Pro Tips and Strategy to Help You IMPROVE Your Gameplay!! | Great League 

Just wanted to clarify these are definitely Great League battles haha. I accidentally left the Ultra League symbol there and didn't realize until after recording. Also, sorry about the excessively long intro 😂😂 I think I've got it all out of my system now. Hope you guys enjoy the video!

It is your channel, you do what you want. I don’t care if you tank at all, if you’re having fun, that’s all that matters man. It’s too bad that people are bashing you out. I love it when you showcase spice and get some amazing (sometimes improbable) wins. It goes to show the huge skill gap, which is why you are one of THE BEST PvP content creators tbh. You deserve more recognition!

I literally only subscribed because of the metal and spicy plays, you've found your niche bro nw

I always feel a surge of power rushing through me to go and delete opponents after I watch these videos. Thank you for the great content brother! Always do whatever makes you happy, it's your channel and your content - don't let some random troll on here get in your head and just keep doing what you're doing, everyone in the comments knows how much you are KILLING it rn, keep it up goat!

I played a huge amount of legends when I was at 2600-2700. I never complained about that, I just saw that as tests to see if I’m worthy of hitting legend or not. I win some I lose some. It’s all part of the game. I respect you and your commitment to spice. 👍

As a fellow hardcore fan I appreciate your rant on developing your channel with what you enjoy. You tend to attract viewers with similar interests. That should be the goal imo. Keep up the good work bro

I love your channel not only about the in-depth analysis but also the spice you have been bringing to us. You are absolutely right, its your game and you play it the way you want. Running spice takes risk but at the end you have the fun, the elo tanking is inevitable but it doesnt matter since it just doesnt harm anyone. Ignore the hater and enjoy yourself. Sending love and support 💫🙌

Amazing video Nerds and always play as you feel like and enjoy the game, GGs.

I appreciate you being sincere and honest in who you are and what you love to do. BTW you're the only PoGo content creator with metal music, so hell yea!

Definitely love the channel man its by far one of my favs for sure keep it up man!!!

Love the content keep it up. The music is awesome 🤘 be yourself and don't change for anyone. 🤘

Fun team AL. Love the in depth look at the game play as always. Love the poliwrath sub. Do you think Greninja could serve the same role on that team? Also, stay true to yourself brother. I look forward to your vids and battle submissions you get from other trainers. Any one who wants to try and pick a fight in the comments section needs to take a chill pill. You run the teams you want because you’re a legit top notch content creator. Not because you want to gatekeep or tank for stardust. Geeez I need a cup of coffee, I have a headache.

Pokemon go and Shadow of Intent? Wish I discovered your channel sooner, never clicked subscribe faster 🤘

That's you so much for these. I think I started playing a year ago and you were just getting started with your channel. I hit legend this this season for the 1st time and I def have you to than as a part of that!!

man said just get better 🤣 loved that

Great take on tanking. You have to beat the best to be the best. I have no problems with that. Edit: And great take on keeping your channel authentic to you. Mad respect Nerd

Oh well, metal music goes with battling. Many times boss music in games is rock/metal. So keep going with it!

Wow so good move counting, i really like your efforts man, i just started playing pokemongo in last September 2022 played a lot of battles mostly lost, some wins. But never find out such a good pokemon go pvp channel which teaches everyone move counting, energy timings and baits so perfectly i wish i could find this channel earlier💚✌️, anyways ggs for those ❤️‍🔥 battles id definitely like to recommend my Indian Pokemon go friends to watch your pvp videos.😊 Lots of love from your new Subscriber from India 🇮🇳 ❤

In regards to your rant, the initial reason I subscribed to you was that I saw your spicy battles featured on CallumOnToast's channel and was super impressed. The dude that complained about you is most likely same person that sent me a Compliment on Yelp to let me know they were offended by my word choice for a review I did of a Thai restaurant.

Nerd, you're the freaking man. Don't bother with haters, they're just insecure

Top tips from a top.towr player !

I don’t like metal music at all, but I love you style of teaching and your gameplay so I’ll be sticking around

Don’t worry about the haters! Play the game how you want to play it. I never understand why people care about how others play the game (other than cheating obv). Keep on being one of the best pogo pvp content creators!

Hell yeah!

I’m a metal head!!! Love it!

Your honesty, wholesomeness and just you being very sincere is what I really like about you. The metal is a very nice bonus. Hardcore metal runs through and through my blood but I can pretty much tolerate just any genre. Finding your channel and watching your commentary has really motivated and helped me to become better at pvp. You and Jamiefin1415 are my favourite pvp channels out there.

18:57 ooops opponent wasn't expecting this boom 😅🤯💥

its ur life bro live it for u

31-4 run for me in UL with Pidgeot/Cobalion and Virizion Pidgeot is like DD in the lead. I’ve learned it is so flexible and people miss out when they go straight FD in the lead rather than BBirding and dipping. I’ve one shot so many Charizard leads because people thought the FD was coming. I play it that way because you either get major damage or take shields Watching how you play with DD in the lead and practicing with it myself has helped me with Pidgeot usage

❤❤❤

"Just get better at the game." I can feel the burn.

Love the metal videos

Definitly enjoy the noise in the background. Not sure how the rules are but im guessing you cant use basically popular music. Or do you have to just add an extra EEEEOoh, like on gutair hero back in the day. Anyway doyou like hardcore or just melodic? Check out "the banner". Great band. Are you doing these breakdowns in real time, or do you do it while watching it back??? I could see how thats great practice. Kinda of like learning to get better at something by teaching someone else how to do it.

Keep it up bro, you are great and dont listen to dumb people

I don’t like metal but I still watch your videos from time to time

For more perspective on what Yiu said at the beginning. Today I did a 5-0 set where 3 battlers were Experts (this was the 2300s). Just because someone fell doesn’t mean they were trying to. I’m pretty sure those Experts I faced were very disappointed in not getting Legend yet.

Hey bro, is shadow ball an elite move on noctowl? Or it can be learn through regular TM?

Appreciate the tips. I find recognizing win cons for myself and the opponent in the moment challenging. I'm just getting used to throwing on good timing and trying to work in keeping track of opponent energy as the next step. EDIT: Swampert wins CMP over Poliwrath

shadow of intent yessssirrr

Do you ever run master leauge? I'm just curious. it's my favorite league. Keep up the great work!

Hi Nerds Rising. I just wanna say the emblem is in Ultra league. I got confused a bit. Anyways, love the vids you are making.

Aslash is an interresting safe swap lol. Its either going to really work or really not. I might make a team with that as the plan but not a "safe" swap. Like use it as the counter to what youve lost the lead to...swamp or now froakie proabably works better for that idea.

Love your content, man! I never mind playing legends in the lower ranks, I actually think it's exciting. But I will say, I played someone who hit legend already this season in the 2600s the other day who was running a fast move beat down team and it was kind of annoying to me. It wasn't even a spicy fast move beat down team. It's like at that point why are you even playing the game, you already hit legend just have fun.

Bro I would watch your videos even if there was no gameplay just so I could hear your rants 🤣🤣

Want to run charizard in great league any accessible team for zard

“That’s on you, not me.” 😂😭

No one likes losing to spice but if he wasn’t hard countered by your spice, that’s on him. I like playing Legend players in the 2600’s. It’s good practice to get better (even more so if they’re not running full spice).

i have no problem with tanking, even purposely, i saw someone running a hundo level 50 alolan vulpix and level 50 wooloo, tanked to 300 elo (the floor) and then went back to legend, absolutely wild stuff

Is There any substitude for sableye

Yoo savelye in the ul, oh, I just hit level 40 finally, got my shiny mew but yeah, finally, oh, great battles

Hey the metal was the reason I watched. I think it was In Flames and not to many play that like you said.

I'm at 3,265 running super meta and getting plenty of stardust, haters gonna hate

Keep doing you nerdz^

Haven't even watched the battles yet, just the long rant at the beginning but couldn't agree more with everything you're saying! Thinking legends are selfish for beating you because they've already achieved their goal whilst you're still pushing for your goal is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Do you expect them to give you a free win? Because that wouldn't work at all. Look at it this way, let's say you just hit legend & you're barely above 3000 elo. Next set you face 3 people in the high 2900s. If they all believe you should gift them a free win so that they can hit legend, you'll be guaranteed to lose elo, because you only faced 2 previous legends that set & can at most win 2 games. So you end up dropping more elo & big surprise, next set you now see 5 trainers in the high 2900s that all expect a free win. You give them all the free win & suddenly you're in the 2800s. What happens now? Most of the trainers you face won't have hit legend & you can literally do nothing but continuously lose elo because everyone's expecting you to give them a free win. They're expecting legend players to stop enjoying the game & playing the way they want to play so that it makes their climb slightly easier. They're the real selfish ones, thinking everyone should cater to how they want the game to be played, neglecting everyone else's experience. I'm also in a similar boat for the background music situation. I personally produced all the tracks I use in my videos & shorts because I wanted my content to be completely unique. I'm aware that not everyone is going to like the style of music I make, but that's just how it is. I get the occasional comment saying that they don't like my background music, telling me I should use other music, but I'm not going to do that. If they can't watch through a fun Pokemon GO video because of a song in the background that's barely audible, they're just being overly fussy & I don't care if they don't watch my content.

Honestly they could easily fix their rating system by implementing a floor. If you hit legend, make your floor 2900. Or, don’t let you drop 200 less than the highest you hit. The current system is set up to reward tanking on purpose so I can’t really blame anyone for doing it. That said, it IS a bummer when you’re trying to push elo and run into legends with spice teams that hard counter the team you’re grinding with, cuz you’re trying to hit 3 wins at least a set and the person you’re playing doesn’t care if they win a majority. Again, it’s set up in a way to reward that, so what can you do

Hey where r u from?

The sharpedo show case didnt go to well 😂 i am looking to send in a dedenne show case on the push to veteran. people surprisingly dont play that bad mabye i will send in 20/15 battles if thats sounds good

Silly to be upset at someone over a game, haha. I did however face a legend player at 2490 Elo, and they were using the basic Medicham/Lanturn/Noctowl

Altaria Gfisk ASlash got me 100+ elo.... to 2,200😅

Imagine losing to someone while they’re “tanking” and crying about it.

Not even that spicy tbh, you do you bro!

As I said ,person x is a loser, I’m a multi season legend you beat me with excadrill once, alignment obviously poor ,it happens ,I said gg and look forward to the next!

Friend! OMG, do not fret on the haters. It's a laughable situation. No biggie. But woooow, people really come after RU-vidrs. That stinks.

Minimize the intro just a bit haha

Tanking for dust!? What're you going to get 5:14 maybe 15k a day from your sets. Lol

Hey Niantic. Buff Nidoqueen again.

the game wasn't working very well this weekend anyway.

People really need to stop blaming things that they cant control, focus on what you can to be better not accusing people of gatekeeping lol

2nd!! But alerts were slow to be fair

Hey Nerd, Saw your comment previously about the stardust/easier wins/tanking. I know you’ve probably thought about this a lot already and it sounds like it hit a bit of a sore spot but seriously, don’t take these people seriously. I think the “just get better at the game” attitude is correct and losing the “respect” of some random moron on the internet is just part and parcel of publicising yourself on the internet. Am a relatively new subscriber to you but have been a fan. I did give you some grief in my first comment on the channel for being a bit “too nice” and not critical enough regarding your first “guess the ELO” video (sorry, should not have been so negative myself - terrible way to start off haha) but I think part of that is because I enjoy authenticity a lot. Sorry, massive rant on my behalf. In short, keep up the good work and seriously, don’t worry about the haters. People are bitter and people that play video games and take it too seriously to the point that they would send a hate message to someone over nothing are definitely not the kind of people you should be trying to appeal to.
