 Hi everyone, I hope you're all well. Thank you so much for tuning in to another episode of our Pokemon VGC battle series We are here. It is Friday and we are finally seeing a big farewell to this x-ray team that we kicked off with a couple of weeks ago On the channel. It's been incredible playing with this team I've had a lot of fun and I really hope you guys have as well So just to recap before we jump into it and say a fun farewell to it all We've got the mega requiser the zernius the landerists the finny the incinero and Serena and as always the team is down in the description below There's a poker paste and a raw paste for you guys to check out take away use and do with what you want And if you do use it try it out. Let me know what you think of it But without further ado, let's get into today's episode as always if you enjoy the sort of content guys Do remember to drop a like on the video Do subscribe to the channel for more pokemon content and make sure to leave your comments down below in the comments section Because I love nothing more than hearing from you all so it'd be lovely if we can get above 1700 by the end of this episode and it really would let's go lead for to kick off today We're on a record of 17 and 4 losses with the team But we need to get back into the screen so you guys can actually so you guys can actually see it So there we go We've not done too bad so you play 21 games so far going into today's episode of the last couple of weeks and 17 wins Like I say four losses. It's not too bad Hopefully we can turn that into 19 wins and four losses and that would be amazing that should push us over 1700 going into next week getting ready for that brand new team that we're gonna be kicking off with on Monday So don't miss Monday's episode because it will be full of a fun Pokemon of course and it might take a little while to find a first opponent so if it does guys I'll I'll just cut this and we'll come straight back to when we get into our first game And we've got a first opponent of the episode Japan youth player rated 1481 and will hop straight into team preview So my first opponent today is running a team of incinero Zonius, Smiggle, Tapulele, Groudon and Salamence So it is that a Zonius Groudon call a very common call We're gonna see but paired with a tapulele in this variant and we've got the smiggle is well there to disrupt and cause all sorts of shenanigans on outside of the field. I think one of the things we could potentially do here is Try a cheeky setup with Zonius I really do like the idea of doing that although the tapulele is probably scarfed and it makes it very difficult to be able to do that Which kind of leads me back to just going incinero and tapu fini as a lead here because it's quite Solid and then having options in the back to bring in. I think we definitely need zonius here and then the rear quasi as well and Yeah, the terrain for ourselves is is really important one of the things we could potentially do is actually lead off with zonius and Incinero and have a fini in the back just to counteract the psychic terrain because they might not lead with the Lele and they might just switch the Lele in to try and disrupt our Board position and put ourselves to sleep. So that's something we've got to be aware of as well So I'm gonna do that. We'll lock in and we'll go into this first game So good luck to my opponent, and I hope you guys at home enjoy this episode So I'll get into it now Wow Let's see what my opponent's gonna bring out. I'm scared of the smiggle though For sure. We need to make sure that we're keeping terrain control without it It the psychic trains really disrupt it for this sort of team So we've seen like in a episode yesterday with the a salgo took down our fanny before we could even do anything I'll disrupt the terrain after they got it set up. Yeah, we're gonna see the smiggle and The zonius lead for my opponent Do they just fake out the incineroar? I mean if they do that well, they could fake out the incineroar and just put our zonius to sleep Which would be terrible like it one thing we could potentially do is just fake out fake out the zonius and switch out Oh switch out This is a problem. This is a problem if we if we switch out incineroar We get faked out and then they set their their geometry up Which is not great if we stay in and fake out the zonius and then bring in our tapu finny We get our terrain up, but then the following turn they get the tapu lele and they put something to sleep They're gonna try it though. Oh, we could have switched that incineroar out for the finny Went for it. Never mind. Never mind. It's all right. It's all right It's okay We'll see the lele switch straight back out. We've got to try and get some damage onto this We've got to switch our finny out as well straight away. I think that's the big thing here So we'll get some nice damage. This is spore Interesting that it's gone for a spore. There's a moody boost special defense and Speed fell speed falling. That's that's what we like to see Right, I think what we'll do is get a tapu finny the heck out of here. We will Do we just go for a snarl because if the the zonius comes back in Be nice to catch it with a snarl to kind of reduce its damage output And we'll get our zonius back onto the field. So maybe we're going to withdraw. We're gonna see the zonius come out for my opponent Wonder if we see moon blast into our incineroar Or if it's interzernius Maybe maybe chase down the finny as a side shock. Okay, that's not the best Really it isn't It's not the worst either We get the snarl off, which is the nice thing because now we can get the geomancy up Quite comfortably here After the snarl anyway, we can just sit on the field and go for another snarl if we like The problem is doing that We're likely to have the ground on coming and then just want the incineroar on the back in case that does happen So we've at least got the intubi there to bring in once again And I think I might bring in Rayquaza here. So let's see what my opponent decides to do I think they probably want to maybe try and get the lele up, but Who knows? Okay, there's a geomancy from the poison zonius Could be worth just getting out tappi finny and in John Icy Wind he'll pull support to be honest Because we're gonna see a side shock here We will take a decent amount of damage from the side shock unfortunately But we should take less damage than the turn before So let's see. Let's see There's a side shock once again Okay, that's fine Hopefully we can take a plus one moon blast from this range. I'm kind of hoping we do All right, we'll get finny in finny mckinny Because if we can take a plus one moon blast from this range Then we can get a heal pulse off into azonius and it puts us in such a good position going into the rest of this game I think i'm gonna do that And just dazzle because we'll get the lele before I can attack It's just about taking a moon blast from the opposing zonius And you've got to remember that we have got to snarl off onto it Lele gonna switch out. I'm gonna see the smegel come in. Okay All right, that's fine moon blast. Yep, we'll be into azonius. Can we take it? That's a question We take it like a champ. There we go. Smegel be down to its set. Oh, no slash smegel That's really good for us. Then we get this heal pulse off Which is the biggest thing because that's what we're kind of banking on And now I think the groudon probably comes onto the field But if we can get one more dazzling gleam into that that zonius, then it's in range for our Requires that to to pick up the knockout with an extreme speed It's just about preserving our finny at this point. Yeah, so the lele comes in Gets a psychic terrain up Kind of tempted just to go for another But yeah, well just heal pulse again because they can't take us down Unless they got side shock No, just moon blast. We'll take this though. We've got more health than last time Yeah Ah, we got this special attack drop which is not ideal at all. Is it enough to get the lele? It is just about It's not ideal not ideal. Okay, but we get the lele so that's good. Now we have to think about Getting rid of this terrain because the zonius now should be in range Like I say for that extreme speed to take it down And if not, we've got a sash anyway, so that's fine. And then there's the men's, okay A monster men's Yeah, now we just moonblast He'll pulse again Um, yeah, I mean it's pretty much done now, isn't it? Because they just can't they can't take us down and we like it even a plus one dazzling gleam is going to get this men's Men's protects There's another moon blast. I mean they're hoping for another drop. I think But they don't get it There's the other heal pulse Yeah, and we're just in too strong a position now. I think um What we could do is just switch out to incinero at this point So we've got our terrain for later in the game and then just dazzling gleam once again Then we get an intimidate onto the men's which is always very useful Um I think the only thing that could go wrong here is another special attack drop from the opposing zonius onto our zonius And that means we wouldn't get the men's then and it does open the door for that to take us down But we get the zonius in the meantime. It would just be then we'd have to have A little one-on-one with the men's late game. So here we go moonblast Yeah, we take that there's the drop and I think the men's will survive this now because we're just Neutral should take the zonius down Yeah, there's the zonius the the men's surviving like I say that's kind of the worst-case scenario for us here There's a hyper voice. We maybe take this with zonius Now we do yeah, and then yeah, that's enough for us to close up shop really Um, we probably see the forfeit come out here. I think because there's not really a lot my opponent can do We'll just switch into ray And go for that moonblast And very good game to my opponent There we go. So yes excellent way for us to kick off today guys, but very good game to my opponent and um Go straight into our next one. So just hop over to our main screen And uh, we'll be post haste getting into this last one I am really sad to see this team go. I've had such a lot of fun playing it. It's been amazing Featuring it and I just really do hope that you guys have enjoyed it Um, all of the last two weeks It's been incredible I think to end it off today because I love this team so much We'll go ultra necrosma version two and if you get one more win against josh from the united states Our next opponent will be over 1700 which would be excellent. So we'll jump into team preview I'm going up against josh. He's got a great team. He's got a groudon and uvelto salamence Incinero, bronzon and that tapu finny So a really nice call here between groudon uvelto call the eye Absolutely love and maybe maybe featuring next week on the channel. Who knows? Um, but yeah going into this You've got the tailwind support potentially from the uvelto the salamence there the trick room support from the bronzon To support probably the groudon here the intimidate support Fake out support from the incinero and then the terrain support from the tapu finny. That's probably got heal pulse Potentially swagger Here's potentially yet to shut down zonius because it is a big threat to to this team in general. Um Okay, what are we going to do? I can say zonius is really good here. Um One of the things we could potentially do is lead incinero. Could this be one where we bring serena? Yeah It's very difficult with salamence d-velto Incinero and groudon it is very difficult. Um, I think one of the things we could potentially do is bring finny and zonius as a lead um And then requiser and incinero Yeah, let's go with that. I do like landeris here, but I don't know if it's the right call So we'll get into it Good luck josh, and uh, hopefully guys this is the the one that we're going to have to send us off with in a bang today. So Let's see if we can do it Whoo It's been a good run with the team though. I have loved it. It's um, it surprised me I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I have done So we're going to see you velto and the bronzon come out from my opponent Okay, I wonder if we just see a trick room from the bronzon set up That wouldn't be ideal Nope, it wouldn't um One of the things we could do is switch into incinero and go for Hmm I don't really want to reveal the skull just yet. That's the thing And I'm kind of tempted to try and get a gemancy up with with zonius to be honest Or just even a moon blast onto the evelto Probably switches out I'm going to go moon blast into the evelto and I'm going to switch in incinero for type of finny I feel like you switched the evelto out though. Maybe you do. Maybe you don't um We'll see And the ground arms coming in That's all right. I mean, it's not the worst thing in the world We've got the fake out the next turn we can get the finny in We've intimidated it as well And one of the things we can do Is try and utilize The scald airlock that we've got access to with this type of finny So at least we're going to get some damage onto the ground on as well, which is always nice You might not even see a trick room here, you know, I just see it in a gyro ball into the the zonius It's more reason for why I'm kind of bringing the intimidate here Just to dampen the effect of that if that is the case, but it's more likely than not that we're going to see Yeah, it doesn't do bad damage at all. There's a trick room Okay, now this turn we need to 100% Fake out get a tapu finny in And just fake out the ground on And I wonder what we're going to see the bronze on do there's a gravity Or does it switch out and it switches out what we're going to see come in in scenario Oh, that's tricky. That is tricky Hmm, I mean we can try and go for it the scald And the requiser in I think we'll get faked out though And the ground on will just attack Just precipice blades probably But we'll see we may be able to get it off, you know, the internal might not go for the fake out Like the ground is not really in too much trouble here At all Um, the one thing you probably want to do is Maybe or maybe you do scout the scald on the finny. So maybe you do fake it out That's like one of the things but I've got to try don't really have too many options in the back to do anything else As a fake out Great not good sword stance. Oh, not good Not good. Not good. Not good. Hmm Okay, how many turns we've got left to You can get an intimidate onto this ground on once again. Yeah, I think we do that It's just sacking the Incineroar which I'm not massively keen on doing to be honest Um, but let's do this and let's may revolve and sword stance Yeah And then the next turn we can store like the last turn of trick room by going for A protect if we need to incineroar sticks around somehow precipice blades might miss um Then You never know But it's a decent time for us to try and get the sword stance up really darkest lariat into the Hooray There we go fire punch. Oh Oh, we could have got the scald off with our finny. We could have just done it Fortunate at least we get incineroar stick around for another day. Let's get finny in But do we get finny in do we just target down the ground on like fake out the ground on now? And then go for the incineroar with a dragon ascent I think that's the best play the the incineroar go down then And then if the ground on well, it has to protect the next turn But if it if it does protect then it means Incineroar and requires that can take down the bronzon before can set up another trick room. So we've got that We should take another darkest lariat There is it that point now i'm thinking the incineroar was oh, no, it's gonna actually switch out. Okay, bronzon coming in I don't mind this really at all because Ground on switching out as well you've all took coming in. Hmm Now this bronzon is going to be in range of a flablet for sure From irons in a row The only thing I can think that would be a little bit detrimental to us would be potential sucker punch from evelto um I'm just going to flablet the bronzon and i'm just going to protect here because I think It'll scout out the sucker punch We don't need to worry about the bronzon doing anything here because whatever happens We take it down with a flablet Even minus one. I think from this range. It's probably heat proof though. So maybe maybe not. Maybe you need the intimidate Oh, which wouldn't be ideal But we still got full pokemon we can still maneuver around this it's not going to be the worst So the only reason I can think you bring the evelto in there though is a sucker punch Okay, bronzon i'm going to withdraw that means we've got no more That's a little bit awkward because now we can't We can't Get around this next turn because of the fake out but it's It's not the end of the world Good safe switch ins to like finny in the back, which is why and I'd rather preserve. There's the sucker punch. There you are Okay Yeah, we're just gonna see um right let's you turn out on the incineroar and switch requires that into Into the velt and to zernius into zernius because now we can get a geomancy up 100% That bronzon if it comes in we've got a geomancy up then it still goes down So if my pony keeps both of their pokemon on the field right now Then we should be fine to close this one up I think zernius can be the thing it cuts through what we needed to on they pause inside of the field. There's the fake out Yep Living wing. Yep. Yeah, I don't know what my opponent does now unless they've got raw on incineroar, which I don't expect them to have because now We can just heal pulse geomancy and we're we're really kind of good to go. Um, yeah, just heal pulse and geo Leave out tools obviously got snarl, which is going to be something that's going to weaken us for sure But they I think my opponent has to try and adjust their board position here unless they stand and just double into the zernius Which they might might do I don't know Don't know what they're gonna do Get the geomancy before anything else, which is really really good. I'm just having a pause of silence I'm sorry guys. You're just watching this and it's just like silence I'm just like I've played a lot of pokemon today a lot of pokemon But it's all been really enjoyable and I'm getting a bit tired now, but it's all good So we get the geomancy as a foul play And I see a last ditch attempt to get rid of it. I think it's a bit of a mistake staying in unless we see a u-turn And there's a heal pulse And no snarl either makes it even more difficult. There's a u-turn. Okay So there is it's into the finny a ground on I reckon Has to be the ground on it is a ground on Okay But I mean we've got the requiser to bring in as well now So we could just bring in the ray Or we could bring in the incineroar I think incineroar was better And then moon blast Bevel tool Yeah, yeah, we've got ways to deal with that ground on we don't really care about that much It's just if you've got sword stance here that makes it a little bit more tricky But if we can deny the trick room then we know finny requiser can deal with it pretty well So we've got that to fall back on So the intimidate will help us take a fire punch or whatever from the ground on Isn't mean less. This should be enough to get the evel tool We do open the door for the the inside to come back in My chronic side of the field Oh, it is going for that sword stance Okay, I mean it's still all right. I'm still not too worried Because could we switch out incineroar now into requiser protect zernius And then the next turn we just moon blasts. Yeah, I think that's not a bad idea. I think you've got to to You've got to fake out the zernius here I feel like you do impressive as blades Okay, we get the the ray back in Is it protect or we're gonna say fake out precipice blades Fake out. Yep Yeah I honestly think it dazzle and A dragon ascent is probably enough Um One thing we could probably do to just no, I don't think we sword stance here. I think we just go for I would moon blast I'm not really worried about the incineroar because it's not taking either target down right now So we can just concentrate down on this ground on and it might switch out No, it does protect. I've got to mean we get it the next thing and once ground on's gone We should be able to close this one up Incineroar gonna do though Because they move into the requiser it's still all right. Okay, I'm gonna see the bronzon come in now Tearing up here Okay Tearing our attention away Hmm, we've got to moon blast the bronzon Yeah, I think we have to dazzle Hmm, we could protect switching incineroar Just feel like now. We just do the same again We just go for the ground on and moon blast if the incineroar comes in. It's not plus two anymore. This Goes for it. Yeah, you're not gonna get it We're gonna be able to get the ground on and like I say once the ground on's gone There's really no threat anymore Goes for the double protect tries and please it didn't get it Ah, here we go big boy ray slam dunk once again Still not over though. The trick room probably goes up now But I mean we've got enough I think to kind of close this one. Huh, it's trick room. Is it z trick room? Is it shout psyche? I'm like z trick room, isn't it? No bronzon carries zen head, but there we go it's gonna start Going for the shenanigans with hypnosis. Definitely now. We'll just switch ray out into finny um Get around the fake out and then we should be able to close this one up pretty pretty pretty quickly See like I say we just want the finny in just for the terrain support Because it's likely to start going for hypnosis now Especially with that plus one boost to its accuracy that you get from the z trick room after setting it up We'll just get finny in finny can deal with incinero anyway We've got scald there. I don't know if a gyro ball will take down zernius One of the things we could potentially do is switching incinero the next turn if we want to keep zernius around Yeah, there's a hypnosis Um Switching incinero just to get the intimidate and then we've got something to pressure the bronzon And we can just go for a moon blast into the incinero And hopefully zernius is able to take a combination of attacks from both Both targets There was a side of the field. I think you might be able to after the intimidate. This is a pretty bulky zernius anyway So I feel like we can probably do that as a gyro ball Oh, yeah, we're gonna take a flare blitz no problem No problemo Yeah, and then the moon blast takes that down And then we protect and flare blitz into the bronzon and that is a pretty Pretty perfect game If I do not say so myself And what a great way for us to end up the series With this team on the channel. I honestly couldn't have asked for anything better To have like how it went with the team. It's been amazing. I really do hope you guys have enjoyed it Leave your comments down in this comment section below.
