 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 one of the brand new hidden ability starter Pokemon that we just had access to if you are a little bit Confused about the hidden ability Pokemon don't know anything about them I want to know how to get them in game then and there will be a little eye in the corner up here Just click on that I'll take you over to a little guide that I did the other day and telling you how to get these Pokemon So we've got Cinderace with Libero We got the Intelian with Sniper and we've got Rilaboom finally with grassy surge now today's team It's gonna be centered around the Cinderace. You can see it on your your screen right now. Um, I Came up with this the evening of this The the starters being released I thought yeah, it would be great to have something aqua jet ain't into Cinderace and then proc the weakness policy Unfortunately, it's taken me a little bit of time to get the team ready test it out and then get it ready to upload for you guys to see But as always there will be a rental code of this team at the end of the the the episode So stick around for that and you can try it out They'll also put a poker piece down in the description below for you guys to try out on showdown or anything like that if you try got a spot and cast of obviously the The aqua jet user is gonna be Primerina. We've got Grimstar there with the Grimstar's got the wrong items, so we'll be right back Okay, so we're back and with the correct item on Grimstar some reason I trade an item with it It's obviously got the Roselli barrier it absorbs those fairy type attacks a little bit better We got Draper there main reason I got Draper in it's the only Pokemon we've got in the format at the minute It has access to cloud nine which negates the effects of weather It just gives Cinderace a little bit of a helping hand against opposing weather teams things like Venus Oh and the Sun things like Exkidrill and the sand and rain in general it doesn't like facing so with Draper It means we can nullify the weather effect and we can kind of operate the team how we want to then we got Exkidrill They're mold breaker and then our own Rotom Mall which is our final Pokemon of the team. So without further ado my friends Let's hop into it. I hope you're all well keeping well enjoying All of the updates that we got the other day we got a mad day of updates on Tuesday We've got all the information about the DLCs I'm not all of the information, but a bunch of information about the DLCs It was really exciting to see that trailer get the announced it and everything like that So exciting times only a week in a bit to go now before the DLCs are released the island armor I can't wait. I can't wait. I can't wait We'll be doing some more updates on that as we go But we got a first opponent of the episode so I'm gonna be playing dicey and they are they've also got a drampa Who would have thought so drampa? Incinero Conqueror the alchemy Lapras and dusk Clops so it's kind of standard-looking Lapras team mix with the exception of the drampa there Now against Lapras with this team I really need to kind of prioritize getting damage onto the Lapras early on and then have Like the cinderace in the back and with something like per marina. So The alchemy is a little bit of a pain honestly to deal with because I Think it kind of forces me to lead grim snarl and Wrote him to have the fake out onto the alchemy Taunt there as well to stop that. So I think and kind of forced my heart into going grim snarl wrote him Hmm Extra drill would be nice extra drill would be nice here, but we're not gonna go with it We're gonna go per marina I'm gonna go cinderace in the back and we're gonna lock in and see how we get on now in my testing with this team Lapras teams seem to be the kind of ones that were the most difficult to play against and so I've tried my best I think it's more to do with how you lead against them Obviously with this specific team than anything else And the big thing is to you've got to stall out the the the g max turns if you can as best you can And then obviously the aurora villas well stall that out as best you can Um, and then kind of go from there now. I think we have to like Come to the the conclusion that we're gonna lose wrote him this first turn to um A g max resonance, but if we can get some just big damage off onto lapras here Then that that's that's the main thing. So I'm gonna go for a leaf storm. It is our biggest damaging attack Uh, oh, we're not actually gonna see huh Wow, have they just misclicked? Wow, well, that's that makes things so much easier. Uh, we do get the special defense drop a special attack drop proper weakness policy now This isn't the worst like honestly, um algorithm does flinch obviously freeze dry kind of come out Probably pick up the knockout. Anyway, we might actually take it Oh, no, no not with not after the weakness policy. What am I talking about? We might take it Okay, um, now do we bring in cinderace or do we bring in per marina? Can we Hmm Probably better off bringing in Cinderace go for a g max fireball Get the sun up Taunt that alchemy Um Yeah, because we should be able to get the lapras in a couple at least a couple of uh a couple of turns So speed doesn't matter so much against this team because primarily their speed control is going to be um trick room Rather than any sort of speed boosting, uh, didn't really have too much of that in team preview So we will taunt the alchemy. We want to stop that decorate for sure Uh Thing that worries me a little bit is the lapras obviously has got. Um It's weakness policy proctor, which makes it a lot more threatening here. Um But if we're going to lose anything with the remaining point one that we've got I'd rather lose cinderace than lose the per marina like in all honesty Um And I don't think an iron head like we need the stab Like i'm gonna get stab move whatever but I think pyro ball is probably a stronger attack here So we're not gonna see it, uh G max again, which is kind of it's kind of strange Uh, they must be going for a different sort of strategy here Unless their g max button is um just broken. So we do get the sun up. We do Take down the lapras Which i'm like still surprised about I don't know how okay, we're going to see charm coming out from the alchemy So that's a nice option on you. You normally see the decorate there, uh, but the taunt completely shutting it down Um, what's going to come in? Drampa, okay, it's going to nullify the effect of the sun Which is fine because we can pretty much double into the drampa now. Um Is it worth going for an airstream? Or is it worth going after the alchemy? Hmm I think we've got airstream here Like I say it doesn't really matter too much It would be nice if we had primarina on the board so we could proc our own weakness policy But maybe the drampa does that for us. You know, let's see Um But this barrier break is going to be useful onto the drampa for sure as we do see it Dynamax it's the first Dynamax drampa I've come across Still think probably would have been better off going for the lappers, but I might that might come back to bite me in Really hard. So we'll get this. Um Dynamax airstream off I'm gonna be doing too much damage See, I don't really feel like the steel spikes going to really benefit us too much Maybe it will um against something like concordia, which could potentially be in the back um, and I guess the other thing that we've got to worry about is um Airstream from the opposing drampa so Is it berserk? Is it berserk? We do get some nice that it is berserk course. It's berserk. It's probably got life orb as well Max strike. Yeah, so our airstream was useful because There's so much damage. Doesn't it it really does Um, I think a spirit break probably takes it down from this range, especially if it is life Oh, it's not shawna life orb. Hmm Do we take this opportunity to get rid of alchemy? Like I'm not too worried about alchemy honestly Um, I think we just double the drampa again But this time we go max flare into it we'll get a bit more par Yeah So let's see it should be enough to put it in range for a spirit break um, and it just means that we're not going to take too much damage from the um The dazzling gleam when it comes out from the alchemy It just means we take it a little bit better. Obviously grimstall going to be able to manage that quite comfortably Uh spirit break coming out taking the drampa down and uh, this game is just confusing me completely We do get rid of the dynamax and you've got to imagine it is probably conch Is the the last pokemon which I don't mind too much the taunt does Shirk off on the alchemy. So we've got to keep that in mind for our next turn Probably want to taunt that before grimstall goes down Uh, oh it's incineral. Hmm. Okay Well that makes things a lot more straightforward. Um Because we could just pyro ball into the alchemy like incineral is likely going to fake something out But it's more likely that it goes fake out into grimstall um Anything so i'm just going to taunt and i'm going to go pyro ball into the alchemy double into that slot Because you can only fake out one thing and at least you know, what doesn't get faked out is going to get some kind of Yeah, we'll get the taunt off so we can stop the support from this alchemy Which is the main thing there and with primarina in the back. I think we're pretty safe. Um Just gone for another dazzling gleam Oh, sender is just hanging on just hanging on. Okay. Well, that's not the the worst thing in the world I think we've only got a maybe a turn left of sun as well, which is useful Uh, I'll just make taking the incineral down a little bit easier Now a pyro ball should be able to take down the um The alchemy we'll just go for hyper voice We can't aqua jet because we'll just knock ourselves out. I mean we could potentially we could just iron head as well Um, it's a bit safer and then we'll turn ourselves into that tasty steel type Um, yeah, because there's always a chance that pyro ball can miss. It's it's not wow. Okay. That's no one near enough damage No one near enough What's this incineral gonna do? What's it got in store for us? I mean as crazy as this match has been It's still coming Pretty it's getting pretty close. Isn't it uh parting shot not really ideal not what we want to see but I think Hmm The moon blast will take down the alchemy the sun fades and then Uh, we got hydro cannon which should be able to take down the incineral. Incineral if that's its only way to damage us I think we're going to be all right. So uh doesn't gleam Shouldn't be doing too much to prim It is taunted so we should be able to get rid of it this turn and then Hopefully we're going to be on a decent amount of health So we should be able to uh clean clean this one up and maybe get it get a win. Oh, this is not not ideal. Is it not ideal? mystical fire mystical fire and snarl I'm still confident a moon blast will take it down from this range Yep, okay. All right. Well, we can just hyper voice us out like our way to victory here parting shots coming out Over and over that puts us down at minus minus three. I think Which is an ideal but We're sitting in not a bad position So we can hyper voice. Let's see how much this does Single target remember as well. And we've also got hydro cannon if we need it at the very end But I don't think the incineral is going to be able to out damage us even with all these drops to be honest But we will soon find out my friends We will soon find out Um, I'd love to hear as well if you guys have been trying out the new hidden ability start a pokemon in your own Teams, I'd love to hear how you've been getting on certain builds that you've been using and What you think of them in general? I think they've all got a very good place in the format at the minute Whether it be a fun team or whether it be a serious team I think some of them I've got potential to be very good pokemon and in all areas of the format right now For different reasons. Obviously the the sniper and teleon interests me a lot I think I've got a team ready to go with that So we'll have that featured very soon. We've also got a really boom team as well very fun really boom team Which I hope you're all going to enjoy as well as this cinderace one um There's a berry. There's the berry Darkest lariat. Let's see what the damage is like here Oh, that was a crit. Okay. Well, we don't need any more of those. Okay. We don't need any more crits Like let's let's just say goodbye to the crits we uh We just want One more after this should be enough to take down these Or if it hangs on we still got aqua jet. Let's see. What's this darkest lariat doing? Yeah, that's more like it. Okay. Well, we can't afford another crit so Well, we probably can we can probably scrape by with a crit a hyper voice just missing the knockout here Although I feel pretty confident. We'll get it from this range from the damage that we've been doing Poor primarina struggling right at the end. Um, yeah, and where were we talking about really boom as well really boom Obviously very interesting with the grassy terrain one of the few pokemon now that we've got access to with the terrain Um, so lots of things you can do to play around with it There's plenty of unburdened pokemon in this format that you can utilize maybe the grassy seed with We've already seen players using drift bling with it. Uh, halucha is another option Obviously that can cause a lot of havoc to teams Um, and just the generally the the defense boost obviously not just for boosting unburdened and pokemon like that But boosting your own defense on things that are maybe a little weaker on the defensive side That's also got a utility there as well, which is really nice So we do pick up a win so good game to my first opponent here And we will swiftly move on to our second match and hopefully we can get a repeat result Maybe play a different variant. So we've got an ex opponent Uh, Mimikyu, Toxricity, Shandala, Glacian, Concordot and the NDD So what are we looking at here? Probably more trick room orientated. You've got the NDD support there Um, Mimikyu, Shandala are going to be a trick room pokemon Um, Toxricity could potentially be the the max pokemon Um Okay What are we going to do? I think Grim snarl Uh Problem is with Grim snarl here is uh, the NDD makes it very difficult for us to um To make use of the taunt or the fake out or anything like that. So that's why it's super difficult Maybe cindyrae's primarina is not a bad start because then at least we can we've got a spread move to break the disguise And the Mimikyu if you see that come out first Um, I am going to bring ex-gadril and if the trick room goes up Well, we're pretty knackered to be honest, but I think Grim snarl might be all right. Um Because it it does help out against things like conk um Is it going to be that useful though really? Hmm helps out against concordot, but that's about it Uh, we're gonna have to just lock in. I think it's probably the better option. Maybe ex-gadril there would have been good, but It's difficult when you can't see a way around stopping the trick room. It does make it very difficult Right, we've got indeed Mimikyu coming out for my opponent. Right. Let's see um, hmm I mean, we're probably gonna see follow me trick room uh So it doesn't feel like there's much point at going for the airstream. Maybe steel spikes is better and I don't know if we want to proc our weakness policy just yet. I think it Be more beneficial to get the hyper voice up Um, and especially if the trick room goes up I think one of the things that you've got to keep in mind is do we want to Remove indeedy from the field straight away and allow my opponent the opportunity to bring in um a trick room sweeper um, we'll probably better off just Kind of letting the indeedy stick around on the field because really it doesn't do too too much. Does it? Um It's redirecting. It's not even redirecting here. Is it? It's um, it's not even helping handing which is kind of weird But most of the time it's just normally there to support it can throw attacks of course, but um, it's not as threatening as something like Like My period or something like that, you know, I know my opponent hasn't got that but you just along those same lines And the indeedy just hangs on so we are going to see hyper voice ah Thankfully with steel type so we kind of resist that and there's a trick room. Okay So this next turn we can go aqua jet Uh Do we want to go aqua jet? I don't think we do. I think we go steel spike into mimic you again And I think we go for another hyper voice and the thing we've gone for the hyper voices like my opponent Has been a steel type. You probably want to get chandelier onto the field as soon as possible um But it makes it difficult bringing chandelier onto the field right now Just because of the the cover that we've got from primarina. Um, and there's no like urgency for us to go for all Procking the um The weakness policy just yet. There's a mystical fire coming out from the indeedy Uh play rough coming out as well going to double up into the primarina But that's fine the defense booster really helping us out there as we get that hyper voice I'm gonna do enough to take down the indeedy and chip the mimic you probably to the point where we're going to be able To pick up the knockout now with cinderace so uh the steel spikes are coming out And picks up the knockout, which is great So we get another defense boost on both poker one And I think that's one of the the big things about cinderace being able to have access to that that iron head It makes it so strong. Um, like it's one of the better Dynamics moves obviously with the defense boost that you get obviously you're gonna put that in in the same rank Is like uh airstream and um the the ground one Okay Ah toxicity and concord there Okay, so this is a little bit awkward But I mean it is it really is it really it is awkward for the fact that I want to airstream the concord there right now um but toxicity Would threaten us otherwise. I mean what we could do is just aqua jet Cinderace angle for the airstream. I think that's probably the best thing we might lose primarina right now to um To talk so silly but Yeah conk conk should go down to a plus two and we are plus two defense remember as well So against a concord there. It's we're not in the worst spot. They do max There's the aqua jet as long as cinderace can get through this turn, which it should do There's a max knuckle be super effective, but like I said, we've got the defense boost Which is definitely definitely going to help us out here toxicity should move next So it's not like we're a flying type now if it goes for poison type attack for some reason Which I don't think it will Um, and we might be able to take an attack with primarina. Um Because we are solvest Yeah, we just about take it and there's the airstream. Okay turn to that flying type So stab plus two is going to be enough. It should be enough to get the conk. I think it will Oh, it's so close. It's so close. Okay, so now we need to wait out these, um These dynamics turns just gonna make it a bit more difficult. Oh, it's it's got the burn as well. So that doesn't help it Uh, we could actually aqua jet at this next turn um And then hope that's enough with the burn to to kind of get rid of it So I'm going what have we got in the back now we've got we've got extra drill. We're fine. We're fine Um, I think I am just gonna Aqua jet it because I think that plus the burn plus another turn be enough to get the conk Uh, the protect here is not great But if they predict like an ice type attack into us Oh, the psychic train we always forget always forget about that. Yeah, we're gonna lose cinderace now Oh for marina. Okay Twin psychic train always forgetting All right, we need to stall out these trick room turns Can't be that many turns left. I think this might be it over now This could be the last turn of trick room. Is it? These burn this burn is not doing enough. Um, and no, it's not and there is going to be one more turn of trick room Uh, I think we're bringing grim start because we've got the session extra drill So at the very worst we can leave extra drill right till the very end And then bring it in Actually, it might have been better to bring it in one of the psychic train. Yeah, so we've got one turn Hmm, I mean you can only target one pokemon here, right? So I think we just Yeah, we just iron head conk and I think we just spirit break it as well Max knuckling the grim snarl Who's cinderace? I think you should have I think they should have max knuckled the the grim snarl. Um Because I think you needed to max knuckle that and then go for overdrive which would have got the cinderace anyway That would have been the better player But see hopefully we take Wow That was too close too close for comfort Wow, okay And then we've got the extra drill to come in and that should finish things up the dimensions and back to normal So we managed to get through it. Uh, all right Even though I did forget about the um psychic terrain Just for a minute It's it's the terrains in this game. You know when you look back at the the last like sun and moons, uh The seventh generation as sixth generation seventh. It is the seventh generation. Yeah. No sixth generation um The terrains are so obvious, but they're very very subtle in this in this generation. So Never mind. Anyway, we pick up a win. So that is excellent That's a nice way for us to end the episode and I hope you guys have enjoyed the games today We've seen a lot from cinderace and I think that last one particularly we saw how good it can be even in a really Awkward environment of the trick room like we saw there So um as promised we'll uh, we'll hop over now and we'll do the rental team for you guys There we go my friends There is the rental team for you guys to try out and have a lot of fun with as always if you do Please let me know down in the comment section what your thoughts are on the team and if you've got your own build variants around this Uh, the team is very fun. Uh, I ladder up to top 500 with it I probably could have pushed a bit further with it But I was testing other things and building other things in preparation for the next couple of weeks on the channel So I hope you appreciate that if you do have some success with it. Let me know and I would love to see But that is going to be about it for today's episode. Thanks as always for tuning in my friends Make sure you're all taken care of yourselves Staying safe and being kind to one another and I will see you all for another episode of our vgc 2020 battle series Very soon. My name is a Cyrus and I'll uh, just don't even guess I'm saying goodbye. So until next time. Bye. Bye
