Rise of the Phoenix: ADV Moltres' Journey from BL to OU 

not to worry, we will absolutely get to the intricacies of the niche-but-worth-using pokes like jynx

hoping that includes some of my favourite BLs, medicham, houndoom, dodrio

​@@Munby1 medi and doom, definitely. dodrio unfortunately is more gimmick tier (a la slaking) but that will have a place on this channel as well

glad to hear it man, I tried to keep your car in mind while recording this time

@@BKCplaysPokemon lol this time i watched your video from my computer, but i'll try it in my car as well ;)

this is something I'll definitely keep in mind, I figured I hit on all the points in this video but I see now that more focus on a single replay would absolutely help to make the point as clear as possible. appreciate it, glad you dug the vid regardless

these are absolutely legitimate points, zard is also a great pokemon. I plan to do a charizard vs. moltres video in addition to giving zard his own

if it's so easily exploitable then it's not really a good option, that's the whole idea

He was trying to adjust the screen.

I’ve seen it crush OU too

And it's ou now

Imagine if it also had inferno and focus blast

hmm I don't think so unfortunately. it can only sub a few times in sand, morning sun is bad recovery, and it's still going to lose to blissey. toxic over wisp won't get you too far since without hp grass you lose to refresh pert. protect or sub/wisp/fire blast or fthrower/hpgrass is a good set, sunny day/wisp/morning sun/flamethrower works on weather clearing teams, but I don't think it can go any further than that

late replay but while the sub stall birds are really awesome in the battle frontier, there is unfortunately a few things in competetive overused that really hold them back: 1. all opponents have max PP-ups. While you can go protect→sub→protect→sub→protect against an enemy rock slide user in the frontier and still be at 75%, its not so smooth against 16 PP slides. You have to go sub→protect x4 instead which reduces your health to 50%, which makes you more vulnerable to potential double-edges etc. afterwards. 2. and much bigger: permanent sand completely nullifies lefties recovery. In level 50 frontier/battle tower challenges, tyranitar doesn't exist but in OU, its basically everywhere. In sand, you cannot even fully PP-stall a single rock slide because you will die from sand damage after stalling the last PP. Also, sand reduces morning sun heal. I've been messing around with a team that tries to get rid of Ttar and then rain dance to enable curse snorlax and sub protect zapdos and while it is definitely fun to use, the PP stalling doesn't always work that well. It can still be nice and substitute and protect are still good moves in their own rights, but pressure PP-stalling with it it is simply not reliable enough to be a viable core strategy imo.

gsc jynx definitely deserves its own video, thanks for the suggestion

not in link battles, no

sub+protect on zappy and moltres is awesome in the frontier. You are not only not losing to rock move users anymore, you can actually switch INTO them (on earthquake). So satisfying
