 Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our Road to Ranked roulette series My name is Leigh also known as Osiris and we are here our final day in our weekly cycle of our Road to Ranked roulette series Make sure you do before anything go over to our community section of the channel and get your nominations in for next week's selections for that roulette wheel team and I'm hoping your selection does come out Thank you so much for all the continuous nominations that we do get and be persistent like I say a lot of people before this week Had been voting for the same Pokemon week on week and it never came out until this week and it finally did So thank you to each and every one of you go over there check it out nominate for next week And I'm already excited to see what selection of Pokemon I'm gonna bring out in the roulette wheel next week But before we get into anything today, we didn't have the best of episodes yesterday. We're sitting on five losses three wins so We're in distance to tie things up and finish at least even going into this week with this squad Which I feel like it needs to do and what I'm gonna do is actually activate our randomizer button I'm not gonna activate both buttons today. I'm gonna activate just our randomizer today So I'm gonna throw over to the wheel to select one Pokemon from the team to be taken out And then one Pokemon for the wheel the roulette wheel to select to bring in so I'm a bit nervous about this Let's see what the roulette wheel is gonna take out for us this week It's Haxerous the one thing that has been doing a lot of work. I've loved Haxerous this week, but it has gone out Okay, let's see what we're gonna bring in. Let's head back over to the wheel and see what the selection is gonna be Charizard, okay. Thank you so much for the nomination nappy Charizard into the team And I think basically what I'm gonna do is really mix the team up Okay, we're sticking along the dragon theme of course that we've had all week long And because we had the selection and nomination about God of War earlier in the week being scoffed We had Haxerous scoffed earlier in the week, so I'm gonna change the God of War 2 a scoff set take the mega away And I'm gonna actually run mega Charizard X. I think it's a cool option to have in the team So here's the team the team is down in the description below There was a rope paste poker paste if you want to check out the details have a look peruse over it We've changed a few things around with the team. We've taken guillotine off the crab Give it ally switch there just to give the team a little bit more stability to get around some really big weaknesses that we've got there We've kept the wide guard there the Salazzles stayed the same with the taunt the Poisonium Z. We've got Char X here So that's gonna be a nice addition to the team. We've also got that nice ground immunity finally here to the team We've got the scarf God of War here with trick destiny bond as well I'm gonna be able to do some decent damaging disrupt opponents same Curem and same Palkia So without further ado, let's get in today's episode. Let's get a couple of wins today. That would be incredible music is on We're ready to go if you do enjoy this content as always guys Please remember to drop a like on the video to subscribe to the channel and do leave your comments down below Let me know what your thoughts are on the games that we've been playing and have played this week And what your thoughts are on this week's today's episode as well because I'd love to hear what your thoughts are on How the team is being performed from your eyes. We've had some incredible episodes this week You know, I'm not gonna dampen it by a score our score is not the main thing that we're concentrating on here Of course, we'd like to be doing better, but in a format which is established full of solid teams It's always gonna be difficult when you're using just randomly selected teams with no theory behind why they're put together and Trying to make them work, but that's the beauty about the series. That's why it's fun That's why it's enjoyable we get to use these crazy Pokemon and just have a lot of fun with them So we're searching for our first opponent. It's gonna take that's not there. We go Dominic from Germany first opponent straight over into team preview So our first opponent today running a team of tapu lele crowbat so go leo kyoga Metagross and clefki. It's got all the steel all the steels all the steel someone doesn't like zernius I feel you've got some really hot checks here restricting combination between the so go leo and the kyoga there Possibly scoffed lele. I always say this tailwind support definitely from the crowbat You could have trick room support from the so go leo probably gonna be mega Metagross and then the clefki without prankster ability can cause all sorts of issues for us and so God of War has a tough time here as well as cure them Man if you can get a trick room up though will make things make life so much easier for us I don't know if we're gonna be able to do it straight away though with something like crowbat potentially sitting on the field I could bring Charizard and that might be nice and and cure him as well could be a decent option there I'm inclined to bring kingdra Kingler could be good to help us set the trick room up a late game with parkia and clean up So there's the selection that I'm gonna go for I'm not bringing the God of War here But we will we will select these four and hop straight in in good luck to my opponent See if we can get off the mark today. I feel like we're desperate for a win I don't like coming off the back of an episode with two losses. I never do I never like losing at the best of times But you know what? It doesn't matter as long as we're having fun with it That's the main thing and as long as you guys are enjoying it as well We're gonna see double steel come out here clefki and metagross for my opponent as we lead off with that delicious Charizard and lovely huge wired up cure him a white with its turbo blaze ability and Oh, could we go dragon dance? We haven't got flare blitz on the the char because the one thing that I didn't want to do was be Like useless against Kyogre and at least if we got thunder punch we can do something. It does make us a bit Worse off against things like metagross I'm gonna go earth power just in case we see Kyogre switching onto the metagross We're gonna see metagross switch straight out gonna see Kyogre coming. So good job. We didn't go for that fusion flare We could have went into the clefki but metagross gonna Bid it's time for later on in this match probably a little bit scared of the potential flablets from the Charizard or overheat or whatever Potentially coming out from from that side, but we will see the Kyogre Come in the earth power is going to be invaluable damage here. We can pair it up with Thunder punch this next turn from a dragon dance Clefki going for a reflect not the ideal move that we want to be seen there, but we do get the dragon dance It does mean that we're gonna be able to pressure the Kyogre, but the reflect really hurting us a lot there We're probably gonna see screens from this clefki. I would imagine that's the Aim of the game for my opponent We'll go for a thunder punch into the Kyogre regardless anyway I think that's always a good option and we'll try and get some damage onto this clefki with an earth power I Think clefki here probably goes light screen. I imagine yeah, it makes a lot of sense to do that The thunder punch is still gonna do a good chunk of damage to this Kyogre And so it should take us out of water spot What? Okay, we're back in business Reflect what is reflect reflect doesn't matter a damn thing with that To close boost and even after the light screen was still getting good damage onto the clefki So Cure and putting in some nice work Charizard X putting in some nice work already So getting rid of the Kyogre is one of the biggest problems that we had for this team We've got all these steals to deal with but I mean Yeah ordinarily if we had flatlets on Charizard X we'd be sitting in a much better position, but We don't have it, but my opponent doesn't know that you've got fusion flair there on there on a good old cure So that's all right Do we just go thunder punch into clefki? I think yeah, let's try that and what have we got in the back because King the park yeah, hmm the best options against The Metagross, but we can go fusion flair into the Metagross and try and get some damage onto it there. Metagross just going for a protect It's not revealing the mega evolution yet and a clefki going for thunder wave It is going to target down into the Charizard Slots down quite considerably We'll get the thunder punch off is it gonna be enough this time by in the reflect Not quite not quite so clefki gonna stick around for at least another turn just fine Did we just thunder punch I'm not really worried about the clefki right now to be honest So I'm gonna double up into the Metagross fusion flair and the thunder punch trying to get some damage off Thunder punches probably our best option and Charizard to hit the Metagross if we had flare blitz Obviously that would be the one thing that we could utilize and probably pick up an easy one hit kill even behind a reflect Mega mega Metagross revealing itself Gonna be able to do some big damage to Cure and but I'm confident Cure and can take at least an iron head Yeah, there's a thunder wave coming up from the clefki here Then the wave one of those Options that we rarely see in the format now Wow meet your mash. Can we take this? I don't know if we can Now now we can't we can't take it gets the boost as well. Are you kidding? That is not what we want to be seeing Do get the thunder punch off, which is nice, but at the same time, it's not really helping us out too much We're gonna have to try and bring park earring and go for this trick room Protect Charizard Definitely this next turn Because I think the Metagross probably has stomp and tantrum that attack boost really doesn't help us out at all That's really really frustrating Really frustrating, but I mean, what can you do? What can you do? You just have to deal with it as a thunder wave Into palkia and I'd imagine stomping into the Charizard Yeah Yeah And we get the trick room up, okay It's not too bad And the thunder wave obviously helping us out now Does the Metagross protect I feel like the Metagross probably protects here I'm gonna go hydro pump into it anyway, and I want to try and take down this clef key with Charizard So I'm gonna thunder punch the clef key take away those screens because the light screen the reflector run out this next turn Okay, we're gonna see it. So good. They're gonna hit the field. I've only had flare blitz If we only had flare blitz Hydra pump because of the light screen not doing as much damage Charizard paralyzed We're gonna see the stomping tantrum now I don't know if Charizard be able to take this to be honest, but Yeah, if not, then we do get we do get King Leirin. So King Leir will be able to do some work now in trick room, it's It's an a really nice place to start doing some stuff There's the reflect worn off yet, or is that clef key got like light clay? That's definitely got the light clef. How long have we got left for it? Yeah, lots lots and lots and lots. Let's grab hammer Metagross and go for a hydro pump into Sogaleo Try and get some damage off there. I mean, it's not out of our grasp just yet The Sogaleo is causing us issues for sure But I still think if we can we can deal with the Metagross It's obviously protecting we'll be able to get it in the next turn But if two hydro pumps can get the Sogaleo Stolen out these trick room turns Okay It's kind of working in our advantage and not as well as their trick room turns are depleting their screens are depleting as well Crab hammer will be enough to take it down. It's just about like the Sogaleo The good thing is King Leir is is more defensively bulky than it especially defensively bulky So against the Sogaleo, that's primarily a physical attacker. We should be able to take these attacks a bit better It's just about landing our hydro pumps and not be paralyzed And lots of other things in between now. We should be able to get the map Okay, Metagross gonna switch out wants to try and stall this trick room out a bit Sacrifices in the cleft key to come in here, which will go down to a crab hammer Hydro pump does connect. Can we two hit kill that? We're just gonna miss out on it, you know Shame Bit of a shame Well, what's the Sogaleo gonna do though now? That's the interesting thing. So then headbutt, okay I mean King Leir will take this And pretty comfortably as well the reflect now wearing off The problem is the trick room is gonna end before we're able to really capitalize on anything And hmm, I mean we go crab hammer and to Metagross anyway We could double the Sogaleo slot I feel like I might be an idea to do crab hammer, Sogaleo, hydro pump, Sogaleo Let's do it. There's probably double protect coming But if they try and get cheeky and don't protect the Sogaleo, we do punish that but they do do do go for that, so That's fine Ice cream, okay. I mean the one thing we could potentially do is ally switch and trick room If we can get a trick room up it will be huge for us And then I think we can close this one out And the light screen I think it's just worn off so there's the little crab doing the ally switch thing being a pest as always So there's then headbutt going into Yeah into the park here trying to go for that para fusion and stomping into Perfect, we can get the trick room up. We get it up. Yes, we do it. It's fine Okay, we can we can win this one the crab and the dragon There's a story for you hydro pump. Sogaleo will go for the crab hammer into the metagross And that's what we needed that's definitely what we needed hydro pump does connect no light screen is Enough crab hot coming out the crab king crab gonna pick up a big victory for us today. No Are you kidding? The crab, I'm a missus. Oh, we've still got chances though. Okay. We need to go hydro pump Come on crab. Why are you doing this to us crab? Don't do this to us hydro pump Okay, I'll get picking up the victory king crab You still king crab to me but very very nice way for us to kick off the episode today I'm way happier with that and it pulls us to four wins five losses So we've still got a chance to tie this up for the end of the week and give this team an Exceedingly good send off the chargers are there was incredible and doing so much damage to that coyote even behind a reflect Tough close boost thunder punch was amazing. So really big props to chargers out there The team just in general just did well pocket even did well there didn't it didn't get paralyzed fully paralyzed once Which I didn't want to mention in case it did jinx us. She's always the way isn't it? So We'll get into our next one And hopefully we can finish up level this week I mean that would be the dream and what we're gonna do is go back to our old your favorites You know, I'm I'm too bad for this and across my vision, too We're gonna give this team a good send off and try and do make some waves Hopefully we can bring the guard of war and do something with it in this next game Being it'd be incredibly good if we can get it working and trying and do some work with it Because I feel like It deserves some some time in the spotlight, but the crab has been doing well all week Salazzles had its time. It's done. Well Haxeris was amazing when we had it in the team. Shiftry did some work Dialga was really good when we had it in the team Park is getting better as the week's going on curams being solid and Like I say the guard of war it is your time to shine Looks like it's gonna take a little bit longer to find upon than I would have liked So what I'll do is just cut right now and we'll come back as soon as we find an ex opponent And we got an ex opponent in the episode and maybe a final one of the week. So let's get straight into team preview Looks like a good one. We've got nine tails canto nine tails. Then we've got chair. We've got groudon Smigal tapu lele and Rayquaza. So we've got a red on combination Something that's picking up a little bit of popularity now at the back end of the ultra series a very strong Combination then you got the chair in there that boosts special attack I think and special defense of groudon when sun's up. I'm pretty sure with that flower gift ability The Smigal is gonna be the disrupt Pokemon of the team for sure Trick room all day long if we can get a trick room up it really will make things so much easier for us We'll go Salazar will go Palkia I Mean dragon dance wouldn't be bad on Charizard either to be honest We could kind of go down that route to begin with and then go down a Palkia and God of War root late game potentially and You know what might be better actually is just going not for Salazar because I think the Lele could potentially lead going Palkia and Do we want Salazar What do we want cure him because cure him could also be quite good late game here I think I think we'll go cure him and we'll go down a mega Charizard X route. So good luck to my opponent Let's try and do this one And we'll bring the God of War. I just worry a little bit about the Smigal leading here And it's potentially sporing all over us knowing that we've got we're quite vulnerable to sleep My opponent identifies that and team preview then it could be pretty tricky for us And I think just having the scoffed option as a leaders. It's just nice anyway We're gonna see Smigal and Groudon come out. So we could have went with that Salazar. Fortunately, we didn't but it's fine And we're gonna have to contend with at least fake out. Yeah, we're gonna see Trace We get the moody moody boost. So that's good. We always like it in moody God of War, don't we? And there's Primal Groudon. I think the nice thing here is that you can potentially just get rid of the Smigal here We can like double into it if we want to I Kind of more inclined to protect Charizard though than anything else You can also trick Smigal as well Hmm We could destiny bond and hope that the Groudon takes us out and get rid of the Groudon which would make it a lot easier It just makes it a bit more difficult to get rid of the Smigal I think I'm gonna size shock it just to get damage onto it just knowing how disruptive it can be Okay, it's gonna switch out Charom gonna hit the field Okay, good old Charom coming in Transforms Charizard protects we could have went for a dragon dance And maybe we see a rock slider done. I'm starting shock. I'm gonna get it into the chair I should do a nice chunk of damage Oh, it is rock slide as well. Okay, not ideal God of War definitely taking too much damage there. We do get a moody boost especially attack would be amazing We keep guardie for later, maybe that's a better option And Because we could mega evolve and dragon dance now We'll be able to take a rock slide and potentially bring in bringing Cura Yeah, I'm more inclined to do that. All the pocket would have been better for taking the rock slide Hopefully you don't see a precipice blades. Yeah, that's the one thing we will want to see want to see a rock slide come out Charom protecting okay, that's fine. We'll get the dragon dance I mean the rock slide is still gonna hurt. It's just not gonna kill us Like it would have done pre mega evolution The rock slide does hit Oh man That is disgusting that damage is crazy. Um We might have to just get rid of the Charom here, um, and then go for Oh man We're gonna have to just go ice beam. I think into ground on we could go icy wind icy winds probably better Man, I don't know if we're gonna be able to win this one now We're taking too much damage from this ground on without really getting much in return from it We'd have been better going destiny bond locking with with god of war to take this this ground on down And then preserving charizard for later in the game. I think To deal with the other threats that aren't ground on with rock slide I mean most of the time ground on doesn't have rock slide. So we get away with that charom getting a double protect as well. That's Perfect, isn't it Screw you charom The rock slide if it misses that would be ideal But I just can't see it happening now and there's no way we've we've got a way to To to beat the ground on rock slide hits. It's going to take everything down Obviously with the attack boost giving it the rock slide even more And this feels like a little bit of a whimper to the end of the episode, which is really sad But we're not out of it just yet um The double protect there definitely It's frustrating, but what can you do and I don't think park it can win this by itself I mean that the chair was probably not putting on too much offensive pressure Um Okay, uh, let's protect park here I mean, do we protect or do we just go trick room? Um, I kind of want to protect to be honest and then destiny bond This was straight helping hand. Yeah, there we go Watch your precipice blades and miss This would have been the better thing to do like turn one and turn two Okay, it does hit. So we'll be able to take down the ground one depends on my opponents So it'll be the requiser at a margin and maybe Maybe we can do it I just don't see like if we can take down the requiser I think we can win this game because I don't feel like this megal Puts on any offensive pressure at all Um, the chair. Um, it depends what it's got. We know it's got protect, you know, it's got helping hand Has it got a grass type attacking move? I don't know. It's likely to Um It's frustrating though It's definitely gonna be the rate. I think if it's not the rate then there is More of a chance, but this is the problem then this megal comes in can spore us Then cause all sorts of problems That way, but they're not putting on offensive pressure. So there's not really much threat of them knocking us out. They've got a really Adjust from here unless the chair has it's got sunny day Wow sunny day chair Yeah, okay. It's probably got solar beam. I don't really understand. I mean for this specific Like situation the sunny day works, but outside of that. I don't really see it being That optimal a move to have on chair To be honest in this in this format with like the superweathers, but There's this fall So it it comes down to whether or not the chair has got solar beam or an attacking move or not um, if it has then It gives my opponent a chance seed bomb It's not even solar beam This megal is going to be sashed as well. That's the problem. Um, so like being able to deal with this and the chair The same time is just not Not really going to work Yeah We need at least another pokemon to help us out here and I sleep Like vulnerability is just getting till when smiggle What is going on in this world? um park here Staying asleep going to take another seed bomb and we're probably going to go down to these seed bombs, which is Like the whimper going out that I didn't want really moody boost accuracy and special defense Um, let's go for another special rend into the smiggle. Hopefully we can take it out We could go trick room here. I mean, but this I I don't really feel anything we do now unless it's megal It's not sashed and then we can Potentially take it down But we'll have to see We will have to see Let's transform. Okay. Well, we might be oh transforming to chair. Um, ha double chair and power There's one who got one seed bomb left and we stay asleep maximum sleep turns. So that is it What a crap way To go out today, but you know what? I'm not gonna I'm not gonna take anything away from the team that we've had this week just a horrible last game here, but Um, just odd things throwing us off The team on a haul has done amazing. I hope you've enjoyed this week's run with the team. It's been great I have had an absolutely amazing time. But there are some real highs earlier in the week We saw some really good games as well. We're finishing for Four wins. Yeah four wins six losses So it's not too bad. I mean, it's not the worst. We've had worse definitely But next week as I keep saying it's gonna be the week that we're gonna finish positive And we're gonna have some good results. Um, I hope that you've enjoyed it guys Make sure you get your nominations over on the community post For next week's roulette and we'll throw the pokemon back into the wheel and select a brand new team coming Monday Have a fantastic weekend. Leave a comment down below Let me know what your thoughts on the team for this week and what you'd like to see possibly going into next week And I will see you all on Monday for another one.
