QOTD : My first thought on this meta I want to try smack down Chestnaught for safe swap but sadly double super effective wing attack is so opressive that you can only flip matchup against Charizard but not other fliers.

I tried exactly this in UL a couple of seasons ago and it was unfortunately disappointing. Fun to see flyers switching in to Smack Downs, but ultimately not worth it

QotD - A favorite surprise fast move I would have to say Granbull with Snarl. It is so much better than Charm because Granbull hits extremely hard and it will almost always force them to use a shield. Very good because it also baits out Steel Types because they would expect a Charm user but it is not.

QOTD: Snarl Shadow Granbull is what i used for the single-type cup, usually i saw steel types swap in and i nuked them with close combat Also crunch baiting is good because people shield when granbull is out and it can lower the defense

Wait Pangoro learns Bullet Punch 👀👀. I built my GL one this season. Also, congrats! QOTD: I'm guessing Greedent with Tackle, but in limited metas. Dubwool would be better, but I don't have one, so I'm gonna try to get one for GL this weekend. Also, the recommended PvPoke move for Slurpuff is Charm, but I'm never gonna run it with Charm, and Fairy Wind seems more consistent. I never used my Slurpuff because I onlt built it this season, but it seems like a really underrated mon

QOTD: chesnaght with smack down

Could you explain why at 1:46 you can in with Lucario to "predict the instant switch"? It seems really bad to me because if they don't switch you just gave up switch and if you come in with Golbat you could just switch if they switch so it would be the same thing anyway.

@CallumOnToast

Жыл бұрын

Because from that range Golbat completely farms them down, so they have to switch out. This means I'm not giving up switch at all, because worst case scenario it's something in the back that beats Lucario, I just swap into Golbat, but based on their team comp I expected an anti flyer in the back. You saw at the end they were in range to be counter farmed down by Lucario too, so it was a low risk play. Now let's say they had something in the back that typically loses to Lucario, but with a slight energy advantage & because I'm running close combat (so I'm a bit slower to the charged moves) they then outpace to 2 moves because it took me a second or 2 to swap out, I'm then in a really bad position.

I think when I built it, it was the only Zubat I had kept because I purified a lot for the cheap purification for various team rocket tasks & then mass transferred them. I have one other purified Golbat but I gave it the legacy ominous wind back when I was doing Team Rocket challenge content, & it's obviously just not that good of a move anymore but I don't want to get rid of it.

I didn’t know Pangoro could learn bullet punch! That looks waaay more interesting than that nonsense of a move called snarl

I'm already dreading any great league formats where carbink Is allowed this league is gonna be just straight RPS

Imo Carbink is way weaker than people make it out to be. It's extremely inflexible, similarly to bastiodon. It's bad match ups are REAL BAD. You can't do anything except watching your opponent mercilessly farm you down. Giga broken Gfisk remains the strongest pokemon.

Another vid. Even tho you're running counters to carbink there's been almost no need to charge move to kill it. Carbink is over hyped. Definitely not a top threat. Most the regular meta we have kills it. I'm sure Scrafty can in the zeros

Dude I am not playing these cups just super annoying
