Now that I think about it Chansey would've been a MUCH better Gen 1 pick

[@JackTottenhamHS]

What do u mean

[@emmanilsson5057]

Bae

[@RachJCullen]

Chansey is my go to defender when working to gold a gym!

[@rhysees8861]

Yeah, definitely. Also looking back over this clip you and I both hatched a shiny Mime Jr with the same CP on Shinx day! Just a little thing I thought I'd share :)

[@HarryPutter1234]

But Blissey is pretty good for gyms. Of course people can just golden razz slakings or use a mach amp against your blissey, but it's still good at least with psychic.

[@frankrappa4765]

Even if I think I'm not gonna use a specific Pokémon in battle I would still catch it for the Pokédex entry. Gotta Catch 'Em All!

[@PieterP1E]

Thank you! People say every Pokémon is not worth it but why is there a Pokédex to fill?

Spiritomb is pretty decent in the great trainer battle league. It's always in my party As for Noivern, I refuse to spend real money on the game but luckily I'm a mailman. Still took a stupid long 5 months to buddy walk to 400 candies. I just think it's cool looking.

I actually like when weird, random Pokémon are rare…As long as they’re not hidden behind a paywall. Remember when Grimer was one of, if not the rarest Pokémon back in gen 1? Random and weird, but it made it enjoyable to find

[@quartz3748]

No.

[@hatdag8395]

Yep

[@pieman1712]

[@Jack_OutsideTheBox]

I remember how rare Porygon was back in gen 1, and I caught one while I was on a trip to Italy. That Porygon is now a Porygon-Z.

[@coryguitargod4885]

Gliger & it’s evolution are actually extremely good in Great & Ultra league, that’s what makes the shadow shiny version so “infamous” as you put it. - Amazing video! (:

[@BabulAli]

Being from England, Mr. Mime is stupidly common to the point I have hundreds of Candy's for it without using the pinap berry. So when the awkward ice one was made available I was able to evolve it right away.

[@1987whynot1987]

They did a hatch thing for reginals and I'm sitting on like 10 Mr mimes and a Mr.rime and I never left Canada 🤣

[@EJthemad7174]

Same here. But actually GETTING Galarian Mr Mime was the hard bit. Especially since I only got mine through Research Breakthroughs in Winter 2022/2023.

[@Ezratechs]

​@EJthemad7174 I got mine on my birthday recently from breakthrough

[@BubblyStick3]

I managed to catch a wild shundo Mr mime here in the uk. Its absolutely mad

[@BigBrotherMateyka]

With respect, I disagree with many of your assessments, since many of them have great uses in the GBL, especially in certain niche cups. Gligar: Its evolution, Gliscor, is a prominent corebreaker in the Sinnoh Cup, and handles Bastiodon really nicely. Hitmontop: An interesting spice pick for GBL, and a prime choice for the Johto Cup given its typing as the only pure Fighting Type in Gen II, armed with Close Combat + Stone Edge. Nosepass: Its evolution, Probopass is a great tank that can has the rare ability to counter many flyers, Bastiodon, _and_ Jellicent. Shines esp in cups where G Stunfisk is not allowed. Spinda: XL Spinda is a _very_ spicy pick in the Open Great League. Zyonik has a great video showcasing its abilities as a flex play mon using Icy Wind and _Dig._ Druddigon: A sub-1500 Drudd from special research is an absolute boss both as a lead and a saveswap in the Love Cup, as it is the only dragon to feature there, and is armed with Night Slash. Pawniard: Bisharp absolutely walls Giratina and is a surprising play against Walrein in the Ultra League. Few people respect the power of its Focus Blast. Glassy, but strong. I've even seen -- albeit rarely -- Pawniard feature in niche cups with its Fury Cutter quick move. Rockruff: Lycanroc with Psychic Fangs is a solid counter for many Great League tanks (even Walrein!), and counters flyers surprisingly well because of its part-rock typing/moveset. Seen it gain prominence in leagues where fighters are not allowed, but even so, Psychic Fangs can easily one-shot/debuff any Counter users that aren't Def. Deoxys or Obstagoon. Salandit: Salandit _dominates_ the Element Cup, and if you are somehow blessed to hatch a female, Salazzle is an absolute glass cannon with its Incinerate + Poison Fang/Dragon Pulse combo. A powerful play in the Great League, and alarmingly good in the Halloween Cup. I write these given my past experiences in the GBL and what I've seen + how they're used. My fair opinion is: don't spend an exorbitant amount of money for any one particular mon, but be on the lookout for them; they may just give you that much needed win, especially if you PvP a lot (like I do, lol). Even something like Miltank can see niche uses if, for example, it learns Rollout in the future.

[@bean.5367]

We need this comment pinned. Only thing I disagree with is druddigon because it hasn’t posed any struggle to me in Gbl and salandit (only because I don’t have one so I can’t really give my thoughts on it). Other than that on point with your views 👍

[@LakeVermilionDreams]

Man competitive Pokémon go sounds just like competitive core games! I should look into it!

[@BigBrotherMateyka]

@@bean.5367 Thanks man. Perhaps I should elaborate on Druddigon, in that has a niche play in the Love Cup, as it provides a solid counter to Talonflame, Alomomola, Electrode, and even G. Slowbro (due to the Night Slash). Squishy, but spammy. Nice to use as a lead and force your opponent to saveswap.

[@BigBrotherMateyka]

@@LakeVermilionDreams Pokemon Go GBL is a lot of fun, especially in this Interlude Season (aka, the Season of Spice), where you have everything to gain, even if you're completely awful. I've stacked over 1.6 million dust from my winnings in this season alone. Try out some mons in competitive battling, and you might just ace that victory with some nice prizes. I recommend Homeslice Henry, Purple Kyogre, and Zyonik for GBL showcases; they upload several times daily, featuring trainers who share their videos with a demonstration of their wins and losses, and provide a lot of fun commentary.

[@eirehere3026]

My one and only Salazzle hatch was. Female. Salandit is really good in GBL. I don't use in incinerate on it though, I use poison jab.

I ended up getting a 100% galarian Mr. Mime during that event; That I evolved to Mr. Rime. Also I was about to put Noibat as my buddy to get the candies for evolution but now that I know it sucks, I'm probably not gonna do that. So thanks for the heads up.

[@MYSTlC7]

ay honestly go for it just to get it in the pokedex

[@matthewbenfield1018]

I’ve had Noibat as my buddy for a few months now and I’m nearly there to evolve it. Sucks to know it ain’t great but least it can go towards the collection lol

it will be in 7km egg in the event starting tomorrow

[@Skyzer2412]

Im gonna assume this is said without concern for PvP because Shadow Gliscor is rank 26 in Ultra league and non-shadow is 85 and hitmontop is 60-something in both great and ultra league

I like your contagious energy when it comes to these history lessons and how you're able to crowdsourcing images and clips from your followers. Kudos! Really enjoying the content so far. This one and the $1/free vs. $1k vs. $10k pogo gameplay video have a special place in my heart.

[@davidstone1293]

This video sums up problems with rare egg hatches, especially the 12KM ones. I no longer bother hatching 12KM eggs anymore because I was getting tired of paying for incubators and getting the same hot garbage (usually Vallaby) over and over again.

For most of the Pokémon, you could transfer it to Pokémon home and put it in a main line game (probably best to go with legends arceus or sword and shield) and then max it out there, give it a good move set and it could be useful
