Empoleon got directly nerfed, not buffed. Metal Claw has the same energy generation (3.5 energy per turn) as Steel Wing last season, but much less damage (2.5 DPT instead of 3.5) So it's a clear downgrade
though the energy generation will still allow it to throw a lot of hydro cannons when needed. this thing will be a beast once gl remix comes and clears out the competition (feraligatr)
True but the meta around it is far less hostile to it. Counter nerf, mud shot nerf, razor leaf nerf, poison sting and fairy wind buff, etc. Nearly every Pokémon empoleon feared last season has been nerfed out of the meta. Sure now it has to deal with mud slap from the likes of gastro and k-wak, but that’s far less ubiquitous than counter was on things like poliwrath and annihilape
@@jaydog77 yeah and there are what 2 maybe 3 karate chop users, all of which are pretty rare in a meta dominated by clodsire. That’s a far cry from last season where you’d see either annihilape or poliwrath (or both) on every other team.
That dude can be so annoying. He whines about the game all the time and then right after complaining says it doesn’t really bother him, when it clearly does lol
@@edmondYJ poke ak lost his credibility cause 1. He mocked jonkus's german language 2. Calls jonkus's fans as incels 3. Most importantly, yapping about jonkus cheating but showing no proof of it So yeah, he's definitely just crying and bitchin over a DM lmao
Clodsire is the reason i use my shadow rank 19 excadrill with licki and chestnaut in the back. Fun fact you can mud slap down most pokemon by just using 1 shield on the lead
@@SimpleSilentShadow honestly with a fighting lead im kinda fucked still gotta find a good answer for that, but i dont encounter many fighters in the lead to begin with i just really like the excadrill+chestnaut combo
I think i would just let my excadril go down and play it out probably. I am thinking of picking a fairy type instead of lickilicky, but it does needs some bulk

Did you see the poke ak video with baseless accusations about you?
Im actually very excited. Its the Drake vs Kendrick beef this PVP community needs 😂
AK-Dot vs Drakus😂😂😂

Any of it true?
I saw his video and it's just AK's usual bitching and ranting as usual.
Showed literally no proof Jonkus cheating

What to do with a fighting lead

With nearly two frenzy plants banked the opposition was never going to bait lol
Do u have a discord channel?
Played 5 full sets in GL running jumpluff, s feraligator, and clodsire. I got hard countered 22/25 battles 😆
They absolutely gutted my boy because of skarmory’s sins 😒
Yea I spent a ton of resources on empoleon and got nerfed :(
Is there a discord?
The frame drops are absolutely insane...
I went back to waterfall empoleon😅
testing solar beam ho-oh
Niatinc, Give me back my steel wing
was waiting for someone to do this but its trash now
I used Perrserker over Empoleon and it worked just as well
How to get the Greninja badge on your YT channel ?
This team suck. 3 sets 0/5. Constant teams with Altria, or cleanable, swampert, trevenant. It was a brutal waste of time.
Literally all of those mons minus Clefable are not META. What elo are you?
