to send it to ou or anywhere near but maybe just maybe b-barrel could carve out a niche for itself in pu this time around well not really although it wasn't like it was completely unusable if it had received the sc aquajet combo a generation earlier b-barrel likely would have been a force in the tier however gen NUMBER_TOKEN pu experienced absolutely ridiculous power creep it was not at all difficult to completely wall b-barrel when jealousen was one of the best pokemon around and completely blank both its stats sure one could invest in pursuit support but that wasn't guaranteed to work and even if it had been it generally wasn't worth investing in just for b barrel when it had so many other issues besides the existence of jelly not only did it struggle to find opportunities for safe setup but it was also thwarted easily even after a boost by common pokemon like pharisee leafeon and girder was be barrel completely unusable no not at all noah certainly struggled against some common pokemon it was also potentially incredibly dangerous in the right match-up blowing through much of the bulkier meta game and picking off revenge killers with its plus NUMBER_TOKEN life or boosted attacks the pokemon that kept it in check were just too prominent for it to see real usage this time around b-barrel's untiered status was not as harsh of reflection and indicament as it had previously been as it wasn't a purely terrible pokemon anymore it just didn't fit into the tears environment and it still had a tiny slight niche in spite of that and that's it so how good was b-barrel actually well most would assume that it was unusable garbage and for the most part it was except for that one moment where it wasn't and it and beethoven teamed up to destroy ou and ubers alike ensuring that moody would never again return to competitive singles sadly aside from that gamefreak has mostly neglected it the addition of source dance and aqua jet in generation NUMBER_TOKEN was actually great but not quite enough at that point for it to find use even in the lowest tier as hopefully they can buff b-barrel somehow without completely destroying the balance of the game thanks for watching everyone and as always if you liked the video and you want to see more be sure to subscribe to fall swipe gaming for more weekly pokemon content and in the comments i want to know what do you think about competitive b barrel how would you buff it besides giving it another outrageous ability like moody whatever it is let me know in the comments also thank you so much to our patrons for continuing supporting our videos and thank you to everyone else watching as well
