Pokemon Roulette #25 Xerxes vs Symphonyx64

[TheRouletteGuySecret]

Cool video, thanks! Check out how to win at roulette at RouletteGuySecret (dot) com too!

[PokeMongrel]

@StrengthOfTheFire it doesnt matter xerxes is beast and he makes the rules

[WhiteyMcFly1]

@StrengthOfTheFire Milotic was gone by the time Porygon Z was put to sleep. Sleep Clause is irrelevant here because his poke who was originally sleeping had been taken out by Chomp.

[johnjohn123456777]

@StrengthOfTheFire milotic was dead when he used spore

[subgerocallidus]

Milo had Marvel Scale, hence why you could't kill him.

[Spazzman299]

@StrengthOfTheFire The Milotic was dead

[Kyuutoryuu]

Well, he was probably max defence. AND marvel scale gives you 1.5 more defence, which is HUGE. Seriously.

[mtgxerxes]

@StrengthOfTheFire I'm pretty sure Milotic used Rest correct? If a player uses rest that doesn't count towards sleep clause, as its HIS fault he's sleeping, not mine. I didn't inflict that.

However, in the theoretical case you're proposing arises.... I have no idea. I would LEAN on not-breaking sleep clause as it didn't fall asleep, and sometimes I use a sleep move just to save PP when I see he's not switching against my SubSeeder---risky but fun.

[RaiOTF]

@mtgxerxes actually milotic was dead at that point.

[styxsksu]

Milotic died before he spored Porygonz

[lunchboxboy]

haha you lost. noob

[GerisGreen]

What's a cursepasser? Also, do you do your narration while battling? What's choiced and specs? What did the annotation mean?

[iamthefaceless]

@GerisGreen A curepasser baton passes the move curse, 'choiced' means the pokemon is holding a choice item, of which there are three: Choice Scarf (+50% speed) Choice Specs (+50% special attack) and Choice Band (+50% attack) when held these items prevent a pokemon switching moves until they switch out. For example: My garchomp is holding a Choice Scarf, so it gets +50% speed, I use Dragon Claw and because of the Scarf, I am stuck with that move until I switch out. Hope this helps :)

[GerisGreen]

@iamthefaceless Thank you.

[iamthefaceless]

@GerisGreen Also, I happen to know he re-watches the videos and does the commentary then, not while battling. ^_^

[GerisGreen]

What's a cursepasser? Also, do you do your commentaries while battling?

[chickengear]

how do u roulette battle in POKEMON SOULSILVER

[mtgxerxes]

@chickengear It works the same regardless of version. I have a video about it, check out my roulette playlist and it should be the first one.

Basically, you and your opponent have your teams and leadoff randomly assigned to you. Neither of you know what you will get, and it theoretically leads to casual fun matches in which you see/use a lot of stuff you otherwise don't get to.

[antisubaru]

I was wondering wtf that porygon-z was holding.

[sSwiiK]

@antisubaru he used it, he was holding lum berry

[jmanslumpy]

hooooly crap. freakin frozen luke. i lol'd hard.

[ashall6549]

please add me my name is allen 3395 4712 9373 im ure bigest fan :) :) :) lolz commet if add

[DesertFox1124]

Lol my Tangrowth's name is Neochu. =p.

Cool game bro alot of fun to watch.

[frostbite0995]

my tangrowth's name is spagetti

[ninjan7ckmaniac]

MTG, Did you here manaphy was laced in OU now which I think is complete Bullshit!?

One Tail Glow and GAME OVER. lolz

[MrPaolo0o]

You didn't killed Milotic with a SD EQ due to his ability that raises his defense when sleeping

[fwubbuh]

With any status

[teledadman2]

im confused is garchomp uber or not

[mtgxerxes]

Smogon says yes. A lot of people say no. Symphony and I say no.

[Cgi09]

Garchomp is easy as shit to counter though.

[mtgxerxes]

Tell that to Smogon.

[Cgi09]

No one can predict the obvious EQ or Outrage apparently. So I won't insult their intelligence.

[sSwiiK]

@mtgxerxes to be fair to garchomp that milotic had marvel scale activated, although i am surprised the EQ didnt take him down

[symphonyx64]

Since when did I say Garchomp is not Uber outside of roulette battles?

[mtgxerxes]

You didn't but I just simplified things because it would be stupid to mention all that garbage.

[Evil666goth]

Can somebody tell me how to get an Eevee with wish? I know you gotta breed it with something that knows wish but with what?

[x8swift8x]

@Evil666goth togetic.

[Evil666goth]

@x8swift8x awesome thank you i tried togepi a million times and nothing worked now i know why -.-

[BlooSilva67]

MTG i wonder whats your overall record with WINS and LOSSES just for the games of D/P/P you have any idea cuz you played alot of games just curious if its above 5oo

[mtgxerxes]

Ehh, doesn't mean much. I played a lot of nubs in the early days. Some IV battles had wins/losses, got DQ'd from some wins and losses, etc.  Roulettes don't count either.

But it's prolly around .75, for what thats worth.

[Evil666goth]

xerxes idk how you do it but you always have a strategy i gotta give you double props man.

btw anyone looking to battle

name: Chris

code:3824 6534 4747

[mtgxerxes]

Well, it starts with hating to lose and refusal to give up. Then you look at what you got and what it can do, and you look at what he's got and then you can go two ways.

What can you do to him?

What can he do to you?

And you go from there.

[ELZOOL12]

I think someone's been to some kind of motivating class or something haha

[mtgxerxes]

I'm going to be a teacher, and I've been a captain on a fair share of sports teams. I'd like to think I know a thing or two about getting people ready to go ; )

[WaywardSquire]

Just had to say I enjoy watching your battles, you always seem to have a good strategy going, even if things don't work out.

And I laughed at the annotation at 6:35 , but don't be too hard on chomp. I'm not sure if you realized it during the battle but the Marvel Scale boost from sleep was the only thing that kept Milotic alive.

[mtgxerxes]

Nope, not till people started reminding me about it, I had completely overlooked it.

[okgo1fan]

idk if anyone else said this, but chomp is pretty strong, because of Milotic's marvel scale and it still did 3/4 damage...pretty beast

[MasterChef152]

Specs Slaking is pretty badass

[pokegum]

Chomp for OU

[WhiteMageFtW]

does any1 want a battle just finished my ev of my setup poke

Thombus

3738 5613 8718

plz someone need to test em

[TheDragonsTV]

a prorygon-z adaptability with a nasty plot and using tri attakc... that just mean

[mtgxerxes]

Download is better. Adaptability limits you to using Tri-attack, its only debatable with the rare suicidal Hyper Beam sets.

[Evil666goth]

Why did u name ur Umbreon Tay Zonday? lol

[mtgxerxes]

@Evil666goth: lol first Umbreon I got was in a trade and he named it Tay Zonday (Wish = chocolate rain I guess?) So in order to be consistent...I had to name all my Umbreons Tay Zonday.

[Evil666goth]

@mtgxerxes oh thats pretty practical my Umbreon is named Dusk because well thats just a badass name. And by all Umbreons do you mean you've raised more than one?

[mtgxerxes]

^^ I hate this stupid "@Name" thing now. I used to do that on my own, but when the reply is right below the comment there's no need.

Anyway, yeah I've got like....3? They're all pretty similar though, just slight EV changes and move changes.

[xMercii]

I understand what you mean about the "@NAME" thing. but sometimes the reply doesnt go underneath the comment you want to reply to. Like when people reply on my comments, sometimes their replys arent even near my comment.

[mtgxerxes]

@xMercii: It depends where the comment is when they reply, if there is no room on the main page of comments it goes to the top of the screen.

Most video makers are aware of that and already would put in the @name themselves though, and after the first couple days---most replies are on the main page anyway.

[xMercii]

Oh, I didnt know that. I always thought it was a youtube bug.

[bsmmolina]

xerxes im foreced to start over so wene i get like 6 badges battle

[WhiteMageFtW]

any1 wants a battle

Thombus:

currently traing a brill leafeon sword dancer

[EvraeAltana]

yeah was surprised to see he even replied to me but yeah EQ or Outrage would have easily 2hko Milotic even with Marvel Scale

[xMercii]

This is why I like mtgxerxes. (no homo)

He replies to almost all of his comments he gets on his vids.

[mtgxerxes]

Is this bait for me to reply? Cause it works =P

Just a habit I've had since the beginning. You take the time to watch and comment, you deserve to get the same amount of time back from me.

[xMercii]

It wasnt bait. I just thought it was cool of you to comment on other peoples comments.

[mtgxerxes]

Curses you got me again! lol

Naw man I mean, that just seems right. Why shouldn't a producer respond to his comments? Even back in the day when I'd get 100 the first day, I knew when I uploaded I'd be doing nothing but responding to comments for 3 hours, and that was fun to me. Plus it made them comment that much more, and people like hearing back...so more people come to comment, more stuff to reply, more fun for everyone! lol

Its a rare case of vicious cycle that is good all around.

[xMercii]

Thats true.

Well, keep up with the comments :)

[EvraeAltana]

shouldn't be mad about not being able to kill Miltoic with Chomp

marvel scale and all

[mtgxerxes]

I had forgotten about Scale.

Its still crazy when people go "Yache chomp with + 2 will 2hko anything" and I have Life Orb instead of Yache, and it still didn't.......But whatevz.

[drraid117]

Yo i was always a fan of yours then I realized that you came back and it is amazing. You by far have the best narration of anyone on youtube.

[5thGenIsGoingToSuck]

@drraid177 next to me right?

just joshin

[PopTatz]

Sub before Spore man. If you subbed then you could have focus punched the PZ and probably won.

[mtgxerxes]

No, I still likely would have tried to spore so that in theory I could re-sub and then kill....thus keeping sub for whatever switches in. Heatran would be able to switch moves on me when he comes in after PZ, and I can't take him.

[PopTatz]

@mtgxerxes Oh yeah your right, I did not see the Lum Berry coming at all. Pretty uncommon. I also can't believe your Slaking was faster then PZ haha.

[mtgxerxes]

I think both pokes were Neutral nature, and Slaking has a higher base than PZ. I just assumed his PZ was scarfed, and when it Plotted I figured it was +speed....and I was wrong yet again =/

[PopTatz]

Oh well, you'll get it back.

[X1217X]

Love the battles man keep em up

[ncsbert]

As always, awesome commentary. Nice battle.

[shuangxing66]

sleep activates marvel scale, which makes milotic's defense like over 300. When milotic is asleep it is gay as fuck.

[brandonkid123]

that looked like an exhausting battle. good game.

[Sucker4Jessica]

I lol'd at your annonation about Garchomp. IDK y its labeled uber lol.

[Nyktos4444]

Because YacheChomp is pretty much impossible to beat without sacrificing something.

[Sucker4Jessica]

LOLOLOL Im also U-Turn happy. All day shoddy.

[SuperPalim]

This shouldn´t ne a Challenge , but what we have to do, for a Challenge from u :P

[Dehoqu]

SandMan!?

I liked Yggdrasil :)

[gangsta4life1]

65mins long... damn

[darkmeteora17]

breloom getting slept....the irony

[mtgxerxes]

The sadface =(

[ShadowLake21]

Ahh you got it!!!

[ShadowLake21]

Hey Xerxes random but... Are you going to pick up Modern Warfare 2? Was it busy today?

[mtgxerxes]

I actually JUST opened my NVG's (Night Vision Goggles) from the Premium Editon.

I have no desire to play the game. I just wanted these bad boys.

[ShadowLake21]

Aww you got the Prestige Edition too??

Hell yeah man when I saw that MW2 was coming out I knew I was going to get it (way back when they announced). But then I saw Prestige Edition came with NVG's. I was all, " ahh shit this is it."

How do they work? Mine aren't here at the moment. We shipped them to my other adress. <.<

[mtgxerxes]

It takes a half hour to get them out the box.....and you need 5 AA batteries (not included)

But they're really cool. Its not like your normal vision, its like looking at a little tiny screen in the middle that you can switch to Black/white or the famous green tint....and you can have it on "High" or "low" powered too. Low power makes you indetectable, high power has a tiny red light on the front.

They're a little big, but really cool. Just make sure its pitch black when you turn them on!

[ShadowLake21]

Ahh nice.

I'm gonna' go outside and be the Marine I never will be! 5 AA batteries? Damn.

Are they like really good though? Like do you think it was worth the money?

And did you find the word?

[mtgxerxes]

I think people expect some epic quality, as if you put green sunglasses on and can see normally. Even military-use NVG's don't work that well. So while they aren't like, epic quality....they're not supposed to be able to reach that expectation, especially for 70 bucks (if you remove the price of the H.E. in the box)

Worth it? Well....I'll never get a pair under 500 bucks unless I grabbed these, so....yeah. And I didn't look for the word yet, I'll do that now.

[ShadowLake21]

I wouldn't either.

But man you should give that Campaign a try.

I'm thinking it will be badass.

The online will be similar to MW...

Don't know if I'll be a fan of that.

[mtgxerxes]

I regret not making a vid of me opening them now, and testing them out....I should still showcase them though....

[ShadowLake21]

Definitely man.

After one of your video's put those bitches on and start the bragging.

[Casadorperfect]

Eh... isn't xerxes a good narrator hehehe I remember he was the reason why I started narrating my own video's and why I learned how to pronounce some words :P

Good game man , you played outstandly well again , keep the great work

Greetzz,

Casador.

[sniperxx8]

nicee

[SilverAbsol777]

When Milotic has a status it's defense is boosted. Might be the reason it survived.

[BlooSilva67]

haha dang Xerxes you got lucky towards the end with the freeze and the para. hax lol good battle tho, i still can tell that your not back to your old self.

[troguester]

I always liked garchomp, and i do not agree that he is an uber, but now that he is it is kind of upsetting to see you using him in ou battles,i guess its not to much of an advantage considering he is border line uber. and milotic does have marvel scale so its not to surprising he lived that hit.

[AuroraZora]

wow tht was an awesome frz!

[grimgamerpro13]

THAT WAS FROM COOL TEXT AT THE BEGINING

[Mustardear]

Awesome game! You got pretty unlucky with your team - four Pokes weak to ice - but that's what makes roulette more entertaining.

[finalscarab]

what would of happened if you roosted instead of eq finishing luke right at the end. You might of had a better chance to live the hp ice and eq him back.

[shuangxing66]

what help will roost be of?

[FallenAngel4988]

Out of interest, do you just not consider Chomp an Uber, or do you just count him in roulettes?

Great battle.

[mtgxerxes]

I don't consider him an Uber.

[Whitereaf]

@mtgxerxes I dont why he can be considered UBER ..... because i have a few i wanted to try but people just leave because "im cheeting" they say

[ArgorokKing]

@mtgxerxes i dont consider garchomp uber.

[FallenAngel4988]

Well, he may not be one on Smogon for much longer either. ;)

[ChimeraYuri]

AAH my fav intro. Great battle dude

[DGWPictures]

I have the emotion that symphonys a cock sucker....

[XENON3120]

Great play on both parts, but he did have

the advantage knowing you team a little.

true Example: when you switch to your Slaking,

he switch to Milotic ???why??? when he has something better like Celebi? Because he knows your specs and even t-bolt will never 1HitKO a Milotic, that makes Milotic a Perfect switch to slaking

Porygon-Z with Lum berry is nice, everybody will predict him being Scarf or specs but mostly scarf with adaptability and tri-attack

I just beat Dead Space, damn nice game

[AlakazamSweeps]

wow that took a while for me to read....

[mtgxerxes]

Sure he knew I had a spec's Slaking, but I could've used Ice Beam, Tbolt, or Fire Blast on the Yanmega, two of which beat Celebi and one of which beats Milotic. Shadowball to finish things off works on Celebi too. So why WOULD he switch to Celebi? He likely predicted Ice Beam, I tried to be fancy and use fire.

[XENON3120]

@mtgxerxes No, no you got me wrong :) i was just saying people predict Slaking being banded or scarf with something Return, ice punch but after he switch to Milotic i was like, he knows this Slaking like his own hand - that's all reason i say: switch to Celebi was because celebi walls psychical Slaking, but not special and he knows this, just like you say "he knew I had a spec's Slaking" That makes the game far more challenging for you. More challenge more fun - Right ;)

[symphonyx64]

I knew what type of Slaking he had because I faced him before in a roulette with that Slaking. Basically, the nickname gave away what type it was for me.

[FatBase1]

nice to have u back

[jazza1017]

Have you got a new mike, because your voice sounds different.

[mtgxerxes]

The mic is in my new cam, and I don't actually know where the sound is taken from....so I just hold the cam and talk and it sounds different every match lol.

I'm doing my best =/

[diggetydee]

this was a real fun battle! woulda been awesome to see a comeback!

[tangramman]

+2 Earthquake from neutral max Attack Chomp vs. +1 148 HP/252 Def Milo: 718 Atk vs 423 Def & 368 HP (100 Base Power): 183 - 216 (49.73% - 58.70%)

Basically, Milotic is quite a beast when it's statused thanks to Marvel Scale. I have to say though that my position regarding Chomp being Uber is relenting, what with Latias and other things getting bulkier while Chomp must still rely on old tricks.

But anyway, great match.

[DaRysta]

It's called Sub/SD Salac chomp.

Very deadly in suspect.

[tangramman]

I can definitely see a SubSalac set being insanely deadly mid-lategame, especially considering Garchomp is bulkier than Swampert (no shit). No revenging thanks to Sub, but coverage isn't so great. Skarmory or Bronzong could probably Whirlwind/Gyro Ball/Toxic it to death ... possibly. Lategame would be GG though.

:|

I gotta play Suspect more.

[mtgxerxes]

I had forgotten about Marvel Scale, thats all. I wouldn't have been upset if it had occurred to me.

[shuangxing66]

you forgot about life orb

and also, how many milotic are actually bold 252def? I doubt there's much, because milotic is mainly a special wall, not a physical one.

[tangramman]

Hmm, I did forget about Life Orb. I just assume most Chomp have Berries.

And I was just going by the analysis on Smogon. Whichever analysis is first on a Poke's page is the most common.

[shuangxing66]

yea i saw the smogon page just now. Wierd that the standard build for milotic is bold 252def.

[1020308]

i think milotic was able to survive because it was asleep which activated marvel scale

[flippingamer]

you are the best

[JFVrantique]

"Alright that means you're staying in, that means i'm going to stone edge you ya douchebag" That me me lol too.

[kingofcupcakes]

That me me lol?

Nice English CEEB

Are you SICK?

[JFVrantique]

@kingofcupcakes

*that made me lol* >__> the fuk.

Go jerk off. Oh wait, YOU CAN'T FOR ANOTHER WEEK. Fail.

[kingofcupcakes]

Oh yeah? Well Guess what.

Sick.

[fanboy11]

hmm two of the oldest pokemon yt legends goin at it? i like.

[chaosweasel]

It's been a while, but you gave us just what we wanted. Great battle! Looking forward to the next vid ;)

[VoidDragon77]

That was a crazy battle. Crits, paralyzes and even freeze! You did good with what you had. Better luck next time. :)

[Xaphirox]

Haha, I'll be surprised if you won with the luck.

[jerrylovesu1]

amazing battle

[dantan1987]

whats adapt ability do??

[mtgxerxes]

Raises normal type moves (Tri-attack) by 1.5

Download is better almost all of the time however.

[shuangxing66]

actually you're wrong.

adaptability makes STAB gets x2.0 bonus instead of 1.5x, so technically it boosts the damage by only 1.33x, therefore its almost always worse than download if you are lucky to get the sp.att raise.

[ssireling]

Legendary, good to have you back.

[UmbreonFromTheShadow]

Welcome back man =D

Hope to see more vids in the future

[mtgxerxes]

Aack, on second thought I'm the moron....status via ability, dunno why I thought it was an item.

[Rundas1234]

was this in reply to me? i think you removed my comment >.>

[mtgxerxes]

Accidentally yeah, tried to remove mine and it took away yours =/ lol.

[Rundas1234]

@mtgxerxes lol. well, its cool. great to have you back. roulettes are way too good.

one suggestion? release your tangrowth. it doesnt seem to be useful in roulettes like this. lol.

[mtgxerxes]

That one is a novelty one. Block + Leech Seed + Protect ftw lol. He didn't even DO anything. I love Tangrowths.

[Rundas1234]

@mtgxerxes haha. im not a fan of them.they're one of those awkaward pokemon to me

[kingdaddydmac]

damn, long ass battle!!!

gg dude, always love your vids ^_-

if ya got a second come check out my channel ^_^

[futbolfanatic28]

nice match mtg

[MarioFlam06]

The luck gods were going crazy towards the end.

[xshdwdragunx]

have you ever gotten that much luck in a battle before XD?

[drunyon214]

Why'd he keep Celebi in against Breloom around the 2:30 mark? With sub and spore, he'd never beat you 1on1; all it did was let Breloom heal up.

[mtgxerxes]

What else was he gunna do? Let something get Fpunched? He had to remove my sub first.

[xMercii]

Falcon punched?

[drunyon214]

I was thinking switch to Yanmega to take the Focus Punch. It wouldn't have done much. Breloom ended up with a sub up anyways, so it would have left Breloom with roughly 50 less HP when Yanmega came in.

I guess he didn't want to risk a predicted Stone Edge, which makes sense too. Eh, there's benefits both ways.

[mtgxerxes]

Thats what he ended up doing. And thats what I ended up doing.

^_^

[azumarill111]

It's my birthday today

can you battle me on the weekend sometime for it?

[XSVoVENGEANCE]

that mic is a little too close to ur mouth

[CholoBandicoot]

Your mic sounds a little different especially when you say "s"

[LocamotionTCG]

dead space ftw.

[commanderkool868]

oh the irony that sandman fell asleep

[TheRoadkil1000]

man r u still rusty dang... I miss ur old battles u just pwned!

[jcfern55]

well now, u-turn lead, excellent wall combo in milotic and celebi, and convenient lum berry placement knowing the possibility of breloom...I'd say symph's masterfull roulette skills strike again *COUGH COUGH*

[symphonyx64]

Or, you don't want to accept the fact I can play honestly and have over 100+ OUs.

[jcfern55]

sorry, but it is odd getting such a good mix even tho you only have OUs, and people are even more suspicious after you got the "perfect" sandstorm team against killernacho.

just an observation everyone seems to have made

[symphonyx64]

That's their problem, not mine. Some, if not all people have to wake up and accept the facts. Suspicion or not.

And, ALL the Pokémon I sav'd, I sav'd as a team. So, the chances of me getting a well-synchornized team is probable. Accept it.

[mtgxerxes]

Symph has been around longer than me, and he's always used OU wall teams.

He's going to get OU walls. Thats what he does. Everyone in the world except me has a Celebi. He gets a celebi. Oh no.

He's got no reason to cheat against me or anyone else, its a roulette, they're not serious, they're for kicks.

[jcfern55]

oh I am fully aware of all of that.

I was just casually throwing in my opinion, sorry to those I offended.

[mtgxerxes]

Wow....yeah people just randomly equip lum berries on dudes for a roulette because of the 1/50 odds that I'll get a breloom.

Did you not see two of my last 3 roulettes in which both players got Pert + Cune + another tank? It happens man. He uses good pokes, he gets good pokes. Kinda how things work.
