 Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our Pokemon Road to Ranked roulette series We kicked off this brand new series last week on the channel and it has been a lot of fun I hope you guys are enjoying it Thank you so much before we get into anything to each and every one of you for all of the support the comments the views Just getting involved and especially all of the nominations that we've had for Pokemon for the team last week And also for the team this week I literally was going through the list of all the nominated Pokemon for this week and literally smiling Year-to-year just looking through and thinking I want that Pokemon I hope this Pokemon comes out. I really like all of the selections that we've had this week have been amazing So I'm having a lot of fun with this series But hopefully the main thing is that you guys are enjoying it and having a lot of fun with it as well It is completely different to what we normally do. It's not serious We're here to have fun choose some really random Pokemon and hopefully showcase them and maybe find some hidden gems and You never know we might get some along the way this week, but getting into this week. We need to select that brand new team I did ask you guys what you prefer two week cycle with a team or a one week cycle I came back pretty anonymous that you wanted a one week cycle So we're gonna be doing a brand new team while we're doing this series every single week So I will be putting up a new poll on the YouTube channel Probably Tuesday Wednesday time I will let you know to go and start nominating for next week's Pokemon selection So without further ado though, let's get into the fun animations to kick us off today and see what the roulette throws out for a Brand new six Pokemon team going into this week So we'll be right back and we'll hit that roulette wheel right now an incredible team got into this week We've got tapu bulu Chameco. I don't think I've ever played Chameco ever I don't even think I've caught one and get well I might have caught one in game at some point, but I don't think I've ever played it. It's a very cool Pokemon It's got some really cool text that we can use but it's gonna be exciting to play it. We've got Articuno We've got Nucrosma the original Nucrosma as well Tyranitar as you well know for all of you guys out there that do know me Tyranitar is probably my favorite Pokemon I see this about a lot of Pokemon, but really Tyranitar It's definitely hands down my favorite Pokemon if you had to ask me that would be my answer every single time So we've got the Tyranitar. We've got Sylveon as well another really favorite Pokemon on mine So I've put a team together with the Pokemon you can see the the nominations from a Lovely viewers on the screen in front of you right now. So we had the tapu bulu from Mojaru I'm sorry if I'm butchering that username, but that's that's yes, Mojaru with tapu bulu We had Chameco from Hamid Lee We had Will Hopper getting another selection two weeks in a raw will but he pulling out the Sylveon this week from the Wheel we've got Articuno from Luciano So that's a really cool suggestion and Nucrosma from Zed Hoffman another one that's had another selection this week So and then Tyranitar from Jungle Hunter as well So you can see all of those on your screen big shout out to everyone that has nominated and sorry to everyone That didn't get their selection coming up But we do have three buttons that we can activate this week remember we've got our legend maker We've got our randomizer and we've got our random switch up button that we can activate Come Wednesday if we want to change things up with the team So there is three more chances for you guys who have nominated Pokemon to get those Pokemon going in the rest of this week So we will get to Wednesday. We will definitely activate the buttons this week But hopefully we kick off with a good start this week. So this is a team As you can see on the screen in front of you as always the raw paste poker paste is down in the description below If you'd like to check it out try it out I'm gonna say that Articuno spread is probably one of my favorite ones And I'm really hoping we can get it going because that will be a lot of fun and really mean me if we can't get it going This week check it out. I'll not spoil anything just yet And I guess without further ado Let's crank some music on and let's get into today's episode. So I'm really looking forward to it We've got the Chameco the Sylveon. We've got the Articuno the Nucrosma The Tyranitone Tabulu, so let's select some music What are we gonna go with let's go with league title defense to kick us off today and Hopefully it doesn't take too long to find our first opponent. I'm really nasally as well I'm really sorry if it's coming across like bad on the audio my voice in general But my hair fever this weekend is being absolutely brutal And I took we took the air to the beach today, which was the first time she's ever been to the beach We've had an amazing day. It's been so sunny and nice as well. And I think she liked it She slept for most of the time We've got one of these weird carrier things that you can put her in she was like snuggled up in a little ball on My front and yeah, we went to the beach. It was nice. We had ice cream So what what what better what better way to spend a Sunday afternoon? I I don't know but we've got Joker up as our first opponent. So let's get into team preview and let's see what we're going up against here Okay, so we've got Joker. He's playing a team of Requiser incinero Garchomp good old Garchomp haven't seen you for a while my old friend Groudon Tapu Lily and Aerodactyl and anyone out there that's putting suggestions in this week Garchomp would be a great nomination going into next week's team if it does come out But that's just one of mine that may be a pick that I would throw in and okay So we've got definitely tailwind is the primary speed control source on My opponent's team. You've got the Aerodactyl there providing that for the team Outside of that. They're really lacking any sort of speed control and So trick room could be very good for us for sure and And if they do bring the tapu lele for the psychic train It does help us out a bit against the air the requiser with his extreme speeds We've got to watch out for the incinero though That is a little bit awkward to deal with I am gonna bring Chameco up top Bring Chameco and Do we go Sylvean or do we keep Sylvean for late game maybe Sylvean late game we could go on a crossbar It's just then we leave ourselves a little bit weak to incinero I'm gonna bring Tito up top I'm gonna bring Sylvean in the back and then I'm gonna throw in a cross mark probably bench Articuno and tapu booloo here Yeah, we're locking with those We're getting to this first one today. Hopefully we have I just feel like Articuno has a really tough time Yeah, you've got the ground on you got the incinero and then you got the Aerodactyl It'll give a really tough time So I think when we're playing Articuno and we were trying to get that move set Specifically off. I think we need the right conditions. We need the right team to play it against now I do feel like the team does have a few holes in it We are kind of weak to a lot of the big threats in this format, but we'll see if we can get around them We're gonna say go chomp. I'm gonna say Aerodactyl come out for my opponent So we've got a great opportunity here to get our trick room up with Chameco because we do have levitate On Chameco, so we can get around the guard chomps big ground type attacks, but problem is T-tiles are not in the best of places right now. I tell you what we'll do. We'll Z trick room With Chameco and we'll just do the mega evolve just yet. Probably not I don't really want to give the guard chomp in core Big advantage here. It's just I kind of worry about a tectonic bridge coming up from the guard chomp, but maybe Maybe we don't see that Can we bring in the Crosmar? I'm gonna bring in the Crosmar right now. I feel like the Crosmar Will do a better job at this point Then T-tile So we'll see we'll get both of our psychic types out on the field. We're gonna see just an earthquake come out Okay Chameco obviously has that levitate ability can get around that. I wonder what the aerodactyl is gonna do. It's scarf guard chomp as well Which is interesting. So and of course I've taken that pretty comfortably tailwind. Boom. Perfect Chameco and the thing is with Chameco as well. So I've kind of went down a similar route to how we'd run Psychinium Z bronze on with the Z trick room and then the hymnosis so we can start putting things to sleep Okay So that's good. So we can start putting things to sleep which is good because we get that accuracy boost with the Z trick room Yeah, let's put the guard chomp to sleep Should we just get a calm mind up while we can with the Crosmar? I feel like it's probably good good thing to do right now Aerodactyls likely got protected. We know the guard chomp hasn't because it went before the aerodactyl So definitely a scarf there Locked into that earthquake so we can definitely get a hymnosis off into that slot for sure Stop those earthquakes coming out and the aerodactyl is not really threatening too much It could have Z move and it could be a bit problematic for the Crosmar, but I think we'll be alright So there's our first hypnosis Chameco putting in all the work already. What a great suggestion as well It was like it would be one of those Pokemon that I would totally just not think of because it's just one of those Pokemon sadly that I just don't have much experience with even playing the games But then I look at it and think so cute. It's so cute. I need it. I need it Okay, we're gonna see Rob slide come up from the aerodactyl. We do get the calm mind up with Crosmar, so that's good. We can double into the aerodactyl here. We could just put the aerodactyls to sleep and I Guess go for a photon geyser into the guard chomp here I think in earthquake I'll probably just proc a barrier on the Crosmar That would be my best guess Chameco being really disruptive here. Oh God, I'm gonna switch out. So whatever comes in. Oh, it's grout on photon geyser. I Don't mind this Really mean we get some nice damage off onto it and then the next turn it is gonna be susceptible to Aerodactyl might protect here, who knows Just like line activating now from that grout on so we're gonna have the Sun up No, sis. There we go. Chameco on point. Aerodactyl gonna have a snooze Okay, so redactyl fall in the sleep photon geyser Coming out Wow, that does so much damage. That does so much damage. That's crazy Okay, I Guess we'll chip the aerodactyl with a sidekick and We'll go for another photon geyser into the ground on Because the Crosmar should under speed like this see like my opponents team like we've said it is it is generically a Tailwind team so I would imagine most things on the team are quite fast offensive From that damage on this ground on as well You can kind of tell that it's probably not the the bulkiest so it's not really gonna be the slowest The slowest thing here. Okay, so aerodactyl still Sleep sleep sleep. Chameco getting that psychic off. There we go It did go for the protect that try to and photon guys are gonna get rid of the grout on so that's one big big big problem out of the way Which is nice And I wonder if they'll be the Rayquaza it comes in as the last Pokemon that tailwind pit us out So that's fine. And we've got two more two more turns trick room. Yeah, I think If my math is correct Who knows it is Rayquaza? Okay, I don't mind this at all because we've got Sylvan in the back and We're running scarfed Sylvan. So that's so good for us And I'll try and get the trip the hypnosis off into the Rayquaza And I'm just gonna photon guys are the aerodactyl if it stays asleep. We get the KO there Which is super nice? If the Rayquaza doesn't protect though And it's it's definitely going to nap time So let's see if we can get this going Good if we can get a win today. I'm not gonna hold out just yet I feel like we were in so many good positions last week with team and then it just fell apart at the last minute And then we're like, how did we lose that? We were so we saw far ahead and then everything just flipped on its head So I don't want to get too far ahead of myself. Just yet. We want to take one step at a time with stuff like this So Yeah, I don't want to don't want to jump the gun So we're gonna make it evolve. I guess the guard chomps the one thing that's a little bit awkward to deal with So we do need to keep speed control if we can Okay, there's extreme speed coming out it is into Chameco There's a lot of damage. It is life orb ray, but we do get the hypnosis onto it We're not gonna see a protect this time come out from the aerodactyl So we should be able to pick up the knockout there with the photon geyser and our trick room if it does end this turn Then we're in a great position to get another trick room up because the Requires us definitely. Yeah, the request is definitely gonna have a turn of sleep now the guard chomp comes in and It is asleep. So even if it wakes up it probably wants to lock into earthquake And but it does mean that we probably are gonna get a trick room up once more. So Chameco, I mean just absolutely Unbelievable work this game and we will go for a photon geyser into the Rick was the Rick Yeah, that's the one thing I really want to get rid of like life orbits. We've got no intimidate in the team. So Being able to just remove that is gonna be be quite nice because the guard chomps I feel is a lot more manageable both Pokemon sleeping on my punish side of the field. So that's fine And like I say now we get the trick room up We're gonna be able to kind of probably lock this one up pretty easy. We do see the trick room set up here And the Rayquaza now The only thing is yeah, we need to get we need to concentrate down on this ray because If Sylvan comes in it is scarf, but it will be slower than the guard chomp because a guard chomp is scarfed So I'm gonna try and target down the ray though the rate could wake up now and go for a protect But my opponent just forfeit. So we are off to a victory for our first one this week Which is amazing news for us guys. So record right now wins one losses zero Here we go. Can we carry it on this week Chameco? But in so much work so much work ridiculous ridiculous, so what a pokemon It's just the jet the gem I we'll be talking about it before we came into today's episode We'll find some hidden gems we were talking about it all last week. Have we found a hidden gem in Chameco? Who knows maybe we'll see it is one game. So we can't get too carried away with ourselves. All right music music music man Let's go with elite four Why not and hopefully like I was saying before it doesn't take too long to find the next opponent We'll get into the next one, but I can tell you more about the beach story. So yes, we took Thea down She's like six weeks six weeks old now, which is crazy to think six weeks ago was when she was born Um, but yeah things are going really well. She's growing. I'll have to get her on I will have to get her on and bring her on for an episode I'm probably more likely to do it for a stream But I will try and get her on for at least one of these videos And she can help me button mash for one episode. How cute would that be? Um So yeah, so yeah things have gone well I'm actually catching up on sleep now, which is good. So hopefully stream schedule will be able to do that I'll be able to get caught up on all of the different bits and bobs that I've got on the pipeline and get the That content out and things feeling a bit more normal now at home Um after starting a new job and then having Thea and just adjusting to all that It's been pretty crazy, but I'm pleased that we've kept content going on the channel I mean, that's the big thing for me. I did I was so worried about like just Dropping content on the channel because it's something that I've been doing for a long time and I know Priorities do shift, especially when you've got like a kid But at the same time, this is something that I do love you doing and I don't want to let slip So just even minimally just putting out content every day Monday to Friday is just something I really do want to try and keep doing and obviously when things do settle down We get back into that nice rhythm that we were before I'll be able to do other content I'll be able to do streaming and stuff like that and really get back into things Hopefully in time for sword and shield to come out as well because uh, that's not too long away is it but Here's me chatting away and we can't find an opponent So I'm gonna have to jump back in but I'll tell you what we'll do guys I'll cut right to it when we find an ex opponent. So we'll be right back And we've got an ex opponent of the episode and what better opponent to have With us today than a good friend Johnny hacks. This is incredible I don't think we've had Johnny on the series. So this is a pleasure Johnny. Good luck my friend We're gonna hop over to team preview and Hopefully this is a good one. I'm Johnny always has great teams. So this is going to be a very good match So let's get into it Okay, Johnny running a solid team of zonius groud on salamence a lowland persian smeagol and amungas So we've got the zonius groud on combination We know how strong that is zonius setting up that gm and see the groud on there Just protecting it from those steel types of threats so hard We've got the speed control from the salamence there It's gonna have tailwind Intimidate as well and then you've got that alone in persian which gives us a few issues You know, you've got to really kind of play around that because it's got fake out It's got the potting shot that can be a bit awkward And then the two support pokemon there you got the smeagol with the fast fake out as well Follow me redirection there and then the other redirection user with the amungas there So lots of support around that zonius. So that's the big key pokemon here that we need to try and get rid of And how are we going to do it? That's the big question Um, okay, let us go chameco because I think tailwind trick room is going to be quite useful for us I'm going to lead with sylvan here. Um, I think we will bring And a crossmer for sure and Table boo-loo Table boo-loo If you like this one it's going to be a little bit tough a little bit tough But can chameco do some work? Once again, let's see Johnny there All okayed out and that nice comma all armor gear whatever you want to call it very good We're gonna see lovely sylvan sylvan one of the best shiny pokemon as well in my opinion I don't know what you guys think but I always I always love sylvan. I think it's such a cool looking pokemon. Um, okay so Hmm groudon and What are we gonna see this chameco? There's some amungas too. Is it gonna protect? Uh, we can't really hit the groudon too hard with anything. Um, it could be eruption groudon as well Which could be a little bit awkward for us. Um, we And if we get the trick room up right now, it's not It's not ideal. So we could z move z move the amungas and um, hmm We're just not going to be able to do like we've got side shock on sylvan But without the specs, I don't think we're going to be able to pick up the knockout onto the amungas. Um I really want to keep sylvan around for later as well if I can I can help it um I might just keep keep it in and just and just hyper voice Just try and get some damage off sylvan shouldn't go down this turn But like just chipping that groudon might be useful chipping the amungas as well In case it is sash might be useful And the groudon going for a fire punch. Are we gonna take it? That's the question Yeah, chameco is a beast and there we go. We're gonna get the z move off and we're gonna get rid of that amungas We lose our speed control Which isn't ideal at all. I mean sylvan gets through this turn pretty unscathed. So that's that's nice Chameco, we're gonna get through this turn as well. So we're we're still up in numbers, but It's still gonna be really tough to kind of Wow, we actually don't take the amungas down and then procs a berry. Oh, chameco. You're so weak and there's a spoil I think it's done already. I think it's done already The amungas is too bulky. I would have I really would have thought I really would have thought that we would be able to take that. Um Okay, let's protect chameco and I guess we can try and get sylvan wake up and just hyper voice again. Um, we've got a guarantee turn of sleep here We could have maybe used this. So the amungas gonna withdraw now. Maybe seasonius. Yeah hit the field. Yep Come on, we need sylvan to wake up Hmm, let's see where the groudon goes though. Is it going precipice blades or is it going fire punch? It probably targets down the sylvan just to be safe. I think Yeah, oh, we could have went for a trick room there Wow sylvan going down Down and down. Uh, okay. Necrosma. Let's bring this bad boy in. I don't think we've really got the resources to kind of Do do things now. I really just don't I don't think we're gonna get a trick room up um And we can go for a calm mind with necrosma But we're gonna see a geomancy probably a fire punch into the chameco It's gonna be quite easy for for johnny now to close this one up. I feel Oh, we're just going we're just gonna see dazzling gleam. We're not even gonna see the The geomancy here doesn't probably need to go for it to be honest fire punch coming out. Well, let's just proc a berry Hopefully it will Yeah, okay, and we'll get a calm mind up, which I don't know Mike I don't think it puts us really in any better position, especially with tapu budu cover there Who's not really gonna want to take a fire punch? um But you never know you never know what we can do if for some Some way we can get a wood hammer onto The zonius if we can take a fire punch From the ground on It's a big ask mind It's a big big big old ask and then we can get a wood hammer which should be enough to get the zonius Uh earth power Now should be enough plus one to get the ground on So we'll see we'll see Um, but it's about bulu if it can live because you've got to hope that the zonius goes for Moonblast maybe into the necrosma And then a fire punch into the bulu from the ground on so bulu can survive get the wood hammer into the zonius Which might be enough to pick up the knockout. Maybe you know, we're not gonna see that though Uh fire punch where you going this time? Oh into the necrosma again. Oh, we don't we don't take it No, no, it's done. I think it was pretty much over after the moonga survival If we get the moongas, I think the game's a little bit different going forward That's born to the sylvan didn't help but at the same time. I just think Maybe Maybe there was just we just had a little bit too much and this is a perfect game like looking back now This is a perfect game where we should have brought We should have brought ardukuno and tried the the the gimmicky sets. We should have tried the gimmicky set Oh, and johnny johnny is just too nice sending me a message already saying didn't know what to do But it's fine johnny. You've got a solid lovely team there There's no need to apologize as I say it's a pleasure having you on the channel Very good game my friend in a lovely way for us to end up today Now we're gonna be on a record of one win one loss. We've got some things to think about going forward But I'm gonna take this all as a positive way to kick off this week. Um, you know Looking at this team We need to refigure out how we're gonna lead and position ourselves against at least we know now chameco Where there's a move even after a hyper voice chip from sylvan is not enough to pick up the moongas So we can't go down that route. So we've got to look at different options there get around it Like I say, I think the ardukuno might have been a nice option there Not so much to try the memes, but you know, we could have went tailwind instead of the trick room I am because we will be faster than the ground on the most cases unless it's like timid max And even then we've still got the sash to kind of rely on a little bit there So I think we've got different options and I think that's what we need to look at But as I say it's a success. I'm really excited to get into the rest of the week We're gonna be sticking with this team tomorrow. Obviously, we can't activate our buttons until wednesday So good little way to go so we can activate any of those but we might bring in one of the another legend And maybe activate that legend maker, but let me know what you guys which button you'd like to see Would you like to see the legend maker button activated on wednesday the switch up or just the random switch up activated to mix things up Or would you like to see the team just continue? Either way, anyway, whatever you like we will do guys, but thank you so much for tuning Have a great rest of your day and I will catch you for the next one tomorrow. So until then take care and bye. Bye
