Cool to see! I was a bit bummed by the Mega Battle Day.. Only Master? Level 50 Master? My Mega Venu is set up for Great League :D Be more fun Niantic.. ;)
If Megas in both Great & Ultra League would be useless since those tiers have CP caps while Master is limitless. Your Venusaur after mega evolving wouldn't eligible for Great League anymore because of the major CP increase. Not to mention if Megas were allowed in the lower Leagues, you would have to mega evolve an extremely low level Venusaur just to remain under CP1500 cap and that Venusaur would have awful Stamina/HP that it would get smacked in just a few hits. It would have the same ATK & DEF as your current Venusaur but this Mega would have a lackluster HP.
@@esaliikka3168 let's take the stats of the rank 1 Venusaur for Great League. IV spread: 0/14/11 Stats: ATK 121 - DEF 124 - STA 123 CP 1498 - Lv21 If you were to Mega Evolve this particular Venusaur, it's CP will jump from 1498 to 2064 with obviously better stats: ATK 147 - DEF 159 - STA 123. Too bad for the Great League CP Limit So let usapply the best IV spread and level regarding the new buffed base stats IV spread: 1/15/15 Stats: ATK 125 - DEF 135 - STA 106 CP 1498 - Lv15 The difference in ATK & DEF is miniscule in comparison to the drop in STA. This Mega Venusaur would just barely hit harder than the Lv21 Venusaur but takes hits worse and would be knocked out faster by comparison. This same situation applies to Ultra League as well. Master League is where Megas can unleash their full potential even Master Classic and Master Premier where you have a Lv40 Limit but still no CP Limit.
Just stuck to playing Great League with all my sets for Go Battle Day... And man, even down there, it was a fun day. A lot of people, using a lot of spice Picks. Loved it! I was even okay with the losses I took, just because of all the spice. Getting beat by a Dunsparce, is okay with me haha
It was also fun having a Talonflame with an energy lead on Lapras safe switch... Once I threw a flame charge to boost my damage, then rocking Lapras’s world with a Brave Bird lol. Loved that too.
I played Mega Gary and played something like 17 Mega Venu teams and only lost twice, from comments at reddit it looks many trainers with Mega Gyarados had winning records against Venu teams.
That is the tough thing, it can struggle vs some common pairings with mega gyarados. So in the wrong alignment it would definitely be tough. Aligned with the mega gyarados, however, fairly comfy for the venu :)
@@HomeSliceHenry Apart from one loss the only times Venu was briefly in alignment with mega Gary for me I had farmed down the preceding mon and KOd Venu with Crunch. If you get locked into it however on a fairly even energy footing it's definitely lights out for Gary. Appreciated the video though, I might have run Gyarados, but we all love seeing the meta baddie get it's just desserts.
"Bad manners rock slide" made me smile. It's a new concept for me. What other bad manners charged moves are there? Shame on you Struggle? In your face Twister? 😄
I loved the mega master league. Chesnaut had a blast on the lead with Zard Y and Metagross. Decent paired with mega Gyarados and Metagross as well. Hope to do mega battle more I. GBL soon.
I used Mega Gyarados and luckily I never faced off against a Mega Venusaur, Mega Manectric or Mega Ampharos. I did matched with a Mega Altaria with Moonblast but I had my Metagross to deal with that, so my MG was kept safe for that match. Did face many Mega Latias, Mega Gengar and other Mega Gyarados though
Gyarados is still very oppressive with dragon breath so it could beat electric types I think (especially against Ampharos cause it's now a dragon). And it lost its flying type so it's not even double weak anymore. You'd probably be alright facing agains those, it's pretty much only Venusaur and Altaria that wall it
Wow, I faced a ton of Mega Venu (I think around 17 matches). One each of Ampharos and Manectric, but won those despite having mega Gary, felt like they just didn't have what it takes for non-Mega Gary mons in the meta.
@@Johanoist once Mega Gardevoir and the others become available, Mega Gyarados will lose it's standing. Being Dark-type will really hinder it thanks Gardevoir, Gallade, Pinsir, Scizor, Heracross and Mewtwo X. Mega Audino despite being Fairy I doubt would pose a threat and Mega Sceptile being Dragon would be manageable however Bullet Seed + Frenzy Plant/Leaf Blade will pose a significant problem especially if opponent still has both shields.
@@NZtechfreak I was playing in the last hours of the day, so I guess all the MV players were done with their battles early. Maybe that's the reason why I didn't find any
Sadly this just shows the same problem megas had in VGC. Several of them are just so busted good that using a different one puts you at a huge disadvantage because it means you can’t use one of the best ones.
@@HomeSliceHenry I’m happy for them to be included in Master League, but I really don’t want to see them in Great or Ultra. Those metas already have a ton of options without mega pokemon, whereas Masters is mostly stagnant.
Well, i love u and ur job henry, so this comment has absolutely nothing to do with u. (ye its gonna be negative one). what disturbs me ,is that MOST opponents used lvl 40 mon, while our protagonists strictly lvl 50 only. Im pointing this out bcs i am also a player without lvl 50 mons , and played that day. used lvl 40 snorlax and moltres, and my one and only lvl 50 mega gyarados. however competing against 4.5kc p dialgas, 3,7cp togekisses and many more, made my wins SO HARD EARNED. so , as salty as it might sound,I am completely unimpresssed by the featured players. might as well play against 500 cp mons in the 1500 league ^^ Ps: keep up the good content Henry! just point out those wins are super easy since lvl 40 mons have almost no chance vs lvl 50 ones. :D or feature more balanced battles if u had any of those submitted (lvl 50mons on the opponents as well, or lvl 40 mons on the featured trainers as well)
@@BOYGOSGO I'm glad you read it 😁 try the vs 500 CP in great too,I'd love to watch that! Ps: didn't know you make content too, ouch. Truth definitely hurts. Have a nice day 😂😂

zarude is decent, just hard to get to lvl 50 as it is now, and u can actually do some work with roseraed. but yeah, other than that those types are almost non existent at this league
I played one with my Mega Gary team, but they couldn't get alignment and both my other two mons have good matchups with Mega Alt. Was surprised not to see a few more honestly.
@@ducestat06savage99 If those Pokemon weren't being used a lot to counter Mega Gyarados' counters, then Mega Pidgeot would've actually been a smart choice.
lol the way mega gyarados' head is poking through the shield is hilarious to see lmaao
Why do I imagine he's talking smack from behind that shield 🤣🤣
OHHHHHHHHHH YEAAAAAAAHHHHH
Niantic should make shields committed on mega Gyarados unusable before they fix the animation bug
Im' missing my daily dose of " Opponenst sees the writing on the wall and concedes the match" :(
Don't worry, it will return in time! Last few haven't had too many rage quits :)

Man what a commentary 🔥 , first time on the channel and loved it 💕
Welcome to the channel! Happy to have you here :)
Cool to see!
I was a bit bummed by the Mega Battle Day.. Only Master? Level 50 Master? My Mega Venu is set up for Great League :D Be more fun Niantic.. ;)
I'm interested, would it actually make that much of a difference? I know that its stats would change but does mega make it better in the great league?
I'd like another mega gbl day in the future!

Your Venusaur after mega evolving wouldn't eligible for Great League anymore because of the major CP increase.

If you were to Mega Evolve this particular Venusaur, it's CP will jump from 1498 to 2064 with obviously better stats: ATK 147 - DEF 159 - STA 123. Too bad for the Great League CP Limit
So let usapply the best IV spread and level regarding the new buffed base stats
IV spread: 1/15/15
Stats: ATK 125 - DEF 135 - STA 106
CP 1498 - Lv15
The difference in ATK & DEF is miniscule in comparison to the drop in STA. This Mega Venusaur would just barely hit harder than the Lv21 Venusaur but takes hits worse and would be knocked out faster by comparison.
This same situation applies to Ultra League as well. Master League is where Megas can unleash their full potential even Master Classic and Master Premier where you have a Lv40 Limit but still no CP Limit.
@@NarutoBunshin18 yeah im sure he understands that as he stated its ready too be for great league WHEN it mega evolves.
I, for one, appreciated the Mega Latios and Kangaskhan
My god that Ice Beam Shadow Ball Mewtwo deserves every win it has ever pulled off. What a move set
Can't wait to see how gyarados gets destroyed 😂
That was pretty awesome to see Mega Kang. Hopefully we'll see some spice in the Megas.
Agreed
The trainer running Mega Kanga and ML Jirachi is the maddest of lads and I respect the hell out of them 🫡
Facts!

Which 1 Is A Nightmare To M.Gyarados
> Dragon And Fairy Type
> Dragon And Dark Type
> Pure Fairy Type
Mega Gyarados might be a little bit OP, before they give us Mega Master League again they need to release one or two more good counters to it.
I feel that!
I like that trainer with mega kangaskan! The little baby has come out and fight alongside with its mom :)
Such a cool mega!
Lets go Boygos the spice lord and king of the master league

I hope we get more Mega days. So many of them have tons of play. And I hardly saw any Dialga
Me too! It was fun

"Bad manners rock slide" made me smile. It's a new concept for me. What other bad manners charged moves are there? Shame on you Struggle? In your face Twister? 😄
Lollll
I'd say bad manners is any time you throw a charge move that is resisted when you have a better charge move you could throw :)
Best mega for the meta imo

Can you do a Martial Art team in the GL or UL?

I did see the ranking! But after playing against it a few times I left being unimpressed, to be honest. Feels like despite the cp it felt underpowered
Yeah i understand it needs some more bulk if you ask me
The one I wish I had tried was mega gengar. Saw some footage of it and it looks super fun
