Its a bit under appreciated - But, Zyonik is such a good battle shoutcaster - He can hold your attention throughout a battle which can't be said for the rest. Hope he kills more in the watchtimes😃
@SkullZStream totally agreed! Doing pvp for more than 5 years now and still no clue about the basics of the game mechanics 😂😂😂 but obviously his viewers are not smart enough to realize how Z sucks as a gamer 🤪
Lol that skarmory with flash cannon match.. energy ball was the lose con though, double resist vs acrobatics single. Acro wouldve taken the skar down. Tried this team and got an instant 5-0 with the sludge bomb drapion. GG
@@FISHFACEmatt”proper timing” refers to throwing a charge move at a time that maximizes your energy gain while minimizing theirs. Different fast moves have different turn durations and depending on both yours and their moves you can throw on certain counts that will allow you to min/max energy gained and allowed. I’d recommend checking out ItsAXN’s video series on charge move timing and you can also check out other content creators’ videos on move counting as well because you also want to throw towards the end of the opponent’s fast move animation. It def takes a while to master and I certainly have not lol
The other day i shielded a skarm flash cannon against my carbink after thinking hard about it and felt like i saw a ghost. Actually really love showing more losses in the vids, the learning opportunities feel really valuable!
One pokemon I've been loving is shadow meganium. It cleanly wins all evens vs clodsire straight frenzy plant while completely dominating all the mud boys. It has neutral play into malamar and the fighters and EQ coverage is great for steels and poisons. SS dewgong and toxapex to close. Note: the plan against a-slash is to lose, but I have stolen a few wins against a-slash teams since they're usually double weak to meganium in the back
I’ve just been using SB and Crunch due to a charged/elite charged TM shortage. I agree with you that just having SB has helped immensely. People just don’t see it coming.
I just tried this team and honestly I agree with you. Both matches were against lead Azumarill and they ended up swapping out at some point and it would've helped a lot to have Sludge Bomb when Drapiaon ended up vs Azumarill. I want to use Aurorus but this team didn't seem to be working well for me. One of the two team I battled had Mawile with Fire Fang which destroyed me completely
@@Zallen25 yeah seeing how fairy types are a lot more common now I just figured using SB made a lot more sense since you would otherwise be kinda walled by them especially against Azumarill but I also understand why you would need to run crunch instead
@zyonik awesome team suggestion that I'm sure you already thought of, but Shadow Gallade lead, Dewgong/Walrein safe swap, and Bastiodon closer. Been working really well for me so far.
also, regarding the sludge bomb talk: why not crunch SB? crunch in my opinion is too valuable to give up for the dark type coverage, especially against things like alolan Sandslash and Toxapex
@@ZyoniK with the Smack down nerf, I do expect there to be less of it. And as long as bastiodon isnt on aurorus, it should be fine as you can still Hit it neutrally with Crunch or Energy Ball
Maybe I'm not a good battler, but I got absolutely destroyed using this team by Steel, fire, and charmers esp. Alolan Ninetales 2-5 before I gave up although I did lag one loss, and I got a lot of good leads.
Man, I just tm'ed Acrobatics away from my Jumpluff. I kind of regret it so far, cause I've spent all my tms and couldn't get freaking AA. Niantic please fix this!
let's be real, you lost with the swap at 11:02. it's not the flash cannon that killed you, it was the lack of double super-effective and still recommended steel wing on skarmory that gave you false hope.

But while entertaining Zyonik has fallen quite far behind too other TH-camr in term of skill.
For even basic things like throwing on good timing... So frustrating to see when he throws on bad timing

That's what happens when you hardly don't the play game anymore
Popcorn ball do be cookin’

Loved that match. That’s the kind of stuff I really truly enjoy about battling
18:00 if you throw on proper timing here you make the weather ball!
Yeah it’s my weakness lol, everything else I have mastered.
Sorry, bit of a n00b here… but when you say ‘proper’ timing, what does that mean? And how does one go about learning it?

My dusty rusty zyonik it shows the absence in some battles but i see you are having fun thats enough to keep me watching
I actually use SB aqua tail Drapion myself and it has helped me a lot more than having to use crunch on it
I’ve just been using SB and Crunch due to a charged/elite charged TM shortage. I agree with you that just having SB has helped immensely. People just don’t see it coming.
If you use a shadow drape crunch and aqua tail usually still beats fairy

Drap is so good up a few poison stings
Galarian Weezing is a beast that you should try
So many ice teams, my Typhlosion was eating good ;D
Another awesome Team Z
Talonflam(Incinerate/FC,Fly),Jellicent(Bubble/SB,IB),Malamar(psywave/SP,FP) use this team for your next video I had great success with this team today
@zyonik awesome team suggestion that I'm sure you already thought of, but Shadow Gallade lead, Dewgong/Walrein safe swap, and Bastiodon closer. Been working really well for me so far.
The Flash Cannon Skarm was amusing.
@zyonik when will you make content for the 2500 league?
Will you do teams for Ultra League? I’m struggling to prepare for it coming up in a few days
I've been running sludge on Drapion since this season started. Only one losing set so far. Confirm you want sludge.
this takes me back to 2-3 years ago when i first started playing pvp. glad you're still cooking up vids!
With drapion u want sludge bomb crunch on the non shadow aqua tail ctunch on the shadow... never drop crunch it's a mistake
I’m trying to figure out why you threw energy ball at a skarmory when you had the acrobatics. Double resisted from a non shadow.
also, regarding the sludge bomb talk: why not crunch SB? crunch in my opinion is too valuable to give up for the dark type coverage, especially against things like alolan Sandslash and Toxapex
Such a tough toss up, because Bastiodon becomes a major threat without Aqua Tail.
@@ZyoniK with the Smack down nerf, I do expect there to be less of it. And as long as bastiodon isnt on aurorus, it should be fine as you can still Hit it neutrally with Crunch or Energy Ball
Yeah it’ll all come down to what your local elo bracket is running. Both variants of Drapion look good.
@@ZyoniK I Must admit that I had never thought of no crunch drapion but I can see it make sense especially in some limited metas
Drapion is such a zany mon to use. I run Ice Fang/Sludge Bomb on mine. Go figure.
What happens against steel types though
Wouldn't a low attack iv jumpluff be better than a hundo jumpluff?
Sometimes you just play with what you've got.
i think drapion with crunch and sludge bomb could be viable. no one is safe
Maybe I'm not a good battler, but I got absolutely destroyed using this team by Steel, fire, and charmers esp. Alolan Ninetales 2-5 before I gave up although I did lag one loss, and I got a lot of good leads.
Change Drapion for Swalot, you have to see LetMeCookGranny busting out Clod, Swamp and others with Stunk, Swalot and a normal tanky.
I’m curious
Why wouldn’t you run all Pokémon with perfect stats such as 15/15/15 or 3 stars? Thats all I store I transfer the rest
Less IVs less CP but higher level near 1500 so higher stats
@@an-yv6tc so confusing to me 😅😅

What we learned is....dunsparce lives!
I cant believe you energy ball'ed a skarmory

Meteor BOOM!
All the excitement for the new season and they flat out refuse to fix the problems with battling. So sad!!
Dope video 🔥💯
Are you actually running a perfect jumpluff or is that a mistake on the side? 😂
It’s a dust saver ok 😂
Sludge bomb aint that good rn ngl it always gets shielded for me
I always watch your videos and then I copy the teams, you’re my stardust’s worst nightmare.
You are so good ❤
Really nice video, however, a lot of bad timings.
600 Auer Inlet
Your drapion thoughts are similar to why I run earthquake on licky. Works really well on a slash and clod.
yup, good luck boom'n!
Hey Zyonik!
I've started gbl watching your vids and had great fun. Left the game for 3 years straight. But now, I want to start again... 😀
welcome back, hope you have fun in the new season!
Hmmmmm, ima try this
Meep
2nd?
The current 50 seconds watch meta actually punishes ABB formations. It's pathetic.
