TIL putting safe swap intentionally 3rd makes it easier to reach when trying to quickly react. Silly little thing I'd never given much thought to, haha. Thanks!
Spark Lanturn + Dewgong + Clodsire works well for me. As in usually winning atleast 4 battles if not 5. Sometimes I switch Clodsire for G. Stunfisk but I found that boi is not as bulky as Clodsire.
This is my second season playing. I just hit ace rank and went 12-3 in 3 sets using Altaria, lanturn and charizard. I was met with a lot of electric leads and it was tricky maneuvering through them . Wouldn’t say this team works for the higher ranked players but it was a fun one to ride with.
@@VinceHHT they actually had them in the back versus my team. And I did well against those teams what I did was waste two of my shields to soften the basti up with my altaria and already had a double surf lined up on my lanturn so when I drew out the basti with my charizard I was able to take it out with that strategy.
I’m still trying to find the swag 10/15/14 Lickytung. I have a bunch of other high rank spreads and 2x the XLs to power up. Which iv licky are you building?
@@ThomasoElg actually I have done all of the research to come to the conclusion that I want the 10/15/14. Ryan Swag deep dive video is the one you should watch if you’re looking for 1 as well
I definitely like the Dewgong ABA Team! As ABA has become my more preferred playstyle, given the RPS issues I have with ABB, but I'm willing to give some of the ABB teams a try as well. I hope to see more ABA teams at some point.
In the history of GO Battle League, there's only been three, maybe four occasions where I felt a Pokemon was *too* strong: Pre-Poison Fang nerf Nidoqueen, 100% debuffing Zap Cannon Registeel and now Icy Wind Poliwrath. You could make an argument for Breaking Swipe Steelix as well. In my opinion, and my opinion only, I felt like all of those were either too strong, too flexible or too easy to play, and so far all were nerfed in some way. I think Poliwrath is next. I just hope it doesn't ruin Icy Wind for all of it's users like they did with Steelix and Breaking Swipe.
Unfort I feel like the only way for them to nerf Wrath would be changing Icy Wind as shitty as that is. They COULD revert the Scald buff or at least tone it down a bit (which I would argue is the safer more sensical option) but I kinda don't see them reneging on something like that so soon. The fact they are giving out Icy Wind now like candy makes me think that an Icy Wind nerf might be something they are considering if they want to continue to make it accessible to more Pokemon without breaking the meta. That's pretty much exactly what happened to Breaking Swipe; giving it to a lot more Pokemon then immediately nerfing it because Steelix was too good with it. I can totally see that being a thing with Wrath now.
I’ve had some luck with a Grasshole team of Basti lead, Meganium safe switch and Serperior. I’ve beat several skele because they don’t realize the Meganium has access to earthquake
Does anybody know why the battle freezes randomly for before I’m about to win a match? It always happens right after my opponent switches into their last Pokemon and right after they fire off a charge move that fails to do any real damage. Also the other times it happens is when I’m about to knockout my opponent’s last Pokemon and I fire off a charge move and they have no shields remaining? These are the 2 most frequent occurrences that I see it happen. lol it’s always a win when it happens but I’m just curious why it freezes for like 10 seconds when those 2 things happen.
I was wondering why i was seeing so many of team #1 that is triple weak to mudboys. It was free elo since i lucked out and been running whiscash and quagsire in the back.
I wondered if someone can help. My talonflame is unable to learn fire spin as charged move. It gives me option on my other talonflame but the one I want to use for great league the move option is not there. Can anyone let me know why please
Fire Spin is a fast move, do you mean Incinerate? Flame Charge/Fly are typically the charge moves you want to run on Talonflame. You 100% want Incinerate as the fast move for it btw, otherwise it's significantly less good. Incinerate is unfortunately a legacy move though, so if you don't have it, you'll need to use an Elite Fast TM. If that's the move you're trying to get, that would explain why it's not working.
First set with that Dewgong, Gligar, Trev team I went 5-0. 2100 scrub ranks but still for the mind of a stoner that’s deec. Don’t have Shadow Gligar either, the normal version has always served me well. Although Talon is kind of a problem and I’m seeing Altaria and Noctowl at these ranks.
The best players don't use these teams. The best players have fun in GBL running Pokémon they like, not meta mons forced onto them. They might not reach legend every season but they have fun, and the occasional times they do reach legend with a team they've made themself are far more rewarding 😊.

I really appreciate seeing actual teams that worked, as opposed to general guides on team-building principles. Thanks for the helpful vid.
I tried the Doonebug97 team and just got owned by Azu 1-4 set, but I made a few mistakes. Even ran into a Dunsparce lead
I wonder how could the first legend team work (Charjabug + Spark Lanturn + Talonflame) in a meta full of mudboys
X scissor surf spam until the shield and then unleash talonflame and pray there's no bastiodon closer
it wouldn't work now. the early meta was all over the place and they probably got lucky with that
Last team if you ran clod, licki and azu, surely that bulk is going to go places. Might give that a go.
Spark Lanturn + Dewgong + Clodsire works well for me. As in usually winning atleast 4 battles if not 5. Sometimes I switch Clodsire for G. Stunfisk but I found that boi is not as bulky as Clodsire.
Being out of the meta for sometime now it looks so different now lol. Also my lickitung is like 70xl candy away from max still.

Wait for the basti leads then

I was using same but i mistakenly transferred my altaria💀
@@kratos331 transferred ? Pain bruh. Those Altarias take forever to evolve

DanOttawa did a video of IV 5 days ago. That could help you choose.
@@ThomasoElg actually I have done all of the research to come to the conclusion that I want the 10/15/14. Ryan Swag deep dive video is the one you should watch if you’re looking for 1 as well
@@73PhlonRon23 yes. Heard about his name in several videos. Thanks for input.
@xdabsx1 lol you can literally run any GL caught lickitung and it's fine.
I used that bus+lanturn core during last catch cup to an amount of success that honestly surprised me
I definitely like the Dewgong ABA Team! As ABA has become my more preferred playstyle, given the RPS issues I have with ABB, but I'm willing to give some of the ABB teams a try as well. I hope to see more ABA teams at some point.
i left this game for 9 months and my mind has been blown seeing all these new mons in the meta
Seems like the meta teams are mostly similar, will experiment with some of these! Currently running Buzzwole, Stunfisk and Toxapex for fun haha
Been running aloamola Seviper and a wak....but now that ultra is in milot8c poliwrath and yanmega
Love the videos I feel like I'm in pokemon school 😅like ash when he went to alola
Any team for ferrothron, bastiodon, mantine or skeledirge on GBL?

Is it possible to run the triple shadow team (Alolan Sandslash, Poliwrath and Gligar) with a regular gligar?
Nope not allowed
To sum up your video. welcome to the season of RPS!
All the teams I’m facing have a Medicham. Not sure why he is saying it isn’t used much. Friends of mine say they are also encountering it a lot.
Does anybody know why the battle freezes randomly for before I’m about to win a match?

what is a twitter?
Idk Probably like a twin hitter like bedrill, or dewgong and walrein maybe
X-atu like Pokemon flying type
Thank you for the video. it's very helpful.
I was wondering why i was seeing so many of team #1 that is triple weak to mudboys. It was free elo since i lucked out and been running whiscash and quagsire in the back.
I’m using a “Poliwrath/Umbreon/Vigiroth” team and winning every 4 out of 5. I’ve still got a lot to learn but right now I’m happy with my team 😅
That’s a fun team!
@@ZyoniKMeans a lot coming from god himself.
moveset?
Last Return Umbreon? or are you going with some Psychic spice?
Dog water team
My team Woops urs skeli, Medi, steelix

Try gligar trev and bastiodon closer if you have them issues. Dewgong doesn't have the fast move pressure and resistances to deal
Where is the infograph?
Wassup man I’ve been using Poliwrath Raichu, and Glalie in the the Great League and won 21 straight games
Elo?
Happy New Year
I feel like wow and pogo has a weird overlap in playerbase
The real question is how long did they run these teams
Love these vids Zy- HNY everybody 🎉
Still think primeape is underrated In gbl. Its really good 👌
I've been thinking about it. It can take on skarmory running steel wing which is nice.
How does team 1 beat gfisk 😂
The best players don't use these teams. The best players have fun in GBL running Pokémon they like, not meta mons forced onto them. They might not reach legend every season but they have fun, and the occasional times they do reach legend with a team they've made themself are far more rewarding 😊.
Lmao get good
First time gaming?
well i like gligar poliwrath and dragonair
The best players are the ones who try their hardest! They might not win but at least they gave it their best shot! 😂😂haha
LMAO “the best player is the one having the best time” homie we are here for competitive info. Go home.
What rank is you’re lickitung?
I cant do any of these teams lol It fun tho im almost at 100 wins 3 more
Skarmory whiscash alolan sandslash
Most of these teams loose to the bastiodon,wigly,shadow vic
I hate the great league, just ultra and master for me.
Step 1: learn how to excel
Step 2: collect data
Step 3: Learn
I’m a loser
