Never forget they have nurfed Shadow Swampert twice, and it's still the GOAT

QOTD: I loved Noctowl! It did feel broken sometimes but I've always loved that Pokemon for nostalgia reasons.

QOTD: Rayquaza. The thing lived up to its status in the regular games but now its a shadow of itself. Worst thing is it was a paid event to get Dragon Ascent to make him viable only for Niantic to shoot him down. AND they introduced Scald buff same season replacing a debuff you could plan against vs a hard hitting move where luck could change a game

26:28 Hey that was me :), what an honour to play against you! Tbh when I saw your name I kinda freaked out lol, was really fun GG’s 😄

QOTD: EQ was a really bad nerf (all because of Zygarde complete) to shadow gliscor. The EQ damage now is essentially the same as it was back then for a normal gliscor but you still have the lower defence due to being shadow p.s: I was in the process of builiding an XL Ultra League Alomomola for fun but the psychic nerf ruined my plans

QOTD: Breaking Swipe Sceptile. My favorite Grass type finally got a meaningful buff in Breaking Swipe, but unfortunately got it at the same time as Steelix who had to be a dickhead and ruin everyone else's fun

I done one trade for a giratina as its my favourite pokemon and really wanted to get one for great league and luckily I got a rank 32

QOTD:Walrien Got his both move nurfed 😔

I was cheated out of 3 wins for a 5-0 set because of getting that glitch 3 times in a row as I was farming down the opponents last 1 HP mon. Very frustrating bug

Of course the showcased Rayquaza has Dragon Ascend for the Great League! That's a high quality label you've got there!

Qotd: shadow sceptile. Breaking swipe and frenzy plant were really good but nerfed so can't use much

Seeing the mighty king of dragons Rayquaza mudshot down by a catfish is something else

Qotd: Quagsire, not directly nerfed but because scald got buffed on pokemon like whiscash, I don't use it as much.

Didn't even get a single one with CP that can enter the great league while I tried with two accounts. How hard is it to just give us lower lvls so everyone can use it?

Heliolisk! It was such a force for me in both GL and UL

The sky was mad on that event, had to stop myself from wanting to lick my phonescreen. 😂

I wish I would've got more battles recorded with the cool event background

Callum, can you make a video on your Pokemon collection... Would like to watch...

i am so happy, i got a shiny giratina with 11/5/10 and 1500cp from a trade. Flexing in great league with it and wigglytuff in the lead and a poliwrath

Qotd: Shadow Quagman, not because its got nerfed directly but because Whiscash does what Quag did, but better. So mine is back to Stone Edge, nuking the occasional Talonflame

QOTD: I don't think any of the pokemon I really like have been nerfed. I like Trevenent a lot but I never even used it until after it was nerfed. Same with Walrien.

Callum finally getting his under 1500 cp heatran at last 😂

QOTD, not nerfed, but froslass was my favorite pokémon to use for sure. now with the fire type buffs and skarm buffs, it’s so hard to play

QOTD: For me, medicham, but it make sence

Not that it was my favourite, but I have had a lot of luck getting all sorts of Noctowl IVs and was getting ready to learn to use it properly to build a climbing team with it, and then then nerfed Sky Attack and took it out of the meta 😔

Qotd: Not directly nerfed but indirect Alolan Marowak, since „every“ Pokémon has mud bomb and a lot has water moves it is not as useful as it was. I m tired of GBL, dropped my fights this season down to ~600fights… it not a fun to play anymore… it’s right now only play mid till end season for rank asap and leave (maybe take 3-4x stardust event, and Elite TMs(but missed 500wins anyway)) It is what it is… Im bored of built and switch moves around every season again and again 10-20tms just the tm system wants to… and if you have time the cup is bad or you always face the same 8 Pokémon over and over. My experience is that I top left or my opponent top left… you have 10+ fights which are honestly done before the battle start and maybe 2-3/day which are back/forth fun. Sure you can catch and count attacks the whole season but I’m tired and still reach legend with maybe 1Week counting(not because I’m so good, because my team killed the meta over 2-3days)

Well it wasn’t my favorite to run but I caught a hoot hoot that evolve into a rank 1 noctowl GL at my home and I then wasted a week setting it up because I rarely play as it is or go out. The following season they nerfed sky attack.

QOTD: steelix for sure and rayquaza also ( my favorite Pokemon) steelix was so powerful before but now it's useless and same with the rayquaza they were top meta and now they are top from below

indirectly, froslass. Always a favourite of mine but the last few metas have been horrible for it

I’ve had that freeze bug where i was about to win then I was frozen for the next 10 minutes so I restarted the app and it gave me the loss, I wasn’t in a party

While watching this video I ended up getting the weird lag cutoff and got a loss. Was an easy win for me with alignment, I was even up shields while they didn't have any and just needed to throw a move. I threw a return on my Sableye against a Pelipper (no shields and 40%) and I only did about 20% on an excellent. Shocked, I got to my dark pulse and fired it off. Only for it to get stuck on the charging screen and never reconnecting. Only to get the "Failed to recover previous match results" and I got a loss. Despite having a shield, two health mons and opponent was only 1 charge attack away and I threw 2. Guessing it's just very laggy at the moment with the Sinnoh tour. Not going to risk getting my sets in before midnight (soon) with the tour still on in America.

You mad lad! You did it! Time to get the popcorn out and get ready for this one 💪🏼 QotD: Rayquaaza - ML Walrein - UL Trev - GL

About the game crashing, I had the same issue. Refreshing the game between battles solved it for me

QOTD: I will complain about this for the 100th time. I built a rank 1 Haxorus for the GBL and it wasnt supper meta, but it got me a lot of decent wins, and then niantic gave Steelix breaking swipe.....and we all know how it goes from there.

Qotd: shadow nidoqueen used to be so oppressive and I was a expert at using her but not as viable anymore

i think you can achieve dragon ascent against that clodsire, man im not jealous at all with this team 😭

This is so annoying as someone who is still chasing expert I personally had 3 freezes and one complete game crash in absolute dominant matchups. I had 3 4-1 sets in a row which led to an 0-5 because they all occurred in the same set an absolutely destroyed my Elo. I was able to finish with a 4-1 so overall good day but man the 0-5 killed me due to the game instead of game play! 😤

QOTD: Maybe Heliolisk but I only started using it this season after the nerf :')

I don’t understand why giratina origin seems to be bulkier in the GL than in the UL

QOTD: Meganium. It was never a top tier pick, but I appreciated its dual grass/ground coverage, offered from EQ, which could hit reasonably hard (even considering it’s a bulky pokemon). Unless some other grass types, it felt like it could easily wall a lot of the energy coming from opposing grass-weak pokemon (unlike say, a Trevenant or a shadow Venusaur, which I’ve used a lot). For the final mail in the coffin, grass counters are especially strong nowadays, so it has no place in the meta at all.

QOTD; Medicham!? Spent 4 months walking my rank 1 for it to get immediately nerfed ahaha 😭😭

Qotd: without a doubt my shadow shiny politied I used to run with eq. I put ice beam on it just in protest because the nerf pissed me off😂 it’s still viable with eq but not nearly as good as before. Edit: damn I can’t decide now because I have a shiny lugia for great league as well but it’s not as good as the poli, not before or after the nerf. But that’s such a cool shiny i luckily was able to trade into the great league way back in the day!

I actually run shadow force just for the fun

earth power heatran is real

You could have put some effort in and got all 3 shiny.... dissapointing...... 😂 Love the vids and keep up the great work❤

I wanted to see the dragon ascent hit clodsire 😢

Man they KILLED my man scrafty!

Shame breaking swipe got nerfed. Really hurt my master league haxorus

I still haven’t gotten a great league Heatran. I will never understand why Niantic would lock a Pokemon that will never come back behind trade.

I dont care about rayquaza or steelix but rhyperior didnt deserve a nerf...and dont forget the move charm

Shake alolan marowak was my favorite. Mudboys and poliwrath being thrown in the meta ruined it for me

Callum making it overly obvious his reluctance to bait so when recognised in upcoming battles he’ll be able to get away with baits galore

Callum, how can one get notified about when you're going to organize a battle of spice contest?

QOTD: Shadow Skuntank took me to legend 4 times but now has really fallen out of the meta unfortunately.

QOTD: Shadow Nidoqueen. Such a fun pokemon to play but now kinda useless..

Defintly Rayquaza

I have 10 battles i recorded a month ago when I was low ace with porygon, porygon 2 and porygon z, if I submit them, do you think you will make a video out of them if they're good enough?

Good vid 😊

QOTD: Medi😞

Question of the day answer: Scrafty was really fun to play as

Azumaril running fair play... that was funny

qotd rayquaza in ultra league-great lead for me

They nerfed Haxorus TWICE and it wasn’t even that good in the first place

is steel wing more optimal now on skarmory???

King of spice!

Every battle I done today would freeze on the winning move wether I won or loss and was only credited with losses

I traded away three shiny legendaries to 3 people and got 0 gl heatran

Bruh💀 Wth

Nidoqueen

Ever gonna mix up the background music..

Look at that wigglytuff against heatran quad resisted on the charm and it skill did half the heatrans health. Game needs seriously sorting out big time. 😢

I had a shiny giratina from the event, traded with my coworker for non shiny, and got 3 star(mid stats) and over 1500 🥲 RIP

bidoof

gbl was more Ducked than mia khalifa during the sinnoh tour....

QOTD: Bastidon. Took years to get a good one and get the regular candy, let alone XL. Finally got the chance to be toxic and then Poliwrath got counter and mud bois got the buff. Almost useless now with less fire types. There goes 2 years and 500k stardust for a rank 7 basti.

first time i battle with you.i'm very happy my account when you battle with me is thanh05022010 ,i leave the battle .bescause i don't have stone edge on my quasire so i leave the shield and leave the battle 😃
