 Hi guys and welcome back to another episode of our VGC 2019 battle series We're in the moon series we kicked off this week with a brand new team based and centered around that cure and white We've changed it halfway through the week and yesterday's episode So if you've missed any of the episodes from this week go back and look at the progress and look at why you've changed things Because it's very interesting I think looking at the progression of this team and where we're gonna end up with it a week on Friday If you have missed them and you want to check them out, they'll go back up here I'll put a card in for you lovely people so you can check them out But just to recap the team that is cure and white, arcaneine, sogaleo, tapulele, bomber snow and mandibus Now we had some incredible games yesterday after the changes that we made and I feel a lot more comfortable going into matches today So without further ado, let's get into it But as always before we do if you enjoy the content make sure you leave a like on the video Subscribe to the channel so you stay up to date with all of these Contents these daily battle series and a guide other things that we have on the channel as well And leave your comments in the comment section below because I love more than anything hearing from you lovely people So let's get into it. Mandibus did a good job yesterday when we brought it to the first game The bomber snow has not been doing bad and we were so close yesterday in our last game I'm not gonna say anything, but it's a bit 50-15 that we might have got right We might have got wrong, but you'll have to go back and check that out if you are interested in seeing it Let's go for some music Elite 4 now guardian deity. Yes. So we've got a first opponent of the day from Japan playing a team are Incineroca Olga Katana, Xaneas, Tornades and Amungus. I'm sorry. I'm doing it in that voice as well But this is a perfect team for us to go up against This is a team that we kind of fist a couple of times and said right we need to text and stuff in So here's testing time see if it works. Hopefully it does work, but we'll have to wait and see so We've got the Xaneas and the Kyogre as a restricted pair here We know what this team is going to be trying to do It's got the Tornades to set help up with the tailwind It could potentially have the Zemo so we need to be careful for it there We've got the Incineroa with the fake-out support We've got the Katana that's just gonna be probably a salt vest It could have tailwind could be sashed as well And then the Amungus there is gonna be the trick room check for this team It's likely that the Kyogre is scarfed So we need to approach it in a certain way I think I'm gonna lead off with Tapu Lele for sure because the terrain helps against any potential taunts and things from that Tornades decide to go down that route It also gives us a nice way to indicate what the Kyogre is gonna be doing stops the Incineroa from being so supportive And I think as well what we'll do is do we lead with the Curem in this matchup I do want to bring Curem to this matchup Yeah I do want to bring Mandebus Mandebus is pretty nice here. I'm gonna bring Mandebus I'm gonna bring a bomber snow and I think we'll bring So go Leo as our last one Leave Curem at home boys and girls Sorry Curem, but you'll have a chance in our next game. So Come bring it to every game. Unfortunately, although that would be nice But I think it's because of its niche ability. It's like it's why it's not a top tier Pokemon Like you can't just bring it to every game Like Kyogre you feel yeah, I can bring this to every game crowd on pretty much feel like I can render every game It's only it's 100% I can bring this to pretty much every game But I think some of the other restrictives they have a few limitations where you can't always bring them to every game I'm gonna see a moongus and Incineroa come up for my opponent here It's pretty interesting leave for my opponent Werner a nice kind of Spot already here the moongus has blatantly got the the psychic The psychic resist a berry and that's why it's happy to sit in front of this tapu lele right now So we could potentially just switch in a bonus now We're not gonna see a fake out from that slot and I think what we'll do is get that tail wind up ASAP Because I don't want to get put to sleep. I really don't I don't want Lele not being able to perform later in this game So I'd imagine we'll see a fake out from the Incineroa into the mandal bus We're not grounded and we'll see a sport into the tapu lele slot Of course my opponent has a lot of variations and options that they could go for but I think at the same time That would be probably my play in this situation. Whether or not they do that isn't their thing All together So now fake out. What if we just see a double in on the tapu lele good old tapu lele here There's a knockoff coming out. It's gonna be into the bonus now break our sash And a spore into that slot but into the mandal bus you crazy person Okay, this person does not play Pokemon too much because you do not know your abilities So overcoat does give us protection against all and powder moves so they obviously didn't know that which is a little bit frustrating for us because and I Kind of don't want a bomber so out right now because the Kyoga can just come in at any point Now we could get so galore say good so go later in But at the same time, it's a little bit I think tapu lele is the best thing to bring in right now and we just I think Yeah, we far play far play into the movies get some damage off onto it. We've got the tail wind up So we're not in too bad a spot Could have just kept the tapu lele in there I'll play coming out Into the man of us, but we have had that seed activated. So it's not gonna be doing too much It's going for the spore again. What are you doing? What are you doing? I Don't think this place like time and out, but I just don't get it. I don't get it. I do not get it Okay, let's get rid of this pesky movies and in case it switches out now. Let's just snarl Because if the Kyoga comes in Okay, we're not gonna see that there's a resist very but I think it's in It's had enough damage done to it now. Well, we'll be able to take it out Would actually does survive But the snarl is gonna be enough to take it down before I can actually do anything The insinceros left a bit unchecked, but is it just gonna knock off again? I mean it can take away our scarf, but at this point not really too worried about that Yeah, because the Kyoga probably comes in now, but with the emungus out the way Like the insinceros the one thing that we want to get want to remove and there's only is coming in Well, we just sideshock and snarl it it could see it protect 100% like I would not surprise me at all But if the insincero takes it down here it opens the door for Sougalaya to come in Makes things a lot easier. Um And I think at this point we want to just make sure that we've got a bomber snarl in the back To come in disrupt the the rain when that does hit the field. Yeah, we're just seeing a zoonish protector. My opponent is actually Making some plays here or a move to the Lele from the field, I reckon Um, but like I said, it doesn't really matter too much now because we've got the Sougalaya to come in in the back Um and disrupt a lot. We could super power the insincero. We could sunset strike. Okay, so we're going to actually see you turn The Kyogre coming Kyogre Maybe they haven't brought the car. Of course they brought the Kyogre And there's the rain There's the rain I tell when pit is out, which is a little bit frustrating. But we can bring in Bring back our good old bomber snarl I could snarl and just bulldoze as well, but Could switch straight out into Sougalaya Because I feel like insincero comes in and just snarl Because I think the Kyogre switches straight back out and the insincero comes in And the zonius goes for the Geomancy It's just I think this turn is probably the turn where our psychic terrain runs out Oh, you're staying in just water spot Okay All right, that's I don't really understand water spouting in front of an bomber snarl that would take it and really would threaten your Kyogre knockout But it's paid off for them here. We are able to get the snarl Onto both targets, but Um The water spout is threatening and threatening us this turn. Um And we could hope that my opponent goes Oh, this is a turn that they don't water spout. I don't think I don't think they do water spout here At the same time if we don't if we underestimate the play just the water spout and dazzling gleam I think We could be in a lot of trouble And so I kind of want a wide guard until when And hope that the kyogre doesn't switch up for the insincero if it does then It's going to be difficult to kind of bring us back Okay, so we're not going to see that I'm going to get the wide guard off Let me see. Oh, there's a moon blast. We needed that We oh, it's intersogalel Huh There's a water spout Problem is we're not going to be able to outspeed this Zernius still without sogalel So the match is pretty it's still pretty done like we We shouldn't have allowed the zernius to get the um, I mean we can stun steel strike and we can Yeah, it's difficult now. It's really difficult because we can't we've not really got many options to deal with this Uh, I kind of blame How things would like how we approached it at the start of the turn we kind of expected our opponent to do one thing and um Doing weird things It's obviously won them the game in the end, but at the same time it's it has made it a bit Not awkward for us. Uh, we are going to be able to um Get the Sunseal Strike, but at the same time I just feel like We're still not in a great place We're not in a great place to talk because we still don't outspeed the zernius without sogalel um, one thing we could potentially do is Switch out sogalel Into obama snow. We're not gaining any traction here though because we're still being the same place Unless we can get a bulldoze off with obama snow. Um, I think we take A moon blast from this room plus one moon blast from zernius. Unfortunately Hmm It's a fake out. Yeah Moon blast into Mandy No, Mandy doesn't take it Hmm So I guess the one thing we could hope for and it's no hope at all There's no hope. There is no hope. We just lose this game Um, yeah And I think we I think this is a game we could have won. We've got the tools to do it It's just we've not executed it at all right. We've not executed it at all um Yeah, the hill the hill is gonna Jank Up sogalel this next turn. I mean we could try and just be Get the score a little bit down so we're not losing as badly. I predict there's any to protect here So we can get the incident or super power But at the same time the hill kills our sogalel and if that doesn't Take us down then the bulldoze from our own obama snow will do the dirty work anyway Bye-bye sogalel self-destruction Uh, no, I think the big thing there was not letting the zernius get the Get its geometry up Um, once the geometry is up and because we took so much like we banked on the coyote and not staying in Wasp Island and taking so much damage with sogalel It put us so far behind at that point like In this team when we're going up against zernius we need to have a very healthy sogalel to to help deal with The likes of zernius and stuff like that and when it just becomes A little bit too far gone with with damage Then it's hard to kind of maneuver into positions where we can bring it back But uh, good game to my opponent. We will gracefully forfeit and we'll move on To our next game of the episode but they're taking their time Imagine if they forfeit and it's like a double forfeit tie be the first time I've ever had Is that a tie is it no we forfeit But good game good game Still some things to take from that matchup as well and how we're approaching it and how we need to protect certain pokemon there um At the cure and would have probably been not a bad pokemon to bring um And we're still I don't know if i'm massively convinced with the why god and sogalel it is useful But whenever you're kind of locked into why god with sogalel it means you're not attacking with it And that's one thing i'm not a massive fan of because I like sogalel to be an attacking threat I don't like it to be passive and although the support is really Really useful sometimes. I think it is sometimes a little bit too predictable But we've got our next opponent of the day playing a team of good It's another one we can take abomas no too. Kyogre, Lugia, Ludicolor, Raichu Serena and Crocodile, a little crocodile. So um, yeah Abomas no is really good here disrupts the rain completely It hits the Kyogre the Ludi the Serena the crocodile and the Lugia for really good damage Breaks potential sashes that we've got on the Raichu as well So I think it's definitely something we want in this match I also think that Manderbuzz can do a really nice job here, especially against that Lugia with snarl support Tabulele is also going to be very useful. Um, I do as I say, I want to bring the abomas now and I think for our last slot, what do we want? Do we want sogalel here? Um, it's not bad against Lugia for sure um It's not bad against the majority of this team, apart from the Crocodile Whereas the Kyurum, what are we doing with the Kyurum? We can hit the Lugia for good damage um The Ludi Serena the Crocodile on bad Um But I think the sogalel kind of prefer just for its Do I? Yeah, yeah, let's go sogalel And see how we get The other thing I'm noticing with the team is when I'm wanting to select certain things I'm having to leave more often than not one restricted behind Which does put you at a disadvantage when your opponents bring in both of theirs. So Um, but it's just part and parcel of using a bit more of an each Pokemon. I think Again, we're going to see Serena. We're going to see Lugia come out for my opponent So we'll get that psychic seed activated Um Now what do we tailwind to match their tailwind? Do we snarl? So much there. I think we tailwind. They probably tailwind regardless. Um Do they attack with Serena though? That's the question Or do I just snarl because I can tailwind at any point I think snarling is probably going to get us the the only thing is with snarling is that if the Lugia goes for the z tailwind Um It overrides any stat reduction, doesn't it? It makes me want to just I'm gonna I'm gonna side shock into the Serena I think mind about isn't a bad answer to Lugia, but it's just the the z tailwind It could be problematic, which I totally expect here. So here we go But at the same time those aerobat blasts are pretty weak pretty weak But it's nice just keeping up with the tailwind. It means Lele gets another another pop at something next turn If you need it to and as you can we're gonna see Kyogre come in I think Which I don't mind at all because It does mean that we can snipe it a little bit or for a little bit of damage No, it's a crook the crookadile Crooked a dial. Okay. That's that's all right. Um, we'll snarl And we'll bring in Obama snow Hopefully you don't say like rock slide Aero blast into the Lele slot Because if we've got a sash intact going into this next turn Does help Oh That's a miss click No, no, no, no, it's not oh crap Oh my gosh That is like the most dedicated Holy crap I can't believe we actually took that With both Plus six Crookadile avoids there, which is a little bit annoying Um Wow You're a madman you are indeed a madman And we have to sack some stuff here, don't we? I mean We roost And we protect because the crook goes down this next turn we can't protect mana buzz. Unfortunately if we can get a cheeky roost off Somehow if the rock slide misses us Oh, it's gone earthquake. What's the luge? Is the luge gonna actually not attack the man of us? Dangaroos dangaroos indeed This is what ice yard would have come in very useful Yeah, so they could go down Normally when you create your partner to activate like something like that You um, you normally You normally don't want to be doing as much damage Um to your To your partner in pokemon to be honest, but I mean It's fine, isn't it? It's fine Um, let's go dazzling gleam that should be enough to get the serena and uh, let's go a blizzard as well Because it'll do a good chunk to the luge It depends where the luge is going to target into it's probably into the lele arabast is it into Lele, but it doesn't mean we get a blizzard off. Wow. We actually take that what I can't believe We actually take that that's madness And that's enough to get the lugea Okay, that's good That's really good for us tabulele goes down to the hill. She's a little bit annoying but she's fine tail and pit is out tail and pit is out and is it kayoga It's got to be kayoga, hasn't it? It has to be coga Keogra Here we go. All right. We got why god we were talking about it's none not so usefulness Before is it scarf kayoga? Because we could white guard in grass knot here Could all go wrong Could all go wrong, but every tone could always go wrong. Couldn't it we will white guard and we will go for that Cheeky little grass knot And hope they lock into water spot Because they expect they will If it's scarfed 100% they lock into it. I think What about there we go, okay Now we should be able to win this one And there's the grass knot Which is not quite enough, but it is enough to To win us this game for sure because the water spa is going to be doing absolutely nothing now We will knock off and we will Well, we don't even need to we know it's probably locked into water spa So, I mean we just white guard again and let obama snow have all of all the glory All the glory in the world obama snow at least we can come back with a victory here My opponent just forfeit. So that is very good game. So guys It's been an interesting episode Um, we've had one not so good game and one Really positive game We've seen the the craziest things as well with the arrow blasting to the quick dial Anger point it could have went totally wrong But we managed to kind of come back from a crazy game and a really nice exciting one to feature today So we will wrap things up there guys.
