Some will never figure out how to get Iron Hands in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Iron Hands Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Iron Hands Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.
Some may argue that the above paragraph is completely unrelated to anything. I'd say its important information to consider.
The below text is very relevant to many people.
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 YouTube. In any case, he's a powerful metagame force, with absolutely no interest in online game development schools.

What if you wanted to be a wall But gamefreak made you a rock ice type
-
Sturdy defensive Pokémon that are difficult to eliminate are nicknamed walls by the competitive singles community.
-
The best wall breaker is the kool-aid man
-
Wallbreakers are very fun. You click one button and a Pokémon explodes or takes a ton of damage. It doesn't get simpler than that folks.

"These are WallBreakers, and their job is to punish greedy teams." Executive Producer Dick Wolf
-
Crawdaunt is such an epic mon bro. The risk/reward of having to position it correctly but getting a free KO (or at least guaranteed significant progress) pretty much every time you do is so fun, satisfying, and yet balanced. I knew he was the one when banded Knock did 70% to Melmetal back in Gen 8. We love Mr. Craw 📞📞📞

they break walls
-
Don’t do it Jimmy, hunting Iron Mugulis is too dangerous and basically a death sentence! 🍵
-
Hoopa Unbound is my favorite wallbreaker oat. Honorable mention - mamoswine, conkelldur and kyurem (all forms)
-
Iron Mugulis is my least favourite wall-breaker, being able to use his Quark-Drive boosted Sp. Atk STAB Thunder to break through staples like Skarmory; a wall-breaker having a broken heal move, in his signature move Half-Full, is too broken GameFreak!
-
Oh yes, gen 7 definitely introduced the terrain mechanics :)))
-
The unexpected Balatro music out of left field combined with how quiet it was really fucked with me I won't lie
-
fun fact: Mega Gardevoir is actually a good wallbreaker in gen 6 as well. It can punish Chansey with Psyshock, and has a very strong one with 165 special attack. It can punish Latios with Hyper Voice, and it can use Will'o'Wisp to get in chip damage on pokemon while punishing physical attackers like Bisharp. It also can punish steel types with Focus Blast or even HP Fire or Ground, as well as Taunt stall pokemon out of using their recovery or status moves.

Shout-out to the goofy snowman Darmanitan-G for the brief period it was OU. Absolutely ridiculous.
-
"The competitive singles community" sounds very funny out of context
-
What's funny about Gen 6 is that, despite the power of Mega's and wall breakers, the defensive values are almost as high up there. The omnipresence of Scald and Knock-Off combined with threats like Ferrothorn make sweeping really hard to do.
-
What sucks is a lot of wall breakers need <100 acc moves to break stuff, so you could get your breaker in at the exact right time and just completely whiff an attack you absolutely needed to land. I pass on a lot of them for that reason.
-
Have fond memories of Banded Terrakion back in BW, before Lando-T was released. That CC 2hkod max defense skarmory most of the time
-
Dragalge is such a flavorfully done wallbreaker. Adaptability on it makes lots of sense. It started as a ambush based water/poison type disguising itself as rotten kelp. By becoming dragon/poison (a worse typing compared to its pre evolution), it keeps its water resist, more than doubles its damage output against the surrounding water types, & no longer needs to rely strictly on that to feed. 252+ SpA Dragalge Sludge Bomb vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Deoxys-Defense: 67-81 (22 - 26.6%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery. 252+ SpA Adaptability Dragalge Dragon Pulse vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Deoxys-Defense: 86-102 (28.2 - 33.5%) -- 88.2% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery. Dragalge would need 146 base special attack without adaptability to deal this much damage. That's an insane boost of damage. Anyway, pokemon is LOADED with wallbreakers. Kommo-0, Dragonite, Flapple, Goodra, Hydreigon, Gouging Fire, Raging Bolt, Azumarill, Gallade (Gen 9 gave it Sharpness lol), Flutter Mane, Chandelure, Aegislash, Basculegion, Ceruledge, Armorouge, Palafin, Clawitzer, Gyarados, Araquanid, Nidoking, Excadrill, Lando-T, Torterra (Gen 9 buffs were legit huge), Diggersby, all forms of Volcarona, Minior, Hisui Arcanine, Kleavor, Hisui Sam etc. It's such a fun archtype to play.
