Both have their advanatges/trade-offs. I prefer the regular since it has the extra bulk for matchups against ferrothorn and isn't as threatened by fast move pressure. The shadow does output insane damage and have a better matchup against azu tho so it's all a preference

ASlash is actually a neutral lead and not a hard counter lead because if you bait with the dragon claw, you now actually win both the 1 and 2 shield scenarios with scorching sands since you win cmp. If you decide not to bait and full send the scorching sands both times. you then want to swap into the azu to try and catch their third ice punch. As for skarmory, I swap into azu right away

@@michaelhowell2809 Good to know!

@@alfiesmullet1311 Pure bliss 😂

Btw azu I use flash cannon on either turt or gstun for the counter.

@@tylero2112 Seems like a fun team!

@@tylero2112 It’s so good

I have a rank 1 and it's 1404 right now lol I still use it. And it works

Il use him turt and gstunfisk and it's a banger of a team. Also sometimes I'll use slurpuff with the grass fairy fire moveset . Very nice. Underrated. Lucario is used too much and azu as well. Sometimes I'll run melmetal. I like him over magnezone.

@@tylero2112 Oh, I don't doubt that Azu is powerful. I just hate facing him and I feel guilty doing that to my opponents.

@@thylzos When azu is on basically every team, there is no reason to feel guilty running it 😅😂

I was feeling ferrothorne

@@billyskinner9382 I feel like this is one of the better limited metas we have ever gotten really

@@bromersh1 Regular ferro is just generally better due to the bulk, but if you do run the shadow, you’ll need to properly get down the undercharge in the ash matchup to take full advantage of it :)

@@bromersh1 It’s such a strong team!

@@garchomp2527 Life gets busy 😅 plus the metas were a bit stale unfortunately

If it's a swampert lead, that's a very good matchup for the dragonair and you can actually no shield a move if it's only a hydro cannon and still take switch, but if they build up to a potential eq at all, then you need to respect it with a shield. For swampert in the back, I actually recommend changing lanturn to water gun to help with the mud bois, especially post spark nerf.

@@KPine that’s been a really useful tip! Thank you, but now I’m running into trouble with Azumaril, would you say I should move back to spark to deal with this or no?

@@RobbJohnn Water gun lanturn generally has more play onto the current meta than spark does. With that said, I’d typically recommend sticking with water gun. If you feel like you are seeing a significant amount of azus to justify spark then I could see the change to it, but otherwise, I’d stick with water gun

I have not heard of that type of cheating being a thing gbl. I think it's more likely you lagged at the start/got put into battle late and they unfortunately got a couple of mud shots for free

@@Sam18C Goon leads are tough but actually very doable. Since you’re ABA weak to them you need to stay in with the greedent. If your greedent is high enough ranked, you can actually reach three body slams before they’re able to reach a cross chip and farm down. This means that you’ll either force a shield from them, or cause them to throw a second move in order to deny your third body slam. Once the greedent goes down, you’ll want to come in with the gligar. At this point the greedent gets the obstagoon low enough where it’s even manageable for the jellicent. If your greedent isn’t high enough ranked where once they land that cross chop they can then farm you down before you reach three body slams, you’ll then want to pivot into the gligar after you land the second body slam.

@@mikkelpiper Glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for the support! 🙏

@@Grumpy-Drum deoxys, ghosts, and steels

@@KPine truuuue I forgot steels. In a world of Gligar, mudbois and Annihilape I forget about steels

@@Average_CoD_Clips It’s an interesting moveset that may be able to pull out some wins but the spam of body slam is extremely helpful

@@Minicokeee I like to crunch and then swap to gligar :)

@@timu0927 Definitely stunned me for a moment 😂

@@ExiledtoVampa I would have to agree with you there

Absolutely unbelievable Gligar skipped the ban list. And I'd argue Poli is used far more in GL than Medicham, so that also makes no sense

There’s a lot of stuff that should be banned. Registeel, cres, and def deoxys should be banned as well.

@@TheRealMrAndrew cres isn't in remix

@@ExiledtoVampa I stand corrected. Now it just needs to be nerfed into oblivion so it’s never used.

@@thylzos you probably will notice a little difference in the bulk but Greedent can still put in a lot of work

@@KPine Thank you sir! I really really want to try Greedent, as it looks very fun, but I think I will wait for a better one. My current team for Remix performs well so far, so I think I can make it work.

@@thylzos If your current team is working and you don’t have the resources to use on a sub par one then I’d definitely hold out :)

Chip with a surf then safe swap into your own licki

Best of luck with the team!

Glad the team has treated you well so far! Grasshole teams are hard to overcome. You counterswap the licki into their shadow Vic and hope they let you keep switch. If they take swap it’s unfortunately over but if you have a high enough ranked licki you can actually achieve a bulk point against their razor leafs to win the 2s. Mud boi leads you instantly swap into the licki. And with that third team, you one shield the wiggly after bringing it into the poli and farm it all the way down. Then you icy wind their wiggly and continue to charm. After their poli is gone and their wiggly is low enough from your own. Lanturn and licki should be able to handle the rest as licki does well enough into the ape (unless it’s a licki slayer ape).

Glad to hear it helps!

Thank you and welcome in 🙏

Thanks!

Hope the team works for you!

Swap into the licki right away

Yeah lanturn is quite bulky :)

Had me in the first half. Tf was this comment lmaoo

@@DrXPEH exactly what I said very simple scrub

Congrats, this is now the most ridiculous comment I have ever received 😂

Thank you!

It means damage registration error

DRE or "Damage Registration Error" is the new term for what used to be called "new mechanic" and the licki I'm using has egg/raid ivs

Safe swap into your licki. If it’s a venu lead, then switch isn’t important and you want to try to garner some sort of energy/shield advantage

@@KPine Thanks youre the best!

You can try Vigoroth instead of Lickitung but it may not bait out the steel types you want it to and annihilape counter swaps would be very bad. There is really no “true” replacement for licki but your closest would probably be greedent

Snorlax or Munchlax may work too if you have those

@@carltonsimmonsjr.5607 what moves do I want on snorlax? I have a shows snorlax which could be level up

@@mr.wiiick2772 Body slam is a must Secondary could be superpower, earthquake, or outrage.

@@carltonsimmonsjr.5607 thank you sir

Sounds like a fun team you are using! I actually put together this team at the very beginning of the season myself, so if others are running it too then that’s new to me :)

@@bobbyrdayton9866 lmao! Steelix and Vict are 2 of the most faceroll great league mons..

So what do you do against an Annihilape lead? Just top left?

@@jeremykops why would I top left? Just do what I can n 50% win 50% lose depends how the person plays...every team has weaknesses

@@BIGn8000 steelix with electric fast move? Definitely not
