 Hello friends and welcome back to another episode of our Pokemon VGC 2020 Battle Series. We are here today, my name is Lee also known as Osiris and we're going to be continuing on with this dual primal team that we started at the beginning of this week. Just to recap, we've got the Groudon, the Tepacocco, Kyoga, Stack Attacker, Salamence and Incineroar. As always the team is down in the description below, there is a raw paste and a poker paste. Check out the details of the team, do try it out if you'd like to play around with dual primals and if you do let me know how you get on with the team but without further ado. Let's get into today's episode, as always if you do enjoy this sort of content please remember to drop a like on the video, just let me know that you're enjoying the content at the minute and to continue with it and also subscribe to the channel for more content Pokemon orientated and as always leave your comments down below, let me know your thoughts on the team in general and what you're liking about it. So we'll pick some music to get us off the marked day team skull boss, let's go with that one, we haven't had that in a while so we'll search for our first opponent. Unfortunately I'm recording these episodes back to back so as you would have seen in yesterday's episode I wasn't feeling too well but like I said I'm going to plow through and get these done and then go and get some rest so hopefully for the stream on Thursday which we will be doing 8pm over on Twitch do come across and we'll not be playing this team but we'll be playing another team. I haven't decided yet but if you've got certain teams that you'd like to see me play on on the stream on Thursday do let me know but I'm going to after this rest up and hopefully feel better for the stream on Thursday and then next week's content will be a little bit better so just searching for that first opponent, hopefully it doesn't take too long like I say and keep saying all the time but just to talk about the team, rudely interrupt it every time it's like a trigger isn't it, we'll talk about the team in a minute because I've got a first opponent playing a really nice looking team actually. Consisting of Gastrodon, Rayquaza, Incinero, Sogaleo, Tap Coco and Tap Infini, so double tap who's here just to help control the board and got nice switch ins, offensive pressure as well from kind of both spectrums you got the Tap Coco that's really fast offensive, helps protect things like Rayquaza from Salomon especially if it's holding the Z move there. Sogaleo as well does have access to trick rooms so something we need to look out for there and the Rayquaza does have a flurry and amazing move pool so we can't really expect whatever there but Gastrodon gives us a little few issues because Kailga doesn't really fare too well against Gastrodon it kind of limits our ability to throw out water type attacks freely and does pressure our ground on with its ground type attacks as well. So Incinero I definitely want to bring I think Coco is super important for us here. Do we got Kailga or Groudon here? Like Groudon's like really good. I think we got Groudon and then Salomon's I think because Stax isn't going to enjoy this matchup at all I don't think. Sogaleo, Ray, Gastrodon could all give it a hard time with the respective super effective attacks so we'll lock in with these. We'll kick off our first one today this feels like it's gonna be a tough matchup but a really interesting one and it's nice when you're testing a team out for the first time to come up against teams like this and think oh this is gonna be really tough and it's good just take a mental note of that team and be like right well I need to have a better game plan against it and you have better ways around it what can we do to change things about this so it's valuable information for you on you getting to that end point with any team so it's not a bad thing and we'll see how we get on if we get a win that'll be really good we just got to play play smart like they say okay we're gonna see Ray Kwaza and Incinero come out for my opponent and there Incinero appears to be faster than ours. Do we just trade fake outs here? Potentially. We could fake out the Ray, switch Coco out into Salamence. Yeah get double Intimidate it's gonna be nice I think yeah happy doing that keep Coco around for later we could have probably U-turned as well with that Incinero it's just nice to stop the Ray from being able to to move this turn and if we catch it with a fake out break a potential sash there I'm gonna see the Ray just switch out though so Galeo hit the field so we're gonna see fake out from the opposing Incinero and fake out from our Incinero. Now I don't know if we'll see a trick room here with my opponent maybe expecting like I would imagine we see a superpower I'm gonna switch it into Coco expecting a superpower coming out there and I'm gonna switch into Groudon as well with Salamence and just preserve the Intimidate on both of our Pokemon because you can see how like physically built my opponent's team is so far like they're all physical attackers maybe not the Rickwaza but it's definitely got Dragon Ascent and so the Intimidate does help with that massively if we see a trick room here that would be really nice for us we've got to watch out as well for this so Galeo carrying wide guard if we want to start launching some precipice blades in the future about let's see what my opponent does here uh superpower okay yeah probably a U-turn on the Incinero and margin oh snow okay I don't mind that too much so I think what we'll do is we'll switch out onto the Incinero it's a pretty guaranteed wall switch there it gets us our Incinero back onto the field um we could just fire punch the so Galeo I think that's probably a better option just because of the the potential wide guard that could come out here the worst case scenario would be Incinero switching into Gastron and the so Galeo getting a Sunsteel Strike which are probably our speed our Groudon to be honest and picking up a knockout on Coco taking Coco out it doesn't really help us too much especially because we're going to rely on it quite heavily to help deal with the uh okay it's the other way around that's not too bad and the ray coming in there so we'll catch ray with a vault switch which is nice it's not mega vault so we'll get some decent damage onto it um the airlock activating there so that's all right I don't mind that too much at all um we'll get Incinero onto the field now and we'll get a fire punch onto this Gastrodon so that's the big thing it's not gonna do very much though but a burn would be very very helpful here of course doing not bad damage especially considering the Sun's not active um we need to I mean could we see move the Gastrodon it's definitely an option I feel like the Gastrodon of everything sticks around here to be honest um is it gonna be enough to get it though that's a question I don't know um we could just fake out and then switch into Mence could be an option yeah let's do that fake out and bring in Mence and then we can try and get out some sort of speed control going I need my charger my charger because my DS has run out of battery so before that red light of death starts coming on and flashing we'll try and there we go okay we haven't broke anything that's good so get Salamence in I'm gonna see the ray mega evolve hopefully it goes for like an earth power into that ground on slot that would be ideal because then the next turn we can we can definitely go for the z move and hyper voice earth power uh it's Incinero it's not great okay that's all the worse I mean we will take another we won't take another one now but we've got the draka meter we can fire into the record as a slot it's just whether or not the ray is a salt vest because I think even from this range we probably don't get it I'm going to go for the z move there anyway and I'm going to go for mega evolve and go for draka into the ray and hope to get it salt vest it will take it though I imagine it has taken a bit of chip though and draka's gonna okay we're gonna see it switch out incinero coming it doesn't help as in and I haven't changed the z crystal ah from yesterday's episode what am I doing okay well I wonder if we see a nice beam uh onto salamence here maybe losing salamence it's not going to be ideal though well losing either pokemon here is not going to be ideal we'll get a draka meter into the incinero the worst z move choice tomorrow I will change this I will change this after this directly after this episode I will go out and I will put the proper z move onto incinero I don't know why I did this just must have been not paying attention um but minus one not going to be doing as much damage as we needed to uh yeah and a nice beam coming okay ever take that well the gastrodon definitely in range to go down I think um I'm gonna have to contend with earth power next um okay let's bring in gradon because then I think we play on the fact that we can just press abyss blades and dark as larry in both of our pokemon are gonna out speed the gastrodon so we will take it down whatever happens here the only thing is I would like to you turn out onto the gastrodon but I just don't think you turn gonna get it on minus one and I don't want to risk not taking it down for it to earth power one of our pokemon it's just not not going to be the most optimal thing to do here um you've got to think though if we are able to deal with the rayquaza with atap and coco we could probably win this match but uh the extreme speed is going to be a bit of a pain especially if we haven't got our intimidate active so it's going to be a case of trying to get coco out onto the field for incinero okay we're gonna see incinero and ray coming you see the gastrodon just protect here maybe I don't know why no probably not oh wow I don't mind this at all gradon being a boy hitting the suga lao and the another is the dog slayer it will take down the suga lao which is super helpful and we'll probably see incinero come back onto the field now um we're still in a bit of a tight spot though because the ray with its earth power does make things really difficult for us um intimidate precipice blades probably still gets the incinero from this range on minus one I would imagine and we are only minus one with uh with gradon I'm gonna try a new turnout on the incinero and just protect protect gradon here if we can get incinero out for tap and coco this match becomes a lot easier whether or not my opponent will allow us to do that whether fake out gradon and uh just earth power the incinero remember we are minus one special defense so we will go down to an earth power and I can't afford to switch coco in here I don't I don't feel I need coco to come in without taking any damage so I've got to hope my opponent makes a little bit of a mistake here there's a fake out into gradon and earth power yeah they're they're going for it so the special defense drop definitely didn't help us there because I think we take another one without that we did get coco now can we take an extreme speed that is the question ah oh we can dazzle I don't think it's gonna do enough we can press up his blades yeah I just think okay we're gonna see incinero switch out that makes a lot of sense for my opponent to do so they've got the the fake out the the next turn dazzling gleam we will get it no extreme speed there so that's it's really good for us ah but we're wasting our blades as an earth power will come out oh a dragon ascent it's gonna be into gradon so it doesn't mean coco's gonna stick around for another turn we take that pretty well if we just fire punch there would have been so much better but not really thinking about that if the incinero would stay then we needed we needed to be able to um to get rid of it which we might not be able to do now I mean a dazzle and a precious blades will get rid of it it's just I don't think a dazzling gleam will get the requiser um okay I'll protect the coco I'll just double protect here actually because it's not even worth risking anything at this point I could be cheeky and say protect coco fire punch rain it would definitely put the rate into fire punch dazzling gleam range the next next time out but the earth power into gradon so easy here um does a dazzle get does a dazzle get the ray I'm gonna fire punch and dazzle the ray and see if it dazzle gets it then I mean we win this but if not then we're losing to Angelo dazzling gleam no extreme speed which is interesting we get the ray we can win this now it's good no extreme speed though which is interesting um annoying we're not going to get the fire punches me we do much damage to the incinero here but like I say I needed to just cover that that slot I'm going to see the flare blades incinero will probably proc a berry but I'm not really too concerned uh unless the incinero has got like a z move which I don't believe it will have and we'll soon find out that berry so be all right you know it's got snarl I think hasn't it snarl you turn flare blades fake out I think that's the set we can just press this blades now and we will be able to take a victory here I mean we would have been able we were quite lucky there I think if my opponent had extreme speed or went for it if they do have it then it might have been a bit of a different game press this blades is enough and we are able to pick up another victory so very good game to my opponent and nice way for us to kick off today so let's hop over into our main screen and we can move on to a second match of the day oh I'm struggling on my friends I'm struggling on this is a commitment I have to content on the channel if you didn't realize already I don't know how many times I've actually not uploaded and since I've been going so this is like yeah three I think we've been doing YouTube which has been it's been the most incredible journey it's been really fun but I don't think there's been too many days uh where I've not uploaded obviously upload very often on a weekend uh predominantly just going to be Monday to Friday but I really I kind of pride myself on the fact that there's been periods where I like it's been really tough with stuff going on outside of the channel and real life and I've still been able to get content up pretty much the whole time and I will always try and get content as much as I can got a 17 59 rated player from Japan so this one is going to be really good we'll get straight into team preview and see what we're going up against okay so our next opponent is running a team of Duskman Kyogre Incineroatapofini Salamence and Kangaskhan so looking at probably double mega Pokemon here with the Salamence and Kangaskhan depending on what my opponent's facing then the restricted core is going to be Duskman Nekrosma and Kyogre probably um going to be Ultra Nekrosma as well there Incineroatapofini are the sporting cast you've got access to tailwind through the Salamence trick room on Duskman so you've got different varying modes of speed control here the Tapofini probably has icy wind as well um Groudon going to be really good for us here I feel if we can get a trick room up um are we going to bring Stacker here though like Stacker's not bad it doesn't like Kangaskhan though if my opponent does bring Kangaskhan but I kind of prefer the trick room to the tailwind here if that makes sense um so I might lead Incineroatapofini, Groudon and do we want to bring Kyogre? Kyogre's always good to bring leave Koko's men's out yeah let's do that let's do that and see how we can get if we can get a victory here this would be good it's going to be a tough match of course 1759 that's where we should be aiming for um but we'll see how we get on I'm actually playing through I made the the most ridiculous decision ever because I'll be playing PC's MSS's soon so I was like I want a new uh username on my cart on my moon cart that I found and um it's like okay let's start playing through it again so at the moment playing through I'm playing through again which is uh I don't know it's not the right decision it's a tough game to play through but I'll be worth it in the end what I eventually get there do we just you turn on the Finney to try and get Groudon onto the field um how do we fake out and get trick room up I'm probably gonna just fake out Finney and trick room the thing is we could see them across my just reverse the trick room here but I mean if that happens it's a dead turn so there's no harm in just trying it here uh dusk main could ultra burst could earth power a stacker but we do have the focus sash to kind of fall back on a little bit and if the trick room does go up it makes things a little bit easier for us I'm going to see them across my switch out and Kyoga come out excellent excellent this is perfect I'm now going to get a trick room up guaranteed um and then we've got a nice tasty switch into Groudon the next turn uh to protect stacks from any Kyoga issues so let's see what my opponent does there's a fake out into Finney and uh we'll get this trick room up perfect now we don't have rock slide on uh Stack Attacker but I don't think it matters too much it'll be nice just to get Groudon in now the one thing I don't want to do is you turn out onto the Finney because Finney could have protect it's not too far to think it's got protect so I'm just going to hard switch and scenario and I'm going to go Jerobo my opponent knows Groudon's coming in so they could double into that slot which is the the only drawback and we could have z moved the Kyoga and maybe baited the the ice beam but I feel Groudon's going to be able to come out onto the field pretty safe anyway it'll probably take a worse than nature's madness and the ice beam which it should be able to take if my opponent doesn't suspect the Groudon coming in and he's locked into a water type attack then even better for us it's Groudon Groudon's our key because like to win him because of that dust man really so we need to make sure we're taking care of it and maybe this move isn't the best way to do that but we'll see Kyoga gonna switch straight out so that's not the worst thing in the world and across we're gonna come back onto the field um I don't mind this really Jerobo gonna do some decent damage to the top of Philly yeah and nature's madness coming out into stacks okay really don't mind that at all uh now I'm gonna go press this blades and um Jerobo again I could skill swap here but uh cross my I'm gonna say Kyoga come back in yeah okay the rim like we could have skill swapped there the only reason why I didn't was because I just want to guarantee this finny going down I don't want to take a nature's madness oh we proc a berry it's not good especially if we see finny with skull here this would be bad this would be we should have skill swapped oh now we're knackered we are knackered now it's not very much we can do um I mean yeah the finny is so so much slower than us as well we'll bring in Incineroar skull there's a big problem for us though we can't leave the Kyoga unchecked ah like a u-turn on the finny and a Jerobo we'll get it yeah we could do that because we can switch Incineroar into Kyoga and hopefully our u-turn is not even going to be enough it really isn't um it will get Kyoga into the field I mean we're preserving Incineroar here ah no one you're like we should have just skill swapped we would have still had Groudon kicking around and we probably would have been able to kind of close the game out from that point never mind the finny slower than Groudon as well makes it difficult to operate it's a nice but it's doing well doing all the work it needs to isn't it shown why it's on the team he'll pulse fails and what's about there we go we could wide guarded never mind never mind this just became even more difficult for us to deal with now we can't get rid of the finny although the Kyoga's left alone gonna what's about it's going to do a ton of damage to Incineroar what do we do do we I can't leave the Kyoga unchecked and I don't really want a water spout either because the water spouting the finny is not going to get us anywhere and ah I don't like the trick or in turn running out here with I think the game's like completely done Kyoga gonna protect yeah we're gonna get nature madness into Kyoga and imagine oh light screen okay it's like the ultimate anti ground on check well we had answers for it you know like in the best of three it would be a little bit it would be an interesting set for sure I do feel like this is a match that we could do all right in but Salomon's coming out for my opponent I mean is this golden a z move like now with the intimidate there it's not really gonna help us against the Kyoga it's all there's a trick room still up no we're knackered we're knackered knackered um yeah there's not really much we can do to be honest I think it's just a case of a a water spout and a double edge and we will go down to this team played really well by my opponent so a little bit unfortunate first but a good example of a team that's really kind of caught my eye so hopefully it's a team that's caught your eye and something that you would like to maybe try out especially it's quite specific like in this situation it's doing really well but it's a nice build and how my opponent's played it is is is making it just showcase how strong it is really we do take the men's stance a little consolation here for us but the water spout gonna come out and the Kyoga gonna clean their clogs and that is game my friends unfortunate ah so disappointed with that one but I mean we can't really be too disappointed we had the opportunities there to to get around the the issue we had the skill swap there that's one of the main reasons why we got the skill swap um and it it didn't really hit home what the the skull coming out with the switching until the last thing and you know as well maybe there was a chance of I didn't realise the groudon would actually not outspeed the finny as well so lots of things never mind a good game for us to look back on and think well that's a nice team to look at and see how operates and and make changes to our team going forward as well I'm gonna wrap things up there though guys thank you so much for tuning in today I hope you've enjoyed today's episode some really good games and we'll be back to finish up with this bearing of the team tomorrow so until then take care of yourselves and bye bye
