How GOOD was Jellicent ACTUALLY? - History of Jellicent in Competitive Pokemon 

Drifblim: the balloon Jellicent: *the water balloon*

4:16 “Sir, there are too many stealth rocks and spikes. There are too many spin blockers” “Release the drill” “But sir, it’s OU” “Just do it”

"tyranitar was a true nightmare for jellicent" Me: makes sense considering tyranitar is a pretty good mon overall and it's part dark ty- "It has one more speed point than jellicent" Me: that's a fucking shame.

Like how Jellicent and Tentacruel were both so good on rain teams while Jellicent actually looks like the ghost of tentacruel

Energy ball Jelicent The one time a pokemon drove a dude into literal insanity

Gen 5 Excadrill: “You could not live with Jellicent. Where did that bring you? Back to me.”

Somalia Jellicent to this day remains one of Smogon greatest hits

"Certain players would remember the occasional deviation caused by energy ball on one fateful day in the summer of 2011." I shed a tear

I want to talk with the person who designed this: a ghost blue jellyfish who looks like Mr Pringles.

5:02 Never thought I'd hear about the Smogon massacre on False Swipe Gaming after all these years.

Starmie: literally minding its own business and just existing Jellicent: I’m about to end this man’s whole career

If anyone ever feels useless, remember that rotom fan has levitate.

How ANNOYING was Jellicent with rain ACTUALLY?

8:34 "Jellicent filled so many holes at once." That's what happens when you have tentacles in anime.

OMG... the "You Jelly?" energy ball reference in winter of 2020... "I can't..." lol

My friend used a Jellicent to beat the elite four in his black 2 Nuzlocke. It died to Iris’s Haxorus, but it really showed me how bulky it is.

It's raining outside, the house smells of beef bourguignon, the bed is warm and comfy, and False Swipe is talking about Jellicent. Tonight is a good night

Excadrill: “You couldn’t live with your failure, and where did that bring you? Back to me.”

I am immensely disappointed that the Jellicent Ferrothorn core wasn't called "Jellithorn". Ferrocent? Seriously smogon?

"Demonic jellyfish" So, Jellyfish.

I remember back when gen 5 was added to showdown 10 years ago, Jellicent's movepool was wrong and it had acsess to Calm Mind. Needless to say it was B U S T E D. Thank god it never got Calm Mind in the official games!

The crown tundra throwing the meta into disarray is an UNDERSTATEMENT. There’s SOO many huge threads that got released lol

Female Jellicent: *Sad jellyfish noises*

Teacher: You can't hear pictures Me: *And in this video, we'll be covering these competitive formats*

Ahhhh~ Whenever I see Jellicent I am always filled with fond memories of Twitch Plays Pokemon's Randomised Alpha Sapphire run. That run had evolutions randomised so there was quite a bit of hilarity when our Wingull Peeko (F) and Dusukabe our Duskull (M) evolved into a matching pair of Jellicents pretty much within an hour of each other. A few of players hated having two of the same pokemon on the team (because to be fair we already had a ghost and several waters) but Peeko and Dusukabe ended up playing quite differently as Dusukabe ended up as our main sweeper with Surf and high powered attacking moves of various types, whereas Peeko (even through randomisation) ended up with Recover, Toxic and Dive making her a fantastic staller, and this mix of roles grew to make the chat utterly love them especially as our other mon ended up being boxed or released. One player drawing a 'children's book' styled comic telling of how the two came to love each other... Other players depicting Swinu (our egg hatched Swinub to Marstomp to Lanturn) as their adopted child who evolved to join them in the oceans and to inherit the role of the party's Heart from our starter The Lamp (a Torchick with Judgement who was 'cursed' into being a Lampent with Defeatist after KOing a fairy type and losing Judgement to the move Fairy Lock)... Eventually we managed to win the game and in the 'epilogue' as we were desperately struggling to get The Lamp out of the PC to finally cure him of the Unseelie's Curse with the Dusk -Stone- Key we had finally gotten, we put both Peeko and Dusukabe in the Daycare and they ended up having two beautiful Frillish sons named Oneechan and Aniiki (who as it turned out in randomiser evolve into Dusclops O_O') who hatched right as The Lamp evolved into his true form: Lampeon - a Synchronise Flareon with Fire Punch, Shadow Punch, -some move I can't remember- and *Land's Wrath*. (Incidentally prior to this we'd been depicting The Lamp having Gaiacat, a female Glameow with Fissure and Thousand Waves stuck in the PC with him, as his mentor so him learning Land's Wrath with his evolution was just even more amazing! XD) Was the best TPP run lore-wise ever for so many reasons (seriously there were spies, the fae, music genre battles, the EPIC of the Lamp, three Hooh's caught back to back in single pokeballs and the unstoppable force of Wally the Wall) but the joys of having this sweet little married couple evolve and find happiness together despite all the PC shenanigans, randomisations and our general incompetence was just really incredible and yeah

“Jellicent returned to stymie starmie” lmao.

Jellicent: *exists* Meta: aw f*ck, I can’t believe you done this.

How GOOD was Mr. Pringles ACTUALLY?

I wouldn’t write Jellicent off so quickly in VGC 2021 yet. It still works really well as an anti Trick Room mon, especially since it resists all of Glastrier’s attacks. Which is good since Glastrier is broken.

I know from experience this jellyfish can be pretty annoying, still exceeded my expectations though. Being a bulky water type is both a blessing and a curse in Pokemon. On one hand, bulky waters are excellent pokemon that always have a place in the metagame, on the other hand, there are a million of them, so to stand out you need something else unique that the other million bulky waters don't have. I guess when spin blocking is needed or keldeo starts terrorizing the meta, Jellicent rises to OU, when its not, it tends to be dominant in whatever tier it ends up in, simply because its still a bulky water, and bulky waters are always needed somewhere.

Hey I wanted to let you know I got 8th place with jellicent at the mid season showdown at New Jersey’s only game in town. Thank to this Pokémon I made top 8 which I never made before and got 7th place. This Pokémon is a absolute tank!

I got a good one, 'How good was tyrantrum actually?' I think if you do this vid, it will be interesting and fun

I was wondering why anyone used cursed body, and then I remembered the Choice items existed, and Struggle gets blocked by Ghost. I'm now incredibly anxious about that idea, and I don't even play competitive.

Never forget Somalia. Don't mind me, just an old line of thought from my lurking on Showdown days. Edit : Oh snap! he actually mentioned it! That moment still makes me laugh.

5:01 for ones who arent aware, its the Somalian suicide, a great read.

Every stop to think about how there hasn't been an Amoongus OR Ferrothorn video yet, and how Furret, Parasect, and Wynaut do have videos.

When a gen 5 Pokémon has more screen time then Groundon in a FSW video

I used to think male jellicent was the shiny form

"How f*cked up was Gen 5's meta game?"

Competitive pokemon tiers can be so weird sometimes. In its debut generation, Jellicent is teamed up with Ferrothorn in OU, and then only 2 gens later, its teamed up with Ferroseed in PU.

Alternate title: How broken was Keldeo ACTUALLY? Featuring Jellicent

Next vid: How GOOD was Hoopa ACCTUALLY?

I’ve been waiting for this for a while. Great video!

Still waiting for how good was Zangoose actually.....

Could You Make"How Good Was Electrode Actully?*

Damn you actually mentioned the energy ball incident

Omg! Did you actually talk about gen 8?! I'm so happy to hear that you can finally bring the newest gen into these videos. Keep up the amazing work! Love your videos ❤

Ive waited for this for years. Thank you!

How about how an episode of how good was Ray Rizzo actually

How good was ninjask actually?

Watched tons of your vids, this is my favorite so far :)

Love seeing the gen 8 VGC popping up in the videos now!

I remember Jellicent as my absolute MVP in my Black 2 Nuzlocke

Gen 5 Pokémon finally get three sprites in the thumbnail.

In early gen 8 singles it was one of the best/least bad Pokémons to try to deal with Darmanitan

I remember Trip having a Frillish... would have been fun seeing Ash battle Trip's eventual Jellicent in the league if they didn't change the formula that much!

How good was Electode Actually?

Thanks! Now I can not unsee the pringle moustache

how can we do Gen 5 mons when we still have mons from gen 2 like the monster known as Stantler? HOW AMAZING WAS STANTLER REALLY?

17:42 How ironic. They take on the name MikotoMisaka, yet don't have a single Electric-type on their team.

When will the Exploud video be made?

How GOOD is Whimsicott ACTUALLY

It's nice to know that my favorite Pokemon had a good run in its debut generation

Absolutely EXCELLENT video 👍

Power creep in Gen 100: *Landorus in PU *

Now jellicent is amazing again thank to strength sap and the perfect counter to cinderace

That was the most amusing way to read the Catalan surname "Puig" I've ever heard. I love that you try to read them anyway, it's great.

Gen 5 OU anti-meta Offensive Trick Room set, by yours truly: Jellicent @ Leftovers EVs: 248 HP, 252 SpAtk, 8 SpDef IVs: 31/x/31/31/31/0 Nature: Quiet (+SpAtk, -Spd) -Water Spout/Hydro Pump/Scald -Shadow Ball/Ice Beam -Energy Ball -Trick Room

Just more gen 5s... we should return to gen 1 for Farfetch’d

I wish shiny jellicent was white with black moustache.

I love Jellicent!!! It was so clutch in my 4th Gen 5 playthrough x) Big Jelly!!!

I love the videos about gen 5 Pokémon on the competitive scene

Jellicent in Gen 5: A god amongst man, literally one of the staples of a tier Jellicent in Gen 7 and past: Fallen off harder than anything but Tauros

8:11 That surname is actually spelled like "Pooch", but that was difficult to know. Nice vid guys.

Really hoping that you can make about Eon Due. Love your channel btw!!

Jellicent is my favorite water type aside from starmie and cloyster. Love that thing, my first water type of gen 5.

That's one of my favorite gen 5 pokemon If it wasn't for the knock off buff it would probably stay UU or at least RU It is underrated jellicent has even access to strength sap and can burn the target which fix it's low defense stat

Me: ok jellicent it seems kinda weak Falseswipegaming: so it was amazing and a pokemon needed to be unbanned to balance it

A neat idea for the next video would be covering some of the ultra beasts in one video instead of just one.

Nice vid, Flase Swipe. Now you need to remake the Moltres vid and include gen 8!

So here you see the Gen 5 power creep, that killed so many nice Mons

How good was Jellicent? About 26 minutes, starting in gen V.

Great video

Jellicent has always been a favorite of mine. Gotta love the chonky jellyfish-squid hybrid. Even if he’s not OU anymore, I still love using him and I think he’s a sleeper pick even today.

Jellicent also kinda looking like King Bob-omb

I always like Jellicent. Such a fun pokes

Jellicent was on both of my black/2 in game teams and I loved it

“tyranitar was a nightmare” “makes sense i mean its a dark type with a sand boost from sandstorm” “it had one more point of speed” “damn that sucks”

Real quick what was being referenced at 5:09

Attempt 3 of me trying to get FSG to ask *How good was Gyarados actually?*

Jellicent was always a important member on my doubles team. My boy was always a great set up and bulky tank for my trick. Him and Musharna kept my team going. Back then ran Jelli., Musharna, Mega Gyara, Dragonite, Heatran, Amoongus

Jellicent was my most used back in gen 5 for sure

Anyone remembers The road to humilau that marlon’s had a seizure when cursed body activity Still Gives me creeps 😱😱😖

Actually, Jellycent worst debuff was everyone getting Knock Off, the rain debuff was bad, but that move killed the jelly

Starting to remember y I liked this Pokemon so much in the past. I had forgotten how useful it could be

Just did a duo sweep with jellicent so, I’m in love

As a casual shitter I enjoy watching this series to see how each of my favorite Pokemon performs(or underperforms) in competitive games. As for Jelicent, I learned how great he is from a White Nuzlocke. He ended up being my trump card and the only mon on my team to fight both Ghetsis and Alder.

I think a series that spotlights certain players through the years would be cool, especially players that have used strange off-meta pokemon like pachirisu or murkrow.

@11:24 Andrew burley! I trained with him! I never knew he placed so high! Mr Burley! My boi!

I really wanna see how GOOD was Gastrodon ACTUALLY. It's one of my favourite gen 4 mons and you teased in the quagsire video that it got a big tier jump at one one point.
