Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our vgc 2020 battle series my name is Lee also known as Osiris and we're going to continue on today with this dual primal team that we've been playing over the last couple of weeks on the channel we made some changes on monday with the sableye and the bronzon and things have been going really well since those changes were introduced at the start of this week as always the team is down in the description below there is a raw paste and a poker paste and without further ado let's get into today's battles and hopefully it doesn't take too long to find our first opponent as always if you do enjoy this sort of content though do remember to drop a like on the video do subscribe to the channel and let me know down in the comment section below what your thoughts are on this team and what team archetypes you would like to see featured next on the channel going into next week obviously we will be playing a brand new team so if you've got any suggestions if you'd like to see played any combination certain pokemon do let me know down below and i will make sure to try and feature as many of them as possible and also i hope you're enjoying the content being back on the channel the more competitive side of content obviously we are in the run up to sword and shield right now but until sword and shield does drop we will be playing the ultra series because it is what we're playing in the official tournaments now and hopefully this content is helping you out and obviously if you're new into the ultra series you didn't play in the back end of last season you're just getting into it this season there's a bunch of guides on the channel as well so make sure to check those out they will be helpful for you they'll explain the primer pokemon calls archetypes that you can put those pokemon with and just give you an overall view of getting started in this format alongside these videos which i hope and if you've got friends that are starting as well direct them over to the channel because the more the merrier obviously and hopefully they will get some benefit from the channel as well it does look like it's taken a little bit longer to find our first opponent of the episode you know i would have liked so we'll cut it here save you guys some time we'll come back when we do find that first opponent we've got a first opponent of the episode we've got angel from the united states and we'll get straight into team preview looks like they've got a spicy team to kick us off with today so it is going to consist of groudon zekrom metagross tapu lele mandibus and gastron really nice composition here of some odd pokemon that we don't see too commonly used but going together and making a lot of sense when put together i think for what this team would maybe struggle with in the format so we've got the zekrom and the groudon is the the combination there um not something you see so commonly and there's not really any trick room on the team you've got tailwind from the mandibus it's likely got the psychic seed of anything maybe you're gonna have mega metagross there and then the gastron going to be something that my opponent can use to help them out with tricking this is going to be a very tricky game for us indeed i think we're going to have to utilize groudon but maybe not in a i don't know if we can get trick room set up we can maybe maybe kind of spam hypnosis here would probably help us i think bronzon's going to be good and nonetheless um this is this isn't this is not the easiest this is not the easiest at all because sableye we can't really make as best use of the faker as we would want to um maybe salamence here for its intimidate support quite good along with bronzon so benching sableye maybe it would have been a good idea to bring coco in this match as well the only thing that kind of puts me off bringing it is that zekrom will be boosting that which is already super powerful and we don't really want to be given any more firepower even though it would be overriding the psyche train which might be quite useful but zekrom tapulele coming out for my opponent so the the intimidate especially if this is a physical zekrom going to be quite quite useful especially to run um i mean one of the things we could potentially do here is just trick room switch hard switching to groudon i don't see really how my opponent would get around it other than taunt tapulele um which i don't know if it is to be honest because i feel like with mind of us you don't really need to taunt on lele as much so i would i would have assumed that it would have been scarfed it helps protect zekrom a lot more we'll go for the trick room and we'll bring in groudon the only problem i guess here we could see is maybe could drake or meet her into the salamence slot from the zekrom zekrom could be scarfed as well you never know but we'll get groudon in if we can get uh trick rooms that appear uh then groudon's gonna have a real nice and easy time because the next turn if we don't see any switches now from my opponent we can gravity and then we've got the hypnosis to spam the following turn if their groudon does hit the field nature's madness coming out from the tapulele going to be into our bronzon um you gotta imagine that yeah we're gonna see a fusion bolt is it gonna be enough into the bronze i'm gonna take it down no not enough and it is life vault so we did get the trick room up um okay that's good for us that is good very good for us um now i'm gonna get this gravity up because i feel like it is gonna be important we've got a very slow groudon um so getting the gravity up now might see some adjustments from my opponent they may uh switch out uh or protect like they're gonna do with the zekrom here uh wonderful seeing nature's madness into our groudon which i'm totally happy with if we see that because then the following turn we we've still got our bronzon and it was still looking pretty going into the following turn so uh press with blades coming out definitely not gonna miss because of the gravity into the lele uh not quite enough to take it down but there's a nature's madness gonna be into groudon here take us down to 50 health super fine with this super fine um what i'm gonna do is go for hypnosis into that zekrom and go for a precipice blade just in case the zekrom switches out here my opponent might be tempted to switch it into something that can better take uh these precipice blades something like gastrodon if we can catch my opponent switch that in uh with the hypnosis then it gets so much easier for us doesn't it it is going to be a groudon now for my opponent um as they bring it in it's going to be taking a precipice blade unfortunately we probably won't be able to take it down but then again the hypnosis is going to be really really strong for us to uh just ensure that we're not taking any damage from it going into the following turn so there we go bronzon popping it to sleep and we should be able to get rid of this tap lele now with those precipice blades coming out not really worried about a nature's madness the thing you've got to think about is probably gastrodon going to come in for my opponent it's a good way for my opponent to tackle and deal with this trick and but because bronzon is slower than gastrodon we'll be able to put it to sleep before it is able to do anything and i think a couple of precipice blades are still probably going to be in more than enough to deal with it and there it is there you are little cheeky gastrodon unless it's got safety goggles well i'm not can't have safety goggles because that would make any difference right now this is going to lumbary or chest or berry but we'll go for that hypnosis into gastrodon and we'll be able to get rid of the groudon now put the gastrodon to sleep uh does protect trying to stall out these turns of trick room and um gravity be able to remove this groudon from the field though which is going to be very useful for us so yeah into the protect on the gastrodon we've still got at least one turn of trick room i think we've got a couple of turns to be honest i think we've got two turns of trick room left but we'll double check as we go into this next turn zekrom gonna hit the field once again not really too worried about zekrom uh protecting or anything right now it's not really threatening and i think a precipice blade is probably going to be more than enough to take it down there's no threat of any priority here for my opponent so the field oh you only got one turn one turn left so uh we'll try and get this hypnosis and precipice blade on to this gastrodon now zekrom gonna protect out there's last turn of trick room i thought we had one more turn but that's fine uh we did get the hypnosis it does hit into the gastrodon putting it to sleep like i said unless it's going to lumbar chester we should be all right it does take that guaranteed turn to sleep now and we will outspeed at the next turn it'll just be a case of wondering whether or not this zekrom has something like earth power that could deal a considerable amount of damage to our groudon which might it might do it could do definitely could do um now do we just go trick room and precipice blades is it gonna have is it gonna have um i don't know if it will have earth power i don't think you do have earth power you've got like you've got precipice blades you've got earth power on the gastrodon i don't think you have earth power on the zekrom i could be wrong it's got earth power and it's like warmed no of course it does but we'll get the trick room up again i mean that's what we get that's what you get for saying you've got earth power on gastrodon you've got earth power on zekrom you've got precipice blades everywhere it's it's all going on okay um gravity turn to normal i'm gonna have to get kaiogorn to the field this is this is difficult isn't it now um i don't know if we'll get zekrom with kaioga um do we go blind hypnosis and zekrom i think we've got to get kaiogorn to the field now it's not gonna be i it's not ideal at all i mean one option we've got it's a little bit risky because we're kind of relying on gastrodon to stay asleep but we could go protect kaioga gravity and then the next term hypnosis i just don't think it's worth doing though um okay i think we double the gastrodon to be honest i think we try and get rid of the gastrodon let's go ice beam and gyro ball into it yeah zekrom i'm gonna protect anyway so that's fine hopefully we don't proc a berry that would be no berry oh it's got recover okay that makes things a bit more difficult okay ice beam it's gonna recover again i think uh we'll go for a hypnosis into the zekrom and i'll protect i'll protect kaioga we can get the hypnosis off with bronzong into the zekrom it makes things so much easier for us to deal with it ah we shouldn't have risk we shouldn't have risk that that earth power should we we knew it could possibly have it make so much sense we get the blind hypnosis come on bronzong such bs but we'll take it we'll take it all day there's the ice beam okay it's elements not gonna have the easiest time when it comes in but bronzong actually sticking around man bronzong is a beast bronzong is a beast doesn't even want to go down to that so we will go for a gyro ball and an ice beam into the zekrom hopefully the zekrom doesn't wake up this turn it has taken its guaranteed turn of sleep so we just needed to sleep for one more turn which it is this turn so it's gone for that protect so we'll be able to get a gyro ball it's not going to do very much um and then an ice beam into it which gastrodon just gonna recover which is fine um i really don't mind the gastrodon doing that it just means that bronzong and stick around a little bit longer yeah so ice beam how much we doing come on and it's gone zekrom down so that hypnosis wasn't massively necessary when you think like we could have just ice been to anywhere or in trick room and it would have went down so it's it's really not the worst we'll go for a blind hypnosis into gastrodon why not and we'll go for an ice beam we can't use our water type attacks because of the storm drain ability on gastrodon it will just boost its special attack bronzong on fire it just bronzong just thinks that the gravity still up it's like uh gravity gravity is still up right so yeah we'll just completely shut my opponent out of this game with these hypnosis and this is the other thing it's like a real good fall back um to come back on to uh we'll switch bronzong how do we i don't really want to switch bronzong salamence i rather just bring salamence in at the end really and we'll just we'll go a jar of all ice beam um and there's a forfeit okay so we get really lucky with the the blind hypnosis is you know without them i think it would have been a lot more difficult but then again um like i say the damage from the ice beam on to zekrom i thought might need to to take it down but considering it only took one i think we would have been all right regardless without that blind hypnosis anyway um in the late game so a very good game to my opponent though and another nice one for us to kick off with today so we'll go straight into our next one pick some music i guess should we go train a version two we never have this track right never do 1678 dante from israeli have we played this guy before i'm pretty sure we have might be playing a different team i'm gonna move my head and get into team okay so dante bringing a team of tapulele requiser lunala incinero ferrimosa and amungus could be trick room could be tailwind it's more likely it's going to be tailwind from lunala there's very little on my opponent's team that really thrives under a trick room environment other than the amungus um sableye oh well well you know bronzong's going to be good here i think we do need to be careful for the lunala and the incinero um i'm kind of tempted to go for the standard fall that we've been running so far the sableye bronzong groudon kayoga there's a part of me that wants to bring koko but i don't think we need to to really fear the amungus too much because we've got the taunt on the sableye that can help out there yeah we'll go for these four good luck dante i'm hoping that we see the ferrimosa i'm intrigued with ferrimosa in the ultra series it's a it is a very interesting pokemon uh i know urine was running it for a little while we play these team on stream i think as well with the ferrimosa and it was interesting i think it does some work um it's not one of those pokemon you see that that commonly though amungus and lunala coming out for my opponent which is fine we can definitely get a trick room up if we want to we can definitely go for a taunt into that amungus if you want to um whether or not i want to take amungus beam i'll try and get the trick room up i will and i'm gonna go for a do i taunt the amungus or do we just fake it out here might just fake it out this term just fake it out yeah z move we're gonna have to cut this unfortunately my friends but we do have the casted berry on bronzon which means that uh we can take this 100 percent no crits is what i'm saying we'll be right back it's actually into sableye which does surprise me so we've got the sash there so it's all all right it's all all right so we're fine um the amungus has played you've got the trick room up and we can go for that taunt now into the amungus unless it's got mental herb then we're in it we should be fine um might even i'm gonna go for a gravity now with bronzon and i'm gonna go for that taunt into the amungus uh we should be able to stop the amungus like i say unless it's got mental herb it hasn't just got clear smog it's gonna hit into our sableye but that's fine that opens the door for us to get ground on onto the field and start chucking out these precipice blades especially when we've got the gravity up and we can start putting things to sleep as well this next turn because the amungus beam um let's see what the damage is going to be like yeah bronzon should take this pretty pretty well yeah that's fine i mean we take that really comfortably yeah let's get ground on in let's start doing some work we need to start like ripping through my opponent now really um i'm gonna put the lunala to sleep i think and just my opponent have the bound to have incinero right try to remember their team they don't have incinero though this could be a lot easier than what i think although we've got to watch out for white guard what have they got they do have incinero so i don't mean i'd imagine incinero to probably come in at some point we'll go for the hypnosis into the lunala i'm gonna sword stance with ground on because i don't feel like the amungus yeah the amungus isn't staying it's having lele coming out okay that's fine i mean i don't mind this at all i don't know protecting okay the only problem is i would say is there could be white guard from this lunala um although it has got protect protect you guys being you haven't seen the other two could have white guard could definitely have white guard i'll go for hypnosis do i go for the precipice blades i'll go for it i'll go for it because it's even if we see the white guard we still i just won't yeah i'm gonna go for it i'm gonna go for it the damage is just too useful here um the lele is not really gonna threaten a k on either pokemon that we've got so um yeah precipice blades let's just go for it let's start chucking the blades out oh we've got the opportunity to it does go for another protect uh we do it does fail so the hypnosis hitting there we should take down the lele with a plus two um precipice blades and although the shadow shield's not bust on the the lunala this should still do some decent damage we really want the trick room to expire now because the amungus is going to come back in and this is a little bit of a problem for us but not the worst hmm come on amungus we know you're coming in it makes me have to really protect the ground on the next turn because i think if you're amungus as well you have to spoil the ground on you have to spoil the ground on so it could give us the opportunity to hypnosis the amungus especially if we've got one turn a trick room left which we do uh so i'll go for the hypnosis into the amungus i'm gonna have to protect ground on because the amungus is going to be slowing ground on it's going to be able to put us to sleep and i can't let our big hit be put to sleep at this point in the match yeah they're going into the ground on that makes a lot of sense so we get the amungus um and we might be able to get another trick room up now um honestly because i think what i'll do this next turn is go for do i just press up his blades in trick room i mean i could do or i could just press up his blades to be honest or i could fire punch the amungus like what's what's coming in from the back the rick wiser could come in so i do i'm gonna trick room and i'm gonna fire punch the amungus the alunolus is asleep okay so it works out perfectly first we'll get rid of this amungus now unless it's sashed it is oh that's not so good with the trick room going up it does stay asleep though hmm if it wakes up the next turn that's not great for us we've got to get rid of this amungus um gravity return to normal as well ah this is tricky now and we've got to just jarrow up all the amungus and uh press let's just press his blades let's hope the amungus doesn't wake up of course it wakes up and it spoils our ground it's exactly that you know if we protected it would stay asleep it's always going to be the way isn't it always um we'll get rid of the amungus which is not great timing in all honesty because now uh rick wiser's probably going to come on at the field and things get a lot trickier for us we do spend a turn sleep lunala wakes up amungus beam and this will take down brine's arm but it does open the door for kyle better to come in um and we do have probably a fast water spot we can take advantage of it's just if it is rick wiser it makes it difficult because we can't oh we can't hit the ray which is why dragon dragon claw is such a good option on groudon because it just removes that ray option whenever it does come up to the field okay so here it is here's the ray can we just water spot to get rid of the lunala though all precipice blades and help with groudon wakes up an ice beam the ray it's getting so messy well ice beam the ray we'll go for precipice blades and hope that gets the lunala hope we get one turn wake up and and can knock it out um the ray quasi might protect it's maybe bounded though as well so it might not have access to it could be a solvest as well many options we know that ray can run many variations of it's uh whatever it's uh whatever it's trainer decides so there's the ray mega evolving this is why i mean this is so good especially with that sash kicking myself a little bit but not protecting groudon that's all we needed to do it's all we needed to do lunala protecting okay it's not the worst groudon stays asleep what's the ray doing is the ice beam like two ice beams should get ray okay dragon scent i'll be into kyle guy would imagine yeah okay as long as we've got one turn of trick room left now that's this is where it gets messy because this is extreme speed range unless it is banded which that kind of feels like it potentially could be i'm just going to go for the ice beam and i'm going to go for the precipice blades again yeah groudon wakes up oh we missed lunala but we'll get the ray okay it is banded so maybe a roll there or maybe not as heavily invested is the one we played in our previous episode side shot coming out into auger which is fine uh we can probably fire punch for the win now though plus two should be enough i think that's the first precipice blades ground on is missed so we can't really be too angry and we'll just fire punch and that should be enough for the win i'm going to see the protect there delay in the inevitable my friend unfortunately um the team trick room ending the team going to be strong enough to kind of see this one out so that's quite nice for us um and then we guys beam take us down about 40 50 percent 40 percent i'm going to say 40 percent i don't think it'll take us down the half out i really don't oh critical hit i was wrong the crit screwed us but that's fine very good game to my opponent good game to Dan take good game to my opponent first game today some nice games for us and we've got one more episode with this team before we finish up and
