Dude same before season 1 I didn’t have a single Pokémon built for pvp. Now I’ve got tons of meta and spice picks for great and ultra league. Still working on masters though haha
You're sub count to views ratio is actually pretty impressive. Branching out to other games isn't a bad idea because you've established a likable imagine that most people would watch whatever you produce. Best of the luck to your new channel man!
Bit confusing having both channels with exactly the same name, i will follow both - but would be good to see Zyonik Pogo / Zyonik Plays etc. Keep it up!
I am going to lead crustle.. im expecting alot galvan/diftblim/beedrill/manibuzz or awak lead.. but of cos.. if azu lead then i have to switch i guess?.. lol.
"It's not azumarill cup!" Trust me. It will be....... Edit: So i did a few gbl matches and practically all of them had azumarill. Even I used azumarill!
Very helpful video! So much flexibility of options in this cup. I just invested in a Crustle myself. I’m even thinking about bringing my Shadow Tyranitar
Accept that most if not all of my decent mon tend to be above 1500, hell a lot got just above 1500 after evolving as in 1520 and crap v~v or their waaaaaaay lower then 1500 lol (I also don't even play a month yet so, I am a new player really lol)
Zyonik you’re the man! I’m very excited to check out the new channel. Just wanted to say that you have a great personality for UA-cam videos. You’re intelligent while still being modest, entertaining while still being informative. Glad to have you around! Thanks again for all you do.
I got a 20 streak win with Golbat, Heracross and Swalot in Rank 8. The "weak link" is Heracross but it does a pretty good job handling Poison types with Earthquake and it just crushes Umbreon (or any dark type). I always open with Golbat and most of the time does a good job. Pretty solid. Swalot is without question the star. Almost no one knows what to do when facing it and very few people know it has Ice Beam. Battling against azumarill is a walk in the park. The most problematic pokemon to encounter are Crustle and Galvantula.
I myself have found a pretty decent team and it is scrafty with power up punch and acid spray along with Nidoking with the normal move set and drifblimp with the normal moveset
I started out using golbat, absol, Pinsir, and that got me to about rank 3/4 before I started encountering more and more issues, so I swapped to alolan Marowak and Toxicroak and have been having a lot more success. Golbat as a lead hits so many things for neutral damage and there's very few bad match ups for it. I'm surprised I haven't seen more of it, especially with its huge type coverage for this cup. Marowak is my next heavy hitter, and my only wish is that Bone Club hit a little harder. Toxicroak is there more for a backup role, but Counter is such a great, well, counter to dark types and Crustle that I just can't give him up. If I had a good Mawile I MIGHT use one over Toxicroak, but unfortunately my Mawile are pretty lacking.
Hello zyonik sir, I am yoir very very very big fan 🤩🤩 Just by watching your videos i learned so much about pokemons and there attacks 😉 And also wishing That your second channel will be growquiet fastly 😊
@@tyler1988 I've just been using dynamic punch but I just got mud bomb to use against poison types, for drifblim I use shadow ball icy wind. Don't use ominous wind, I tried it out and its to weak.
Forretress has Sand Tomb and Mandibuzz has Shadow Ball, don't forget it. Azu, Mandibuzz, Marowak-A, Umbreon, Galvantula, and Venusaur are gonna top it.
I threw together a very random team: Clefable with Charm, Meteor Mash & Psychic The GOAT himself Alolan Marowak Toxicroak with Counter, Mud Bomb & Sludge Bomb A lot of coverage and getting decent sets so far, really enjoying this cup, refreshing change of pace.
I have a rank 2 Swalot for Halloween Cup. I’d love to see a video of you using it so I could get some tips and insights. I’m using Swalot/Azul/Umbreon and I’m doing fine so far.
I tried 3 sets of Halloween cup using those pokemon I usually use in Great battle league (Shiftry, azumarill & marowak). Somehow I just managed to win 1 battle out of 15 battles... So I definitely will try the pokemon recommended here to turn things around!
Beedrill with Drill Run is an absolute MONSTER... but I recommend Fell Stinger instead of X-Scissor. The damage increase helped me run through some teams. High enough rank Beedrill and you can tank an Ice Beam from Azu like it’s a chip shot
I’d recommend Houndoom, Drifblim and Gengar as both my Gengar and Drifblims were able to take on alolan marowaks and my Houndoom was able to crush any bug pokemon
I lead with haunter, obstagoon, and galvantula, it is a super weak team and takes a lot of finesse, but bug buzz on galvantula destroys, I climbed halfway up rank 8 since yesterday
Umbreon, Alolan Marowak and Azumarill is already my regular team for the Great League. xD I'm hoping I get to try some new mons for the Halloween Cup, though.
I use this team, it is amazing (5-0) Crustle lead - fury cutter, rock slide, x scissor Alolan Ninetales - powder snow, ice beam, dazzling gleam Mandibuzz - air slash, foul play, aerial ace (i went on a really good win streak, but the fairy types gave me a hard time)
This cup will have an emphasis on the weaknesses of each of these types rather than a contained metagame. Bug< Flying, Rock, Fire Dark< Fighting, _Bug, Fairy_ Fairy< _Poison,_ Steel Ghost< _Ghost, Dark_ Poison< Ground, Psychic Maybe I’ll return and complete my analysis, maybe I won’t. I have a busy schedule and keep getting distracted.
My Halloween Cup team includes:- 1- Golbat(poison fang and shadow ball) 2- Obstagoon (night slash and cross chop) 3- Alolan ninetales (psychock and icebeam) This team is pretty good and has variety of matchups
I was just in a battle that disconnected and I was given the loss, after 30 seconds it puts me into that same battle down to my last Pokemon. I end up WINNING that battler down 3-1, and then my game crashed and it didn't count that win. what the hell did I just experience.
try shadow (Lead) sableye with shadow claw, shadow sneak , power gem, shadow golbat with wing attack , poison sting, shadow ball, and toxicroak with counter , mud bomb , sludge bomb, just went 23- 2 lots of fun and covers most of the meta, recovers from lost leads
I have an azumarill, but the max cp is only 1260 and I dont have the candy for it yet to power up. Should i use my rare candies and power it up? I definetely can't get 2 charge moves for it bc of the candy cost
Trying out "Gavantula(starter),azumarill and Crustle, works 8-9/10 games, only rank 9 and around 1800rating, just started again after 2,5 year break. So dont have so much good, will prob switch alot.
Zyonik - Has no dusk for Master League Unlimited Battles Also Zyonik - Powers up a Wormadam (Trash) to pair up with 37 other Pokemon for Halloween Cup. Love you and your content, Zyonik! - from another Pokemon Go Dad
If you want a team that works well try obstagoon, a wak, and golbat. I lead with goon but you can choose what you want. I gained 200 elo with this team going 5-0 or 4-1 in all of my sets today
@@amartanusaj2147 First test with GRash/Azu/Galva got me a 4-1 in rank 8. The rate at which you can fire off those Body Slams is insane. I load up to 3, get the first shield but not the second then they realize the slams won't stop coming and use their second. Then all you need is a good sweeper. (I use shadow Golbat).
Im currently running: alolan marowak - ball n club Mandibuzz -only 1 charge :( Obstogoon - gunk n slash Got a new 14 win streak and the team loook like a rock band lol
I was going to run Beedrill, Azumarill and Honchkrow but realized last night that Honchkrow leaves me really vulnerable to rock and electric...so I’m probably swapping it out for Shiftry and we’ll see how that goes. 🤷♂️
I already had a good shiny mawile and wigglytuff for pvp, I couldn't resist pumping up my shiny azu even I already have a better non-shiny. Better lose in style I say :D

I just realized that you have liked a bunch of my comments and I like your videos but I haven’t subbed lmao so here is my sub...
How many battles are we gonna get
Also give a try to my mate's music channel, it's called Thopiax.
Swalot is working as an ace for me in general from last 2 seasons
And infestation buff was awesome 👀❤️
Subbed already
Alolan Marowak: #8 in the rankings, #1 in our hearts.
Truly
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Feels so satisfying to scroll on Pvpoke and see you have almost every PVP Pokemon for gl. 4 seasons ago I didn't even know what PVP was lol.

my crustle will have fun
"It's not azumarill cup!"
Trust me. It will be.......

My Shiftry like it
I run Azu but I don’t depend on it i like Mandibuzz more
@@TheRoomierPlayer54 My beedrill agrees
I use azu as closer

Best of luck with the new channel! Glad to see you’re branching out!
Maxed out a sableye for it, gonna be running galvantula azumarill and sableye
Will sableye need return to do well in this cup?
@@lamarscrotum1236 not necessarily but Return does a big oompf when unshielded
currently working on getting my Return Sableye Best Buddy for this too.
Wigglytuff says hi
Running azu is sooooooooo boring
I'm glad this Halloween cup is 1,500 CP so many trainers can enjoy battling
Accept that most if not all of my decent mon tend to be above 1500, hell a lot got just above 1500 after evolving as in 1520 and crap v~v or their waaaaaaay lower then 1500 lol

If it was ultra or master halloween cup then giratina would dominate
Love your teams as always!!❤️
Subbed to yr new channel!!💪
Are you kidding? I've been using beedrill for 2 seasons now, it's absolutely phenomenal :D I got it from com day, it is frail but drill run chunks
Huge Beedrill fan myself, I run Alowak and Clef with it
I run fell stinger, inspired by Dustin

Really nice video, thank you! can't wait to see your first team comp of this tournament:)
I myself have found a pretty decent team and it is scrafty with power up punch and acid spray along with Nidoking with the normal move set and drifblimp with the normal moveset
I've been having fun with Galvantula, Alolan Marowak and Azumarill
Super excited for the new channel an also halloween cup. Didn't get as much practice but build a solid team in my opinion
Just powered up my purified dusclops with is 11/10/15...its only 1475 cp though as im only lvl 35, hopefully its got some play though
I started out using golbat, absol, Pinsir, and that got me to about rank 3/4 before I started encountering more and more issues, so I swapped to alolan Marowak and Toxicroak and have been having a lot more success.
Golbat as a lead hits so many things for neutral damage and there's very few bad match ups for it. I'm surprised I haven't seen more of it, especially with its huge type coverage for this cup.

I like shadow TTar with smack down on the lead to counter spider and flyer leads. Look out for Crustle and double charm users folks! Aka Charmhole.
Use that shadow Golbat poison fang. It’s fast and of course fast moves wing attack!
Alowak, Beedrill, and Clefable have been really good for me at around 2200. Not that highly ranked but still
Great content as always. I'm leading with Haunter, using Galvantula as my safe switch and Azumarill in the back.
Hello zyonik sir,
I am yoir very very very big fan 🤩🤩
Just by watching your videos i learned so much about pokemons and there attacks 😉
And also wishing
That your second channel will be growquiet fastly 😊
I've been smashing the competition with toxicroak, drifblim, and scolipede in that order.
But mandibuzz counters my team
what moveset are you using with toxicroak and drifblim?
@@tyler1988 I've just been using dynamic punch but I just got mud bomb to use against poison types, for drifblim I use shadow ball icy wind. Don't use ominous wind, I tried it out and its to weak.
@@tyler1988 for me counter and mudbomb have been phenomenal
Awesome as always! Thanks for the advice!
Great vid... really informative... where is your mate FLW videos?... he's dissapeared....have I missed something?
Forretress has Sand Tomb and Mandibuzz has Shadow Ball, don't forget it.
Azu, Mandibuzz, Marowak-A, Umbreon, Galvantula, and Venusaur are gonna top it.
Yep got that shadow venu down!
I threw together a very random team:
Clefable with Charm, Meteor Mash & Psychic
The GOAT himself Alolan Marowak
Toxicroak with Counter, Mud Bomb & Sludge Bomb
A lot of coverage and getting decent sets so far, really enjoying this cup, refreshing change of pace.
Wormadam Trash looks like a solid option as well
I have a rank 2 Swalot for Halloween Cup. I’d love to see a video of you using it so I could get some tips and insights.
I’m using Swalot/Azul/Umbreon and I’m doing fine so far.
Could you try Obstagoon?
I have like only 6-7 mons to try out lol
Also hope your new channel is a success
Thoughts on return dusclops? Great video! Keep up the great work
I tried 3 sets of Halloween cup using those pokemon I usually use in Great battle league (Shiftry, azumarill & marowak). Somehow I just managed to win 1 battle out of 15 battles... So I definitely will try the pokemon recommended here to turn things around!
Could be great to see if you can show some battles during Halloween with Nidoqueen, Galarian Weezing and hydreigon

Did anyone notice that Alolan grimer was ranked 34😂😂
I lead with haunter, obstagoon, and galvantula, it is a super weak team and takes a lot of finesse, but bug buzz on galvantula destroys, I climbed halfway up rank 8 since yesterday
I actually had a whole lotta fun in this cup. I started out with the stuff I had but built more Pokemon along the way which was nice.
Is there a way to submit fights for the h'ween cup to you?
Loved it and was shocked that Zyonik uploaded Among us video!
Umbreon, Alolan Marowak and Azumarill is already my regular team for the Great League. xD I'm hoping I get to try some new mons for the Halloween Cup, though.
I need these tips to progress. Thank you Sir 👍
I use this team, it is amazing (5-0)
Crustle lead - fury cutter, rock slide, x scissor
Alolan Ninetales - powder snow, ice beam, dazzling gleam
Mandibuzz - air slash, foul play, aerial ace
(i went on a really good win streak, but the fairy types gave me a hard time)
This cup will have an emphasis on the weaknesses of each of these types rather than a contained metagame.
Bug< Flying, Rock, Fire
Dark< Fighting, _Bug, Fairy_
Fairy< _Poison,_ Steel
Ghost< _Ghost, Dark_
Poison< Ground, Psychic
Maybe I’ll return and complete my analysis, maybe I won’t. I have a busy schedule and keep getting distracted.

Hey Zyonik will you do a Halloween battle with a frosslas in the team. I simply want to see how it holds up.
my team is wiggly lead, drifblim safe swap, and scrafty back door
I was just in a battle that disconnected and I was given the loss, after 30 seconds it puts me into that same battle down to my last Pokemon. I end up WINNING that battler down 3-1, and then my game crashed and it didn't count that win. what the hell did I just experience.

Couple of sets this morning. 8/10. Mandibuzz, Crustle, Azu. Handles a lot!
Very fun to have this sort of meta. Well done Niantic
Stoked about cyberpunk and the gaming channel! Keep branching if it makes you happy
My suggested team was toxicroak, crustle and azu. Currently 6/0, loving the Halloween cup so far
A confusion user you did not think about is Mr Mime. Psychic and Shadow Ball are great moves.
I have an azumarill, but the max cp is only 1260 and I dont have the candy for it yet to power up. Should i use my rare candies and power it up? I definetely can't get 2 charge moves for it bc of the candy cost
I kinda wish they didn’t add fairy types to the Halloween cup. That just means we’re still going to have to deal with azu.
Keep a poison type in back (Beedrill Rules!)
