 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're gonna be playing a team very excited to be playing the third place Finishing team from the IC over the weekend the online tournament that has just taken place and finished If you guys did take part in the tournament, of course as always, please leave your comments down below Let me know what teams you played and how you got on in that tournament over the weekend can't fly Underscore SS is the Japanese players using him on Twitter Who created this team and had that third place finish? His blog is also linked down in the description as well as all his social handles So go and check out the blog and give him a follow over on Twitter very fun team obviously got a lot of their fun and Innovative their innovative if I can even speak. What's wrong with me today? Choices and texts and things like that So it'll be really fun looking forward to it because I haven't actually played charlotte venus old this season on the channel So and it'll be a lot of fun I've been trying out lots of weird and wonderful things if you're wondering about my rating at the minute And I've got a really cool kind of Grim's Gigantamax Grimstall team that I'm trying to finish off which I will feature here as soon as they do get it finished But yeah, that's why the rating is all over the shop But anyway on to our first opponent the episode they're playing a team of dust globs riperea gastarone Incineroar Bishop and the Dragapult so lots of things to consider because the taranatara on this team is Weakness policy it kind of is minimum speed So you want to be getting it under a trick room the only issue here is we're going up against the riperea That's gonna be probably slower than it also with the weakness policy and also the gastarone doesn't really help Us out too much in that respect But Coven Knight doesn't do too bad against the majority of this team to be honest The only thing that we really need to be super scared of is the incineroar which it can't even intimidate us anyway So that's something to think about and how do they stop the Charizard? I mean we could go Gmax Charizard just get a Wildfire off just to get like the chip damage onto the field as early as possible That might be a nice way to do that and then If we can get an iron defense with Coven Knight as well kind of does help us But we probably do want to have T-Tar. I'm gonna go for this. I'm gonna go for this lead I'm gonna test try try it out. Let's see what we do here. And then our last Pokemon we probably want I mean we could use dust globs to reverse the trick room but And let's go Venus all because Venus all can handle like things like Bishop incineroar and the Gastarone pretty well as well as the Rhyperia and Especially because we've got the life orb of power which really does help us out there And it's just the the dragon pull that will be a little bit of an issue, but We'll just have to approach it a little bit carefully. You know, we've got T-Tar as well So it shouldn't be too difficult to get around. Okay. Well, so we've got Dragapult. We've got Incineroar as our lead from our opponent. I Guess the one thing that I didn't really want to see was kind of I want to get the Coven Knight set up with the Iron Defense as soon as possible because it's got the body press here and the issue is that We don't really want to Leave it in front of the incineroar either way. I mean we could just go for an Iron Defender But like I say I want to go for this Do I go for an Airstream and switch in Char's T-Tar? It's not like It's not the best thing to do to be honest Because we could go to the G-Max We've got Airstream right now into Incineroar, but we're probably better off going for the Dragapult It's gonna be the one thing that does causes a few more problems than not so we'll switch in T-Tar just to be safe Keep Corvi around for later. I think like It's difficult, isn't it? Because I call the night it feels like one of those Pokemon It's gonna be really useful like towards the the latter stages of this game I'm not gonna see anything down a maximum on this side of the field And although we're not gonna really be doing that much damage to the Dragapult It's more about the residual chip damage that we're gonna be getting every turn Especially when we're stacking it with the sound pretty nice If we can't get an Airstream or a couple of Airstreams up as well on top of this It puts us in a decent enough position with T-Tar to start actually hitting things before they can they can do lots of things to us So there's a Faker from Incineroar just gone for that turn one you turn Into the Charizard that would have been perfect if it had been into a Duranitar and we'll see what they bring in I mean, I'm kind of happy that the Dragapult's getting out of here. It resists the fire I mean other than Ryperion Gastrodon coming in we should be all right, whatever we hit and Dustclops, so that's that's actually all right. Okay But we didn't went for the Airstream, which is fine like that's totally fine, isn't it? The Airstream it does so much damage with a massive critical hit. Okay, but the T-Tar gonna be super fast now We can just rock slide and go for the blast burn Of a GMax wildfire and that should be enough to get the dustclops. I Guess the worrying part is if we see ally switch that could be a little bit of a problem because I don't know if rock slide would get The dustclops by itself Let's see. Let's see what my opponent goes for here It's like the Airstream did so much damage, but yeah the crit the crit makes total sense there Okay, right. There's the ally switch. We feared it. Okay. Well, I mean it they're not going for a trick room right so it's not the worst thing in the world and We probably will with a combination of this and rock slide get the Incinero Unless unless we avoid of course, but no, okay, okay Well, I mean We don't hit the one we want the rock slide there onto the dustclops would have been nice because then it would have Definitely meant we take it down the next turn fortune. We do see a parting shot come out from the NC Um, what's coming in Dragapult potentially? Oh, right, period. It makes a lot of sense The wildfire stack here is is super super useful super useful because now like a rock slide will get will get both We're likely to use Charizard here Do we go for a rock slide again? I feel like I need to go for a rock slide to be honest And the right period probably maxes But I do want to let the trick room go up not really No, I definitely don't because like We won't call the night not we won't call the night to get at least a An iron defense up Before the right period can hit us And we don't really want the right period proc and that weakness policy either so I think just getting damage onto the board right now Okay, well, that's still fine. We'll get a little bit of extra damage with our Charizard here like nothing The crunch would have been a lot more reliable since you missed last turn hopefully T-tiles got his goggles on here So he does actually hit and you prevent the trick room from being set up the problem is now I guess and the incident all coming on to the field with the the vehicle Dynamics turns have finished. I mean the wildfire damage onto the right here already is insanely good But We probably want to get T-tile out of here I think we keep T-tile in particular for the the dragon put later on in the match So we can definitely close that up We could just protect with Charizard. It's a little bit risky though. The thing is like even through the protect Probably not getting Really that much because if they go for a max rockfall into Charizard then They definitely pick up the knockout here. I'll go for a blast burn just to get some last ditch Damage off and we'll bring in overnight It's a bit of a shame because T-tile had that plus one speed So it would have been out speeding the incineroar for sure and now that we've switched out Probably not gonna be but if we see a max quake here, I mean, it's fine We've got to levitate and pop well flying Pokemon levitate and whatever you want to call it on the field so I mean If you're going after the T-tile which would make sense because you want to protect your incineroar Then we kind of waste the turn of the the dynamite turns at least it's my opponent and we get a blast burn off There's a fake out. It's into that slot T-tile. We get the blast burn It's not really big damage, but at least it's some damage. We see the rockboard. It's gonna be into Charizard So I mean we're not getting not losing out there by any means I don't feel and now we can get Venus off And imagine But we could sleep powder we could sleep powder Because of body press probably gets the incineroar from this range I reckon But an any like an energy ball a life-over energy ball definitely gets the right period for sure Yeah, yeah, I think we don't even need to mess around here I think we just got body press into the incineroar and energy ball into the right period and think that gets it I think without the trick room up the right period is gonna struggle against this sort of building Charizard's done so much work already Wow, okay That's a big call switching up the right period But I mean, I guess not as well. You're gonna lose it either way. So Is the energy ball? And it's just about a cover knife being faster than the incineroar really that's that's the main thing Yeah, and we are so I kind of thought we would be There's a body press and I don't feel like there's much my opponent can do now. I mean Than some subsides The dragon pulp probably is gonna be able to get Venus off right The wildfire is just insane the wildfire is such like this is the one thing like I love colossal as well Because the colossal's got the the G max vocal it doesn't it? It's like it's pretty much the same just a rock type and instead Now do we double we double the right period? Good iron defense I'm gonna just iron defense actually because if the dragon pulp tends to be more on the standard side It's gonna be physical, right? So now defense is gonna be to help us out regardless here There's a chance the dragon pulp could go phantom force And I don't really want to target into that slot and waste waste the turn on my end So and I need you ball if we get it off into the right period definitely take it down This Venus looks pretty bulky as well. It's like it's not just your standard 250 250 My period does protect that's fine Thunderbolt, ah, okay But I mean it's not even it's not doing enough is it it's just not doing enough There's a brave bird now a brave bird and Well, we can just double the right period to be honest because we've got tita on the back We don't even need to take the risk Hmm talking about doubling like everyone it's like Are they gonna have flamethrower they don't have lifeball so I don't think it takes the Venus or down either way we just Yeah, let's just break this dragon pulp. There's no way this this right period doing anything to cover night It does go for the double protect there's another Thunderbolt, so now that's fine We're gonna be able to lock this up. Okay, it's into the stop this time. I guess just Clicking whatever just to try and get some damage on and but we do pick up a win We had I feel like we just brute-forced our way through this battle It's a bit of a weird one. This is like literally as well my first game with the team So I'm still like learning the team and I'm gonna be like I think playing a lot with this team I really like have a lot of time for it There's a lot of Pokemon in here that I think are really good this season like over night I think really good right now tita. It's another one another favorite Pokemon of mine Like I've used like every season it's ever been available and it's always been very good other than like the The Restricted Pokemon when they're in not as good then other than 2010 2010 was Tito was really good. I'm pretty sure it was on Was it on the second place? Team worlds. I am pretty sure it was But yeah, yeah other than that it's always been amazing Pokemon Venus or another one that I do really like talk up everything on this team I like so I mean that's that's one of the reasons why when I saw the standings It was really cool. And we've got Piera up next playing a team of toggle kiss. That's clubs Manda Buzz. It's a nice pick of the minute Manda Buzz I do like I'm just gonna stop a minute just talk about that because it's got the overcoat ability So it does give it the immunity to sleep powder Which is quite a big thing in this format and it does have access to things like Tailwind taunt roost Powerplay it's dark typing as well. So it's really nice. It's flying as well So just having that immunity to to ground type attacks is really nice And all right never made up with the rest of the team is gonna be Lapras, Iggy Slash and the Dom Minotin Well, well, well, well, I mean we could go Charizard We could go Charizard and talk all to be honest like as a lead. It's not bad And it stops my phone gone through the trick room. I don't really yeah We'll go with that we'll go with that because I can I can do something with talk all that we've not talked about yet Which is pretty good. Um, other than that, what else do we want Corvie here? I Think Tito be pretty nice. It's good against To flying types and dust globs and pretty good against Lapras as well And the egg slash depend on the set, of course And then we could probably just round it off with dust globs trying to get a trick room after late game because I don't think there's too much Really that slow my opponent team. I think min speed Tito probably under speed majority of the like that the threats They've got to us. So I'm just imagining like the end game with like Dom Minotin and if we hadn't brought dust globs then You know that's kind of done. Isn't it if you play the Dom Minotin? Well, here it is Here he is the big white boy. Um, but I think like having it late games pretty nice and we've got to be careful here though because Obviously scoff rocks like a banded rock slide What's it gonna be though? It can be banded as scarred. I would imagine more scarf than this sword So look, can I see can I see Pokemon? You can see Pokemon. I imagine it's probably scarred more scarred than anything else Makes me definitely want to switch things around It's definitely gonna be a rock slide that comes out. There's no way We're gonna say like I don't think an article I mean one thing we could do is just potentially switch in dust globs And just go for heatwave Yeah, because I don't think a rock slide And a foul play would get us here. The Dom Minotin actually gonna retreat here. I'm gonna see Lapras come in Um, I don't mind this and I'm pleased. I'd like to talk all on the field Let's see what this minibus goes for probably goes for The tailwind So it's a light play on the Lapras Rocky helmet. Nice Interesting. Ah, that's not good. You don't want to lose that That's the one thing we don't want to lose. Okay. Get the heatwave. We do miss the third Which is a bit annoying, but I mean we get some big damage onto the Lapras there, which is really good. Um, okay We want to go for the trick room. I don't know if we do I mean we can do I think it'd be useful wouldn't it if we can get the trick room I don't think we're gonna be able to um, we'll go for yawn into the Lapras because this will completely shut down any Uh, Dynamax 10s that they go for now. So, uh, this is a really nice tech that I saw on the team The talk all I didn't even realize talk or got yawn Um, so just having access to it Um, as soon as they saw it was like, right, let's breed one up. Let's get one. So There's plenty of stuff as well. I'm sure you've got Pokemon in your box with yawn Like I think I bred mine with a meows stick With yawn, which also has to be bred onto I think I think Pretty sure. Um, but yeah, it was pretty pretty good. Um, so I thought yeah, this is a really good way and and how he described Using it was to to really disrupt Dynamax Pokemon Oh, wow won't survive with two HP. That's insane. Okay. Well, that's fine Um, and I mean we're gonna get a trick room up, which is really nice. Uh, we do get the yawn off also really useful Um, and I think we keep talk off for later on in this game um You know, we could ally switch But they probably target the scrubs. I think They probably do The one thing we could potentially do is bulldoze and switch into tea tall It's just I don't want to take a gap. I don't want to take a max guys and that's the the big thing here. Um Let's go for a night shade into the lapras and I want to keep talk all around for later I don't really want to lose to Charizard either to be honest, but it's probably the best thing to lose right now Or do we just lose talk all let's just lose talk all let's just do it Let's just go for the double up into lapras here Scro, which is always useful and the night shade. Yeah, max resonance. We're gonna get that out. That's gonna be into Okay, just clubs What's this mind of us gonna do? That's not ideal, but I'm hoping the talk all goes down here Yeah, okay Because we kind of we needed the dust globs to stick around. Uh, the lapras is asleep now, which is perfect. Um, which allows us to get tea tower into the field. Um, get our weakness proceed propped But actually do we want to not dynamax with Charizard because a tea tower I should say I think we'd be better off Trying to get a max airstream with Charizard before the trick room ends. That would be like like Oh my god, I need to see how many turns of trick. Okay, we've got three Three turns of trick Okay I think we do that. Okay, so I'm just gonna I'm gonna bulldoze and I'm just gonna rock slide I don't even want to um I'm not gonna max tea tower yet And then we still got the option because it pretty much comes down to whether or not we can manipulate and The field with our Charizard or not like if you can get a boost up before Like if don't mind it turns out in the field and that that works out perfectly if you can get a flinch on the The mind of us here. That's what we want really We take down the Lapras take down the mind of us just below 50% health, which is ideal I guess if I'm gonna flinch onto the mind of us now, that'd be huge um Yes, we get it. We ask in the gods reply Okay, um, which is perfect Okay So what they're gonna bring in now They do have the light screen up still. Uh the la the um of our For the max darkness Behind the veil. I don't know if we'll get it. I don't know if we will get it or not and It might be better just going for an eye shade and then going for because I think the dust globs probably Does the dust globs go for uh A willow is that's the that's the question or does it go for Because we could be cheeky and just got ally switch here We go rock side Because I I've got a suspicion that I'm gonna see willow spm. I really don't want t-tart to get burned And it's going for the trick room. It's going for trick room. Okay, we get rid of man buzz Okay, but this is all right. I don't know. We do see a willow is okay. That's way better That's what we want because a dumb man at hand coming now um That's ideal. Wow our t-tart is We've got the trick room up. This is really confusing because like how did t-tart and dispute dust globs I guess we've got the bulldoze. There's not minimum speed dust globs. Okay. Okay, that makes more sense The brain's hurting people don't judge. Okay. Um, right What are we where we where we where are we with this last turn in trick room? Okay, well, I think we just got max now and I think we go for the man at hand Do you have willow with an ally switch? I very much doubt it And burnt. I still think we get Um, the dark man at hand. I think we could rock slide, but we'll probably better off Just going for this and here we go ally switch again. What do we just play the mind game? I mean, why wouldn't you if you've got it? I'm just gonna be that guy We'll do it. We'll see. Um, don't man at hand should go down here. So It's still not over, but I mean like t-tart should be able to to deal with dust globs And then we've got Charizard in the back as well. We're gonna lose dust globs here about See what this dumb man at hand. It could be sashed. It could be sashed, you know But even if it is it's got to guess right after the ally switch And it will still go down to the sand. So it's fine Please guess wrong with all the lowest again Oh I hate that. You know when you do it yourself. You're like, they're never gonna ally switch again And they always ally switch again. You're like, god sake Why? Why? It's such a bad. It's a horrible move. It's a horrible move. I'm not endorsing it And then in comes that charizard. So we'll just go for a heat wave and then go for, um, max darkness There we go. Let's see how much damage we do not that much, but respectable max darkness We like speed time the whole time then I I don't know how these speed tiers are working. We must be must be be time. Anyway We do pick up the win That's two wins today. That's really nice and Yeah, just nice showcasing the team and even though I feel like I've got A long way to kind of go with learning the team and seeing how it actually all it's like little intricacies and things like that Um, I still feel like it feels like a really really nice solid team, which you would expect from such a high finish as well
