone had made a post on smogon that was related to terrastalyzing probopass as fighting lol. With iron defense and body press included in the suggested sets. Hilarious how that aged well.
