 Hi everyone, I hope you're all well having a great day. Thank you so much for tuning in to another episode of our Pokemon VGC 2019 Battle Series, but it is Friday. So getting into today's episode I did say in our last episode that we've spiced things up a little bit with this Ultra and Acrosma and Zonius team that we've been playing since the introduction of the Ultra series I'm a little bit sad to see it go because we're gonna be saying goodbye to it today And obviously getting ready for a new team come Monday, so do not miss that Remember we've got a poll up at the moment on the YouTube channel asking what call you'd like to most see Starting on Monday next week, so go ahead vote over there if there are options in the poll on there for teams that you'd like to see Just leave a comment and I will make sure to feature whatever comes out on top But don't be sad if what you vote before doesn't get played We've got so much time in the Ultra series to explore so many different archetypes So we're gonna be able to have time for everything in this series And I'll make sure to cover as many things as you guys would like to see going forward But getting on to today's team. I did say it was gonna be a bit spicy. So here we go Let's have a look. We've got rid of the salamence. We've kept it lately. That's been doing a great job We've got a light screen on there. We haven't got the redirection anymore But we've got the introduction of mega meta grass now One of the things that we did say over the last couple of days and discussions in the comments with you guys And thank you so much for those as well It was the little bit of a weakness that we've got to the Zonius now We're relying quite heavily on making those quite ballsy plays and positioning with the tabulae leg at the Z move into the Zonius But that's kind of a two-turn setup. It's not ideal So we've introduced the meta grass into the team meta mega mega meta grass if I can even get my words out Right, which is gonna be a lot better for dealing with things like Zonius and just pressuring it instantly And making them really think twice about Geomancing in front of us So as always the team pace and the role pace are down in the description You can check those out and try it out if you'd like to and if you do is always let me know what your thoughts are on the team And without further ado, I guess we'll just jump straight into today's episode As always if you enjoy the content on the on the channel Make sure you do leave a like on this video does really help out the the the channel in general though guys Make sure you do subscribe to the channel so you don't miss any more daily battle series I we obviously have a guide series more guides coming next week Which is very exciting with all the other mega Pokemon that we'll be featuring and so we'll hop in to our next game Hopefully it doesn't take too long again if it does I will I'll just cut to it And we'll come straight back when I bump into another opponent And we have our first opponent of the episode so I'll hop straight into it into team preview here We go we're going up against Umbrian pherothone goththel landeris therian Kyogre and rikwaza so we've got a kyogre rikwaza call We've got the goththel that's going to trap things in give Opponent a little bit better positioning for making sure that their board position Punishes what we've got on the field. So we need to be very careful around that. I would say maybe It's likely to see scarfed kyogre in this team and then you've got the the Umbrian there I don't really know what that does other than snarl it can foul play It's very bulky as well. So we need to make sure that we're dealing with that Well enough and then the pherothone as well. They're gonna check Azernius There's the intimidate from the landeris as well, which is probably got maybe the Z move I can't discount it on something else as well. So How are we gonna approach this one? Hmm? I think the one thing that we want we want to try and avoid is being trapped in with a Tap of Lele here and we definitely want pivots to lead out with so that would either be incinero landeris theory and I think Hmm, I do like the idea of Metagross here. It does become a bit more difficult with the Umbrian I think if we go incinerole Yeah, incinerole because of the pherothones we can pivot out there That's gone across my let's go Metagross and I think we definitely need Azernius Let's go Azernius and bring these four and get into the first game today So good luck to my opponent Seen some mad combinations of Pokemon and I did say last week I would ladder up in my spare time to get us a little bit higher going into our next episodes Our next matches But one of the things I've had a problem with this week, which has kind of stopped me doing it is my Wi-Fi at home So once it's resolved, I will spend some time dedicated to getting up a good portion on the ladder We've had some actual suggestions to Implement some changes to show the bottom screen one was searching for opponents so we can see my rating and things like that So make sure that it's all implemented for next week's episode So the aesthetics of the the episode should be looking a lot better And if you've got any suggestions as well that you'd like to see going into these games Make sure you do let me know and I'll try to make sure that we can cover them going forward We're gonna see the primal cryoga the Gothel come up for my opponent now One of the things I could do we could sack in Cinero at the cost of getting rid of The problem is I don't really want to just lose Incineroar so freely I'd rather fake out the cryoga because we need the incineroar to deal with The ferrithon late game we need to keep that in mind if the ferrithon is being brought here Which it's likely it has to deal with the zernius I'm happiest allowing the trick room to be set up here And going for a ultra burst and getting this moon guys beam into the goth hotel rather than You know and letting the trick room go up rather than not letting the trick room go up and taking a water spout I don't know I just impose You know an ultranocrosm will be able to take it but incineroar is not going to be taking that at all so Yeah, we're gonna see the protect from the cryoga, which is fine And We do ultra burst and there was an all game. Okay, so we just see the double protect there. Hmm Now could we I don't know if we're gonna be able to take down the cryoga? With Ultranocrosm with the z move especially with the Lele not been out on the field Does my opponent have the switch in for the z move they do have it in Umbrian Maybe the ferrithon is not a bad switching either if you go to trick room route But we just revealed the moon guys beam, so I mean that's something that my opponent has to think about I'm gonna try and you turn out into that slot and I'm gonna go for the the light that burns this guy into the cryoga We've got to try and damage it as much as we can I just really don't okay, so the goth hotel gonna switch out Umbrian gonna hit the field they're gonna try and take that moon guys beam here But not gonna happen. We are gonna be able to get this into the cryoga. Obviously, I'll have to cut this again Be nice going into next week and not having to cut every z move that we fire off But we'll be right back my friends And it is gonna be into the cryoga here. Can we pick up the knockout? I mean that would be incredible for in Senor would be so grateful if fair we can knock out the cryoga. I'm not Really confident, but We do enough to it. We do enough to it if it's water spotted here. That's yeah, it's origin pulse the crossmer avoids It's a little bit unfortunate Because we probably will yeah, we're losing Senor unfortunately But we can bring in Azernius here. Yeah, we've got a really good opportunity to go for a Geomancy If it is if it the problem is if it is the The ferrithon and the back things do get very difficult and some one thing we didn't want to do is lose that the Incinero But it's a bit of an oversight for my side of things. I think what we could potentially do is I want to go moon guys beam into the cryoga, but I'm a little bit afraid in case it doesn't pick up the knockout there So I'm just gonna go for the size shock just to make sure cuz yeah I was expecting maybe to see the gofford's help come in, but we're not gonna see that We're gonna be able to just remove it from the field Keep our little Zernius safe And be able to get the Geomancy off which does help us out a bunch especially against this Umbrian now The Umbrian has a couple of options here. It can go for I think the one thing that we would hate to see is Psycup here But it can go for a snarl To kind of get around the boosts a little bit it can go for file play into necrosma There's a snarl We're likely to see the goth hotel come back in now, but I think a double up into that slot would be enough to remove it So let's see goth hotel coming back in dazzling gleam and moon guys beam should be enough to get the goth hotel The only problem is I feel like the goth hotel probably protects. We probably see I'm still gonna go for it. We probably see a snarl. It's just I can't afford to let that goth hotel get a trick room up So I don't want to not target into it now and get punished for it. I'm gonna see the Umbrian switch out I'm gonna see ferrathorn make its little debut No Okay, well, I mean getting switched into that if we can remove the goth. Oh, I don't know if we're gonna be able to get it with Yeah The moon guys beam and if this trick room goes up things get very hairy for us very quickly I mean we identified it straight away. Come on moon guys Nothing's getting tricky. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Where do you talk it into your ferrathorn? We've got metagross in the back can come in maybe do something not really too good against the Umbrian though And then across my definitely isn't like if I'm opponent I think probably the Xernius protect here. So I just talk it into the necrosma Can we take a gyro ball with necrosma? That's the that's the question. I kind of want a dazzling gleam as well Oh moon blast. Yeah moon blast. I don't really care about the goth hotel at this point. I'm gonna moon blast We run out of time. I think we protect With the necrosma, I mean if we get the moon blast off that makes things so much easier for us Especially if they talk it into the necrosma in this turn. I doubt they do though They probably just make the play. Oh leech seed. Ha there. They do predict That we protect the Xernius here, so we get around this a little bit better Maybe it's in it's power range now. We are minus one of course, so we need to be a little bit careful And what we do now? Do we just dazzle now? Because I think now's the turn where I would protect it probably again don't want to talk it into it The dazzle would be although the dazzles very obvious here I'm gonna have to do it. I think I have to go for it and go for the earth power I hope they go for the necrosma again got the tail gonna switch out Maybe they target the the Xernius here just covering that slot. I think that's what you would do Yeah, Jerobo We survive Come on Zern you are the the king Please no Barry. No Okay, I can't believe we survived that we're gonna get some nice damage on to this Umbrian plus one Yeah, can we stall out the trick room now, you know, we're not we're not trapped in anymore So we can potentially get around things Okay, let's go protect and Let's switch into Do we switch into Metagross? Yeah, we do because we want to reset the drops and we want to get Meta in Metagross mega Metagross. We're gonna be able to feature it. I can't believe we survived that that year that Jerobo So good Okay, we're getting Metagross in It's obvious we're protecting there now though. Isn't it? It really is Jerobo going into that slot again needing to protect that Umbrian There's a file plate. That's not what we wanted to see. Oh Man look at the damage That is disgusting One more turn of trick room left. I Mean we've got to protect like we've got to get around this trick room. Yeah And I think we have to forego our boosts We have to protect Metagross at all costs. Yeah, it's gonna be difficult to close this one out But we can maybe do it Just whether we see a snarl here or not like a snarl wouldn't be ideal. I just hope we see Jerobo and file play again Jerobo, we should take this. It's a snarl. That's not what we wanted to see We do take it. I mean that's Something the leftovers on this Umbrian as well. Umbrians are so frustrating The trick room does end Now like where do we go because the snarls the the most obvious thing here Can we get the Umbrian now with a combination at minus one We probably can get the Umbrian with earth power and then an iron head and there's always a chance to flinch as well Let's try it. We've got to try it. I think but then If we get the Umbrian, we're still in with a shout Very small shout, but we're still in with a shout very thought protect. So that's a big big plus for us So if we can get the Umbrian Things are looking up is the iron head. Come on Metagross. Let's do this for the team. Come on Yes, come on gross. Yes big bad meta. Okay, it's not over though yet. Not by any means But this means that we have to stomp in tantrum earth part into Graffarathon and we have to be able to get it with this combination of attacks. I mean would moon guys beam be better? Stomp It's just let's just just just just double check here And so Yeah, I think the moon guys beam is gonna be better, isn't it? It's gonna be a little bit stronger So we'll go moon guys beam and we'll go It's ice punch your stomping gonna be better though They're both neutral Stompings I think a bit more powerful from not mistaken Gonna go stomping So we've got to get it with moon guys beam and stomping come on Can we clinch this because if zernius can then come in it can totally got the tail gonna protect this time? Okay, well the first ones only gonna well depends where it targets Targeting like into the ultra necrosma, but maybe then zernius comes in and it's gonna be enough to be able to Take it down with Dazzle, but we get it anyway. I am Bob's that's fine Wow What an episode what a game to kick off the episode this has been so nail-biting Can't believe we're on such fine margins with like 9 HP with got the tell 10 HP with zernius Going up against this got the tell now I think you're my opponent then maybe you trick room with the got the tell and try the double protect onto the ferrathorn I think that would have been the wiser choice But it's hard to say in these situations, you know where you want to go with things I'm just thankful that we were able to get the double up onto the the embryo and without that I Don't think we could have done very much, but very good games my opponent and what a blaster to kick us off with today How can we top that going into game two? I don't know but we'll try we'll try at least we've got to see mega Metacross as well It's really nice being able to kind of see against Pokemon It's not really, you know, you're not really generally gonna bring it against these sort of Pokemon And it still performs very well. It's a very strong mega. I still arm on the side of mega metacross is Good in this format. I think it's very niche. I think players that are saying it's bad Haven't played with it enough to Really justify it, but there's always gonna be people that just don't agree with me at all And that is fair enough because they they they've got probably definite good reasons why it's not very good in this format And yeah, that's fine, but I do think it's got a very good place in this format. It does wreck a lot of things It's not gonna have a great matchup against a lot of other things, but it does have its place I feel but we've got an ex-opponent child 1399 rated a player so we're gonna up against him and we'll go into team preview If you can get it There we go. Finally. So child is running a team of Incineroar, Primal Groudon and Mungus Salamence It's gonna be the mega there, Tepolele and the Dawn Mungus Necrosmas. So How are we going to approach this because it's probably a very similar kind of core to what we're playing and The fact that there's the scarf Tepolele there Like metagross does really well in this game I mean you've got to be very careful around the opposing Groudon And obviously the Dawn Mungus Necrosmas is gonna be a bit of an issue for us I think we maybe have to debate in the the Z move Well, the Mungus beam from it to deal with it. I do want to bring Incineroar here just for this the the the idea that we've got snarl. I think more than anything We're gonna cross ma I think I need Tepolele here and do we bring Zonius? Do we bring metagross or do we bring lander us like lander us could be quite good here to be honest But I'm kind of swaying more on this side of metagross even though it makes us a little bit of a worse matchup against the Dawn wings, but we'll go good luck to my opponent. Let's see if we can top that last one That was a good one Sorry to keep popping on about it But it's always nice when you kind of you're in the middle of a game You're like I don't see a way out of this like I didn't see a way out of after the trick room goes up And he's taking quite a bit of damage and although we got a geometry off the ferrathorn appear We lost our incineroar just seemed really difficult to kind of overcome that when you do overcome something like that It's so nice that feeling of just being able to be like Okay, you can breathe a little bit now So we're gonna see the the dawn wings and across my come out from my opponent with the salamence We'll get the intimidate off with the art incineroar. I think one of the things I'd like to do potentially here is Switch out our Incineroar, oh do I just snarl? No, I think what I'm gonna do is I just say I just fear the potential Tailwing from the salamence and we don't really want to allow them to do that. I'm gonna fake out men's Do we just stay in this form and moon guys beam because we should be able to take a moon guys beam from the necrosma Although we could just go ultra burst and just be the first time playing this be like super risky and go for the 5050 speed Tie, I would never advise this as well if we use this be tied It's gonna be very difficult for us to make very much progress in the rest of this match And so I'm really kind against it But because it's Friday and we're feeling ultra lucky. I'm just gonna see the protect from the The opposing necrosma we could have went into the salamence predicting that protect, but that's fine Do have access to a Z move now, which is always good As we could mute the salamence We just not really got a switch in for our ultra necrosma That's the only problem, but they don't really have a good switch in for the Z move now from our ultra necrosma And we can get this alamence for sure It does make the on with the the ground on a little bit trickier say and I Think what we'll do is we'll go for you turn Into the ultra necrosma and we'll try and make this salamence and hope that we're pressuring this necrosma Feel the enough for it to switch out, but we're not gonna see that Fall things of all things we walk into it once again once again my friends We walk into this trap, which is not ideal at all, right? You're gonna see this thing Come out new because for the moon guys being for sure it's gonna go for the speed time But it's not really because it's kind of beat us all in all anywhere unless it goes for the earth power Ha, at least we've got no editing to do on the Z move third disappoint me keep falling for that trap So was the obvious thing to do and with the mega salamence not mega revolving there I think it's a good indicator for us to Probably say that it was gonna switch out wasn't it? It's moon guys beam. It's gonna be See another sucker to our a good old. Oh, we actually survive Wow Wow That's that's pretty incredible. Okay, that's really really impressive Okay, so that is a big game changer for us. We've lost as a move, but I mean just having ultra necrosma now So check out we could change the EVs And they're down in the description if you want to check out the team we're bringing Lele We can pressure that ultra necrosma pretty much straight away And I think there's no home and just chucking around some Moon blasts to be honest. I think the ultra necrosma probably protects here the incinero probably pivots out Hmm It's a thing we could double into the incinero with a moon blast Like I think we've got to try and make some traction in this game We could moon blast and earth power into the incinero and pick up the knock out there I'm gonna do it because we need to try and pull ourselves back into this expecting that necrosma to protect It does withdraw groud on coming. Yeah Now if we can get the incinero here, which I'm kind of hoping we can it really does open the door for Atabu Lele to do a ton of damage and really kind of claw this match back from us For us, I should say it's just about whether we can We can get rid of the incinero. It's just about this moon blast If it does about 40% Think we'll be safe to get the earth power and knock out onto it Yeah, we should get it now. Yeah with the earth power definitely. I think Okay, so there we go Okay, we make the right choice there And what's coming in the necrosma Now, I think what we will do is moon blast as the necrosma will bring an incinero Again, we'll get the intimidate off onto the ground on which is the big thing here for us We need to preserve our necrosma to help us deal with that groud on later in the game with the earth power All we need to do is chip it slightly and it's going to be an earth power range Maybe the necrosma Because cheeky here thinks we're not target into it because of the last turn So it doesn't protect so we can nuke it this turn That is going to be safe, but Lele should be able to take a minus 1p blades That's fine. So we do get that all the salamence the next turn. There's the precipice blades We can't obviously fake out the groud on which is a little bit of a um It's not ideal Um, and we've got to really think about this now because The Lele is our answer to dealing with pretty much everything Because I think if you're my opponent You probably switch out the necrosma into the salamence at this point The salamence is less useful But we've not really got too much we can switch in I mean we could This is tricky could preserve the Lele Let's just go for the moon blast and do I just bring in metagross To get the intimidate back onto that ground on once again I'm gonna do it so we we can put it down to minus two. We'll lose Lele Yeah, we're gonna see it switch out But We will get the ments. There's always a chance of the precipice blades missing as well I don't think metagross shouldn't go down to this I'm gonna be taking a bunch of damage though. We do get the salamence Oh, that's huge. That is absolutely huge for us lele avoiding That is massive That's too too big too big Um, because now we can stomp in tantrum into the ground on switch out a lele Into incinero Mega revolve and just go for the stomping into the ground on It's likely the necrosis might protect because knowing that we're scoffed It has to protect and try and take us down with the next precipice blades It's like the only option my opponent's got so the metagross has a pretty free turn here to go for the stomping tantrum um, and then if incinero goes down to The precipice blades here, then we get a free switching back into that lele The necrosis just protect so can't really protect again Metagross should go down so that opens a door for our alternate cosmos to come in So we've kind of got a checkmate situation. It's just about both of our pokemon going down here, which I'm not sure if incinero actually goes down or not But we'll see there's the protect from the necrosis All we need is this stomping tantrum damage onto the the ground on and then it puts it in range And you know if incinero doesn't go down there is the fake out option with the psychic terrain ending this next turn So we would have that option as well going into this next turn Uh, but we do see both go down which is fine Critical hit rng giving us the role there. So uh, the psychic train will disappear now Metagross doing its job getting that damage onto the ground on setting up this end position and like I say now we can um We've got a complete checkmate situation where we can just go Um moon blast hit par and we should be able to wrap this game up It's such fine margins again It's um, it's been one of those episodes again It felt like after turn one and the survival there with the necrosis absolutely huge for us Um, you know, we got a little bit greedy But because of that that that survival there from the moon guys beam it makes such a difference So it makes sense to just you know Put the extra bulk into it because you're not really missing out on the damage From the attacks that you're doing. There's the moon blast into the necrosis I'm gonna be enough to pick it up and now the earth power comes into the ground on watch it survive I don't think it will from this range But yeah, we are able to pick up another win very nice and a really good way for us to send off this team this week so that's incredible and just massive good games to my opponent and Thankfully we were able to pull out the win there and like I said, just a nice way to send off this zernius and Ultra necrosis build that we've been playing since the ultra series kicked off last week guys. Thank you so much for tuning in today I hope you've enjoyed the run with this ultra necrosis and zernius team We've featured a few different variations throughout the last couple of weeks and I hope it's been interesting and entertaining for you It's been amazing just interacting with you guys in the comment section for the last couple of weeks on these episodes Well being featuring this team and I was excited to announce that on monday. We'll be going into the Battle spot if I can speak obviously. I'm just so excited with a brand new team So we have a poll up at the minute. It will be kind of I'll take in the results Probably this evening So if you haven't voted over there for what you'd like to see played next week go over there Stick a vote on and I will make sure to play whatever comes out on top And as I've been saying as well, don't be too disappointed if we don't feature something you want to see We've got so much time in the ultra series to feature a bunch of stuff So I will make sure to get through everything in the end We're gonna have guides coming up next week.
