One FINAL Catch Cup PUSH TO LEGEND | Pokemon GO Battle League

It’s funny that people being paid & or sponsored by Niantic completely dismiss that there’s an algorithm. This isn’t new. Many games openly tell players that you can set settings via beginner, medium, difficult etc. There’s games that openly state that if you don’t select a setting that the difficulty will go on a sliding scale ranging from 1, novice, and the more you win as high as 12. This feature is already existing in games today with half of Niantic’s budget. Also, you can make a case why they have an algorithm. Not enough players. Sometimes they do need AI to fill in for gamers to play. Of course there’s an algorithm. It’s obvious & yes, I do think either the move-set or the moves help their system. My guess & it’s just a wild guess & my own conspiracy theory tbh is that Niantic’s settings are on very high right now to create a challenge & also maybe to get people to pay their content creators to get better at the game i the future.

Funny you should mention that if you had a Mantine you'd be running: Mantine, ape, Lantern. Because that's what I WAS running until I saw 3 Unovan stunfisks in a single set and swapped the mantine out. I've been seeing that silly little pancake everywhere (2700s elo here btw)

An attack weighted Charjabug can beat vigoroth in CMP

you've been on a winning streak so the matchmaking algorithm decided you needed harder counters. but it's clear from your videos that if you are a talented battler you can find your win conditions.

I went from 2250-2450, have been hanging around 2400-2480 for the past 3 days but I keep getting hard countered whenever I get close to a set that’ll push me over 2500, just want to reach 2500 but niantic are just…

If the game randomly matched you with ppl in your Elo range, there wouldn’t be a problem. But it is clear as day that there is an additional “algorithm” that takes into account your specific team and move types included. It will throw you easy wins as well as hard counters. And it doesn’t matter the fact that some ppl can climb and get to legend, the real problem is it’s not random. Which makes it malicious in nature.

If you still think there is an algorithm when every high level actuall good battler tells you there is not and one absolute idiot tells you there is “POKEAK” aka POKEJOKE your just not smart and also very very bad at this game

can u talk about wat are some good teams for ultra league

Just wanted to drop by and say thank you for your content this season! Appreciate your insights and help!

At this point it’s open great league

Wiggly, shadow crocodile, lanturn is the best

I still have a day of this stupid cup

I feel the pain of the Hard Counter, idk if id call it the dreaded Algorithm.

But i climbed 225-250 ELO from 2200 to 2400ish (relatively new serious battler) after finally adding Lanturn to my team to counter Mandibuzz and Mantine.

Suddenly like 4 games had Quag and either variation of Stunfisk. I added Vic with Magical Leaf to adjust, and suddenly the flyers or some random fire like Salazzle or Turtonator was there to punish my adjustment. Luckily i only fell 30-40 points after a couple 2-3 sets but it was still very irritating to try and adjust accordingly and lose the next games solely because i adjust to what i was being countered by.

I hit legend a couple days ago in this cup and I absolutely suck, if I did it you should have this in the bag

i have no weaknesses to ground and see like 1-2 ground types a match in this meta, they just are everywhere atm

i play trail blaze ampharos and hit ace for the first time with it jellicent and gligar/annih

Just accept that there’s an algorithm 💤🤦

If you have ASlash that was my MVP for my legend run. Good play against flyers, even Mantine, and feasts on steels/rocks.

This catch cup made me learn how to use the freaking Wiggly. Now I get why people have been using it so much during this season

Yup, you've spent the dust. I wish you all the best on your run to Legend

This cup is rough if you don't have the meta. I keep getting up 200 points then face the wall teams like liki, annhilape, skarmory, etc. and go back down. I guess if you are willing to spend the dust, you deserve the wins here. I just play to get the dust during this week.

Daddy Dan comin' at ya with another banger 🎉

And people still say algorithm is nota thing, can still win games But come On, delusional if you dont Think you get double countered if you swap out slmetimes

First, thanks for the content as always
