I hate spiders but I ended up trying Galvantula as well and did really well with it! I used Galvantula + Azu + Umbrian! Thank you for the video as always! We need to have you come on the THIRD SHIELD pokemon go PVP podcast! asap!
I'm loving Galvantula's spaminess. I think it's the only pokemon that can get to a 100% debuff move only three fast moves. Had a lot of success with it in the lead.
It’s almost the exact same team that was so common in season 2, but with stunfisk instead of galvanchela (both are electric, so very similar), The same team ordering, and the same tactic. But it’s inspirational to see how galvanchela perform with this new move. Your content is always helpful and inspirational. Thanks
Really interesting having a Bug-type that can handle Skarmory and an Electric-type that can stand up to Whiscash. I've been running Galarian Stunfisk primarily as a Skarmory counter, but now I'm glad I have it for Galvantula too.
Nice battles. I ran Galvantula in the lead today with Azu & Galar Stunfisk in the back. Went pretty well. It’s definitely a squishy option, hits hard but I decided on using it in the lead because it seems effective with shields, and Azu & Stunfisk can still do well with shields down.
I really want someone to showcase a double spider team with Galvantula and Ariados. Ariados is a spicy pick but its got a really great moveset with Infestation, Megahorn, Cross Poison meaning it gets to some really relevant charged attacks very quickly. I'm not sure what the 3rd member of the team should be to maximise the double spider core but I think it would work really well (against anything other than Galarian Stunfisk, Bastidon and Alolan Marowak).
I find it very hard to set the same frame of mind as with Icy Wind users, but that's exactly what I know I have to do. In 8:49 you absorb the damage but if you plan to debuff with Lunge, then it's usually better to shield there and keep building up while absorbing less damage, because Galvantula is really squishy.
I'm curious on this too? brave bird is 100 energy / 130 damage but I can just use two sky attacks that are 50 energy / 80 damage each. will get 30 more damage here. why not use flash cannon (steel) instead of brave bird?
in rainy weather. and you can also spend rare candies after you catch at least one joltik (not worth it I think) But yeah, I see joltik literally nowhere lol
Do you think it's easier to reach rank 10 as well? I finished rank 9 in every season which should be no problem in season 4 after these changes. But what about rank 10? Does the ranking system starts at 2500 points after reaching rank 9?
Awesome team I’ve been loving Galvantula myself we had the same idea! In Rank 4 I just went 5-0 with it in my last set I use it in the lead to pressure shields with Lunge and I have Azumarill and Galarian Stunfisk in the back I’m 19-6 overall so far.
Hey, in case you see this comment, galarian linoone is insanely powerful in great league. you're going to want to run snarl, body slam, dig. It's basically munchlax, except more affordable. It can learn lick, but with snarl, it can charge up to body slam and dig really quick.
till they added stunfisk i use to run shadow sneasel lead with galv safe swap catfish in the back. it was so much fun and worked great! already galv has been the key to me taking sets on 3 different silph cups and 2 drafts. galv was the imp of my parasect honchkrow sealeo catacomb team that beat 4 elites. cant w8 to use it with the new move now!!!
Very methodical as always. Your gameplay is just so next level. Love the content as always! This team will definitely cause a problem for the galvantula team I just posted haha
I used a galvantula lead with gal stunfisk and cresselia and went 18-7 today and had a lot of fun with it. Galvantula can basically win any lead other than stunfisk (regular or galarian)
I think the change in ranking system is so much better, because now people will be okay staying away from the meta, because losing isn’t as big of a problem anymore meaning wayyy more diversity
Galvantula is one of my favorite Pokemon! I'm super happy it got buffed, I already have one with good PvP IVs that I trained up so I've already been dominating Great League with it. I do worry that this means my hopes that Icy Wind would be nerfed are gone though lol
galvantula was my meta breaker last season and it was always good... my team was galvantula, a-muk, toxicroak if you want a proven, solid team that can handle those caleb lines
I honestly feel that Galvantula is good now with Lunge but I feel that this team doesn't offer sufficient coverage against the meta. A galarian stunfisk or bastiodon or fire spin awak hiding at the back gives this team some major problems. Whiscash lead is to hope to catch those as mentioned in your intro. Good video as always :) Edit: Plan to trap the gfisk, awak or bastio might not always succeed
Not sure if I'd call Galvantula a new pokemon. It had a ton of prevalence in like season 1 I think then dropped off a ton and now is back. Would love to try my own out now after seeing this video!
Lunge is nasty. I still won the match, tho it was surprising when lunge was used on my Swampert. I have lost several battles because of the switch glitch 😔
Can anyone answer this? If Emolga is an electric-flying typing, shouldn’t it be taking neutral from ground? If I’m not mistaken, ground is double super effective to electric and double resisted to flying
No typing does double super effective damage to any other single type. The only time an attack is double effective is when the defending Pokemon has two types that are both weak to the attacking move. Double resistances do exist in PoGo, though. The reason for double resistances is because in the main games some types are completely immune to certain types. Flying in the main games is immune to Ground so that translates to double resistance in PoGo. Ground is super effective against Electric, so overall Emolga takes resisted damage from Ground attacks. I hope that helps! Check out pvpoke.com if you want to check the typings and resistances of your particular team.
Zyonik you didn't make a mistake that first match. What I do on the third volt switch I make sure not to tap the screen when the animation is going on and tap the charge move to make sure i get off the discharge you should have won with the spider of death against that azumarill
I tried out your team today ... tons of fun bro! How would you deal with a Glisgor using this comp?! I swapped into chicken Skarmesan (Thx Scrublord dustin xD) to deal with it. I figured Blizzard would be too expected. Great vid bro!
Might have to switch up my great league team, since all three of the pokemon I've been running in great league since preseason (skarmory umbreon deoxys defense) are weak to galvantula
Can someone explain why his stats (appraisal) is so low, like his whiscash is 0/6/8? Wouldn't you want to go in with a high appraisal or hundo? I'm new to the battle environment though I've been playing for years, but I want to get into it. I know there is a strategy but I need to understand lol. Thank you for anyone who can explain
Attack has twice the weight of defense and hp. Which means 1 attack is equal to 1 hp and 1 stamina. In PvP, my attack goes against your defense and the rest goes subtracts the hp. So the person with 1 attack will lose against the person with 2 of the others.
I recently started playing PGO again, are IV's not important anymore? Cause you are using low IV's pokemon and apparently it doesn"t matter, i'm confused lol If someone can explain i would appreciate it
man that breloom spice! always thought he would work well as a glass cannon, but that double weakness to flying is a big barrier. might pair well with a sunny cherrim or other grass for the catch or trap strat?
Hey everyone, i hope your doing well and taking care of yourself. i was wondering now when Articuno comes next week, what would be a good team to play her with? and would you lead her or not.
Rank 10 is still for the elite, for me reaching rank 9 felt like such an accomplishment but now its quite honestly guaranteed as long as you play. My goal will be to still hit 2500, and reach for 2700 which I haven’t hit before
Rank 9 isn't going to feel nearly as...rewarding now but I'll take the extra rank worth of dust I guess. Just invested nearly all of mine on second charge moves & powering up.
10:55 "But the BLUHLUHLUH" 🤣🤣
I think he tried to say "the obliterating blizzard" but mixed it all together lol.
Everyone started using double dark and this is how Niantic replied. :')
So much fun :P
my Scrafty lead was loving all the double darks
Actually lunge was announced well before everyone started using double dark 😅 that's so strange
Then there's me destroying everyone with double fairy
@@codyscott3673 you saw that coming :p
I started using an unbalanced team as well due to Scrafties out there
I hate spiders but I ended up trying Galvantula as well and did really well with it! I used Galvantula + Azu + Umbrian! Thank you for the video as always! We need to have you come on the THIRD SHIELD pokemon go PVP podcast! asap!
This time you can also try for Halloween cup

Icy wind on articuno
You'll get to discharge and lunge after 4.8 seconds so articuno is better
@@erenyeager5222 true man. Volt switches does more dmg as a fast move which makes up for it. 😎

Thanks boss for the content. Really enjoyed the game play. Watching you and the guys that submit battles to your channel, really gets me pumped.
There is still reason to bait, as if u are sure they will shield u get a free debuff on them
Nice battles. I ran Galvantula in the lead today with Azu & Galar Stunfisk in the back. Went pretty well. It’s definitely a squishy option, hits hard but I decided on using it in the lead because it seems effective with shields, and Azu & Stunfisk can still do well with shields down.

I always use lunge first then spam discharge. The attack debuff helps so much plus usually draws a shield.
This guy is so awesome, that I'd spent a whole day listening to him without getting bored
I think you should start telling stories on youtube
ran a line of venusaur(lead) bastiodon and galvantula(safe switch), this team compliments each other so well against the meta
@Zyonik: Thanks for the vid! I have a question: Why do you got two fly attacks on Skarmory? When do you use Brave Bird and when Sky Attack? Thanks :)
I'm curious on this too? brave bird is 100 energy / 130 damage but I can just use two sky attacks that are 50 energy / 80 damage each. will get 30 more damage here. why not use flash cannon (steel) instead of brave bird?
Was running shiftry today against a galvantula. Forgot about Lunge, and thought it was a discharge. Didn’t shield, and got one shot lol
Where can I find Joltiks. I never see them anywhere. So I’ll probably never have a pvp galvantula and I want to use it badly.
in rainy weather. and you can also spend rare candies after you catch at least one joltik (not worth it I think) But yeah, I see joltik literally nowhere lol
Neptune Hamster I wonder how all these people get their hands on these almost unnatainable rare Pokémon with great ivs.🤔
@@sirens4562 haha! I wonder as well. I have a gavantula myself, it took almost half a year to get enough candies for it.
Is there a particular benefit of throwing two charge moves one right after the other? Like does your opponent miss a chance to get a fast move?
Hey bro hii, actually i have to ask that what if i use perrserker in place galvantula with shadow claw, close combat and foul play?
Do you think it's easier to reach rank 10 as well? I finished rank 9 in every season which should be no problem in season 4 after these changes. But what about rank 10? Does the ranking system starts at 2500 points after reaching rank 9?
The iv on the whiscash is considerably bad is it still good to be use in the gbl
Awesome team I’ve been loving Galvantula myself we had the same idea! In Rank 4 I just went 5-0 with it in my last set I use it in the lead to pressure shields with Lunge and I have Azumarill and Galarian Stunfisk in the back I’m 19-6 overall so far.
Raymond Santiago no your not
What would you do against grass leads like shadow victreebel, ferrothorn, bullet seed shiftry, meganium,etc?
Swap into Galvantula, keep the the flying type in the back, hope for the best.
Is air slash better than steel wing on skarm?
The Whiscash Skarmory duo is extremely versatile. Just choose your third Pokemon and those two usually have its back.
Hey, in case you see this comment, galarian linoone is insanely powerful in great league. you're going to want to run snarl, body slam, dig. It's basically munchlax, except more affordable. It can learn lick, but with snarl, it can charge up to body slam and dig really quick.
How would you play an Abomasnow lead?
Back to running shadow. Grotle, Gardevoir, and Mawile. Working well so far.
till they added stunfisk i use to run shadow sneasel lead with galv safe swap catfish in the back. it was so much fun and worked great! already galv has been the key to me taking sets on 3 different silph cups and 2 drafts. galv was the imp of my parasect honchkrow sealeo catacomb team that beat 4 elites. cant w8 to use it with the new move now!!!
I really want to try some spicy picks. Im trying Alakazam right now, but I don't know what else to try. Any suggestions?
my very first battle this season i went against lunge, now i might have to remake my team later on if it becomes a problem tbh
I don’t have the rare candy to power up the galvantula - can my jolteon with the same moves be effective?
Ben Joseph no it doesn’t have the bug typing or lunge Which is the whole point
What do those three numbers mean under each pokemon?
Wouldn't this team also work with Shadow Machamp?
Very methodical as always. Your gameplay is just so next level. Love the content as always! This team will definitely cause a problem for the galvantula team I just posted haha
Galvantula, Swampert and Skarmory work well if you can trap a.wak and bastiodon.
I used a galvantula lead with gal stunfisk and cresselia and went 18-7 today and had a lot of fun with it. Galvantula can basically win any lead other than stunfisk (regular or galarian)
Is there any reason as to why his skarmory has 0 attack IV’s?
Looks good👍
Does everyone get the same starting elo when u hit rank 9?
I think the change in ranking system is so much better, because now people will be okay staying away from the meta, because losing isn’t as big of a problem anymore meaning wayyy more diversity
i keep having the same problem when trying to switch pokemon... makes it very hard to try and catch charge move
I would like to know about ariados because I love it and I want to use it
Galvantula is one of my favorite Pokemon! I'm super happy it got buffed, I already have one with good PvP IVs that I trained up so I've already been dominating Great League with it. I do worry that this means my hopes that Icy Wind would be nerfed are gone though lol
I am using the full shadow team of Houndoom ,venosaur ar Gardevoir ,got almost 4-5 4/5 or 5/5
galvantula was my meta breaker last season and it was always good... my team was galvantula, a-muk, toxicroak if you want a proven, solid team that can handle those caleb lines
Lunge was a new great attack it made galvantula a lot stronger than it previously was
I’m amazed this man uploads as often as he does with 2 children under 1
Could u trap with lunge to debuff
Use masquerain with lunge it’s really good please make a video on it
I honestly feel that Galvantula is good now with Lunge but I feel that this team doesn't offer sufficient coverage against the meta. A galarian stunfisk or bastiodon or fire spin awak hiding at the back gives this team some major problems. Whiscash lead is to hope to catch those as mentioned in your intro. Good video as always :)

I am having a hell of a time with these damn Obstagoons!
Always bring a charmer
Lunge is nasty. I still won the match, tho it was surprising when lunge was used on my Swampert.
I have lost several battles because of the switch glitch 😔
Yep there's a switch glitch I thought I'm the only one noticing that
Used Galvantula (lead)
Hypno (thunder punch + shadow ball)
Azumarill
Got 3-1 in one set and 4-1 in other four sets
Can anyone answer this? If Emolga is an electric-flying typing, shouldn’t it be taking neutral from ground? If I’m not mistaken, ground is double super effective to electric and double resisted to flying
No typing does double super effective damage to any other single type. The only time an attack is double effective is when the defending Pokemon has two types that are both weak to the attacking move. Double resistances do exist in PoGo, though. The reason for double resistances is because in the main games some types are completely immune to certain types. Flying in the main games is immune to Ground so that translates to double resistance in PoGo. Ground is super effective against Electric, so overall Emolga takes resisted damage from Ground attacks. I hope that helps! Check out pvpoke.com if you want to check the typings and resistances of your particular team.
Thanks! I got confused
@@benjamintyler8105 No problem! Glad I could help!
oh.. I thought the reason to put wishcash lead is to lure out grass.. so you can swap in the skarm.. haha
Similar concept as well, happens in one of the games :)
tried this team tdy and went 5-0 in 2 sets ty zyonik:)
What is better on shiftry-snarl or bullet seed?
V2 Masters snarl charges a tiny bit more but almost doesn’t make a difference
Zyonik you didn't make a mistake that first match. What I do on the third volt switch I make sure not to tap the screen when the animation is going on and tap the charge move to make sure i get off the discharge you should have won with the spider of death against that azumarill
Is Brave Bird Blaziken viable?
What about galvantula and shadow machamp core? Those two squishy pokemons will destroy everything I guess.
Is Skarmory good without Brave Bird?
13:22 nope, aerial ace is not hitting super effective on bug/electro type
i meet standard castform, had no clue what moves it had
Thanks Mr Z. Actually I am using the same core (Galv + whisc) but with sableye as safe swtich and it is amazing!. Great content as always
I have been using this team since last season ( registeel instead of skarmory) works like a charm!
Seems like a Galarian Marowak could cook a spider with fast fire move and spam some nice neutral damage????
I tried out your team today ... tons of fun bro! How would you deal with a Glisgor using this comp?! I swapped into chicken Skarmesan (Thx Scrublord dustin xD) to deal with it. I figured Blizzard would be too expected. Great vid bro!

i invested in a shadow swampert and used my elite charged tm within 2 minutes
It's all fun and games till a shadow victrebell comes with razor leaf
@Beast Boy ye that's why I use a roselia 1500 max attack razor leaf it was gone in 2 seconds
I’ve been getting wins with Shadow Magnezone, Shiny Beedrill and Shiny Azumarill and it’s a really fun team.
Glad to know im not the only one having trouble switching. It got.to the point that i lost 6 battles in a row because of it
The spooder puts in work! Love using Galvantula to start
Last season i reached rank 8 with like 50 wins total...glad that now i have to double them, thanks niantic
Why do you use poor iv Pokemon?
The intro gets me excited 😀
I used a Melmetal it was pretty good the last season
That chart accurate? I have 31 wins but still in rank 5...
I actually run galar stunkfish, azumaril and meganium 🙃 it’s work well for me
Please do a video featuring zebstrika! With flame charge getting a buff it looks to be really good!
You and I think alike, first thing I did yesterday when S4 arrived was whip out galvantula for 5 sets lol
Deff fun but I got lots of lag every battle ony first pokemon and that is very annoying, great vid
Rank 9 isn't going to feel nearly as...rewarding now but I'll take the extra rank worth of dust I guess. Just invested nearly all of mine on second charge moves & powering up.
Why dont you play with pokemon with 100% stats?
I think the no.of battles to get to a particular rank is incorrect. I had 41 wins when I reached rank 6.
How do I get a joltik ?
Tbh,, Rank 1 felt like rank 9..😂
Yeah bro 😂
