Respect for that Umbreon running Psychic. Also it does not seem bad considering most people are running Poli/Ape as fighters so it can be a good play to bring it out and trap it with Psychic. Also resists ghost damage against Lickitung as well.
And gets it damage in Nido/Venusaur matches. I run it in both leagues and it’s constantly flipped the bout for me. Psychic/FP in GL and Psychic/DP in UL.
It's original purpose after all was to give it a chance of flipping the shadow machamp and toxi matchups. When XL medi came on the scene people forgot about that purpose but with medi mostly gone it still fills that purpose nicely.
In all honesty I would say Psychic is a pretty good option this season for GL but in UL probably Last Resort is better. The amount of Poliwrath and apes are just in almost so many matches and feels like a good way to trap them or take 2 shields which is a pretty decent trade.
Psychic has pretty much always been better because Last resort is such a trash move. You don't have close matches with umbreon, it's either a damage sponge that wins switch by spamming foul play or it dies barely denting the opponent.
@snooze5124 I have a shadow hundo ursa maxed out and it just feels so lackluster with tackle, I know at this point we probably won't get shadow claw, but counter would be perfect
12:00 this match at the end had my jaw DROPPED. Its so funny how the FB was shielded and you managed to get ANOTHER one off because of the timing on everything 😂
05:17 I don't think I've ever seen a single move do that much damage to an Umbreon. Like, a super effective Focus Blast from a Registeel doesn't even do that much, right? Insane. ETA: Also, I don't have a Salazzle, but you just inspired me to finally build the rank 32 Kommo-O I've been sitting on since 2022. Thanks Henry!
@HomeSliceHenry OH NO, don't go tellin dem secrets! I run Salazzle lead all the time and just love Fire Blasting opponents and/or baiting them with poison fang. I don't land the Fire Blast that often though, and I wonder if it's because at lower ELO people are more conservative, and at your upper echelon people just don't mess with Salazzles at all so they don't expect it.
@@nathanbegel4505 is it that rare? I hatched it in my first egg (its a 3* too) when it was first released, so I just figured they were boosted chances at the time.
@@shuckyducky5212 Yep super rare, I believe it's a 6% chance to get a salandit and only 25% chance to get a female one... Which means you have roughly a 1.5% chance to get a female salandit, so in avarge you'd need 67 eggs and walk 804kms to get 1, which doesn't even guarantee that you'll hit it at normal odds 😭
I run a similar less spicy team with lanturn lead and Charizard Talonflame back line, obviously things like swampert core breaks the team but the insane output damage from charizard and talonflame (I run brave bird on talonflame) make it possible to flip almost any matchup
I climbed from 2140 to 2618 with chesnaught, skeledirge, talonflame, over the last 5 days. Been running it for a while tho, since incinerate got buffed
