 Hello friends and welcome back to another episode of our 2020 VGC battle series. My name's Lee also known as Osiris I hope you're all well. Hope you're all keeping safe staying inside and Doing things to Not get yourself in vulnerable situations with what's going on in the world at the minute But being serious for a moment Just make sure you guys are taking care of yourselves making sure that you're staying safe And just away from crowded areas at the minute the world's in a bit of a crazy place And I worry about each and every one of you. So just make sure that you are taking care of yourselves I'm in quite a fortunate or unfortunate situation depends which way you look at it I work in a hospital. So I'm kind of on the front lines of Information and things like that. So I think we're at the tip of the iceberg. I really do Send all my best wishes to each and every one of you and just make sure that you are taking care of yourself Anyway onto Pokemon Because today we are gonna be here playing the colossal team. We started off with the earlier in the week You can see I've made some Slight adjustments to the team. We've got rid of the bronzong now the initial reason why we have the bronzong in the Team was I really wanted to get this skill swap kind of working Switch the flash fire from the colossal onto the bronzong Levitate onto the colossal Unfortunately, you can't skill swap a dynamics Pokemon I ran with the bronzong anywhere because bronzong is generally a good Pokemon, but I feel like dust clops is a bit more Consistent so that's why we went with it here does the same role as what bronzong does under speeds colossal Which is really important to get that bulldoze off before we start Checking out moves activate our weakness policy. It's a lot like how the right period works But we've just got maybe a better typing not defensively, of course And then we've got the grim star still we haven't changed that the concord is amazing We've integrated in the corvik night and then the gastrodon has stayed as well Now I've done a bit of testing with the team and it feels like a lot better version of the team So at the end of the episode as I promised earlier in the week There will be a rental team so stick around for that and we'll have a couple of matches and then we'll We'll get you guys that rental team to go in test this team with I feel pretty happy to give out this rental team Like I mentioned earlier in the week And one of the things that I wanted to do was actually test the team out a little bit make some adjustments before I release the The rental team for you guys, so we've got our first opponent the episode. They are playing a team of Gengar Togonamoru Tyranitar Bravery the Clefairy and Gyarados so It's a pretty physical heavy team outside of the Gengar everything else is really physical hitting Colossal does pretty well against the majority of the team as well like it can nuke the Gengar the Togonamoru Bravery The Clefairy and the Gyarados. We've got to be careful about the the the bird and the Gyarados Well the the fighting stab from the the bird can do us some harm and the water type stab from Gyarados isn't going to be that great either So we do need to watch out for that. I think that Gastrodon here is gonna be exceptionally good and The redirection support for my pawn as well something we've got to worry about for sure, but I think Gastrodon conquered there at dusk collapse and Colossal doesn't seem too bad to be honest, and I'm pretty I'm pretty pretty confident leading in this match with Colossal as well and I Think the worst case scenario would be the bird coming out and But it's not the worst thing in the world. We're not gonna go down to a Super power or a max knuckle. That's for sure. So lock in see how we get on And I think one of the things that I really like about this team is we're not really relying on What our opponents doing we've got like and this is like a big thing that I always try to kind of get across the players It's really hard to do. It's not an easy thing, but like when you're building Have a strategy in mind that you want to kind of be executing every game. It's a bit like trick room Okay, so like trick room, you know, that's the main prerogative of the team So you you do what you need to do to get your trick room up and then start sweeping We've got a pretty similar kind of objective with this team and it doesn't really matter what our opponents do and yeah, we have to be reactive at times, but at the same time we've got a set kind of Strategy that we need to follow and that's what we're kind of Doing here, I guess and it makes it a lot easier for myself because I know I've got my goals Kind of set out very clearly in front of me. Um, okay, so we've got Tyranitar We've got Gengar coming up for my opponent. It's not so great for our dust clubs here and getting that trick room up, but It does detract all attention from our colossal Um, if we lose dust clubs, it's not the best thing in the world But I don't think it's gonna matter too much now. We'll get rid of this Gengar And first thing we're gonna do We're not gonna see any Dynamax from my opponent's side of the field. They were the Dynamax before us So we'll see what my opponent does Worst case scenario, I think we see taunt crunch into the dust clubs or we see something like a taunt into the dust clubs We could see the Gengar trying to reverse the trick room Um, and then a big attack into dust clubs, but we'll see what my opponent goes for Maybe just doubling down into dust clubs shadow ball and then a crunch um Which will definitely be enough, but I mean it this is my thing where detract attention Oh, oh, it's that's risky. That is so risky Detract attention away from the the the colossal which is our main kind of Mode of the team now if dust clubs here gets that trick room up I don't think there's much coming back from my opponent. They don't really have much in their team That kind of cushions like the offensive pressure that we've got especially with the rock kind of Chip damage on top of that There we go dust clubs. Come on pulling it out the bag not wanting that flinch from those rock slides And I think that's what my opponent was going for But they would have really been better off in that situation going for the crunch Whether or not they didn't go for it due to ally switch or something like that. I don't know but um, or maybe a switching Um, you know, I kind of explain my reasons why I wasn't really too concerned about the trick room not going up there I think we've got enough support in the back to kind of get ourselves through this turn as long as we get rid of the Gengor early on Um, we've got concolder on the back that we can bring in to deal with the the tita. Um, you've got gasseron They can come in and help us out against the garrados. It's likely to come in Um, so I mean we're not we wouldn't be in the worst situation anyway Um, and now those like situations where we're switching things in It's just creating room the whole time for colossal to kind of do things now I'm gonna preserve little old And we didn't bring why didn't we bring? Why didn't we bring concolder? I'm sure I've misclicked there regardless of that. Um I'm gonna bring in gasseron right now and I'm gonna go for another another big rock move into the garrados I expect the garrados to mega evolve Mega evolve where are we? Generation seven still I expected the dynamax and go for the max geyser. Oh Actually, it doesn't just switching out. So it's just trying to get intimidated cycling in and I think that's a big thing That a lot of players kind of have a misconception that colossal is going to be Um This kind of physical pokemon rather than a special pokemon if they're not too familiar with it but to the Intimidate support on our side of the field doesn't really matter I'm more special than anything else and we do have golden knight with the Mirror arm in the back which does help us now a big rock type attack from tyranitar here isn't going to be ideal And that's what I would imagine probably see coming out from the tyranitar. We've seen in past episodes um That causes all sorts of problems and it's probably strong enough to pick up the knockout here Oh, it's intergastered on Okay, there's this a bit of room Give us a little bit of room. I'm a little bit sad that we haven't brought conco though because I feel like conk Really in this Against what we're going up against here is a lot better Huh now we're switching I could double into tita. You know, I just don't want to proc a weakness policy. That's the thing I could go for a scold But the thing is we're probably gonna get um I'm gonna switch in dust globes just to sack dust globes. It's pretty much on its last legs. Anyway I don't want to proc I really don't want to proc the weakness policy on the on the tar I'm gonna just get the sun up because it does help us a little bit more against the garrados when it comes back in um I don't want to leave gasser on out on the field because I feel like if tita does attack It's probably gonna go for a dark type attack. Uh life orb detecting We could get the max flare off The only problem against tita with this team Especially when we haven't brought the conco though when we really needed it like gastrodom conco though I can't believe I've clicked into coordinate. It should still be all right. Is that the um the rock residual damage doesn't actually hit um Now we survived that that's that's fine. Okay, it doesn't actually affect rock types The tyrannotas kind of immune to that now the trick room is still up in effect Uh, we will lose Unfortunately, we're gonna lose dust globs here And we still have one more turn of tita And it's max form Uh, okay, I think we're bringing gastrodom again and we could hard switch out to overnight I think might not be a bad idea Because I think my opponent's prerogative has to be now to get rid of the gastrodom Hmm. We still have trick room turns to take advantage of as well I just don't want to lose gastrodom at this stage um See how many turns this trick room we've got left. Okay, we got two. Okay, so that's not too bad um I don't think you use a war type attack if you do Our best option is probably the ancient power into garrados and garrados might protect here But I think it's inevitable that we probably use colossal anyway if we don't then that's a massive bonus And it's definitely an argument to say would it be better just to leave gastrodom in an attack But Maybe not as well. Okay. Well, we take down the garrados and one Full swoop as a max knuckle comes out tita trying to get itself powered up, which is which is fine Um, but I think with the bird on the field now, we're gonna be all right I think we're gonna be all right. And this is where the bird comes in handy I mean if it's conquered, uh, it would be so much easier Literally, it would be so much easier, but We haven't got they haven't got um I haven't got conquered this so we'll have to make do with the bird Okay, I think we're all right. I think we're all right. Um, we'll try and get a bulk up off We'll recover. We'll just get ourselves into a bit of a better position this turn. Um We'll go for a recover a bulk up and then a body press should be enough to take the tita out. So It's weird when dust clubs came out I don't remember seeing an item unless it was the life orb on the tita, but I don't believe it's been taken recoil damage unless I've just not been paying attention and just Talking way too much anywhere Uh, we do see the dragon dance come up from the tita It's actually gonna out speed up overnight now, but the bulk up is gonna help us massively Uh, we can just double down on the tita now We probably would have been better off Really just doubling down on it the previous turn with a an earth power and a body press but Either way, I think Rock slide flinch pending. We should be all right. Wow All the night takes so much damage there. It is life orb. So we were actually What have we done? What have we done? What have we done? We would have been actually all right. Um Just double attacking. Yeah, we've been paying a bit more attention and I think generally if I'm not recording I would have been We need Call to to to pull through here. Come on We do it. Come on. There we go We get the win we get the win the big w kick us off a bit closer than it needed to be And I'll admit that you probably not kind of played it as cleanly as we we should have. Um, like I said, there was uh, definitely Areas where we could have just closed that out a lot quicker. So, um Never mind. Anyway, we got the win. So that's all that matters That's all that matters. The result is all that matters, isn't it? To commemorate your hard work, please take this big nugget. Okay. Thank you for that. Um You get the ribbon as well, which is very nice and we will continue. So we'll see where rank's gonna go. So, um streaming this week, uh, unfortunately due to work, um Things like that Why is my encoder being really really weird? Okay. I hope the recording's all right. Um, yeah I've just not had the time to actually record this week, which has been a little bit of a shame. Um, sorry stream this week but hopefully starting next week we'll be back onto a better schedule and, um Tuesday we'll be streaming this team unless I make a few little tweaks to it Maybe not and see how high we can get on the ladder. So that's the the goal with it But we've got Darcy up next Um playing garrados Tito that pairing again. We've got the mammoth swine, the sylvian conqueror and the rota more So a little bit of a different call There's no obvious speed control from my opponent's side of the field other than the garrados probably going for, um There's max airstream. So I think like honestly trick room here is not bad. We've got to watch out for max, um conk I think corvignite's quite good here and hmm Garrados again causing me a few issues, but I think gastrodon's not bad. We just need to be very careful around the rota We're putting a lot of kind of responsibility on to corvignite here But corvignite really isn't the team to help us out against in particular The conqueror and sylvian, uh, it doesn't do too bad against mammoth swine and tita either, um, need to be a bit careful around the rota, of course, but Um, I think we've got ways to kind of do all that. So we'll go with the same four again But we're picking the actual four that we were meant to pick last time. So See I don't know what's going on with my obs, but it was glitching out. It is glitching out still So I hope the recording actually comes out. All right I'm praying that it comes out. All right Um, I don't know why it's doing this actually it's never done this before but We'll see Something must be going on in the background Let me just try and close my web browser and see if that does anything Okay, so we've got sylvian and we've got garrados. Um, hmm Now now now now what do we do? We definitely want a trick room for sure. Um The thing is I probably I don't really want to just protect because I think we're just prime max guy like max guys a bit If I max and max god, then we're wasting a ton of our dynamax 10 But it might be just enough like it might be enough what we need to do um It's tough though. It really is tough We're gonna get the trick room up regardless. Let's try and I'm gonna go max god. Okay We're just wasting turns conks coming in Well, it's still not the end of the world It's still all right. It depends what kind of build this conqueror is as well and whether or not on max is We're gonna see the sylvian probably go for a hyper voice and Just clubs doesn't worry about that too much It's annoying when a turn like plays out like this because it's like lodged behind it But it's very passive at the same time and it's allowing our opponent to kind of Come back into the game Okay, let's look up fire That your best option It's strange. I don't know if we need to actually set up Do we want to proc our weakness policy? Okay, it's good good good conqueror I think we do want to proc our weakness policy and we probably want to go from max flare into the conqueror And hope that it doesn't max itself and then that will be enough to get it Yeah, I think with a weakness policy boost Sun's not up, but Conkel, they're not maxing here. We might be able to actually nab the knockout and if we can That's pretty big for us So Let's see Yeah, okay. So conk down This should pave the way for us to do some nice things because the thing is the problem is we've only got one more turn of our um at dynamax What's this sylvion doing? Why are you why are you attacking me? I've got flash fire and even if I hadn't I'm a rock fire type I'm like Four times. I'm like a hundred times resistant. Stop doing this So the garrados coming back in. Okay. Um, let's just pull that cheeky ally switch. Uh g max Rock or volca Volcan et al. However, we're pronouncing it Um, we'll do that into the garrados and with our last kind of max turn Um, we'll we'll get our signature attack off which starts the chip damage. It's never really ideal when you're playing this sort of Gigant max colossal. You really want to be getting that the kind of the rock Signature attack off first. So you're kind of stacking up the the residual damage It's a bit like when you play g max charizard. You want to get the um The g max fire move off first. I should really swap up on my g max moves because I have no no real idea about um what they really are Garrados, even if it goes from max guys in here, I think we're gonna be all right It's gonna get the rain up of course, but I mean We get this Attack off and I think an ancient power will be enough after this and the the max guys. I shouldn't be enough If they target correctly to take us down So we'll see what my opponent does If they can get through this turn Which they probably will Wow So much damage so much damage Even max garrados, it's gonna go down to the residual. There's another mystic fire I guess we all um Flash fire boosted as well. So that does help and does club to eating that up like Like it's a cookie Just bring it on garrados Bring it on the rain starts and then the the the chip damage starts with these rock throws. So garrados Oh barely hanging on. Okay. Well, it's fine like I say Um, even a heat wave at this point take down the garrados. We're not gonna risk that though Oh, we um, no, we'll go for an ancient power into the sylvan It's really not causing me any issues at the minute. We'll go for an i-chid into the garrados just to get rid of it and deny it any any sort of damage onto a a lovely call monster volcano Colossal thing that we've got going on. So Okay, there's the max guard just stalling out or trying to stall out these tricking tins What would be beautiful here if we got the the the the uh the boost from Ancient power, which I've not had yet, but I would like to get that at some point that would be even even more disgusting Then this team already is but we haven't really got to feature. I guess we've got to feature the core knight, which is nice garrados Yeah, that's a problem like max garden. I mean kind of just Delaying the inevitable with this G max colossal is so underrated though. I think it's so good as a trick room sweeper I think it's incredible like I would highly recommend like everyone trying it out. It's so effective And this team feels really fluid as well. So um We do see the rotom Come in hit the field. Uh, but we'll just even in the rain. We're gonna go for these heat waves Still should be doing like a good 50 percent with all the flash fire boosts to be patterned and The weakness policy be amazing if we chaotic this roto wouldn't it? So close. Oh my god, this is ridiculous. They're ridiculous like souped up colossal Okay, well the rotom and the sylvia and probably that's the end of both of them So this is like one of the quickest matches in history, but um I mean just showing that the sheer power of the team if you can kind of get going with it Um, it's quite hard to stop But you only haven't got the right tools to kind of deal with it But uh fair play to my opponent. They've done All the right things that they kind of had to do with Um, maybe the wrong tool set there, but very good games to Darcy always Pleasure to play you and um, that's two wins for us today friends So we finish off the week on like an amazing high Like I said, what we're going to do with the team. I'm going to give you the rental code now Um, so stick around for that and um What we are going to do Actually, what we'll do It's just let's just see where rank is taking us now because I really feel like we can rank Pretty high on the ladder of this team. Um See where we are come on That's not bad. That's not bad under 500. It's not bad. It's not brilliant, but it's not bad We're getting there, but I do feel like we could easy get the top 10 of this team There's a challenge for us So if you're around next Tuesday 7 p.m. Come over to my twitch channel It's linked down in the description. We'll be kicking off and we're going to see how high we can get this And if we do well Tuesday, we'll continue that on next Thursday as well Right now on to the important things for you My friends, uh, we need to create a rental team. Don't we? I think we need to delete a previous one It's a shame that you can't create More than six at a time um Managed teams to share right, which one we're gonna boot Got Durant Lapras esku or ice cube one of my favorite ones Intelli on another favorite one of mine There's a very common theme running through these teams a lot of trick room. Um Which one are we gonna I can't get rid of the lapras one lapras one's great. Let's get rid of Durant Uh, don't make public. Yeah. Yeah, get rid of number one. We'll put the number one team where it belongs in number one Okay, come on. All right You select a battle team. Which one is it? It's the one with the bird So let's make it public And there you are my friends if you try it out, please let me know how you get on with it. Um It might may take a little bit of getting used to um And there's definitely a set Like mentality that you need to get into to to use this team But it is very solid once you've had a few games or then once you're comfortable with it and it's got a great mod so there is The code here is in overview of the team You can see we've got the dust clubs the grim snarl grim snarls great as well Honestly, that trick eject button is amazing. So if you've got dust clubs grim snarl You expect something to to dynamax gmax on that side if you'll just swap it over You don't even need to worry about hitting it that turn Uh, then the next turn once you've got your trick room up You switch in your colossal bulldoze get rid of the dynamax gmax pokemon and set your colossal up at the same time It's very fluid in how that mode can work. Anyway, I'm gonna stop rabbitting on I'm just gonna say thank you so much for tuning in. I hope you've enjoyed today's episode I've had a lot of fun and I again my thoughts are with you all. I hope you can stay safe And I'll see you next week with with another brand new team in this vgc series three format Um, do come along to the streams next week as well And I'll see you next tuesday for another episode of this series And we'll probably have some news updates in between then so take care of yourselves my friends I will speak to you all very soon and uh until then take care and bye. Bye
