 Hello friends and welcome back to another episode of our VGC 2020 battle series My name is Lee also known as Osiris and in today's episode We're gonna be continuing on again with this series 6 preparation as we await those rules to drop next week on the first September with a very fun comfy laparous Gudra team so it's a prominent in the format at the minute Gudra obviously picking up a lot of kind of usage at the end of the back end of series 5 and it's carrying on into series 6 It is still going to be eligible comfy really coming into its own is a very good supporting Pokemon office trick room Obviously those priority healing moves and ways to boost Gudra with its SAP zipper ability and also kind of pairs nicely with weakness policy laparous You can max and then you can obviously proc the weakness policy before getting the aurora veil off making it very powerful Rest of the team is made up with a ferrithorn Helps us definitely in that trick room mod We've just went with a regular kind of iron defense body press variant with leech seed helps against things like primarina in particular And you know if your opponent hasn't got the right kind of tools to deal with ferrithorn It can kind of win a game by itself So always something nice to throw on there Then we've got the arcanine gives us intimidate support and a nice fast snarl to la the Special attack of the potential threats like Porygon Z and talking about Porygon Z. We've also got dark Urshifu fighting dark fighting Urshifu in the last slot with the focus sash also something very good against opposing Porygon Z and other things that would become a little bit threatening So this is the team as always what we'll do we are on the casual ladder at the minute because the ranked Battle ladder hasn't updated So we'll have a couple of games with the team and kind of pilot it And then we'll showcase the rental team for you guys to try when the ranked ladder starts officially for next Tuesday After the at the end of the video and as always there is a poker paste down below in the description If you want to just grab that and jump on showdown or anything like that With the team and if you do try that, please let me know how you get on with it What your thoughts are around this comfy lapras g max lapras? The gujre kind of variant is or if you've got your own build there There is a lot of builds at the minute And this is the kind of build that I thought would work quite well quite standard and does all the things that you kind of want it to do so Funny enough. We got our first opponent. It is a series six team legal Of course very reminiscent of the team that we've already featured on the channel this week earlier on if you did miss that obviously you want to check out the Sneasel colossal cobble iron team I'll link it up in the the top right hand corner so you can check that out. So this is going to be very tricky for us particularly because Really we want our trick room up But because we haven't got the focus dash on comfy we've kind of opted for that mental herb It does cause us a few issues because They're going to be easily able to get their surf or their beat up off And kind of start doing some big damage early on And it is very very tricky. I mean we can go weakness policy with lapras Hope that we take the attack from colossal, which we should do And then kind of go from there um So I think what we'll do we'll go comfy. We'll go lapras Um, what do we want in the back? What do we want in the back? Of course um We want goudra I think goudra is not bad. It helps against the amoungas a lot. So there's a ferrithon um It should feel decent as well with the sash but not up top Um, I think we'll go ferrithon is a kind of fall back on everything else and we'll lock in This is going to be a very tricky match very tough match. I think I'd feel a lot Well, would I feel a lot better if we had the sash on comfy? Not really because I think We've got to contend with the surf from the sneeze or anyway um It's just a very strong team in the current format And if you haven't got specific ways to kind of shut it down, which I don't feel like we've got Um, it becomes very difficult. Okay, so We are going to see bravery and we're going to see uh ursha food come up from my opponent I think it is the dark fighting ursha food Let me just check if I've got this right have my has my stream taught me well enough here All right. No, I'm letting you guys down. Okay. It's the water water one So the options are we've got the we definitely have an option to try and trick room here It's whether or not my opponent doubles into us or not Now that would make sense to kind of uh, stop us setting the trick room But if we can get the trick room off, uh, we can pretty much go to town on my opponent to be honest Um, I'm kind of tempted just to protect you, but I think we have to max guard. That's the only that's the only problem because um They can go through the protect with ursha food's ability. So I think yeah, um max guarding is probably the best Play for us. We are wasting a turn of our Um at g max, but at the same time it does help keep lappers a little bit safer The problem comes when um They double into comfy if they do because obviously then we lose our speed control We lose our trick room and then lapras is in a really awkward position going into the next turn kind of hoping we see the bravery Double up into the lapras slot. Maybe close combat. Um, and then ursha food doubling up in that slot as well That would be ideal. We're going to see a close combat into the max guard like we expected and uh rock slide So literally the worst thing that could happen here So touch wood uh is we get flinched. Um, but if we don't comfy pulling through we'll be able to get the trick room off So that puts us in a phenomenal position going into this next turn Uh, literally phenomenal position because now we can go for um, I think rather than setting our weakness policy up What we could do is go double into the ursha food to be honest Or the other thing is we just go for uh a gig of drain into lapras and get our Resonance up. That gives us a little bit of protection against the ursha food sets us up for the next turn quite nicely We'll get rid of the bravery Stop that from being a pain. Um, and we'll probably take a close combat for our troubles But the thing is it's not too bad because the ursha food we can double into at the next turn We get ourselves set up now. So that's the the main thing we get a resonance up Which is also super important for lapras. Um But my opponent doing all the right things, you know, they're not maxing just yet They're kind of trying to stall out the lapras the fact that we've actually been able to pick up a knockout Um, quite early on is is as a positive step for us. Yes. Um, so we'll see close combat Yeah, that makes sense too. I mean we take that pretty comfortably for how powerful ursha food is Now they do get the uh defense drop So they are going to be susceptible to going down this next turn really what we want to try and do is Potentially get a rain up. Um And that'll help us in case the colossal is in the back later on. Um, because It will allow us to uh, uh, that's the other bad thing here. So Lapras is going to be put to sleep, which is not so good. Um Okay Unless it's a fast Unless it's a faster moongus, which you know, it could be could be let's have a look at my my opponent's team It makes sense that it's faster because and with the sash like in all honesty, um Just because it's got the bravery there can can um go along with the tailwind. I think Um, I kind of want to go I'm going to go for the ursha food here and I'm going to go for a resonance Might not be sashed. Uh, it's likely that it is though Um, we get the draining kiss going to do a nice chunk of damage into this ursha food Make sure that comfy sticks around for a little bit longer. Um And do we get there right now? They're they're a slow moongus. Okay, so Uh, it does put us to sleep. So we take a turn of sleep. We've got floral healing though That'll kind of help us uh the next turn. Um If we want and that ursha food's got to feel super great now as long as the comfy's on the field, um, you know Ursha food's not on a great spot So I think what we could potentially do this next turn is uh, may we predict the ursha food? um We could actually pull a double switch to be honest I just don't want comfy going to sleep. That's the only thing and I don't think they allow ursha food to get Knocked out this turn. So I think what we'll do is we'll switch into pherothon and I think we'll go for a Um I don't really want to go after the ursha food just yet I want to kind of get some damage onto your moongus if I can So we'll go for a freeze dry there if we get the one turn wake up that'll be useful Um, I'd be annoying if I've just played myself here and they actually just attack with ursha food go for the close combat Which they do That's a shame and this is going to be bad if they actually double up Um With a close combat as well. Hmm No, they got surgeon strikes. Okay, and that's not the worst could be could be worse could be worse. Um, so That involves probably actually takes the ursha food down here to be honest I think um, which is kind of good in a way because then my opponent's only left with the moongus and um Well, whatever whatever Whatever they've got other pokemon. We do lose lapras. Unfortunately, but um, it's it's done enough so far in the battle I think um, and I I feel now if we can get um Self set up with our iron defenses will be in not a bad spot Um, I think what we'll do is we'll bring in gudra because I do worry about colossal as their last pokemon And that will be that will make things super tricky. It's cobalion. Okay. Oh cabalion cabalion That's fine. Um, I mean, they're probably gonna max but at the same time we can just iron defense And I think we're probably better off just attacking into the cobalion It's a little bit dangerous because it could have the weakness policy I don't think it does though. I think it's probably a salt vest Um, and I think at this point ferrithon feels like it can probably win out once it gets A couple of them iron defenses under its belt We've got to be careful of course with the the cobalion. Um, it is probably going to try and max its attacks No boosts attacks. I should say with its um max my knuckle, but We'll see as long as the trick room's up and we've got at least one more turn So we'll be able to get at least one more iron defensive which should put us in decent shape Gone into the next one. Do you see the sap sipper come out? Getting activated by a spore on the amungus trying to put the gudra to sleep So um, that is useful and that attack boost is going to be really good to help us against this Flying and let me do see the max knuckle here. It's going to be into gudra. We do take that pretty comfortably. Um, of course it's Not ideal. Um, but it's not the worst thing in the world So like I said, now we're going to be able to get on the dimension set I thought we had one more turn we do not we do not so we'll get another iron defensive We'll go for another stomping tantrum into the cobalion It's probably just going to max knuckle again trying to get to plus three with these max turns it would make sense But I still think Farathons going to be in such a good position um Once we get our three iron defenses up and that should kind of lock it really from there because amungus That's the problem with amungus like if you're coming up against farathon It's like you've not got um and any attacking options really against farathons So farathons such a good pokemon to to kind of utilize especially in a format where amungus is so kind of prevalent And you know, we've been using teams Wow But there's a lot of damage Your defense boost is going to help out a lot huh Okay, well There we go. Didn't expect that to take us down, but I guess the stab there you've got to kind of um Understand as well that the max knuckles kind of um, it's capped out, isn't it? So I can't do that much damage plus one cobble iron doing a lot of damage But I mean we're managing to get our iron defenses up and if we can get one more up I think we're gonna be we're gonna be all right. Our roarville does wear off which isn't great. Um And I don't really think that we're gonna be able to Get a trick room up to be honest we'll try we'll try there's not really much else I can do with comfy here I mean, um, there's no need for to heal floral healing Gigadrain's not going to do very much neither is draining kiss. So Trick room our best option if they go for another, um Max steel spike into comfy. I'm super happy with this They're going to boost their defense, but that's it's fine. It kind of leaves room for pherathon We're going to see the max knuckle here into The phera, but I mean look at that we take that I know it's capped, but they are that's uh them Plus one so I mean we take that pretty comfortably here. Um, so may I do probably get put to sleep sport There we go. Okay, so I'm gonna just put this to sleep, which is fine. I mean, we don't really need the trick room I think at this point my opponent's gonna really struggle to deal with there the pherathon now We are set up. We can leech seed if we want. I don't really know if it's necessary to do that Um, of course we can do but like what I was getting back to before was saying before was with the moongas Because pherathon even though we've not got like super effective attacks against the the moongas We're just going to be able to sit in front of it set up and out damage it and you know Not affected by any of its kind of support options I will go for the leech seed just in case It does come in handy depending on how much the the close combat does obviously It's a much higher base attack. So it is going to be able to hit us a little bit harder Cobra lion is plus two as well. So it's not going to be something we have to just Forget about it's going to still do decent damage, but um, they're dropping their defense all the time By doing this. I mean, we could have just went for the body press. It probably would have been a little bit safer but um considering Critical hits and things can happen in this format, you know, you never been there's nothing wrong with being too safe Um, sometimes do you see the gigatrain from the moongas? That looks like it's its only attack on to the comfy And we do manage to get that leech seed which will help us with that recovery here against the the cabalion And comfy stoner sleep for one more turn. So We are going to be able to get a little bit of health back Let you put us out of range of a close combat this next turn and a body press should be enough to get the Cabalion and pick up the knockout and then from there like I'm hoping my opponent just forfeits Because there's not really a way out for them after that Again, what we can do actually rather than the trick room if we get a cheeky little wake up here We can go for a floral heel and into ferrathorn just to make sure that we've got that little bit extra longevity I think my opponent's kind of concentrating down on the the ferrathorn right now as much as they can forget about the um the comfy here And that's what's so beautiful about comfy like it will sit next to pokemon after they're set up and You know the pokemon next to comfy normally attracting so much attention it lets Comfy and it gives it all the room in the world to do what it wants Supporting being really disruptive and things like that. So um in that respect very very good See another close combat take that super well. That's plus two. That's nuts It's not how well we do take that no more iron defense iron bobs Damage another giga drain but into the ferrathorn now trying to chip us down a little bit further here Thinking if they could maybe just get a little bit extra off that would be enough But the body press now going to be enough to get the cabalion And um that kind of wraps up the game for us I think that the only thing like I was saying would Lock the game up for them at that point would be a critical hit and well, you never know They can always happen at the most unexpected time. So that is what pokemon is all about, isn't it? You know, uh, so we'll go for another floral heel into ferrathorn Hopefully we get the wake up now by two turns asleep. So we do manage to and um, we are going to get this Tasty, tasty health back for our little ferrathorn And we'll be able to kind of just I wonder how much a body press is going to do to a mungus Has got the defense boosts. Obviously that um, well the defense boost that the cabalion kind of give it but I don't know Wow, okay. Yeah, that's it's resisted as well. So that's that's pretty nice damage Um, they do have giga drain. Of course they can utilize Um, but we'll just continually do that There's no harm in doing so and we'll go for a trick room because we'll be able to get a trick room now unless the mungus spores Now they're going for the giga drain Which is fine and I think maybe Hmm, no, maybe I was gonna say maybe two body presses gets it But I don't think well, I think it'll be uh, maybe maybe depends on the role I guess now Um, we got the trick room up this next one might get the mungus and that'll kind of shut the game down quickly So that should be good. Wow. This one's dragged on for ages I looked down at the town before when we just had the cabalion and the mungus out It was 12 minutes and then five more minutes have passed. So this one has dragged out But I mean, I guess it's a good example for those of you out there They can see how good ferrathorn can be in some situations. You know, I even got to the point where They hadn't maxed but we were in a position where it's like, I'm not worried now Ferrathorn is going to be able to like clean up from this point, you know And it's always nice to have that fall back Um, when you're using quite like teams like g max lapras and stuff like that where teams are Potentially likely to try and stall you out And if you can't get the momentum that you need in those first few turns You can kind of sit back a little bit and relax knowing that you've got something like a mungus Ferrathorn in the back which can come in and kind of play your opponent. It's on game once Lapras is reverted back to its normal form So good game to my opponent. Nice way for us to start off and we'll jump into our next one Let's go from mustard to music in this next one And um, hopefully it's a little bit quicker. Um, I would like to try and get the uh, the max Goudre going in this game That would be good. And also I did I've got um, I actually had Another lapras build as well. I'll throw it in with all the the team posts when I put them up on monday, but Um, it was with uh, I didn't have goudre in the team. So I had a life orb lapras with Talonflame so we could get it would act a bit like the the whims are caught there With that we saw in series five and prior to that Um, but for I obviously had comfy in the team to to help out lapras as well But I had crocodile in the team because say when you're playing lapras, you know Draco's ult can be a huge problem for you to deal with. So I was like a crocodile does an amazing job So I actually did some calcs slapped the weakness policy on the crocodile So we can max and then we can proc the weakness policy with comfy as well And kind of keep it topped up healthy and stuff like that. So and it worked out pretty nicely So I do have that variant of the team. We've got concord there in there as well So we've got a really nice solid trick room mode in that team Um, and that one's actually got a moongus not the ferrathorn. Um, but It's uh, it is interesting very interesting It's got a lot of the same kind of elements as this team But uh, obviously just with different items in a few different, uh, pokemon selections But uh, let me know let me know in the comments down below if you would like to uh If you'd like to see that variant as well. Um, because we can always I can always feature that. Um As well. I'm okay. All right. Well, let's try let's try and see if we can Hopefully find the opponent. It's it's proving a little bit difficult. Okay. We finally found someone that took forever to take We've got crow vgc. So, um playing a Series 16 looks like and um, we were just talking about dracozolt and their lo and behold there he is So there she is Okay, so my opponent playing talent flame in tele on dracozolt moongus from arena and the Bravery so It is tricky indeed Very tricky And because they've got the autospeed control with the tailwind from the talent flame We don't have fake out here. So it makes it it makes it awkward um In tele on obviously I don't worry too much about in tele on to be honest um I think what we might do is go gudra though. Um I like gudra a lot. We've got to watch out for uh things like Pramerina, but at the same time you do a ferrithon again that we can pull back on Um, okay. So I think what we'll do is we'll go arcanine No, we won't go arcanine. We'll go comfy. We'll go gudra. We'll go arcanine And I think we'll go ferrithon is that last one. Yeah makes sense I feel comfortable like if we're looking at the ferrithon specifically as an end game as well We can identify this is always a good place to look right here team preview What do you need to get rid of for the ferrithon to kind of win out? And I would say talent flame Maybe the bravery, but if you get rid of those two Ferrithon's going to have no issues So it's always good to kind of spot that in team preview You probably a lot of you probably do this already Um and then figure out how you're going to go about beating those pokemon But for some of the new players, it's not it's a nice little thing to just think about Team preview, especially if you've got a pokemon like ferrithon Where you can literally just create an end game position where you can't lose without severe hacks or bad rng um In a lot of situations, you know, just just look in there and just kind of spot on what the threats are and go on Going from there. Okay. I'm going to see drickers alt and the big bird So big bird probably bravery going to go for a tailwind. I'd imagine we still got to be very careful around The drickers alt because you know I can Potentially I think what we'll do we'll go trick room and Thing is I can't switch in I can't switch in arcanine here very freely because of the the big bravery um And they are probably going to max Now we could go double into drickers alt and then go for an outrage into it as well And that will probably get it I would imagine Or we could boost our attack And go for it. I think draining kiss into gudra. We'll try this. We'll try this Um, yeah, I like my ideal situation. It's a nice leave from my opponent. I kind of pin this here like I really want to be able to get Arcanine on the field so I can at least Slow down that drickers alt a little bit, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen Um problem is with going for this play as well. We are still going to boost Um the bravery's attack with this max whirlwind. So it's It's not ideal on any level but What if we can get away with this turn get rid of the drickers alt here? Maybe Maybe they are maxing themselves whatever they're maxing those slower than a gudra, which is interesting um We can maybe get the trick room the next attention Depends depends what we see. So it is the drickers alt coming out from my opponent We will put ourselves on plus one, which is a positive and if we don't see a tailwind here They don't I'm pretty sure we have to see a tailwind um Now what are we doing? It's the giga drain. That's all we needed. Oh my god. What am I doing? Okay. Well, we don't I mean What are we doing? We are going to get the max wormwind off but Dear lord What are we playing at? See if we've got the plus one there we take the drickers all down And then we're in a position where we don't have to worry so much about the bravery the next turn now We're going to take a wormwind in return Into comfy be mad mad man mad mad man. Okay. We go for the trick room because I think Uh, yeah, we're in a we're in a really rough spot. Um, we'll probably see a tailwind here. Maybe um Do I go after the bird the bird now? But I could steal spike into bravery potentially Probably better steal spike and not boosting that attack like anymore than it needs to be. Okay This is madness. I don't know what's going on. This is like the biggest car crash The game ever. Why did I drain in case? I'm not thinking. Okay. Well, that makes sense that switch because then they're thinking we'll go for another one into that slot Thankfully, we managed to take it from the bravery. We're going to get rid of the bravery Which is always a good thing. We do have the floor healing that we'll be able to take advantage of next turn Which is auto beneficial because we're going to get our trick room up the issue is obviously we're slower than the the drake assault and um, we're not going to be able to Take advantage of our trick room too much with our gujra must be like min speed drake assault Because we're not very we've got no investment in speed in our gujra And gujra is not like the fastest of pokemon Kind of it's kind of straight. Well, I guess it's not so strange You maybe want to just bulk it out a lot more and you've got the tailwind So, you know, you're not worrying about drag a pull in this format So I guess you probably don't need to go as fast with something like drake assault Is you you probably have done in the past thing is though now We've got a we've got a couple options. We can go draining kiss into drake assault We can go floral healing into gujra. Um I think we'll go draining kiss into drake assault and I'm going to try and get a max overgrowth Into primarina. Um, we may just lose gujra though We've got the draining kiss off. This should take down the drake assault Oh, it doesn't wow, huh actually survives doesn't gleam Oh gujra hanging on hanging on. Hopefully the drake assault attacks into comfy here Yeah, it is okay without the fence boost. We take that pretty comfortably. This is great because now we should Are we gonna get the primarina? Yeah, we get it. Okay, so that's ideal Um, I can't believe the drake assault hung on through the draining kiss man That's pretty good. So we'll get it the next turn gujra somehow Surviving by the skin of its teeth on two hp. So, um Yeah, gujra is just like the the most tankiest of tank pokemon So, I mean, it's nice to be able to kind of show that in this match even though it's a bit of a mess, but I mean um At least, you know, you've got a little bit of Security kind of fall back on with the defenses of the team if you do click the wrong button Like I've been doing but it's gonna work out It's gonna work out fine because then you see the inteleon come in and we know we're gonna be able to get this Drake as all we can go for a power whip into the inteleon And uh, we've got ferrithon at the back and I mean that's the the big thing here The ferrithon is gonna come in and be able to just war whatever the inteleon has so um, yeah, we'll go for the drain kiss and that will pick up the knockout and um A power whip should get the inteleon here um Should be good, but I mean gudra is definitely a pokemon to pay attention to this format I think um, I think it's just getting better and better As the last two formats like last format We saw a little bit of usage from it handles sun super well Um, and I think this format it's kind of coming into its own so very good game to my opponent Um, a bit of a yeah a bit of all over the one that one the first match was fine, wasn't it? so we'll we'll take that um Drain and kiss and just giving ourselves the disadvantage turn one straight away. Um We just getting drained it would have been so much easier so much quicker as well. My god Never mind right. We'll get this rental team for you friends and then we'll we'll be hitting the road And we will we will we'll make it public for you my friends And if you try it out have a lot of fun with it like I say if you do try it Let me know I'd love to hear your your thoughts on it.
