 Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our fling squad circuit review show We are in the ultra series. We're kicking into a Swiss round bracket of the tournament We're into week three which we're going into this week and our last episode We had a great feature match between Poccomarty and Marcus that was a great game We saw the Guzzlord do so much work and hopefully we're gonna continue all of the action on in this episode today So like I say we're getting into week three today So why not start us off by taking a look at the pairings this week? So as you can see on the screen right in front of you now, we've got round three pairings We've got your iron versus Alex nightlight versus interface days Ryan P.B. Herbert versus Pinko VGC Costa Versus Salkren Kazumi versus Marcus worms I versus a shade salty elective those versus a Luigi Johnny Hacks versus Poccomarty chancey man see versus Stu in versus will and Cameron versus nappy So we've got some incredible games coming up for you in this week's episode But the feature match that we've picked out to feature in this episode is Preston, which is chancey man see versus Stu so without further to guys Let's get into this first one before we get into it just to remember to make sure you do drop a like on The video if you do enjoy this sort of content make sure you do subscribe to the channel for more Pokemon content and leave your comments down in the comment section below Let me know what you think of these matches which player you're rooting for in the ultra series and any other comments You've got to share with us going into this one, but without further ado, let's get into this one today So we're gonna kick off with Stu versus Preston Preston on the bottom of the screen Stu on the top of your screen We're gonna see Preston lead out with this in Senorak and Xenia is very common lead We've seen here in the ultra series as Stu leads out with that tornadoes and the Metagross So something we don't see too commonly in this format But really nice Pokemon to see has a really good time against a lot of different things in this format Obviously struggles against a few others We are gonna see the intimidated cycle off from the Incinero But not gonna affect the clear body on that Metagross as it does turn one go for this mega evolution into mega Metagross Gonna really threaten down that Xenia's but still has to be quite careful about the Incinero Incinero known to carry a Z move and also those flare blitzes as well We're gonna see a fake out into the Metagross from the Incinero on Preston So the field is a torn comes out from Stu's tornadoes into the Xenia's gonna prevent it from firing out a GM And see this turn just the Metagross does flinch and no GM I'm actually coming out from the Xenia's and just a moon blast into that tornado It's doing some big damage there taking it down into the red really threatened gun into this next turn Xenia's gonna switch out now from the threat of that iron head from the Metagross as we see the Moongas take its place on Preston side of the field and we are gonna see as the move now fired up from this tornadoes It is gonna be that supersonic sky strike You've got to think it might be into this Incinero slot thinking that Preston knows that the Xenia's is taunted It is susceptible to an iron head. Let's get it out of here So Stu may be picking up on that maybe taking the opportunity to get this Incinero We do see the supersonic sky strike into that slot and if the Metagross has doubled up into it with a stomp and tantrum Which it has looks like he is gonna pick up an early knockout here Which is really big here for Stu really nice player there predicting that and the Incinero going down on Preston's end of the field But now the Xenia's coming back onto the field and with that a Moongas next to it now can pull in of those Torns from the tornadoes pull in those iron heads from the Metagross to allow that Xenia's the GM Set of one I'm gonna see it this turn as the Xenia's just goes for that protect here And we are gonna see the torn from the tornadoes into the Moonga slot this time I'm just gonna stop it setting away with those spores as we do see a Mental hub activate on the Moonga's and iron head into that Xenia's as we do see a spore now Fired off into that Metagross slot and he's gonna put it to sleep and protect that Xenia's for the next coming turns We know the Metagross is gonna have a full turn of sleep going into this next turn Now we do see the rage powder here Preston really is setting the board up very nicely here as he is gonna pull in the Potential taunt from the tornadoes which it's actually not going for here Suspecting the rage powder going for the tailwind trying to keep pace with this Xenia's now Metagross gonna just sleep this turn off as the Xenia's finally in a position now to get this GM And see off boost itself up and get set up for the rest of this game to try and see Preston out You're gonna see the power hub activate for this one turn set up special attack special defense and speed Making this Xenia's very threatening and even in front of the metamag mega Metagross If I can get my words out it is gonna be hitting very hard So we're going into the next turn now We'll see what these Pokemon do and Moonga's just gonna protect this next turn doesn't want to take any unnecessary Damage does the Metagross wake up? That's the big thing hurricane coming out from the tornadoes into that among us as we see the Metagross Just take another snooze for this turn as the Xenia's now gonna be able to fire off It doesn't leave do some nice damage to this tornadoes pick up the knockout and some really decent damage to the Metagross with Doesn't gleam as well. You think it's nearly down to 50% health Kyle gonna now gonna hit the field for stew It is gonna prime or avert more than likely as we see here that blue orb and bring that prime audio See to the field and become pretty threatening although the Amugus is threatening some big damage and also has that rage powder They can really obstruct the Metagross's ability to hit that Xenia's which is what you are wanting to do So stew's main priority here is getting rid of the Amugus not being able to taunt it shut down with the tornado This is really hindered Metagross's ability going forward in this match after the Xenia's is set up stew's straight away Switching the Kyle go out on his side of the field and bringing his own Xenia's onto the field as we see a rage powder from the Amugus here press since it in pretty safe now because the Amugus will be able to take the iron head of the Metagross does wake up as it Does right now go for the stomping tantrum I'm gonna go into that Amugus not gonna be doing that much damage But actually doing really big damage there as we see a moon blast now into this Metagross and this should be enough to pick up the knockout Which it is not very effective Doesn't gleam and moon blast picking up the knockout there and that's one of the problems I think with Metagross is it can hit Xenia's for so big such big damage But it cannot take those boosted Geomancy attacks It's all about shutting down that Geomancy if you can the Amugus doing such a good job in this match I've been able to support the Xenia's on press instead of the field We do see it finally switch out and now the ground on come on to the field now There is no option for stew to switch that Kyle grow and he's just setting the tone for the weather Winning this weather wall with the ground on and put himself in a really nice position going into these latter turns of this game So there we go the primal reversion the desolate land activating the Sun coming to the field for the ground on and obstructing that Kyle ground the opposite side of the field any Momentum of getting the water type attacks off now stew Xenia's under tailwind is going to be able to actually get a tone Geomancy off pulling stew back into this match. It's gonna be difficult though with the ground on Resisting those very type attacks now. It's got that fire typing to it But still stew has a little bit of a lifeline now going into the rest of this game Let's see the Geomancy activate from that power herb on inside the field and the moon blast now fired off from the Xenia's Into the opposing Xenia's and because of that Geomancy boost actually able to take that with the water spout Being nullified by the desolate land as the tailwind piters out So we're going to this next turn how good just gonna protect on stew side of the field the Xenia's on stew side Gonna be the fastest thing but no was a speed tie there So the Xenia's goes for into the ground on sorry It wasn't a speed tag we saw earlier on to use Xenia's the fastest thing and the dazzling gleam now coming out from The Xenia's on the pressure so they feel not enough to pick up the knockout But the precipice blades gonna be enough as long as it connects on to stew Xenia's and this will all but seal up the game For Preston to take game one here as the Kyoga in the Sun facing down against a boosted Xenia's and a ground I'm not gonna have the best of times coming back into this one So Preston taking an early win game one and we will go straight into Game two so we'll get into game two here You can see stew on the top of your screen as the previous game and hectic on the bottom and he is leading out again with this Incinero and Xenia's that works so well for him in game one can stew adapt as he leads out with the same Combination again the tornadoes and that meta meta cross maybe the man game start now Does he go for the taunt like he didn't get one or does he just start all out attacking with the meta cross? I think the tailwinds a priority if you can't stop the German seat So you've got to have a way of getting around that now the meta cross gonna mega evolve here on Stew side of the field become a big threat straight away obviously not affected by that Intimidate from the incident because of that clear body ability that it had before mega evolved Just seeing the Xenia's protect again this turn one I want to take any unnecessary damage here as we see a Z move coming out from the tornadoes turn one It is going to be going for that combination probably into the incineroar here with the meta meta cross following up With this dumping tantrum into that slot and we've seen from game one It is just about enough to pick up the knockout onto the incineroar if we do see that double in But it's not actually the double in this time He's going for the Xenia's behind the protect not going to be enough damage here as he does hit into it Taking a bit of chip damage here and an iron head into that protect leaving the incineroar free to fire off its own Z move now And this could be the end of the road here already for stew if you lose that meta meta cross He is really short of options to deal with that Xenia's effectively can still shut down with the taunt But you've got to worry about the moonga's lurking in the back And if you've only got Kyogre in there once you bring it in it opens the door for Preston to utilize that ground on Once again putting him on the front foot. So we are seeing the malicious moonsault into that meta cross It is going to be enough to pick up the knockout here incineroar in really tip top shape still and stew down One of Pokemon in resources We're going to see the incineroar now coming onto the field for stew as it is going to cycle the intimidate onto the incineroar And that's only it's not affecting the Xenia's being a special attacker But predominantly onto that incineroar here The Xenia's now switches out and Tabu Finney hits the field for Preston as we see it activate its misty surgibility with that misty terrain Be interesting to see if the tornadoes goes for a taunt But just firing off a hurricane into this incineroar slot now and doing some nice damage Actually as we see a U-turn come out from Preston's incineroar into the tornadoes breaking a potential focus sash there as The incineroar on stew said the field going to be open to do whatever It'd be interesting to see if it does U-turn here because he is going to have access to bring in that Kyogre If he does U-turn onto that Groudon slot predicting maybe the Groudon coming in for Preston That would put stew back and drive and seek going into these next few turns Getting your Kyogre out when the Groudon's out on the field really does help you dictate a matchup The Tabu Finney is a little bit awkward to deal with but you can do a lot to get around that We are going to see the U-turn from the incineroar You've got to expect it is that Kyogre in the back It does go back into its pokeball and stew going to throw out that Kyogre and overwrite that desolate land setting up a Perfect ball position going into this next turn. So we are going to see the Kyogre primal revert It will activate that primordial seat and like we've already said overwrite that desolate land and now The tornado is in a nice position to go for a tailwind Maybe even go for a taunt into that Tabu Finney suspecting maybe a gravity set up here But the Groudon is definitely going to retreat but you know what Preston's got in the back He doesn't actually retreat this turn. He keeps the Groudon in just going for a protect Maybe see an icy wind come out from this Tabu Finney here as you see a hurricane into that slot from the tornado Is icy wind now firing out from this Tabu Finney Just going to reduce the speed a little bit on that tornado this and reduce the speed on that Kyogre The Kyogre got very bulky and very slow on this team But the Tabu Finney actually are speeding it before the icy winds are not going to make too much difference there But to that tornado is 100% so we see a waterspout now Fired off from the Kyogre It is going to be into that Tabu Finney not into that Groudon that has protected and just proc with that 50% berry here on the Tabu Finney and get all that nice health back That is just lost with that wiki berry now we got into the next turn now Just the Groudon this turn retreating we're gonna see the Incineroar hit the field And this is looking like a little bit of a sacrifice here You get rid of the Incineroar on the field to bring your Groudon back in get that weather control back in your favor If you're pressed in so let's see what we see going on the Tabu Finney is gonna go for that gravity Removing any flying or levitators on the field that including that tornado is bringing it down to the ground Susceptible to those precipice blades once that Groudon comes back in gonna see a hurricane now from the Tornatus into the Tabu Finney may be putting it in range for a waterspout as we see it come out from the Kyogre And it does pick up to knockouts here So you're still in a decent position here You've got to worry about the Groudon coming back in with that Zernius And you're kind of tied a little bit because you want to tailwind you want to switch out your Kyogre To get it back in in a tailwind But if you do that you're letting the Zernius set up with that Geomancy now It's a bit of a 50-50 call here Do you go for the taunt into the Zernius? And then if you do and it protects and the Groudon's left unchecked and it can go for a precipice blades It's just gonna knock you out and then you're back to square one with actually only two Pokemon I think the one thing you have to do if you stay here is switch that Kyogre out to try and get the weather control Coming back into it and your best bet might be to just go for a tailwind here rather than that taunt because of the protect Potentially coming out on that Zernius here trying for the Groudon to get the knockout on to the Taunatus And we do see the Zernius go for that protect here so has Stu went for the tailwind He's actually went for the taunt in the 50-50 going a little bit wrong from here, but the Groudon Not attacking the Taunatus gonna survive another day So we see a sword stance here So Stu's still in this one as we see the Groudon just power up with that sword stance We're gonna see the taunt this turn into the Zernius here as we see no fake out from the Groudon and From from the Incineroar into the Groudon I think he needed to do that And we do see a moon blast into the taunatus from the Zernius Suspecting that taunt and now plus two precipice blades. It's gonna be into that Incineroar and Does pick up the knockout there Maybe the tailwind would have been a better turn But hindsight is always a beautiful thing Isn't it as we see pressing in a really nice position with the Kyogre coming on to the field now Now the Zernius hasn't boosted up so it's not got that going for it But the Groudon it plus two it will out to be the Kyogre all it needs to do now is hit precipice blades We know how shaky the accuracy can be and trust me I know myself how bad that can be so can't rely on it But hopefully it does hit for pressing sake and hopefully not for Stu's But we are gonna see moon blast hit and then the precipice blades also make connection with this Kyogre Picking up the win and Preston taking a 2-0 victory in this week's feature game So well done to Preston well done to Stu. What a great game to kick us off into week three and Massive props of both players but a big big win for Preston there been showing really good control of his board position So really massive props to him there and what we'll do guys now is jump into the results for week three So you can see those on your screen right now We've got your line beating Alex to nil night like nil a Zenefus days to got Ryan PB Herbert beating Pinko to nil got Costa to Salkran nil Kazumi to Marcus nil worms I won a shade to shade keeping up a really good record of the minute here and Continuing that good streak from the moon series from winning that their salty elective as one the Ouija to Johnny to Pokemon a nil chance to man to to Stu nil Crim nil will to and Cameron to nappy one So they are the results from a week three and it's been a really nice episode just featuring that match and just some really good Ball control there from Preston, you know utilizing the moon guessing game one is so well against the big threats You know the tornadoes that can shut down zonius the metagross that can damage it so heavily But utilizing the moonga center way away You can really make advantage and take advantage of especially the item that the mental herb on there Allowing him to get the spawn to the metagross and then dictating the geomancy and just going from there And you can see how powerful and why players rely so heavily on that combination with the Incineroar You kind of just don't really need anything else although the ground on coming in right at the end Did tied up there from and then in game two position himself really well at the end game doesn't need the geomancy Knows it will be denied but getting that guard on and a position where it's got the gravity set up It's got the plus two precipice blades and then all you're relying on is a present with blades not missing And that was enough to kind of carry them through so massive props to both players I hope you guys at home have enjoyed today's episode will be back very soon with a week fours game So I'm really looking forward to that and we've got a real corker of a game for you in week four So do not miss that one. Thank you so much for tuning in. I will see you all for the next one Have a great day guys and until then take care and bye. Bye
