 Hello friends and welcome back to another Pokemon VGC 2020 battle series My name is Lee also known as Osiris and in today's episode We're gonna be featuring a team that is probably well over due here on the channel And that is gonna be all based around Porygon Z the powerhouse that has been introduced with the Isle of Armor with that adaptability ability It's just insanely strong and normally carrying things like hyper beam dark pulse Thunderbolt nasty plot Even is an option on there. You've commonly seen it with redirect and more commonly with the club fairy here So that's what the team is based around. We've got some interesting picks in around it We've got the mind shower a really nice pick with coaching so we can boost the attack power even further on that Porygon Z if we get into selves get ourselves into favorable positions here Then supporting with the Rilla boom the assault vest there the obviously the club fairy We've already mentioned and then the magna zone with the expert belt and talent flame tagged on the end to give us that Kind of speed control that we're really needing in this team. Otherwise, we'd be missing So you might think on face value that trick room is gonna be a bit of an issue for this team And it definitely is but we do have taunt on mind shower to help us kind of get around that and then the redirection And hopefully magna zone Which is one of the slow members of the team will help us get around any trick room issues So there will be a rental code a team at the end of the episode so do stick around for that There'll be a poker paste down in the description below and without further ado. Let's get into this one today We've got Patrick up as our first opponent and they are playing a team of Rilla boom talk of kiss all canine Melotic Tyranitar and cinderace So there's a few things on Patrick's team that definitely stand out to us has been super Threatening it's a poor gone Z definitely the cinderace. It has access to The high jump kick and the max knuckle So it's definitely options that the PZ doesn't want to have to contend with and then you've got the redirection there with the Togekiss and other than that though, I mean the Tyranitar as well is a bit scary, but it's not The worst thing to see now. I think we can probably go safely Talon flame and poor gone Z now that like to deny us as be control They're gonna have to lead really boom and I think We probably won't Yeah, on Rilla boom, I think in mind shall I think oh do we want Clefairy a mind shall is Incredibly good against well pretty much just the Tyranitar whereas Clefairy offers friend god support redirection for the whole Team, so I think that's what we'll go The arcanae is gonna be a bit tricky to take down For sure, so we're gonna have to rely heavily on PZ to deal with that arcanae So let's see what we can do here And I definitely miss not having a water type in the team I think there's like the the issue with mind shall you would normally go for The kind of pick that you would be like really first going to is Urshifu the surgeon strikes form Because then it gives you the water type and the fighting and but I really wanted to play The coaching mind shell in this team. So that was the big reason why we haven't got Urshifu Okay, so we do see Rilla boom And it's gonna get its grassy terrain up And there is Molotic as well. So I think turn one I mean, we just I the problem is max striking here is we're gonna proc um we're gonna proc the Comparative ability on melodic now we could switch into Clefairy here Or might actually I'm kind of tempted to switch into to Rilla boom honestly and just protect Oregon Z here And just keep our town playing for the late game I think that might be a better decision right now. I am Because I'm not really too sure what this melodic is going to be going for and I'm not like I would imagine the Rilla boom going fake out here and Something is maxing. So it looks like it's going to be it's going to be the melodic Okay This isn't the worst thing in the world because then the next turn at least we can double that melodic Put a lot of pressure on to it and whether my opponent wants to Stay in or Um Max guard is another thing. So that's I think the next decision that we have to make is what my opponent does Um, this next turn we do see the fake out Which he goes into that talent flame slot and the geyser which will be into that Rilla boom, I think They're leaving that alone so we could have potentially attacked with PZ here and Got our max lightning up which would have been very helpful um But the melodic's got to feel very very threatened right now Very threatened because I think what we can do is just wood hammer and go max strike And we've got to hope that the uh, the Rilla boom doesn't have an I don't think a wood hammer is going to take down a pz Even in grassy terrain Uh, I think our Rilla boom should outspeed their melodic The only thing that would worry me here is if we see A max guard on the melodic And that puts us in a little bit more of a tricky spot and we're wasting a turn of our max move with pz And that's not really what you want to be doing Whereas if we target it into the Rilla booms slot Which is now the arc line you could probably pick up a knock out there and then start the snowball rolling it's just making that call low because Um, if if we don't target the melodic here and it doesn't max guard and it does attack You know, it's it's tough. It's tough making these decisions sometimes See and there's a max guard Okay, okay, that's that's it's still kind of all right. It's not ideal at all because um I mean the problem that what we could potentially do is actually just wood hammer here wood hammer the melodic And max guard with pz. We're not getting any any value out of pz here But I like we don't want to just be like mindlessly throwing it away just throwing attacks out We had an opportunity where we could have got the arcane definitely on the switching And you would imagine here it's probably gonna go snuff um Like ideally I would like to see Oh, it goes Wow, okay. Wow. Wow. It goes willow is Oh my god, I just saw bad Like that couldn't have went anywhere from my opponent to get a great wood hammer into the melodic The willow is misses that really boom that's nuts Uh and really boom pretty much nearly gone now. Uh, we've got one turn of our max left Which is not ideal. This is not really how you want to be playing pz. You want to be kind of just Constantly shucking out attacks picking up knockouts picking up knockouts. That's what you want to be doing with it. Um, okay So I think at this point we'll switch in Clefairy and what's What am I more worried about? I think because we've got um talent flame in the back I'm not too worried about the opposing really boom So I'm going to go after the arcane now wouldn't surprise me if we do see a snarl here from the arcane It is one of those pokemon that can out speed for your guns So, um, if it goes for that then yeah, because it would make sense now to probably bake out our Really boom and then go for potentially a snarl, but actually the outspeed the arcane isn't bulky though. It doesn't take this Wow, okay. I didn't expect us to outspeed the arcane I think if you're running the arcane, I think you need to hit this like you max it So it is like making use of that base speed that it's got, you know base 95 So there is a wood hammer because of the friend god, we do actually take that. We know we outspeed the rillaboom Which is great for our next turn Um, now we get soul lucky in this game. I think like the rng is really really kind of not went In any other direction other than ours in this match But it's not over yet. We've got rillaboom. We've got Cinderace coming in now and I think the problem with Cinderace coming in is um, It does outspeed us so it could go for a bounce here to avoid an attack and I think We just follow me and go for a hyper beam into the Borethmic or however it is Renounced wherever that is from. I should know I should know but the rillaboom Um, and we should be able to take the rillaboom down without hyper beam and then we'll just pull the attacks in I just don't want to attack into Cinderace here and then Kind of be Locked out on the field not able to move this next turn We could definitely just see a double up into Clefairy where we see grass glide and maybe an iron head just to get rid of it Uh, that's definitely an option But I think the Clefairy support here is is the the warm thing that we definitely need To allow pz to kind of clean up from the point that we're at So we do actually see a high jump kick. They're targeting down that pz hard I'm going to go into Clefairy though. So I've got to be able to take that It's not a very effective attack there and pz should now Be able to take down this rillaboom do connect no grass glide coming up from the rillaboom and let's see I don't think it's going to be over there. No way. No way not even with an assault vest Just hard I don't think anywhere that you probably can but the calc is going to be nuts what you have to do so I think right now We just um Protect Clefairy let pz go down I mean, we don't necessarily need to we could just follow me again Um, and that's probably the smarter thing and then use pz one more time to take down the cinderace because if Clefairy goes on here Then we've got talent for him to bring in the back Uh, that will just allow us to set the tail wind up and then get that final hyper beam off if we need to Um, we may see the steel type come out here Okay, pyrobalt coming out Which just makes it easier because if if Clefairy goes down here, then yeah, that's we've just got the hyper beam to go into it next to Clefairy actually taking that pretty comfortably. Um And now I would imagine we'll see This steel type Well, maybe not maybe they don't have the steel typing because if they did I I would imagine that's what you would have Went for to get rid of the Clefairy like you would and especially with the life of like an iron head Is definitely going to be more than enough to take it down But like I say, we weren't in the worst of spots where we Had the talent flame in the back to come in and kind of rescue us if the Clefairy does go down So we've gone for that final follow me Another pyrobalt coming out. It will be enough to pick up the Clefairy here and Then pz is going to be able to pick up the knockout on Tuesday in the race So pz is actually even though we didn't make the most of our turns through those max turns when you're going to max We have actually put in a lot of work after that. I like us there. We did get lucky. I'm not going to deny that We've got very lucky missing that well always and the wood hammer into the melotic um even though we were kind of Were we doubling in that turn and no, I don't think we were I think we max guarded didn't we max guarded and went wood hammer Yeah, okay. Yeah, I think it would we would have been able to close it out It would have just been a lot more difficult to close out from the point that we were at Because we wouldn't have picked up the knockout onto the melotic So, um, we do get the win good game to my opponent and we will continue on Okay, so we've got our next opponent and they are playing a team of but free lipoard hatterin Lessy Oh joy Shuckle and the dust globs I didn't I didn't ever want to have to put one of these episodes up On the channel Why? Okay, well What we looking at here got the butter free. It's got redirection. It's got sleep powder. It is a big threat to our team for sure It's probably got the sash there. We've got lipoard. It's got a fast faker faster than a mind shower by one speed stat I think one point then you got hatterin, which is your trick room set up a potential g max pokemon Um, blessie, which is going to be all about minimizing and then doing this the power swap with This shuckle to switch defenses or guard swap, whichever it is And then you got dust globs the secondary trick room center. So we like there's a heavy reliance on us Being able to stop the trick room and that's going to be very difficult with that lipoard out on the field Now I think one thing we could potentially do is go club fairy pz It gives us redirection, which helps us a bunch against this sort of team Um, it doesn't help us stop the trick room But it does give us a lot of options to stop like the copycat and things like that So I think what we've got to do is play around this. I mean really boom and let's go magna zone And lock in because like I'm going to run out of time otherwise and we don't want to be leading with PZ and mind shout here even though mind shout does have the the taunt It's not going to be doing too much that side of that and I think the club fairy pz Give us a lot of options here, especially with the help in hand We can nuke things like the dust globs if you see that come out Like I say we can And with really boom at least we've got a way to stop the psychic terrain Do you see that? Okay, so we are looking at hatterine and dust globs. What are we going to do here? Um, I think we have to nuke the dust globs to be honest I think we have to go help in hand max and go max darkness into that dust globs and just get rid of it We might see double trick room, but it's more likely we see protect on the hatterine You know that the dust globs doesn't have access to protect which may indicate it might switch out But if it doesn't then we can get max darkness into it We can help and have you get rid of it and hopefully see the hat And stuff like that that would be best case scenario for us right now literally best case Because then the next turn we can go full max strike into the hat and kind of pick pick each thing off one by one. Okay We're gonna see protect Little protect coming out so we do get max darkness. I reckon that they're cutting their losses I think they're going for fact that if I lose one I'm gonna get a trick or not with the other which is a little bit risky because if we decide to switch out there Then they just double was it like double trick room reverse that trick room um And there's a trick room from the hat. That's the one thing you didn't want to see but It's here and there's nothing we can do about we can just play around it the best we can I mean, we'd still have clefairy. So not all is not lost at the minute. We might see Okay, bless it coming in And it begins and it begins um, okay Well, I think we follow me and then We just go max strike into hat Because hat's going to be the thing that that max is it is minus one. So I think we do get it. Um And the bless is probably going to go from minimize I think so here we go Much rather see max bless you to be honest, but it's not going to happen Okay, so there's a D max smite we've got to get through this The confusion if we can get through the confusion I think we we will have a chance But if we don't then it's going to be very very difficult G max might come on peasy prove that you're not confused. So Do it for the team do for the squad we need to do this right now. Come on come on See blessy Gonna go for that. Oh substitute. Huh? Okay. So substitute seismic toast soft boiled Come on peasy Come on I've never been so happy to hit an attack on peasy. Oh my god We don't even pick up the knockout. Is that sash? Oh come on okay, um This makes it very tricky now because We've got to get through two turns Well, I think we'll go for the same again um We might be better going full max dogmas this time into the hat They're definitely relying on us. Uh, come on Clefairy pull through Good good Clefairy For the best you're the best The best I'm so over the top right now It's just like I feel a bit overwhelmed. We've got this horrible blessy The blessy isn't a horrible problem, but it's horrible play against And then we've got uh, what you do minimize course you are Do that Feel like crying already Come on peasy come on you could It will bring in really big because we can fake out into that that hat. They haven't got the psychic terrain up So we're fine. They haven't got psychic terrain in the back. So again, we're fine. Um, maybe it's best now to Potentially switch out into magna zone Do a body press with magna zone um And it just gets away from like not great I mean we could stay in and just dog post, but I don't think we actually break The sub with magna zone uh on that on that blessy so It's not great and the grind is gonna begin. Do we see a max god from the the hat potentially? Yeah, I mean we've got grassy glide the next thing. So we're not in the worst trouble And another minimizer to imagine Yep, just making sure you're getting those minimizers right up and then you know what the last pokemon is going to be that comes in it's going to be shuffle um But this might work out all right for us because if the trick room ends this next turn then It does mean they're going to find it difficult to go physical if we can just get rid of the shuffle Um, and that's that's the big thing for us. I think But let's see Yeah, and that's perfect because they've just protected they can't do anything and I think we just double in Uh, do we go body press just because it'll redirect? Yeah, I think we yeah, we just do that and then if the shuffle does come in at least we're getting double damage onto it the grassy glide in the body press although it would be better to probably Uh flash cannon if you're thinking of that I just want the body press into that blessy because this will break the sub Okay, there's a final minimized come on magnazone. You can do this. You can hit it It's like the one on the left the third one far left It's it's it come on Good good magnazone now break that sub perfect, right Now it's going to be shuffle coming in. I don't think shuffle takes a wood hammer and a flash cannon. No way. No way It's going to have to be chuckle though, and then it just leaves us to deal with this pink blob Doom there we are there you are little chuckle love chuckle. It's such a good poke one I need to get rid of it. We need to we need to drop the nukes on it right now Flash cannon wood hammer done I think we like it's worked out all right by the timing of the trick room, um, which makes it a little bit easier, but Oh man, I just don't I just don't want a 40 minute episode. We just need to remove this thing Oh, I don't know if it's going to be enough. It's a fat. It's a fat chuckle Come on, please magnazone it anyone could do it okay We're about one step in on a about six step process. Okay try attack Okay I'm kidding I'm kidding. Come on Please magnazone Come on. It's got sarin grace. It's going to do all sorts of horrible things to us Ah Right. Well, we got to knock off And uh, I just got a body press. Hopefully you waste some time going for substitutes and we throw out miss Frozen Okay friends So I am just literally speeding up these terms because this match ends up going on for quite a while As you can imagine against the blessy there is quite a lot to handle And I kind of decide to try and take this to time Because I feel like at the moment with the minimizes setup It's our only way to really get through this game So it really comes down to can we stall out enough? So it really is about keeping the Rilla boom around Making sure it's this on the field to keep getting that grassy terrain up So we can recover a little bit of health because it doesn't matter too much If our opponent is healing health it just matters about the number of pokemon we have At the end of the turn unfortunately Rilla boom gets paralyzed by the try attack from Blessy and I still literally cannot believe the amount of damage that the try attack is doing this blessy is literally On steroids. It's insane. It's hitting super hard We do manage to obviously throw out with our magnazone which does help But we are just not hitting any attacks and we can't manage to maneuver a board position around where Rilla boom is able to go out PZ go down and then Rilla boom come in with the grassy terrain again And I think that just kind of kills off the game for us a little bit there The freeze definitely didn't help on the magnazone early on it would have been A bit easier if we could have maybe broke the odd sub to put the pressure on It feels so broken after that Okay, well, I think outside of that Blessy the team performed pretty well in this episode and I hope you found that last match entertaining That's all I'm gonna say And good game to my opponent. Of course good game to my opponent So without further ado, we've got the rental teams and just a little heads up with the rental teams friends So the rental teams are gonna be up I'm gonna keep them up for two week periods because we've only got like six slots And that's across like I thought with my pokemon sword a shield account that I'd be able to have another six slots But it's not how it works. So once you've got those slots up Even across games You've only got six slots and that's it's super frustrating. So Um, what we're gonna do in this one. I'm gonna take down Um, yeah, we'll take down this cinderace one Um, we've not long actually put this up to be honest But I do have another cinderace team up which is new which will be up this week. So keep an eye out for that and um, I will Upload this pz team which is right here. So make it public and Then we can check it out and then you can grab that rental cord and try this pz team out And I hope you enjoy it my friends Um, and if you do definitely let me know down in oh, no, no, no, no, no, we want to just check it That's what we want.
