Literally, posted this team in a discord a week before. There is better team than this btw. Did 16 wins in a row. Jumpluff, Gastrodon, Dunsparce (All rank 1's)
lemme just say I am so so so soooo glad you are back to making videos and even though this whole new GBL shake up ruined a lot of my teams I am happy to continue trying out new teams and strats thanks to your videos ZyokniK
You want to throw after 1,4,7,10 poison stings to avoid throwing on alignment example you threw on 3 against the DNite lead. So glad to have you back my man but little things like that can go a long way!
I'm running Clodsire, Malamar, Pangoro at the moment and doing really well. The team is weak to Gastrodon but my Pangoro is attack-weighted enough to flip the match-up in sims.
I was running something similar but with Jumpluff instead of Mandibuzz. Jumpluff removes the electric weakness from the flyer but shares an ice weakness with the mudboi so I treat it ABB gatr lead and clod safe swap with Jumpluff as the closer. A lot of people don't seem to know what to do with Jumpluff and the fairy wind buff has been fun so far
I've found that maxed out Machop with karate chop as the fast move brick-break and return as the charge moves with relatively good success return hit pretty hard and then it has the defense debuff with brick-break Also been using alolan Dugtrio and Spirit Tomb again with good success
Oh i met this team a lot today. It cant beat the lokix dunsparce clods team that i got from HSH. Still gomna try this after shadow event. Rip crocodile
I've been using the same team, but with sludge bomb instead of stone edge (i was lacking TMs) and had some good results against pesky fairies and surprised some grasses with it
I faced this team like 5x times yesterday. Won 2 of them encounters cause the opponent made a technical mistake or I caught them by surprise, but the remaining encounters were exhausting specially Mandibuzz is so tough to beat in this meta.
@@ZyoniK I couldn't count 😭 I mostly saved both my shields for aurorus and ohh man opponents were caught off guard seeing it In those 50 battles I didn't see anyone else using it I wanted to use clodsire as well but this team working so fine for me so I didn't use that
I've been running Clodsire, Serperior and Charjabug and have been securing more wins than with other comps. Serperior is flexible enough (with a shield advantage) to kill Azu / Lanturn / mud bois / fighters, and Charjabug basically is the delete button for flyers / Malamars running around. These 2 work to draw out flyers that Clodsire will delete with Rock Slide as well. Weaknesses are glaringly bad towards ABB fire teams, and also A.Marowak comps if I don't have enough shields for the two behind.
@@semat_7789 Dewgong [Ice Shard*, Icy Wind*, Drill Run], Walrein [Powder Snow*, Icicle Spear*, Water Pulse]. I opted for Water Pulse on Walrein since a lot of mons are very spammy but are weak to Water and its faster. Serperior & Clodsire moveset are the recommended in pvpoke.
@@semat_7789 Dewgong [Ice Shard*, Icy Wind*, Drill Run], Walrein [Powder Snow*, Icicle Spear*, Water Pulse], Clodsire and Serperior [recommended moves from pvpoke]. I ran Water Pulse on Walrein bc I felt it was much faster and I was seeing more mons weak against water or neutral.
I run shadow abonasnow lead , shadow marowak , shadow feraligator with icebeam , my team would do really well against this , abonasnow is a really good corebreaker
I am also using the same kinda team But rather using feralogatr, I'm battling with abomasnow. The team it self is little bit of squishy but does the job done for me ( 23-30 )
I had some problems with the team i decided with, so im taking this team lol, i had clod, shadow machamp and dunsparce, but this team looks a little stronger
I am curious how good amonguss is against this meta now that antoish is good apparently & what team works well with it 😅 though body slam was nerfed....
For fun, and so far 75% win rate over 60 matches. All shadow, lead Feraligator, then Alolan Sandslash and Machamp. My Clod isn’t ready for battle yet, need 45 more candy but this team is solid and fun.
@kyledillard, @zyonik - This team is fantastic. So far, after 20 games I have only lost 2 or 3 (just getting used to playing with this team). Absolutely love it!!! Thanks
Such a toss up. Some people are bringing exact counters to this team because they assume everyone will use it because of your video. Some people are thinking what those people are thinking, so they bring the counter to that counter's team. lol. Tried all options above, I'm just bummed I suck so bad. I keep losing. ha
Shadow gator is too ubiquitous. I had it 8 times in a row so I no longer want to play seeing how stale the meta is. There is also not enough counters to compete against it which is said, because I enjoyed pvp a lot
Ooohh... Abomasnow sounds fun! I've been playing with Malamar and Jumpluff and they've been fun. But Jumpluff hates those ice beams. But Abomasnow might be the core breaker I've been looking for!
My team is double Rollout with Lickilicky and Dunsparce. Went 16-4 yesterday followed by a 8 game win streak so far today. Shadow Golurk on the lead to deal with Clodsire leads but it has play into a lot of things.
I tried this but having double normal back line with clefable lead, found malomar instead of licky makes it more balanced as the foul play makes it easier to handle ghosts.
@@koonface That’s why I like the Shadow Golurk lead. It’s fine against Malamar and resists fighting type damage which the back line is weak to. Also great against Clodsire. The team is a roughly 75% win rate for me.
Thank you for mentioning me in the video man. I appreciate it.
Thanks for sharing the team 💛🔥
@@ZyoniK, you’re welcome. I can’t stop winning with the team. It’s way too strong. I’m glad you’re having success with it.
@@ZyoniKwhat do you think of this but with shadow machamp instead of Ferraligar?
@@dblumwon't work the same still b a good team tho

This team is great but you are missing the #1 Steel type of all time: Perrserker :)
He's my favorite in the UL!
@@ZyoniK Hell yeah! :)
Perrserker is Bae
I heard he runs a great pub too.
@@L0rdSeaBass his favourite customers are grappoloct and galarian weezing
The little cup right now has been insane too.
Running shadow Mawile in the lead, with vulpix in the back and Deino on SS. Already rank 13

I`ve been using this team for two days now. I really like it. I guess everyone are going to use it from now on. Great video as always :)

Oranguru is a great counter to clodsire & feralgatr 👀 I have azumarill to counter mandbuzz
the season of core-breakers!
@@ZyoniK ayyyyyyyy 💪
Homeslice Henry did a video exactly countering this team with oranguru and carbink this season looks fun with all the changes
@@sebastianotalora9216 🤔😂 saw that
I notice Zyonik has been inproving his timing skill, really impressive considering he doesn't battle that often anymore
Missed the “boom!” Lmao. Welcome back.
Ahhhhh, so glad to see you back! I've missed the Booms!!!
So far I've been running a Dunsparce and Machamp core, with a flyer as coverage and having a ton of fun.
I like the Closdsire/Mandibuzz core a lot better with Feraligator than with Machamp, good call.

I've been running malamar, clodsire, and shiinotic lol
Zyonik please try this fun spicy team: Drapion with sludge bomb, haunter, and dusknoir
I've found that maxed out Machop with karate chop as the fast move brick-break and return as the charge moves with relatively good success return hit pretty hard and then it has the defense debuff with brick-break
Also been using alolan Dugtrio and Spirit Tomb again with good success

I encountered this team after watching this video and was able to win with Shadow Girafarig, Carbink as a safe swap and Dunsparce
Well, I have a team suggestion
Drapion crunch/at
Gator hc/ib
And good old cres gn/mb
This team did wonders for me

Currently running a dragapult, earthquake lickilicky and wigglytuff. Earthquake on lickilicky is really fun. Had two 5-0 sets
I ran serperior mandi and aurorus for 10 sets and I went 34-16
How many Meteor Beams did you land :P?
@@ZyoniK I couldn't count 😭
I mostly saved both my shields for aurorus and ohh man opponents were caught off guard seeing it

Aurorus stonks went up with the Counter nerf. Well done bro
What moveset did you run on. Aurouorus?

Crazy enough I'm running the same team but swapped out Gator Boy for Shadow Cacturne.
I ran Dewgong/Walrein, Serperior, & Clodsire, and its been wonders. So glad DewGOAT & WalREIGN have even more play this new season
Could you share moveset youve used ?
And which was the first one to throw?
@@semat_7789 Dewgong [Ice Shard*, Icy Wind*, Drill Run], Walrein [Powder Snow*, Icicle Spear*, Water Pulse]. I opted for Water Pulse on Walrein since a lot of mons are very spammy but are weak to Water and its faster. Serperior & Clodsire moveset are the recommended in pvpoke.

What if we can't get both charged attacks on feraligater yet because we can't lose frustration yet.
Seeing lots of azumaril, ferrothorn, quagsire/gastrodon/stunfisk when running this team
I’m using this team too expect for non-shadow. It’s been pretty good!!
What is a suitable substitute for the feraligator?
Your videos help me SOO much. Thank you!!
I run shadow abonasnow lead , shadow marowak , shadow feraligator with icebeam , my team would do really well against this , abonasnow is a really good corebreaker
With all the Clodsire, perhaps Umbreon with Psychic could be a play now? Better against Machamp as well.
Just terrible against Mandi 😅
I went 21 - 4 yesterday with the same team, but with umbreon instead of mandibuzz
This was my first team, but with normal feraligator.
I’ve been running this same team but with Gastrodon instead of clodsire. I am going to try this.
Running Lokix with Trailblaze and Sucker Punch buff is a terrifying to deal with.
Lokix was a beast on my spicy team, definitely gonna build a team around it
I am also using the same kinda team
But rather using feralogatr, I'm battling with abomasnow. The team it self is little bit of squishy but does the job done for me ( 23-30 )
I beat this team a bunch today with ice punch haunter, clefable and serperior
This team I been using for a while now pretty good but getting countered with gastrodon or marowak
I had some problems with the team i decided with, so im taking this team lol, i had clod, shadow machamp and dunsparce, but this team looks a little stronger
have a shadow totodile with not so great IV's im tempted to just invest in
I am curious how good amonguss is against this meta now that antoish is good apparently & what team works well with it 😅 though body slam was nerfed....
running Golurk Smachamp Sabomasnow and 31/50, having a lot of fun
Clod and machamp are 2 of my favorite pokemon. I'm debating between abamasnow and sable for 3rd
Any suggestions
I been using shadow alolan sandslash - azu- shadow ven
Had some really strong sucess
just made this team, 3rd battle with it i came across a full mirror match and won lmao
Hay use power gem on carbink it perform even better than when it use rock slide
I have good shadow totodiles for Feraligatr, but i worry the second I spend an elite TM, they're gonna announce an event for it.
you could literally say that at any time so just go for it man! Just keep some elite tms in reserve
What do you against a dunsparce?
Pls explain when what you mean by switch clock not up. Ty
Try gastrodon lead, alolan marowak safe swap and walrein closer
For fun, and so far 75% win rate over 60 matches. All shadow, lead Feraligator, then Alolan Sandslash and Machamp. My Clod isn’t ready for battle yet, need 45 more candy but this team is solid and fun.
is that the correct IV for pvp mandibuzz there? genuinely ask
Try Dedenne..it can core break a lot of teams in the new meta !!
Clefable, malomar, dunsparce is BEASTLY
@kyledillard, @zyonik - This team is fantastic. So far, after 20 games I have only lost 2 or 3 (just getting used to playing with this team). Absolutely love it!!! Thanks
I've been running this but with malmar over the gator and it's the strongest team I've personally used.
Yeah that Clod Mandi core is amazing 🤩
Im running gastro, shiny guzz, clodsire. Only straight set wins. Its a matter of time until its being run
Had to throw in the shiny huh😂
@@Dcamacho1122 yes. Shiny Guzz is important. 🫡

Does normal gator work?
Team Caveman, Alolan Marowak, Kanto Marowak, Mandibuzz. Let’s ride
cant use 2 marowak..
@@embalmed_existence:(
Replacements for gator?
Don’t have a shadow feraligator any suggestions for something different if I want to use this team
A regular gator work just as fine. Some time even better.
Iam using dunsparce instead of clod and its kicking
Can you run normal feraligator
Thoughts on xl Mandibuzz in UL?
Keep thinking
Shadow gator is too ubiquitous. I had it 8 times in a row so I no longer want to play seeing how stale the meta is. There is also not enough counters to compete against it which is said, because I enjoyed pvp a lot
Who could I replace clodsire with? I have an awesome mandibuzz and feraligator, but no paldean wooper
Nidoqueen maybe?
Abomasnow is gonna have a field day
New BBML in action.
The biggest downside of this new season is fighting clod and feraligator on every single team basically
I am glad to say that I developed a Meta-team specifically for fighting against this team, and I won!
Your clodsire IVs are 1/8/15? You couldn’t get a better one? Or does it not matter
I bet it because his is shiny ✨️ lol it's for the look not the iv
Malamar, Clodsire, jumpluff
Id try galarian moltres over mandibuzz
How to they nerfed so many moves and pokemon but left spammy overpowered feraligatr is beyond me!
Dunsparce?
What's the best team to counter this team? Because I've been seeing it everywhere, even before this video, and it's really annoying to deal with, haha
A strong core breaker would do well, like Auroras or Abomasnow
Ooohh... Abomasnow sounds fun! I've been playing with Malamar and Jumpluff and they've been fun. But Jumpluff hates those ice beams. But Abomasnow might be the core breaker I've been looking for!
@@ZyoniK Malamar, Jumpluff, Abomasnow. Instant 5-0 at Rank 11. Thanks for the help!

Try gas lead mandi safe swap wiggles in the back
idk which pokemon ill use but i want a lead strong against clod
Oranguru is a good lead against it
@@maganhassan2627 thanks man, ill try
Waaaaait i only need a 1/8/15 clod?! Damn… i bet i had one… so my 0/15/15 isnt that good…
One flaw in this team is it’s weakness to creselia

This team does _not_ like the newly buffed Kanto Marowak😭😭😭😭 let alone the shadow version💀💀💀💀
No one watch for mud slap Kangaskhan as spicy 🌶️ 😅
I don't know if you remember Azumarill
sure do, beat it multiple times

you want attention so bad😂😂😂
