[@ThaGamingMisfit]

Amazing how much info you top end pvp'ers can process during a match, I'm amazed by this every single video. I think I'll just blame it to my age and lack of pokémon knowledge outside Pokémon Go :D Great video once again !

Found your channel about a week ago, lovin’ the spice, the enthusiasm, and hope you continue making content. Def helping me learn the match ups🤘

[@dragerzeus9996]

Thank you Zyonik this really helped me their are such pokemon which can do well but they are not highlighted but by seeing this many trainers change their strategy . Thank you very much 🙏.

"ZyoniK uses Alolan Marowak." Stop me if you've heard this before.

To be fair it's literally the only viable fire type in the great league meta- a meta riddled with grass, steel and bugs

[@jfmangano]

@@ogbmt I mean, I could see Blaziken or Typhlosion potentially being in the mix, and then there's Flame Charge Mew, though that doesn't technically count. But yeah, odds are you're using A. Marowak.

[@rrichman777]

I got my first 11 win streak at rank 8 with a wiscash, alolan marowak and alolan ninetails today, with a lot of help from zyoniks battle videos, love the videos man!

[@SSAIZ1622]

Just got to rank 8 using Obstagoon, Cresselia and Alolan Richu/Porygon z, throws people off. I hate using teams that everyone has, usually works out for me. 65% win rate so not bad. PS: Best POGO channel :) your videos are always so good.

[@jeniferdeleon688]

A force update was live today. All those who downgrade the version to avoid the lag got screwed

[@sadmonkey3868]

Good move Zyonik! Sometimes i see so many azumaril lead that i have a feeling that it was Azumaril League :D I think possible azumaril nerf canmade great league much more diverced

[@toka8909]

Thanks man, this is my second season in pvp and truly I have learnt a lot from you.

[@yangmingmeng5414]

It's actually six Ice shards for an Ice Beam, the second one is five Zyonik I guess you love A-Wak sweeps, so you always run a damage soaking, shield threatening lead

[@acebk2]

Great content man! Have you considered using Gastrodon or Cradilly as a spice pick?

[@JiMBERLY]

Machamp with counter cross chop and rock slide, dragonite with dragon tail outrage and dragon claw, and typhlosion with shadow claw solar beam and fire blast seems to get me pretty far

[@henryrollen481]

So is the lag problem fixed or patched? I haven battled since you said there was a problem. I noticed it myself and lost so many battles.

[@kevindiazdeleon4462]

This is why I watch your videos man you’re an actual good trainer and you don’t need to rely on Meta Pokémon to win

[@Nomotion8]

Are there any substitutes for flygon

[@hdiddy14]

Nice man! I finally got a Meganium with frenzy plant traded to me so I could use your previous Lapras team - just used Hypno instead of Deoxys since I dont have it.. and unfortunately don't have a Flygon, waiting for comday to evolve it. But i've been waiting for another Lapras team :D do you have any suggestions for a pokemon to use instead of Flygon...? (haven't finished watching yet, maybe you suggested one towards the end)

[@lazybear3210]

I may not be the youtuber. But maybe replace flygon for galarian stunkfisk that's what I'm doing with my lapras team.

[@tvaettis0653]

ZyoniK, I have a elite charged tm but don’t know what to use it for. What is in your opinion the best pokemon to use it on for gbl?

[@villainforfun3034]

I’ve been running shadow flygon and regular flygon since it’s community day. Always shield the flygon. Even mudbomb is dangerous to flygon

[@frostfire827]

I have a question, what level does meta start to be taken into account? I just started pvp not too long ago, at lvl 5 or whatever you call it, and I haven't seen a single 'meta' pokemon yet.

[@MT-sm5nk]

would shadow lapras lead also work if you're trying to get shields? I have one with optimal pvp ivs but I'm a little scared of investing and then realizing it doesn't have enough bulk.

[@zenzen923]

I'm sitting on a Rank 1 UL IV shadow lapras that I'm thinking about investing in. I wish it had its stats without being shadow considering its role in the party. Think I should go for it anyway?

[@teun5500]

What is a good replacement for flygon? I have the other pokemon and i want to try it out!

[@nash2609]

hi, why do you bring skull bash? is it because this Lapras never had the legacy ice beam move?

[@TV-fh9iu]

Yep that lag still there but playable still, like Zyo said you get the lag and can’t count all the fast moves and 💥 my opponents azu has hydro pump! You gotta 🛡 and on switches right after the charge move switch to catch it! I get it every time! Oh and Alolan Marowak is the answer to the spider!! And flygon!

[@garyhibbard904]

Nice team! Been using all shadow team myself ninetales, dragonair, and victreebell been doing pretty decent in rank 8

[@LexD11]

I don’t know why but i love watching these battles...they are satisfying

[@notabass9630]

Of course, it’s great gameplay combined with zyonik’s commentating! What else could you ask for?

[@froxfx]

What do you think about Sealeo? It's matchup against the meta is very comparable to Lapras, probably less bulky though.

[@Th3Punish3r7]

Hey zyonik what about a shadow lapras would you use it? I got a rank 32 for Great league

[@FilthyIcon321]

Earlier in the season, I was running a shiny shadow Lapras safe swap with A. Marowak on the lead. It worked out super well! :3

[@Ddgolem12]

That team you faced with Whiscash in the back can be hard to deal with. I personally dislike that scenario because it's so spammy with mud Bomb and it adds up

[@CayenneGT]

I have caught a 10-13-15 articuno which has a decent rank in Ultra league, but also I have caught a shiny articuno with 14-15-12 IVs on it. So should I power up and teach a double move to the shiny one for flex in ultra or should I go with the one which has better rank in ultra? Help appreciated :)

[@uponshadows3252]

Zyonik you always put out great vids for new teams and new ideas thanks bruh!

[@suzukiman8964]

What do you do about whiscash and drifblum with that team 🤔

After watching your previous video on flygon I used it in my team and it gave me so wins and won some close matches ... thank you so much ❤️

[@rotem6033]

This team shows a hole on how accurate is the Pvpoke Team Builder. This is a team based on strategy, not coverage and it's value can't be shown on the Team Builder Pvpoke currently have.

[@lazy6293]

Should I invest in a shadow flygon with an elite charge tm?

[@Cultured_FBI]

This was a great team with flygon and lapras

[@oscarsaldivar8593]

do you think shadow lapras will perform better than the normal one in the great league or should i use the shadow lapras for Ultra league?

[@danielfidrmuc8156]

I run lapras a lot and it's sooo good as a lead in my experience. You can either win against most popular leads or soft-win with shield advantage.

[@0rryp]

Should I invest in my shadow it has 15 on health and defense but 4 on attack

[@davidkeizer8278]

You should really try the Eevee trio Leafeon, Vaporeon & Umbreon. Leafeon's damage output per attack is insane & they provide great coverage over the meta

[@justbhav7636]

What is more energy efficient rock slide or earth quake

[@PetterNe]

You said that since the last Pokémon seems weak to Flygon, it’s likely weak to Marowak as well. Not sure what you meant there, as these two Pokémon have very different matchups. In fact, it would be more accurate to describe them as opposites than similar to each other.

[@str8nashtygaming466]

Other recommendations instead of alolan marowak?

[@Chrisbunna22]

Are those numbers under the pokemon the iv´s? Like, do two oh his pokemon have only an attack iv of 4? If so, why pick low ivs for pvp?

[@PetterNe]

Because PVP leagues except for Master have a CP cap, and since attack increases CP more than the other stats you’ll end up with a better total stat product if going for a low-attack Pokémon.

Man I thought you retired lapras. Feel like I havnt seen him since like season 2 lol. Very nice battles. Flygon is so hard to deal with when your not rdy for it.

[@yangmingmeng5414]

I use skarm sweep, because so many people have a grass type in the back. I lead with Ludicolo(Bubble/Energy Ball/Ice Beam) and Safe Swap into Alolan Marowak. A-Wak is really good in luring out Skarm counters like G Fisk and Bastiodon while being able to get them very low when ahead on energy, and all have at least decent Matchups against Azu. I could've used Azu instead of Ludicolo, but I wanted to try something outside the box. Anyway, Ludicolo has some positive Matchups that Azu hasn't. I didn't go spectacularly high, but this team is super solid and easy to play. I like to bail out with Ludicolo with energy advantage, it has good potential with Skarm Closing. I highly recommend to try out.
