    Hearing you say “hippo-down” instead of “hipp-ow-don” killed me

    Came from tiktok. Even though I’ve never played vgc and haven’t touched competitive since Gen 6 smogon, I’ve found competitive history interesting
    This video was well made, props to everyone who contributed!

    The opening statement caught me so off-guard lol. Great video breaking down the weather over time! I think you did a great job weaving humor into the informative content, and your delivery of the script felt very comfortable and professional. I would love to watch more videos like this!

    This was a great look back at previous gens. My first look at rain was in 2018 with Kyogre Xerneas being somewhat common. It’s super interesting to see that manual rain was the beginning of that strategy back in the day. Great vid!

    Gen 3: Drizzle and Drought are powerful abilities tied to Pokemon that can end our region as we know it.
    Gen 5: Using the power of the dreams, we can encounter Pokémon with abilities never seen before.
    Gen 7: Fuck it, Pelipper and Torkoal have it now.

    Hey amazing Video I love content like this! Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think you mentioned the changes to turn order and speed in Gen 8. Since they get recalculated mid-turn now it does change the power of abilities like Swift Swim and things like Max Air Stream for Kingdra especially in VGC. I'm not sure if it was a net-positive for rain (since other teams can use that to their benefit as well) and noone will ever know for sure but I do think it's worth a mention.

      Thunder can’t miss in the rain, but that’s just unique to thunder not every electric move! There’s plenty of things about rain that we didn’t have time to cover Pokémon is a very deep game after all

    What about TopOgre? That was pretty big throughout 2010 as well?
    Additionally, why are you only covering Worlds? There are several other great rain teams that could’ve also made the list like Alex Ogloza’s victorious Scarf Politoed team at the 2014 US Nationals.
