Disclaimer: as a GBL legend, I can say that you’ll lose more dust to GBL than you gain since you have to build so many Pokémon for each league

[Norpthalomus]

Small correction- Megas power up the same type MOVES for Pokémon in raids, not the Pokémon type itself. So for example, if you come in with a Mega Charizard Y, your friends will get a Fire and Flying boost to their Fire and Flying attacks- even if they’re on Pokémon of different types.

Meltan is such a great budget master league monster. Free to power up to lv 50 and dominates, shame it wasn't mentioned

As a complete pokemon noob(started 4 weeks ago), I'd almost need a list of these pokemons to watch out for

You're wrong, sir; XL candies are -- by far -- the most valuable resource, given their rarity and their specificity. You can always farm stardust, and if you're decent at GBL, dust farming is easy, but XL candies are essentially a hardcore paywall/stopgap for many; if you're strictly FTP, you will need to walk at least *ten kilometers* with a legendary buddy (excited) for the *_chance_* of farming *ONE* XL. Outside of that, random, nondesignated XLs are quite rare from raids. As I'm sure you're aware, you will need _296_ XLs to fully power up one, and *_360_* XLs for shadows; as they stand, unless you're willing to spend a Rockefeller amount of money in the game, XL grinds in Pokemon Go are Herculean tasks.

8:24 dragon types may not be super effective against a lot of typing, what makes them unique is their resistances. I mean top pokemon of various typings are mostly part dragons (reshiram, zekrom, dialga, garchomp, rayquaza, naganadel (in the future), both giratinas, kyurem, hydreigon and mega altaria) all benefit from resistance to element types.

12:28 what I've found is that when running poison jab and brine, Toxapex (evolved form of marine) performs AMAZINGLY in Great leauge

[rickygardner]

Cresselia is a beast as well, tons of health and defense, decent damage, very hard to take down

[dellithium]

Golisopod is one that I like a lot for taking down the psychic raids. It was especially good for the Hoopa raids

[LuisLopez-qwcd]

I agree with the Megas i rather use it for gaining a lot of candy not raid counter since i rarely participate in raids & i feel is not hard to take down legendary pokemon with the right counters & high level pokemons.

Yoo, i started go on the 18th of February I’m already rank 25 😂. Your channel is fire for new players it’s perfect.

Just got back in after 2ish years it's changed a lot but not terribly. This dragon event is cool and my shadow ttar budy has 1000km walked 😂.

Niantic nevertheless came out with amazing idea in catching Pokemon like Ditto disguise another type of Pokemon in the wild, Zorua disguise your Pokemon buddy. All Villion available to all trainers provided you had internationally friend list. Sadly Niantic came out more and more paid event and in game items I am expecting even more in 2023 later on. 😞

I have a 100% IV Greninja! I hope they put Ash-Greninja in the game this year so I can have an absolute monster of a pokemon because based on one of your previous videos, Ash-Greninja will have an insane attack stat. Just waiting for that beautiful shiny

In this comment section is a guy who supposedly hits Legend rank in gbl and he's giving pretty bad advice about stardust.
I am someone who actually hits Legend every season and my advice is to build two teams for every league. One solid meta and one solid anti meta team. That's how I did it. I'm sitting on over fourteen million stardust at level 43 with a meta team and anti meta team for each league, and can consistently hit legend in every league.
Do all your battles everyday and keep learning. Good luck guys.

Thanks for making this vid this is going to help with raids

[alexhirschfeld]

You can also get xl candy and candy from trading too!

since shadows gain +20% attack, that means shadow rayquaza will have the same attack stat as mega rayquaza. The mega has much higher hp and defense though, and shadow has 20% less def.

[LuckyK]

Also if melmetal gets double iron bash which will be better version of meteor mash then it could have some play in raids

[dblum]

My first ever Rayquaza raid was a hundo. However, during the primal event, I had horrible luck, so it balances out.
