My god, iron mugulis has entered the real world. And it's slowly but surely invading every home on this planet.... May iron mugulis have mercy on us mortals
Apparently xatus dex says it sees into the future constantly and is almost appears to be frightened did it see the future in which mugulis and the other future paradox’s exist in perhaps
@@doncolbus134how couldn't don't you know the future is almost set in stone maybe he did warn us and that's why these Pokémon are paradox's since that future will never come
Xatu also happens to be one of a few Pokémon whos name begins with an X. Although he does not appear to be a pirate on the surface, the fact he carries an X-marks-the-spot in their name, and their status as a Pokémon with a prophetic nature, means that they could be useful in finding treasure. Let's hope Xatu stays safe in light of this new knowledge.
This somewhat eases the pain of the fact that Xatu's 3D model is stuck perpetually flying. Xatu. The bird pokemon partly based off a totem pole. A thing that stands. Suspended in the air without the elegance it should have. This is what sky battles did to us.
"Psychic Flying was a unique type combination in the generation it released in" -the generation that introduced Lugia (though it is a unique type combo specifically for non Ubers tiers)
Xatu is indeed quite epic. Back in gen 5 and 6 I would sometimes try sneaky choice specs sets to punish switches out of it with hefty damage, with u-turn to dodge incoming ttars and other pursuit users.
Xatu was always my favorite Pokémon. Magic Bounce was a really great 'Risk Reward' since both Espeon and Xatu were pretty frail. You either predict your opponent going for a status/entry hazard move or you get slapped for a significant percent of your health, it really did reward smart play. I remember if often conditioned players to click entry hazards in really unoptimal situations. A dragon dancing Salamance? Perfect time for stealth rocks.
I love Xatu, I went well out of my way to add one to my team back in Heart Gold even though he didn’t have any kind of STAB outside of Fly 😭 still loved him though. Wish he’d get a convergent species or an evolution 💚 love the green pigeon man
Xatu is a Pokémon that I've always wished would be good at something. Of all the overlooked Pokémon it's Xatu out of all of them that truly deserves this moment. This is insane. Thank you.
I ran Xatu in gen 5 OU for almost the entire generation! Dual screens, Roost and Night Shade, it was a really good support mon. Its biggest problem is Tyranitar, Pursuit wears it down very fast and TTar could even setup as Xatu fled the field. Really fun Pokemon, the power level feels just about right for it.
It's been a lot of fun watching your videos lately! I play competitive pokemon pretty casually, and it's been awesome to have your videos to keep up with the trends and the waxing and waning power levels of certain pokemon. But of course, I would be remiss not to say that the physical and special split made gen 4 competitive better than gen 3. ;-)
1:24 some sort of holdable container for beverages is insanely hilarious and tbh, would be the way some people in the Pokemon anime would describe a pokemon they're chasing. Insanity.
I want you to know I enjoy not only the analyses of Pokemon history, but your British voice is just so freakin soothing. It helps me relax as I'm driving home from a hard day at work. Thank you.
Hi jimothy cool, I like your videos. Your face reminds me of my philosophy teacher. And I find that poignant because he isn't my teacher anymore, and I find you to be a very nice reflection of that. Your videos on the dangerous boys like Iron Mugulis give me a profound philosophy in my life.
I used Xatu with much success to get Ho-oh in Colosseum in Mt. Battle pairing it with a Slaking. It would use skill swap to free up Slaking and was the only mon that could learn that and is immune to Earthquake. Good times...
Xatu works well against garchomp if you’ve got a steel type It puts you in a 50/50 mind game And max spatk heat wave KOs excadrill even with just a bit of chip damage And you can uturn on incoming Ttars
Yarp xatu is ever goated at the battle factory too. Not for magic bounce unfortunately it’s just pretty good at level 50 rentals. Wish gen 5 had rentals so much, I love playing with rental pokémon.
6:23 You could also add the fact that Excadrill can ignore Xatu's Magic Bounce thanks to Mold Breaker and use Stealth Rocks freely against it. Truly an awful matchup for Xatu
Xatu is my favorite Flying bird Pokemon and I wish it and the other Gen 2 birds (Noctowl, Delibird) got more love. I think an evolution for each of them would be fantastic.
I remember playing against Dark Eeveon back in the day of early gen 5 I can't forget when I won a casual tournament in a Spanish / Latin American server on 'Pokemon Online' against him as well. This was like... 15 years ago or something lmao. I still remember his prankster Liepard with swagger and foul play it was annoying as fuck. Pfff the memories!
Xatu is a favorite of mine, honestly its stats are low enough it could evolve but i dunno if eveolite xatu is a good idea. although with the meh typing and all the crazy bs now that might be fine.
3:25 i know you're just recording this staged battle to show your point, but its so funny watching ferro get its SR bounced back and then hurr durr keep setting up spikes. Most normal ferro player :p
I love watching your videos at night, but they tend to be very heavy on the whites/bright colours, any chance of a dark mode video in the future for us night owls? That aside, i really enjoy the content, thanks so much
Espeon was only used with magic bounce mainly to block phazing to dont lose its stats from the baton pass chain but now that u cant pass boosts from bp the strat is just useless and now espeon is outclassed by xatu
@techmark3665 lol yeah I included Lugia in my thoughts when he said that. Sounds strange to say it was unique to them in when a box legendary was that typing

They thought I was crazy for using Xatu in Gen 5 OU. But no I’m not crazy, I’m insane.
This is insane
@@senny-no... He is insane folks
Brotherman?
I loved using Xatu too hahaha
Crazy I was crazy once, they locked me in a room, a magic bounce room, a magic bounce room with ratata, and ratata made me crazy
The Heat wave not killing the Fero was so funny to me
It only doing 60% is disgusting assuming it was physically bulky
needs to run bulk not to get deleted by gyro
Xatu is trying its best :(
Xatu usually runs bulky EV spreads to further take advantage of Magic Bounce. The Ferro could also be invested in Sp. Def
Max Special Attack Xatu can ohko Ferro but its not really ideal to spec in anything other than HP/DEF/SPD.
Apparently xatus dex says it sees into the future constantly and is almost appears to be frightened did it see the future in which mugulis and the other future paradox’s exist in perhaps
You're onto something.
It knows the threat that Iron Mugulus will become, yet it cannot stop it
And yet it never warned us
@@doncolbus134how couldn't don't you know the future is almost set in stone maybe he did warn us and that's why these Pokémon are paradox's since that future will never come
Magic Bounce is a great addition to the meta game. Xatu deserved it. Heat Wave is a bonus.
"You ruin their entire life." 😂
“Xatu is epic and funny” excellent distillation of what xatu does, yet another jimothy banger
Hello Mr. Togami.
Xatu is one of my personal favorite pokemon.
I used to ran it on my flying mono team so that my team don’t need boots
Juking my opponent then slow teleport into a threat is always my favorite
And unfortunately this Pokémon has not been very good in competitive singles for most of its life.
And unfortunately, this pokemon has not been very good in competitive singles for most of its life.
Xatu had a below average stat distribution even back in gen 2, when the power level was pretty low.
Although psychic flying was a unique type combination at the time, the pokemon had very little to offer
It's cool to see Xatu have its moment, even if it is just a moment.
Xatu on NU, most gens, is actually always meta defining, bitch won’t die

They did fix a few of these, let's hope they fix Xatu at some point
The only bird to be flying is the one that really shouldn't be
"Psychic Flying was a unique type combination in the generation it released in" -the generation that introduced Lugia (though it is a unique type combo specifically for non Ubers tiers)
Yo good catch. Probably either because Jim is an OU player for most gens, or (though less likely) he thought Lugia was Water Flying.
Xatu deserves more love. Natu is so cute - the TGC card where they’re cuddled up on Bouffalant’s afro is my favourite
Xatu is indeed quite epic. Back in gen 5 and 6 I would sometimes try sneaky choice specs sets to punish switches out of it with hefty damage, with u-turn to dodge incoming ttars and other pursuit users.

wow a gen 5 meta development being extremely matchup based i’m so surprised
Natu in LC is also quite epic to use

Xatu’s gen 5 success did indeed surprise me.

“Unique type combination” Lugia: “Am I a joke to you?”
I really like Xatu's design, I just wish it had the stats to actually make it viable outside of just having magic bounce.
You missed the opportunity to say "they threw xatu a worm", you know, because he's an early bird.
No
I ran Xatu in gen 5 OU for almost the entire generation! Dual screens, Roost and Night Shade, it was a really good support mon. Its biggest problem is Tyranitar, Pursuit wears it down very fast and TTar could even setup as Xatu fled the field. Really fun Pokemon, the power level feels just about right for it.
4:50 Gen 5 teams look so cool and colorful
I adore Natu and Xatu. Magic bounce is cool, and I love their designs.

I think Jimothy Cool is a positive presence in the UA-cam OU.
I love Xatu. I used one a lot back in gen 7. Good ol' Ben Kenobi helped me win plenty battles.
Wasn’t ready for “at the bottom of the night” in the middle of some lighthearted Ou analysis. I’ll be in the corner crying while you finish up.
1:24 some sort of holdable container for beverages is insanely hilarious and tbh, would be the way some people in the Pokemon anime would describe a pokemon they're chasing. Insanity.
Magic bounce and barely enough bulk to survive a hit and set up rocks
I want you to know I enjoy not only the analyses of Pokemon history, but your British voice is just so freakin soothing. It helps me relax as I'm driving home from a hard day at work. Thank you.
Magic Bounce are a major reason why rocks setters shifted to offensive mons that uses an anticipated switch to set.
Xatu is my all-time favorite Pokemon. It's great to see it get some love.
JUST WHEN I WAS USING XATU THIS DROPPED LMAO I LOVE THIS CHANNEL! STELLAR CONTENT MY GUY! 👍
Xatu is epic and funny. This is insane. Thank you
6:23 I heard iron head and I unironically had to look at my phone to check it was a new paradox form 😭
Xatu is epic and funny.
I'm glad to see content on Pokedoku legend Xatu.
Xatu is one his personal favorite Pokémon
Xatu the mystic Pokemon this odd Pokemon can see both past and future.its eyes track the sun movement all day

Lugia is another flying psychic introduced in generation 2
"Alakazam can threaten Tyranitar directly with Focus Blast" famous last words, alas
I used Xatu with much success to get Ho-oh in Colosseum in Mt. Battle pairing it with a Slaking. It would use skill swap to free up Slaking and was the only mon that could learn that and is immune to Earthquake. Good times...
Xatu's brother Zazatu has been invading my lungs and making my thoughts quite funny.
Escavalier is cool im glad it got that counter off
I LOVE XATU I STAND WITH BIRDS OF THE TOTEMPOLE VARIETY
You talk about gen v? You have my like, sir! Thank you as always
Xatu works well against garchomp if you’ve got a steel type
It puts you in a 50/50 mind game
And max spatk heat wave KOs excadrill even with just a bit of chip damage
And you can uturn on incoming Ttars
I've been terrorizing the gen 5 ladder with my Xatu, Shedinja, Zoroark team for years now, it's hilarious that it's only now starting to catch on.
Xatu is insane.
Yarp xatu is ever goated at the battle factory too. Not for magic bounce unfortunately it’s just pretty good at level 50 rentals. Wish gen 5 had rentals so much, I love playing with rental pokémon.
Your outro pisses me off every time, yet I still watch it.

Exca prefers its sand abilities in Gen 5 to beat opposing sand
@@grunkleg.2934 Is Sand Rush Excadrill allowed in gen 5 OU ? I'm pretty sure it got banned when I played gen 5 back then
Xatu is my favorite Flying bird Pokemon and I wish it and the other Gen 2 birds (Noctowl, Delibird) got more love. I think an evolution for each of them would be fantastic.
Who is Iron Bundle for $400 Alex
@@MatterMadeMoot Oh right...!
Iron Mugulus... has become Iron Muguli now!
Its always the pokemon with lower defensive stats that end up being harder to kill than the high defense ones
Iron Mugulis is my favourite gen 9 Pokémon.
I feel like Natu in LC enjoyed Magic Bounce even more than Xatu
I want to see more of the hail team Excavalier
Be sure to keep Iron Mugulis away from Scrafty’s future paradox Iron Thugulis
You should talk about the rise of clef in gen 5
I remember playing against Dark Eeveon back in the day of early gen 5 I can't forget when I won a casual tournament in a Spanish / Latin American server on 'Pokemon Online' against him as well. This was like... 15 years ago or something lmao.
I still remember his prankster Liepard with swagger and foul play it was annoying as fuck.
Pfff the memories!
Pretty much the same reason I use Natu in Little Cup.
perhaps all ironmuglis wanted was to be no longer be in scarlet and violet anymore... fair
Xatu has a great faint animation in Pokemon colosseum
I was just about to comment this! 😅
Of course Xatu's weakness is Iron Mugulis' younger brother, Iron Head. Where does it stop!!!!?
I love Xatu but people told me it’s wing looks like Among Us and I can’t get it out of my head
There's a reason Mega Sableye was OU in Gen 7. Magic Bounce is incredible.
Understood. Xatu is the absolute peak Pokemon in Gen 5.
magic bounce xatu would be so cool in adv ou
Imagine how much better Xatu would be if it actually got ice beam
Xatu is flirting, Gholdengo is harassment
Yessss man.
Love xatu.
Xatu is one of my faves too :)
Xatu is a bird. Insane.
magic bounce user with heat wave for ferrothorn. thats it
Xatu is a favorite of mine, honestly its stats are low enough it could evolve but i dunno if eveolite xatu is a good idea. although with the meh typing and all the crazy bs now that might be fine.
Now I'm sad Xatu isn't in SV
Xatu needs a stat buff maybe make it’s speed and special attack better? I don’t know but it deserves something!
A third stage evolution in a future game / generation may just be what it needs to keep up with power creep.
Guys he said gliscor the right way. This is insane.
I knew I wan’t crazy to play Xatu gen 5
This is insane.
Of note, I get it's an Uber so maybe the statement was just for OU but Psychic / Flying wasn't unique otherwise as that's Lugia's typing
3:25 i know you're just recording this staged battle to show your point, but its so funny watching ferro get its SR bounced back and then hurr durr keep setting up spikes. Most normal ferro player :p
You know I've seen that happen more then once in random battles
I love watching your videos at night, but they tend to be very heavy on the whites/bright colours, any chance of a dark mode video in the future for us night owls? That aside, i really enjoy the content, thanks so much
Rare Jotho pokémon W
Overcoat shielded Hail Escavalier
funny bird. enjoyable
Psychic flying was a unique type combination? I think you're forgetting venomoth
Sorry what?
He meant that in Gen 2 psychic/flying was unique (outside of Lugia that isn't relevant for any non ubers tier)
That's because Xatu didn't come out until gen 2 where Venomoth had its psychic typing replaced by steel.
@@Aquilenne ah yeah, I guess that makes sense.
Pretty sure Venomoth is bug poison
I forgot Xatu even existed 💀
If only they made 3rd evolution for geeta main cause their creepy eyes
Espeon was only used with magic bounce mainly to block phazing to dont lose its stats from the baton pass chain but now that u cant pass boosts from bp the strat is just useless and now espeon is outclassed by xatu
But early bird is such a good ability
Xatu is xa too cool
The flying/psychic typing was unique in gen 2?
Yes it was. Only natu and xatu had it. (If you include Ubers then Lugia had it as well)
@techmark3665 lol yeah I included Lugia in my thoughts when he said that. Sounds strange to say it was unique to them in when a box legendary was that typing
The Natu line really has nothing unique or good outside of THE balanced Magic Bounce user, isn’t it?
Why is TTar so tiny
What are those clips of people pressing Spike three times in a row into Xatu?
thats Smart players.
Please add a metal iron mugulous
