Why is it that in cups I’m able to get up to about the 2300’s in elo but once open great league comes I drop sub 2000’s. It feels like open is filled with lickilicky and certain mons over and over again and I can’t find a good counter.

I need help but Silph arena will not let me post

From what I’ve seen throughout forums and from the Pokemon Ive gathered so far, it feels like grass types are mainly far out of the meta especially this season. Do you believe they will get a boost either in energy generation or move pool for certain mons in the future? I started playing again recently so I don’t know how relevant grass types have been in the past, but it certainly feels like they need a boost now.

Also, how does GBL go about balancing mons to shift the meta each season to keep it fresh? I’m interested in seeing what if any changes come after this season.

feel like I’ve definitely improved over the past few weeks, with Jungle Cup and Catch cup treating me pretty nicely. I was stuck in the 1800s previously and was struggling to put the pieces of the puzzle together in game mechanics, but keeping up with that and watching a ton of ItsAXN has helped. Now I’m currently in the 2100’s and climbing with this team for catch cup. It’s not the best (mainly Talonflame) but it’s been a good core to learn and stick with.

I’m always looking for advice on what I should be focusing on and I’m hoping to push for Veteran in my first season playing!

Cheers!

I feel like a have a decent team, being Feraligatr, Umbreon, and Tinkaton. All have top 25 possible IV sets with best move selections. But I consistently go on 10+ game losing streaks and cannot get out of ruts. I count moves and use my safe switch well but but still can’t find success against non meta Pokemon. What do I even do at this point because I’m about to give it all up.

Every time I try to load up GBL and enter a match, pokemon go crashes and I have to reopen the game and when I get back into the battle Ive usually lost my first min so it’s made it practically impossible to win, or it will just outright freeze and pokemon go will black out and cannot enter the game. I’ve lost about 150 elo today trying to deal with this, what is a fix?

Every time I run across a morpeko, it is by far the most dominant pokemon I face in GL. I even have made sure to run a solid ground type (clodsire, gastrodon) in case I encounter one and they still get clobbered. What do you even do to beat them?
