@@RixxyBusiness Yeah, I was playing around with some different Zapdos teams yesterday and had Buddy on. It's tricky to run in GBL. The Thundershock Buff helps a lot in terms of viability, but of course doesn't make it a "must have". It's a cool option for Show 6/Grassroots ML with points values assigned to Mons you pick for the team. Being able to play into something like Kyogre-Togekiss Core, while also being able to two shot a Duskmane due to Thundershock Buff is really cool. Pre Buff you needed the Shadow to reliably take out e.g. HoOh, but the Shadow loses 2s to Charmers/Waterfall, which is very sad when Zapdos loses to Kyogre or Togekiss.
Very courteous play at 3:55. He noticed that the opponent got denied their mud slap, so he let them get an extra one for free instead of throwing the second psychic fangs right away.
GGs.. I thought Yveltal had a bit more health and you'd tank the Fangs and reset with Lando. Catching didn't occurr to me in the moment XD Well played!
I ran Zap. It was fun to see it have some play. It seemed more consistent with Zap cannon and helpful. Well, in theory, but in play switched back to t bolt lol..
It’s not that bad at all really, it’s a clone of Ice Beam/Flamethrower/Energy Ball/Psychic (pre nerf & w/o debuff chance). It’s more or less that every pokemon that has it usually has superior options (like wild charge or parabolic charge, for example). Could maybe add the debuff to defense chance (akin to that of energy ball) though in fairness I don’t know if that’s the way to implement it. Thunderbolt has a slight chance to paralyze the opponent, so… wouldn’t that translate to an attack debuff? Idk. Ideally, zapdos would love wild charge (which it learns btw), but lowering the energy cost of Thunderbolt is a risky gambit because… well, Lanturn exists lol
Hundo Zapdos was my first hundo legendary and 3rd hundo overall. I asked around and heard that it wasn't viable anywhere. I guess it's more so now than 2 years ago.
You could try Palkia Lead.. The safe swap needs to lure out Rhyperior. Drill Peck does nothing to that Pokemon. You need to draw it out. That's where Zy-Sol was kind of nice. It lured out Rhyperior without being too obvious I wanted to bait out Rhyperior.
Thanks for shoutcasting my submission HomeSliceHenry! Always an honour! Happy and Merry Holidays to you!
Nice one.
I saw you had zap as your buddy the last day or two! Hopefully one day we'll be allowed to do global trades weve been lucky for a while lol
Oh, and I appreciate the gifts even as a lucky friend. Merry Christmas!

Is this the real ericcssonn or another imposter? 😉

12:04 what a cool looking trainer right here and he played so well wow!
GG pour la game, trop fort

@@Ericcssonn I was so confused about the flamethrower and thought you had double nuke haha, always good to see you in GBL
14:05 Man that Yveltal surviving because of that BB boost
Damn that thunderbolt did a lot of damage to ho-oh
Ive got the shadow hundo zapdos built but I dont have much to run with it due to how inaccessible ML is for a more solo player like me.
Lots of non legendary mons to use - rhyperior, gyarados, annihilape etc.
More often than not they'll need some legendary Pokemon team mates if they want to win though,@@isaacmitchell6901
Shadow hundo zapdos is crazy
I’ve been working on my 15-15-13 Solgaleo for months, this makes me more excited for it. Have less than 100 XLs to go.
I am conflicted on the purified Zapdos. Hundos are awesome but good shadows are also awesome.

So basically any zygarde iv is worth investing into?
Yes
Rare set of all the wins or losses are from the very intense matches... Like it
I love zapdos. Can't wait to see it in dynamax battles
Dmax Zapdos event when??
Thunderbolt is such a disappointing move. Badly needs a buff

🤔 I have a lvl 40 hundo Shadow Zapdos. I should work on building it
Honestly not a fan of any team comp that requires something like zygarde to be plausible
Just build one. A couple of months of routes and a few hundred raids to get the XL rare candies and the Stardust along the way. Easy peasy.
I have a 14/15/15 shiny zapdos… I shouldn’t power it up but like
Zapdos⚡⚡⚡⚡ the O.G
I know he needed bulk, but I still think that zygarde is just not a cool mon
HomeZapHenry
Team instinct unite!
Why did homie purify it?
Prolly have a 13/13/13 or better shadow Zapdos already built, or Zapdos is just his fav mon
Cuz hundo😅
@nakamuraharu5367 Logical theories.
Also a shadow lvl 50 legendary is insanely expensive, at least the purification greatly relieves the XL burden
That way, the trainer doesn’t have to wait till 2031 to actually use the pokemon lol
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL
