 Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our Road to Ranked roulette series, my name is Lay also known as Osiris, I hope you're all doing well, had a fantastic weekend and are raring to go. For some more roulette action this week on the channel, now we've probably only got another week left of this series, I'm banking on getting the rules this weekend at the World Championships like we did last year for the 2020 season and if that does happen it will mean that we've got one more week of this series which will be next week then we'll move into more serious competitive pokemon like we have done on the channel previously before coming into this crazy shenanigan episode series thing, whatever it is, but yes so like I say we've probably got one more week left, I will let you know later in a week when the nominations go up for that final week of the roulette series and the other thing to let you know is I'm actually on holiday, when is it, like the last week of August so first week in September we'll probably have a little bit of an interim period and then we'll come back but like I say if the rules come up before then we get them this weekend then we'll be back on it as soon as those rules are released for the 2020 season with some competitive, so it's a serious competitive pokemon so looking forward to that also it'll be sad to see the series go because I've had a lot of fun with it and it's been great interacting with you guys getting your nominations every week looking through the list and just seeing those pokemon come up and thinking every time I'd love to build the team around that and there's so many pokemon that we've not been able to feature so far and it would be really nice to come back to this like I say at another point of the season and do this every year is like a little bit of a fun thing to do and but without further ado I guess what we've got to do is decide those six pokemon that we're gonna be playing with this week so thank you again for all of the nominations that we've had from you guys remember to get those nominations in later this week when that fourth does go up on our community section and without further ado let's head over to the wheel and see which six pokemon we're gonna be playing with this week since selection is a really good selection actually we've got one pokemon in there that I'm super happy about because it gives us a big advantage against the the majority of other players it gives us a shoe up I guess and that is shinninger so we've got the shinninger there we've got porigon z we've got mercros salamence finally johnny salamence has come out and then soglio and zekrom as well so thank you so much to each and every one of you for nominating those pokemon you can see nominations on your screen right in front of you now we'll head over to the team and we'll take a look at it and as always the team is down in the description below there is a raw paste and a poker paste for you guys to check out and have a look we had some restrictions though on a few of the picks this week johnny as you know has nominated salamence for every week I think since since the nominations began and it's finally come out but his stipulations were you can't use any offensive moves other than giga impact and hyperbeam so we've stuck with that that is going to be as salamence make a salamence so not making it too easy for us staying classy thanks johnny for that uh poor salamence but we'll see it's going to be hitting hard whatever it's doing we get tailwind as well and then we've got tailwind pretty much as our main thing on the team here so we've got the z move on the porigon z as requested soglio is going to be a bit of fun to play around with mercro obviously very cool with that prankster ability and zekrom a nice pokemon I think the one thing I'm really kind of a little bit worried about in this team going forward is groudon but we've got ways to get rid of it you know we've got the salamence there we've got porigon z they can hit it for super ridiculous z move damage there so I think we're going to be all right um it'll be interesting it's going to be a lot of fun and we got all the shenanigans with shinninger there so it's going to be great without further let's get into it so hopefully it doesn't take too long to find our first opponent today I guess we've got to select some music I'm really pumped as well at the same time our rating's not great I'm going to just mention it because I have to mention it it's like the coin thing to do on this series let's go enter the ultra beasts as our tune a selection to kick us off today um but yeah I'm really excited world championships this coming weekend let me know your thoughts what teams what combinations of pokemon would you like to see win the world championships this weekend I'm going to put my neck on the line I'd say I don't know what am I expecting I think zernia's groudon it's a safe bet isn't it it's a safe bet um what core do I think is going to win I think I think oh this is I put myself on the spot now talking about this oh I don't know I think Lunala can make a big splash uh yveltal potentially in the right build can do good work but I'm going to say x-ray I'm going to say an x-ray team's going to win worlds this year that's that's my two cents on it x-ray and if you watch the stream we will be streaming this Thursday having streamed the last couple of Thursdays make sure you are around I will be playing an x-ray team that I've built that I would potentially take to worlds so maybe we'll have a look at that on Thursday if you are around link to my twitch account is down in the description but we've got a first opponent so let's hop over and team preview okay so our first opponent today is running a team of medichamp tabulele kayoga tabukoko lunala and nailigo this is uh Graham's team I believe the uh the man himself from Australia so it's a very similar build to that anyway uh we've played this many a time on the channel can we do something uh a little bit different and get a result against it because I don't think we've done that well against it any time we've played it I do feel like sogaleo does a decent job here uh the lunalas obviously the biggest threat to the team in general um uh salamence isn't too bad honestly against the medichamp they intimidate nice as well the tailwind would be good so I think that's not a bad selection zekrom's also not too bad I'm definitely going to bring zekrom sogaleo on the back and what we're going to round the team up with did we bring the shinninger what have we got the hit shinninger they've got lunala uh that might be a bit tricky to deal with uh like mercuro actually might be better to lead off with you know with salamence puts a lot of pressure on the lunala kind of forces the fake out into that slot let's just set up a tailwind to match theirs um yeah let's go with that let's go with that so see how we can get on today obviously the goal of the week like always is to finish about 1500 which is just seems like such a crazy goal it's like let's finish about 1500 get back to where we started we're gonna do this week 100 we've got to finish positive by the end of the series we've got to end with a bang that is the goal so we'll see what we can do today get off to a good start with a win here it will be nice featuring mercuro salamence from our side we're gonna see that standard uh very strong lead from medichamp and the lunala on the opposite side of the field so um I think what we'll do we'll mega evolve for sure I'll go tailwind and I'm gonna go could go taunt onto the lunala foul play could we foul play it um what's gonna be more valuable stopping their tailwind we've got tailwind all over the shop so we're fine I'm gonna foul play break that shot I shall get some damage onto it set it up for potentially salamence to take it down the next turn we could double tailwind it here none fake out's gonna come out so we guarantee to kind of keep up uh like with the tailwind that they're gonna inevitably throw up now I would imagine um but we'll see we'll see what they do uh there's the mega evolution from salamence so here we go featuring a very strong mega finally on this series uh very standard mega obviously um and then followed suit by that medicham going to mega evolve as well so it will undoubtedly throw out a fake out but the intimidate is going to help obviously against that huge power there's the fake out there we're going into salamence so we'll get that foul play off it means that we are going to be able to get our tailwind up the next turn which doesn't put us in the worst position because it means when their tailwind ends uh we are going to be able to have at least a turn of tailwind on our side of the field so this next turn we will just protect salamence we'll just protect and uh we will go for a tailwind of our own with mercury and because of that prankster ability it means that we're guaranteed to be able to get that before anything can take us down medicham can still do decent damage to mercury obviously the intimidate there is going to help we've got the evo light on the mercury there to just bolster those defenses but the lunala might feel a bit threatened this turn um I don't know if the medicham has or carries ice punch to be honest um medicham gonna retreat we're gonna see come to the field so that's fine because it's like we've got the tailwind up we can potentially clear the field uh we're gonna get impact the next turn onto the kayoga from our salamence um and I'm totally happy just to throw it out onto it to be honest and see what this lunala does now um it could go for the z move I don't know if it will potentially might go for it into the salamence if it wastes the z move now I don't really mind that too much there's the tailwind from mercury um and here is the z move so we will have to we'll have to cut this obviously because it's stipulations of youtube as always um but it's going to be into the salamence there's no way you go into the mercury uh but we will be right back in a jiffy my friends so it is into the salamence behind the protector because we kind of expected that to come out so we will take this we've got a tailwind set up now so we're in a nice position going into this next turn for sure and the one thing my opponent could do is potentially switch the lunala out to the medicham and protect the kayoga it's definitely an option to try and get um like the fake out support next to it um we'll just go for the foul play into the lunala that'll be enough to take it down after the shadow shield burst um and then the giga impact I don't expect the giga impact to take down the kayoga but it's going to do a decent chunk of damage regardless and potentially set it up for sacrons to come in later the big thing that I would like to do right now is get rid of this lunala that's the one thing that I worry about I think once lunala's gone so Galeo has a way easier time to come in and um kind of close this one out for us uh but we'll see we'll see what my opponent does I think like there's the smartest player here for them would be protect kayoga and bringing the medichamp on the lunala slot and we could have taken advantage of that you know we could have went for that yeah we could have went for the the giga impact into that slot and this is exactly what we're going to see them doing but we haven't been bought the one we're not going to see oh wow that does a lot of damage we should have followed up with a foul play there there's a warped spot strong water spout not doing anything obviously salamence is going to be a bit incapacitated this next turn the foul play going to do decent damage I would say to this medichamp um yeah you know um and we've got to worry about the fake out the next turn uh salamence can't really do anything because it is I guess it incapacitated um I'm going to go for like we'll probably get faked out on mercraw um and salamence will probably lose here I would imagine I don't want to make any switches though that's the thing um I don't feel like I need to at this point I don't feel like mercraw's going to go down here the fake out's definitely going to come into that slot 100% why would you fake the salamence out I don't really understand we should take this with you you're like yeah I don't understand why you would do that uh because now we take down the medichamp um that's it when pit is out um salamence is back in a position where it can just absolutely devastate something with uh either hyper beam or giga impact and the thing you've got to remember is if the lunala comes back in onto the field uh because of the aerial ability it's a flying type attack so it means we can actually hit lunala whereas otherwise we wouldn't be able to tap lele gonna make its entrance onto the field now that is a target for giga impact if I've ever seen one ever before and the weirdness have they got one turn a tailwind left uh let's see no they haven't their tailwind has pitted out and yeah the lele will go down to a giga impact so we'll go for that slot salamence doing some nice work file play into the kayaga we should pick up a double knockout here there's a giga impact once again bye bye lily yes this team is doing some work mercurial salamence all the work here we go and then we've got the lunala to deal with with four pokemon so I mean I'm pretty happy right now yeah I'm pretty happy I hope you guys are happy our tailwind pitters out and lunala are gonna come back in and we're gonna be able to finally get a victory we've found the key to unlock this team um oh I'm gonna just say that we'll go for the file play mercurial might go down here I don't know it should take moon guys beam but we're just gonna see the forfeit and we take a victory that's what we like kicking off the week in style four four zero as well I'm gonna claim the zero is the one so yeah off to a good start excellent selections my friends it's all down to your nominations so off to a good start if we can continue this on this week that that'd be incredible um watch it watch the next game we have it'll just all go downhill from there it'll all be that's that's our one win this week so there we go um all right but we'll take it and we'll see what we can do we'll go glady and next as our next track like I say hopefully it doesn't take too long to find the next opponent and yes oh there we go straight in there 15-22 rate player from japan and we'll hop straight into team preview this looks spicy so our next opponent is playing a qr code team consisting of groudon curam white ah it's this team it's this team uh taboo lele drift blim as abdos and the sableye so looking at gravity spam hypnosis spam uh it's gonna be gravity lele for sure gravity sableye is the other one there uh and then drift blim gonna be spamming those those um those hypnosis shenanigans do we have taunt on mercury I can't remember if we've got it or not yeah we do okay mercury is going to be handy here so I will lead off with mercury once again we can ship down at least the spoil uh the hypnosis from the the drift blim because it's not affected by the terrain um the other pokemon that I would probably like to bring maybe so goleo is not bad here salamence in the back potentially um we need to stop tailwind as well that's the other thing um so goleo could let's go so goleo let's bring mens because I think we'd need mens um and what do we want zekrom here potentially not um shinninger shinninger could be all right here to be honest um yeah if we get rid of drift blim shinninger could potentially nah no no not shinninger let's go let's go a polygon z because we haven't bought it just for the sake of it oh we need to get over to the right screen we're like a little bit behind clicking away today sorry friends I've got new transitions actually that I've just had made for this but it'll be for our main series when we come back with our daily serious battle spot series I've got all these new transitions that we've had um put together commission for us so it'll be like look really swanky um because I put these together ages ago I mean they do a job but they're not the best but the new transition screen is so smooth it looks really nice so looking forward to getting them and keeping them for that 2020 season when that kicks in so we are going to see the sableye and the tabulele come out here I mean we can tailwind do we just go since you're striking to the lele it's I mean the one thing that we could we kind of have to worry about a little bit is um the sableye go on foul play and a shadow ball into sableye it could be a thing but I mean we can get rid of the lele now that's the that's the one plus we've got for us and we can tailwind I think that's not a bad idea so we'll we'll do that since you're strike because sableye is gonna outspeed the sableye so we'll be able to get rid of the lele before we can do anything else so we're gonna see sableye go for gravity okay what's the lele doing move last into mecro we should take this maybe chasing down the sableye would have been the better thing to do because I mean we do remove the lele which is good 100% for us we've got the the tailwind up as well um oh that's sash lele huh I kind of don't mind that too much because we can foul play the the lele now uh with mecro because we should out speed it yeah we should you should out speed it um and go for a sun steel strike into the the sableye it's probably gonna foul play us that's the only thing uh that will be my big thing here um where we could double enter the sableye and maybe get rid of it will a foul play and a sun steel strike get rid of it that's the big question I'm gonna do it though I'm not really worried about the lele if it takes down mecro it takes down mecro gives us a free switching and we've got a tailwind up so it's fine I'm gonna say gosh but unfortunately it does fail because of the psychic terrain it kind of conflicts a little bit with your sableye there um with that prankster ability that does have access to I'm hoping this is gonna be foul play should pick up the knockout now sableye's the one thing that I do like I don't mind the lele like the lele is throwing out moonblast it's not doing any damage to sableye we'll lose um a little on mecro now it's done some nice work though it's set a tailwind up for us we still got two turns of tailwind left so we're fine we've got wide guard support on our sableye so we're looking all right um probably gone z's probably the one to bring in now like salamence would be all right but I want to try and nuke the ground on that I suspect coming in now and we can wide guard z move the ground on yeah and I think that's a plan z move we could double the ground on to be honest uh or do we just wide guard and z move it just to be safe just to be safe I think that's probably the better idea we'll go for the z move yeah z hype imagine if we misclicked z protect that would be the worst we'll go wide guard because I think it's it makes more sense to go for precipice blades now your gravity setup you want to take advantage of that so if the ground on does manage to survive this I don't know if it will a little bit surprised if it does uh because it's a pretty strong z move it's like one of the most powerful z moves in the game I think I'm pretty sure it is um especially with that adaptability boost so we'll see we'll go for the wide guard we're just being a bit cautious I think just in case the ground on does survive you know you do get bulky ground on as well we'll see ground on could protect as well that's the other thing you know we can't discount that I'm going to see the wide guard from subileo block any of those nasty precipice blades more than a truth poor gone z z baby z can you do this can we take down a primal ground on let's do it let's show the world you've got the stage is set for you to do this come on brick neck blitz I love this animation as well it's like the most mad little poor god z just gone crazy come on let's do this get this ground on and everything will be fine yes come on oh we didn't even need a wide guard gonna take a moon blast for our troubles oh sigh shock okay uh hopefully we can take this come on pz take it take it take it just just about showing how strong you are we still got that hyper beam in the bank as well that we can go for now but you've got to feel like so glale is in such a nice position to just close this one up and since you'll strike the cure um like we should take an attack from it I'm pretty confident we can just go for a thunderbolt into the lele and that's since you'll strike into the cure and this should lock us up and that will mean we are two zero which has never happened before which we do we've seen another forfeit so that is amazing what a great way to start the week team is showing its its general just amazing this already so um I am so happy with how today is went I hope you guys have enjoyed today's episode um all down to your picks remember and the roulette wheel for being just completely random but like what a great way to start the week and hopefully we can continue this on for the rest of the week thank you so much for tuning in my friends we are going to end it there we'll be back with more roulette action tomorrow remember we've got our four bonus buttons in the bank that we can activate come wednesday this week so we've got just to remind you the legend maker switch up randomize that and a patreon button so we can totally mix the team up later in the week but um and it's looking good so far if things continue like they are we might not need to activate a button I mean that would be in itself just incredible so we'll see how it goes we'll be back tomorrow with more action from this team have a great rest of your day whatever time of day it is where you are and I'll see you all for the next one so until then take care and bye bye
