 Everyone and welcome back to another episode of our Road to Ranked roulette series My name is Lee also known as Osiris and we are back today to kick off with a brand new team in our roulette series So we'll be taking your nominations throwing them into the roulette wheel and selecting that team of six to take on to the channel this week So we'll be doing that momentarily but before we do that huge Thank you to each and every one of you for those nominations for the Pokemon this week and keep an eye out on our community section of the channel because I'll be putting up a new post on Tuesday Wednesday time to ask you for nominations for next week on The channel now. I don't know how long we're gonna be continuing this series for remember when I started this It was just an interim period because we'd come pretty much to the end of the 2019 season we've only got worlds coming up, which is gonna be in a few weeks time So it was to fill that gap until we got the new rule set So as soon as that new rule set for the 2020 season is announced We'll be kicking right back into really serious competitive Pokemon, but I hope you have been enjoying this This is a lot of fun You know We're seeing a lot of Pokemon in a format that we probably never see before and we we are taking a light heart And I'm taking it kind of seriously as well at the same time I really want to do well and get above the 1500 mark that we've not been talking about but if we can do that this Week that would be incredible. I'm feeling confident. I'm feeling good about the team that we've got this week and Yes moving forward it will be good Hopefully we have a good few weeks left of this series and you know, we'll be bringing this series back Every single year in between this kind of dead period of the VGC season because it's it's Kind of exhausted most things we've got worlds coming up World is always gonna be fun and then as soon as worlds is done We'll get straight into the next year season and I've got lots of content planned for that as well So very exciting times ahead and but getting on to today's episode So we need to nominate these six Pokemon. Remember, we've got a full bonus buttons that we can activate our randomizer switch up Legend maker and our patreon button But we can't activate any of those to change things up in the team until Wednesday But we gives us the chance to let the team have a little bit of a run out in Monday and Tuesday's episode I'm looking forward to it. I'm hoping we get a good selection today. So without further ado guys Thank you so much for all the selections once again Let's head over to the roulette wheel and see which six Pokemon will be taking on to the ladder this week We got an incredible team. I really like it. We've got a really good mix of Pokemon here. We've got to that salazzle Finally finally Brandon has been pushing for that nomination for the longest time So it is come to fruition. We're gonna be using salazzle. It's gonna be exciting to use. It's a great Pokemon poison typing It's a fast faker user. It's got loads of support options as well. So hopefully that will work out. Well, we've got shiftry We've got Haxaris another Pokemon. I know Rex has been pushing for a lot the last few weeks. So that's a good indication guys I know it's sometimes disappointing if you nominate a Pokemon week after week and it's not coming up But be persistent that selection will eventually come up. I promise you that and so we've got the salazzle the king Shiftry Haxaris and then our restricted combination between Dalga and Parkia. So very exciting team this week We've got the old diamond and pearl restricted pairing, which is which is something I've never really seen So we'll head over to the battle spot. The team is down in the description below There's a raw paste and a poker paste of the team if you'd like to check out the details And if you're crazy enough like myself if you want to try it out do that But do let me know in the comment section how you've got with it Maybe what you change about it. So the team just before we jump into it today is Salazzle Kingla shiftry The Haxaris the Dalga and the Parkia. We've went down a park here with trick room root. They've both got trick room quite bulky and Salazzle has got the z move there with the Poisonium Z to just nuke Zonius because as you can see We're quite weak to fairies in general and Zonius being one of the more popular restrictors in this format It does scare me a little bit So having a way to quickly deal with that is going to be really valuable Fake out support there. Then we've got the Kingla. Kingla is a cool Pokemon We've got wide guard on there for supporting the rest of the team It helps out a lot against Dalg and Groudon and Kyogre Especially with those spread attacks that you see so commonly used there shiftry another Pokemon quite nice It helps us out a lot against that Groudon matchup with that chlorophyll ability We're going to be able to have that fast fake out and I put worry seed on there as well If we're against Groudon my thinking was we can worry seed the Groudon We've got two strong water types on the team here So we can get rid of that desolate line and then pick up a knockout with either Kingla or Palkia whichever one see fit then we got the Haxorus put a choice scarf on there We've went down a bit of a one-hit KO root here with Kingla having guillotine and the Haxorus having scarf guillotine So I'm hoping we pick up some guillotine knockouts this week And then like I say the pocket and the dial gar are the two restrictors on this team that do give us a really good matchup against Primarily Kyogre teams it's going to be about taking down the the partnering restricted Pokemon And then making sure that we've got enough in the tank for these two to kind of clean up from there So all in all not a bad team like I say we've still got four buttons that we can activate later in a week So the come Wednesday we might start activating those but do get your comments in now Let me know which button you would like to see activated first and we can make sure to do that come Wednesday Thursday or Friday whichever one you would like to see fit but without further ado, let's get into it today Need to make sure yep we've got the tunes on and We can jump straight into it. I had a haircut. So my hair is looking a lot better It's weird how my camera fits sometimes I can do this and it looks like you've got like a really square head Or is it actually just my hair? I don't know but I had a haircut. It looks a lot better I guess we need to pick some music Let's go Gladiant Gladiant's a great tune. I've been loving it recently. So let's kick off with it today I'm hoping we can have a good start and get our rating into a little bit of a healthier position because at the minute It's just it's abysmal. Um, but it's fine. We're gonna try it It's gonna be fun regardless. We've got the tools here. We can do some we can do some work. I feel and So hopefully we get the opponents to match up and we get the results to follow with that in other news though as well For those of you out there, I will be this week trialing Two series on the channel will be bringing back our competitive series Which is our school of hard knocks daily battle series, which is a more serious VGC series So I'll be doing that Monday to Friday this week as I say I'm trialing it because I Just want to see how easy it is for me to juggle both series all this content two episodes a day It is a lot, but if I can do it that would be amazing And so this series will stick the normal time 7 7 a.m. In the morning UK time And then 7 p.m. Will be the battle spot series and we've got a really fun team starting this week So keep an eye out for that. Let me know your thoughts on the team and The content in general be really good. Any feedback is always really appreciate it So we have a first opponent great stuff. So let's hop in tour to improve Right our first one today running drift blim tabulele grow out on curem white Melotic and a riku looking at definitely a gravity team here and tabulele probably the gravity user Drift blim gonna have something like hypnosis, which is really really frustrating Shiftries probably something we want to bring because the ground on is probably something that my opponent wants to bring in the back the curem white is Awkward to deal with for sure Dale Garpaki, I think the best thing that we can probably do is try and trick room and turn one and maybe go from there Because I think the Lalee has to lock into gravity for that the Drift limit is be able to spam the sleep It's really really awkward because we've got nothing that kind of helps us out against Although we could go hacks for us as a lead because at least then we should be out speeding the Lalee and the drift blim with How you need to speed things in this sort of team. Let's go dial go as well Do we bring and Shiftry I'm good. I'm gonna try try and lock in I think I think we've ran out of time I don't know what we've locked in The worst start possible. It's fine. It's fine. It's all about having fun In this series. That's what they say. That's what they say, isn't it? I don't know who they are but Let's see Haxerist I'll go hacks or us. Come on. Let's do let's make some waves hacks or us I don't know whether I go for guillotine turn one I don't know whether I want to actually attack the the top of Lalee though because the thing is attacking the Lalee If it does go for gravity which it's likely to do if we knock it out say it gives my opponent a free switch into something The next turn and we don't really want to be doing that We don't want to be giving my opponent any more an advantage than they already have So we'll try and go for and oh, what do I lock into guillotine won't affect the drift blade We can drag and claw it for sure and I will I will try and trick room definitely. We've got it. Gotta try and trick room Oh, I see wind Okay That's a different that's a different route that My pun has gone for I don't mind the speed drop at all dial girl. I appreciate that and hacks are as well I mean if we get through this turn for sure the dragon claw doing decent damage there and it's haunt into dial They're gonna shut our ability to Trick room down, which is fine. It's fine. It is fine because now I think we can probably adjust our board position a little bit and maybe gets a lasso in here and No, we have to attack. Let's go for the Lele. Let's go for a flash cannon get some damage onto it We know it's not scoff Lele now, so it gives us a little bit more There's security going forward. We still could see the the gravity come out though That's the that's the the worst thing and but we are gonna see a tailwind set up from the drift blade It's a gravity and we're falling into the trap that we said we wouldn't fall into the 10 before but that's fine. It's all right We should have went for the drift blade, but never mind and we don't take down the Lele so it's not all bad. It's not all bad We can't obviously go for a Fake out because of the terrain. I've got nothing to really switch in for Salazzle Do we need it for later on the game? Not so much it might be one of those Pokemon that we can actually get away with just sacking and Just go for a sludge bomb and if we get a sludge bomb off it might be might be nice to be able to do that Let's go for flash cannon into the drift blade I don't expect it to pick up the knockout, but you never know. There's another icy wind coming out potentially trying to break a Sasha I reckon On the Salazzle before hitting it with a sidekick that would be my best guess you may go moon blast has gone moon blast so We could potentially pick up a double knockout here, which would be incredible And Salazzle gets a stick around for another day Just really nice. Hopefully we can pick up a knockout here with flash cannon. Come on dial guy Let's do this for the team do it for me Do week to week a taunt does wear off though, which is pretty big And the Lele going down means that we can potentially trick room And if we can get a little little Kingler on the field then we can why go trick room and then everything is looking rosy in the garden, isn't it? It's getting Kingler in though And if the Curems the last Pokemon in the back, which I expected to be I Need to keep hacks around for later. So I think the one thing that we could potentially do is Let's try and get some damage off Just into the ground and I'm not gonna see move. I'm gonna try and overheat it and I'm just gonna protect out that I'm gonna hope that Salazzle goes down here. I'm sorry Salazzle, but you're the one thing if you're like I can I can sacrifice at this point As I see wind yeah once again just loving that I see when this drift blim isn't it? So take us down a notch or two here Groudon press with blades hit hit hit hit hit hit it hits Right now Salazzle going down. I guess the worst possible scenario for us would be Fire punch from the groudon into Dialga But is it too tempting it depends on how good like of a knowledge There's my opponent has for Kingland on my god like I know it and I would always be like it's obviously got white God It's a crab look at it. It's gonna have white God. I just not has white God That's no logic for knowing that it has white God drift lip Noses are you kidding? Blind hypnosis. Oh, it's not blind is it? It's in gravity. So Oh King now we need you we need you king la we need you to be awake and this is not the time to be sleeping Let's tell when pillars up the weirdness disappears King come on This is not the time to be falling asleep my friend Because I'm all we've got is haxer us to come back in and I'm gonna try and white God What I'm gonna try and do Is because it's pointless bringing Haxer us in if Dialga goes down. We're in a trick room. Haxer us is just gonna be out speeding This loss I'm gonna feel because of the scarf So we're better off sacking this to give dial guy at least a turn where King like and maybe wake up And that's all you need Please don't do too much damage to King the King that takes it kind of well haxer is going down, of course The gravity runs out and okay We need King let's wake up and guillotine the ground on that would be The most phenomenal start to any roulette series that we've ever had You know us as well our teams that we play quite frequently. We can't use crab hammer here. So we're going for the guillotine I'm going for the the big Style point guillotine here. We'll go for a flash cannon into the drift blim Hopefully my opponent doesn't go for precipice blades King let's wake up. Come on. You're the worst crab in the world of crabs Or we can hope for now as a precipice blades miss like a double precipice blades miss We need that we need that come on There's one But not on the one we need we're never gonna be able to do with just Alga and King let is not gonna be able to do This by itself King let Ha yeah, what I was saying is what you'll notice with these roulette teams is we're quite weak to sleep in general It's just something that we're not really able to check That well Okay, we have to rely on precipice blades missing. I think more than anything try and flash cannon the cure I'm it's definitely not gonna be enough to pick up the knockout and You tell us still got its berry, but one blade is gonna take us down and we need like At least two or three years past to take this ground. I'm down. I'd imagine We're just so close. There's just not not enough in part. This probably does it Blaming King let and yeah, it's a hard match up, isn't it a drift blim any time with hypnosis is always Awful to play against a good game to my opponent. I did think there was a slight There was a slight chance there that we could have maybe won that match But yeah, the hypnosis coming out kind of shut down our options to be able to do much Going forward, which is a bit bit disappointing and Maybe park it would have been good there against the ground on but Shiftry would have been Decent the only reason why I didn't really bring shiftry was because It's just it's like you bring shiftry or salazzle or it feels like that's how the team is Meant to be operated because if you bring salazzle and shiftry, maybe we'll try it We'll try it out and if you bring both of them Then I do feel like you're kind of restricting your offensive options elsewhere, so It's a shame the Haxorus went down the way it did but there was logic behind sacking it. I think at the time Because of the trick room going up and maybe it was better just not setting the trick room up at all I'm just going for an earth power into the ground on at that point then getting Haxorus in But then we got to make the decision. I guess depending on what we've got left What do we get rid of at that point and we get rid of Well, what do we lock into do we lock into stoneman tantrum or dragon claw dragon claw will get the cure him in most situations, but then the dragon claw is not going to be really strong enough to get the ground on like It's going to be a really difficult match. Isn't it either way? Anyway, we're gonna look for an ex-opponent Will not dwell on our last result will move on and try and get a win to kick us off today Because that is the goal and I feel like this team can do it It can do it and This is the first match with it as well So we just got to try and bed ourselves in with it and get familiar with it But I'll cut the video now. We'll come back when we find our first opponent my friends And we finally got an ex-opponent of the episode. Hopefully in this Today's episode I've actually managed to cut out that section We had an exciting and enjoyable section of no cut scene and I was waiting on opponent on Friday's episode So I do apologize for that, but we've got an ex-opponent. Let's hop straight into team preview Okay, Simo is running a team of Yveltal, Amungas, Azernius, Incineroar, Gastrodon and Tapu-Fini. We've got the X, Y combination here. A really strong combination of Pokemon Good support options there with the Incineroar, fake out support the redirection from the Amungas The Gastrodon and the Fini obviously supporting their own way But both water types both weak to shiftry and I might actually you know We were talking about just before lead shiftry Salazzle gives us double fake out One of the things that do worry about a little bit is the fact that Yeah, we might be better off going shiftry. I definitely want to bring shiftry to this match 100% We could bring Haxorus go Gilatine, Gilatine style or go Dialga I might go Dialga Dialga? No, let's go Haxorus Salazzle and then yeah Dialga. I think I'll bench park it for this one Okay, let's get into this one Simo, good luck my friend, and hopefully guys for you out there I'm gonna try my best to get a victory and shiftry can do some work in this match for sure We still have to be very careful around Azernius Which our team is very very weak against Azernius and Senoroh here we go Okay, good fake outs, trade fake outs and bring in Salazzle, I think yeah Yeah hmm, I worry about the Incineroar going out into Definitely into Amungas here, but we'll bring in Salazzle And we've always got Dialga in the back as well that we can bring in We'll go for a fake out into the Azernius here with shiftry The tree with arms And there's the Fleeblitz. Yeah, just got straight off the back Got by the attack. Don't worry about fake out. It's like yeah, I just want to get rid of this This tree and so we do hang on with a focus that the Incineroar takes a nice chunk of damage there Now we all pressure in Azernius, so that's that's a decent thing Probably want to keep shiftry around for later on when it switch hacks for us back in. What do I do? Yes, I think so Do we got fake out into the zone or do we just go taunt into it? I feel like the Incineroar switches out here That's the only thing but it probably goes you turn out and the Zernius probably protects But just to check because we will lose if we let the Zernius get a Jmancy off I'm just gonna fake out just to be safe. Yeah, I'll get hacks to us back on to the field And we'll keep some shiftry around for later Zernius protecting Here's a U-turn I reckon Yeah, we might be better going for the fake out into the Incineroar hindsight Obviously, we would have been and they may be still coming now for sure I Mean what the one-win con we've got here against this is if that's the Veltal It's interesting. Um, I don't know whether the Zernius stays in. I really don't I don't know Oh, what do we do with hacks for us? Do we just guillotine the Veltal? Yeah, let's do it and go for the Z acid down for into the Zernius If we can get a double knock out here Christmas is come early Huxerous is the best And the acid down for my pun is like what is going on. Oh, this is the greatest turn in Pokemon history Ever, you know, it's obviously not but on this series greatest turn ever that we've had acid down Well, please pick up the knockout. You've got to do it Salazzle put in the work get rid of the deer and Then this match is pretty much sealed up awesome, oh Yes, I love this team already. It's just the best team ever. I mean what more do you want? guillotine hacks or is and Acid down post Salazzle. What more do you need in this format? Nothing? Nothing because anything that resists That's a downpour the sludge bomb or the overheat. You just guillotine and it's gone and your problem is erased There is the Amungus start is in the back We still got a little bit of work to do To to get around these Pokemon and what I'm gonna do switch Huxerous out I feel like that's a good slot for my opponent to come in and well to to spoil really to stop those One hit chaos We'll go for a taunt into the Amungus try and shoot it down. We might get baked out into a Salazzle slot though But if they try and spoil our Huxerous, then it's it's it's fine Yeah, yeah, that's alright. That's good. That's good. So we'll fake out Yeah, fake out Amungus and overheat Do you overheat? I don't know if they overheat or we'll pick up the knockout and we've got a better option here I don't know if we have I mean we're probably better off going for just to fake out into Incinero and then overheating In mungus and hoping the other he picks up the knockout it might do, you know At least then Chiftery gets another turn on the field. Let's see Salazzle putting in the work here. Come on. Get the Amungus Oh, that's so close. Has it got a berry? Are we berry Amungus? It's gonna put Salazzle to sleep. We would have been better going for a taunt there But we're all right. We're all right. We're not in the worst position ever We'll switch Chiftery out again. We'll bring in Haxorus once again And I'll try and go for a sludge bomb into the Amungus here. We're gonna have to take a turn to sleep So hyped after that turn that pulls this episode From the ashes and just so good I'm so pleased we got that guillotine. It's like the best feeling when you use a one-hit kill move It's yeah, they're not like the most viable moves, but when you hit them, it's like yes Justice There's a flare blade. It's gonna be into Salazzle Just get some damage off there doing some decent damage, I guess Hopefully we don't see a spoil. Just clear smog into Haxorus The nice thing about having a nerve on the Haxorus as well It means that the Incineroar now that's sitting on the field and cannot Activate its berry. So as long as we're loud and kicking we're all right We'll go for the sludge bomb and we'll go for a stomping tantrum into the Incineroar I would have went for earthquake on Haxorus, but we've got nothing that can sit next to it So stomping just made a lot more sense It is enough to pick up the knockout on the Incineroar and we've just got the Amungus left It's probably gonna put no no putting anything to sleep Salazzle coming through and we're gonna end up with the pairing That did all the work in this match Winning out Haxorus Salazzle take my hat off to you some more. Thank you so much for the game What a great way for us to finish up today guys. The hype is real So I hope it was enjoyable for you guys to watch and we're gonna wrap things up there We'll be back with another episode with this team tomorrow and hopefully we can carry on this hype train because it is Happening and the Morgila team won't hit girls. We get the happy RLB Kingler has access to it. So it's Kingler's turn next obviously We didn't really get to feature it very much today Hopefully we can feature it a bit more tomorrow and it can land one of those one hit kill moves That would be amazing. So we'll wrap it up. Thank you so much for tuning in guys Do leave your comments down below and I look forward to reading through them and we'll see you for our next episode tomorrow So until then take care and bye-bye
