 Hello friends and welcome back to another episode of our VGC 2020 battle series My name is Lee also known as Osiris and today on the channel We're gonna be featuring a team all around the Buffalo Pokemon Bufalon. So it is a normal type it has been introduced within the Isle of Armour and It is picking up a little bit of usage recently. So it's got a definite niche It's got the sap zipper ability makes it immune to grass type attacks And when it does get hit with the grass type attack, it does boost its attack So it is quite a unique Pokemon in a lot of respects It works in a similar way to what Gudra has been used for at the minute and obviously with Less weakness as I would say just in a different mode and more of a trick room dynamic as well to play along with comfy as you can see we've kind of Combined those two together here in the team so you can see the team on your screen in front of you now Bufalon comfy Lapras Mungas dust globs and Arcanine So we've got the intimidate support from the Arcanine and grass type as well to give us a little bit of more of a Helping hand against things like ferrathon. It could be a bit more problematic We've got the trick room setters in our comfy and dust globs We've got a mungas redirection then it gives us a grass type in as well to help against things like Gastrodon, Primerina things like would be a little bit more tricky to deal with we've got weakness policy Lapras here that plays off nicely with the comfy obviously with the triage ability there We'll be able to proc that weakness policy and then support Lapras really nicely as we've seen come to do a bunch of times here on the Channel with that floral healing and then you could also pair it up with the Bufalon Which is an alternative Dynamax Pokemon and what we're kind of going for here today on the channel with that assault vest So without further ado, let's look into the team as always the team pace will be down in the description below There will be a rental code at the end of the episode so do stick around for that And we'll have a couple of games now with the team kind of showcase to talk through some of the mods with there how it works and Then we'll we'll put that rental team up and Lomba hold We've got a kind of a mirror match here, but it's a little bit different because we've got a goudre comfy team with their Duraladon Right you ferrathon and Primerina so And there's no definite Well, there is kind of a trick room mod in my opponent's team But more of kind of well I guess there is with the Primerina ferrathon definitely a trick room mod and then you've got more faster mod with the Duraladon and the goudre they're double dragon. So You know, I do feel like Lapras with the weakness policy does pretty well here I'm gonna be careful with certain things of course, but we do hit a lot of stuff on my opponent's team pretty hard So even though this is a Bufalon team and I kind of am more leaning towards going for the Bufalon There's not a great deal. It like threatens a super hard and Although the the ferrathon does worry me slightly and we it means we're gonna need to bring the arcanine I think we could probably get away with comfy Bufalon and then maybe Arcanine and Amungus in the back that might not be a bad player at all Because we technically need the arcanine to deal help us deal with the ferrathon really It does help us with the Duraladon as well. So now we can go from there. So let's see Let's dive into it now. I Really should probably bring the Lapras here, but for Because this is Bufalon and it is all about Bufalon. We're gonna we're gonna force it We're gonna bring it and see what we can do. I believe it's a very good Pokemon It's all quite a little bit of usage quite a little bit of usage It's all a lot. It's all a lot of usage in the early days of X and Y When that format first came around in 2011 very early format played with Mushurana Taking advantage of the the SAP separability is particularly against things like Amungus here Now with this office we're in a decent position We could actually just go for Max Quake straight away and imagine the rides She's probably gonna fake out comfy and in all honesty That'd be my best guess You know we could try for a trick room for sure Just the extra special Defense boost would be pretty nice in all honesty if we can get that so we'll go for the trick room See if we can get it. We'll go for a Max Quake into the rides you I'm guessing they're gonna suspect that the Bufalon does Max so they'll probably fake out into the comfy here to Stop our support Chins and we'll probably see the Primerina Hyper voice if it doesn't max here, which it may do. I don't think it will though because Bufalon On our side of the field gonna be the slowest Pokemon out at the moment So it would indicate that there's no max gone there. So there's a fake out and hyper voice potentially Yeah Bufalon taking that like a champ but now the special defense boost that we've got with comfy as well gonna mean that We're gonna be able to take another one of those while we do get the right you down to its sash. So that's quite nice for us Okay, well I Might be worth See what options are now we could go for an attack boost as well right now if we want and we could max knuckle We could max max steel spike as well max steel spike might be nice and go for a giga drain into Bufalon as well Just to give us that attack boost and and depending if we yeah, we're not not gonna see a max from my the opposing Primerina, so what we might be able to pick up the knockout here as we see an electro web come out from the right You're gonna lower our speed stat by one stage Not so concerned really as we see a moon blast into Bufalon leave in the comfy alone Which is kind of interesting honestly and As you do get the steels bike and give us that defense boost as well, which is quite nice just prolonging our Our ability to stick around a little bit longer now We're gonna be in a position now where we can giga drain the Primerina now with comfy and just go for another Attack into the right you here and probably better off going for a knuckle now booster attack again And go for that giga drain into Primerina now We'll be the end of our max turns, but we've got enough out of these max turns where we We've got enough boosts to kind of help us out going forward here. I'm gonna see the Goudre come on to the field So we get the giga drain into the Primerina gonna dodge any damage from that going into this next turn, which is always good And we'll get the max knuckle into the Goudre which should do a decent chunk of damaging I was gonna put us into plus two and You know it is capped you should still do I mean that's not bad is it? That's not bad 50% damage even if that thing maxes the next turn I'm gonna be able to check out a head charge and probably pick up a knockout I'd imagine plus two Booth along and there's no way that good dress knocking us out this next turn So you see the coffee come out for my opponent So we know what my opponent's got left. They got the coffee and They got the right you and a good draft now. I wonder if we can get a trick room up that would be Incredibly good if we could Better to go for the iron head into Probably not into the comfy. I kind of just want to go head charge into Goudre here And I think I'm gonna try and get a trick room my biggest worry here is the Goudre attacks into boofalent and There's enough damage to the head charge recall takes us down and that would be I mean at this point Boofalent's done so much work. So it doesn't really matter. I think we'll be in a great position If we get rid of the Goudre and Kind of clean up the rest of the team that my opponent's got to be honest So I don't think we need to worry too much there. It's just I could be something that could be a little bit of a problem Yeah, the floor healing not ideal at all man, but not doing Much there the one when coming out. Okay, we should take this Yeah, like a champ like a job But yeah, it does depend on how much damage we're doing what the recalls I mean, we've got the floor healing as well the next turn which is always gonna be nice If we can survive this Yeah, we do a big chunk and manage to actually hang on which is great We get a trick room up and now we're in a great position for healing head charge will get Well, it won't get the knockout onto Goudre because I think the thing is we probably need to go for an head Get rid of their comfy before anything I think for healing into us because we're just gonna be in this cycle of taking recall damage and taking a lot of recall damage Every turn until they're not max anymore, so we're better off kind of preserving ourselves get rid of that comfy as well if we can So you see a draining kiss come out just not gonna really do very much at all as you can see We got the iron head and the big beery Berry revealed And we are losing our attack and boosts as well So you've gotta gotta keep that in mind and max quick coming up don't mind this too much special defense boost not to Concerning for us right now because we are more physically Oriented now another iron head should take down that comfy. Um, now we could go for a healing or we could go Sapsiper and comfy. I think probably sapsip as a career better idea It's gonna be the last turn of my opponent's max as well Just to give us that attack boost back and make sure that we do pick up the comfy With Bufalon, and I think even a double up in the book lot now is not going to be Enough to take it down like the draining case and whatever the Goudre chucks out It's just not going to be enough and as we see another floor healing into the Goudre Which we don't mind at all because it's not really getting too much out of these turns If I'm completely honest and getting rid of the comfy is like the big thing for us because that's the support network for my opponent's team, you know, that is the thing that's gonna Prolong the longevity of these max Pokemon and the Pokemon that my opponent's got as we see another one when you come out and Yeah, the good we're not able to get any boosts at all It's really the thing that's kind of helped us out here, right? She's gonna come in this next turn, but We're gonna be able to get a floor healing off before it can fake us out. I believe So that should help us and even if not, we should be able to get a head smash into the Goudre And that'll be able to kind of deal with that now Because we are plus one and it's not max anymore So that should be enough to take it down as we just got head smash I mean head charge and charge and we'll go for that floor healing into If they're right, you fix out boofalon here, then it's fine We'll get the floor here and we'll take an attack from Goudre You know when we're in a super nice position to kind of wrap this one up pretty pretty comfortably And we still got two fresh Pokemon sitting in the back. So But boofalon here we go. Here we go. This is exactly what we want You know the feature match is sometimes a little bit tricky where we can't get there the Pokemon that we like The team's kind of based around to work as well as we wanted to But really doing a lot of work here as we see an earthquake come up from the Goudre Just sacrificing its own right you are quiet enough to get the comfy on our team Unfortunately because of that defense boost that we got with the steel spike earlier And that's one of the beauties about boofalon as well, you know, it's max moves are ideal. It's it's really good at Having the best like max moves to offer, you know a boost the special defense with the max quick boosts defense with The max steel spike and then gets max knuckle as well to boost that attack and max strike If you need it to lower the speed on your opponent's team, so Very nice win for us there to kick off with and we'll swiftly move on to our next match as we team gets the We don't know disrespect my opponent, but we're on it. We're on a timescale tight timescale We've got no time to check out teams just yet. So That's a nice victory and we will move on. So yes, like I say and Boofalon doing really well there and hopefully be nice to see it do a little bit better in this next one as we've got our next opponent playing a team of go guys Urshifu, PZ, Clefairy, Talonflame and Rotomwash. So Hmm, I mean Comfy nice here to get the trick room up for sure Maybe Comfy Arcanine isn't a bad play Then we can get the trick room up if we get if we can get Boofalon into a trick room environment I think that would be and there's not a moongus on my opponent's team to kind of Threaten that so that'd be would be a nice option for us I think they've really got much like if we get the trick room out it feels like we've got a pretty free reign to kind of Do what we want here And if Comfy fails, I guess we could maybe Rely on Dusclops or a moongus Moongus is probably the better one because it's dressed like Urshifu and Rotomwash Could be a little bit problematic I think a moongus is a nice one, especially if we can get a trick room up and if we're in a really tight spot where And we can't get a trick room up at least we've got the redirection to kind of maybe help Comfy out a little bit there Intimidate it's going to be useful against things like Urshifu And Talonflame especially the Urshifu now normally it's going to be creating with its whatever attack it's got But close combat some more threatening thing to Boofalon So you know being able to intimidate that that hasn't got that guaranteed crit chance is a little bit better for us So let's see if we can pick up a second of victory which would be Extremely good. I'd be I'd be super happy if we can But Boofalon is always a Pokemon that I really like. I've always thought it's like um Taurus like Like 2.0 really isn't it like Taurus it should have been the Taurus evolution Taurus is a Pokemon that I really do like as well, but uh, again, doesn't see as much play as it maybe maybe should Right. Well, we see the PZ and the Ecliphari So what we can do is trick room, which is the main thing that we want to do We've identified that already team preview. We want a trick room Obviously got to worry about seeing from the Clifari, which it's bound to have. Wow. And uh We just had a follow whoever that was thank you very much for the follow That's bled over into the into the video Which it probably has done so Whoever it was. Thank you. I can't actually see right now Yeah, like I say, we're going to be able to get the snarl off into PZ We've got to worry about I guess if they think we're going to trick room They could counteract a trick room With a trick room if they are and it doesn't really get them anywhere I mean, this thing is the one thing that I do worry about on Clifari Twice sometimes having to safeguard on on arcanine isn't a bad play But really what we want to be looking at here is they go follow me maybe protect on Clifari and um Get rid of the arcanine here because we can't survive an attack from the PZ after the snarl But getting that special defense drop is going to be going to be really big for us here Help in hand and deal if they go after the comfy though We are sash so it doesn't mean that arcanine is going to stick around and get another snarl off the next turn again, just helping out Support the the porygon Z a little bit And reduce its attacks that so it's max strike coming out and it is into comfy Um, but like I say with the sash there, this is the main reason why I got the sash on comfy because Um, just for reasons like this It just means that we can take this big the huge attacks from PZ and make sure that we can get a trick room setup Now speed has dropped on both comfy and arcanine um, but Same time it's not the worst thing in the world because we do get a trick room up, which is the most important thing. Um Now it's a little tricky, of course Just because of this thing That's what makes it more tricky than anything else, you know And I don't really want to switch comfy in to something I mean we could bring in a movie and then we could put things to sleep which might be quite nice Um, it would mean that we um, we'll go for another snarl, of course I think arcanine at the minute is probably the most expendable thing on the team It's probably not they're never expendable, but the thing that I don't want to bring in is poofalon here I want to get poofalon they're kind of in for free if we can Um moonblast coming out. I'm going to be into that comfy slot So that's fine because we probably see a max strike into the the arcanine I would imagine to try and take that down there, but we do get a second snarl off Which is so huge for us here. Um, and we've got a mungus on the field perfect position Where this next time we can put the cliff area to sleep and shut that thing down Got for another snarl maybe all get from flaunt onto the field. Yeah arcanine gonna tank that now on minus two So that's what I mean The next time we're gonna be able to get another snarl slow this mungus down This poor can see don't even further and get the um Get the sport off into the cliff very which is which is nice And this is the thing anymore what you need to do with pz is slow it down because if it starts picking up momentum and getting those Knockouts that's when things get like really bad, you know And that's when things get super tricky So i'm hoping now we see follow me just to kind of protect the pz from the sleep Like pz is not really the the the problem pokemon anymore You know that this thing from the cliff varies more of an issue for me now So being able to shut down the uh, the cliff area is nice We'll get another snarl off and we'll probably lose arcanine like ideally we want to lose arcanine now That's what we want because we want to get buffalon onto the field because the next turn We can go for the steel spike into the cliff area get rid of it there with buffalon Uh get the defense boost to put the pz to sleep and then start the um, no, okay, no, okay max max lightning There we go. Okay. Well Not what we want to see uh Because it stops us being able to uh have things to sleep but at the same time um It's not the end of the world Because we are going to be able to rage powder. I mean we could just giga drain I mean what's pz? I do worry about the hyper beam coming out. I mean, what is the pz? Is it minus three now? Minus three. It's not going to be doing anything. It's not doing anything. Okay. We're going to go for a giga drain I'm going to get buffalon onto the field right now. We've got this whole vest as well. So it's kind of further boosting that um special defense I imagine the uh, the pz to maybe switch out here, but it doesn't appear as it's going to Or is it no no switch up very gonna stay in the field And uh, we're gonna test your giga drain into the pz get some nice damage there onto it. Um always useful To save for play obviously every time it's going to be rage powder. So you see a shadow ball Um, but I mean if they shadow ball into arc and that would have been a great great result for us I think the pz is going to be in giga drain range now honestly So as we giga drain and I will go for that steel spike into the cliff area It could be really cheeky here Honestly and go for a giga drain into buffalon boost the attack and get the the plus one steel spike into cliff area So we've got that option as well to go for you You know, you don't always have to rely on the confi in the trick room um Setting to take advantage of buffalon. Um I still think the the poor you can see may switch out. You know, I do see I can't see Makes sense. Yeah to to withdraw we set those drops so you can get it in the late game Maybe and take advantage of it there and we need to make sure that we're getting at least I mean as long as a moongus is sticking around on the field, it's going to be fine. Um, Obviously the rotom coming in there Uh, it's fine for a moongus gonna Lap up that giga drain into the air The rotom wash there can be super effective and hopefully be able to take down this cliff area right now with a Steel spike. I'm gonna say just get the defense boost, which is gonna be super super good for us Maybe in the late game depending on what my opponents last pokemon is of course Uh, so there's a giga drain that should take about 50% Oh, not quite. So it's definitely a calm calm Rotom probably a little maybe maybe just invested who knows as we get the steel spike from boofalot Not quite enough to pick up the knockout onto cliff area, which is uh Not great honestly. Um, but we'll be able to see the speed tiers here. Okay. I mentioned turn back to normal Kind of all right honestly, I think maybe we go for another giga drain. I'm not really too I am worried about the rotom. It could have willow isp. I don't really want to risk the willow isp here I'm going to go max quick into the ferry now because we need that extra special defense boost because Um, it's going to be one of those things Where pz is going to come back in if we don't have that extra special defense boost It's going to make it harder taking the the hyper beam remember we've only got two max turns less for them We can't see us getting clear in the field this turn. Um, unfortunately, the rotom's probably got a berry as well So we have to be a little bit careful around what? Um, what we do, I think just to be a little bit more Precautious because right, you know willow isp used to be a very common thing on rotom wash, but see not so much anymore That's what I do worry about a little bit the uh, the nasty plot coming out from the rotom not ideal Um, now it's going to be on plus two. So that does become a bit more of a threat I'm just not too concerned about that but um It is going to be a lot more threatening and going forward in this match Than it was before then getting quite a little bit my pot of making a nice player there Taking advantage of us having to get rid of the conferee really because we need to remove it because the the follow me threat That's there. Okay. So now I think what we will do is we will we will protect and i'm going to ignore the rotom and i'm going to go after The porygon z I'm going to go after the porygon z Because I think you doubled a like you've got to target the moongus here. I think if you're pz You've got to target it. You've got to I mean you could double into a bufflon I don't even think pz rotom is going to be enough to get the bufflon We'll soon find out though because they might have just done that hyper beam into moongus. Yeah, and then What we're going to see thunderbolt. Okay Into moongus doubling in there making sure they get rid of it All covering for a switch. I guess Um, it will get the pz. So that's nice to get rid of that threat Um, and also a lot of the speed on that rotom, which might help us out a little bit later on in this match Maybe not that Um, but I think with the moongus on the field like it's not really worried about a boosted Rotom so that you know, that's the one thing that we don't need to worry about an ocean food coming in now This is a bit of a problem for us, of course, but with uh, if we can just get some damage onto ocean food now Uh confi's going to be able to to deal with it. What what ocean food is it as well? It's a fighting dark type. Okay. Well, we do have close combat. So it's going to wicked blow. I think um Okay, that's that I think we need to um okay No, let's rage powder And let's head charge Now let's close combat the ocean food because then like the rotom if it protects It like the ocean view has to attack here. The ocean view has to attack Has to wicked blow. Yeah, let's take a stand about eight percent damage. It should proc a berry What's not even doing that so it's not banded Had your pump We get lucky we get very lucky there Um, okay. That's perfect And now it's in drain kiss range. So that's ideal. So now we just rage powder and just head smash the rotom Um a wicked blow might take us down But a hydro pump from the rotom is definitely not going to do that. So we just head head charge the rotom And that should allow us to get Confian and draining kiss for the win onto the ocean view. So that's that like yeah Could have been a bit trickier and game, but um I think because they have to try and get rid of the moon The moon is being the big player here for us and causing my opponent all sorts of problems Wicked blonde should take us down now Oh, I'm mungus hanging on with 2 hp hero and mungus and going to be able to take whatever the rotom throws out is now so We might be able to Finish this game off with our man another hydro pump miss. That is brutal my opponent. That is very unfortunate Head charge. What great animation as well. So first time I've seen the animation for that as well on In-game, so that's super nice and buffalon going to be able to Literally pick up every KO in this match as we rage powder and sacrifice the mungus for another Head charge into the ocean view and I hope my opponent allows us to play this one out Cancellation oh well good game to my opponent and two great games of their showing buffalon So I'm actually really excited for this episode going up. I really am looking forward to it It's weird that we've got the lapras in the team and we've not featured it But it gives the team another dimension another element for you to play around with if the buffalon is an extremely bad picking in games, you know so As I said earlier, what we will do is we'll get the rental team for you guys Again, like I always have been saying of the past few episodes. I am taking down a lot of the older Rentals these new ones will be up for a little while But if there is any of the older rentals that you You had seen you'd like to play around with still let me know and I can put them up on my second switch So I'm going to pick a team to take down. Which one is it going to be? Um, I think it might have to be Oh the rabbit the rabbit because we've got everything new Recently, I think can't really take perish down because that's just recently gone up I'll be the next one to go down. So I think it's going to have to be the bunny The bunny's gonna have to go. Unfortunately. The bunny's just went up though. That's the problem. Um Bunny has just went up Might have to be this one the gengar ish if you want Don't make public. Okay. I'm sad because I do love this team. It's probably my favorite team this gen Honestly, this is the oldest one. So it makes sense to take this one down. Um, and then I can pull the buffalon And make it public And then get the code for you friends Friends friends friends I like the poker face to be down in the description a poker face for all of the teams is always down in the description So it's always going to be there the information be there for you to check even if the rental team isn't up But uh, we'll keep this one up for as long as possible. You've got the buffalon and the laparous dustclops Comfy and mungus and arcanine. So the team did really well today. There is a code Hope you have fun with it if you test the team out try it out on the ladder Do let me know as always though I'd love to hear and that about wraps it up for today's episode Thank you so much for tuning in As I always say if you have enjoyed this episode, please remember to hit that like button It literally takes two seconds just to go down there smash the like and really helps the video more than you can know And if you want you to the channel, make sure you do hit that subscribe button as well for more of these videos and Future pokemon content.
