 Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our Pokemon VGC 2019 Battle Series. I hope you're all well and as we kicked off earlier in the week this week it's been a bit different from usual on the channel. We are playing a brand new team every single day of this week and some of them a bit more gimmicky than others but that is the whole premise of this week going into the end of the week where we're going to do a poll on the five teams that you played throughout the week. You guys can vote to see which one you'd like to see a little bit more of going into next week's episodes before we go into the Ultra Series but if you've missed any of the past episodes from the last couple of days then go back up here I'll link that for you so you can go and check them out. We featured Mewtwo Groud on yesterday and then the day before that we featured Faramo so with that dustman across my Kyoga so it was a lot of fun we've had loads of really good games so far hopefully we can continue them on in today's episode and I will unveil the team for you right now which is going to be this team. It looks a little bit strange on face value well I mean five of the pokemon in the team kind of looks standard don't they but there's one pokemon sticking out like a sothum in there and that is going to be that little old go guys that we've got so go guys the basic premise of it is it has got the z move it's got access to z destiny bond it's got the access to the never-ending nightmare which can kill a lunala unintimidated straight through shadow shield we might like to add it's um it's going to be a nice support for the team in general it's also got trick or treat as well so we can trick or treat z trick or treat something which if you didn't know already z trick or treat gives you a boost in every single stat by one across the board so it's pretty nice if we can get boosted up we've got psych up on lunala that we can take advantage of with the go guys and with the lunala but on top of that we can trick or treat opponents and then hit them where the super super effective moon guys beam we can hit them with a knockoff from iron sineral and do all sorts of different shenanigans with this little go guys it's got a base speed of 99 so it does that speed other opposing lunas which is really nice so we don't even need to factor in the speed tire anything like that and we've also got the z destiny bond as well which gives us room to set up with other stuff and get the trick room up maybe or a geomancy or bonzania so i think it'll work it's a bit gimmicky completely gimmicky but you know let's give it a try it's going to be a lot of fun so without further ado let's get into today's episode guys as always if you enjoy this sort of content please remember to drop a like on the video subscribe to the channel so you don't miss these daily battle series episodes our flinch squad circuit our re streams our guide series and everything else pokemon related on the channel i'm looking forward to playing this go guys star it's going to be a lot of fun go guys it's a cool pokemon isn't it like i i liked it back in x and y when it got revealed you know i think it was x and y wasn't it and then the little the big the little the extra large the large all the different sizes that we see with it but the nice thing is about it is it does have different base speed for different ones so this one's the fastest one the teeny teeny one but i do feel like you can do a job and we're going to try and see if we can do it today and if it takes a little bit too long to find opponent guys i'll just cut straight back to when we do bump into someone so we've got our first opponent of the episode so we're kicking right into it and let's hop straight into team preview so the first team we're going up against today is from a Japanese player looks like the clan and qr code consisting of lunala kaioga type of cocoa ferrithon incinero and serena so double grass on there we've got the support option with the incinero the serena kind of indicating that it may be chosk off kaioga but you can't discount that because you've got the tailwind support there from the lunala that could come in useful to support kaioga if it has got a z move there now what are we going to do i think we'll probably go the i really want to go go geist here um if we can not be intimidated which is the big question here then we can pick up a knockout onto that lunala pretty pretty easily turn one um i think we'll go lunala as well uh zoneus for sure and we because of the ferrithon we definitely need the incinero and also that lunala as well it does give us a little bit of support there so let's see how this team gets on today we're locking good luck to my opponent and hopefully we can get this cool guy's going because i do really like the idea of it i don't know if it'll work perfectly but this is the thing like we're trying it out it's going to be fun this week obviously if the the text and things that we've got work out then it's just a bonus isn't it but you can never tell it always depends on the matchups and things like that i don't think this team is like super balanced in general but like the the main part of it is balanced enough for us to do some stuff we're gonna see the incinero and the serena come out for us to warn so we have to be a little bit i'm gonna see that there's a focus sash on the serena and i have papa berry on that incinero which is interesting focus sash i love fresh gizan ability as well you've got to think like it's such a good ability right um the incinero does give us a few headaches i think what we could probably do is just switch the go guys out now keep it around for later when that lunala comes back on the field it also doesn't do too bad against potential kayakers as well and we'll just protect lunala here and siri for some reason is activating on my phone and it's like literally spelled out exactly what i've just said it was so weird siri is weird so we'll get the incinero in get that intimidate onto both of these physical attackers it's very nice it gives us a bit of alleviation against that opposing incinero going into the next turn as we just protect and preserve that shadow shield is what we really want to be doing here so i'm gonna see a power whip into lunala try and break that shadow shield and a knockoff into oh our incinero okay just covering i guess as well and trying to get rid of that go guys okay so um we're still not out of the woods by any stretch of the imagination um then we can we can't fake out the opposing incinero that's that that's the problem but we can double the serena now we will lose our lunala doing this that's the only problem um which we don't really want to do and switching anything in we'll take a knockoff um go guys could probably come in and deal with it a lot better than anything else and considering that i think yeah we'll go on to go guys it should take a minus one knockoff it's got the z move as well remember so it's not as powerful as you would kind of imagine it to be if we see a power whip and a knockoff into that slot it's probably our best option we don't want to be switching zonius into this slot to be taking a knockoff so there's the power whip it's minus one wow it does with more than what i expected uh okay we get the u turn and yeah that's that's broke the sash at least for us so that's good we can get zonius in i doubt there's going to be a knockoff into that slot once again unless my opponent's got like mega jedi yoda powers but you never know i would say we'll see a knockoff into that gore geist we're hoping it can stick around just for like one more turn come on please gore geist do this for us yes we can we can do it all right that's good right now we're in a nice position to go for this geomancy here um we need to be a bit careful obviously of rolls and stuff like that but we could potentially go for z destiny bond which would be quite nice because it does draw in all of these nasty attacks that we're going to be having to deal with from from both targets and especially if they go raw as well then at least we can get around it that way so i will go the the z destiny bond i don't imagine the serena taking us down unless it's got a knockoff but now we're going to see that switch out and if we can get rid of that incineral it makes such a difference to us going into the the latter parts of this this game we are going to see the geomancy here because it frees up uh lunala a lot more going into the rest of the game especially if the the kyogre is the pokemon that my opponent's brought maybe they do see two ghost types incineral they think maybe lunala's not great here although it can do a lot of work against what we've got but here we go we're gonna at least get a z move off with gore geist so at least doing something protecting especially if we see a roll i mean a roll here would be ideal because then we get far uh incineral in the next time we've got the fake out and uh we can go from there because we put on a lot of pressure on that ferrithon as well there it is okay so we preserve gogeist that's pretty good so that's nice uh and get perfectly get incineral in which is ideal isn't it get that intimidate onto both targets we know about the roar as well um i think we can probably take a geo uh a gyro ball from the opposing ferrithon um i kind of want to just dazzle here and just fake out the opposing incineral just to prevent that roar again because two dazzles should take this incineral down it has got the eye of papery it's not a salt vest so at least we know that um so it should be doing about 50 percent and then the next turn what we can do which is even better now because we can just moon blast the incineral this next turn flare blitz that slot which makes it so much more manageable and with the intimidate already out on the field from my opponent there's not really any way for them other than bringing them the kayaga to weaken our flare blitz into that ferrithon slot so we will just like i say moon blast and flare blitz the ferrithon and gogeist even though it's not featuring right now it's still done a big job it's allowed that it's the setup it's geometry which otherwise we would have been rolled out and not had any uses so so we're holding homage to gogeist right now we've still got one more game with it to go after this as well so we can't we can't get too down about it right my opponent's got to feel a bit pinned in here with the ferrithon potentially going to go down to a flare blitz this turn wants to switch out you want to see the kayaga come in if you've got the kayaga but then you're bringing kayaga in on a potential moon blast makes the game a lot more difficult um and i feel like we're in a decent position here i've never noticed zernis has x's on its eyes before that's really interesting it's a cool little quirk design isn't it there i'm gonna see serena come back in now for my opponent so we'll be able to remove this from the field moon blast should be enough to uh easily take down this incinera so we'll get rid of the cat and as always if i haven't mentioned as well guys as always the team is in the description down below if you want to check it out try it out go ahead have fun with it and do whatever you want but if you do or as always do let me know how you find the team and what shenanigans you get up to with it so we do take the serena down we've got two pokemon left it's potentially a lunar like coming in with the ferrithon we've got to be a bit more careful oh it's kayaga kayaga okay we've got to be a bit more careful with that incinera now because it's unlikely that we take down the kayaga and won't hit um and we don't want to just freely i think what we'll do is sack sack good old go guys tier let me get the intimidate back in with incinera on that ferrithon which is super important we can then have the fake out pressure for that kayaga um and we should get a good idea maybe what item this kayaga's holding just by this frisk as well so really invaluable turn to even bring it in so choice scarf and a guave berry perfect i mean it's such a good ability like i keep going on about but i mean just knowing like it's half the battle knowing what your opponent is going to be doing like what items they've got it makes it so much easier to approach this is one of the things i say in the ultra guides is because we now know that the um the primals have to be carrying those those orbs it makes them so much easier to deal with because the speed tiering for them is just obvious you know the benchmarks that they they can't hit maximum can't hit minimum and you can just work around them i mean with frisk it's kind of doing the same sort of thing you know what benchmarks these pokemon have and like it's it's pretty easy for us now just to go for a a moon blast and a fake out into the kayaga because we don't really worry too much about the ferrithon like i say minus one jarra ball we should be taking that with with zernius so we don't really worry about that too much we know that it's got the scarf we know that can't protect on this fake out moon blasts will be more than enough to uh to get it we just don't want to risk it hanging on being a bit of a bulky variety and then taking our cinema down which is our wincon now because once the rain goes there's no way that this this um oh come on critical hit really that's because we've been saying we can take the minus one we've got lunar let's come in now so it's fine and let's moon guys beam is going to be more than enough to pick up the knockout onto this ferrithon to take game one for us today so go guys doing go guys doing some work in this one so it's not done itself any harm at all and it's done itself proud we're proud of you go guys and that's the forfeit so good game to my opponent and we'll swiftly move into game two and i don't know about all of the teams to try this week but the go guys i there's something about it i really just love um it really just kind of screams to me play me play me play me and i feel like there's a lot more to it and a lot more potential to the whole build as well with the go guys then maybe some of the other teams that we test this week uh the go guys just seems i think it's a that base 99 speed bracket that you can potentially get with it they can throw your opponents off so yeah i just in love with go guys i am but we'll search for an ex opponent if it does take a little while i'll obviously cut back but hopefully it doesn't it's got the phone out it normally works and there we go there we go we've got an ex opponent of the episode will hop straight into team preview so our next opponent today going up against the good old go guys there's gonna be running a team of incinero dustmen across my park here serena katana and landers theory informed so we've got the restricted combination of the dustmen across my park here it's an unusual combination of pokemon not one that i've really seen too much of before um but you're looking at probably quite a heavy trick room team you know the park has probably got trick room support could potentially have the z move as well but we can always frisk can't we you know there's a support option in the double intimidate with the incinero on the landers you've got the queen your majesty ability so we have to be a bit careful around our fake out for that serena and then the katana i think one thing we definitely want to bring here is the incinero the intimidate it's going to be so useful against incinero dustmen across my serena landers and it does such a good job against that katana and then you know park here obviously we need zernius so i think we're going to lead off with the gogeist the lunala incinero and zernius again or have i just said zernius twice we'll soon find out but we're bringing gogeist that's all we know we just know that it's all about the gogeist it's a gogeist shot i hope i can get a really nice like little shot of gogeist in this match so we can use it as the thumbnail i should be thinking about the game not the thumbnail okay so there's little gogeist and a little lunala well big big big bat big bat let out with palkia and incinero okay right i'll go out berry and i need to be paying more attention more attention needs to be had um okay i think what we do is hmm could z destiny bond take down incinero makes things a hell of a lot easier doesn't it going into the rest of this game but then it's too z destiny bonds isn't it um we could like i have to worry about the palkia of course because it will add speed gogeist if it is max speed um one thing we could do is z trick or treat into the park here and moon guys beam it and that will take it down for sure yeah let's do that let's do it we're in our second game it's fine isn't it z move off here we go we've got to do it at least once this episode if we don't do it let's stop bottling it and do it little gogeist your emo hair is gonna just yeah trick or treat get this amazing animation which is one of the coolest like move animations ever will get palkia that goes typing we'll throw out a big moon guys beam hopefully this is enough we've got the spooky player on lunala remember so it is boosted so hoping it should be enough to pick up the knock oh no knock off lunala you've lost your spooky plate this is not good no oh that palkia you know the worst thing about it as well is um we can't fake it out now okay we're gonna get we're gonna have to get incineroid we're gonna have to try and get around these trick or turns please let's not see like a hydra vortex or something into that palkia i know i missed the frisk onto it earlier so i don't know what item it's holding imagine the z move though go guys just protect your little self don't worry about it we'll get we'll get out of this trick room soon flablets yeah and and what we're gonna see spatial round doubling in perfect remember we can't we can't fake out that palkia um now we could switch into zen keep go guys for later which i really would like to do and get it back onto the other side of the field by just going for a u-turn into the palkia pick it up the knock out there and i'm hoping we can do that because we've got to try and preserve incinero for the dust man the cross man i'm gonna try and see some cheeky fake out getting around with that serena coming in and it's queenly majesty ability but i'm sorry your majesty we ain't falling for it this time we're going straight for that u-turn bye bye palkia and that is enough and we'll be able to get little old go guys back out onto the field staring down the face of danger so there we go and it's all right because we've got that nice switch back into incinero now so we can do this we can do this we can protect the pumpkin first quarter you hold in the mago berry mago hey mago mango italiano right incinero coming in just ignore me for the moment it's going to be all fine okay so get the internet off onto both of us we need to see how these trick room turns which one of the things that i do worry about is faint knockoff into our zenius slot it might not be so good but i'm gonna i'm just gonna pull up protect anyway it's not the end of the world if that happens we'll get incinero back in protect our little pumpkin there we go incinero coming back onto the field get this intimidate onto the cat and the queen over there i'll just protect no faint that's all we want no faint nothing good good good stuff good stuff a jump kick no you've predicted perfectly okay nice nice predict there miss arena um incinero is super important to us it really is uh how many turns the trick room we've got left we've got one okay incinero is so important to us like too important to us um to let it go down we could go for the two turn the thing is i'm kind of i'm not really feeling like i want to do that though um and we can't fake out of course so i'm just gonna switch back into go guys i'm not gonna go for the gmancy i'm just gonna go for a straight up dazzle because incinero is probably gonna try to look and get the knockoff onto zenius like i definitely would a high jump kick coming out into that slot will be perfect you go out berry demago berry you turn no oh we don't want that duskman the cross we're gonna hit the field now hope we see a high jump kick come on serena do this we could have went for a gmancy as well but the risk was too much and obviously with this thing in the back we don't want to wear haha there we go can't you can't kitty kitty can miss serena this one take it down it'll just proc that berry dimensions turn back to normal um i think we'll get lunala onto the field now for zonius and do we just go for a phantom force into the cross map i think we do we'll probably see the incinero come in for that serena now um but we might see trick rooms there which would do us like if the serena stays on the field that'd be perfect because we'll get the phantom force down and then if they do decide to bring in the incinero ah you see it's not gonna happen it's just we wouldn't have been intimidated if they don't switch it here because we'll be out of the way avoiding it but now we are going to be intimidated but if the trick room does go up it's fine because at least we'll be dodging a taxes next turn and we should imagine trick room to go up photon geyser though just into that slot so it's fine we'll be able to get incinero back onto the field and we can go for that into the the necrosma slot so preserve lunala for later on we needed to deal with that necrosma we could have doubled there i mean but yeah it's protecting you can't protect on phantom force though so we could have done this it breaks you protect all right that's the one thing we didn't want to do but that's the one thing we didn't want to do where he is where you going into go guys poor little go guys is gonna go down now no it survives oh my gosh go guys do you are you are a champion a champion among men um what we will do is go for the destiny bond and we will go for a the fly blitz yeah um destiny bond because if the incinero takes us down this is the thing like we want it to take us down here no you're trying to get around the fake out once again sneaky cannot be sneaky but i mean if the yeah if the necrosma decides to take us down then i'm also fine with that we'll get this fly blitz this should put us into our berry range prokka berry um i don't think it takes us no it doesn't take us down yep berry yummy yummy okay so let's see where you going photon geyser it's into the are you gonna take us down going downtown go guys you've done so well my little friend you took down that big bad necrosma with you good job good good job right zonius in we haven't got access to fake out they have with their incinero um they've also got access to feints as well like you mentioned earlier we're in a similar situation but there's no trick room this time so it's all it's all good so i'm just gonna yeah i'm gonna fly blitz the serena because i don't think i'm gonna geomancy as well yeah no no fake out coming out no pressure so we'll get this geomancy i mean we might see a high jump kick from the serena into the incinero but it's detracting attention away from the zonius if it does that so it means we will definitely see how this turn but we could see it double up into the zonius to be honest power whip and flare blitz which okay predicting the switch maybe there now bye bye serena incinero is definitely not going to take out zonius down from who does survive just hanging on there and flare blitz into zonius no it's all but done it's all but done because we can just we can just dazzle dazzle dazzle dazzle dazzle and you turn into the incinero we'll probably proc a berry here i would imagine but we really like i don't want to moon blast the incinero like we could take it down it leaves the serena open take our incinero down oh help in hand we should have went for that moon blast open hand flare blitz oh it's just a but berry range who gets the who wins the speed oh it's not but berry range at all oh we don't want to lose to an incinero here okay we are 100% going to go down to a help in hand flare blitz from this incinero there's no way we take that i don't think not with zern but the recall might be what saves our bacon oh zern actually takes it okay zonius i take back everything i said while we psych up with our lunala just for the overkill and go for that moon blast and take another win for this lovely team so we're not doing bad with our teams this week it's been pretty decent so um i hope you guys have enjoyed it we didn't get to see some of the more me me stuff we could do with go guys like the trick or treat uh z trick or treat psych up sort of stuff the z trick or treat is amazing because it gives you the plus one across the board there and then the psych up next to the lunala it's probably because there's a lot of incinero out in this format and uh it does make it a bit more difficult to kind of execute that but as a an end game situation it would be very good and i'm sorry i've got i feel like i've got something in my eye i really do so if i keep rubbing it and i'm like oh what's going on that's why um but yeah the go guys has been a really fun team to play today i hope you guys have enjoyed it remember that we'll be putting this team into the poll at the end of the week for you guys to vote on going into next week if you'd like to see a bit more of it because i feel like there's a lot more to see from this team as well so just keep this one in mind for when the voting starts on friday but we're going to end it up there guys thank you so much for tuning in we'll be back with another wacky team tomorrow so do tune in for that have a great evening afternoon morning whatever time of day it is wherever you are in the world take care of yourselves and i'll see you for the next one so until then take care and bye bye
