 Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our Road to Ranked roulette series, my name is Lee also known as Osiris and today we're going to continue on with this team that the roulette threw out for us yesterday. If you missed yesterday's episode we'd like to go back and check out the first couple of games with this team, I'll link a card up there for you to go and check that out. Before coming into today's episode obviously just to recap the team for you, so we've got the Feraligator, the Giratina, Infernape, Dialga, Tapa Coco and the Mega Galead. The team is down in the description below as always and there is a roll pace, a poker pace, check it out, try it out if you'd like to but without further ado I guess we'll just jump straight into today's episode because we had some really good games yesterday, very close in our second one, had a really good game to kick us off so I'm hoping we can continue that momentum going forward today. It's a really weird and unique team, we didn't really get to feature the Feraligator yesterday so I'm hoping we get to feature that today, hopefully we can feature the Mega Galead but like that, like magic we've got Benji from Australia as our first opponent and as always guys if you do enjoy this content do make sure to leave a like on the video do subscribe to the channel for more Pokemon content and leave your comments down below let me know what your thoughts are on the team composition what your ideas would be to change things up maybe going forward and anything to do with the roulette itself so let's get into team preview and see how we can prepare for this one. So Benji our first opponent is running a team of a Veltal Incineroar, the Kyogre, Tepkoko, Aziza and Amunga so quite a nice looking team you've got the Veltal Kyogre combination there so probably more reliant on Tailwind rather than the Trick Room variants that you may see were tagged in on these sort of teams with something like Stakatec or Bronzong you've got the, Aziza is probably gonna be the Mega of the team you're gonna have Intimidate support from the Incineroar, Fakeout support there to help set up some sort of Tailwind and then the Amungas to disrupt with redirection and a spore and things like that so Tepkoko for us is a good lead because it does put a lot of pressure on to both Restricted Pokemon that my opponent's got in the Veltal and the Kyogre. In Infernape obviously a faster Fakeout user than the Incineroar so it's valuable to bring there and I think I'll bring Giratina because it's just a decent Pokemon against things like Cizzor and Kyogre as a switching but then probably the I'll get a bit better and then we're gonna bring we're gonna bring Feralegator I guess because we've run out of time because we chatting too much in team preview so there you go if you're in an event don't chat too much just pay attention don't fall into my trap but hmm I'm kind of happy with the the selection that we brought and at least we bring Feralegator as well especially with the Rainer if you can get it into a decent position it's gonna be hitting very hard sheer force with the life hold and liquidation is gonna be killing a lot of different stuff so I'm gonna seed in the Lucisa and the Illyvercal come out for my opponent first I wonder if it's a Saltfest Ivelto let's have a look at the comp like a good way to try and determine whether Z move it be is look at the the makeup of the team I'd say it's probably on this team more likely it's on the top of Coco than anything else so I'm quite happy going for that Z Wild Charge into the Ivelto which should get it and then just go for the fake out into the scissor just to stop it doing much this turn so we'll go for that see if we can pick up the knockout but gonna see the Ivelto switch out and when we set the field so it's still gonna take a lot of damage regardless here and the scissor is revealing that it is mega scissor they are preventing from attacking this turn and I think there's more evidence as well to show that the Ivelto is probably a Saltfest switching out that first turn if it had access to protect it probably we just sit on the field and protect we are wasting as a move which is a bit unfortunate but at the same time any damage onto the moon this is going to be quite useful and this should be decent damage it's not bad not bad problem is here I can't really commit to a flare bit because I feel like the Kyogre will come in and that's a big big problem for us kind of tempted to Wild Charge the Amungus again thinking that the Kyogre comes in on that slot and flare blitz this is a because if the Kyogre does come in it's good totally backfire by the way but if it is the Kyogre and we do pick up the knockout yeah okay with Tabukoko with the Wild Charge here which we might be able to do then we haven't been intimidated with Koko that's a big big plus for us then the flare blitz from Aaron Furnip will be able to take down the scissor like I say it's a huge risky player a massive risky player you know but it looks like it's actually gonna pay off for us so that we do pick the Wild Charge this is why like physical or mixed Koko is just so strong it's got that ability to just cut through teams and we are gonna get the flare blitz off before this is I can do anything and now I don't really feel like my opponent's got too many options left they've got the Avelta which we probably know is a Solfest we've got the Amungus coming in which is gonna go down to a flare blitz from Aaron Furnip and we these two between them have kind of just picked apart these teams now we do get pretty lucky with a prediction that we make obviously you know it could have went super wrong there but it went super right so we can't really complain too much about it and this is this is one of the things about vessel one you've got to try and translate these things into a vessel three for sure and are we better off hmm the rage powder I mean I'm just gonna protect Koko here and just go for the flare blitz into the Amungus I'm thinking that the flare blitz will be enough to get the Amungus just okay my opponent forfeit so very good game to my opponent but I'll pick up a nice win the only reason I protect Koko there is because the rage powder we're not really gonna do much and then we don't Koko taking any of this damage although we're pretty fine in that situation aren't we so we are two and one with the team so that is great news for us so things are looking up in the team doing alright and we did bring for alligator there didn't get featured so hopefully this next match we can bring it and the mega-gallade and we can have some action from both of those before we get into tomorrow's episode but the team doing alright at the minute it's not going to music what are you gonna go for let's go something really random that we never have teams girl boss let's do that let the teams girl music we hardly ever have it on here so we're looking with that hopefully it doesn't take too long to find an ex-opponent if it does I'm just gonna cut it right here and we'll come right back to when we do find and oh like magic from Japan got an ex opponent looks like a rock star playing I believe this is Graham's team I believe it might be might be the qr code team but we'll get into it right now so our next opponent is running the Medichamp the Kyoga type of Koko tapu lele Lunala and Nia Ligo so what are we gonna watch out for here definitely the Mega Medichamp and the Lunala lead because that is a solid lead for my opponent to get set up set the tailwind up get the Kyoga in a really nice position to start doing a lot of damage there in this game and if we can deal with the Medichamp the Algar does amazing against pretty much most of these Pokemon probably excluding the Lunala that we need to they need to watch out for so I do want to lead with Giratina for sure because we can't be faked out we can match the tailwind as well which is always good Mega Medichamp I'm pretty sure goes to 110 speed doesn't it so we'll add speed in Furnip could we bait them into faking something out unnecessarily so we can get a tailwind set up hmm let's go on Furnip because I think in Furnip will be useful here anyway oh actually let's go Galead let's go for Alligator and let's go Diago yeah it's locking my thinking is to switch out Galead turn one into for Alligator so we've got that crunch the next turn into Lunala might work we've got to work around it it's a very strong team there's the there's the famous lead infamous lead here we go so would you be tempted though to just go for the knockout straight into Lunala I don't know I don't know would you but I'm gonna go for the tailwind regardless and don't make it revolve and just go for a knockoff into Lunala I think I'm kind of tempted just to do that to be honest yeah we'll do that because if they do just attack into the Giratina here then we get we'll break the Shadow Shield and then the next time we can pick up the knockout there we're really worried about the Medichamp picking up a knockout onto Galead it shouldn't be able to we can do a lot of damage for sure so we're gonna see a mega Medichamp evolve and there's Galead mega revolving I'm unlikely just to see a fake out into the Galead though I imagine Galead such a cool Pokemon it's got like a like a fixed cape to it hasn't it there's a fake out yeah but we can't be faked out and we're gonna see a z move I'm gonna lose Giratina here but it means they're not gonna be able to get there their tail wind up let's be control which is so important for this team I think so since the Giratina so definitely take us down about a hundred times over unfortunately a stupidly strong team but like I say they don't have access to that now this is where Tapakoko would have been really really good I'm gonna bring in for alligator though because I'm gonna try and dragon dance do I go for the knockoff into the Lunala again they know it's there that's the thing because we could potentially just go for a Zen headbutt into the Medichamp but I really don't want to leave the Lunala unchecked so I'm gonna try and try and go for that knockoff there because it's likely gonna try and get this Kyogre set up I think that's like a big goal for this team in general if you get the Kyogre and a tailwind it's very difficult to deal with as we know so if we can just check the Lunala anything coming in as well it's gonna take knockoff damage so I don't mind if it's an Eili go it potentially loses its item Kyogre will take chip from it so I don't mind and yeah the Lunala gonna switch out save itself for late game Kyogre gonna come in okay well I really don't mind this because if we do lose Gilead here then we're gonna dragon dance up for free and for alligator it becomes very dangerous and then we've got that I'll get to bring in as well because for alligator I'll be able to check that Medichamp from this next turn okay so yeah gonna get that and it's high jump kick where you going should take it oh we don't take it oh come on that's okay I thought for alligator would take that you know it's huge power though I guess it's why Medichamp so strong okay now things get pretty tough for us because I don't think we can actually kill Medichamp without mega Gilead and go for thunder there go for his head but it's the only thing we probably the best thing to do because of the flinch chance and then hope that a high jump kick misses that's the orange eat it in our hands isn't it hmm if we just protected for alligator they maybe thought a bit more about it and targeted the Medichamp known that the Lunal is gonna switch up but there was reason to target into that slot anyway because of the threat of the tailwind that we know is coming out there Kyogre gonna protect yeah we need a high jump kick to miss here we really do oh we need this to pick up the knockout that you doubt it's gonna oh flinch oh we get the flinch we got the flinch okay we're in back in business we're back in business okay we'll go for that thunder once again go for the Zen headbutt it's nowhere near like okay a bullet punch it's fine Kyogre the Kyogre allowed speeder dial go which is the problem I think like we need dial go to hit first that's the big thing yeah miss miss miss miss we needed to miss I was never gonna miss I mean we'll be able to even up well we're not even up where we're just kind of pulling things back here the thing the problem is being locked into thunder it's not really ideal against oh wow doesn't even take it down the Kyogre as a beast man that's specs thunder as well okay tap a cocoa this is where you really wish we had yep earth power something like that I don't think we can we can be three Pokemon I'll target the tap a cocoa with a thunder we'll see how much that does in a terrain with a specs but I feel like oh we might be losing this one the Kyogre gonna protect you it's just madness makes a lot of sense can we get it in two hits we're not even gonna be able to do that now no no no that's a shame that is a shame there's another nature's madness coming out and an origin pulse will be able to pick up there oh well they're not even going that ice beam and this should be the trick it will just too strong and I think a bit of an oversight for myself with the Medichamp play if we went for that as in a headbutt the term where the Lunala switched out and protected for alligator their Medichamp's gone then and that issue is removed from the field it does become a bit harder because then we still have to have cocoa to deal with and for alligators really vulnerable and so is delayed in that situation so it wouldn't have been straightforward by any means but yeah anyway we've got we're only 17 minutes in so we can we can actually whack out another game so we'll hop straight on and this is good because we've got a buttons to activate tomorrow so we might end up switching the team up a little bit but in the meantime let's pick some music let's go recon squad if we can get to it now they're gonna be team skullboss once again ah you locked us in but we've got our first next opponent pretty quick so top-entity premium right we've got Dawn wings and cross my Megalowpony I'm presuming Megalowpony Incinero Groudon Amungus and Mercroy this looks a lot like David David's team they won the chef the Bristol regional Sheffield where's that come from Bristol regional recently with the alternate cross my Megalowpony the Mercroy as well I think there's some difference here because I'm pretty sure that David had tap cocoa in these team I'm not too sure anyway and yeah the restricted pairing there the alternate cross my Groudon Groudon is gonna be difficult to deal with I think we'll have to heavily rely on Giratina to help us there I'm gonna bring Megalod though we can't be faked out of course so that's always helpful always helpful it helps us against the Amungus as well which is nice definitely want to bring Giratina but Giratina does have its drawbacks I wonder if we could get away with because we need Giratina I think to deal with the Groudon for sure what are we doing yeah what are we doing can we bring Giratina up front maybe yeah then Dialga and let's go for alligator as well oh so we'll bring the new members let's see if we can do it in this one there's gonna be a really tricky game it's like the complete opposite of a opening game yesterday where we had such a good matchup and it's not looking so good right now but that it's alright I think delving into the team as well to start with gives us ideas what with what we can maybe do to change up the team as the week progresses which is quite nice so we're gonna see the Necrosma and the Lorepony come up my opponent okay so let's mega evolve and go for a knockoff into the Necrosma do we switch out Giratina because I don't think we're good well yeah the Amungus beam is gonna do a ton of damage to us regardless so I think we're probably better off just protecting here I don't think a photon guys will take down the lead I'm really hoping it doesn't and the Lorepony can still fake out the Giratina which probably wants to go for here with its scrappy ability once it mega evolves doesn't look like it is mega evolving now oh there we go it's weird that a mega evolves after us kind of indicating that it is slower than our Galeid which is interesting which means we can snipe it with a cross combat potentially haha there it is yeah I'll try the Cosma you can see already so might protect I wonder how much knockoff does to it okay so we just protect Giratina this first turn there's a fake out yeah into that slot and yep we get the knockoff so just some decent damage there I mean the guys beam out into our Galeid which this will pick up the knockoff unfortunately interesting though that Galeid was actually faster than the and then across my hmm can we get for alligator in and try and drag and dance probably our only way around this now is to go full the dragon dance and go for a switch into Dialga because we're gonna be targeted down with the moon guys beam into the Giratina slot 100% Dialga can come in and take that if we can get a dragon dance off for alligator in a decent position the next turn to actually target down the necrosal or at least check it it's going after you okay that's fine it's going for a z move kind of indicates that you're not going into the Giratina because you would just target the Giratina with the moon guys beam I'm gonna have to cut this though so we'll be back now the spirit bomb is into Dialga so we should be able to take this pretty comfortably yep I mean taking it as well as any Pokemon for that z move and for alligator getting boosted up and be able to do some good work now and right I think we have to target down the lawpony with liquidation and then we go for what do we lock into the earth power get the necrosmite just don't think it will I'm gonna go dragon pulse into that slot because groudon could come in okay this should pick up the knockout yep and I'm gonna see photon geyser maybe yeah into for alligator which we should be able to take just scared of the protector yeah for alligator taking that like a champ the dragon pulse now we'll be able to pick up the knockout there which is great so we get rid of those two threats now we've got groudon and potentially incineroar to deal with which kind of makes for alligator a little bit useless but we do have Garatina in the back there's the incineroar and in comes the groudon like we expected yeah 100% hmm I'm gonna get intimidated which removes that boost to for alligator this is where earthquake would have been very good on for alligator and it was something to cross my mind when I was putting the set together I did think earthquake could be really useful but then for the discrepancies in the team against things that we have issues with like lunala like mega gango and things like that I felt like the crunch would be maybe a little bit better we'll protect and we will just switch in guiratina here I think the worst thing it could happen for us now would be eruption groudon because anything else it's not really affecting the routine too much we're gonna see a fake out for sure we've got to be careful around this but we're just gonna see a precipice blades and what we're gonna see and dog is like it yeah scouting that switch I think that's the thing okay I can guarantee hmm this is very very tricky because it could potentially get a tail wind up here but we then definitely lose guiratina and a crunch is not gonna be doing very much to the groudon and it's a tail wind really gonna be better probably the best thing that we can do I think to give the algorithm as good a chance as possible and hopefully the crunch does some damage to this crowd on here I don't think it's gonna be in is it miss miss the pariah I get there that would be ideal but unfortunately not and we're gonna go down to docker's lyre it after our tail wind it's all about whether or not dial guy can come in and pick up the knockout with your phone to groudon but the flablets from the incinerator still gonna do a ton of damage and groudon has protect this is the thing groudon has protect and it can protect and this is where I feel like I'm a bit torn do a target down the incineral where we can definitely pick up a two-hit kill there but we leave the ground on and check and if we do the precipice blades and knocks us out I'm gonna have to go the ground on route it might protect if it does then I think yeah yeah the obvious protect but it's when you don't click into it and then you look real dumb for not doing it and your opponent just picks you off with the precipice blades and you're like okay but I think at this point it's too far gone anyway we need to get the ground on there and then this next turn we'll be relying on getting the incineral I think one of the things we could potentially do is hope that we can get the incineral with an earth power from this range and hope that my opponent goes precipice blades with groudon and it misses that's the best we can help for I think there's a lot of hope here so we get it okay we've got a hope for the precipice blades in the miss but no they go eruption anyway so just to see a lot seal it up seal the deal would have been better gone for the incineral the previous turn but like I say you're kind of in that position where you don't want to really over commit to that slot because you do that and then you know every time you would attack into the incineral the ground on one protect that 50-50 that you always gonna get wrong sometimes get right but never mind we've got three games out of it today though guys I hope you enjoyed all of them we'll be back tomorrow obviously we can activate those bonus buttons tomorrow you've got a switch up randomizer and a legend maker so if you'd like to see one of those buttons activated and we've got a patreon button as well do let me know down in the comment section below and we will make sure to activate one of those tomorrow but stay tuned because we'll be back with more action from this team and I feel like we're on the cusp of getting it right with the team and if you've got any suggestion for how we want to change things up do let me know sets and other things but in general I'm having a lot of fun with this team this week and I hope you guys are enjoying it so till next time guys take care of yourselves have a great day and I'll see you then so until then bye bye
