 Hi everyone, I hope you're all well having a great day. Thank you so much for tuning in to another episode of our VGC 2019 battle series we are in the ultra series and it is Friday So that means we are finishing the week up before moving on to a new team next week With this team on your screen in front of you We've been playing the Zernius and Kayaga build for the last couple of weeks on the channel the reindeer call And it's been a lot of fun. We've had a lot of fun with it. We've had integrations with Metagross We've got the mega swamper going on at the minute and we had some really great suggestions We've changed things up as we went through and one of the things we're changing up today is bringing in the quillfish So quillfish, we've given the Z crystal We've been poisonium Z so it picks up the knockout on things like zernius. It picks up things like tapu lele We had speed tapu lele scoff tapu lele in the rain So we just need to make sure that's there and then I brought in tomorrow some fake-out support because Really without, you know, if we kept something like ferrathorn in there We've got no fake-out support to help that zernius set up We need some fake-out support and we've got a heck of a lot of electric weaknesses in the team right now So tapu ko ko could really run through as if we're not careful. So toga tomorrow does help us out there a little bit We've got enough to deal with gradon I feel with the kayaga with the tailwind support from the tornadoes the swamper mega swamper And then the quillfish doing some nice work as well there. So Nice things about quillfish. It can take a bunch of attacks. You've got a weird EV spread, but it does make sense It's down in the description below with the rest of the team. There is a roll paste and a poker paste Go ahead try it out. Let me know if you do of course as always but without further ado guys Let's just jump into today's episode. It's gonna be a lot of fun to end up at the reindeer core And finally we get quillfish on the channel. Of course, it's always gonna be good Oh, there are at least two problem of the same held item. Oh come on. Okay. I'm gonna cut this will be right back I need to take the focus sash off talking to mom Oh, no, I've got on tornadoes. Yeah So be right back. I'll just adjust this. So we're back guys I've changed up the items obviously what I've done in homage to that lovely tornadoes that we played earlier in the week last week We've brought it back. It's got the wiki berry again So it's a bit more bulky, but it can still perform a really nice job within the team We've kept the focus sash on the toggle tomorrow because we've got the endeavor variant that we have played already on the channel So everything being fine. We should hop straight onto the ladder now and get underway with our matches today So as always guys, if you do enjoy the content, please remember to drop a like on the video Does really support the channel and the video itself and make sure you do subscribe to the channel for more Pokemon content very soon and leave a comment down below Let me know what your thoughts are on the radio call and what you would like to see going into next week now I've mentioned that I will play my bristle regional team that I run this weekend because it is bristle regional So if any of you are going and you spot me out and about at the event come say hi Because I would love to meet you in person It would be great to hang out and just catch up at the event But yes, if you'd like to see that team next week, of course, let me know and I will make sure to feature that next week If not, we'll play something completely different. But if you've got suggestions, let me know down in the comment section below I've got a first opponent, so we will hop straight in against the black wizard Okay, Mr. Black Wizard is running a team of Zernius Lunala, Blaziken, Persian, Gastrodon and Amunga So, Gastrodon, how you doing there? I'm not liking the look of this Gastrodon right now Really not looking good for us right now with this full rain team that we've got pretty much going on here And the one time we drop our grass type We see Gastrodon and it's gonna happen. Okay, so we've got getting a bit more serious though. We've got the Zernius Lunala Combination there really strong combination did so well in the Sun and pretty much in that moon series as well Very very threatening. You can't fake out the Lunala It's got Tailwind, Roar, Psycup, lots of options there to disrupt your side of the field and support its own You've got Mega Blaziken, potentially there is the Mega, gonna have speed boost Persian There is gonna be the support option, fake out Pongshot, lots of options there The Gastrodon like we said a big threat for us to deal with because of its storm drain ability And then Amungus as well with its redirection. Now, do we go Quillfish? We could go Quillfish here Quillfish might be quite nice. Quillfish, Kayoga Yeah, let's do that. Let's do that. Let's do that. Do we want Togonimaru? I think we definitely need Zernius and Maybe we go Togonimaru in the last slot And let's get into this one. Oh, I hope I picked Togonimaru. I hope we didn't time out and pick something else. That would not be good Come on Togi Let's hope we we pick we click that button. This is an interesting team though. I'm really looking forward to the kind of getting Into it against it. It's it's really well put together to be honest Okay, Zernius Amungus for my opponent This is fine. This is fine. I'm gonna tell you why it's fine in a minute. You get a rain out Quillfish is like super super fast I mean, it's not so fine because the Amungus can put Whatever it wants to sleep, which is not ideal, but we have we have things we can do Except deal with the Amungus of course. Um, all right. Now it might seem a bit passive like I mean we could Z move The Zernius here It's just I don't want Quillfish getting put to sleep. That's the big thing here Because we could Z move and ice beam the Amungus Actually, I'm gonna do that because the next turn it'll make a lot more sense if I just do this Yeah, and we get rid of the Amungus. That's quite good for us It's going for the rage powder anyway. So if we targeted the Z I want to see how much the Z move does Quillfish such a badass looking Pokemon. It's like a spike ball with lipstick As a downpour here we go. It's gonna be really Really underwhelming damage, I feel That's not bad. That's not bad. That is not bad. There's a Geomancy now. I will tell you it's fine. It's all fine Honestly, it's fine. You'd think here. We're like, oh the Geomancy's went up It's all going to pot but We have Quillfish remember Even though Z moves burnt, it's all gonna be it's all gonna be fine Until the next turn and we just lose But no, I'm pretty sure it will be all right. Getting rid of the Amungus is nice depends on what my opponent brings in Pretty nice if we see the Gastrodon. I would imagine it's the Lunala to try and stack up Oh, it is the Gastrodon. I'm gonna try and get rid of Aquilfish They're gonna try and get rid of us, but It will not work because we're gonna haze right now And we can take a plus team Moonblast from Azernis. So we will wear it fine Just want to check what we've got on the back to deal with good old Gastrodon. All right, we'll be all right. We'll be fine We've got the Harnes and Ys It's all okay. It's all right. We'll just protect Kyogre here. We'll probably take an earth power But it's all fine Oh even better You do this all day long I think as well because of how bulky we've got Aquilfish you probably take an earth power from Gastrodon Bye-bye, Giamansi. It's just the ultimate the ultimate badass Ah, we don't take it that is unfortunate That is sad Okay, let's bring in Zernis It's a shame we haven't got like I don't really want to be boosting the Gastrodon. Um I'm gonna go Giamansi. Oh, do we not? No, I think let's let's set ourselves up a little bit better Let's bring in Tornadis here Then we can tailwind then we can Giamansi and then we can try and win out with Kyogre. We get rid of this rain as well Oh, I've got a nice idea what we could maybe do We could role play the storm drain couldn't we Could we do that? Oh, what's this? It's a Gastrodon doing it's going to take tonic rage. It's a crazy crazy It's a crazy little slug Go on be pleased be into that's not into the tornado. This is it No I wish it was That would have been great. That would have been great I really want to role play. I really want to role play the Gastrodon, but it's just not gonna happen. Is it? Um Hmm, I mean Giamansi now isn't the worst is it because what what else could we do? um Just clear smog is probably on the gastrodon. That's the only thing I would kind of worry about um And what's my pony got on the back? They're gonna have they're gonna have the lunala for sure I think I think you've got the lunala in the back to bring in Um, that's just Giamansi if we get Uh, and that's tailwind as well Like cernius isn't going down here There's moon blasts. Hopefully if we don't get especially attack drop. I think idea is strong Wow, that does loads of damage. Actually, that's crazy crazy damage We could have probably just went for a hurricane to be honest as well It's just if we say clear smoke. That's the bad thing Oh ice beam, that's fine Do we know ice beam at power? It's probably got clear smoke It's probably got clear smoke. Let's go moon blast into the gastrodon and Let's bring in Do we bring a cow? Yeah No, no, let's let's not let's just go for a hurricane into Into the cernius. I don't think gastrodon takes a moon blast I'd be surprised if it does Yeah, so gastrodon gone just about whether we take a moon blast from the opposing cernius. Oh, yes, okay Come on cernius. Take it. It's all fine lunala. Yeah, there we go big bad lunala, right? Um, how many turns of tailwind have we got left to? Okay Now we can't Obviously what I'm gonna try and do is just taunt taunt the lunala Because I don't want it to tailwind. I don't want it to psych up And I'd imagine the opposing cernius probably protects here for the lunala to try and get the kill Okay Nothing Yeah, it goes for tailwind Now this would be so bad if tornadoes goes down here Oh, you're too bulky for your own good tornadoes You really are We kind of need tornadoes to stick around for the next turn so we can get that tailwind up. Um I really want to moon blast the cernius more than anything, but maybe Now I think we just go for the more solid choice. Just go hurricane Hurricane moon blast into the lunala. Hope our hurricane hits. Yeah, the cernius is going to protect here So the shadow shield will give this lunala a bit more of a buff But as long as tornadoes, I mean we could even confuse here cheeky confusion Nah, no confusion, but This is all right because now we can get kayoga onto the field. We can tailwind waterspout win The lunala can't protect actually. Hmm. We a tornado is too bulky. It can't I cannot unspeed it unfortunately, so We will need to Yeah, we'll need to protect kayoga and go for the tailwind and hope That tornadoes can get through this turn Hopefully tornadoes if it does that'd be excellent. If not, there's gonna be a little bit trickier, especially if the lunala's got white guard side shock Come on tornadoes. Just take it take it Moon blast No Okay We just need that lunala to be torn it for one more turn really Okay If it's got white guard, we're screwed We're screwed. There's nothing we can do No white guard Now we should be able to win this lunala goes down. It's only us nearly down Uh origin pulse would be well waterspout will probably be enough to take it down the next turn Anyway, single target in the rain Um, they're gonna have to get yeah, I mean Ooh Special attack drop that's not what we want The waterspout should still be enough I'm gonna be confident to say waterspout is enough to protect Gonna need a couple of those and even then I think still an origin pulse will get it So let's do this If waterspout doesn't take down from here, we're very upset. I'd imagine it does does fail So we'll get a couple of shots if not And yeah enough so we do pick up a win quillfish Coming in clutch and zernius being brought back into the fold. We've had zernius on the team. We just haven't featured it like the last Two episodes have we um, which is very strange. Um, but nice to bring it nice to say do some work In quillfish doing all the work, which is epic just what we want so We will move on to our next opponent and hopefully it doesn't take too long to find Them if it does it's always my friends. I will just cut out and we will come straight back And just like magic I don't even need to cut it because we've got our next opponent and we'll hop straight into team preview And my opponent is playing his team of zernius requires a type of finny incinero zapdos and a moonga So we've got that x-ray call Um, it's kind of the common call that you're seeing at the minute But with zaptos tagged on and what sometimes is an illegal splot It um, yeah, so or lander us even zaptos is a nice option there It does give the team um an extra dimension of tailwind Speak control there. It also has access to roar as well to help against opposing zernius setting up things like that um Hmm What are we gonna do here? What are we gonna do quillfish? I'm probably not the best of things to leave with. I think we could go talk tomorrow and we could go zernius for sure. Um I don't know if I want quillfish here. I think I'd probably prefer swamp at kayoga if anything Yeah And that's what I think I'm gonna go with now We're relying quite heavily on talking tomorrow to help us deal with the opposing zernius But that's all right. I mean we can do it. We can do it. We know what zernius is all about Um, so hopefully We can do this, but good luck to my opponent I always like playing these x-ray builds I think x-ray is such an incredibly strong core. I mean we played it on the channel We had such a good run with it. We know how strong it is um But I love the the different variations it was seeing now the teams adapting coming out and we're gonna see amungus And zaptos come out for my opponent, so um hmm Now what do we do? We could fake out the amungus and we could geomancy I think it's not a bad play So I'm not really worried what the zaptos does. I mean it could roar us out. It should be bad Oh, we're just gonna see heatwave. This is so That's better for us The burn the burn Okay, because one of the things I could do is um Get rid of the zaptos moonblast and endeavor endeavor the amungus I just worry Like one thing is does the zaptos protect you? Which it definitely could if it does Then the amungus. I guess it can't even put us to sleep. So all it can do is clear some of us So it's not even that bad. I'm gonna moonblast the zaptos. I guess the worst thing is rage powder here And then we're gonna lose Yeah I'm gonna lose tug of tomorrow Okay, tailwind This is not bad actually because the endeavor now puts that amungus right in range The tailwind I don't mind at all because what I'm gonna do now is switch in kayoga And I'm gonna just dazzle with zernius That burn is annoying though. It really is Because we'll get the amungus. We'll get kayoga in As long as the amungus doesn't switch out to reqaza But I mean even then like a heat wave is not going to really worry us too much is it? Even if air locks up And by doing this at least you go tug of tomorrow in the back to bring him and that fake out support once again Because it will be really beneficial when that ray comes back onto the field and because these bits of burn damage that Is zernius is taking i'm not very useful at all Okay, so we're gonna see another rage powder from the amungus gonna see heat wave It doesn't work And it doesn't gleam come out Oh, wow, we get so much damage on this abdos. I didn't expect to do that much damage on it honestly, hmm Okay, so I'd imagine reqaza to come in now Oh, it's zernius It probably had speeds Zernius now what I'll do is switch back into tug of tomorrow Expecting an electric type attack I'll just go for another dozen gleam Problem is though the zernius does potentially get set up with its own geometry here Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear pulling the trigger on that z move Fortunately, we've got the tug of tomorrow in so we just pull that away and uh, yeah, there's the geometry We do have our fake out the next turn, which is nice. Just yeah, really quite useful for us. Um But it's only useful for one take. That's the problem We may have been better going from moonblast into the zernius rather than getting rid of the zapdos here Because now kind of a lot of the tailwind will pitter out The next turn do give my opponent free switch into this reqaza We need to fake out the ray the amount of what? um I think just go for a moonblast into the opposing zernius if we can get some nice damage onto it That would be very very helpful and it's mega evolving which is Helps us out a ton If we can get rid of the zernius we can win this now because we get that rain in with mega swampert would be the the reqaza Oh, we should have dazzling gleamed. Oh, man. You haven't protected the oh, that's crazy Oh, we should have dazzled. I just expected the way to protect but it's not the case is it? so in I mean one thing we could potentially try is me lasso the zern Do we take another round of burn? I don't think you do do we? no But the ray has to extreme speed here really I think we might lose this one Yeah, and yeah because the puzzle zernius is faster It makes it a bit more difficult, but Is this banded ray as well? I think it is Because it makes no sense that you wouldn't protect there I like it the only reason you wouldn't is if you were banded and you you had not option to Hmm Now my now kaioga can't take a banded ray dragon ascent So we've got one hope here We take that uh, and swampload takes a plus two dozen game, which it don't think it does Um I think we have to origin pulse I think we origin pulse and waterfall actually mega evolve waterfall the zernius And origin pulse and hope If we can get oh Maybe we should have protected swamper because that's where I think the moonblast goes Yeah Dragon ascent like we should take this but the thing is we're not going to be able to take down the ray Quasar with an origin pulse from this range. I don't think even with the defense drops Wow We don't even take it. I'm so wrong Must need intimidate support These x-ray calls are causing us all sorts of problems But when you rely on the rain, it kind of makes sense. Anyway, good game to my opponent Um a little bit sad for us to end on a loss, but it has been a very fun ride with the quillfish today and um It didn't really matter what we did in that last turn because either way we would have we would have went down So just a little bit sad that it's ended like that, but never mind good game to all of our opponents today And guys, I hope you've enjoyed the run with the team It's been a lot of fun Like I say, we'll be playing something brand new on the channel next week.
