 Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our Pokemon VGC 2019 battle series It is Wednesday We kick off the week this week with the team on the screen in front of you right now It's always it is down in the description down below with a roll paste and a poker paste if you guys would like to try it out Take it away test it. Let me know how you get on with it. I hope you have a lot of fun with it It's got a lot of potential just to recap before going to anything. We've got the tapu finny The mega metagross you felt all incinero groudon and that thunderous incarnate form So we've not really seen too much from the thunderous incarnate We've had a brief spell with the metagross doing some work And so hopefully we can see a bit more of those too and in today's episode and for the rest of the week We've had some really good matches so far and they've helped us been performing extremely well And it just goes to show even more why I think I made a big mistake Not bringing the misty seed variant to Bristol instead of a Z variant that I did bring And I think the misty seed is just so reliable and I'm so comfortable with it as well I think that's the other thing so Big tip for you guys going into tournaments if you are worrying about maybe needing a Z move or something Newer on the team, but you're more comfortable with something you still have a lot of faith that it could do the job That you needed to go with that go with your gut go with your first choice It's normally the best one not always but most of the time But you know you live and you learn and there's nothing like hindsight I will say that but without further ado guys Let's jump into this first one today Hopefully it doesn't take too long to find opponent and there's always if you do enjoy this content Make sure to drop a like on the video to subscribe to the channel for more Pokemon content and leave your comments down below Because I love hearing from you all Just hop over to this screen because I know you appreciate the bottom screen. We're sitting on a rating of 1695 So creeping towards the 1700 which it definitely know this teams capable of getting way above that I really do I have a lot of faith in this team. I think it can perform so well like I really do I have a lot of faith in this build. It's just that last slot. I'm not really sure on but we've got Xavier as a first opponent So we'll get straight into team preview It's gonna be a spicy one So first born in today is running a team of tapulele a cell gore requires a dustman across my Cortana and bliss level on so the yeah The clown that let me down is in the team Okay, so we've got some real spice going on here. We've got the lele the a cell gore It's gonna have the unburdened probably the psychic seed It's gonna have final gambit loads of shenanigans going on here Which is actually lovely for us to have to deal with the requires a Duskman across Matt is a quite a nice combination I do like it and something that I would like to explore as well Probably is ultra and across Matt and then you've got the Cortana there and the bliscephalon I have no idea what the bliscephalon is doing in the team, but I Don't know if it's scoffed. I don't know it would be like between that and the tapulele I'd say more tapulele being scoffed, but I'm not really too sure a beltles incredibly good in this game We need to be very careful with it, and I don't think we bring it in straight away I think we keep it for later. I think we do bring incinero to this game Do we what do we do though what do we do and we could bring I think we bring eval tol tapu finny and And But but but do we bring do we bring ground on? Yeah, we'll bring ground on to this one as well. I'm all looking oh These teams are so tricky. I think the best way to approach this sort of team and personally from a personal point Well, if I was going into a tournament against this sort of team I would think especially if it's best of three you've got to think okay Let's just go with a game plan game one. Let's try and get as much information for game two and From the information that you can get in game one like take your time with when you're battling and Really try and squeeze out as much juice from your opponent's team as possible Make it worth your while so going into game two you can sit back You can take your time and you can formulate a game plan from the information you've got because Having that information makes such a difference going forward. So we're gonna see the lele and these so go come out for my opponent I think one of the things I would like to probably do here is just fake out the a cell go and switch straight away into tap a finny Just to get some health Some damage onto this a cell go and obviously stop it from doing anything here I've got to worry about an uncle from the cell go the following turn Just something that you need to worry about acid spray as well as something else that we need to worry about But at least we get some damage onto it There's a moon blast from the lele and you can expect it's going to be acid spray the cell go for sure Okay, so I think one thing we will do is just go for a flat let's into the cell go and I think I see wind. I think we I see wind. I think I need to Nerve this tap a little as the acid spray. Oh, no, okay, we're gonna lose penny here. It's fine It's fine. I don't like losing finny at all, but I Kind of prefer losing finny to losing in center off if I'm completely honest, so we'll get rid of this a cell go It's not an ideal trade, but it's a trade that I can accept for sure I don't hate it. It's just annoying to play because it's it's It's just very effective it won't does isn't it Now do we bring a groud on here or do we bring an envelope? I think you're bringing you felt We'll get the misty seed up and we can okay That's fine Now the necrosis can't really touch you out. Oh, at least I don't feel like it can and I'm gonna you turn out with Incinero onto the lele and I'm gonna tailwind as well It's her when do a tailwind do a tailwind do I tell I do tailwind for sure Because if we can get groud on in tailwind, yeah, there's the ultra necrosis I don't like we could lose Incinero here if the nurse power comes into that slot, which would make a lot of sense But I can't afford to switch groud on in here. So there's a moon blast from the table Take that pretty comfortably Rock slide what Jesus oh, man did not expect that please don't I'm not even gonna say the word. I didn't even say it and it happens I hate I mean you've just got a laugh you just got a laugh Forget the tailwind up there. Oh We're in such a good position. It's not really what you can do. I don't to get a tailwind up now No Rock slide Rock slide, okay It's gonna have earthquake as well. I imagine like one thing could probably see here happening Although I don't think it'll happen right now is requires a switching in for the lele and then earthquake coming up from the necrosis It's obviously a physical variant. Okay, it's gonna actually protect. Maybe we make some progress a little bit here I don't think we're gonna be able to make very much though moon blast Okay, if the screen goes black, it's because I've thrown my DS out of the window All we needed was that to hit all we needed is at any point Keep any belt or here. How would we be better off? switching in this in a row Maybe Yeah, I'm gonna just do it and then get the intimate it onto this necrosis. Actually retreats. Okay So we're not gonna be able to do much to the requiser here But we get an intimate onto it which is a plus and hopefully you know the moon blast is gonna be into the incineroar slot Because they want to try and get rid of this who belt all the problem is like Manufacturing a bold position now where we can have incineroar out with fake out active Is at any point of having I look that may as well just not have a third attacking option on Goudon. Um It's got eruption. It's not gonna really do anything Because requires a does requires a protect probably I mean, it's like this game is done. I mean we Press this blade so much Such a jank move. It really is The worst worst of worst. Yeah, there's a delta stream. Okay. Hopefully we can get the fake out Wow Incineroar hang on Go down So that eruption it probably won't even take that the delay layout now. We'll get some nice damage onto the ray Of course you want because yeah We do get the top of Lele so that's Plus I guess And now we've got eval to come in Hmm. Yeah, I mean I mean what can we do there is nothing if I'll tell if it was in better shape I Think well, we could definitely try and do some stuff, but It's it's looking pretty bleak third time lucky we'll try a precipice blades We'll try and we'll try and protect with eval tol thing is you probably like the request of just extreme speeds evil So now I'll probably just see earthquake from this necrosma As the extreme speed earthquake Gonna see Z move Here we go gonna have to make a cut scene So we'll be right back when it comes into the ground on which is where I expected to be So yeah into the ground on We probably do it's a physical variant. Yeah, just about kind of precipice blades off Kind of hit hits kind of crits. That's the big thing And we could go for a double protect Really bell toll Not that it matters right now Now we never we never and I don't get them either. I just don't I don't fall into that group That group of people they get double protects So good game to my opponent and Bad game for ground on once again ground on bad bad ground on So crowd on's fault. It's my fault for giving it precipice blades Blame it on me. All right. Ah, it's annoying. It's annoying when you play moves and they miss But I mean the thing is you've got it you've got to sit back at the end of the day and think right Well, I did I did decide to play this on here and I will tell you flat out now This set originally had and so it started as a full special set And I was like, we probably need some physical option to help us with Zernius So because initially I was like I don't like precipice blades so much So let's let's try something else now. I'll hop over to a bottom screen Thing so yeah, I was like, okay, so we just need something really primarily falls on you So why not go something really reliable fire punch? Let's go there. You don't need very much investment 50% Damage 100% of the time. Okay, we can do that to hit chaos on you most of the time so we do that and Then I was like are so many situations where precipice blades would be good So then I changed to it and then your presto We start missing and I'm back to where we had but we've got a good friend Luigi's on the ladder all the time these days But patron member we played him last week. I think with not the best result But we're gonna face him again. So it's gonna be a good one. We'll hop straight into team preview my friends So Luigi playing a team of that we have played before Katana Requires a zonius the crowbat the incineroar and the type of finny. So it is the x-ray core You've got speed control from the crowbat. You're gonna have incineroar with fake-out support Here's probably on the top of finny and the katana It's a nice introduction to this team. It really does help against opposing the illegal that this team Does struggle against a little bit But one thing I can say is that metagross can be very good here depending on the requiser if the requiser has earth power it does get a little bit trickier, but Metagross does a fantastic job. It's just about dealing with the crowbat and the finny which we have thunderous for so we will bring thunderous. I think Okay, let's let's eke this one out. So do we bring Intimidate support. Hmm. I Don't know if it do I like that. I like the lead of Metagross Thunderous type of finny in the back in any beltel I'm completely honest That's what we're locking in with because we run out of time Running out of time so chatting too much at the start But I think we've got the the fall that we wanted so let's go into this. Good luck my friend Luigi Always nice bumping into him. It's like Ching Ching from a few weeks ago who kept bumping into like Luigi you are new Ching Okay Here's an old lead from the old 2015 season Before that so crowbat and requiser, okay The crowbat is probably sashed And But dude does it go for super fine expecting that we taunt it that's the thing I would expect it to do that to be honest Because I could protect thunderous, but then we get punished if it goes for a tailwind we really do And I could just ice punch the requiser. I think I'm gonna just go for that I'm gonna go for the the ice punch. I'm gonna just go for the tone into the crowbar. We probably see super fine But I don't want them to get a tailwind up. That's the big thing So here's the the ray going for its mega Evolution see what the race got has it got a power that it would be interesting if it has there's super fun It power would be pretty devastating for us There's a taunt at least we get that off into the crowbat what items it got Okay, it goes for the super fine. It's going into Metagross, okay, oh Okay, it's a salt vest race, so it's gonna have a part so we're gonna lose metagross straight away All the heat oh Oh the heat misses that is devastating. That is devastating really is okay, and That is really really that's not great Luigi never has much luck against me I've got ice punch into the request. I can't fall not to I could have just I I could iron head into it as well Like iron heads probably a bit more reliable Just in case something else which is in because I expect you every switch out Incident yeah Could have stomping tantrum there. That would have been good Probably say super fine thunderous this time Just putting everything in extreme speed range outside of the metagross of course, which would have went down to another heat There's a thunderbolt into the crowbat It does take Nice chunk of damage You can only fake out one target, right? really So we could get rid of the crowbar. It probably would be worth it to do that right now I'm just gonna thunderbolt the crowbar again. I'm actually gonna switch into I don't want to lose metagross. I think metagross is too important to us. I'm gonna switch into type of finny Like I think you probably fake out the thunderous, but there's a big part of me that thinks you might want to fake out the metagross as well But probably more than thunderous No fake out. It's a super fine We will get Okay, we're gonna get rid of the crowbar That overheat miss so huge There's a z move. I think it's gonna be into the metagross. I'd imagine So if it is taboo finny takes it A lot easier than metagross would yeah, and then the ray coming back in. Oh zernius It's interesting because it can taunt There's only it's right now. I The thing is I don't think it goes for I really don't think it goes for the M The set up right now. No way No way Hmm We got a Z move so we could launch the Z move into The zernius just set up a light screen Especially because it's a solvus ray I think that's a more inclined to do that the solvus ray definitely. Yeah, let's set up a light screen while we can Let's throw our own Z move out at the zernius. I mean if it goes for a geomancy You're kind of Yeah, I mean we're getting punished for not taunting it like that's the obvious thing we need to do and If it goes for the geomancy here does make things a bit difficult for us But at least we'll get some nice damage onto the zernius expect it to do like 50% maybe Okay, it does it's quite that's yeah. Okay. There's a geomancy Together the light screen will probably lose thunderous here. I would imagine to incineroar We're just gonna see you I mean, you're making all the right players like you're getting Rayquaza out next to your zernius to prevent Here's the next turn. That's the big thing, isn't it? So I think you have to dragon a cent finny here probably dragon a cent and doesn't gleam Metagross, okay, I mean We don't have his anyway So we could I see when you could I see when I think I see when it's probably our best option right now Protect under us Doesn't gleam. Maybe this just knocks us into better like if this knocks us into very range. Oh I will one off one off We're not one of we're quite a little bit more There's a very early proct. No, I don't think it has Okay, then we can get metagross in but it's it's a little bit tricky now Because we can't get rid of Rayquaza. We have to get rid of Rayquaza I mean we could try and thunderbolt Rayquaza and Just protect and protect metagross just if they switch in incineroar For Rayquaza, that wouldn't be ideal extreme speed See, I would think maybe there you would extreme speed metagross, but Kind of makes sense not to move last Yeah, I think with a light screen up will take a move last But you kind of force and you're forced to kind of This is still gonna be tough because With the incineroar being the last thing around When we cancel off good far play Tailwind try double protect. We probably just needed far play the Rayquaza and just iron head The turn Moon blast You should take this We'll get the iron head. Yeah, the Rayquaza probably picks up the knockout onto the metagross We'll get the Rayquaza with Yveltal And then we've got Yveltal does hit this time Yeah, Yveltal versus incineroar. Hmm Don't fancy our chances to be honest because you've not really got a way to hit it very hard If we had a blivion wing, I think it would be a lot easier hmm Is he incineroar taking like any damage at all pretty sure this incineroar that is Taking a little bit of damage not a lot though so first turn Let's play the stall game. I'm just gonna protect on the fake out. We just don't want to take any damage there See what our foul play is doing. It's gonna have a berry as well. Oh No, it hasn't got a berry. It was the Z move variant So there is there is a possibility depends how much damage we do obviously in how much damage flablets does as well But there will be Okay Yeah, we possibly could do it. I think if he keeps on flableting If he's smart, I think you start you turning here. Oh That's great Luigi, I'm sorry my friend The other heat mist was terrible early game, but very good game Regardless, I think the orangey was just on our side a little bit and maybe white earth powers Slightly better in some situations than other heat just for the reliability there because you're kind of generally hitting the seams Sort of Pokemon with that attack But I know I had a conversation with him Earlier in the week and it doesn't really relate to this game But he does know that the metagross pretty much normally takes another heat from her crisis So he might have just went for that to guarantee after a little bit of chip damage He'd done so that would make a lot of sense anyway, but great game to Luigi I hope you guys have enjoyed it. We're gonna end it up there. We'll be back with more Games from this team tomorrow and just enjoy the rest of you there guys. Thank you so much for tuning in I'll see you for the next one. So until then take care and bye. Bye
