 Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our road to ranked roulette series We kicked off this brand new series last week on the channel It's been so much fun so far and we started with a brand new team again this week courtesy of your kind Nominations that went into that roulette wheel and we came up with a team of six Pokemon Which was absolutely fantastic to kick the week off some real favorites of mine in this team this week And if you've missed the two episodes so far this weekend would like to check those out Do go back up here link a card for you can check those out and then come back into the latest episode because we are on day Three of this week's team, which means one thing we can activate those bonus buttons So we've got the legend maker the switch up and the randomizer button that we've got access to today And we've had some really great nominations I did ask you guys in last episode which button you'd like to see activated and we've had pretty much all three buttons nominated so After thinking about it last night I really feel like we probably need to activate all three buttons And I'm gonna do that before we get into today's episode because I think we're so close with the results And I kept a promise at the start of the week or I made a promise at the start of the week That we would get over 1500 by the end of the week and to do that We're gonna have to make some drastic changes to the team We've been so close so many times in matches, but we're just lacking that final little bit to get us over the finish line So hopefully with a few changes today, we can make this possible and we can do by the end of the week I mean come on getting over 1500 it's a starting point. I can't believe I'm saying this But it is gonna be a lot of fun along the way. It's been a lot of fun up to now So I'm gonna activate these three buttons the first button that I'm gonna activate is gonna be one I think pinco nominated yesterday early on yesterday morning was the legend maker button So we're gonna activate that right now Now I have to nominate a Pokemon from the party, which is a little bit sad the Pokemon that I'm gonna nominate is Articuno we haven't really made the most of our Kuno in this team It's got a very cool set couldn't get it working And I just feel like we want to go down more of a trick room route with the team in general So I'm gonna nominate Articuno and hopefully we get a restricted Pokemon It can bolster us up a little bit give us an advantage against things like Kyogre Groudon and Rayquaza That we're really struggling with at the moment and give us just a little bit extra to get us over the finish line So Articuno, you're nominated. I'm gonna smash The legend maker button and we'll head straight over to the wheel right now. We'll see which restricted Pokemon We're gonna have access to Okay, I'm so hyped about this. I'm so Hiked about this so we've got cure and black now in the team It's gonna give us exactly what we need to deal with things like Kyogre that have been so problematic for us We've got that fusion bolt. We've got ice type stab We've got dragon type stab if you want I'm gonna come up with an idea of how to build this into the team and we'll see if we can get it working But at least we've got now two restricted Pokemon Thank you so much to worms eye for that suggesting you can see on your screen right now There is worms I suggesting you cure and black on into this week So as I say we're gonna activate all three buttons the next button that I am gonna activate is gonna be the switcher button We've got a nominate another Pokemon unfortunately out of the party and that is gonna be This is such a tough one. We need the trick room. I think tap the boo-boo. You're gonna go You have been putting in the work, but not really as effective as I needed you to be so let's throw you into the wheel And see what we can get out Of the wheel. Hopefully it's something good. Let's go over and see what a switchup is gonna be this week So here we go Mega and for us is the Pokemon that we get into we got two Pokemon that we can we can now use as mega Pokemon Maybe we change the tyranitar into just a regular tyranitar rather than the mega t-tart and use Amphros as that mega Fits perfectly with a trick room as well. Right. Okay now the randomizer This is a bit risky, but I am gonna stick by what I said at the start of the episode We're gonna activate that randomizer button. I'm gonna smash that right now We've got to randomly select a Pokemon from our party to get rid of now Like I said, this could backfire pretty badly, but we'll see what happens We'll do this now and then we will select our brand new Pokemon to bring in for that Nominated Pokemon that we're gonna ditch for the rest of the week. So here we go. We'll go straight over to the wheel T-Tart my favorite my ward. Oh Okay, I don't know this you're like it's backfired completely now. Oh I don't like this Can we just rewind this back and not do this. Okay, right? Well, we've got rid of T-Tart that is so so sad We've gonna go straight to the wheel and hopefully get something good in place of it. Okay, so here we go Wheel of fortune select us Yeah, I mean it's got it's got fake out It's got it's got fake out I guess that is good enough for anything and it's a dog type as well It's weird how we get rid of one and then get another one in it's not a fix I swear, I've got the weird animations going on But I do them on a wheel Online separately and record that stuff you guys ever want to see that raw footage then to know this isn't made up You can I can I can post that at any point that you want to let me know but okay We've got the team. We're gonna go straight over now into the battle box And we're gonna see what I've put together Going into this week, so the new team after activating all three buttons this week. We've got Chameco We've kept that little ninja so hopefully it can still do some work for the rest of the week We've got the cure-and-black now. We've got the mega and for us in the party So it is taking the place of Tyranitar. We've got the necrosma there kept from always We've got Sylvia and we've changed the spread up the set up a little bit And then we've got the pearl on in there So the team is always is down in the description below if you want to check it out or try it out let me know what you think of it and We will get straight into this episode today the music is on so I guess we just need to hope we can get some Results with the team. I feel like the fake out that we've got with the pearl on that really helps us out So hopefully we can get this trick room odd going a little bit better As always guys if you do enjoy this sort of content do remember to drop a like on the video Do subscribe to the channel for more Pokemon content and do leave a comment down below Let me know what your thoughts are on the bonus button Activations today. Do you think I've went a little bit too far by activating all three or do you think it was the Right thing to do and I'm sad about losing. I'm sad about losing Tito. I really am But hopefully we can do all right without it Hopefully it doesn't take too long to find our first opponent of the episode We're gonna search right now. I've got the music locked in if it takes a little bit longer than usual I'm just gonna cut from right now and we'll come back when we find our first opponent And we've got a first opponent of the X episode. We've got XC. So I'll hop straight over into team preview So first opponent today is running a team if we can get into the right screen. Excuse me guy Buttons not working so our first opponent today is running a team of Kyogre requires a crowbar Tapococo, Celesteela and Incinero. So you've got that real good combination with the Tapococo support crowbar They're gonna provide tailwind support his support taunt support as well So we've got to watch out for that then you've got the Celesteela there It is gonna be something very solid to help that support the rest of the team is still type obviously a mean to ground type of Tax as well and then the Incinero with the Intimidate now cure and black here looks like it could be Incredibly strong if we can get a trick room up as well as the Ampharos here So I think trick room here for us is definitely a way to go I'm gonna lead off with Chameco and I'm gonna lead off with Perloin as well For that fake out and then I think we just got cure and black and then Ampharos My opponent's not got any sort of ground type attack We may be on the Rayquaza, but outside of that then there is nothing So I think if you can get a trick room set up if the electric terrain is up We're in such a good position to start chucking out damage and ripping through this team So I think this selection looks good Can we get off to a win to kick us off today? And the screens are working the screens are working. So here we go XC. Good luck my blonde friend and Let's see if we can get I Feel like we can do some stuff now, you know the fake out support that we've got from the Perloin helps us out like Massively like massively and the Z trick room we've got on the Chameco does help out a lot now They can't taunt us, but at the same time What are they gonna do after they taunt us? We just Z trick room don't we so It's gonna be it's gonna be all right. We can definitely get a trick room up now You've got to imagine that the crowbar does go for the taunt into the Chameco I'm gonna Z trick room for sure with Chameco and I'm gonna go for that fake out into Incineroar and if you do see the taunt from the crowbar, we've got the encore from the Perloin So we can actually utilize that the next turn lock that crowbar into taunt if it does go for it this turn Which is this help us out loads And then we can get something like Amphros onto the field And start just causing havoc I guess Mega Amphros such a cool Pokemon. It's like definitely one of my favorite mega Pokemon Just never get to use there's the taunt bush excellent Here we go, but Incineroar does flinch and here we go Chameco putting in the work already With this Z trick room Gonna guarantee that we get it off. We can't utilize our hypnosis Which is a little bit unfortunate, but at the same time we get the trick room set up So we cannot complain at all And now do we do we uncall the crowbar or does the crowbar just switch out because that's Maybe something that we do see and it's kind of dangerous Switching in I'm gonna actually switch in Amphros right now, and I'm gonna go for a charm Into the Incineroar. I'm not really too worried about the crowbar. I just don't want to switch in Amphros Take a bunch of damage from the Incineroar If it decides to go for a docus laria or something like that, so just oh we can't do it because oh no I forget that it's a dog type. We're such an idiot. Oh That sentence the name makes sense. We're such an idiot Okay, we're gonna see the taunt from yeah, that's fine. Okay We'll kind of get away with that a little bit and let's make a revolve Let's thunderbolt and let's bring in Curium black for Perloin, and let's really get these these trick room Pokemon in Action and try and start doing some stuff Curium black at the field terrible Bursting or so here we go mega Amphros the snore is not really helping us out too much But we'll be slower than this Incineroar in the trick room, which is a huge help to us, so Get this mold breaker going. There's the thunderbolt. I don't expect to pick up the knockout Minus one which we don't you do just miss out. There's another snarl coming out Okay, really not helping us out here at all Incineroar is a pain with snarl. There's another taunt coming out. Okay Right well crowbar just locked into that taunt. Good job. We didn't didn't carry on them I'm gonna fusion bolt The incineroar just to get some damage onto it. Good job We didn't uncall the crowbar because it was pretty pointless. It's just kind of uncolloced itself And let's see if the crowbar switches out at least if we get rid of the crowbar though It means my opponent's speed control is gone for the rest of the game, which is which is really nice And what we're gonna see this incineroar go for just another snarl I'm for us actually avoid this time, which is fine So we should get some nice damage on to the incineroar now with our fusion bolt We aren't intimidated so it should still be doing decent enough damage. 50% would be ideal It's not quite not quite. Okay Bit underwhelming But fine, let's see what my opponent brings in. Is it gonna be Kyogre? I don't know. I don't think Kyogre doesn't like facing down either of these requires that definitely doesn't And But it is the ray Big battery We've got ice beam and we've got dragon pulse so we can double into it for sure Unless it is a salt vest of course And it can do it can do some decent damage to us But we will go for that ice beam and we will go for that dragon pulse the ray might protect here But I mean the moment the incineroar is not causing us too many issues could start flablets in but we are dragon types So it's probably better off going for its dark type attacks. We're just gonna see the Rayquaza Mega revolver turn to mega ray It does take like we'll know if it's a salt vest straight away or not by the damage that we get off with It does protect okay, you're gonna see another snarl I think Okay, we probably need to reset a few things here. It's just difficult because Ampharos like minus three now minus three. I'm not too sure that mentions to back to normal Now can we switch? It's difficult getting a trick room back in right now and because we are our minus three cure Minus three and for us That's all good. Um, I think we're bringing per line for Ampharos and we will Um Do we bring in Chameco just to reset? You know like if we can reset things Chameco might be able to actually take a dragon is it's not gonna take a dragon ascent I don't know if that's what we'll see though We might see an earth part into the Ampharos for sure that could definitely be an option For my opponent the Rayquaza. I think it's it's more important to keep our restrict it's than anything else And there's a dragon ascent and this drink this requires is now weakening itself It's gonna be into Chameco So we will lose our speed control for sure But at the cost of getting our restricted out to get our restricted back in That's invaluable really it really is probably seeing other snarl here From the incineroar. It's gone for a u-turn, which is interesting They're like gonna be able to just about take that And you've got to imagine the Kyogre will hit the field now Yeah Kyogre Kyogre I think what would do is we will Yeah, we'll get Ampharos in Because the incineroar still to come in I would imagine the Rayquaza switching out anyway this next turn We've got active fake out this turn. So my opponent probably protects Protects the Kyogre brings incinero in I would imagine that's probably what their their goal is here So we'll fake out Kyogre and if we fake out Kyogre do we fake out you fake out the ray I'm gonna fake out the Kyogre and I'm gonna I'm just gonna go for do we go thunderbolt or dragon pulse I'm gonna go thunderbolt into the ray because I think it switches out. I don't think it stays in We could stay and go double protect for sure That's definitely an option. I think you want to get the ray out though after getting rid of the Chameco That would be my best guess anyway So let's see if we can close this one up with a mega Ampharos cura. Okay, so we're gonna see Kyogre switch out Again, we're gonna see incineroar hit the field once again Does the ray just protect here probably does Yeah I feel like it was too obvious to go for the Kyogre there with an attack from Ampharos into that slot. Um, yeah so I think what we'll do switch perline out will bring cure and black in and we'll go for a Do we just go for a protect? Yeah, I'm just gonna protect Ampharos because there could be earth power on that ray quasi And we don't want to get ourselves caught out by a fake earth power into that slot um If we can get cure and black in for free that would be that would be super nice And now with the the delta stream gone it makes it easier to deal with this way for sure You might see just an extreme speed and there's a fake out. Yeah into the Ampharos and an extreme speed. Yeah Into the cura and black And it does so much damage doesn't it really does so much damage um I'm gonna switch cura and black out I'm gonna bring perline back in and I'm gonna go for a dragon pulse into the ray quasi Because I think you made dragon ascent the cura black slot just to make sure you get rid of that Um I'd protect. Okay. That's fine. We'll probably see a snarl come out Yeah Perline should take this Just just about perline crit. Okay perline hanging on Um, now the ray Now the ray. What do we do with this ray? Um We've got a fake out the incineroar the ray can't protect here So I could thunderbolt or I could dragon pulse It's likely gonna switch out. Isn't it into Kyoga? um So I could thunderbolt it Or I could dragon pulse like minus one dragon pulse It still should get it. I'm gonna dragon pulse. It's a bit safer. I think just to get rid of the ray Oh, but my opponent disconnects I'm gonna claim that as a as a victory. We might get three games in today then guys That's a bit sad. I don't know what my opponent would have done there. I think it was definitely 50 50 who could have won that my opponent may have been in a better position there Then we were but I think I don't know I'd still feel confident that we could take that game It depends how that turn played out if my opponent let the ray in I don't think they had a way to get I'm for us. So we get the dragon pulse onto them. They're minus one way minus one The dragon pulse should pick up the knock out there. I would imagine it's not a soul vest ray. We know that Um because of the protect so I think we probably get it with dragon pulse there If that happens, then we've got cure and black to come in which Just absolutely wrecks kyoga, especially with the soul vest and then it's just dealing with the incineroar from there So I think we might have been all right. It would have been very close But I think we would have been okay. I reckon but we've got our next opponent. So let's hop straight over into team preview And hopefully we can carry on This winning streak that I'm going to claim from that last one in this next one So next opponent is running a team of lunala groudon tapu lele mega medichamp or maybe just medichamp And then nilega and salamence. So we've got two potential megas in this team We've got the medichamp and we've got the salamence there Um, we've got the lunala and the salamence providing speed control for the team You're probably looking at something like scoff tapu lele there Groudon and lunala are going to be the big hot hitters of this team now Lunala is a bit of an issue for us to deal with for sure. I'm going to lead with chameco and What do I lead with keep my chameco in the back sylvian And perloin's not bad because if we see the lunala come out We can chip the lunala with perloin sylvian combination If speed control comes out, we can lock stuff into that And then I think we definitely want curem black in this match And probably chameco to get a trick room up because my opponent looks pretty weak to trick room. Um We'll bench necrosma here. So Yeah, we'll see how we get on in this next one and hopefully we can pull out a victory Because that's what it's all about Because what are we what are we this week four four losses? So four losses one win At the minute as we stand if we claim that last one is a win, which I'm gonna I think we're entitled to claim that last one is a win I'm definitely claiming it claiming it. So if we can make it four losses two wins Or four losses three wins in today's episode that would be incredible. So we're all gonna see the tapulele And the lunala come out for my opponent We can't utilize our pranks there. We can't utilize a fake up from perloin But we do still have access to foul play, which is which is pretty huge for us I'm gonna go for a shadow ball into lunala and I'm gonna go for foul play into that slot as well. So See hopefully that will be enough to pick up the the knockout We're gonna see a moon blast come straight out from the tapulele It's gonna be into the perloin take us down to a magical sash And it's lunala gonna go for tailwind or trick room tailwind. So we do yeah, that's fine If you can get rid of the lunala, it would be incredible here I don't know if we're gonna be able to see what the foul play does does a nice chunk of damage That's probably in range for a shadow ball now The only problem doing this is we are opening the door for my opponent To get Something like ground on onto the field, which it loves the this this beat control, you know It loves thrives in that condition So that's the only issue that we've got here, but we'll see we'll see what they're bringing Getting rid of the lunala is is the big thing for us. It's a pity. We can't utilize a charm From perloin that I'm gonna protect sylvia in here for sure I wonder if it's a ruptured ground on as well. That makes things a little bit more difficult for sure Um Right, I mean we could sigh shock Uh, probably not gonna really be doing very much the ground on even in psychic terrain to be honest. Um And I don't think keeping perloin is gonna be the best plan of action now I don't think we can stall out four turns of psychic Terrain until that kind of is over to utilize Perloin, unfortunately, I'm gonna just go for a foul play into the ground on if we can get it off That'd be amazing. We know that have a little scarfed. Ah, but it is who is withdrawing If by some chance this ground on goes for precipice blades here, it could miss And perlon could get a sneak attack off Does go for it. Come on perlon be a ninja Where's that ninja when you need it? Come on Okay, perlon going down, but this does open the door for us to get our Chameco onto the field Hmm Yeah Now the ground on's kind of forced to go for a fire punch into this slot if it wants to get rid of it and stop the trick room Um I'm gonna switch silvia now and I'm gonna bring cure them in And I'm gonna go for z trick room. Do I just protect? I mean protecting No, I'm gonna go z trick room right now because if we can get it up It means we can start hypnosis putting things to sleep which gives us such an advantage going into the The latter turns of this match. So let's see if we can do some stuff Terrible There's a sludge bomb. Yep into that slot your salt vest helping us out so much. Come on. Chameco. Please take a fire punch We take it. We take it. Chameco is the one Chameco you're so good We're in such a good position now. We are in such a good position Okay, I'm not gonna say we're in an amazing position I feel like we're in a good position Um, it's still not it's still not a done deal earth power and Side kick what's gonna protect though? Um I'm gonna earth power the night lego for sure. Um, and I'm gonna hypnosis the ground on Let's see what what my opponent does they probably try and protect around this stuff So chameco getting the trick room up ground on protects The night lego, I don't think we get with an earth power. Unfortunately I'll just protect so we're gonna have a free a free hypnosis this next turn which is amazing Um, or we could pick up a knockout onto something. Um We could actually go for the ground on if we wanted to But I don't want to give the I don't want to give the night lego a beast boost That's the the big thing here. I think you probably Switch ground on out Um So I'm gonna go I'm gonna go Well a hypnosis and a sidekick should get the night lego. I'm gonna actually just go for that double up It's just whether or not the night lego switches out to taboo lily But I think out of everything you want to protect the ground on she restricted No Oh Okay, not the best Not the best at all. We should have just stuck with hypnosis. Are you keeping the night lego? I guess Okay, well, we do some nice damage there substitute from ground on Okay Um, I don't mind that too much. The psychic terrain does disappear. Um Now my opponent's big prerogative is going to be trying to get around The trick room for sure Let's go for a psychic into the ground on's I don't think that's going to pick up the knockout at all. We could put the taboo lego to sleep Just I kind of want to get rid of the taboo lego to be honest Um, I think the ground on may protect here. It might not as well. The other option we've got is going for The hypnosis into the taboo lego Okay, we're gonna see the taboo lego withdraw. We're gonna get a fusion ball off into the night lego Maybe the ground on does protect. Yeah, that's fine. I mean, yeah It gives us more opportunity to go for the hypnosis. I guess um I think my opponent wants to keep the taboo lego definitely around for for the late game when it comes back in Um and protecting this ground on it's probably the best thing they could have done because It means they've got more time to like we've got one turn of trick room left now They just double protect but I think we have to double into the ground on um Do we go for a hypnosis? Uh into night lego. I don't think so. I think we try and psychic Break the sub on the ground on I just don't see The sub breaking with psychic. Maybe it does. I don't know. Chameco might be strong enough I don't know if it's going to be strong enough to get this sub I really don't But we'll see if we can do it. We can get some decent damage off into it with curam I think night lego definitely protects here yet 100 percent um It's all about whether this sub breaks or not now. Come on break the sub. Please chameco It's too weak. It's too weak This will definitely break the sub the ground on is going to get a precipice blades off now or maybe a fire punch Would make more sense. Oh it goes for another substitute. Okay So I think what we'll do is we'll go for a um another earth part into ground on We'll protect how do we go for the night lego? Do we go for the night lego the night lego? Yeah, we'll go for the night lego with an earth power. We'll protect chameco Hopefully the garden goes fire punch into that chameco this turn. Oh What is this? Ah, yeah Curam black is going down. We're going to see the rocky emsy didn't really expect this from the night lego But I think this is going to be too much for our curam black to take We are salt vest, but still this is a pretty strong z move and we're not full health So I'm going to be very surprised if we can take this Yeah, no way And then the fire punch comes out I think the substitutes what really did it for us here and then the chameco been so weak Uh, I think we got a little like we guessed a little bit wrong on a couple of our trick return to allow the ground on to get the sub up It's really kind of saved their baking and let them get through the the trick returns. Whereas now We're not really in an amazing position to really do anything We can size shock into the night lego and we can try and get a trick room up But it's just a simple fire punch sludge bomb now, especially after the beast boost. So that will put us to five losses Oh Oh silvian actually takes that that's mad I didn't expect silvian to uh to survive that. That's pretty strong Your fire punch coming out Imagine if you press it. Oh Ah If we just protected silvian We couldn't protect the silvian And then we would have been I guess in a bit a little bit of a better position. We wouldn't have been in a winning position at all um Yeah, let's just there's no way the ground on Doesn't take us out. You can't oh well we get the psychic. Let's see how much this does tonight lego Oh, we actually it picks up the knockout on night lego. Well done chameco Uh, we're not going to stand up to the ground on though. Unfortunately, and then they're definitely later to come back in So my opponent playing around the trick room there really well. We just didn't really capitalize enough uh That we as we wanted to so Not picking up the win there good game to my opponent and like I said guys Um Because that first one should we have one more or not? Now i'm going to call it a day here. We've had a long enough episode So we'll call it a day. We'll come back tomorrow all refreshed ready to go raring to go And we'll see if we can pull this round. So we're five losses one win We've got potentially one two three four We can pull it back. We can tie this up by the end of the week. So We will do that. I'm just gonna say thank you so much for tuning in today guys I hope you've enjoyed today's episode at least we got A win a win today. So that's good.
