 Hey friends and welcome to some more VGC 2020 Pokemon series, so we're gonna be we're just picking up where we left off in our last episode So we had two battles with the team so far and we've picked up two wins So we're gonna be finishing up with this team today for the week at the end of the episode I will reveal the rental team if you guys want to check it out and try it out for yourselves I would definitely recommend it gigalith is a great Pokemon and Climbing up that ranking like no one's business and we I really want to finish a lot higher than we are at the minute Like I said on the last episode we had a bit of a fun stream over on Twitch and Ranking took a little bit of a pounding, but it was a lot of fun in the process So we've got our first opponent of the episode We are running the gother tell ex-good rail talk all Togokis hitmontop and gigalith team that we were running earlier in the week And our first opponent is running a team of ex-good rail Togokis Tyranitar conquer the Arcanine and Rotom mo so it's a very kind of standard looking team very strong team You've got like all the elements that you need in a team to work. Well except a water type for that firewater Glass core, but you don't necessarily need I'm only messing around but really solid looking team We need to watch out for things like conquer though if we do go under trick room Obviously the Tyranitar puts a lot of pressure on our trick room mode set up especially with something like Togokis is a support next to it So maybe we go with him on top got the tell as our kind of lead And then we can get something like talk all as a main trick room kind of abuser in there And probably gigalith as well, I think we go harm on our trick room mode to be honest Because giggle if there's a lot of support against stuff like tyranitar, especially if we max our Gigalith and go down that route So we'll try this we'll see how we get on in this first one today against a Diego Diego Is it bad that I'm stereotyping Diego sitting there with a big handlebar mustache Mexican Mexican Please let that be please let that happen I should stream with some get up like that, but Diego's probably a lot cooler than my idea of Diego Anyway, anyway square shiny concoctor coming out with that Togokis The intimidating gonna be super helpful. Yeah, obviously It's whether we want to set a trick room up or if we want to start faking things out There's a little part of me that thinks potentially the Togokis is gonna max here We could blind hypnosis, of course the concoctor is probably probes Play mode as well, so it probably protects I guess I mean one play we could do is fake out The Togokis it could be completely wasted and trick room and trying to get gigalith onto the field Only issue there is then I mean, yeah, we could do that. We could we could do that We could fake out the Togokis. I don't really like faking out the Togokis though. Let's let's switch into gigalith here We're not gonna be able to we're not gonna be able to I don't know what hitman tops gonna do here But we are gonna see something max. I need to be a bit better with my timings, especially on this series. I Talk way too much. Yeah, so the fake out there with wasn't the best idea. We shouldn't just went with Instinct but I guess Let's see what we lock into help in hand probably because I think that's a top move There we go help in hand trick room just to make sure that we get this trick room off You've got to do it. You've got to give up our opponent a little bit of a head And we're gonna lose top It's a bit sad, but on the other hand That concolder can't be flammable because it can't activate it now under the misty terrain and I kind of don't mind losing top To be honest because Because we do get a free switch into Tocall now It would kind of indicate that the the concolders probably Probably a solvest Now what do we bring in do we just bring in giggle it? Yeah, I mean giggles The concolder is minus one so it's not gonna be doing huge amounts of damage And rock slide I'll do some nice nice damage to that toilet this It's a shame we can't It's just the problem is whether or not Taranatou ex-cadrill's in the back of my opponent. That would be a big problem and But here I'm kind of tempted just to go for the rock slide and just a psychic into the concolder Let's see what we can do And we'll be able to gauge what kind of concolder this is from the psychic damage that we throw out right now Max guard coming out. We might might be lucky and get a Tasty old flinch into the concolder. Let's see So yeah, I mean, that's not bad damage for resisted as a drain punch That's not kind of damage we want to be seeing and it's restore all that damage we've done back there Let's see is it a salt vest? Wow, okay Wow Now a rock slide probably takes it down now and giggle it in going down to a Mac punch and we could go for a blind hit noses into the toilet this Which I'm really tempted to do because if you can hit it obviously it's not grounded So it's not affected by the the terrain so we can actually get yeah, there's a Mac punch. It's fine Now the rock slide no We need to hit we need to hit this hypnosis now the rock slide missing. We've hit. Oh, yes Now the problem begins because a Mac punch will take a giggle it down now, which is not ideal and We don't have protect on gig gigs But we could bring in talk all I Could definitely be an option for us just to take the Mac punch It's a pity. We haven't got something like Ally switch here, which would be a little bit helpful But then again the Mac punch would be going off before the ally switch is the same priority brackets It wouldn't really help us too much here and But we'll try and preserve at least I giggle it for a little bit later on and Not let it go down to To a Mac punch, which is undoubtedly what's coming out now imagine You see your own punch, but I wouldn't have thought so Or it gets asleep and The issue is I think now if there's the teetor in the back Which I'd imagine it is it does make it a little bit more difficult for us to To get going with Although we can max you can max. Well, it is often I okay Our canine and We just go for an eruption in a psychic we could go for well, we can't Yeah, I think we just get rid of I think we just get rid of the torokes We just eruption we'll get some decent damage on to the alcanine anyway What's the alcanine gonna do though? so Probably gonna attack into To go to tell we do see a follow me here. That's I know fine Yeah, I'd imagine the alcanine probably attacks like flablet into the goth tell but Maybe in the sun we take it. Maybe not Who knows? All right, there's this is a citrus I've got a feeling maybe Excadrill's my bonus last Pokemon. It's a crunch. Oh Well, I think a fire type attack would have been the better option there like in all honesty Hum, but we can still max with tolko So we're not even in the worst position if X. Oh, it's Rotom ha I'm so surprised excadrill a teetot didn't come in on this match. I really am Yeah, I think we just max like there's no reason for us not to here We're gonna lose goth to tell whatever. I mean, let's try and get a trick room if we can get a trick room That would be amazing But yeah, I think we just max flare into the Rotom and I think we because we've got a dynamax turns now It kind of makes things a little bit easier for us to close this one up I was so convinced that Excadrill teetot would be in the back. I don't know why you wouldn't bring Tarana tarp against this sort of team even excadrill as well because like it's not like we've got a Riperia to utilize and trick room Okay, we're gonna see a player up. We might be able to get We I think we're gonna be able to catch Rick remote. This is insane like Diego why you let us do this and But they might have thought we were going for something else and I guess so we can't really Gothen tail could protect let's give Diego the benefit of the doubt here But Now it's it's it's over. It's it's really really really Over and max flare. Let's see. He's gonna take arcanae now I'm half in the Sun. I'd imagine we probably do but even if not, we've got psychic to back us up. So We'll be able to at least kick off this one with a win, which is quite nice for us to do and I think it kind of just goes along the lines of Sean how strong trick room is is an option I know I said it at the end of our last episode and but I am Totally on the trick room train. I think it's such a Team, we don't want to look at Diego's team. No offense Diego, but we're not got time for that in this episode I think it's just such a good team archetype is so strong And I think like plenty of teams can have countermeasures to it, but If you can't stop it, I don't know what you do if you're not set up well enough Especially for board positions where you've got something like gigalith coming out next to tocus or Tocco gigalith on the field. It's just like those Pokemon make it really really difficult To kind of come back against but we've got our next opponent. This looks a little bit tricky because this is got to tell This is Durant Durant always scares me Tyranitar Then the Sylvian Arcanine and the Rotom Wash So it doesn't look too trick room orientated from my my opponent I think if we can get our trick room up, we can do a lot of work against this team like board position trick room up with Tocco and gigalith on the field. It does a lot a lot for us. It's just whether or not we want to I'd imagine my opponent probably leads gothtel and Durant Now it's whether or not we want to Because there's no way got to tell even minus one is going to take a max move from Durant So it's whether or not we want to go toga kiss and gothtel and then Tocco and gigalith in the back I think that's probably our best kind of way to go around this because there's always the option of going for him on top And got to tell but I Think the following me in sacking toga kiss is probably our best option If I'm honest and then we get to call in we can deal with the Durant pretty easily if we can get gigalith on to the field we've got Ironhead as well that can deal with the sylvian the tyranitar And if you want we've got rocks like I guess that you can go for and the arcanine And the rogue and mosh isn't too much of a problem as long as we've got our son up with The Tocco or we can max with it again I guess we've got plenty of options, but we aren't going to see that So we are going to see my point lead up with the bottom and the gothtel the issue with this is that we can't We can't switch out at all. Okay, so I don't think I really want to waste a max move here I think I do want a trick room. The problem is The opposing gothtel reversing that trick room, of course um So we could potentially Hypnosis the gothtel But we want to try and remove the gothtel as as best we can or we could yawn I'm going to yawn the Rotom because I've got a feeling the Rotom might max Yeah The beast ball Rotom it's pretty nice I like it Risky though, you only get the one beast ball unless it's from a previous Which it might be Now that we do have home I don't think Togekiss is even going to get an attack off now Yeah, and the thick adds pretty useless after the help in hand max lightning. This is this a chunk I told you uh, okay Well, well, well We could bring I think toko's probably the better option here now. This this is pretty like this position really Awkward for us because do we go for the trick room now? um Because I think my opponent's got a couple of options. They help in hand max geyser into gothtel To try and take it out. I like it won't take it out. So they've got a max lightning into gothtel to take it out or Or they go for trick room themselves to reverse that trick room We go hypnosis into the Rotom That could be a play as well Um, but then we don't have a trick we need a trick we really do I'm going to go trick room and I'm going to max And I'm going to go into the the goth because I think if we can remove the gothtel It means that we've got a little bit Of a better shot to get our trick room But I've got a horrible feeling that we're going to see max geyser to get the rain up But we'll be able to overwrite that. We're just not going to be able to remove the gothtel this turn Do anything but if we can get a trick room up it does put us in a little bit better of a spot max darkness to mount I think they're going to reverse the trick room. Yeah, it seems to gothels Yeah, they're going trick room. We're going trick room Especially defense falling Oh psychic, huh? You should take this Maybe they don't have trick room then Can this get rid of the gothels? It doesn't really matter too much because now we're good. We've got a trick room up This is kind of all right because we can't go for a blind hypnosis. I'm going to have to go for blind hypnosis into the bottom um Do we go the problem is Actually, we probably are better off going for a psychic into the gothtel and then go max overgrowth into the water We just get damaged. We're not going to be taking down the rotten But we need to start getting damage onto it And imagine if the gothtel has wow. Wow, that does nothing Nothing Huh, hopefully we can take down this gothtel if it does try to go for the reverse the trick room We'll get our psychic off first. Yeah, and this would be enough to take it down. So we stop that Can we see a max lightning? Uh, it's going to hurt whatever hits us because we've got the minus one special defense max guys out I mean we've got the sun up so it does help us a little bit, but Okay, it's into gothtel Don't mind this at all because it means we do get we do get gigalith in now um Here we might be all right. We might be all right because if we wrote them now I think that's its last turn of dynamax, right? Let's see if we can claw our way back out of this one Feel like we can still do this. Okay. Arcanine coming in It's fine Arcanine's the pokemon we want to see The pokemon we want to see um, and we've got the grassy terrain up now. So I'm max Grass is boosted at least so we should like a rock slide Rock slide and yeah Should get the rotom Can we just lock into rock slide? I mean we have to really And hopefully we can flinch The arcanine max overgrowth into rotom This is our last turn This is our last turn of dynamax It's not the worst. I don't think it's I don't think it's too bad. I think we'll be all right So oh arcanine i'm going to switch straight back out. I don't mind this because it means we're getting big damage onto whatever comes in other than the uh, the good old um tyrannoton which is going to chunk Chunk a rock slide pretty easily. We do get the max overgrowth Yeah, this is where earthquake would have been a little bit better locking into but We still got trick room turns. So it's not the end of the world Um, it's just we can't get our sun back up which would have been which would have been really nice But I think taking down the rotom May have been a little better and I don't know unless the tyrannotons got Super power don't really know how they've got a really effective way to deal with With giggly we are minus two, but still we we're still gonna be hitting hard That's a thing It's just a pity our sun isn't up Okay, when it turns a trick room we've got left We have two turns of trick room. Okay We are locked into rocks like so we've got no option there Um, did we just go for a big eruption? I mean, it's our most powerful attack right now. So it probably makes more sense to both my opponent pokemon resisted But I mean just damage at this point is going to be better And we've also got the flinch chance as well. It still does respectable damage to both We do hit can we flinch we still do big damage to that arc and I think we can still do this You know we get flinches here. We get a double flinch here. I think the game's locked. I think that's it but we'll see No flinch rock slide, but still all right Talk all and what we're gonna see the arc and I do what it was. Okay. It's totally new to me poor giggly I think minus four now We can still do this. We still got heatwave Still got heatwave with with that a little talk all And I still think a rock slide and a heatwave might be enough to get the arc and I and then We might be able to still deal with The tyranitar depends like have they got protect? Like the flinch there would have been like icing on the cake for us. Still we still got a chance to do this though Let's see. I mean a burn here for my heatwave would be amazing. There's the protect from the teetal that makes sense Um, let's see if uh double protect. Okay. That that's yeah Okay, so at least we know they've got protect Now what are we gonna see from the tyranitar? Is it gonna just rock slide? I think probably it goes for rock slide fishing for those flinches um The arcanine is gonna struggle to damage anything on our side of the fields We could protect with talk all um but is is the Rock slide. I don't think the rock slide alone is gonna be enough to get the arcanine But then that might just give us enough room There's two rock slides that definitely get the arcanine Just whether or not that the the tyranitar goes for a superpower or not. That's the big crux of it. I think Do you risk going for it right now? I don't think you do. I think if we protect talk or I think that's the best Best play and then we've got a little bit more room. I think they go rock slide Problem is again, like we're on the receiving end of it this time like flinches could be a thing Let's touch some more to help you not get the air look anything And just make sure that we get a Rock slide off because I think that's what we're going to see rocks like from the teetah. Yeah Giggle at the boys. Come on. Okay, right. You just need one more into that arcanine and we'll get it um And I think we probably will take one more rocks like from the tyranitar Where that's all from the grassy terrain Kind of getting rid of the chip damage from the sandstorm let's see Let's see. Let's see and I think yeah, because If we can get rid of the arcanine now It kind of forces a position where my opponent has to choose between rockside. I've gone for the super plan to the glee um We'll go for the the heat wave So now there's connect. That's fine. Oh That might have knocked talk all down into rockslide range. You know, I think it probably has to be honest I didn't think it would be doing as much Okay Yeah So we need not to be we need not to flinch and we need to get okay. We do I don't think we're going to be able to take Yeah, we're not I don't think we're going to take a superpower. So we've got a really close but not close enough The sandstorm does subside Grassy terrain is left the field now So we've just got the burns and a superpower is probably going to be enough to take us down And a rockslide minus two and burnt. We've got no way against this this Tarantula, so my opponent some well a really neutering gigalith identifying it is a big threat It might not have super power. So what have we seen we've seen crunch We've seen rockslide. Have we seen crunch or is that a previous teeter that we've played It might not have super power if we could only change moves You could win this choice band how There's a superpower, of course. Yeah, just making sure with that extra chip and good game to my opponent. Um If we'd maybe went for a trick room a little bit sooner, I think And I think maybe Toga kiss really in hindsight probably wasn't the best pokemon to bring Um and hit on top would have been a lot more useful But then again like we're in against gother tell Rotem. We wouldn't have been able to switch top out although if we taken an attack from um The Rotem then the eject button activates We would have been yeah Maybe maybe it was the better choice. I think probably in hindsight. It definitely would have been So like I promised my friends. I did say that I would create a rental team at the end of the week So Not too bad. I mean we finished three in one with this team this week. So it's not too bad We'll be back with another team next week as we are doing at the minute. Um manage teams renting um No Don't want to manage teams manage teams to share So We want to Where is it? Where are you? Is this how we do it? So this is the one you select about our team make it public. So here we go And you guys can take this rental team And play it and test it out if you'd like I would definitely recommend testing things like gigalith if you haven't already testing hit them on top as well um And got the tell they're all very good pokemon in this format and there are a lot of pokemon to test and play around with But um, I've had a lot of fun with them so far. It's strange that we've not really used the extra drill too much I think we use it in one game of the four that we've had this week But um, I think most of the things on this team fit together really nicely Talk all I still think is personally a really good pokemon and uh, I Yeah, I have a lot of time for talk all so have fun with the team my friends as always.
