More spicy teams to come, just wanted to get something strong out for newer players who don't have these Pokemon yet as they are a Fantastic investment!
I'm using a triple normal team: Snorlax lead, Wigglytuff safe swap and Pidgeot.. works really well against all those ghost types :D. I also ran some spicier teams in between with varying success haha
I've gone 12-3 with primape in the lead, and he's been killing it for me. Having night slash is great because you can still apply a lot of pressure to psychic/ghost types like mew and marowak. Definitely love seeing people with a Snorlax, and boy have I seen a lot of them lol.
@@inevitableweeb bro, I was SO close to getting to veteran! Like I'm in more pain than you, and I climbed from 1700 rating because I kept losing before.
@@cesarj.valenzuela732 Blastoise:hydro cannon and ice beam Raichu brick break,Snorlax Skull Bash I am a starter so all of my pokemon don't have 2 attacks I am on 27 level right now 😶
Tips : 3:01 When you having mirror match don't throw your move when it charged wait a little bit to throw them . Because when they throw move you can go through an extra charge move , which will help you to lead the energy from opponent , and throw your charge move when opponent fast move animation is going to off
I was actually able to take out a pidgeot with my a-wak with loaded energy. Both shadow bones did defense drops and it was 1hp and a dream! I wish I would have recorded it.
Great video! I went 20-5 today running shadow dragonite alolan marowak and hypno shadow. If they don’t have a charmer or ice it’s pretty much GG. Love running spice my dragonite has terrible Ivs but it’s fun.
Plz answer: does iv matter if its a shadow pokemon? What i mean is: is it better to use a 2/2/2 shadow snorlax than a 5/15/15 non shadow snorlax? Sometimes i transfer my shadow pokemons if their IV’s are bad.
Hey Zyonik, I have a quick question for you! I'm running A-Graveler lead (volt, blast, edge), Hypno safe swap (psychic, shadow ball, fire punch), and A-Ninetales closer (powder, weather ball, psyshock). My primary question is should I change the fire punch on Hypno out to something else considering the meta? You run focus blast and mentioned thunder punch, so what would be a good safe second charge move after shadow ball? I have plenty of charged TMs to use.
I’ve been running Snorlax lead, Hypno swap, and then my secret weapon, a Thunder Shock -Brick Break - Wild Charge Raichu. The first two Pokémon are capable of absolutely taking over a match and Raichu eats up once shields are down. [For those wondering, PvP Poke Threat Score: 581]
Zyonik: Here's a spicy new team *consistent wins with successful swaps for standard charge moves, plays against predictable line-ups* Me: Looks easy, I'll dump 90,000 stardust to try it: *loses 10 games in a row, opponents use wackiest teams imaginable with deliberate counters to my picks and calls all of my baits and bluffs*
I'm surprised you didn't run into a lot of A-muk. I've been goofing off because there's no ELO - but I like using A-raticate with bite....it loses to a lot - but beats Hypno and A-wak with no shields.
thanks zyonik. now everyone is leading snorlax while I'm leading shadow machamp with seaking and alolan muk in the back. couldn't have it easier. too bad the rankings are over.
Great Video Zyonik. I tried to adapt the Shadow M2 team for kanto cup but I didn't have stellar success, 11W/14L. I used A wak (best one I had but its rank 1701) and normal snorlax safe swap same movesets. If you were to tweak the team or change mons what options should I consider?
You want spice, use Golbat. I run Gengar lead, with regular Snorlax and Golbat. Have a lot of success. I feel Golbat is needed to chip away at fairies that are being used with Shadow Ball in there too. I see quite a lot of Venusaur too, so Wing Attack can run them down
I love how Z gets so salty when he gets hit by off meta moves like that ice beam 🤣. You’re obviously right not shielding that, just funny. Also shadow Aerodactayle in the lead, you heard it here first.
i had a snorlax in my rocket radar this morning.. i had to say a shiny prayer.. it wasn't shiny.. decent GL ivs though.. thankfully the TM Frustration event is this coming weekend.
My team Wigglytuff, Hypno and Poliwrath covers a whole lot of Kanto metas. My statatics today, (Rank 20) I won 19 battles out of 25. I came across a few snorlax's used the dynamic punch from poli to end them real quick lol
I managed a 19 win streak with almost the same lineup, Shadow Snorlax (Body Slam), Wigglytuff (Ice Bean and Playrough) and Hypno (Return and Thunder Pants) - Cheap to build too!
What do you think about them taking away our top 10 used Pokémon for that special cup to come in season7? You think it’ll be data stored that season prior to that new special cup or all data stored from previous seasons as well?
Just battled someone that tried running this line . Except it was regular snorlax and shadow hypno. Didn't workout well for them. I saw that superpower coming a mile away 💪
I’ve been going 4-1 with raichu on the lead and double charmers in the back. Ps the electric move on clefable gets to meteor mash way faster then charm does
Just did a 5-0 set with Beedrill, Wigglytuff, and Dewgong! Even one won with my beedrill facing a hypno on the lead and it did beat it in the end game portion of the battle!
I use the same team. Only different in snorlax. Mine is normal not shadow. Play in 2 sets . But only got 4-6. Change to another combination. still got more losses than wins. I watch all the battler play at their each channel. Try to learn how they play, pick the team, their strategy. But i am still struggling. since my rating still around 2000-2100 in every season. Is it because the quality of connection ? Or perhaps i just simply not a good battler ?
This team got me 5-0 Shadow snorlax (lick body slam) Hypno (confusion thunder punch shadow ball) Nidoqueen (pioson jab poison fang earthquake) Earthquake really helps with u being 1 shield and opponent 0 shield end-game
quick question, I have two shadow bulbasaur with good IVs. I wanted to evolve them to venusaur with frensy first then wash off the frustration later this weekend. So I opened the second charged move for both of them. Yet, after I evolved one of them, only did I found that my shadow venusuasr does not have frensy 0_o. Can anyone tell me what is going on at all? I am confused. I thought I did everything correctly. Thanks a lot! Great video! Huge fan.
Can i ask something? Don't just understand why the IV of some pokemons here like hypno has 1/then higher def and stamina stat. Is it more good than having 15-15-15? Just asking need to know
Because KC has same CP limit as GL which is 1500. Most fully evolved mons can exceed the CP limit before being maxed out. Lower Attack means lower CP then you can power up more without exceed the CP limit. With more power ups means more defense and HP. That's why most pokemons need to have low attack and high defense/HP IV spreads like 0/15/15, 0/14/15 etc. Only time perfect IV is recommended is when that pokemon lv50 max CP is below the CP limit or the pokemon lv40 max CP is below the limit and you do not have XL candies to further power up beyond lv 40.
@@pikachu8508 ouw got that point but I'mma ask like on hypno you can get a low level of it like ive seen alot in kanto event and why don't he just take a low level good iv than a bad iv ones. Need some enlightenment here
@@urs-sanvictoresdeuel1672 Defense and HP are more important than Attack in PvP. Sometimes 1 HP can make the difference in winning and losing. Attack IV is only useful in mirrored matchups since you facing the exact same pokemon and Attack stats determine who fire their charged move first. However when come to shadows and legendaries/mythicals, it's OK to have IVs like 5/11/14 or 10/13/15 since usually you can only make one special trade a day while mythical and shadows are untradable.
I kid you not, I have been ruin g this exact team in this exact way since yesterday! That is hilarious. Makes me feel like I got better at making teams if you showcased it
zyonik? is there any way that i can send battles to you? I got a good 2 sets with my Spicy team - Shadow shiny lapras, shadow hypno, and shadow mewtwo 😉
Alolan marowak, alolan sandslash, and wigglytuff get me 4 or 5/5 everytime, but i run hex, bone club and shadow bone on marowak because of mirror matches, energy generation and destroying fire types
More spicy teams to come, just wanted to get something strong out for newer players who don't have these Pokemon yet as they are a Fantastic investment!
Aww yeah.....
I am using Galarian Rapidash on the lead with Psycho Cut-Body Slam/Megahorn and it is great vs. Hypno, alolan raichu, etc.
I'm using a triple normal team: Snorlax lead, Wigglytuff safe swap and Pidgeot.. works really well against all those ghost types :D. I also ran some spicier teams in between with varying success haha
I got that double spice with Blastoise lead, A-wak safe swap, hitmonchan in the back and its surprisingly working great
Iss snorlax body slam is legacy cause i don't seen star on body slam and i use to see him
Someone decided not to shield their Snorlax today when I threw a Bravebird. BOOM!!!!
What pokemon? Pidgeot?
@@Supermariopro5 Sorry, yes. I’m trying to figure out why Pidgeot with gust isn’t higher in the meta. 🤷🏼♂️
Blast burn for me today
Focus blast hypno for me been booming for days 😂👊🏻
🤣😂😅✌🏻️
3:25 What sorcery is this?! That throat clear caused *a ripple in time!*
I thought I was the only one who noticed it
Zyonik used Roar of Time!
It was *super effective!*
Was so confused
It was an honor to get boomed by you in that third battle, Z!
I've gone 12-3 with primape in the lead, and he's been killing it for me. Having night slash is great because you can still apply a lot of pressure to psychic/ghost types like mew and marowak. Definitely love seeing people with a Snorlax, and boy have I seen a lot of them lol.
8:23 Snorlax getting hit with Focus Blast:
Snorlax Enthusiast: 👁💧👄💧👁
Zyonik you are such a great guy, you truly deserve more subs and viewers, i wish you the best in the future
I'm just mad that you can't rank up during Kanto Cup, because I'm doing so well in Kanto Cup.
Same, was 2950 thinking I had a week left for legend, started off kanto cup with a 5-0 finding out there was no rating...
@@inevitableweeb bro, I was SO close to getting to veteran! Like I'm in more pain than you, and I climbed from 1700 rating because I kept losing before.
@@Transit-Gaming How's that more pain I literally woulda been legend in my first set of kanto cup smh
At 6:55 Zyonik said Fire Spin is faster than Waterfall while both are 3 turn
I'm having a great time with Aerodactyl, A Marowak and Venusaur such a great team lol.
Sameeee...I'm using S.Aerodactyl , S.Venasaur and S.Gyarados...having alot of fun 😅😂
Aero 🌶
I'm having fun with blastoise,raichu and snorlax😅

Second time playing you this season and another loss this morning. I thought I played it okay though. DanOttawa - A Ninetails, A. Muk, pidgeot.
GGs 😊
omg i tried the same team today - Charm or Powder snow on A Ninetails?
@@_Amit_Sunil snow.
My Shadow Machamp lead loves this video :D
Same team accept S-Hypno lead Watergun Lapras in back for those A-Waks and my own A-Wak!!! Great Showcase bro!!!

I'm having amazing success with Snorlax, Tentacruel, and Rapidash (needs shields).
If you give shieds to the rapidash than it can distroy everything that come in his way with his incinerate

Hello buddy. I won 22 matches of my 25. I used the same team as yours but one pokemon was different. Any guesses?
Zyonik: Here's a spicy new team *consistent wins with successful swaps for standard charge moves, plays against predictable line-ups*
Me: Looks easy, I'll dump 90,000 stardust to try it: *loses 10 games in a row, opponents use wackiest teams imaginable with deliberate counters to my picks and calls all of my baits and bluffs*
This team is amazing!!!
My last 4 sets:
4/5
4/5
5/5
5/5
And im not even using shadow Snorlax.
Just a regular one.
Thank you thank you thank you! :)
I'm surprised you didn't run into a lot of A-muk. I've been goofing off because there's no ELO - but I like using A-raticate with bite....it loses to a lot - but beats Hypno and A-wak with no shields.
thanks zyonik. now everyone is leading snorlax while I'm leading shadow machamp with seaking and alolan muk in the back. couldn't have it easier. too bad the rankings are over.
Oh These 3 pokemon Took all of 30 charged Tms and I still don't have the desired Charged moves
Try mew
Been using an XL Lickitung only Powered to 1350 CP with GREAT success!
Great Video Zyonik. I tried to adapt the Shadow M2 team for kanto cup but I didn't have stellar success, 11W/14L. I used A wak (best one I had but its rank 1701) and normal snorlax safe swap same movesets.
If you were to tweak the team or change mons what options should I consider?
My team is alolan ninetales, hypno, Snorlax . These pokemons are also good investments for open great leagues
I was, like, it's either Pidgeot or Alolan Raticate in the back that beat you. Even the G.O.A.T. has its limits.
I’ve ran a set with shadow hypno lead snorlax and machamp (for snorlax and lapras) and had some success! I might have to try out my awak too.
You want spice, use Golbat. I run Gengar lead, with regular Snorlax and Golbat. Have a lot of success. I feel Golbat is needed to chip away at fairies that are being used with Shadow Ball in there too. I see quite a lot of Venusaur too, so Wing Attack can run them down
Is a normal hypno ranked 86 worth getting prepared for great league? Or should I just raise my shadow which is ranked in the 100’s?
That focus blast on Snorlax 💥
I love how Z gets so salty when he gets hit by off meta moves like that ice beam 🤣. You’re obviously right not shielding that, just funny. Also shadow Aerodactayle in the lead, you heard it here first.
been running regular snorlax, hypno, and venusaur or machamp in the back, with decent success. usually 3-2 and some 4-1 sets
should have known you made this video, i'm seeing this team everywhere. my shiny red rat sure loves that backline though 😆
i had a snorlax in my rocket radar this morning.. i had to say a shiny prayer.. it wasn't shiny.. decent GL ivs though.. thankfully the TM Frustration event is this coming weekend.
Really enjoy watching snorlax in any league! Great video as always!
If you want a fun team to destroy the meta try tentacruel, shadow aerodactyl, and alolan dugtrio
My team Wigglytuff, Hypno and Poliwrath covers a whole lot of Kanto metas. My statatics today, (Rank 20) I won 19 battles out of 25. I came across a few snorlax's used the dynamic punch from poli to end them real quick lol
Hey Zyonik, what would you rate this team?
Shadow Hypno in the lead, Alolan Marowak and Machamp in the back.
Since no elo is impacted, im trying out spicy picks. Pidgeot, Muk, And Alola Raichu
I’m actually kinda sad about that, I can’t get veteran anymore and I have several 5-0 wins
I'm stacking up on TM's and candies using my premiums
Alola raichu is so fun to use!
Ive been using snorlax in lead, hypno in the back and charmeleon (yes charmeleon suprisingly works!) and ive been winning a lot with it
I managed a 19 win streak with almost the same lineup, Shadow Snorlax (Body Slam), Wigglytuff (Ice Bean and Playrough) and Hypno (Return and Thunder Pants) - Cheap to build too!
Machamp with Payback and energy advantage is so deadly. I’ve been booming Hypno all week!!
Just went on a 25 win streak with this team, my new longest streak, I can't believe it. Thanks for the advice!
What do you think about them taking away our top 10 used Pokémon for that special cup to come in season7? You think it’ll be data stored that season prior to that new special cup or all data stored from previous seasons as well?
I used this team and went 22/25 with premium rewards! Definitely a worthy investment!! Thx for the tip!
I beat this team with double fighters lmao, great vid. Awak, payback champ, primeape
Prayers to that A-Wak against the Pidgeot 🙏
This team too for a set...got 2 shadow machamps leads and of course hypno counter on the swap. Story of my life
Just battled someone that tried running this line . Except it was regular snorlax and shadow hypno. Didn't workout well for them. I saw that superpower coming a mile away 💪
Been running Beedril/ Mew/ K-NTails. I love going up against your team!
I’ve been going 4-1 with raichu on the lead and double charmers in the back. Ps the electric move on clefable gets to meteor mash way faster then charm does
was just wondering if it was good, have had one tmed from the last event
Great team! Just missed Veteran(2300) lots of 4-1 sets
I know rating isn't going up, but is that for all levels even below 20? As in I can't climb levels?
We played today. Wonder if I will be in your video if you do a video on that spicy team. GG WP!
GGs 😊
I love it when they set themselves up lol
I agree, I play with snorlax lead, hypno and wigglytuff and it gets wins due to bulk
Im using poliwrath on the lead with alolan marowak and shiny articuno in the back. This team made me go 12-3 today
Arent waterfall and fire spin Both 3 turn fast moves ?
Love shadow snorlax soo good in every league.
Thanks for the video bud xx
For a moment I read your name as Kevin Saulders😅
@@Yashas-ty6tg i wish no where near as good as him lol
Went 12/15 with Beedrill, Hypno and A. Ninetales/Wigglytuff. Encountered 0 A. Marowaks but massive amounts of Snorlax and Pidgeots
ZyoniK, Superpower or earthquake is better on snorlax?
I’m doing well in my second Kanto Cup using Rapidash-Lapras-Haunter. Spicy team and 21-4 today :)
how can i get Marowak?
Just did a 5-0 set with Beedrill, Wigglytuff, and Dewgong! Even one won with my beedrill facing a hypno on the lead and it did beat it in the end game portion of the battle!
Running champ, A grav and Charizard. Mostly successful with it. This team would be rough bc of the wak hypno combo.
2 days of kanto, i always get positive set (16-9, 20-5) with electrode lead, lapras and awak 😁 crazy strong and fun.
I use the same team. Only different in snorlax. Mine is normal not shadow.
Play in 2 sets . But only got 4-6.
Change to another combination. still got more losses than wins.
I watch all the battler play at their each channel. Try to learn how they play, pick the team, their strategy.
But i am still struggling. since my rating still around 2000-2100 in every season.
Is it because the quality of connection ? Or perhaps i just simply not a good battler ?
impressive.
tnx 4 the content ❤
I use shadow Golduck because a ton of people still don’t know it has cross chop as a charge move.
Aside from hypno the fighters are also scared of all the triple charms teams running amok since there's no steel types to keep them in check
This team got me 5-0
Shadow snorlax (lick body slam)
Hypno (confusion thunder punch shadow ball)
Nidoqueen (pioson jab poison fang earthquake) Earthquake really helps with u being 1 shield and opponent 0 shield end-game
Dewgong, shadow snorlax and shadow kanto ninetails is awesome for me at the moment!
I'm happy I built a team around the meta, so many depend too much on the meta..
great video! Can you maybe feature shadow omastar in kanto cup if you have it?
How do you change the charge move on shadow pokemon?

I kid you not, I have been ruin g this exact team in this exact way since yesterday! That is hilarious. Makes me feel like I got better at making teams if you showcased it
zyonik? is there any way that i can send battles to you? I got a good 2 sets with my Spicy team - Shadow shiny lapras, shadow hypno, and shadow mewtwo 😉
Nothing better than having a boom early in the morning
how to get Snorlax shadow and his normal special attacks? If I catch a shadow, I cannot change the attack with an advanced TM. When can I do this?
will they give us elite TMs in the end of this season zyonik?
Absolutely!!! As long as u hit Rank 18 I believe...
Shadow machamp double psychic (mew hypno) is fun!
there are so many shadow lapras and shadow snorlax leads in the legend range, im expecting a rise of shadow machamps
How was he able to get Moltres as the encounter reward? Is this something special at legend rank?
No. Video was uploaded in february, so there were different rewards back then.
Bruh! Where’s the battlecatz podcast been?!
I just got a 96 shadow snorlax the other day. It does not disappoint in master league
Are you interested in a video with a PvP 46 Lickitung? In legend league Kanto.
Alolan marowak, alolan sandslash, and wigglytuff get me 4 or 5/5 everytime, but i run hex, bone club and shadow bone on marowak because of mirror matches, energy generation and destroying fire types
I was using that exact team but instead of hypno I put aloan nine tails with charm weather ball and psychic
I just made a shadow Snorlax for GL today and I love using it
