Some will never figure out how to get Cacturne in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Cacturne Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Cacturne Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.
If you see it: Let's grab a dozen Oysters together when we next reunite.
The below text is very relevant to many people.
Game Freak just blew all other online game development schools out of the water with this incredible new 2022 release. You're gonna need to get a game design degree online, and FAST, if you want to make a better game than this. Not even the best strategy games android reddit could hold a candle to this breathtaking Next generation competitive Pokemon experience.
Scream Tail is the Jigglypuff of our wildest dreams. It has been buffed with some higher statistics and the incredible ability, Protosynthesis. Gen 9 Competitive Pokemon wouldn't be the same without this powerful pink blob. He kinda looks like someone I met in one of my game design and development courses.
Gen 9 Pokemon Showdown is one of the greatest online gaming sites in history. From Pikachu and Charizard, to Palafin and Roaring Moon, The new Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, have introduced a lot of new faces. Can I succeed in one of the best android games of all time? If so, I'm gonna get myself a Walmart bakery Pokemon cake to celebrate.
Gholdengo is a Pokemon made of pure gold. He must have done some online business management courses to accumulate all that wealth. Or perhaps he might want to learn how to make money playing video games on KZread. In any case, he's a powerful metagame force, with absolutely no interest in online game development schools.

@@butteredsalmonella I mean CB metagross meteor mash also does 30.8-36.5% to the most common skarmory set which is usually ppl's best switch in, it dents everything.
I had no idea CroCune was actually named after someone. I always assumed it just stood for Calm Mind, Resttalk, One attack suicune.
Gen 3 OU is 100% the Melee of Pokemon singles. It's fundies heavy, with fewer options overall leading to individual Pokemon having more flexible and meaningful niches. Very straightforward metagame because you know what to expect most of the games. Techs and options that cannot exist in other games because of the mechanics being different (such as the physical/special split). The community absolutely carries this on their back, since everyone else moved on already, so to speak. There are a lot of cool highlights to gen 3 that we never got to see outside of these guys pulling that community with their teeth. It's honestly really freaking cool to think about. I love that this video can exist. Iron Mugulis will not outperform this vid. Probably just going to react to this anyway to farm views. Insidious cup
45 minutes video, you're really working hard for this channel and the viewers. Thanks.
Ice is a start, but when will you be tackling the other 17 Types of Berg?

This is honestly really great! For someone who has watched all of ADV Revival, there were some terms like yolo skarm that I didn’t quite understand. It’s nice for beginners to get definitions all in one video
Gen 3 lore, this is insane
This was definitely a change of pace from your usual content, but a good one! Can't wait for part 2.
omg this brings back some memories man - thanks! :) old NB/RSbot-player back in the early 2000's :D
This is one of my favorite jimothy cool videos ever. This is certifiably insane work! Keep the love and knowledge for Gen 3 coming!

You are without question my favorite pokemon channel of all time, I only see this level of quality of competitive pokemon analysis nowadays for either SV or VGC history, keep up the awesome work! 🔥
Iceberg and niche pokemon content? Banger vid
This is truly insane. Definitely a fun video. Cant wait for pt2
Exceptionnal quality, well constructed and informative video. I love learning metagame lore like this (the Houdini bit was hilarious). Part 2 will be, for a lack of a better word, insane.
My god hearing the elinia music from maplestory during the mr mime ban segment activated me like a sleeper agent
This is something I've been looking for to get into ADV OU. I think this will help me a lot and others.
finally started to actually play some ADV recently after a few months of just spectating and watching your videos then suddenly this comes out. this is insane. you are my hero mr cool
Loved this, great work with the explanations. Can't wait for pt 2
Great video! Enjoying it a lot, looking forward to part 2!
MOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM THE 46:15 JIMOTHY COOL VIDEO ESSAY ON GEN 3 OU JUST DROPPED!
I love the iceberg analysis! Thanks for making this video Jim :D
you are a master of blending entertainment and information. very cool
Great video!
Loved the vid can’t wait for part 2
Been trying to get my friends into adv but feels like theres a lot to explain but this does a lot of it for me in a concise way. Good work Jim, and good luck in your continued struggles against Iron Mugulis

It is very knowledge-heavy, and this can often get in the way of having fun because you need to keep your brain on overload in order to not fall into a trap.
Nice vid Jim keep it up
Love this idea. Hyped for Part 2
This was a fun video! Looking forward to the rest.
Wow, your videos taught me a lot more about Gen 3 OU than I realized. A decent chunk of things you talked about this video I already knew
great video, really enjoyed it
great video, you got me into experimenting with teams on the ladder you absolute maniac
You’re kidding me with the Jimothy iceberg we are EATIN

Banger bgms. Nice work!
46 minutes of Jimothy Cool commentary. This is insane.
Thanks for explaining some concepts to us, Mr. Jimothy. We gen 3 newbies are a little... overwhelmed by the jargon sometimes.
This was my first time hearing about the Gen 3 counter/hidden power glitch. Interesting stuff!
I really love this video. I would love to get into comp gen 3 but I feel like learning it would be a chore
Awesome video btw i will be subbing and looking forward to watching pt 2. Gen 3 is my favorite ever
Great video My guy
The Silent Quick Claw section cracked me up 🤣 30:59
Incredible
Absolutely love anything Gen 3. One reason why I will forever love your channel 💙
Dang man I considered myself decently knowledgeable about gen 3 but I learned a whole lot of mechanics and strategies. Cool vid
Im rewatching the Ice Berg and it is such a good video, even for the concept I really like.
This is the greatest thing I never knew I needed. Now I need one for every gen, every tier and every salty playground meta ever crafted
I attempted to find Iron Mugulis's video titled "The Drinkware Iceberg" so I could slander it in the name of Jimmothy Cool, but the algorithm kept it from me. I think he's teamed up with Old Money to pay off KZread executives to keep his video safe from Jimmothy Cool subscribers.
45 minutes of GOOD JIM let's go
Jim, can we get some Gen 3 UU coverage? No idea what goes on in that tier.

I think it would be really cool If you choose some pmd music where the deeper you go with the eisberg chart, the music changes to those of deeper stages in the dungeon. Also it would be cool to have a short introduction or pause when progressing to the next stage. Love your videos
I really liked the video. I have never played Pokémon, but I have been watching FalseSwipe gaming for years. I slowly came to a general understanding of the game and its mechanics, but there were a lot of unexplained gaps. I found your channel a month or two ago and have watched you for dozens of hours at this point. Now I know why I never see you play Snorelax. It requires a lot of team support, so it isn't flexible can't be slapped on to most teams.
I can conclude I belong to the third layer. Looking forward to the next episode to learn more about my favourite gen's competitive scene
I’m actually interested in playing Gen 3 OU because of your videos
very good video, maybe pokémon specific icebergs for stuff such as esoteric spreads and strategies could be fun!

wish i could see the larger iceberg at least periodically as you speak on each topic, it helps the theming of the iceberg-type video quite a bit for me, otherwise excellently explained on each topic
awww yeah this is gonna be a good one
I love the ninjask marowak combo, I remember doing it on Pokémon showdown in Highschool haha
The tier symbols are on point.
love the freezai shout out yall are literally my 2 favorite poketubers
Illumise's Illustrious Iceberg seems like a smash hit. Can't wait for part 2.
Jimothy Cool is the hero we didn't deserve but we needed.
This was really cool to listen to
Holy smokes over 45 minutes of Jimothy talking Gen 3? Joyous day.
This was a fun one.
Quick Claw was so quick you couldn't see it coming. You could get jumpscared by an exploding Steelix.
This is insane.
Never played it before so this is a good intro
I've left this video more knowledgeable about Generation 3 Overused and it's history. This is cool.
19:53 I was today years old when I discovered that "KO ends turn" thing. Holy shit 🤯
Completely here for it
This is increasingly insane
Jim is truly out standing in his iceberg.
Wow did not realize the explosion tech, that’s crazy
20 years of TITANIC battles and tournament play CRASHES onto my subscription page today with this ICEBERG video (the Titantic cruise was replaced by the Olympic pre voyage, and sank in one of the largest successful insurance fraud cases rivaling only Silversteins in 2001)
I would love if this was done for other generations (gen 4 especially)
