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 is open great league and the Hisui Cup. The Hisui Cup is a 1500cp league with pokemon from the Pokemon Legends: Arceus Pokedex.
In this video I go over what turned to be 3 teams in the hisui cup because Niantic messed up like they always do.

I just used an elite TM too. So annoying
Now it make since I’m Home Slice Henry Video he kept seeing Basti am Drifblim! Lol man that was fun to watch! Also it seems that Shadow Empolion is meda now! That thing took down a Basti like nothing!
PS: I have 21 ready to go in this meta… am a bunch that I can build for it, but I don't know if I want to! LOL
I'm glad they updated it. Goodbye great league meta Lickitung, Gligar, Mantine, Umbreon. Hello Toxicroak, Lucario, Empoleon, Frosslass, Gastrodon, Bronzong. It's different and how special cups should be. However I agree they've screwed over content creators massively
I got a shadow Tentacool just after midnight and it was actually a really good iv one so I evolved it and built it up and boy oh boy was it fun in the GL. Poison jab, acid spray and scold are a powerful combo
I hate every meta that creators make. Can’t just have cool Pokémon you like and build a rounded team and have fun. Just to see god damn registeel, shadow dragonite, azumirils, steel bird fuck and gligars.
Curious about your thoughts on purugly. I have a purified w return/thunder.
I've had moderate luck w it.
I only have a few of the pokemon actually eligible built. I got Empoleon, Gliscor, Froslass, Drifblim, Lopunny, Roserade, Toxicroak, Bronzong, and a few others. Nothing to really choose from. I was excited about this cause I have a lot of Sinnoh pokemon built and wanted to try it. So now it's even more limited but I have crap to build teams around unless I want to waste a bunch of dust building new stuff. And they're doing this right before catch cup? And they expect us to build new stuff for that too. No thanks… I'll probably just be doing open GL which I didn't plan on doing anyways… and pvpoke still has the meta we thought it was going to be so it's impossible for us to even build teams around the meta it actually is without just guessing what we think will be okay. Like idek what's all actually eligible because I don't have all that crap built already. This is one of the dumbest and misleading things they've ever done with GBL and it shows their legitimate neglect and just over-all non-concern for it and the people who enjoy it altogether. This is a load of crap. I thought it was a bug at first and they'd update it today but nope. They just don't give a crap about us at all. Keep reaching for our pockets with countless paid events that are dumb and un-enjoyable then they do this. GBL is the sole reason I haven't just walked away from this game completely. End rant I suppose but wth man
What attacks do you have on the first team that you using?
What are your thoughts on a no xl Pokémon or a shadow only limited meta lol
Basti cup lol
Tried a set and there’s 4 basti out of 5 and dropped from 2600 to 2550
nice work bro. been waiting for an update
i was holding onto a good IV GL gastrodon for months in anticipation for hisui cups and was bummed when i heard the cup was basically going to be sinnoh+, thought it was gonna be a waste of investment. them changing it last minute SUCKED but atleast i get to use my gastrodon now (its ridiculously overpowered in this meta)
I seen mass drifblim
It’s shitty that they changed their mind but I actually much prefer this cup setting, seems a lot more fun than what it would have been
Sweet battles. Side note I used shadow gallade. It did really well leaf blade for swampert whiscash poliwrath. Confusion for poliwrath clodsire. Close combat took out like a 60 percent health talon flame
I’m pretty new to the game. Built up certain based on those ranking. Pretty disappointing it was a waste of time although can be used in the Great League, just wouldn’t have wasted the stardust.
I have a hundo pachirisu it doesn't even hit 1400cp
I had only two built pokemon for this league and I'm not putting dust into something I'm not gonna use again
¯_(ツ)_/¯
This cup seems miserable AF! Back to Great League I go 🤷♂️
My shiny lickilicky with shadow ball is performing well. Great against all the ghosts and psychics and neutral body slam spam against toxicroak, gliscor, gastrodon, etc.
It's insane to me that Niantic was probably fully aware that loads of people spent tons of resources on Pokemon for the previous version of Hisui Cup, yet give absolutely such zero fucks about their community that instead of just saying fuck it and accepting their mistake this time around, they actually felt the need to change it anyway. Unreal.
Played some sets with hisuian Electrode, drifblim and bastiodon, and this team was actually fun to use!
I always admire the fact that you put out content. While balancing a full-time job and two kids. Being a father myself who enjoys the game, in majority of your videos, you always bring up your duties as a father which is so amazing.
My son and I love playing together and I always enjoy watching your content. Love from New Zealand brother.
Alternative to Empeleon in team 3?
Haven’t given them a dime in years
Yeah. I spent over half a million in stardust, used TWO Elite TM, and spent all this week specifically building a team to find out all 3 Pokémon were unknowingly banned
Personally I like this better than what it was originally going to be. I'm tired of seeing Gligar. Currently running a team of Probopass, Electrode, and Drifblim, which has been working well so far around veteran elo.
Toxicroak, Munchlax, Empolean
Been using Shadow Magnezon/Frosglass/Infernape and ivei have been seeing emploeon/toxicroak before this video came out
Would it be possible for you to do a "side"/secondary video showing us your pokemon storage? With IVs, how much stardust did you spent or smt like that? Since I'm new to pvp, i dont know much about the early seasons metas (until season 15 i guess). I would love that
Question for Ultra league ??? Is it better to have a XL pokemon with not so good iv or a pokemon with good iv with out the XL. It's what I'm working with for the time being.
They definitely messed up big time but i think the original sinnoh hisui cup is better off without all of the meta open great league pokemon
Can someone confirm for me if I am going crazy. I just played the Hisui cup and ran into a poliwrath and a whishcash, which I thought weren't allowed. I even checked to make sure I didn't go into the great league by accident. Has something like this happened to anyone else?
i clicked the league and saw 2 pokemon available out of like 200 great leaguers I've got. luckily normal league is there.
Those trams dont have a good time vs gasrodon and its everywhere
This is why everyone's moving to Palworld and Genshin/HSR lol
Thx. On point. Good analysis and thinking. Appreciate it. ❤
I have every single Pokémon allowed at 1400-1500 and now I can only use 11 of them and they fucking suck
