Giratina Origin is Actually INSANE vs Great League Teams - Pokemon GO, GO Battle League!

[@owenlroberts]

If I ran this team I’d come up against a team of lanturn, dewgong and umbreon every battle

[@d0ubletap586]

Just a whimsicott will do it

[@KhaNguyen-qs2dq]

accurate

[@mrk88c]

Kyogre could be literally switched into whatever water type (Gyarados, Golisopod, Samurott for example)same results, better coverage. There is no point of investing anything in such pokemon for the GL Giratina is good though

[@Supertoddy96]

same exact logic with every pokemon, its 1500, youre not investing much, even a shadow

[@sahiljamariya9259]

technically kyogre is lacking a better fast move, waterfall is the only move it has, if it got something like bubble, it'd destroy the meta

[@Artemis_Gray]

Zyonik got straight up blue pokeballed at the end there. 😂😂

[@ZyoniK]

🤣🤣🤣

[@iciclewing137]

I did my Giratina trade over the weekend and it rolled 1499 cp. Talk about lucky!

[@ZyoniK]

that's amazing, congrats!!

[@luedanger561]

Nice! I still haven't done it. Both of my friends are level 50 and I'm level 45. They'll get the Giratina. Mine will come back above 1500

[@willie333b]

Wow!

[@yuxinchen674]

Well I got a one with 1501, talk about lucky😂😂

[@kennethlau2034]

Is there anyway to know and ensure that it will go under cp1500 when trade?

[@Gzusv2]

Awesome matches. Great commentary. Thank you.

[@skylord3818]

Wow he is also portuguese! Awesome

[@mayurmore6309]

Damn that last game was epic 😂❤

[@scoob_18]

The end reactions from Zyonik are why I have enjoyed watching this channel! You definitely deserve to shoutcast at the GBL tournaments!

[@grimoire3940]

zyoink we need u to do commentary for the world tournaments or something. your commentary keeps my suspense off the rails man.

[@JohnySnt89]

Yoooo! Portugal representation!!

[@wiktoriarork6162]

Met Giratina once, but had a shadow ball loaded on Jellicent with 0 shields on both sides, so our meeting was short...

[@oldsoul8134]

Is there a to high CP when trading for a great league and does cressilia change to great league eligible # too?

[@DanielBodea-hm7rz]

Every time you post is like I got fresh air in my lungs! You're doing our lives better, always you explain things, teach us to have patience etc. You're absolutely a legend!

[@matija8063]

Can someone explain where is the logic behind mud bomb doing over 50% damage to legendary kyogre?

[@MichaelJohnson-fu2ji]

It's just because of the level of the Kyogre for it to make it under 1500cp. It'd have to be around level 13-13.5 which would give it around 105 HP depending on IV, and a mud bomb from an average normal whiscash does 52 damage against it (49.5%) while the shadow whiscash does 63 damage (60%)

[@david22696]

Zyonik hype after the boost made the last battle 100 times better

[@demitra38jpk50]

You were talking about the damage against bastiodon. Don’t forget the Tina was debuffed by lunge

[@aximat]

Did 4 trades for giratina and 1 ended up being under 1500, but it was something like 1464, so not ideal ivs. It is shiny though lol

[@blobbyboy7478]

Same here basically. You gonna use it?

[@aximat]

@@blobbyboy7478 tbh probably not unless its for specialty cups or battles with friends. I MAY keep trying to get people to trade me theirs but by the second day of sinnoh tour, it seemed like almost everyone had either already traded theirs, transferred it, or powered it up lol

[@blobbyboy7478]

@@aximat yeah sucks that the supply only dwindles. I’ve been running sims all day and the high ranked giratina’s definitely flip a lot of matchups but the value drops off quick. The attack weighted ones pick up some CMP ties at least

[@rodtang2551]

Hey, can i send you a clip of my battles in gbl? But I was rank 15

[@spwarkz8564]

spent $11 on my level 12 forgotten 2017 account to do 6 raids for giritina research and when sinnoh tour came and halved special trades costs i sadly didnt get one for great league 😢

[@khez894]

Question. I noticed the trainer kept throwing Aqua Tail with Dragonair (even when Aqua Tail isn’t super effective and body slam isn’t resisted) but Body Slam is more energy efficient, right? I feel like the trainer might have won some of those close games by going Body Slam but 🤷‍♂️.

[@maxyn8943]

Yep correct. I suspect this trainer got help from someone else to reach legend. He plays awful and does weird decisions. His fast move timing is good but that's all

[@AJL_90]

Both moves cost the same energy. But yeah body slam is always the better move in neutral situations

[@vinaypingu]

@@maxyn8943 Ohh then you are a pro huh who reached legend every season 🤣

[@aKaxRochaPT]

@@maxyn8943 I´m the player. Don´t use Dnair very often, or pokemons with aqua tail, so just because i used the wrong move a couple times and the opponent did sneak one or two incinerates doesn´t mean that i got help reaching legend. I´m accustomed to use pokemon with 2 or 3 fast move turns, and this team it´s just for testing and fun. So the weird decisions in two testing sets with a non meta team doesn´t seem an issue to me. But i bet that you´re a pro that does not make any mistakes, good for you bro.

[@aKaxRochaPT]

@khez894, you´re right, i should be throwing BS, i don´t use dnair a lot, or pokemons with aqua tail, they´re the same energy i thought that did the same damage, but we learn and improve everyday, that´s one of the good things about the community.

[@godzipgo2494]

Now if I use this team i would face Primarina or Wiggles in the first battle

[@rishigaddemsetty4781]

[@thanosbustedinyourmum]

Not against my steelix it didn’t and my aloan ninetales did very good against this matchup

[@iercan06]

Maybe need to use dragon pulse for normal and dark types

Im running azu in lead same team pretty good results

[@danieliusblackius1130]

17:30 - those players that close the app. They may as well be crying and sucking their thumb also.

[@ChrisJSi]

Love your shout casting, your videos are always entreating and educational in PVP. Is there a reason, why the trainer closed the app and restarted after the loss?

[@aKaxRochaPT]

Hey! I´m the player, if you noticed when i entered the queu screen at 08:08 was not finding match, that happens a lot when i top left the the previous match

[@blobbyboy7478]

Ended up getting the shiny giratina at 1473 cp, 11/4/1. Far from ideal bulk but at least I can use it?

[@danieliusblackius1130]

Who traded you the shiny?

[@blobbyboy7478]

@@danieliusblackius1130 just a guy I met during the global tour. Kept telling people what I was looking for and why and he had the shiny. Told him to name his price and I gave him the shiny regional sneasel

[@IceMan-sj7ri]

Shoulda let Giratina go in that battle against whiscash and let Kyogre farm down. I think kyogre could have won that game with a shield in the end game and a charge move against the dragonair. Kyogre could've tanked a mud bomb while farming whiscash

[@maxyn8943]

It hurts when you see a "Legend" player throwing aqua tail from is shadow dragonair onto the lickitung. Someone bought legend status confirmed.

Actually very solid, sure. Definitely wouldn't call it insane in all caps. Although I begrudgingly understand that you have to feed the algorithm. 😀

[@SSShadyLane]

Dragons (in general)have always been a crowd favorite and get an insane amount of respect. An ice type have always been in my main carries. Literally every since the n64 and crystal days. Yeah, giratina. Lol. Kinda overated. Things haven't changed that much. I can already see the unbreons, Azumarills, and the Alola Ninetales coming back in GL.

[@ZoharHayun]

Hi Zyonik I know it's kinda random but I have a question: how do you get all of your resources for pokemon go? Like stardust, rare candies, regular candies and elite tms? Because I am really struggling with the amount of stardust and rare candy I have and I can't really make viable pokemon with stuff like two charged moves.

[@sullishot7930]

He’s been playing for years

[@hdvblankyy]

He is a content creator. So he spent money to showcase every Mon. In addition he is playing this game quite a while now. As a casual player just catch Pokemon and play PvP if you like it and do 1 raid with your free daily raid pass every day. Dont waste dust for non meta mons unless you really want it (favorite Mon or a special shiny you like). Once you power up round about the top 10 Meta Mons for every league there are no urgency to use it anymore. If you are thrifty and playing every day it will take you maybe 6-12 month to obtain everything you need (except the resources for master league). I know it sounds terrifying but at the beginning just find out if you like the game and the game concept. If you really like it the resources will come from alone somedays. If there is any question just ask. Best regards

[@justinspitzer5710]

In all honesty it just takes time. Playing during extra stardust events and prioritizing building only a few Pokémon you really need at the beginning. Eventually after playing for a while you can stockpile dust to build more expensive or spicy Pokémon.

[@sharma1571]

7 giratina trade and no one is below 1500

[@joshuacider3929]

Think it’s a good Pokemon but lickitung absolutely walls it and it’s meta. It’s late in the season so most players aren’t playing meta to climb we will have to see next season. Overall though it’s amazing.

Here's to Niantic banning legendaries in GBL one day. Being locked out of Ultra League because I don't have Cresselia or Giratine sucks. Having legendsries infiltrate even GL now turns me off of the mode even more.

Just be more patient. Every legendary will come again in raids or field task. PS: Both legendaries you mentioned earlier were in raids recently. So it was your own fault that you missed your opportunity :P
