DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.

Example of ban pokemon in gen 7 LC
Prying mantis of death
Weird yoga child with an onion on its head
Haha funny monke slap go brr
i’m addicted to listening to these at 2x speed
I'm sad he didn't mention the fake out/ last resort set. I used to love running that cheese lol
Wow. Never would I hear that an evolved Pokemon is completely useless in later gens after it's debut, but it's pre-evolution has been doing good in Little Cup. What kind of " Monkey See, Monkey Doo " is this?
mine had . fake out and last resort
thats it, best gimmick ever
I’m surprised kings rock wasn’t mentioned
It makes these two pokemon busted
Give Ambipom Mach Punch and Bullet Punch
won't help much but it's something
thank you
le monke
So basically
Past Gen 4
It lingered in borderline even if it should've dropped
After aipom was banned, I stopped playing LC pretty much.
My way to beat opposing aipom is my own aipom, or lots of priority moves.
I come back now and again, and players still forfeit when I kill one or two mons with a diglett sash lead when I don't use rocks but spam earthquake and stone edge
Ambipom is my favorite gen 4 pokemon and king rock gimmicks are fun. It just has no good coverage that makes use of its abilities. King rock sets in anything goes are nice
No fake out / last resort set???
The stupidest thing about Aipom getting Pickup and Run Away is that the only time you could use an Aipom pre-credits is in Colosseum… which has no wild battles, so your only use would be for pickup, which really isnt worth it in thise games, since you have really easy infinite money
Is it really still a 'one hit KO' if the move always hits five times?
As Ambipom fell, Aipom rose.
ambipom was so underrated i remember using it in gen 7 uu with silk scarf..it was the star of my team it's only that pokemon like mienshao are stronger. i remember using a 122 power stab return and with 361 speed outspeeding everything. SO UNDERRATED
You're gonna gloss over how in gen 3 one of Aipom's sets were a skarmbliss counter?
1:16 something about this sentence combined with the image of Farfetch'd jousting with his leek against Aipom gets me everytime.
I'm on a journey to pinpoint my favorite pokemon. And I got to say Aipom is almost there.
Aipom in gens 2-3: Horrible
Ambipom is introduced: NEW LIFE
Ambipom after gen 5: Nevermind
Aipom after gen 5: *God.*
Aipom in LC in a nutshell: N O
Yes finally
Ambipom holds a special place in my heart due to that one time I was trolling showdown with a Fake Out + Return team and one poor unlucky soul switched a Dialga into a Low Kick.
pokemon legend arceus make aipom really really cute, that's why i come here
any fake out into last resort users in the chat?
I guess Skill Link did not help Ambipom much.
I love the effect Tail Slap has on impact, it shows the staggering difference in power compared to Fury Swipes
Ambipom’s sad tiering case prooves it’s not always Gamefreak who screws Pokemon over. The Smogon heads sometimes are pretty braindead with how they assign Pokemon to certain tiers.
fond memories of getting thrashed by stab technician fake outs in the DP days
