Pokemon Gen 3 Competitive Singles is a great format where unique strategies always seem to pop up in high level play. Whether it be a strange moveset choice like Tail Whip on Blissey, or a Novel Pokemon choice like Lunatone or Swellow, being Creative can sometimes pay off massively.
I'm having a "Live Wo-Chien Reaction" to all of this great information.

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 RU-vid. In any case, he's a powerful metagame force, with absolutely no interest in online game development schools.

With the Swellow strat, it is a shame that so many Pokemon post-gen 3 have access to priority moves of some kind. I could see this strat working out very well for BSS, provided instead of a Starf Berry, another berry is used like the Salac or Petaya Berry. Also, rocks.

rocks doesnt matter, he wants to be at 1hp both for endeavor and starf. baton pass ban and team preview tho

To be honest, I may want to try gen 3 OU.

@LucRio448 10 месяцев назад

I'm always ready for more weird shit. After all, that's why I personally prefer draft leagues, because you don't have to prepare for 45 mons with 2 sets each, but for 11 mons with a bazillion sets each - and the most random seeming stuff can work out there. And it's not about who had more broken mons, but about who made the optimal choices in terms of sets, items and EVs. It feels less like being tasked with "hey, put together a soccer team that cna beat any team with any combination of players under any circumstances", and way more like "hey, your opponent has these 25 players to choose from, you get these other 25, individually the teams are quite even - come up with the better strategy and combine your players and their strength in the best way to win"

@funkymachine 10 месяцев назад

I'm really glad you shouted out the emerald draft open a while back and in general have been talking about gen 3. I joined it on a whim and have since fallen in love with gen 3 (ou and in general). I ended top 32 off luck and over planning, and since then have loved gen 3 ou. My love of Pokémon was kinda dropping, gen 4 ou just not doing it for me after I got top 10 in the ladder and then immediately felt like every game was the same. Gen 3 is such a condensed but versatile tier that words don't do it justice

@prestigeicathius4660 10 месяцев назад

I remember back in the day during the gen 6 era I was climbing on the ladder consistently and even made it to about 1500 elo on a good track as well to reach 1600. One day while playing doing my usual grind I fought a fairly standard team, can't remember the entirety of it except for one Pokémon, their Ferothorn. Now, there's nothing special about it since you see Fero all the time but this one stood out to me for what happened during that game. At some point I managed to safely swap in my Mega Pinsir in front of their Fero in order to set up Swords Dance which usually be the turning point right then and there but what happened next truly was a shocker. That Fero had THUNDER in it's move slot! As soon as I set up SD he straight up used Thunder to Ohko my Mega Pinsir. I was so taken aback by this that I somehow didn't know what to do at that point and promptly lost the game. I wanted to ask the guy why but he quickly left. This may not be a gen 3 Strat but it's on the topic of weird ones that'll forever be in the back of my mind. Just wanted to share this after hearing about the bit where confusing the player is often enough to win the game.

Great video! Keen for a part 2. Though I never had the chance to play gen 3 meta, I've read lots of gen 3 Smogon sets over the years which would be great video topics: - Explosion user + endure, endeavour, spore, extreme speed Smeargle + fake out user in 2v2 - Sub + morning sun + status Moltres - DD + flail Kingra - Swagger + psych up Regirock - The moves snatch, torment, trick

@yourdagan 10 месяцев назад

Morning Sun Moltres, hard to set up but good and usable. DD Kingdra not a thing, Flail wouldn't work well either. Swagger Psych Up would be extremely situational, usually wouldn't work. I've Torment before but it's whatever. Trick is risky and often predictable. Snatch has seen most success with Toxic Blissey in the mirror match.

@harryf9885 8 месяцев назад

2:34 Suicune and Snorlax walked so Houndstone and King Gambit could run. I do think the natural development of sacrificing your team for immunity to phasing is cooler than being incentivized to sacrifice your team because your Pokémon’s move/ability is programmed to get a boost from that though.
