Love the Sparky Dolphin! Hope you do too!

[@jaydenreyna2946]

I love it but sadly I cant get a second attack move 😕

[@vedu2]

Yeah! But can you tell me which fast move is ideal on it? Water gun or spark??

[@jaydenreyna2946]

@@vedu2 I feel like water gun would be better

[@sethlopez8287]

@@vedu2 spark is very efficient for energy gain but water has a good coverage. I would say spark is better though.

[@sethlopez8287]

@@jaydenreyna2946 spark is for energy gain while water gun is for damage and coverage. I would say spark is better but honestly both moves work well.

“Sparky Dolphin is now meta” Always has been

[@MohammedAli-dk8hu]

It's shit bro. Its never been meta what you talking about

[@spartanAXA]

@@MohammedAli-dk8hu you probably don't know how to use it. I've been using it since season-1 and I've gotten to rank 10 in almost every season. Got upto Veteran in the previous season as well.

Not really lmao it’s kinda shit

[@rawsteel6443]

@@spartanAXA what are you running lanturn with?

[@m0z4rt427]

10:45 WHAT A CLUTCH Lanturn is a Victrebell counter confirmed!

[@theshinyguru951]

This is why I keep pretty much every pokemon that has good IVs. Whether it be dugtrio, swalot, etc. U never know when one might be good for pvp one day

[@ProProboscis]

12:39 the trouble with Hydro pump (89% of Machamp's HP) is that by the time you got to it, Thunderbolt (62%) was more than enough to one shot Machamp (55% left of its HP). Yes sometimes you wish you had spark (4dmg 8 energ) but I still prefer Water gun (6dmg 6enrg). That sparky Dolphin is in my top 6 pick, I had lot of fun using it tandem with Galvantula :)

[@sureshjayaraman7332]

1 HP and a dream 😂😂 Your voice modulations and facial expressions are top notch. Zyonik, you have all the makings of a stage actor. Why not try it out???

[@thehappygamereverywhere9024]

Me : wowwww, I wanted to use a lanturn team, lets gooo Clicks on video Sees a medicham in the team Me : ok, bye

[@ELMOisINNOCENT]

I always thought Lanturn was like a smiley Angler Fish but him do look like a dolphin 🤔

[@Aflay1]

It can be both things.

[@hardikghai5168]

I am currently using Azumarill (play rough, Hydro) ; Hypno ( thunder punh , focus blast) ; talonflame (flame charge , brave bird). I am currently on 13 Rank and this team is just amazing. I all learnt how to ACTUALLY play gbl from u Zyonic. Thanks to u

[@justkarmabehindyourdoor7117]

Really enjoy watching your vids. I’ve progressed a lot thanks to you😁

[@connorbuternowsky4875]

Suggestion: use munchlax. I’m using a team of Skarmory lead, munchlax safe swap, and shrifty in the back. I’ve played at least 10 sets with the team and have only gotten less than 3/5 once

[@Duderantula]

Yay, sparky dolphin is one of my favourites! I saw another KZbinr showcase it yesterday, but it had spark, so I used 5 TMs to give it spark, but now I have seen your video, and used another 5 to give is water gun haha.... Seems like water gun is the better fast move to run on it. They really do need to rework the TM system, giving elite TMs is not enough...

[@UnitedEditz2]

Nice! 86K congrats bro your growing so fast

[@ZyoniK]

Thanks!

[@BlanBlan19901990]

Lanturn gives a big middle finger to the meta tbh, especially to the weather ballers. Fire/ice/water resistance w/ an electric stab move and bulk is not to be slept on

[@Robck27]

Yesss!!Finally the video I was hoping for. Shoutout to BadxBones because his suggestion for a fight lead and having Lanturn as safe swap was great!!!! Now I want a shiny with good iv league. My team now is Lead Machamp/Lanturn/Talonflame I run Water gun specifically for Galarian Stunfisk and tbh it builds up consistent energy even on neutral damage.

[@nazmussakib8734]

I am running talonflame Man it's beyond satisfying to one shot azu whishcash swamperts

[@XanBcoo]

"I can never win" *wins consistently regardless*

[@jcbyo]

just made a rank 2 Lanturn last night & i was so afraid it was gonna go over 1500 when i evolved but it landed right on 1499 just had to spend the dust on 2nd move no powering up needed 👍🏼

[@youtubeuserxix]

Top battles with top commentary! I need to invest on a Lanturn soon, it's becoming really useful these days

[@ZhawK_5010]

My first great league Pokemon I used was lantern with spark and thunder and it charged incredibly fast

[@ArtimusDragon]

Totally agree with running water gun on lanturn in open GL. spark is faster in terms of energy but sucks at threatening the likes of swampert, gfisk and politoed. Well... not politoed.

[@andrewrobinson6440]

Cool team but I wanted to take it old school and remembered your S4 first match team and used it to surprise people 😂😂😂 that bear trap still works 😅

[@dominikb.5484]

Zyonik: I couldn't fight in gbl wth low battery power. I need it to be around 100%. also Zyonik: battery level is below 20%

[@ZyoniK]

😅

[@Barny2814]

I had pretty good run yesterday getting an 11 streak but no I'm only winning my usual 2-3 or 1-4 per set. 109 battles won out of 200 😕

[@grahamjohnson5480]

Silly favor to ask, I love watching your videos while I’m doing stuff around the house, which means sometimes I’m doing more listening than watching. I realized that after every match you say “good battle very well played,” or “gg” no matter what the outcome was, so I end up going “wait does that mean he won or lost that one?” 🤣 could you make some sort of clear remark at the end of each match that lets us know whether it was a win or loss for those of us who are watching and multi-tasking??

[@jfmangano]

Charmers are obviously a concern for this team, but overall, I like the durability and flexibility factors. Looking at the Xs and Os within the meta, the biggest concern, somewhat ironically, is Altaria, but it's manageable.

[@topi9774]

Damn he called the last battle right, we gotta clebrate this

[@geileenteyt1043]

Last season I got rank 22 with 2509 points and this season Im heading to become an Expert. This is only possible with your great videos! Keep it up!

[@Duderantula]

I wish they would give Lanturn a CD, with a charged move that doesn't cost so much energy

[@mat123688]

Sparky dolphin has been my main for almost 1 year, glad to see that he's getting the recognition he deserves

[@treygraphy8050]

I think that gfisk had 2 rock slides or very close. In the sweaty game. The match with the mew lead they had 2 counter to altaria. Regi is a soft an azu is the hard. They should have just safe swap the regi to bring out the fighter. And then mew comes back in. I've seen so many altaria leads lately. Honestly thinking of ice beam mew. They will never see it coming. 😂

[@MrPhruitloops]

Stayed to watch that epic battle. I liked the in depth commentary about what you were thinking in real time.

[@wilsonng7554]

my team is similar to yours altaria, medicham, ferrothorn you can try it as well we focus on how to deal with azum and g fish. And we use altaria at first to try to get switch advantage.

[@calebevans8986]

I knew nothing about battling and I was scared to jump in so I waited until I had three hundos to start 😭 Altaria, Whimsicott, & Victreebel 😂

[@didestunbobody]

I've been using him since day 1 of my Great League aventure :) ! So tanky and great for all those Azumarill out there!

[@davidedfernandes]

nice battles :) I've been running shiftry (lead), vigoroth and galarian stunfisk. I've been getting a crazy number of wins with this team, even with lots of teams with talonflame

[@sonnybbx1153]

Mandibuzz is a flying Umbreon! XD

[@charliezou1272]

You should make a video with swanna.

[@atilanomercado9112]

I use lanturn as a lead, vigorot safe swap and talonflame as a closer and went 5 - 0 Lanturn was the mvp

[@DanZero77]

I've been using Lanturn for a long time now but with Talonflame it definitely is getting popular but I use Spark as a fast move on it for better energy gains - it's such a difficult decision between that for energy or Water Gun for better damage - I was thinking Spark also for better Flying coverage but I see here WG works way better on the G-Fisk - which to use?

[@hildesophie6947]

I prefer driffblim than altaria. Azu gfisk marowak skarm u stay. Talon take shield advantage. Farm down with watergun

[@RipleyTheRandomYT]

Very spicy moveset on lanturn, hydro pump instead of surf

[@aidenceja6467]

My favorite part about this sparky dophine video is last video with bonexbones he was playing the whole time with 15% and software updates and zyonik said he could never play like that but then he gets a notification saying phone under 20% lol

[@ZyoniK]

😅

[@ProjetoHearthstone]

Does using a 87% medicham and a 98,2% makes a huge difference? I have a 100% which I used before lvl50 was implemented, and now its just a 87% D: I have no GG candies yet to lvl up the 98,2%.

[@DCDJ92]

Normally when a KZbinr makes a team it completely destroys me, this might the first one I can win against. Please let lots of people use this team 😂

[@janmachacek4866]

I hope lanturn will once get either weather ball or mud shot

[@pedromonteiro2026]

No BOOM team =( haha great video anyway

[@shaheenhossain8707]

Hey zyonik i dont have a maxed out medicham yet.. Pls suggest a mon in place of medicham for this team comp. I'd be grateful.

[@Gooday2day]

Try Primeape, Poliwrath or Hitmonchan. pvpoke.com might give you more ideas.

[@wilsonng7554]

I have a team which is very similar to your team: altaria, medicham, ferrothorn we have similar mind set. Your team and my team is weak to fairy type.

[@qiothzia699]

That’s a good battle very well play

[@risingogre8118]

I had to ditch him first part of season 6. I have seen a couple an its not a very good match up for them.

[@k.w.6261]

I love sparky dolphin too But defense is a bit weak

[@rajatadak7826]

Hello Zyonik I was playing with this team too from the last 3 days! It works great but the greatest threat to this team is a Whimsicott.... Faced only twice but had no answer to it

[@godzillapgo6647]

Lanturn is a Shadow Victribel counter confirmed !!

[@simpleguides5107]

Yay i have an double move lanturn just for fun and now it is good

[@BADxBONES]

I think the Focus Blast Hypno would be better instead of Medi

[@tylerjohn1411]

Just went 5/0 with Altaria, WG Lanturn, and a single-moved Bronzong at rank 18 and I can't stop laughing

[@MilwaukeeAtheists]

so glad i invested in a rank 8 last season

[@Gengurrr]

Ngl i prefer spark over water gun. Better chip damage against flyers or azu

[@DmKirai]

Awesome Lanturn vid! I want to try out my lucky shiny in GL now

[@ishwarbasavan8251]

I'm on level 42 and I max out a mon to level 50 will it count later for the max out a mon to level 50 task at level 47?

Also whimsicott

How does the switch charge attack work? I feel like I lose a lot because me and my opponent both have a charge we are trying to use on the switch because a pokemon fainted and he gets it even though I am tapping it

If you both use a charge attack at the same time, whichever Pokémon that has the overall highest attack goes first
