 Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our Pokemon VGC 2019 battle series I hope you all well had a great weekend. Thank you so much for tuning in I hope you're ready to go with some more Pokemon action today as you can see there's Monday and we have a new team to take forward this week on the channel and because We are moving into a new series next week, which is going to replace our daily battle series just for Temporarily until the season ends We will be having a bit more fun on the channel this week where I personally decide what team we play rather than you guys That are going to have the opportunity to decide going forward from next week when we start our road to rank roulette series Which is going to be hopefully a lot of fun and something you guys are really going to look forward to and get behind and get involved with and The little perks and little changes and rules and things that we've got involved with the whole series I think we'll keep it really fun and really fresh and just a lot of fun and entertainment going forward So I'm really looking forward to it. I'd love to hear your opinions on that going forward and Getting on to today's team. Obviously, we've got Lunala once again We've played Lunala the last couple of weeks on the channel But it's going to be a little bit different this week because we have went down a more retail wind route with Lunala the last couple of Weeks and we've got two teams to feature this week before we end up and go into our new series next week So the team today that we're going to be featuring is going to be Lunala Megamorwhile Mungas, Kyogre, Tabukoko and Incinero And it's really going to be a very trick room orientated team with the trick room set up in the Lunala You've got support options with that and Mungas for redirection there It's going to be also very good in trick room if we can get it in that situation Megamorwhile Obviously very slow mega Pokemon that loves trick room So if we can get that in trick room We've got the Kyogre support with the rain there to help it out Tabukoko going to be more of a faster variant and something we can utilize for the faster side of the team We've got hidden power water on it We've got life orbs so we can snipe those Primal Groudon's unexpectedly especially in the best of one format I feel like that can work quite well and it's got the quick pivot as well as we've got a slow pivot with that Incinero, Fakeout and Intimidate support there as well Team is always down in the description below There's a roll paste and a poker paste Try it out if you would like and if you do as always do let me know what your thoughts are on the team And then getting on to the second team that we'll play later in the week So today tomorrow and for one game on Wednesday to keep everything even We'll play this team and then moving on to Wednesday's episode The second part of Wednesday's episode we'll move over to this team And I need to give a big shout out to Fabian and big VGC who has provided me with this team I saw him playing with it, and I thought this is incredible. This team looks amazing So it takes a lot of boxes for what you guys have requested as well Keeps with the Lunala theme as well, and we've got mega low puny mega more while there We got Gastrodon as well that we've seen do so well the recent Japanese national championships and then Tabakoko and then the other side of the coin is Primal Groudon rather than Primal Kyogre So a really nice kind of reflection on both sides of the coin here with both of these teams But we're not gonna be kicking off with this team this week So we'll keep that one for later in the week keep that anticipation going and we'll kick off with this one today So as always guys if you do enjoy the sort of content Please remember to leave a like on the video do subscribe to the channel for more Pokemon content Which there will be a lot more of coming up in the future and also As always leave your comments down below we'll get some music on and we'll get started So information about the Rotorank roulette series that we'll be starting next week We'll be going up on the channel So do keep an eye out for that all information about it will be there and time for you to start nominating Those Pokemon that you would like to see featured in a crazy random team Spun and decided by a wheel of fortune will be going live either today or tomorrow So get those nominations coming in and we'll do the draw on Saturday Sunday time for the team for the following week and I will explain everything in the first episode as we kick off next week Which will be as I keep saying a lot of fun. I hope it's gonna be a lot of fun. I feel like it will be I feel like it gives us a little bit more a Bit of a freshen up in VGC because we've had and we're kind of coming to the close of the season now We've got like us Nats this weekend and then you've got the world championships obviously But aside from that we're kind of in limbo with we don't know what's happening next season So I feel like this is kind of something it's gonna give us a little bit more entertainment going forward And we'll be a lot of fun. We'll be a lot of laughs. I can assure you that but got a first opponent of the day So we'll hop straight into team preview More of that psychic span from last week, but this looks like oh it looks very familiar It's not exactly the same as David Parton's team that he won the Bristol regional Championships with but he does have a mock a merc roll this person and no tap a cock although and tap a lele there instead We've got dawn wings and a cross we've got tap a lele growl on incinerole mackerel and the Smiggle so what are we gonna do trick room here gonna be really good for us, especially a Kyoga. You can get Kyoga and In a trick room, it's gonna be good without weather up. I think that can do a lot of work I Probably feel like I want a moongah support more than anything. It feels a little bit clunky, but at the same time Having the redirection to allow us to get the trick room up around that micro that has pranks that has taunt That could be a little bit problematic could be good I'm a little bit wary about the smiggle as well And you know what I think tap a cock was probably the thing to bring here Lunala, let's bring Kyoga and Do we want more while here more as good outside of ground on So I'm gonna bring it. I'm gonna bring it. We're gonna lock in and do it Gonna bring the big guns to this first one today. I'm excited to use mega more while as well It's like one of my favorite megas. Obviously I had a lot of success with it in the 2014 season So I have a lot of love for it. You know, it took me to top it of world that yeah So I'll never leave that that mantle in my head anyway in my heart So it's nice to bring it back. It's the first time we've used it this season as well So I'm hoping with the road to ranked roulette series that we'll be able to throw it in a few more times That'll be that'll be a lot of fun. We're gonna seen a cross man We're gonna see sneagle come up my pond and so we've fallen into the trap the trap that we are gonna get locked Into where they can switch into up a layer of this first turn and Either go for an attack with dawn wings or they can go for spore into something and this is why I having Mean They like you to do fake out the type of cocoa definitely definitely an option here What do they just spoil I don't really I'm not too sure if we can go for I'll go for the trick room I'll go for the trick room and I'll go for the volt switch out onto been across my I Do feel like Lele comes in here though. This is the trap to be okay. We're gonna see it just to follow me I kind of don't mind This as long as our Lunala sticks around we'll take the smiggle down to its sash and we get a tail wind up I mean that that would be ideal really wouldn't it? We'll get more while it onto the field I don't want to bring Kyle gone yet because I want to wait until like brown on Comes in and then we can switch in disrupt their weather More else still gonna be the sloth thing in the field no matter what happens here We're gonna see the reversal of the trick room so my opponent trying to go for a cream as well. So that's interesting Yeah, so whether or not they kind of scouting that we're going for the trick room or not. I'm not sure Okay, let's size shock the smiggle And I really want to suck a punch, but we're not gonna be able to suck a punch if Mmm, like the smiggle definitely just follow me easier follow me all day long. Don't you I Don't know if my opponent is gonna set the trick room Do mega-revolving sucker punch mega-revolving play rough I'm gonna mega-revolving player off Because I don't like I don't want to suck a punch and just have a dead turn for more while Yeah, if we play rough the size shock if we do see the follow me which we do the size shock should pick up The knockout and then the player off will go into the dawn wings And if it does decide to set up trick room, then that's fine. I don't mind May not though. We do get rid of the smiggle Gonna see a Z move. Yeah, so it's gonna actually be going into Yeah, we couldn't have suck a punch here. I guess one thing that we could have potentially done was switched out Okay, so until Nala does pick up the knockout there bit of a shame We lose a little Nala so freely, but we do get the play rough into that slot and Wow, oh Crit I feel kind of bad for my opponent. What's that happening? Well, now we get to have a co-coin Depends what this ground on build is as well if it's a trick room build ground on then It's gonna be tap a lily. There's the ground on big bad ground on Hmm Psychic train activating Scott Lele Could we make the the cheeky play switching Kyle Garen hidden power water ground on I Feel like I Feel like I need to do it. I'm gonna just do it. Let's do it. Let's try Unless I'm getting confused with the trains. I don't think I am this shouldn't be scoffing I Do get all going so that's Obviously the weather was good. Yeah. Yeah, so we're not they should pick up the knockout life orbs Yes, Coco the ground on killer There we go, so we should be able to wrap this one up skills. What coming out not gonna really work Unfortunately and Coco we can just fall switch out and scald and we may see A forfeit here because things aren't looking too good for my opponent I mean the big thing in this match for us was there the critical hit on to the the dawnlings We play rough definitely wouldn't have picked the knockout there. I don't think so. So and I Don't feel a little bit bad for my opponent in that respect. It did kind of close the match up a lot easier for us I would have been interested to see without the crit how we would have been able to Maneuver around there and we're getting rid of the smeagol does open the door for us to suck a punch in things like that So and we might have been alright. It might have been a bit more difficult But who knows at least we've got that in power off I put it on there and thought are we ever gonna use this but first game in and we're getting going with it All right music music music music elite for elite for I really hope we've had lots of news with sword and shield over the last couple of weeks obviously because of the Direct and then e3. I really hope I did touch on it in my sword and shield kind of hope video for hopes That we we have a different set up to the elite for or an end game to become the champion of the region It would be amazing. We'll get into that more another time because we need to concentrate on this We've got an ex opponent. So looks like they've got a good team as well. So a hop straight over into team preview Okay, our next opponent is running an I Can't even talk. It's an XY team. I want to say x-ray for the for the most time, but it's x y Here we go a beltel and zonius then we've got spawncast or ferrathorn We've got the villain a villain has till wind rage powder does have things like powder as well You need to watch out for spore as well. No, it doesn't have sport has sleep powder though and then you're gonna have the mega of the team gonna be Gengar gonna have to watch out for that trapping from that side of things and Then lander's theory and wrapping things up with that intimidate support Compliments the XY kind of combination quite well Trick room here gonna be really good for us again. We do need to be a bit careful around that ferrathorn here So in center all really gonna be very strong in this matchup for us I do want to lead with it and I think I'll lead in center or and Lunala Do we want kaoka Geogra, I think we probably do more while it's gonna be amazing if we can get trick room set up here and Like yeah, and yeah, let's go kaoka I mean it could go on moongus, but it's not really offering too much outside of being able to put things to sleep So yeah, I think we'll be alright. I think we'll blow it out It's just getting around the beltel that does put on a lot of pressure to our Lunala, of course But with intimidate support and fake out support We might be able we might be alright to get around it So let's see how we get on with this one today It's nice seeing these variations of team and I think that's one of the beauties about the ultra series You know you see so much versatility there's so many variations of teams that are viable and combinations that work together But yeah, we're not gonna we're not gonna have all of these Pokemon going into sword and shield Which I've got my own opinions on I am gonna do some sword and shield and Like my opinions on on the announcements of the the national decks and stuff like that So I'll leave that for then rather than flood this video of it because we're gonna see Gengar any belt will come out from my opponent. I think There's nothing wrong with us going. I mean the only thing we've got to worry about is if this Gengar goes for Goes for taunt that would put us in a bad position going into the next game But then we're not in the worst position because if we do Get trapped in you know, there's one of the Pokemon that we can switch out So I feel all right going for the trick room here and fake out into the about all although We could see a taunt and that's something we are conscious of we we do know it's kind of risky taunting into a Lunala as well and Gengar's not in the best of positions here So there's a fake out do we see the taunt? substitute well I don't mind that I told really No, okay Right, we do need to get a little out of here 100% I'm gonna snarl I know one get rid of the Gengar sub What do I snarl do is does the Gengar attack you? The gangers gotta be wary because we could potentially you turn as well Our opponent our opponent has disconnected. How dare they I'm gonna you turn and I'm gonna actually switch out Lunala into More well Yeah, but doesn't matter. Whatever happens there because our opponent Had connectivity issues, which is a little bit sad, but that does mean we're gonna get another game today. I Guess that game doesn't really count as it but it does give us more time to talk about sword and shield stuff So yes, I am planning on doing some content on sword and shield I really want to do a lot of content in the lead-up to sword and shield and my opinions my thoughts my theories and things like that on stuff So, um, obviously with stuff going on at the minute I haven't really had the time to do it But I feel like in the next couple of weeks, especially once we get caught up with the flinch squad circuit Then we're gonna be able to do that sort of content and I will definitely I'd love to just give my opinions on on some of the decisions that have been made especially the announcement to E3 and Just the the direct that we had some of the new Pokemon that we've got that look Really cool And just kind of yeah, and we can delve into some theory and what stuff's gonna be like as well Got lemon cello again from Italy My man my man, so we play this guy. I think last week On the channel, or maybe the week before but very cool user name Obviously went into a lot of details about my my thoughts on lemon cello and Johnny kind of you said that he's gonna provide me with some Authentic Italian lemon cello to change my mind in it. So I look forward to that But we'll get into team preview and we'll look at this team because it's kind of similar to ours We've got dual primals though, which is really really nice You're gonna see tap cocoa the Persian a lot of Persian they're gonna have Chris earlier Gonna be the main trick room setter of the team's trick room gonna be probably the thing that my opponent goes for I see wind potentially on the Chris earlier as well You're gonna have ground on and Kyoga and then that mega mall is the big hairs of the team. So What are we gonna do? About it. Um, okay Persian Can't really do too much to stop Lunala setting the trick room up We do have to be a bit careful about that type of cocoa coming out. I do want incinero. I think I definitely want Kyoga Do I want a moongus here though a moongus could be potentially quite good in this matchup Mega more while it's gonna be good as well It's just dealing with the opposing Kyoga that that's my biggest qualm. I think Maybe why I don't want to bring more while to this matchup. Although more well be really good and ground on Yeah, let's go with more while At the end of the day, this is our last week playing like serious serious serious That's not mega serious, but we're playing semi serious. So why not let's have a little bit of fun with it I think the they moongus could have been very good in this match Because if you look at a lot of what my opponents attacks are like outside of the Kyoga and the ground on the Threatening attacks that you would see from their side of the field or single targets. So that redirection support there would be extremely useful Okay, so we're gonna see Persian and Kyoga come out. I think one thing that we've got It's a little bit tricky going into this first turn is The Persian just fakes out our incinero and then count free what water spa Which isn't which isn't ideal so we could potentially switch into our Kyoga and why God We're not getting any kind of Progress with our Do I stay in in snarl in case they attack into the moon? Because I could potentially just trade fake out here, but I don't think you do I think you fake out incinero And I think you what's about? although You may not you may not so Okay, we're just gonna see the Kyoga protect. We could have got a free trick room off here if we don't see a taunt Yeah, there's a taunt, okay And we definitely see a double up from the Kyoga I think Into the Lunala just gonna have to I think Now we either attack into The Kyoga with Azimov which we should be able to we cannot speed it and then switch into our own Kyoga But that takes away our trick room option for this game But I need to try and preserve incinero. I think at this point It cut a losses a little bit Yeah, so even the trick gone trick room there wouldn't have wouldn't have happened so It's just all about if we can outspeed the Kyoga if we can because we're gonna get a shot She'll broken by the Persian and then hopefully we can get some decent damage onto this Kyoga To potentially take the next attack if they go for a water start, but if Kyoga's faster and we see file play We're just gonna see a parting shot. Okay That's not as bad as it could be Honestly, I grabbed on maybe good ground on definitely doesn't come in now You just totally throw your whole weather out the window and Take away any ability to hit Lunala. So yeah, the Chris earlier coming in Fine We do add speed to Kyoga. I'd love to think my opponent will probably go out into the Kyoga here, so After parting shot I'm doing too much damage, but doing enough. I think origin pulse coming out Okay, that's not the end of the world. We know we're faster than Kyoga. So We can go For water spout and I mean guys beam into that Chris area slot Just leave the opposing Kyoga open, but I mean Still going to do a lot of damage to the crest It's just whether or not that ground on comes in on the Kyoga slot Which is kind of what I was about to say before going to busy move there rudely cut off by that animation Um, and I think that's what we're gonna see Yeah, Chris Ellis Rick set up trick room now, but I don't mind this I really don't mind if they do set up trick room now I really don't mind at all. It's gonna wear off at some point as well potentially the end of this turn which gives us access to wide guard again And we'll still get some decent damage onto this Chris earlier with me guys beam And offensively it's not really threatening too much. Okay. Yeah, that's fine. I see wind Huh, okay Now if we can maneuver our incineroar onto the field now when our taunt does wear off They're gonna wear off No, it's not one off just yet. Hmm. Hmm. Yeah, we can't we can't bring more welling. I mean we Could we do what could we do? We need to preserve your collar. I think this point But then if the Persian comes in it's no good Uh It's way up our options. Maybe we could start getting damage onto The ground on here go from you guys beam and just switch into incineroar Get it down to minus one And then potentially we've got fake out trick room the next turn We maybe call our opponent's bluff because that Chris Ellis definitely got trick room It would have just been better if we'd have wide guard here. We can wide guard and see that's the problem But if they're relying on precipice blades, we know what can miss so It doesn't is time I have a both actually take it so that's that's good for us and our taunt definitely wears off this next turn Yeah, there's the taunt wearing off. So we've got the fake out this next turn. Um Now do we call my opponent's bluff by going from ingress beam into the crest? Going for fake out into the ground on I'm really kind of throwing here if they don't trick room, but I'm I'm banking on them trick room into reverse our trick room Because at this point we kind of need trick room up To allow more while to kind of come in and do some work um And they know we're gonna fake out the ground on that. I think that's like a given Just if you don't see the trick room that could be a little bit more difficult for us There is a lot. There's logic behind my madness here. There is but we're banking on it's never really that great Relying on your opponent to kind of make that exact play There's the fake out No, we're not gonna see it. Oh Oh, dear Okay, well, this isn't it's not the end of the world We have a pretty free switch into kayoga now Um, and whether or not my opponent actually picks up on that because we we are gonna wide guard and we're just gonna switch in kayoga Whether or not my opponent picks up on this or not and switches out their ground on and it just it's from their side of the field Is another thing. I don't know but if they keep the ground on in And the chrysalis are on the field And then this next turn we end up with a ball position of lunala kayoga I think we're in a pretty good position to start doing some decent damages next turn because I think one of the things we can potentially do that next turn is go waterspout in trick room because you Kind of then prepping for the Persian coming onto the field with the kayoga Um, and it gives you that free turn to set the trick room at what one you want and potentially You could do if we're really feeling ballsy about it is switch to kayoga at that time. We do trick room And get more while on to the field and then we've got more well under a trick room Yeah, and the kayoga in the back. Yeah so And this is a turn i'm talking about this is where I think we could potentially trick room and um Switch more while in But whether or not it's worth it whether or not we just go for a waterspout Why we've got the opportunity to because we're in a good position now to get rid of the chrysalis Um, do some hefty damage to that Persian if it does come in and also get some decent chip damage On to the the kayoga because we know it's going to come in on the ground onslaught. Oh, it's actually not It's interesting We're gonna get rid of this chrysalis And we know the cut the opposing kayoga has got origin pulse waterspout. I don't imagine it has waterspout It's probably got ice beam Or they could have thunder as well can't discount that and I can't remember from the previous match we played against a guy He had the exact same team If that's what he went for Uh, the Persian coming on to the field now, obviously can't We can just wide guard waterspout How do we wide guard and switch into more? I think we switch into more here. Yeah That was kind of because I think the opposing coyota hits the field now If that grad on stays in it goes press this blade if anything I think because it got a lot of firepower and Yeah, there's a grad on switch. We'll probably see a foul play from the Persian into The lunala it might not fake out. You know Well, oh, there's a fake out. Yeah trying to stop the kayoga this time, but it's not going to really work um Things are freezing. I hope but it's not affecting the recording here. So um I think what we'll do is we'll go out with lunala. I'll bring in our own kayoga and i'm gonna go Do I do I just attack the Persian and just wide guard? I think i'm just gonna wide guard And i'm gonna go for a play rough make a roll play rough into the Persian here Because with origin pulse, I just don't think the kayoga's got a way to like Really heavily damage them all while could have ice beam and it's got to go for it into the lunala this turn Persian doesn't and hardly ever carries protect Like very rarely. So I think the play rough into this slot. It's pretty pretty reliable Yeah, there's a protect from the kayoga I'm gonna get rid of the Persian There's no way Persian ever takes this in the million years And then the next turn when the ground on comes in Uh I think we play rough the kayoga We switch lunala route for our kayoga to get the rain back up because I feel like the ground on goes fire punch into the More while we should pick up the knockout onto the kayoga With our more while And then we'll be able to wrap things up quite easy with a kayoga He says so this is what we'll do We'll switch out lunala into kayoga get that rain back up like I say we'll play rough into the Kayoga and I think the ground on here doesn't press with blades because of the wide guard I think he goes fire punch and it's likely into the more while and if it does that then we catch him with that Without whether coming back in and we should like I say pick up the knockout onto kayoga with play rough from this point All going well, of course So let's see what my opponent does. They might just mind read me down. Just see right through this play But you never know So lunala coming out Okay, I'll get over right this rain Oh, right over right the rain with the rain over right the sun. I should be saying Come on think think before you speak play rough does connect. This is a good more while clever more Ticks on the kayoga taking advantage of that trickering turns. Oh my opponent reached through that very nicely Okay, going for the press with blades. We get a bit lucky there with our kayoga More out. Unfortunately, we'll go down now So that was a nice play there for my opponent. We could have just stayed in wide guarded Um, but now I think we like we completely 100 uncharacter garrically lock this game with wide guard um With the rain out on the field. This is something I used to like do in 2016 I used to kind of set up this board position like this Um with my car I got him on top because I had the wide guard Um, and as long as I could wide guard and the rain was up, there was no way to pose and grab on unless the car like Rock slide could could hit us. So um And you kind of just sealed the game from this point We're just going to see a protect from the guard on maybe just stalling out the trick room here Um scouting out what we've got potentially as well We're revealing that skull the trick room does end but not really going to matter too much now And we do a wide guard And then we will scald and that should be game Lemme chill out Come on my friend There we go. There's the wide guard now Locking those horrible pressivist blades See the ground and does that speed up. I'll get Matruody here from the trip he turns anyway And there's a skull and this would be more than enough to pick up their knockout and lock the game for us And very good game to a very good opponent once again And that will be the end of this episode guys. So I really hope you've enjoyed today's episode I hope you're looking forward to the rest of the week Obviously the two variations of lunala that we'll be playing it'll be great to hear opinions on both variants We'll see just a big shout out to fabian again and keep your eyes peeled on the channel for information about that road To ranked roulette series that we'll be starting next week I would really love to hear your opinions on that and what you think about and what your thoughts are dropping The the kind of the the daily battle series replacing with that it's kind of going to be the same thing So we're going to be playing on the battle spot. Anyway, it's going to be road to ranked But we're just making it a bit harder for ourselves by having just random pokemon that are nominated by you guys and I think at the same time by doing that It's going to really kind of open up the creativity door with how we're going to Try and put these random six pokemon that have come out on a wheel of fortune together on a roulette And try and make them work on the on the battle spot ladder and see how far we can get And the gimmicks are going to be for real the memes will be real And I think just having that interaction between Myself and you guys is going to be what really does appeal and it's going to be a lot of laughs Like I've said, I think it's going to be really funny And we'll we'll make sure we capture reactions and stuff like that to stuff because I think it'll be a really good series And a lot of fun and something if it is successful We'll do every year at the end of every vgc season to take us into that new one So thank you so much for tuning in guys. Have a great rest of your day Whatever you're up to I will see you all for the next one And thank you so much again for all your support comments and everything like that and just make sure you have a great day Whatever you're up to so until the next one. Bye. Bye
