 Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our VGC 2019 battle series My name is Lee Osiris and we are going to continue on today with this team that you can see on your screen right in front of you As always the team is down in the description below There is a raw paste and a poker paste Check out the details and try the team out if you would like to we had a couple of really good games to kick us off And yesterday's episode if you'd like to check that out and you can click up here I'll link a little card the little I icon click on that and it will take you over to yesterday's episode You can see how we started off the week and very good episode We've got to feature the majority of the team yesterday all terrier had a really good game in the second game yesterday So hopefully we can continue that on today some shenanigans with chaninja We're joyful to end up with yesterday, of course and but just to recap the team for you guys We've got the old terrier it is the mega of the team the right you lander is theory And it's got the Z move there the misty seed on the Valtul the ultra necrosis Matt and a taboo Finney So without further ado music is on Let's click in hopefully it doesn't take too long to find our first opponent of the day and Like I mentioned in our last episode what we're doing this week It's just a little trial with myself to see how well I can manage Content of this quantity on the channel at the minute. So we're doing a roulette series, which is a Running in the morning every morning now at the moment 7 a.m. And we're doing this at 7 p.m. Every day Monday to Friday So I hope it's a nice mix for you You got the fun in the morning and serious in the the evening So and we're mixing up with different teams and stuff like that But like I said, it's just a trial to see how I can manage things we might not keep this up But it's nice just to touch base now and again with some competitive content that we have now done the channel for a while But we've got a first opponent Marcos are and we'll hop into team preview Okay, so first opponent today is running a team of Kyogre Kingdra herself trrrr toga tomorrow ho and the Stoutland man this guy is is playing the roulette game. I feel okay. What are we gonna do? We've got the rain. It's gonna be an issue. I'll tear are gonna be really good here I think it felt so gonna be good as well With the right you of course for that fast fake out Do we want alternate cross man? Maybe not? I think I'll go with the four that we went with yesterday all terrier the tapu finny Evelton right you and I think we've gotten out with tapu finny against hot or now with this gold there So it makes it a bit easier to deal with Evelton gonna be the main main piece of the puzzle in this one So I think if we can support that well enough, it's gonna be it's gonna do a decent and really decent job So let's click in and get this one underway Yeah interesting team from my opponent and I've been seeing and I don't know if it's just law a lot of stuff I've been seeing quite a bit of hot or recently and Paired with with different combinations and hot or still can do a lot of work in the Oxford series I think it's one of those Pokemon. It's maybe a little bit underexplored and one of those Pokemon That maybe a lot of players have looked past a little bit too much and because Obviously the the mega requires a primal cargo and primal ground on coming into play, but Yeah, I still think it can do a really good job. So we're seeing the Kingdra and the Kyogre come out from my opponent We've got the fake out we can go for here I think one thing we could potentially do is just switch into type of finny make sure that we get that misty seed boost with our Evelton Go tailwind and then we can we can heal pulse the next turn And start snarling it's just about getting this speed control early on that makes a big difference I don't want to keep right you in here. We can fake at one toggle, but the other one's going to damage us heavily anyway And Evelton will take a lot of damage in the process whereas if you get the misty seed activated I think we can comfortably take a water spout and Another water attack from the Kingdra unless it is The Ward of Zemo which may be a bit of an issue to take but We'll see how this plays out. I don't know what my opponent's going for here We do get the misty seed boost as we switch in our type of finny and get that misty terrain onto the field The Kingdra just going to protect this first turn to get around potentially that fake out as we see the Kyogre Just double protect so we get a free tailwind up here, which is perfect And that's one of the things I think when you're playing against certain Teams and this fake out pressure there don't give them the opportunity to to set up and have a free turn like that That's a big important lesson. I think we'll just go for a snarl and Yeah I see wind I guess we've not really got too much else we can do. I mean we can scald Could we get the uh, just yeah, well, I see wind. Well, I see wind just in case something comes in just to keep the pressure on But it's a shame that we haven't got nature's madness. It's maybe something that I would definitely consider on tap with finny over his but It's just we don't really have a good way to hit um other pokemon That are uh, they're war types. There's the z move It's gonna be I don't understand why you switch the rain out when you want to use the z move I think you need to keep the kyogre on the field if you want to utilize that Obviously, you've got the rain boost as well So you're faster than everything still you want to maximize this damage It's your big centerpiece attack that you can utilize You need to be taking advantage of that and keeping the rain up to boost that it's just it makes it so much stronger Whereas just not having the rain up really really hinders your ability to do A lot of damage, which is just a little bit of a shame We do pop that air balloon that's on the toga tomorrow and get a nice wind off Of course, unless a lot of things down just a little bit more So when that if these pokemon are out when the tailwind ends then it means we've still got the speed advantage I need to worry about the toga tomorrow. Of course going into this next turn. I'm gonna just protect the bell Um, actually, I'm not We could get faked out if you get faked out. That's fine. Um, and I'm gonna bring in raichu for Tapa finny it means that we've got fake out pressure the next turn And it also takes away any risk from that toga tomorrow thrown out an electric type attack onto evelto Which it's likely wanting to do Um, potentially after a fake out, of course, so there's the fake out into evelto We could have protected there of course muddy water coming out from kingdra Uh, the snarl will be helping with this, of course Uh, raichu not really able to do very much going into this next turn because Um, the lightning rod on the opposing toga tomorrow Uh, we'll go for another snarl and we will just fake out the kingdra Not too worried about the toga tomorrow at this point. Uh, the evelto Need to be a little bit careful. I think going forward. We are gonna see the whole actually hit the field Okay um But we've got foul play that we can utilize spiky shield just coming out from the toga tomorrow Uh, we can lock we can lock toga tomorrow into that this next turn if we'd like to with them With on the core Course it avoids It doesn't really matter too much. Uh, we'll go for that foul play into the whole I mean, we could go for another tailwind, but I do Expect my opponent to maybe sit the tailwind As well We need to be a little bit careful at this point as well. Um, Because the the whole all counts up there on tailwind, which could put them in a Better position going into the next turn But I don't think we're gonna be okay. That's a nice damage. There's a tailwind. Yeah from the whole I don't know if we go down to a brave bird this next turn or whether or not the whole all wants to potentially Um Recover a rooster or whatever. Uh, we'll try and match the tailwind, of course Um, and I I do expect the toga tomorrow to switch out here So I'm gonna go for a vault switch into the whole all now And make a bit of a prediction saying that the toga tomorrow wants to switch. Oh, no, it's just staying in Okay, that's fine If we can match there's a sacred fire. Where's it going? It's into the right she It will take us down, but we're going to match the tailwind now and the toga tomorrow is not too much of an issue um, especially with um It locked into spiky shield It's all about getting the the altering now, maybe All right, we can flamethrower. Yeah, we can flamethrower the toga tomorrow file play the whole I think the kyogre again is going to be a difficult pokemon for us to deal with in the late game Um, we'll file play ho-ho and we'll go for mega valve and the flamethrower But I mean if it were safe, we're able to get rid of both of these pokemon right now Um, we've got parasong that we can we can totally nuke the the last two pokemon with Um, if we've got the the number advantage, that's the big thing having that that number's advantage going into the the next turn So do the spiky shield fear feels Of course he gets it. Of course he gets it. It's so frustrating And we'll get the file play into the ho-ho I don't know if it's gonna be enough Oh, so close Um We take it take it Hopefully the uncor doesn't end now that'll be Yeah, the uncor doesn't end. It's likely gonna be the fastest thing on the field now Um Let's protect evelto Let's go for a hyper voice. The hyper voice should be enough to get the ho-ho from this range I'm kind of hoping it is It's just we need to stall out their tailwind and then wait with we've still got then our tailwind up um Wouldn't be good if we missed the kill on ho-ho our ho-ho protects Okay, so we could have actually went for the flint right into the toga tomorrow there The toga tomorrow doing nuzzle. Okay, that's fine Okay, that tailwind pinners out um The problem is like we'll get the I don't think we're gonna be able to get the toga tomorrow here because I think it just protects Oh, it doesn't okay. Well our tailwind is still in effect So we get the ho-ho and we'll get the toga tomorrow now with this this flamethrower should be enough to get the the toga tomorrow Yeah, okay, that's good It's still gonna be a little bit tricky because our tailwind pitters out. Um, the kyogre is going to be awkward to deal with Uh, we need to get rid of The kingdra, but I mean the same time what we can do is go for that perish song Um, and we could switch into tapu fini here just taking a water spout, which is the big thing Um, can ulterior take Do we switch into tapu fini? I mean with full health with tapu fini So it's probably not a bad idea to do that in perish song. Yeah, we'll do that And I think this will win us the game so hopefully ulterior can take a combination of Water spout and muddy water if that's the probably all ice being muddy water And kingdra protecting that's even better for us because that gives us the win I think now Uh, kyogre icy wind nice nice, okay. Um, yeah, but that's the game now. I think like we'll be able to stall out It's perish song switching around protecting it's gonna be easy enough to do from from this point out So perish song and it is a fairy type Parish song as well, which is very nice. Um, so yeah Count to three for each one some perish action in today's episode to kick us off, which is very exciting We'll go for An icy wind ourselves And we'll just we'll just protect ulterior. We might see a forfeit might not my opponent might try to play it out They might believe that they can they can get around What we're doing and they might possibly be able to Find some muddy water From the kingdra I wonder what set this kyogre's running. It's got thunder. It could be a bit of an issue, but I mean Yeah, I think goes for it Hopefully this doesn't take us down. It shouldn't and just poke a berry man Man o man. Um, yeah, so this next turn. I think we just switch into valto But Excellent excellent stuff. Isn't it so good? Um, yeah, we'll switch Into we'll go for the icy wind again. We'll switch into you valto And then I'll take it down to one count. We'll bring ulterior back in protect and that's game for us And we'll get rid of that perish on ulterior and this is the like this is yeah We're able to do this so it doesn't really matter if if the muddy water and the thunder hits here Ulterior comes back in and the protect wins us the game And maybe without the perish song, I don't know if we would have been able to do it I mean we probably would have to be honest because a hyper voice would get the king And then we're gonna have you valto Ulterior Tapping finny with with heal pulse still sitting on the field able to heal pulse ulterior. So Either way we might have been able to do it. This is just Makes it a bit more Easier to do doesn't it so we'll bring in ulterior Get back on the field and we'll press that lovely protect button and lock this one up from here on out So there we go, and that is going to be game one nice win for us today Very good. Uh, but again ulterior doing some nice work. Um against a bit of an unconventional team Um, but nice to see the variation as well really nice team built from my opponent My opponent's still going all out fair play to them trying to get rid of this This ulterior before the perish song takes both their pokemon down So if the perish song count go down to zero and the king go down first and this full health kayaka go down It's the easiest way to take down a full health kayaka. There you go pro tip Heavy rain lifting and ulterior again Second game in a row sitting sitting strong on the field ready to go. So Excellent excellent victory for the team and we will move on to our next Match and hopefully it doesn't take too long to find the next opponent But um, I hope you're enjoying the team. Uh, everyone out there watching. Um, it it is fun I don't know if it's as polished as it could be But this is why we do the testing process. Obviously, uh games will be getting harder as we move further up the ladder um, but that's that's part and parcel of Of pokemon, uh, you want things to be getting harder as you're going along So you can test it against the more difficult teams in the format and uh, hopefully we do Continue to bump into them and uh, put the team through its paces And then we can identify areas where improvement is need to be made. Um, because that's a big thing Obviously identifying where your team is weak against so you don't run into issues when you're in a tournament You do all your issue resolving when you're when you're practicing on battle spot And it's good to just be able to identify Exactly where a team may be going wrong, you know where things aren't working quite well is where you thought they might be working Um, now ulterior we're not going to get carried away with it It's done really well in the last two games, but i'm still not massively convinced by it I still think uh hyper voices are maybe a little bit underwhelming Maybe we want to look at that ev spread see if we can get a bit more damage out of it Because there's been times where things are hanging on by a sliver and if we've been able to knock those out Then that would have made the difference. So if we can we can Move that ev spread a little bit that could be the thing that changes it for us But we've got our next opponent. So let's get into it. I believe we've played this opponent I don't know with this team or if we played them on the roulette series, but we've definitely played them This week, but let's get into it. Anyway So our next opponent is running eval to groudon Gengar, persian, nai ligo and tapu finny. Yeah, I think we've played these guys on the roulette series I don't know if the battle has happened yet this week or not, but um, I'm pretty sure we have or might have been with this team I'm just so confused played so much pokemon today recording. So Who knows what it is doing? And we've got the eval to the groudon Uh, potentially eval to has got the z move there Setting a tailwind for the rest of the team the persian obviously going to be the the fake out pokemon nai ligo Are going to be something we need to be very careful of um I think it might have been I'm not too sure, but what i'm going to do is bring Hmm Bring eval to We need something to deal with the tapu finny for sure I'm going to bring raichu to this match. Um, I'm going to bring ultron across my and I think Do we want to bring groudon as well? Relying them to bring tapu finny to activate our misty seed Hmm Um, it's all about getting our tail wind up. That's the big thing for us. I think in this in this match Um Is landeris going to be the one to bring in because landeris would be pretty good against the majority of this team to be honest Um, so sacrifice and finny isn't the worst thing in the world So let's get into it and uh, good luck to my opponent And hopefully we can uh, we can continue this this this winning streak we're on We're on three and zero at the minute, so four and zero would be amazing if we can finish off the week flawless I'll be a happy man, and I'm sure you'll be happy happy viewers as well. So we'll lead off with eval to and raichu Um, I'll see my opponent eat off nigh lego tapu finny. So yeah, there's the misty terrain boost that we we were all looking for excellent Yeah, we do we do like this appreciate it Um, yeah, we tail wind fake out nigh lego turn worn. I think What the tapu finny does probably I see wind potentially um Yeah tail wind needs be control um And if the nigh lego does decide to go for a protect here then we can lock it in with on call the next turn It's not going to do that of course. Uh, the misty terrain is actually protecting everything at the minute and Oh here's Don't mind that too much. I mean it does get rid of our um special defensive boost and could protect eval toe and just fault switch into The finny and I think we'll try and get duskman across more onto the field. Um Well that special defensive boost gone does make it a bit more difficult We'll get some nice damage onto the finny though. That's the big thing Really nice damage critical hit huge huge damage for us So right you pulling in the work there and yeah get duskman in Uh, we've got the tail wind up. So even if a nice wind comes out now, it's not the worst thing in the world See what this nigh lego does. Oh, it's going for the z move. So good job. We protected here. Um I mean we'll be able to take it a little bit more comfortably going into this next turn We know it's not sashed as well, which is a a nice big plus for us here Um, and then I think the next turn we concentrate down more on the type of finny Because the nigh lego is so pressured with duskman coming in and it's more likely to protect rather than attacking into eval toe So, um, that was a crit as well. Man, velto is a big beast. Uh, okay, your pulse You know, but it's not really going to protect it from a sunstill strike And so yeah, we'll get rid of this finny um It's a sunstill strike gonna be enough to get it from here. I would imagine so. Yeah, uh, we'll go for a I probably want to keep you velto around to be honest. I'm bringing landeris We've got a nice Cover for that there and I'll go for the sunstill strike into the tap of finny With ultra necrosma. We will ultra burst Uh get landeris onto the field And once we get rid of the finny things get a bit easier for us for sure Um, I wonder if the nigh lego does protect. I'd imagine it does It's got to feel so pressured here and you probably want to try and get a nice wind off with the tap of finny We're not going to see it protect, but as long as you get rid of the finny, that's the big thing. That's the main thing here Yeah, so you get rid of that issue Substitute oh tasty Then you velto. Okay, that makes sense It's a lot of sense Um, I'm gonna earthquake And I'm gonna protect I think Oh, do we do that? I don't know. I feel like you might see the nigh lego protect here. I'm gonna protect the landeris and We're switching you velto The problem is I see my opponent maybe go and protect nigh lego till wind with You velto that could be a big issue for us And the substitute causes us all sorts of problems Just that they don't protect here then yeah, they do protect If we do see the tailwind I just file play it's into you velto though. So that's not too bad All right I mean I can take that our tailwind put us out so um It could go from the tailwind here. I'm gonna earthquake And I'm gonna tailwind Power gem. Yeah Oh into landeris. Huh They're gonna try and get rid of landeris Yeah, they are Okay And get the tail wind up. I mean that's better for us overall to be honest um Makes it difficult for us to deal with the evalto though. I think that's the one thing that Is a bit awkward to deal with right now Uh, but we get the right chewing Um, I think we'll file Yeah, we'll The evalto is just file play the nigh lego is just power gem Let's fake out the evalto and go for file play into the nigh lego If it goes for a protect then we can lock it in the next turn and don't think it's gonna It's gonna try and get the knockout onto our evalto, but doing this gets rid of that sub It probably takes evalto down. That's the problem. Yeah And the job for our ultran across now is getting Lord, I've got as time goes on Um I think the turn we tail winded we might have been better off actually just file playing into the nigh lego Um, like honestly that would probably be a better play We could double into the evalto now Vault switch and go Sunsteal strike and hope that's enough to take it down I'm not sure it is Yeah, the nigh lego's gonna protect so there's the There's that Sunsteal strike. Let's see what this damage is like. Come on. Surprise me ultran across math We needed the wild charge here. I think Tail wind Please. Oh, it's a berry. Oh, man. This is the air. I think this might be This might be our first loss this week file play coming out into. Oh, we'll take this No We'll take it now. Yeah, we're done for now. We can lock We can lock the nigh lego into protect with encore But I mean, there's not really much point at this at this stage. We're kind of done So I'll go for the vault switch. We'll probably see the the mines of raichu here The berry on the evalto proving really really good for my opponent and a really nice team composition They played it well the substitute on the nigh lego support and everything super super well As we see a sludge bomb into the raichu and a file play here So again, like what I was saying of the testing process. This is a team that really one of those ones where um, you need to Like really dig down deep and and have a look and and see why it went wrong and what went wrong with it say Could we have brought maybe something else that would have helped us out a bit more in that match and what was awkward about finding our bold position and Was it something that was just where we're lacking completely or was it something to do with how we play that match? And I think that's the first bit that you identify and if it's Once you identify that first bit, then you can address it and say, right Well, if we play this archetype to get in the future, well, we'll need to leave this We need to have this board position at all times We need to have these switching options at all times and keep that in mind and that makes it easier Whereas when you if it's a pokemon deficit or support option or an attacking option deficit That's when you need to look at the team and think right what can we change up here to make it A bit different where we're not sacrificing too much of what the team's made up of so far And that I feel that's the more difficult side of it But the two sides of things that you need to always take into consideration. So those losses are really valuable I'm going to look back at the loss myself Have a look where we could have went differently and make sure that we improve on that going forward in the Week and if we make changes next week coming into this series Pending if we continue this next week, then that's obviously going to be something that we'll take into consideration But we're going to end it there guys. Thank you so much for tuning in. We're three and one at the minute It's not so bad. We've had some really great games this week. Congratulations all my pwners Good game to every single one of them. Thank you all for tuning in. I hope you've enjoyed it Do leave your comments down below and I'll see you for the next one. So until then take care and bye
