Hop over to the Teespring Store now, you can grab a 10% discount with the discount code Starter. Hi friends and welcome back to another episode of our VGC 2020 Battle Series. We are in the Ultra Series, my name is Lee also known as Osiris and we're going to be continuing on with this raid on team today. So we kicked off with it earlier in the week, we've had some really good games so far this weekend not all of them have went our way. So today I'm really hoping that things the tables turn, we get a few better results with the team and I feel like we're kind of getting a little bit more adjusted to it and how it's working. We had the Bandit Ray yesterday really catch us out and kind of clinch that game right out of our grasps in yesterday's episode and if you'd like to check that out before coming into today's one I'll link a card up there for you can go and check that out and then come into today's episode but the team is always down in the description below, there is a raw pace and a poker pace, check out the details and try it out if you would like to. Raid on is a core I find very interesting, you know it has on paper everything that doesn't make sense about it but it does function very well as a team. I think the one thing that I would possibly do for us to change this up is maybe change the ground on to be a bit more bulkier, a bit more defensively built and maybe have some other coverage moves. I think something like Dragon Claw could be extremely good on Groudon on this team but they're just everything's up for debate on this sort of team and we're still finding our way with it so lots to discover and we've got our first opponent in the episode we've got Charpedo 1526 rated player so we'll hop straight into it at least we'll find an opponent which is good and if you saw the promo at the start of the video while our opponent is kind of just taking his time coming in we've got the black screen of death going on but we had a connection issue okay so we'll carry on searching it's a little bit sad okay at least it's not on our end second time this happened this week we'll just continue on okay there was a promo at the start of the video we've got Sword and Shield coming out very very soon 15th of November and to celebrate that I've done three designs of the starter Pokemon three adaptations of the starter Pokemon we've got a team Skull Bunny shirt a team Sobble shirt and a Grookey Gang shirt so if you would like to grab one of those they're really nice designs put them together myself there's a promo video on the channel as well just showing you some sketches as I was doing it going along with those there is a 10% code at the minute if you use the code starter when you are at the checkout it will give you 10% off your order so if you do grab one remember to tweet me I tag me in a tweet I would love to see the shirt on or on Instagram as well and I will make sure to share out on Instagram and share your loveliness with one of these shirts on and it'll be interesting to see which team you guys are on as well so we've got Luka up as our first opponent of the episode so we'll hop straight into our first team preview okay so Luka is running a team of Groudon Salamence Incinero Tepufini Lunala and Staka Taka so it is that world championship winning call and I don't know if we've um we've played this team and Luka earlier in the week but it does feel very familiar I don't know I need to I should have a better memory for this but anyway we know about this team it's very solid offensively and defensively it's got trick room it's got tailwind it's got double intimidate it's very disruptive it's very good positionally and you kind of want to avoid the positions of Lunala in a tailwind with Groudon on the field and kind of reverse with a trick room up so um what are we gonna do we need Incinero I do feel like that I'm gonna go Incinero and Coco we're gonna bring Groudon for sure and I think we will bring our Requaza as well do we want speed control probably I think we'll be all right without it so we'll go for that and we'll see how we get on against Luka in this first one today feel a little bit rushed coming into this one today but hopefully it all pans out well um two losses yesterday are never good are they never good it was an entertaining episode I feel like the games yesterday were very good the teams that we saw diverse and there were some really unique things like the phytonians the uh Lunala which we very rarely see now catching us off guard um but uh total best of one sort of sidarius in a lot of them but um it's always nice to pick up the big w when you can um and it's unfortunate that we yeah we did miss out on that yesterday so we're gonna see Groudon and type a finny come out for my opponent okay right well do we just double tap the finny um I mean we could switch into Rey with uh Incinero the only problem is switching into Rey I don't really like um I mean one of the things we could potentially do is we could just fake out the finny and go for a volt switch into it as well if it's got protect though like this team sometimes has we're pretty screwed because we've locked in already um and it's not always a good presumption to think the finny's got uh not got protect because when it does and we saw it to good effect uh the world championships how how good it can be um thankfully we see the Groudon actually switch it out because we kind of I think made a bit too much of a risky play here to be honest um in all honesty if we really yeah I mean that's that that is the problem right there uh the finny protecting if the Groudon stays in Impressivus blades you know wearing wearing like a world of trouble so what we'll do is we will I think will you turn out with Incinero onto the opposing Tapu finny just to get some damage off there and we'll just protect Coco uh because of the fake out pressure that we've got coming on my opponent's side this turn finny gonna switch out uh we're gonna see Groudon come on to the field okay now the finny going away makes it the switching to Rey requires are a lot easier so I'm kind of tempted if we can get our Incinero out this turn um to pivot into our Groudon honestly um okay so we do get Incinero out maybe we see the opposing Incinero pivot out as well I still want to get Groudon onto the field I think and we might see the opposing Incinero pivot out and then Tapu finny come on to the field it'll be interesting to see what they do lots of pivoting lots of switching or positioning and uh I feel like we've got a way with one after that first turn really uh there's a U turn and it is into our Groudon so making sense and I think Tapu finny will be the Pokemon that comes back in here okay we know the Groudon on our opponent's side is likely gonna be quite bulky I'll get my Salman's coming out okay I don't mind this too much because we can potentially earth power the Groudon and go for a pharium into the Salamence hmm because we want to be able to stop the tailwind that's the one thing we need to be able to do we might lose Coco here Salamence gonna switch straight back out and Incinero coming here trying to cycle these intimidates thinking that we are physical Groudon but unfortunately we're not we're gonna lose Coco I think in the process which makes dealing with the Salamence a little bit more difficult um but we are pretty trigger happy with this pharium and that's one thing I've noticed like when I've got Coco out and it's maybe something to take note of going forward playing in this is you've got to really I feel with with pharium Coco you've got to be very patient I think that's like the art of playing the Zimu Coco you've got to be very patient and almost lock your opponent into a position where you can guarantee that you're gonna get the toggle that you want do you get the earth power into the Groudon we could have dazzled there that would have been a big play for us really because then oh Groudon hangs on okay just about um yeah the problem with dazzling there is if the Salamence stays in it can get a tailwind up which isn't really ideal we'll bring Incinero onto the field we do have precipice blades of our own um but I feel like Salamence is probably gonna come back out onto the field um we could fake out the opposing Incinero but I'm gonna switch into Rey and I'm actually gonna go for a U turn out into the Incinero here to try and get just preserve our intimidate I think but don't see a precipice blades coming out from the ground I could be wrong could be wrong but I would imagine the Groudon yeah does switch out and we'll probably see a double U turn in the Groudon come back in uh the Salamence gonna come back out onto the field get intimidate onto Rey and now with Coco gone it makes things a lot more difficult for ourselves we're gonna see a fake out it's gonna be into our Groudon slot but we do get the pivot out actually with Incinero onto opposing the Incinero and get Groudon back onto the field the problem is though we can't really prevent the Salamence now getting a tailwind up but we could potentially sword stance this turn um but we're too worried about what the Salamence is gonna be doing yeah and I think the Incinero well this is what we'll do we'll sword stance and we'll go earth part into the Incinero because to get rid of the Groudon this Salamence needs to attack which means it's not tailwinding and if it tailwinds here then it's not really it's we've got I think resources to kind of get around the tailwind because Groudon should see out this turn so we still have three Pokemon so we'll see the Salamence mega revolve mega revolve and we'll see what this Salamence goes for probably I would say more than likely Hyper Voice oh it goes tailwind so that's that's better for us because now we'll be able to get rid of this Incinero with an earth part get a sword stance up plus one the Groudon's in extreme speed range so as long as this takes down the Incinero oh it doesn't oh it's a solid vest okay it's into the ray um it's still not the worst because the Finney probably comes in now and then we've got our Incinero to come onto the field intimidate the Salamence then we've got fake at the next turn we've still got to switch back into Groudon if we want it um see what my pun is going to go for here's the tap with Finney we've got to watch out for the Z move here I think that's one thing that we need to be mindful of because I think this build the Finney has the Z move okay so we'll switch into Incinero then we have that fake out the next turn which we can make maybe utilize to go for another sword stance fake out the Finney rather than um going for an attack because once the tailwind runs out then we can can deal with the the Finney if we want to a little bit better and we're not so hindered by continuous uh uh intimidate cycling from my opponent okay so there's the hyper voice coming out so we're taking that pretty comfortably and there's the Z move all right now we might even be better going for a Dragon Ascent into the Salamence this next turn and faking out the Finney so we take that at least we've protected on it um and we'll see what my opponent goes for now now do we Dragon Ascent the Salamence I think we probably do because Salamence should take a double edge or a hyper voice yeah we'll fake out the Finney we might see double protect here from my opponent and if we do it's still not the end of the world because Finney's still at Incinero still in a decent position to pivot out the following turn um okay so the Finney gonna switch out we're gonna see Incinero come onto the field we'll get rid of the sword stance boosts still not still fine still fine because we might see a double edge from the Salamence here we could have doubled the Salamence okay yeah I'm just going for a hyper voice this should proc a berry on a prequaza yeah here we go get all that tasty health back and Dragon Ascent and just getting damage into the Salamence now is just all we want and you think like three of my opponent's four Pokemon are all in extreme speed range probably after this maybe not Salamence maybe after a U turn I would say potentially after a U turn okay um we need to get some damage onto the Mence to put it into extreme speed range honestly uh I'm gonna have to protect Requaza and I'm gonna U turn out with Incinero onto the Salamence because I think the Incinero on my opponent's side does it fake out I don't know I think it probably goes for U turn again recycle that intimidate support once more there's a fake out it's into the ray okay Salamence going hyper voice if this is enough chip then this works out so good for us I don't I really don't know if an extreme speed is going to be enough to get it but we've got Groudon to come out now and I think the Salamence has to go for a tailwind tailwind pit is out now is an extreme speed enough to get the Mence I don't think it is you know I really don't think it is but I think you've got to go for a tailwind again one thing we could potentially do is go dragging a scent into the Mence and and switch into Incinero here rather than Groudon keeping Groudon out and going for an earth power into Incinero because I don't think the Mence can pick up a knockout onto Requaza with anything it's got and I think with three Pokemon we've got a better chance of stalling out another tailwind I'm just doing this because I really don't feel like extreme speeds going to be enough if we were plus one I would definitely 100% all day go for that extreme speed into the Mence it is going for a tailwind again and the thing is now with Ray we are going to be able to get rid of the Mence but we need to keep Ray really for the the tap of finny and we've got an active fake out going into the next turn unless we see the U-turn from the Incinero which I'd imagine we probably do oh darkest lariat oh this could be bad there's one minus two defense there minus one oh wow that does like nothing okay that is a weak Incinero I'm surprised I thought that would do a lot more damage um yeah the tap of finny going to come back in now okay now we can potentially go for a sword stance fake out into the tap of finny might be the best port of call honestly knowing that that darkest lariat isn't doing really that much damage uh fake out finny go for a sword stance and the Incinero and the groudon are in extreme speed range we might need to sack our groudon here um finny gonna protect okay I don't think we could risk not faking out the tap of finny for all honesty we'll probably see a U-turn from the opposing Incinero which would make a lot of sense um but I think the next turn we'd probably just sack yeah we'd probably sack our own groudon switching it in protecting rey hoping the groudon goes down which it probably should which it will do and then bringing Incinero back in we got that fake out support to get around that last turn of tailwind and then we can clean up yeah I don't think we'd keep Incinero on the field now we need the fake out support the only issue is if we see the groudon switch out for for Incinero now um and the moon blast into our our Incinero taking our groudon down for us to come back in with Incinero and then they've got the faster fake out but then we just trade fake outs right and let's see fake out our Incinero and then requires us kind of left high and dry that would be bad but not the end of the world so precipice blades coming out this will be enough to get rid of our groudon heel pulse wouldn't be ideal from the finny now onto the groudon but moon blast that's fine I think what we need to worry about is um the opposing groudon oh man I'm running I'm running low on battery is this my charger okay let's hope this this works because my light is flashing there we go we're okay um so yeah we I think extreme speed the groudon and we'll fake out the finny the finny's gonna protect but like I say can't risk not faking it out and allowing it to get a moon blast off it's like the one thing that can take us down we might see the groudon switch out for Incinero um but this should be the last turn of tailwind now and if the groudon does switch out to the Incinero that that is fine because then we get rid of their fake out support which makes things a lot easier for us honestly so we'll see what Luca is going to do finny protecting yep that's fine this is the the other worst thing for us here really is that uh we get a fake out now and um extreme speed is going to take down the groudon now they do have an active fake out but we can just protect around it um and then we really need to take down the Incinero the opposing Incinero because we don't want to attack into the finny go down to minus three and then the darker slariot pick up and then knock out um we've got to hope that a plus one dragon of sense should get the finny which it should do I would imagine so let's go for he protects with ray and this is so obvious but I think if you're my opponent you've still got to well you have to make a call don't you and I think a good call is going for maybe fake out into Incinero but if you do that you're going to proc our berry so our Incinero will stick around I think you've got to fake out the Rayquaza moon blast our Incinero um to get rid of it so we'll see what they do we'll see I would love to see a fake out into our Incinero I just don't see them not faking out the Rayquaza here but if they make a call that is that's like super super fair player to to Luca for making that call protect our Rayquaza and we'll see a fake out into our Incinero that's perfect okay that's ideal okay now we can win the game and it's gold yeah it's still not going to be enough to do the job um because now our Incinero if it is faster than you're posing Incinero which would hope it is um it should be able to take down that before it can take down us or something along those lines so it's all about a plus one dragon ascent though into this finny finny probably protects here though um this is why we need our Incinero to be a little bit faster than theirs so if they do protect then we can knock their Incinero out before they knock us out so let's see what my opponent's gonna lock into it might not even protect the finny might be confident they can take it but here we go Ray for the win can we do it this has been a hard eat doubt battle it's not over yet you do take down the finny we are going to be able to win this game man that has been a hard hard match and we do have to be posing Incinero take down the knockout very good game to luka i feel beat after that my friends i do i feel beat it is a soft vest i think we figured that out earlier from the earth power damage um but extremely good game from luka um and um one that uh i hope you all enjoyed and the comfort of your own homes or wherever you are and you commute to work or at school or wherever wherever in the world you are watching this i do feel knackered now feel like the concentration which is just collapsing this next game now we'll be fine we'll be fine we'll be good we're on a we're on a good wavelength now so we'll um we'll search for an ex-opponent and we'll see how quickly we can lock into that um let's choose some music um team skull boss let's go for that we never have that so that's a nice one to have and um yes we are so next week we had a request to play uh zoned on on the channel so we will be playing zoned on on the channel and i think next week might maybe our last week of our ultra series content battle series anyway uh before we move into sword and shield because then that will take us up to what we'll be at that will take us into right let's get the calendar up that will take us to the the the first of november and then we'll have a week where we'll have pretty much just probably showdown probably more stream content and then we'll be going into sword and shield stuff so that's the idea so we're going to finish up the ultra series next week on the channel with zoned on a particular zoned on build looking forward to it it's a strong team and i think it's probably one of the strongest cause of the format uh people argue that it's not but i think that it's it's kind of coming good at the end of the format which indicates most of the time that it is going to be the best call we've got brennan up next 1836 rated spanish player have we played brennan as well or we definitely played a variant of spanish rain haven't we not with this team but we'll get into team preview and see what we're going up against so brennan bringing the team of kai auger requaza incinero ferrithone stack attacker and tap cocoa so the spanish rain variant has uh the double steel core protected by that rain from the kai auger uh requaza going to be the pairing restricted pairing with that kai auger you've got the intimidate faker support from the incinero and then the tap cocoa which is likely holding the z move maybe the stack attacker maybe double um but speed control on my opponent's team uh other than trick room they've not really got anything to um to take advantage of so we could um utilize our tailwind uh i think cocoa here for ourselves is an extremely good pokemon to bring um threatens the kai auger threatens the requaza as well pretty hard um incinero isn't bad suikun i do like a lot and growl do we bring ground on and do we bring a requaza i think we bring ground on because if we can manipulate the weather get that ray to mega evolve then we've got a good chance with our own weather and we need some extra firepower for stacker and ferrithon so we'll lock him with that we'll leave our ray at home which i don't know how comfortable i feel doing but i feel like with we've got tools on our team to deal with my opponent's team it's just playing it well and it's gonna be a tough tough battle obviously in the upper echelons of the 1800s they've been playing this team solidly and they've been doing really well so let's see if we can cause a little bit of an upset here my friends the flinch squad see what we can do so we're gonna uh same lead snap um who wins um okay so we're gonna see same leads coming out for me and my opponent um i want to really protect cocoa here and just pivot out with incinero i think um it's probably the best idea for us but we don't want to be pivoting into don't want to be pivoting into ground on just yet um so we'll protect and they protect and then you turn and then we you turn so we get the first you turn out all right well that's not the worst thing in the world do we bait them in with ground on do we bait them in with ground on no i don't think we do i think we bring sweet corn onto the field now bait them in with sweet corn and we'll see yeah the opposing incinero is definitely gonna go for um the u2 yeah oh it's into cocoa huh huh that makes things a little bit more interesting for sure um we could get a tail wind up here you know because i think sweet you don't take thunderbolt from this type of cocoa well that definitely will move all switch into the incinero we could snarl as well we could tail wind scald tail wind in's probably better though so we use our bolt switch into the incinero um and we don't get a ground on in here i don't think i think we get our incinero in just so we've got a bit of fake out support i don't see what my opponent goes for i wonder if they're tempted to go for the sweet corn with an electric type attack they've all switched yeah that's fine take a hefty chunk of damage for it but i mean it's not the end of the world we're gonna see you turn from the incinero what do we see coming kairoga yeah because what that player that they're gonna try and do i think they'll probably try and get um have a cocoa back onto the field and then pull the hard switch into ray to get the ray out and bait our ground on onto the field that's that's what i would think that we're trying to do but if we see ray come out it does make things a little bit more difficult well it definitely makes things a bit more difficult for us because we want the ray to mega evolve but i don't think my opponent's gonna do it lightly i think they're gonna buy their time yeah let's just have a cocoa now we could play the game where we got ice beam into the cocoa i mean we can fake out we could bring in ground on right now or we could bring in our cocoa i'm gonna bring in cocoa and fake out the the kairoga because it kind of deters the rayquaza from coming onto the field and at least with sweet kun in the back we've got um yeah there's the ray ray ray here we go um yeah at least we've got sweet kun in the back to be a decent switching for the kairoga now what do we do do we switch into sweet kun do we let the do we let the ray get a sword stance off that's the break question because there's a ballsy enough to do it in front of a tap of cocoa with potentially the farium the kairoga might protect now because it didn't protect that that last time i mean we say we trigger happy with the cocoa but i'm gonna do it i'm gonna go trigger happy with cocoa into ray okay so sweet kun coming out if you can get rid of the ray it makes the matchup a lot easier because then we got ground on just abuse against yeah i don't think we're gonna see that yeah we could have brought in our own ground on there that would have been the thing to do unless kairoga protects of course that would be the safe player thing for my opponent yeah okay well that's fine that's still not the worst thing in the world because then we've still got we've got skull we can take advantage of the next turn uh onto the incineroar and if that ray decides it wants to come onto the field again we do have ice beam we can threaten with we just want a berry proct on us we think that's the thing be interesting to see how much this does to the incineroar as well it's definitely in skull range though all right well we'll go for a we'll go for a skull into the incineroar and we'll just protect cocoa right now um yeah because i think if you are my opponent you'll probably fake out the cocoa um you've got water spout which swikoon should take and just proc that wiki berry so put this about where we are now higher with our health just a bit more maybe depending on what the the water spout does i hate these matchups though it's always like it's always so tricky to to get like some advantage over your opponent in these matchups so we're gonna see a fake out it is going to be into the swikoon um we should still take okay well there's a nice beam tailwind does pitter out okay well that's still not the worst um we can get rid of the incineroar now we can go for a skull or we could go for another tailwind to be honest um i'm gonna go for a uh i'm gonna go for a tailwind and i'm gonna go for a vault switch into the kayoga okay if this is rare which it is okay which is fine now we can't bring in we cannot bring in uh i'll go out on here now i'm gonna lose incineroar likely lose incineroar i think if we see an origin pulse but hopefully swikoon's berry gets procged and i think really the tailwind's probably the better option right now see what the kayoga does origin pulse come on swikoon take it please take it yeah it takes it like a champ and and incineroar takes it it's super nice okay that's good swikoon back in business and incineroar back in business so that's great we haven't lost anything either so that makes things a lot better for us um all right all right well interesting indeed uh we can go for an ice beam for sure into the ray we could skull that slot as well i'm gonna scald and i'm going to fake um what do we in the burn would be nice but i'm not gonna be doing very much ice beam would be nice uh i'll fake out the kayoga i just want to get damage onto the okay the kayogan switch out incineroar come in if we see the the ray mega evolve that would be pretty huge for us that would be great it might go for assault stance though that's the only issue and that makes things a bit more tricky for us okay we're gonna protect not mega evolve either which is interesting we get the fake out and an ice beam there we go okay so do we leave swikoon in to take an attack or do we bring in coco i think coco might be a nice switch for swikoon here and then we'll go for we'll go for a knockoff into the rick waza because it's likely holding the berry and if we can knock off that berry i know it would be useful for us to you turn pivot out so we've got the intimidate to come back in but at the same time if we can get rid of that berry it does make it a little bit easier to manage later in the game uh we are going to see a fake out from the incineroar it is going to be into that swikoon slot knockoff coming out we do get rid of that berry do some nice uh not nice damage no damage and we do see the sword stands come out from the ray all right well it's not the end of the world um i think we will go for volt switch out and we will pivot back in to swikoon and then we can what we'll do is we'll volt switch out with coco get incineroar back onto the field and just get rid of that sword stands boost because the ray is on plus one at the minute and potentially at the same time we're going to be able to get rid of the incineroar as well which makes i lost a lot easier there the ray is going to mega evolve all right where are we going to see we're going to see extreme speed maybe it's gone for it is it into the coco it's not going to be enough so unfortunately plus one not enough i'm going to lose the incineroar okay all right i'm going to get our incineroar back onto the field and then we'll see it'll probably be coco coming out from my pond i can imagine you're still going to switch into ground on if you want i tell when it does pitter out it'll be coco that comes in 100 percent we've got to watch out for the the farium though and now our coco is in a really nasty spot to deal with the ray because we are in extreme speed range that's the that's the problem here um we'll go for a fake out into the ray though i think we take a volt switch and a thunderbolt from the coco so we could potentially just go for another tailwind here yeah i think we will take it we'll take it thunderbolt yes we can i'm confident i'm feeling confident that we can we'll take this volt switch again yeah now this is perfect for us come on sweet corn for health yes the best dog best dog uh so we get a tailwind up that's pretty huge for us now because the ray it can take us weekend down you've got to think it can take us weekend down with um an extreme speed but um we do have the opportunity now to you turn out onto the cargo and get our ground on onto the field get our incineroar out have the ability to intimidate that requirement once again and nullify um the kayoga from going for its powerful water type attacks so i am going to go for that ice beam into the ray and i'm going to go for a u turn into the kayoga okay we're going to see the kayoga switch out we're going to see the rain lift and the coco come on to the field which is super fine uh extreme speed yep it's into this we can make sense to do that but now we get incineroar out onto the field with our ground on and we could get a cup of cocoa into the field but it's probably better to get a ground on out into the field right now yeah big boy ground on here we go we go for an eruption that might be an option or do we go for a precipice because we'll definitely the coco's pressured now so the coco has to protect uh we could eruption um we'll bring it incineroar because eruption will do well it's our only way to hit the ray really the minute isn't it um we kind of need to be able to do that we could pull a hard switch out into coco an eruption um since the kayoga comes in and we see the ray cross assault stance never going to be good is it um but they can't really switch kayoga in right now that's the that's the big thing they can't switch kayoga in so we could potentially eruption because the risk of precipice blades is too much so we'll we'll figure out the rain go for an eruption coco does protect i'd imagine ray cross will protect as well the scout what we're going to do yeah it makes sense okay now we can precipice and get rid of the coco we're not going to be able to get rid of the ray though that's the only thing is it is it minus one at the minute but we can get the weather control if we want going forward that's the thing we've got let's see what this rays okay it's minus one that's fine um yeah so i think the best play for us is going for the precipice blades we'll go for a u-turn into the ray and then we keep it in check we'll get a coco onto the field and i'd imagine the ray will go for assault stance here yep we could have went from the eruption but it's so risky like the kayoga comes in we don't get an attack off at least this way we definitely guarantee you get rid of the coco a little bit of damage onto the ray you'll get incinero out let's put it there and we'll get the coco onto the field once again it is in extreme speed range so that's not ideal we're in a bit of an awkward position right now as well um where the kayoga will come in yeah there's a sword stance and we could just precipice blades and dazzling gleam could we could we do that could we do that there's a precipice blade it's going to be enough to get the kayoga though that's the question i don't know if it is and do we forgot our weather control because really when it comes down to it um we still got no we've got no tailwind i think you've got to um like you extreme speed coco for sure here we kind of want to get a weather control out but i don't know if a precipice blade could be enough to get the kayoga which is the big problem whereas if we switch into incinero and then we protect coco which is like the the most straightforward thing to do here i think the only thing is if my opponent sees round this and goes for another sword stance then it's going to be very difficult to kind of come back from honestly um we'll see we'll see what they do but if they origin pulse here and it misses incinero this could be that could be pretty huge that could be really pivotal for us like really pivotal because then it gives us a bit more a few more options to kind of play with going forward there's a sword stance that's what i kind of i was afraid of and the origin pulse and we'll take that yeah yeah because now i think i'm kind of back in the same situation haven't we as before where you probably where you definitely extreme speed the coco what do you do you um yeah i think you've got to here and we could eruption but it's not going to be doing enough damage to the ray i mean we could go for a double protect with coco if we get a double protect that could be that could be pretty big for us i think um if we get it i think it's probably our best play at this point because i think you have to go for the extreme speed into coco we get it so we've got a chance we've got a chance maybe a chance there's extreme speed it is into the coco um i'm going to get this eruption off let's see what damage this does okay maybe ice beam it's going to be too much though this weakens the eruption yeah that's just disgusting damage this is why yeah well to be fair now we can't win this we can go for a precipice blades and we can go for a triple protect we need the we need to protect but we fail the extreme speed comes out my opponent knows that it's our only lifeline we'll get a precipice blades into the cargo but there's no way we can beat uh plus two um plus two ray unfortunately um and this is again kind of coming back to that point i made earlier about uh the bucket grow out on and gone maybe dragon claw here would be a lot better wouldn't it but um we'll give my opponent the opportunity to kick our butt as we go for an eruption um and uh i think we did well we did as well as we could we took a ride down to the wire and we're very close in the end but uh my opponent just had the the edge i think the match up wasn't as easy as it could have been for us and uh but we did as well as i think we did and very good game to brining and uh incredible game to have on the channel um so i can't be sad about the result a little bit sad about the result of course i would have liked to pick up the win but never mind very close and uh one of those games i feel like i'd love a best of three with so maybe in tomorrow's episode because we're gonna be ending up now we'll come back and we might bump into brining again that would be incredible and i'm sure you guys at home would enjoy it but uh that will wrap up today's episode a bit of a longer one today had two really slogish games so hope you've enjoyed them regardless we'll be back tomorrow to finish up with this team and uh before we move on to a new team next week have a great day whatever you're up to morning afternoon night and i'll see you all for the next one so until then my friends take care and bye bye
