@zyonik thanks so much for featuring my battles! Since I don't have Lucario and Gastrodon I figured I'd try something different

[@ZyoniK]

Awesome games! Thanks for sharing!!

[@brandonellenberger8973]

Well played matches. Enjoyed this video!

[@officialroger9430]

@@ZyoniK I ended up going 15-4-1 with the team in 4 sets yesterday. I wanted to do a fifth set but I got sleepy so I'm gonna do six sets with it today and see how I'll do

[@officialroger9430]

@@brandonellenberger8973 Glad you enjoyed it! I was worried about how well I'd do with Gallade because I didn't do any simulations against the meta I was just itching to jump right into battle 😅

[@elchapuvargas3225]

@@ZyoniK I have a spicy team, Bastiodon, Torterra, and Staraptor

[@fireblaze8491]

I can tell this is a great battler most players would throw the shadow ball out of fear instead of holding onto it

[@officialroger9430]

Thank you so much!

[@fireblaze8491]

@@officialroger9430 you're welcome, really liked your battles. ;)

[@officialroger9430]

@@fireblaze8491 fun fact I had a Toxicroak built years ago but it was a 96% and 1482 CP. I just built this one yesterday and was getting ready to transfer it before I saw the ivs. Gallade was also built yesterday because I forgot I had a shadow male Ralts and the rest were female

[@NehRah]

Guilty 😅

[@ckgaming2366]

He s counting very well,, for sadly that doesnt work here in germany, for prior server access in most other countries, Our shit internet, for every count must sit and must work 100% with his connection...well played

[@evolition7]

Galade at the end like "Hehe, nice shields u got there, not gonna be needing those are ya?" 🤣🤣🤣

[@officialroger9430]

I gotta give my opponent credit for not top lefting though 🤣

[@jameswalkup4299]

Started running this team yesterday night and Ive been going 4-1 almost every set 🙌

[@alrik_as]

Seeing bastiodon oneshot by a close combat is so brutally satisfying

[@officialroger9430]

Sooooooo satisfying indeed 👌

[@elainelulu819]

One shot Bastiodon is probably the most satisfying scene👏

[@snop7876]

I have seen this exact team 4 times in 5 sets, llst the first one and won the 2 other

[@officialroger9430]

Oh my well looks like there's a team to watch out for 🤣

[@jordanbarnett9719]

I've been running drifblim lead, water pulse gastrodon, and toxicroak. It's done well against the core

[@sir.manollo]

BOOM & BOOOOOM 🤪 Right back is my favorite part on this video 😂🫶🏼

[@HaiTran-kl2cu]

To be honest, this is a highly skilled trainer with super quick reaction times. I think an “average” player like myself would’ve lost half those battles lol. Big kudos to Roger. Holding onto that SB with fros was an amazing reflex. I would’ve thrown for sure lol.

[@officialroger9430]

I appreciate the compliment! My reflex time costed me many matches so it had to be improved. You can definitely do it. Just stay locked in and have fun

[@HaiTran-kl2cu]

You nailed it. I’m at that fine line where it’s almost not fun because as you climb you obviously face more seasoned trainers. Feel like I’m plateauing currently. Elo ~2600. Definitely need to take a break. Good luck on your climb!

[@memmo4338]

That shadow Galade is really good. I don’t have and have been using this same core with Drifblim instead

[@fideltinoco7026]

Y'all, PURUGLY is awesome in this meta. Got shadow claw, aerial ace, AND Thunder 💥

[@oneshottommie]

I use frostlass, empoleon, and drapion such a super strong team fr

[@ajaygoswami6932]

Instead of gallade i prefer bronzong with confusion.

[@SupaMain]

That has been my lineup too 👍

[@harshithskumar2096]

Beware of double bite teams

[@PDXenvy]

I just went crazy with this team 🤣🤣 thank you. Also bummer I didn’t see you at Seattle go fest, I was looking forward to meeting you

[@officialroger9430]

Glad you enjoyed it! Just be careful of the ghost balloon on lead lol it's typically with Bastiodon and Toxicroak in back

[@XXLRebel]

@@officialroger9430 Yeah, it's gg's if you see the balloon on the lead🥲

[@jterry416]

I’ve been running Lucario, Drapion, and Bronzong. Been winning 4/5 battles per set. Bronzong is also running Payback for a surprise against ghosts and cresselia.

[@officialroger9430]

That's a nice team I haven't seen Bronzong yet I may have to give that team a try!

[@dgaagdagdgasgdasgdasg8112]

Bronzong is hidden op shhh keep him hidden

[@user-AMaraj]

I'm running Gastrodon , Abomasnow and staraptor this hisuan cup. I know it's not a best team but hey I'm able win decent matches. Getting the lead advantage most of the time with Gastrodon.

[@josesaenz5403]

Hisui Cup= Sinnoh cup & friends lol spicy battles nonetheless. Shadow gallade confusion damage is no joke

[@khunsambkk]

Did an awesome 3-12 with this team. 3 wins… 😂

[@Passport_Ninja]

This is me when I try other people's teams lmao just stick to what works for you 😂

[@mr.sporty2094]

@@Passport_Ninja exactly bro..i stick with my masrshtomp granbull and stunfisk ;D

[@DocLunks]

Munchlax,cresselia,gallade is so much fun. Just confusioned- down a lucario with 2 shields for the win.

[@vbittencourt]

Those opponents not swapping out at the beginning are crazy.

[@bullet1xs]

i just realised starapter is a big threat to this team

[@officialroger9430]

True but with Bastiodon Probopass and Froslass everywhere Staraptor wouldn't dare show up 🤣

[@aasimah7943]

I know it’s over but my team was Staraptor, Gastrodon and Bastidon and this team got me a 15 win streak! Staraptor absolutely kills toxicroak and gastrodon is also super effective against it. All in all this has been my fav cup. So far the element cup is 👎🏽👎🏽 need to find a team that works and Pokémon that I actually have

[@twiddledeedee]

My team with lead driftblim, shadow gallade and a rotation of either bastiodon or h-qwilfish puts in work

[@madnesshero4675]

Bout time my boy shadow gallade gets some love, I been running him for a looooong time. My fav gl mon for sure!

[@nameirakpamleishemba2106]

Boom💥

[@rehmsmeyer]

Wanted to see a drift lead. It's kind of pointless without seeing Drift on the lead. What would he do with such a hard counter? We'll never know.

[@goodtimes7383]

was wondering the same Drif is everywhere

[@_Amit_Sunil]

I would swap the gallade in, the confusions would chunk and they'll probably swap out

[@joshualittle8084]

I've been using Missmag, Bronzong and huiz electrode. Pretty good record so far, 13-2

[@Passport_Ninja]

The Gastrodon player had him hard countered all the way not sure what the heck they where doing there lol

[@terminatorx1729]

Great battle

[@officialroger9430]

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@terminatorx1729]

@@officialroger9430 🔥OP sir

[@fernbizcuit680]

Ive been using Empoleon Lead, Shadow Gallade & Drifblim/Frosslass. Toxicroak dies & so does Bastiodon

[@pixelsplay_]

Drifblim lead is difficult for this team.

[@wardrietz1491]

Basically my team, but using regular gallade, and drifblim instead of frosslass for more bulk. I lead with drif. Makes the toxicroak leads swap, then I can usually make them pay.

[@musicmaster8877]

Bro try Shadow drapion Super strong in this meta🤩

[@adityak123456]

Hisui cup seems more of sinnoh cup remastered 😃

[@omarholder9036]

I mean that's what it is. Hisui is ancient Sinnoh. They should have given us a week of hunting Hisui Pokémon if they wanted variety.

[@JuanFlores-zd3du]

Which Pokemon can I use instead of gallade?

[@officialroger9430]

You could run Bronzong as an alternative but you'll be double weak to Gastrodon. I haven't ran it yet so I can't say how well it'd do with the team

[@valor1183]

Damn I was running shadow gallade yesterday.. kind of similar team rip zyonik showcase.. gotta change Teams now lol

[@sreemadhavandevanarayanan3333]

0:04 the opponent's name........

[@bowmanencore]

Always hard to not throw a move late game, but if they have a shield, better to keep spamming quick moves.

[@alyssakli2012]

Love shadow gallade

[@evileye4832]

Shadow Staraptor is the true king of Hisui Cup...

[@XXLRebel]

Played this team and when there's a Drifblim on the lead you just top left😄

[@ItachiWindsor]

I hadn’t been facing any confusion users all week long until I added a Toxicroak to my team now that’s all I’m seeing dang near every battle… hmmm 🤔 🧐 🤨

[@_Amit_Sunil]

Because if that was true for everyone else, it would lead to more people using Toxicroak and that then leads to people running things to counter it. It's not a conspiracy against you bro

[@ItachiWindsor]

@@_Amit_Sunil sorry, idc what anybody says.. there is absolutely an evil algorithm despite how many people say there isn’t. I took Toxi off my team temporarily and all of a sudden no more confusion users… hmm the math is mathing! 🤷‍♂️

[@YahvultalPKMN]

what is your current trainer level? you can only power up pokemon up to 10 levels higher than your trainer level for example, if you are level 32, you can only power up pokemon up to level 42

If you're around level 33-35 then that's the reason

@@vedantbladers3402 with xl it'll still be better than a 1500cp with less xl... it'll suck for a mirror match and won't be as bulky but I have seen ppl run mon not fully powered up with success. It'll still beat the things fighters are great at, just less chip damage on other things.

[@zainzaman24]

what do you do against drifblim lead?

[@officialroger9430]

I faced 5 or 6 Drif leads yesterday. Shield advantage and chunking Drif with Tox as much as possible is important but make sure you don't let Drif get to an Icy Wind. Gallade does the rest

[@zainzaman24]

@@officialroger9430 alr, thanks

[@OmmNomNomNomTom]

Every damn time

[@fernandoc.4348]

Gallade goes better with charm in this meta, hit neutral to almost everything.

[@officialroger9430]

I faced a Shadow Gallade with Charm which was spicy to see but it wouldn't help too well against mons it would normally dominate

[@borjasantirso6358]

What if cresselia is the lead?

[@officialroger9430]

I actually had a cress lead and it's definitely tricky to work around. Safe swap Froslass and draw out the counter farm down with Toxicroak. Sludge it and switch to Gallade and hope for the best 😅 fortunately it was an opposing Toxicroak

lol just now had my Froslass vs a Gallade.. he tried to farm me down, but I got to a last second avalanche, my opponent counted correctly and threw a leaf blade on cmp.. So I shield and then he fired of another leaf blade?! so had to shield again because of that bug, and then I got KO'd through the shield.. so annoying , should have had shield advantage and switch advantage if the game didn't decide to screw me over 🥲, got hard countered in the back because of that
