 Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our Pokemon VGC 2019 Battle Series. I hope you're all doing well Thank you so much for tuning in and we are kicking off today With this team you can see on your screen here in front of you yesterday. We kicked off with the other version of the Lunala Kyoga team we played that for one game and then we played this for the other game and Here we are finishing up the week with this team today and tomorrow and then next week as I've been saying all week We're gonna kick off with our new road to rank to roulette series Which will be a lot of fun if you want it more information leave a comment Let me know but I will be putting stuff up on the channel to let you guys know what is happening The main thing all you need to do if you want to get involved with that series is Nominate one single Pokemon on a thread I put up on YouTube So go over there nominate and it can be anything it can be from Caterpie it can be to Zapdos It can be me too. It can be ground on primal ground on It can be anything anything that is legal in the VGC 2019 format Nominate away if you would like to see it played Hopefully it comes up on the roulette wheel and on Monday We're gonna do the roulette wheel with all the Pokemon in it and we're gonna pick that team of six and we're gonna take it forward And we're gonna get innovative. We're gonna get creative. We're gonna get all the memes going We're gonna see how far we can take this team and have a lot of fun with it along the way And we'll be doing it together and that's the thing I think getting you guys involved is the best thing to do and really does excite me about doing this so Getting on to today's episode just to recap the team because we didn't really do too much of a recap in yesterday's episode We've got a dual mega team which you very rarely see in this format right now You kind of primarily only see one mega on a team you're gonna have here We've got a low-pony which is mega low-pony did some work in yesterday's episode And if you missed yesterday's episode would like to check it out I'll put a card up there for you go check that out and then come back into this one today Then you've got the primal ground on you got Lunala got the other mega which is mega more while we've got the z move on Gastrodon we got a z move on Lunala. We've got the phytinium on Lunala You got the groundium on the gastrodon and then we've got choice specs tabacoco, which has discharge Which you saw do so much work But yes, the team is down in the description below as always there is a role-paced and a poker-paced big shout out to Fabian Who provided this team for me to play for the latter part this week? So his handle would be down in the description give them a follow on two areas generally one of the coolest guys you're gonna meet in the European VGC circuit and Always comes up with crazy wacky team So it's really nice to finally be able to actually feature one on the channel, but without further ado Let's get into today's episode. Let's get some Pokemon games On the go and as always guys if you do enjoy this sort of content Please remember to drop a like on the video. It does really help the channel. Do subscribe to the channel We need to get over to this screen and do leave your comments down below Yeah, because I love hearing from you guys and even though I haven't got time at the minute to reply to each and every one of you I do read them all and I do make sure that I will get time in the future to get back to how I Used to respond to each and every single one of you because I really do appreciate every comment That is left and any kind of support that the channel has from you guys In other news on the Pokemon.com website earlier this week if you haven't seen already There is a power ranking article as being put up and I was one of the members of the team There was myself poker Alex Gabby Schneider Aaron Trailer and Justin Burns Who are all involved in putting together the power rankings article for combinations of restricted Pokemon going into The North American International Championships, which should be happening this weekend very exciting So if you haven't checked that out again, that'll be linked down in the description go check it out I I talk a lot about Lunala ground on funnily enough So I hope you enjoy it if you do check it out And it's a really nice article and it was just a pleasure being involved in that and I'm very lucky to have The opportunity to do that sort of thing, but we got our first opponent of the episode. We've got Alex So let's what is that? Let's hope over the team preview and we can discuss that little ball of spaghetti Right we've got a team of Zornius Requaza incinero Nailigo Tepofini and oh my god is that that is It's a tangela tangela awesome So tangela for you guys out there that don't know it is quite viable It has got access to that if you're like that gives it the defensive boost and special defense and defense Because it's a pre-evolved Pokemon. It has things like rage powder sleep powder So it can be really disruptive and a decent support option aside from a moongus And we know basically X X-ray team what it's gonna do How are we gonna deal with it? That's the other thing. I think the the Zornius is obviously a pain to deal with Hmm. Let's go Lunala Let's go tap a cocoa. We definitely need more while here and let's go groud on as well Do we click in I feel like we're clicking in I feel like I'm sad that I'm leaving love, honey More while feels like the better option here. So see how we match up against Alex here. Good luck Alex Yeah, and it'd be nice to see some more action in today's episode to kick us off with So we did play that more variation of the team earlier on in the week, but we didn't see the best of it I don't care. So we're gonna see Incineroar. We're gonna see What do we do we can't really stop the Can't stop the German team unfortunately, but we can set up a trick room. We can do that and we can get Hmm, we can get a ground on him Let's trick room. I feel like you do fake out the cocoa for sure Go go malo go. We could get more well in as well I feel like Groudon's probably the better shout at this point though because then we can Deal with that Incineroar a little bit easier going into this next turn Incineroar could just attack here might not even want to go for Fake out, but should be fine. I say that I say that should be Should be fine Famous last words. Okay, so get ground on in. Let's see what this Incineroar is gonna do Protect and could be Z move Just you turn. Oh It's gonna be tangela. I think Do you don't mind at all because if it is then we've got the eruption to go It's gonna be real close That's even better really. I mean we get the trick room up. Tell me so I mean we're gonna lose our son but It's fine. It's a fine. It's a fine. It's fine. Um, okay, so I'm not really too worried about the zonius right now I'm going to go for a eruption and a blue guy's been into the Rayquaza We should break any kind of sash on the Rayquaza, I don't know how much damage we're gonna do especially in yeah I'm gonna see the zonius Treat gonna see the Incineroar coming And still alright was still alright right now Rayquaza gonna mega evolve She's still got a good switching in more while in the back We can get the Intimidate onto the field if we need to both physical attackers then we've got trick room set up as well So and things aren't all bad. Oh, we're not gonna see any protect from the Rayquaza, which is decent Don't do too much damage obviously with the sun gone and the dragon type in there But the moon guys beam should do a decent enough chunk to this Rayquaza at least anyway It's a solvest for sure there's the earth part Groudon nice and bulky nice and bulky. Okay, what I'm gonna do is switch into more while and we're going to go for a W protect Hmm Just a fake out the fake out. I don't know if you do fake out I don't know Do you fake out feel like you've got a fake out? I feel like you want to get rid of the Groudon because the Groudon does Pause a bit of a threat to Incineroar going into this next turn We do get more well onto the field at least here. Um, I guess the problem is this next turn where We're probably not going to under speed the Incineroar, which is what we want to be doing Okay, the Rayquaza gonna withdraw tangela coming out We do see it okay There's just a snarl which we don't mind at all really I really want to um I'm gonna press this blades for sure and I'm gonna play rough Because I play rough unintimidated should be enough to get the Incineroar Um Do I eruption now as well? It's just if we see Hmm Just if you see a rage powder that don't be my only problem and I don't really want to lose more while just yet Because I could potentially see A flare blitz and a rage powder coming out. Um, okay Let's bring in Lunala for more while and let's press this blades Because I just feel like the tangela is going to go rage powder here and you're going to go flare blitz into the more well and We just don't want that. There's the rage powder so there We made the right call. I mean like just expecting that And then you turn and Ray is going to come back in Oh, no Okay, I just I was too scared of the flare blitz to stay in Okay, I mean this isn't the worst at all. Rosonius coming in. I don't mind Dishing out some precipice blitz damage onto that thing. We do hit both targets. So that's decent That's a bulky zonius man It is a bulky zonius You're not for a fact that Zonius is going to jayman see now. There's not really much we can do except go Hmm It's your option. I'm just gonna have to press this blitz again because I expect another rage powder. Yeah There's not really much we can do to get around it. This is one bulky zonius So precipice blades coming out again Wingress beam This tangela is a monster. Oh, I mean we we kind we do a decent amount of damage. I wonder if They suspect why god There's deep dazzling gleam here. He just moonblast the lunala Because like ideally we get a trick room up, don't we? Um What would I rather what would I rather do? What have I got in the back? I've got more wild type of cocoa It's not so good. It's not so good. Uh, we can try and trick room. I guess I think actually you moonblast you moonblast the lunala here a hundred percent I just that's that's just what I feel you do Um There's not really much we can do to get around that I'm gonna trick room if we can get the trick room off ideal. If not, then We'll get precipice blades damage. There's a tangela going out requires a come down to the field It's interesting Moonblast I'll be into lunala and imagine. Yeah, stop that trick room going up Wow, we actually take it. We're a beast. We're a beast. We get the uh precipice blades. Oh, this is this is working out perfectly I didn't expect You know, let's actually take that but that's because this zernius is so bulky Now it will go down to another Precipice blades here now Do we make the call and go for the phytinium z into the requiser because that's that is what I feel I feel like the incineroar comes in on that slot. Let's make a big Play and go for the precipice blades and go for that phytinium z Come on. Let it be incineroar Please come on We did it We did it. Okay. Let's do it now We can as long as precipice blades picks up the knockout. Okay. We're just gonna see a protect We get rid of this fake out support. We're gonna have to deal with the tangela coming in next But we still have precipice blades so Oh ground on ruining all the fun all the fun there I'm so disappointed. I am so disappointed in you ground on Well, I'm not I'm not I'm pleased you're hitting your attacks. That is that's all we care about And this additional damage from the phytinium z is going to be very very good in two resins, but Just for a bit of chip damage Look at the damage it's like The tiniest like warm hp Precipice blades definitely gets it from this range I would imagine the only thing that you've got to worry about is a little bit is the tangela coming in I'm pretty sure it gets sleep powder. I know it doesn't get spoiled tangela will come in though And this is why I probably want to switch lunala now for Tapu koko and then go for that precipice blades once again Because I feel like the tangela doesn't rage powder heat and knows that the precipice blades come and thinks if I can Shit down this ground on the terrain's gone Then we can we can make some headway in this match up, but I think if we can just get this terrain up Can deny that Oh, it's gone grass not okay, but it's into koko rather than the ground on We do hit And we do we do slay the zernius. So that's excellent for us Um now Requires are going to come back onto the field And we're sitting in a pretty nice position now We've got more while in the back. I don't really feel although that you know the requires that is this old fest for sure So we have to be a bit careful about that How many turns of trickery and we've got left We got two. Okay That's just dazzling gleam. I'm not really worried about koko right now I'm going to bring lunala in for ground on so I can get ground on back in in the sun If we can get a dazzling gleam off as well as koko, I mean that makes such a difference. We're going to see a grass Not here into lunala Yeah, we're going to see an earth power from the requiser. It'll take down koko for sure Yeah But now we get ground on in in the sun Um, and we get mega more well in as well We have to be careful with the earth power, of course, but the problem is that the um If if an eruption gets this tangela, which I'm hoping it does Um, then play rough like the requiser can't protect so we can we it has to rage powder here almost um It's a bit tricky. It's a bit tricky. Um Because rage powder obviously more I would go first But then requiser should be in circle bunch range With maybe it's not going to be easy. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know You might lose this one. Maybe who knows? Yeah, there's the rage powder tangela putting in all the work in this match. I mean, we've made some nice reads, but Still a tough match up Okay, single target eruption. I don't think the crypt might have there. I think we'd get it anyway. Player off's just so strong um If you as part of flamethrower, no, we definitely lose flamethrower It's over alex. You've brought us an incredible game to kick yourself with today um Ah, well all we could do is eruption and that's it. There wasn't anywhere we could have got around and maybe Protecting them all while there and then preserving it for the next time where we could suck a punch would have been a way to do it maybe but then we're relying on eruption to um To take down that tangela, but what a good game very good game alex and uh Like I say a nice one to kick us off today. So We will move on hopefully find an exit point. That's always uh, that's one of those games I get hyped up too much in the match and I'm like, ah I really want the win really want the win and then we don't get it But just how pokemon goes sometimes x-ray is still a very very strong core. Um And we've seen it do so well this season. So no surprise that it's still going to be kicking round I'd imagine it will be until the world championships and I'll probably do well there I'll probably see variations of it there do very well Let's go train a version two because I'm too lazy to go any further and um I like train a vision two. We never played. I know we said that a couple of weeks ago Or maybe last week Let's play train a version two Because we only ever play train a vision one when we forget to play music But uh, we'll try this one. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to find opponent if it does Of course, I will just cut this and we'll come straight back to when we bump into someone And we've got an excellent the episode from japan running a team of let's hop straight into team preview Oh, it's spicy. It's going to be requires a duskman and a crossmer in scenario type of fanny nilego And type of coco so very similar to the x-ray team that we kind of just played Just minus out the tangela. You're going to replace that with type of coco And then you've got the the duskman, which is going to be ultra in a crossmer as well Over the zonius slot so very similar What can we learn about? I think coco definitely is going to be very useful in this game Um, and I'm going to go down the same lines that we did In yesterday's episode with the coco lawpony And then lunala and groudon in the back Hmm groudon seems less effective here, but I guess groudon's so good against incinero nilego and type of coco And duskman if it is just duskman, I don't imagine it's going to stay duskman though But we'll we'll look into this and we'll get straight into it Or not because our opponent is still selecting deciding what they want to bring Is it band-aid or is it a sold vest ray? I'd probably say a sold vest More than anything. Where's the speed control in this team? Possibly duskman if it's got trick room. It has got the option there Nilego also has that there, but you probably relying on something like electro web from coco or More commonly the icy wind from that type of fanny, but we'll get into this next one And hopefully we can redeem ourselves from our first episode although it was a it was a good game It was a very good game. I did enjoy it a lot Um, just couldn't close it out. All right the end tangela. I'm telling you guys puts in all the work Puts in all spaghetti spaghetti go. Um, all right. So lawpony coming out With tap coco will remember to mega evolve this time around and requires that and nilego Okay, okay, um Well, I'm not too worried about what the nilego is going to be doing. So I'm just going to actually Volt switch out onto the nilego. Um, and I'm going to mega evolve and I'm going to go for a fake out into rick waza We'll try and maybe get Lunala into the field or growl. Maybe Lunala's better So there's lawpony mega evolving Lawpony is a cool mega pokemon as well. It's got so many options I do like the quick on call that it has access to though. I think it's so useful Um, we'll see the requires of mega and evolve mega and evolve mega revolving We can talk and activate that delta stream there's a fake out into the ray and We'll probably better off bringing in grad on now considering that the delta streams went up and uh Volt switch going into that nilego doing 50 damage, which is pretty crazy. Um We'll get grad on on to the field We have to watch out for earth power from the rick waza. That's something I always forget You know back in 2016 like rick waza very rarely carried earth power But it is way more useful in this format than it was in 2016 So, um, it's something that I do just generally forget about and it's something I can't believe I do forget about I'm gonna say the sludge bomb. It's actually going to be into lawpony. They're not cocoa Does pick up the poison there, which is a little bit unfortunate rick waza does flinch Okay, so Should we law kick the nilego? Or could we try after you eruption? Will that get both? Oh, I feel like extreme speed probably comes out from The rick waza, but does it does it though? That's the thing. Does it come out because does it not just want to concentrate a bit more down on the ground on? um Let's protect ground on let's be a bit Yeah, let's let's let's bottle it and just law kick that nilego try and get rid of it. Um Getting rid of the nilego makes things a lot easier for cocoa when it comes back in Although can just fault switch and get rid of it. Yeah, there's the extreme speed as we expected Oh, we do actually survive it And we take down the nilego so we didn't need to protect ground on there I didn't expect us to survive that we do unfortunately go down to the poison She's a little bit sad, but at the same time it's all right, isn't it? Um Yeah, let's bring in cocoa Because we can discharge spam now and we all know how much I love discharge spam And then cinnamon coming in, huh? Okay Probably gonna have to leave cocoa for later on later on later on later on later on Let's just pair Incinero and switch cocoa add to two lunala We'll probably see fake out into ground on though. Although I feel Like cocoa is a bit more of a threat for the requiser right now So I'd be more if I was my opponent. I'd be more inclined to Fake out the cocoa here I'm trying to get rid of it if I've got earth power But we're not gonna see that as he has that And it's gonna be into that cocoa. Yeah, but we're in a prime position to go for that z move into the um good old Incinero now we could just erupt. I mean we could just double up into the incinero. I've got a feeling that um Yeah, I don't want a trick room because we've got cocoa in the back I don't think we're gonna go down to Um A dragon is sent from this requiser, which is gonna have to go into lunala with You could worry a little bit about maybe crunch there This is the thing like requiser so diverse it can learn all of these different attacks and every single one of them hits ridiculously hard Probably is the best best problem we've got in the format to be honest drako meteor talking about that diversity and here we go Won't be enough to take us down. So we will get the the the z move into The incinero. Hopefully it's enough to pick up the knock out here. It is a full health, so Depends on what kind of build it is. If it's a soul fest then we don't take it. Um We probably lose lunala, but at the same time like losing lunala now We get some decent damage onto the incinero and we get cocoa onto the field And we do actually pick up the knockout which is incredible Um, and the thing with the requiser now is that earth powers way less threatening. Um because Of the drako meteor drop there. So we'll probably see duskman come onto the field now Yeah And again I don't really want to I don't really want to um, I'm gonna press this blades Um This is a good time to switch into cocoa. Do we just sack do we just sack and across my uh, lunala I'm just gonna be nice beam into them across my I'm gonna press this blades as well Yeah, we're gonna see the ultra necrosis I wonder if it's physical or special that'll make a big difference. I think earth power special We do take it Dragon ascent, where are we going? I mean this requiser is just wrecking itself Yeah, and I'm kind of hoping now The precipice blades is enough to put this ultra necrosis in dazzling range go out on To action Yeah, oh more than enough and I think after the drop requiser is probably going to go down to two at least so Earth power after the the drako meteor drop is not going to be picking up the knockout on top of cocoa So sometimes that requires a especially the assault vest variant is it's almost the enemy Um, just with the drops. It's like those heavy attacking moves do come at a cost I will see that. Uh, we'll just press this blades again. I mean, there's not really much else we can do I nearly clicked into discharge. That would have been terrible. Um, And we'll we'll dazzling gleam. It should be enough to get both here specs. This dazzling gleam should be enough to get both hopefully Hopefully let's see see what my opponent goes for my last ditch attempt extreme speed in earth power Yeah, that's the extreme speed to cocoa There's a lot of damage really does But we'll get both here Um, well, we'll get necrosis which is the main thing and the precipice blades miss Hacks He says, uh I mean we could also go pretty badly if we um If we get crit by extreme speed Couldn't it could all go wrong? But i'm pretty i'm pretty confident cocoa is just saying no No, no So very good game to my opponent and we do manage to pull out a victory for the second one today So we've had some really good games again today. I really really am enjoying this team Um, so I hope you guys are as well. That's the that's the main thing Um, we'll wrap things up there guys Remember if you haven't went over to the post In our community section on the channel Do go over there if you'd like to nominate a pokemon for our road to rank roulette series Which will be kicking off monday next week go over there nominate a pokemon. Why don't you and um I will see you all for the next one. Have a great day.
