As someone who still needs a good gligar, I pray for weather that isn't sunny or windy where I'll be grinding. Otherwise I may have to drive until I see clouds
Leek Duck was listing some regionals, unowns and umbreon/espeon. Maractus, Corsola, Vullaby and Rockruff. Not sure if all the rockruffs will be dusk to make them special, or just a chance. I am just hoping to get a super tiny vullaby to evolve into a mandi to have one for open Little Cups, although it's redundant. I also need Marcatus for the dex filler.
I find it hard to believe they still haven’t released any potential event exclusive moves for evolving certain pokemon. There’s so many I need that I’ve been holding on to 😂
Mostly I watch videos through RU-vid app via Apple TV. If I’m making comments I’m not watching on the tv. I’m usually driving, passenger, walking, or on the toilet.
Can I submit a video? You can be as insulting as you want, started in December, was up to like 2200 until remix hit, now I'm down to 1850, and I am pretty clueless, could use advice even if it's angry or mean!
The fire punch on that Diggersby is probably for Ferrothorn. It has no real counters in this meta except fire. I've played Ferrothorn and/or Magcargo a ton this week to very fun results. along with Toxapex, Quags, Dratini, Mantine, Gligar, Umbreon, A-Nine.
Hi Dan! I submitted to you a team with the ferrothorn/charizard core and have been climbing consistently! Would be so happy if you could check them out! Thank you and good go fest to you!
Hey Dan! Everyone keeps saying Gligar should be banned (and possibly so) So, out of the 20 that are currently banned, which one would you replace with Gligar?
I wouldn’t call everyone “tryhards” that term is inaccurate. I think it’s better to use something like “long time battlers” or “seasoned trainers.” Either way still love your raw content.
I’d be veteran already if I didn’t get hard countered when I hit 2300. I swap teams then find another hard counter team. Do I just push through or keep adjusting for meta in different elo ranges?
Loving the content and learning a lot in my first 30 days of PoGo. I've made it to about 1750 elo and hovering in the middle of remix (read: skill issues). I love theorycrafting in all type of RPS kinds of games so GBL is great. A more technical question... Do you think its more important to simply use the highest rated pokemon I can find like sticking in 3 of the top 30 overalls, try to create balance, or strictly use the best PvP IV pokemon I have that I can power up without a bunch of XL candy and elite TMs?
Gligar can handle swamp shockingly. You survive a hydro even on a shadow gligar and then just keep farming and aerial acing Normally you can force out the swamp or worst case it’s a soft lose and you took their shields
4:23 gotta master that under charge and farm down to threaten a shield. That can be the difference of a win or a loss. Also have a healthier Regi if you do farm it down for when the hard counter comes out and possibly get another charge move off. If you’re lucky maybe shield and get two moves. Point being: learn your under charges to be really good with Regi. Everything is bulkier and needs the right strategy
Without a doubt the increasing availability of educational material on the game is improving the general playerbase. You also rightly pointed out that the shrinking playerbase is consolidating quite a bit of skill in these brackets. Five season ago, I'd have low Ace players throwing on alignment constantly. Now it's rare. I had a game in OGL rotation at 2050 where their licki and dragonair threw on perfect timing against my 3t/4t mons. Quite something. Climbing this season has been a struggle for me. Usually I'm in Vet by now, and I'm struggling through the 2200s.
Ok, I'm only halfway through but I firstly want to reassure you that I don't feel attacked, when you apologised for yelling and told me to take what you said and make it polite I had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard I couldn't see straight. So I'd like to apologise for the pain I have just caused you to experience in watching my matches. Now, my logic - I swap to the worse matchup because I don't want to KO their Gligar too quickly and be effectively locked into whatever they have in the back with my Froslass. It feels like sure, I take out one Pokemon in a good matchup, but in exchange they get to take out one Pokemon in a good matchup and they get the advantage of having more information about my team. If I make the matchup more neutral, I can win narrowly and keep switch, basically. ...is that not as smart as it feels? It's not, is it?
im way to bad at pvp to understand this breakdown lol, great league is the only league i really like to run. i have a lot of different mons but im not sure what to do in terms of a team/ stuck at like 1900 elo
As someone who only started PVP last year, id say sticking with the same team, regardless of the meta of the ELO you are in, is beneficial purely to learn the match ups..
i may be wrong, but i'd think even reaching ace makes you better than the majority of players. i'd honestly be surprised if more than 10% of the playerbase ever gets to veteran.
Hey Dan! Nice meeting and chatting with you on FRI in CP, and SAT at Randals. Niantic did alright with the park setup, but could have provided more shade and water stations due to the excessively hot weather. I was really satisfied with the shiny rates of the wild spawns, I got ~30 each day, encountering over 1K pokemon each day. I was disappointed with the raids as i did over 120 raids and walked away with only 2 shinies.
I tried Regi in the lead in remix but despite “winning” lots of leads, I just found it clunky and unable to get the job done. Against a shadow charm A9, you can win in the zero shields and come out with a move, but you’re in the red and can easily be farmed down so if you need a steel for multiple mons, it just doesn’t cut it. Also re the Aerodactyl, I saw another RU-vidr face one in the 2700s so not just a low rank thing apparently.
