"Some of the most wonderfully designed Pokemon of all time" *shows Magcargo, whose power was limited to Mondays*

Fire types that are not legendary pokemon or starters need more love.

Such insight as “it’s only 50% accurate but if you hit it’s a great move” is what makes me keep coming back to the Jimothy Cool channel. With this newfound wisdom I went looking for some other great moves and found this one called fissure. It literally instakills the opponent! Why aren’t more people talking about this?

Most wonderfully designed pokemon of all time with Magcargo on screen is a moment of beauty and truth

Magcargo is so good that the smogon council had to put it in PU so no one would realize how incredible it is.

Ponyta's new law is insane.

I can't believe ponyta would do such thing

Sorry Jim, I'm already subscribed so I cannot help anymore in stopping the "Rapid dash" of Ponyta's political career.

they're hot

They are also immune to rock moves 10-20% of the time.

Actually Flareon's niche in rby comes from using tail whip You use it on a paralized Starmie to reaply it's speed drop and make body slam into hyper beam a ko

Fire types have had kind of a rough experience in competitive Pokemon

It is unsurprising that Pontya turned out to be villainous. It's ambitions, like it's hooves, are harder than diamonds.

Magcargo is one of the founders of the horse council

Flareon being screwed over for 5 generations is painful, it's attack stat was so wasted.

Ninetales in RBY can use fire spin which lets it safely chip jynx lead into fire blast KO range and if it misses and gets slept it’s a good sleep absorber since it likely won’t do much else than ruin jynx’s day. Very niche but notably more consistent than flareon using tail whip to stack paralysis speed drops, and not the most flaccid mon in the game like charizard. Moltres is definitely the best though.

If Magcargo gets high horsepower, then surely it has the capability to join the horse council.

"Confuse Ray's just gambling" True, but can you explain why I become upset when they don't hurt themselves in confusion every turn?

It’s funny to realize that Fire type is one of the best defensive types with 5 resistances. I think it’s the most buffed type of all time.

This is a certified "Magcargo moment™"

Before watching the video: There was peace in the fire nation up to Gen 3, but everything changed when the Stealth Rock Nation attacked.

This channel has done a lot of great things. The greatest thing it’s done is shine a light on magcargo. Not that it needed it of course, but appreciated nonetheless.

Fire types are weird. On one hand, weak to rocks and earthquake , on the other, super effective against steel

One of the videos I've been waiting for the most. Dragon, normal, steel, and the very long water type Pokemon videos will be here before we know it. Thank you

This video is FIRE 🤣

Victini is my favorite fire type. Love that little guy. Shoulda made it Fire/Fairy in gen 6 IMO, woulda been a cool change to give it a unique combo

Thank you so much for these longer form videos Jim!

More hot new content from Jim. In preparation for a Magcargo Monday perhaps.

The horse council bit is a fun one

I'll never get over the fact that Skeledirge doesn't get enough usage to be OU but it's used too much to be UUbers.

I genuinely like Magcargo's design. Who wouldn't love a lava snail named after escargot?

You’re the man Jimothy, Keep up the awesome work!

I'm also a big fan of Fire types. My personal one is Charizard, this was my first mon ever back in Pokémon Red, but big credits to the forgotten Rapidash

I think you should have mentioned around the gen 3 mark how burn does 12% instead of 6%

Really like the series as I’m getting back into Pokémon and love learning about all the gens, good job

5:30 here's another fun fact about gen 1 if your opponent uses haze on a freezing Pokémon it will thaw

This is the only channel where I watch for the ads because I wanna hear about horsea wanting to see his friend ponyta. I haven’t played competitive Pokémon in my entire life lol

I love the casual dissertation. Great content as always

Wonderful video, felt intrigued throughout the whole thing

Shoutout to Gen 3 Arcanine for having a great ability, the best priority attack move (can be life saving vs Dug) and having a Base Stat Total thats higher than any non (pseudo) legendary (and Slaking).

@jimothycool I appreciate how you organize your videos, explain things well, and how its not clickbaity or full of unnecessary filler. Like I enjoy learning about gen 3-6 onwards (the ones I got to experience most) and the video chapters and formatting make it easy for me to watch just that. And how you explain things makes it easy to learn even for people who aren't super experienced with a specific format.

Magcargo is the leader of the shadow goverment of the horse council. He is a dark horse, ladies and gentlemen

Charizard is much better than Flareon in RBY due to better moves and being faster. Swords Dance is key in making it go from Poorsman Moltres to its own thing. Swords Dance, Hyper Beam, Fire Blast and either Earthquake/Body Slam is dangerous if used right.

Fire blast in gen 1 sounds really good, but you really don't wanna burn starmie, or chansey, both of them are everywhere.

Also worth noting that Blaziken in Gen 8 also dropped from Ubers to UUBL It is still UUBL to this day

Actually can't wait for the 30 min each gen 3 and gen 5 water mon segment.

I am fired up, folks

Ponyta is horse adjacent? Brother I think it literally is a horse

Something that kept coming up in relation to Volcarona (and Fire types in general) in this video was they're relation to mechanics changes, such as Steal Rocks, Boots, and Terra. I'd love to see a video about something like "Pokemon most buffed/nerfed by mechanic changes"

This video will be fire

Magcargo didn't get Power Gem till Gen 9 that is disrespectful. Amorouge is also good on terrain teams.

Not to put pressure on, but I'm hoping/looking forward to you doing these vids for each type, I feel like I always come away with some new strat or knowledge I wasn't aware of before

Jimothy cool lore goes hard

"This is heat" -Joey

Magcargo not being immune to water is a war crime, it makes sense too, its a lava-pokemon, so its so hot water should evaporate. Isn't one 4x weakness enough?

Jimothy you should play Gen 4 UU, Arcanine is fantastic, and Moltres in Gen 4 UU is probably my favorite Pokémon to use in a competitive format it just feels so powerful but you have to work to get rocks off the field and remove certain water types first. But once you do Moltres just feels like an Ubers mon running around in a lower tier.

Crazy how a little over a quarter of the video is dedicated to gen 3. Truly the best metagame.

Ponyta should be stopped. Some would say using the bizarre water type move soak to change its type to water would be helpful in this situation.

I'm so glad that Magcargo is both one of the best ROCK types and one of the best FIRE types!!

This is heat.

I've been tormented for months now trying to figure out what the song is that plays at 1:00. I think it's Iron Mugulis messing with me. Does anyone in the comments have enough horse power to know what the name of the song is so I can add it to my chill game music playlist?

I honestly thought typhlosion would be in ur worst starter videos, but i was thrilled to hear he wasnt lol. always been my fav starter

15:47 We should also give a shoutout to Charizard's coolest set in gen 3 OU the sunny day sweeper set. It rans Fire Blast, Sunny Day, Substitute and Blast Burn (yes Blast Burn) with the item petaya berry. It comes in on something like Choice Band Dugtrio stuck into Earthquake, uses that opportunity to set up a sub, uses sunny day the next turn and then subs constantly until it puts itself in both Blaze and Petaya Berry range. Sunny Day, blaze, petaya boosted Blast Burn OHKOs both Blissey and Suicune (after spikes chip) while Fire Blast OHKOs common resists such as Salamence and of course everything else. Its not the most consistent but damn is it hilarious and satisfying to pull off. And Charizard's coverage option help a lot in scaring certain threats that would want to come in on a sub

Does Macargo have a chance to be in the Horse Council?

Fire has always been my favorite type as well. Typhlosion was my first starter, and he was pretty awesome. I liked camerupt alot too. My favorite fire of all has to be darmanitan tho. Carried me through black on my first playthrough.

we are reaching BKC lengths of video documentaries, this is insane

Its magma cargo monday (its friday)

Houdoom also has Beat Up, so it can also take some Blisseys by surprise

Magcargo is such an epic fellow

Ponita's gerrymandering will be put to a halt

I used to love running rocky helmet magcargo vs talonflame when talon was king, really fun when it takes te brave bird (or flare blitz, I forgot if it gets flare blitz but if so that too) recoil plus rocky helmet 🤣it wasn't much recoil considering it does nearly no damage, them threatening "the king" out with ancient power

Fire is my favorite type. The slander is truly insane. Water gets all the good stuff

Competitively Magcargo is out standing in the cold

I love how you put incin in the video just so the entire comment section didnt tell you wolfe said it was the best fire type of all time

Jimothy Cool you’re my hero

Wheres zebstrika in the horse council?

What you can do with Gen 1 Flareon is run Tail Whip on it. If you’re paralyzed, and a Starmie that’s switching in is also paralyzed, you can Tail Whip it as it comes in to not only lower its Defense, but re-apply the Paralysis speed-drop, making your paralyzed Flareon faster than the paralyzed Starmie. Flareon Hyper Beam vs. -1 Starmie: 217-256 (67.1 - 79.2%) - guaranteed 2HKO Needs some chip, but it’s not difficult to get it to that range with your teammates. Pray you don’t get paralyzed as you try to Hyper Beam it, though LOL

43:00 this reminded me of when I used Z-Splash Gyarados in USUM's fire trial

My favorite fire type is Blacephalon.

I'm sure Blunder will forgive you for the Ogerpon mistake

Huh! I can't say I was expecting Rapidash to ever turn up, but I'm surprised to realize Arcanine is a purely VGC Pokemon. Could have sworn he'd pop out at some point, especially if we're making Flareon mentions (I mean I love the fluffy guy, but we know..)

I like the part with the funny chicken

my favourite fire type is Iron Moth, I think. I am a big fan of the substitute + 3 attacks set with booster energy. I go for booster energy speed, which lets me invest some of my evs into physical defence I like tera fairy dazzling gleam, but energy ball and tera blast ground are also very good

Jimothy's favorite type is fire just like me. yaay

Fire is the best type for sure, if not competitively, at least in my heart.

5:35 if you didn't know crits ignore your boost in Gen 1 then I might as well add that they also ignore defensive boosts and debuffs. So if someone is -2 def and you land a crit you'll do less then if you landed a noncrit because crits also aren't 2.5x damage I believe it's a range of some number

Magcargo crawled so Incineaor could run 😂😂

When will we have a history of Jimmothy Lore

Gamefreak buffed fire types with the Fairy resistance and the new moves because Japan is known as the land of fire, and fire is a common 'protagonist element' in shonen - not to mention charizard being the fan favorite of all pokemon.

My favorite types are fire, ground and dragon. Wich is why Gliscor and Reshiram are my two favorite mons of all time.

Did you pave the way for this video by releasing the one on stealth rock yesterday? 🤔

34:40 a wise man once said “get hit with alladat”

Seeing you talk about Fire types getting nerfed for no reason with the release of Stealth Rocks, could you make a video about Pokemon that unfortunately got hit in the crossfire? Kecleon getting nerfed due to Protean Greninja is a good example

53:44 "I sincerely apologise for this Blunder." I'm sure he will accept your apology.

"You can hit Dynamic Punch..." No, you could. But you won't.

My favorite fire type has to be Fuecoco. He's simply too cute

These videos are near peak RU-vid

Gen 1 Fire types are lowkey almost great because the threat of burn forces out the two best Pokémon in the game in addition to stacking passive damage with Fire Spin before taking advantage of pivoting off of the partial trapping effect. If it wasn't for the 70% accuracy on that move, Moltres would be able to pretty much dictate the pace of a match on its own.
