Pokemon Showdown Competitive Singles exists. SS OU otherwise known as Gen 8 OU was rated as my worst format, yet can I truly judge it by such harsh standards? Only by gaming can we illuminate the truth.
Is this insane?
Skarmory, Metagross, Salamence, Tyranitar, and more, are sometimes not members of the metagame.
The below text is very relevant to many people.

Thankyou Pinkacross for coming on!

Critique: I never like these guest episodes because the guests always sound like they're 16 and talk exclusively in gamerspeak. Jim is the only Pokémon player I watch, and it's because he always speaks in full sentences instead of acronyms and lingo. Obviously his air of sophistication is a persona he puts on, but for me it's like an escape from modern gamer cringe, and so much more pleasant to listen to. I watch Spirit of the Law for the same reason, another Youtube personality covering a competitive video game who talks like an adult. Pretty sure I'm not the only older viewer with this opinion.
The pinkacrossover we've all been waiting for
I can never tell who’s clicking the buttons in these collabs
Nice.
Pinkacross's content has been some of the most insightful gameplay and team building content I've seen on this platform. Thank you for having him on your wonderful and entertaining channel! 🩷🪲🤝🐎
From Mr. Craw to Mr. Cross. Bangin' crossover!
Were they commentating on recorded matches? I dont understand, at 28:08 they just kept talking and nothing was pressed but then the game was won by 2 ice shards? How??
Multiple brain team this is insane
Love this duo based content, really informative with pinka giving reasonings for what he wanted to do. Would love to see more of this in the future
Gen 8 Brians
…and truly, in the end, it was a Wailord Wednesday after all.
Pinkacross and a Jim collab is legit my fave. You guys are awesome
"lets not get burned again" immediately burned lmao
4:19 you right pinkacross. this is insane
How does this crossover affect the Flame Orb economy, viewers are left wondering
wailord gaming
Game 1 is rough…I will defend the torn stay in because the only way they could lose is through theweavile, so guaranteeing it doesn't click sd and wreak a sweep is how they lose…the slowbro stay in was crazy tho
Also tyranocif transformed from gen 3 hero to gen 8 villain while the tables with the hippo also flipped …
Arctozotl is so bad lmao I was playing it on a hail team and it couldn't even oustpeed a +1 volc on hail
waow
whale gaming folks, epic.
24:58 It was at this point in the video that I realized that the reason Pinkacross kept calling Galarian Zapdos "Jizz-up" was because he was saying "G-Zap"
Ah yes, the "Clawtizer" Rain team. Not to be confused with Clawitzer Rain. Two different pokemon.
pinkacross nice voice 😁😁
bad luck brian
It's wailord Wednesday folks
Now this is epic
I'm loving the gen 8 climb. I hated it as a casual player when it was the current meta, but it seems balanced enough that it's fun to watch strong players navigate it.
Wailord Gaming!
Praise the 'Lord 🙏
The goat! Best pokemon and coolest person!
22:29 Jim’s face when he said Ferrothorns name 😂
more pinkacrossovers pls
Jim playing around ice punch really shows his awareness of the threat of Dusknoir against his own Lando-T. Very insane gameplay.
Pinkacif.

Would love to see more like this with more competitive players
this is an adorable mashup, thanks guys
i loved when the jimothy gaming said “got the whole team shamoned”
The fun fact about specs octillery water spout in the rain is actually outdated now as of gen 8. Inteleon with the exact same set except using hydro cannon since it doesn't get water spout does more simply because it's got 20 more special attack.
At least for special attacks, I was trying to find if anything could OHKO max SpDef AV Blissey on a neutral hit without any stat boosts.
252+ SpA Choice Specs Sniper Tera Water Inteleon Hydro Cannon vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Blissey in Rain on a critical hit: 690-813 (96.6 – 113.8%) — 81.3% chance to OHKO
16:00 god the opponents name🥲
Really excited for this one, you two have a great rapport
The gnomes knew their team. They told the masses to run double regen buzzwole sand. The gnomes must be stopped.
In regards to the Slowbro staying in, I think that speaks to the fundamental problem of Regieleki. That mon has literally nothing significant it can do against any Ground type, so you always have to go for either a double or a potential momentum sink and give your opponent a free turn. Both options are extremely risky. The question you always have to ask is how bad it is to allow your opponent that free turn. If you can afford it, I'd always click Volt Switch. I think in your specific situation, you had a healthy Landorus which could come in on Excadril, so there was no reason to make an aggressive double that turn, especially with the Slowbro threatening a Scald burn and Gapdos was your wincon.
the people yearn for more wailord
