 Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our Road to Ranked Roulette series, my name is Leigh also known as Osiris and today we're going to be finishing up sadly with this team that we kicked off with at the start of the week kindly nominated by your good cells from your nominations and remember the nominations for next week are now up on our community page. Get over to that post I guess and make sure you get your nominations in because it will be the last week of the Road to Ranked Roulette series before we move into more serious content after that so it's going to be very exciting hopefully moving into the new 2020 season rules pending they get released this weekend and of course this weekend is World Championships it will be starting today so very exciting for the the whole of the community and I wish everyone watching a great event I wish everyone over there just an even better event I hope you all have a really nice time over in Washington DC last time I was there it's a really nice one for myself I'm sad that I couldn't be there this year but I got seventh in the world that year so that was pretty nice but haven't been able to replicate it since but you know 2020 is the season to be jolly that's what I've heard anyway we'll be trying anyway next season obviously I won't be able to commit to as many events as I would like to in a really competitive season but I will be going out all guns blazing to the events I can and I'm really looking forward to it already so we've got a lot of dates of course and I'm just rabbiting on so anyway getting back to this series this is the team this has been the best team so far we've had on the road to running through let series it's been amazing I haven't activated any buttons I'm not going to start activating buttons today we're seven two at the moment with the team let's see how we can finish up today it would be amazing to go nine two I'm not holding my breath because we peg our hopes on these results and it doesn't quite happen sometimes so we're just going to go into the games and see what happens and just have some fun with the team and give it a really good send off hopefully and I hope you all have enjoyed this week on the channel it's been really good and I'm really looking forward to end up with something really fun next week so make sure like I say get over there nominate those Pokemon and we'll have a really great last week and this is the bar remember we've set the bar now we've got to do better than this next week it's going to be hard but without further ado let's get into it today music is on we're looking good and as always if you enjoy this sort of content my friends please remember to drop a like on the video do subscribe to the channel for more pokemon content which I can guarantee you there will be a boatload of in the future we're sitting on a rating of 1512 which you can see right here which because we had a little bit of a loss yesterday we'll go with max in arch we never have this track so change it up a bit and do leave your comments down below let me know what your favorite match has been from this week our favorite moment from a match this week I've got some gems I think Porygon Z has been incredible every time every grad on we faced I think it's knocked out so big props to Porygon Z the salamence has performed well and I know Johnny has said that we can take the reins off it but I thought now we're not going to change it we're going to keep it as it was it was stated at the start we're going to go all the way with it and see what we can do but we got one as our first point of the day so let's hop over into team preview and see what we're going up against have we played one I just I see an Umbrian and I'm like have we played him but probably not but we might have done such maybe a rematch but we've got salamence Tapulele Duskmen across my the Umbrian Kangaskorn and the Groudon so we've got the jewel mega on the team between the salamence and the mega and it's probably depending on what my opponent faces obviously and then you've got the Tapulele that supports that Dawnwing's Duskmen across my sorry and the Ultra and across my when it does ultra burst the Umbrian there nice snarl support user sometimes has snatch I'm sure I was worried about that the last time we played it and then the Primal Groudon to make up the restricted core between that and Ultra and Duskmen across my so what are we gonna do here what are we gonna do I think salamence is pretty good again we have to be a bit careful about the Tapulele they don't have a lot to they do have they've got ways to hit the shinninger so maybe shinninger is not the way for us here mercurial is just generally good again isn't it because mercurial just causes all sorts of havoc have to watch out for that tapulele but I think covering it with the sogaleo is not a bad idea we can get a tailwind up 100% so we've got a Groudon we'll bring Porygon Z for sure and I think salamence might be a nice pick as our last one we could go Zekrom but salamence feels like it's probably a little bit better so good luck to one and hopefully we can pull out a victory to kick us off today I'm feeling good about it it's so nice actually coming into this series and we're sitting down to record again you think the pressure's on we're doing well this week let's not mess it up and I haven't had that for a long time it's always like oh man it's been going so bad this week please give us a victory give us a break but no it's been it's been amazing this week's been great so I can't complain at all and we're going to see the tapulele and the dusk me and the cross mark come out so we can guarantee our tailwind up for sure it might mean sacrificing our little Mercro um do we stay in the Sougaleo that's the problem um hmm if we lose Sougaleo what have we got to deal with the I mean the Ultranocrosm is not too bad if we get targeted down in a Sougaleo slot then it means Mercro is not really taking any damage so it's not the worst thing in the world I go for a sensual strike we haven't got protect on Sougaleo so um it's just one of those things we can't protect this turn it would be nice to I think here we go and we should survive just uh an earth power so I think to get rid of the Sougaleo you really have to kind of commit and double into that slot to get rid of it there's a little Mercro going for his tailwind here and we're going to see Mooblast so Sougaleo save this turn um at least we should take this oh just about three HP Mercro is the tank of all tanks earth power coming out we should survive this just out of very range we'll be able to get rid of that Lele and we're in a nice position this next turn where we can go for the foul place and she'll strike into that Ultranocrosm or we can double into whatever comes in if it is the Groudon though it makes me a little bit annoyed because I'm like we need Horygan Z out we need PZ on the field right now to uh to deal with it um and with that in mind it might be better to just double into the Ultranocrosm maybe although if you bring in if you do bring in the Groudon you've got to think yeah we'll probably better off I mean I'm quite happy at this point losing both I think the one thing that gives Salamence a like a big headache is the the Tapulele um and maybe an earthquake and a foul play into the Ultranocrosm and we'll do the job the problem is always going to be if the Ultranocrosm protects in the Groudon just goes for a precipice blade um but then Mercro comes out it's got three doesn't it so swings and roundabouts let's go for that earthquake we'll get damage onto the Groudon the Crosmer as well and maybe an earthquake plus foul play is enough to get it I don't know you've got to think like it does have no no protect coming out so let's see what the damage is like doesn't affect Mercro because we are a little flying type I mean the damage isn't great is it it's not too bad foul play let's see come on Mercro let's pick up the knockout if we can yes the bird the bird is back the bird is so good I literally love Mercro it's one of my favorite Pokemon I think I like of all time after this series it's so cool just a badass it's got like a hat on it's a bird with a hat come on we'll get better than that so we lose so go go out but it does open the door for ah easy to come in and here we go the madman himself salamence ooh tasty tasty tasty right we go for the z move into I think we'll be fine we need to like I just worry about the Groudon protecting here that's what I worry about this is the last turn the tailwind um I don't really want to lose Mercro because we do get our tailwind I mean one one thing we could potentially do is just foul play the salamence uh it potentially goes for let's go for the z move into the Groudon I mean let's go for the turkey I just worry about the Groudon protecting here so salamence gonna mega evolve okay here we go come on let's have a triple triple peasy yes come on peasy like the shout the call for worlds and I'm saying it now if you if you're worried about Groudon going into worlds it's a morn of world championships if you need anything there's no more better evidence than this week on the channel every time this little peasy has come up against the Groudon it's kicked its butt it's like literally literally not even giving it a chance to get an attack off it's fine it's like it's gone it's done Mercro coming out get that nice foul play let's see hyper voice makes sense but um it's all right because we've got Portagon Z and we've got salamence in the back Mercro man putting in the work such a beast we've got our own salamence in now we've got giga impact we've got tailwind we've got ice beam as well we can just double into the the opposing men's um just yeah we'll go giga impact giga impact oh did we go hyper beam we've not really had much we've got both double hyper beam out on the field let's go I'm not gonna click hyper beam with Portagon Z we've got a bit more ice beam a bit more reliable but we're gonna see the full fit so we do pull out a victory for our first one today I'm happy now I'm happy eight two we are this week eight two can we finish nine two that is gonna be the big question it's uh it's been I can't believe it I can't believe it I'm saying it I really can't um it's been really good so yeah I'm just gonna we're just gonna go into the next one not gonna get too excited about it all I'm I'm like literally I'm like screaming inside with excitement I'm like literally I love this series so much you know there is I think the thing is with it let's go alternate cross my version two we're sitting on a rate in 1532 those dizzy heights we've never hit before um yeah I think because so many weeks it's such a struggle so when we have a week like this and I kind of knew that we'd get a team eventually that would really click and it would work and we'd have a really smooth run but I think because of how grindy it was in some of those earlier weeks and previous weeks where we're just getting absolutely bopped every game and then you come across this gem of a week and it just makes it and I think that's what it does it just makes it even better than it would be normally like normally if we're in a competitive series and we're playing a serious team we're playing like this we're getting these kind of results it's fine it's normal and we're not really making anything of it but when you're struggling so much all of the time and then you come across like a little streak like this you feel on top of the world and you feel like yeah ash catch him eat your heart out this is the this is a real anime where it is here we go it's going to take a little bit longer to find our next opponent but I'm going to cut it right here and we'll be right just like that you're gonna do that to us come on so rude rude okay so we've got an ex-opponent let's hop straight into team preview okay so we've got a bit of psychic spam coming from the opponent and this next team we've got stack attacker tapu lele and mandibus a groudon incinero and a mutu so we're probably looking at mega mutu x with the tapu lele there scoff tapu lele I would imagine um stack attacker gonna give the team some tail rare trick room support for that groudon and a trick room kind of counter as well the mandibus offers tailwind support you gotta imagine it's probably psychic seed on this team although you can't count on that it would make a lot of sense though um with that tailwind support there and then the incinero there with this fake out support which does conflict a little bit with the psychic terrain if that does come out but again mercro does have to be a bit careful around the stack attacker of course but other than that I think it can do its role we'll definitely get a tailwind off and we've got nice taunt options here to shut some setup down um so we'll go mercro do we go so go leo again I feel like I want to just go the same for again you know to be honest and bring the the ments in the back but maybe not the ments maybe no we do need the ments for the groudon just in case things go a little bit pear shaped um uh it's just zekrom might be better I'm gonna actually throw zekrom in in the last slot just because it gives us a better answer against the mandibus we've got earth power as well for the stack attacker for the groudon for the incinero so it kind of it can do a decent job it's just that flying type bonus that salamence gives us that we'll be missing a little bit we just gotta make sure that poigonsi deals with this groudon like we know it can yeah okay so we're gonna lead off again with our mercro and so go leo I'm gonna say stacks come out with tabulele perfect um now what would we do here do we want to go for a tailwind do we want to go for a torn do we want to go for a superpower into the stack attacker now we could go superpower into stack attacker I worry about the stack attacker being sash though that would be my my only worry I think um I do want a tailwind for sure uh so we'll go for that we'll go for a superpower because it's more likely the stack attacker in my opinion to have the shukaberry than the chocoberry um and the only other issue would be the sash but we're gonna go for it no no no no why didn't they consider ally switch we've done that thing what we always love to do to our opponents look at that damage pathetic okay oh it's just going for the rock slide so we're not getting actually we're not getting caught out that's good but mercro man mercro mercro you did well you did well there's a beast boost we don't like to see those defense okay um it's time for pz to hit the come in ah this is really really not great because um it's all the mind games now isn't it it is the mind games do we catch my opponent out could go hyper beam into the lele and go for the superpower again into the stack attacker it's just the defense is so high now that's the thing I just don't know if we'll be able to get it with the superpower um we might be better off doubling into it with a nice beam and a superpower we could go earthquake that's the other option but I think at this point we need to try and get as much damage as possible onto it lele protects okay hopefully this will be enough right there's the ice beam come on just do I don't know if it's going to be enough after the defense boost so go to the rest crit there we go get that crit return yes okay I'm pretty sure we might not have actually picked up the knockout there now we want the ground on to come in we still got to worry about the the ally switch as well um I guess one thing we could potentially do I like are you worried about ally switching now or would you prefer your lele to um I don't know because we could precipice blades and just go for the z the z hyper boys how many turns of tailwind do we got left because does it make sense for them to protect now no makes sense for them to protect on the next turn really go for the breakneck blitz now do we go right into that slot I could just be a bit more wary and go for a wide guard here I think that's what I'll do I think I'll go for the the z move wide guard just in case we see an ally switch might be a waste of a turn we're not gonna see it and we're gonna take down the ground on four in a row I'm telling you I'm telling you all the ultimate ground on the ultimate ground on killer it is look at this four times this week this thing has been incredible MVP of the whole series I'm gonna I'm just gonna say it now MVP of the whole series bye bye ground on see you later sayonara okay so oh no we're gonna lose pz no okay depends what the last pokemon is as well because our tailwind is pittering out pittering out if it's me too which I presume it is this might be difficult our attack isn't as good as it potentially could be with sogalail and then zekrom in the back it would have been better to have potentially would have been better to have salamence here if it is me too it's mandibus called it called it okay that's good um but we need to be careful against mandibus I don't think the mandibus has protect so we can I think doubling into it here is definitely our best option um since your strike fusion bolt should be enough to get it it's fine it's fine because as long as we get the lele and zekrom still alive and kicking we'll be able to get the mandibus with zekrom it's fine it's the if we lost sogalail here and a zekrom was left against that lele that's when it would be bad but it looks like yeah gonna be enough um the mandibus what are you doing now tailwind okay I mean I don't mind this at all because it's not really gonna help the mandibus add too much it's kind of knackered against zekrom to be fair like big bad zekrom gonna steal the show end up this week nine and two we haven't won yet of course something drastic could happen where you going and it's kind of paying off being more specially built as well now with the zekrom like a hundred percent because like if we've been physically that would have done at least 50 percent that does a lot of damage since steel strike I don't know if we're gonna pick up the knockout here after the the drops that we've had be surprised if we do but you never know nah and there's the berry okay but I think we'll be we'll be fine yeah weirdness disappears and I don't think mandibus as good as mandibus is can take on these two restricted pokemon by itself so I'm pleased now that we did pick the zekrom the last minute change has definitely paid off here for us oh great so we do get the berry activated get all that nice health back just guaranteeing that we'll be able to beat this this mandibus once the tailwind pit is out we'll probably not take it down this turn oh we will because zekrom's like nope let's do it so my friends nine and two nine two we finished this week that is incredible that is incredible I mean we wanted to give the team a great send off I don't know how else we could have done that like in any better style it's been amazing this has been the best week we've ever had on the rods rank roulette series and like I say it's setting the bar now for us for other weeks this is what we need to beat and it's going to be a tall order it's going to be really tall order the team's been incredible there's always a team is down in the description below there's a raw paste of poker paste immortalize it in your minds put it frame it up on your wall I'm going to do it I might actually do it I might do it I don't know should get a t-shirt made with it on the team the team the mvp mvp and polygons on the back there just beating down on groudons just loads of groudons beneath it anyway we're going off on a tangent you guys need to get yourselves away because the world championships will
