 Every chance it could miss worlds. Oh more actually switches out. Oh, that's even better for a step of cocoa coming in even better Okay, September mega evolve if we can get the ground on here. This will pull us right back into the game So there we go September Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our VGC 2020 battle series My name is Lee also known as Osiris and today We're gonna be continuing on with this whole and Kyoga team that we kicked off with in yesterday's episode So we've made a few changes as you can probably see on the screen as always the team is down in the description below There is a raw paste and a poker paste and there's always if you do want to try it out Do let me know how you get on with it. So to explain a few of the changes here. We've introduced Megaseptile into the team Megaseptile is a Pokemon that I do think has a lot of potential So I wanted to give it a try It's also got the lightning rod ability which really protects Things like her or things like Kyoga, especially from those electric type attacks that really threaten the team And we've also got a canto right you in there to really kind of just show up that that Tabacoco match up even though Sceptile is vulnerable to obviously dazzling gleams and things like that It can hit ultra and a cross ma requires a salamence for really good damage things that do generally give the team a lot of issues Also Kyoga as well. Now there is an argument for always throwing in something like Ferrothorn now We had the cartana there. We didn't really bring it yesterday. So I was thinking maybe we'll try the Ferrothorn We obviously had Stu asking where it was in yesterday's episode But the one thing I like when I'm playing this sort of build is to have something faster than Kyoga that can Put pressure on it kill it before it can move or do a big damage to it to at least alleviate Some of the pressure on other members of the team. So that is why I kind of opted for cartana yesterday And then again why I feel like Sceptile is maybe something I want to try So that's what we're gonna go with in today's episode. Hopefully it'll be a lot of fun and hopefully we get things moving It's only two games So we're not gonna get a lot of chance to get everything working today and hopefully we'll try this over a couple of days And see how it goes. So we'll hop into it now We'll get into it as always if you do enjoy this sort of content please remember to drop a like on the video do subscribe to the channel for more Pokemon content and Leave your comments down below. Let me know what your thoughts are on mega Sceptile as mega in this format Do you think it has potential? We've got hidden power water on it as well to kind of Snipe those groudons in a really tight situation. So we've got a first opponent great. So I'll hop straight into team preview Right a first opponent today is running a team of Lunala groudon more while Hydraegon, Teppakoko and Incinero So you've got the restricted combination of Lunala groudon They're really strong combination offers a lot of support from the Lunala with its speed control options of tailwind trick room It's definitely gonna have trick room I think on this sort of variant because of the mega more while there that you really want to try and get set up and Then going under a trick room environment. It could have tailwind as well We've seen more wells in a tailwind environment in the past Hydraegon likely to carry tailwind if it's not on the Lunala though, but Hydraegon a nice You know Pokemon here Sceptile does a nice job against the the Hydraegon It does put off the Teppakoko using those electric type attacks as well We've got to be careful around the trick room though But stack attacker does well under a trick room especially with Kyogre support and why God support that we've got there So I think we've got tools here that we can utilize and to help us kind of get around this sort of team It's just what do we bring? I mean Incinero Sceptile could be decent here As a lead and then I don't really feel like Houto is gonna be well, I don't know Houto is not bad to be honest I Do want to bring Kyogre I'm just more inclined to bring stacker because of the trick room threat that my opponent's gonna go for So we'll try this out first we'll leave the bird at home. Hopefully we can bring it in our next game And we'll see how we get on in this first one today, but it should be good I'm looking forward to trying out mega Sceptile because it's one of those megas that I think gets forgotten about a lot of the time And it does have the ability to outspeed a lot of the format and it can hit a lot of the format for really good damage Gotta be careful around these And The steels the fairies that can do a lot of well not the steels, but you know the fairy types that can do a lot of damage to it Now we're gonna see Lunala and we're gonna see more welcome up my opponent I think one thing we could potentially do here is just snarl We've got the Intimidate onto the mobile so that's nice And maybe switch in stack attacker or Sceptile I Don't really need to fake out here. I don't think I don't really fear the mobile too much Whatever it can throw out onto the stack attacker. It's not really going to be doing too much either an iron head or a play rough To be careful, maybe it has brick break. Maybe I doubt it though We've seen it before anyway, we'll switch out Sceptile. We'll keep that around for later on And we'll bring in stacks and see what we can do here and we're gonna see the mobile mega evolve So it's losing that Intimidate gaining that huge power It's still going to be able to hit and center off for good damage. It might want to protect you though Oh, we're not seeing it. We're just seeing the Z move come out from my opponent straight away It's going to be into the Sceptile slot. So it's likely that we might lose Stack attack. I will have to cut and into the stack attacker. It is let's see what we do here Straight down the thing is like we could have went for a flablet straight into that more Which would have been good. I mean we are weakening the lean a la But we'll see what this mobile throws. It's gonna be a play rough I would imagine it's gonna do decent damage to Incineroa as well play rough. There we go Oh, I'd avoid classic play rough And this is one of the reasons why mobile isn't used probably as much as you would maybe expect it to be Hmm now we can't really bring in Kyogre because The fact that I mean one of the things we could try and do is bait in the ground on by bringing in a Kyogre switching straight out into Sceptile and Going for a Flablet into the more I'll hoping that the ground on comes in the problem is though I mean that it's not a bad idea to do to be honest I would just worry about the trick room coming up, maybe But I don't think you leave more on I think you probably switch more out Out now that would be my guess really Out of the two what you're gonna switch out you're gonna switch out probably more Right, so we could probably get away with going for another snarl and then switching Sceptile in on on Kyogre Things are getting hard already. Eh Lunala going out. It is gonna be the switch I can't believe it. We kind of could have went for the flablets like we said I just would have thought that the more I would have felt more threatened here All right. Well, hopefully we don't see a play rough into that Kyogre slot because that would be Horrendous for us because Sceptile will go down. I mean we will get our Kyogre back in but then the match is kind of done Isn't it? Kyogre coming out. We're just making all the wrong the wrong calls here really aren't we? We'll get it right with the team. I think it's gonna take a little bit of getting used to to be honest Let's see what we're gonna see My opponent go for Ah Play rough That's into the incident or at least okay. Well, that's not the worst now We can remove the ground on from the field By we're gonna lose Sceptile. I think at the same time with doing this We'll mega evolve and hidden power water into the ground on Switching Kyogre and hopefully the ground on doesn't protect here because I think the ground on probably feels like It can get the incident or it can get a precipice blades are pretty free If the Kyogre does decide to switch in and I think the Moa will go for a Player off into that Sceptile and there's every chance it could miss every chance it could miss worlds Oh Moa actually switches out. Oh, that's even better for a type of cocoa coming in even better Okay Sceptile mega evolve if we can get the ground on here. This will pull us right back into the game So there we go Sceptile doing his thing hidden power we get the ground on yay Okay, after all these wrong turns we get something right so we're on the right track right now Sceptile putting in some work and Life has made a little bit easier against this type of cocoa Because my opponent has to go for the dozen game with the the cocoa now with the lightning rod active on the field The lot the Lunala gonna come back in. She's fine. It's burnt at Z move Which is which is all right. We can scald I'm kind of thinking that will probably see a wide guard here. Maybe if we don't see an attack I'm gonna just scald it into the cocoa though and cocoa stays in then it takes that if it switches out We'll protect the Sceptile from a potential Doesn't game. There's the white guard. So Lunala not doing anything this turn. That's great I'm gonna see probably a dazzle Has to dazzle. Yeah, and the thing is the next turn Sceptile can't take down The type of cocoa and we can focus our energy with Kyogre onto this Lunala, which is really nice So scald actually taking the cocoa down, which is perfect. All right, and then the more well to come back in the threat of I Do they wide guard the next turn? I don't know Do they do they we've got incident on the back It's probably worth bringing incident or in to be honest and getting the intimidate onto the more well Getting a skull down to it as well. And hopefully we take another player from this more well Oh, I started this off when we started. I was like, I mean, it's not over yet But I was like we're definitely gonna lose this game We should take a player off if it comes out side shot coming into the Kyogre Makes a lot of sense We do take that quite comfortably though because Kyle does just a beast this gold not picking up the knockout no burn Play rough. Yeah, Procaberry Very there we go. So back in business my friends Yeah, we're fine now on me I mean one of the things we could do is switch Kyogre out into Sceptile flablets the more well I Just feel like we'll probably get side-shocked from the I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna switch Sceptile out and I'm gonna go for a flablets into the more well Just to get rid of it Because the Lunala fire incident or is no threat at all once we remove the more well it can protect here. That's fine Sceptile will take a Side shock or a moon guys beam whatever comes into it. It's like a bunch coming out It does fail as a side shock like we say once we remove the more well In cinema can win this game for us. So it should be fine flablets and Teams doing all right. I'm surprised that we actually pulled it back from where we were but it goes to show if you can Make those really not like it the surprise player wasn't it they're in power water but coming in clutch with the Sceptile there and Helping us against the tap cocoa whereas before we had no answer at all. Right. Let's go for a Um, let's go for a leaf storm. Let's see what the damage is like and we'll just snarl as well I might say the full fit here. Nope. I'm gonna get the leaf storm. Let's see how much damages does come on. Let's see It's not bad. It's not bad. It's not bad damage against the Lunala when guys beam will come out It will pick up the knockout onto Sceptile and but the snarl should be enough to To net the kill there. Oh gone for the incident It's not and in C Pulling out the wins so very good game to my opponent a nice win for us here as I say I didn't feel so confident after like turn two. I thought It's a goal gone downhill But Sceptile the mega the main man of the team the main girl of the team whichever one want to look at Pulling through that hidden power water and then just that the presence of it with that lightning rod against the cocoa Give us enough room to deal with it with Kyaga. So Excellent start for us today. Hopefully that all continues and we don't want to save that and we'll move on to our next game It's also nice, you know, and I think one of the things is you kind of forget about these megas that potentially have a little bit of Potential and they get overlooked and then when you throw them into a team you think it's really me Me isn't it? It's just a gimmick, but I think sometimes It's a little mistranslated and these Pokemon can actually perform quite well in the right environment And if you've got the right reasoning for it, and I think you can justify why you've got it in the team Like I said at the very start. I do worry about Kyoga opposing Kyoga more than anything else And it's against us. So we've got at least two ways to deal with it now, you know, we've got the right you We've got the Voltackle on there that can pick up the knockout onto it if we need it to and then we've got the septile as well both Pokemon as well out speed it. We've got to really just manage our speed control We've got tailwind. We've got trick room on the team though So we've got enough options in our team to kind of get around and support the other members of the team But just without any speed control at all because speed control does end You want to be able to have those situations where you're not gonna lose instantly if you'll if you speak control If you can't get it up or you're not managing it very well So that's why we've got the right you and the septile in the team to kind of help us out in different scenarios Because I'm not always going to be able to bring the septile and those matches Hopefully I'll be able to bring the right you and vice versa. So Um, it's just Lunala groud on today. What's happening? Every time we play we get the same cause game one and game two So we'll hop straight into team preview. I think this is the world championships Winning team which is good again going to be Lunala groud on tailwind can be the predominant Speed control method here. Although you have got the trick room as well with the stack attacker Support and cast of mega salamence with that intimidate support along with the Incinero that carries that along with a fake out Good pivot dark typing as well protects at Lunala really nice switching for it And type of finny for the terrain support and then the stack attack I like it safe for that trick room mode as well. So and Obviously, Kyogre going to be really good here Good Sceptile be good. Sceptile could be good in this matchup again Um, I think I want to lead sceptile Incinero Sceptile's gonna be able to nab the chaos onto the salamence. Hopefully does some nice damage to the type of finny This stack attacker and as we've seen in the previous match can get the groud on with that cheeky switching We'll go with Kyogre Um, and do I want hall on this match hall could be generally quite good I have to be a bit careful around the the stack attacker, of course Um, and we could bring our own stacker just to give us a bit of protection Um, but I'm gonna go with the bird Last minute decision because we didn't bring the bird in the last game Hopefully it doesn't come back to bite us in the butt But I'm sure it won't um We'll see how we get on this team's always going to be hard to deal with and if it is the The identical team to the the world championships winning team then we know the finny has protect So there's there's little oddities here and the finny's going to be Um, something we need to watch out for All right, so salamence and lunala coming up for my opponent um Now lunala does cause us a few headaches here Because it can pick up a knockout onto the septile that doesn't hold the z move Um, we could just go straight for the mega evolution and go for dragon pulse into salamence I just don't want to lose septile to him one, but I don't want to allow my opponent to get tail wind up either. So It's a dragon pulse too obvious into salamence probably I mean if we've got switches we could switch in whole We could definitely do that Um, and just go for a snarl and then preserve the septile for a little later in the game Which I think might be a little bit Smarter because septile gives us that that really solid answer to the ground on Um, I'm gonna go for the snarl And switch into whole will preserve septile. I don't want it going down just now I'll kick myself obviously if the salamence doesn't protect it and we could have got a dragon pulse off I just feel like it's too obvious and I feel like Yeah, we're not going to be allowed to to get that off So we're going to see the ground on come in And which is fine Fine fine fine because we can use that weather ball as well. Hopefully this be a good episode if we can get this weather ball going So Desolate land going to pop up and there's a snarl we're going to see a trick room. That's fine though. That's fine I really don't mind that too much um Because once the ground on goes down, I think if we can preserve incinerole Life gets a lot easier for um A septile once the ground on is removed from the field and hot or as well to be honest So what I'm going to do switch into kayoga My opponent probably knows I will do this, but we will go for that weather ball With our whole I don't think this ground on has any rock type attacks if it does We might be in a little bit of trouble, but Another lunala's not got the z move. So we're not really if the ground on hasn't got Rock slide or something like that. Then we know we're not really in any trouble. Ho can The rain will come up. Kayoga will be able to take the attacks It should take a precipice blades and a moon guys beam From these two and we should pick up the the ground on kill here. So Let's see. See how it goes Right kayoga gonna hit the field gonna overwrite the weather So many times this happened in this format. There's a primordial sea I'm excited about the weather ball lot Why god? Come on precipice blades We're gonna get it. We're gonna get it We're gonna get it kayoga taking that pretty comfortably weather ball Come on. Oh, you you absolutely the best bird. Bye. Bye groudon. Bye. Bye. See you later. Adios amigos There we go. Get rid of the ground on Oh Feels good feels good. I hope you're enjoying this my friends The big bird and the uh the bison the water bison Doing their thing now stacks is coming in makes things a little bit more difficult for us Uh, all right We're gonna take a rock slide. I don't know we need to intimidate I mean we could we could potentially just get incinero onto the field now um We're gonna take a rock slide regardless. I think uh, yeah, we'll bring in incinero We'll protect kayoga We want to try and not allow kayoga to get taken down this turn a rock slide And the moon guys probably will get us at least the next turn we can um We can snarl we can fake out the stack attack that we can go for some some things Um, but we need to try and nerve that stacks in the minute. Oh, it has the rockium. I'm sure doesn't it has the rockium z No, we're gonna lose incinero Unless it goes into the kayoga knowing that Uh, the the the whole is not really the issue here um And thinking well, we've got rock slide. We can take it down the next turn If we just get rid of this car, but it's not optin to do that Uh, it's gone into incinero. Can we take it minus one? I doubt it That is gonna make things a lot more difficult for us Especially after a beast boost I might lose this after the hype we might lose this now Yeah, because We need to stall out the trick room We'll bring in septile Like it's just neutral now. It's not Plus one or anything. It's just what how fast that lunala is that's if we can get a scald into the stack attack It makes things a lot easier Um, how many turns a trick room we've got left to okay, so we need to attack really this turn um And then we can double protect Uh, I'd rather preserve septile though for the salamence matchup later You could try double protect. I think you're gonna target I really do think you probably target the kayoga here over everything else I'm gonna leaf storm and I'm gonna I'm gonna double up into the stacker here You know, I'm switching out. Okay. Well, that makes things a little bit easier because we should take a rockslide with both both targets here Unless we see gyro ball septile mega evolving Has to rockslide the kayoga's too much of a threat Oh stone engine it misses I don't think we would have taken that. Okay. Well These low accuracy moves today are being very kind to us leaf storm Not ideal really into the salamence. We've got one turn of trick room left We need to switch out our septile 100% I think the stone edge would have taken kayoga down there. I really need to do the calc The new view out there that have time do that calc stack attacker. It was neutral So we've got an intimidate onto it. I've got a boost boost. So I'll just neutral attack stat Um Yeah, we'll switch septile out into ho ho and we'll we'll try and get a nice beam onto the mence I don't think the mence is gonna attack. It has to protect you. It really doesn't it Um My opponent needs to try and get a tail wind up and if the lunala hasn't got tail wind then um We probably would have been better going for a scald into the lunala And on there just got wide guard, but it probably hasn't got protect as well. I'm not sure I don't really know the details too much of the the the the world champs winning team to be honest so I don't know but We'll make this play. Well, we need to reset the the special attack drop from septile And ho ho is in pretty decent shape right now Salamence mega evolving Okay, let's the protect. Okay I think that's beam. Where you going into septile? Maybe Into this hole You know, I want a tail wind. I really do want a tail wind, but We've just got it. I think concentrate down on the lunala here It's got brave bird into it and Hmm It's not gonna trick room. I don't think unless they suspect the tail wind What could they do salamence could tail wind? I guess I don't think it will Let's tail wind This could be the end of the game for us if we see a trick room here. I think we lose, but I'm gonna tail wind protect kyle there At worst we match tail winds. I think Double edge. Oh, no, I think we're gonna see a trick room. No Oh, no Oh, it's all gone wrong. It's all gone wrong Um Hmm No, it would have been so much. Ah, what have we done? What have we done? Okay, well I think we can probably try and recover here. Could we switch into septile? We'll go down to a double edge Kyle go go down to a double up We're not going to be able to we're better off trying to stall out a tail wind. I think than anything else Uh, we'll recover We'll switch into septile. I think kyle is going to be a better option if our tail wind goes down Um, and then we've got two turns of trick room to take advantage of with kyle go and hope that it's slow What have we done? There's the moon guys beam Are you going? it's a whole September okay Hyper voice. Yeah, it's gonna take Kyle go would have had a chance to attack there. So they've made a nice play But we're gonna need a double protect We're gonna need a double protect. I think And probably what they'll do is reverse the the trick room on the last turn of our tail wind So we've got to hope that two brave birds is enough to get this lunale iron and that whole has enough in the tank to go for it Now what we could potentially do here is Predict that my opponent's not going to attack the kyogre and double into that whole expecting kyogre to protect here That could be an option for us Um Am I just going to ice beam? Am I going to ice beam the salamence here? Do they double the whole? I reckon they do. I'm gonna ice beam Come on. We need to win this. We've got the weather ball lunala protecting. Hopefully we don't see a double edge into The kyogre Every time we get it wrong every time Okay, brave bird. Yeah I don't know. Well, I mean we can We can recover this turn because I don't think it double up from both targets will take us down And then the trick room will be faster than salamence Ho ho might be able to come out of this on top. Maybe Tail-winding when trick room goes up We just didn't need to press that button I just didn't well I think if you're so convinced that we're going to tailwind in that situation then it makes a lot of sense to do that I just personally, I didn't feel like you would go for that because I think um matching tailwind If you've got it there, then it's probably better to do that because the kyogre The the the risk of us not tailwinding there a new trick room and just loses you the game so but You know, maybe we could have just held off a little bit as a double edge Oh, I don't know if we're going to take a moon guys beam, but we do actually I'm going to see Yeah, the trick room reverse now I mean we can we can always just try and recover off and just let hope this salamence if this salamence kills itself then you know Because a double edge should proc a berry for us now Yeah Should proc a berry. Yeah, so this might just give us what we need to win out because I think if we can Yeah, we're faster than lunala as well. So that makes things a bit easier for us Depends how much this does though Now I think if your salamence you probably go Hyper voice now So I'm banking on the hyper voice here rather than the double edge, which would knock itself out White guard Doesn't want to attack or suspect. I don't know Let's go on double edge. Okay We should take this Oh, we're gonna knock ourselves out with brave bird though. No This is like the worst end unless we There's no way we pick up the knockout. There's no way All we needed to do is recover all we needed to do is recover I thought you'd go hyper voice because you know that the salamence goes down there and if we recover We can beat the lunala definitely one on one The logic anyway Two good games today I'm really disappointed with the result of this last one But I feel positive about going into the rest of the week with the team So positivity hat on We'll come back tomorrow and we'll carry on with the team Hopefully see a few other members of the team that last match was definitely winnable At least we've got the weather ball off though. That was ideal. Just closing out that match was a little bit Yeah, we made it difficult for ourselves, didn't we? Thank you so much for tuning in. I hope you've enjoyed today's episode at least hope you found it entertaining and found some Worth and septile. Yeah, that would be good obviously And we'll be back tomorrow my friends. Have a great day whatever you're up to and I'll see for the next one So until then take care and bye. Bye
