For real though. I love Dan but he’s such a dick to people for no reason at all who knowingly admit BEFOREHAND they made mistakes. My only pet peeve with him.
Licki into drifblim is not comfortable without shadow ball. You need to go down multiple shields to maintain switch. Gator response was the correct play at 7:40ish. Edit: it’s crazy how many casual players think gator needs a nerf, it’s flexible and rewards skilful, non-RPS play. Not as neutrally dominant as other common picks like gastro and zygarde, and can’t just 2-shield through matchups like buffed steelix or primeape. Gator is common because it’s accessible and has high utility. What do we value more, a healthy meta or change for the sake of change?
My issue with Gator is it has decent bulk for how spammy and hard hitting it is , Greninja is more in line with Morpeko for spam and bulk , I feel it has too much play in the leagues it's legal in and can even win matchups that are unfavorable due to spam nukes and decent bulk , I argued shadow claw maybe should get an attack buff and an energy generation decrease
I agree. Gator is fine as its easily countered and rewards good energy management. If you want to nerf Gator, or anythiing for that matter, dont nerf the pokemon but rather buff its counters...
Thanks so much Dan! Everything here is so valuable. It’s nice to sometimes have what should be obvious things pointed out that went right over my head. I’ll keep that in mind for Annilape. I really need to learn alignment and typings better for sure. Also sorry about the editing at the beginning haha
Feraligatr needs a nerf (sorry, but it’s busted). Unless you have a hard answer like Poliwrath or Tenta you are going to struggle. Yes, Virizion can win, but it’s not a super comfortable win
I agree it's too strong but with the moves it has, nerfing it would nerf a whole bunch of other pokemon that don't deserve it.. if rather see them boost some grass types up to keep it in check
@@arcadeguy781 no it isn’t he loses to so many Pokémon I never have trouble with him unless alignment is an issue and it’s the end of the game and they just randomly pulled out and I didn’t know they had it
GBL might as well stand for Gatr battle league cause you can't do a set of battles without seeing at least 3 of them 😂
First opponent, "heylookitspoop"😂
Dan if you make the wrong play: "Yeah I don't know about that"
Dan if you make the right play: "Yeah I don't know about that"😂

@@kevinlavoie8248I say nerf ice beam & crunch
@@arcadeguy781 Ice beam and crunch nerf hurt Azu and Drapian more I think
I agree. Gator is fine as its easily countered and rewards good energy management. If you want to nerf Gator, or anythiing for that matter, dont nerf the pokemon but rather buff its counters...
I mean..gator cant even beat Typhlosion which it should hard counter? Also cant beat primeape...it think its perfectly fine tbh. .
Dan: “Good, now you have the option to do whatever you want.”
*player uses a shield*
Dan: “I don’t know if I would do this.”
🤦🏻♂️

I’ll say Annihilape will be the big ticket at the Reginals!
Thanks

Yeah Shadow Claw! Lol so we lost everyone else! Lol
@@alfiesmullet1311maybe nerf crunch and ice beam instead of shadow claw.
sloanimated is bunsss
Good team. But the feraligator shouldn't be able to beat it, counters.
Dan, wishing the best at the Toronto invitational.
Feraligatr is busted. That’s the problem
