I ran Whiscash/Skeledirge/Talonflame at the end of last season, the worst thing about Incinerate for me was how inefficient farming was - opposing Pokemon on 1HP & you have to do another 5 turn move to KO it, often allowing them to get to a charge move
My favorite Pokemon🥲 Good thing I have 2 hundo typhlosions and 0 PvP IV/shadow🙄 Fun fact for you too: Charizard and Typhlosion have the exact same stats
Something you did you gloss over because it’s so natural for you, and you’re also starting to notice that viewer submitted videos DONT do it. I think it’s more advanced than you think, or at least not as common knowledge. In a battle with sandslash you had almost 2 moves, shields down for both, and they switch locked themselves into a charjabug. You instant swapped into gligar. This seems simple, but I would bet you a lot of us would have just thrown 2 moves and dumped our energy on sandslash instead. I would love to hear analysis on the little things like this. Great content!
Even in resisted situation if you're dealing with less bulky Pokemon you still have a play I remember a great league match where my darmataran nuked a greeninja
I did shadow ASlash/Serperior/shadow Typhlosion for one set and went 5-0. Definitely not a fan of the move mechanics for Typhlosion, but I was getting the hang of it towards the end. I can’t seem to get my hands on a good shadow Gligar….
Personally I think the spam is getting out of hand. When you feel unsafe as an azumarill against shadow typh because of the spam. The bulkiest water, against the glassiest fire. That says quite alot.
@@TGregerstyping should give you an advantage, it shouldn’t guarantee a win. No fun in being doomed just because by nothing but chance somebody has a more suiting typing against your mon.
@13:44 Dan embracing the tinfoil algorithm mindset ^_^ Happened to me last GL rotation. Hard countered with something 9/10 battles, switch to something else completely different, hard countered the next 5 matches. Log off for the night. Hope watching the old videos is still generating revenue!
Dan!!!!!! Can you visually represent when someone should throw their charged move on proper count?!? No one's doing that. They just verbally explain it!
i have been using your lickitung/skarmory/whiscash team but i am very bad at it usually do 3 out of 5 wins but can go less sometimes. Any tips on when to switch and use the shield Other team i use is S. A. ninetails/lickitung/lanturn that also is 50/50
Id just keep watching that video of his, he explains when and why he switches, shields, etc. That being said, stick to the one team, through wins and losses - you'll naturally learn what to do against certain match ups, and what opposing team comps are, based on lead
I would say that the lickitung skarmory whiscash is simply not a good team. It has the huge issue of not having a safe swap. I have a crazy team that got me to legend and even top 100 in the world. It may seem outlandish but here it is. Whimsicott talonflame skelederge. This an ABB team. How it works is every lead that is either neutral or negative you swap skelderge. You are likely to get countered by a water type but that is the point. You try to grab a sheild advantage. Odds are whatever just countered your skelederge gets walled by whimsicott. Now that the fire counter(usally a water type is out of the way your talonflame will be able to beat the two pokemon in the back far more times than not. The only issues for the team are mantine and bastidon but i have beaten dozens of both of those and won games. Just make sure to time the incinirates correctly and you will be winning 70% percent of games
Although a fun fact is that before the poison fang nerf salazale was the only pokemon to be able to reach a charge move in 5 turns or less as it could do it on the 4th poison fang. After the nerf however it is 10 turns to every poison fang.
New video idea: Icy Wind is the most toxic spam AND debuff in the game, but debuffs overall are out of hand. I had a miserable W/L day yesterday playing Pokemon who aren't even weak to Ice, but lost to Icy Wind over and over. By the end of the day I was running into double and triple debuff teams running every debuff. Poison Fang, Psychic Fang, Bubble Beam, everything. Or, tell me why I'm wrong and only losing to triple debuff teams because I suck at this, and please tell me how to beat them.
I'm not gonna sit here and pretend to have all the answers you seek, but I can give you this advice with great confidence: do your best not to waste shields on Bubblebeam; people are using that garage on both Mantine and Jelly.
Debuff moves can be pretty healthy, like on Rayquaza and Haxorus when they were given Breaking swipe allowing them to live a little more, but they can also be unhealthy like when Breaking Swipe was given to steelix
Last night I decided to take a break until next season. Was having so much fun with league turn over, goofy teams fun battles and then hit level 8 and bam, hit the meta wall. I can’t do this same grind against the same 6 Pokemon again after last season. How is this fun for anyone at this point? I can sit here and count without killing my phone battery. Maybe things will change next season and I’ll be back. Doubt it.
I appreciate it. Hate the fluff. Hate the click bait. Just give me the raw data and truth. Save me stardust, save me candies. If it’s not meta, it’s not meta. That’s not Dan’s fault. It’s Niantic’s.
This series deserves the POGO Medal saves so much time and dust for us average players

That's so annoying and it's so hard to catch moves using incinerate
If the trend keeps up, maybe Meganium gets buffed next season which means we might see a grass buff
That will be so good!!
This was a really great video. The last 5 minutes are first rate. Thank you
Shadow Typhlosion has been doing really well for me in the ultra premier. That may just be those week 1 matchups, though
Been goofin with chesnaught typhlosion and lokix this week
Have a rank 14 shadow with incinerate and a tank 29 shadow with shadow claw. Incinerate has been an underrated clutch in early ranks
My favorite Pokemon🥲 Good thing I have 2 hundo typhlosions and 0 PvP IV/shadow🙄 Fun fact for you too: Charizard and Typhlosion have the exact same stats
Com day coming up soon, but yeah I have a shadow hundo and that's my only shadow. Suckksss
yep, same goes for cyndaquil and charmander, quilava and charmeleon

Been goofin chesnaught, lokix, and typhlosion with these changes
S.Typhlosion really shines in UPL. Been using it and it hits basically everything. You beat S.Gator in the 2 shield scenario
Personally I think the spam is getting out of hand. When you feel unsafe as an azumarill against shadow typh because of the spam. The bulkiest water, against the glassiest fire. That says quite alot.
Another scary fact: when resisted incinerate make same dmg as high effective bubble, how does this compare to typings weakness/resistance??
It's just raw damage versus bulk. There comes a point where the damage and the bulk equalise. It's the unstoppable force and the immovable object.
@@sirsilco Sure, but this game is alot about typing. And soon typings wont matter.
@@TGregerstyping should give you an advantage, it shouldn’t guarantee a win. No fun in being doomed just because by nothing but chance somebody has a more suiting typing against your mon.
a meta mon is either spammy or bulky that’s just how it is
38 minutes later “is it meta… idk” great
Typhlosion may not become meta but that spice sure is nice. Victreebell dropped in two ncinerate. Ouch
Met 2 typhlosions up till now.. both deleted my hole backline with shielded twice 🤦🏻♂️
Skele....Typhlo finally getting some love.
“Good to know that the meta’s changed so much” 😂😂😂
Just FYI, based on the ads I'm getting on this video, the TH-cam algorithm may think this is Godzilla content.

Hits insanely hard, but is more glassy than salazzle

@@gnome2323 pelliper looking at this team like 👁👄👁
@@PaulwardP pelliper is basically extinct in this meta. I would say i see less than one a week. The bigger issue is mantine which simply outclasses it
Shadow typhlosion is great in ultra premier
Yes, but it needs shields. It’s so glassy
I felt the satisfaction while deleting wigglytuff and victreebell with incinerate. I hope peaople will stop playing that shitty team
Salazle takes 2 turns to reach poison fang
2 incinirates
Ten turns
That's what I was thinking as well
Although a fun fact is that before the poison fang nerf salazale was the only pokemon to be able to reach a charge move in 5 turns or less as it could do it on the 4th poison fang. After the nerf however it is 10 turns to every poison fang.
Appreciate it.
Plz test chesnaught. I like it
Lol and I just saw your chesnaught video and you talk about chesnaught now :)
Unfortunately I shot chesnaught before any move update so it is a previous video
@@DanOttawaPOGO ah then you don't kill skarmony in 2 shields :/

Nah. Debuff moves add another layer of strategy and depth. They’re good as they are.
Debuff moves can be pretty healthy, like on Rayquaza and Haxorus when they were given Breaking swipe allowing them to live a little more, but they can also be unhealthy like when Breaking Swipe was given to steelix

mudboy party against your team

you do you, it's actually pretty fun to me and they give me stardust, so win win for me 🐱🤙
I don't like this kind of content. I understand but let other content creators try to shake the meta up.... idk content creators do alot to the meta
