 Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our road to ranked roulette series We are kicking off today. It is Monday with a brand new team selected all Thanks to you guys and your nominations a huge. Thank you to each and every one of you that did nominate last week Remember the new post will be going up Tuesday Wednesday time I will let you know on one of the videos and you can go over and nominate Pokemon for next week But we're getting a little bit ahead of ourselves because we haven't even selected the team for this week We've had some incredible nominations again going through the list just looking at them and thinking This team would be great if we had this Pokemon. So fingers crossed we get them I'm just gonna say a huge. Thank you once again to all of you for the nominations without those nominations This series wouldn't be happening So a massive big shout out to all of you guys for doing this and I hope you continue to enjoy last week's team Was a lot of fun I'm hoping we can kind of replicate that this week and have maybe a little bit more success But the one hit KL stuff is just incredible. So the more of that we get the better If you nominate for next week have a look for Pokemon that can learn one hit KL moves It would be incredible if we could have a team of just one hit car Pokemon That would be so good, but without further ado, I guess we'll not hang around anymore We need to get over to the roulette wheel and see what is going to be thrown out for our team this week from your Suggestions, so let's head over now and see what we get Really good team. I really like this. We've got some really good selections Obviously some selections here that have been nominated for weeks on pond week upon week and they're finally getting selected We've got the butter free finally. We've got that mega me too X I was gonna say why I'm so used to seeing mega me to a Why but we've got mega me to X. I've never used this Pokemon It's gonna be a lot of fun to utilize see what it can do and Obviously, it's a cool Pokemon anywhere the psychic fighting type is very strong And it's got a nice be based that speed of 130. I'm pretty sure and so it's still kind of hits that nice benchmark I've been most things in the format and we've got other selections We got ditto as well or really great suggesting that we had this week So thank you for that and if you caught the stream last Thursday, we were playing your irons team So I'm gonna incorporate that ditto from that team into this team because it was just it's the best ditto ever It's so good. So we're gonna play choice scarf on it diggers be very good Pokemon a ground type as well and then we've got Rayquaza, which is obviously a bonus for any any roulette team Isn't it we need all the help we can get and that rounds up the team obviously in fernip as well So let's head over to the team itself We can have a look as always the team is down in the description below There is a raw paste and a poker paste for you guys to check out and if you're crazy enough to try out as Well, if you do try out and do let me know what your thoughts are on it though But remember we have got those four bonus buttons. We didn't use all four last week We'll probably use all four this week. Remember we've got a Randomizer a legend maker a switch up and our patreon buttons So all four buttons we can activate come Wednesday this week So we'll give the team a little bit of a try out now Hopefully does some good work today and tomorrow and then maybe Wednesday We activate some buttons to see if we can switch things up, but on the face value of it We've got a lot of good text. We've got butter free here. It can't hill win. So we've got speed control. That's amazing You can also put things to sleep It's got the compound eyes as well to boost that sleep powder there got in fernip such an important Pokemon for the team In general fake out. I've given faint because I've went with a choice band Rayquaza I think it's just the way to do it to be honest So the faint plus a dragon ascent will be extremely strong. We've got the the diggers be as well It's got the groundium Give it wild charge and foul play if we can get ourselves in a tailwind It can really do some work against things like primal ground on Kyogre Lunala other things that the team might struggle against a little bit Then we got that make it me to X with poison jab. I think I've give it Zen headbutt and What's the other move we've got on it? I can't remember but it's down in the description in the disc of day So without further ado, I'm just gonna check that the music is on It's got a horrible feeling that it might not be There we go the music's up. So it's all good and let's without further ado get into it As always guys if you do and enjoy this content, please remember to drop a like do subscribe to the channel for more Pokemon content and as always please leave a comment down below. Let me know your thoughts on the team and How the series has been for you in general. Are you enjoying it? I think it's I think it's a really nice thing that we've we've started here And I'm really enjoying it. We're getting to see a lot of other Pokemon even though it is a bit of a struggle sometimes It's it's a lot of fun regardless. So we've got FM VGC as our first opponent. So we'll hop straight over into team preview Okay, so FM VGC is playing a ground-on requires a restricted call there picking up a lot of popularity going into world So something to watch out for maybe if you're one of those worlds players You've got Suicune, Tabakoko, Bronzong and Incinero. So two forms of speed control here You've got the Suicune that can tailwind and then the Bronzong that can trick room The trick room element probably there to support the ground on more than anything else and then the other Pokemon You're gonna see to check ground on as well between the requires of the Suicune. You can do a nice job there You've also got Snarl, Roar to shut down Things and threats like Xenia. So The Suicune is gonna be pretty difficult for us to deal with to be honest The Tabakoko is gonna be a little bit awkward. I think what I'll do is go in Fernib and Butterfree Do we just bring Requizer and Mega Mewtwo? Why? Mewtwo? I'm definitely bringing Mewtwo, I think And yeah, I think we bring the the Requizer as well just for this year Brute brute force that it can bring again the Tabakoko could be very awkward to deal with That's what diggers be might be better over the Mewtwo here And maybe that is a better shout to be honest. Let's go that. Oh I'm sad that I'm not bringing I'm sad that I'm not bringing Mewtwo to this first one But it's fine. We've got plenty of time this week to bring it You know, this is the first match We've got another match potentially two matches today Maybe depending on time of things and then we've got some matches tomorrow with it So plenty of opportunities to bring it do not be sad that we haven't brought to this first one But it would be good if we could get ourselves off to a really good start. That's the that's what we want to try and do here So we're gonna see incineroar and Tabakoko come out for my opponent. It's it's not a bad time to be honest to Switch in to diggers be Like honestly and we could fake out the incineroar And because I imagine the the Tabakoko will go into the the butterfrey here The only problem is if we don't If the Tabakoko attacks into it in Fairlip, then that could be a little bit. That could be a little bit awkward But I think you would expect us to probably And we need the tailwind we need the tailwind. It's just that the problem is I see is the Incineroar going for a flare blitz into this slot if we don't check it So we fake out the Tabakoko and the incineroar probably just goes for a flare blitz And I don't really want to lose but a free so early on and diggers be coming in here can take a thunderbolt Because of its ground typing obviously Electro web not gonna affect diggers be but will affect in Fairlip unfortunately Okay, now I think what we'll try and do is go for a close combat and We could go for like I feel like the Tabakoko switches out here potentially Like I could go Could switch in ray or I could switch in but a free Just it would be good to kind of keep in Fairlip around for later because if the bronze on's in the back You've got to think we need a way to deal with it Let's go but a free What have I done? I've missed. I don't know what I've done. I don't know what I'm doing. Oh my gosh Could this get any worse? Okay, so it's in and we're all gonna go out what we're gonna see where it quasi come in Yeah, does Tabakoko just protect we might get away with this turn if we do I can't believe this fold switch Into in Fairlip which we don't take This is dreadful Dreadful indeed. Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear. Um, all right In Fairlip gonna hit the field once again gets an intimidate off. I can't believe I just did that Did we bring in diggers be or requires a probably diggers be We've got a contend with the fake out now, which is the big problem I think first we'll protect Just double protect I think here because we've got to try and get a tail wind up I feel at this point and I I'm pretty sure if you're my opponent you want to try and deal with the diggers be before It can take down the incineroar. There's a dragon ascent. It's into butter free though, which is interesting okay I'm not really worried about incineroar right now I'm gonna go for a far play into Rick was and I'm gonna try and set up the tail wind here Because I think the incineroar goes into the butter free. We probably see a dragon ascent into diggers be Um, it's gonna be okay. Rick was are gonna actually withdraw. So my opponent giving us a bit of room here actually See how much this does It's not bad Breaks the potential session. We do get the tail wind up, which is good I think the terrain is gonna run out as well now. So if we see a flablets, it's gonna be a U-turn That's still fine because now we're gonna have access to our Sleep powder, which is ideal Okay, okay groudon perfect. I mean ideal Especially if the the terrain runs out, you know because we can just put The groudon to sleep and yeah, I think earthquake Although we probably see the incineroar come in possibly And the electric chains got one more turn. Okay. This is the last turn, but I mean As an earthquake it will take down taba Coco For sure We could just we could air slash into the groudon just to try and get a flinch. I think the groudon protect So yeah taba Coco gonna withdraw. We're gonna see Cinerol hit the field I don't think the earthquake will take down incineroar But it should should do some nice damage now But we really need to start kind of picking up Some knockouts and keeping the pressure on here Intimidated, it's not bad. It doesn't proc the berry We need this air slash to flinch the groudon. Come on flinch squad. Let's do this. Come on Okay, well, that's not too bad because I mean diggers be will be able to The electric train does disappear we've got fake out to contend with now. Um, yeah, I think we just It's a little bit awkward for us to Because how many turns of tail wind have we got left we need to kind of how we got to turns, okay? I just don't know if we're gonna be able to get another Till wind up that's the problem like I kind of want to go protect with diggers be here and then get Requires are on to the field. I don't want to lock into We could have just double protected as well. That's the other thing we could have went for Groudon's gonna switch out gonna see The type of cocoa hit the field again, okay I Wonder if we can get the cocoa with an extreme speed from this range. I reckon we could you know Are we gonna see a u-turn from the incineroar? That would be How to pick up. Yeah, okay into diggers be okay, so I think we extreme speed Kind I really want to I Really want to file play the incineroar slots. I feel like the scenario switches out to Rayquaza and I think the cocoa probably protects you but if we can get The Rayquaza on a switch with file player that would be incredible. I'm gonna go for it I'm gonna I'm just gonna commit to it and I'm gonna go for that extreme speed into cocoa. Oh We're not gonna see any switches. Oh, it's so oh this is annoying Don't like this now. Oh Why did we do that? You could have just earthquake that would have been fine Unless this takes it out somehow doubt it though Now now we poke a berry Right Crunch Wow, I've never seen a crunch incineroar. I mean we get better for you back in right And we can extreme speed cocoa Slash Sinneral hope we get a flinch there and but we've kind of got to beat everything with How many turns now we've got for the electric train three too many I feel Slash I Feel like we've got to we've got to try and get the flinch on incineroar here because otherwise And we do pick up the knockout on cocoa, which is good Come on flinch, please get the flinch I don't know if we can like win this one now to be honest because I think the opposing ray comes in and just dragging a sense Us Yeah, like if it was just incineroar and ground on I think we'd be fine, but Okay, I'm glad I'm coming back in I mean, what does ground on do here? I Don't know if we get the ground on with an extreme speed. That's a thing we can definitely get the incineroar which could We'll go for that and then we've got the requirement to come in fire punch Yeah And it's if it wasn't full health it I think it would be different Ah, that's so frustrating that like we've made a few like hiccups definitely in this match and I Think if we hadn't done this one feels like it could have been one that we could have won I think the the earthquake with diggers being was like we shouldn't have over predicted when we did there And we got a little bit bitten for it. So I mean Just one of them things that does happen sometimes and an ambassador won't you get punished a lot more than you do? You know on extreme speed as well The five punch extreme speed gonna be enough there we go Yes, maybe we I wonder if we would have been better switching in maybe Going for dragon ascent But then at a fence would have been trashed by the time the ground on came in so we probably take more from a fire punch It was definitely a win-bill match good game to my opponent for sure Definitely one we could have won. I think if we just made a few different Different decisions throughout and that's just yeah, like I say best of one sometimes That's how it goes a bit of a shame, but we'll hop over to our main screen and we'll get on with our next one Hopefully it doesn't take too long to find our next opponent. Um And hopefully we can bring the ditto to our next game because the ditto let's go gladian as well for an extra track We were above 1500 for the first time forever after the stream as well We managed to climb and claw our way back up and I was thinking well stay on top of it this week It'll be good. We'll be able to do it, but Kicking off with a loss. It's fine. You know, it's it's good old-fashioned roulette like tradition to do that We've got an ex-opponent. So let's see what we're going up against now Okay, so we got Sergio as an ex-opponent playing a team of Ho'ol, Tapu Fini and for us ferrathorn, Incinero, and Xenius. So Xenius Ho'ol as the restricted combination here Really interesting combination that we've very rarely seen the ultra series got supporting options there with the tapu fini Gonna provide some sort of speed controller. Ho'ol has probably got tailwinds to support everything You've got a trick room check in the ferrathorn Possibly mega amp for us, which you would normally see as a trick room Pokemon, but there's not trick room option here for my opponent I think Ditto actually is a pretty good option here for us and I think one I would Potentially like to to bringing the back for sure. I think we need fake out support definitely infinite really helps against the ferrathorn. The Ho'ol is Really quite difficult to deal with Unfortunately, the diggers bee is probably our best way to get around it If I go butterfree this might seem really weird But if we go diggers bee and then Ditto, I'm not bringing our restrictives at all I feel like this this combination could win us the match We've got the tailwind to match the Ho'ol for sure We've got the Ditto to match the Xenius that gets a threat We got the diggers bee for the Ho'ol Infernape can deal with The ferrathorn Incineroar I Don't know still haven't brought mega me to X and it could have been a decent Pokemon here You know it hits the incineroar for good damage the ferrathorn the Xenius with poison jab So it does it is a bit threatened by the Ho'ol though That's the only thing in the brave bird and we can't really do too much to it. So That's one of the issues. I think they're okay. Okay, we're fine. We'll see incineroar and Ampharos come up for my opponent So I think we're gonna be able to get our tailwind up What I'm gonna do is just fake out Ampharos and I think How do I fake out incineroar and then try and get the tailwind up Yeah, let's try that and my opponent doesn't have any electric terrain now So we can abuse that that sleep powder if if we can get the tailwind up the Ampharos is likely if anything I think to go for a Thunderbolt into the butterfly. It'll take us down to a sash, but That's not the worst thing in the world because then at least we can utilize this sleep powder going into the following turns So there's the mega Ampharos. We'll get the fake out into the incineroar We'll get the tail wind up, which is good and we'll see what this Ampharos decides to do Power gem. Okay, that will take us down to a sash So I'm gonna go close combat into incineroar and I'm gonna go for a sleep powder into Ampharos Because the sleep powder with the compound eyes, it's kind of well It's not a dead cert, but it makes it a lot more likely to be Hitting every turn. Let's say so Close combat here intimidated won't take the incineroar down, but it goes for a fake out That's definitely a miss click for my opponent, which is really unfortunate close combat taking the incineroar Down a nice healthy amount and we'll be able to get the sleep powder into the Ampharos Which is good. So this will help us open the door to get diggers beyond to the field Which is what we really want and go for that close combat again. I think into Yeah, let's get diggers being and Actually now we'll go close combat into the incineroar and we'll get diggers beating on the butterfrey We'll keep butterfrey around for later because it's at least now if we were in a really awkward position We've got something we've got fodder to bring in to try and get around an awkward situation At least with that one HP Oh, we've got the opportunity later if we're in a nicer position where we can try and get the tailwind up again If you can get into a position where we've got in Ferniff on the field with the active fake out So we're gonna see incineroar just with draw good to see how all hit the field. This is pretty this is fine I'd like I don't mind this at all because diggers beat is the reason Brought it is for that haul with the wild charge. So I think What's the amfrost gonna do it's waking up already another power gen as it going this time We do take it with in Ferniff not ideal and Might be a good idea to bring in a ditto now into amfrost, but then scoffed amfrost is that really gonna be that great? Could be all right in this situation though and we'll go for a wild charge Into the hole. Yeah, we'll do that Wonder what the wild charge damage will be like on the the whole Be interesting to see Amazing if you could pick up the knockout Wow. Oh, it's so close. It's so close. Wow There's a tailwind matching. I can't believe it just got Straighten isn't it? I tailwind pit it out now the whole is probably gonna go for him Wow Focus blast. Let's go power gem into the whole and let's switch. Oh, what are we gonna switch into diggers be? Mmm. Why don't we just stay in and just go for the groundium? No, because we've got that like the amfrost has focus blast, which is a little bit worrying. Um Yeah, I think we go power gem into the whole they were their options there And we'll bring in butter free and sack it off and keep diggers before a little bit later It's just like we've got to get around this tailwind first. I think that's the big thing brave bird Go down to the recall surely I'll probably not really because the recall is not gonna be that much, but it depends if it's got like one HP Yeah, it doesn't quite go down focus blast course you hit I'm not doing too much damage Okay, you get rid of the whole and I think we'll get infinite in and what I probably need to try and do Okay Yeah is is definitely hmm. I need to switch into diggers be here with with ditto So we've got the opportunity to come back in with And Do I fake out the amfrost though and let yeah I fake out the amfrost here because then we want incinero to go down and to the zonius to allow us to get Dittoing but I don't at this point. I feel like we've lost Way too much resources and if we see just dazzling gleam. You see it's not really ideal at all Hmm We will get ditto back in but I think it's a bit too far gone now. Oh, it's annoying like yeah We needed the geometry we're relying on the geometry come there, but it's just it hasn't come at all Okay now They've still got one turn of tailwind. I'm pretty sure yeah, and if they go geometry here, we're pretty screwed Is the amfrost gonna be? Faster though, that's the thing Because we could ground him the zonius now and go moonblast Into the amfrost Just whether or not we see a geometry now if you see a geometry, okay Do we see the geometry though? We do can the groundium from a huge power diggers boot Pick up the knockout onto that zonius If we can we can win this game. We should have doubled the zonius Oh Okay, come on diggers be be the bunny we all want you to be This is the this is the big. This is the big deciding turn of a match. It's all down to you Please come on come on Awesome diggers be you are literally the best the best bunny ever awesome, okay The whole always gone we've got incineroar and we've got amfrost left We can protect diggers be and then we can earthquake and I think we're gonna have the game to be honest Okay, so we have to protect here we can't protect with zonius of course, but we can definitely go for a moonblast into the amfrost Has just protected. I would imagine the incineroar will fake out the zonius here Yeah Okay It's annoying that we've got to earthquake But I'm gonna go for the moonblast Single target earthquake should take down the amfrost, but we're not even gonna see that We're gonna get the moonblast into the amfrost no protect there So it does mean that we're gonna get this earthquake off diggers be it's gonna kick The hind off our opponent today and claim victory over every other Pokemon that was brought to this battle and be the last I'm on standing actually ditto Kicking ass doesn't want to go down. It's like no I'm refusing. I did loads of work in this match I'm sticking around. I'm gonna take the win. We get an awesome win To finish this episode. So I'm so happy about that. We actually got a win and we didn't bring any restricted zest So we proved it can be done Diggers be though. I absolutely insane hype is unreal. I hope you've enjoyed today's episode guys We're gonna wrap it up there. It's been a fantastic one. We've got a brilliant team to take into the rest of the week I am super pumped super excited And I hope you are too leave your comment to let me know what your thoughts are on the team What your thoughts are on the games today and we'll be back tomorrow with more ruler action So until then take care of yourselves.
