 Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our road to rank roulette series we kicked off in our last episode yesterday with this brand new team and you can see on your screen right in front of you we put the nominations into the wheel of fortune and this is what we ended up with in yesterday's episode so just to recap the team as always it's down in the description below if you would like to check it out and for some reason some fun reason try it out if you do try it out of course let me know how you get on with it what you think of the team but as we're gonna recap it before getting to anything we've got the Chameco we've got Sylvia and Articuno, Tapu Bulu then the original Necrosma and the Tarana type on paper it looks an incredible team and we got off to not a bad start yesterday didn't we one and one at the moment so if you missed yesterday's episode like go and check that out before coming into this one there's a card up there for you you can check out our progress yesterday it was two really good games and we saw Chameco do some incredible work in game one yesterday so hopefully we can continue that success on today thank you so much for all of the support that we've had so far in the video the comments and everything and all the nominations and new nominations will be going up in tomorrow around tomorrow's episode so keeping out for that I'll post I'll let you know in the video when that is up so you can go and get your nominations in for next week and remember tomorrow's episode will be when we can activate our bonus buttons we still have those in the bank we've got the legend maker they're a switch up and the randomizer so like Pinko said in our video yesterday he left a nice comment saying you probably activate all three buttons right now but I want to ask you guys going into tomorrow's episode what button if one or two or three would you like to see activated in tomorrow's episode we'll see what we can do to get one or maybe more of those activated to switch a few things up in the team going forward but without further ado the music is on we are ready to go so we'll just jump into it hopefully it doesn't take too long to find our first opponent today and we can get straight into this I'm feeling good though I'm really I really do love the team like I know it's not it's not cohesive it's not generically a good team on paper you wouldn't take this to a tournament but you might if you want to have a good time you would definitely have a good time with this I'm just hoping one thing we can get going today is that order Kuno and the calm the mind reader with the sheer calls tail way and set I think could be could be pretty good and it'll be a lot of fun if we can get it going today so that's my one big hope hopefully it doesn't take too long to find an opponent we are on a terrible rating but we're gonna be climbing up it's all right we're one-on-one at the minute things are looking good for the rest of the week especially if we activate the buttons we get some good other picks if we want of course and it should be quite good though and excuse the the cycling shirt I cycle to and from work now so I got like a seven seven-and-a-half mile cycle there and seven-and-a-half Michael's site cycle back every every day and yeah I've just got home and I needed to do today's episode so here we are I didn't really change I haven't had time to shower I needed to get this done so I was like I'll just sit down I hope you guys don't mind and gives you a little insight into how busy I am in the minute but it's looking like we're gonna take a little bit longer to find our first opponent then I would have liked so what we'll do is we will just cut this now and we'll come back as soon as we find that first opponent of today but hey coming away there we go we got a first opponent they just heard us and this looks like this looks like a very fun team and one that we recognize from a good friend Graham from Australia I think he finished second at the recent North American International Championships I think this is his team or a similar team to his so it'll be very good to to play against this and see how our team can match up against it okay so we've got the meta champ it's gonna be the mega of the team then you've got Lunala Kyogre we know how good and formidable that pairing is Lunala can have the speed control there the tailwind to support that Kyogre predominantly it can go trick room as well and but we and in this team you're gonna go tailwind aren't you and then you got the Tepacoco the Lele with the terrain controls there and then I legal that gives a lot of coverage against things that give this team a really hard time so what are we gonna do and I think the the Lunala is a bit of a problem because we've got the tea tall to cover it but the one thing that is a bit of an issue is the Medichamp that gives us a lot of issues I'm gonna lead Sylveon and I'm gonna lead Tyranitar because of the Tepacoco the Kyogre and the Tapu's I'm definitely bringing Bulu here and I think do we want Chameco or do we want Nacrosma and Nacrosma feels like the better one to bring here and so that's where we're gonna go and let's get into it good luck to my opponent we've got no speed control but who needs speed control when you've got things like assault vest Tepabulu and Carmine Nacrosma and Scarfed Sylveon Scarfed Sylveon we can wreck that Medichamp there we go there's the lead there's the lead okay so this isn't too bad if things work out we're gonna see a fake up from somewhere for sure it's gonna have to be into that Tyranitar I would imagine we'll probably see well I'm gonna hyper voice no I'm not gonna hyper beam I'm gonna hyper voice and I'm gonna mega evolve and I'm gonna crunch like if the Medichamp doesn't fake out Sylveon here then like if it doesn't fake out the T-Tar you would imagine it fakes out the T-Tar to protect the Lunala but it might just attack thinking I'm faster I'm faster faster faster not expecting the scarf from the Sylveon like who would expect Scarfed on the Sylveon we could get a double knockout here we don't see the fake out if it's not utilized we can really punish my opponent because a hyper voice will take down this Medichamp let's see come on pray for it guys no fake out hyper voice can we get it okay there's a tailwind there's the tail one come on T-Tar let's show your muscle let's get rid of this Lunala the Shadow Shield is burst so we're definitely picking up the knockout here my opponent's probably sitting there thinking what what what just happened scoffed Sylveon who plays scoffed Sylveon we do heck yeah okay so this is this is this is how we want it to always go but we're not gonna get ahead of ourselves because how many times last week have we been in this situation where we're like ah things are going great things are amazing for us and all of a sudden things go really badly for us so we need to we need to just take our time here's try and stall out this tailwind that's the big thing preserve our tapaboo loo and try and get rid of that Nailigo because that's that's the big the problem at the minute right do we just bring in the cross map no because no cross my can do decent stuff against I might sack Sylveon here and just go for a hyper voice we'll probably lose Sylveon to a combination of attacks or do we do we do we do we cuz Sylveon could be good late game to come in especially with the hyper voice we're gonna see a sludge bomb here I'm gonna bring in the cross map and I'm just gonna protect Tyranitar we might lose necrosma here we may lose necrosma it's just we're lacking protect like like pretty much all over the team acid spray especially when a water spout's gonna come out right now yeah we're done for there's no way we take a minus two waterspout from a kayoga I wonder if it's is it scarf Nailigo it won't be scarf Nailigo no way let's bring in Bulu this is like this is the this is the one where it's like this is not going so well because a water spout gets teetown no matter what like there's no way we take a full-pile waterspout hmm do you acid spray the Bulu I think we could probably take an acid spray we're probably better off wood hammering the Nailigo though than the kayoga are we no we're not we're definitely not we're better off wood hammering the kayoga and going super into the Nailigo in case there's no way you protect here though acid spray again do we take an acid spray and the water I don't think we take an acid spray do we nah not even with a salt vest I don't think so somehow Bulu might do it no man this is where the team kind of falls apart a little bit I get celebrating like too early on we're so weak we needed to definitely bring a trick room here but then against that lead I don't know how we yeah I don't know if we could afford to do that I mean T touch and echo could we have done that we can't we can't do anything now we can try and hyper beam we're just gonna get acid sprayed though and waterspouted once again oh no we're not we're not gonna we're not gonna see that we're gonna see Kyoga protect and there's the acid spray this time super effective at least we can get a hyper boom off and we might be able to get the Kyoga because the tailwind does is it so when pit it out oh well yeah yeah it's out now I don't kind of understand that protect there but I guess you want to just get scout out what the Sylveon's gonna do I guess but we'll see what a hyper beam does to this Kyoga be nice if it killed I don't think it does Kyoga's too bulky too too much this should take us down okay okay okay we get carried away again and it all happens but I mean very fun game very fun game so cubing away or cubbing away very good game to you my friend a nice team as well very nice team yeah just we needed trick room 100% uncategorically needed trick room and it's yeah there's no there's no argument it's just against that Lunala Medichamp lead what do we do there because if we lead Chameco we get faked out tailwind gets set up I mean if we lead Tito you get faked out and then you probably get Z moved they probably don't set the tailwind up straight away so and then the next turn so we don't get the trick room up regardless it's kind of difficult when we don't have fake out or redirection in our team to help us get this trick room up and this is what you kind of when you're looking at building hard trick room teams you kind of always need these these texts to support ways to get the trick room up and or have really solid options against the common things in the format to really put on offensive pressure to split decisions where opponent has to split their decisions so you're gonna get a knockout and this is like the hyper offensive side of it with a trick room switch so you're either gonna get a knockout where they can shut down that knockout potentially but if they do that then you set up the trick room and then you're you're good to go forward or or they stop the trick room set up and then they lose something that could potentially be the thing that helps stop that trick room the next turn so it's a bit of a double-edged sword but it's hard finding those options when we've we've got a wheel of fortune deciding our fate but we're not gonna let it get to us we've got an ex opponent same call isn't it but we'll see how we can get on against this one we know our lessons from the last one let's get into team preview so Sara is an ex opponent running a team of Tabukoko, Tabukfini, Kyogre, Metagross, Lunala and Snorlax so you would imagine here rather than a tailwind variant which it could be it could be tailwind I would say it would be more trick room or we could see something like an explosion Snorlax which wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if I'm completely honest I think we need to have a way to get around that Kyogre for sure so having some sort of trick room we 100% need and maybe Articuno could be good here we haven't brought Articuno yet so Articuno I'm gonna bring yeah I'm gonna bring Articuno we've got to be careful around the Tabukoko and the Metagross but we're gonna feature it we'll go Articuno we will go Articuno and we will go what's that other one Sylvian it's not faster than Tabukoko though that's the problem we could go for Chameco yeah let's go Chameco let's go Tabubulu that we're gonna need and let's go Nakhrozma as well because we need our restricted right we need our restricted only having one restricted it's kind of tough we've been pretty lucky though with the wheel I mean at least we're getting one restricted in like the last two weeks we've we've spun the wheel at the start of the week and we've had a restricted both times last week we've got the Sogaleo which was which is really nice to put in a lot of work this week we've had obviously the Nakhrozma sorry I'm just looking gormlessly at the the Tabukoko Snorlax lead from my opponent thinking about what we can do I'm gonna switch out Articuno I'm gonna bring in Tabubulu and I think what we'll do could we go for blind hypnosis into the Snorlax let's try it let's try it let's try it I could just protect Chameco here but I don't really feel too threatened with what my opponent's gonna do and I kind of want to shut down what the Snorlax is about to do could go belly drum should not be so good so if we can try and stop that that would be great there's a t-bolt oh I'm gonna avoid the the old Articuno and just go straight for the Chameco we'll get the blind hypnosis Chameco is just a badass Pokemon isn't it it's just so good so good and okay let us go for a hmm do we just horn leech a wood hammer wood hammer horn leech hmm we could superpower the Snorlax I'm gonna nature's madness the Snorlax just to get some nice damage onto it and I think what we'll do is could we get it I don't really want to get a trick room up when the Snorlax is on the field that's the only thing but I feel like if we're gonna go trick room it's probably our only time to do it now although it's it's pretty pretty dangerous I'm just gonna go hypnosis into the Cocoa slot yeah we'll go for that voltage okay fine fine fine not doing too much Chameco's actually not like too bad bulk wise either it can take hits it can definitely take hits what comes in if we can put whatever comes into sleep that'll be nice and if Snorlax stays asleep it's a sleeping Pokemon I love sleeping it's definitely gonna take three turns asleep and the Metagross coming in okay it's fine nature's madness yep we did it great stuff do we proc a berry we probably do oh just above oh we miss but the thing is like metagross does put a lot of pressure on to the type of blue now and the Snorlax actually has left of us interestingly enough hmm could we bring in the Cosma now it's probably better to take an iron head I guess and yeah we'll go for another hypnosis yeah kind of indicates maybe the Snorlax isn't a belly drum so well it's definitely not a belly drum set if it's got leftovers make more sense if it's like a curse lacks potentially gonna see typical come back in try and get around this it moves this spam from Chameco and probably Biden it's time until Snorlax wakes up to be honest we do get blocked by yeah there's the the work of fire punch coming out into the okay not gonna do too much but because of the leftovers it's getting all that help back that you got with that nature's madness so I think it's a good time now just to get a calm mind up with it and across my mobile bring a type of blue back in for this Chameco keep Chameco around for later because once we get rid of the Snorlax that's when we can set a trick room up and we can potentially do some stuff like we know the type of cocoa we're gonna be under speeding in the trick room the Metagross as well when it's probably Kyogre in the back and so my opponent that's probably why they brought the Metagross makes sense so you've got a way to check the boo-boo that threatens there the the Kyogre so hard but maybe it's Lunala who knows but we get the calm mind up with Anna Krosma gonna see the fire punch from the Snorlax it's gonna be into our boo-boo doing a bit more damaging we would have liked and picking up the burn there that is devastating and we're gonna see a roll from the cocoa just waste all that time okay oh that burn is really really frustrating like really frustrating I need to get rid of the cocoa to be honest that's the Pokemon I need to get rid of okay let's get the Krosma back in and let's just go wood hammer into cocoa and hope that we can get some damage onto it the boo-boo is pretty useless to us now other than the terrain it's not useless to us but it's not really gonna be putting on the offensive pressure like we needed to we're gonna see Gigavolt Havoc now come up from the cocoa it's likely gonna be into that Articuno slot and if boo-boo hadn't been burnt would have been so much better we could have like horn leech the Snorlax every turn or just target it down this cocoa because Articuno gave us this like a surefire way to deal with the so much damage at least we proc that berry though so get all that health back really again they get this wood hammer off into cocoa and still still do a respectable amount of damage for sure in the fire punch now coming out and that will pick up the knockout but we can get Chameco back in I guess probably get a trick room up and go for an earth power into the cocoa which would be able to get rid of it and if the Metagross comes in that slot then the only thing is we lose boo-boo now which was a good answer to Kyoga but that means we're gonna have to rely a little bit more on our Articuno and uh she cools can we get a blind hip narcissist onto the Snorlax maybe I'm gonna just earth power the cocoa and I'm gonna hypnosis this Snorlax see if we can hit once again third time lucky maybe bolt switch yep if it's a Metagross coming in that's I don't mind that too much at all because two earth powers should get it might be the Kyoga you know maybe I know it's a Metagross it's not mega either a minute so probably would take a little bit more damage not to being mega but maybe that was the turn where we went for but I mean if we get the hypnosis here which we do I mean it pays off massively doesn't it pays off massively so um hmm yeah and this grassy terrain really helping out with our recovery and we should be able to get the Metagross now with an earth power the Snorlax is just sitting here just getting its health back but I don't really mind it sitting there doing all of that in the minute do we trick room now because we could trick room potentially Z trick room just the Snorlax are being out an amazing place to start taking us apart hmm I don't know if I want to we probably do want to trick room actually because it gives us a surefire way to get rid of okay this probably works out really good if the Metagross and attacks the Jamaica obviously that that makes a big difference and okay actually speed I don't know what it was gonna be doing so we are gonna be able to get our trick room up you know that Snorlax is gonna have a guaranteed sleep no it's gonna it's slept once okay so you're gonna get a trick room oh we should a Z trick room we're fools we're fools but it doesn't matter really because now we've got a Z move that we can we can utilize actually which isn't as bad it's actually Lunala hmm hmm okay um oof oof oof indeed and we I think we have to calm mind and go for the psychic Z the Shedded Psyche into the Coco now we couldn't nab the Kao onto Mungus but the Coco who is like such a frail Pokemon anyway it's below half health you've got to think that we are gonna be able to at least pick up a knockout from here come on Jamaica let's do this let's get revenge for that among us yesterday can we do it come on yes yes Jamaica for the wind oh okay we get the car mind up it puts us in a little bit more better position not the best though we still got Articuno to come in our secret weapon we still got Articuno where are you going Lunala with this attack please be into Chameco come on okay I mean we take that pretty well don't we take it it's not bad the Lunala feels like it's gonna be very difficult to deal with but we're better off I think yeah earth powering the Lunala we can psychic it as well we cannot I mean one of the things we could potentially do well we're probably better off just breaking a shadow shield with a psychic and then getting an earth power into it don't like to woke up no oh come on snorlax sleeps one turn sleeps every time every time okay we're gonna have to rely on some sheer cold action but we still got the trick room still up which isn't ideal at all please hang on the cross map please hang on three three HB okay okay now can we how many turns have we got left I don't know if we're gonna be able to mind reader this we got two if we can get a share called into that Lunala now I'm gonna protect and I'm gonna share called I mean I could just go double protect and then the trick room to the next turn forget no no no no no no let's just do this don't mind reader though it's just whether or not we're faster than the Lunala I don't think we're gonna be that's the thing I'm gonna have to look in I don't I think I've double protected too much time wasting I can't make my mind up yeah we double protect okay I mean it's not the worst thing in the world it is if we see okay fire punch and guys beam okay not the worst not the worst but not the best either we would have been better going for a share called there into Lunala and okay let's have no fear let's have no fear let's go for a photon geyser into the Snorlax and go for a share called into Lunala yeah I'm gonna be sad if the Lunala's like slower than that Articuno oh we get burned what that every time every time the Snorlax burns everything okay there's a photon guys and do nice damage night days okay come on share called please hit please hit please hit please hit come on no but we're faster than the Lunala which is annoying because we could have went for that mind reader okay I'm gonna have to I think the fire punch probably takes us down with the burn that's my only gripe so we've got to go for the share called into the Lunala and hope every time every time that time it would have hit as well and gets us and that is the end to that it could have been such a fairy tale ending but the Snorlax with its hot fire punches kept burning everything I'm not gonna put it down to that obviously it did ha it did hurt I tap a boo-boo for sure and the Articuno we're playing the guessing game they like max speed Lunala which kind of would expect it to be without speed us and unfortunately it didn't we could have went for the mind reader and then the the share called the next turn but we didn't go for that so we didn't end up winning I'm very sad I'm very sad because we could have had a nice win there but we'll just continue on tomorrow maybe we activate some buttons like I said earlier guys if you'd like to see some of those buttons activated tomorrow do let me know down in the comment section below and we'll make sure to get those activated and maybe switch some things up or we keep with this team for at least one more day and we see if we can get this Articuno gone but that is that have a great rest of your day thank you so much for tuning in guys remember to drop a like if you enjoy the sort of content do
