I TRIED A NEW STRATEGY AND GOT POSITIVE RESULTS IN THE ULTRA LEAGUE! | Pokémon GO Battle League 

Henry, I like the end of this video. Explaining more of your strategy and thought process, alternatives that can be tried, etc - good stuff! Keep doing that plz 👍🏻

I really enjoy how analytical you are in recognizing potential strats for victory, and also where you in fact have misplayed. It's so helpful in allowing battlers gain insight as to win conditions and improve their game.

7:25 You didn't get robbed of the new game mechanic. By my counts, the game functioned as intended because you hit 0HP on the same turn you tried firing your charge move. Damage registering gets higher priority than charge moves, so you need to have at least 1HP on the final turn of their fast move to fire a charge move. Here are the turn events in order, starting immediately after the Amphoros shield: Turn 1: Amphoros switches, Spark starts Turn 2: Spark damage registers, Icicle Spear starts Turn 3: Icicle Spear damage registers, Spark starts Turn 4: Spark damage registers, Icicle Spear starts Turn 5: Icicle Spear damage registers causing a faint, which takes priority over your charge move from firing

I love your commentary and all of the details that you provide. You're a great human and I appreciate you. I really liked these battles.

Bro is inventing the new meta

Loving the roles he made for the team. Tank and Double DPS is very frightening especially if your lead wins alot of neutral matchups like Umbreon. Just the insane amount of bulk and while being able to compete against other tanks and also having access to Psychic to surprise Fighting types like Virizion as where they shielded the second one. I honestly agree with the 2 Tanks + 1 DPS lineup like the video HSL made in the GL with Registeel + Medicham + Charizard. They just do their job by absorbing all the energy while being able to dishout and deal with many pokemons you dont want your backline to see. Great video HSL keep up the work! Should definitely do a Double Tank + DPS without the Charizard as a showcase to spotlight another pokemon.

As a 27 year old veteran Pokémon battler, In all my battles and few tournaments i went to, I always run full team sweepers. Not gonna lie, I tweaked the strategies a little bit but I never ran no tanks only sweepers and I have beaten incredible teams across my journey.

I’ve been doing this 😂 I use walrien as my Umbreon

Just slap a Registeel in the front, a Cresselia in the middle and an orbital cannon in the back and you're Good to go.

I used this strategy recently when GL was recently available with Cradily, S. Swampert, S. Zard (usually my sweeper, but not always). It's pretty weak to Medi and Dragon leads, but I still liked using it

Loving the education on style and process

Would love to see you try this team : Golisopod, Tyrantrum, Shadow Blaziken in the back

This team is Cool Similarly iam using Shadow swampert in the lead with 97iv shadow weavile with avalanche and Focus blast and Charizard in the back and honestly Shadow weavile one shots almost every flying type and ground type even a Focus blast deals over 90% heath of an umbreon and that is nuts , you should try it only concern for my team is tapufini or else 70% winrate climbed over 500 elo in past week you should try it once❤

Always love catching a new Holmesley Center video

My ultra league comp has almost always been venasuar lead with a rock and luxaray closer.😅 wish i had a shadow one....

So, I feel like I need to report on this: I’ve never been prominent with the Ultra League. But as of two weeks ago (I know, quite the while) , I’ve been running Nite on lead, Melmetal on safe and the Gengar in closing; mostly with 2 shields! I’ve been getting over on many trainers while also climbing! More importantly, this upload is fantastic. All of my fav mons eating!!!!!!!!

Man I'm so glad Robin Black found a new martial art to analyze. He's so good at it!

When the strategy was explained, my mind went directly to a Honchkrow since I dont have a Luxray.

Maybe my two glass commons could be double ghost with my rank 1 Shiny Cofagrigus and Gengar. That could be fun with a Walrein on the lead.

trying Xerneas and Yveltal with Geomancy and Oblivion Wing with Excadrill in Ultra League

Bro's the meta himself 😂

Before XLs were introduced shadow Exeggutor was my sweeper in UL. The recent nerf to Seed Bomb made it even worse :(

If you feel like playing some more shadow Luxray try Shadow Luxray lead with Sneasler and Cobalion in back. I played this team for Celestial Field in factions and loved it so much it’s the only UL team I play anymore.

I also got psychic by evolving my eevee into umbreon

These matches were tuff

I have 2 best buddy hundo umbreon - but only ~300 xls one has psychic and one has last resort - which should i power up first?

I'm always surprised whenever I'm reminded Shadow Luxray is like #3 on pvpoke😂 You just rarely see it

The best Pogo announcer in the community

Hey how did you tm frustration out of shadow luxray? Awesome video like always, thank you!

Because you are goated you can win with magikarp gimmighoul and ditto

Hold my beer, lemme try this with my rank 1 shadow manectric

I tried tanking for the first time and that worked

Lol this is how I always play. Pure attack, energy. Just like how I play MTG - Red Deck Wins. Straight fast attacking and don’t give the opponent a break.

Should try sneasler

Is a 12/15/15 umbreon good to raise for UL or does it have to be 15/14/15 or 15/15/15?

'two sweepers and a tank' has actually almost always been my go-to way to play (if not just three sweepers when i'm bored lol), and probably also why i hate playing this game sometimes. bulky mons with spammy charge moves are the most boring and braindead shit ever and practically everyone runs three of them

Not having a wing attack blast burn Zard always makes me feel so bad. Hopefully can TM one soon.

what other pokémon could u use with this strat?

Shadow Arcenine could work as well (as either of the swepers)

whats the 15/14/15 above the umbreon mean?

Finally a team I can actually use😂

This is a prime example of why I am so bored with Ultra League this season. Blast Burn / Wing Attack is on almost every team. It's just like you said Henry there's not much that can fight it, especially with 2 shields and preserving a 2 shield charizard is the strategy of the season. Why they did not nerf wing attack or blast burn this season is beyond me

Can we possibly see a lunala vid?

I'm having a rank 1 shadow luxray for ul So this is the right time to use it

nice to see unique teams, so tired of swampert, giratina, and walrein in the ultra league! nice work as always henry!

This is a new strategy? I literally play this all the time.

The prioritization of the charged moves over fast move dmg is so stupid. Why would they implement something they can’t even make work. Small indie company I guess

Like Number 1K 😂

team comp = ABA Feline

I think cres does better here 🙄

34 min ago and kinda early

Game broken 😢
