Timestamps for Types of Lead Matchups (unless otherwise specified):
00:39 - Metagross
04:31 - Dragonite
09:18 - Togekiss
14:25 - Magnezone
19:33 - Gyarados (Dragon Breath)
20:28 - Garchomp
22:52 - Empoleon
24:11 - Rhyperior
25:15 - Swampert
26:42 - Mirror Line (except with Dragonite in the lead)
Would psyhic metagross be as viable? I have a MM one but not powered up fully
BEFORE RUNNING THIS TEAM KEEP IN MIND:
Magnezone lead: youre banking/hoping they dont shield your crunch and stay in (most ppl do)
Togekiss lead: youre banking/hoping they shield your charge move (most ppl dont)
Gyardos lead: the only example he shows is a dragon breath lead that stays in after you switch (what if they switch?), also no waterfall example lead at all
@@azndiamonddude I've actually never faced a Gyarados lead with WF yet (mentioned at 19:43) but in that situation, I'd just stay in rather than give up switch advantage. It'll just depend on a CMP coin flip on who wins switch there if both players are using 15 attack Gyarados or if someone chooses not to shield.
For some reason pvp is lagging so much. I'm barely able to get my attacks out yet I'm getting by multiple attacks really quickly, like two Hydro Cannon in a row without charging up.

ah yes, my favorite GBL content!
X2
I would say the most useful and instructive. He reminds me of Cybertron a lot, they very similar in how they explain battling 👍
It was your videos that first got me interested in GBL. I watch several other GBL creators now, but yours are still my favorite. Congrats on rank 10! Thanks for the great content.
That's awesome to hear! And thank you for the support! :)
For those Dnite vs magnezone scenario, generally true. Until you meet with a mad lad who build up to 2 Wild Charges, ate a dragon claw, but instead throw 2 MIRROR SHOTS, then went down. Never been so angry that I got baited before. You'd assume after the first mirror shot theyre gonna throw in a wild charge.
This is a terrific video. I ran this team for a few days and was doing really well but then I wanted to try Mamoswine and Arcanine teams and though I had a few good sets dropped about 200 points. I'm back to this team and really appreciate the way you break down each of the common lead encounters. That helps a lot.
When the fat cat winks at you lol 28:26
I was running exactly this team for a couple weeks and because of this video I've just reached rank 9!
I have an amazing recording from me doing a 5/0 and jumping from 2472 to 2532 Points in a fantastic final battle that I won even leading with my Gyarados against Magnezone. May I send it to you?
Please like it so he can see it, I really wanna show you my Dragonite with no shield beating a Magnezone with 1 shield!
Hey man! It's BellsproutTacos. Reason I went into Dragonite instead of Rhypherior is solely because it was you. I was thinking "ok this guy runs spicy spices, let's take a gamble." The gamble didn't work. Great game!
GGs! :)
I powered up my Dragon Tail Gyarados by accident but it wasn't helping me at all. So I gave up using it; then you uploaded this video and then got the courage to power up a hundo. Now I'm giving it all to regain the 300 points I lost since this league began. Thank you, Caleb.
Gonna try this now! Really love videos like this to walk us through how to handle each leads and the strategies behind. A+ content!
I have never not watched the full video of Caleb Peng pvp content. It’s just simply fantastic
Fact
Best Quality PoGo PVP content. Another great video! Thank you for sharing.
The only go battle youtuber that I always watch all the way through. Keep up the good structure and commentary :)
I did get a little frustrated though, running into more Gyarados leads with waterfall now, and just when I finally found a team that worked for me again (Hippowdon lead). I guess that's how quickly the meta changes, especially when the format is new.
Thank you thank you! :)
Hippowdon looks like a really fun pick! I really wish I had one to test out too :)
Caleb Peng Yeah, I was lucky to have a good one for once! Hippowdon is really fun but I found that it worked the best when most people at the ELO I used to be at was using Magnezone or Dragonite leads. It did help me climb quite a bit but then I switched it out to try other teams.
I love that you give the knowledge behind the moves! I had to subscribe
Congrats! And well done in continentals, it was a tremendously strong playing field
why after watching a Caleb video you feel like solving mathematical problems!!! Good job bro you are making it fun during Quarantine.
oh man I was Kaybuzz at 7:00. I was wondering if this would be your new team and I tried it out with dragonbreath gyarados with little success. I didn't know you were running a waterfall gyarados since I didn't even get a chance to fight it haha. GG's man
GGs! :)
Just went 4-1 with this team after being recommended to this team and your channel by zyonik. Been stuck @ rank 8 around 2135 and I’ve just shot up to 2171. Great content and team mate!!!
Thank you and that's awesome to hear!!!
Zyonik is also a great guy :)
Just read my comment again and it was actually 2271 I went to. I’m now at 2340 and grinding my way to rank 9!! Thanks again mate
CP, this team allowed me to reach rank 8 for the first time. Thank you so much. It's really well rounded. Definitely have some weaknesses but more coverage. Again thank you CP.
I've been studying your video so hard, ever since, increased my win streak! I'm running the same team minus hurricane on dragonite, but it still puts in work. Great content man!
Caleb's content is like that one christopher nolan movie you get after quite sometime but it's worth the wait and worth the watch
Hahah thank you! :)
Gonna give this team a go, you play really well, nice explanation on what and why, thx
caleb videos show so few losses that in my head he just never loses XD
Only shows you want he wants you to see
Haha I most definitely lose a lot too :D
Congratulations Rank 10!! Caleb!! 🥳
everytime he's in "tricky" situation its a lost in my situation
Premier Cup is just one big lottery anyways. He got lucky a few times because his opponent made some dumb plays or mistakes. In general though once you lose the lead or switch advantage in Premier Cup it's pretty much over. Too many hard counters in this small meta.
@@hannesbachmann8503 dno what dumb moves you're referring to. Some people make mistakes yes but its silly to come in with the 'he got lucky' statement
Also, this meta is WAY less walled than ultra despite being smaller. Imagine last season being a charmer vs registeel or cress vs registeel/melmetal.
@@CommonJ676 I mean I am happy for you if you feel this way but it's the complete opposite for me. Everything gets hard countered even the here suggested team. Maybe it's different for the folks up there but at the 2400 ELO range all I see are Magnezone leads and Metagross/Excadrill in the back. And most of the Magnezone leads are baiting with Mirror Shot. So even Caleb's suggested "consistent strat" doesn't work.
@@hannesbachmann8503 dont get me wrong, magnezone counters my entire team and I lose plentiful because of it. But I've also won a fair amount against it (55-60%@2700 ?). There is no 1 strat wins all but increasing your odds helps in the long term
Master and premiere league is always like this😂win lead or face a number of problems,and not to mention its so easy to make mistakes
The win with double meteor mash when they saved there togekiss was brilliant
Best half hour of my day so far! Great vid Caleb ❤️
Waiting since years 😂.. keep posting on regular basis 👍
Thanks for the video! Great combats!
I planned on running this with Metagross lead and then found myself with not enough Stardust once Premier started. Grats on rank 10!
Thanks so much for this help. My biggest challenge is vs togekiss when they don't take the shield bait...So far I have reached my highest 2300 rank with 98 gyra, 100 dragonite (haven't put second move but I think it is becoming necessary), and a hundo bb metagross.
Great video as always Caleb!
Man congrats! I don't have any of those Pokemon! I need Dragonite, Gyarados and actually yhe game finally throw me a 98% Metagross! So I just need the candy to max and second move it! Congrats!
And an elite TM for Meteor Mash
That's a weird looking persian 🤔🤣🤣
0:13
Hahah alolan perserrker :D
🤣
Youre video makes me relax..lol youre too good!! Any suggestions with shadow snorlax team composition?
Shadow Snorlax with Dragonite and Metagross is a good pairing. I actually went against a triple shadow team that used all 3 of these. Safe to say, I lost that one :D
@@calebpeng Oh what do u prefer as a First pokemon and Safe swap??Also curious about your S.Snorlax's moveset🤔
Premier Cup has def been may favorite league to play in.
Damn you Caleb. Was thinking of running this team, but can't now. I've been running the same with either Snorlax or Mamoswine instead of Dragonite. Was gonna try this out but now errrbody gonna expect it lol
Now that gyarados aqua tail is out, do you think running dragon breath would be better as the fast move for this team?
Hello Caleb, im using the exact team of yours. I wonder how would you handle the situation that magnezone is the lead, and the magnezone fire a charge move before I am able to fire a crunch? If i use a shield, then I will be in a very unfavourable situation. so in any case should i not shield? just let the gyarados with waterfall and outrage/crunch die?
Awesome as always! I have such a hard time with master. Cant win a single match...
let's see how many tricky situations there way so that i know how many times i'll lose
Congrats!! Killing it,
KING of gbl content and interesting team compositions
This has been my team since the start of Premier Cup.
Caleb, is there another Pokemon to run instead of Metagross? I don't have one with legacy movement and my best one is 93%. I'm running with Empoleon and it's helping me but I know it's not the same .. greetings from Brazil, I enjoy all of your videos
Hi there! :)
Magnezone is also a solid replacement
28:25 cat winks
Thanks Caleb for this great detail video, I was dropping 400+ points during the master league start and pretty upset until your video. 👍🏻 what will you do if facing Snorlax lead?
I stay in with Gyarados. It's kind of an uncomfortable matchup on both ends but you don't want to give up switch here.
@@calebpeng Thanks Caleb, appreciate it. I recently is using Dragonite (Lead), Metagross and Snorlax, this team is also doing really well.
I am also running the same team but having problem with snorlax on the lead and togekiss or swampert on the back.
I stay in against snorlax and just try to maintain switch advantage.
Came for the pokemon, stayed for the cat
Amazing team I tried it and I’m really happy with how well it’s done for me! Question how do you play Snorlax leads? I stayed in matched shields and barely won lead with 1hp.
Yup! That's the right play there. Most people like to safe swap snorlax but that would def be the way to go if they lead it.
Ur so fking good bro. Now I m wait til December to get one of those metacross.
Yo Caleb, how does this team perform with Aqua Tail Gyarados?
I was running this same team at the start the PC 👍
I’ll give it a try again.
This was my Team too in last 2 Days..It works for me very good
Do commentry for FP Sticks channel want to see you there?
Love these battles!
Haha your cats have there own city 😂
You’ve always helped me through gbl 🤔 haha you’re great!
you are on another level, impossible for mortals to reach
Haha I wouldn't go that far. I lost plenty just like everyone else too :)
@@calebpeng Greetings, I just went up to Rank 9 in the Premier Cup and now I'm trying to go up to 10 in the Master League
This is perfect. 🙏
I don't understand the wins with Gyarados against magnezone. It doesn't work when I've tried it and it doesn't work in the sims. They can get to two wild charges before you get to a crunch. Is the opponent dropping fast moves or something? Or trying to overcharge too much?
They're overcharging, which is the right play for magnezone since if they debuff themselves early, you can do a lot of damage with Dragonite after or they have to give up switch advantage early.
Omg I'm literally in the process of powering up a metagross to make this team right now. I didn't know it was going to be this good. I was expecting to swap out my Gyarados eventually.
Don't bother, just stop. Not worth it. Pvp is so broken right now. The lag is worse than before and people are still using 4 or 5 of the same charged attacks without charging them.
I just did several battles where the lag was beyond shit, and people used 2 or more earthquakes in a row. Lost over 100 points in 5 minutes.
@@sigisoltau6073 holy crap. Really? I played yesterday and it was lag free for me. Maybe at your rank there's more people exploiting?
@@sigisoltau6073 Dude and here I thoght it was my Wifi
Awesome content, you earned a sub
I'm new to this game.. can someone explain how making a Pokemon buddy will help in pvp.?
Instantly liked the vid. I know it'll be good.
I have been using this team for 3 days. It's amazing. I just need a 3rd move on dragonite
I run metagross lead with Dragonite and DB Gyarados safe swap. Your strats usually get very popular though so I'll prob have to change it up a bit.
Seeing more and more Machamp leads.
Welcome dragonite, togekiss, charizard.
I was hoping for some spicy team. But I guess running Metaknite would also work
Excelente video... Saludos desde Perú
Noice team Caleb. Noice tean. 😮👍
Caleb “And dennnn” Peng 🤣
Ps love the vids bro 👍👍👍
Hey what do u think instead of metagross a magnazone great video would love a reply or a vid with magnazone since it’s been so good
Zone would be good too! It's not as clean of a matchup vs Dnite but it's very strong in its own merit. I personally just don't have one to test out though but I def would give it a shot if I did
Caleb what is your opinion on running return instead of hurricane on dragonite?
I like Hurricane more. Return does 1 less damage against Metagross but costs 5 more energy than Hurricane.
Man you are the best❤❤
Hey Caleb do you think it's much harder to get to Rank 10 this season compared to the last? I'm at 2870 points but I keep hearing stories about the 2900+ grind and people tanking down to 2600 from my range due to the competition
100%
It's incredibly hard to hit rank 10 this season. For comparison, I hit rank 10 last season before GL was over. There's just less points in the pool this time around, with people's rank 7 ELO starting lower than last season.
Same team that I was running, but I am leading Dragonite, I'll try leading Gyarados today
Great video like always, Man! What are you opinions on Excadrill?
It's solid but still kind of dicey against dragonite. I personally don't like mud shotters/mud slappers in Premier.
@@calebpeng Thanks for the input! My team of Gyarados, Metagross, and Excadrill does a good job for the most part, but you're right about Dragonite. I do seem to struggle a bit when it comes to them. Thanks again!!!
Would switching waterfall for dragon breath and outrage for hydro pump solve the Dragonite problem?
Hi Caleb, the trend now seems to be to save both shields for the final matchup? any idea why this is happening? I feel likes its a pretty recent development
Depends a bit on what the matchup looks like, but 2 shield dragonite is very strong in this meta so if the togekiss is out early, it's not a bad idea.
Someone was saying Meteor Mash wasn’t needed on Metagross. Is it worth looking into a Psychic/EQ combo on Metagross and looking at how it does in Premier? Lmk thanks :D Great videos.
You'll definitely want MM for dragonite matchup. But exchanging EQ for Psychic can work. I personally like EQ more though for the steel matchup late game with shields down.
Caleb Peng true true , thanks for the reply, love the content
Congrats on rank 10 !
Meta is like 6 mons: garchomp, magnezone, gyarados, metagross, dragonite, togekiss - maybe a spicy snorlax and machamp
Da Man with Da Plan 👍
I run this team but with Hippo instead of Dragonite, but the waterfall Gyarados lead advice is much appreciated. So thank you. (P.S We'd have an interesting battle if we matched)
As for the Dragonite lead matches, I would think normally if you swap into your Dragonite, they're probably going to realize yours isn't a DB Gyarados anyway, bc if it was you'd probably stay in.
Probably true but unless you double shield a DB Gyarados against Dnite in the lead, you still end up losing so it's not out of the question to swap it out. I prefer to give them as little info as possible throughout the match until it's absolutely necessary for them to find out.
That's true, you'll end up down a shield to win either way. That's why I actually prefer a Dragonite swap in bc I can usually land the outrage on it it seems
does anyone talk about how smooth your fights look in your videos?
I don't include the laggy ones since it doesn't make for great educational footage, but yea, I lag plenty just like everyone else :)
Ótimo vídeo 🇧🇷😊
If I don’t have a metacross for this team...what’s a good alternative for it?
Magnezone is solid
I found out that *Empoleon* and *Whimsicott* only leave ONE type uncovered (-The Ghost type is that one type, and it is still a neutral match up.). *Empoleon* and *Whimsicott* are definitely a good pair. Should I pair *Empoleon* with *Whimsicott?*
I was thinking of *Empoleon* having *Waterfall* and *Whimsicott* having *Charm.* How about using the correct type, like @EXAMPLES?
EXAMPLES:
Empoleon vs Heatran
Whimsicott vs Groudon
Empoleon vs Metagross
Whimsicott vs Giratina
Empoleon vs Rhyperior
Whimsicott vs Swampert
Literally the team I been using but with Dragonite lead. Up about 300 points myself.
I am using the same lineup as yours, but I use dragonite as the lead. why do you use gyarados as the lead instead?
I like Gyarados more since Dnite lead is solid but often needs to rely on burning both shields to win matchups. Facing metagross in the lead with dnite is tricky since you either switch in your hard counter gary but they swap out and take it out with something else, like their own dnite, or you swap your meta into the opposing meta with an energy lead, which means you'll lose that mirror if they stay in.
Snorlax lead?
I stay in and try to maintain switch advantage
@@calebpeng thanks greetings from mexico 🇲🇽
I swapped Dragonite for Milotic and it works insanely great.
17:16 "let me show you some situations where they are shielding that crunch" where are those situations then?
I'm kind of confused by this question. 17:19 and 18:26 show them shielding crunch, or were you asking about something else?
buen team, debo probarlo
What's the bg music?

@@calebpeng thanks man 😄
Congratulations. I reached 2900 rating with rhyperior lead - maybe because of this people started using it :) After this vid, rhyperior is almost useless. I need t think about another team... :)
