Empoleon

Okay.

And then we have Empoleon.

And-

I'm gonna put Empoleon in A. It's a water steel typing, which is fun, but I already have two water types on my team, so.

That's fair.

There we have-

six.

Originally, my first victory against the Elite Four in Sinnoh, original Pokemon Pro version, it was only with Palkia and Empoleon.

You didn't really need too much.

You had a freaking intergalactic...

I played mostly standard Pokemon with Mega Soba, but standard Great League rankings now.

Starting at number 10, Empoleon.

We should do top 20 and each read five.

Fine, you go first.

And 16 is Thievul.

15 is Florges.

Fourteen is Shadow Empoleon.

Thirteen is Snorlax.

Do we have the Sinnoh starters?

Yeah, we have Empoleon.

Okay, yeah.

Empoleon, Tertera, and, um-

Uh, we got the Unova starters

...

I thought the legacy attacks on all of the Comday Mons coming back was nice.

I think there was a few missing, like Empoleon not getting Hydro Cannon.

That was kind of a missed opportunity there, I feel.

And there were a couple of other ones that I did list down as well.

But no, I did take advantage of like the rewards and bonuses that were on offer and we have hit ace.

So I wouldn't have been able to do that without the extra sets.

But yeah, like you mentioned earlier, like not having all of the featured starters getting their legacy moves and whatever was really annoying, particularly like given Empoleon and whatnot, super meta relevant still.

So yeah, that's my rating.

Okay, your top 12 from day one.

Empoleon.

Shadow Fortress.

Unovan Stungfisk.

a year

early.

34.4% Empoleon.

That 9% were shadow, so overwhelmingly normal.

So I was prepping for Shadow Milotic, which is a little bit less bulky.

So I was okay bringing things like Tinkaton and Empoleon.

Other cores like that.

But obviously, once we came into the meta, Don Dozo was the main threat, and Milotic had disappeared for the most part.

You're going to see a lot of Tink.

A lot of Empoleon.

Since we gave something in the hundreds, I'll let you keep your Thievul pick, but you also got to give us something in the hundreds too.

Oh no, I'm going to the 100.

All right.

So open Great League, we've got Lickilicky, Tinkaton, Altaria, Empoleon, Mimikyu sitting at number five right now, uh, Shadow Altaria, uh, Shadow Empoleon, uh, along with the regular one, uh, Shadow and regular Quagsire, Jellicent, Forretress, and then that sneaky Ninetales, uh, with Energy Ball that I really enjoy.

Uh, but then Cramorant comes in as, like, uh, number 13 in PVPoke.

So you are-

It is all three open leagues.

So we have talked about the Great League top 10.

The Ultra League top 10 is Mimikyu, Lickilicky, Shadow and regular Corviknight, Tinkaton, Florges, Shadow and regular Empoleon, Virizion, Galarian Moltres, Jellicent, and Forretress.

You didn't include Master League?

But what about you, Zedd? What's your team for Weathercarp, seeing as you've been playing it?

Shadow Cradily, Ludicolo, and Empoleon.

Oh, hey, you've got a similar team to me, actually.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, I think for me it was the thought of if I had like... an opposing grass type or like a ludicolo at least i could chip away at it relatively good and then ludicolo was just nice because astonish does wonders it's such a good neutral thing and it counters jellicent really well in this

it does yeah i have to agree with that And then

Empoleon, honestly, was just in the back line because I had no idea what to use as a third, but it was doing relatively well.

At least Empoleon is nice and consistent, and there's not a whole lot of grounded fighting types in this meta.
