 Hello friends and welcome back to another VGC 2020 battle series My name is Lee also known as Osiris and in today's episode We're gonna be finishing up with our preparation or at least on the casual ladder anyway before we get into series 6 starting in a couple of days time Like I said what I wanted to do this past week on the channel was kind of gave give you and get you all Prepared as best I can with some rental teams to hop straight on to the ranked ladder as soon as series 6 comes around on the 1st of September and So we're gonna be like I say finishing up with the rental teams today Tomorrow on the channel do make sure you check out the episode because I've got about 14 poker pastes To to give you guys as well. Obviously with the rental teams I'm kind of locked to how many I can put out at one time I have just today moved over to my second switch So we're going to be able to throw a few more out there and keep a few more of them up live for a lot longer And so if there is teams that have got live at the minute that you'd like to have sticking around for A longer period of time. Let me know and I'll make sure to move them across and we can keep them across there For this foreseeable future, but today we're going to be featuring a Duraludon grim snarl team And a lot of fun. I think it's going to be good We've got the urshifu in there the primarina the rotom heat and the moonga So moonga's been on a lot of my teams and I know a few of you have mentioned this But it's probably the premier kind of grass type user in the format with what it can offer teams with the redirection The sleep status The trick room kind of answer if you needed to be that pokemon So that's why we're seeing it on a lot of the teams at the minute Obviously you've got pokemon like ferrathorn like serena and we've got plenty of time in series six To cover a lot of these different grass types. It was just to give you guys Probably what I feel is one of the better pokemon to use at the start of the format And what will give you a little bit of a better idea of going in and helping Learning things like that. So what we're going to do in today's episode is always play a couple of games with the team Just to showcase a little bit talk through some of the mods in the team And then I'll give you the rental code at the end. There is a poker paste down in the description below as well So if you want to grab that jump on showdown try it out Be my guest. Hopefully you'll have a lot of fun with it And as always if you do try it out, let me know down in the comment section What your thoughts are on the team what you think about the build and if it's going to inspire anything if you're on I'd love to hear and um as always if you enjoy this sort of content Do drop a like on the video.

Um Let's me know that you're enjoying this content as well And if you're new to the channel welcome and make sure you hit that subscribe button and the notification bell So you don't miss any content like this on the channel Going forward. So I've got a first opponent corner. Have they got a series 16? That definitely qualifies this series 16. It's an interesting build. We've got uh, dusklops alexa in teleon miltank Hitmonchan and snorlax just posing after the uh, the miltank. I still get nightmares from From golden silver whitney's miltank. My god. I like they're literally the hardest gym leader ever ever to face She'd do a playthrough of that one day. That would be quite fun on the channel. Okay. What are we looking at? I mean dusklops is going to set the trick room up for something like snorlax. I have no idea what the miltank's doing Hitmonchan not really to show What it's doing in teleon alexa obviously a really fast speedy mode So we need to be careful around that I think grim snarls really solid here to get our screens up give us a little bit of room Um around things that are going to be setting up is deraladon All right here. I think it is like what really threatens deraladon. Maybe the hitmonchan And we're not the strongest on the special side, but I mean with screens and assault vests. We're doing all right Aren't we I think we do bring a shifu gives a bit of a helping hand against things like snorlax Um, and we probably won't I mean the moongus isn't bad here as well If they do set the trick room up at least we've got a way to kind of disrupt their trick room mode If they do go for it, but I mean It's also like, you know primarina would make sense here as well So I think between the two of them we could go with either Obviously we're opting for the a moongus. Um, just because the trick room looks like it's going to be more prevalent on my opponent's side of the field So we'll see what they throw out at us Sato and nurse Still failing with the nicknames aren't I we'll do it. We'll do it in future. Okay. We're going to see miltank I really I like and snorlax. I mean snorlax probably going to try and set up by the margin Probably primarily going to be more physical attackers on my opponent's end. At least that's what they're kind of known for Doing max and go for draco or doing max and go for a flash cannon I mean the defense boost probably going to be more useful. The other thing is the max darkness could be could be good I think we'll go into the snorlax. Uh, it's a more threatening thing in my mind here from my opponent's side of the field Uh, it could be pleasantly surprised or Unpleasantly surprised by the miltank. We'll see I do love miltank as a pokemon. It's such a goofy pokemon, you know Um, it just never really sees competitive play. It's um, I like and obviously I was big into singles when gold silver and crystal were around back in the day when I was like knee-high and Obviously miltank back in the day wasn't a bad pokemon especially in singles use that heal bell um to get rid of status conditions and things like that so Okay, we'll get the steel spike. There's a nice chunk of damage into that snorlax We've obviously got a screen up as well with grim snow. So that's useful. Um High horsepower. Okay, well, that's fine. I mean behind the reflect. It's like doing very little Um, and there's the belly drum. Okay, so that makes things a little bit tricky but We're not we're not in a bad place at all We're literally not in a bad place because I mean even if they max now This is one of the reasons why I got file play like you can argue about spirit break on grim snow And like I'm not going to say it's not a bad option. I think it's a very solid option 100% Um, but the file plate does give you a little bit more options against stuff like this So we'll go for the steel spike into nurse into that miltank and we'll go for the file plate into the snorlax here Um Surprise you don't see a berry on the the snorlax. We do get another steel spike Big damage into the miltank this time. So I'm taking it as well as that Um, snorlax did and prokken a berry. What are we going to see here? What are we going to see? Citrus just the citrus. There's the high horsepower again And literally just tickling Darrell and Darrell are done at the minute and there's the file player there I mean spirit break in the same regard probably does enough to snorlax You just got to worry there if my opponent did max In that case, we'd probably just attack it with Doraladon. So, you know, there's it's a kind of a non-argument really I just like file play that and you may wonder why I've got it on there over spirit break And so this time we'll go for the file play into the miltank and we'll go for Go for the max wormwind. I think into the chan Just a lot of the attack a little bit more You know when I'm making plays like this with Doraladon as well And I'm kind of continuously going for the steel spike There's always the the little Niggle in the back of my mind that I want to play body press on Doraladon and it's definitely an option I think If you're constantly seeing yourself more and more going for Um the steel spikes more often than not in battles then You know, it's something worth considering for sure. So we do get the uh The attack drop here, which is going to be helpful, especially when we are already plus two defense And we know we're faster than the um the chan as well with Doraladon, which is nice We don't need to consider T wave. They do get the attack boost But I mean behind reflect at this point like not a lot has really taken us down And there's another tickle oh, I hold power from the the miltank here as we'll get the file play And with the attack boost now really useful. They're not enough to take it down But we'll be able to get at the next turn for sure. Um I think a drako will probably get Uh The chan and another file play will get the nurse So we will just go for the drako and the file play and it should remove both from the field here. Um Yeah, and I don't really it's the first time i'm seeing a A max hitmon chan other than in uh red then okay, so alexa i'm gonna hit the field We'll get the drako it does pick up the knockout It's fine even with the miltank coming in like a dog pulse is going to be enough to get it probably our flash can in I would imagine even though we are minus two Uh file play into zam here going to do decent chunk of damage Of course we are star boosted Actually enough I didn't think it would take it down, but there alone. Behold we uh, we do managed to get the zam which is good. So Um, just a little little miltank little little nursey left. I feel kind of bad now But it's all it's all in good fun. Isn't it? It's all in good fun And we got to see a miltank. So that is the main thing Um, but I mean we haven't even had to switch here, which is good So it shows like how good this lead is and I know from like you'll know Playing previous formats in the sword and shield series you're going to know this this pairing is very strong Um, but I think Duraladon something a lot players should look at at least going into series six I think it's a very good pick. Um, very strong, especially with the stalwart Get around ally switch get around redirection. Um, and it makes it A big big threat really so we'll jump into our next one We jump into our next one It's going to be weird throwing up the rental team at the end because it's like I had to pre-record it Because it's on a different switch. So I can't actually do it on this. So it's going to just be voice of us Anyway, we've got our next opponent series six team. Very nice. Okay. We got comfy. We got urshafoo, riperia Another Duraladon Toxterity and gastrodon. Okay Well, well, well, well, well, what are we going to do here? I think grim snarl again, it's going to be very good just for the screen support alone. I don't know Duraladon's I mean Duraladon's not bad here. We do Have to worry a little bit about the opposing urshafoo for sure. Um Maybe we got on urshafoo Like they've got a good way to set trick room up as well, which is like a little bit worrying We've got to be worried about that for sure. I think we do bring Mungus here and then maybe Duraladon in the back um Or primarina Even if the trick rooms up now, I think we go. I think we'll go Duraladon Yeah, we'll go with that. Um Yeah, so I think if they lead comfy like riperia, I think we've got to make Like a play to get a mungus onto the field as soon as possible so we can shut down that riperia Because if you look at the face value of this, they're gonna try and get The right period in trick room Like they've got then the priority giga drain to proc the weakness policy on right period and get it set up So that's definitely a mode there Um other modes of the team. I think you've probably got snarl toxicity. It could be spec So we have to be a little bit careful for that Urshafoo's probably sashed I think um, but other than the trick room not got too many um modes of speed control So we don't need to be too worried about it too worried Now let's see what my opponent brings Nice turtle neck there. Okay, Urshafoo and toxicity We'll go Urshafoo and Grim snarl Okay So the thing is like we can throw up a screen but it's not really going to help us against the opposing urshafoo And what is that urshafoo? Is that the dark one? I think it is. Let's have a quick gander It is okay. We're getting them right. We're getting it right this time. So we can thunder wave And go for maybe a u turns better honestly Uh, just so our sash doesn't get broken right now. Um, that would like I kind of prefer that We'll get some good damage onto it. We could close combat, but it probably is sashed. Uh, that's my only that's my only worry Um, yeah, we'll go for the u turn into it Worst case scenario here is okay Oh, it's actually dark, isn't it? So we can't we can't do that. We can't do that. What are we doing? What are we doing? Okay We're being fools. We're being actually fools. I had to get a moongus in now. I can't believe I've just done that Okay Protip protip for you or protip fam. Um, don't don't prankster into darker urshafoo Remember remember don't do what I've been doing Oh my gosh iron head not good overdrive. We're gonna lose grim snow straight away. We're getting absolutely bodied from just being Not so smart. That's so smart. Um, okay. Well, we'll bring urshafoo back in I'm really sad that we've lost we've lost that That urshafoo already. I think we can probably get away with going for less. It was a speed tie We'll go for a close combat there. We know the sash is potentially broken. We'll go for a spoil into good old toxicity here um Because we can't range part of the overdrive Just got to hope that we either win the speed tie or it's not a speed tie and we get the close combat into urshafoo They probably suspect us to be scoffed here. Maybe Isn't ideal. Uh, they've got to worry about yeah, then withdrawing Yeah, that's what I'm I mean, I don't mind this too. Okay Okay Okay, well well well well depending on how much we do with the close combat. We can maybe go a wicked blow into Ah, they're gonna well they can't set up the terrain really unless no, it's not g max So they can set the terrain up. That's probably what they're going for here. That's that angle. I think Huh Get a close combat. It's gonna do that. Wow. Okay. That does some fat damage to crit Yeah, okay Um Max lightning. Yeah, and that'll take us down to our sash It's fine stops us putting stuff to sleep, which is a little bit Which isn't ideal, but they have to go for that with a moonga sat on the field, which is fine. Um Yeah, we just waste a turn there Okay But we can go for a wicked blow. Um, actually no, we'll go for a u-turn into gastrodon The worry here is if it if it protects, um, and I think what we'll do is The only problem is right now Is that they're going to probably go sludge bomb boost special attack, I think Which we could then potentially switch into doraladon and predict the sludge bomb into a moonga And hope that's what they go for It makes sense to right Yeah, there's a protect. Okay, unless they're going into urshifu here then Maybe it'll be bad But of course, yeah, we've got the ability to go through protect Of course for getting urshifu's ability over and over again And everything to do with urshifu, but we'll get the moongas back on the field. We've got uh, our health back with the regenerator and Uh, like I say kind of hoping for the sludge bomb or the max ooze into doraladon That's what we kind of want to see here Max strike, huh? Yeah, wow that there's so much damage Man, we're so best Okay critical hit Not ideal But I mean we're still not in the worst position because even when the the urshifu comes back onto the field, right? We've got doraladon We've got rage proud of support next to it. So we're kind of okay The other doraladon coming in and it's not the worst thing in the world. We'll rage powder And I think we've got max Probably We could got max lightning. I think it might be better to go darkness though in all honesty um just to get the The special defense drop so we can get like something like toxicity the next turn potentially Um, yeah, we'll go into doraladon See what they're going to chuck out here if it's going to be something like uh Draco meteor Yeah, I think like we're definitely going to see the max ooze I would imagine They may go max strike again, but max ooze makes more sense to boost the doraladon oof Yeah, and we can't get around the stalwart. That's the one issue Max darkness. Okay We really need to be taking this doraladon down this next turn. That's the thing I don't know if the darkness will be enough Maybe maybe I don't know Maybe not Still think we could probably do this with urshifu to be honest Because we haven't seen them kind of boosting their attack. So let's go gear drain into this one Uh, hmm Okay, I it's likely we're gonna lose it's likely we're gonna lose doraladon here. Um in all honesty Because they just got overdrive We have to go gear drain. I think And just go worm went as well. Uh, let's go into toxicity The online is too of course, but Okay, they're gonna steal beam Huh, okay. Yeah, that pretty much ends the game for us here They do lose doraladon unless we can take an overdrive here. I don't know if we'll be able to Um It's gonna be tough No, not with the terrain up not with the terrain up. Hmm I think we've just been absolutely bodied by toxicity But it's that turn one, isn't it the turn one really let us down a little bit like losing our uh the ability to uh To make any use out of grim snow We would have been better going for a screen at that point and then losing it from there, but I mean We're kind of done now They're probably gonna suck a punch I don't think a sucker punch from us is going to be enough to get the toxicity if it is Ideal if it's not going to be is it? I don't think sucker punch will get it Because we have to get the faster sucker punch. Yeah, and they've got it So we speed tied this whole time and we just won early on very good game to my opponent Very sad very sad that we've messed that up but It happens sometimes can't just have these We can't win all the time even though we should be And I could just drop this and not put it up on the channel, but I'm not gonna do that I'm not gonna do that. Um, we're gonna Just stick with it because I think It's a good lesson to make sure you're being mindful of these potential pokemon that are Amused to prank so you should know this by now, but obviously I'm being a good citizen and being an example for you And that's the whole reason why it was in this video purposely purposefully It's not really I'm only joking But now okay guys, thanks so much for tuning in We're gonna hop over to the rental team now that that we're gonna put up for the doralea on team So um, you'll see it on the screen right now There is the code So I hope you have a little bit of fun with it. I hope it's I like it. It's just it's a team there to try out. I think for going into series six An interesting one you can chop and change things around with it You can maybe drop arcanine in for the rotom heat. That's a nice option And the rotom heat just gives you that nice ground immunity that you don't otherwise have So there's lots of modes within the team Um, and obviously all based around grim snow doralea don is your main course So hopefully you enjoy it guys. Thank you so much for tuning in now I hope you've enjoyed today's episode. It's been a fun one Do stick around for tomorrow's episode with all those poker pastes in and I'll enjoy Waiting for that if that makes sense if that makes sense But thanks again friends do drop a like on the video and I'll see you all for the next one So until then take care of yourselves and bye. Bye
