Thank you Z for casting my battles! It’s my second time being casted and both times have been on your channel. It’s an honor! I wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas 🎄 Thanks for being so wholesome! 😊
I wonder if Skeledirge will be better with Blast Burn. I know it will be STAB but Disarming Voice and Shadow Ball is already a very good moveset for it.
I meaaan. You’re using the disarming voice primarily for dark and normal types that resist shadow ball correct? Hard to believe STAB blast burn wouldn’t do the same neutral damage, if not more.
@@mattattack21 Yeah that's what I was thinking when I was telling my gf that Skele isn't even done in the oven yet lol..Comm Day will see Skele get BB and hopefully fire spin/ember! Or maybe it'll be one of the other starters to get 2 moves..either way BB won't hurt its coverage it's STAB and one of the most shielded moves in the game!
Its so cool how when the paldean starters came out everyone thought they werent good but skeledirge might ve been ok but nothing out of the ordinary And now everyone loves the mon and is enjoying it so much as a really strong meta pick
Meowscarada is too squishy & its moves are too slow & quaqaval has potential maybe add hydro cannon & it may be very interesting 🤷♂️ only skeledirge is very meta
Love master league. Sad it’s not as accessible to everyone. But now this has made me confident in building my lucky hundo skeler. Keep up the work zyonik!
@@LazyNinjass and XL Candy only came out 3 years ago? With the mega rework maybe 1-2 years go? I have 6-7 ML Pokémon built up and only melmetal is my only legendary/mythical. The rest are your common dragonite etc. I agree that if someone plays regularly you can build 2-3 Pokémon for ML. However let’s not kid ourselves that out of the 3 leagues if you start as a new account building 3 solid mons; ML would be the one that takes the longest. You need perfect or near perfect IVs, 296 XL Candy and depending on if lucky or not anywhere from 1.5-2 million dust to build 3 solid Pokémon.
@user-qw9fy9js2o it's really not that hard unless you live in a rural area, even then you could always get your daily pass and host a raid were others will remotely join.
Try my master league team Garchomp: mud shot, sand tomb and outrage Metagross: bullet punch, meteor mash and earthquake Gyrados: dragon breath, crunch and outrage or aqua tail
I have another team for master league Dragonite: dragon breath, dragon claw and hurricane Metagross: bullet punch, meteor mash and earthquake Tyranitar: smack down, crunch and stone edge
However one starter mon in particular that im excited to see debut in Pogo, that is not yet in Pogo is Rillaboom. If you take a look at what its stats are supposed to be, it not only has stanima and defense that is similar to Swampert/Skeledirge, but it also has an attack stat that is similar to base Blaziken at the same time! Thus because of that it has a max CP of around 3800 something at lvl 50, and would thus be the highest CP Starter mon, outside of Mega Evolutions, even surpassing Primerina. It is also the grass type starter with the highest base attack not counting Megas, its attack is 239, while having about a 170ish defense if i remember correctly and a 225 staninma just like Swampert. To put things into perspective Mega Venusar has a base attack of 241 and the mythical Pokemon Zarude has a base attack of 242. Additionally the standard moves it comes with before even including thr eventual legacy Frenzy plant, its stamdard best grass set b4 FP is Razor leaf and Grass Knot and even when running that mediocre set, it still does better in DPS ans TDO than Chesnaught running Vine Whip and legacy Frenzy plant. So imagine when it does get legacy FP and then a shadow variant to top it off!? My guess is that a Shadow Rillaboom with legacy frenzy plant would be one of the most powerful grass type pokemon and likely even surpassing Kartana as a grass type attacker, atleast base Kartana, likely not shadow Kartana but thats something we domt have yet either. Thou it would have higher dps than shadow Rilla for sure but likely not TDO and they may possibly be matched overall when looking at their ER values but possibly. But it definitely will be superior over non shadow Kartana in both DPS and TDO, and to even do better than a non shadow kartana is still nothing to laugh at, as that is currently that hardest hitting non mega grass type in the game as of now, for its shadow has yet to exist either. This is a starter that, when it gets legacy fp, and a shadow variant, that it has power potential to supercede megas. Definitely better than Meg Venusar and as for Mega Sceptile, im not sure, but i think its a good possibility that shadow rillaboom woth FP would surpass Mega Sceptile as a grass attacker, or if not quite it would either be matched or very close in performance. This is definitely a starter pokemon, with the power capability to be comparible to a shadow Psudo legendary. Rillaboom was also my 1st starter i choose whej i 1st played Pokemon Sword and is my favorite Galar Starter
When Skeledirge eventually gets its community day move, do you think it will likely use it instead of shadow ball or instead of disarming voice? Or do you think trainers will just use incinerate as it's fire move and keep fairy and ghost moves?
Probably a side grade. Might find use on some teams or speciality cups but both Disarming Voice and Shadow Ball are extremely hard to forgo and give Dirge a lot of coverage and shield pressure. Especially with Incinerate damage buff, it doesn’t really NEED a Fire charge move.
Unless we see incinerate or disarming voice nerfs, I think it'll be dependent on what is in the meta of each format Like Dragons are everywhere in Masters, so people might opt to keep disarming voice in masters, but if registeel is out of hand in great league we might see more blast burn sets
Skeledirge is an absolute menace in every league. The only way to guarantee (guarantee being the key word here) you win against a team with Skeledirge is to bring 3 counters to it.
As new as it is, I love Skeledirge and I love the disruption it has been creating but by no means it can be as oppressive and frustrating to face as Swampert was in its prime and its heyday, let's not; SHE AIN'T NO DIVA!
The problem was when they intrroducted XL candy. Now it's a LOT harder to compete at Master League unless you've got a team of fully XL'd Pokemon. It's just not attainable for a lot of people. I used to enjoy GBL too but I've only got maybe 3 total that are XL maxed.
@@LazyNinjassI know it is and I do apologize if it came off as snarky. I just find it a little frustrating to read the comment and realize not everyone has the time, effort and people to get any mythical/legendary, much less power them up for master league.
its low CP tho T_T I took this beaut for a spin and I got good leads LOL say bye bye to melmetal and dialga but then Kyogre and Groudon are so common = ))
NO. Swampert is still Triple king. Skeledirge cannot surprise anything. You know exactly which charge attack is coming and you can time swaps, optimize fast move pressure, and over farm with ease on an incinerate user. Skeledirge has way more typing disadvantages as well. Swampert is a generalist with speed and power. Skeledirge needs type advantage normally and loses most neutral situations only to pull a shield.

Amazing showcase here, happy holidays!
Congrats, Just Browser! Great Battles! You and your opponent both had fully maxed out perfect Mew Twos, wow!
A few minuts ago I finally got my revanche against you for this amazing loss a while back lol,mrhaze1407 GG
Skele is dominating everywhere it goes 🐊
Hi king
Mine is called lacoste

I wonder if Skeledirge will be better with Blast Burn. I know it will be STAB but Disarming Voice and Shadow Ball is already a very good moveset for it.
I think it'll stay as is, the coverage is too good!
i think a pokemon shouldn't have all the good moves then it wouldn't be fun right
agreed blast burn would soft nerf it@@ZyoniK
I meaaan. You’re using the disarming voice primarily for dark and normal types that resist shadow ball correct? Hard to believe STAB blast burn wouldn’t do the same neutral damage, if not more.

Around 10:30. Yes. Xerneas access to Megahorn. You're right
Fun fact: Only a double boosted Poltergeist from Shadow Chandelure can one shot Lugia 😅
i never fell in love with a crocodile pokemon this thing is so fun to use
Dirge feels so good in each league, but not broken, it’s perfectly balanced.
Naaa, Swampert was on another level of brokenness lol
Skeledirge is great in the main series games as it can hold itself up against Legendaries. Love seeing it do the same thing in GO haha
Its so cool how when the paldean starters came out everyone thought they werent good but skeledirge might ve been ok but nothing out of the ordinary
And now everyone loves the mon and is enjoying it so much as a really strong meta pick
Meowscarada is too squishy & its moves are too slow & quaqaval has potential maybe add hydro cannon & it may be very interesting 🤷♂️ only skeledirge is very meta
Skeledirge was very good before the inc. buff, now its just insanely OP
Skeledirge better not get an immediate nerf, I don’t have a good one yet but I run a near Hundo in the Ultra League and it’s GREAT
Swampert has a double weakness in grass and Skeledirge has none. So I think its the best triple threat now.
That’s a good point. Grass just demolishes Swamp.
It also has very similar stats to swampert its almost like a fire Swampert
Love master league. Sad it’s not as accessible to everyone. But now this has made me confident in building my lucky hundo skeler. Keep up the work zyonik!
Game has been out for over 5 years. How is it not accessible to everyone yet. People should have at least 3 master Pokemon to play by now
@@LazyNinjass and XL Candy only came out 3 years ago? With the mega rework maybe 1-2 years go? I have 6-7 ML Pokémon built up and only melmetal is my only legendary/mythical. The rest are your common dragonite etc.

@@user-qw9fy9js2o it’s I myth that you need perfect Pokemon to win there. I’ve made it to expert rank with no more than a level 45 Pokemon.
They should atleast make 1 candy xl along with 3 candy guaranteed per catch
That would help a lot for ml
Try my master league team
Garchomp: mud shot, sand tomb and outrage
Metagross: bullet punch, meteor mash and earthquake
Gyrados: dragon breath, crunch and outrage or aqua tail
Sounds like a team for ml premier
I have another team for master league

Rilla definitely would be one of those starters to be able to rock the Master League as well
To stomp them Kyogres and ofcourse the occasional Swampert ot especially on Master primer where Swamp would be more frequent
Also has a higher attack stat than Meoscarda as well as being more bulkier thus, Rillaboom > Meowscarda
I’ve been running Skeledirge, Togekiss and Rhyperior in ML. Totally destroying all my matches! Only lost 2 in the last 3 days.
What can i use instead of Palkia? Can't really upgrade one right now
Has anyone tried to use certain Pokemon for master league and they don't appear. For instance I tried to use my Bewear and it's not aloud?
I have a spice team that you might wanna check it is a triple water featuring lanturn toxapex and swampert and it give me W's during this meta
I knew the minute a saw that moveset/typing that this pokemon HAD to be good somewhere
It’s good everywhere 🤩

Skeledirge has been one of my favorite pokémon to use ever
When I was playing in the ML,
I haven’t even seen it once.
Zyonik you should definitely showcase ml videos too
I have a shadow mew two 13 13 14... should i purified it to get 100iv for gbl?
I love flying Umbreon lmao
Hi Z, Could u do the "pop" intro again sometimes? Man I miss it😅
I can't use bewear in any league it's so frustrating I used like 400 to evolve it and stuff this makes me sad 😢
Skel is just the fire version of swamp.
LETS GOOOO !! THE GOOOOOAT !!
As new as it is, I love Skeledirge and I love the disruption it has been creating but by no means it can be as oppressive and frustrating to face as Swampert was in its prime and its heyday, let's not; SHE AIN'T NO DIVA!
2 hours after you posted this video, the leaderboard #1 is at 2880. Just so you and your viewers know.
How to get this crocodile?
What a versatile croc
Poke AK made a vid with dirge in the ML already
The game has been out for over 5 years… how can people still not have at least 3 Pokemon for master league?
Because not everyone does pvp or raids? Folks just have different preferences when playing POGO.
@@despon7555 in case you didn’t notice, this is a pvp channel

mewtwo is just so good always gonna be on my team the thing is a beast
Swampart too iconic
Skeldirge is the new goat.
Bite shadow ttar is the hidden gem
Skull Krock is the new Ghost In Town Now ..
Hey! Whats wrong with ace
I HAVE A RANK 1 for every league. Great , Ultra and a Hundo for Master. All powered up and use them all. Skeli is better than Swampert was.
Skel has very similar stats to Swampert its likr a fire type Swampert
Give it shadow claw and blast burn
I just hit 1mil dust, now my hundo fuecoco is looking at me in the corner
its low CP tho T_T I took this beaut for a spin and I got good leads LOL say bye bye to melmetal and dialga but then Kyogre and Groudon are so common = ))
Anyone else think palkia’s attack animation for dragon breath is hella goofy?
I dont think Skeledirge regardless of ranking is as strong as Swampert was in great league or ultra league
I LOVE when double charm gets beats. The player is that rubbish they just tap tap tap and hope to win
Skeledirge is also same machamp in that regard
NO. Swampert is still Triple king. Skeledirge cannot surprise anything. You know exactly which charge attack is coming and you can time swaps, optimize fast move pressure, and over farm with ease on an incinerate user.

Nice
Dragonite is good in all three leagues.
7:08 what is bro doing there
Wait i hatxhed a hundo
Does that mean people want to see skeledirge nerfed 😂🤦♂️
To all you Xerneas users, you wasted your stardust 😂🤣😂 1-2 Dirge is coming for you!
I will not allow it to dominate in master
Not better than swampert imo but similar
No
i really hate when skeliderge spamming disarming voice, and the skill sound is annoying, 📢tot teeett🎶 so annoying
Nah swampert is dumb nothing compares
