@@ZyoniK Is it normal that a rank 8 player faces rank 9 players? Thats what happened to me a few minutes ago. I faced 3 rank 9 players in a row, and I'm rank 8. I lost all three battles, which I should have easily won. The last battle I also lost because the game didn't allow me to use my charged attack. I pressed on it for a while, nothing was happening then I got hit by an attack. My pokemon was just standing there, in the pose when the charged attack normally goes out, while I was pressing on the charged attack. If it actually has gone out and not done that I would have won.
Picked this team up a few days ago on Jonkus' channel and been using it since.The best part about the team is it provides you ample scope to learn pvp especially if you lose the lead.Thanks a lot for sharing your strat against fighter leads Zyonik.
I ran a similar team in S3 and also this season, but instead of Poliewrath I had gliscor, to cover fighters and to have kind of a save swap. But I used a different tactic, if the Lead was neutral I charged up to 2 Wild charges in exchange for 1 Shield and then bailed either after throwing 1 or 0 WCs. That’s because if shields were down in the end, there’s almost no Pokémon that can survive that. And if they still have shields it’s kind of trading shields: 1 shield for me, 2 for the opponent. But this season the team doesn’t work because there are so many Swampert leads, so no chance to safe swap with Gliscor, but all the flyers couldn’t defeat Swampert...
I enjoy more watching your battles than logging in Go Battle by myself. My experiences are no button inputs,lag,fps drops,counters too often and many 1HP losses recently.
Poliwrath is carrying me so hard, the bulk and hard hitting charge moves are awesome. I'm running It in the back with venusaur and Charizard lead. Positive sets 99% of the time!
Very good team Zyonik! I run a very similar team right now with Tangrowth instead of Poliwrath. I’m loving my new Gallade it’s as awesome as you said it was as a deadly end game sweeper!
Hi. That gallade vs togekiss is dependent on the situation. Leaf blade is better in terms of DPE, but Close Combat does about 3 more damage and decreases defense so togekiss can farm less, to I would choose CC to throw (unless you have great energy advantage - then 2x leaf blade).
The thing about Charm vs Air Slash is also that Air Slash is super-effective on Toxicroak while Charm isn't. So Charm doesnt punish all fighters better. Overall I'd say Charm is stil better but Air Slash has its place in Premier Cup definitely.
Out of this team, and the other double steel team you posted with gallade lead and empoleon in the back with magnezone, which did you feel had more play right now?
9:55, Since, your backline is too much weak to Togekiss, you can counter swap into Gallade right?, Somewhat, neutral matchup. He needs to shield twice, in order to win.
when u r creating the video,how do u keep the gifs until the end ? i mean these pokemon moving on the left video are gifs? Great video. love your explanations.
Aren't these IVs kinda bad for UL? Thought low Attack would be better I saw your reasoning in the comment section from the previous video but what about Poliwrath? PS, only started PvP on Season 3
Great battles brother! You can actually win the venusaur matchup in the one shield if you bait with one mirror shot. I usually charge two wild charges and bait in the second one
Nice vid! Any reason for the stats on your team? Or is this just the best stats you had available. I worry a lot about stats on my team--do they make a tiny difference? Is it not worth worrying about too much?
Like you said. It makes a tiny difference. I wouldn't worry too much. As long as you can keep positive matchups it doesn't really matter if you have 5 or 8 attack ivs (of course there are exceptions)
Z your Gallade hits a break point where your confusions does 23 dmg instead of 22. This means that you can shield once then farm down a Venusaur without using a charge move if the venusaur is at 0 energy. My rank 7 Gallade cannot do this 😭
Im not a heavy battler. I just want rank 7 and the team zyonik suggested were very good and in the blink of time im at rank 7 and i can climb further but i dont want it
I'm using shadow suicune, cresselia and articuno ,all double moved in open ul and I'm consistently winning a lot. You should really try this team. Today I went 5-0 and 4-1 and 3-2 with this team
I’d say Jonkus is probably the most consistent gbl’er in the world. His old master league team can suck rocks. Even winning lead it still wrecked me. 😭
Another interesting team, with Poliwrath, one of my favourites. Your earlier Tangrowth lead team is beginning to run into problems, I'm seeing a lot more Escavalier, Obstagoon, Muk and Dragonite, that I struggle with. I don't have a suitable Ultra League Magnezone, but I do have a very good shadow Magnemite I could build one from. Do you think the shadow version would be too fragile though?
im using the same team but instead of poliwrath im using a swamper with mud shot, hydro cannon and earthquake but i think i will change it to poliwrath when i get good one
I've been running my Poli with bubble i guess the energy gain from mud shot is better. Idk I feel like bubble is better against Charizard and swampert, but I stopped using Poli for a while bc everyone started using gallade haha
Jfarm went into a battle with air slash char by mistake. But eneded up having a positive set with it maybe thats why or what u said. Wing attack definitely over air slasg
Zyonik please try Steelix! It looks pretty good with the right mons to back it up. Pure farm on all those fairy type and dragonite and hsve the EQ nuke. What do think?
Man i always thought you were watching the kid/kids when you were looking to the right. Im a dad and I know how to keep an eye on one thing while glancing to check on children. I thought i saw the look.
I'm done wasting stardust on Ultra Premier between the incessant lag, inability for any team comp or strategy to work with frequent meta shifts. Spending 2 hrs a day to get your ass handed to you is draining. Makes sense to stay away until they increase the MMR gain values towards the end of the season
Staying away from GBL due to lag makes sense. Don’t really agree with the rest of it tbh. If ultra premiere is takin u 2 hours to complete, u might be doin somethin wrong. These battles go quick!
@@MarineCorpKing that is so not true. The game definitely favors those who have been playing consistent for years -- with spammy/high damage legacy moves, but thats where the "luck" ends. If you understand the basic meta 3-5 pokemon in constant use every season, and build one to counter, you can do well. I think if you're winning +55% of the time, you're doing ok.
Hey man! Been loving the videos lately, keep it up! If you have a chance, give this team a try. Infernape lead, gallade safe swap, venusaur in the back. I've gone 18-2 with it so far in rank 9. The team is really fun and it has our boiiiii gallade haha
I’ve been working on this team but my gallade is shadow and expensive as heck. Have the shiny poli ready and the zone is almost ready but gonna be next season for gallade haha but at least I have a reference point now
Hey great team with fantastic gameplay also excellent performance but expect gallade I have none of the Pokemon powered but still great matches though . I should consider some of those Pokemons to be powered up for next season .. Love your gameplay man
Such a coincidence zyonik!! Even my poliwrath that I use in UL is 14 15 14. It is ranked 78. If not battling skills Atleast there is something same between me and you😅
Damn jonkus is stealing my double fighter strategy. Been running my team since ultra started. Little different though. I run poliwrath(shadow), machamp(shadow) and charizard

Zyonik is best compared with every pokemon go battle pvp UA-camrs
In terms of public relations and video's appearance maybe, but as a battler kieng and fp still number 1
There’s a lot of good youtubers out there idk.
Zyonik has the best commentary though,
@@gamechanger700 absolutely fantastic
His videos are really entertaining. I think it’s the shout cast skill that really stands out

Poliwrath is carrying me so hard, the bulk and hard hitting charge moves are awesome. I'm running It in the back with venusaur and Charizard lead. Positive sets 99% of the time!
bruh i was waiting for hours and i leave my phone to the side and then he uploads, now i’m late😭😭
No worries man ☺️, thanks for the support!
Better late than never.
Very good team Zyonik! I run a very similar team right now with Tangrowth instead of Poliwrath. I’m loving my new Gallade it’s as awesome as you said it was as a deadly end game sweeper!
Thanks! Yeah tangrowth is amazing! So glad to hear Gallade is doing well for you too!
Thanks a lot bro! Got a full win set today for this team!
i literally created this exact team day 1 of ultra premier.nice to see top battlers are using it!!
Obstagoon makes me cry when I see him
Ive been seeing an increase use of exeggutor lately, for sure throws a wrench
I love obstagoon leads vs my lead
Lol my bad about contributing to that open ultra league record zyonik 😜🤣 woulda loved to see that battle posted. Sure was epic!
Been watching your previous videos and they were great. But, man, the battles in this video are so exhilarating!!!!
this was one sweaty set. i'm using magnezone in my back, half the time i sac it from full health, the other half it pretty much wins the match.
The reason behind the air slash togekiss with aerial ace & ancient power is for chari match up. I'm just amazed man 😂😂
Fantastic video. What do you think its good instead of the Megazon?
9:28 this already made it into the top 5 battles of the week
I can’t tell you how often my lady hears me now battling yelling “1 HP and a dream🤣”

I grinded a lot of ralts candies this week will be making my first gallade soon
I LOOOOVE poliwrath!!!! Shame I can't play the game tho... the lag is killin' me!!
The same frickin niantic and his

i'm watchin in a bar without volume on... but i'm quite sure there is some "one hp and a dream" at 9:30
Hi Zyonik, Awesome video, 4:45 Going for back to back wild charge strategy is better or not,instead of mirror shot spam?

I was investing in poliwrath thanks so much for your video. I will be using umbreon, poliwrath and venasur.
Agree open ultra league is really tough at the moment, every match is tough.
Keep on running into swampert leads, should i go straight to gallade ooor poliwrath ?
Poliwrath is hard to deal with - very strong pick
Me with my stunfisk and hypno with thunder punch: pathetic

Hey, do you think Pokémon IVs matter alot? Like which ranking IVs Pokémon you using usually?
Poliwarth is probably the best fighter lol which fighter is tanky other than poliwarth?🤔
At this point Jonkus is a PvP God.
Aren't these IVs kinda bad for UL?
Thought low Attack would be better
I saw your reasoning in the comment section from the previous video but what about Poliwrath?
PS, only started PvP on Season 3
Great battles brother! You can actually win the venusaur matchup in the one shield if you bait with one mirror shot. I usually charge two wild charges and bait in the second one
Nice vid! Any reason for the stats on your team? Or is this just the best stats you had available. I worry a lot about stats on my team--do they make a tiny difference? Is it not worth worrying about too much?

do you always go for premium rewards or why do you gain so much stardust?
Yep premium + starpiece = 50k + dust a day if I do well
Z your Gallade hits a break point where your confusions does 23 dmg instead of 22. This means that you can shield once then farm down a Venusaur without using a charge move if the venusaur is at 0 energy.
My rank 7 Gallade cannot do this 😭
how do you know breakpoints and bulkpoints
@@CM_684 pvpoke, The battle simulation
@@aalkaline so you insert every possible iv spread to know about certain breakpoints
@@CM_684 Yeah
Im not a heavy battler. I just want rank 7 and the team zyonik suggested were very good and in the blink of time im at rank 7 and i can climb further but i dont want it
Is premier cup easier then ultra league or vice versa? Or competition is the same in both?
What was that decision to not shield anything with the Poliwrath and leave 2 shields for the Gallade? What if the opponent had a Togekiss?
Jonkus and magnezone again. We are electric
Man. Poliwag needs a community day or something. It’s so scarce I barely had enough candies to get the evolutions for the dex much less power one up.
Zyonik, only getting stronger day by day 💪
Are those ivs the optimal ones for each of them or just the ones u had atm?
The ones I had. :)
I'm still focusing on open ultra league, will you do a vid about it this season? But for masters I will go premier! :-)
9:45 Garchomp is the goat of master league
Can charge move debuff can be clear by putting that pokemon in bag/swapping???? Answer me @Zyonik
Yes 😊
@@ZyoniK Love your content zyonik
I'm using shadow suicune, cresselia and articuno ,all double moved in open ul and I'm consistently winning a lot. You should really try this team. Today I went 5-0 and 4-1 and 3-2 with this team
A team ive been loving lately is tox/zard/a-muk from what I can tell it only really struggles against double DB teams
Would love to see you run an Ampharos team. One of my favororite pokemon, but im not too sure how to build a team around one
Zyonik has amazing vocational skills for the video ,we love it
I’d say Jonkus is probably the most consistent gbl’er in the world. His old master league team can suck rocks. Even winning lead it still wrecked me. 😭
You did say that leaf blade does neutral against venusaur but it is double resisted
Another great video as always mate GG'S
Loving the gallade videos, so informative 🤘.
Did you get like 7000 stardust for one set?

Why would you run Air Slash on Togekiss? Charm is borderline OP and would threaten both Poliwrath and Gallade.
I'll tell u, zyonic ur like the best pogo pvp youtuber, cheers to more great videos bud.

Why do you get soooo much Sturdust for your matches?
