PokeAK, I’m going to be honest and say that I didn’t believe you when you said there was an algorithm but looking back at my past season win rates, they’ve all been around 50%-54% win rate. I am now fully convinced that you are indeed correct. Thank you for making these videos, it helps us people realize things that we just don’t want to accept is true
You can still hit legend with that rate. Tho. I hit legend with a 42% win rate. With no help or nothing
@@knlqhtmarethe point is it should be randomized with no algorithmic input or tailored bots against you or even for you. If you lose constantly I’m sure you get handed wins, so it keeps everyone mid level. It’s the communism of gaming, the bottom is lifted and the top is dragged down.
@@calhimself737 it suck Inow but can’t always blame the algorithm that you can make to where you want to make it. I get heated too when the game throws me RPS like 15 matches in a row. Like what’s the point but I still find a away to hit legend
@@voxveritas7941 oh I’m very aware the system is working. It was introduced in the halo online days to force players of the same skill level to compete against one another. Your problem in Pogo is that it can be turned on and off for specific people and also rare items are locked behind the wins. Complete manipulation. Every match should be random.
@@calhimself737well said
the biggest scam with go battle is you will get these matches with 2 to 3 hard counters each set, then once you get to a certain ELO they hammer you back with 5 hard counters.
no matter what team i choose, theres always a perfect counter to it :(
I can pick the coverages for my team but it’s always what I’m weak against in the perfect order no matter what I do
That always happing.There is no perfect team. In this game
Allways?
@@trapz6342 youtuber always shows you the good set 3-5 wins
They never shows you the 1-4 or maybe even 0-5 run
@@knlqhtmaredefinitely there is no perfect team everyone with common sense knows that but i mean i wil go 5-0 with same team and absolutely get fuc*** up in lead swap and close for next 6-7 battles it should be 50-50 but i get fucked up almost every time i mean its not possible from any way to win untill opponent exits or lags
I ran Fini lead for 4 sets- No dragonite
I switch to Greninja lead- Almost every game was a dragonite lead
Coincidence
Yes, this is the most obvious evidence for the algorithm
It’s crazy how you encounter different teams the moment you switch teams. I wonder why that is🤔
I had an amazing day yesterday, 4 or 5 win sets, it felt so good. Today of course my ass was algorithmed to hell and I lost all the Elo I gained because suddenly I was facing teams that were set up perfectly to hard counter mine. So boring and predictable.
you know its bad when you make an adjustment to your lead or team in general, and call out what youre gonna see on the lead vs yours lol
Two points - the algorithm does in fact know charge move and blocks effective moves and swaps out instantly if the Fast Attack will cause super effective damage (yes, the bot knows ALL the moves of all your Pokemon). Secondly and not sure if this is already known but constantly being out-run on charge attacks because your fast attacks are also increasing the bot's charge level. Seen in standard training and GBL to the point where the opponent will ALWAYS get the charge attack before you.
Poké, I love you putting your foot down and clapping back. I’ve seen so many times you bring something up and then other creators take it and reframe it as their own. The trainer club is crazy for that one. I love you bringing the content even though Go Battle League is so broken
On a different note… You posted a video literally hours ago about Kyurem and its two forms / how Niantic will go about it and what happens? Billy from Trainer Club copies the video with the thumbnail. You always seem to be right and speak the truth. This is why you have become my favorite POGO content creator
I peeped that, too. I always knew he was a slave for either pumping out long-winded content just for getting the threshold for ad revenue or click bait titles with wrong info, but to copy & paste?! Come on, son.
He did mention that at about 9:28 lol
@Hell_6090 and I'm glad he called him out by name. Let's see how the trainer club's fan boys cape for him then. 😒
@@Hell_6090I typed this right at the beginning when the video started lol
That one wild Charizard with Dragon Breath came absolutely outta nowhere 🤣🤣🤣
It be like that lol
hi poke ak, i was just curious if it is just me who is experiencing, when you are about to win, suddenly your the battle will lag, and you wont be able to attack or fire a charge move, then you lose the battle. after the battle, the app is not lagging again. its kinda fristrating, it feels bad, and its a littlebit fishy
It happens to all of us it is pretty frustrating, usually happens to me when I’m at a high win streak
Yeah i’ve had that happen before too. It’s incredibly suspicious. I’ve also had the game force close on me when I’m about to win, and then once i bring it back up, it counts as a loss. And wanna know a thing? It ONLY does this in times where I’m about to win, and often when i’m on a really good win streak. Yeah, ohhhh yeah definitely NOT a coincidence. There’s just no freaking way. GBL is rigged. straight up
i made a little googling, and it seems that lag to opponent can be induce by scrolling up your screen. it happened to me again, when i flipped the position, suddenly it lagged again inspite of long time great internet connection, to find out that my pokemon has been defeted after the lag and their few moves advance after.
i dont want to waste my time to this shit anymore😂
Thanks!
And thank you 🙏🏽
I ran a Tapu Fini lead in UL and won the first 4 matches. For the next 13 matches in a row I faced poison or grass type pokemon in the lead.😊🙃🙃
Looking forward to this rant because I've been experiencing this "counter algorithm" also.
More often in the open leagues.
@@voxveritas7941does Niantic at least use lube or do they pound you dry?
@@Gon2Pasalacqua-zd2byis that your last name? If so might be the first I’ve ever seen someone with the same 😂 (Mines spelled Passalacqua)
Gotta love when you go on a 8 win streak and your altaria comes up against a wigglytuff
Love the down to earth approach, and also loving the rants. Alot of the rants is something i always complain about to myself as im playing and refreshing there is at least one creator willing to make 'real' videos on issues or opinions, if the algorithm wasnt soo obvious or counters too perfectly, it ruins to whole fun out of the game, but i still do love the game in general.
I recently started playing Pokémon go in July. I love the PvP, but I noticed this after playing for two months. It’s just feels weird. I understand that there is no such thing as a perfect team. But they way the battles play out sometimes is way too convenient. AND it’s almost like we can tell which battles those are. You can actually FEEl that something was off or weird about. Not a normal loss. I’m so glad I found this video, I thought I was just going crazy.
It sucks to drop so much stardust making a creative team to be hardwalled at 50-ish %
match rigging in pokemon go is way too aggro
Welcome to the Poke AK Club, here we goooowww!
Best part of the day is taking a fat toke and seeing poke ak just uploaded
I appreciate your honesty. There is so much fake shit out here so I respect Poke, never change homie
Last season in UL I was leading Excadrill with Tentacruel and Waterfall Primarina in the back. 90% or more of the teams I faced would safe swap Giratina. After seeing that for the 100th time I put Charm on Primarina. I saw 0 Giratina swaps from that moment on. Every single one I saw was on the lead all of a sudden.
There’s a very simple solution that could end the algorithm talk. Either match players up BEFORE you pick your team, or make a fair algorithm that always finds neutral leads. Then whoever swaps out first can only blame themselves if they’re countered in the back
I've seen so much evidence that there is a moveset algorithim. Note: Niantic HAS a match making algorithm. Multiplayer games HAVE to have one. You couldn't have a game without one. You have to have a manner to match a player against another. On the surface, GBL has one that matches ELO. That's no big secret. You don't see rank 1 going up against legends right? So there's already an algorithm in the works that you all see. The game MAKES SURE to not let two specific players match up already and you all see it. So to say that Niantic is too dumb and have an algorithm is clearly moronic. It's a computer game. It HAS to be programmed to do what it does, it doesn't just make up code as it goes. I've seen in video and in self experience that there are bots AND an algorithm. Example: if you tank your elo to like 1000 and you'll notice along the way you'll face bots. You'll start a match and not tap at all (cause you're tanking your matches) and you'll see the other "player" doesn't tap either. Why not? They're team is cp1500, so they're not tanking. But the very milisecond you tap, THEN they tap. Or you'll sit there an nothing happens. And the second you tap, your mon dies. Not because the other "player" tapped. You can see no fast move was thrown. Your mon just dies because YOU tapped. So this is how Niantic can prove there is no algorithm (which they can't, but this is how they'd have to surrender). You have to build your teams BEFORE going into the GBL. Then have the GBL match players. THEN you have to pick your team from the teams you've built in the party tab just like raids teams and such. Sure they can do it that way. That's how raids work. You start the raid and THEN you can build a team after everyone is already in it will they prove there is no algorithm that matches you on movesets so you're forced to stay at a 50/50 win ratio which to anyone who has taken a college level statistics class, that's impossible. You can't have 99% of players with a 50/50 if its truly random. It's literally impossible and NEVER happens in a system that is truly random, even with the elo match making restrictions. So when you add all that together, you're only left with the evidence that supports it is not random at all.
I come here for group therapy after getting screwed in go battle league.
I’m not the best battler, can’t count very well…but god damn.
Ran a team one day and KILLED!
Next day…team wasn’t worth a shit.
How?…how?
It is true that there is always a combination that screws you, but getting matched to teams that make no sense competitively that completely counter you? Well... there's definitely something
EXACTLY THIS!! Been sayin this since the beginning
@@tomparlo3141 first 3 gl of go battle day I got matched to 3 leading defense deoxys in a row, guess what was in the back? An ice type (I was running fighting double flyer ABB)
@@rosshound2817 It's funny cuz u can literally predict the mon in the back in most cases, cuz it's always the one u don't want to face and with the particular moveset as well. I have called out loud to myself what mon they had before they even showed it,.. multiple times..
The algorithm is 100% the reason why I don't play GBL. It's not worth the hassle IMO
I tried recommending your Champion Blue team Pidgeot, Blastiose and shadow Alakazam. When I had on the lead Pidgeot and I get electric encounter and even I swop Blastiose and I get Grass types and Giratina. I guess the business corporation doesn’t seem like my team and hate it. So, they throw algorithm at me for no fun. 1-4 and 2-3 win is all I was getting being spicy loser.
Such a valid point. It does suck that the Trainer Club was “inspired” by your content but not giving you credit is a scummy move.
I swear this algorithm is ganna be the death of me. 1,2,3,3,0… went super down. Always ACE…
Not alone dude.
Tried telling this to my co worker months ago!!! He said I was just a sore loser and didn’t have “skill”. Now he’s in the same boat and understands the struggle
What the crap is this comment.
F the algorithm 😅😂
Oh boy! You get ready for go battle days this weekend that XL Rare candy 🍬 is going to be so hard to get 😅
Whenever I have a set that’s all rare candy I know I’m in for it
@dontmindme4197 lol.. get absolutely wrecked!😆.. my 10-0 run team gets steamrolled into oblivion
Hey Poke, I just wanted to say I appreciate your content. Just recently came back to Go since 2016....played for a few months and dropped it. I'm not sure why. However, I am really enjoying build9jg teams and trying things. Don't know much about classes and things yet, but I'm learning. Your vids have definitely helped, so thank you. Really enjoy such a straight to point type of video, and being able to call it how it is with other creators and Niantic and so forth. Also, I was stationed at Fort Wainwright, AK, for almost 10 years. I'm glad to see AK having some content creators getting gaming content out there. Keep it up, sir!!!!
I started using ursaring in ultra league as a spice pick and it did surprisingly good with trailblaze. I haven't seen anyone make a video for it in ultra so it would be nice seeing a video showcasing it.
Had a great day on Wednesday all positive sets with 3 of them at 4-1 and landed at 2497 ELO. I was like, ok just 3 points away from Veteran just need one more positive set ... used same team and went 1-4, 1-4, 2-3, just could not catch a decent lead and countered at safe swap so I just raged quit and just took a break until the weekend.
Same. Was 30 points from vet and next day 80% bad leads and hard punished swaps. It's programed to do this. The intention is to keep you grinding. If you reach higher ranks to easy you'll spend less.
same, I reached 2489 4 times and every time I failed the decisive set for the veteran, it's frustrating...
18:26 well that escalated quickly lol
I’m pretty sure a lot of people twitch stream have baby accounts so they can trade between them.
Believer in the algorithm here. First time hearing about the back pokemon move set theory so I tried it on a fury cutter/cross chop barbarcle
Result: Hypno, Cofagrigus, Wigglytuff.
(Disclaimer: no, barbacle was not on my actual team lol I pick my team within a 5-6 sec timeframe to dodge the algorithm updating on it)
The trainer club lol 😂
Appreciate you always being a real one poke always telling us how it is
9:28 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣 that’s wild lol
I had a 50 match non losing streak... Officially it's 34 now, but I've tied one game at the 16th match.... Unfortunate that it breaks the streak
It's the opening line for me🤣
I just happened to experience something new in battle league today, it started off fine and the opponent switches leads, I switch to counter then my game just closes by itself, I log back in and anytime I try to go back into the battle the whole screen just freezes, I could still do everything else ok. When the battle actually finished I could go back into battle league, not sure if this is some sort of new exploit but first time encountering such nonsense.
I love it when you rant on conspiracies and anything. Wouldn’t mind seeing a colab vid.
just played shiftry medicham and sabley. everyone had a charmer and some times 2..
Yeah been a firm believer for a while shortly after watching your pvp vids a couple years ago. Especially when the old premium track had the pokemon encounter first, I could see the algorithm was a means to try to push people into the premium track if they wanted that easier encounter chance. Even with the premium track changed to mirror the FTP version no reason not to change it. Not the first time I heard companies doing sketchy stuff like this, like a game with PTW elements intentionally matching PTW players vs FTP players at a higher rate to get people to spend more or play more to compensate.
When I was still fairly new to the game and wasn’t on YT yet, i’d sometimes go with the premium pass and ALWAYS fail miserably. However, the normal pass would be ok (ish). I never select the premium pass for the gbl now. No way, no how!
Also, my last raid shiny was a Turtonator on September 15. Shiny-eligible mons I've raided since then: 2 more Turtonator, 2 Galarian Mr. Mime, 20 Genesect, 14 Shadow Zapdos1 fled), 20 Raikou, 9 Entei, 6 Suicune(1 fled), and now 4 Guzzlord(1 fled) no shinies. I've never gone this long without a raid boss shiny in terms of amount of time. 77 raids over 4 weeks and multiple different bosses to no shinies is almost as bad as the one week i spent doing 85 raids for the shiny Altered Giratina and 17 for shiny origin form, never got either. 2nd acc got shiny origin form on the 2nd raid. I'm about to quit. All this grinding and raiding, getting nothing I'm going for while newer/casual players do and hackers are team rocket hunting with a spoofmobile to no consequence. They need to focus on what's ACTUALLY "fair" for EVERYONE
Hey man. Just wanted to say thank you for speaking on this issue when nobody else will. A lot of us don't have a voice, but we're every bit as frustrated as you are.
At least you know it’s real when you beat them so bad they stop attacking🤣
I seriously wonder how anybody can play this game's horrendous PvP on their own free will without breaking things.
This game's PvP system is the worst ever conceived and should be taken out of the game.
How do I get my account off of hard mode ?
@@AdventVFX then how do some RUclipsrs reach legend and stuff? I hav a theory that if u spend raid passes for the better reward track that u get less hard counters but idk
@@user-xv1sr3uy7p18:22
Oh I had to look up what video he made and as soon as you said it, I seen the thumbnail.
I commented this on another video, its absolutely insane that the only reliable thing about GBL is the algorithm.
I think that there are some legitimate content creators, but I have seen them using exploits in their content. The one I’ve seen more than once is where their battle goes in slow motion. The dude talks at regular speed, but I can see the screen going in slow motion. No wonder he can bot-swap. It’s not enough that he wins lead, swap, and close. He gets extra time to react. That’s just what I’ve seen. I have no doubt that they get to see team makeup, attacks, etc. And since the game is essentially pay-to-win, they are on the “win” side while we scrubs are stuck in pay-to-lose.
They should just do what VGC does and make it so you have to have 6 Pokémon in your party, you have team preview on and you only pick 3 of the Pokémon you’re going to bring, that would eliminate the feeling that the "algorithm” is ruining your game and adds skill back into it
I stopped playing go battle because of the algorithm. Why would I waste my time playing rock paper scissors with a game that knows what I will choose every time?
You got a shelter for the zombie apocalypse too? 🤣🤣🤣
I hate how much damage not very effective moves do
At least 50% of the time it's fun 😂 if they made rewards that you got from gbl more available elsewhere I'm sure not that many people would play this rigged mode
Bro I run gyarados in the back and ofc the next sets are double electric like wtf
Gotta say Ak, this is the most mellowest rant I’ve ever seen or heard, good shit my guy 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 you love to see it
I feel like I am playing this game for nothing
100% algorythm! Hard countered no matter what team i pick
Every PvP game has some kind of match making program to pair people together. Whatever the specs are on that is up to the developer. Also if stardust is the single most important thing in the game and go battle league is the best way to farm stardust, it's safe to say there is an incentive for people to create farming bots, like they do on almost every game since bots were created. Gotta have stupid people tho, so we can have smart people.
Do you have any tips on how to get rare candies because I want to make my zarude level 40 with dual moves for the master league but I am just struggling with candies.
I wanna hear an opinion on the effect of STARTING elo. Cause if you start at below 19 i believe getting to vet is nearly impossible compared to someone who starts at 21 ish. Just such a big push nearly impossible to have a few PERFECT days in a row that it would take to get that kind of push. Any thoughts ?
Every gaming app has its own algorithm. No surprise in it. A common gamer will never understand it. Just need to accept it happens. It so being. One want to win all the matches.
I want to face random players with random pokemon.
I think that if they'd update the move pools, it'd help with the bots tryna make them think, but bottom line- there still a solidified meta inside of go battle league/vgc that has been HEAVILY botted in the community.
Niantic even coming out does show the point your expressing of them not explaining. (Cuz they wouldve had to announce other problems that have been leaked that they NEVER express.) [Or haven't outright!]
Btw, I was playing ultra league at your same rank, 2250-2350, Used golisopod, walrein and steelix (no ezq) got a 9-1. Next set? 0-5, all losses -_- Kept playing, got that to happen again after a bunch of barely negative sets to balance out xd
Tbh I want go back in my early stages of playing Pokémon when it was balanced now after playing so much go battle league I can’t go one set without trash algorithm double countering or triple counter my whole team
I swear the second I hit rank 18 I just got hella full counter
That happens to me too
Bro i got so pissed the other day
My knee was busted so i couldnt go get lunch and had to order delivery
I ordered it at like 11am, to be delivered at 1pm. The fucking pricks waited til 12:50 to cancel my order, it kinda ruined my entire day
Here’s a random thought that my friend came up with. I feel like the top battlers deny the algo because everyone uses the same shit in those higher elos. They see the same teams mostly so there’s hardly any room for rng.
Poke AK on the verge of his villian arc
Poké AK, the voice of the people! Or shall I say, people with a brain lol Keep doing what you're doing bro. You have PLENTY of people who are at your side.
Dope vid Ak, and unload the rant my fiend
I agree with you on the Algorithm, PokeAK. Because I never reach to Ace Rank or Legend Rank. I always end up at Rank 18 or 20. And I'm stuck where I'm at.
Last season it had happened to me
Bringing the HEAT!!! I love to see it
same to me, every single time I changed my lead, the opponents just showed up with hard counter to it
I’ve thought about starting a second account just so I can finally do some trades but that’s way too much work just for some candy
Our whole life is in a algorithm in this system we created...how hard would it to be to use in a game? Not hard to fathom from. I agree with you AK on everything, including about the Trainer Club
Awh my favorite topic the best. Got love that casino slot machine rigging
I just caught a shiny Guzzlord from my very first raid.
The realest. Love you poke.. You're not crazy.
If they decrease the energy cost for shadow force giratina would be really good
It would be broken beyond everything. Bulky, spammy and with a nuke move.
No audio
rant you sweet, stoned trainer! I know the feeling around 11 pm when you're just chilling, I have little to no social media, but I know that bleeding algorithm is screwing me after going 9-0 and then 0-6 and losing more on the last round. it's kinda stupid to proceed when you know the algorithm is effing you in the A. but what are you to do? not do all your.... wait, yeah, don't do all your battles for a day if you're on a negative streak and just leave it for the day. This game hates us players.
sorry, next TWO rounds, didn't count to 25 but I can count to potato
I told myself I’m gonna start a AK video and I’ll get a shiny guzzy boy remote raiding and boom, second raid shiny. 4th raid total.
It kills me people think PVP takes skill, it only takes luck. Period. There’s very few scenarios it takes any skills. The algorithm is 110% real. It exists in all online games from PC to cell phone. I just got back into PVP today only cause the dust rewards today but I just expect the BS and I’m only doing it for the dust. Anyone who denies the algorithm is a sissy ass trying not to make niantic mad. That’s why we appreciate you AK.
SPEAK THAT TRUTH POKE!!!!
You are the reason this games cool enough to f with
Your right bubba you do use your time in this and it should be respected and not mocked by Niantic everyday and by these bots and cheaters getting to legend and selling these accounts on RUclips
Gotta love the lag in the GBL
There is an algorithm point blank! And yes agreed those other content creators are definitely easy mode! I don’t get why people praise them 🤷♂️ homeslice isn’t even that good 😒 he uses basic meta and one mon with a different move and calls it spice!
And morons look up to that 😂 💀
This title is nasty work but it def made me giggle lol
even sitting around a 58% win streak i still don't believe in an algorithm simply because i can run the same team all season and yeah i do see similar teams multiple times but i'm always going up against different pokemon and leads and safe swaps.
dude!!
the algorithm is out of control.
Ngl I feel you about the algo and trainer club
