A few quick thoughts. 1) Virizion can handle itself very well without its legacy move. The flexibility of leaf blade and stone edge gives great coverage for flyers, ghosts, fire. 2) In Master League most important is the 15 attack. I wouldn’t obsess over a hundo if there’s a 15/14/14 or even 15/14/13. Having played ML at legend elo without any hundos it more than got the job done (but if you’re studying break/bulk points and going for leaderboard, that’s a different story!)
Another excellent video. Learning the mechanics in PvP is important, but learning how best to gather resources outside of PvP is an underrated part of the game so thanks for bringing attention to it
he doesnt want to post these different videos on his main channel worrying that it could make the youtube algorithm not recommend his videos, so he tries to keep his main channel consistent
@elec06YT I only just discovered this channel after watching the main for years. The content here is really *chef's kiss*. Stupid YT with their stupid algorithms 🤣
Great Video, very informative. I would love to see a video explaining which Pokemon benefits from being best buddy (lv51) in the great and ultra league. Such as for Pokemon like carbink would you aim for the rank1 and best buddy or just aim for one that that hits 1500 at lv50
It would be a really nice quality of life thing if they let you set your trade floor with your best friends. I messed up a trade for a Spacial Rend Palkia because I thought I grabbed one of my auto lucky trade Pokemon and I was wrong. Now I have the Disgrace Palkia.
Thanks for the quality vid per always, HSH. My YT algorithm buff comment will be used to bitch about how inaccessible this damn game is. I've played since January 2019 and I still don't have a viable ML team thanks to the glorious BS that is the XL candy system. It's not a barrier to players who started in 2016 or who make money running YT channels, but for us mortals it's a death knell. I've got a lucky 98% Solgaleo that I'll probably never get to use. Thanks, Niantic.
I have a 15/15/14 Shadow Rhyperior with the legacy move Rock Wrecker. A level 50 hundo Zacian, complete Zygarde form, with 11/13/14 stats; it is insanely bulky!
So much Guzzlord disrespect. It has been a frequent pick in many of my GL/UL legend teams. I was expecting to see a mention of it in GL, and was surprised that it wasn't features while Malama and Miltank get a part in UL in spite of Inkay and Miltank spawning in the wild.
Finding someone to trade G Corsola with is gonna be next to impossible. I don’t even know how I would go about doing it since I only know a handful of people who play PoGo and are local, but they’re extremely casual and we are already Best Friends. Great video though. Super informative
1:48 - In regards to the optimal friendship level for trading "Galarian Corsola"; the "Zero Friendship"-level is only available for 1 trade, correct? If you make a trade, that counts as an interaction, and your friendship will jump up to the "Good" level immediately after, correct? Obtaining a 0/15/15 Galarian Corsola is extremely difficult; if you can only do 1 trade in hopes of achieving those IVs. Do you have recommendations for the next best IVs for "Good Friends"+?
Yeah, I just try to go for the best trades I can get with best friend trades. Everyone I know who plays I am already best friends with, lol. Also, we pretty much know Palkia and Dialga origin are never going to be able to have their special moves elite TMd, so that definitely makes the situation worse. I have a hundo origin Palkia without the move, so useless 😭
As a Free to Play player, I must say I don't really bother with the best IVs, as XL Pokémon take too much resources to power up. I'd rather a medium attack stat to make it cheaper. Also Hundos are so difficult to get! My ML Pokémon aren't Hundos.
Just fyi lucky trades are 1/64 for a hundo and you can force lucky trades if your pokemon are old enough 2019 or older i believe and i think theres around a 25-30 forced lucky trade limit
managed to get a 5/15/14 corsola from a best friend trade which is the 4th best. i doubt ill have anyone low enough friend willing to trade one anytime soon. this one seems to still beat shadow feraligatr so I'm down to build it
I tried to do a trade once with a zero-interaction friend and the game didn’t allow it. We needed one interaction before we could trade, so I don’t think it’s possible to get a 0 IV from a traded mon. ❤ your content Henry
Could you do a video on how much IVs ACTUALLY matter? The more time and effort I've spent trying to get the most optimal spreads, the more I suspect optimal spreads make way less of a difference than I thought...
You can do your own analysis. Go to pvpoke. Battle page, matrix. Put in a variety of iv spreads vs the meta for the league you want and it’ll break down the win loss differences. At times a higher attack than the rank 1 in GL will have more wins and that can be just because it wins CMP against lower attack versions of itself or it can make a significant difference, 3-5 more wins or ties, because of breakpoints. This won’t give the most in depth analysis for you but gives a rough idea. I always run a rank 1 which is typically 0 attack, a 2 attack, the standard pvpoke gives which is usually a 4 attack, and then a 6 attack for the matrix battles. This gives a quick breakdown of the difference it makes. If there is a higher win percentage for the 2 attack and 4 attack then I will run multiple variations with slightly higher or lower attack to find what I think is the true most optimal. Not too time consuming even though I probably made it sound complicated. I’m also a prime example of skill is more important than any perfect iv spreads. I spent way too much damn time tracking down the best possible ivs and I have yet to hit legend in my 3 seasons of GBL. Hit 2900s multiple times and can’t seem to break through. End up getting hard countered and I’m just not good enough to win against a hard loss lead and hard loss swap very often to get there. One day.
I could be wrong, but I feel they mostly matter on bulky mons. For example, an Azumaril with high attack ivs won't need XL candy to reach 1500cp, but it will be much less bulky than an Azu with little to no attack ivs. For attack weighted mons like Morpeko, I don't think ivs like 0/15/15 will make a significant difference.
There's a few like dunsparce where the default ivs give you a worse ranking against all eligible mons in the game, but a *better* win/loss ratio against the top 30 meta. Some of this has to do with CMP ties, if you have a perfect rank dunsparce, for example you'll lose the charge move tie against the default dunsparce with higher attack, and other mons with the same speed. Some of the GL ones that top out with XL candy, the delts in stats between the level 45 and 50 just isn't that great. carbink comes to mind.
Noob q, for master league; are 15/15/14 pokemon still able to compete or are they just a waste of time? Same q goes for 15/14/15 and 14/15/15 pls and thnx!!
I have no good palkia with its Legacy move but 2 98… should I wait to tm or try with my old 2016 mons to get a good one, or power up some not so good ones?
According to Yasser, Niantic said they will never be able to get their special moves through elite tm's. I would continue to trade for them. I've done over 20 special trades and 55 raids and the best palkia I got with spacial rend with 15 attack is a 15/13/13...
Guys don't listen to his Cobalion/Virizion IV stuff, he just wants to guarantee CMP wins
I will win cmp over everyone 😈
Lol
@magmarman he’s also just ignoring Terrakion cuz it sucks at pvp😂😂
10 atk 15 def high hp Veri/Cob's are a really reliable mix of both good def and atk weight for CAP ties.
@@moreslicehenry5553 my viriz is a 15/15/13 and my coba is 14/15/15. the latter has lost cmp more times than i can remember LOL

this might be a top 5 pvp video of all time. will bookmark for myself haha
Thank you Mr ntc 🫡
HomeSchoolHenry is back in session. Really enjoying and really appreciate these videos.
Waiting for the "Throw on Optimal Timing for Bozos" video.
You cant trade when you are at zero hearts, you have to interact first to get the first heart and then trade
Another excellent video. Learning the mechanics in PvP is important, but learning how best to gather resources outside of PvP is an underrated part of the game so thanks for bringing attention to it
No guzzlord for GL?
Thank you for explaining the "Friendship" level needed for good IV’s for the Great League. I have not seen a video explaining it. Much appreciated.

Great Video as always Henry!😃
Nice content. I think, you should cover what pokemon to focus on for upcoming community day this weekend. That would be great to watch 😊
Great Video, very informative. I would love to see a video explaining which Pokemon benefits from being best buddy (lv51) in the great and ultra league. Such as for Pokemon like carbink would you aim for the rank1 and best buddy or just aim for one that that hits 1500 at lv50
Cant you only do a zero friendship trade once with someone? The first trade will trigger an interaction right?
Correct! That's why 1* friend is also good, since you can only 0* trade with a person once
Carbink and Vullaby are also good choices of trade, aren't they? Or they can appear in events eventually?
got a 3-14-14 g corsola finally. its taking forever to get the candy though
Wait, what egg does the Miltank come from?😅
It would be a really nice quality of life thing if they let you set your trade floor with your best friends. I messed up a trade for a Spacial Rend Palkia because I thought I grabbed one of my auto lucky trade Pokemon and I was wrong. Now I have the Disgrace Palkia.
Got a hundo out of 12 Dialga raids and not a single one had Roar of Time. Pretty dope paper weight, right?
Hey is tapu fini not good anymore? Im just wondering
I have all those pokemon, but I'm working on powering them up more and giving those pokemon 2nd charge moves
That's a great start! Often getting the actual pokemon itself can be the toughest part
@moreslicehenry5553 Yeah, I have zygarde 100% too, but with only crunch, I'm working on giving it bulldoze too

Sometimes for example 5/15/15 is ranked top 10.
I have a 15/15/14 Shadow Rhyperior with the legacy move Rock Wrecker. A level 50 hundo Zacian, complete Zygarde form, with 11/13/14 stats; it is insanely bulky!
We needed this
I have like a rank 300ish galarian corsola, do i level him up?
Yo slice how do you feel about doing some iv deep dive videos? There’s a missing niche since Ryan Swag stopped making videos 🤔
What happened to Ryan, i noticed he stopped
@ no clue. I think the Tsareena dd broke him. There’s been a bunch of rather pointless comday mons to do maybe he lost interest 🤷🏻♂️
I mean, of course, dialga wants roar but playable without. Palkia needs spacial

@@aaronqueen55- Ah, I remember hearing that your friendship level doesn't reset for like a month or so. 🤔
yeah takes time to unfriend but that why making alts good
G Corsula, I got lucky, on my third trade i got a 5/13/14 1496 when powered up.
Can’t wait to get lvl 15 swords of justice for nova tour

Sir..wanted to ask if they will give legacy moves to dialga O and palkia O obtained by elite tm in near future..as my best one is 15/15/12...

Check out danottawa’s video on it, a little long but it’s really good if you want a good explanation

15/15/14 works in most situations! 14 defense is ok for most mons, but there a few that need 15 in that slot. I'd normally avoid 14 attack
I still to this very day, don’t have a 1/15/12 Cobalion

You can't get Galarian Corsola anymore. The 7km eggs don't have it anymore, it was only on the event we had before the current season
Yesterday I hatched a shiny one and I received that egg after completing the daily route and gift exchange 😅
Thanks for the heads up! It appears the event 7ks don't currently have it
That will clearly be back after the holiday event

Thanks "Henry" 😂
Never have I wished I had worse friends before lol
Been looking for something similar to this but for lucky trades exclusively.
lucky trades will be anything good for masters league or for anything youd want near or max
Galarian corsola is not an eggs right now
It's still in rotation for the rest of the season after the event
what in the world is this channel and how I have never heard of it
Hey, its my second channel! Im in the process of getting it up and running
