Pokemon Competitive Singles is a world where Cryogonal, the Specially Defensive Ice type Utility Pokemon, has had a rough experience. Defensive Ice Types would have an easier time surmounting Mt. Everest than overcoming their horrible type weaknesses. In Gen 8, Cryogonal was Untiered, meaning it wasn't even good enough to meet ZU's usage threshold. But in Gen 9, it has settled into the RU tier. That may not sound like much but i'ts quite a significant improvement. Let's evaluate the many Nuanced reasons for this shift.

Spoilers: It's because it can Terastallize into a type other than Ice now.

Iron Mugulis, or perhaps even Iron Fellow, may have orchestrated all of this from behind the scenes. Or is any of this even real? Nobody truly knows.

Thanks to Krabawiwi for the request. Become a Tier 2 Patron to request a Pokemon for me to highlight in a short video just like this one.

Some will never figure out how to get Cryogonal in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Cryogonal Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Cryogonal Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.

This video and most of my videos are about Smogon Singles formats. Thanks.

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.
