 Hi everyone, I hope you're all well and welcome back to another episode of our Pokemon vgc 2019 battle series We are finally here in the ultra series kicking off today after a little break on the channel yesterday So we are into the ultra series like I said I kind of wait to get into this one and we put out a poll about a week ago onto the channel asking you guys What you'd like to see played for us kicking off into the ultra series today And thank you so much to each and every one of you that voted and chose the team that we are featuring today Which will be on your screen right now or be altering across Matt and Xenia, so it's gonna be a lot of fun We're gonna play this team over the next couple of weeks We may make tweaks along the way But as always the team is down in the description below there be a role-paced and a poker-paced for you guys to Check out use take away And if you do make sure to let me know in the comment section how you find this team And if you've got any variations of it as well that you've been playing around with it It would be really nice to hear from you all so kicking into today We're gonna use this team. I guess here. We've got lots of set up around the dustman necrosma Which turns into the ultra necrosma. Obviously, it's got the ultra necrosma Z item there. We've got the Xenius We know what Xenius does J Mansi booster, but we need a lot of support around these Pokemon We've got the calm mind on the ultra necrosma as well Just to give it a bit more power and when we're using it in matches You've got their support options all around it with the Incineroar We've got mega Kangaskorn now that we've got megas back into this format Then the Amungus gives us something to utilize in trip room if that is going to be what my opponent goes for Then the Tapofini there, but we've got Psycup on Tapofini on this one I think it's quite a nice little niche move to use there that we can utilize alongside the Xenius We've got Moonblast on it as well and Icy wind for that Speed control support and heal pulse just to help out the whole team and make sure that we're not getting too much Damage too quickly and we've got a way to kind of come back in some really tight situation So teams should be really nice. I'm looking forward to it. Can't wait I'm actually up at like five o'clock this morning because obviously with how the The ladder reset it was super late. So I thought I don't want to miss an episode today Let's get up early. So I'm a little bit sleepy So I hope it doesn't come across too bad on the episode today But we'll jump into it straight away right now because you don't want to hear about that But as always if you enjoy this sort of content, please make sure to leave a like on the video Do subscribe to the channel for more Pokemon content and leave your comments in the comment section below because there's nothing more Then I love then hearing comments from you guys. So crack the music on I guess we better choose this tune What are you gonna go with? What could we look in Rainbow Rocket? We've got Natsume. Is it Natsume? Natsume is our first opponent. So let's hop into team preview So we're going up against our first opponent today playing a team of Rayquaza Kyoga, Serena, Tabukoko, Suikun and Ferrothorn. So we've got that Rayoga build here It's gonna be Mega Rayquaza and then the Primal Kyoga It's gonna be a lot of fun to kind of see these Pokemon for the first time on the channel this season We've got the Serena support there to preventing any sort of fake-out Support from our end which is a little bit difficult for us to deal with because we've got a lot of fake-out support in the Incineroar and the Mega KangusCon there. Tabukoko gonna be a bit threatening especially for Ultranacrosmog Because it has got access to that Ferium Z now that can really deal a lot of damage to Ultranacrosmog once we do Ultra Burst Then you've got the Suikun for speed control I would say there with the Tailwind It's got access to Icy Wind, Roa as well, something else that we need to be Considering going into this match and then the Ferrothorn which is gonna be my opponent's kind of trick room countermeasure So what are we gonna do to lead up against this? I do want Intimidate and Incineroar would be decent I think we probably do need to bring Incineroar It's just dealing with that Kyogre that is a bit of an issue and I may want to go down the route of KangusCon, but I think we'll go Incineroar for sure Do we bring Ultranacrosmog? Yeah, I think we might want to bring that up front I want Tabufini Just as a switch in and probably Zernius as well So that's what we'll go with to kick us off in this first one today This is quite a tough matchup to be honest and that there's like quite a few aspects of this team I just don't like facing and it's a nice build for my opponent as well I think the Serena really supports a lot of the team quite well And especially against this sort of archetype the way playing where we were relying on that setup And we need our fake out support next to it where we're kind of denied that the whole time We are gonna see the Tabu The Kyogre and the Serena come out for my opponent. So straight away we cannot take advantage of A fake out but interestingly enough Looks like this Kyogre might. Is this Kyogre not a Primal Kyogre? I would have thought it would have Primal reverted by now Yeah It's Scarfed Kyogre We're not even seeing a Primal Kyogre in our first Ultra series Okay, right. Well, we can't keep Incineroar in so what I'm gonna do is just switch it out to Tabu Fini and I'm actually just gonna protect Nekrosma this time The problem with doing this is if we say a feint And then we lose Ultra Nekrosma straight away, which isn't good So it's a little bit risky doing this, but hopefully we can get away with it Hopefully we just see a helping hand potentially. There we go. That's all right It's all all right And we'll see water spout. It's still gonna do a lot of damage to the Fini even though we do resist it There's the water spout But we do protect and the nice thing about Ultra Nekrosma is when we do Primal there, we will be Part dragging so we do resist that water spout. This does help us out a lot. That's Tabu Fini though Taking so much damage and Right, we could heal pulse Could I see wind as well? I Do feel like we need to target the Kyogre down there rather than Serena even though I'm kind of more inclined to target That Serena down here Right, let's go We need to start getting damage onto the Serena No, we're not gonna go. We're gonna go heal pulse because I feel like we take a ton of damage With Nekrosma here and we don't want it in too bad of a shape so we will Ultra Burst And we will go for that Photon Geyser into the Kyogre here and try and just get as much damage onto it as possible The Photon Geyser should do a decent amount of damage. First time seeing Ultra Burst as well. It's super cool Here we go Ultra Nekrosma and there's the helping hand again Water spout. We should take a helping hand water spout, right? Oh Man that is Disgusting that damage isn't it? But now the next turn at least we get the Photon Geyser off. We'll be able to heal pulse ourselves as well and That water spout is not gonna be doing as much damage going into this next turn We'll be able to pick up the kill onto the Kyogre as well. It's next time. Wow That's a lot of damage Okay, so Kyogre in range this next turn, I think we need to heal pulse again Question is though does my opponent Because we could potentially Z move the Serena here because I think the Kyogre probably switches out And if we look at what my opponent's got on the back They don't really have a great switching to the Photon Geyser to be honest with the Kyogre I'm kind of inclined to go icy wind and Z move into that Serena if I'm completely honest like the burns this guy. Let's do it. Let's do it Let's just get rid of the Serena as soon as that's gone. Yeah, the Kyogre is gonna switch out. She's fine First I'm gonna come in So we picked the right slot to do and I probably have to cut this Z move I'm just thinking now because it's probably gonna be Copywriting so we'll come right back, which is a bit unfortunate Man, that is a crazy long Z move animation And I'm sad that we're not able to feature it really But we do pick up the knockout on Serena because it's just ridiculously powerful, but it's a really nice animation It is very long though. So it's one of them It's definitely one of those ones that you've put on the list of I've seen it once now I don't really need to see a gazillion other times, but it's very cool Very cool indeed. It's a shame that we can't put it up on the channel really But I'm sure there's animations of it somewhere that you guys can go and see and you'll be playing the game yourself So you do see the Tabakoko now hit the field The rain is obviously still up because it wasn't primal Kyogre. I think what we'll do is switch in in Cine-Roll And we will We just protect Nacrosma here Yeah, let's just protect. You don't want to take a dazzling gleam Which is likely to come out on the Tabakoko, especially with a pherathon on the field You think you've got a way to to snipe both of my Pokemon right now And if we can change the terrain as well will help us out a little bit later on in the battle just against this Tabakoko We're also getting an intimidate on to that pherathon Which is really quite important for later on if it does stay in but that is just gonna switch straight out for that Kyogre coming back onto the field. At least we know we don't have the Reco-Azer to deal with In this match, so we'll just protect Nacrosma. Let's see what the Tabakoko is going for the Z move I wonder if it is the pheranium. Yep Twinkle tackle It's probably gonna do a decent amount of damage. The thing is there. We had an opportunity to go for an icy wind Hopefully we take this. I'm hoping we take it on about 50% health so we should Yeah, yeah, okay, that's fine Right, I think we need to maneuver ourselves into a position where we can get Azernius in and set up So Krosma's gonna take a dozen gleam right now. I feel that's what's gonna happen Let me switch into Oh Think I might want to switch it into Tepithini, but then I want Tepithini switching into Incinero the next turn So we could try we could just sack. I think yeah, we'll just Sack Nacrosma. We'll try and get an earth power into this Tabakoko. I doubt we'll get it because I feel like We're probably gonna get dazzling gleamed Yeah Now I could have faked that Tabakoko there, but then we probably lose Incinero I feel Incinero is a lot more important to us Right now then the The ultra nacrosma just for that ferrithon in the back that can cause us a lot of issues Right, I'm gonna switch in Zernius, and I think what I'll do is switch Incinero out to Tepithini Because I think if we can get boosted up with Zern and have Incinero next to it that that should be a bold position That can kind of win us this game So we'll try and maneuver it and engineer it, but it's not gonna be super easy for us to do So getting this terrain change. It's just whether the Kokus which is out now to ferrithon That's a big question, but I mean I kind of would like to lose Finny in this situation rather than anything else They want my Ponycos for just the origin pulse, and there we go Yeah, it's not too bad if you see a thunderbolt Taunt, okay all right I think we just icy wind Or we could heal pulse Icy wind's probably better And then a moon blast into the Kyogre It's gonna be ferrithon coming out Okay, we've probably seen another taunt from the Cocoa, although might just toggle it down into the Yeah, there we go So this isn't too bad at all because it means we do get the Incinero when we've got access to the fake out this next turn It's sort of being the turn to Jman, see that really And not get baited, baited and buy the taunt And the rain coming back to the few for the Kyogre And get a little bit of damage onto that ferrithon I mean Okay, that's a great big bit of damage onto the ferrithon And we do see it has got the leftovers there The problem is We want a Jman, see I think we take, I think we take, um A minus one, terrible With Azernis I mean the one thing we can guarantee is that we can fake out the Kyogre and probably dazzling Gleam here And or just moon blast it double into it Because ferrithon's not going to be able to knock out Or do we just take this opportunity to Jman, see that's the question That is the question. I think we just go Moon blast fake out into Kyogre and take less damage from the gyro ball this turn Because Incinero will be able to just deal with the ferrithon by itself And as long as we're not in Crit, why? Of all things, come on This is not fair But Pokemon is not fair That's really, that's really really unfortunate for us there Incinero's still got his berry That's really frustrating Uh, especially with the rain up as well. Um, I'm gonna just snarl Ferrithon probably goes for each seed here. We've still got our berry with our Incinero We need to try and stall out this rain to deal with the type of cocoa Can we do it? Come on cat. Let's do this Oh, we do avoid that's good for us, I guess Because it's only going to take one player to deal with that ferrithon It's just about whether or not we can Deal with the type of cocoa timey enough. Two turns of rain left. Hmm Right, let's think. Uh, we snarl again Snarl again. Let's snarl again We'll switch. Let's see what this is doing. How much? Okay, not so much So type of cocoa not really a problem here, but it's the only thing that's really gonna threaten us Damage-wise There's a leech seed. It does hit this time It should just proc our berry Yeah, I wonder if we can do this. I don't know if we're gonna be able to I don't know if we're gonna be able to really it's gonna be very difficult to do um I want to hit that ferrithon out of the rain to be honest I could just snarl again. I think just get this type of cocoa down even more Attack-wise there's a vol switch. What's it doing 28? So just over 28. So yeah I don't know if we're gonna be able to do it to be honest because the next turn the ferrithon probably protects We need the flare blitz to take down the cocoa Oh, it's jarra ball on as well. Just wanting damage onto us Start doing that much though rain stops So this turn is where the ferrithon I think has to protect. That's gonna be It's gonna yeah, we probably go down to recoil by the matching Um, we need the flare blitz to actually take down the cocoa But if we do that, I think we probably lose too much recoil and the leech seed takes us down anyway That crit on Xenius is terrible Really terrible Never mind. We can't Can't control the rng or the ferrithons not actually protecting so we definitely lose here. Yeah I mean, that's the one player my opponent could go for but the the crit Just missed the kill and going down to recoil damage. It's not a good game to my opponent That's real a real shame for us to kick off with today because I think we could have won that But at the same time We did have opportunities where we could have made slightly different players. I think Okay, let's just move on and try this again But realistically that jarra ball should have done minus one Without the geomancy boost. I would say just about 50 60 percent So it puts us in a decent position to have A really good end game to deal with the cocoa and we saw there It's more of a support cocoa. So it didn't really have thunderbolt or anything like that doesn't glean Taunt as well. So it wasn't really going to be hitting or picking up the knockout onto the zernius Come on. Let's get some good music There we go, okay So we've got an ex opponent. Let's go into team preview So we're going up against whimsicott tapulele Requires that um don't dawn wings necrosma, which is going to be probably ultra necrosma blaziken and neganadel. So Right, we've got tailwind support from the whimsicott and the neganadel. You've got to say it's more tailwind variant This is a very fast team So we need to have ways to kind of counteract this. We've got the blaziken Which is probably going to be the mega of the team does really well against the mega kangus corn here as well With its speed boost ability So what can we do to get around this because our only speed control is pretty much zernius with its geomancy And then the icy wind support from tapu finny But tapu finny doesn't do too bad here to be honest Um, and I think i'm probably going to lead incinero tapu finny here um I don't know if I want to bring kang and zernius ultra necrosma. I think in the back Yeah, let's do that Although could amungus be decent half decent here could be but we'll not go with it We'll just lock in with those four and then See how my opponent approaches this. I think we've got to be a bit careful around that neganadel In particular the whimsicott's always going to be a bit of an issue to deal with like it always is in these formats But i'm confident i'm confident guys that we can overcome this the music selection today hasn't been on point though We've got the in-game music back After such a long time where we've just been having a lot of pokemon battle revolution music so I've not been able to click through on On the music on the tracks sometimes so we've got a weird bunch, but I guess it's good because it gives us variety That's what we like Spice up so we've got Rayquaza. We've got whimsicott coming out for my opponent Which is decent for us because we've got icy wind support intimidate support and also fake add support gone into this first turn It's likely that we see The whimsicott. Well, probably just a double protect here to be honest That's what I would imagine. Um, I'm gonna just switch out into Ultra necrosma and I'm gonna go for an icy wind With teppu finny. It's just nice to keep that intimidate in the back especially against Rayquaza because Even though it's switching out We can take advantage of it the next turn Later on the game with the intimidate, especially if we've got incineral Um in the back to bring it in and utilize that intimidate We do see the tap lele switching for the Rayquaza now gets terrain up expecting probably a fake up from us There's a tail wind from that teppu teppu It's not even a tapu. It's a teppu wimmy. That's what it is, but it's a whimsicott Guys, it's like five in the morning. That's well, it's after five now, but I'm so sleepy So sleepy All right, we do get the um Oh jack button. Hmm. That's quite a nice little tech there on tapu lele But we do see the tail wind set up from the whimsicott. Of course, we're gonna come in for my opponent We've got quite a nice switching though to Incineral right now anyway And I think we'll probably do that because we don't want to keep our duskman out on the field In front of this duskmane. Uh, so we will just go for another icy wind We've got some nice chip damage on so that whimsicott already And incineral can come back onto the field. It's gonna resist the synergy. There's obvious. It's really nice It's going to protect us from what this dawn wings came through out It's like a moon guys beam or something like that. It's probably gonna ultra burst now. Here we go Bright light on the opposing side of the field Here we go. Ultranacosma bursting Okay, help in hand. No, it's gonna be into finny They're gonna they're gonna nuke finny. Oh, no, it's not. I don't wow, maybe Help in hand support though. It's pretty scary Okay, but incineral's like nah Take that all day. Oh, we missed the ultranacosma. That's not what we want Because we've got to worry about helping hand Earth power as well from this nuke osma Which is not ideal not ideal at all. Um, I think we'll snarl And we'll go for icy wind again Hmm Probably gonna lose our intimidate support here. No, ultranacosma. I'm just gonna Let's draw. Gonna see Tapir Lele hit the field once again. Energy ball Wimmy is just full of surprises. There's a decent chunk of damage as well Come on We need you to to be on point today. We can't be dealing this whimsicut should be gone now and the tailwind would have ended But now it's got access to tailwind once again Is blind Oh no, the tailwind. We've got one more turn. Okay Hey It's not led some panic too much yet. So I think what we'll do is we'll you turn out Onto whimsicut and we'll just go for another icy wind Hopefully after that snarl a side shock from the tapir lele shouldn't take down tapir finny I'm hoping But we just want to keep up this pressure with that icy wind support There's a sidekick. Okay. We should take this Yeah But we're not gonna take the double which is A little bit frustrating because it would just blow our berry crock in there. Um, we'll look at the u2 Into the whimmy deny that to be control going forward. We can't really utilize our Pickout support. We'll bring in zhonyas though and then we can bring in I think Incineroar as well. We know what my opponent's got to deal with. So if we can get the geomancy boost up here We should be in a good a good place Tailwind does pitter out finally for my opponent and we'll bring in nc Requiser coming in. Okay, that's perfect It's perfect. Oh Okay, because we can just geomancy fake out the requiser Because it's not attached to that flow that pink lobby flow then we can Take it out because it's not protected by tapulele Tapulele. Okay, it's geo and Fake out the ray And I don't know what the tapulele is going to be doing here. It's snarled It's definitely taking an icy wind. I'm pretty sure so Oh I'm gonna see mega requiser hit the field. Here we go Gonna mega mega requiser. So cool. It's so good. I'm gonna see that delta stream out of it mysterious air into the field But I'm sorry, it's not really gonna be enough to help you out. I don't think now Let's get the geomancy off kind of really punishes my opponent. I mean What are we gonna see the tapulele do? That's the question Look at these mysterious air. It's crazy the animation of that seems way more Obvious than it did in the previous generation games psychic I mean we just take that so well and the terrain disappears now. I mean we can just dazzling gleam Um, and we will just you turn out onto the The lele because we want to try and preserve incinero for that in tim day in case we just see a full fit there. So We do manage to take our second game after a first game where we had a little bit of unfortunate rng which wasn't the best but Um, it's just one of them things, you know, we put ourselves in that position So we've got to deal with it, but we'll come back stronger tomorrow at least one on one at the minute But the team's a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to continuing on with it this week So I'll end it up there guys. Thank you so much for tuning in I didn't mention earlier, but because of just sleepy time I think but if you do enjoy this content Do make sure to to leave a like on the video Do subscribe to the channel and all that jazz And we'll be back for more a school of hard knocks. There's my my normal alarm going off One normal time wake up. Um, but yes, we'll be back with more school of hard knocks Battle series tomorrow. So thank you so much for tuning in. Have a great day I will see you all on the next ones until then ticket. Bye. Bye
