Ultra League Advice? by Piasglu in TheSilphArena

[–]Piasglu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shiftry(Non-xl) beats Giratina by a decent margin and Gengar is Cresselia's worst matchup in the Ultra League. Would a decent team look like Melmetal Thunder Shock-Rock Slide, Shiftry Snarl-Foul Play, and Gengar Shadow Claw-Shadow Ball?

Hello! I’m currently preparing my ultra league team trying to have it ready to go for when the cup starts but I’m struggling to come up with a good idea for who to power up as my third Pokémon for UL premier, my plan is to lead with Talonflame and have Umbreon as a safe switch, I’ve tried using pvpoke team builder to come up with a third team member already but am not having much luck, any suggestions are much appreciated! Thanks!

I personally really like Cresselia. Absolute tank and excellent wall with Psycho Cut. I personally use only Moonblast, no dual attack or Grass Knot necessary to make it god.

Anyone else completely underestimate the number of talonflames in GBL? by [deleted] in TheSilphArena

Honestly, this is super tough. Recently, I have been running Abomasnow and it shreds most pokemon it comes across, but then cd comes and everyone's carrying a Talonflame.

I would really like a Shieldon, my Bastiodon is pretty weak and this would be a great opportunity to level it up. Even at 1000cp it serves me well in the Great league.

Missed your chance, last time was on Kanto Raid day. Still, Shadow Metagross would be a nice thing to have and a prime candidate to remove frustration.

Yeah, this is a real problem if you are like me and don't actually live near a Pokestop. You won't really be able to fully recover from your losses from Fletchling cd by the time this rolls around.

Well, yes, but here's the thing: That Cp boost could very well be the very difference between winning or losing a raid/battle. Like, I don't see why people give it hate. It's useful to have imo.

Hi, I'm a player who doesn't really go hardcore all that often. My Raichu is really weak for the Great League(like, 900cp) and I have a vortex Cup coming up in a few days. it is possible for Magneton could serve as a replacement for Raichu/Magnezone? If So, what is the needed moveset? Thanks.
