Played this exact team just a couple of hours ago. Dunno if that was you. Got absolutely wrecked. I was playing Shadow Machamp>Shadow Drifblim>Shadow Kanto Marowak
You have to check out Milotic man, ridiculous right now with primarinas everywhere, retro cup is even crazier dragon tail, surf, hyper beam is crazy good hope you check it out
I ran oranguru, clodsire, primeape. Decent in theory. A bit lacklustre in practise. Currently running primeape, feraligatr(s), clodsire with better results.
I still don't get arctibax, oranguru & giraff with good pvp IV. That's why I'm still using miltank, clodsire and jellicent ( sometimes I change to drifblim or Annihilape to prevent bad RNG matchup). Also some of my opponent rage quit when they face my miltank as lead, maybe they don't have answer for it.
Retro Cup shouldn't be that much different from OGL since the only key missing mons are Wiggly, Azu and Malamar (maybe drapion). And that somehow has made Oranguru top meta. Have we been sleeping on Oranguru in OGL
It's less about the mons specifically and more about typings. With dark out of the way, Brutal Swing and Trailblaze having received buffs, it's only natural that Oranguru is top meta in this cup due to its bulk and coverage. It also does well in UL as an anti-meta pick
@@itzmatos Im aware it's the typings and that's why I listed those mons because they were the only key mons from those banned typings. there's barely any dark in OGL aside from Malamar which takes quite a hit from brutal swing anyway and Mandibuzz. Morpeko is a very recent edition and has died down. Realistically it's not hard to counter these and build a team around Oranguru
NEED SOME HELP FROM THE COMMUNITY. If I run this team substituting Oranguru for Shadow Machamp, it still works right? Playing at 2000-2200 elo range, if that somehow helps. Shadow Dragonite>Shadow Machamp>Shadow Cresselia
Definitely no. Oranguru is a Psychic that resist Ghost. Machamp is a Fighting type that cannot harm Ghost. They would not work anywhere similar. You would have beter Normal matchups, but you lose to all Psychic types, including Oranguru plus you would be in serious trouble against Gligar, Drifblim, Trevenant, Annihilape or any Bug like Golisopod or Araquanid. The point of an ABB team is to have two similar types on the back. You cannot replace a psychic with a fighter.
This team just got me 2 4-1 sets to start the day to get me to legend for the first time ever. Thanks man!
I stuck with this team today as well, and I finally crossed the line to Veteran! Thank you and best of luck on the regional championship this weekend!
Frieza energy at 00:24 lol
I’m trying to use gothitelle as a meta breaker (resists psychic and charms dragons) but I keep forgetting that gothitelle is bad lol
with rockslide right? i def get the concept but it is a bad mon lol
Shadow gyrados, oranguru, and cress has been doing well for me :)

Genuinely think Jumpluff is an awesome pick for this meta. It’s got play in to everything.

Is shadow cresselia any good to use
Regular better
Could ampharos be good?
I'm loving to punish Oranguru safe switch with my sucker punch Furret
I only have shadow Cress that I could build for GL. Will that work too or do you need all the bulk?
@@tonywalker6320 shadow cress lacks a lot of bulk that really makes cress shine imo

Bro nobody rage quits against your shite team
Militank is garbage and so is jelicent
Put Crunch or Brutal Swing on something that doesn't normally run it. Bye, Orang.
