 Hello friends, welcome back to another episode here on the channel. For those that are new to the channel, my name is Lee also known as Osiris. I hope you're all doing well and ready for more VGC 2021 content here today. And we've got another rental team that will be featuring today. So I basically got a little notification earlier from me, Luca VGC, who is a Korean player. He posted a team that he got actually ranked number one on the battle spot ladder with earlier. So I don't know, he must have been playing this recently. I don't know if he hit the rank today or if that was just a couple of days ago, but very recent, obviously. And this is a team that he posted earlier on today. Obviously the rental code will be down in the description. I'll make sure to tag that. And also me, Lucas VGC's social handle as well. So you can drop them a follow as well. And it is his birthday today. So big, big happy birthday to me, Luca VGC. Here is the team that will be featuring today. It's very centric around the Reggie Drago. Obviously going to be the main centerpiece of the team. Or at least to me it is. And that's what's really attracting me, too. Because I think Reggie Drago, we did an episode on it. I think it's a very strong Pokemon, but I do feel like it struggles a lot in this format. But there's lots of nice Pokemon around it to get rid of the Pokemon that give it a lot of problems. You've got Nileego, something I haven't really featured too much on the channel this season. So going to be nice to play that. And also the Tornadis as well. Now, the other three I can make an exception for, because we've had teams with these Pokemon in flurries throughout the last couple of weeks. Obviously the Urshifu with the Choice Band there. One of my favorite items on Urshifu then caught on with the Assault Vest. I haven't really played the Assault Vest variant too much. So that's going to be nice and interesting. And then Incineroar with the Shuka Berry there, reducing the damage from ground type attacks. So that is the team. And like I say, a big shout out to me. You look at for posting the team and sharing it with the community. Very nice of him to do that. And obviously it gives us the opportunity to kind of feature it today on the channel, which is going to be very fun. So we've got our first opponent of the episode. They are playing a team of Robombi, Trevenant, Wigglytuff, Dusknoir. Dusknoir. Is that how we're saying it? I don't know. Stackataka and Guzzlord. OK, this is not your kind of standard looking team. You've got to imagine there's probably speed swap on the Robombi. I don't know why else it would be in there other than that kind of little gimmick that it's got going on and plays well with the rest of the team. You know, you've got the Trick Room mod from the Dusknoir. The Trevenant is what my guessing. Comparative on Wigglytuff as well, to kind of punish, intimidate from ourselves and then the big hit as I don't know how hard Guzzlord will hit, but it's something not to be underestimated. It is a bit of a tank if you don't have the fairy typings to get around it. And then Stackataka as well. We all know how dangerous Stackataka can be. And has the Robombi got? Has it got the mental hurt? Because potentially we could have we got taunt on Tornadus? Let's have a quick look. We do because we could taunt it, I think as well. I'd like to lead Urshifu. That's definitely a Pokemon I would like to lead. Tornadus, the thing is Naileego is not a bad lead either here because it kind of helps check the Wigglytuff, you know? Also, Cortana isn't bad as well. I think we'll bring Drago and we'll bring Tornadus in the back as well. OK, so let's see. I mean, Incineroar might have been an option here. It kind of gives us a little bit of an option if the trick room gets set up and gives us a little bit of a means to stall out the trick room turns, especially with the Intimidates, London or opponent, fake out, things like that. But we haven't brought it. So we're going to have to manage without it in this one. Here we go. Those moonballs with the Dusknoir and the Wigglytuff. OK, well. We can definitely remove the I don't I don't really like saying that. I like saying disclops, disclops, it rolls off the tongue. But Dusknoir doesn't feel so good. And I might even be saying it wrong. The obvious thing here is obviously we go for the wicked blow into the Dusknoir and that would remove it. That takes away the option for a trick room, unless it's sashed. And I feel like this team's got lots of little gimmicks on it. The thing is, though, we do have Nilego sitting here, where we can reverse the trick room if you want. And we could just get a sludge bomb into the Wigglytuff. Wigglytuff could potentially max. Or we could see that, which is not so good. If we get the poison here, that would be helpful. Not going to be very effective, though. OK, we get the poison and a wicked blow, still going to do a bunch of damage to the Wigglytuff. But we are going to have to readjust our board position here because now potentially it doesn't gleam coming out from the Wigglytuff. Definitely going to threaten our Oshifu. And with the trick room set up as well, we're not in a great spot. And obviously locked into wicked blown out way of super vulnerable. So we'll we'll see if we can switch out. Maybe think Tornadus out of everything is probably the better thing to bring in here. The one Pokemon that I feel like we could maybe kind of sacrifice at this point out of everything else. Everything else that we've got in the field feels quite important. So and we do have the sash there. So there's a dozen gleam like we thought come out. We take that pretty comfortably on both Pokemon and the Paul two guys. Picks up our mental herb, which is this is going to hurt. Oh, OK, just hanging on to reverse that trick room, which is ideal. This is exactly what we need. Now, the problem is OK, I think what we'll do is we'll go for the taunt into the disney. We'll go for a meteor beam this time because we just go into the disney as well with a meteor beam. Because if we see the ally switch, we get the taunt onto that. Now we go after. Yeah, we go after the Wigglytuff because we want to get the taunt. Hopefully it hasn't got mental herb. No mental herb, but there's a shadow sneak, so we're going to lose. Nile ego, but that's fine. We prevent we're preventing the trick room, which is the big play here. Hyper voice coming out. Take some hefty damage from that. OK, the problem is I kind of want to get like a close combat should take down the Wigglytuff. But we still have to contend with a heat wave not going to be not going to be the play here. And I don't think it's time for Reggie Drago just yet because Reggie Drago is not going to be able to damage that Wigglytuff. We need to be able to remove the Wigglytuff really from the field. I mean, we could tailwind here. And then if, yeah, if we tailwind, I just worry about the ally switch. That's the only thing. Yeah, no ally switch. I'm hoping a banded close combat takes down the Wigglytuff. This will open the door then for Reggie Drago to come in and do a bunch of work. So there's the shadow sneak. That's fine. Yeah, close combat. They should take the Wigglytuff down. OK, perfect. We are locked into close combat, which is an ideal. I'm a poison just ticking away at that desk noir. So what's going to come in? At least it doesn't was taunted for at least one more turn. And if in that turn, Tornelist goes down, that's perfect, because then we get Reggie Drago into the field, which kind of opens the door for us to kind of start doing some big damage here. The other option is maybe, hmm, actually, we just want to go after, we just want to go after. The stack attacker. Yeah, let's just go after the stacks. Because I think with the fairy down, unless Robombi is the last Pokemon in my opponents slot, then we should be fine. But if Robombi is the last Pokemon and things get a bit tricky, we'll probably see a shadow sneak here from the desk noir. I think into Tornelist just to remove it. It'd be a bonus if we don't see that and we could potentially get a heat wave off. OK, we're going to see. Stack at just retreat. Guzzlord coming in. OK, I don't mind this at all. Because as long as Tornelist goes down here, what? No way. We're seeing. OK. Ha ha. Didn't expect to see this. Dynamics desk noir. So this gets super interesting. I would have never, ever, ever expected this. Now, the thing is, if the taunt was off here, that's perfect for us because they're just not getting their trick room up. And I think there's pretty much locks again for us because I don't expect us to lose Urshifu. I at least I hope we don't. OK, well, there's the Guzzlord going down. I'm hoping they attack into Tornelist here. That's where I want them to go. But I don't think they will. I think they'll go after Urshifu. Max Knuckle coming out. It's going to take Urshifu down, I think. Yep. Oh, we actually survive. I'm surprised about that, to be honest, because the minus two. So I know it is like Max Knuckle's capped, but we're minus two defense. You know, there's a taunt wearing off there. The other the other issue is obviously Stack Attack are coming in that does have access to trick room. And so it could go for that now. So it's probably worth our time actually not going for the Heat Wave and going for the taunt into the Stack Attacker and just following that up with a close combat. Because at this point now, as long as we can taunt the Stack Attacker, yeah, we've got Reggie Drago to come in and just kind of clean up after that. But we unfortunately get the win, but we don't actually get to see Reggie Drago, which is a little bit unfortunate. But the team showing they can kind of perform even without it's kind of it's starts mascot. It's the biggest member. So really kind of getting off to a nice start here. Here's my opponent's team, shiny Robombie. Has it got the speed swap? Yeah, there we go. OK, we've seen enough for the rest of the team, but very good game to my opponent. And we will move on to our next game. OK, so next up, we have got a team of Venus or Tocall, Porygon to Reggie, Aleccy, Urshifu and Glastria. So we've got a definitive trick room core in this team. You can see the Tocall and the Glastria, they're supported by the P2. It's going to be the trick room set. And then you've got the rest of the team in pretty speedy mode. You've got the Reggie Aleccy, which is going to cause us all sorts of issues. Then the Venus or with the chlorophyll ability with that drought ability on the Tocall, something that we need to think about and really try and mitigate if we can. And then the Urshifu, which kind of rounds up the team. So, Incineroar, definitely a good Pokemon for us here. It's a lead with, for sure. Do we want to go with Tornadus? It's a nice option because it gives us a way to shut down the P2 if we do see it. And it gives us a way to kind of mitigate the chlorophyll ability as well, if we do see it from the Venus or Tocall. So it's a nice option. The only issue is obviously the Reggie Aleccy is probably something that will lead. But then with the fake-out support from Incineroar, we have a way of mitigating that, at least. I do want to bring Reggie Drago here, but I think also we probably need... What do we need in our last slot? There's a lot of ground threats here, like Glastria, Kary's ground threats, Tocall and Venus all do. But I do feel like Nilego could do a job for us here as long as the speed conditions are in our favor, because if we're in a trick room obviously with Nilego, it's not going to be great. But we do have the option to reverse the trick room if they do get it set up. I don't think we need to worry too much if as long as we can get a tail wind up, if trick room's kind of avoided, that's a nice option there. But we'll see what my opponent goes with to lead and it's going to be the Reggie Aleccy and the Venus or... And a nice play here for my opponent would always be going for the... Volt switch into Tornadis, get us down to our sash, get the Tocall in and allow the Venus or to attack before anything, we can do anything really. So we've got a couple of options here. We can go for a fake out into the Reggie Aleccy, but does my opponent read that? You see, and just switch straight into the Tocall, maybe go for a sleep powder here. I think what we're going to do is go for a flablet. Read the Hald switch from the Reggie Aleccy here, I think, go for the flablets into the Venus or and get a tail wind up as well. I think the Reggie Aleccy's too threatened here to stay in. Yeah. Oh, it's interesting. It's P2, huh? Okay, I didn't expect that. Okay, but it's a nice play from my opponent. So no hard switch from the Reggie Aleccy. We could have faked out that slot and there's the Volt switch. And I'd imagine Glastriemi may make an appearance onto the field. Now, what we're going to have to do is utilize Tornadis before the P2 can set the trick room up because that's the thing that the P2 is going to definitely go for now. It's going to go for that trick room. Okay, and the Tocall coming in. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Okay, I think what we'll do is just allow the flablets is going to do some nice damage to this P2 as well with the Sunup. You know, that really helps us out a bunch. But we know my opponent's full Pokemon, which is also very nice. The one thing we could potentially do is go for the taunt and go for the max with Incineroar, you know? Or is it worth just keeping it for later maybe? Just I don't like to pull the trigger too early on the max, that's the thing. We could go, I just want damage into the Tocall really and the only way to do it is to probably get damage into it is going to be gone max darkness and then taunt into the P2 to stop that trick room. Worry about obviously an ally switch here, which mitigates our taunt to a certain extent because they can get around this play and then set the trick room up the next turn. The issue in doing that for my opponent would be though is that they would have a bit of an issue with the P2 taking too much damage, meaning it's probably would be in KO range the next turn. But ideally here what we want is to stop the trick room, prevent that, allow tornadoes to go down, get Reggie Dragoon to the field this next turn in our tailwind and start just firing off dragon energies because everything's kind of in range now for us to start chipping away at and this special defense drop as well on the Incineroar plays into this whole idea. Now the eruption coming out which is ideal because I guess it does take down the tornadoes which is what we want and Incineroar in a great position. And now we should be able to actually see Reggie Dragoon in action which is what we really want and this works out then this is great. I think we just got for another max darkness maybe this time into, where do we go for max flare? I think max flare into the P2 and we go for a dragon energy, yeah. Because I think with the P2 not being able to recover, do anything it feels like it may want to switch out and we may see a play where my opponent keeps the talk all on the field, protects it and switches the P2 out to something but doesn't look like we're gonna see that as a dragon energy, kind of take both down that would be incredible if we can see. Bye bye. The field, it's just like the delete button, it's the best, it is the best. I mean we're not gonna get the most out of our max move now but I'm hoping that I know depending on how the opposing Reggie Leckie's trained, if it's modest there's a chance that we could out speed it with Reggie Dragoon. It's not, it's gonna be tricky. We'll definitely out speed the Venus or this turn and we can go for a max flare into that slot so that's fine. Obviously we're not gonna out speed it with Incinero but we're not in any worry of getting knocked out here, not by a max quake anyway so we'll go for another dragon energy. We just need to jump on Reggie Leckie pretty much because a max flare will take down the Venus and the damage even if it stays on the field and protect will be enough to put it in range for the next turn hopefully with two Pokemon. We just need to take down this Reggie Leckie here. So we're gonna see Venus or I believe in the Pokeball. Go for it's G-Max. I don't think a dragon energy will take down a Venus or a G-Max Venus or I just can't see that happening. I mean if it does, I mean Reggie Drago here we are but we just need to out speed the Reggie Leckie which I'm not, oh what it actually out speeds everything. Okay, it out speeds at Drago. Doesn't do as much damage as we kind of, okay. So is that a slow, Reggie Leckie? Dragon energy should still do a good amount of damage. Okay, so we're still gonna get a good chunk of damage. Yeah, and now the max flare should take down the Venus or okay. Okay, underestimating how speedy this Venus always but we make quick work of it and now Reggie Leckie isn't gonna be able to do very much to what we've got left on the field because we can just drag and pulse to mitigate the HP loss that we're kind of relying on for the dragon energy. Obviously, one of those moves, a bit like eruption, a bit like water spout that you see on Kailga where more HP you've got the stronger the move is. We'll just go for yeah, a flare butt and a dragon pulse and that should do the job but at least we got to see Reggie Drago in action here. That's the main thing. As we've seen Electroball come out from the Reggie Leckie we do resist that being dragon and the dragon pulse here gonna be enough to take down this Reggie Leckie and wrap up this second game for us friends. So that is, that's a really nice game for us to feature along with our first one today especially with the Reggie Drago didn't feature too much in that first one so nice to get it here. And yeah, that is just chose the team and how well built it is and what a good team it is. So we'll jump over to the rental cord and we'll end the episode wrap up. So here is the rental cord my friends and once again just a big shout out to me, LucaVGC and a big happy birthday to you as well. Hope you've had a great day and I hope if you guys try this team out I would definitely recommend it. It's a very, very nice build and the Reggie Drago is not something to overlook. It's a very powerful Pokemon in the right conditions. You've got to be very careful if you're going up against fairy types of course they're immune and you've got no coverage here with Reggie Drago. It's one of the biggest drawbacks of it as a Pokemon in general. So what you want to be doing in situations where you're seeing fairies in front of you is making sure that they are the priority to take down. That's your win condition. Once the fairies have gone down, you've got a game plan where potentially Tornadis, Reggie Drago in the back and you can bring it in in the end game and just really just obliterate your opponent and just overwhelm them with the speed control that you've got from Tornadis and then that dragon energy boosted by the dragon fine as well as well as dragons more which is just incredibly strong damage and that's the end game. It's a bit like translating it to those older players that maybe you're not familiar with this format if you're playing pherathon, the win cone is getting rid of the fire type and then pherathon just wins out because it's just such a good Pokemon. Reggie Drago is a little bit different. It needs a bit of additional support in that speed control. So as long as you've got that next to it, you're gonna be fine but the rest of the team does an incredible job at dealing with the issues that Reggie Drago sometimes struggles with. You've got two ultra beasts here which deal with fairies. Like it's nothing, you've got Incinero which is a more offensive build which is really nice and then Urshifu which is just busting. This format so it's a really nice team and I'm really, really thankful that we got this share as well. So big shout out again and we'll wrap things up there.
