Been wanting to try out this team for a while and finally got a shadow poliwrath from this team rocket takeover weekend where poliwags were in shadow raids, I got a rank 300 poliwrath! I went 3-2, 3-2, 4-1 so far. I dont have any more charge tms so I'm rocking pup icy wind haha. One game opponent just top lefted assuming I had the scald lol. Love the content btw. Reminds me of when human catcher bug made these kind of vids and youtube recommended them to me.
Great video! Would be interested how you deal with S-dragonair leads. Play out the lead matchup? Stay in and throw a thunderbolt and switch to S-poliwrath afterwards? Or switch immediatly to S-poliwrath?
If your opponent has a decently ranked skarmory, they will actually survive that icy wind and ensuing counters long enough to reach two moves and take out your poli :) So the safe play is to go for two scalds
This is my first season playing seriously, I got up to 2743, was one game away from hitting expert, and I went on a huge losing streak. Back down to 2500. I've tried all sorts of teams but don't really know how to play them. Was able to win a couple games with this team but still losing most of the time. Not sure what to do. Thanks for your content
Keep working at it and try to learn each pokemon's individual matchups as well as trying your best to perfect move timing. Those two thing will help your play substantially. It takes a lot of practice but stay positive and try to not get discouraged!
I’ve been using this team except with vig instead of s-poli recently and it’s been working wonders. A lot less mud bois in my range ~2500 after the catch cup for some reason and I like the counter damage without all the normal flying weaknesses.
@@KPineI switched teams to yours today and I got all positive sets and like you said, grass leads are fee and far between, I didn’t see a single one. Poli with the debuff potential is just so good rn in the meta so hopefully they don’t nerf scald cuz I’m gonna keep abusing it.
Generally yes, but it's hard to say because I haven't played this team with regular poli. Regular poli is a downgrade though which will be noticeable in matchups such as azu and jelli
What rank are these three? You mentioned having a good Gligar. I have a rank 80 Lanturn, 300 S-Poli, and 50 Gligar. Trying to figure out if good enough to build. Thanks! 🍻
Definitely usable but will be a noticeable downgrade. If you find the lack of damage from the non-shadow being too much, you can try annihilape as a replacement but then you no longer have the ability to debuff your opponent
While difficult, it’s not impossible. I have beaten some shadow vic leads by playing it out the way I describe during my description of the team in the intro :)

Is this the open GL or the catch cup? Great showcase as usual man
OGL and I appreciate it 🙏
Always appreciate teams that don't have ridiculous xl candy grinds

I like to chip with a thunderbolt and then swap into the poli :)
If you throw icy wind instead of scald on skarmory, you still win 1-shield and come out with a lot more energy.

@@KPine Ok, I'll try that. Thanks for your comment 🙏

Glad you've been enjoying it or at least a variation of it!

I also don’t have shadow poli but regular is still good enough for me, one noticeable difference is the skarmory matchup
@@derekcruz742 Happy to hear it's been working well for you!
Do you think this is viable with non shadow poli?
While it is, it would be a noticeable downgrade especially against azu and jelli
Hi KPine, can the regular Poli substitute the Shadow Poli? If not do you have suggestion of alternative mon?
It can but would be a downgrade as the shadow damage bonus helps in a lot of situations. Annihilape could work to fill a similar role as a replacement
Do you play it differently with regular Poli?
Generally yes, but it's hard to say because I haven't played this team with regular poli. Regular poli is a downgrade though which will be noticeable in matchups such as azu and jelli
Bro i recently got a ahiny gligar ? Shoud i evolve it or use it in great league ?
I recommend checking its ranking to see if it's better as a gligar or if it's better as a gliscor in either the great league or ultra league :)
@@KPineIt's a 100iv so what should I do ?
@@subhashthakur8226 I'd hold onto it for collection purposes while you try to find a better one that fits more of a pvp iv spread
@@KPine thanks for the advice and giving your precious time to me .

These three pokemon are all high ranked where yours should work well!
I don’t have any shadow poli. Is no shadow a lot worse?
While non-shadow poli can still work, it would be a noticeable downgrade
Can you show your pokemon status
Just went 5-0 with this team! (non-shadow Poli)
Went 13-2, great team :)
@@noahkerr Glad you have found success with the team!
It was all fun and games until I faced an abomasnow lead
Definitely a corebreaker 😅 swap into the poli and hope they’re running icy wind instead of weather ball for the gligar!
That's the background music used by FPSticks 😂
He's got good taste!
Say u don’t have a shadow
How screwed am I
Definitely usable but will be a noticeable downgrade. If you find the lack of damage from the non-shadow being too much, you can try annihilape as a replacement but then you no longer have the ability to debuff your opponent
don’t apologize for BMing 😂
Impossible to hang shadow vic damage.

imagine not having the 20-0 battles in "legend".....
No 20-0 😂
