 Hello friends and welcome back to another VGC 2020 battle series episode My name is Lee also known as Osiris and to everyone that's new to the channel welcome everyone else. It's already here Welcome, I hope you're all doing well and staying safe in this current situation that we're all in But earlier in the week getting into this episode. We played and kicked off with G max toxterity It's a lot of fun and but I did say we'd make some changes coming into today's episode So as you can see the team is on your screen now It's got a lot of hidden tricks up its sleeve and we'll get into those as we go through the episode today And but it consists of the intelion the G max toxterity is still there to send a piece of the team the mimikyu Kanto 9 tills dragapult and venus or some it's a mad bunch of Pokemon I might be mad in what I'm doing here, but it will work. We needed speed control. We've got it in abundance Even if it's not super apparent on the face of it But as always there will be a rental team at the end of this episode. So do stick around for that and as well If you do enjoy this sort of content, please remember to drop a like on the video Do hit the subscribe button as well for more content like this and more Pokemon content in general So got a first poke opponent. They're ranked 37th in the world. So I'm Gonna be a good match They're playing a team of bravery ex-goodwill lapras in Cinero got the tell and the Grim snarl So we've got the trapping element from the got the tell Pivot options within Cinero G max is gonna be probably lapras here And then you've got fake tier support potentially from the Grim snarl the ex-good will is going to be a bit of a pain Bravery, I don't really worry about too much But it does offer speed control with that tailwind and the max air streams tell you what let's go for it Let's go in telly on toxterity here to kick us off with tox Obviously got to be a bit careful around the got the tell and the ex-good drill but other than that We do all right. We do all right. I think and what do we want in the back here? Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Mmm. Probably Venus or nine tails, you know Let's do that But a lot of psychic weakness here, but we've got a lot of firepower as well So we can we can do stuff to the goth hotel. I'm not too worried about goth It's not ever gonna be the most offensive Pokemon ever that you're gonna see so It's still something you can't ignore But we don't even need to worry about competitive goth either because we've got no intimidate on our team We're fine. We're fine Grim snorlax drill coming out my opponent. What I have to worry about here is does the Grim snorl have Does the Grim snorl have take out if it does when knackered? but Thing is Are they gonna max? I don't know if they will. I feel like you might go Into Lapras here like you want to max your Lapras, but have you brought the Lapras to this match? That makes sense. Probably not We could always max and tell you on but it kind of defeats a purpose. I Want to go for this. I want to go for it. Let's go for it Okay, well the idea behind this was we can I see when break the session the extra drill and Then if you max it and go max flare, and we've got a hasty nature on Do max toxicity? Will outspeed it and it also gives us a way to knock it out, but if it does Max, I don't think we pick up the knockout. So I think we need the Sun It's gonna be interesting to see what the Grim snorl does here. Maybe Maybe screens maybe goes for a fake out as well. Like I said, if it does then we're pretty knackered There's a lot of ifs, buts, and maybes here. It's just a thunder wave, but that totally Breaks breaks everything that we're trying to do and maybe they predict into the intelligent rather than the talks How they do huh? Okay We're back in the game my friends. This is alright. You see we're doing the silly thing So my opponent playing safe doesn't realize what we're doing, but We might be able to get the X control here There's the max flare not expecting this Okay, so if we can get the icy wind If you get the icy wind we can actually get the knockout the next turn Come on and tell you This is so so ridiculous Okay, well we got the max flare the next turn Does the X control max guard though? We keep Intellion around Like honestly, no, I don't think we do We could we could so I will just go for another icy wind I think it's probably the safest thing we've got for another max flare as well Okay There's a max guard coming out that makes sense Exense Sucker punch into tell you I'm gonna get rid of that thing That's alright though because now we've got a good old Venus order coming, but we will get we will get tea waves so It's what do we what would we prefer to get tea waves probably nine tails because Venus or relies on its speed so Let's get nine tails in Because then we can heat wave the ex-good real and then we can max ooze a grim snore But it's probably not a good idea to do that We should just heat wave and then go max flare again because the thing is you can paralyze nine tails like we just Be talking about so we're better off. Just go max flare get rid of the ex-good real Would okay saving it for later. That's fine What's coming in and sooner off? Okay Okay There's the intimidate and the way that's fine. I mean ideally we want to be getting rid of the grim snore Yes, that really all we've done is clap click max flare the toxic is ridiculous We do get the heat wave off sun boosted doing some nice damage as well, you know And as long as nine tails is on the field, I mean we need to keep an eye on They're gonna go fake out I think we need to keep an eye on our weather how long we've got the sun up for two more times You know what? I'm gonna switch into being so here I'm just gonna protect and burn the fake out potential fake out coming out I don't think if you're in scenario you go for flablets into the nine tails You might go for a parting shot, but I Want to want to try and do this next turn Okay, um Yeah, we want to protect Venus or here We could switch back into nine tails, but I don't know it might be nice to get rid of grim snore right now. We might go down to an incineroar bledlets This tox isn't the most bulky Pokemon and we are hasty as well So but I'm hoping you chase down the Venus over here. That would be the best best thing Don't for the taunt He's got for a flablet into Venus. Oh We should get the grim snore But it does depend whether the insinuars Targeting excellent Excellent. Okay, sunlight does fade, but that's fine Exkidrill are you gonna make in the little appearance right now? Is it super obvious that we switch into nine tails? Um There's an earth bar probably gets incineroar. So the extra real just protect I'll go for we need to preserve I'm gonna go for this play. I'm gonna go for the overdrive and the the earth part into the Yeah, okay, we get it Because the thing is if if we if we lose Venus all here Then our nine tails is paralyzed. So exkidrill has a way easier time against it might proc a berry Yeah, we're back to square one is the earth power. It is expert belt It's enough. There we go. Okay. Now. We might be able to clinch this one Okay, now we can switch into nine tails pretty safely Oh, can we well we can because Tox will deal with bravery all day long. We just a part into the exkidrill Switching to nine tails and then we we get rid of the exkidrill And and then talks can clean up the bird So all going well, we should we should have a little victory here to kick us off with today against a pretty high rated opponent And Which is a nice a nice victory for the Tox it's actually done some work in this match even though G max is just fire punched every time max fled But it's specifically for the exkidrill matchup. It's just when they max it can get a bit tricky Now you could play something like a balloon on there to kind of get around that I guess but The plan is it hopefully doesn't max even though most of the time it probably will There's the brave bird. It does take down Venus. Oh, but it's done its job We've got good old talks to come in now and I think the combination talks risky and nine tails we should be fine With an overdrive life or boosted it should do the trick and And Just to make sure we neuter this thing if things go south But we actually outspeed it so that's good Come on talks there we go. That's what we want to see Okay, well we get a win with the team A really good game to my opponent I think we got a bit like we said, you know turn one They made a prediction and we kind of Capitalized on that Which is it's not always going to go that straightforward But really nice game there and hope you guys enjoyed that one hit that like button if you enjoyed that game We're going to have one more before we finish up today and for the week with toxicity And like I said, I'll um, I'll put the rental code up at the end of the the episode Um, hopefully we can get the pledge mod working in this next one because we've got Venusaur and intelion that can both Be pledge pokemon so we can maybe do some pledge stuff. Um, hmm Okay, next opponent tug of the morrow tyrannotor wheezing Rotom cut alcanine and garrados double intimidate um Very little speed control outside of max airstream on the garrados and then nuzzle on the tug of the morrow um overdrive really good here, um because It doesn't help the garrados escape. Um the electric type attacks So i'm quite happy bringing Toxicity to this one. I think you can do a lot of work as well to be honest wheezing is it causing us any issues at all not really Really really not really not really. Um, hmm It could just go the same again, you know You could literally just go the same again But we might be better off going for Hmm Now we'll go the same again. We'll go and tell you on Toxicity. It's a little sad. We're not going to get to see the pledge stuff going but we might do We do have the combination there. We'll just leave the ghosts at home If we can get soak going as well, that'd be nice wouldn't it? If we can soak because intelion the main reason where I started from the starting point was intelion got soak It gets ic runes. That's ideal. It's so fast as well It's gonna have to be the most things in the format So we're always gonna get ic windoff first and then toxicity gets the the dynamic speed change to start throwing out some damage Which is really nice. Um, but soak as well is such a powerful weapon in this format Um, hmm Terranitar I did not expect you to make an appearance Okay, um You've got to be expecting Tell you on max, right? We can't use our gmax move which is a little bit unfortunate Unless it's not lightning rod But it blatantly is with garrados on the team has to be we could we could max Blair and get rid of the sand that might be an idea. Let's do that Let's do that see how much this does to a little toga tomorrow Pip squeak and then that might force it out the next turn I swear the one thing that like toxicity is missing as well as a good fire type move If you've got something like heatwave or flamethrower Oh, I would like completely change the dynamics of this purple one Um, and we're scraping the barrel here with fire punch and it's only because we're able to um Max that it's even something that I considered You still need the life or boost there. Um, it's just a shame because it The coverage that the the fire type move gives it is just it's incredibly good. It's incredibly good. Um, It's just a shame that it doesn't actually get anything Maybe when the tutors get introduced in the dlc later this year, maybe we see that change It will protect Hopefully we see a fake outcome into that slot Nuzzle. Okay. Well, that's that's super fine. Super fine Uh, because we'll get out max flare up probably cv tyranitar go for max ruffle. Wow It does so much damage Wow, it takes it down to its sash now if intelligent gets through this turn, which I'm presuming it will Uh, we should be all right to get rid of it the next time with a nice wind Max quick This is like the one thing we didn't want How many t-tars run max quick Really Okay Right. Well, I wasn't expecting that it is something to consider This this match might not go as swimmingly as the last one Hmm Okay, right. Well it could suck I need I really want to icy wind so I can just get rid of that the threat of the nuzzle I don't want to hit the t-tars with a super effective attack though. That's a problem um Because I do not want to activate a weakness policy Okay, let's just protect venus or here. Let's just let's just protect. Let's try and stall out these these Dynamax turns I think now probably Suit us a little better. Okay max guard. That's fine That's super fine. Now we get rid of the top of tomorrow Tito you've got worn turm there We can we can pledge we could pledge make a pledge Your pledges are pretty powerful as well Hmm Yeah, the intimidating coming out I think we pledge we wanted to get the pledges off didn't we? Let's do it Let's get the marsh setup. Let's slow everything down It's like a think quarter speed of everything on the field. They're pretty powerful Um, especially the marsh. I do like it a lot Well, look how pixelated that is that's crazy. What's going on? That's like not my equipment. That is the game There we go grass pledge water pledge It's not bad damage. We're gonna activate a weakness policy. You know, it's gonna happen Um, where you're gonna go into probably the Venusaur and there's the bounce Okay, well That was expected. Maybe you're going into intelion now then This will pick up the knockout if you are yeah, okay Because then obviously the sandstorm But this is fine because then we get nine tails back onto the field The issue is well, I mean we can protect the bounce so that's not even an issue I think we could still do this. It's just whether or not the tea towel then switches out this next turn Um, but maybe a solar beam Is enough to get it Let's see Because I don't want Venusaur taken about that's the the thing that we need to protect this turn How do we because No, a solar beam should get the tea towel from here. It should do I'm confident we'll get the tea towel from here The sand isn't up Not dynamics yet. It's gonna withdraw. That makes a lot of sense. Come on. Be something weak to grass It's wheezing of course Still all right. We've still got grass pledge. Uh, we've got plenty. We just need to protect Venusaur Do all the right things We can still win this Inesauce, uh wheezing so fat so fat Right wheezing holding the black slurge Do we willow isp Begarrados. Yeah, let's do that. Um, and I guess an earth power Into the reason Okay. Well, that's still fine like super fine And the Intimidate prokken doesn't really bother us at all. Um I don't think the earth powers are gonna be enough to get the tea towel A worrying thing would be um A waterfall, but if we land I will always but think we'll be all right regardless and nine tails being a good boy lands it There we go. So we should take the waterfall if it is coming into that direction Lumberry no See how much this does to tea towel I think the fact that it's not got its, uh Mmm Concern it's not going to weakness policy boost anymore. It makes it a little bit easier. Okay three on one Hmm Well, well, well I mean, we just earth power again. I need to probably gonna protect But I can't risk it's it's like the only thing on the field right now that can like cause us a lot damage Begarrados, I don't really worry about if it wants to damage just like a lot it has to bounce Yeah, so we get rid of this And we'll see probably the bounce come up from the garrados now Dragon dance, huh Okay Makes things a little bit more awkward Wonder how much sludge bomb we'll do Oh, this is gonna be close. I think Is it is it though? If we can get rid of the garrados, we deal with the reason pretty well two on one's never good though Is it? I didn't expect the lumbary. It's a nice item choice always on garrados, especially it's always something you want to be burning Okay, there's the bounce, okay So Yeah, we've made the It's done, uh, we can't even protect now. So we are We're we're we're done. Well played from my pond. You can't can't deny them that um I'd like to know what the earth prior damage is. I don't think it would be enough And it's likely the reason's probably holding uh shucker if my opponent's got the um Let's us have a look at it. We'll have a quick gander at the team before we make the rental code Okay. Well good game to my opponent We end on one win one loss two really good games. I think today. So I hope you guys have enjoyed them. Um Let's see can we see the team Are we gonna come on communicating? We're gonna be able to We're not gonna be able to Unfortunately, okay. Well, we need to create this rental team. It would have been nice to see I imagine it was probably shucker Um, but they carved out a nice win condition there So we cannot deny them that but we had fun with the the gmax toxicity team I think the two teams that we've um We've played this week have been really good Now we don't want to get rid of the colossal team because that's a that's a great team. Lapras team very good as well. Hmm. Um Let's get rid of it. Uh I mean, this one's pretty old the esku, but the esku is cool. Let's get rid of the giglet one Yeah, don't make a public let's get rid of this one I can't imagine we'll be keeping the toxicity team around for too long But we'll keep it up for a while. So you guys if you'd like to play Some gmax toxicity With uh pledges and double double ghost then Here is your team And it'll just take a minute and we can check and there we go. There we go friends And that wraps up the episode for us Uh, you can see the protect soak I see when mortar pledge and then the rest all makes sense. Uh, the fire punch was actually all right It was the first time I've tested that and uh, it's It's it's not bad. It kind of covers a a big hole in the team that you've kind of got otherwise. So Um, but yeah weakness policy drago pull the mimic you didn't really get going there Uh, the mimic you gives you a way to really shut down trick room Um mods with the taunt a fast taunt as well. It's really nice Sword stands to get super threatening if you want, uh, the bivouary berry Uh, just gives you that a little bit of a cushion against those steel types Especially something like more breaker x could drill that could be a little bit problematic otherwise But you do have things like nine tails and intelion and drago pull will add speed it and do some decent damage Um, I'm going to change the beat up Because that was from another team that should be uh, that should be flamethrower. So we'll change that and I'll make the update and um Post that so you guys can play this team, but that is that my friends I hope you all have a great evening afternoon morning. Whatever time it is when you're watching this And I'll check you out next week with a another brand new team We'll play something a bit more solid than we played this week, but we can't say anything But given gmax toxis the ago. I do like it as a pokemon. I just think it's really hard to get to work in this format Um, but I'll keep working on it in behind the scenes And if I do get something I really like we'll bring it back and we'll have another go with it But until then take care of yourselves friends. Uh, thanks for tuning in and I'll see you all for the next ones until then take care. Bye. Bye
