The funny thing about Blissey rising to OU is that its usage in UU was 3.755%, therefore had low enough usage to fall to RU if it weren't for OU snatching it instead.
He spends more time switching between those two than in any other tier 💀 Drives me nuts cuz it does have a fun OU niche as a gimmicm set with Endure Weakness Policy Unburden Reversal
Hey Joey frosmoth's best set in pu is always specially defensive pivot these days. This set was discovered when meloetta dropped and the tier was scrambling for switchins. It helped Psyshock was also blocked by ice scales. Absolutely amazing Mon that could do strong damage and defog and chip meloetta hard with uturn or ice beam. And Defog was big as none of the setters besides coal were really great switchins into moth. Qd is barely seen these days as oricorio is generally better absuser and pivot moth is simply too important as even with Melo and gastro gone (it's 2 best mons it had good mu into) it still retains important mu into stuff like hoopa and toxtricity aswell.
Araquanid's usage forces Great Tusk to run Supercell Slam or Stone Edge and it needs to teralize to its respective move type to get the OHKO when not running Choice Band, otherwise Araquanid will live it and Great Tusk will get OHKOed if it runs Surf. Head Smash can outright OHKO it since its much more stronger than Stone Edge.
47:36 I’ve had quite a bit of success in UU using LO mixed deo-S on volt turn. With the tier being slower, I can invest more into AT while still outspeeding the common scarf and speed boosting mons
One could hope Tort ends up in PUBL with niches in NU and RU but idk. No Sticky Web for it to abuse, kinda has 4 moveslot syndrome(Rock coverage or Tera Blast), might be a Tera hog(Fire or maybe Ice for Tera Blast, Ghost to block most priority moves, some type to improve its defensive type), could be revenge KOed by priority moves and Scarfers, has some competition(Rhydon, Golurk, Hisuian Decidueye).
Araquanid always been goated. took people forever to realize. Max health adamant, webs, liquidation, leech life, mirror coat/toxic. eats special hits all day.
Ive been using araquinid forever now and i always get a ton of value out of it. I almost swept an entire ou team with it the other day because they didn't know how to play against it. I lead with it and took out 4 mons before they quit. Lol
@@sagacious03 honestly even with the lower sp. Atk surf/hydro pump can straight up kill tusks that come in to rapid spin. Water Bubble is a hella busted ability.

When Big Stall calls, Blissey will always rise to answer
The thing is blissey is always good in ou but its only really used on stall so if not a lot of people are using it it’ll fall down the tiers
Blissey rises and falls with stall which borders over or under the OU percentage requirement
Tiers are meant to be broken
Big Stall saving Blissey from despair down the depths
I feel like Hawlucha is forever trapped in a cycle of falling down to RUBL and then rising back to UU only to then fall back into RUBL
When joey started talking about hidden power raikou, i was like "u ok doctor?"
Meant terablast LOL
P much same thing tbf@@pokeaimMD
Joey was never quite the same after gen 8 😥😥😥
46:06 - good thing you clarified that, I was wondering why you looked so different
Before: It's Garchover
Now: It's Deover
It's a beautiful world we live in that surf mirror coat araquanid is OU
Imagine telling someone that 8 years ago
I miss totem araq in vgc lol
Hawlucha making his quarterly round between rubl and uu
He spends more time switching between those two than in any other tier 💀
Drives me nuts cuz it does have a fun OU niche as a gimmicm set with Endure Weakness Policy Unburden Reversal
Araquanid made it to the big leagues let's goooo!
My boy!! :)
33:20 joey calling Tera Blast "hidden power" is proof that's he's been alive for a long time 😂😂

Araquanid stocks rising
Has also 6 legs. Imagine stockings on this guy.
Stocking stockings rising
We gotta get some NU gaming going with Rabia Mr. Joey
Ngl these meta view and discussion vids have become my fave content. Plus the tier prediction lists
I’ve noticed that ninetales in NU has made cetitan appear in every team too 😭

I haven't seen any non-offensive great tusks with supercell slam nor stone edge personnally.
Big spider is here
I love Pecharunt, I've been using it as a super Physdef pivot with Parting Shot in OU for months. So happy to finally see other people picking it up.

Crazy how ground types the number 1 used mons in almost all tiers this gen
Aside from RU
You'll need to be quick on recording with torterra in PU that thing is not sticking around for very long i can promise you that much.

Love the podcasts while im working, keep up the good work joey
Im not very surprised araquanid being in OU on how strong it was in monotype and one of the pinnacle of bug teams.
empoleon goin back into top 10 RU if suicune becomes a big problem especially now that he has haze 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Why is joe talking about hidden power in gen 9? You have to let go. It's been 2 gens.
He meant tera blast
Day 5 of asking you to play every tier one showdown back to back ( bonus points if you use ditto as much as you can)
Araquanid always been goated. took people forever to realize. Max health adamant, webs, liquidation, leech life, mirror coat/toxic. eats special hits all day.
I hope you'll try suicune in uu someday, i got to 1540 on the ladder once

wet spider above Zapdos is insane
Day 5 of asking for Joey to remind everyone why Meowscarada is an OU threat.
It isn't. That'll be UU in April and it'll fit in well there
You see it's funny because it's not
The problem is that it ain’t 😭🙏🏾
yall just dont know abt the specs set smh
Meow really shouldn't be seeing the usage it does. A comprehensive list of everything more viable than Meow that's not OU: Deoxys-Speed / Lokix / Tinkaton / Weavile (all A-), Hydrapple / Latios / Ninetales / Alolan Ninetales / Ogerpon / Scizor / Sinistcha / Ursaluna / Galarian Weezing (all B+)
love your discussion videos
Why is Araquanid running stuff like Surf instead of Liquidation?
Lot of physical answers in OU that special moves hit better even with the stat difference, same reason why Lando-T often runs a special set
@@itztaytay2 Thanks for the answer! Real interesting. Really says something about the state of the metagame, no?
@@sagacious03 honestly even with the lower sp. Atk surf/hydro pump can straight up kill tusks that come in to rapid spin. Water Bubble is a hella busted ability.
Can we possibly see a new scizor team, I’ve been pairing it with pala as a way to kill things that check pala like hydrapple and water pon
Torterra will not work in PU with Quiver Dance Frosmoth running rampant
I know webs it the move but i still like running it as a balance mon. Tanky but strong
i love this style of vid!!
Go araquanid! I knew he'd make it
ARAQUNAID MY GOAT 🎉 MUCH DESERVED
pecharunt is so hard to kill and then it poisons me and recovers. I hate fighting it lol
Araquanid stocks is gonna fall like crazy. The Industry suggests not to invest in it.
This really is a this gens UU is last gens OU
The only time we get gen 9 OU content is when tiers shift, and I'm honestly okay with that
All the palafin stuff was OU content, and he will showcase cool teams that performed well in the tier also
@itztaytay2 and I will skip it
Araquanid's uprising needs to be further studied 😅
I was running icy wind araquanid back in September/October in OU and it was great. Glad to see it finally move up
I CAN'T USE MY SPECIAL BLISSEY ON MY WONDER ROOM TEAM ANYMORE
But does Vincune Zamazenta rise to JoeyUsed in AAA? Day 29.
Deoxys Speed is just more food for Lokix
That's IF you run it as a hazard setter. It's offensive capabilities are so damn good in a meta where chip is so viable.
I swear to god, it feels wrong to look at uu sometimes
Araquanid Kaisen? Araquanid Itadori?
Revabros we feast
Joey pls use choice band suicune!
You really should try serene grace Exadrill with iron head and rock slide
day 16 of asking you to use unburden pokemon in trick room and fling iron ball to go from slowest to fastest
Deoxys had a generational fall off
Hi Joe, what’s your New Year’s resolution?!
We need Reshiram free, he will be OUs savior
I feel like Hawlucha is way too good to be UU.
Trying it in OU, it's genuinely trash. Too many answers
@ZBREAD. I love using it especially with like encore. If you can find ANY window it's really good
@@ZBREAD. I use it so much, it's so fun and really good
@sxphxn6224 I call cap, send a replay
Day 12 of asking for the return of Chicken on a Balloon! (Air Balloon Blaziken)
Araquanid
Day 26 of asking for a new mamoswine stempede video with gator
I play ZU and I used him as a slow defensive pivot for Charizard 😢
Day 6 of asking for fake stall hyperoffense! (Hopefully with my boy Wo Chien)
wtf is going on
Day one of asking for Flutter Mane to be used in nature swap (252+ Def, 252spatk, -Speed, shadow ball, calm mind, draining kiss, substitute)
day 14 of asking for special palafin (diff account same person)
Day 9 of asking Joey to use Ninjask in DPP OU
God I hate gholdengo,it just looks so stupid.Its a shame its so good because ill never use it
Your pfp looks like gholdengo tho
Real fans are here at 25 seconds 😎🙏😎
