 Hello friends and welcome back to another episode of our VGC 2020 battle series My name is Lee also known as Osiris and today we've got a bit of a treat for you So a brand new team built up all around Gigantamax colossal, so Normally when you see a colossal team, you're gonna be thinking steam engine taking advantage of it that way this team is a bit different We've went weakness policy and we went hard trick room. It's base 30 So it's something that can perform very well under trick room. I've done a few matches with the team so far It's been going really well So hopefully fingers crossed touch wood that continues in this episode and but just to recap the team We've got the colossal there Bronzong's gonna be a trick room set up. We've got Grimsnall there just to help support with fake-out support It's got sucker punch to deal and help with things like chandelier drag-and-pull other things that will cause Bronzong a few issues. We've got the eject button trick strategy there just to give us a little bit of an edge and some More gimmicky things to go along with the team to help us against pausing Dynamax Pokemon Gastrodron is self-explanatory gives us a ground type attacker as well as the storm drain to help support the colossal The toga kiss with the Wacken very I'm trying out a different set I've been playing super standard toga kiss follow me support, but we've put nasty plot on there We've got follow me doesn't gleam And then a slash it's another option as well with all the Rotom's going about Wackenberry feels like it's probably not a bad option at The moment and then conquer their assault vests to round off the team It's always what we'll do at the I will play a couple of games today And then at the end of the week we'll have another episode and I'll post the rental team I'll create a rental team for this one and we may make changes Along the way, but we'll end up with a best version of what I feel the team is Is is kind of capable of so hope you enjoyed today's episode as always if you do enjoy these episodes Do remember to leave a like on the video does really help the channel out Do subscribe to the channel as well for more battle videos Pokemon content in general and Good old time. That's it. So we've got a first opponent 306 from Japan. Let's have a look what they're rocking So I've got a team of drag-a-pull incinero exo drill persimian Rotom wash and Disclops so It's not really heavy trick room team, you know the disc the dust globs is gonna be there for a kind of anti trick room Measure more than anything. I think the thing that we need to worry about probably more than well The two things I guess I really do worry about it's gonna be the Rotom wash and the extra drill both things I probably expect to Dynamics in this match But to be fair, I think if we get our trick room up We should be alright So it's just a question of who we want to support our bronze on with the game with and I think Like grim styles not a bad option To support bronze on with we'll go colossal and I think because of the Rotom We're probably gonna need the gastron in the back And So let's go with that It's a bit of a weird team that put together But I wanted to build something around one of the new gigantic Pokemon that we've got available now and colossal is one of them And it's it's G max move is really good. It's pretty much a rock type variation on Charizards and G max moves So it gives a chips one sixth of the opponent's health every every turn for four turns after the attack Which is pretty nice Unless they're a rock type And that means they don't take any damage. It's a bit like the Charizard if they're fire type Then they don't take any damage. So and it'd be interesting to see if this extra drill is more breaker that gives Bronze on a few issues. It is more breaker. Okay Okay, well it makes getting our trick room up a lot more difficult here and Because it can't really You can't really just Fake it out either because I expect it to go max. I think what we'll do is trick on to it We've got anything we can bring in the back maybe a bit of fodder We can bring in gastron here now what I need to try and do is maneuver around the situation Remember, this is a heart higher ranked player anyway, so they should know what they're doing They're probably wanting to go on chase down the bronze on here Ideally what we want to do is switch in the bronze on so we're kind of just absorbing a bit of this damage We can trick the eject button onto the extra drill and then the next time we can suck a punch it Get rid of it for can do anything and then bronze on Hopefully isn't in the worst of places because you've got to think like the dragon pull next to the extra drill as Pressuring our bronze on so we've not got too many to sorry We don't even need to worry because a bronze on's not even in the picture. What am I talking about? There's the trick. Okay, we get it on to the extra. That's a big thing. Hopefully We don't see oh well even if we do get attacked. It's fine. So we'll just say a couple of dragon darts gastron and take this Focus that's just really handy because even if they steal spike into rims now, then that's fine But they are into that's that's that's super super good for us. Okay, cuz now Like I say we can suck a punch the extra drill and we can trick room with bronze on so we do lose gastron Which isn't ideal it makes a Definitely makes our em roto mosh match up a lot harder, but It should still be all right. It should still be all right. I'm hoping I'm hoping okay, right? They're gonna expect to suck a bunch on they they're gonna max guard But it doesn't matter really doesn't matter at this point. And so we'll get our trick room up and You know drag a pull we got the conceit barrier. It's not gonna be able to knock out our bronze on So we're fine here whether or not my opponent Maybe switches the drag a pull reduces their board position I don't know but really what we want to be doing is getting colossal onto the field as soon as possible And it's not gonna be the easiest thing in the world They're just getting rid of it We forced it We would have been better going for the sucker punch into drag a pull but never mind We're gonna see in sin are all coming now This is actually way better for it for me switching in colossal I prefer to switch in colossal a hundred percent if I if I see an incineral and And especially The phantom force here a hundred percent that just makes me feel so much better So we get the trick room up which is great And now I don't think we're gonna be able I really don't expect us to be able to get our bulldoze off But I'm gonna I'm gonna try I'm gonna try and even though we're getting it off we're not Dynamics but We just want to get kind of gone with our trick room turns as quickly as possible Because that's the thing like we want to be making the most out of them And also by switching grim snarl out at this point It means that sash that we kind of stole through the trick We've still got intact which may come in quite handy in the late game Especially if we just need a couple of sucker punches to finish something off Which is you know a lot of the time the case so we actually get the bulldoze off We do avoid the drag a pull get a little bit of damage onto the incineral which is perfect And we will proc the weakness policy on colossal don't take too much damage from the weakness policy either which is Which is a nice thing, you know You don't want to be taking too much damage from the super effective attack that you're kind of firing out But there's a flablet bronze on Hanging on it's a well-trained bronze on well-trained bronze on and enforce Where's the nutcasee berry It's never taken that attack, but that's fine And we're in a great position right now because we get to bring grim snarl back in now It's two versus four, but we're kind of ready to start rolling with without Pokemon now and We know that the dragon putt isn't sashed So maybe a sucker punch will take it out, but maybe a spirit break will take it down as well. I'm gonna die max I'm gonna go for the the G max volcano. What why is it called? Let's have a look G max bulk alef Boca Alef, okay, we'll go for that into the incident or make sure we get rid of it Um, I don't want to risk the sucker punch into the dragon, but we've already shown it So let's just go for a spirit break into the the dragon pull here and we'll definitely be under speeding it we're gonna see the incident switch out and X control coming that's fine. That's super fine and it is gonna show that mold breaker once again It'd be interesting to see what the dragon putt does here May go for another fancy But we still got turns for our trick room. I think that the things that we want to be doing here is Getting rid of the x-cadrill. That's like a main goal. We can get rid of the x-cadrill That's that's huge for us Especially and when it comes to our trick room ending because like bronzon's gone now So our trick room is be controls gone. So we need to be doing stuff. I get a bit of chip damage there Which is fine And there's the eject button. So I'll go and straight back out the incident is gonna come back in but Don't mind this too much. Depends if we knock out. It could be a bit tricky. Um, if we knock out The dragon pull then, you know grim snarls prime bake out bait, isn't it? Intimate only really hurting And we knock out miss dragon pull let's do it No way. Wow It's weakness policy. That's not what we want to see Hmm It's going for the phantom force as well That's not ideal that is really not ideal. Um, I Don't know what we can do now. Um, okay How many terms of the trick room we've got left to okay, okay Right. Well, I think we still might be alright. Maybe I don't know We're gonna have to go after the incinerator here. We're gonna get faked out regardless. Um, I Can't suck a bunch because the dragon pulse disappeared. So I'm just gonna have to spur break it again Okay, let's see There's a fake out breaking the sash Just got a hope that the phantom force Doesn't knock out I Don't think it will knock out colossal No, no way. Wow. Okay. We take that so comfortably and one more of the rocks is gonna take down the dragon pull So we don't need to worry about that too much now We got one turn a trick room left of the excudal comes in and it actually protects I think a plus two Max flare probably take it down from position. It's in anyway So it'd be doing us a favor if our opponent brings in the excudal to be honest Like I want to see the excudal right now because there's nothing it can do really And we can just suck a punch max flare and it kind of locks my opponent in at that point But they're smart enough to bring in the Rotom Okay, so I think we go max over grow and Do I even worry about the dragon pull? I guess because it could could phantom force again, but if it does I mean it goes down to the rocks, right? We'll probably better go in spirit break into the Rotom just a lot of special attack rather than the sucker punch Then we still got a sucker punch intact. Okay. Well, that's fine. There's now we're gonna double in We're gonna get rid of the exit though. So And the dragon pull It's not fancy probably gone dragon dots. That's what I imagine it to do Okay, now that that's way better now the spirit break goes into the dragon pull and we just get rid of it So and it's gonna be a very very close end game here but We might be able to do it You know, I think if you my opponent with Rotom, you've probably got a prioritized taking down the colossal Because the grassy terrain is up. The grassy terrain is actually gonna put a sash intact We still got sucker punch a couple of sucker punches should take down the Rotom. You could even spirit break it, you know console a beam because Yeah, the Sun's not up is it? I don't think I don't think we actually set the Sun. Did we max flare? No, we just got the grassy train Well, maybe you don't go after colossal then We'll go for an engine power. It's probably our best bet at this point And spirit break because if we suck a punch, I'm scared of the nasty plot And we don't want to be kind of falling into that trap. Okay. It's just going straight for the hydra pump here That's gonna take us down four times a week Didn't know where we take that but the spirit breaks kind of handy Just for the fact that we are lowering their special attack by one. They do reveal the life orb as well so we don't need to worry about Potential citrus berry or anything like that. Well, that's doing nothing Okay But the rocks coming in super handy once again, this is this is why it's so good, you know, the rocks are just amazing I think the rocks that was probably the last turn of the rocks Okay, we suck a bunch of spirit break I Think we can afford to suck a punch here Because the grassy terrain is gonna put a sash back intact, which means we've got room to Actually go for a spirit break the next turn if they nasty plot here It's just a sucker bunch is gonna do more damage gonna do more damage You do get it There we go. Okay. Wow. Okay. I mean, yeah, that's fine We we can afford just a spirit break from now because there's no way I don't think Yeah, we just spare break Because I don't think even a hydro pump takes us out from this range Yeah, they're going trying to catch us out with a nasty plot, but we knew we knew So that's a nice win for us at least and and we got to show off like a bunch of different components with the team as well so I'm really happy about that and You get into our opponent and I hope you guys enjoyed it this one to kick us off with So colossal doing a lot of work in that match as well And even though gasser don't didn't really do much We had to use it for that photo so we could get that kind of position and sometimes you just have to do that You know and we'll take the pill and we'll continue on so one more for today Gonna be a bit of a longer one today. That was a longer match. So maybe the next one's not as long Hopefully, hopefully when I hit the 30 minute mark, I don't want to be hitting the 30 minute mark anymore 20 minutes is like the sweet spot. I feel But like I say, what we'll do is play one more now Then we'll come back later in the week I'll play a couple more and then I'll make sure that the rental team is there The reason why I'm not doing the rental team today is because if I make changes between now and then if I play more matches Which I'll be streaming this team between the two episodes If I make changes, I'd rather give you guys the better version of the team rather than give you two versions of the team I think it's more beneficial that way So I've got our next opponent Emily and they are playing a team of Rotom Heat Taranatar, Venusaur, Him on top and Corvik Knight and the Gastrodron So the Gastrodron is a little bit of a worry for us because it does threaten a colossal kind of on both spectrums from the It's water type attacks and it's ground type attacks other than that though I'm not really too worried about this team like honestly The Venusaur does worry me a little bit because of its Sleep harder, but other than that, I think it's fine. I think maybe It's tricky because I kind of want to bring Togekiss. It's a bit more support against Bronzon From the Max Flair from the Rotom, but otherwise I think Grimsnall's not bad shot in this one as well We'll go Grimsnall And I think I think we'll probably need Gastrodron just for that Gastrodron. What do we do we? Like it does well against everything other than Venusaur Which colossal if we can get it positioned, I mean steamroll, so we'll try we'll see let's hope we can Continue this run. I think one of the things I really like about colossal, especially as a trick room Pokemon Is it's slower than right period and after the weakness policy boost you can knock it out with the max grass move like So easily there is like no problems about doing that Right. Okay. And do you think that the T-tile is definitely weakness policy? I think We can't one of the issues with that is and we can't trick it because it because of its dark type in a course And And bones on take yeah, we should take a max darkness so We could just spirit break the Gastrodron, I guess And go for trick room. Oh, we're just gonna see a rock slide, huh? Okay Well, that's Grimsnall out of here not so good for us really because We don't really want to be switching colossal in right now and Could take a water type attack and it definitely could take a Ground type attack neither of which it wants to be taken especially when it's on Dynamics Okay, so the skull coming out All right, hopefully we got a trick room up and we don't flinch We did we did that we did that to ourselves didn't we? Okay, should we start chasing down the gasser on I don't really want it. I don't want to proc The weakness posting on the tea time, although we are gonna be slower than the tea time So we could potentially go for that And then go for the trick room Because then we'll get if we get the trick room up we get two turns against the tea time And we got stuff on the bronze on that you could potentially do Okay Lynch didn't help me. I had a match earlier where a grim snarl underwaved My my own song has paralyzed three turns in a row Every time trying to get the trick room up three turns. I was like My switch was nearly out the window. I swear Okay, it happens though. Doesn't it happen sometimes? No chance of a flinch here. Just let's hope max darkness doesn't knock us out There's a policy We've done everything wrong. I don't think we've even brought a conk here Have we a max darkness? Yeah, we haven't and we don't even have a weakness policy now This is where a great example of the team going badly wrong. Hmm Actually, is it though? Is it? Because I think Think you have to check I like you probably Go after the gas around here and imagine Do we max overboard? Do we just go for the gas from on? Poison gas really don't mind about the poison gas run. I want to get the tea tail Let's go max over go Let's hope that our weakness policy gets propped in in the run into this max over go I'm kind of hoping that the tea tail goes max darkness into the gastrodom And then the opposing gastrodome goes full the earth part into us now it's gonna chunk us like a Huge amount especially if the max darkness comes out from the tea tail because Get the special defense drop, but we just got it. This is like I think this is like we're just clutching the straws here It's not okay. So the opposing gastrodome. It's not gonna proc a very which is not ideal Max Rockfall, huh? Wow Oh Wow, I did not I literally Didn't think it would do that much damage. Well, there's not really much we can do here. Okay hmm We've had like polar opposites in this episode. We had like the team performing like extremely well in that first game and then Complete opposite of how you really want it to perform in this next game I think it gives you food for thought. I am like I built this team today and I'm still learning how it's functioning and it's a massive error not bringing conco dirt to this to this game If we bought conk it makes things so much easier and I think our opposing gastrodome match it isn't amazing either so I Think that's kind of telling as well. I can see we're kind of struggling against it So it's these are good things though like and these are all things I pass on over to newer players as well You know if you lose like it's not the end of the world Especially if you just practicing like this isn't a tournament or anything. This is like team testing So this is like great information for improving the team in general And whether that be how we've actually just approached the match or whether it's actually a problem with the Pokemon themselves And whether or not we need to like take something into you know support against a gastrodome or something like that But I think it's a combination here. I think it's how we've actually led into this game what we've brought to this game and maybe a few Little areas that we probably have left a little bit vacant that we need to cover going forward But like I say, this is the beauty about testing team and putting together and trying to get a finished article because These matches obviously are the other gold in the haystack that you're kind of looking for But very good game to our opponent Emily there Wonder if I know it is maybe maybe maybe but that wraps it up for today So like I say, we've got two polar opposite games really happy regardless I think today's episode is really good really beneficial on both fronts. We've got that great first game Where we saw the team doing its thing doing what it wants to do And then we got the second game where we're playing against a very good opponent and they've led Excellently obviously seen some exploits in our tea and exploited those areas where the teams kind of lacking a little bit But all in all very good, and we didn't go that 30 minute mark. So What more can we ask for like always though? My friends I mentioned it earlier do drop a like on the video if you've enjoyed it do subscribe to the channel Let me know your thoughts on how you think the team did today on your thoughts on the team in general Gmax colossal and I'll look forward to seeing them all and we'll see you later in the week I will be streaming Thursday evening with this team There may be changes between now and then but do stay tuned for that And we'll have the rental called up later in the week as well with our next episode So until then my friends take care of yourselves and bye. Bye
