Just starting playing again after quitting in 2019, i was never a pvp player but after watching jonkos and lily and the world championship i always wanted to start but i was never knowledgeable that i never started so i very much appreciate the vid jonkos
I do this somewhat regularly and need to stop. I'll drop like 300 points cause I'm frustrated. I got stuck between 2300-2500 but now I'm just shy of expert
I dont like he mentions the importance of IVs that early because in fact a Mon with PvP IVs can perform way better than a Mon without PvP IVs for sure. But there are so many people out there who are taking it too serious and only trying to hunt for the rank 1 one. But let me tell you: Comparing 2 Mons with PvP IVs (eg rank 1 and rank 200) there are not a huge difference! The other points like fast move timing, energy management or catching charge move are way more important and can win you a lot more games!
This type of content would realy help me. Im playing PVP since 2021 and im hardstuck every season at 2600 elo then im losing a lot of games and balancing between 2400-2300...
I know that I need to get better at timing and learning the counts rather than just playing by feel. Sometimes I have a team that is doing really well, but then the meta changes.
Is 15 ATK mandatory for Master League?? I'm planning to touch my toes into ML, so don't know which IV meta Pokémon to power up and is lvl 50 mandatory or team composition is more important than lvl 50. Please share your guidance.
@@AustrianViolence But it's really hard to get Hundo of every Meta Legendary in the game, so it's not viable. Also, as per my knowledge CMP tie happens only when battling mirror Pokémon with same level as ours. CMP - Base Atk + Atk IV - Total Atk, if our total atk is higher than our opponent we will win CMP, so even if we don't have 15 Atk, but our base ATK is higher than opponent Pokémon (other than mirror) we will win CMP Tie. So in my Opinion not running 15 Atk is not that much of a downside, only problem happens when battling our mirror Pokémon which doesn't warrant having hundo for every ML Pokémon.
@@Phoenix_444 yes u r right u dont need hundos but 15 atk is very important - when u use meta pokemon u will have those mirrors :/ But its not the most important of course i also have a giratina with 14 atk which is very forgiving overall - but always when i encounter other giras with 15 atk maxed out i lose
@@AustrianViolence Yeah, encountering our mirror is the downside of not having 15 ATK. I got a 96% Yveltal from lucky trade yesterday, 14/15/14 should I max it out for Master League?
@@Phoenix_444 it depends on your personal preferences - if this is ur only yveltal - why not? This thing is so good in current meta and if u dont take it in the lead it still can be awesome as safe switch But dont forget maxing out is such a huge investment so u should be sure about it
Good luck and have fun to everyone who wants to try out gbl or wanted to get more serious into it. In my experience, the PoGo PvP community is very friendly and supportive. So if you have a question feel free to ask. :)
