What is HAPPENING to GO Battle League!?

I never thought I'd see the day where Chansey was an extremely viable and meta Pokemon in GO Battle League! Today Chansey shows us how strong it can be in the Great League for the specialty cup of Evolution Cup in Pokemon GO!

YarizardX here, thanks for the shoutcast! This team got me 800+ elo during Go Battle Day. All sets were 4-1 and 5-0. Anyone still wanting to run this team a few pointers: - Arctibax needs to shield Charjabugs first Xscissor, as 2 of them (and only 1 debuffed) is enough to take out Arctibax. - if there is a golbat in the lead, you try to leave the Vig-Dusclops matchup with 1-2 ice punches to treaten shields. Chansey against 2 shields can be tough. - If there is a golbat in the back you keep your Dusclops alive, even if it is with only a bit HP so you can clear the debuf. - If you see a Dragonair lead, throw 4 fastmoves with Dusclops before swapping, so you can always win switch with Arctibax in case they don't swap out. - as for the shield in the last matchup against Zweilous. This was in case I couldn't get to a Ice Punch against the zweilous. Having chansey taking the Poison Fang there would probably mean that I couldn't take down the Zweilous as it resists Chansey pretty well up hp. Again thanks for the Shoutcast. If niantic is reading this, take out Vig and Chansey next time, what were y'all thinking.

[@ZyoniK_Pokemon]

Amazing games, thanks for sharing! Also great insights there for anyone trying to run the team!

[@chrisjoyce6171]

I just called the cops, they are on their way to arrest you for using Chansey like this.

[@azizben6457]

Did you face prime ape vig teams?

[@yariturksma461]

@@azizben6457 i faced multiple Double Fighters, and it is doable depending on the moveset. Nightslash/Ice punch isn't that bad for Chansey, and Ice punch/ Fighting move isn't to bad for Dusclops. The key to winning is energy management and quickly adjusting your playpattern according to their decisions, shield usages and energy buildup.

[@azizben6457]

@@yariturksma461 thank you for the detailed answer.

[@chrisskovross8050]

I hate this season of GBL. It is so allignment dependant, and every 50% of battles is that bastiodon team. The cups this season is so bad, like we have 3 weekend without great league, and in 2 data there is fricking CATCH CUP

[@qBodi]

yeah, noobs just doesnt wanna play something different and this forced meta with all about tanks is making me playing less and less, i bet these type of players doesnt even have fun playin the game

[@maganhassan2627]

Personally I kind of like this season though the cups are hit or miss

[@ShadowEnigmaTV]

Lmao the whole GBL gimmick has ALWAYS been like that. Since the choices of moves are limited and no such things as abilities or items the PVP is bland.

[@qBodi]

@@ShadowEnigmaTV people would play like pusies no matter what, that's multiplayer in general

ZyoniK = the algorithm 😈

[@shash8048]

Been a while since I watched your content. Glad to see you are still doing well 😁 For context, I hopped onto the Pokémon Unite train following you, and have been there ever since. The meta can be terrible at times, even tho it is currently quite balanced. Matchmaking still needs work. Talking abt GBL, I am amazed to see the day finally arrive where Chansey has a fast move viable enough to be a meta threat it could've always been 🤭. Was Zen Headbutt buffed? Haven't been keeping up with the Go patches afterall. Anyway, hope you keep up the good work. See you again 🙂

[@JANK_AF]

No Chansey buff but it had a Community day recently. haha

[@dprob1985]

My problem w gbl is the lag. It seems to not to be ordinary lag. It likes to lag at super important times. When u have a charge move loaded to win a game. Super ahead on energy to win a game. Ive lost quite a bit due to it.

[@jessehoffman3343]

Never will understand why Niantic doesn’t keep great/ultra/master available at all times because this is clearly what people want to play. Why would they ever limit the main leagues that people can play in and focus most of their time on stupid limited cups with only 5 viable Pokémon

[@supershinigami1]

15:54 Maybe they thought it was Return and Poltergeist? That's an option.

[@RoaringM00N]

I support chansey, unskilled players deserve to shine too.

[@MemoryRise]

there's a leaderboard player right now who climbed from expert to top 10 this week with Chansey. It's goated in this meta

[@acb3534]

So bored of seeing Vigoroth, Golbat, Charjabug and Dratini, even a Chansey seems refreshing

[@godzipgo2494]

I beat an 1416 CP Chansey today with 2 shields on both sides and my 80% HP Charjabug

[@beerandloathingpdx]

I'm always stuck in the 2,000s going up and down forever. About four days ago I started seeing chansey's in certain teams. Not a lot, but enough to notice. Thankfully the team of Haka-mo, vigoroth, and chargabug destroys this team with shield advantage.

[@chrisjoyce6171]

Hey ZyoniK, whatever happened with The Battle Park discord server? It use to be the best for remote raids but I feel like nobody uses it anymore. 😥

Old school gym grinders: “first time?”

[@Transit-Gaming]

Who thought Feint Attack Dusclops was a good idea??

[@YTNinjaGamerX]

No idea lol

[@IkeTheBot]

It gives Dusclops a much more comfortable matchup against Vigoroth, and since this team is weak to Vigoroth in back, it makes sense

[@Transit-Gaming]

@@IkeTheBot IKE? What are YOU doing here man?

[@wiktoriarork6162]

Leaving two shields for Chansey is a crime! But the amount of Vigoroth+Golbat teams was insane. I think teams are more versatile in my 2400+ elo.

[@andrewburget6692]

I felt like this meta is okay

[@maganhassan2627]

I hardly see chansey but GG yarizard though how comes his rank is low? Evolution cup is meh to me sometimes I can have fun winning other times it's annoying with limited set of pokemon to choose from. I actually wasn't sure how good feint attack is 😅🤷‍♂️ how is its energy efficiency?

[@VeilInfinity]

His rank is low likely because once you get to legend you can start messing around and not try-harding. Attempt some spice, use your favorite mons, etc. Not like he's below 2000 or something. Feint attack is 3.0 EPT vs. Hex's 3.67 EPT. So not the biggest drop off. But you're using Feint attack here for Vigoroth and would usually use Hex otherwise.

[@Hubert-rh4hz]

If you hit legend and not interested for leaderboard you ll always tank down(reason is the waiting queue, it take ages to find 25 fights if you on Leaderboard)

[@ThanksFriend]

I’ve been running Chansey, it’s been great

[@TheButtHorn]

Zyoniks passive-aggressive commentary on the bad gameplay has me dead. Just count the "interesting"s😂

[@chasetisdale299]

The battle day glitch ruined me I lost like 80/100 and then the rest of the week after the fix I won 4/5 minimum in EVERY SET. Cbug/Gbat/Vgoth. Good riddance to this week I can’t wait for catch cup I snagged a rank 10 shadow Aslash a rank 5 Lanturn and rank 23 annihilape

[@jozimastar95]

The more i play the more i hate the meta lol , i miss ul premier

[@larsdahl6709]

But also a Legend rank at 2467.. Did he drop on purpose to succed with this team? Fun games anyway, no doubt..

[@Hubert-rh4hz]

He wrote, that he climbed 800+ ELO…and I believe him. 95% of teams are Vigo+Golbat or Golbat+Vigo 3rd is irrelevant. He has a perfect a b b Line for that meta. Draw out Vigo, farm down with clops, threaten shields against Golbat , sweep with shield advantage chansey. Or play out Vigo lead get shieldadvantage and soft loose or get allignement. For me it cost to much time, but honestly a good team for that meta and braindead easy.

Well, I’m freaking done for today. Just went 0 for five again … I dropped over 200 ELO ! I have never had this bad of a day. Apparently this team wasn’t a good match for my ELO range today. I only seen a fighter in the last position every freaking match that I played, I don’t even know what else to say. I’m so irked I don’t even care if I ever do it anymore.

[@Hubert-rh4hz]

Your problem is, you play a team which was anti meta 3 days before… if the meta shifts to 2x counter you have to change your team…. Or in other words, you re 3 days to late… if you wanna climb you have 2 real choices 1st play a total neutral Team where you mostly play 3:2 2nd play a anti meta team, but you can’t copy yt teams, it’s to late if they are in a yt showcase. You have to built it by your own (or be in a PvP com where you get Teams earlier)

[@DerethAC]

Funny thing is that Chansey used to be better in prior seasons of Evolution Cup. Its impact has definitely been blunted this time around.

[@connorhancock2096]

In what way? The only new addition to this meta is artibax lol

[@DerethAC]

​@@connorhancock2096 You missed the new addition that is a big part of the reason....Primeape. A new fighter, fewer Haunters, and more Piloswine, which beats down Chansey in shield matchups.

Crocalor and charjabug addition. Also psychic got nerfed.

I'm around 2300 elo. I saw a Chansey once. Never. Ever.

[@nguyencuong4520]

It's more fun if Chansey can learn moves that can produce effects, like Trailblaze :)))

[@diggindaddy5381]

I stay up every morning for hours when I get off third shift. I love battling for some reason I can’t get past 2300 which was my last season high. I am so freaking sick to death pissed off, my neighbors, probably hear me, about this, ridiculous dumbass evolution cup. It’s been going on especially over a battle weekend or a Saturday as it was. Use up resources Stardust gone multiple times I got super good tip top IV Pokémon it doesn’t freaking matter. Sometimes I swear my opponents can see what I have the way they only shield, certain ones, and always seem to have the best counters for what I have! I’ve been wanting to use Chancey and then when I seen your video here it really made me decide to go all in and do it. I literally have lost 12 out of 15 matches. And do you know where vigor is now every freaking time since I put together the chancy team. It’s last.before I made this team, I was running into vigor off three out of every five battles over the last couple days in the lead or at least always second. What the hell!!

[@sullishot7930]

If you’re in the 2300s, I get your frustration. The difficult thing about that elo range is the unpredictable lineups. Where as the higher you go, the more predictable the back lines are to predict but the decision making of opponents are a lot better. Play to the Pokémon you see, keep track of the fast moves and energy of the opponent’s and your own Pokémon. And know your matchups. You have to be 100% focused on battling if you want to climb higher.

[@Hubert-rh4hz]

The whole team is built to draw out Vigo with arcti, debuff and farm down with clops… to have energy to threaten shields (cause chansey only works well if minimum 1 shield is gone(better 2). So that you face Vigo in the Vigo cup is nothing special. If you face it in the lead, perfect. If Vigo is in the lead you go return(like he does) the reason is, all you want is shieldadvantage, and if you don’t get it it should hurt. What you try to avoid is a 2 shield s. dragonair vs chansey or a counter user. I
