 Hello friends, welcome back to another episode here on the channel, I hope you're all doing great and for anyone new to the channel my name is Lee also known as Osiris and in today's episode we're going to be continuing on with our VGC Series 8 content and before we get into the details of the team I just want to say we are playing another rental code today but if you have a rental code of your own you'd like to see featured on the channel do drop it down below just a quick description just the Pokemon that's in it and the rental code would be enough and I would love to feature it on the channel obviously if I don't feature it straight away don't get too downbeat I will try and make my way through any team that is posted as soon as I can so getting on to today's team it is a bit special for a couple of reasons we've got a Mewtwo here it's not a very common restricted Pokemon we see played in the format the minute so for that reason alone very exciting and I know there's a bunch of you out there that would have requested a Mewtwo team played on the channel so hopefully this fills a little bit of a void for you there and the other reason it's very special is because this team has actually been made by the 2017 world champion who's just recently posted on their Twitter line that is Ryohto or Tubo very exciting series 8 team you can see the Mewtwo has weakness policy makes sense because you've got the screen support from the Grim Snarl you've got a very nice tech between the Grim Snarl and Regie Alecki where you can go suck a punch assurance and get a little bit of a boost and I'm sure the assurance is something that you can use on your own Mewtwo to proc that weakness policy as well got psychic seed with the psychic search tapulele there just to boost those special defenses which is great got a really good trick room check in Gigalith to come in with the life orb so it's going to be hitting super hard wide guard support there is really nice and then the anti which kind of helps out against a bunch of things and it's a really annoying Pokemon in this format especially with that assault vest so there's a rental code if you want to try it out for yourselves I hope you have a lot of fun with it Ryohto's socials I'll all be linked down in the description if you want to check out his Twitter and other socials just give them a follow he's a great guy and obviously a great team builder and don't worry if you don't pick up the rental now I'll be throwing it up at the end of the episode so we'll have a couple of games of the team will play it see how it feels talk it through and there hope you enjoy it and then we'll throw the rental up to finish on okay so first up today we have a team of Kyogre Tornades Incinero Amungus Kartana and Regie Alecki so it's pretty much your standard Tornaga kind of build that we're seeing played at the minute we've seen it all series 8 and I don't think it's going to wear anywhere soon looking at the options on the team you've got the consistency of the tailwind on the Tornades the Kyogre that will just take advantage of that tailwind you've got the fake out intimidate support from the Incinero the trick room kind of cover from the Amungus and redirection support that I caught on your late game Pokemon to come in benefits from the rain and then Regie Alecki another former speed control and just a very fast option on your opponent's team so what are we gonna do what are we gonna do here I think Grimmsnall Regie Alecki is not bad I mean we get our screen support up and there can take advantage of Regie Alecki do lots of stuff that we need to I think the big key is still not the trick room turns if we can which is always always going to be really beneficial and I think we'll go this this do you want Tapulele here hmm maybe not so much I mean the psychic season bad with the boost there that you get but I think I would probably lean more on on kind of these Pokemon in this match so gigalits always useful though you know to change the weather and the why God supports good but you know when we haven't got a trick room mode of our own to kind of benefit from it directly things like Amungus and definitely Cartana causes all sorts of issues so it doesn't feel like the most favorable thing whereas anti can come in and cause all sorts of issues especially if we can remove the Kyogre pretty early on which is gonna be like a big key for us here you know so Kyogre hitting the field tornadoes we have Thunder Wave which is always really nice I think light screen makes a lot of sense straight away for us doesn't it I mean we do have the focus sash as well which is always useful and we could we could just like straight away just straight up electro web I don't think there's any reason like that would be a bad play because it'll take the the tornadoes down or take it to a sash and do a good chunk of damage to the Kyogre as well and we shouldn't go down well we definitely won't go down unless they double into us but even if they do with the light screen support okay we should be alright so real I don't mind this at all you know that just gives us an extra turn to kind of play around with double protect here and it's kind of yeah I mean because this next time we can just go for a Thunder Wave into the Kyogre and Thunderbolt I mean do they are inch and pulse or do they water spark here that's the thing you know the Electroweb is useful against the tornadoes because it just chips it down a little bit more kind of inclined to go for the Electroweb again just because the double damage that we can get yeah and we see the tailwinds which makes sense I guess that the the protect and warn us to kind of get around potential fake out that we have here and you don't want to max your Kyogre then it makes sense to make that play so you're gonna get the Electroweb off before the Kyogre can really do anything we do have a light screen up as well which is super useful tornadoes very threatened this next turn as well and the water spark won't hit as hard we've got the light screen up but oh my god oh my god it still does so much damage so much damage okay I think we go suck a bunch into tornadoes now and then we got Thunderbolt into Kyogre just to make sure because it's like a bunch you'll get the tornadoes and and then the Thunderbolt will get the Kyogre so we don't really need to worry about that any longer which is always useful but yeah that's that was about what's about just ridiculous isn't it you know it's taking it taking such a chunk of damage and still there's so much behind a light screen it's ridiculous but we're not in the worst spot ready like you're coming in and Cartana I think what we'll do is Thunderbolt Thunderwave the Cartana slot right down make it's not so much of a threat we've got two turns of tailwind from my opponent left haven't we I mean to get around like we could just protect here it's a little bit do I do I just go for an electric weather let it go down just if they max and then attack into us it feels a bit redundant to go for the protect but I mean they would knock us out anyway so I mean it's just to stall this tailwind out really like it's not really gonna matter too much against the the Reggie a lecky we'll see what this if it's a cartana going for the max here I would imagine it would be yeah just if we can paralyze this then it means that anti can come in and it pressures it's so much harder you know see they might go into the the Reggie a lecky here and imagine that's probably what they do but although they may not as well they may just go electro web and when they go for the Thunderbolt into the Reggie a lecky so they may go and steal spike yeah okay and that will take us down which is unfortunate because we don't get our reflective but I think it's underway it might be more useful the beast boosts not ideal at all you to onto the field now yeah if we max me to our we need to stall out the that we need to stall out the yeah what we'll do is we need to stall out this tailwind and then I think if we protect this turn and then try an electro web that would be really useful if you get electro web off but I just don't see us being able to get an electric web off the problem is if the cartana gets another beast boost then it's kind of hard to handle you know and all the time that the the opposing Reggie a lecky has the electric web where it can kind of lower our speed and take advantage of us that way we might be able to get an electric web off which is I think a bit of an oversight for my opponent like in all honesty I think now me too it speeds everything so we can just nuke the Reggie a lecky the next turn they are paralyzed okay well that's tailwind ends we need to the big thing is here we need to remove the Reggie a lecky from the field which we'll be able to do I mean we could assurance as well might not be a bad play you know go assurance proc the weakness policy and then get rid of the Reggie a lecky and then me too sitting in a phenomenal spot against the cartana is plus one so we have to be a little bit careful around it but we do have anti to come in it will outspeed it as long as we can remove the speed control from my opponent side of the field then we kind of lock this game up though against cartana regardless of how many boosts it gets a bit unfortunate for my opponent that it was paralyzed that last turn so let's see what goes on is the assurance a nice little bit of chip damage there and it gives you it's a nice option because I think you do really have room for on Reggie a lecky when when you know still out speeds us after the draw okay miscalculation there okay and what's the cut on I mean we're still fine because the rain's gone and you still got anti and if me too can stick around here just about we've got the max flare the next turn so we can set up the sun as well for anti which is which is super nice and yeah caught on now not maxed definitely just yeah got no chances next turn unfortunately for my opponent so we'll go thunderbolt and we'll go max flare hopefully we can get the max flare off stealing stealing the thunder from that me too there but very good game to my opponent nice one for us to kick off with today seeing me to an action of course it's always a lot of fun and this team honestly feels really good it feels really good it's got a lot of nice options in it I know we've only had one game with it but you know you get a feel sometimes for a team that's the thing so we'll move on I'll find the next upon the episode okay next up we've got a team of Urshifu Raichu Katana Tornades Ludicolor and Kyogre so how are we gonna approach this one again regi like you're gonna be very useful we've got to be wary about the ludicolor with its fake out support and pairing up with that Kyogre and doing lots of things to disrupting kind of support the Kyogre pretty well to win support Raichu's a little bit awkward because of the the ability to kind of just disrupt Regi Alecki here which makes it a little bit more awkward than not having that inclusion so is it better off that we go I think it's green support can be useful always I think screen support Regi Alecki's always gonna be useful in this match I think the end site and then me too again I think are gonna be the the ones because it's lately gonna be really that useful I mean for the psychic train yes if the ludicolor decides to go down the fake out route but for the Raichu I guess but for those two odd occasions I don't really see it doing too much else other than giving me to a booster we technically don't necessarily need so today right so it's a lot of Kyogre kind of ludicolor on the ladder at the minute it's kind of something that's picking you can see it's picking up in it a bit of usage from from certain players on the ladder which is interesting and we got Raichu and tornadoes coming out for my opponent and there's always the option where we potentially just I don't really want to lose the sash on Alecki so I'm gonna protect this turn just to get around a potential fake out because you're kind of like to work here you know but yeah gone into the the Grim Snow you're gonna see tailwind just fine the kind of waste in the tornado when doing this anyway so a big job here is gonna be trying to get rid of the tornadoes as soon as possible I think with your electoral web here I don't really mind too much you get given the Raichu the boost it's likely to vault switch out anyway and if it does vault switch out then it means we've got an electoral web that you can utilize pretty freely and if they don't switch it out then they're stuck with tornadoes in Raichu on the field which is really not doing too much and just wasting their tailwind turns so we're kind of in an alright position and in all honesty they've got to kind of react and switch something in somewhere to make use of these tailwind turns because right now that neither Pokemon really do very much I could speak too soon in the Raichu could bop us but we'll see I see wind coming out breaks our sash yep which is fine and then the vault switch okay I will take that all day long because now Kyoga is gonna hit the field we're gonna be able to electoral web it and do some significant damage to this tornadoes as well oh it's cotton okay that's still not as bad you know and kind of preserving that Kyoga I think till the late very late in this game I think you're my opponent and okay well we'll sit on I think we'll go for a reflect while we got the opportunity to and we'll go for an electoral web again get rid of the tornadoes take away that take away the ability for them to be able to utilize tailwind which is always useful you know I think identifying in any team that you kind of playing against and whether they're the kind of key speed control supporters and then kind of prioritizing that so if we do get rid of the tornadoes here we only got one turn a tailwind to kind of stall out after this and then as long as Regi like he stills around which it should be should be after this turn unless we see the carton of max it might go full okay the right you come back in it's also not super bad and we are gonna give right you a free boost but great great great great great okay that's not ideal not really too much we can do about that we need to stall out this this tailwind okay what will do bring me to in oh we could suck a punch could suck a punch the carton is like plus one so we'll outspeed me to yeah let's bring in anti and let's just protect me to here I ideally want to be like on suck a punch max me to snipe the carton a Kyogre is gonna be in the back losing the Regi like he did there to the crit not ideal but it happens it happens you know it's a high crit chance move so we have to kind of deal with that see what we can do with our entire it's a pretty safe switching as well for anti here I don't think like if you're Cortana you you may go after them you too but it's more likely that you probably concentrate down on the Grim snarl because it's it's that support kind of option for us that's been a bit disruptive so and if anything you're gonna see a smart strike into that slot see what the right you does pick out okay it's fine blade into me too alright that's fine tailwind pit is out so we're in a good spot now we're in a really good spot because a secret fire get the Cortana right she's playing is the right you sashed potentially it'll be a solvest as well might be worth doubling into the right you know honesty and because we could snarl just the carton is at the beast boost so that's kind of what worries me a little bit and I don't want to get paralyzed from the right you like it goes for a nuzzle pretty screwed that's why an extreme speed into right you and then Max mindstorms probably the better idea okay imagine it's probably is it sashed I would imagine so don't know the tornadoes felt like it was maybe a little I don't know if it was bulkier took a lot of damage from that the electoral web but I guess if you've got right you and your team you're not as threatened by the electric type of tax and you've got fake out as well double fake out which helps so make sense that maybe the right you is the sash more and I don't know but whatever we need to make sure that we do remove it from the field because that's the biggest issue now the thing is with tornadoes coming back on the field is worth still not gonna be able to get up its tailwind so we're still not in a bad spot and we'll see a leaf blade here from the Cortana yeah thankfully because we're max we take that a little bit more comfortably no crit there as well which is useful and yeah we'll be able to extreme speed the tornadoes get rid of it before it can tailwind which is always useful even with the psychic terrain up because it's floating it doesn't really matter and we'll be able to get that max flare into Cortana and remove it from the field get the sun up even though it'll be overwritten when the Kyogre comes on to the field this is a beauty about anti you know that extreme speed just making sure that you know you've really been able to kind of punish those pranks the users if you get a little bit of chip on them earlier on and yeah yeah Cortana gonna go down pretty hard here and then Kyogre coming in but we'll be able to deal that pretty easily because we can snarl max bind storm and that should be enough to deal with it even though well max and probably go for the nuke on to the I don't know nuke the entire now you got you nuke to me too and said I didn't really worry too much although the consistent snarl abuse is pretty annoying so maybe go down that route maybe max mine storm for the Kyogre and we'll be able to pick up the knockout okay they are maxing yeah max flare might have been an option as well just to change the weather that plus snarl kind of puts us in a super nice position but see how much this does and see if we can take I mean we still got a light green up so us we're not like in a terrible spot you know the minus one Kyogre such a bulky Pokemon isn't it disgusting I love the whale it's so good not featured in enough really on the channel you know and they're gonna take a chunk yeah not not taking that any day of the week unfortunately we still got grim snarl they're kind of coming I think you can sucker punch ourselves I'm pretty sure we can because it's I'm pretty sure we can pretty sure we can I'm pretty sure we can to proc our weakness policy if you get your partner in Pokemon you can hit I don't think the psychic train affects that so we should be able to sucker punch our own me too hopefully it doesn't take us down that would be the worst because if it takes us down then I look like a fool I assume it probably will no no no we we are able to take it thankfully sweating so much then like it's gonna do a lot but me too able to do itself plus two in the psychic terrain able to take it down guarantee that knockout onto the Kyogre and pick up a second wind of the episode two really nice winds there today and show the different I guess like how the team performs against certain archetypes and stuff like that so kind of really nice to see in good games my opponent making them very difficult for us to to kind of play as free a game as we kind of would have liked so we'll wrap things up there we'll jump over and get that rental code for you once again just to remind you if you want to try this team up for yourselves right friends here is the rental code for today's team big shout out to Ryoto for actually sharing this with the online community and giving us the opportunity to play this team today it's been a lot of fun playing this me too team I've had like and I will be playing more of it because it's just one of those teams I think it's really interesting to see how it does and performs on the ladder and see how kind of high we can push it so I will be streaming this week I'll be interested to see how far we can kind of push it if you try this team out for yourself definitely let me know down in the comment section below I'd love to hear how you get on with the team and I'll wrap it up there friends so thank you so much for tuning in have a great rest of your
