Larry's team being a mix of his Gym team and his Elite 4 team, leading up to Staraptor which is both Normal and Flying, is actually genius team design.
Too bad there could have been more potential for this team. Porygon z, dragonite the normal looking dragon. Cyclizar, hisuian zoroark. Sigh the potential. I love his team I just wish more for the people’s champion to merge flying, normal, and potential
Most of the elite four only added one Pokémon for their missing spot. Larry mixed it up by mixing his Elite Four and Gym team. And as everyone noticed. Geeta finally changed her team for the better.
Still 9 years old and being a strong trainer with just one type. Not bad though her team could use another rework cause you know steel types. Empoleon and metagross are my favorites of steel types
I've seen that talked about with that Version of the game, sorry for being so not educated but is Roman dialect there considered like "informal" or "odd?" In some way?
Geeta has now been given the Top Champion battle she deserves. Now sending out Glimmora FIRST and Kingambit LAST, thereby maximizing the use of their respective abilities, and Kingambit's Tera Flying now intelligently used to remove it's natural 4x Fighting weakness. So happy to see Geeta finally done proper justice
from my pov hassel using the normal training theme for his rematch is valid cuz i swear first time fighting him during the champion assignment i was like: MAN THIS DUDE IS MY ART TEACHER AND NOW I HAVE TO FIGHT HIM? man is way too normal and chill to be an elite 4 theres no way ;w; also art class in the game is my fave ones cuz screw the other subjects
Wow...they actually fixed much of what people hated about Geeta's team. She led with Glimmora and made Kingambit her ace! Was hoping they swapped out the Avalugg, but the Dragapult and Chesnaught were welcome changes. She's finally got a Pseudo-Legendary like many Champions tend to have! And it's so sweet to see cute little Poppy with a Champion-level team. She can succeed Geeta as Paldea's Top Champion in no time with how hard she trains her team!
Geeta was definetly holding back in the official Paldean league match I'm assuming it's in order to realistically organise a league of champion ranked trainers it's nice to know pokemon listened to the fans for once and fixed her team
@@Tuturial464to be fair, the things she does with avalug made it probably her best option as an ice type, its supposed to be a wall that'll flatten you with moves like body press and heavy slam
@@makinyoumad9498 there is a difference between holding back and handycapping yourself. A handycap is usually the better way to go against weaker opponents when you want to make it more fair, because many people are not that good at finding a sweet spot of how hard they should go.
@@ivannatinkle8196In the end, there were better ice types like baxcalibur or even something like weavile or mammoswine you know since pure ice has many weaknesses even its defense not special defense can manage
GEETA SENT OUT GLIMMORA FIRST, SHE LEARNED! LET'S GOOOO! It would be quite funny if Kingambit was always meant to be her ace and Glimmora being last was some kind of weird bug
I like how this symbolises Larry’s change and acceptance towards flying types. Like sometimes it is fine to stray from your comfort zone. Mix comfort with some challenge, mix it with appreciating different approaches to life. It represents him understanding why Geeta forced him to use a flying team, as a way to stray from familiar paths. He takes her intent to heart by actually using them in his team willingly showing that he accepts change. His team represents his love for normalcy and his pride in being normal, and his acceptance with the changes that comes with flying soaring above. It also does a good job making him be the common Normal/Flying type but it in human form. It’s him accepting his E4 role. It is fine to stray and stay with the familiar but never over do it on both sides.
Hmm, weird. I have seen a LOT of comments from other videos saying that you can’t fight Rika or Poppy in the dlc, I guess most players have not figured out how to yet?
@@jonarhax3388 Drayden’s got white hair and a beard when we see him in BW, so he could’ve easily had a kid by then. I wonder if we’ll see Drayden’s kid in the inevitable BW remakes.
@@GalaxyYuroPlayzthat’s the anime, a pikachu somehow won the tournament. Nonsense is supposed to happen. Though having multiple weaknesses to steel, ground, fairy, ghost, and ice isn’t exactly good.
Though I see how trace is weak. Generation 1 had issues. And almost no trainer in the elite 4 have shared a Pokémon with champion trace. Yet other trainers still share pokemon with said elite four. There is something wrong with that
I am so glad you can rematch the Elite Four but … why did they have to keep their shitty Pokémon instead of changing them? Dugtrio? Donphan? Whiscash? Rika is the worst member of all Elite Fours I have ever seen. Why not give them more variety? Give her Golurk, Mamoswine, Rhyperior or something like that.
It’s kind of disappointing that the elite four of certain regions could have used more Pokémon native to their region. Like kalos, aLola in ultra sun and moon, and paleda. There were some great ones for each of the elite four to use. At least two because there were not a lot of paldean specific pokemon Okay only new ground type was clodsire and toadscruel that isn’t paradox or legendary… weird for the mushroom Steel type has orthosworn, revaroom, kingambit, and gholdengo Flying has killowatteral, flamigo and bombirder… Dragon has cyclizar, tatsugiri, and baxcalibur. Sigh and there are still great Pokémon from the paldean and dlc Pokédex. Hopefully we get another update but it’s unlikely though not impossible
Hassel who feel concern about the others and their lifes are simply beautiful to watch. I think after the blame he took Drayton will be more careful about his studies. Drayden should be reassure Hassel is a person you won't contest or annoy so Drayton will obey like a good boy. Rika having a Torterra...that's a good adding for her team just like Geeta having a Chesnaught is interesting
I agree, but at the same time the league in paldea is more of a "testing center" and traditionally if you pass a test you don't take it again, which is why there were no rematches in the main game. The whole game is centered around student life at presumably a private academy of sorts; explains away alot of what people complain about in regards to customization, the league, champion being a rank and not a title etc.
@@dariusmichel4435they could have made like a battle tower like facility, or incorporate the gym leaders and elite 4 into the ace academy tournament with 6 Pokémon
I can see now why corviknight is good this thing survived 3 knock off with its iron defense and you both had a 20 level gap too and he almost one shot you only if he had a crit meawscarada would be fainted now
Normal people in single battles; Hazards and brute force, meanwhile me; Intelligence Normal people in double battles: Hazards and intelligence, meanwhile me; BRUTE MOTHER FLIPPIN FORCE BEOTCHS!!!
For what is suppose to be an elite four rematch, it absolutly sucks thay they give the regular trainer battle theme to Hassel when all the other members (except Larry who has the gym leader theme but its actually normal since he rematch you with his normal type team) has the Paldean Elite 4 theme. That means that you fight Hassel as an instructor which makes no sense at all for me. Yes he is a teacher in the first place but when you battle him, he's suppose to be an elite 4 member damn it.
OK, I'm glad this DLC managed to somewhat redeem Geeta's team by making Glimmora her lead Pokémon and Kingambit her Ace. Y'know, a team comp that actually MAKES SENSE!
why the hell did the player used roost five times straight after doing dragon dance when geeta was completely cornered with her flying-tera kingambit just using kowtow cleave ? so many questions
Poor Volcarona, Stone age of Tauros in red life. Critical hit whit Gem power of Glimmora, this should be heart so much, was not his day :( I like the teams... I want challege them whit muy own Monotype :) I like the referece of Lawrence, of his work whit Normal type gym leader
I know that Kingambit is better competitively, but I still think that Glimora is more of an ace when it comes to matching the trainer's style, but that's just my opinion.
Just make it a reality without the illegal mods for regular people gaming. And include gym leaders in ace academy tournament and set like I dunno regular hard, challenge, and set 100 lv battles or something like that and give each trainer rotations and new movesets
I am delighted that we can have a rematch with Geeta this is what I would have liked her team to be Glimmora Espathra Palafin Baxcalibur Ceruledge Kingambit
Palafin over Veluza is something I theorized (although I put it in the lead spot to Flip Turn into Glimmora) but I think Drag instead of Bax is fine so it doesn't overlap with Hassel's team. Chesnaught is definitely a cool addition, it's just sad that no boss fight had the superhero dolphin.
People really be using level 100 fully trained pokemons and some even legendary against an npc with level 80 mid Pokémon Funny enough some of Then are the same that say the game is easy and boring poses no challenge
@@makinyoumad9498 yup, she just wanted to play nice with us before, but she still never said she's going easy on us. Which is what happened in this DLC, she never went easy.
Mixeli: *tried to exploit his own weakness instead of his opponent and failed so hard, ending up massacred his opponent due to being max leveled Explains a lot about your IQ, Mixeli. Poor young adult here, probably bumped his head in his childhood
@@f.fontan4932 It’s okay! But honestly since all Champions have differences in treatment by TPC across their anime, manga and MastersEX versions it’s a little more complicated to rank their strength than what happens in gameplay
Though in the game, diantha would be weak and the anime has some unreasonable moments like a pikachu somehow out electrify an electrivire. You know motor drive
There’s a separation between lore and gameplay. In lore, Diantha is strong. In gameplay, there’s many reasons why her fight is underwhelming, many of which are just parts of the game she’s in. Most Champions would be easier if fought in XY.
