HUNTING HO-OH IN THE MASTER LEAGUE WITH A LEVEL 50 HUNDO TYRANTRUM (GONE WRONG)

[@Havoc_279]

Tyrantrum is effectively working as a third shield

[@ryanb6658]

Too bad we couldn’t gift each other items cause I could send you couple hundred TMs

[@frederickdawson2253]

Fr I be deleting a alot of them an be thinking.."I'd fr gift them to the content creators" they be starving lol

[@Andrew-i2t]

No one cares 🌈

[@changsterville]

@@frederickdawson2253that would be a bad idea for Niantic to allow

[@freckrpeckr]

I love that idea!

[@changsterville]

That Would promote a lot of cheating

[@SPEDWIN21]

How long are they gonna make tms switch moves at random? This seriously frustrates me so much. Obviously, everyone wants to pick with your tms, but at this point, I'll settle for them being in a specific cycle

[@pheesheggs4615]

Forever.

[@nait5340]

yeah, cycling through woud be so much better than going back and forth between the two worst moves.

[@raijinoflimgrave8708]

They'll never change it. One of the many tactics to deplete your resources as much as they can, and sell you elite charged tms

[@PoniesNSunshine]

The weird part is that while they are called TMs, they function a bit more like TR's since they are one use. Instead of the evolve track during the sprigatitto community day, I'd rather do quests and get rewarded frenzy plant TR's that could be used on any pokemon that could use it, including mons I've leveled previously. That makes it more thematic than buying an elite tm

[@SPEDWIN21]

@PoniesNSunshine i agree. If we have the move on let's say 1 of the pokemon already we shouldn't have to elite tm another one. At the very least one of the same species so elite tms would still be worth something, or maybe elite tms only for legendaries?

[@AJL_90]

Unfortunate that the TM system screws us over because I agree that Crunch would’ve made a huge difference. I’d love to see Tyrantrum again once you’re able to get crunch on it

[@dantonio95]

I feel like I've answered this QOTD already, but I powered up a perfect IV Spheal with a scarf to Lv 50.

[@VideoGamer110]

7:00 that was so unfortunate, you got him dead to rights with that EQ but Tyrantrum just didn't cut it in the stats department so you still lost. Rip.

[@crazycjk]

Absolutely love the ML spice Callum, well played even if you didn't catch the HoOhs where you expected in the back!

[@justinray8640]

Mega horn kinda makes sense on the Tapu Bulu if you're trying to bait out a Necrozma as well. Typical moveset is walled.

[@_PeaceSim]

I strengthened a ~80% iv Nidoking to level 50. When level 50 first became a thing, I already had one at level 40, and I randomly had a ton of spare Nidoran (male) candy, so I just went ahead and did it. It's not particularly good at anything, though I try to include it in raids where its Poison Jab/Sludge Wave can be useful.

[@sugamynutz731]

Why tf would u power up 80% ivs 😂

[@SmokerFace12]

Same, mine is a 15/13/14 shiny, still couldnt 1 shot a togekiss. I was so dissapointed xD But its still a Nidoking, such a cool mon.

[@Gatebreakerglitcher]

@@sugamynutz731not everyone is a hardcore player

[@G0ncSimRacing]

That full dragon breath down by the Dialga was brutal 😂😂

[@piff8067]

I’m gonna count it for QOTD because I hate it so much, but I powered up a Purified Hundo Spoink to level 49.5. It SUCKS so much Zen Headbutt is absolute shit and Shadow Ball/Return take 3-5 business days to charge, and it hits like a pool noodle.

[@DerBeyer]

Oh! Finally a question for me! I pushed to level 51: Bonsly, Alolan Geodude, Alolan Sandshrew & a level 50 Ribombee

[@CoolEcho-pk4un6xg2t]

People running aba ground types be like😂

[@Maxxiepaaad]

Props to you for using that thing. It's more useable in the Ultra league

[@Toddis]

My most useless level 50 is probably my 15-14-15 shiny Peliper Wing attack got nerfed right before i finished him 😩

[@zepp1832]

My current team is •Ho-Oh Front Incinerate Sacred fire Brave bird •Yveltal middle Sucker punch Oblivion wing Dark pulse •Annihilape back Counter Rage fist Ice punch This team is practically immune to Necrozma forms, even Zygard depending on alignment. The only losses I pretty much guarantee take every time is if there’s a Rhyperior in the lead. Other than that, I usually win 3-5 matches per set.

[@FrostyBandit333]

QOTD: Ledian. It’s fun to use but even if dynamic punch lands it’s not that threatening

[@jonathan40844]

QOTD: my perfect galarian slowking, I thought it would shred the fairies in MLP, but it does barely and it doesn't do much elsewhere. I just put it as a gun defender to help with fighting weaknesses.

[@SPEDWIN21]

A level 50 tapu koko. It's only weak to ground and poison, but it's so glassy, and some dragons just straight up have a way higher stat product

[@ulbooleroelegante5144]

Same goes for shadow gyarados, it just gets outbulked by everything in the meta, the matchup against zygarde isnt even close

[@ryanb6658]

Geez looks like meteor beam would have done as much if not more that that earthquake, I thought it was going to one shot the ryperior

[@SmokerFace12]

Played 1 set, saw 3 Zygarde leads and went to my PC to play other games xD Qotd: ML Nidoking at like 2800cp, couldnt even one shot a togepiss with sludge wave :D

[@mrundy9351]

QOTD: A Hundo Xmas Costumed Spheal. I know she's terrible and can't evolve but I love that little ball.

[@clrayace]

Level 50 Venomoth, Dustox, Maquerain and Vespiquen, all kinds of useless 😂

[@sugamynutz731]

Theme of the video : might as well sack this thing

[@SkullZStream]

QOTD - it would be altaria I think. It's already quite underpowered for UL, and dragonite does a better job, and now with sky attack nerf for second time it's pointless to run it..

[@mstevensh]

QOTD: I powered up to 51 a Shundo Snubbull.... Not a Granbull, a Snubull, just because.

[@nithyans210]

Talk about level 50 hundo chesnaught. Dude seems useless but was slaying groudon and kyogre 🥵🥵

[@keirdogstank4792]

QOTD: Definitely my Shundo Galarian Slowbro that only reaches the 2700s. It was my first shundo though so it was getting maxed regardless lol

[@dingleberrymore9725]

I don’t think I’ve ever powered up a Pokémon to level 50 lol. By the time I got the XLs to build a level 50 (Umbreon in UL), it no longer had any meta relevance.

[@MasterXierro]

QOTD metagross. I built it, then it immediately became irrelevant.

[@RedRum1347]

Callum in the master league. Nice! 👍

[@mathijsschippers9774]

How do you get easy Candy/ Xl Candy for melmetal?

[@CallumOnToast]

Meltan is a mythical so each Meltan you catch gives 3+ XLs & all you have to do is open a box every few days that spawns them in like an incense

[@benevans6271]

Qotd; I have a Master league Shadow Ramprados and its equally as underwhelming as Tyrantrum. It never mskes a move, it gets fast move beatdown beforehand. 😂

[@gOdl1KE1337]

QOTD: has to be alolan sandshrew for GL (still 80XL away to build a. slash for UL lol)

[@greenlantern3319]

Use ursaluna with trail blaze n HH goes nuts again water n ground types always surprises them

[@CallumOnToast]

tried it last season & was pretty decent aside from when people would swap a flyer into it

[@-Gd2013-]

QOTD: Well… none yet, but Salamence is my only level 45+ so I guess it’s that lmao

[@khaos288]

idk how the system knows, but it ALWAYS knows how to screw me on TMs. I once put the odds into chat gpt and after 13 TMs on some mon it was like .000002% chance of not getting the right move.

[@ryanb6658]

That’s was fun but I though tyrantrum had a high attach I guess it’s not that high 😂

[@johannes6613]

I powered a rank 1 best buddy Bunnelby to level 50, only to find out that I should've powered it up to level 49.5. Now it exceeds the CP cap as a Diggersby. I should've evolved it first before powering it..

[@CurL488]

That’s painful bro RIP XL Candy. But ya know a rank 1 0/15/13 is lvl50 so you could use it. Tip to those who read this for any similar mon… if r1 best buddy then you’d only have to power it up to 49 so long as you equip it during use in GBL. Would save 40XL’s. Ex. Shadow Sableye

[@johannes6613]

@@CurL488 It indeed is still usable, but it was just a dumb mistake. The rank 1 best buddy, the one I powered, is 0/15/11, without best buddy it's the rank 32 at 1490 CP. Most likely it won't make any difference in it's performance, just it feels bad spending the resources and making it best buddy for it not being the rank 1 any more 😛

[@EarthSpirit.easyzdota]

I have a 15/0/0 tyrantrum I powered to beat the mystic leader ice types without charge moves

[@JungleGuardian]

rillaboom, got a hundo to level 51 that maxes out at 3801. Thought it would be good at such a high cp, but its not even useable in master premier cup

[@peepoclap9479]

maybe once it gets frenzy plant 🤣🙌

[@Scorpic13]

Shadow hundo Hypno... It's absolutely useless in Ultra League 😂

[@CallumOnToast]

I also have one of those & yes, it sucks. Used an elite Tm on mine tho for psyshock

[@jehkhurana9821]

Fyi- we dont like baiting in master league!!!!😅😂

[@ganimstyleEX]

Win #2 was juicy

[@geoffrymcgary]

I looked through my lvl50 pokemon and honestly dont find any useless. My togekiss has terrible stats but it got me through the win requirements for lvl up 😅

[@Gatebreakerglitcher]

I powered up an oricorio for the ultra league to lvl 50 for the lols

[@alfredorojas9537]

I thought brave bird is -3 defense not -2 . You said quad debuff after the double brave bird. So I’m just confusion 3:20

[@alfredorojas9537]

Learned this from Henry but I mean the words are stated after the move, -1 defense (defense fell) -2 defense (defense HARSHLY Fell) CC and Wild Charge -3 defense (defense DRASTICALLY fell) Brave Bird -4 defense (defense DRAMATICALLY fell){hi jump kick}

[@CallumOnToast]

-4 is the most you can drop your stats by, so the first is -3, but the second can only drop after that by -1, so it's -4 in total, hence quad debuffed.

[@CallumOnToast]

@@alfredorojas9537 no problem!

[@alfredorojas9537]

@@CallumOnToast your valid friend you taught me something today and I appreciate that let’s go Callum. For a while I thought BB was -2 but I learned it wasn’t but I had also watched videos saying -4 was the max (which I didn’t believe) . And basically I’m just happy to learn this and I wouldn’t have had it clarified if it weren’t for this interaction so I thank you

[@alfredorojas9537]

Oops wasn’t sure if it went through well cuz I went to my discord to confirm as well and yeah man yous right !(I still think it sucks not to go up to 6 like the VC game but it is what it is)

[@eenpersoon2881]

I've only leveled 3 mons to 50 for the premier ML: Garchomp, Prima and Togekiss. Togekiss def is the most useless out of the 3

[@nZoot]

i've never leveled up a useless pokemon to level 50. Starting a very resource heavy game as a gamer, i always do lots of research on what to use and when. Let other people find out if a pokemon is useless 😅.

[@Specialcayspray]

I always forget how much free to play players struggle with certain things in this game. Like TM's for example. They really need to do something about that. I'm not free to play and I literally have deleted thousands of tms because of how many I end up with.

[@ComplexOri]

I mean, I was f2p for like 4 years, and I still had an abundance of tms. I didn’t play much GBL until I started to spend more though. I just had to make sure to have plenty of Pokemon in gyms and buy the best raid pass boxes when they come around

[@CallumOnToast]

I mean you have players like Jonkus that struggle with TMs & he likely spends a lot, the issue is more to do with players that want to use as much variety as possible. So for content creators, that could mean showcasing 3 Pokemon that are either newly built or running a different moveset compared to the last time you used them in every single video & it adds up really quickly.

[@raijinoflimgrave8708]

I guess the most useless is Litleo. Its 1500cp at level 50. Not really all that useless though, has had some niche play

[@ruik9530]

qotd: my 12 10 12 sylveon. i don't know why😂 also my team for past few seasons has been melmetal gyarados and rayquaza

[@TheLOTSChannel]

I dont understand how you can be a pogo content creator and a free to play player at the same time. Spending money on the game would literally be you investing into your own business.

[@CallumOnToast]

I don't make much money from content creation & tbh since most people can't afford to play in the Master League, I'm only really missing out on a small percentage of viewers by not making regular ML content.

[@SkullZStream]

That's also what makes CallumOnToast unique, because he's showing all the spice with all the skill without spending crazy amount of money on the game. That's his USP.

[@crabbbbbity]

Aggron, completely useless outside of the mega masters cup but i enjoy it too much.

[@AmzorcenEX]

master league is not the place for spice. i tried running ice fang/ice punch darmanitan. i lost horribly every battle

[@301nav]

QOTD: 15/15/14 Teddiursa for GL

[@GInfanti-f4g]

Shadow gayados

[@andersthew1se]

Shadow misdreavus is a horrible pokemon in ultra league and it gets even worse if you evolve it to mismagius for master premier (so I keep it as misdreavus for now). There is no hope for this pokemon! Reason for maxing it out? A shadow hundo is still a shadow hundo and probably pretty rare spice.

[@registeel379.]

QOTD: My most useless high leveled Pokemon is probably Xurkitree. I don't know what to use it for but I'd love to use it in Master League one day. I don't have any level 50 mons or else I'd answer the question correctly lol I'm not huge on master league anyways because it just feels so.. bland. It's usually just the same teams it feels like while GL has such diversity. Great League is just.. necrozma rhyperior and something different in the back it feels like. I appreciate your diversity with the teams you've made here.

[@user-ur1fu9tp7y]

It did get the thundershock buff - but yeah primarily a sweeper if you're quite lucky with the opponents team
