League turnover is on the 4th for some timezones including mine, while the new season starts on the 3rd. So use that last day of the current season on the 3rd to tryout new things. That's basically 5 free sets to practise
Thanks for the video! Super new to pokemon go and I just got into PvP and am loving it. I’m curious, why no mention of Carbink? Mostly curious because it’s one of my best seeming options and I’m trying to figure out if it’s going to be worth building 😅
Carbink is a trap IMO, ranked highly but not going to be as good as the rankings may suggest. It is a lot like Bastiodon in playstyle and it loses to a lot of the top things in the meta. May be good in limited metas once in a while but I tend to avoid it.
@@XehrFelrose thank you for the response! I was actually looking at it for pairing with my Gastrodon, and had come up with Gastro/Carbink/and then either Jumpluff or Mandibuzz, basically depending on if I can find one or the other. I liked how Carbink has a good matchup into Mandibuzz and Talonflame, which I was worried about, but I do see how the majority of its meta matchups don't look stellar. Is that because the algorithm is calculating against the whole field, so it gives it a high rating despite matching poorly into the meta?
@@whiskeytango1122 i believe that is why Bink is rated as high as it is. It does very well in neutral matchups due to its bulk, but most of the top meta does well into it which is why I think it will severely underperform compared to the rank. Also happy to respond, I try my best to interact with every comment 😊
@@XehrFelrose I may end up building it then as a back up for my real core, Gastrodon and Jumpluff. It'll be a little while though, I'm still level 34 hah
That's the moveset I've been using on Yvetal. Snarl oblivion wing and focus blast. So, of course, I'll be running it with sucker punch. But with the sucker punch buff, think dark pulse enough for dialga.
Machamp is fine as long as you get rid of it with Ariados, and even that comes down to bait calls. Running Clod over Ariados is less risky and you can still use Dewgong.
I have seen it everywhere 😂 It will be very good but I think they overstate the sims and forget that there are still good answers to it in the meta. The main issue is that almost everything that got nerfed was also a check to Gatr, but we'll have to see how it all shakes out.
17:50 not only would a 5 damage 8 energy Metal Claw mean HC is straight 5, it would also be the same DPT and EPT as Shadow Claw on Feraligatr due to STAB giving Metal Claw 3 DPT (2.5*1.2)

Step 1: Feraligator
Step 2: Profit
51:35 excellent video ❤
Awesome vid best update 🎉

Probably Dark Pulse is overall the better move. I wonder what it will prefer in the new meta.
holy shit xher youre so helpful 🙏
My rank 2 Gastrodon is READY~
i’m just going to run core breakers for the meta. see how far that gets me
Ariados and Greninja sounds interesting, and I do have them. Wonder what a third would be - I thought dewgong but Machamp would be such an issue.

I got a rank 380 shadow shiny MAchamp. Of course i called it Hulksmashes
Perfectly named!
Why people are like this
They ask for better fast move for feraligatr to be viable in pvp when it performs well they want it be nerfed…

Can I use my shadow shiny venusaur this season? Do I pair it with registeel?
You can use it, perhaps with Empoleon instead to help cover that Fire weakness!

Oof, playing with fire on that one, would be a good shift for Steel offensively overall though.
Zacian here I come my bday hundo
Gatr is cracked and i hate it
Yep 💀
Let's go❤
Sup
