reached 2690 with a variation of this team and then the frame rate issues became unbearable. dropped all the way down to 2550 as a result. it was always bad on Android but this weekend was almost unplayable
Yo Henry that was me in the third battle! Didn't even realize that I was playing against you 😭 GG though! I managed to hit legend yesterday using my team :)
I managed to hit legend with this team but with Cresselia instead of Shadow Gligar and Close Combat instead of Ice Punch on Ape There were so many mantine or empoleon leads when I was playing so ShadownMagnezone lead was putting in lots of work. in the mirror lead I tend to throw 5, mirror shot and no shield their move, then wild charge. its unlikely for them to go straight wild charge on the first move
I’ve got a shadow/Annihilape core running right now too, but it’s all zest: Ape, Shadow Golduck, and double legacy rank 1 Scyther (Steel Wing/Bug Buzz/Aerial Ace). High risk high reward 🔥
Just had a 15-0 run with shadow poliwrath, mantine, toxapex! Team! My 16th game was lost against an empoleon with 1hp left! It was heart breaking but a fun run 😊
I’d try this team since I got a Rank 1 Shadow Gligar (0/15/12) a few days ago, but I have to wait until the next go rocket takeover event😅. I’ll still look forward using it in the future.
If you play ultra league I did gator, double dark/poison. All shadows. I climbed 550 elo. Went from 2150 to just missing expert. Plan on trying to hit expert today. I went 6 sets 4/1. So many teams are double or triple weak to dark with gira, jellicent and cres. The hardest team to play was people using poli double dark/poison.
I enjoyed these two days without Lanturn &Co 😁 I wish Gligar was banned too. So many shadows everywhere, booms, and those moments of "omg which moves does THAT have?".
I’m starting to see a lot of frustration in the community due to the state of the game, even from those like yourself that try to remain as positive as possible. The bad events, the bad state of the game, the avatars looking bad (apparently the company that designed those got shut down?) all are making the game a bit unfun lately. That being said, love your videos, love watching my favorite streamers, just hope to game can be consistent because it feels unplayable.
I went on a 25-5 run with the same core but Mandibuzz instead of Gligar , it is trully OP
Let's gooo! Good stuff 🔥
As a fellow Android user, I feel your pain on the frame drops. They have been nothing but trouble since the new background change.
Same man I'm literally crying inside and losing many games due to these random bs drops
Even other games run smooth like world is against me
Try going to advanced settings and turning off extra animations. Seems to have helped my gameplay a bit so far. Hope this helps
My game won't even stay open anymore. Within 3 minutes it's crashing every time. No clue how to fix it
It sucks. I have an S23 Ultra, and this Go Battle weekend was horrendous for me. I ended up giving up on battling.
I was thinking I was the only one facing the lag 😅😂.

Shadow Gligar is probably the most flexible pokemon to ever be played in GBL
flying ground is just such a good type pairing
@@en20drayt87 offensively and defensively
They made it wayyyy to bulky for how versatile it is.
@@christoperwaters8961 yeah and the shadow can just trade that bit of bulk for good damage

Gg! Congrats on legend
@@HomeSliceHenry Thank you!!
At 2424 elo. Gonna try getting to Veteran hopefully soon with this team
You can do it!
You got this!!
@@HomeSliceHenry you were right! Jumped up to 2553 after a 10-0 run. I’d love to make it to Expert, but never have
It's like playing GBL using PowerPoint slides
Henry is just like me trying to call every dig as a bait 😂

For magnezone, is it better to have a high attack stat instead of low attack
nope he says near the end of the video that he has terrible IVs for his. The usual low attack, high defense/hp is better for magnezone
@@stefancoffa5980 oh thx
It's so funny how you end up shielding the aeral aces and let all the digs go through. Bad luck at his finest
Henry what do you do when steelix is in the lead?
Probably safe swap gligar
I only have normal magnezone does it still work?
yes duh, u just might lose/win a couple match ups
I feel that in the higher ranks people anticipate baits, so I just full send every time
Won many S. Magnezone lead mirrors this way 😂

What was the empoleon team?
@@kreativeNkrucial I honestly don’t remember. I’ve done soooo many battles today
Depending on the elo range that couldve possibly been me 😅
@@kreativeNkrucial 😂😂😂
i made it into the video at 8:28 lol
too many magnezone leads, switched to unovan stunfisk greedent mandi and its doing work. hopefully legend today.
Any replacements for shadow magnezone?
Could try regular electivire, but zone is preferred
@@HomeSliceHenry thanks a lot!
Ties are losses. You get 4 rewards, not 5.
What you do with ape lead, i faced 50% of the leads are ape. 😢
I switch gligar! That forces them out, then I can leverage energy on zone after the mid match to get shield advantage on my ape for the endgame
I went on 17-0 and keep going with this team, thank you!
I’d try this team since I got a Rank 1 Shadow Gligar (0/15/12) a few days ago, but I have to wait until the next go rocket takeover event😅. I’ll still look forward using it in the future.
It'll be a beast once frustration is gone!
Doing terrible in GBL, but when I see your intro it motivates me to continue getting the cool rewards😭
Hang in there! 🙏
Im going 4-1 in every set running poliw, togedemaru and crocalor
I love it
Would shadow electavire work unfortunately don’t have a great league zone 🤷🏻♂️
The battery percentage being 69 was nice 😂
Magnezone a monster in this meta, I paired it with mantime and peliper to reach legend
gligar lead ape/zone backline got me my first legend ever because it took me up 260 points day 1
Is this why I've been seeing infinite Magnezone leads the past few days?
Went front 1900-2400 in a single day yesterday using mainly greedent purified sableye and jellicent
Nice climb!
Try heliolisk-skeledirge core in ultra league 💪🏼
Can someone suggest me a team to climb for expert?
If you play ultra league I did gator, double dark/poison. All shadows. I climbed 550 elo. Went from 2150 to just missing expert. Plan on trying to hit expert today. I went 6 sets 4/1. So many teams are double or triple weak to dark with gira, jellicent and cres. The hardest team to play was people using poli double dark/poison.
@@christianspencer354 Appreciate the respond bro but I’m free to play so you could imagine I’m not built for UL 😅 only GLR for me
I use the same team but changed to shadow gallade! 3 shadow what a fun team
I enjoyed these two days without Lanturn &Co 😁 I wish Gligar was banned too. So many shadows everywhere, booms, and those moments of "omg which moves does THAT have?".
Is a tie counted as a loss
It's technically not a win or loss. No win reward, but it doesn't count against you
Played 5 sets and quit, lag make it impossible. Hope it gets better someday 😅
i cooked today with dewgong, annihilape, s victreebel
Aurorus is working great for me, i never faced one and i’m 20-5 I think
Sooooooo why wasn’t gligar banned? Its literally been EVERYWHERE 😭
I'm in the 2900s trying to make a legend run but all three of my pokemon are weak to this team. This video may cost me legend this season.
Tried this team with non shadow magnezone and non shadow gligar went 12 win streak thnxs henry...
Let's goooo 🔥
Good stuff
You should try Maractus out
thank god I already hit legend because this team shits on mine lmao

Ggs Henry
Nice
Lol weird. I ran this team before this video and was doing good too
Anyone enjoying the “remix cup” that allows the most used pokemon over the past two seasons? Niantic is a dog shit company.
Hey
All those digs into Magnezone hurt my soul 🥲😅
I liked Zapdos team better
2 min ago and very early also 2nd comment, 10th like
this already crappy game gets worse with every update, I think I'm out
