I WENT 13-2 with my *BEST* Fossil Cup Climbing Team! (and how to beat it) | Pokémon Go Battle League

[@Saltyy05]

The sarcasm at 14:21 was the highlight 😂

[@pajablazen1028]

Thanks for suggestion! I modified this team and use it as lanturn, lucario with blaze kick and thunder punch and shadow magnezone. Super fun, kind of toxic team. Mzone can be a little bit vulnerable but highly positive win score and a lot of fun. If you try, alway shield counter users.

[@HomeSliceHenry]

Glad you liked it!

[@NeoDoomBot]

14:20 a poliwrath counter swap?!?! I’m shocked I tell you! Absolutely shocked!!! 😮

[@charlesschwartz7284]

Dude I have no idea what's been going on but everyday lately I have been getting hundos from the wild and also in field researches got a 4*gothitha then a hundo scyther in the wild then hatched a 100% archen. Then traded my friend a shiny hisuian Growlithe for a shiny Charmeleon turned out to be a lucky 98% full HP but not 4*. Then did some battles and got me a freaking hundo thundurus from battle rewards. Lol

[@HomeSliceHenry]

Wow that's some great luck!!

[@Telemachus2024]

I'm late to the party but I ran this team today in the 2300 range and immediately went 4-1, even beating a team with a Swampert lead. Cheers Henry!

[@TyTimeIsAwesome]

This team was eveywhere. Probably the best in fossible cup.

[@ManuWave28]

Had to come here and say this team is lethal. Love it💯

[@amparnell9]

The fossil cup that promotes approximately 0 fossil Pokémon within its meta? C’mon Niantic

[@Rejii16]

Thanks Henry, now I shall build a counter team thanks to your influence 😂

I feel him, I catch a Pokémon before I GBL. Seems to help show if the game will break or not. I Going straight to GBL has to so many frozen games, Pokémon first I notice doesn’t. I may lose the fight but it’s not due to pogo freezing.

[@kingramcha364]

Sir it’s not the team it’s the player. Absolutely great player HSH

[@ancalagon7772]

I’ve been running Kartana and it’s so much fun!

[@thomasbucior2164]

how would this team perform if you removed lucario and added swampert in its place?

[@HappyGamingHeadset-wu5us]

Hey, I've been finding massive success in the fossil cup with a team I put together: Lanturn-Ferrothorn-Skarmory. Currently on a 16 streak :)

[@Loganedward29]

Why can't I ever find these teams lol. I run double mud wirh Lucario. I would feast

[@RyanFreeman-yt9vx]

Doesn't sound like you would feast running double mud against ferrothorn. Sounds like you would get lucky if ferro didn't sweep you end game

[@Loganedward29]

@RyanFreeman-yt9vx People never shield the mud shot. First one hits then I switch to Lucario to take damage. They usually switch at that point and I throw energy and come back with the other mud boi. End game I win by a inch. Have lost 2 our of roughly a dozen facing ferro. Even the single punch by Lucario helps get the win because the damage is great. Save shields for mud boi with greater energy lead and spam it out.

[@volatilelyle5170]

I was running the same team but shiny shadow Mawile instead of the Escav. I always use the Lucario as the safe swap... especially into farrothorn lead. Because fire fang shadow Mawile completely destroys it.

[@Necromancer7514]

I run Whiscash lead, and S.Swampert and magnezone in the back, i know its not the best team, buts its the best things i have, its been working pretty well

[@daviddophied7734]

Great team. Went 8-2 with it. There were times I thought I’m gonna lose this one but team is strong enough to pull it out.

[@HomeSliceHenry]

Glad to hear it worked out for you!

[@vengefultiger7797]

So what exactly is good charge move timing and how do I get good at it…?

[@Bakkis952]

I have been running ludicolo with razoe leaf. And then macargo in the back. And fire fang mawilie. Just mekt all the steel mons

[@lDoVahKiiN]

Can confirm, the team is dummy bussin’. Immediately hit legend with it, thanks HogSlideHarry!

[@Milotic9]

I am not getting even a top 100 shadow quag from grunt , its so hard , literally I checked out 27 grunts out of which 2 were with shadow wooper 😶.

[@dquinn1988]

You realise you need to check only ground grunts, right?

[@Milotic9]

@@dquinn1988 ya , that's why I've mentioned 27 grunts checked out of which 3 said "you'll be defeated by the ground" and that too 1 had shadow drillbur 😞

[@HomeSliceHenry]

Good luck!

[@Milotic9]

@@HomeSliceHenry thanks ♥️

[@nathanbegel4505]

Top 100 is incredibly luck based, you should check other spreads out on pvpoke as they can be very good while being ranked lower

[@XolentGaming]

Question for ya Henry, how would you feel about a shadow cup? 👀 That'd be different

[@juanisimocr3813]

Why Force Palm Lucario? I thought the consensus was that for PvP Counter was still preferred

[@HomeSliceHenry]

I wanted slightly more damage for farm downs, even if it sacrificed move timing flexibility due to higher turn duration

[@quadrikemon]

I just used this team went 20-3 changed shadow ball on lucario to power up punch.

[@cosmickirbo6708]

I got a shiny rayquaza today!!! :D

[@danielpayne1597]

Guess I gotta ditch my successful Poli + Ferro + Regi team now... thx, HSH. Amazing plays & commentary per always.

[@jayasinghrathod8683]

We need to start ''Free to play'' campaign again with all influencers into it. Otherwise I don't think Niantic gives a fuck about state of a game

[@irvxing]

I'm having success with Ferrothorn lead, Jirachi and Escav

[@Loganedward29]

I have been countering this team with double mud boi Luca set. Quag and Whis

[@GustoFormula]

3 sets in with counter Lucario, hard to tell if I'm missing out or not

[@ricoflores659]

Slowbro has been decent against lucario and poliwrath

[@bobbyrdayton9866]

I tried a few different teams for fossil cup and came out with poli wrath I believe fast move bubble I'm using charges are scald and dynamic punch, quadsire, and skarmony...I try not too use meta pokemon cause spicy teams are just so much more fun but for climbing this is now my main fossil team... Any team u create will have counters so far this teams gone 7-1 ... Before anyone says anything I'm 1,550-1,600+ elo so very low elo range...this team might or might not work at higher elos ... would like too know how it does at high elo if anyone can try and comment here how it did I would appreciate it... Also, I would use my rank 17 shadow quag instead but can't till takeover so if u rather switch shadow with it that should work fine but just keep in mind quag is safe switch so non shadow with its bulk might do better here

[@rmnhn]

I hate this cup so much

[@JakeOngJiehuiAdmiraltyss]

[@giulianotardia7177]

And the last Pokémon?

[@Nureman08]

​@@giulianotardia7177It has to be something strong against Ferrothorn, like Regi or some Counter user

[@JakeOngJiehuiAdmiraltyss]

@@Nureman08 force palm luke actually

[@dingleberrymore9725]

I would have stopped playing for the day if I were opponent in the first game. Lanturn surviving the drill run and then sparking down the Regi… I would rage 😂

[@bobbyrdayton9866]

There's no reason I could honestly think of that would make me rage at all , it's just a game, a game that should be for your ENJOYMENT... Guess only reason I could actually think of is if I'm in a real competition with something on the line and I lose cause lag or something other then that nah

Been running Magcargo instead of Lucario but my team is basically this team hah

[@tylero2112]

Bout sick of poliwrath and registeel. Niantic not banning regi during the limited cup showe hownmuch they pay attention

[@JoseGutierrez-mr8yq]

Nope I’m starting my predictions of the next talked about teams after this lazy prediction 😂😂 I’m running the league right now in fossil cup with (Shadow Magnzone, poliwrath, and kingdra) look for those to have a video in the future.

idk if im getting total bots but i went 25-0 with poliwrath ferrothorn and registeel

I hate you lol

[@slvichristiansen4730]

What does aba or Abb mean

[@eejan1731]

Search pvpoke

[@danielpayne1597]

The concept is having two mons of the same type and/or role on a team. So in this case, the Counter-users are the Bs and Lanturn is the A in the ABB squad.

Ludicolo double poison sounds like it would struggle quite a bit vs escavalier, tbh

[@ayaankazi8308]

They have added huge amount of new assets for dynamax and gigantamax in the current and upcoming version (325.0) probably which is why framedrops are back
