12:40 This is why I like running Shadow Punch and Dark Pulse on Dusknoir. I don’t have a Dusknoir for Ultra League, but a Rank 1 for Great League. Mono type movesets are not great, the extra coverage is helpful.
@@djack8430it shouldn’t be. It’s always been a good move in MSG. It’s dumb they nerf a move just because one mon is busted with it, then the rest suffer
13:32 if you watch it closely that wasn't a cmp tie and roll out doesn't goes through ig because dusknoir lands a fast move and already has that shadow punch which would had kod henry didn't look that
Garchomp in this game with current mud slap would be borderline overpowered unless a fairy was against it. It would make regular and shadow Garchomp an absolute MENACE in every league! Ironic that Garchomp was slightly nerfed this season! 😭
@@Wolf-Marlon23not really. Its records in GL and UL are still completely atrocious with mud slap. Like 7-23 for UL lol. Maybe in ML premier because in even in open master league mud slap only goes from 12-16 to 13-15 lol
@@anthonyiscoolxx I meant specifically damage wise. If you're judging based off of straight lead matchups going 2 shields a piece, then you've already failed my point. There's too many nuances in a real match to judge high dealing damage Pokemon like that. Most people would NEVER run Garchomp in great league, and it's been ranked terribly forever, but it's ironically "decent" down there because of the damage it can deal and it not being as glassy as thought. The Shadow Garchomp mud slap farm down potential is being severely overlooked when you only judge Pokemon based off lead matchups. Poison, fire, steel, and electric are *currently* (ha) everywhere, and mud slap was given a second buff. I've been using Shadow Rhyperior last season and this one which is ranked TERRIBLY but almost got me to expert with Shadow Tentacruel and tapu Koko just because of all the talonflames, ampharos, other Tentacruels, and skeledirge running around. You could basically farm a registeel down with it and dump one whatever came out later. Not to mention multiple ways to run it. Give it FIRE BLAST for the bad manners! 💀🤣
@@Wolf-Marlon23 sorry bud. I’m all for spice picks and trying unique teams and have used tons of stuff in GL after hitting legend and just messing around like shadow Kyogre, shadow Groudon, sh. Mence and yes even sh. Chomp. It puts out a lot of damage but there’s no arguing that it’s just bad in any shield scenario. You’re only possible hope is that you win based on RPS or that you’ve managed to gain a 2-0 shield advantage against your opppnent in the end game. Also, you’re moving the goal posts on your own arguments. The only reason I responded was because you said how OP chomp would be in EVERY league and I all I did was run the sims and say unfortunately it’s still much to glassy for gl and UL and gets outclassed in OML. Thus, why I said it would see more play in MLP at least
I was the trainer at the 10:07 mark. (Virizion/feraligater/excadrill).I lagged on the 3rd double kick, and you threw the move right after. So I fell a double kick behind. That's why no CMP tie was ever made. I tried to call a bait on shadow dusk. At the end, I panicked and threw the charge move, even though I knew my win con was farming you down. GGs
I’ve been running a very similar team of shadow machamp, shadow gator, and skeledirge. Speaking of, you should do a vid on shadow machamp it’s absolutely cracked in the new meta.
The purify dusknoir is ranked 16 vs the dark that is ranked 17 , not only that with the purify u have the chance to have frustation instead of shadow ball and that takes away the mono move
I've noticed that a LOT of Fighting types just lose leads in the Ultra League so far. Your Shadow Machamp, your Cobalion, many Virizion... yeah, tough for fighters in the lead.
@@sidewalkfantasy88 Can be difficult but have worked around most I've seen so far. If they switch into say Drapion I usually go Dusknoir (sometimes chipping first with Clef depending on how initial match had played out) and between Astonish and a usually unshielded Shadow Ball can bring down to around Swift KO range and then work from there. Since most don't carry Sludge Bomb it's not too bad for Clef at that point. Double dark/poison of course is nigh on unwinable.
I was going to level up a Lickilicky at some point to Ultra, but if it has a damage output problem, I wonder if waiting to see if they ever bring out a shadow version would be worth it?
When you’re saying XL dusknoir. Is that simply because it requires XL candy or is the mon being an XL size important. Does the size of the mon make a difference.

Because they're more impactful. Slow charging fast move with lots of damage gets 20% dmg buff from being shadow e.g. old shadow Victribel with Razor Leaf
6:10 nice drapion u got there
HomeSlice is so awesome though he secretly predicted the third
9:50 “The double kick will always go through.” Bro forgot that Niantic has 50/50 one turn bring in.

Dusknoir is the Gripper Pokémon.

Gorilla grip pokemon
That's crazy

If garchomp would have gotten mud slap this season it would have been so good in the ultra league with all these poison types running around.

"...can beat just about anything"... my thought "what about Lickylicky?"... proceeds to meet Lickylicky 😂

Dusknoir finally is a viable pick in a competitive format
Peak has been achieved!
That battle could be a victory, you only had to tap on your Shadow punch because it wasn't a CMP, and at that HP i think it would K.O Licki.

My rank 8 shadow Dusknoir has been pretty good (clef, shadow Blim, s.Dusknoir, all new level 50s - Rip dust)
Dark poison do what to your team? Asking for science

12:29 as soon as he said that i knew what was gonna be in the back 💀
Ive been using it on lead with licki closer and tentacruel SS. Keep it on the down low though I am a FIRM believer that Dusknoir is now a UL staple
Henry, do try running Gholdengo too. It has a massive attack stat and Shadow Ball from Gholdengo just hits different
“Dusknoir just dusk not care!”
nice there, i like it.
I have never seen such a punish as the way dusknoir loses the 2-0 shields against a licky 😂
I literally built this team yesterday from scratch. Great minds think alike!!
12:34 Shadow Dusknoir Up two shields can just about beat anything in meta, and in comes Lickilicky, Ah sad how short happiness lives right! 😅
Yea astonish right now is really good, widely unresisted damage going hard
They should give dusknoir access to focusblast since it can learn it through TM in BDSP.
I was going to level up a Lickilicky at some point to Ultra, but if it has a damage output problem, I wonder if waiting to see if they ever bring out a shadow version would be worth it?
I have the perfect pvp iv Dusknoir, but not enough xl candy
Halloween is right around the corner.
Same but non shadow
What do you think about running dark pulse instead of shadow ball? I tried it with shadow ball and got walled too many times.
When you’re saying XL dusknoir. Is that simply because it requires XL candy or is the mon being an XL size important.
Does the size of the mon make a difference.
I have the regular version is it worth leveling up ? Is ranked 62 on pokegenie
Do you think the shadow is a more sound investment than the normal Henry?
Yekai's team is made for this team :0
Seeing some content creators saying that they're getting tired of the Clodsire/Feraligatr meta. What are your thoughts?
I enjoy it. Clod and gatr are strong, but not required to have success
Gatr being as strong and flexible as it is, means that far fewer games are decided on alignment. There's a lot more ability to play out of bad situations
Can you feature Galarian Moltres please?
On it 🫡
@@HomeSliceHenry GOAT 💪💯❤️
I do have a great PVP IV Galar Moltres and I love Galar Moltres but with wing attack Nerf and the mons in the current meta, Kind of hard to use. Great players could make it work though.
Great bulk, Great Charge move, majority Bad match up.
You didnt realize G Moltress has sucker punch which was buffed this season?
@@hankocpharung1383not that good moves but usable
You should use dark pulse instead of shadow ball it’s better coverage
I can never get any good shadows worth ultra league potential or I have to purify it which i dont.
That bait call from the Dragonite made me puke
Wish I had a good iv shadow and the XLs
Screw IVs man I build my 98% shadow, no regrets
HSH with the content. +1 mons I'll never use because powering mons in this game is bloody ridiculous.
Run it ABB with mono ghost giratina-0 or no balls
Why are you only using shadow Pokémon’s for all the new move buffed videos?
Because they're more impactful. Slow charging fast move with lots of damage gets 20% dmg buff from being shadow e.g. old shadow Victribel with Razor Leaf
Don’t know if I’ve been mispronouncing its name but I thought it was “dusk nor”.
Noir is French for “black”…pronounced more like “no-ahhh”
tiredslice my fav pogo player
Shadow Pokémon are suffering
mud slap and astonish feel like old charm, i dont like it tbh
why sravhdo PvP win gengar
Give me golurk
All n all
The normal types are very much enjoying the past 2 videos Henry...
