I like how GameFreak looked at Water's lack of relevant weaknesses, strong offensive presence and amazing overall bulk, said "but what if there was a Double Water type?", and implemented it. And then made Azumarill Water/Double Water.
Politoed is a green, bipedal, amphibian Pokémon with yellow hands, belly, throat, and toes. It has a long, curled hair on top of its head and pink cheek spots that are smaller on the female than on the male.
In Pokemon Empire (fangame) Ice is SE against water and resists it, not the other way around Water is still really good, but it is a significant buff to ice
D, the lore segments are one of my favorite things about the channel. Hoping Magcargo can make some sweeping changes to the Horse Council from the inside, their corruption has gone too far.
I don't play competitive Pokémon, nor do I personally know anyone who does. But the little bits to ask for subscribers and the general fun information on the video is exquisite
I think it's a big deal that all Water types (except stuff like Magicarp) learn at least one fairly strong Ice type move, giving them always at least a neutral hit on the only type, that both resists water and hits it super effectively. Imagine how much stronger grass types are when they get rock or ground coverage!
@@Rpgreatplus they are usually slow, so you can outrun them. And unless they oneshot you, which they dont, you usually twoshot them. Grass is straight up ass in early pokemon.
@@gregorymirabella1423 Okay, but Rotom is a niche case, because base Rotom isn't a water type; like, Oricorio-Fire doesn't even get any normal Fire move like Flamethrower. Keldeo is a really odd case, you're right.
@@melindamuller4466 i mean you said all water types, so i figured you considered rotom as well. and as strange as it is for keldeo to not learn ice beam, i'm absolutely NOT complaining about that.
Lavos had a massive skill issue. Waterfall didn’t even flinch 3 times in a row, it only flinched 3 out of the five times used, which while stunning, isn’t a huge surprise given the whole 20% flinch Chance. The fact he decided to switch in his Gyrados first for some godforsaken reason just demonstrates his complete stupidity. After +1, if Jirachi had a choice scarf, it would outrun and KO the Gyrados by turn 2 before it could either get another Dragon Dance or attack. Jirachi would also live a +1 Waterfall, so that’s not a good excuse either. Lavos misplayed at the worst possible moment, and paid the price.
@@egbertmilton4003 When you see the rare Gyarados lead in DPP it's usually Choice Band, because trying to set up with a lead is inherently inconsistent with an entire team of unknown Pokemon that can potentially answer it. You almost never see set up sweepers in the lead slot in DPP. So switching in his own Gyarados on the probable Waterfall or EQ was a reasonable move. Especially since DD doesn't actually gain attack because of Intimidate, so even in the rare case the Gyara DDs, the opportunity cost of scouting this is usually not too high (Jirachi would've been a fine answer into DD Gyara once DD was revealed, barring the flinch that happened, AND Breloom would've been fine too barring Gyara running Lum Berry). If you switch Jirachi in immediately you will get it chunked for most of its HP from CB Waterfall or EQ most of the time. You are speaking from the hindsight of knowing it was DD Gyara in the lead slot, which is a pretty weird choice of a lead... Plus you don't actually know if Lavos was running Scarfed Jirachi. TBH your flawed analysis, and lack of understanding of the plays made, kind of shows why you aren't as good at the game as Lavos was, who was a top player.
I know the original reasons for changing your outro song are a little more unfortunate, but I cannot understate how soothing the new one is. I’m a big fan!
Magcargo shouldnt have been made a member of the horse council. Him being granted membership of the council was a disgraceful error in judgement which needs to be corrected. I support horseas motion to legalize a water move against this illegitimate horse council member!
A motion that is heavily supported by Greevil is a motion that cannot carry through. Magcargo needs to enlist Zebstrika to the horse council to defend itself from the dastardly Horsea.
Kingler’s Gen 1 Crabhammer is deceptively strong despite the base 50 special. Outside of OHKOing Rhydon, it has a chance to 3HKO Snorlax (which is important vs Reflect sets) and chunks Gengar pretty hard on the switch, too.
I love your videos, Jim. Every day checking your channel and the ADV for new uploads. Perfect to relax when going to bed, or getting up, or chilling on the couch 👍
I've been binge watching all your type videos and I'm so locked in. I really look forward to you just talk about a certain type however long. I love your content! Thank you!
Jellicent is my GOAT Water-type. I love that mon to death. Feels like a perfect storm of all a mon's qualities being good and sometimes even great but elevating each other to a perfectly manageable yet epic power level.
I feel like Amnesia was MADE for Slowbro in gen 1, not only does it make sense for one with a unique mind such as that to have a move where it just forgets what's going on, the fact it buffs the special pairs really well with its high defence, so if it gets off some Amnesia's, enemies have to choose between attacking its better defensive stat or attacking its boosted stat. Doesn't necessarily make it the best abuser of it, obviously. But it does feel like every benefit of it comes in handy for Slowbro, like even its low speed means it's less likely to gen 1 crit and thus cancel out the amnesia boosts for its hit.
Water should definitely get a weakness to poison. Like, pollutions much more damaging to animals living in the water, and the whole ecosystem of the water environments. The fact poison is only super effective against two types is criminal. And I know poison used to be good against bug, but I am more happy to see big spared from more weaknesses. Poison being good against water, grass and fairy is a good resume. It has good offensive output while still not being the greatest offensive typing, allowing it’s good defensive qualities to shine in turn
The weaker types should all get moves that hit at least their usual resists super-effectively. Bug should get one for each of its resists, even if it doesn't make sense.
Steel type pokemon say hello. How many metas have suffered from Skarmory, Heatran, Ferrothorn, Aegislash, Celesteela, and Corvinknight's onmipersistance/uniprescience?
Gen 7 (and gen 8 and 9 national dex) manaphy is amazing with waterium z. Z rain dance boosts it's speed, breaking it out of it's middling speed tier and letting it out run most things. 1 tail glow into 1 z rain dance let's it out speed and blast with rain boosted surf. Hydration let's it cure paralysis that would otherwise cripple a set up sweeper. Energy ball for coverage to hit water types. One of my favorite sets of all time. Becomes even easier to pull of with screens support
20:25 This was my 4 attack Starmie set in Pokémon Emerald: Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, Thunder, Psychic. I lost to my friend’s Swampert because her Blizzard hit and froze both my pokémon in a double battle.

The reasoning behind Magcargo’s Horse conversion also applies to Rillaboom. Does that mean Rillaboom is a horse? If it is, Magcargo could ally itself with a freshly introduced to the council Rillaboom, and be protected from the menacing Horsea. Also, monkey= horse, that’s funny
I love how on the bug video you listed every bug that did anything ever and here by gen 3 youre like fuck it there is too many water types i cant list them all
Despite their name, Horsea is no more a real horse than Magcargo. I hope they get the comeuppance they deserve for plotting against our collective favorite Pokemon.
Horsea shouldn’t even be in the horse council. This is a sham. You can’t just call yourself ‘Horse A’ and claim to be a horse. It doesn’t even learn any horse related moves.
Actually, Horsea did not adopt the name Horsea until after it was already accepted into the horse council. Prior to its acceptance, it went by the name of “Reginald”. Please do not rewrite history just to diminish the accomplishments of A Horse Formerly Known as Reginald. That being said, Horsea’s unethical actions against Magcargo in the present day are certainly worthy of rebuke.
Its a sea horse, your comment is ridiculous. It's a perfectly legitimate decision made by the long-standing members of the horse council to grant horsea membership.
Empoleon’s gotta be my favorite, such a unique take on a bulky water, always loved its defensive sets, it can wall so many things that most waters just don’t like sitting in front of
Favourite water type? Milotic it is! It is so pretty and elegant -^^- And competitively speaking, it is a really trustworthy wall. I really like having Recover :P
26:24 so cool‼️‼️ that’s my exact moveset for Gary‼️‼️ more than anything, I love setting up a D Dance, baiting Skarmory’s Whirlwind/Roar, but countering it with Taunt to farm even more boosts. By the time they counter with Zapdos/Jolteon/Aerodacyl/Magneton/Jirachi, it’s too late because I have HP Rock for Flying types and Earthquake for Electric/Rock/Steel. HP Flying sounds cool but I rarely got value out of it. My Gary does hate Claydol and Flygon tho
Swampert truly is a gem of a Pokemon. Mega Swampert is one of the most fun sweepers as well. It should really get Sap Sipper to keep up with the power creep of Gen 9. I'm not even sure it'd be OU with that but Swampert deserves to be in the mix. Maybe its own ability "Slippery Fellow" which halves damage from all contact moves
I've always felt water should have been weak to poison since gen 1, like it always made sense to me, poison polluting water, plus so many generations look so different with such a small change.
Hello Jimothy Cool. I do not know when we would expect a video on Electric Types in Competitive Pokemon, but I would like to submit a request for you to talk about my favourite fellow Pincurchin. Pincurchin is a new Pokemon from the Generation 8 games, who has the rare ability to set Electric Terrain upon switching in. In a generation devoid of Tapu Koko for some time, this was an exceptional tool and carved out a niche for itself with this and Rising Voltage, a funny move that doubled in power in Electric Terrain. In Generation 9, Pincurchin also used this ability to great effect with the introduction of the Iron Paradox forms, enabling their Quark Drive ability. Retaining access to Scald as well as having reliable recovery made this little guy exceptional. Please do not look at its tier in either of these generations, please, and believe me when I say this electric urchin is a wonderful Pokemon and worthy of your attention. Thank you.
Magcargo has unfortunately fallen ill with pokerus-19. As a result, he is now unable to use sound based moves such as hyper voice. Certainly, Magcargo deserves a seat among the hoarse council.
With the support of skill swap Sandyghast and an air ballon, Magcargo can shield itself from the threatening water and ground attacks being threatened by anti-Magcargo groups. Please make it happen Jimothy.
5:40 hey jim, I'm pretty sure rest takes the same amout of rest turns from later generations. In gen 1 you're asleep for only one turn but since you lose the turn you wake up its effectively two turns. Just a minor nitpick but just wanna give some feedback 🤙
Alomomola also exists.
It shouldn't, Jimothy.
was about to comment this, no way my ubers goat mola got left out :gengarsob:

Goodness, Jimothy Cool, you sure did talk about Water Types in Competitive Pokémon for about one hour and two minutes.
62 minutes of water pokemon? This is unheard of!

Whats double water and do i need to drink only half as much to feel refreshed?
I see what you did there.
@@saikyojushin370 what did he do there? Please explain.
I thought this comment was going to be about ADV Suicune at first. Now I'm lost.
@@CoNteMpTone I think he's comparing water to fairy in this comment.
Politoed is a green, bipedal, amphibian Pokémon with yellow hands, belly, throat, and toes. It has a long, curled hair on top of its head and pink cheek spots that are smaller on the female than on the male.
The hair is perhaps meant to represent an ahoge, literally "foolish hair", a common trope seen in Anime to denote a character as "foolish"
what other foolish frog would commit to maintaining one long curled hair atop it’s melon? i couldn’t name one.
Feels like Water should have gotten another weakness somehow. I could see an argument for Poison. It’s just insane.
Poison is a great option for water weakness. Water pollution is a major issue, and poison needs the extra help
that and being resisted by ice. it would buff an ok offensive typing and a bad defensive one at the same time
In Pokemon Empire (fangame) Ice is SE against water and resists it, not the other way around
Water is still really good, but it is a significant buff to ice
@@amiablereaper I think something more balanced would be for them to resist eachother
@@matthewlong7547 you need to think beyond theme and think about game balance maybe ice should resist it
the funniest mega evolution idea would be Magcargo growing legs and hooves and gaining like 80 base speed
And becomes a water type
Evolves into Nagcargo (nag meaning frail horse)
