QOTD: maybe like a gbl thing which doesn't have elo? cause many trainers are afraid to run spice because they might drop elo in the process. or maybe like more limited cups like remix.
@184Switch yeah where everyone could hit rank 10. It was the introduction to lil cup. I remember that I had a 20 game win streak that season which was my best
Thanks for including my battle Callum at 11.19. The amount of effort you put in to your channel is amazing. Its great to see all the spice as I am so over the current Annihilape/Mantine cup. QOTD: I've often thought about a combined max HP. So for example the three mons need to have a combined HP of xx which would mean that people can't just pop in three bulky mons.
Add more incentive, something along the lines of 1 candy per mon per win in a set. So say you go 5-0 with a Bidoof, you would now have 5 more candy for it.
Qotd: more regular cups like gl remix. But ban the top 50 pokemon. And do it with gl and ul. You can certainly win and gain elo with spice. Just people don't try so they don't have the skill to do so when they occasionally do.
I'd personally limit pokemon to 5 uses a day. That way you need to be swapping teams and can't just build one meta team and never learn anything else. Banning more pokemon is the most obvious solution. Banning the top 20 just makes the old top 20 meta again. Most season just buffs a couple pokemon to counter a couple others, remove those and the others are meta again.
Instead of banning meta-pokemon they should try to ban specific attack types. In an hipotetic Normal Cup Vigoroth it is going to be the king. So if they ban "Counter" It will no longer be the number one.
Rank based on usage from last season. The allowed teams can only have 1 pokemon on the team from each of the following ranked ranges: 1-100, 101-200, and 201-300.
Maybe not QOTD- But if they have a rotational cup, where you cannot use the same Pokemon you played in the last battle for 1 complete set. Meaning - 3 × 5 = 15 unique teams
Qotd: I think for more spice we would need a different way to either power up or enter pokes. Grinding dust and XLs is tedious for most players. My option would be that Niantic would let us choose a mon, peak the stats and it maxes it out before the battle to the max cp possible. You are only required to invest in a second charge move and TMs to have the moveset that you want.
QOTD, I think they should have a open play format that doesn't affect ELO. Similar to games like Halo for example, they have social and competitive modes. The meta would be heavy in GBL but in sGBL you would never know what you're going to see!
QOTD: I found Remix cup honestly more hostile to spice than OGL. It seems like every team I’ve run into has Mantine, and Gligar, The fact they were left off the ban list answered to me just how valuable Lanturn is in Open Great League. It keeps me from seeing the same things over and over again.
The biggest problem today when it comes to spice is that the bulkiest pokemon of the best typings has the best moves and the best coverage. Better moves for weak glassy pokemon would be the best way to make the game more interesting. A couple of nice battles in video video, but in general I prefer slightly less spicy teams against more skilled opponents.
Adding more moves to every other underused pkmn is a start. Can’t change stat product but can balance them with better moves… it’s not rocket science it’s just Lazy Niantic as usual
QOTD: sadly I think this is a problem with no solution. Banning the top n Pokemon would be pointless: after a couple of days we would be back to a meta dominated by 15-20 Pokemon at most. Maybe a MASSIVE move update could make more Pokemon viable and give players a reason to toy with something new for a while, but in the long run it would make no difference 😐
I feel with Niantic laying off a bunch of their staff they can hardly keep GBL running in it's current state let alone adding anything new. So I would just like the game to run as it should! No lags or inconsistent play no more going into battle with a pokemon I didn't even choose. That would be ideal.
Please run my team!! I don’t know how to record my battles, but this team is good for climbing I believe. Shadow Quagsire: lead Lurantis: safe swap Shadow Empoleon: closer
QotD: Not much they can do. If you ban the meta, a new meta will take its place. Even in the main series games, there are pokemon that are just... bad for pvp. You can use them, sure, but you are crippling yourself. Since PoGO has done away with abilities, items, EVs and wide move pools, a lot of pokemon that relied on those are not viable. A possible idea is the ability to freeze your ELO, so you can run spice for a bit of fun without losing your ranking. Sure, you can't gain ELO either , but it does make it fair.
People like to win. So of course they’re gonna use the most meta Pokémon to give themselves the best chance of winning. Me personally I can’t run the same meta Pokémon set after set. That’s why I don’t find pogo championship battles entertaining. Every battler has the same group of Pokémon you’re basically watching the same battles back to back. I’ve made it past expert rank using shadow sneasler which I think is an amazing achievement. But not everybody plays to have fun which is kind of ironic considering it’s a game.
Qotd: ban more mons, take the top 100 out like i play in discord metas
Most people won't even have the 100 mons!
@@SkullZStream what do you mean? literally everyone above like 1700 elo at least 1 meta mon.
They just need to be more thorough with their ban list like silph cups were. Most mons outside the top 100 are just a straight up waste of dust.
sincere shoutout to everyone that gets featured in these vids. ik how much dust, candies, and skill it takes to make these sets happen
Qotd: hand the business over to someone who's actually competent on what they do
QOTD: They should just add non-ranked GBL separately, with all three open leagues available and let people choose what they want to play.
EXACTLY
pffff shadow shundo Dratini is a wet dream
QOTD: maybe like a gbl thing which doesn't have elo? cause many trainers are afraid to run spice because they might drop elo in the process. or maybe like more limited cups like remix.
I agree I feel they should get rid of elo System and make it a win based form to where u win so many battles before the end of the season or sum
They had a season where there was no elo, and people were still sweaty. Even when it doesn't matter most people don't experiment lol
@184Switch yeah where everyone could hit rank 10. It was the introduction to lil cup. I remember that I had a 20 game win streak that season which was my best
@Sh4dow1331 it was also the season Niantic were going to fix a load of GBL issues. Which was equally successful lol
Most people can't let go of the dopamine of winning 😂

8:08 purified Marowak, probably has Return and not Rock Slide.
15:57 HEY THAT’S ME! :D
corporate needs callum to find the difference between kanto marowak and alolan marowak
callum:they are the same picture

Instead of banning meta-pokemon they should try to ban specific attack types.

Unevolved pokemon should have better moves, that would help
wdym unevolved pokemon usually have body slam which is good and decent fast moves

Kanto marowak is your worst enemy 😂
that shiny arcanaine (galarian?) looks so cool
Hisuian
@@SeahawksFan2017 Thanks! do you agree that it looks cool?
Looking forward to part 3!

The meta would be heavy in GBL but in sGBL you would never know what you're going to see!
Oh my God that maractus double fire backline was the best thing I saw today, get that binky off my screen

I guess with shadow pokemon or with dragon breath animation you wouldn't even see opponent's ribombee 😁
Lol
Seeing these really want me to run my mantyke and crabrawler spice 😂
I see mudkip, I click

Qotd: guaranteed rewards for battles. If losing was almost as good as winning, it wouldn’t be so discouraging to run sub optimal teams
I didn't know musharna was a pokemon
it always was
Thanks for showing my team, It was the last one. not the spiciest but was horrible to run all three mons die super quick.
QOTD: Just balance everything so that it CAN be relevant. No "trash mons"
Non ranked GBL is the best solution to this and would make the game way more fun and less frustrating.
7:23 shiny rib returns!! 🎉
QOTD: finally give us an 'unranked' mode....
Adding more moves to every other underused pkmn is a start. Can’t change stat product but can balance them with better moves… it’s not rocket science it’s just Lazy Niantic as usual
Fuhhh these battles stay spicy!!!
QOTD : They will have to fix the game first , and then fix lanturn and scald dilemmas
What's up CallumOnToast? It's everybody!
QOTD: sadly I think this is a problem with no solution. Banning the top n Pokemon would be pointless: after a couple of days we would be back to a meta dominated by 15-20 Pokemon at most. Maybe a MASSIVE move update could make more Pokemon viable and give players a reason to toy with something new for a while, but in the long run it would make no difference 😐
make sure the next extension cord you get has a surge protector built in!
ur just have like an extra fuse or something

No lags or inconsistent play no more going into battle with a pokemon I didn't even choose. That would be ideal.
QOTD: make a non elo mode that gives less or no rewards so that people can just play
QOTD: award extra stardust and better mons for running a team of mons not from the top 100 😎
Please run my team!!
I don’t know how to record my battles, but this team is good for climbing I believe.
Shadow Quagsire: lead
Lurantis: safe swap
Shadow Empoleon: closer
pretty meta team, lurantis is somewhat spicy i guess

The person with the lvl 50 first stage evos trip shadows should submit more battles or to FamieFin. That teams fire!!! Wana see more!
They sent 2 battles I believe & it was hard for me to choose which battle was more entertaining. A full video would be very fun
YEAHHH SHINY RIB 😂
The GL shadow pory Z is a prize in my collection 😊
wow this is crazy

Qotd: make more moves viable
SHINY RIB
it returns
Sick
qotd: make sets 10 a day and ban top 50 meta mons
Honestly need to be top 75-100
Most useless battle award goes to callumOnToast ☣️
QOTD: Give more relevance to hard-to-build mons, and ban more mons in general.
