 Hi guys and welcome back to another episode of our VGC 2019 Battle Series, we are back here again today kicking off with this Diago Kyogre team that we kicked off with yesterday and yesterday's episode, again just a big thank you to each and every one of you that made suggestions for this call, we had a really solid start and if you missed it go back across this way, I'll put a card up for you lovely people to go back, check out yesterday's episode then you can come back to this one, but if you wanna just stick around and check out today's episode that is more than fine we have got Diago Kyogre Incineroar, the Forgotten Pokemon Zerkertree, Bronzong and Amungus in today's squad, as always the team is linked in the description for a lot with the poker paste and the raw paste for you guys to try out, check out and see what the build is all about, if you've got any questions about anything to do with the build let me know and I will answer them in coming videos or comments as well, so without further ado let's get into it guys, I'm excited to kind of continue playing with this one, it seems good, we haven't utilised the Carmine on the Kyogre too much yet so hopefully we can use that at some point as we go through this week, but as always if you enjoy this sort of content make sure that you do leave a like on the video, make sure you do subscribe to the channel and so you don't miss any of these daily battle series that we have coming out as well as our guides, our review squad circuit and everything else in between, we've got a first point of the day, Japanese player 1479, a team of Lunala, Groudon, Venusaur, Staka, Takacoco, Tapu Coco and Incineroar, why can't I say Tapu Coco, Takacoco, okay so we've got the restricted combination of Lunala, Groudon there, you've got the Groudon, Venusaur lots of really nice combinations in this team and I really like Lunala, Groudon, it was a great suggestion that we actually had to play on the channel and it's probably something that we will bring, I just need a little bit longer break from Groudon, but you can understand that I'm sure, okay the Incineroar is going to be really important for us in this match, especially for that Lunala and the Intimidate onto the Groudon, the Staka, Takacoco, Incineroar, we need to make sure that we are, we are protecting and taking good care of our Incineroar, Trick Room is going to be huge for us here and so I think what we'll do is lead off with Incineroar and a Bronzon and I think I'm going to bring Kyogre because it feels like it's going to be a very good idea. We need to be careful for the White Guard, especially on the Staka-Taka, the Lunala of course and do we bring what is our last Pokemon? Amungus could be very nice here, Dargo feels really good here to be honest, it's so bulky, we just need to be a little more careful with the Groudon but we do have Skill of the Swap on a Bronzon that we can take advantage of and alleviate some of that ground weakness that we do see from the Groudon and those Shaky Accuracy P Blades. Right, let's get into it and I did mention in yesterday's episode we've changed the angle of the camera on the screen so hopefully it's not disrupting anything too much and we are going to play for the the rest of this week and I'll review things and then we might change going into next week but we're going to lead off with Bronzon and Incineroar and we'll see my opponent lead off with the Lunala and the Takacoco, Takacoco man. Okay, I wonder if it's Electric Seed, it makes sense because it would make sense to be a Trick Room Lunala which I don't mind if you want to set Trick Room up for us the Electric Terrain being set up though. No Seed though coming up from the Lunala here, I think I'm just gonna knock off into the Lunala and I'll just switch out into Dialga maybe at the moment it probably or I could U-turn, I could U-turn as well. That's one thing that's probably not a bad thing to do but I feel like the Takacoco probably out of everything bolt switches. I'm gonna bring into Dialga for Bronzon, we need to keep it around and I feel like it's like a big target for like the the Z-Move but again at this point in the battle I feel like you might just sit on it and try and get ground on in to check the Incineroar, protect the Lunala, but we're not gonna see that, we are gonna see the Takacoco bolt switch out like we predicted. It's so weird, I don't know why, I'm being really weird right now but this is the first time I've ever noticed like Incineroar's actual shadow on the battlefield, I don't know why I'm mentioning that either. Okay so we do see the ground on coming, it brings the Sun, Moon Guys Beam, it's gonna be from the Lunala into Dialga but we should be able to take this pretty comfortably. Problem is we aren't breaking the Shadow Shield, still does a lot of damage though, but it's definitely in range for a Precious Blades to take us down. Okay let's bring in Kyogre because the ground on's got to feel threatened now, it has to feel threatened and I think what I'm gonna do is try and I'm gonna switch in Bronzon, I kind of want to switch in Incineroar and Trick Room with Dialga, just get the Intimidate onto the ground on, but it could mean losing Incineroar, which just feels like it's very important for us in this match. Bronzon for Kyogre is great but then if ground on Precious Blades then it definitely takes us out, we need the Intimidate. I think for the sacrifice of getting the Trick Room up it's not a bad option, I'm gonna sacrifice Incineroar. The Lunala is a bit of a problem for us, we should have brought Mungus to this game, that is the be all and end all. If we had a Mungus, Bronzon on the field, things would be a lot easier for us to to maneuver around that Lunala, protect. Okay so Lunala actually gonna protect here. Dialga can hang around, okay we're gonna see the Tectonic Rage, I'm hoping it's into the Kyogre slot because the Kyogre, it has to be, like if you target the Dialga here, you're kind of hoping that you're banking on the Kyogre protecting. But you could do this to get rid, yeah, yeah. Okay and I mean this works out so perfectly for us really. Incineroar going down, we get Kyogre back in and yeah we've got the water spout this next turn. That growdown has to switch out so we can double into Lunala. Yeah we just got a water spout and thunder I think. We could go Waterium, could go Water Z. Feels a bit overkill but I hmm it's just in case the Lunala actually protects here that's the thing I don't really want to risk that so I'm just gonna water spout and I'm gonna thunder. Lunala could protect for sure but the growdown definitely switches out yeah and whatever comes in that slot is gonna take a chunk of it out like the Tapa Cocoa. Okay Tapa Cocoa is a salt vest, we would have been better off going for. This is where the speed tears like it would be better speed tearing stuff. We do pick up the paralysis on Lunala. Oh it reverses the trick room. Ha! Nice. Alright that's pretty neat. That is neat. I do like that a lot. Okay we protect. We trick room once again I think. Unless the Lunala tries to trick room. I'm gonna trick room again. I'm gonna trick room again. There's no reason not to. We still got Bronzel in the back and we're kind of locking this Lunala in. We don't want to take any damage on Kyogre though so we've seen the Z move as well from the growdown so it's not on the Cocoa. We know it's a salt vest as of all switch. It's into the Cocoa though. Lunala paralyzed. Okay there's a trick room and there should be enough for us to kind of what I'm gonna do this turn is water spout and switch into Bronzon because I need that skill swap for when the growdown comes back out. The paralysis there though kind of from the Lunala indicates that it wasn't trick rooming because if it trick roomed it would have went after Adalga so I don't think my opponent went for the trick room there. But it's so important for us to have this Bronzon out for when that growdown comes back out because we just okay Lunala gonna protect yeah. This makes a lot of sense. We'll get rid of the Tuck Cocoa. But even if the growdown comes in now like the rain does stop electric terrain disappears. We've got the skill swap because the growdown probably comes out I don't imagine. Oh it's Stack Attacker. Stacks. Stacks my man. And we could just Jaroball into the Lunala and go for the Waterium into Stack Attacker. We could Jaroball. I think why God could be a thing. Jaroball hopefully is enough. Okay Stack Attacker gone for the rock slide. The only problem here is flinches which would be terrible and hopefully the Jaroballs enough to get this Lunala. It's not quite enough but we actually get so lucky here okay and we're gonna get this Waterium Zeoff so we're not flinched. Okay so the next turn we know the Lunalas actually it actually out speeds Kyoga because of that paralysis. Okay we got rid of the Stack Attacker now the growdown comes in now we can do the skill swap stuff. But I think we need to scald the growdown again because I don't know if we take damage from the Lunala after the Water Spot will be enough in the rain and I really don't want to risk that so let's skill swap the Kyoga. Get the rain back up. This growdown could be min speed as well that's the other thing that we have to kind of worry about a little bit so there could be a speed tie that we have with with Kyoga. Lunala gonna protect here. We just got to hope the growdown's not minimum speed and it wins. It wins but we do get we do get the rain back up which is super helpful. That Lunala protecting as well just gives us the opening to kind of close this match up. But we're either very lucky winning the speed tie or we just slower anyway so the growdown going down and now we'll be able to wrap this one up against Lunala. It has just protected so it has to go for double protect this next turn. It's never something you really want to go for risk and we'll just jar a bowl scald and that should be game so very good and my opponent just forfeits. So good game to my opponent and a nice win for us to kick off today again so that's very good and we'll just continue on and see how far we can take this team. Hopefully like we brought Zerkatry yesterday and it did alright especially with the electric terrain up. It did some big damage but the taunt on the Tapcoco yesterday kind of re-hindered our ability to progress with the team as much as we wanted in that match and utilised Zerkatry as well as we could but I'm hoping we get a few more opportunities to bring it this week because I do really like it. It is one of my favourite Pokemon. I say that about every Pokemon though don't I? I just love Pokemon. I just love Pokemon. Every Pokemon is my favourite Pokemon. Not every Pokemon but a lot of Pokemon. Right if it takes ages for us to find an opponent as always I'll just cut this. We'll come straight back to when we find one. But like magic we've got an ex-opponent from South Korea 1482 rated player and we'll go straight into team preview. Playing a team of Perugly, Cottony, Xerneas, Tapacoco, Kyogre and Ditto. Man this is a mad combination. We've got the Xerneas Kyogre combination here for my opponent. Is there a restricted pair you're gonna have the Perugly? I'm gonna be a little bit careful with that because it has got defiant, it has got fake out, it is very fast as well. Cottony as well. Something we need to be a little bit careful for because of that on-call speed control there with Tillwind. Everything that Wimsy Cup really gets in this one's probably holding the EV all right. Tapacoco there for the terrain control and Ditto is gonna be something as well that can cause us quite a few issues. But we do have a good... I think we're not too bad against this team. Like in general like Bronzong's good against the majority of things here. There's no dark type ghost type to threaten us. Dialga is also gonna be very good as well. We've just got to be very careful with setting this trick room up and playing it. I wonder if Zerkutry is worth bringing in this match. But really thinking about it I think we go Amungus, Dialga, Kyogre and Bronzong. Do we need? Do we need Incineroar? I don't feel like we massively need it. The fake-out support would be very nice but I don't think we need it. So let's get it into this one today. Good luck to my opponent and hopefully we can keep this clean sheet going. I think with Amungus and Bronzong though, our match up versus Ernie's is not too bad. Especially with Dialga as well. Like Dialga's not great going one-on-one with it but you can do a lot of stuff to help support. I'm gonna see the Kotni and the Kyogre come out for my opponent. What is going to be going on here? I wonder if it's gonna like... there's a part of me that's like screaming fake tears and Rotarium. I wonder if it's got taunt. That's the big thing isn't it? I am gonna just trick room though and I'm gonna just grassknot into the Kyogre. Because even fake tears and a water spot won't be enough to get Dialga. No I've said that. It would be choice specs Kyogre. Ah okay taunt in the Amungus which is an interesting one and there's the water spot. Both targets taking it pretty nicely there and then we're gonna get that grassknot. All important grassknot into the Kyogre. Gotta stop calling it that really haven't I? The thing that we need to worry about here is obviously the the on-call into the Dialga which could potentially come out. I'm gonna bring in Kyogre though for Dialga and I'm just gonna go grassknot again into the opposing Kyogre which should pick up the knockout. But it probably feels quite threatened here so it's probably gonna switch out. But I don't want to allow Dialga to be locked into this trick room here. Gonna see Kyogre switch out like we were expecting Ditto coming in. Excellent couldn't have worked out better because the Ditto has that imposter ability changing back into another Kyogre and we're gonna see that on-call there but it does fail and a grassknot come out. Constant grassknot into that slot and chunk down that Ditto. We are gonna see oh it is a red card forcing Amungus out. Actually don't mind too much and Dialga coming back in for us. Okay now we can just water spout and we can thunder into the Ditto. But we're making a good lead here. We are making a good lead which is great. And my opponent just forfeits so that is that. Right guys that is gonna be it's gonna be a short episode today but very enjoyable all the same. I think the team really just kind of shutting down those options really well and getting set up and then putting up opponent in a position where they can't come back from. Especially once they got the Ditto and to try and copy the Dialga to make their kind of defensive synergy a little bit better but getting caught with the grassknot onto the Amungus then shutting everything down. But I hope you've enjoyed today's episode. We've kept the clean sheet gone so hopefully you can keep that gone for the rest of the week.
