going to finish up today with this dual primal team we'll be moving on to a new team next week on the channel but we have been playing the dual primal combination for the last two weeks and we'll be finishing up with it in today's episode like i said the team as always is down in the description below there are all paced and a poker paced and you can check out the details try out the team if you like and if you do try it out let me know what your thoughts are and how you've been getting on with it but dual primals is definitely something i think i've convinced myself after two weeks of playing it that it should be an archetype explored a lot more by people in the ultra series it's got a lot of potential going forward and i've really enjoyed it so i hope you have as well obviously let me know down in the comment section what your thoughts are on dual primals in general it's not a core that we see too commonly used within the format so it's an interesting one to say the least just to recap the team there we've got primal groudon, primal kyogre, mega salamence, tapacoco it's got the z move there we've got bronzon with a cassey berry to help us against those big moon guys beams and such from ghost types that it could be taken down by and then we got the sableye as well going to have that prankster fake out ability and the focus sash there so without further ado let's get into today's episodes if you do enjoy the content now please make sure to drop a like on the video do subscribe to the channel for more pokemon content and leave your comments down below because i

general um go and grab them 10% off at the moment so we'll get into our first one today it is going to be against a japanese player and they're running a team of ground on oranguru landeris theory and teppuk finny tapu lele and dusk main across my nice looking team you've got trick room elements from the dusk main potentially definitely on the oranguru instruct there as well so we need to be a little careful around that the uh intimidate support from the landeris and then you've got the two tapus for support more offensive variant of the two could be the lele which is maybe scarfed and then the finny which is going to be the more bulky one try and slot our game down um okay what are we gonna do uh bronzon is pretty decent here it's not really threatened by a great deal especially if you've got kayoga support against the ground on um yeah again i'm so tempted just to go bronzon save like kayoga and ground on and i'm kind of i just yeah i'm gonna just look into that you know the only problem is the oranguru with instruct with that ground on it could be a bit of a pain to deal with um where salamence could be maybe the better option here but let's go with these and see how we get on salamence definitely could be a good option here i feel but we haven't brought it so we can't we can't complain about what we just got to make do with what we've got for right now um we'll see how we get onto this first one okay we're getting on to the t-shirts though i'm actually really surprised like the quality is super nice the fit is perfect i like where small um i could probably wear a larger one if you like that larger looks um but i like things to look fitted so uh the small is what i'm wearing um but the sizing is pretty nice with all the stuff so um yeah if you do get any though make sure to tweet me at osirisvgc and i will make sure to retweet that to finish squad world so i can there can see you repping your t-shirt it's uh it'll be amazing and it'll pop you up on the instagram as well um okay we're gonna see tap and finny and groudon come out for my opponent did we just set up a trick room i don't like the groudon probably wants us to set up a trick room that's the thing um the tap and finny is a bit of a problem for us if i'm like completely honest i kind of want to get kayo go onto the field now i'm gonna bring kayo going for bronzon and i'm gonna fake out the tap and finny because i don't think we see oppressive blades i really don't i think we see uh a fire punch if anything maybe i don't know i don't know that's my gut that's what my guts telling me i feel like we see fire punch from the groudon if anything groudon actually gonna withdraw okay well that's that's still fine the cross i'm gonna come in the finny to me though is definitely always going to be the one pokemon that sits on the field and throws out nature's madness or something along those lines so um which is definitely going to do again the next turn 100 percent we'll probably see the groudon come back onto the field i'd imagine okay do we just bring bronzon back out and go for foul play into duskman i think that's the best i need to protect the primal that are like our primals in this match are gonna be it sounds really obvious but they're gonna be massively important for us winning this game um groudon for helping deal with that type of finny and obviously the kayo are going to help deal with the groudon so i don't really want to leave kayo going here i don't want to protect i don't want to protect on it right now because the groudon could easily come in then it means we are forced to switch out that makes it easier for my opponent to predict the round um and i don't want to leave it in not protecting risking a potential water spout or something just to take an itch as madness from the type of finny here um wow we're seeing a shadow ball shadow ball did you predict this bronzon to come back in are we shadow balling the kayoga shadow ball type of finny man okay uh i think we'll just try and get some damage onto the finny now we'll just gyro ball it i don't feel like trick room is going to be our best option to go down we've got for another file playing to the necrosis map um yeah if it switches out then groudon takes a bunch of damage if it doesn't then yeah we get 50 percent damage onto it another shadow ball coming out into bronzon here which is fine so we'll take that especially the fence drop not so hot and the z move shattered psyche it is gonna be shattered psyche is it gonna be z uh for the z trick room that'll be amazing but i don't i don't think it is it's gonna be the uh photon guys that's shattered psyche it's gonna be into uh bronzon here i think yeah taking no bronzon down west in the z move at the same time which i really don't mind at all um because it gives us a perfect opportunity to get um it kind of makes me feel like my opponent doesn't want us to uh set the trick room up there but they definitely have trick room they definitely have trick room um so share me don't get any damage onto the finny there but that's quite all right we get our ground on onto the field um i think i might do a quash quash quash i could quash the uh the duskman and just press his blades or i could sword stance and foul play or i could just protect ground on foul play kind of tempted to do a lot of things here um but i think i'll go for the precipice blades and i'll go for the quash into the necrosmo because i think it has got earth power i'd imagine it has earth power lander is coming in which is fine it's all gonna be about a little sable eye now how much work it can put in and across which is protects okay that's it's not the worst we know that the lander has hasn't got the z move so that's all right it can't really freely use earthquake so it might have earth power um i think what we'll do is we'll switch into chirga now now i don't really want to do that because i don't want to bring chirga and mud ground on's lurking in the back i'll protect ground on um don't want to get rid of necrosmo do i want to get some damage on to i mean i could quash the lander us i just don't want to take an earth power that's the only thing i'm gonna go for foul play into the necrosmo hopefully we don't see like a double up inter sable eye here wow it's actually just thrown out on earthquake it's gonna take down duskman i think yeah mad you mad man we get a foul play into this lander us though which is always going to be a bonus roosie i'm gonna do some nice damage there what do we see come in and we're gonna see the the ground on come in yeah now i'm kind of tempted to quash and fire punch the lander us because i think the ground on protects here and they think we do see another earthquake and then fire punch should take the lander us down from this range dang that's the only drawback is that thing switching out into tappy finney and now we're gonna take hideous damage on our ground on don't get earth power as long as you've got sable eye kicking around and we do take it so that's not the worst and it is special ground on that makes things a much easier to deal with much easier much easier to deal with um okay ground on is going to switch out for lander us now for sure do i just get some damage onto this top of finney no i think we'll do switch into kayoga with ground on and i will go for and go for fire play into the ground on because i think lander us comes in on that slot because you've got to be worried about the quash right now i think oh we'll see we'll see we'll see i think the worst thing will be nature's madness from the finney though oh wow we actually out speed the ground on but it's slow ground on doesn't gleam gonna take down sable eye oh this is the worst for us actually and it's got p blades okay so it's like a mixed ground on single target uh i think this one's over for us i think it's over although kayoga will out speed ground on we're just not going to be able to nab it at all with um some weird speed tearing going on here especially when my opponent's not brought there to be controlled okay well i mean we can try and ice beam the ground on and we can go for precipice blades but i think we probably just lose now to whatever finney's got to throw out at us uh unless our ground on our speed their ground on that's all do we take now now we don't even take it from the finney oh well good game to my opponent um just trying to think now where we could have went a little bit different there um i think we needed something for finney finney's definitely a massive issue for us to deal with um and maybe bringing a type of cocoa there would have been a better option and salamence as well i think would have been a better option to deal with the opposing ground on especially the opposing land or us as well and then maybe just chucked our primals in the back especially again in that match when you're looking at it and my opponent didn't really have any speed control uh from the pokemon that they brought so it would have made more sense for us then to have that that tailwind combination to go with we've got andrea vgc as our next opponent hopefully it's going to be the one where we can give this team a good send-off from that last one of the episode so we'll hop into team preview okay so andrea is playing a team of volcarona zernius uh yveltal incineral medagross and taboo finney um okay so we've got volcarona is going to be definitely a support pokemon probably looking at rage pound of tailwind uh might have red card for opposing zernius seeing how hard zernius can be for this team to deal with um mega medagross is going to be the mega on the team i definitely want to bring koko to this game i think koko definitely helps alleviate any yveltal uh issues you've got to a certain extent um otherwise yveltal just hard walls dual primals most of the time so koko is definitely something i want to bring here um do i want to bring bronze on because bronze on can be actually really good if we can get rid of the the double the double darks although sabley could be just as useful um we could bring ground on and kyle going the back i think yeah yeah let's go with that but koko is coming to this one okay we haven't brought koko too much this week and i think in a few of our losses this week i think we've not had many but i think that the matches that we have lost i think there's definitely warrant for koko immense in those matches where we need to mix things up a little bit maybe take a step back and not fall as quickly on the fall that we've been bringing every single time other most games anyway so we are going to see zernius and incinara come up for my opponent i mean here we've got a pretty safe switch where we can just fake out the zernius and switch ground on in haven't we for for koko um and then we're unintimidated we've got to quash the next turn if you want to go for that i think we'll do that we'll get ground on into the mix and we still got taunt as well from from sableye they can shut down that zernius if you want to uh you want to prevent a jamancy but it's likely the incinara just trades fake outs here i think so there's ground on hitting the field and getting that desolate lined up okay fake out and you turn okay that's fine it does break the sash on a sableye which isn't great but it's not the worst thing in the world and like i said we do have that taunt we can launch into that zernius the next turn to shut down and easy valto coming in as well um we do have quash it could take advantage of i think it's probably more important to get the taunt onto the zernius though over everything else um i think i'm gonna fire punch the valto and just go for the taunt onto zernius what they could do is try and get rid of the sableye now and not go for the jamancy just use this time to uh yeah take it down now switch the zernius out and then get set up later on in the game it is taking the the sableye down see what this evalto goes for as foul play and to ground on okay oh we're taking some heavy damage here aren't we okay we get some nice damage there um now we can bring in koko should be able to get rid of the evalto and maybe we switch ground on out to kayoga then i think that might be a better idea um although we could just press with blades yeah we could just press with blades and i think we'll catch and then go for a vault switch into the valto because i think maybe incinero comes in maybe on the valto slot but maybe we see the zernius switch out for for incinero and then the valto goes down okay we're not going to see that um incinero gonna come in but a vault switch and then a precipice blade should be enough to get the incinero i'm hoping we don't see a moon blast into the ground on here because if it's a dazzle then we should take it pretty comfortably with ground on like not comfortably but from the range that we've got left um so a kayoga onto the field that helps us put a little bit more pressure onto the the incinero on the next turn okay let's see what we can do from here i mean if we can get the precipice blades off that's quite huge for us i think going into this next turn just depends what the zernius decides to do even a moon blast might be too hard push to get the ground on from here i don't know oh it's actually into the coco wow we're gonna give us a free precipice blades special attack does drop it's not ideal we do hit the blades minus one of course um gonna be enough to get the incinero and do some decent damage to that zernius we've got to keep an eye on the zernius as well for when this taunt was off because um the special attack drop though on our um on a kayoga is not ideal we just don't want to allow i think the taunt will wear off the next turn you know and they don't really want to allow okay um i think that's a sold vestibeltal as well that's the thing do i just let ground on go down or do i bring in coco because coco could take a moon blast i could just bring in coco and protect kayoga because i think you probably dazzle i think coco actually takes will take an attack from from i don't think i like if we see dazzle an attack i think coco takes whatever my opponent throws out at us here i'm hoping hoping it's not a moon blast and like and a snarl yeah and that's going to be us going down i think now which is not great yeah i think that we just lose now oh we needed to just leave ground on in and just let it go down the taunt wears off now which is not great because the gmans is going to come out and i think that's going to be game for us to be honest oh what a miserable way for us to send this team off and it's so not reflective of how the team's done this week uh it's really frustrating actually um because if i play i'll take ground on down um yeah there's not really anything we can do we can try for a scald onto zonius i guess that could be an option we can fire punch and scald and then if they don't take ground on down then we get the fire punch off oh we're not even going to see the gmans you probably don't feel like they need to go for that now i think yeah another special attack drop every time and then the foul play and then that is going to be game for us are they going into the kayoga okay maybe thinking that will protect ground on button i mean now it doesn't really matter because the veltel just takes down uh ground on whenever it wants with the foul play well at least see my opponent's last pokemon ah this this is disappointing this is disappointing end for the duel primals team today but i guess sometimes you can't always have it how we want and um i think the veltel's always going to be a difficult matchup for duel primals and maybe we've had it a lot easier than we would have done because we've not really faced many eveltos throughout uh the last two weeks um maybe that'll change maybe that'll change so that's something else to look at i think with the team for sure is like having better ways to deal with evelt and like not specifically with tapaco because tapaco could directly deals with it great it's board positioning when eveltos out on the field can we get coco in safely and pressure what's next with like say the zernius and set ourselves up parameters so we can always have a way in to get and deal with that eveltal which the minute i don't feel like the team really does that well um something i will definitely take away when we come back with a new team and work with this in the background and maybe bring to a stream or uh showdown episodes later on when i've made some adjustments and once i do and i feel like i've got it to a point where it feels like it can manage with those those threats a little bit better like eveltal i'll bring it back and we'll we'll share it with you guys and uh if you've got any suggestions of the same uh obviously let me know nai illegal could be a great pokemon just off the top of my head anyway we're gonna end things there we've had a really good week two weeks with this duel primers team thank you so much for tuning in a bit sad and sorry that we haven't had the results today but we'll be back on Monday with a brand new team um and we'll start pushing on a little bit further with that and uh we'll um not get too bogged down with um with the results today have a great weekend whatever you're up to if you're at events good luck and i will see you all on my different episode of uh battle spot series so until then take care and bye bye
