 Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our Road to Ranked roulette series. We kicked off in our last episode with your nominations being thrown into the roulette wheel and it came out with this team right here. We had two good games yesterday, if you want to check those out and I would definitely recommend checking out yesterday's second game if you haven't seen it. The hype is unbelievable, not second game, I'm not going to spoil it. I'll put a card up there for you, you can go and check it out and then come into today's episode. To recap the team as always we've got the Salazzle, we've got Kingler, Shiftry, Haxerous, the Restricted Combination of Dialga and Palkia. So off the back of yesterday's second episode I'm hoping we can continue this hype train on today with the team. Haxerous and Salazzle put in so much work yesterday, it was incredible and I cannot wait to get into today's episode. So without further ado we're just gonna jump straight into it. As always if you do enjoy this sort of content guys please make sure to drop a like on the video, do subscribe to the channel for more glorious Pokemon content and other content that I'll be doing around that and leave a comment down below because you know, you know how much I love hearing from you all. So we'll go over to this screen and we've got our first opponent. So 1486, got some tasty points that we could have and wow, is that a sub striker? That looks cool. Okay, well let's get into team preview. Okay so my opponent is running a team of Gengar, Kyogre, Yveltal, Zebstriker. I'm pretty sure that's how it is pronounced, the Zebra, Electric Zebra with Lightning Road. Then Stuck Attacker and Tabulele, the Lightning Road really helpful for supporting Kyogre and Yveltal. The Lele likely to be Scarfed, you've got a Trick Room mode and potentially a Tailwind mode here for my opponent. If we can deal with the Lele, our restricted pairing does pretty well against this team. It's just dealing with the Lele and if it is Scarfed Lele it is a lot more difficult. We could go down the one hit KO route with Haxerous as a lead. It's not a bad option to be honest and the Helga is decent as well. I do want to bring Kingla here. Kingla could be good. Kingla could be good. Kingla and Palkia, not bringing any fake out, doing each shiftry. Let's go Kingla because the rain is going to be there in Palkia and yeah, we're gonna lock in. We're gonna get into this first one today. Yes, you need, if you haven't, I'm strongly recommending the hype of yesterday's episode. Like I said yesterday in that second game, probably the best moment in all of Rulet. Wrote around Rulet history on this channel. I think it was just amazing that I got a bit, I went way over the top with my reaction but it was all worthwhile. Right, we're gonna see the Gengar and Yveltal come up from my opponent. Haxerous is gonna hit the field. We could lock ourselves into stomping tantrum here and potentially get rid of this Gengar which would be a nice thing to be able to do. I'll go for that and then should we trick room? I mean it's probably the best thing to do. I think yeah, we'll go for the trick room if you can get it off. If the Gengar survives, it could go for a taunt. I don't know what the Yveltal's gonna do if it's a salt vest, maybe, which they normally are in this sort of team, but they can tend to be Z-Move as well so we can't underestimate that. Gengar gonna switch out. What's it gonna be? Stacks? Oh, beautiful. We like that. Donk, donk, donk. Can we pick up the knockout? Knock a bit. Stack attack is just too bulky, isn't it? Ah, there's a Z-Move. Where's it going? Is it going into Haxorus potentially? If it's into Dialgar, I think we take this. It should just proc our wiki berry. Well, we definitely 100% take it I think with Dialgar. It's into Haxorus. I don't mind this to be honest. We're getting a trick room up. We'll be able to get at least a free switching because Haxorus in trick room is no good so our opponent's kind of doing us a favor here. There's a trick room set up. Should we get Kingler onto the field? Should we keep Kingler for later and bring Palkir in and we can start doing some? I mean, the thing is with Kingler is that we can wide guard and get around the rock slide flinch issue. We can also crab hammer the Veltal. We could crab hammer the stack attack. What's the best option to do here? We could guillotine as well. Guillotine Veltal. I'm going to guillotine Veltal. I'm going to just earth par. Earth par stacks. Come on, Kingler. You saw Haxorus do it yesterday. There's the rock slide. Dialgar avoids. Kingler is pretty defensively bulky so taking that. Come on, come on, Kingler. Earth par. Procnochaka but because of the damage it's already taken. So we get rid of that, Pokemon. Dark pulse. Where are you going into? Dialgar, that's fine. We get another shot at our guillotine. What's going to come in? I don't think it'll be... Oh, it is again, go. Let's go for that guillotine again into Veltal and we'll just go for another earth par into Gengar. If we can get rid of the Veltal I think we can win this match. It's all about Kingler and your guillotine abilities. You've got the biggest claws out of any Pokemon in the game. Come on, you can hit the guillotine just chop into the Veltal. One hit kill. Protect itself this turn which makes a lot of sense. You could have went for the double up into the Gengar as a guillotine. It's probably going to try and target down the one hit kill here. I don't expect this to be able to knock out Gengar but does respectable damage. Sludge bomb. Can Kingler take it? It's not the strongest, especially defensively but we'll get Parkirin and we're in a nice position now. I wonder if the Gengar actually protects now. That would be my bet. That would definitely be my bet I think. The question is have we got enough to take down the Veltal? Hydro pump and a flash cannon probably will be enough to get the Veltal. We've got to double into it I think now. I think the Gengar probably protects and knowing that you can get taken down. No protect from the get- Come on. I hate hydro pump. I don't think the spatial rend would have been enough. We need the hydro pump there. The snarl course and we're going to take. This is it now because probably double protect but we've got one play we can do. Sludge bomb as long as we don't get poisoned. Of course. That's what happens. Is this the last turn of trick room it is? Let's pull the double trick room to set it all back up again. Hopefully my opponent double protects. I think they will. Here we go. The poison. This is why I didn't want poison because the poison is making it way more difficult for us. We've seen dark pulse snarl. I'd say there's tailwind on the Veltal and protect so maybe no sucker punch which does give us a bit of a better time and there's a trick room setting back up again. So I mean we're giving ourselves as best an opportunity as possible. It's whether or not this Veltal has sucker punch and I'm going to bank on it. I'm not going to bank on anything because when we bank on stuff it doesn't happen. Does it? Hydro pump into Veltal. We'll put it into Gengar and hopefully the hydro pump takes down the Veltal. Does connect. Come on. Still not enough. Man that is weak. So weak. We need Palkia for the Kyogre. I don't think we're going to be able to win this one now. That first hydro pump. We would have been better. Ah it's because it's yeah okay. Yeah another poison. A critical hit on the Kyogre. Come on. Come on really. Yeah we would have been better going for two special runs but then again special runs are not the most accurate move is it? Then that's why the poison is the most annoying thing. There's no support obviously helping. The Veltal out massively here and in comes Kyogre and I don't think yeah we can't win. We can't beat Kyogre with Darga. Not without thunder or something. We needed Palkia here to to deal with it and I mean even as low health as we were with Palkia probably get one attack off maybe. Never mind. It's looking like it's going to be a short lived match here. We'll go for a flash cannon. Veltal probably protects I'd imagine. We'll probably see what's about from the Kyogre. It's sitting pretty safe here. We do actually manage to get the Veltal so taking it down to a one on one but we've got no chance to take this Kyogre out. It's a bit unfortunate. There's a what's about. This will do more than enough damage. We had thunder. If we had thunder it wouldn't really make a difference from this point but go for a good old earth power. See what damage it does. It'll do about three hit points of damage. There we go. See three hit points. Nice beam. Good game to my opponent. I think the hydropump miss did matter because then we could have got rid of the Veltal a turn earlier. None of that wouldn't have killed. We should have probably put a lot more pressure on to that slot initially than we were doing. Going for the double up because the Gengos it got the poison which didn't help. That's just the thing but it wasn't really pressuring as much as the Veltal. Disrupting as much as the Veltal so concentrating down on that slot would have made a lot more sense and trying to preserve Palkia for a late game versus Kyogre. It's really where our win condition would have come from. A little bit unfortunate but not the end of the world. Right let's lock in with. Let's go Elite 4 as our music and hopefully we can pick up so we're one win two losses at the minute. Let's see if we can tie it up with our next one. It would be absolutely amazing if we can. I'm just getting tweets about the dead time between when I say I was going to cut and we'll cut to our next opponent and I totally forgot to edit it out on Friday's episode. And there's just me suffering badly with Hayfever gone. At least I didn't do anything too bad. I do all sorts. I balance things on my face and do all sorts of crazy stuff when I'm waiting for opponents so it's a good job we cut most of the stuff out. I'm really bad at fidgeting and I can't really sit still so I'm always picking things up. It's good to have a clear desk space in front of me and then it just makes sure I'm concentrating on the task at hand. But saying that I am going to cut now. We're going to come back when we find our next opponent because it might take a little bit longer than what I'm expecting. And we've got our next opponent finally. Finally. It's been taken. I like three tries here but we've got our next opponent so let's hop into team pre. Okay so our next opponent is running a team of Kyogre, Melotic, Lunala, Stack Attacker, Landerous Theory and Form and Incineroar. So we've got the restricted combination of Lunala, Kyogre, really strong pairing here. Lunala can offer Tailwind Trick Room to support that Kyogre. Lots of options there. You've got Trick Room on the Stack Attacker as well. Melotic going to be the thing that puts off those intimidators with its competitive ability. It can also take advantage of the rain. Also has speed control in icy wind. And then you've got two intimidators sitting on the end there with the Landerous Theory and offers probably an alternative Z-Crustle there maybe or a Scarf, a Soulfest even and the Incineroar. We know what Incineroar does. Tired of talking about Incineroar but I feel like Kingler could do some work here maybe. We've got to be a bit careful around the Lunala. I'm going to bring Shift Tree though because the Shift Tree is pretty decent against Kyogre and the Melotic. It's got Snarl to help against the Lunala for sure. We definitely want a dragon pair for sure and Kingler. I might just do that you know. I think if we do that it's kind of alright because yeah let's go Palkia, Kingler and Dialga. Let's do it. Let's get into this one. Kingler, Palkia, Dialga and Shift Tree. What a combination of Pokemon. I'm excited. I don't know if we can win. We can win. We can win anything. Living the Green Eyes, Emerald Eyes. Stacks and Lunala. I wonder if we can just go Snarl and Hydro Pump. The Lunala's got to feel a bit pressured here. Snarl, I'm just going to do it and I'm going to go for the Hydro Pump. I'm not really worried about setting the trick room up yet because maybe the Stack Attacker decides to go for that itself and maybe the Stack Attacker just protects. I don't know what Lunala's going to do. It could fire off and attack into Palkia but it's more likely to try and set up I think here rather than fire off as they move. Although it's not really out the question but it's got to feel a little bit threatened by the Shift Tree. Come on we learned Sucker Punch so if you know anything about the tree then you know it learns the Sucker of the Punch. Stacker actually protecting here. I wonder what we're going to see. What we're going to see. Hydro Pump. Nada. Snarl. We're going to see a trick room from Lunala. Oh well at least the Snarl helps us out there massively. Chips the Shadow Shield as well which is nice. There's the Trick Room. I don't mind that at all really because Shift Tree should underspeed the Lunala anyway. Um then we could double into the Stacker for sure with Leaf Blade but we could pull a switch into Dialga. No I'm going to keep Shift Tree. Oh do we because Shift Tree is quite important for us to deal with. Well it's not that important actually. We've got double Dragon we're fine. Let's just go for the same thing again. Snarl and the Hydro Pump. We'll probably see a Rock Slide come out here. Both Pokemon take it pretty comfortably. Get that Snarl off again. Do a bit more damage to this Lunala and really weaken it to the point where it's not going to be able to do very much. Nice crit there on the stacks and come on Parkour. Put those goggles on today. You've got them on. You listened. Good Parkour. Wow. That is a strong Hydro Pump. Bye bye Stacks. See you later. Moon Blast. Moon Blast. What? Yeah it's very weak though. Double Snarl. Shift Tree too strong. Um what comes into the party now? Incineroar. Oh no I'm bringing in the Kyogre. Deciding to bring the Olga to the party. It's never a party without Kyogre is it? I can't believe the Moon Blast. Moon Blast Lunala. I've seen it all. Primordial Sea. We can totally make a good work of... Are we going to underspeed this Kyogre or is it going to be like Min Speed Kyogre? And I imagine it probably is Min Speed Kyogre isn't it? It might be a good thing to bring in Kingler now and just go for... Do we go Hydro Pump into Lunala? I'm not really too worried about it to be honest. Just spatial rending into the Kyogre. Yeah let's do that. Get some damage onto that thing. Kingler coming in. I'll be able to take down the Lunala the next turn. Get Kingler in it. In the rain it's going to love it. Kyogre going to protect. What's Lunala going to do now then? What are you up to Lunala? You trick rooming again? I think you are. Yes. Okay well we can play that game as well can't we because we can trick room all we want. I need to remind myself what speeds that we are with like Kingler. Kingler how are we looking? 101. Okay so we're definitely going to underspeed the Kyogre. Does it have thunder? Does it? Probably. But we can totally set up a trick room. We'll indicate that my opponent's not got something they want in trick room in the back. Let's just go. Okay Kyogre going to switch your room. Milotic going to hit the field. Okay well we should be able to get a trick room up now which is pretty good. Lunala going to protect dead turn. Free trick room. Kingler going to protect as well. I want to go to town on this Milotic this next turn with these guillotines. Come on Kingler you've got to do it. You've got to get the Milotic. Getting the Milotic in this next turn will be the most phenomenal thing ever. We'll go space your rend into the Lunala that should take it down. Come on guillotine please. Okay Kyogre going to hit the field once again. Please Kingler hit the guillotine come on. Please please please. I get way too excited about the potential of a one hit KO hitting. Ah come on. Spoiling all the fun here Milotic. Guillotine. Come on. We'll go for that guillotine again and I'll go for the space your rend into the Kyogre. Come on. We'll probably see the Milotic switch out into Lunala expecting that the guillotines go into that slot. But I want to try. I want to try and get this Milotic. Kingler's got his eye. His beady crab eyes on that Milotic. He wants to get the guillotine. Stay in. Stay in. Don't switch to Lunala. It's a bad idea. Lunala will go down while I want. Okay Kyogre going to switch out. We're going to see the Milotics stay on the field though. So that's amazing. Space your rend hits here then we're fine. Ah guillotine come on please hit. We just want one one hit. You're good like that's two we've tried. We missed. Okay get the Lunala which is good. Apalco is in a decent position now to take on this this Kyogre. We still got Dialga in the back as well and the Shiftry. So we're not looking too bad at the moment. Not looking bad at all. And as long as Kingler can hit one of these one hit kills I think the Milotic probably protects this turn. Yeah we've got two turns of trick room. I'm going to guillotine the Kyogre and I'm going to space your rend the Kyogre as well. Kyogre might protect but I would say more the Milotic protects than the Kyogre here. That would be my best guess. That would be my best guess. I don't know though. Let's see. I just want the one hit kill to hit. Come on. Hype City. Yes. Come on Kingler. You are the king of all crabs in the whole entire poker universe. Kingler is the one to hit KO wonder. Joining Haxorus in the ranks the historic legendary status that you are gaining now. Palke frozen. What is this? Okay I mean we can't really complain too much but Kingler you are the man. You are the man. Come on. Let's get one more. Let's get Milotic once again. We'll just try and throw out I guess. We'll space your rend. Hopefully we can throw out. Palke doesn't get scald. Does it get scald? Guillotine. Oh my god. Kingler. Kingler is the king. King crab. Kingler. Yes. Kingler is just we don't need attacks. We just need one hit KO moves. That's all we need. Kingler is like we're not losing another game. We're not losing. We're going to tie this up. We're going to end in style. Haxorus did it yesterday. I'm going to do one better than today. I'm going to use both. I'm going to kill Milotic and Kyogre. I've got my BDI on you Milotic. You dodged it one too many times. What a great way for us to finish again. This is awesome. Okay guys I'm really loving this team. I really am. I think we could mix things up a little bit. Do let me know because we can activate some buttons tomorrow but we're going to call it a day there. We'll be back with another episode tomorrow so make sure you do tune in for more one hit KO action. I'm hoping we can at least get someone hit KO wins every single day of this week. That would be good. We're two and two at the minute. I'm confident that we can do something this week. It would be a lot of fun if we can finish really positively. We might activate a button tomorrow. We might not but tune in nonetheless and we'll see you for that one there. Have a great rest of your day. Take care and I'll see you all for the next episode. Until then, take care and bye bye.
