@@davidcannon671 I honestly can’t agree more with this. I was struggling like never before to hit 2500. I used few teams suggested by other RUclipsrs but they just wouldn’t work for me. Then I stumbled upon this channel about two weeks ago and saw the team of Poliwrath, S Quagsire, and Ferrathorn. I must’ve watched that video 3-4 times. His detailed explanation of how the team works and what to do in different situations was exactly what I needed. No offence to the other RUclipsrs but they rarely go into such detail.
Hey, I was your first opponent in the gligar mirror, ggs. It was funny to hear someone else's plan of action in similar team, I do the same as you and catch the second aerial ace, but I go for double moves, as then I can sneak a full volt switch in case they try to cmp for the second move (and catch aa on zone ofc) Didn't work against you but at least I got a nice patient wait on recording :)
@@KalleSpecialle Yes I remember you, your shadow dnite was very difficult for me to handle. It was a lot of fun doing the smaller side tournament though, with all the spice :D
They both have their merits that depends on your team composition and playstyle. The one I have in this video is more bulk oriented but I have a cmp ape I like to use as well. It all comes down to preference :)
@@karizma512 I wish I was casting this weekend 😅. For skarmory leads, I swap into the ape right away and then play the shadow ball/night slash bait game with the skarm if they stay in :)
Pretty good timing to release it! I already got my legend during fossil cup's first week. But I'm looking forward to try this team tomorrow evening! :D p.s. now that lanturn is not as common and / or is played with watergun, do you think high rank gligar will be better than the lanturn slayer iv one?
Shadow gligar ivs aren't "super" important. One matchup you might lose out on would be beating shadow dragonair in the 2 shield scenario, but other than that, it should be fine.
@@KPine for the purpose of this team tho where its essentially the safe swap, is there a preference for one or the other? I don't have a Licky Slayer but I am searching for one
@@KPine thanks I haven't been playing like I used to do I didn't know ,I gotta pretty good thing going with goodra vig and talonflame I might change out vig tho for medicham
@@KPine I just found an even more monstrous team I lost to earlier it's goodra toxapex shadow feraligator went 9and one at the end today my go to team always when I lose a couple is azu gastrodon and talonflame
Yep! These battles were recorded about two weeks ago but are being released now in preparation for GO Battle Week and the final two weeks of the season :)
Kpine still remains the most underrated GBL channel
@@davidcannon671 All of the support means a lot to me. I appreciate it!

What's funny is I'll watch pokemon go streamers and in chat someone would say, oh there's a new kpine team posted lol
Noooooo the secret sauce is no longer secret
Thanks for the video, K. Great team and always informative in every match up. Keep up the content!!
Thank you!
Another good vid, thanks! I’m gonna try this team on Friday
Thanks!
always appreciate your walkthroughs of all the teams
Glad you enjoy them :)
Very good content, I will try this team for my legend push this season. I'm almost Expert with your Poli Quag team in Fossil cup
Thank you! Best of luck with your legend push!

We battled in Stockholm and you were really good, I remember I was pretty sure you would win both our games but sometimes I gotta have some luck
@@KalleSpecialle Yes I remember you, your shadow dnite was very difficult for me to handle.

Ggs! You played it well :)
Which one would you recommend: an annihilape with better ivs with bulkpoints or one with bad ivs and good chance to win cmp?
They both have their merits that depends on your team composition and playstyle. The one I have in this video is more bulk oriented but I have a cmp ape I like to use as well. It all comes down to preference :)
I like the ape switch for lanturn in the back. Perfect example of a ABC team
Thanks for the upload 😃 allways great content
Thank you!
Great job casting this weekend! Hope you had a blast :)
How do you deal with/Skarmory leads?
@@karizma512 I wish I was casting this weekend 😅. For skarmory leads, I swap into the ape right away and then play the shadow ball/night slash bait game with the skarm if they stay in :)
@@KPine didn't I see you doing your thing at worlds? 😂 I briefly had it turned on for drops and thought I saw you
@@karizma512 I unfortunately wasn’t but would love to be doing that some day! Thanks for the support tho :)

@@matteovalentini4850 I do! While it’s still nice to get the wing attack break point on licki, a higher rank one can come in clutch
@@KPine Time to build a new one then! :D Thanks for the opinion!
Thanks for the video! How important iv is for s-gligar? I only have a terrible iv one
Shadow gligar ivs aren't "super" important. One matchup you might lose out on would be beating shadow dragonair in the 2 shield scenario, but other than that, it should be fine.
Do you run a bulk weighted Annihilape or a Licky Slayer?
I run both! It all comes down to preference as they each have their merits :)
@@KPine for the purpose of this team tho where its essentially the safe swap, is there a preference for one or the other? I don't have a Licky Slayer but I am searching for one
@@Grumpy-Drum As a safe swap, bulk tends to be better
Hi how to do with azu lead?
@@recyzrecys6757 swap to the annihilape right away and throw the shadow ball after 11 counters. You want to invest shields in this matchup as well :)
@@KPine and how about aslash lead?
@@recyzrecys6757 ss lanturn right away
The goat!
Как приятно увидеть новое видео от тебя, которое работает🎉
Would you prefer a high-attack Gligar with a bad rank or a high-rank one?
Generally higher rank so you can beat shadow dragonair in the 2s
What do you do against Water Gun lanturn lead?
Swap into ape after throwing 1 wing attack (to check that lanturn is on water gun).
Thanks for sharing your team. And I know Iv’s dont matter but what are your three?
The shadow gligar and lanturn have higher stat products where the annihilape can be either high bulk or the licki slayer depending on preference :)
@@KPine would 97% be considered a high stat product?
@@SeaDweller43 Sure would!
Crazy! I use the same team except normal Gligar rather than shadow. I’m not very good though, only made it to 2000 ever
@@valheru4646 Hopefully this video/breakdown helps you some :)
Why water gun over spark?
@@philantemalone9675 Because of the spark nerf as well as the rise of quagsire and prominence of gligar
@@KPine thanks I haven't been playing like I used to do I didn't know ,I gotta pretty good thing going with goodra vig and talonflame I might change out vig tho for medicham
@@KPine I just found an even more monstrous team I lost to earlier it's goodra toxapex shadow feraligator went 9and one at the end today my go to team always when I lose a couple is azu gastrodon and talonflame
Damn, this team is done for next season 😭😭 they all got nerfed
@@meanxbean I know 😭 but it’s a needed change nonetheless
Wait, it's open GL ?
Yep! These battles were recorded about two weeks ago but are being released now in preparation for GO Battle Week and the final two weeks of the season :)
Can S-Gligar be replaced for another pokemon?
Unfortunately not, gligar has a really unique typing and coverage
@@KPine can be a regular gligar?
@@jorgecabezascarrera4425 It sure can! Will be a noticeable downgrade from the shadow but can still put in work
@@KPine thank you man, please keep posting videos regularly, you're helping us a lot
Anyone trade gligar?
