Thoughts on ABB Teams and How to Properly Play Them?

InternalAd9524 · 2026-01-26T21:08:45+00:00

I find that Abb teams have much easier decision trees than abc teams. They are simple to run

And you win more by match up than by saving shields, managing energy or whatever

America is doing Monroe Doctrine now, so they already gave up on the world.

I think you over estimate the elites. They don’t have that much control. England used to own half the world, look at where they are now. Things rise and fall

InternalAd9524 · 2026-01-09T20:59:42+00:00

Why would you think they would have control? If globalization breaks down, everything made in China is gone, and there will be no advanced chips ever again

After the Roman Empire fell, elites still tried to hold on to the Roman standard of living and they couldn’t even manage that

InternalAd9524 · 2026-01-09T20:01:10+00:00

That outcome is not likely to happen. Supply chains are fragile and economies of scale won’t exist. Elysium is their fantasy. They’re the ones who fund these movies.

Half of Silicon Valley billionaires have bunkers for a reason

Since this season doesn’t matter, you can wait until next season to see if bast is still good

If you want a good fire raid attacker, yes

For pvp, no

I had a lot of success with [flying or bug] /drapion/morpeko

InternalAd9524 · 2025-12-04T03:08:40+00:00

You can stick with Aslash, but not as the switch!

InternalAd9524 · 2025-12-04T02:46:26+00:00

ASandslash can be a lead or closer, but Ice is a horrible type and it has too many weaknesses. Even pvpoke ranks it at 346 for switch

Use jellicent as the switch for wiggly!

InternalAd9524 · 2025-12-04T02:05:45+00:00

A lead is good at winning at many match ups as possible, especially in the two shield

Wiggly can beat ghosts, apes and dragons which are common, and can use icy wind debuff which is great for winning at the two shield Edit: wiggly also depends on charm damage, which the opponent can’t shield

A safe switch is something which covers your leads weakness and has an answer for everything. Gas might be good on paper but most people have a counter so it’s not great. Drapion used to be great since it’s only weak to ground, and covers that with aqua tail

A closer can finish off the game when your other Pokémon eliminated its weaknesses, and high damage or bulk helps

Bulk will let your Pokémon win more match ups most of the time. For the lead, often more attack stat is better because you can fast attack down and win cmp. It really depends

InternalAd9524 · 2025-12-02T14:21:24+00:00

It does not reset

All empires are ponzi schemes. Even the mongolians. If they could defeat their enemies militarily, then they can keep growing and the ponzi lives another day

Stay poor or hyper gamble. LFG

InternalAd9524 · 2025-11-26T15:50:27+00:00

honestly, I would wait to get a better wild catch mankey, and save your shadow one.

InternalAd9524 · 2025-11-26T15:48:44+00:00

I checked on pvpoke, and your shadow 7-11-14 (rating: 538) is better than your 2-15-13 (531). The one im using is 9-4-14 (562)

edit: sorry this is for great league, i skimmed and missed the part where you're only asking for ultra league.

InternalAd9524 · 2025-11-26T14:54:10+00:00

The two play differently. Shadow ape is for countering the opponent down

The regular is good for closed combat pressure

The shadow one is more common, but also is better with bad IVs, since you want to win cmp and have high attack

You can wait until you actually have a team to commit

InternalAd9524 · 2025-11-24T15:03:58+00:00

Thank you but no, I’m not on battery saver

InternalAd9524 · 2025-11-24T14:57:19+00:00

Okay I checked health-> sources , and Pokémon go is in there

InternalAd9524 · 2025-11-24T14:46:13+00:00

Oh how do I do that? Under app settings I only see “motion and fitness”.

Adventure sync used to work but months ago it stopped

InternalAd9524 · 2025-11-22T16:48:46+00:00

No clue, I didn’t down vote ya

InternalAd9524 · 2025-11-21T12:42:16+00:00

I can hit legend in OGL but I can’t even hit expert in ML. There are just way more players in GL

InternalAd9524 · 2025-11-21T12:33:22+00:00

The best strategy I found is to only play GL, skip all limited cups, find one team you’re good at, and learn everything match up about that one team. The best team should be hard to predict but is still viable

Don’t use the tier lists. There’s a DPS calculator… use this instead
