 Hello friends and welcome back to another episode of Pokemon VGC 2020 battle series My name is Lee also known as Osiris and in today's episode. We are gonna be featuring a team based around G max toxicity or toxicity and Covernite so I took a little bit of inspiration from my good friend Costa He was playing in the players cup over the weekend a weakness policy Covernite And after talking to him a little bit kind of inspired a few ideas. So we've got it in the team today I feel like it can function well with these Pokemon were obviously gone for a tailwind kind of center team We do have a little bit of cover for trick room We've got taunt on the talent flame And then we got the emongous to help us kind of disrupt my opponent and some Pokemon that are kind of like that Middling speed tier like primarily now that can perform well in trick room and in tailwind because we've got a little bit Of speed investment on there So there is a poker piece down in the description as always check that out You can see all the details of the sets of spreads and everything like that And as always there will be a rental code at the end of this episode if you'd like to try this team up for yourself So we will hop into it as always have a couple of games and then have the rental at the end of the episode for you guys And I hope you enjoy the episode as always if you do please remember to drop a like on the video do subscribe to the channel if you are new and for more of this content of course and Obviously all the other content that will have coming out over the next few weeks because we've got that big news yesterday about the Crown Tundra drop And if you haven't checked out all of the news from that I did do a live reaction and kind of an analysis afterwards of all that information And I'll I'll link it above for you guys to check out. Okay. Got a first opponent dusk glop Snorlax a moongus a lol and Marowak Hatterin and Gastrodon so pretty heavy trick room orientated team and the one bad thing about it is That we cannot taunt the Hatterin if they go down that route With the hat so We need to be very careful Tox has a very hard time here Especially with the inclusion of a lol and Marowak and Gastrodon you think someone's trying to tell us something But it might be difficult to bring it in this match and so we'll have to see what we can do I do feel like over night can be very good in this game We do need to be very careful of course of the a moongus But if we can get a few boosts under our belt it will not be the worst thing And I obviously think Crocodile would be good as well, but It's very tricky because the hat obviously causes us and puts on a lot of pressure Even though we do have the assault vest there. I think we're gonna have to go Corviknight Do we go taunt because then we could stop the dusk glops That's the thing. We could go Corviknight a moongus to be honest Yeah, I really want to bring Talonflame, but I don't think I've got room for it I think I need to bring these for Pokemon and go around that. This is gonna be a very very hard matchup But we will see what we can do. Hat is not something I expect to see too much in series 6 Because it's just obviously not got its partner in crime and DD to help it It's not as strong as it was in previous formats and even though we did feature on a team earlier in the week And I still think it is very good, but Yeah, this is the thing why we we brought the moongus. We can put the The Alola Marowak obviously causes us all sorts of issues, but we do kind of put them off almost setting that trick room up What we could do potentially as well is switch into Crocodile or Primerina You would imagine the the Marowak is probably gonna max and go for a flablet into Into Covernite so it's whether or not we want to bring in something like Crocodile here, which might be quite nice Keep Covernite and Primerina a bit more healthy for later in this game because the thing is They're probably our two main max Pokemon. So, you know, there's the argument here Well, we could switch in Primerina here But Primerina comes in takes a bunch of damage which it will from the the Alola Marowak It's not gonna be very effective if we want to max it later on in this match And it might be the Pokemon that we kind of fall back on a little bit in this one So it's better to kind of preserve those max Pokemon or potential max Pokemon and sack off the other ones even though Okay, we're gonna see the Flablet into the moongus and the trick room setup. Okay, so The thing is if this dust globs doesn't have taunt There's no way for it to stop us going for a spore into the Marowak slot now There's a couple of options here. I do think maybe the Hatterine could come in On that Marowak slot that wouldn't be great for us in all honesty So what we could do is kind of cover our bases cover our bases a little bit The other thing to think about is obviously Ally switch but I'm gonna bring Covernite back in predicting maybe worst-case scenario Hatterine comes in And if it does obviously we can't get the spore into that slot the moongus becomes a bit more threatened But we at the minute the the immediate threat is the the Marowak So we need to put that to sleep dust club switching out We are gonna see hat come in so we actually guess the slot right We've hopefully got no ally switching a Marowak can ally switch So there is a threat there always you've got to think about and we'll bring Covernite back in a moongus will Underspeed the the Marowak So we will be able to put it to sleep and kind of safe in thinking that it's gonna hold that thick club as well So be able to shut that down and at least we get Covernite back on to the field and you know it's gonna be able to to put a bit of pressure on to this Hatterine Okay, so I think what we'll do they might we might see a max flare. We might see a max flare. That is the that is very possible But without the Sun the Marowak's gonna have It could wake up it could wake up that would be the worst-case scenario So worst-case scenario here is they max flare into Covernite And then they go for a flare blitz as well now we don't want to lose a moongus So I think what we could do is max steel spike It might even go for a max mind storm into the moongus, you know, it is kind of To get their psychic terrain up to boost their attacks later in this game So we may be able to catch them off guard with a crooked ass Which we've got to try and be a little bit smart here. Like I say, it's a really bad matchup for us so And the steel spike if we can get it off untouched from this Marowak Will just give us a little bit a better better time against it Obviously if they're minus two already with the Intimidate drops doesn't look like the hat is gonna actually max here So that's interesting. I Don't see them going for a dazzling gleam though. They're gonna go for like It's interesting that they're not maxing out unless they're protecting here, which again, I don't mind at all Unless they just go mystic fire and that is ideal. We'll see we'll see Okay, mystic fire is it into the moongus slot? It is. Okay. That's a little bit of a shame We wanted that weakness policy proc. That was the thing that we're wanting really here The Marowak thankfully does stay asleep for an extra turn. So that's that's very good as we get a defense boost with our Covenite and Do take down the Hatterine that was a lot easier than it should have been to be honest Okay, critical here. Maybe that mattered. Maybe that mattered would have to do the calc on that and Alright, so things getting a little bit easier now for us a little bit easier And like I was saying before, you know, I didn't want to switch in per marina in those awkward situations where potentially could have been a max Pokemon at that point of the game and Now I feel a bit freer knowing that Covenite is gonna be a max Pokemon To kind of go go with that and I think per marina is a perfect switch and it means we can cyclically intimidate a little bit More also means that we could potentially switch back into a moongus now And shuck out an airstream into the Marowak So I think what we will do is is go for that to be honest I think a moongus is a little bit better here could seem able to double up if that Marowak does Wake up but not gonna see that is gonna switch out to the dust globs coming back out again, which is fine and Detecting the the weakness policy there in a cover night Obviously probably why we didn't see the air the mystic fire go into that earlier on from the hat But we get a moongus back onto the field perfect position against this Gastrodon as we seen ice beam. So that's and that covers everything That's why the per marina would have been maybe a little bit of a better switch there You know and the critical hit not ideal at all. We are gonna get an airstream Not helping us in our current climate with the trick room up But we do put a lot of pressure onto that gastrodon and what we could maybe do this next turn is I Mean it's probably better that we pressure the dust globs because we don't want another trick room being set up to be honest We've got one turn a trick room left Yeah, so I think we go for another airstream and we go for a notice for The gastrodon's got to feel pressured here. That's the thing that we're kind of relying on our opponent protecting. Maybe oh Help an hand. Okay. They're going ice beam. They're gonna get rid of the moongus not the end of the world first at all They can still max But we are gonna lose, huh? How did that go before us? Hmm, hmm that like iron ball gastrodon Potentially that's mad. Okay. Well, either way the Dust globs is definitely in range now for us to double into it. I'm gonna bring in Primerina It's gonna be a big Mourn to help us deal with both the gastrodon and the Marowak to be honest But I think we need the power here to and we need the intimidate in the back Help us against the Marowak a little bit. Um, yeah, we'll double in on the dust globs Could maybe see the gastrodon we well, we know the gastrodon is gonna go last We can't really use our water type moves here. So a little bit Stuck can use hyper voice if Marowak does come back onto the field. So we do have that option But we will boost the gastrodon. So we've got to be a bit mindful of that and we don't want to be swept by gastro But we want to remove the trick room element from my opponent's team here That's the thing if they ally switch that's fine. It means the dust globs isn't attacking or you're using help in hand This to am trick room this turn as it does help in hand. It's gonna earth power I think maybe even scald into a covert knife But we are gonna get the brave bird that's perfect. Okay, so we get the KL there. I didn't know if it would Wide get it. So we do get it. That's good moon blast Hopefully we get a special attack drop because that would be huge for us here Especially if they're helping hand and that's gonna to hit KL. So that's ideal anyway scald Okay There's a lot of damage, but no burn no burn. So we get lucky we get lucky which is nice Maybe we roost here maybe we roost What do we know I don't know if the gastrodon's got protect though That's the thing like has the gastrodon got protect I don't know if it has we could just roost the only thing I would worry about Potentially is the gastrodon maxing here go max quick into Primerina get the special defense boost puts Marowak in a better position and I Mean we have got a defense boost. So we should take a flabless from the the Marowak Yeah, they're maxing the gastrodon The idea here is what we could have potentially done is just doubled into gastrodon I don't know of moon blast plus brave bird would have been enough But I don't think they're gonna be able to take down and Primerina here with gastrodon I don't think you worry too much about COVID-19 Unless they predict this roosting here and then max quick into COVID-19 and now that would be a play And I will take my hat off like my my imaginary hat if my opponent makes that play It's very close. Okay, we get a crit. That's that's huge for us. That's huge Procaberry, okay, so I think that is it is it citrus? No, it's a glove I think if we brave birded there nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, we would have needed the crit as well It's going for the geyser though into COVID-19. Okay without the rain we should take this It's kind of it makes Marowak way less potent and now we can double into the gastrodon Unless it max guards here and they're kind of relying on Marowak waking up But I mean we do have crocodile in the back in the reins up now So that it's only real main way to to attack crocodile was the flablets without the rain Yeah, we're gonna see the max guard. Okay, Marowak probably wakes up here We'll get crocodile back onto the field But they need to take down Primerina like over everything else in all honesty. Um, yeah Hope to guys Okay Well, I mean We dodged the poltergeist. We've had some nice RNG here. I mean, it's pretty brutal for my opponent as they just cancel Yeah, fed up fed up. I I understand that I feel that I feel that so and Poltergeist would have taken us down I don't know if it would have it would have definitely put us very close to being taken down I think we would have been close from there because we still would have had COVID night And then cook it out to come in we could have just doubled and then yeah I don't think the Marowak's in a position minus one at that point to take down crooked out But you never know. Anyway, good game to my opponent. Although they will probably say bad game Let's have a look at their team. Let's see. They've got the dust globs And they do have a light switch So we did we did think that they got the belly drum Snorlax Snorlax is something I'd like to feature as well So if you'd like to see a Snorlax team, do let me know I have been talking with Dexter Dexter Morgan, I think his username. Sorry if it's wrong, but he's been playing Snorlax I think we featured him on the channel last week and he's been raving about Snorlax So it'd be something cool to feature for sure So if you would like to see that do let me know in the comment section and I'll put something together with it Because I think Snorlax is definitely being slept on series 6. It's still a beast You know, it's always a beast and whatever format you can kind of you bring it in so and It would be nice to see if we can get something put together with it and hopefully this next one as we find our next opponent We can bring the toxicity which this team is all about Maybe maybe because the Charizard doesn't like talks too much, but we'll see Okay, we've got Togonamaru, Charizard, Saberlight, Ninetales, Kaferi and Drake Assault So lots of support around lots of heavy hitters Speed control, you're gonna look at Airstream's Nuzzel from the, well Airstream's from the Charizard, Nuzzel from the Togonamaru As your main ways of speed control So it does give us an advantage in in regards to maybe going Talonflame, Tailwind Got to watch out for the Togonamaru though That's the that's the big thing that we need to be very careful of Um, alright, well, I mean I really like Talonflame, Primerina It's just I don't think we're gonna be able to get a tailwind off because we don't have protect on this one Like if we have protect Talonflame here, it will make it a lot easier. It's maybe like we need to I mean Crocodile's not bad Boock's not bad, but it will take it and it's not gonna stand up to Okay, what we're gonna do is bring Primerina. We're gonna bring We're gonna bring Crocodile Crocodile, yeah Crocodile, Talonflame and Toxricity, let's bring Tox to this one. We've got to bring Tox I don't know if it's the right choice, but we will bring it anyway and see what we can do So I'm gonna haven't I think because of the fake up from the Togonamaru. What we're gonna have to do is try and bait in a Crocodile slot switch that turn into Talonflame then the next time we can tailwind get Primerina in the rain and nuke Hopefully the Togonamaru, I'm not gonna see that. Just interesting Very interesting no Charizard, which I like I like a lot. Okay. Well, we've got Crocodile out on the field That's fine. The Intimidate is perfect into that Grigor's ult. So I think what we're gonna do this turn It's just protect Primerina and we'll go for a bulldoze and we'll drop the speed of everything on my opponent's side of the field By one stooge. They may switch into Charizard here, but it's still not the end of the world We still got that play that we were talking about as we were coming into this game But if we can reduce the speed on this Draco's ult, we still have to think about Quash, Quash is still a bit of an issue For sure, but We can approach the next turn. We'll see what my opponent goes for. You may just see a fake out They are maxing, which is interesting. They are air streaming into Crocodile What are they gonna just go for the electric? max Max I don't even know what it's called. I can't even think I hate that when your mind goes blank and you're like What was that max move the electric one max lightning there we go Okay, so we get the protect with Prim ally switch Come on turn one ally switch Okay, we're not a PZ. I can forgive it for PZ. I can't forgive it for anything else and get the bulldoze off Hopefully it's not weakness policy. That would be bad That would be that would be very bad. We might need to max Crocodile It's gone for the lightning. Yeah, it's into Prim. Are you actually kidding critical hit? Well That party ended. Huh? well Pretty quickly and mmm Yeah, it's not looking so hot right now. Is it and Hmm I don't know what to do now. I'm like, well, that's that's that done. Um, okay well We could maybe Bring in tux good max quake. We've got to worry about and they are like switch again. Are they gonna go for it again? Cuz we could taunt the save lie and but there's always a chance that they're gonna max quake us What do we make a call do we make a call for do we just overdrive we just overdrive overdrive? Just worry about the quash. That is the big thing like they're gonna quash Crook, that's what I worry about. Um, let's go quake Let's go. We're gonna have to max Crocodile. I'm sorry toxicity, but Needs must after that first turn. It was all gonna be per marina. I was gonna get per marina into a great spot I got from there too worried about the quash though. That's why we went for it I didn't expect a crate now And then talks ridder would probably be in our maximum on the back intentionally but Not turning that so good right now But we'll protect toxicity. Hopefully hopefully you don't get crit. We have got the sash there So we should be all right. There's a quash. We did expect that and It's into toxicity which makes no sense I mean, they can't quash the crocodile actually more thinking about we are a dark type So and we get rid of the drake was all pretty handily and We get the special defense boost which is gonna help us massively if we see something like Charizard come in Because they're undoubtedly gonna try and set the Sun up for the electric terrain set up for us So overdrive is gonna do a huge chunk of damage And we got max darkness as well, which really pairs nicely with the the toxicity Okay, could very Okay, well, well, well, I think we overdrive and yeah, I think we overdrive and we Probably Max Quake again to be honest Because they could ally switch here. Um, yeah, I'm just gonna go Max Quake again into the Clefairy. I mean they could okay. Wow No words. No words. It looks like we're gonna have a third game today because we're We're only 20 minutes in so I feel like we can't end the episode like that. Can we? They just didn't have a way to win after that even even after creating our prim. Okay. Well, let's carry on friends Let's have one more One more for well, we'll try third time lucky for this toxicity. We can try and get it going today Let's see. Um, right. We're gonna next opponent 1740 playing that's another It's like the the the Sun brothers are playing today another Sun team Okay, but wiggly tough this time interesting. I like wiggly stuff gets competitive. Um So we've got nine tails Charizard Snorlax does clops wiggly tough and bronze on and Trick crew heavy trick room mod in here with with like what will support the wiggly tough and the Snorlax and then you've got that really really hyper offensive Sun mode No fake out so we can make use of our talent flame here with tailwind as an option taunt as an option as well onto things like does clubs bronze on and Snorlax and Where we want to go from there like what Maximon do we want to go with we want to go with top and talks is quite good here to be honest like we can Obviously we can't change the rain obviously the one that you want to probably go for is primarily and here but we do need to have some Countermeasures against like Snorlax and that trick room mod, but I mean we can bring a moongus But maybe it's better to keep primarina for maybe later on the game Covenant as well if we can get rid of the Sun call Covenant is incredibly good Okay, let's go because we haven't brought it. It's gonna be the last game Let's go cove in the back with a moongus and lock in we're not bringing primarina Which seems madness but for the sake of this episode for the sake of you guys at home We're gonna have a little bit of fun in this last one We're gonna try and max toxicity and get some get some action out of it going into this next one So let's see if we can get it going. I do really like toxicity is a cool Pokemon It's got very cool design at the whole backstory to its its design and and everything around it is very cool and so It's nice to be able to use it I don't feel like it's one of the strongest Pokemon. I think it needs a little bit more speed and all honesty But never mind nonetheless. It's all right. Okay, so we've got a Wigglytuff I want to say Clefable there or Clefairy, but no, it's just the other pink one the one that's not used so much But it's still very cool. It's so bulky as well. We'll be tough. I Hope it hasn't got a weakness policy I really do and really hope it hasn't got a weakness policy We're gonna taunt the dust globs because we don't want and we got double taunt here We'll max do I got max ooze now, and then we can stun shock after this. Yeah, do that. Let's max ooze it first Proc that weakness policy. Come on. Let's do it. We've got the sash. We're all right Let's do it. Okay. Let's pull the trigger turn one And see what see what happens the Wigglytuff gonna max be interesting if it does and There we go big G max toxicity One of my favorite Chinese I've got from this game as well. I like switch into the Wigglytuff So they get in their trick room up Whatever happens and we'll get a cheeky little taunt onto the the Wigglytuff turn turn these turn one ally switches All right Real when we do minimal damage To the dust globs. Okay. Well Get a special special attack boost, which is always always good We're gonna have to play around this trick room like our lives depend on it now And I think we will we'll go for a taunt into the dust globs while we can Probably one of max ooze again into probably gonna ally switch with bloody dust globs here I can guarantee it. I can guarantee it. We'll go for another max ooze get another attack boost and then we'll try the stun shocks the next turn Just a helping hand. Okay, that's fine. They're probably gonna thunderbolt into a hyper voice even maybe I don't know We're gonna yeah hyper beam Dear Lord. Oh Well, we're gonna take down this this life-orbed Wigglytuff Seeing it all folks. We've seen it all we do get rid of it. Thankfully What are we gonna see from this dust globs? Oh, it's helping handed didn't it helping hand. That's fine Is it get another special attack boost? So, I mean Toxicity is pretty well powered up now We just need to yeah, we'll bring in a moongus because we can start putting things to sleep Which is always which is always handy and the nice thing about G max toxicity is it doesn't have the electric train to kind of counteract our Spores and bronze on coming in bronze on gonna be the slower of the two It is a little bit speedier than a moongus So we'll spoil that slot and we'll go for the G max stun shock into the dust globs The nice thing here is obviously you have to worry about us paralyzing there the bronze on because we can't poison it But we are going after we put it to sleep. So it's it's all right really it kind of works out Okay, if they are like switch here, and there's a nice was a really interesting bronze on set They've seen recently a few Japanese players played it in the players cup and it was Meteor beam Bronze on and it was just disgusting to play against it was horrible. Honestly, so it'd be interesting to see we are gonna see max bronze on Interestingly enough has it got the safety goggles or has it got a lump Interesting to see and that could be heatproof as well. I don't know what it is. We don't know. It's gone for the max guard though Okay, well This does clubs gonna taunt our moongus No, it's reversing the trick room which seems madness Okay, well it hangs on barely which is perfect for us right now because this next turn Okay, they are paralyzed Okay Pleased that the the effect doesn't go through max guard because that would have been really bad for us and Now the bronze on Is gonna be able to attack us But we are gonna be able to put it to sleep and we can just go for an overdrive. Yeah because what Yeah, whatever happens we take down the dust globs do a good chunk to the bronze on and put the bronze on to sleep Gonna it the ally switch doesn't matter here because we're gonna go in first so it's like it's super No, wait there. What what what what? They I'm so confused did the trick room not go up originally Okay, well, this is still fine. Okay, the trick rooms up. They're still spiking. That's fine. Huh? I'm super confused. Okay, I should have been paying more attention to this. It looks really bad the video I Can't even go back and edit this. No, it just be such a mess. All right, so we're in trick room now, huh? I'm very confused Okay, I thought they already had the trick room set up but obviously not hmm. Okay. Well, we can we can spoil the bronze on Let's just check what the situation is this is the last turn of trick room, huh? Okay, why am I just dreaming that they didn't set the trick room? Are they gonna max guard they're gonna max guard and belly drum I mean even if the it's risky belly drumming at this stage of the match because Yeah The trick rooms ending so we'll get two hits off regardless with toxic unless they double into it Well, they can't double into us here. They're gonna go into the movie. So that's fine Because we should be able to take down this bronze long and two hits now With the overdrive damage it we did the previous time we are plus two Yeah, I mean 50% of the snow lax is just so nice, isn't it and we got called tonight to come in So I think we're gonna be super fine dimensions to back to normal And we'll get called back onto the field and this is worked out all right Even though I've been like super confused through all of this thinking trick room is up Well, it was up. I just thought it was reversed. I Just don't understand What which bar part of the match which part of the screen was I looking at and Disclops didn't reverse the trick room and I thought it did. This is how my mind works peeps Just nuts. Um, okay. I mean you just iron head small acts and yeah We'll overdrive and that will be more than enough to close this one up for us and toxicity doing some awesome damage and the third battle cancellation in a row there we go nothing to write home about but Very nice results for the team. You see that's I'm pleased the team has done very well today We got a bit lucky in that first one with a few good RNG roles But the second two matches I think the team's really shown how well it can can perform So if you do try it like it always say, please let me know down in the comments below if you do try the team I love to hear how you've got on with the team and if it's inspired any ideas Even just the video today in the matches that you've seen if it's inspired any ideas do let me know I would love to hear about it. Okay, which team and we're gonna have to drop Probably the Salazar one because it is the oldest out of all of them. So like I always say with these I'm taking them down. I have a second switch. I can move these teams across there if you've got any requests Do let me know. I have just put the The Goudre Lapras team and not the the Bufalent one up I've just put that one back up on my second switch So if you want the code for that let me know and I'll post it and you guys can still play around with that While it's still up There's a team that I'm in the middle of building fitting for today after all the Sun we played and Charm's interesting. I do like Charm. It's a cool Pokemon. Um And this is the team. This is the team here we go So we want to make it public for all you find people out there that want to try this thing It's fun. I think it's really fun team So I hope you do have fun with it if you do try it and obviously you can see the different There's lots of different modes to the team. It's very flexible and glued together with some really cool combinations like who could I work so well with things like overnight and obviously talent flame and Helps against so many threats to things like premiering and stuff like that. So There's lots going on there Okay, there we go friends. There is the code zero zero zero zero zero six Zero zero zero six K zero three G five F There's a code if we ever had one. I hope you've enjoyed today's episode. Sorry for the crazy trick room Mine games that I was playing on myself in that last game It happens sometimes and just way over indulgent and talking and excited about getting this episode of view and also Excited about crown tundra and all the new Pokemon that we're gonna have and a new series starting probably on the first of November So lots of things to look forward to I've got lots of content in the pipeline We're gonna do a pretty a bit of a similar setup to what we did with series six and get a bunch of teams ready For you guys as soon as the format starts so you can jump on stop practicing and get yourselves into the groove with that new Format and but we're gonna end it up there I think that about does it for today again if you've enjoyed the episode do drop a like on the on the video It really does help if you are new Hopefully you like the content enough and want to see more of it and hit that subscribe button and and I will just say Hope you all have a great rest of your day Make sure you take care of yourselves be kind to yourselves be kind to each other and I'll see you all for the next one So until then my friends take care of yourselves and bye.
