I really hope this was enough to win, Shady, but your lack of knowledge is what might drag you down. You have the right to do everything by yourself, of course, but in my personal opinion you need to build with someone who actually knows things you don't or can't remember at the moment. 1) Liquid Voice doesn't provide you with anything, it would've been the same as running Surf on a Torrent Primarina, literally no difference, although there would be some use in Torrent if you were at low health. Scald is always the preferred option on Primarina anyway, with its base SpA it still hits hard. 2) I am clueless why you think about the Black Sludge or Assault Vest on the Muk, but don't say a word about its most common Gluttony+Recycle set. You may do around 50% to it with Earthquake, then it eats its Berry, and there goes your Latias. 3) Your team gets run through by a Tail Glow+3 Attacks Manaphy, from what I see. It washes away Incineroar and Heatran, freezes Latias and Tornadus, and easily 2HKOs an Assault Vest Primarina with Energy Ball. Raikou is the only thing that can take one hit and threaten it away, but that thing also has other things to do. Last week Nappy had a dedicated switch-in in an AV Vikavolt thanks to Nexus' and Joey's advice. You don't have one. Not because you're bad or anything, but because the thought just never crossed your mind. I don't wanna seem all-negative and always criticize your decisions, it's just I don't like it when you say there are people better at Pokemon than you in the comment section when those people are actually your friends from the RUclips community who I'm sure will be glad to help you with building, but instead you just go alone. Leo, Joey, Nexus, Emvee or Wolfe, for example, they are very cool guys who actually know a lot and can provide you with information you otherwise won't get. It's hard to get better if you don't learn, and learning from mistakes is very frustrating. Ask someone to help you out just once, give it a try. I'm certain you'll see a positive difference (:
Shady, you need to not fixate on stab moves!!! This is draft league. Stab doesn’t matter if you get better coverage for your matchup. Ice Beam would’ve been much better on Lati this matchup paired with Tbolt
Shady you say to leave comments but is it for you to look at and learn from or for better looking analytics? Because a lot of people in your UCL vids including myself have told you that level 50 calcs ARE DIFFERENT THAN LEVEL 100 calcs. Also stop limiting Tornadus to U-Turn and Knock Off. Icy Wind, Heat Wave, Hurricane, Air Slash, Grass Knot, Superpower, Sludge Wave are just examples of amazing moves this thing gets. I think you’re being lazy with his spreads and moves.
HashJPN I feel like he’s stuck in a rut. Torn can-and should be having coverage moves like those I previously stated every week. Knock off and U-Turn are good, but Torn-T is not a one trick pony. He has too much unused potential
Tom Monforte But you watched shadys previous videos didnt you? If you did, you clearly noticed that shady already brought a special oriented tornadus one time, so he is aware of that Option(aside from the fact that he considered running heat wave.) Also: Physical Tornadus i a good bring this week as an all around utility mon and potential late game sweeper. Why special? A special set won't do crap to AV muk or AV Manaphy. A physical one however punishes typical Switch ins as celesteela, muk or gligar with knock off. Acrobatics can late game sweep once celesteela is gone and he has good coverage options for steela anyways. While I like ice beam over d-pulse on Lati, I think this is shadys best teambuilder in the UCL so far.
Add taunt to that list, that helps it help itself and the team by stopping hazards (notably rocks), set up, and most recovery. With it's speed taunt is great.
You do so many other draft leagues, you should know moves do more damage at level 50 then level 100, that's what you need to base your calcs off of. There's so many more differences in the calc that way. Also, you seem way to fixated on STAB. Yes, STAB is good, but you also have to think about the coverage you can get to have one of your mons be able to take out two of his. Good luck regardless, but the way Nicks rolling through teams, I don't think you have a chance.
Think I would have gone with extrasensory on the Raikou for his easy Roserade switch in. Only watched half at this point though! Enjoy watching it this way 👍
Official TedCruz I like the trade. Alo is such a terrible set up fodder especially in draft league format. Look at jay's draft: He clearly suffers from having a team that is too set up fodderish
Official TedCruz A regen core can be tough to break for sure. I wouldnt however really consider the torn/alo core a good one because of the electric weakness. Shady never meant to use these two as a regen core for their main purpose anyways.
I don't understand liquid voice, it turns hyper voice into surf you might as well run torrent. Unless your worried about sub that much I think sound moves hit around it. But you could bring scald/torrent for burn/damage and bluff the voice.
Shady be careful with bringing heatran on Latios, it gets surf/earthquake whick it will most likely run earthquake for your nidoqueen, heatran, and raikou.
I find it funny that so many people in the comments are giving him tips on what to watch out for in his battle against Sacred, even though he wont be able to utilize them because he battles him before this vid goes up. #SuperSmartCommentsSection
If heartens leftovers will knocked off anyway just run air baloon. I know its not the BEST item ever but I would make heatran wall celestela completely and give you a stealth rock opportunity.
Jesus people. Back off the man. He has a lot going on. Freaking 8 comments with people saying the same damn thing. Shady,I think your doing great. I always enjoy your content. Keep up the good work, my bro bro.
Those calcs were Raikou hitting Gligar with HP ice. Not Gligar hitting Raikou. Please please please pay more attention to what you are doing in teambuilders Shady.
Shady I think you need to stop prepping last minute. There are so many flaws and missed opportunities in this team and I know you would have caught every single one of them if you waited a day and returned to your teambuilder after that to revise it.
I know you like to build alone but you miss so many thing when it comes to nitty gritty. I hope you reconsider to build with someone else espescially when you are this rusty.
Shady my man you gotta use level 50 for those calcs and ev spreads
I really hope this was enough to win, Shady, but your lack of knowledge is what might drag you down. You have the right to do everything by yourself, of course, but in my personal opinion you need to build with someone who actually knows things you don't or can't remember at the moment.

Yury Valkov how do you have the time to write this little long of a Paragraph
I have never heard gluttony+recycle Muk and Tail glow +3 attack what is it?
Shady, you need to not fixate on stab moves!!! This is draft league. Stab doesn’t matter if you get better coverage for your matchup. Ice Beam would’ve been much better on Lati this matchup paired with Tbolt
Liquid voice doesn't have the 20% boost like pixlite shady 😓
Hey Shady maybe you should get someone to work with you when you prep for your draft
Joey pokeaimmd
Yeah Joey is really good when it comes to team building
Shady you say to leave comments but is it for you to look at and learn from or for better looking analytics? Because a lot of people in your UCL vids including myself have told you that level 50 calcs ARE DIFFERENT THAN LEVEL 100 calcs.

he has used icy wind vs nexus
HashJPN I feel like he’s stuck in a rut. Torn can-and should be having coverage moves like those I previously stated every week. Knock off and U-Turn are good, but Torn-T is not a one trick pony. He has too much unused potential

That Persona background music though - good luck with the upcoming battle Shady!

DaVon Specz glad you said it so I don't have to
Sacred Fire Ni...choles I really thought he would say something else
Jozef Keresturi You're not even lying...
Jozef Keresturi is it weird that I first thought Nihilego?
The music (Before it gets crazy) is Beneath the Mask from Persona 5 royalty free edition
Think I would have gone with extrasensory on the Raikou for his easy Roserade switch in. Only watched half at this point though! Enjoy watching it this way 👍
Also, the music at 23mins is fire!
Don't sleep on hariyama if you need physical. Fake out, rock slide, elemental punches, let alone his fighting moves. And his stats are thicc
Hariyama with assault vest is actually quite scary, especially if he's guts, that's a destruction core
why would you get rid of the Amomolola? I get that Primarina is power but Amom. put in so much work for your team.
It really didn't. Shady has wasted it every time because he doesn't know how to us it properly.
regen core is clutch
Official TedCruz
I like the trade. Alo is such a terrible set up fodder especially in draft league format. Look at jay's draft: He clearly suffers from having a team that is too set up fodderish
Ominous Win i mean yeah you’re right but Axel Dahlman was right. the regen core if used correctly can be unbreakable
Official TedCruz
A regen core can be tough to break for sure. I wouldnt however really consider the torn/alo core a good one because of the electric weakness. Shady never meant to use these two as a regen core for their main purpose anyways.
I don't understand liquid voice, it turns hyper voice into surf you might as well run torrent. Unless your worried about sub that much I think sound moves hit around it. But you could bring scald/torrent for burn/damage and bluff the voice.
lets just hope he put in the attack evs on incineroar xD
i like the team tho, have fun :)
my favourite team builder so far. get that W
You gotta prep for that Muk’s minimize. Swift or areal ace
I think drain punch would do well for coverage on Incineroar and give some sustain
Shady be careful with bringing heatran on Latios, it gets surf/earthquake whick it will most likely run earthquake for your nidoqueen, heatran, and raikou.
Trenton Newman
He won't cause he has primarina
Shady be careful with Heatran against Muk, since it can pack brick break or some other fighting move.
Please use level 50 pokemon when prepping, it makes a difference!
Is that the korok theme from LoZOoT?
i love shady so much he said nicholas instead of negro much respect
Can't wait for tmrw, gonna be a good one
I find it funny that so many people in the comments are giving him tips on what to watch out for in his battle against Sacred, even though he wont be able to utilize them because he battles him before this vid goes up. #SuperSmartCommentsSection
Awesome Video!
Alolan Muk is no joke. I've been using a almost max dmg muk with Aguav berry and gluttony. With recycle its reliable recovery. Be careful against Muk.
Soo
Tornadus is meta everywhere?
You should put an airballon on heatran and tailwind on tornadas
Do a team building with Joey pokeaimmd! Thanks :)
If heartens leftovers will knocked off anyway just run air baloon. I know its not the BEST item ever but I would make heatran wall celestela completely and give you a stealth rock opportunity.
Jesus people. Back off the man. He has a lot going on. Freaking 8 comments with people saying the same damn thing. Shady,I think your doing great. I always enjoy your content. Keep up the good work, my bro bro.
Nice Persona 5 music 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Alolan Ninetales holding Light Clay with Snow Warning to set up for Aurora Veil. Protect and Blizzard run that with anything with Intimidate.
Can someone link me a video on how to get PKhex?? New 2ds xl.
Those calcs were Raikou hitting Gligar with HP ice. Not Gligar hitting Raikou. Please please please pay more attention to what you are doing in teambuilders Shady.
omg he has a lumiose station tab bookmarked
Very offensive bring this week. Hope u win
Nice Persona music!
You got this Shady!
Shady I think you need to stop prepping last minute. There are so many flaws and missed opportunities in this team and I know you would have caught every single one of them if you waited a day and returned to your teambuilder after that to revise it.
Omg all these people in the comments didn’t watch the entire video
Aslo hp ground isnt bad on primarina
Why not use Surf instead of Hyper Voice on the Primarina? It's stronger
NessBlock Bypasses substitute. More handy imo
they do the same damage
Kidusrox Ah I see. I was stuck in the early generations
Flying gem
Ville K unreleased
Bring Rattata no balls
Prepin it up.
I know you like to build alone but you miss so many thing when it comes to nitty gritty.
I hope you reconsider to build with someone else espescially when you are this rusty.
liquid voice is such a useless ability.
It is, unfortunately. If they gave Primarina Boomburst though it would've been an entirely different game (:
