 Hi guys, and welcome back to another episode of our Pokemon VGC 2019 battle series I hope you're all well We kicked off yesterday in our last episode with this team on your screen in front of you Which is just to recap the Zygarde, the Taptic Finney, the Zygarde Leia, Incinero, Venusaur, and Cro, Toxicrog, I was gonna say Crobat there, but it's not a Crobat. It's a Frogbat And so yes, just to recap we've got the Misty Seed on the Zygarde, the Berry on Finney We've got the Phytinium Z on Sogaleo, just as a little bit of a variation on the standard Sogaleum Z, which we might end up changing to, we've got the Incinero, Bulky Berry, Focacash, Venusaur, and then the Aesophus I'm gonna say Crobat again aren't I? Toxicrog. Ignore me. I don't know why I've got Crobat on the brain for some reason And but yes, the team as always is in this description below With a roll pace and a poker pace so you can check that out Try it out if you'd like and if you do try it out Let me know what your thoughts are on the team, but if you missed yesterday's episode go back up here I'll link a card for you so you can catch up we had some really good games to kick us off yesterday And like I said in yesterday's episode what I want to do is mimic that cure-on-white build process that we did where we go Through the battle spot Identify the threats and overcome them and tweak and test and put our own kind of mark on this team to have a Really good finished article at the end of the two week period where we'll be playing around with it because they do feel Although there's a lot of potential in this team and it can do some really good work There are holes in it and there are certain archetypes out there that it does struggle against So it's patching those up and really like I say putting our own mark on it by the end of the two weeks Which I hope will do so getting into it today guys. Let's do it Let's get some music on because that's always fun and hop on to the battle spot But just a reminder as well if you do enjoy this content make sure that you do drop a like on the video Just down there that little thumbs up thing and make sure you do subscribe to the channel So you don't miss any of our daily battle series our streams Guide series French squad circuit review show on all of those goodies as well and like I was mentioning yesterday I am currently working on our ultra series guide So they will be dropping as soon as the ultra series does come into effect So to make sure you don't miss any of those then you should stay up to date and subscribe I need to plug this in because I was like why is my DS going red There we are we've got power and we have our first opponent So let's jump into to you Solance good low is our first opponent today. What a good name playing a team of a zernius kai ogre Amunga's cartana in scenario and tornadoes so that common combination of Zernius kai ogre here. We're gonna have to be very careful of I mean We've got the saga layer that deals with the Zernius pretty nicely the cartana the incinero and even the Amungas with with proper terrain support But it's a kai ogre that I'm a little more worried about That's why I think I want to bring probably toxic rock to this match It does do a really nice job against the kai ogre general We've got ways to hit the majority of things on the team And then the only thing that we need to worry about from there would be the tornadoes And I would suspect that the tornadoes probably has rain dance in this sort of build But considering that we don't have a weather about on we don't need to worry about that too much It's just deciding what we want to play and I think what we'll do is lead off with What's what for do we want we won't tap if any for sure and I Think so good layer. It's gonna be very nice Mmm. I want to say in scenario Really do want to say in scenario But I also want to bring zygote to this match even though it doesn't seem like it would have the best of times But if we can get it set up not in front of the Zernius that it should be quite effective But we'll jump out into our first one today. So hopefully it's a good one guys Good luck to my opponent Let's see, but yes, I was mentioning yesterday as well about the the Jenny it reveals I didn't really get much time to touch on them But I mean, yeah, it was just incredible seeing us and I'm like totally spoiler crazy at the minute now I'm like I want to know all the information like as much as I would love to get the game opener up and everything Be like Brian you to me. I'm so bad. I'm so impatient. I just want spoilers all the time Which isn't great. So It's one thing I have to kind of it's a double-edged sword, isn't it? But I mean, yeah, you decide your own Around that, but we're gonna see a carton of Kyogre come up from my opponent. It's likely that it's scoffed Kyogre I would say and we can promote what I think we're gonna have to bring in talk to cork and just protect with so go This first turn I can't imagine anything but a leaf blade coming out from the carton And then I would say maybe a thunder into the type of finny But if it is and it's faster than this carton and we know it's scoffed into that then there's so ugly I've got a better time going into the next time for sure. It is that thunder leaf blade into toxic broke Critical hit No, wow But thank thank goodness. We have that water spark coming out that you'll heal us all the way back Nearly up to full health and we can we can get the dry skin as well Which will take us to full health again undo all that damage now We've got access to fake out here, so we could just fake out the Kyogre and go for that if I tin you All our pummeling into the carton. I'm tempted to do this I really am tempted to do it and I'm gonna do it. I'm just gonna lock down I'm gonna pull the trigger on it and we'll hopefully get this cartona no switches either So we're gonna get the Kyogre for this time. We're gonna see knockoff Into toxic hook take away that assault vest. You don't like to see but we are gonna get out Z move and If this cartona is sold vest like they normally are in this sort of build then we should be able to pick up the knockout pretty handsomely Pretty handsomely what am I talking about pretty easily just throwing words together. That's all I'm doing Just excited because we've just all our pummeling. It's cartona. It's gone mix Temple Finney's like so much easier now Like it really does now. We have access to why God as well Toxic rock is gonna miss this assault vest for sure But it doesn't have to rely on it. It does such a good job against Kyogre in general I'm gonna see incidental now hit the field And Now we could just why God although we have to worry about the fake out from the incidental Whoo What do we do? I mean we could switch into type of Finney for toxic rock. We set the Intimidate drop and just protect. I think that's probably the most sensible thing to do here We're not gonna take too much damage from Making this play then we've got the toxic rock to switch back in for the soga layer If we do find ourselves in a little bit of an awkward position going into the next turn And you've got to imagine probably I think my opponent probably wants to get rid of this soga layer because the zonius is probably lurking in the back and As long as we keep soga layer around for the late game We should be able to close it up pretty pretty comfortably here So just withdraw toxic rock nice bringing toxic rock as well to the match and being able to show it's kind of utility Especially against these kind of teams. It's a Pokemon that dipped in and out of using a lot through the Sun and the moon series But kind of never really had too much time to play around with it as much as I would have liked to I'm gonna see the incidental now switch out And it wouldn't be that zonius coming in I don't imagine Yeah, it is a zonius Okay, the chaiyoga is locked into a waterspout now we do have wide guard, but we just protected so it's gonna be a bit awkward doing that I think Like soga layer will take a waterspout so we could potentially just heal pulse the soga layer and Sun still strike the zonius the soga layer will definitely take a waterspout full power waterspout from it's not even full power It's kind of like Just under full power because it's chaiyoga. Okay my opponent baiting us in doing the thing Okay, just getting damage off, but I mean the heal pulse kind of helps us out massively here Smart play from my opponent like it's the idea to do this is like it's like perfectly along the right lines Like you want to be doing this This is what you need to get rid of the soga layer for your zonius to have a really good time I'm gonna see Skull actually come out not a waterspout just interesting And we do see that it's not actually Scarfed as well, which is super interesting kind of assume that it was we'll just heal off that damage though Which is pretty nice for us and that I think because the terrain is going to be running out soon as well Yeah, we want to Just get toxa croc onto the field now and we'll protect With soga layer my opponent probably gone for the skull there expecting the white guard Maybe as well kind of just covering for that But the misty terrain is quite important for us in this match just to kind of alleviate any sort of burns and having the Finney in the back to bring in if the Kyogre does decide to go a bit crazy with water spouting Even though it's slower than that soga layer It's always a nice security have in the back. So we'll bring in toxa croc We'll get this protect off see you scald Into that slot another u-turn I'd imagine yeah Okay Now this is the turn I think we try and make a little bit take a little bit more advantage of things because I feel like you bring your zonius in here What you want to do is get the incineroar in next to it So you've got that fake out the next turn and but what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna fake out zonius just to actually check it. So it doesn't count go for that geometry Well, that probably doesn't go for it to be honest. I think We don't even need to fake it out I'm not scared of it if it does decide to go for Actually, we will fake it out because if we're going for the superpower like I want to We don't want to be having to shuffle around I bought too much with soga layer after this and getting the attack drop Does make it likely that that incineroar The zonius will be able to take a Sunsteel strike after a minus one from the super power drop now Incineroar coming in like we expected we should be able to pick up the knockout from this range with the super power Like it should have enough chip on to it and faking out here is definitely And we're not getting punished for not doing that because I wanted to maybe double into this lot Just to make sure that we were getting the knockout there, but we are able to pick up the KO on the incineroar and take away that a line of Support for the zonius now we've got Sunsteel strike poison jab we can we can double into the zonius if we like The coyote we're gonna hit the field once again So yeah, I think we just poison jab I Feel like the zonius protects here if I'm like completely honest with you But what happens if it doesn't protect and we switch out? I mean I think it now we've got enough to deal with the coyote It's the zonius we need to deal with as long as toxic rocks around we don't really worry about this Too much yeah, it's gone straight for the Geomancy so doubling into it was the right call here The poison jab Sunsteel strike should be enough to take it down If we'd been a bit complacent like we were thinking of doing like switching this over there out and to reset those stack drops Then we would have really got punished and when I made it closing down this match a lot more difficult for us here So we'll see this Sunsteel strike now after this Geomancy It's not gonna be picking up the knockout at all But like I say as we have poison jabbed into that slot But that talks a crook Even minus one we should be able to pick up the knockout from this range. Oh Wow, okay Waterium Z coming out the bike from the Kyogre and I mean it was to be expected to be honest because it's not scoffed Are you kidding? See psych up. Holy crap. Holy crap Of all man, we don't even take the zonius down Get the poison Wow See psych up that poison is huge for us there. It takes as early as down Like we could suck a punch at the next turn, which probably would pick up the knockout Wow, I can't believe that I really can't believe that that is incredible. I Think what we'll do is switch in Finney will go for the poison jab Poison jab probably does more of the drain punch drain punch will go into yeah, we'll drain punch and bring in Finney This Kyogre hasn't got thunder then it's got water spout and scald So can't it can't beat the Toxa croc But these plus two skulls are still going to be like look at this watch 50% to a Finney that's ridiculous. That is ridiculous These drain punches are doing nothing either Okay Mean Finney, can you actually take another one? I don't think you're actually gonna be able to Because we want to nature's madness if we can just to get some damage onto it Another skull this will take us down. I reckon Always survive with five HP. Okay That's insane. I love that Z psych up though. That is incredible. That's a really good tech I'm so happy that we got to feature on the on the channel as well for you guys such a cool thing I mean we get super fortunate with the With the poison like I've already said, but I mean yeah That's fine, isn't it? I'd like it like I say we still had like we still had zygote in the back with extreme speed Even if it did survive, we can bring it in extreme speed And there's only us the worst case scenario So we just do see the forfeit but very good game to my opponent and what a nice team I want a nice way for us to kick off the episode today guys So we'll get straight into our next one. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to find an opponent But in the meantime while we are waiting Yeah, you can talk a bit more about this this Pokemon direct last week Which I keep trying to talk about but then we get cut off so quickly, but yes Team sobble is like a hundred percent sobbles just so cute. It's a little amazing. It's like a salamander lizard thing So cool. And so it's definitely I've already decided that's gonna be my starter And like I say, I would love to get the game and be like oh, this is all brand new and sparkly And I don't know anything about it, but I think because of how excited I am about the games dropping I'm literally all over every single like leak rumour any content to do with it It's all very exciting. So I Won't pass on any spoilers on these videos So don't worry I won't spoil it for anyone else if you are one of those people sitting on Sitting on wanting to have all that fun and excitement when you get the game We've grown up against Benya has them our first opponent a second opponent today with a mungas Kyogre tapu Bulu Stack attack a Lunala and Incinero So a nice combination between the Lunala and the Kyogre here one that's probably a bit under utilized I think this is gonna be a tough matchup for us because the Lunala puts on a lot of pressure on our so go Leo It makes things very difficult for us Aside from that so go Leo does a pretty good job against most things outside of the Kyogre It's just a restricted that we need to make sure that we're managing properly. I think if we bring toxic rock here It's probably a very good call especially for the the tapu Bulu and the Kyogre the stack attacker And even that Incinero to a certain extent and and the Lunala if we can break that cheddar shield I'm gonna lead off with Incinero Because of that and I think Maybe this one's where he leaves I got at home likes I got could be potentially quite good here And but I don't know if there's much room. I definitely won't misty terrain How do I want yeah, we definitely won't misty terrain just to help us against that a mungas if things are set up I'm gonna lead off with so go Leo Bring Finney and toxic rock in the back and we'll go with with those to start us off today So good luck to my But yeah, I won't drop any any spoilers here. This is a spoiler-free zone Just things that are officially announced I will talk about but nothing else and so I Would hate to spoil it for anyone and anything I read I'll not mention But that's the thing like if you guys I know the majority of you like competitive VGC stuff But if you ever did want me to cover like news Theories just my opinions on things Leaks on stuff that have come out on the new games Let me know on the run-up because I am at Pokemon fine deep down at heart And I love all that sort of stuff So anything like that is like I would be so happy to create content on but it's just whether or not you would Like to see it or not. So let me know I'm happy to do it. If so, we're gonna see a mungas Lunala come out for my opponent and Mmm Without snarl it makes it a little bit difficult to get around I think what we'll do is we'll go knock off into Lunala and We'll bring in Tapa Fini here for so go there. We need to Not be z moved in this situation the mungas does give that Lunala a lot of protection My opponent's identified that we don't really have too much around that This is why the Zygoth might have been quite useful here. Let's see the rage powder Come up from the mungas So we will be able to knock it off. Yeah, we're gonna see a trick room. I think That's interesting very interesting But with the messy terrain app, it's it's fine, isn't it? I Think I'll just go for another knockoff into Lunala and do a knockoff this time. I think we probably want to Flarelets and nature's madness The Lunala And imagine the Kyogre might come in here could do But for Toxicrog to deal with this Lunala well, we're gonna have to try and get break the Shadow Shields Oh, spawn messy terrain not realizing that it doesn't actually affect us We could have just went for the knockoff there. It's a bit frustrating, isn't it? I mean, it's fine because we get the nature's madness now into The Lunala and the next turn we can we can knock it off. We're gonna see a mungas beam just come out from Lunala Maybe a misclick from my opponent there with the mungas or a timeout You never know. Let's see the mungas beam come out into finny do some nice damage We'll return back with breaking that Shadow Shield putting it in knockout range as well knockoff range and knockout range From iron cinnaball and I'd imagine the Kyogre coming in now I think the only thing that could really scupper our plans Would be an iron ball Kyogre And whether or not this Lunala's got protect as well. I don't know if it will have But it's not to say it won't But when nature's madness the Kyogre And knockoff that Lunala And it mean we got Toxicrog now to come in and let Lunala's in sucker punch range. Oh We're not even gonna see a switch out or anything like that. I'm gonna see a Cobra Berry There but it still should be enough to take it down yet and now taking down a Lunala Origin pulse coming out from the Kyogre. It's not iron ball Doing a chunk too old in scenario here though And it is a slow Kyogre, so it's nice to know when the trick room ends if you can get that far It will be able to add speed after that So let us bring in the Toxicrog One of our opponent's last Pokemon is hmm It's in a roll. It's in a raw. Okay. That's fine. I mean, it's gonna be able to fake us out Before we can fake it out, but Kyogre can't really touch us Um, okay, let's go. I mean we'll try and fake out if we can we can just nature's madness I mean what we'll do actually we'll go swagger into the Toxicrog Because the incident was likely to fake out the Toxicrog here. I think oh the tap of Finney Okay Just trading the fake out system. I mean, that's fine. We don't mind that at all It's got poison jab into the Kyogre and go for that Swagger once again. I don't think we get the swagger off this time though We'll probably see if thunder or just another origin pulse even origin pulse at this range will be enough to take us down But my opponent just for thing and we are able to come through victorious in that one So again, we've had two really good games here today So I hope you've enjoyed them guys And I have been trying to talk a little bit about the Pokemon direct last week But I haven't really had much time to but we'll have time on stream or something like that Or just another video separately or all about to discuss that but things going really nicely with the team So far this week. So I hope you're enjoying it. Do leave your comments and let me know what your thoughts are on it And we'll be back with another episode tomorrow. Thank you so much for tuning in Hope you've enjoyed it and I will see you all again very soon. So until then guys take care and bye. Bye
