Hi everyone. Welcome to another Pokémon of the Week. Today we’re
reviewing Jynx, the human shape Pokémon.
I just faced one today, I got to say I didn’t see that coming
and was expecting some kind of strategy, unfortunately it didn’t
even exist. As soon as I knew Jynx was our Pokémon of the Week,
I started researching a little bit. It is not that bad, really;
has good speed, special defense and special attack. But its
horrible defense is just a major reason not to play Jynx in
today’s environment…
Good news; we now have Forewarn; we can now know the move set of
our foe, which is always helpful considering a whole team
strategy. I don’t think I have to tell you that’s better than
oblivious.
Let’s move on to the move combinations, let’s see what’s up with
this girl…
Use lovely kiss and hope for the best. With this you have some
more time to predict a switch or just try to sweep as long as
you can… You can use substitute instead of lovely kiss to earn
some more time.
When should I use this Pokémon?
You really don’t want to use this Pokémon, but if you fight for
fun then give it a shot as your first Pokémon, with the ability
to “read” your opponent’s moves you can predict strategies.
What should I use against this Pokémon?
Nowadays fire punch Electivire is a popular physical sweeper.
Tyranitar, Metagross and Aerodactyl will work great.
Bottom line:
Why didn’t we get a new evolution of this one? This lady really
needed one…

Man, I wanna know what I went
on when writing about Lucario, forgot to erase
2 rows.
Oh well, what is done is done.
Abilities here are strange for me. Oblivious negates Attracting
this pokemon
which is good but Forewarn lets you see the opponents attack
which I really
dont understand.
Nature to get the S.Atk. up.
Bright Powder to make sure some evasion.
Weakness are Fire, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Steel and Dark. Pretty much
weaknesses.
Ice Beam is a good, strong ice attack which she likes.
Psychic, well, listen to the fat lady. If not, she will make you
listen
Because of Bright Powder you can use Double Team effectively.
Not only 1 but
MANY fat ladies!!!
Protect to make sure you can hold of that big strong fat attack.
Hmm, not to many moves (good moves) but this would do some
tricks.

Jynx
#124
Type:Ice and Psychic
Ablitiy: Forewarn
Well this poke just always has looked weird >.> Anyways having
stab for ice and psychic attacks is pretty nice and forewarn
lets you see your opponents attacks which I love (haven’t seen
how it works though). Its Special attack reaching a MAX of 361
is really good.
Jynx
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Special Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP or Special Def
Item: Focus Sash
Calm Mind
Psychic
Ice Beam
Energy Knot
Calm Mind and then sweep. Its speed is still not greatat 317 but
still good.. Not a lot is gonna ohko you as you have focus sash
for physical attacks cause of your low def and your good special
def plus calm mind makes it that you survive special attacks as
well.
Jynx
Nature: Modest
EVs: 252 Special Attack, Spd just needs to be at 264 spd so use
the rest on HP
Item: Choice Scarf
Ice Beam
Psychic
Perish Song/ Shadow Ball
Energy Ball
I usually don’t like hit and run pokez but this one is ok.
They’re better options out there but jynx aint bad for the job
just case it has stab ice and psychic.
Overall when used correctly, Jynx can do very well. You even use
it as a annoyer with mean look and perish song. Its up to you
what you do with this weird looking pokemon but just remember
that it has horrible defense so a focus sash on her would be a
good idea.
