 Hello friends and welcome back to another BGC 2020 Battle Series episode My name is Lee also known as Osiris and in today's episode We're going to continue on with our preparations for series 6 with a Durant team as you can see on the screen in front You've got Durant then we go got the tell Primarina, Arcanine and Mungus and Gigalith So we took a lot of inspiration from this team from a team report and team that was a very successful In an earlier format from look at me. He's done actually a really comprehensive team report over on trainer tower I'll link it down in the description below and I would recommend even All the players especially new players to check this team report out very cohesive and goes into depth on why He's chose the Pokemon why they work together in and the cohesion between each and every one of the members there And as you can see he's got the goth hotel Durant Milotic Tyranitar Arcanine Sylvia and obviously we can't have access to Tyranitar anymore And but a lot of the other members on this team are still available to use So if you check this out, maybe it will inspire you with them a Durant build of your own because Durant was very popular early on in the format But then kind of dropped off with a lot of new Introductions of Pokemon in series 5 especially so dropped off the usage stats a little bit But I think with a lot of the Pokemon that give it a lot of trouble gone now It's probably going to come back in a big way So it's important to understand that Durant is going to be a big threat And maybe it's something that you want to use as well going forward So it was primarily the reason why I wanted to feature on the channel and create a team for you guys So as always what we're going to do is have a couple of games And then I'll check up the rental team at the end of the episode if you're wondering if there's a Poker paste it is down in the description So check that out and as always if you do enjoy this sort of content Please remember to drop a like on the video does really support the channel Let's me know that you're enjoying this content And if you are new to the channel make sure you do hit that subscribe button and smash that notification bell So you get the notifications for when these teams coming up for our series 6 preparation are going up and live So to say we're gonna jump into it right now I'm really looking forward to using this team like the Durant is a Pokemon I think has a lot of potential and because I haven't used it for a long time It's been like series 3 maybe was last time I used Durant So it's been a while since I actually had a play around with it And it's gonna be a lot of fun So hopefully we find some opponents pretty quickly and we can get into a couple of good games today with it But I like I say I think Durant Especially with Cinderace kind of been removed from the scene I think Dragapult kind of helps with that as well Those faster threats aren't around anymore to give Durant a lot of trouble. So Makes it easier obviously in Cinderall kind of leaving the format as well definitely helps Obviously a big predominant fire type that we did see a lot of so We've got a lot of options now with Durant Okay, so we've got a first opponent playing a team of Arcanine Ryperia Dusklops, Dommanitan, Rotomwash and Amungus So it's nice to see a series 6 legal team I think there's more and more of them as we're coming on to the casual battle now ladder now So if you guys want to practice, it's probably a good place We're seeing more players playing these legal series 6 teams. Okay, can we need Durant? Maybe not because The Durant, the Dommanitan is probably Scarfed I would imagine on my opponent's team But we do have Bakeup from Gothetel to give us a little bit of room there and so we could go along those lines Got to be careful as always of the Amungus, but other than that, I think we'll be alright So I'm gonna go with Durant the Gothetel. I definitely want Primerina in this match and probably Amungus, I think helps us a bunch with the Rotom helps protect Primerina And it's got that if the trick room does go up We've got that spore as well that we can throw out from our end To help us against stuff like Ryperia because you've got that Dusklops Ryperia call there with potentially trick room and The the bulldoze weakness policy stuff. So We'll go with it. We'll go with it. We'll see what we can do in this first one here But Durant like I say I can't hype it enough. I do love Durant It's because I haven't really played it enough and I was earlier on reading through Lukamea's report and honestly It's so good. I would like I know I've said it earlier in the video and I'm repeating myself But I really would suggest that like and and definitely recommend you guys to go and check that out It's such a good report Okay, we've got Dommanitan and Rotom. So it's not about lead for my opponent, honestly They do threaten willow respond to the Durant of course with the the Rotom But the the Dommanitan for sure Is scary and so I definitely want to fake that thing out and probably want to just go for a max I mean do we go for max quick? It gives us a little bit more Durability against any special type attacks are coming out from the Rotom And they don't have a ground immunity out The only issue would be if we saw an ally switch from the Rotom which would be horrendously bad That would be the only thing That would be literally the only thing I think we're gonna go for steel spike into yeah, we're gonna go Steel spike. I don't need to risk it the defense boost is gonna be useful Especially if the right period comes out later on And then we can think about my squaking after this I just I'm gonna double in put all eggs in one basket against this Dommanitan I'm just praying that we don't see our life switch, which definitely was there was a great comment I don't know who it was in the last video said petitioned by an ally switch Or Pokemon in general. I'm totally behind that. Let's get on board with it. Let's start the petition Okay, so what we're gonna see we get the fake out into the Dommanitan, which is great I'm hopefully gonna be able to get rid of this threat. Yeah, we're gonna be able to know I like switch here Just just the fear of it was enough So we are gonna be able to remove it from the field, which is brilliant We get the fence boost as well on to go to tell Onto that Durand does worry me a little bit. We're giving this room a little bit too much room It could nasty plot here, which wouldn't be amazing, but it's not gonna be the end of the world if it does Yeah, we are gonna see that nasty plot. So it's probably gonna max its next turn and Which is the reason why we need to start trying to stack some of these max quake damage and you know It might have been better off to go for it there But you kind of understand the reasons why it didn't go for it in that first instance Do you see the arcanine coming it is gonna get the intimidate on to Durant Oh, it might be a good time now to honestly get our trick room up Just we could get trick room up now and then we are gonna be able to get to move this on to the field and Then put put stuff to sleep could go from max quake as well into the arcanine And what we have to face the facts that we're probably going going to lose Durant here and But I mean if we don't take the arcanine down, which I don't suspect we will do we could help in hand But I think in the long run. It's probably gonna be better if we sacked around and then We get a trick room up get a moongus onto the field put that rotten to sleep shut it down The likelihood is that we're gonna see The rotten probably attack into got the tail but with a special defense boost we should take whatever they kind of throw out at us and As we get that max quake into the arcanine like I say we could have help and handed the arcanine here But not okay. Well, don't need that don't need that Durant just actually Bodying arcanine, which is pretty amazing and we didn't expect it to take it down But there we go. Um, of course like I forget because incinerals much more like it's way better to Handling things then Then arcanine on the defensive side so you can calc quite easily like Incineroar to take the minus one tax from Durant but arcanine not so much Okay, so like I say we do lose Durant But at the same time we are able to get a trick room up, which is great And so depending on what comes in. I mean my opponent doesn't really have anything slower than a moongus and Other than that that they're on dust globs Which is fine and is the dust globs? Yeah, it's not gonna be it's gonna be the movie So that's that's all right, so we can just really disrupt what my opponent is trying to do here We've got primarine here in the back And they're probably likely going to put our got the tail to sleep I would imagine unless they're running like a super speedy a moongus Which wouldn't make so much sense in their team if you look at like that they're build They're kind of more trick room oriented with the right period of the dust club So makes sense to have maybe a very slow moongus in that build rather than the fast one So I don't think I got the tails gonna get the jump on it here So we might just end up with two sleeping Pokemon But hopefully like the main thing what we want to be doing here is just shutting down that road I'm stopping it from really Doing too much. I've actually seen it protect which is interesting Yeah, no no safety goggles there, which could have been super bad and we do get the psychic there into the protect and Trick room fully enforced now we can I think we've got for another psychic here We could go for a helping hand, you know, um The got the tails kind of important to us because if we lose the got the tail our ways with dealing with the Opposite moongus become a little bit awkward and We just got a hope that the the opposing Rotom doesn't wake up I think and like I say we could go I mean psychic might be good because we could drop the special defense Potentially and just go for a giga drain here Yeah, but they're using the spore on us This is where I like switch about honored coming, but I stand by not using our life switch I've got to try and set an example. So we get the giga drain into the road and the helping hand Obviously would have been a little more beneficial there for sure And There you go. It does take another nap. So that's the end of its max turns, which is perfect now I think what we could potentially do here is maybe switch in we could switch into premarina for sure. Um as we've got Really though We probably don't probably don't need to to be honest I think we'll just go for another psychic into it. We'll double into the Rotom here And hopefully the Rotom Snoozes for another couple of turns if you get the giga drain into the Rotom this would do a nice chunk It's got the citrus berry. If not, then we are going to be able to get it the next turn hasn't here So there's a slug from Special defense boost on the got to tell gonna help us out massive here We do take that turn of sleep and the Rotom actually stays asleep as well So that's that's massive for us that pretty much steals the game for us they're getting that additional sleep turn there and Moonga's shown why it's so good in this format as well, especially in that trick room environment Especially if you opponent has maxed their Pokemon and bring it in and shut them down quite easily if they've not got ways or means around kind of Stopping how preventing the sleep from your end So you drink gonna make easy work of that Rotom kind of pleased we didn't see the right period in this match up Honestly, it's probably the most The scariest thing as a prospect But the round putting in the work early on and I mean that made all the difference for us. So I think here with the dimension turn back to normal. What we can do is switch We'll go for the sidekick and you'll switch into primarily here. I don't suspect my opponent's gonna go for A spore into our among us, which is the main concern. They may go for a sludge bomb into that slot But if we can get from arena onto the field with got to tell and we can start doing a bit more damage It's just at the moment with our among us. We're not really going to be touching it, especially with giga drain So it's one of the choices you've got to make I think you really primarily only really got room for one attacking move on a movie It's honestly either sludge bomb or the giga drain Or energy ball as well as another option pollen puff as well I don't think you've got room for like to there because you need I think you need protect Honestly, I think you need obviously need rage powder for the redirection and this for as well It's just such a good utility not to use and as we see another sludge bomb coming out It is going to be into the Peruvian a slot here But with that assault vest We do take that a little bit better and actually get probably a bit more fortunate here getting a poison means that we can't be Put to sleep so kind of will take that for now and but the next Round of a damage from us should pick up this among us unless it has got a berry of course and just go for a moonblast and a Psychic but the got to tell obviously going to be one of the last last Pokemon standing here. Um Got to tell as well another Pokemon I feel with the the ban list being introduced has really benefited from that a lot of the threats in the format Have kind of gone and got to tell having a lot easier time So they can trap in a way more viable option as well I do have very fun perished trap team that I would like to feature And so if you guys would like to see that definitely let me know down the comment section below and I will I'll get that Up as soon as I can okay So we will move on but a nice way for us to kick off today with that big W and hopefully we can continue that and the next one And I'd like to be able to feature a few different elements of the team Maybe I think we've obviously got the the got to tell Durant going there in the first one But there are other mods to the team that we can kind of feature Like got a little glimpse of the primarina there But primarina I think with the assault vest is a good shout as well going into the early stages format Obviously with the energy ball that gives you the grass coverage which which helps a lot When grass types have been kind of nerfed so much going into this new series six. Okay, we've got NG NG up next playing Grim snarl, Porygon Z, Meowstick, Dracozalt, Flygon and Incineroar So I was gonna say it's kind of a legal series six team Except there's the Incineroar on the end which completely makes it illegal, but we'll go into it anywhere Let's see what we can do. Got the talent for sure. Let's go to rant Primerina is gonna be very good in this we need to be careful with the Dracozalt of course They probably got in prison meowstick, honestly, it would be my guess screens Grim snarl T waves probably an option there for them You could go you can live but the Flygon worries me quite a bit I think we're gonna have to really rely on Primerina Amungus here There's a better to bring Arcanine to be honest to this match like Arcanine Like offensively not really doing very much and more about the snarl for the PZ And then the Intimidate for the Dracozalt. I'm gonna really need it. That's the thing Okay, well, I'm just gonna lock in with the previous four, but I think there are definitely definitely Questions hanging over whether I should have probably went maybe Arcanine Amungus Especially if we see the PZ lead They do have the only thing that would make me not want to go down that route too much is because of the fake out options They do have which could make it very difficult for us to get Either a spore or a snarl off whereas at least this way we can max we can help in hand we can just nuke PZ if we want to do this first turn, which is which is always a good option here Yeah, we're gonna see meowstick It has got fake out has got a fast fake out as well So got to tell susceptible to that. So I think I'm just gonna go straight for that help in hand We're gonna go for The question here again is do we go for the max quick to get the special defense booster? Do we just go for the stab Steel spike and get a defense boost into the Porygon Z and you know, I'm just gonna go for the steel spike I don't mind. I'm not too sure on my calcs This is the thing the bad thing about not playing Durant not being a well versed around playing my calcs and understanding of Durant calcs as we saw in that last game like it wasn't expecting to pick up the knockout on two alcanine So that's something that you'll get more experience with playing a certain Pokemon and playing a certain call You learn the calcs and it's literally it's not because they don't understand the Pokemon of the team itself It's just literally because I haven't played What are like and I wasn't a prominent Durant player earlier on in the format either so we do max Durant here We are gonna see the PZ max as well. The worst case scenario here is that we lose Durant And we don't pick up the knockout onto the PZ and we lose the Durant. So we're gonna see the PZ max That'd be interesting to see if we can pick up the knockout there So we do get that helping hand which is gonna be the big thing to help us maybe pick up the knockout here Depends what this me asked it goes for does go for the fake out. So we are gonna see that into the Durant Interesting, maybe trying to break a sash there, but is this gonna be enough it is come on There we go. There we go. Well, there's sunlight coming in madness So sorry if I kind of come across a little bit bleached and my camera sometimes we see with the Sun and the clouds outside Makes me believe in white, but we do get the PZ. So That's that's huge and see this is the thing like if I was a bit more comfortable knowing my calcs here I would be able to say we'll get that a hundred percent of the time if we don't see like a reflect something in that situation Now we do see the Incineroar come on to the field another fake out user like I say one of the reasons why I didn't really want to leave the Amungus and The Alcanine in that situation just because the fake out at least with the goth the tell we do have ways around We'll go for Max quick helping hand Max quick into the Incineroar now problem is here if they attack the Durant They've probably got a way to they may survive this like I was talking about Incineroar in that previous match Oh, they go for the T wave. Is it gonna be enough to slow us down though? It has to be a really speedy Incineroar I think yeah, we're still gonna get the speed jump on it and we've done enough now And I think yeah to kind of close this one up now You can see how devastating Durant is and in situations like this and we still have the option this next turn to go for maybe a max guard And a trick room if you want depending on what my last my opponents last Pokemon is of course, and then we can use that maybe Paralysis to to our advantage there. So it is the Dragon's ult probably is gonna out speed us But it isn't max. We do have a defense boost And I think we can literally just go for another helping hand Max quick into the Dragon's ult Has it got fire fang I mean even if it ha if it has really like all boosted helping hand boosted everything boosted Okay Well, everyone's helping their hands out now Let's see Baldbeak into Gothital Fine Wow, and we're fully paralyzed that that really is not great That really sucks Okay, I mean the Gothital took that pretty well considering so we'll go for a trick room we'll go for a protect hopefully get the protect here and We'll be able to Okay, we're gonna see another helping hand they're going for the the Baldbeak again I think into Gothital out here, but hopefully we're able to get a trick room I mean you look you saw from the previous damage that we took that pretty comfortably They do actually miss you and oh they're gonna get is that the blunder policy it is boost speed And accuracy I think and but perfect time for us to get the trick room up now because we're definitely gonna get the jump on This drinkers all and set everything else up coming in later in this game So we'll do we'll just go for that sidekick and we'll go for stomp and tantrum that should be enough To get the drinkers all to hear that combination I mean like it just helped Saves us a little bit not going for the helping hand because you can see if we go all in on a helping hand Stomping tantrum here, and we are paralyzed waste a turn from both Pokemon at least here We're gonna be able to get hopefully a psychic off and then the stomp and tantrum We do see the thunder wave now come out from the meow stick and it is yeah We're not paralyzed so we are able to pick up a knockout onto this drinkers all and there's a stomp and tantrum We don't miss which is ideal which is enough and that kind of wraps up the game because meow stick probably hasn't got an offensive Option here and it kind of appears like it's more of a Just a supportive option, but Durant got to tell again done a huge Number on my opponent's team and Durant picked up pretty much every knockout here Against my opponent so far so hopefully you can make it a clean sweep, but we're gonna see the battle cancelled So friends that is two wins two great examples of got to tell just the power of got to tell Durant So hopefully you've enjoyed that hopefully it's beneficial Hopefully it's inspiring some ideas for you going forward in this format like the whole idea behind these These early preparation videos is to help you guys get into the new format get you ready get your ideas and understanding of what Pokemon will be Prominent and used by other players who gives you a little leg up getting started in this format So I'm gonna do the rental team for you guys now. I need to take down Team sad I have to take down mud still have to It is a series 6 5 team So it's not really relevant going forward anymore You know mud still probably one of my favorite teams from series 6 and we'll throw up the Durant We'll check it Go and then we'll make it public didn't really get to see the gigalith today But the gigalith does give you a nice dimension nice option against Sun teams if you do see them Especially just get your trick room up You've got nice options with the redirect to always kind of get that up with got to tell there And then get gigalith in and start doing some work. So there is a team my friends. I hope you enjoy it There's a rental code there. There is a poker piece down in the description below So I hope you've enjoyed it if you try this team out and definitely let me know what your thoughts are It's ready to go for when that new rules is implemented next Tuesday on the ladder So and if not plan the casual ladder take the poker piece going showdown try it out and see what you like It might inspire some ideas or you might like this build But either way, I hope you've enjoyed today's episode just a quick reminder to drop a like on the video Do support the channel if you're new do hit that subscribe button.
