 We're live There we go Good evening everyone Welcome to tonight's stream nice to be back on YouTube after all this time a Long time since you streamed over here, but we are streaming here tonight. It's gonna be fun We are gonna be playing the tournament as well Obviously our weekly that we threw up series 10 weeklies we got going on every week So there'll be another one next Friday the same time But tonight's one here it is we got 410 entries which is just insane so a massive shout out to everyone. It's and it's tonight I hope you have a great time It's a bit of fun at the end of the day It is a good bit of practice before the official rules kick in on the 1st of August But it's gonna be a lot of fun nonetheless, so I've got a team lined up for tonight Hopefully it does well. It was just a couple ideas. I was playing around with it's nothing exciting exciting But there's some differences in the build. Hi dragon is gonna be the big one and Johnny How are you doing me? Don't mind a bit of scout never mind a bit of scouting especially from you mate or anyone else but I hope you're doing well man and Enjoying up Friday evening. Are you playing? So Lazi, how are you doing? William? How are you? Here's the team that we're playing tonight Obviously hit my top as well, but I hit my top kind of provides a similar role to Mian Chow It's just sloire but has intimidate and then taboo Finney. It's been working pretty well. So I'm I'm I'm pretty Pretty looking forward to getting in with this team if that makes sense And the hydra again has been really good in practicing So hopefully it pays off tonight. I'm obviously got the grassy seed on Volcarona and then the rest all makes sense because it's all pretty standard. So and Yeah, William which Pokemon team are you using your match? So this one is the one that we'll be locking in with tonight. I really like taboo Finney as well in this format Malix, how are you doing? Thanks for hoping in thanks to everyone as well top and enjoying the stream tonight If you are playing obviously be nice if we bump into each other We're limited to 15 games. It's just how these go for the time restraints and stuff like that But hopefully I get to play some of you if not Then I hopefully you just enjoy the stream in the team And I'll pop the rental of this team up at the end of the stream if anyone wants to take it away and have a go with it But we've got our man Costa up first. Here we go. So this is gonna be good So Costa playing Kyoga Tornades Shinninga excellent Shinninga. So we're gonna have to rely on Volcarona to deal with that Incinero and Reggie Alecki and Right pretty standard kind of auger team that we're seeing at the minute. I Hate Shinninga already. I haven't I haven't even played one in series 10 and I'm like, oh, why Costa why are you doing this to us speed control? We got Tornades. We got Reggie Alecki But I fake out users aren't generally gonna be that great Okay, how are we gonna lead this because this is quite tricky for us to be honest and I Mean booms always gonna be a good lead. I think regardless We could bring something like Hydraigan and it helps us against the shin injure as well Volcarona then isn't massively necessary I Think we'll go Hydraigan Actually, no, no, no, no. I think we go Zashin Go Finney and then we go Hydraigan. Yeah, we're locking with that. We'll see if we go I don't feel super confident about this first one tonight, but Let's see. Let's see how we get on Let's change this track. I've got this playlist on pretzel rocks and That track comes on every time and I'm like, why have I got that still on the playlist? Hopefully the levels and everything are all right for everyone as well Serena Tornades Yeah Okay, well, this isn't the worst I mean the one thing that we've got gone for us is it Costa doesn't have and they do have intimate Don't they Costa do Peter how you doing? Hope you're well tixic anubis. How you doing first time catching a stream Thanks for the content you make. Thank you so much for coming by the stream and I hope we enjoy tonight's stream I really appreciate each and every one of you for being here and all the support I get on the channel Okay, well, we're gonna say probably tailwind you turn. I you imagine Or are they just gonna switch in Olga I mean they have to get the tail wind up really because we could potentially just double in to the tornado Let's get rid of that tailwind and then kind of stall it out from there. It's an option I Do want to go after the tornadoes if I'm if I'm like completely honest I mean we've got an opportunity where we could sub as well, but I think I'm gonna double in on torn and get rid of it Yeah, we'll probably see a u-turn I'd imagine from the Surina Yep, and then the Olga gonna come in. Well, that's kind of fine Plus one incineroar. I am good. How are you doing? Peter, thank you so much really appreciate that Okay, let's see. I'd like to stack up a few wins tonight. It'd be good if we could knock off rillaboom spicy No, I don't like horses definitely don't like horses not with this team This this Zashin's pretty bulky as well. I don't mind the the incineroar kind of coming in there If I'm completely honest gives us the opportunity to just pivot out with boom We do take a bit of unnecessary damage course, but Yeah That's kind of it's all right. It's all right now. Who are we gonna bring in? Maybe high dragon here isn't bad, you know I think I dragon can do a bit of work for us At least you've got a way to kind of saw like the the tailwind as well, and I think what we'll do So protect high dragon and then we'll small pull a switch and get Finney in and then we'll try and get a calm mind up. I don't know if it's actually worth getting a calm mind up Right now. I think it's probably worth Just getting rid of the tornadoes because if we calm mind We're putting ourselves in that awkward position where they can just taunt us and that's not not ideal at least getting zashin off the field Right now as well is it's just gonna reset that that intimidate drop DK trade and thank you so much. Are you how many of you were playing in the tournament tonight? I'm any of you playing we had like 410 entries just before I logged in and so that was that was pretty insane Which is really cool Are we gonna just see the parting shot out on the incinero on the finny? I think that's what we'll probably see But this is all right I mean the tornadoes off the field right now is fine because we want to stall out these We want to stall out the air the tailwind turns, right? Oh That's beautiful. That is that is that is magic magical and Because we could drop a drake all we could throw a joy here and drop a drake on that Serena and go Hmm See in see gonna in the in see probably well depends how fast he runs these in see if it's kind of standard It's gonna it's gonna add speed high dragon And then it's not really worth our while and they've also potentially got high jump kick as well Which will not be good for high dragon I don't really want to lose high dragon either this early on in the battle Let's go into Rilla here, and let's just protect Samuel L. Thank you so much for the subscribe and Johnny you're playing I'll finish the battle then I'll start Finish this battle. Okay. Cool, man Samuel L. Hello new to VGC. So hope and learn all I can hopefully I can help help you in any way but great to hear that you're getting into VG and Hopefully you're enjoying it. It's a good time to come in. I think They're going triple axel is it gonna hit all three times That's not ideal. I mean if they parting shot here We've kind of denied it again, which is good for us because then we can get the the zashing in is really unfortunate We've lost boom though Like I'm really unfortunate and they got one turn a tailwind left. Okay They're gonna have to try and get tornadoes out on the field Now but I think we go after the Serena Do we just pull in hmm He's just gonna predict this though. This is the thing. I think he predicts it So I think he goes parting shot out on zashing We may not I think he parting shots out on Finney to be honest We could take this opportunity to to to get a sub up Now I don't think we sub I think we just pull to high dragon Because I think Finney now is our like our most important Pokemon now that we've just lost boom so recklessly as well That makes sense and the tornado is gonna come back in but if it does then we will be able to kind of get rid of it And that's the tailwind gone. So that gives us the speed advantage with zashing at least For the rest of this game. It looks a bit bleak right now, but we can still pull this back We can still do this. Okay, I got coming in. Okay, not wanting to bring that tornadoes and just lose it So a nice player there from Costa Toss a toast happy Friday. Thanks for joining the stream tonight with us Hope you're doing well as well my friend Let's see. That's that's that's that's good. That's good damage That's good damage parting shot in here comes the tornadoes to get that tailwind back up Okay, well We're still not on a terrible spot, I will say Because I think we sacred sword the Kyogre next turn in I Think we just actually I think we just double. I think we sacred sword How do we switch into Finney? No, no, no. Yeah, we switch to Finney we sacred sword Yeah, because they're gonna tailwind and they either switch out to Incinero here or they keep the Kyogre and in just origin pulse Lay you haven't said about more most important in and sweetly. What do we win? So the first place Whoever comes first this week does win a pre-order of is it shining shining diamond brilliant pearl Which ever way around it is I'm constantly getting it wrong Even after I looked at the graphics a bunch of times and Kyogre just protecting okay And we're just gonna see a hurricane Now there's a tailwind. Okay See we take I think we just I think we just go for the the sacred sword And I think we just go for muddy water here, you know There's a muddy water I'll get the tornadoes and potentially the chip and the sacred sword damage onto the yoga or get it and Like that covers the incinero coming in for the tornadoes, you know like this zashin's bulky So we're not really worried too much about what the yoga is gonna throw out at us right now anyway Yes, but the winner of tonight's friendly does win a copy of brilliant diamonds or shining pearl either one They get the choice and we will contact them in good time Obviously to arrange the pre-order get it all ordered booked and everything so when it comes out you get it on release day And but it's just a little thank you from from myself for supporting the tournaments and everything like that So We'll get that sacred sword Oh, that just gets it nice the yoga's down and now we're gonna say bye-bye Tap the finny. How could you do this to us? How could you do this? Brilliant diamond shining pearl pokemon trainer emerald. Thank you so much And luke davis youtube just told me on well luke. We are super grateful for having you here tonight I hope you enjoy it Right um That muddy water mess not ideal Um, okay So I think we just we just take it. We can't we can't we've got we've got to sack off. We've got to sack off a dragon here Finney's still in decent shape Especially with the rain up The worry is this arena So as long as we've got zashin like to kind of as an end game pokemon like we're gonna be we're gonna be all right um Hurricane yep And a parting shot here um Can we do this with just zashin though? I mean we right well The thing is now We need to get rid of the tornadoes like we need to get rid of the tornadoes like that is the big thorn on our side here For us like massively I'm kind of Not feeling like I really want to switch anything out here um I think what we'll do is we're gonna drake or Uh Minus one Dark pulse will it get it. I I'm not sure. Um And because we need to get the tornadoes we'll go for a moon blast That muddy water mess is brutal though. Where we going? Okay, can we take a power whip? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know It does connect probably not No, that's it. That's it. That's it. Good game cost that. Thank you tapu finny. I complain tapu finny Really too much But zashin's got a lot of work to do now and the tailwind pitters out and it's yeah I think the biggest problem for us here was not being able to stop that tailwind And we had an opportunity with the finny and maybe we should have you know with the rain up It was just tempting just to go muddy water though Maybe we should have just moon blasted there though Um And now the torn just goes just goes tailwind and That's us. I mean we could try A secret tool it's not gonna get No, because they're gonna taunt us. I think they taunt us now You turn Yeah, there's not really much we can do But if they taunt us, I mean we get the behemoth blade, but they probably survive it No, they just tailwind so they're gonna do this you turn And their secret sword would have been the better choice NG, how are you doing? I already forgot about series 10 because of unite. I know unite has been a lot of fun I haven't had much time to play it. I've put my obviously my code down here because I will be planning on streaming a lot of unite uh in the coming weeks so um unite I have been enjoying but um Yeah, I've just not had enough time to play it. I'm like so new to like mobas in general though I just found it like a completely different world to be like a part of you know, it's like it's It's so mad like just trying to learn like what different roles different pokemon have um and things like that We can protect because I don't know if incinero be able to out speed zashing again It depends what what its speed set is but of course the smart here switches is the incinero out to Um, it's arena so then you can switch incinero back in again Yeah, there we go Muddy water always misses johnny always misses I wish akrasu is raised. Yeah, I mean It's it's a pain really it's a pain We're just gonna forfeit because there's no win in this and we're just gonna drag it out Very good game costa nice to play to kick us off with tonight. Unfortunately. It was a loss for us um, but we're not gonna let that hamper our um Our mood we're gonna get into this tournament. We're gonna warm up into it And we're gonna we're gonna get these we're gonna get some w's tonight. It's gonna be good Nigel, how you doing? How many people signed up for tonight? Well before I don't know how many participating But we had 410 uh just before I hopped on um tonight So that is a crazy amount crazy amount people which um super grateful for We're in the dreaded 1400s, but we'll not be here for very long. I promise chat. We will not be here for very long Could run choice behind liquidate. Yeah Could try a whole team on the channel. Yes Bubbly we will definitely try a whole team for sure. Um, it's definitely one of the pokemon I really do enjoy playing with and I think it it's it's a great anti-meta pokemon I think there's some really interesting picks that you can play alongside it to get it Working super well. Okay. Right. We've got lele Whimsacott me and chow. We've got uh calorex Be fits gerald be a gerald. Thank you so much for the follow. I'm sorry. I bunch of usernames all the time So I have to have to apologize. Um And johnny got a go No, johnny's gotta win this weekly. Well gotta win Johnny, I hope we play I've got to stop reading chat and talk about the team that we're playing because otherwise, right Hydrage and good here except for the wimmy the lele which threatened us pretty hard with the tailwind as well with the Whimsacott. It's obviously that's probably something that they're going to utilize, of course. Um But what we can do is do this hitmon top and Zashin Hitmon top zashin Yeah hitmon top zashin rillaboom and Do we want hydra gonna do we want tapu finny? I think we want tapu finny, honestly Um, do we actually need rillaboom in this? I don't think we do. I think we need Tapu finny and I think we need hydra icon. Okay That is gonna be what we we do So Let's see how this works out against the horse team Okay, let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see 10 away from me 410 is insane number to have. Yeah That's I think it's more than last week's one. I'm pretty sure Okay, now where are you faking out? In shall Are you gonna fake out a top or you fake out zashin? I think I think you fake out zashin here. I think they do But we're gonna do this We're gonna suck a punch and we're gonna behemoth blade I think they well the only reason why you'd fake out top here Is if you were worried about the wide guard potentially, I think Perfect. That's perfect. Bye. Bye calorex. Hitman top the horse killer Oh, it's bulky. That is a fat horse. That is a very fat horse and now top's gone Poor top we've got an expert belt on it. It's Okay, that's a fat. That's a fat calorex now. We're in a bit of trouble This is where rillaboom would have come in quite handy. Um Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear But again, we're not It's not Yeah, it is. It's pretty bad because we need to Take down the mianxiao Are they gonna double into zashin here? They have to close combat the high dragon And the plus one I think we take an attack from calorex But then it leaves tap. Okay. Okay. I think we have to just sacrifice I think we just have to sacrifice zash zashin here to be honest Okay, they're gonna switch out Okay And then anti entire Okay, that switch is quite good for my opponent to be honest because now the thing is the Mianxiao like a checks high dragon, which is the awkward thing for us That behemoth blade. Wow. Okay. Well, we can just get rid of the anti next turn Red card. Okay. That's fine I kind of would prefer to have befini on the field Anyway, I think they close combat anti high dragon But we could take this opportunity to Yeah, we could take this opportunity to calm mind, but I think Hmm Do we just muddy water? No, no, no, no, no. I think what we'll do is Do we switch the zashin here? We could potentially I think they're gonna snarl though. I think they snarl And I think we just move last we just move last. I don't think we've got room to calm mind right this this moment I can't believe the calorex survived that Shiny hitman top is very nice that your favorite shiny. No, I don't know. I think I think my probably my My favorite shiny probably a zoomerall. I think Yeah, I'd say zoomerall for sure. Um Um Just that yellow the yellow pop on it is just so nice Yeah, they doubled up. Okay. No, that's fair enough. That's fair enough. We lose the zashin Um, and now we're in a bit of trouble Well, we are in deep deep trouble Not off to the best of starts friends Yeah, I was I kind of worried about that switching there because it's like you go close combat and then sacred fire Kind of covers the zashin switch, which is kind of obvious now Here's a bit Of a worry because if they wide guard here, which I don't think they will unless they predict the protect, which is pretty obvious from us Unless they just want Like once in the end show goes down Okay, no wide guard. So that's good That's fine like hydra again can kind of it depends if tabu lele's in the back though Okay, well we get the muddy water off which is good Don't get rid of the anti but It's not the worst. We do get the accuracy drop though, which is which is which is good Azumarel is very good shiny. Yeah, I do love it. I do love it. There's lots of nice ones like um I'm not massive fan like I do like some of the subtle shinies like some of them. You can't really tell like taranita Okay, this is This is actually all right because um It's not all right really. It's whether or not the tabu finny can take on um something like Because we can just muddy water here. I'm pretty sure that is What's the water that makes things a bit more tricky we have to draco meteor um I'm muddy water. Yeah Snarl here will be a little bit awkward for us to deal with Okay, we could have kind of done with that uh missing if this isn't sashed. I mean We've won this but if this is yeah, okay, that's Wow I can't believe how well urshifu actually takes that with how bad it's Special defense normally is All right. All right. All right Obstagoon Yeah, Obstagoon's a nice shiny It's life orb It's super chunky as well. Like this team's just defensively Chunky and there's no way that we can take anything from the calyrex now So, yeah, well good game to my opponent everything fat on this team The fat defenses have definitely Scuppered our plan I do like Xenia shiny. I do like um I love the primal shinies though, you know, like kaiyoga Groudon Rick Rick was a shiny Rick was as amazing as well We can moonblast we can moonblast and hope but it's not gonna it's not gonna help us It's not gonna help us at all The fat horse is is spoken Or Finney Yeah, Rilla would have been the way Rilla boom, I think would have given us way better options here with with just fake out and grassy glide the priority So never mind ah Yeah now now now i've just read that The misty terrain this is again why yeah the misty terrain is weakening our drake Oh, so that's why and we we would have got it without the misty terrain So That's our that's my my that's on my head my head. I can't believe I've just did that Anyway, good game to my opponent. We just threw that for no reason Right, we're gonna here we go reset button is hit. We've got ze up next playing uh lunala Serena darmanitan is that war total? It is yeah, okay. Okay, indeedy and pelliper right we cannot lose to this I'm making a vow now right this minute. We cannot lose to this darmanitan. What's your base be like 95? I think I think 95 Okay, hydra going to be like really good here um Okay, let's go Let's go top hydra again zashin and Do we want to bring boom or do we want to bring I think Pellip is a little bit awkward to deal with but I think Like it's obviously gonna have access to tailwind, but I see that No, I think we bring boom. I think we bring boom. I regret not bringing boom in that last game I have to bring it Forgetting about the misty terrain Completely in that one though. So yeah, I feel super dumb for doing that, but yeah Uh and thinking like I yeah, that I mean that would have 100 knocked it out if the terrain wasn't on the field Yeah This may be that bulky hoshifu that's been used now saw it on second place in the rose tournament I haven't actually checked out that team yet. I'm kind of interested in it But bulky hoshifu is always something that's interested me. I've always felt like a salt vest hoshifu Is definitely something that could probably do some work But I've never seen anyone run a salt vest on it. Um, I'd have to run the calcs Obviously, you're still gonna be like really really vulnerable to like some special attacks Um, but I think it definitely has It definitely could do some work for sure right we got serena and we got the dd Now what are we gonna see here? You turn I think we'll pull in zashin. I mean we could just pull in The boom as well Just to get rid of the terrain Hmm Yeah, I think we got for boom because I think we got dark pulse into serena if they then Go redirection at least we've got like grassy glide we can hit and get rid of like their terrain support And we can't if the serena's on the field Uh, let me I try a team on pokemon showdown. Um, yes I'll I'll grab you the paste after this after this. Um, this game Okay, so there's the protect on the dd you get the dark pulse into the serena. It's definitely a salt vest Going for a u-turn. Yep into high dragon. Yeah minus one will help out there though um I want to see this wall total though I imagine if this was still a dynamax format and we saw wall total go big that would be hilarious We're in a physical for lunala Okay, don't wanna turn coming in. I mean we still we we've got we've got fake out um I mean they probably Do we just drop the drako here or do we just dark pulse? I think we just dark pulse again into don't mind a time I think we're probably gonna see a follow me Just kind of don't mind Yeah That's all right So I think don't man a time either goes big boy flare blitz into The rillaboom all goes u-turn into high dragon. I think this next turn Ricky g157. Thank you so much for the follow and how are you doing matt? Thanks for joining us tonight. I hope you enjoy the stream And if you're playing in the tournament if any of you are playing in the tournament, I hope you do enjoy it tonight I hope you have a lot of good good fun playing good practice and um Are successful obviously as well. Um, I'm kind of scared of like Yeah, I think we have to we have to protect we have to protect our dragon here Just because there's no way for us to like reliably hit the door man a time in this situation And there's a good chance it goes u-turn this next turn And it could be scarfed as well, which worries me So didi just gone for a protect, which is I guess good in in one sense And we're just gonna see the big boy flare blitz. Hopefully we can take this Yeah, okay, we can Oh, we could have just went for an earth power there. Okay, so I think we just Um I think we fake out didi and just go for that earth power into the door man a time to be honest Because with didi just protecting there like we could play a bit passive and go fake out into the door man a time and go dog puss again, which you'll probably just get the indeedy, but um I don't know. It's probably a good a good idea to just get rid of this door man a time Where we can freeze up a really boom to do a bit more of a job later on Yeah, it's scarfed. Okay So top going down, which is which is fine. I'm fine with that That trade that trade for door man a time totally fine Daniel cases I don't know if even pronouncing that right Daniel, I'm sorry, but how are you doing? Hope you're well. Hope you enjoy the stream tonight And malchron. I once battled a citrus berry urge food I'll bring boo back in Citrus berry urge of food in series nine They also tried to skill swap regi gigas with renew list didn't work well for them. Thanks to taunt grim start Yeah, it's nice when you've got the tools to kind of shut that stuff down Those teams get set up. It's just a nightmare to deal with I think that's our man a time if it attacked into high dragon there. I think even though we resist it Probably would have been able to knock us out Okay, well This is all right because dd can't get the the follow me off now with a And they probably take do they take a life orb dark pulse from us They've probably got they could have They could have that. I'm sure lunala gets doesn't gleam. I'm pretty sure it does Yeah, okay. Well serena coming in. That's fine. We know the dom anatan had the scarf anyway And lunala just protecting all right, well There's definitely a play here where we could Uh, I do worry about trick room a little bit as well, you know on the lunala We could just knock off the lunala though and just protect high dragon this turn and let's see what they go for I'm good and eating that lunch time and chilling watching vg battle. Nice. That sounds perfect, dude. Yeah, I'm good man I'm good. It's still like It's like melting heat in the uk at the minute. It's a bit cooler today to be honest, but it's been so hot So not as melting tonight, but yeah trying trying to hang on Right we get the protect Let's see Moon guys beam we are sold vest. So unless they've like doubled into rilla, which isn't ideal Um Oh, but we have speed. So that's fine. And now okay. Well, yeah, that just deals with that Okay, well I do like shiny lunala as well talking about shinies And there's a triple axel. Okay And roan your hair is different today. Sorry for making an observation that others probably already have. It looks good. Thanks. Thanks, dude I appreciate that. It's probably because it's just I'm like just fresh out of the shower Like literally I went finish work went for a run Eight and then I'm sitting down to do this. So it might be why um Let's try and get this serena. It's gonna triple axel us, but I mean we got We've got zashing in the back if they redirect with the the dd now and they they don't they don't they want to try and preserve it So we know well the serena's gone now because boom out out speeds it And the u-turn should get it even though it's an absolute tank on the special side I don't think I'd be able to take this u-turn. Nope. And then zashing can come in So finally we're going to be able to get our first w of the evening, which is good Um, it's taken a while to get there, but it's been worth the wait And dj ma I haven't played any series 10 games until today for the most part I jumped right into the tourney with five minutes not as slow Needless to say it's not going so well. Just keep at it, man Just keep at it, you know, um, you just got yeah Fair play for just jumping in and playing I honestly I think like a lot of the time when you're going into a new format The best thing is just to dive in and just start playing Um, as long as you got like some teams and it get it starts to help you Like build up that knowledge base of the format like what other players are using what um Kind of common archetypes have been used what speed stats all that sort of stuff So yeah, I hope you enjoy it at the bottom line at the baseline of it And then we'll be doing another one next Friday So if you have some time to play in between then obviously then it'd be great to see you play next week And see if you can come back and crush it But you might and things might turn around for you. Very good game to our opponent there And straight into our next one Are you going to do a zamas enter team one of these days? I definitely will I know on series was a series eight We had restricteds last time we had restricteds Um, we had a lot of we had a lot of people asking for zamas enter So I did do zamas enter and I think it did like it ended up being like a week where we did maybe like At least two or three teams of zamas enter that week Which was I felt a bit overkill, but it was it was nice doing it It was it was good. I do like zamas enter as a pokemon. So we will we will definitely feature it Okay, we got another shadow rider calorax team This time in dd support. We've got sylvian regi alecky kangaskhan kangaskhan's interesting because of the the the scrappy Ability that allows you to fake our ghosts, which is nice for pausing Carracks Unless they got mind share next to them, which makes it a little bit more tricky because that speeds kang Um, okay. We'll go hit them on top sylvian's a bit of an issue definitely for I mean we could go top zash in Rilla I think that's who we go with this time Um, and I think volcarona. Maybe you know Yeah, I like volk here Do we go volk because if we can get an opening where we can get a quiver dance off then that that's huge for us Yeah, let's do that. Let's do that Will you be making a rental? Yes. I will uh, samuel definitely I said earlier on I'll throw the rental up after I finished playing tonight So before the stream finishes, I'll throw a rental up for this team So if anyone does want to try it out, then you got access to it and you can try it out from there William are you going to do is that how we've we yes we are and uh, nicolette, how are you doing? Greetings from italy. Yes. Oh, I wonder what's the weather like in italy today. How hot is how hot is it in italy? I would love to know Right, what are we gonna see here? Does the dd just go follow me if it does then we're in a little bit of trouble Because we can't just wide guard We can't just wide guard. I wonder if they've got size shock though, which is the the big problem They may go help in hand um Is it better just to wide guard here? Do they know about wide guard? I mean I think we just wide guard And I think we sub Let's see. Do we catch them? Do we catch them out with an astral brage or expanding force? They go for follow me. So it's it's probably good that we didn't go for the sucker punch Okay, that's good. We get the free sub now This might lock them, you know, this might force them to switch out the the coloraxe now Okay, that's good. Do they have a single target attack? That's a big thing, you know I think we just wide guard again Behemoth blade Because if they don't then they switch But if they do they go after the top now with something like size shock So there's a redirection Disable oh dear That's not ideal That's a really nice. That's a really nice option on on coloraxe though, right? Just because of its speed, you know Being able to just lock things out like that Is huge um Right. Well, we're gonna have to readjust a little bit, but it's kind of all right So I think what we'll do is we will switch in boom Get rid of this psychic terrain and we'll just protect Do we protect it? Yeah, we want to keep this sub if we can we definitely do And dk trading i'm liking the no g max. I got to put a team together and play next week. Awesome. Yeah, I love I think then like I was never like against dynamax. I actually enjoyed playing dynamax while we had it, but I think Going from a dynamax format into like a non-dynamax format has made me really realize How much I just prefer like normal pokemon without dynamax So I hope we don't go back um But I've got a feeling we probably will before we got into like diamond pearl territory And niggler, it's not very hot in italy if you walk around naked in the street with a bag full of ice on your head We could you could probably do that in the uk. Well, you wouldn't know you we I don't know if you'd get away with it But yeah Right now we've got a good opportunity to get rid of this calorex because we can go for the grassy glide And we should take an astral barrage as well and then we can just go for um Yeah, we have to just in case the the redirection and then behemoth blade Okay This is all right Zultas zultas is that how we're pronouncing it? I don't know. I'm sorry if I'm butchering it Uh, I couldn't play this tournament this time around. I'm sorry to hear that But hopefully thank you so much for hopping by the stream though. Uh, hopefully you can come by next week Like I say we'll be doing these every week. Um, we've got a bit more awareness about doing them now um, so yeah And if there are different times if later time would suit more people as well I'm super happy to like move times around to kind of Fit in with people because we can obviously put this back in our an hour earlier Um, depending on you know allowing some people to kind of get in on the action Boom can just take that And evan on showdown. I've seen some calorex shadow rider both carry astral barrage and shadow ball just to deal with wide guard Yeah, I kind of was tending to uh to run shadow ball on mine. Um And it did come in handy quite a few times Just in front of stuff that I think it's good to know I think in this format with some if you're running like spread attackers I think it's good just to have like a kind of mental note of like the pokemon that can get wide guard Like some of them you're not gonna really see. Um I don't know. What's the man time? I doubt we'll see much man time in this format But again, it is a pokemon that gets access to wide guard. So, um, don't ask why I know this But I could probably say it like there's so many of them in the format like that I could name Um, and it just makes it easier approaching those games where you're like you don't get caught out so much by them Okay, so what we do now it's perfect time to get vocal rona onto the field And take advantage of our terrain and we'll just go for a protect Because if mr. Kangus can't decide oh, okay, okay, so a very good game to our opponent I really wanted to see a little bit more of the kangus con. Okay. We're tying up with tutu now. That's good They were back on back on the the rod So let's see if we can get another victory in our next one That would be good to kind of push us a little bit further on Yeah, I like the side shock though. I think the side shocks a really nice option It gives you the uh a way to kind of hit on the defensive side of an opposing targets Um stats rather than always being on the special defensive side And it also gives you that. Um That single target attack as well, especially if the psychic terrains up, you know Um, it can be really really valuable in those situations. Okay. We got Xerneas and boongus regi alecki uh incinero volcarona and ladrus incarnate Okay Volcarona are going to be super super super important first in this one Zashiness as well of course um I only say volcarona. Well it's volcarona volcarona resist. We can quiver dance in front. Um What we're gonna see we're gonna see incinero uh zerneas I think we've got rell. Uh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Let's go that Let's go top volcarona zashia And then go boom boom there we go Bobby prefer no G max to but we'll miss some cool Pokemon in the new format yeah I think that's the thing like there's a lot of like the G max Pokemon that I do like and like I had a lot of fun with them obviously I'm playing in the draft league the X9 draft league at the minute as well which is like it's really nice actually going back to like a Dynamics format like once a week where I'm just like okay this is fun we can we can like totally have a good time playing this format but yeah it's like it's it's just not playing it constantly that I think is the nice thing I guess right well Lando I don't know if I want to keep Volcarona in here it's just whether or not the Incineroar decides to go I think we have to fake up the Lander it's just whether or not we switch into like Zash in here I just worry a little bit about maybe the Incineroar going like parting shot into a Volcarona but it's more likely that goes fake out just to kind of trade fake outs I would think I want top dog to be a thing top I yeah I hope so I don't know if it will be though like I just like the idea of him on top in this format because I think for a few reasons like it's got sucker punch which is really cool fake out wide guard so it's got lots of nice options it's got faint and things like that that's way better for us now now we can suck a punch and just go does the Lander is just I mean what we could do because the Lander is could potentially protect here right the Lander is definitely could protect we could just close combat into Incineroar because we're not intimidated right are we no we are intimidated that's not not ideal yeah my big fear is that the okay I think what we'll do what we will do is switch into Rilla and then we just protect we just protect I just worry about the Lander is incarnate protecting here and then a parting shot with the Incineroar onto as Ashen so at least by doing this we can then either pressure the Lander is the next turn with a grassy glide behemoth blade or we can fake out Incineroar sacred soul that slot or just set a substitute up which might be quite useful as well okay just a straight switch into a mungus if we see an earth power here that's that's ideal yeah okay that's fine because now we've got a pretty free fake out substitute play and they have to switch a mungus out to Incineroar right now to get any use of Intimidate if they leave the mungus in and attack Rilla boom and they're not gonna be able to intimidate us so yeah that works out pretty well mr. Mime gets white God and quick card yeah mr. Mime does yeah that's a good shout mr. Mime's an interesting Pokemon it's got a good space speed as well I'm pretty sure it's like base 100 right is it I want to say 100 I don't know and Salazzi do you think a salt vest Lucario would be fair against spectra I don't know I feel like Lucario is a little bit too frail to even like get this whole vest I mean you could go something like you probably better off with something like sash I think on Lucario but again it's like it's doing those calcs and seeing what kind of stacks up there right we have to be a little bit careful about the sludge bomb here of course do we switch into Volcarona now that's quite a sneaky player I think yeah and we just protect I think get Volcarona in and then we can protect and then we can get rid of that Amungus pretty easily I just hope we see an earth power here because I think the Amungus rage powders all day long but the other option what we could have maybe done was gone grassy glide and protected Zashian that was my initial thought but I worry about the lander is then going like sludge bomb so there's a rage powder if it was max special defense maybe Luigi how are you doing mate I hope you're well we're on we are on YouTube today we are rockin YouTube streams right this is a little bit better we still have to be careful around the lander is because it can still really do a lot of damage and but do we take the opportunity to now I think we have to heat wave and I think we have to go it's just whether or not we see like I'll go after the lander is I just we could see the lander is protect and then the Amungus go sport into Volcarona which wouldn't be ideal I mean we will get a heat wave off into it the other thing is they just switch into incinero now and little Mao the first time watching your stream brought thank you so much thanks for coming by I really appreciate it right okay so that's not ideal they're gonna spoil the Volcarona I think it's not a massive amount of damage okay well they're trying did they just try and spores ashen pretty sure they did now we got a pretty free target into the lander is yeah okay we'll be able to remove the Amungus which is good get some heat wave damage on to the lander is being with blade it probably will be enough to get the Amungus the only drawback is now we lose our substitute potentially I think that I think we've missed an opportunity where we could have probably went juven six thank you so much for the sub I can't believe they've went after the Volcarona though okay that's crazy we still got a sub and we get the burn okay mad mad hacks mad hacks yeah I think they'd be better going for this ashen here in all honesty grassy terrain going away yeah also like to see your draft league matches in the old format yeah that's the thing that's the thing draft league has been a lot of fun it has been a lot of fun gotta give a huge shout out to Joe and the rest of the team for setting that up and asking me to get involved it's yeah I really enjoyed that okay incinerole coming in I mean the lander is can protect here but I think again this is a good opportunity for us to probably quiver dance and go for a behemoth blade because we either get rid of the lander us they can fake out Volcarona or they go for flablet interzation they could protect lander us here and then go for the flablet but this is why I think we've got a good opportunity here to get a quiver dance off which will just help us close the game out but I think it's kind of important for my opponent to get rid of this substitute if they can so this is where like we're drawn in a lot of attention from the incinerole now which makes Volcarona and a good place to get the the quiver dance off and if they go for the flablet into the Volcarona then it's kind of alright because ashen still got its sub and we got boom to come in with fake out so we can pressure the the zernius that would be in the back okay so they go off to the Volcarona which is fine again like we we keep our sub we love that we want that to happen base 90 for mr. mime yeah okay okay so it's not it's not super super fast I thought it was faster I thought it was faster and deceived right Zern can't disrespect the zernius we definitely can't I've got to fake it out I know for a fact it will protect I know for a fact it'll protect but we can't we can't just allow it to potentially get a geomancy off so I'm gonna have to fake it out just to cover bases and then get the sacred sword into the incinerole yeah like we could be ballsy and just go like just fake out incinerole sacred sword while the zernius protects but again it's like do we risk them getting the geomancy off and things could go well it just gets way more complicated right yeah protect okay that's fine Luigi doing good mate I hope you are happy to see that view count what is the view count 108 wow oh my god there's a lot of a lot of you find people here tonight which I am so grateful for yeah Luigi that's insane it's amazing very lucky to have a great community like we got here and Fizzle how have you liked United far honestly I've really enjoyed it like I've never played a Marba ever before but I have really enjoyed you night so I'm a complete new bit it so I've been asking I haven't really bugged a lot of people yet but I know I will be and but I've really enjoyed it I think it's just that like I'm a little bit sad that I've not played Marba before now now playing it especially like team games like that I think it'd be a lot of fun I haven't really played like we had a few games the other night playing it like in just a random team that we put together a few people that we know and but not like a serious team although I'm nowhere near a level where I could probably go into a serious team yet I still got a long way to go but I really do enjoy it and I've just not had as much time as I would have liked to kind of play it but hopefully over the weekend get caught up and get like a little bit more practicing how about you you've been enjoying it and good game to our last opponent and we'll move on and we've got Incineroar Suicune my and I never know how to say mine shall mean shall I'm pretty sure it's me and shall I'm pretty sure but I always get it it's wrong so I do apologize Reggio Lecchi Rillaboom and Calorax song hmm tailwind Suicune we need boom in this one okay it's just what we need I think we'll go top and I do we go top and I'm gonna lead top hat do we bring high dragon here I think high dragon can be good but it's more it's it's better bringing it because it's good bait almost if that makes sense we'll go boom and then we'll go session and then we'll lock in. Giancarlo your night is awesome Zeraora is busted though I played with Zeraora like I was playing with Pika a lot like Pikachu and I really like Pikachu and I went to Zeraora and I was like okay these Pokemon are completely different and just could not get my head around Zeraora but it's a very cool Pokemon and please it's in your night you know it's one of my favorite like legendaries especially newish ones you know the mythical Pokemon so it's cool to see it featured and yeah everyone seems to be saying it's like super busted can we find you at your night yes if you look down below there's my then literally like my user on there and my code and my switch ID so if you'd like to add me I'll I'll go in after this and we'll make sure to add and then we can definitely hook up and do some games that'll be a lot of fun right we've got Suicune we got Incineroar we can't fake out the Suicune of course because of that inner focus but it's gonna tailwind we definitely know that we could double up into Incineroar here it's likely it's gonna it's good it's going to go for a fake I think or a point shot we just fake it out and then we can just drop an earth power onto it I mean we might be even worth going for something like a Drake or into Suicune because it's likely I'm gonna switch Hydra again out sooner anyway so just getting that nice initial damage onto Suicune is gonna be quite useful see how much this does I don't expect it to do a massive amount but it should do a good amount we are life-oped oh that's a good that's a tasty amount so another Draco from our Hydra again we'll get it we'll get it yeah and there's a tailwind so I think it's time for big bad boom to come on to the field we'll bring boom in and I think we just protect Hydra again here because it feels like it's good it's a good target for Incineroar to kind of go potting shot into really just nullify it the ability for it to to do much damage and then the next time we can maybe switch top in for Hydra again and the Suicune may go like ice beam into that slot right now or icy wind okay that's not so bad Salazi gotta go hope you all have a great day good luck late thank you so much and thanks for dropping by the stream have a great rest of your day Salazi hope to catch you again soon potting shot perfect into Hydra again that's amazing now Suicune's in a range to go down I think we protect the Rilla boom a little bit further we switch the hitman top in and just that double intimidate I'll make it a little bit easier to manage I doubt Suicune's got protect and then we can reset the drops on Hydra again as well which is which is good so we'll go the grassy Clyde route or do we go like what do we go like U-turn expecting them to switch something in like their their own Rilla boom no I think we try and get rid of the Suicune I'm gonna commit to trying to get rid of the Suicune if we can because I'd prefer to get rid of it they're not switching out so unless it's got protect we will we will be able to get it unless it's got a Rendo Berry which it may do so yeah I mean there if we do turn there I'd super regret allowing this we couldn't just stick around because then it gets the opportunity to kill wind again and that it's not ideal for us and then the minus two yeah we take that pretty well pretty well pretty well for a super effective attack unite is pretty easy to understand so I like it yeah I get yeah I'm with you there there is like it's quite straightforward I've found some really cool guides on on on YouTube just kind of giving you an overview of how like lanes just like the like the kind of generic sort of terminology that you get in sort of games like that so it makes a bit more sense to me I think the thing that I've got to do is grind for items because at the minute okay can the top get the horse we aren't intimidated so we should get the horse and I don't think this one's gonna be a bulky horse it protects we've just revealed that we've got sucker punch oh dear parting shot don't be on the top that's alright then okay that's okay that's okay I dragon what a lad I dragon gotta bring it I was testing it through the week and I was like I really like that so I was like I'm gonna bring it I'm gonna bring it to Friday's tour because I think it's it's got a lot of potential I do think there's a bit of a drawback with the team in general where I do feel like it needs more speed control support like Reggie Alecki I think would be an ideal Pokemon to kind of support it and in all honesty okay what they got the incineroar in the back yes so I dragon feels a better choice here because I don't think they leave the calorex in now like no way and we can just wide guard here as well you know there is there is their option just to wide guard and just earth power because they think they do yeah I think they switch to calorex to incineroar and they go elect I think electro web makes sense from Reggie Alecki here so we can wide guard earth power and just get the Alecki dodge the speed drop let's see can we catch them with this there we go bush love to see it and then we'll get the earth power and that should that should do the end Cody Rogers good luckily I joined the tour but have no time to play so just watching I'm sorry to hear that Cody but thank you so much hopefully you can play in one of the subsequent weeks but like I said earlier in the in the stream will be running these every Friday so and hopefully you get to play in one at some point that'd be awesome but really appreciate you dropping in dropping the message hope you enjoy the stream as well right we've got the calorex to deal with got fake out I mean do we just wow the calorex has got no way to deal with that die dragon has it I don't know if we need to I think we just suck a punch dog pulse to be honest or what we could potentially do is be a bit smarter about it and get rid of our intimidate drop on him on top because unintimidated like it just checks it just checks the calorex a hundred percent and this might be a bad play in respect to giving the calorex like that special attack boost with the with the Rilla boom coming in but we get around their fake out this way and I feel like getting top back onto the field without the intimidate drop just yeah it makes it kind of locks the calorex for a few turns while the Incinero tries to deal with the him on top and again at the same time we kind of get the intimidate back onto the Incinero which which helps out a bunch okay so we could have got the sucker punch off nasty plot okay that's not ideal didn't see that coming okay right well well well well well well well well I mean they have to protect the calorex here right because we just fake out Incinero oh this is this is this is this isn't this isn't ideal at all because an astro brage will still do a lot to Hydra again but is it gonna knock us out I don't think so I don't think so I think I'm over worrying here oh am I I don't know if this knocks Hydra again out oh my god oh my god I can't actually believe that nasty plot it actually takes Hydra again down like calorex is just so broken it's ridiculous it's alright though we got him on top to come in it's fine we're alright we can rely on top to close this match up we should never give it the room to nasty plot oh my god and it's just gonna sit in nasty plot and nasty plot and nasty plot now isn't it yeah this is bad this bad right there's a good look in the toy and have a great night hope and catch you again sometime thanks so much for coming by the stream and you enjoy the rest of your day right how many sucker punches we got we've got four we have to be very very careful with these we'll go for one now we'll go for the sacred sword hopefully that's enough to get the Incineroar well plus one so that should be calorex protecting yeah but what we can do is use the if we get rid of the Incineroar now this is the big thing where we'll be able to use a sucker punch to kind of yeah we'll be able to use a sucker punch to get a substitute up and that will win us again whatever happens so it's it's good right sucker punch again just to check it and we can sub Alexander McIntyre thank you so much for the sub Alexander and thanks if you are joining us tonight and you are joining us hope you enjoy the stream and it looks like hit my top saves the day there we go hit my top yeah Luigi the the sucker behemoth would pin it but I think the sucker punch because they could nasty plot again so I think sucker substitute and then whatever happens we're kind of good from that point so what are we now are we for two for two no yeah for two for two so we're doing not too bad not too bad and there's still plenty of time left in the tournament Josh well now they have to double protect us which color eggs are yeah yeah the sucker punch the drawback with my hitman top is I ran out of PP ups so I haven't got like max PP ups so if we run into something like a ternitus with pressure then we're in a bit of trouble okay we've got our first opposing zasheen team tonight we've got zasheen whimsicott and the Galerians zaptos talk all cruega dial and ditto this looks a fun team this looks a lot of fun so you got intimidate on the cruega dial and ditto just being something that will be like a cleanup crew Pokemon comes in at the end there's all sorts of bad things I think okay well yeah zaptos causes us quite a few issues for sure and we can't intimidate it which makes it a little bit more tricky but we can lead okay I think we go zasheen I think we go for corona and then we go boom and then I think why we need top just for that intimidate support really and top does pretty well against the majority of stuff my opponents team like once his zaptos has gone we've got a bit more freedom to kind of bring it in now but as long as it's sitting on the field and if zasheen's out next to it then it kind of pins us not able to kind of go for that intimidate which is yeah let me another Tony so all my yeah we do these every Friday so there'll be another one of these next next Friday same time next Friday unless we change around to suit some people but I'll post in plenty of time like Monday I'll post the new the new cold up and then we'll go from there okay zaptos and the whimsicott what's Zappi gonna do Laura defense potentially but kind of take a behemoth blade I don't know if it will be able to unless you see like charm hmm I don't really have the switches though so it's like do we lose Volcarona right now and I think I think I want to keep Volk like Volk's really important for us so I'll switch in really boom and hope that they're going like brave bird I don't know if they're gonna attack I really don't not into that slot but the residual damage that they take like the recoil damage that they take from the brave bird will be really useful because we probably see tailwind yeah and then brave bird it's probably this will knock out really boom but it's kind of alright because yeah we'll be able to get the recall that trade-off isn't too bad because now we've got a bit more freedom with Hitmon top and we can also get Volcarona onto the field so the next term what we could potentially do because you've got to think probably Zasheen comes in for my opponent here we'll get Volcarona onto the field now we'll get that grassy seed boost and then we'll switch as Ashen for Hitmon top and it just means that Zasheen can be we can keep Zasheen for a little bit later on okay that's not ideal talk all coming in not ideal don't want to see that I don't think a sacred sword gets it either mmm and that grassy seed is not helping us one little bit I just ate my words my opponent's just like nah I ain't bringing Zasheen onto the field now you crazy I think we've got a taunt and then I think oh could we could we get away with an equivalence here because if we could I just don't know if we'll be able to take an eruption in the Sun it's a pretty big ask is it just better going for a heatwave just to get damage and reduce the heatwave output and put that whimsicott potentially down to its sash I think that's maybe yeah okay we're gonna lose Volcarona which isn't ideal this is where Tim on top would have been way better to bring in so we had like why God okay no sash wimmy which is which is decent ditto and series tango be super fun yeah I think it's super viable you know I think I think it's really viable it's heatwave okay I mean that's better like it's better than eruption and now Zasheen is the last Pokemon we've got a little well still very difficult right because the talk all makes things makes things very tricky okay so I think what we do is it's a shame we haven't got like and maybe we can rage powder but we are gonna take a heatwave hmm and you definitely behemoth blade into as Ashen as I think a sacred sword and a heatwave would be enough to get the talk all I don't know how's it better just to go okay I think what we're gonna have to do is I think bring in him on top now and I think heatwave and hope yeah I think that's that's the play like Zasheen on my opponent's end might protect maybe Zobby Lee thank you so much for the follow I'm guessing the delay is intentional to help I don't know if I've even got a delay on this stream honestly I haven't actually set a delay up on the stream tonight so if I do get sniped it's my own fault but I haven't intentionally set a delay up or there shouldn't be one unless it's like an auto delay it's weird because I normally stream just using OBS just regular OBS but I've actually went over to stream labs because it's easier at integrating onto YouTube then at least I find it is then just using my OBS that I use mainly for Twitch that might sound really strange but like yeah it just feels easier using this than the other side so we can fake out Zasheen now we can go for that heatwave we've got the intimidate off into it talk we're gonna be still a little bit of an issue but I mean the Sun has only got a few turns left we've got him on top that is gonna be able to take another heatwave at least the Zasheen just protected the last turn Volcarona was able to stick around so this heatwave I don't expect it to be able to pick up the knockout onto Zasheen but the fact is that we can get a heatwave off now is really really valuable especially in the Sun is it gonna be enough it is enough wow okay that's a massive surprise to me that really surprises me I'm guessing there's a delay here so I won't react to specific turns anymore and the context here that would be kind of weird I didn't even know there was a delay on the stream so if it seems like this delay I will watch it back after I finish and but yeah I didn't even even realize there was a delay I think yeah we just heatwave and wide guard and that should lock it talk all's a nice Pokemon though to play against Zasheen in particular because it's got such high defenses like if you can just protect it with like intimidate support then it can do so much work you know and there's the yawns coming out but Volcarona gonna take a nap I think now because I think that's what they used last turn right yeah so we just switch into Zasheen now and just go for a close combat because if they protect that's fine Zasheen will be able to clean up and if not then close combat will be able to take the talk all down so that should be good Alexander how are you doing thanks for hoping and enjoying the stream tonight I hope you're having a great day Josh yeah most likely case Evan it's just a few seconds okay so that's probably just like normal I think like delay wise and there we go talk all down and we do come out on top again so Volcarona really really really handy for us there the bulky one paying off I think being able to kind of deal with us there was a pause and talk out talk all attacks like eruption really scared me there I was definitely worried about that getting fired up will continue on see how high we can climb I think a play for well I don't want to play I don't want to like I'm taking myself out of the rankings obviously we've got a prize for tonight for the rankings Shannon Pearl diamond brilliant diamond or the way around and but I will be taking myself out of the rankings so if anyone's wondering what happens if you talk but I doubt I will I would doubt I would get number one anyway and but if there was some miracle happened and it happened I'll be coming out the rankings and okay we've got an ex- opponent in Senor all shadow writer Karex Reggie Alecki Mianchao and the Galarian wheezing and a really boom pretty standard kind of Cali team but the the glaring wheezing is really nice in there just to shut down abilities especially like things like Zash in it can be pretty annoying to deal with okay let's go top our dragon do we want the boom I think we do yeah I think we want boom here yeah yeah let's go with that I kind of think of my opponent probably lead like Mianchao and and Karex but we will soon see HD he be he be hey hey hey thank you so much how you doing and I really appreciate that thank you for coming by the stream tonight it's it's amazing to have everyone here watching so I hope everyone is enjoying it and yeah it's been good so far we got off to a really rocky start but we're doing a little better now and the teams kind of showing what I can do I do feel like I'm really missing like some centric speed control on this team that's something I would like to to probably adjust on the team somewhere maybe we could probably get rid of Tapa Fini although I do feel like Fini kind of plays a role in some you know especially against Kyogre teams it does so well against those teams right this is ideal because now because we kind of led with the high dragon it kind of means that my opponent has to fake it out like they don't worry about the fake up from the hip on top because we can't fake out and show anyway so this is why we kind of go with this lead so we can go for that sucker punch we're not intimidated and we can just switch into I mean we could switch into Zashin but in case we see a really fat horse like we saw earlier I prefer to switch in really boom that can take the attack a little bit better and then if it does hang on we're not in the same situation as we faced earlier and we got the grass glide where we can just pick up the calorex if we need to if that makes sense Nick how are you doing mate I hope you're well thanks for joining the stream tonight I hope you're doing great and having a great day and hopefully we can get the horse because this is the big thing we really want to get the horse here with top this is pretty much the reason why I'm the only reason I'm running him on top it's not really but I like it's one of the main reasons I love him on top though one of my favorite all-time favorites come on let's get this don't fake us out yeah yeah you have to do that come on yeah there we go the horse killer is alive we've done it chat brilliant okay that's great and now no calorex to deal with things get so much easier this is just yeah I'm on top you are the boy you're the boy love to see it right I think you need the expert belt on top to be able to get calorex like a hundred percent of the time and then with that it does allow you a little bit of room to kind of bulk it out elsewhere okay all right me and Shao it's definitely the next thing we want to try and get rid of let's just go close combat and go for a I mean you probably fake out Rilla boom right she's not really got a great switching for anything into a close combat so that's why I'd probably prefer to just U-turn I think and allow Rilla to take the close combat okay gone after the top that's fine looks like the incident was gone for a parting shot or a flare blitz him on top might be slower than incident or maybe I don't know but yeah we have to bring in high dragon here because we can't really bring in Zash in because it makes sense for my opponent to go for something like flare blitz into the Rilla boom slot and we can't really do that but we are able to get the minch out and that's nice Josh it's nice finding VGC content like this as it really helps in understanding things trying to switch over from showdown or you singles play so differently it's kind of mad how different it is yeah Josh and you know what I want to just instill some confidence in you making that switch over because I originally started on I started playing singles that was how I kind of got into Pokemon played singles for a long time and and was was all about singles and then I remember first hearing about doubles and I was like what's doubles no that's not real Pokemon but then I got into it and yet so much more complex and I think you've got like such a good basis from what you learn as a singles player and then transitioning into the VG you're being really good standing just it's just getting your head around everything but hopefully the content does help and I'll be putting a lot more out for series 10 so if there's anything in particular you'd like to see and that goes for everyone like if there's content that you would find useful just let me know because I'm super happy to put put put content out to be as helpful as possible let's go wide guard because they could go for a cheeky old electro web and I guess we'll just earth power the Reggie leckie this top if we catch the electrical web it's just tormenting now no they're not falling for it oh my god oh my god okay that's a critical hit I was like how was that killed a hydrogen just like fodder tonight okay well clever it's coming out not ideal but it's a grassy train ending now if it's not this is really bad timing that crits not ideal but it happens it happens we know we can get rid of the incident or the next turn and really boom even without the train we'll be able to deal with the leckie but I'm pretty sure the the terrain ends oh no we got two turns so that's kind of that's all right that gives us the room we need so we should be able to pick up the knockout on incident or here it's taking a little bit of chip so that might be in just enough to like put it off the edge depends how it's trained though yeah not a massive defensively bulky one Bobby that is amazing to hear I'm really happy that the content does help out really does it makes all the doing all the content worthwhile so thank you so much really appreciate that I'm Samuel it's over on trying to learn move stats predictions and making a usable team so much to learn in such a little time yeah that's the big thing I think like the information that like that makes it really difficult to like just jump into VG and one that's like such a barrier you know and it makes it I think easier for older players to kind of play new new series or new formats like with new games because they got all that knowledge from the past generations that they played and then they're just translating and picking up tiny bits of information whereas if you're coming in you're learning like everything that you need to do and it's yeah it can be a little overwhelming but just take your time and it will come with time and practice like I always say like practice practice practice as much as you can it just gets you so much more familiar with things that you're going to see on a frequent basis and teams and how opponents playing things like that so that's the best way to do it and like get involved with different groups as well speak to other players and join like little communities and things because everyone's really up for normally helping other players out whenever they can you know with team building practice and things like that we've got a great group over on our discord so that is definitely there no not like a shameless plug or anything is just generally we've got a really nice community so there you know there's always people around that would help and I'll definitely if I'm around if you need questions answered and I can answer them then I'm super happy to help so yeah but yeah it is it is really difficult like on that level of knowledge base they always remember talking to wassy Ross's TCG player this is a while ago and he was talking about like it's so much easier getting into TCG from like his perspective playing it for so many years then it is for him to like if it was on the other way around and him to stop playing VG because of the just amount of knowledge that you need compared to TCG which I always presumed was like the opposite I thought going into TCG be like that's not too much information but it's definitely the opposite right we've got our next opponent going up and I think Kyogre team and it looks pretty similar to the one we played earlier and didn't have much success against but this time we've got a Nido King in there which is pretty cool because Nido King is just one of the best Pokemon ever but we've got Kyogre, Tornades, Serena, Nido King, Ditto and Shininger lots of shenanigans going on here right what are we going to do against this team I think we'll bring Zashian up top this time round we want Rilla but I think probably Rilla's better in the back potentially although Rilla Boom has such a hard job against do we need do we need Intimidate? Intimidate definitely helps against Serena for sure because it could potentially leave Rilla Boom, Tappafini and I definitely want Hydra Eigen because we're going to need it for that Shininger if it does decide to come and I think Hydra Eigen is quite good in general here so yeah and little more the content is great man I started to play Pokemon because of your content thank you so much honestly it's really appreciated Kenny if I ever won if I ever won this tournament how can I claim my prize if I live in the Philippines just if you filled in the form that's the big thing so filled in the form that's kind of one of the main reasons why we put the form there so we've got a way to kind of verify who won and obviously there is an email there or Twitter handles so either reach out to me well if you win and we've got the team and the information we'll reach out to you and that is super fine and it's not tied to anywhere in the world where we'll send this so it will be obviously we'll need to make sure that we get one are they even region locked anymore the games I don't even think they are so yeah we'll work it out though and so that was the kind of way that we'll be doing it right we got Serena and what was the other Pokemon I need to see Serena and Tornados I think the big thing for us is to get rid of the Tornados like straight away if we can like knockoff and behemoth blade feel like the best things because we're going to take a U-turn from the Serena I would imagine yeah let's just knock it off let's go for the knockoff into the Tornados yeah because they're going to tell when they either go triple axle into Rilobuuma U-turn okay we should take this yeah we will take this this is better than a U-turn and it only hits twice which is amazing so behemoth blade coming out we want to just really get rid like this is the thing that we said in the the earlier game and we weren't able to do was get rid of the Tornados early game because then you know we can't deny it's tailwind when it's got the Serena next to it so we have to now stall out the the tailwind which is which is fine we can we can totally do that but the thing is we don't want to allow Tornados to stick around and get that second tailwind off because that's what kind of kills us really you know and Kenny uh Steven do you have any suggestions when it comes to good or proper team building and Steven it's that is a that is probably the hardest question in all VGC in my opinion I think team building is yeah it's I feel like I'm copping out saying this but it is it's it's probably the hardest process in VG or Pokemon in general I think like team building tips I think speed is like probably one of the most like fundamental things to look at I think when you're building a team and this is why you see things like Karex, Regilecki being used quite a lot because they just naturally outspeed everything speed controls like a big thing and like then implementing that in with Pokemon that can utilize that speed control well like the Kyogre here with the Tornados works really well and you got that synergy with the Serena as well which makes sense yeah I'm sorry I should probably do a like a video series on team building it's something I haven't touched because it's something I'm a little bit like hesitant to like dive in with because I know how like complex it is and it can be so varied it's yeah it's uh it's a yeah sorry to cop out on an answer I don't mean to it's just I don't want to start getting into half answers here and then give you wrong information but if it's if it would be useful um content it would be something I definitely look at doing Bebham my friend how are you doing mate finally caught the stream you're here my friend I hope you're enjoying your holiday dude and great to have you here tonight mate right okay it's ditto coming in not ideal for us right now I think we gotta we gotta stall out this tailwind um and how many turns have we got left to do to not ideal okay okay let's get the boom in and let's go for the protect the problem is I don't know if boom will be able to take a behemoth blade but then is the tap of finny a big draw for my opponent right now and say well let's water spout that probably gets rid of the zasheen and then do we go for water spout behemoth blade into the finny that would be ideal because I think by getting boom onto the field here for free it kind of gives us a while it makes my opponent have to switch into the serena the next turn don't know if we take this no way that is a shame and that's probably scoffed zasheen yeah I'd imagine it is scoffed um okay well hmm let's get our zasheen back out onto the field because we can protect and then at least we know the tailwind has ended after that I mean we could take the opportunity here to try and attack the opposing zasheen if they're gone after ours you know but we have just protected which is the big problem for us where they probably go for the behemoth blade into finny yeah I think we have to protect we have to protect let's just go for muddy water let's just try and get it off see if we can tcg is way more easier than vgc some of y'all yeah I like I got into vgc pretty heavily in um in the summer when series nine was kind of going on I was like I am not like feeling series nine as much as I have done previous series and I played a lot of tcg uh pokemon online and I was playing uh water ushifu uh rapid strike ushifu deck and it was so much fun with like dragapult vmax it was really cool I really enjoyed it um but yeah it's uh I think like it's just getting the cards it's really hard online I found really difficult because it's just like I just don't have I just don't have the cards to trade for uh the calorex deck and like I think calorex was like the last time I looked it was like something like 38 packs of chilling rain which was just nuts it was like I don't even that's like more than a booster box with the chords it was just yeah ridiculous right this is a bit tricky for us for sure because the water spot is going to sting and it all comes down to who's who's faster who's faster which is ashen's faster and do they substitute as well that's a big question you know hmm because we could secret sword the kayaga but I don't think we can kind of afford to do that uh whereas like we probably need to moonblast it let's see if they sub here we're done have we just we won the speed tie there have we oh we have okay that is huge for us I don't think we outspeed the kayaga so we will take a water spout but that's that's that's totally fine because that shouldn't be able to take the the spout yep and tap of any just about as well and Kenny just here so I hope you enjoy Kenny thank you so much we do get the special attack drop that's massive for us honestly uh and having high dragon in the back we can now well we can play it really safe if we want where we can just protect ashen um and allow finny to go down and then high dragon can come in and help with that with the the serena team demise brady team building is so rough I've only been in vgc for a few months and it's been the most difficult part of the game I've been sticking to rentals to be honest feels lazy but seems to be a good way to learn now I think you're approaching it in the like the best way possible and like team building will come for sure but like I think honestly like if you're doing that that's like it sounds a bit like a copper but it's totally not like people put rental teams up because they generally work um and they've been successful with them so it's good to like learn how these teams um do work you know and it gives you a way to jump on with a competitive team and play in the format and learn the format it's a really good way of doing it I think that's like if no one should like say anything about anyone new coming in and picking up rental teams or uh teams that friends have given to use you know I think it's a really good resource helps new players coming in for sure I really like it but yeah I think you've gone about the right way but team building is rough I still find team building hard and I've been doing it for like and I'm not saying I'm an amazing team builder at all but like I've been doing it since like 2010 like in VG which is a long time you know and I still find it really difficult at times you know um and I don't I don't know I I don't know if like anyone would like really turn around especially when you're going into like tournament season I don't know if anyone anyone player don't matter how good they are would be able to turn around and say you know um at the end of the at the end of this whatever point of the season when their team building their team building is an easy process I don't think anyone like how good however good they are would be able to turn around so that because I think it's always a challenge you know and probably one of the most challenging things at least yeah but this is my two cents on it Zach how do we join your discord uh Zach uh it should be well and let's see there might be a link down in the description of this video actually there should be there should be actually if there's not Zach let me know and I'll find a link and post it over to you Evan well that did I was in scarfed yeah that kind of worked out pretty well for us it would have been a slightly slightly different if it had been is there a rental code of this team at the end yeah I'm gonna throw up the rental team so as soon as I finish playing and Kenny then I'm gonna throw up the rental before I finish up tonight so uh anyone that wants to try it out can try it out um I'll probably do because we'll see this will be up on the channel but I'll probably do uh uh an updated version of this team because I do feel like we need some sort of speed control in here whether it be something like icy wind on finny or not which it could be useful and you could go with like maybe not the calm mind variant maybe haze screens there's lots of options that we could go there uh even heal pulse which can help out with stuff like zash in and volcarona especially if itself so there's a few options in and the icy wind could help but again it might not be the the best pokemon to use speed control for here we go we got our next opponent playing an evaltal team this looks this looks spicy this is evaltal tyranitar hitmon top xcudrill zaptos and tapilele okay all the style points got to this trainer this is going to be interesting because the the xcudrill titan makes it very difficult to kind of get zashing going um and I feel like we're quite weak to uh flying type attacks as well this is why another reason why maybe alecki would be better over the tapu finny um in this team but it's not the case today we've got to deal with what we've got um hmm could we go for top volcarona I don't know if we can get away with it though I don't know if we can get away well we might be able to we may be able to we could okay we're gonna do that we're gonna go for top volcarona I think we need tapu finny here for all 100 sure um and then zashing okay let's do this let's see and josh not long ago I was reading about tcg dex and there was one thing that really caught my attention durant mill I think I'm a bad person for wanting to make a mill deck now that's yeah I love those mill decks because they like literally don't they just rinse the cards so you can't draw anymore and that's like a rule if you can't draw anymore you just lose it's a crazy rule but I do love it yeah mill decks are fun for sure uh julian uh team building the hardest and the funniest part of competitive for sure the link is in the description Samuel awesome great to hear um bebham lee what happens if you win the tournament would that mean you gift yourself yeah course dude that's that's why I'm playing I'm like yeah it's a gift to me from me I don't think I win tonight dude but if I did buy any miracle um I would I would just hit myself out of the rankings of course of course let's try and get a quiver dance up I don't suppose we're gonna be able to but oh no this could be bad this could be bad because it could oblivion wing of all corona oh no they tailwind okay that's fine that's fine that's that's way better the tailwind not great of course we've got like two flying weak pokemon right on the field right now and it's not ideal for us I think it's time to switch the top out for zashing I feel like that's a good player a good switch and then we can go we could go quiver dance again there's oblivion wing special right yeah let's do that let's do that and their top's gonna switch out at least we know their tops faster for later on in this game zappy coming in imagine the velta is maybe it's not a salt vest maybe black glasses and it's got snow okay okay well the zap does has to rely on hurricane right do you think fake out wide garden torn are absolutely necessary in series 10 I'd say they're pretty necessary I don't think why God's necessary I think fake out and torn probably quite necessary you could probably get away without taunt to be honest um out of the three I'd say fake out's probably the most necessary it's so relevant but again it's not something that you definitely need like I've seen plenty of teams in previous formats like not in sword and shield but like yes past where where it feels like fake out's really relevant and there's been plenty of teams that have won big tournaments without fake out at all so you don't feel like you're tied to it as long as the team can function you can play around those opposing texts that people kind of rely on then um they go for it obviously yeah just do that okay we're gonna go for heat wave we need to start getting some damage out in the field we can't stall this till wind out without doing that and we'll just protect zash in this turn because heat wave potentially oblivion wing yeah but we are plus two we should be able to take this a little better than usual it's just whether or not a hurricane comes out are they gonna okay well we outspeed the zapdos which is nice do some pretty significant damage actually it's a zapdos as well prokina citrus berry team building is very hard since having a disability but uh know how hard it is on anyone it's the maths at the end of the day i've been into vgc since 2012 yeah the maths weekday game as official yeah definitely helps out a bunch you know um i think do we do we risk but stuff like damage calculators you know um definitely make things like that a little bit easier um i think they can like definitely lighten the lord with team building you know but it's just finding that balance i think it's always find that benchmark you know i i tend to always start with like a speed benchmark um what i want my pokemon to be like speed wise or what i want them to knock out and once i've hit those benchmarks then i look at other like ways to potentially can i get a little bit more um now we can't take that that's a bit of a shame can i get a little bit more in defense can i take an opposing attack and things like that and just just play around with damage calculator yeah i spend a lot of time in the damage calculator doing stuff like that but yeah it's um it is tough it is tough for sure i don't know how much that heat wave will do but the tailwind pit us out um okay all brings ashen in because i think now my opponent's a bit tied to god it's just whether or not we can get this ashen here the the um the velto here because we we need to stop that tailwind i don't know if behemoth blade will be enough because we could potentially just calm mind and go and go behemoth blade and hope that it is enough i think like if you if you're a bit unsure your opponent i think they switch in the hitmon top for zaptos now get the intimidate onto zashen and get the tailwind up so that does give us a little bit of room potentially to get the the calm mind here okay it's hitmon top it's the other way around okay and imagine we might see uh thunderbolt though here not a heat wave thomas the tans how are you doing thanks for hopping in join us tonight julian would you be interested in a peculiar shadow rider team to try uh it has no hollow trinity and calyx is the only one with the protect no restriction and weirdly enough it works i'd love to try it out thank you so much for offering william weakness policy velto team yeah oh okay that's fat damage that's so fat uh we get the calm mind which is not ideal the eject button there is i'm assuming that's what it was and too busy reading the chat but i'm assuming that was eject button and steven i hope series 11 will be known that in a max without a strict pokemon now that would be that would be so much fun that would be so much fun let's protect i think we protect finny go for a substitute here yeah because they're gonna switch in him on top again i think the tail went here this is why i'm going for this play because then they're either forced to snarl the next turn or go down to a combination of well no they they i thought they have to fake out the finny i think the only problem is like zashen's on minus two now i don't know minus one which isn't ideal well we'll click the moon blast button and we'll go for a behemoth blade i guess be interested to see where okay so no fake out come for that snarl and they're gonna get rid of our sub on as ashen but we should be able to get rid of the velto now which just means then we just need to sort like these tail went to these last tail went turns and then zashen's a little bit freer to kind of do some work wow this is a such a fatty velto it is enough few few few few is god of war uh good support or not bad damage god of war is decent damage and it's decent support i guess it depends what role you want to kind of play um in this format you know i like god of war as a pokemon it's got huge uh special defense behemoth thank you so much for becoming a member my friend that's the sort kind of you dude really appreciate that my friend yeah but god of war is good i wouldn't say it's like top tier top tier um it's definitely been something i've used in the past and i've always felt a little bit um at a disadvantage shall i say there we go bebum covers thank you so much bebum really appreciate that once again mate right let's try and see if we can get somewhere with this tapu finny no fint okay the wrong target which is good okay that's fine that's that's what we like to see i'm like oh they're gonna t-ball us that's the worst that's the worst now have they got they got fake out close combat fint and wide guard i would imagine so we can um there'll be muddy water here because it's risky muddy water gone for muddy water for sure uh we could just fake out this aftos and moonblast it's way safer just go on after they hit my top okay we'll switch is in tapu lele that's all right though we'll still get a fake out off and if we can get a special attack drop on this tapu lele then that that makes things a bit easier for us for sure to detect which is ah no way don't let that be us don't let that be us let's see well one of us has dropped off connection wise so it doesn't look good is it us or is it them looks like it could be no it wasn't us that's really unfortunate for my opponent because it wasn't like either of us we're in a position where we we couldn't win the game from that point if we played it right so i don't think it's like intentional at all um really unfortunate really unfortunate but good game up to that point for my opponent uh will that thank you so much for the follow for hoppin and join us tonight uh useful resource for vgc is pika litics pika litics is one of the best resources for sure it's uh it's amazing yeah all the resources they've got on there so it's a really good shout out evan right we got jack up next playing incineroar melottic uh grim snarl amungas porygon 2 and calorex ice rider awesome looking team lots to think about here obviously trick room heavy team because if you get that calorex in the trick room it's going to be difficult to kind of stop uh the melottic makes it difficult for us to bring him on top which we want against the calorex for sure um in the p2 and the incineroar and all that but we can't bring it unfortunately so hmm we will bring boom up top at least that gives us a way to deal with melottic a little easier i don't know if i want to lead zashing though i wonder if it's better bringing like something like i think now we'll go we'll go zashing i think we'll go tap of finny we'll need that i think and then hit them on top yeah okay we'll go with that yeah yeah let's do that andrew i like turtles i like turtles too the ninja the ninja kind the ninja turtles just any turtles cool torkos very cool and zack what are your thoughts of utility umbrella volcarona on my dialga rain team so i'm not really too familiar with like utility umbrella does it just ignore the effects of weather like the salt if you get hit with let's just say hypothetically you get hit with the muddy water from an opposing finny in the reins up would it ignore the effects of rain then you would just get hit with that regular muddy water i really don't i'm not really too up on utility umbrella i think i like the idea of it but i'd need to i just need to learn a little bit more about it i think um okay incineroar and p2 coming out like the big thing for us here is to stop the trick room going up really um so we can fake out the problem is like we take a bunch of damage from that incineroar just decides to flare blitz right we could substitute as well at the same time or we could just switch session out into something like hit them on top and then we're in a good position to go for like close combat grassy glide or knock off close combat the next turn because rillo allowed speed the top so we'll have that option to do that might be a better idea because i think without the your light the p2 will go down into close combat if we can do enough damage okay it switches out it doesn't even matter we're going to see a parting shot i would imagine from the incineroar the mungus coming in is a rocky helmet that's not it's not okay well that's yeah so i think we'll do is go for a u turn into incineroar and we'll fake out a mungus and josh a big problem i have when it comes to team building is i end up fixating on weird ideas that don't end up working because there's always some big floor miss dude i can totally relate to that i get fixated on some pokemon um i mean we streamed last week's tour and i was playing scolopied so that says a lot about how i get fixated on some ideas and just want to run with them it's hard to kind of stop doing but um yeah sometimes it's good to kind of just take a step back i mean really the best way to test an idea if it's good or not jump on the ladder just have a few games with it if it's working then i guess the idea is worth pursuing if it doesn't work then i guess put it away i've definitely put scolopied in a box and i'm probably not going to um probably not going to get it out for the rest of series 10 to say the least it's uh yeah right a mungus poorly gone too i mean we have to set a substitute up now i think we probably see like a lisa rage powder or um we'll get top off the field as well we'll get that active fake out for the next turn then it keeps topping the back so we've got that intimidate for when carax comes back out onto the field um yeah but josh i can totally relate to that dk train do you think self-proc witness policy mons like g mortres are viable in series 10 uh probably yeah yeah i think if you've got something like grim snarl then like why not like because if you've got screen support um then that that's something that you can totally like you can totally take advantage of i think um we just not tend to see a lot of grim snarl at the minute it is slowly picking up in usage but uh it's not as prominent as it wasn't like series series eight or anything like that okay we behemoth blade and we fake out the p do we yeah yeah we do we do yeah we might see calyrex come in here and rage powder uh is the incineral okay just play it a bit safer this is all right though we're just stalling out these trick room turns at the baseline of everything you know um okay well that works out perfectly because the longer this goes on and they've not got the calyrex on the field and you know we their trick room turns are ticking away and any damage that we're doing here is like pretty useful this will be decent damage plus one yeah um and then i guess the next turn we just we just switch to hit them on top and protect zashin and then we got that active fake out again because the problem is with the moongus like i do like a moongus in this format but if you're playing like zashin once it gets a sub up if you can't get rid of the sub like a moongus is just completely walled against it it cannot do anything it can't get rid of the sub it can't do anything um which makes it super difficult if you're an opponent kind of playing against it and zack umbrella ignores rain and sun i believe yeah i'll be interesting enough and like ignores the effects as well and lewis brito welcome hi from dominican republic how you doing uh and thank you for hopping in join the stream tonight i hope you enjoy it dominican republic always somewhere i've wanted to go always looks like an amazing place right in see going out what are we gonna see come in the p2 or the calyrex is it time since we've got our intimidate out on the field is it time scott how you do an s9 vibe how you do my friend hope you're doing well dude hope you've had a good day and hope you're not melting too much as well man i am i am melting melting right now my little fan that i've got let's just run out of battery like i've got a plug it in but i've got one spare usb cable and i need it to have everything else that we've got going on working for the stream tonight plug it in so i can't yeah it's a bit awkward right well we've got the active fake out now um is the trick room still up we had two more turns i mean they can put him on top to sleep they can for sure but i think we fake out calyrex and we just get the behemoth blade off if we can get this off then that's huge but yeah just protects they're just gonna spoil they're just going to spoil top not ideal but not terrible because i think now what we'll do is the last turn of trick room let's just protect let's just play it out and let's get tepuk finny out into the field they don't need the really boom coming in on uh glacial lance for sure tomas i took off after season eight and get enrolled on victory road circuit uh feel refreshed here right now yeah it's nice to kind of come back like um having series nine off was probably the best the best idea i think it was a rough series to kind of like go through because it was just a repeat of like series seven it was just no need for it like if we had this for series like it would have been so good if this was series nine and then mostly series 10 could have been whatever you know um but never mind it's what what's happened it's happened we can't go back the problem is for my um it's not so much of a problem actually because well because the muddy water i don't think is going to be able to get the um the incident or all this next turn okay pollen puff yeah tomas i got tired in seven yeah yeah towards the end of it it was it was pretty pretty rough three sacred swords the problem is going sacred sword if they rage powder then we kind of just waste it whereas if we got behemoth blade like i want to get rid of the amungus more than anything um i think we just muddy water yeah like a behemoth blade okay p2 coming in i think just means we get to keep this sub up though oh it's like a revolving door pokemon beddy how are you doing thanks for hoping and enjoying the stream tyler how are you hope you're well my friend and uh ricky i just got kicked febzy's i just got kicked febzy's butt with my orbital febzy i've got something planned with febzy as well um so you you beat febzy with orbital ricky is that what you're saying i don't really get betty i love poc one awesome to hear i love poc one too if you couldn't tell but yeah we are running long behemoth blades we are running solo um we're gonna have to say good sword and i don't think there's much we can do to stop the trick room again but we can we can just muddy water let's see let's see yeah because we don't want to run out of behemoth blades that's the big problem like if the trick room goes up again and oh well we need it for calorex i mean we can kind of rely on sacred sword but it's not ideal accuracy drops will be super super useful here alicia mungus is gone which is which is nice and then we've got this long job of stalling out these trick room turns again which is not fun but i'd imagine the calorex to come in now i think but i think what my opponent did earlier by sporing that the top was smart because it means that we we don't have fake out when we bring it on to the field um but at the same time i think like one behemoth blade is going to take the calorex down i've only got two so this is where it's risky you see like we bring in top and then they're gonna go i think they go do they go glacial lands or do they go high horsepower let's see that's that's the bad thing here and they're gonna try okay i don't know if this gets the sub i don't think it will no okay yeah this is why i don't really want to go for yeah i'm just gonna protect because we need to stall these these turns out um i think the incineroar comes in now this is the thing like we'll just try and close combat the p2 i think the calorex switches out yeah the incineroar gonna come back in yeah just to waste these behemoth blades we've got one left bet yeah pokemon shield nice choice nice choice uh you need to get pokemon sword i think it's like there's there's i've seen lots of offer i don't know where about you you live but i've seen lots of offers in the uk for pokemon sword recently i've seen it as lots like 35 pounds which is like crazy compared to like when i think back now to what i originally paid for it it's um it's pretty nuts i think we have to go for the sacred sword do we go for it into the p2 though like like let's just think about this because how many turns of trick room we've got left two turns of trick room so we can protect on the next turn uh they go flablets yeah we go after the p2 we get rid of that trick room option and then we go for close combat into the incineroar because the sacred sword should get the p2 i don't think this breaks our sub either if it does then we're in a bit of trouble because then yeah flablets can but we should take the flablets we should take it depending on how this incineroar was yeah okay and and and and and no no burn that's good that's good right oh my god we don't even take down the p2 it's just gonna recover it's just gonna recover that is brutal brutal right okay we need to just well top should wake up now top should wake up uh grati and lester are you battling an npc an actual actual person this is an actual tournament tonight so it's like a weekly tournament that we run uh from basically it started in our discord server um we run it and uh it's just kind of we had some um really good awareness kind of from a lot of people in the community recently hit them on top you need to wake up you need to wake up i think the p2 made a mistake not going for a cover there because now we just sacred sword the incineroar um and top is guaranteed to wake up now uh so we just clear the field and then the calorax is the only thing left um and with 60 seconds left we should be able to close this one out it's gonna be very very close very close and josh on release it was like 50 pound right my memory is yeah it was like 50 yeah 50 pound 100 percent it was 50 pound um when it when sword and shield released i remember being like i think well did i get let's go as a gift so i didn't pay for it because i remember being like so shocked i was like because it was the first time i bought like since buying like a ds games because it's pretty much all i bought when i used to play like um pokemon or 3ds and stuff like that so it's like super used to like they weren't cheap but they were a lot cheaper so it's like oh wow yeah super expensive super expensive but so worth it i mean like you look at the hours that are put in and played on it it's just like absolutely nuts we've got 10 seconds left can we get the knockout i don't think we're even gonna get around to being able to choose our moves it's another game going to time though we had one last week so more games going to time my opponent did well getting the trick room up their teams amazing jack great game my friend and um i think friends what i'm gonna do is call it a day there because i don't really want to play anymore and deny someone else getting that top spot and getting that that prize for tonight so i'm gonna say let's have a look at our record and see where we finished and then i can get the rental team for everyone participating friendly can we see what our rank is but yeah um if you're wondering gratin if if um if you want to get involved in the tournaments we run them every friday so there'll be one next friday okay we're number four 16 or three that's a nice place to finish on tonight okay so we had a bit of a bumpy start for sure costa putting us taking us right off the tracks game one but it was great to play them so we've pulled it back and managed to do really well and get up to fourth spot so we're not gonna steal first place from anyone which is good um and i think the team's done really well we've been on a pretty nice run since then um so i'm gonna get the rental team for you all to try this team out uh i don't know if we've got the poker pissed let me see if i have i might need to create the poker pissed because i did this team in game oh no i do i do i do have the poker pissed so i just need to make the poker pissed which i can do and then i can post to all of you here as well so manage teams you'll want to share and i have to get rid of some of these old these olding goldies the octos old team was very cool um which one am i gonna get rid of i hate doing this you know i hate that we've only got so many slots to um to have teams now let's get rid of the pc3 team yeah let's get rid of that that makes me sad we did not do well in the the region the region and finals we did not do well so um this is the team make it public there's a scolopeed team there that's the one that's the one that needs to be gone it is back in the box but i haven't taken
