With these open master league battles, it's interesting to pay attention to opponent CP. A lot of the pokemon are nowhere near level 50, sometimes not even XL at all.
Thank you so much for featuring my battles. I really love the way you shout cast the videos. I did see quite a few non level 50 pokemon. Thanks for always showcasing videos!
Yeah honestly I felt bad for them but thankfully they were rank 20 and there's no ELO this season so I didn't feel as bad. It's hard to build anything for Open Master if you don't have to resources. I commend anyone who does. I saved passes for months to raid Darkrai. He's my favorite mythical. Much love to you and the channel!
Very high quality battles here. It’s easy to tell when a battler knows their stuff. You clearly have the move counts down and made some amazing catches. Great battles, thanks for submitting!
@@somohooky thanks for your support, it means a lot. It took me a few season to learn counting and catching but it's a massive help when playing high ELOs.
Haven't heard you say "do they know? I don't think they know" when a nuke move is being thrown in a while Hope you bring it back Great content as always
Undercharging the Dark pulse on Zarude to farm down and focus blasting the Mewtwo on the last match was one of the biggest disrespectful slaps I’ve witnessed on your channel lol
Truly a high level skilled player.. Loved the way he played all that match.. Energy management, attck catches, bait move.. This guy is on another level 🔥
2:47 Last time I came across a Zacian was a All Level 50 Mewtwo/Zekrom/Zacian (Mewtwo and Zekrom were 100%) team where Mewtwo and Hydreigon (Level 50, 100% 2 move CD Move), my entire team faced Zekrom, leaving Metagross with several bullet punches worth of Energy, farmed to a Meteor Mash, and blam, bye Zacian.
Fun submission! :D I'd really like to see Darkrai get more play in MLC and ML.. This Trainer went for it: Level 51 :D On another note: "And a special thank you as always to our members here on RUclips. The support you guys provide is absolutely incredible, so thank you guys ohh so very much!" While I as a supporter appreciate the shout out and thank you, I know that thank you by heart by now XD it's an excellent and fine thank you, no doubt about that, but maybe once in a while you could put a spin on it? Spice it up with a slight change here and there? I'm not complaining. Just a bit repetitive is all I'm sayin' ;) Doesn't have to be unique every video, but it would be fun if every fifth video or so it would cause a "Oh, that was a lil' bit different. How special!" Aha moment ;) Not complaining, just an idea/suggestion :)
Oh man absolutely magnificent catch in the first game, catching that focus blast on the mewtwo! Ironically, he lands the same on the opponent's mewtwo for the disrepect to KO. What an absolute Legend! Thanks for sharing Henry!
Love to see this video.. I use darkrai all the time to counter all the mewtwos. But I run shadow ball and focus blast. I also always run thunderbolt on my melmetal for the kyogres and because people don’t expect it
10:45 the yvetal was running feint attack or sucker punch I’m not sure but they didn’t build up to the focus blast so he didn’t call the bait unfortunately Nice video though 👍
Yeah I noticed when I saw the animation for the fast move wasn't dark pules, I knew he didn't build up to the focus blast. Not a bait call so much as knowing my energy counts. But nice catch on the fast move!
Last time Darkrai was in raids I managed to catch atleast one shiny before the temporary time of Darkrai being in raids would have been over for quite some time. Since it is one of the select few mythicals you can raid for, they make it's appearance more rarer than the typical legendary that you usually see atleast once a year in raids, as Darkrai is not in raids ever Halloween season it's like every other Halloween season, as it wasn't in raids last Halloween but the Halloween before that, I managed to catch my one and only shiny that inst perfect but luckily its IVs were high enough that it was definitely worth settling for and maxing out for my shiny Darkrai is a 15, 13, 13 being a 91% but looking like a 93% because of the way it's IVs are arranged probably best possible order of IVs on a 91%! I best buddied and powered up a little over lvl 40 as I didn't have quite enough xl candies to max it out. But considering it wasn't in raids last Halloween season it will more than likely be making a comeback this Halloween season and not only that but also because of the Sinnoh tour around the corner it may also get it's signature legacy move of Dark Void and I hope they make it a significant upgrade to Dark Pulse. That it would already do more than Shadowball before including STAB. Thus with including STAB it may either outclass or maybe be tied to brutal swing Hydregon. Can't wait to raid for more xls to max my shiny Darkrai and switch out it's dark pulse with an elite tm for dark void, along with the legacy sludge bomb it already came with to counter fairies. It's also one of my top favorite shinies as I love that deep purple it's one of my favorite colors as well, it symbolizes rarity while still giving it that same spookmy vibe as it's original red and black color did now the only difference is that the shiny one looks like it can be Mismagius's husband
I usually hate legends I'm any league, even with games because they're over used, even when they aren't used well, but this trainer did, and made it entertaining to watch
I once tried using Darkrai in the Ultra League (not master), met a Zacian in the first lead. I charged up to a Sludge bomb and immediately hit. Bomb. That Zacian gone. Just one hit. And then the opponent resigned.
I really never played open masters before have xls but haven't invested in many mons. But today ran lando incarnate, lugia, dialga went 8 2 last 2 sets. 2 hundos and lugia is a 15 14 15 shiny Matches all l50..Matches are different in L50 world had fun tho
How much stardust should I farm per day as a casual player to max a pokemon in a reasonable time? Atm, I'm catching 200-400 pokemons per day 20k-40k stardust.
That's a nice dust gain! That plus the dust gain from doing sets is nice. I try and prioritize grinding dust from boosted dust events, like triple dust com days. That's how I get the most stardust for my time
Hey Henry, I was watching your silph cup videos rn.. I just wanted to ask whether there’s a way I can create a tournament among my friends.. please reply.. I find that really really interesting
You and Zyonik should pay to be the narrators of the upcoming E Sport of Pogo. Maybe wait to 2nd yr. You both fantastic! But go battle lag horrifying. Sooo maybe bad. But you 2 be the best pair!
@Dreadful Dreadknought togekiss is very difficult to beat if they double shield sludge bomb from Darkrai. You can build up to two sludges vs. Togekiss with Darkrai and fire both if you get the denial or CMP on ancient power
quick question, and i mean no offense by it. but did you have braces on at the time of this recording?? i’ve been watching lots of ur videos lately, but they’re all ur recent/newest uploads. so hearing how you sound in this video really threw me off lmaoooo. all love bro
The fact open ML is just for lvl 40 players and above is just stupid. So many players cant play GBL Because love cup is boring with a small meta and Open ML is only for sweaty try hards. The next cup change cant come quick enough.
@@HomeSliceHenry ikr It's the one league that classic should always be available. Or else no one plays it, that or u get ppl with lvl 40 mons cause they don't know that it's open ML. UGG such an oversight. 😔
The opponent Yveltal at 11:00 had Sucker Punch and not Snarl. That's how NatsuOnPixel was able to call the Dark Pulses and didn't shield Darkrai.
Ahhh, ok. That's what I get for recording on 4 hours of sleep 😅
@@HomeSliceHenry 😂
Bro dude ran out of fast tms XD
@@HomeSliceHenry I have a question. why dark pulse and not shadow ball on darkari?
Dark pulse charges faster
With these open master league battles, it's interesting to pay attention to opponent CP. A lot of the pokemon are nowhere near level 50, sometimes not even XL at all.
Yeah with no master classic, a lot of interesting cps in this rotation!
This is me being level 37 and doing what I can 😂 with underleveled for even level 37 pokes
I've beat xl teams with not even lvl40 pokemon. My ml team is shadow metagross, shadow dragonite and lvl40 shadow mewtwo all with 1 move.
Those are the legit players with the low cp.
Some ppl just have the audacity to use a 3118 CP lugia in the Open ML 😒(I've been victim of having to see that)
Thank you so much for featuring my battles. I really love the way you shout cast the videos. I did see quite a few non level 50 pokemon. Thanks for always showcasing videos!
Thanks for the submission! With no masters classic, makes sense that some people are trying non level 50s in masters. I've tried the same, myself! 😅

You're a champ dude 😭the way you caught the focus blast on mewtwo was amazing. ("1 year ago"WTF!!)
Slice’s commentary has come such a long way and is so hype. Haha. Now my favorite PoGo content creator.
Thanks! I appreciate the support 🙏
“That is a very sad Mewtwo”
I dont know why that is funny, but I laughed very hard at that😂😂
Thanks!:)
Haven't heard you say "do they know? I don't think they know" when a nuke move is being thrown in a while
Hope you bring it back
Great content as always
Thanks! It will return at some point:)
Yeah I miss that too. I play PoGo with a couple friends and we always say this whenever we try landing a nuke!
I'm so happy to see Darkria doing good! Very underrated Pokémon because it's attack weighted. It's like the Gengar of master league tho!
Yeah its cool to see!
Epic team submission and those were some amazingly played battles, catching moves all over the place!!
Agreed!
I love the energy in your vids. Consistent as well. Definitely my go to for poke pvp content.
Thanks! That comment made my day :)
That sludge bomb and focus blast catch 🔥
Awesome counting by the battler!

Amazing catching by this battler! Awesome shoutcasting Henry :)
Thanks! It took me a few seasons to learn move counting but it's a massive help knowing when they're likely to throw on CMP or over farm and throw.
🔥
@@JohnDoe-ww2bm super skilled!
That last Battle ending it with BM was Hilarious...🤣 Loved it
Glad to hear it!
Saw a notification, thought it was a universal vlog but was eagerly surprised to see XL darkrai
Yeah vlog will take a while 😅

Facts 🔥
That disrespect focus blast was dirty. Lol
Facts 🤣🤣
1:30 I can also do that godly switch, except I'd be catching a dark pulse with my Mewtwo.
Glad to see Darkrai getting some love, it’s my favorite Pokémon
That's cool!
Hey my favourite, darkrai✨
Such a cool pokemon!
These opponents will be having nightmares of darkrai for sure

Darkrai doesn't has the bulk to be in any league. But with its attack it gets some nice wins.
True!
Balls of steel, exceptional energy management, and beautiful catches... You love to see it. Well done trainer. 👏👏
🔥🔥

Holy disrespect that BM Focus Blast on the Mewtwo at the end lmao
Gotta go out with a bang, ya know? 😂 I don't BM often but if I know I can I will.

Great to have you back Henry
Thanks! Good to be back :)
that focus blast damage on shadow mewtwo tho.....
Right?? BIG damage
That disrespect towards the end 🤣
MAXIMUM disrespect
That draco killed even my shadow mewtwo lmfao

I really never played open masters before have xls but haven't invested in many mons. But today ran lando incarnate, lugia, dialga went 8 2 last 2 sets. 2 hundos and lugia is a 15 14 15 shiny Matches all l50..Matches are different in L50 world had fun tho
Nicely done!
My all time favourite Darkrai... Great content. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
You can use a xl umbreon as well
can legendry shadow mewtwo , lugia , ho oh come return ??? i need man i dont have any one
Hopefully they will return someday!
@@HomeSliceHenry waiting then 🥺
I just learned watching this that sludge bomb is legacy. I Tm’d away sludge bomb on all three of my darkrai. Wish I kept one
Ah, that's unfortunate!
I have a shadow metweo with 15/14/7 stats is that worth powering up. Frustration is gone too
These catches are unholy, damn.
Glad you enjoyed 😂
Agreed!
Catchin that focus blast what a Play Gg
🔥
what does hundo mean? maybe 100 IV?
It does, yes!
I have a shadow mewtwo with 15 attack(not hundo)... single moved tho...for 2nd charge attack ... should I use shadow ball or icebeam..??
I'm a believer in focus blast, personally
I hope Niantic will Add mega evolutions of Cressalia and Darkrai soon.
Spit out my coffee at 15:05. Quality play, trainer!
Thanks, haha. I don't BM often but if I see the guaranteed opportunity I take it 😂

0:00 My dudes Mewtwo is 1 away from the base IVs for shadow legys.
RIP
Yeah, got an 11/10/10...I was sad but he's still Best Buddied 🥺

Darkrai and Hoopa are the glassiest mons ever in my opinion 🔥...
Glassy but hit quite hard!

Hey Henry,
I was watching your silph cup videos rn.. I just wanted to ask whether there’s a way I can create a tournament among my friends.. please reply.. I find that really really interesting
You can create unranked tournaments with your friends! Using the silph.gg website
high skill gameplay🔥
🔥🔥
I wish Giratina could reach max cp of like 4500. Tina got done dirty.
That would be cool!
I am lv 30 and won 5 match in row with just venusaur(hundo and legacy move),raikou,dragonite.
Nice!
Hopefully darkrai gets the dark void move at some point
I know!!! I really hope it does. It's his signature move if I'm not mistaken.
That would be cool!
Shadow mewtwo and two darks in the back. Is today halloween? (It is actually a really cool team)
Thanks! :)
Double dark goes wrong,its too op
Now why is everyone running dark bird? Looks like algorithm confirm lol
Despite the zacian weakness, its still a beast :)
im always here for the disrespect. focus blast!!
Why I rarely seen anyone using machamp as starter? Mine doing very good in master leuage.
Looks like Darkrai isn't as bad as people say.
It's frail and generally outclassed by yveltal are it's biggest issues. It's not bad, per se, there are just often better options
Welcome back HSH did Yu enjoy ya trip? Hope the wild FL man didn't appear on your vacay
I did, thanks!
That catch on the mewtwo 🥵🥵
Right?? Insane
@@HomeSliceHenry Fac 👍
I have a perfect iv darkrai, is it worth the investment?
Tbh it's more spice then true utility. It's a fun pick, but stronger options like yveltal outclass it
@@HomeSliceHenry I figured Yveltal would outclass, what a shame. Thanks
Charmers can destroy this team.
Yeah a 2 shielded charmer would be tough! Thankfully most fairy types you see will be zacian, which doesn't have charm
Darkrai more like “Frailrai”, haha i know not funny.
🤣🤣
This is seasonof spice... today i met yveltal .... with GUST lol
Oh wow!
Helo buddy always love your videos
Love from India❤️❤️

i take that back lol

Will announce in the community tab when I have details
@@HomeSliceHenry I meant "try"! Definitely not pay! You 2 should get payed! Your both amazing narrators of battle tactics!
Doesn't Togekiss get used at this level, would decimate this team.
@Dreadful Dreadknought togekiss is very difficult to beat if they double shield sludge bomb from Darkrai. You can build up to two sludges vs. Togekiss with Darkrai and fire both if you get the denial or CMP on ancient power
In masters more often then not I see zacian rather then togekiss
Darkrai = badass
Facts 🔥
Yveltal is still way better than darkrai...
100%, it's just cool to see an unused pokemon get some play!
I need 200+ more XL for mine. 😭
Hopefully it returns again in the future!
