 Hello friends and welcome back to another Pokemon VGC 2020 battle series My name is Lee also known as Osiris and today on the channel. We're gonna have a little bit of a different video We're gonna have a dubbed over video because unfortunately I record this episode a few nights ago got to the end of the video and realized that I Hadn't got my mic on it was muted. I was really devastated because this is really a generally great episode I I kind of reached out to you guys to see if you wanted to see the battles and me dubbing over it So here we are and we're playing the G max Gengar team that we featured on the channel Thursday evening If you haven't checked that out do go and check that episode out another great episode with this team Perish trap team G max Gengar G max Lapras and made up around the lie pod the incineroar gothtel and conquered there and The link to the last episode will be up in the description, but I hope you enjoy this one this I did make the joke about a badly dubbed Bruce Lee movie and It's already feeling like that with me sitting down the corner just Not making any sense to what I'm actually saying But if you can get aside that we'll get into the battles I'm gonna just skip right forward into our first one today because there's no need for Intros or anything like that So as always if you do enjoy this sort of content obviously not the the dubbed content But actual content with me talking do drop a like on the video to subscribe to the channel for this sort of content More Pokemon news content and guides and all those goodies So we'll get into it and we'll look for our first opponent and like magic. We found our boss So let's get into the team preview here We can see that our boss is running conquer the ex-good rail you wrote a more straggable Arcanine and the toga kiss So it's pretty hard kind of rest Retrospectively me looking back because I know what to expect from this team But if you're looking at it from face value, and it's kind of a standard looking team You know, you've got the trick room cover there with the conquer and you've got redirection Obviously works super well to the case the dragapult and the ex-good rail all making up that fantasy core there And then the Arcanine with its intimidate support got utilities like safeguard to help against spamming Status and things like that and then the Rotom that could be a bit of a threat kind of I am in a little bit of a way Because the dragapult Kind of put off by bringing the Gengar and lie pod lead here because dragapult such a threat to Gengar Especially if it does max and it's bulky like we've seen those weakness policy variants running around recently But at the same time I don't really want to bring Lapras because of the toga kiss Rotom leave that I kind of feel like would probably Maybe suit my opponent a little bit better Which is why I've went down the route of going with the Gengar and the lie pod pick here because with the lie pod We've obviously got the copycat where we can get the parish song up if we are G max And we also have access to thunder wave that can shut down the dragapult and allow Gengar to kind of get a turn off prior to it attacking or doing whatever it wants to do setting up And the only issue here would be dragapult leading out with something like toga kiss But even though we don't have fake out on a lie pod We can still kind of pressure my opponent into thinking that we've got fake out to to force maybe a turn Where we can get a little bit of an advantage with our G max Gengar and at the end of the day You know, we've got the sash and the Gengar so it's not the worst thing in the world We are able to take at least one attack from the dragapult and get an attack off And if that means trapping in something like the toga kissing going from there that so be it will play around And we'll take things as they come so we are gonna see my opponent lead off with the arcanine dragapult straight away, you know You have to identify here. Is this a beat it up? arcanine Dragapult combination because it's something that we saw very early on in the season and it's something that we need to deal with Commonly you see the dragapult on these teams have potentially a sash. It's a bit like the dragapult colossal combination You know, you want to make sure that your dragapult is supporting that arcanine if that is the strategy But we're just gonna G max here and go for a thunder wave and double into that dragapult now It's a little bit of a dull edge so it could kind of go against us But what we're hoping for here is no sash and not a bulky dragapult There is the chance that it could Dynamics here as well. So that's something that we need to watch out for but we'll see what happens is you get into this turn as We are gonna see a dynamics from my opponent's side of the field and which one will it be? Let's see It is gonna be is the arcanine. Okay, so is looking like it's gonna be that beat up Combination with the dragapult they're going to beat up on the arcanine activating that justified ability getting that plus for attack and Then things go terribly wrong after that but we do land the thunder wave onto the dragapult here, so that's a good start for us and No protect there or Phantom Force, which is great. All of the underway would kind of prevent that anyway And but we do get the G max terror into that slot No sash and pick up the knockout onto the dragapult Which means if it is the the beat up combination like we're kind of suspecting that there is no beat up there And the arcanine just has to go for a plain old attack Unboosted it isn't to the lipo. Unfortunately. We do lose our ability to copycat here And the arcanine does get an attack boost So we're not going to be able to get off that kind of max guard copycat perish song play this next turn But it's not the end of the world. We're still in a decent ish position And we've got to make a decision here. Do we bring in goth the tell or do we bring in lapras now lapras probably Isn't a bad idea right now for the perish song if we want to go down that route Oh, we could bring in goth the tell because it's got access to fake out whatever comes in next to arcanine We can fake it out with the goth the tell we've also got the trap then activated even though the arcanine is still trapped We can trap the other Pokemon coming in and goth the tells generally a little more bulky I'm gonna be able to take attacks probably a little bit better from arcanine than the lapras right now because you've got to be worrying About the wild charge that the arcanine is probably carrying. We do see my opponent bring in the excadrill here So the excadrill does threaten the Gengar like massively with high horsepower its grants stabs and all that so but The one thing that we do have that the choice the decision to bring goth the tell was a good one because we now can stop The excadrill from attacking and now my train of thought here is because we've got the sash on the Gengar We go from max boost a special attack here on the Gengar So the next turn we've got the option to take down the extra drill all the arcanine because we are faster with a boosted Max terror so you can see the fake out into the goth the tell the max ooze here into the arcanine I'm not really scared at this point for Gengar because we do have the sash, right? Like we've got that little line of security Whatever the arcanine decides to throw out if it does go into the the Gengar then we'll be fine We'll go down to a sash, but they're opting to go for a goth the tell that's fine We're nice and bulky anyway, so we're able to take that plus one boosted flare blitz Now the Sun's up that causes a little bit of an issue For us for sure because now the the max flare will be able to obviously take down the goth the tell this next turn Or take Gengar down to its sash and now the option is do we target the arcanine or do we target the extra drill here now? Because we've got a sash. I'm more worried about the extra drill attacking into the the Gengar here It could protect and stall at the last turn of the G max from us But I think like hmm if we can get this knockout here really makes it a lot easier for us at the end of the game again The Gengar still got its sash intact, so we're not too worried about that and if we lose goth the tell at this point It's not the end of the world We still got Lapras in the back to come in help support the Gengar and potentially get a parish song off And that's a if that if it comes down to that But we are plus one now after that max who's the last turn So we should be able to pick up the knockout onto the extra drill We actually opt to protect here the goth the tell just in case we see the arcanine attack into that slot We do get the G max terror into the extra drill So we do pick up the knockout there to nice clean one hit kill And the arcanine gun from max flare and it will be into the goth the tell again Okay, so that protects pretty nice and actually making sure that the goth the tell can actually survive in that's quite a big Thing here because my opponent down to their last two Pokemon We've got the option now with our Gengar where we can potentially click the parish song button And if we do that then we've got at least three Pokemon where we can switch around to kind of stall out these parish song turns That's what we choose, but at the same time Gengar still got a sash It's plus one so the sludge bomb is likely to pick up the knockout onto the arcanine So we've got a clean easy way to get the arcanine here And then all we need to do is deal with a conqueror that probably hasn't got a very good way to hit the Gengar for Super effective damage You're gonna be relying depending on the build on something like ice punch or thunder punch here From the conch and the goth the tell can potentially pick up Some big damage with a psychic onto the conqueror obviously been a fighting type Pokemon is weak to that but Opting to double in just in case we missed the kill on the the arcanine here with the Gengar Just and if we do take it down then obviously the the psychic would redirect into the conqueror But it's not gonna be the case here because the the conch we see does protect The extreme speed coming up from the arcanine take down the goth the tell and the sludge bomb like we expected does take that Arcanine down after they the boost from our GMAT turns and you can understand the protects here from the conqueror because it is guts and Making it a little more tricky for us to deal with because now the one thing that we've got coming in And it's a lapis it's weak to fighting type attacks and the drain punch could be quite quite useful for it So what we're gonna do is just protect our lapis We don't want to give the conqueror any chance to regain any health Because sludge bomb here to sludge bomb should be enough to pick up the conqueror even without the boost So we're sitting in a pretty nice position and I think this game is quite interesting because It shows a side of the team where we're not having to rely on the perish Trap to actually win out a game and and just the sheer kind of brute force of Gengar and its speed And and with this cutie the sash how disruptive and in damaging it can be to an opponent Especially against a team so kind of I would say quite hyper offensive in itself And and we kind of went toe-to-toe and we've come out way on top here And the Gengar you see just picking up the the final bit of chip damage onto the conch and we do pick up a win So yeah, like I say we didn't get the the perish song all the perish trap going in that match But you know, it's fine because like I say it's good that the team perish song team can I think perform Without its perish trap as well as with its perish trap like it's gonna thrive in its perish trap environment But if it can still perform well without relying on that kind of main strategy Then I think it's quite a cohesive in a very well built team in my opinion anyway And the team already obviously I've had more matches Games with the team since this episode and I still stand by the team and I think it's a very strong team It's very fun as well to play around, but I think it's quite well balanced. So We'll go into our next match. We will have a search I'm just gonna try and skip forward and see if we can just speed things up here as we do find our next opponent who is Ray and We'll have a look at what Ray is gonna bring to this matchup We've got Ray playing a Raichu, Snorlax, Lapras, Charizard, Blastoise and Venusau. So it looks like the infamous Reds team. I think Mr. Glick has been playing this on his channel recently Trying to get it number one. I believe I haven't seen it But I've seen the thumbnails and tweets and things about it So I'd imagine this is what the inspiration is except obviously in Reds team He had a Pikachu, not a Raichu and Ray's just opted to evolve that I mean pledges are quite quite an obvious thing that you could run on this sort of team G-Max, Charizard is probably gonna be the Pokemon that we see. You've got to be I mean G-Max Lapras as well. The Snorlax is a bit irritating But I mean with something like Parash song You're not really relying on ways to damage your opponent It's more ways to get how to get the Parash song set up without like losing Pokemon And then kind of having ways to stall them out and for that reason I want a secondary Parash in the back I do feel like this is an opportunity where we can potentially get the trap and then the Parash going with Gengar So we'll see what we can do here Obviously got things I need to fear the Venusau with the Sleep Powder can be really disruptive If it does Max, it's obviously got access to Max Quake It can be pretty disruptive and you know annoying for Gengar to deal with as well But we're not gonna see that first off We are gonna see and the Raichu and the Lapras here as Gengar and Lipod make the way for ourselves So got to worry about a potential fake out from the Raichu on my opponent side of the field onto Lipod It is gonna be the faster fake out user So it makes sense that it does fake out into Lipod at least This turn you know if it doesn't decide to go for that then you got to worry about potentially a nozzle into our Gengar to really slow it down Which is the other issue here We could potentially go for fake tears into the Lapras and that would mean if we are able to get it off We're gonna get some big damage on before the potential Roarville setup with the the G max move there from that side because that's what you've got to expect them to go for I mean you're leading with Lapras You're gonna probably go for the the G max here and you're gonna get your your veil up As soon as possible to support the rest of this this match in the team on your side of the field so We do max our Gengar here and I think we are gonna see look at that dive ball That's the ball that you want your Lapras in there's a good example here Raichu showing everyone That we should all have our lapras and dive balls I'm a little bit biased obviously because if you if you've been following the channel for a while now You'll know that the dive ball is my favorite poker wall of all time So and the bias is showing through it slightly, but we do see the fake out from the Raichu now into the Lipod So we're not gonna be able to get that fake tears off But it's not the end of the world because we are gonna get our G max terror off and Hopefully Lipod can kind of see out this turn just got to say the animation for that G max move is Incredible I love the kind of Gengar face on the floor It just looks really cool and then you've got the ghouls kind of coming up at the end of the pay attention to it It looks incredibly good. Um, okay, so it's into the Gengar. That's fine. We take that pretty comfortably. Um, Not something you commonly say for a Gengar, but with a G max form It's fine and we're in a position now where we can go for the the copycat Parish song play finally into the episode. We're quite deep in so far So here we go We're using the max guard which is based off our parish song and then we go for the copycat with our Lipod It's got the priority prankster there and we set the parish song on all of the Pokemon on the field So it's their three turns and then everything will faint. We do see the Raichu throw out a nuzzle into Lipod here You got to remember as well that we can't make use of our thunder wave now because the potential lightning rod on the Raichu there So we're not gonna mean making much use of that. So probably good that we try and Make use of if we keep it in, you know something like fake tears But we've got a pretty decent double switch here, you know and max guys are probably gonna come out from the Lapras on my opponent's end Lipod like I'm sorry the Raichu likely to go for a nuzzle into our Gengor So we'll preserve Gengor for later on in the match And I think one of the things to try and remember when you're playing parishes if you've got opportunities to Keep your Pokemon alive like, you know, normally be like right Well if I sack this year it gives me the opportunity to bring in X and then I can really start building some momentum with kind of a little bit of the opposite with Perish song even if you've got like one or two HP. It's worth keeping that Pokemon around So you've got to switch later on which is like essentially one turn that could be the parish song Counting down for your opponent when you win in the match So it's really important to just keep that in mind if you are playing Perish trap We do get the double switch in which is nice We've got access to fake out now, which is brilliant so we can stop the Lapras from attacking here We've still got the trap active obviously with our Gotha tell and we've got the option to potentially just Protect with our Lapras if you want, but it's probably better to attack here and attack maybe into something like the Lapras and You know and we could double up fake out into the Lapras if we're not too worried about what the Raichu does But you've got to worry about the Raichu potentially having vault switch here So I think that's something that's playing on my mind definitely I don't want the the Raichu to vault switch out and kind of undo the parish song trap that we've kind of set up so far So we're taking a little bit of a risk and doubling into that slot here And I think it's the right thing to do because like I say the the Lapras Can't really damage our Lapras too hard And it can potentially pick up the knockout onto the Gotha tell but Like I say with the Raichu. I'd rather get rid of it right now It does cause the team in general some issues, especially if you can get nuzzles off and things like that But we just see the protect on the Raichu here and the opposing Lapras actually setting up its own parish song So setting the parish song on our side of the field. So our count is now three their count is now one And all we need to do now is just double protect. Um, and then we will say good night to Miss Lapras and mr. Raichu or miss Raichu and miss the Lapras. How about well, no, look the the Lapras. I'm not being Gender-specific in any way, but the Lapras and the Raichu Raichu's male Lapras is female. Here we go. No I've got to be so careful feel like I've got to be careful someone shout me out for it. Um, anyway, yeah double protect coming off Let's just fill some time because uh with the inevitable is coming and my opponent going to be down to their last two pokemon in The coming minutes here and all we need to do after this depending on what they've got If we can get a parish song set up with Lapras that will mean we are going to be able to To close this game out with just a parish and not pick up any knockouts with any damaging attacks Which is exactly what you want with the parish song team. Now. We do see the Snorlax hit the field now for my opponent And the blastoise now the blastoise Definitely is not the one thing I want to see in rain because uh, there is the threat of firstly Faker from the blastoise that can disrupt our parish song There is also water spout as well. It would pick up the knockout onto our goth hotel and make closing out this game Pretty difficult. Um Now what we're going to do is just click the parish song button with our lapras I think we just got to go for it here. Um, the other thing that we've got to worry about with the Snorlax is as well Is um, potentially a belly drum, but um, opting not to go for uh, Keep goth hotel in an attack. We just bring the the lie pod in Um, it's the one thing that we got paralyzed here. Um, it's not going to offer us too much here Body press coming out, which is a little bit surprising and nice tech there on on blastoise Um, but we do manage to get a parish song up and that is all that matters right now And parish song is the the big play here for us and now all we need to do is stall out some turns Lie pod does go down, which is great because um doing this means we get the goth hotel out To get it back onto the field now and have access to that faker, which is exactly what we want Um our parish song count on a lapras is dropped to one So we need to be mindful of that this next turn. We also reset our parish song count on our goth hotel. So That's a that's a nice way for us to get it back in and also make use of fake out now On our goth hotel. So to keep lapras around we're going to switch out to gengar at this point We're going to fake out into the blastoise because I think out of the two threats that we've got in front of us right now I feel like the blastoise with the water spot is a bit more deadly Um, then the snorlax that could potentially go for a double edge into our lapras slot And then you know gengar coming in being a ghost type isn't affected by that So it's a pretty clean turn for us in that respect. Um, we do get gengar onto the field now And uh get that taste the old fake out into the blastoise stop it from moving this term of the flinch and uh It's not like it's opting for a rock slide. So it's still not the worst turn in the world Um, we've reset the parish on our side of the field all all things going well right now Stop the blastoise from moving The citrus berry gonna activate on a goth hotel just get a little bit of health back and the rain does stop Which is nice, especially to um to weaken the power of those blastoise moves. So we've got the option here where we can Just double protect and that'll take my opponent down to their their final parish song count turn and after that they'll they'll be able to um Well, they'll not be able to do anything because with the lapras in the back It doesn't matter what we do just switch out either goth hotel or the gengar here into the lapras the next turn Um, oh, we just let both of our pokemon go down here Um, there isn't really too much my opponent can do now and with the lapras in the back This game is certainly locked for uh for the big whim the orville wearing off there they're fine down to their final turn of Their parish and uh, we'll just go for a sludge bomb Switch lapras in or goth hotel will keep goth hotel around for the end I think I say here as well. We should have probably just switched just for the glory of gengar We should have and it's all about the gengar here. We should have just switched the gengar out really kept that for the Being the last pokemon um, but never mind gengar has put in a lot of work and goth hotel can claim some Glory it's normally overlooked, but it is a very key element to this team and how it operates Especially with the parish So my opponent just uh thinking about what they're going to do, but I think the inevitable is insight for them the You know because we've got three pokemon it just makes the the the battle locked for us really and we do see the the cancel Cancel battle there from raised side of the field and we do pick up another win Which is incredible. So we've had two really good games with this team And this is why I was so sad about not um having my mic on for this episode as well I feel like it was a really good way for us to kick off and introduce the parish song team and um I do also remember to put the rental code We'll just skip to that right now at the end of the video and that wraps everything up for us my friends So I yeah, I hope you've enjoyed this one It's been a little bit weird with the dubbing and things like that But um, I hope the battles have been enjoyable and I hope you've appreciated that Even though we had some technical errors we've kind of tried to make up the video in some sort of way and um The bruce laid dubbing has been interesting Would have been great if I could have just taken myself out of the picture here But never mind here is the rental code for the team if you do try it out Please let me know what your thoughts are on the team if you've got any thoughts about things you would change I would love to hear your opinions and things that maybe suit your play style a little bit more than what my play style is Um, so have fun with it friends Enjoy the the rest of your day as always. Thanks for tuning in and I'll see you all very soon for another video So until then take care of yourselves and bye. Bye
