Been struggling to get to rank 8. Wanted to use shadow machamp to do it but couldn't come up with a good team comp. This definitely help. 4-1 across the board. Much love bro
Definitely annihilated me bro! I knew the match was over when I saw your Machamp! Reason i switched to Shiftry was to start farming for the next Pokémon. Turns out no bueno haha
Been leading shadow machamp with cresselia and azumarill behind, its been fun, some tough matchups but you can almost feel the dread when you see a regi up front
Been loving shadow Machamp. Been leading with my rank 50 one all season with bastiodon and hypno in the back! Mad that I actually don't mind opposing altaria leads with it too
I'm running a similar team; shadow hypno, whiscash and a rank 6 shadow machamp. been working good but I'm not used to hypno and I think it's very slow and it has a big overtapping problem
@@simonsylvestwver8583 Fire Punch and Thunder Punch. Really need thunder punch for azu and the fire punch for Gfisk if my machamp is already gone. Saying that though, not having shadow ball can make things more difficult against the likes of Deoxys Defense and the Hypno ditto
I love how so many people run Hydro pump on Azu; Ib/Pr Azu is practically a safe switch on Hp Azu AND in situations where you expect a Hp Azu counter switch. Add that slant to a double Azu counter team and it's tough for most to handle.
Im using your team with stunfisk/azumarill/tropius. I think that the hardest thin in every team is what to do if you have a bad start. Maybe i need to switch, or to stay? I love when you do that type of analysis in your videos
I've got a team that's been working great so far (It's pretty meta so nothing too creative). I'm only 25 games into GBL but I've done three 5-0 sets, one 4-1 and another 3-2. I use Azumarill (B+HP/IB) in the lead, Umbreon (S+FP/LR) as a safe swap and Shadow Zapdos (TS+TB/DP). My strategy is to leave both shields for Zapdos and never lose switch advantage. Unless the opponent leads with a super hard counter to Azumarill, I tend to stay in the battle and either chip away as much as possible or take their shields (If it's a Pokemon I know I can't deal with well like Bastiodon then I will invest in Azumarill.
Cresellia with 2 moves instead of Azzy on that team would be nice. I'm close it trying it. I didn't like my shadow Machamp ivs and didn't realize at the time wed ve able to remove frustration again in the near future. So i had to start over, on a perfect iv for great league Machamp, and im a bit pissed. I do have bunch of rare put away. Just not sure if i want to use . Might just use it to add the move and get it over with. I just don't know how important hes gonna be. Looks beastly
I have a Rank 2 Shadow Machamp that I also love. My team is Shadow Machamp (lead), Cresselia, and Galarian Stunfisk. It does pretty well!
4 роки тому
Oh! and I also have a 96% IV Shadow Machamp that I'm trying to get to best buddy. The sad thing is that I don't have enough candy to get it to level 40 at the moment...
My D*umba$$ forgot to TM my Machamp the right moves. I ran it with Close Combat for THREE Sets xD I was relatively tired and didnt even notice that it took more counters to Charge it up, only wondered a little bit why one fast move took me out after my Charge move (And yes, i dont know how i still didnt have a clue xD)
Great content as always! Have you tried Machamp as lead? I’ve been running Shadow Machamp as lead, with Azu (HP/PR) and Galarian Stunfisk in the back. Only real issue is when I come up against fairy or Hypno leads. Most other leads can be handled.
I love the team variations that is why I like GL so much. For a low rank 9 player which team is good to invest in to? I have a very good GL shadow machamp
Okay, there is no way this guy is the real fpsticks. He has to be just a narrator. He has no idea how these battles played out, and is shocked over and over again when big plays happen. Don't you think you would remember those things with your own videos?
Keep your tin foil hat on buddy. When you do sometimes 100s of battles a day, along with coaching sessions, it’s easy to not remember every little thing that happens in the game.
Hey fpsticks I want to know why are you using rock slide with your Machamp mostly on neutral match ups like Meganium and skarmory,cross chop is stab though
They must have just reached Rank 7 and have yet to play the required additional set to get to Rank 8 (and an additional required set to reach Rank 9). They were probably ranked really highly at end of last season as well and clearly had a strong streak to start the season if they made Rank 7 in only 60 games... took me 83 games with like a 60% win rate.
@@ricardofranco6456 my brother got to 2250 with just 50% but got horrible leads until he got the rating. So I guess win% is not a huge factor. Coz if you get favorable leads, you generally tend to convert it to a win but for someone constantly getting hard countered win% will be lower but then they got tougher matches reaching upto rank 7 while some others got it easier
I have a Rank 1 shadow machamp for ultra league but i don't know if it's going to perform very well because the meta is full of psychics, fairies and Giratina any tips for a good team ?
@@augustbarfvestam1206 I was thinking about doing that. Need get the stardust tho. Used most of mine to rank up a 100% giratina altered for UL and a togekiss for UL too.
I love my shadow machamp have a rank 5 1499 cp and loving it. Best investment ever for me i powered it up on the spot!! I caught it during the rocket event before go fest. Saw the ivs last 15 mins of the event and went for it. Then checked it on go stadium rank 5 was so happy lol
It's garbage!!! Any Pokemon or combination a common player uses will be matched by the system against the perfect team that can beat you. Unless you spend a certain amount of money so the system gives you benefits over other players.
That was me in the first battle! I feel gross for using the Caleb Peng team, but u slapped me anyways! Gg!
"i feel gross" 😂
Should have run shiftry against azu instead and shield the ice beam.
One question: when can we see you rock out on the drums lol?
On his twitch streams. There are 2 channel redeem options.
Today I caught a rank 1 Shadow Machop. This is the first video I watched to see the plays from Shadow Machamp. Really looking forward to using it!
been watching your content for awhile now and i cant tell you how much iv’e improved my pvp status! thanks alot man!

I've been running this same line the past 3 days. Love it
Gotta admit, shadow Machamp is on my sh*t l*st. As a rule I don't use pokemon I dislike battling against. Life is too short.

nothing better than machamp with some big balls
What move set are you running in Hypno?

Wigglytuff: Are you sure about that?
Love shadow machamp! Running with azu pr ib and galarian stunfisk with positive success. May try skarm. Thanks! More shadow machamp vids please!
this is my line as well, works good!
Thunderior who do you lead with? I’ve been using stunfisk
@@michaelolivera2605 Was leading machamp for a while, but last sets I've been using stunfisk as well🙏
I same but abomosnow Instead of azu

Someone in my area played against you at 11:57 and won! He is currently 35th in the world lol
WoutiBoy 06 and?
@@Django84 and what? Just wanted to let you know
Quick question. What's better. A regular machamp 15/15/13, a shadow machamp 15/9/15 or shadow machamp 11/15/15
Is there any point in using regular machamp in great league? Or is shadow machamp just better overall?
Did munchlax really win the cmp tie against machamp?!
Fast moves have different durations...

I've been using the same team with a decent amount of success. Even same moves on my Azu. 😂 I like cross chopping a Skarmory now and then. Lol.
I love the team variations that is why I like GL so much. For a low rank 9 player which team is good to invest in to? I have a very good GL shadow machamp
Stick s you can playing to drum solo ?
My team is Jirachi,Marowak and Umbreon and it work very well.
8:03 arent cross chop and rock slide both neutral against skarmory, but cross chop gets stab?
Rock slide is a better move overall, i cover this later on in the video. Rock slide is slightly more energy efficient.
Calcy IV says both have 2.1 DPE in PVP?
Due to the delay after charge moves, rockslide might be better?
Can you show a match up with hippodown in line up
Lmaoo

2:47 he tried to catch an Ice beam
I have a 0 14 14 shadow machop that I caught yesterday but it still has frustration unfortunately
I have 1 15 14 with cross chop and rock slide
THANOS nice
Drifblim is rly fun to use!!
How are there two charged attacks-?
I tm'd away frustration on all pokemon during Go Fest... except the decent IV shadow machop I got, so now I have to wait..:/
Hey fpsticks I want to know why are you using rock slide with your Machamp mostly on neutral match ups like Meganium and skarmory,cross chop is stab though
I mention this in the video, rock slide is more dpe
How important is IV:s on Shadow Machamp?
Can you please talk about and/or show vids using legacy karate chop & submission. Not sure if its worth elite tm'ing
It’s worth keeping just in case niantic buffs the moves, but don’t use it right now, the moves are trash
How can we get our gameplay featured in one of your videos?
I forgot to TM away frustration during go fest 😡
Nice battles as always
Who is BlackSleep1023 and why is he rank 1 on leaderboard in Rank 7 only with 60 battles played lol

@@galensmith I hit 2280 with exatly 60% win rate how much u reach?
They haven't played after getting the rating system. Next set would get them to the next rank

@@ricardofranco6456 I think it was high 2100 or low 2200. I think it also matters where you ended last season - I finished around 2400.
That belossom on machamp ouch
As an avid meganium user, I like facing azumarills with play rough and hydro pump lol
Shadow Machamp is the MVP of season 3.
This team is godly
I have a Rank 1 shadow machamp for ultra league but i don't know if it's going to perform very well because the meta is full of psychics, fairies and Giratina any tips for a good team ?
It is gonna be good for premium
I ran out of Chrged TMs to get rid of frustration on another shadow Machop. So sad. Gotta wait. I did get a 98 shadow for raids tho
I got a rank 4 shadow champ... After Go Fest.
Machamp seems damn op
Perché a 2600-2700 non hanno le mani?
Chiedo per un amico.
Abomosnow, GALARIAN stunkfist , shadow machamp,
Time to get hypno back in the team
I got a hundo shadow machamp. I feel like it's too squishy in great league tho
take that to the master league premier cup!
@@augustbarfvestam1206 I was thinking about doing that. Need get the stardust tho. Used most of mine to rank up a 100% giratina altered for UL and a togekiss for UL too.

I hope I can battle u someday

for the algorithm.
What's up with Munchlax winning CMP over Shadow Machamp at 10:30
every team in these couple days has skarmory lead, lol
You drum!
When you’re in it so deep, you watch your own gameplay.
I know right! Who actually makes video content about the thing they love and are passionate about? What a loser!
Love your vids mate but this isn’t a shadow machamp team! The 2 meta mons do all the work. You need to run triple shadows for maximum points btw
Totally
you evolved machop ?
or u catched machamp
I dont go for meta I just use what I think is good 10 win streak atm xD
Short changed yourself on the leader board you’re #24
For a time, even the great fpsticks was seduced by the notoriously noob PR/IB moveset. Shame, shame, shame.
How rank 1 on laderboards is only 7 rank with 2724 pts? Cheating again?
Alternative Account Not a single lose I think. Damn. Whether they are extremely lucky and skilled or they cheated.
If you don't have a single loss after 60 games in season 3 you are cheating, plain and simple. No one is that good.
