 Hello friends and welcome back to another episode here on the channel. My name is Lee also known as Osiris and today We're gonna continue on with our series seven content So we've got the team that you can see on the screen in front of you now consisting of Tornadis Mamaswine, Rillaboom, Rotomwash, Incineroar and that brand new Pokemon to the crown tundra to sword and shield Reggie Adrego, so it's gonna be a fun team Reggie Drago kind of tagged on there at the end but I think it offers a team a different dimension So we'll see how it goes as always. We'll have a couple of games with the team We'll talk through it some of the mods to the team and then I'll throw up the rental code at the end There will be a poker paste down in the description below if you want to grab that check the details out or jump on showdown And hopefully it inspires some ideas or you just like the team in general and have a lot of success with it Now before we get into the battles today I would just like to say finally we got a huge announcement yesterday about all the details for the players cup 2 and when that'll be Starting in the coverage and things like that and also the announcement that I'll actually be joining the VG team Which I'm very excited about it's gonna be exciting to get behind the desk or at least the virtual desk in this in this case with With Lou Rosemary and Adam, so I'm very excited to join those casters as well It's gonna be really fun And I hope you guys can get behind the stream support the players and you hopefully really enjoy it as well all the Details if you want to check them out will be linked down in the description as well So without further ado friends, let's jump into this first battle today And we've got a first opponent of the episode and they are playing a team of cindy race Glarian Articuno, Reggie Alecchi, Tapu Finney, Landeris and Weevile so that was a little staggered but as we can see on the team there They've got mods of well They probably got a speed control mod in the Reggie Alecchi Maybe Electro web there But the other speed control mod really primarily comes from the Articuno potentially has trick room Although it's probably their mode to support anti trick room rather than anything else got max air stream on that and the Landeris So their things we'll have to watch out for now or what can we do against this team? I feel like Maybe Reggie there's no fake while there is fake out for my opponent the the weevile that could be a little bit awkward and Okay, I think what we'll do is we will lead off with incinero the Intimidates gonna be very useful for us for sure I think my opponent definitely and this is the thing with this team when you see the Reggie Drago They want to bring the the tapu finney But the thing is we've got Rotom and Rillaboom that deal with it so well So I think that's that's something we've got going for us So maybe a late game Reggie Drago could be a possibility here. Um, I definitely think we need the intimidate support It's gonna be very useful. Um, we could go double fake out and all honesty and although I Think Rotom's not a bad shout as a lead with incinero I think we'll go Reggie Drago in the back and I think we'll bring big old Mama swine as well because it helps us out against the lander us and obviously That Reggie are lekkie that we see there and the Articuno as well Can't it's so weird with Articuno and the new Galarian birds It's like in my head around the new typings because I'm so used to like obviously being a genuine player myself You know little old me knee-high playing red blue and yellow Discovering legendary Pokemon for the first time and it ever since then it's kind of stuck in now They've changed it all and I'm so confused I'm so confused But we can use ice attacks against Articuno and they are super effective. So that's a good thing Right anyway aside from my mind games that I play with myself We've got lander us and cinder is coming up from my opponent. Okay, so what are the threats here? I mean Rotom's in it an incredible position. It's not really threatened too hard from anything on my opponent side of the field We could see a bounce from the opposing cinder ace We we've got the opportunity where we could potentially just go for a parting shot We could just switch in signal out and into mama swine Although it's kind of risky. I think a parting shots better than we made to get any damage It will be taking I think we'll go into the cinder ace here and I'm gonna try and get a nasty plot off Is that too greedy because we could max here? You're gonna see my opponent max it looks like it's gonna be the cinder ace just from the poke of all I'm gonna go for max knuckle probably I'd imagine you want to get that attack stat back up But really what we want to do is use the incinero here to pivot out if we can lower the attack stat again Yeah, no, we should take this with incinero. It should just proc out a figgy berry And then we should have enough health to take whatever the lander is throws out at us I don't think it's gonna actually proc the berry here. We might be in a little bit of an awkward position, but I Think if we get a nasty plot off, we're still kind of all right U-turn and we're gonna be able to we take this. Yes. Okay. That's perfect. So the U-turn coming out That's fine We'll get a nasty plot off for free and we'll be able to put the Cinderace back down to minus one with the option now to bring the incinero back in the next turn To get it down to minus two to really mitigate its kind of momentum stop it getting any momentum really tap of finny Now coming on to the field which we welcome We just have to be conscious now obviously the lander's in the back Can we freely go for a thunderbolt into that slot? Now Rotom's gonna have a big target on its head now. We've got the nasty plot so my opponent's gonna be Instantly worried about Rotom, but we do have the option to max and go after the the Cinderace if we want with a Max geyser and could be a nice idea to do I Don't think we bring in Reggie Drago yet. I think Reggie Drago is a nice option to bring in at the end of the match Although if you bring it in we kind of bait Almost bait my opponent into attacking it and then we could maybe go for that way But I think the mammoth swans may be a better play. The only issue is I think If we bring incinero back in now, we probably go down to a max knuckle, which isn't great But I mean it's not the end of the world losing Incinero really we'll go for the geyser into Cinderace that you pick up there Well, I probably won't pick the knock-up out because it's not a fire type So unless it goes for a fire type attack, then I'm not gonna be getting it I wouldn't have thought without the rain boost, but we'll do enough damage to it anyway and the finny To me right now is in a very awkward spot because if they don't protect There's the chance that we could knock them out. So I feel like they have to switch or protect here Amit if they go for a calm mind that makes things a little bit more awkward for us So we'll max the Rotom and That's in races down minus two. So We'll see what we can do. We see what where it goes, but the max knuckle makes sense But we may say max flare that would be yeah, my G max fireball. That's perfect gone after the mammoth swine like that. Okay, that works out Absolutely perfect for us. Now the Sun is gonna be up But that is the I think is that on a much just a muddy water in signal avoiding and double avoid. Okay That's the crux of their muddy water. Sometimes. It's not always the best And we do get the knock out there. Of course, it doesn't set the Sun That's the one drawback with the the cinderace. Just remember it has been such a long time since the soul cinderace So the Sun not set. Yeah, um Because of it's a G max And we do get the rain up and now we're in a phenomenal spot now We can just pick things off really with the nasty plot and the one reason why I love Rotom in this format right now Is you're seeing a lot of popular Pokemon like metagross landeris incinerole tapu finny and Literally Rotom wash now I know you've seen joy have amazing success recently with Rotom Rotom heat and that is For kind of a similar reason it's such a good Pokemon at the minute It's such a good meta shout was a really smart shout by him To play it in the tournament that he won recently and the victory road one and I think Rotom wash falls into that same category like it completely walls anything if metagross hasn't got Zen head But it completely resists every single attack metagross can throw at it So it's a very good Pokemon against a lot of the though that the top used Pokemon at the moment So it's this is why I wanted to feature it today Same with the mammoth swine as well, you know mammoth swine's another incredible Pokemon and we'll go for the fake out into the landeris stop that attack in this turn and we will go for a Max lightning get rid of the Because I would like to bring Reggie Drago and at some point that would be that's they're gonna be there the magic The magic formula for this episode. I feel like okay Well, the thing is we get rid of the the messy terrain which is gonna be the big thing for us here The problem is the next turn is if The the finny switches out let's see how much this does behind a protected should still do about 50% Very close very close nearly 50% around 40% so Now the finny either switches out here or I Mean do we switch it's in or out we could do I mean we're sitting pretty Comfortable where we've got the mammoth swine in the back. What have they what potentially if they got in the back That's what we're looking for that they could switch in for the electric type attack like literally nothing Literally nothing. They've got they've got either Articuno Reggie a lecky Weevil and I don't think it's weevil so I think we're pretty safe I think we'll go for a parting shot into the landeris and we'll just go for that max lightning again I'd expect the finny to switch out. Wow. We don't we're not gonna see it Okay, so The lander is self-sacrificing um The finny Maybe trying to proc a berry gets rid of the incineroar, but like I say at this point it doesn't really matter It does proc a berry. So that's a smart play from my opponent. You know if we're targeting The lander is here it may give my opponent the you know, they've got the muddy water So I guess they are faster than us. So it makes sense you're getting an attack off But they're kind of struggling at this point And now we can bring in Reggie drago and if it's not reggie a lecky We we're in a good spot because reggie a lecky. I think Does it start speed us? I think we would need to be Positive nature to out speed it. I'm pretty sure I'm not 100% sure I should have checked that before we jump down But we'll we'll soon find out soon find out if it's glaring Articuno Then that is the the magic pokemon first because then we can see dragon energy in action um There's the argument as well to go something like life orb on reggie drago Especially when we've got tailwind with uh tornadoes get kind of guaranteed Tailwind in the team so we can take advantage of it that way and then you've got to protect but I just feel like there's not really much Other than like reggie drago feels like the sort of pokemon you want to bring At the like very late game when you've got rid of you created your win condition You've got rid of something like tap of finny where you can bring it in you can just do Do a good job or at the start of a game to kind of pave the way for maybe a mode You've got in the back and I feel like it can do that very very well Right. Well, we're probably going to see a fake out We'll go for the dragon energy anyway, but we're probably going to see the we've out fake us out And we'll go for a hydro pump into the landeris I'm not too worried here at all. I mean we got mama swine in the back So we're kind of fine But it's just the fact that I would like like to see the reggie drago do something in this episode because like I've said before You know some episodes where we go through depends on the matchup. So oh, oh, perfect. Perfect We might see a double ko then now, which is excellent. Okay, so here we go dragon energy. We are scoffed so Not quite enough not quite I thought would do more but that is the salt vest landeris We can kind of guarantee that now taking the we've got down to its sash And reggie drago still do like tanks moves. He's got such a high base hp as well. And wait, we are fine Now we are fine. Um, and that should be game right now. But yeah, I salt vest landeris and nice call For this format, I kind of have still been preferring scoffed in the minute. So Um, but there is there is the warrant of a salt vest for sure It's situations like this, you know, where you can guarantee taking some like crazy big hit and not have to worry about just losing landeris like So freely But I don't think there's too much my opponent can do now As we will be able to at least we don't see the forfeit. We do see Reggie drago get this get this knockout, which is amazing. So I do love reggie drago I just feel like it's got really it's having a really rough time at the minute of the format Like tapu finny is the number one most used pokemon and like the best counter to ready drago that you can get Is going to be tapu finny. So it's a really it's really hard time for it to to really do A lot of work at the minute. Um, and its coverage is Appalling it's got no coverage at all be nice if we got maybe a third dlc I don't think we will but if we if there was ever a chance that we got a third dlc It would be really nice. Um, and then maybe get some tutor moves and open that up and some options and stuff like that It'll be great. Okay. Well good game to my opponent and we'll move on to our next opponent of the episode Okay, we got our next opponent in the episode and they are playing a team of glastria hitran tapu finny dustclops toga kiss and thunderous therian form Hmm. Okay. Well Reggie drago is going to have a really hard time here Just because of the the toga kiss and the tapu finny that combination there kind of discounts reggie drago straight away um Incineroar really good for the intimidate support for sure. I think rautum's Incredibly strong in this matchup. Uh, it hits pretty much everything For super effective damage excluding like the the dustclops and the the glastria But it still doesn't do a bad job against glastria. Um It's what our last pokemon are going to be. I think mama swine's very good, especially against hitran Especially like if we're in a good Like position speed control wise, maybe tornadoes is going to be the better one, you know, I kind of feel as well like We may be better going to stop the trick room Where my opponent's going to have to be forced to to bring like toga kiss and dustclops if they want the trick room up um Yeah, I think that's not a bad play and then we've got incineroar and mamao in the back Yeah, we'll go with that We will go with that and see how we get on against this team. This team looks this team looks very tricky But I could say that about most teams that you bump into on the ladder So we'll we'll see if we can get some more more action from the team We've got reggie drago and game one. So that is all it matters and uh, we don't need to see anymore But I mean this is the the point reggie drago is just a hard pokemon to bring at the minute and look at seriously I think it's a it's a good pokemon, but it's very situational Now we do see the the toga kiss and the dustclops They're going to get the trick room up 100 percent 100 percent. There's nothing we can do about it So they have to follow me here. We'll take the opportunity to nasty plot. We'll switch in Um, I don't think we switch in just yet I think we do try and taunt Just for the fact that They may not follow me But they do okay, that's fine The thing is I don't want to switch in in cinema right now because we want to make use of our intimidate So the next turn when they switch toga kiss out A glass rare, which you're I'm assuming they will do um Is when we can get our intimidate Uh onto the glass rare because that's what we're kind of waiting on it for Um, so I don't know if I want to max yet. I kind of want to hold off maxing Um, do they have anything they can switch in? It's got an electrical resist literally nothing No electrical resist, which is nuts. I think it's so nuts like in this format alone You've got reggie alecky, which is crazy strong and very popular. You've got also All the the g you've got thunderous. You've got zaptos You've got all the rautums like flavor of the week at the minute And you need to have some sort of electric community in your team. I really like like that's what I would advise um Yeah, we'll go for the the thunder bolt there And I'm just actually going to go for a taunt as well into the desklops So it's I can stop it going for pain split. I can stop it going for All sorts of annoying moves like ally switching things like that. So we're going to see it double up here Yeah into the rautum. That's fine. And probably it doesn't gleam as well. Yeah, it's also fine It'll proc a citrus barrier on our rautum But we should get rid of the toga kiss now That's a very slow toga kiss Very very slow Now the glass tray is going to come in a hundred percent The other option there would have been maybe to double into the desklops the hydropump Okay Right. Well, we need to go after the glass tray. I think we go for a max geyser into that slot and we will Bring in It's just a nightshade a nightshade and uh, yeah, I think what we'll do is well Max max guard Do we want a max it's all I think we have to max I'm just wondering a night is a nightshade in whatever the glass. Well, they they can't they have to literally Yeah, we'll go for max guys. If they nightshade, they're not propping their weakness policy. So that's the option they've got I think if they They'll only be on plus one as well. So I'm hoping all they've really got to hit us with kind of at all Is is the max knuckle which is reduced in power anyway So I think we'll see probably a rock throw Glastria gonna max The nice thing as well is that you can't go really max quake or they could but a kind of risky against both a levitating and A flying attacker to get kind of get that special defense boost. That's what I'm kind of referring to here I wonder if they're best players just a nightshade and just attack max knuckle and nightshades maybe into Rotom Yeah, okay, we should take even a nightshade. Yeah, we've got way more health than what I was actually expecting Yeah, so there's a nightshade And yeah, there's a max knuckle Yeah, okay That's fine. I mean they put themselves back up to neutral Be interesting to see how much damage this does because the guys are probably puts them in range For the next turn to go down Wow, that does like literally nothing. We're plus two. It's a salt vest glastria Geez that is absolutely nuts Now I think we have to max god here for the fact that we're gonna Or are they just gonna Are they gonna go after the incinerole? Maybe Maybe they go after the incinerole here And they're not really you're not really too worried about the Rotom at this point I think we'll go we'll bring the thunderous in for sure And then we can at least cycle intimately back onto the field And if they go for the max quick, then that's just a bonus We'll see the nightshade come out. It's going to be into thunderous this time. Okay. We're going to take Yeah, there's a max quick. That's a perfect for us. Okay While they went after the Rotom actually thinking we may be going to switch Now this should do a lot more damage That's still not enough like nowhere near enough It's absolutely nuts Um, how many turns of trick room have we got left? We need to really okay. We've got one turn of trick room left We can max guard And I think what we'll do is we'll drop a taunt onto Yeah, we'll drop a taunt onto the dust globs here so we can't protect with tornadoes so it's worth It's worth stopping that trick room before it's even an option for my opponent after this next turn So there's the taunt The nightshade coming out into Rotom this time are they doubling the Rotom that'd be hilarious if they do They have Okay, well Now we're in an absolutely phenomenal spot where we can just go for Uh, double into the glastria if we want or we can double into I think we double into the The dust globs, you know Just air slash and hydro pump Glastria could protect here. I don't think it will but I mean if it's a salt vest It can't but I would really like to just get rid of this dust globs Or at least get enough damage onto it where we can pick up the knockout with something else that can come in Like mama swine after this. Okay. Well, we get rid of it there plus two. That's enough It's more normal damage from a plus two Rotom And the smart strike coming in Okay, that'll pick up the knockout onto thunderous But we are going to be able to get incinero back onto the field. It is going to get the chilling there boost But we'll be able to put it back down to minus one. I think with the incinero now So again, I feel like Rotom is really shining in this in this sort of environment, you know Against these teams. It's not the easiest, of course Um, but it does do an incredible job. So he tried coming in perfect. I mean, we also have We also have mama swine in the back. So I think what we'll do is just thunderbolt Oh, it's thunderbolt going to be enough to get the glastria from this ranger. I don't think it will, you know Um, hydro pump will definitely get the heatran and we'll just fake out We'll fake out the glastria each hand. Okay protecting It's fine. So they're gonna burn the fake out will get a little bit of chip onto this glastria and Yeah, the hydro pump into that protect there on the the heatran The rain stops which is perfect because now we can just flare blitz The glastria and we can go for the hydro pump into the heatran And we know the heatran's got an air balloon. So it hasn't got any boosting items So there's not really much chance of it knocking out the incinero Even if it does add speed the Rotom with something like earth power So we're gonna be fine. I think the flare blitz will pick up the glastria and The hydro pump as long as it hits will get the heatran for sure and that should lock up Second game for us friends. Here we go Hydro pump hits. So my Rotom is doing really well. It's got its goggles on today for sure And that's a heatran dealt with heatran and I love like incredible poker. I love heatran so much we will be making a heatran team for sure and Probably playing it on stream because I just love heatran Love heatran like landerists like all the poker one that everyone like complains about because they're so centralizing But I do really genuinely love them. So we will be making a team around that at some point But very good game to my opponent and a nice another like little showcase of the team there So we'll hop over now and get the rental team for you guys Right friends and here is the rental code for the team that we featured today We've got the tornadoes the rilla boom incinero mama swine rotom and the reggie drago So I do hope if you try the team out you have a lot of fun with it If you do let me know down in the comment section and what you thoughts are on the team and what your thoughts are on reggie drago I'm very interested in that. I do like it as a pokemon, but the coverage really really Kind of handicaps it in this format. It feels very hard and especially as I've said already things like tapu finny Make it extremely difficult to bring in that last game We just couldn't even consider bringing it with the two fairies there But I think in some circumstances. It's a very good pokemon and like I say, it's a good late game pokemon where you can create a wind condition and Also a good a good pokemon to lead with sometimes just to kind of do big damage and make way for something Like rotom on mama swine or even rilla boom to come in in the late game and just kind of take advantage of that early damage that you're able to get with reggie drago, but That wraps it up friends.
