New series. In this series I go over the history of pokemon including their meta relevance in GBL. In the series I will go over important information like stats, moveset, and typings; what seasons the pokemon were relevant in and why; and how to team build with the pokemon.

This channel is where you come if you want ideas for:
Great League Teams
Ultra League Teams
Master League Teams
Beyond the Hype. I created this series as there is a lot of click bait and false impressions of pokemon and I want to give you a real in depth analysis of whether a pokemon is worth spending dust and candies on.
This week it is great league remix and master league.

High Jump Kick is coming to the game. It'd be nice for some fighters to get it for more relevance like the hitmons.
You seem like you're feeling better! Thank you for pushing the content through even when you don't feel at your 100%. You're the man Dan!
Bring swiss army Hypno (especially shadow of course) back into a solid anti-meta role by making psyshock a rock slide clone (+ 5dmg from its current state). Would make farm downs easier against meta threats like the fighters while giving it slightly better neutral matchups. Doesn't break Meloetta in master league so I think this minor change could be good.
I'd hope some of the bad fast moves get reworked. there are so many great moves wasted on bad fast move mons.
They just need to FOCUS on fixing the state of GBL. Frame drops are affecting too many matches as well as “new mechanic” with charge move being a coin flip if you get to throw it or not
I think they should get Scald to 30 or 12 % instead. I dont think they should nerf it to much couss I think its important that it could fight back Scarmory. I we want to nerf Annailape I think they should make nightslash an Icepunch clone with the boost chans so its still is some of those trickyer moves. But as HSH said, it dosent need a nerf IMO.
You struggled finding a way to reasonably nerf Annihilape.. IMO, just remove ice punch.
Fighters with rock/ice moves is cheese imo.
Rock is a bit more balanced, because you still cover flying, but mostly everything else is already covered by your fighting moves. But ice moves on a fighter has always felt excessive to me, even in mainline games
It’s annoying to me that I still don’t have a Tropius. Hit legend twice in GBL 2021-2022. Quit playing for a couple years. Came back this season. As somebody coming back – annihilape is a high ranking like GL registeel that maybe doesn’t reflect how balanced it truly is. Gligar, Whiscash, and Poliwrath are way more oppressive imo. Anyway… I hope they release Tropius as a limited regional again. Also hope they offer another chance to get Giratina-O. I traded for three of them and got a 1458, 1462, and one over 1500. Stop gatekeeping meta relevant pokemon, Niantic. Please… I do like that they fixed the fast move problem so counting is actually the most relevant aspect of being a top player.
10:48 Annihilape is now Medicham 2.0
Air Slash does need a buff. Scald is fine the problem is Poliwrath should have not gotten icy wind. Tenta needs scald just the way it is. EQ needs back it's prestige.
They need to fix the elo system. If you go 3-2 you go up 15 elo but if you go 2-3 you lose 17 elo. How does that make sense?
If they nerf scald give Tenta ice beam… About time
With this being my second gbl season I’ve managed to hit veteran last season I was at 2000. I just wanna say thanks for the guides and the content you push out, I learn a lot. I finished at 2,019 last season and am currently sitting at 2,542. With a few weeks left to go I can definitely see the improvement. So again Thank you!! I’m looking forward to next season and see how car I can go.
MAKE RAYQUAZA VIABLE IN GBL AGAIN
You forgot to mention that annihilape is also weak to fairy! Buffing certain fairy types could be healthy for this meta (excluding charmers)
Give Emolga Fly as Acrobatics takes too long and it so very squishy. Give Golbat a flying move for STAB coverage, it is also squishy so it wont be OP. Also Tropius buff is fine as it has a bad typing. Careful though with Air Slash buff to not make Skarmory even more overpowered (steel is very bad offensively, flying would be better).
Prediction: they nerf the thing that everyone is crying about right now… this time it's scald, and then buff something else that everyone will cry about for the entire season. Same as every other season 🤣
Give more flyers the move fly, and that would help with the meta (s).
Golbat and staraptor need Arial ace
Whimsicott needs a buff too
Watch them fix all the lag and server issues by turning off like all graphics till the game looks like the battle training mode on pvpoke lol
Pvp needed a revamp way back when an now were all just dealing with the crap that comes with Niantic not fixing it the next season so we go on all season with stupid lag issues an frame drops that cost players matches. Its lazy an dumb by Niantic we've been sayin for seasons now fix GBL 🤬 !!!
I Stopped playing pvp, and only open and send gifts for friendship. I didn't think it would actually happen but it has 😮
I'd love to see them nerf both scald and hydro cannon in the same sweep. Completely push waters down in every meta and see what happens.
why cant they nerf a pokemon’s stats instead of the moves
Give Azu Icy Wind
Gligar is already everywhere, rebuff sky attack
Scald needs a buff
Give Mandibuzz wing attack 🤷♂️
Only nerf should be scaled debuff percentage.
Fast move damge buffs:
Grass, to Nerf water
Fire, to nerf grass
Ice, to nerf ground/flyers.
Fairy, to nerf fighters/dragons.
Charge move damage buffs:
Rock, to nerf flyers.
ground, to nerf fire/steel
bug, nerf psychics
air, to nerf fighters.
Aim these buffs at Glass Cannon pokemon.
I see too many bulky pokemon teams that take 5 minutes to beat/lose too.
I agree you cant nerf Counter due to what it effects, but same could be said with Sky Attack and Breaking Swipe. The only thing for sure is Niantic dont test their changes and we the players have to deal with the BS..
But i dont think Angry Ape needs nerfing. It easily gets shut down by any charm or confusion user, mandi, Feraligatr and any Shadow Claw user…but if it must happen then i think you buff Confusion..give it the same EPT as Incinerate and doing so wont exactly destroy or majorly shit the meta
Nah I've heard they are going to fix everything and start us on 2999 elo
I will never forgive Niantic for giving steelix breaking swipe and essentially nuking both rayquaza and Haxorus, this is why we can’t have nice things
I would also consider the fact that we’ve always had theme cups for gbl and after a certain period of time they try to introduce to UL format. For example Halloweed cup UL edition and weather cup UL. Maybe we get summer cup UL. Or some other cups later this year that haven’t been seen in the UL yet. Just a thought.
Too bad we won’t ever see themed ML cups. That would be crazy!
Confusion buff
Im sorry but you talk too slow and sound stupid, maybe write a script so your video is more watchable
What about a Hex buff? I feel like a lot of interesting core breakers like jellicent and drifblim would benefit.
You know Scald is messed up when Scald is better than Legacy move Oblivion Wing for Yvetal just looking at the numbers alone.
Give wing attack to crobat in ultra league, It changes quite a lot of its stuff , especially it's win-loss statistics
I think there are more ways to nerf pokemon than move updates. Medicham would have been nerfed because of the presence of annihilape or if they added mimikyu. more pokemon being added or buffed can decrease the strength of top meta pokemon. Look at swampert for example. I wish Psychic nerf was reverted
