 Hello friends and welcome back to another episode of our Pokemon VGC 2020 battle series My name is Lee also known as Osiris today We're gonna be playing a draggapult team as you can see on your screen right in front of you now It's gonna consist of a draggapult arcanine. They've forgotten about fire type That's still super relevant in this format at least I think so then we got the Taranatal weakness policy there Something I've wanted to play for a long time the Rotom Wash Roserade Primarily the reason behind using this team today I really want to give Roserade a try We've got the wide lens on it and another Pokemon an old favorite of mine is Aegislash kind of rounding up So we've got a double ghost type team here and I think it's gonna be a lot of fun So let's without further ado hop into this one And what I'm gonna do at the end of this episode is gonna have the rental team for you guys to try out If you'd like so stick around for that right at the end of the episode and I will post that before we finish Up today, so we've got our first opponent ratings kind of tanked from the last time But we'll climb and climb and climb to no regard we'll try anyway but our first opponent is playing a team of glacial nine tails incineral chandler garrados and Taranatal so we've got a kind of a hail core and obviously a sand core as well We have to be a bit careful with the hail core, but we can utilize a Taranatal to get around that Aegislash not bad here as well have to be a little bit careful with that chandler and the incineral Other than that, it's not too bad. And we've got a fast sash Aegislash, so we'll be able to kind of nab at least the Taranatal if we want to early on and Do I want to bring dragapult here the speed control could be good And that respect Arcanine pretty decent here overall Rotom good as well But Rosarade really looking quite good for getting these sleep powders I've got to be careful around these ice type Pokemon now for sure I am going to bring Rosarade since it is the the Pokemon that we want to be playing around with and Do we want to go a dragapult up top? Probably not I don't know if I want to lead Maybe Arcanine's not bad as a lead to be honest No, let's let's let's go let's go Arcanine. Let's go Tita and let's go Rotom And we're leaving that ghost behind. I can't believe it, but Tita was like a big Pokemon that we want to be taking advantage of here I feel so we'll see how we get on this first one It doesn't feel like the easiest one to start off with but More battles easy really come on No battle is easy Right, let's see so garrados and in-center all coming out for us. Just just fine. Um, the issue of course is gonna be The fake out into the Rosarade and the max airstream Which is gonna be a little bit of a problem given the garrados and speed boost But we can maybe play on that a little bit and go for a will always into the garrados Switching our Tyranitar into the Rosarade Because Tita is gonna be able to take both attacks pretty well And if we can kind of neuter the the garrados with a will always but that would be super nice I can't imagine Incineroar going for the Arcanine here knowing that there's the threat of the sleep powder from the Rosarade So and we'll go into Tita We've also got the nice switch into Rotom if we want to but we'll we'll stick with what we kind of initially thought And hope that's how things play out Whether or not it's like a super obvious thing That we're doing this and my opponent reads into it and thinks well the Rosarade is really threatened here So it's probably likely that we will switch it out or we will protect it And there is the threat of maybe wild charge or maybe willow whisper And then that would make sense for them to go for the fake out into the Arcanine And then the Max Geyser which would be very bad for us. They're bad indeed But hopefully fingers crossed it doesn't pan out like that And we'll see what my opponent goes for There's the garrados going for It's Dynamax But I would say it's more appealing to start going for these airstreams and get these speed boosts early on That's what I would expect the garrados to start and do and we'll see though. We'll see There's a fake out into oh no Arcanine Okay, it's not ideal That is really not ideal at all goes for the airstream still into the Tita and So now they have the speed boost We're gonna be able to take the Max Geyser. I don't think so, but And I think we have to preserve Arcanine now. I don't think we risk it I think we have to just max with Tita and Max Rockfall into the garrados Switch up Pokemon into Rotom here Keep Arcanine for later because I do feel like it probably a Max Geyser is gonna come out now from the garrados I don't think it'll go into the Tita though because I think it'll be scared of prokina weakness policy And that's the one thing I think we've got going for us right now I think unless you just want to get damage onto the Tita Then you go for it But I would I would say probably you'd be better off going for the Arcanine in this situation At least that's how I feel I would probably go about it I think I don't really want to proc the weakness policy and lose my garrados so early on So I think I'd probably Go for the Arcanine over the Tita in this situation but We will soon find out my friends and Was he the other option we got there's the Max Geyser coming out would be just going into the Incinerole The other one gonna eat that up because then The other thing it might have been better to go for would be the Incinerole get rid of that right now And then you still got Rotom. Oh Okay, well Me neither way this is fine So break break coming out nice tech then probably one that we'll see a lot more of I think going deeper into C series 3 of this format especially with all of the G max lap risk kind of kicking around but we do get a max rockfall off Interesting that the Incinerole at speeds are Tita as well So that's a speedy Incinerole But I mean we're still in an all right position really depends on what my opponent brings in next of course But we do have Arcanine with the Intimidate to kind of further neuter that Incinerole feel for my opponent Nytale's gonna come in We're not really gonna be able to stop the Auroraville, which is a little bit of a shame, but I Don't think it's the end of the world because we're gonna be able to get a rockfall up Depends if my opponent because we've got a couple of options here. I think we could ally switch Which might not be a bad idea Yeah, we're probably better going for the Alice which I'm what the only thing I'm worried about is Them going for moon blast brick break into Tita, which probably would take us down So this is the only reason I'm I'm more tempted to pull an ally switch here Just so we can get the rockfall off just so we can get a sand backup Yeah, but they go for the the Auroraville and we still got the Arcanine player the next 10 we're gonna be able to get our Sander so There's a brick break should just fuck ass it just bury Yeah, I don't think we're gonna be picking up any chaos, but oh Could be wrong. Okay too strong. Is that a crit? No. Wow. Okay. I think because it's it's probably more offensive and speedy It's not got the defense investment. It was kind of used to and it didn't get the intimidate off onto Tita prior to By to coming in so that Has definitely helped Tita is like one of those Pokemon. It's probably been like my actual favorite Pokemon since it got revealed in Generation 2 and I've used it like all my big events that I've done really well at in past and previous years And so it definitely holds a special place in my heart and I thought it's very good all season this year And it's it's crazy that it's taking me this long to actually start using it What do we want to prioritize to get rid of? Probably I could go for I could go for max knuckle, you know Might not be a bad idea from switching in Arcanine might be better So we've got at least a bit more firepower and or I could just go max rockfall I'll go max rockfall. I don't think Arcanine really necessarily needs the the attack boost I think we're gonna be fine regardless. Whatever happens here and I see winds obviously something that could come into play for speed control on either the glacial on all the The nine tails glacial is another favorite Pokemon of mine. I do love glacial Such a cool Pokemon, especially with Auroraville support as well. It's like it's pretty scary but it's deceivingly powerful, but Not strong enough even find Auroraville to take the the max rockfall Especially after the weakness policy boost, I mean, that's the the big thing for us here So and Tito just really stealing the show for us, which is pretty nice And I was a man sure how we get on with this team today, but so far so good But it's it's definitely not over yet. Let's let Arcanine get some glory here We'll just protect the Tito and get a nice clean win, but we don't need to because my opponent Pulls the forfeit and we take our first victory. So that's a nice start for us. My friends There we go Okay, I did say I was streaming on Tuesday, but things happened and I had like actually Probably like most of you I think the issues finished now But I did tweet out about an issue with connecting online with the switch on Tuesday, which is today So it's kind of put me a little bit behind with what I wanted to do for streaming today The issues resolved now, which is great. So we'll be picking back up on Thursday this week So if you are around make sure to come by Thursday and we'll do that But I hope you roll well I kind of would like to stream a bit more Depending on my situation if I'm gonna be working from home or if I'm having to stay at home soon Then obviously I'll have a bit more time to actually do some streams Which would be great because that's that would be ideal with what's going on at the minute Anyway, we've got Tyler Burden as our next opponent playing a team of Concorda the Dragapult Grimsnall, Silvian, Bravery and the Venusaur. Really nice looking team I like the look of this team. We're just fake out there and the bird Which kind of puts me off bringing the the Rosarade again, but Rosarade actually not too bad all in all Do we go Rosarade again? Do we go Rosarade as a lead? Kind of tempted to I really am because we had to be the majority of things in my points team like outside the Dragapult Okay, let's go. Let's go Rosarade. What's gonna be a good partner? Like Rotom's not bad. Honestly, like I think Rotom's not bad Although, you know that the thing that we could go is Dragapult because then we can start getting some speed control at least and keeping pace with my opponent I think we probably want to maybe the Arcanine and let's bring Rotom and Lock in a team before we time out. I Don't know. I'm kind of rushing through this right now I feel like Conkledo is gonna be a bit of an issue. We don't have the greatest answers to Conkledo Relying heavily on putting it to sleep and then like Dragapult for the rest of the time Which isn't really the greatest answers So maybe that's something on the team that probably need to address at some point and my opponent Identifying that straight away And bringing it out. Okay. Well, we're leading with two shinies We're getting all the style points here straight away. I'm gonna go for a sleep out it into the Dragapult And I'm gonna go for a Dynamax and I'm gonna go for the Max Airstream into the Conk. Get some speed control. We are gonna see the Dragapult withdraw Grimstone, I'll hit the field now, which is fine because if we can put this thing to sleep that is perfect I've got the wide lens on the Rosarade as well Because I initially I would have went focus ash, but it we needed it on the Agus slash for how we want to run the Agus slash so for This team it made more sense for the the moves that Rosarade runs like sleep powder leaf storm I just to give them an extra bit of a boost with them The accuracy there. So that's the reason why there's a Max Airstream. Which is nice It's probably guts Conkledo. I would imagine Protecting like Normally you're gonna see protect on guts Conkledo with the Flame Orb, but I think we'll be Alright because we get the sleep powder, which is great for us I don't think we need to worry about the Conk because even yeah, there's the Flame Orb It's probably gonna go for like a Mac punch into Rosarade and imagine. We'll just start sludge bombing the Grimstone We'll go for the Max Airstream again into Conk, which should take it down here And if anything does come in on it, it's gonna take a chunk of damage at the same time So I really like the Max Airstream option on Dragapult. It's such a fast Pokemon anywhere But it gives like such good utility through our CTV getting it off first the dynamic speed changes in the format now With a generation even so you're getting that speed boost like automatically pretty much on to any partner in Pokemon So it's really useful really strong So it's something it's something I don't see played like too often and whether or not it's down to just having the room for it Or not, I don't know, but I just feel like it's such a good utility a lot of players need to be picking up on it a bit More and we'll get another one off give Rosarade that plus two speed boost We aren't gonna see a Mac punch from the Conk So it's gonna just go down without really doing very much We'll get a super effective sludge bomb into this Grimstone because Rosarade's pretty powerful as well. So let's see how much this does say probably around 50% I'd imagine Wow Okay, okay Sorry my dude the crit Okay, okay. Well, we'll take it. We'll take it. We'll take it. You've got to take these things when they get presented to us We can't can't Not take it to Sylvia. I'm gonna come in now and drag approach Okay, well they can still max something and I think we probably want to sleep out of the Sylvion and Go, I mean we could double the Sylvion to be honest a kind of Hmm, but then we double the dragon pool. I'm just gonna max fantastic the dragon pool because we should get it It is good the dragon pool is gonna max so the interest of the sea how much damage this does and where the opposing dragon pool Tax into is probably into our Rosarade. Ha. Oh, okay Sylvion going for the max This one it was the dragon pool, but we'll take that if we can put that to sleep then it makes this matchup so much easier Yeah, this is into dragon pool. They should definitely take it down. Yeah, no doubt about it and then As long as the sleep powder hits We should be in business to close this one up pretty quickly Rosarade on point today and Yeah, we're in a great we're in a great spot now to just close this one up Phantom Force and sludge bombs should do the trick So yeah, let's go sludge bomb and let's go Phantom Force And even if the silver well the Sylvion it's gonna have it could wake up this next turn I guess but then dragon pool. This is a beauty about Phantom Force as well it kind of pulls you out of the off the field for at least a turn to give us at least two sludge bombs anyway, which Rosarade is gonna be able to Deal with I mean mystic mystical fire could be an issue of course It's a phantom force and the sludge bomb should be enough. I think depends on the item of the Sylvion. Let's see But you still got Pokemon in the back, so we're not in the worst situation ever Yeah, I think sludge bomb is gonna do it now. It's a nice chunk of damage in sludge bomb. Oh Just hangs on It wakes up. Let's see where it's gone. Max flat into our whole Rosarade But we take it we tank it Rosarade so good Rosarade is like the best grass type. Why have I not used it before now? The reason I wanted to use you Rosarade is as well a lot of players have been using it recently So this is the reason about wanting to feature it today We'll take advantage of the Sun and we'll go from a flamethrower just to Clean this one up and we do pick up a nice win. So and yeah, two really nice games today. Good game there Tyler I hope you guys have enjoyed it. I I definitely have if you can't tell already But yeah, it's been a lot of fun. We'll probably play this team again later in the week but like I normally post the rental team later in the week, but Like I said today what we're gonna do. Let's see where ranking is. So I'm so so wrapped up with the ranking at the minute I just I like to know how we're doing the old times But not playing like consecutive days and for long periods of time It's kind of hurting because every time I come back the ranking kind of drops down a little bit Okay, well, we'll probably back to around where we left off last time. I guess Rental teams. This is what we need. This is the goodies you guys are looking for so If I remember on as well, I will put a poker face down if it's not up initially I will update it or add it to the next episode with this team. So if you guys Want that do just ask remind me what team we're gonna get rid of though So many teams is it time to get rid of the ice cube? I do love that team though Let's get rid of this one. This one's yeah, don't make public get rid of this one Yeah, this one's kind of generic generic. We'll replace an arca-9 team for another arca-9 team, I guess But we're gonna call it the rosary team For the sake of this so make it public. That's what we want to do But yeah, the team super nice it feels good, it's got a lot of options got a lot of mods to it You take advantage of things with the rosary We want to check it and there we go my friends There is the rental team for you all to to grab test out and try so I hope you enjoy it and more than anything I hope you've enjoyed today's episode.
