 Hello friends, welcome back to another episode here on the channel. I hope you're all doing great and as always, for anyone new to the channel, my name is Lee, also known as Osiris. In today's episode, I've got a bit of a treat for you. We're just going to recap the new series 10 rules and then get into some rental teams for you. So do stick around. I'm going to touch on series 10. So it's always good to kind of refresh ourselves. We've got the new rules kicking into effect officially yesterday. As of recording this video, obviously it goes into effect on the 1st of August for anyone. A little bit confused if you're watching this a little bit out of sync with when I'm uploading this. So series 10, we can see the link town is there. Be with all the information is always will be in the description if you want to check these out for yourself. But we've got a season 21, which is kicking off into series 10. Normally, the series lasts for about three months. So we can say from August, September, October, end of October, we'll probably get a new rule set going into November. Although we may not because we know that Diamond and Pearl, their remakes are coming out in November. So it'll be interesting to see what they do in that space. But thinking about it, this is probably the last rule set that we're going to have before Diamond and Pearl come out, which is very exciting. And it runs, obviously, as you can see from the 1st of August to the 31st. This is this season 21. And then we'll go down to the doubles rule set restricted Pokemon available national put decks Pokemon. So everything is available as long as it does have the Gala mark or the battle ready mark. Pokemon limits team of four to six Pokemon from one to level 100 or Pokemon to be moved to level 50. If they're level one, they'll be moved up. If they're level 100, they'll move down. We all know this restricted Pokemon. So the restriction in this format is one of the following per team. You get the choice of either me too. Lugia Ho or Kyogra Groudon requires a Dialga Palkia, Giratina, Reshiram, Zekrom, Curam, Zernius, Ivoltele, Zygarde, Cosmog, Cosmome, Solgaleo, Lunala, Nacrosma, Zashian, Zamazenta, Aeternitus and Calyrex. So a bit of a mouthful. We get the idea. You're going to get to use one of these restricted Pokemon per team. It's a bit like series eight, but the other restriction that we've got, which everyone's singing the praises of and I think it's a really good move. It makes it refreshing to play this format without this this mechanic and that is Dynamax are not allowed. I know we've covered this on the channel before, but just refreshing you guys. I thought it would be good to jump into series 10 officially just like this. Battletimer is 20 minutes, your time seven minutes, 90 seconds team preview and 45 seconds per turn. This is the 10th ranked battle series season focused on Pokemon from the Gala, Pokedex, Alivama and the Crown Tundra and any other Pokemon obtainable in the games. It allows for you to utilize restricted Legendary Pokemon once in your team. It goes beyond what other rulesets did and banned Dynamax. So there we go. There it is in a nutshell. We've got it. We are here and we're going to be able to enjoy it for presumably the next three months. I would imagine until Diamond Pill come into effect. Now getting over to the juice of today's episode. I have got some rental teams for you all to kind of get started if you haven't been watching the content that we've been doing over the last month on the channel. We have been doing a lot of showdown content just looking at teams and seeing how things are kind of shaping up in the format so far. So to kind of help you all out and I've put together five rental teams. I would have done more. Unfortunately, we are locked and restricted by what we can put up on the switch and by our Nintendo online account. So here we go. We've got a Tonoga team, Azernius team, Zashian team, Calyrex Shadow Rider team and E-Veltel team. The last one was hard. It could have been Groudon. It could have been Eternatus, but I feel like E-Veltel's picking up a usage recently and I think it's warranted. I think this team is really good. So this is the reason why I put it in there. So first off, let's start with the Tonoga team. Pretty standard. You've got the Tornadus there, the Kyoga. It's a bulky Kyoga we featured on our showdown series. Tonadus, pretty standard. All the poker pace for all of these teams is done in the description as well so you'll be able to see all the exact details. We've got Reggio Lecchi gives a little bit of additional speed control alongside the Tornadus. Serena is what is the glue of this team. With that Queenly Majesty ability, prevents any priority attacks coming onto the team. Makes it very difficult for things like Rillaboom to operate and just negates things like fake out as well. Then we've got Incinero for obviously a Grass type as well. Works well with that Firewater Grass core with the Kyoga and Serena and it also allows us a little bit of Intimidate and fake out and then rounding the team off with a good old Landerous incarnate and I've got to give a big shout out to Bebham, big friend of the channel, big friend of mine for providing us with the Landerous in this team because I was pretty stuck for getting one so he's provided a Swiss one from Gen 5 as well. So it's a pretty cool Landerous if you do use this rental, do give him a shout out down in the comment section below and I'm sure you would appreciate that. I definitely do. So this is the Tornoga team and we'll move on to the next one which is going to be the Zernius team. Check. Zernius really good in this format. We run weeklies over here on our Discord server. They're open to everyone on a Friday night and Zernius the last couple of weeks has been doing extremely well in these weeklies. I do post the results so keep an eye on my Twitter line for those or Cyrus VGC and this team pretty self-explanatory, support Zernius, help it get set up and then just crush whatsoever in front of you pretty much you know very standard Zernius. Got a little bit of bulk in there. Max speed on the Zernius. I feel like that's quite important and I have done for a long time with Zernius and then you've got Volcarona another very important component to this team with the rage power. It helps support the Zernius in tricky situations also gives you a really good matchup against things like Zashin because Zashin just can't really hit it for good damage especially with that grassy seed boost that you get from the Rillaboom. You got the double fake out there in Rillaboom, in Incineroar and then you've got Urshifu the water type with the Mystic Water hits pretty hard and hits a lot of things in this format for really good damage you know and so making up a nice Firewater Grass call, good synergy in there supports the Zernius pretty well as well and then you've got Regi Alecki kind of tagged on to the end. You could go on Mungus in that last slot because then it gives you kind of additional redirection it gives you a trick room check as well although I don't really feel like you need it in the additional kind of Regi Alecki support that you get here is pretty useful and so this is the team for Zernius. Again poke up here to be down in the description. Okay moving on to our next team it's going to be Zashin. Zashin probably one of the more one of my more favorite restrictors in this format super powerful got that Intrepid Sword ability so whenever it enters the battlefield gets an attack boost which is just ridiculous it kind of makes Intimidate even more more important in this format got a pretty standard set on it with the substitute you take advantage of that so you negate Intimidate Shuffling if you can get that substitute up obviously any further Intimidates coming onto the field as long as the substitute is active will not go through the substituting you'll not get those attack drops so it makes life a lot easier for Zashin to kind of play around with it's a bit more of a bulky Zashin and this team as you see from the poker paste to getting down in the description below and but I feel like it performs very well and that extra bulk is really really nice just prolongs the longevity of Zashin you know again got that double fake out and you'll see a lot of the similar trends in these teams but I feel like for beginning teams for people coming onto the ladder want just to try different archetypes out I think it's best to stick with this stuff that has been very popular very successful so far in the format and it gives you a good advantage to kind of get your head around the format and jump in straight away with a few teams so this is why I've kind of stuck some of you may be thinking oh every team's got Incinero and really boom on but you know they're pretty big staples in the format at the minute so they're there on each team because they do so well they do lots of really important jobs to better than any other Pokemon so this is why they're there obviously we'll be delving into series 10 as we go through the next few months so we'll be changing up it's just a starter okay got the Regi Alecchi in there a nice Firewater Grass Court again with the Urshifu very popular at the minute and then the Landeras as well coming in there to give the team a little bit of additional support so that's the Zashian team okay next team up is the Shadow Rider Calyrex now if you've been watching the channel we had a best of three last week on the channel with a Fevzi and a big shout out to Fevzi obviously for that amazing finish in the recent players Cup 4 incredible to see we had a great best of three we both actually ended up using Shadow Rider Calyrex in that best three and so this team took a little bit of inspiration from what I was originally using and a lot of inspiration from what he was using and what seems to be pretty much a very kind of common six that we're seeing at the minute with the Shadow Rider Calyrex you've got a few issues obviously with things like Porygon 2 so you really have to prioritize those but if you go back to that best of three and you see how Fevzi kind of deals with that issue you can see how you kind of have to approach that matchup with only having Ghost type attacks on the Shadow Rider Calyrex but I do feel like this set is amazing with the substitute it does give you that little bit of extra room to kind of get it in a super nice position with that bit of protection and then start stacking those grim near boost that you can do in that building momentum sort of thing a lot of similar support here you've got the Firewater Grass Core in the Urshifu Incineroar Rillaboom you got Nyaleego here which is a great check the things like Volcarona and there aren't really too many Pokémon that are going to really threaten you off the off the straight off the bounce in the format you know you're going to have to worry about things like scarf tapulele obviously if it's got Whimsicott support and then opposing Calyrex if they do have expanding force and things like that but you do have ways to get around that Regi Alecki here again going to be a great addition for additional speed control and but the team overall I feel like this is probably one of the best builds for Calyrex at the minute with this six so this is why I've tried to kind of replicate that that we're seeing a very kind of common trend and hopefully it's something that you'll enjoy if you do want to try it out and then we wrap up with the Veltel team and this is one that I do really like I really like Solvesti Veltel thank you Veltel in the format at the minute obviously it's it's hard to say it's a great pick when Xerneas is having so much success but I do feel like it's got a place in the format it can deal with both forms of virtue food very well it deals with Rillaboom very well doesn't really care too much about Incineroar as well and with that kind of 99 speed base speed it's very kind of good at dishing out a lot of damage got to watch out for things like Nyligo of course which is another very good check for it and Nyligo Anti-Met and Pokemon can deal with the Veltel and Xerneas pretty well so that is something you need to watch out for with the Veltel but to kind of cover that you've got the Scarfed Landerous with Intimidate so we do have double Intimidate in this team helps out against disaster matchup a bunch as well as a bunch of other things and then a trick room mode as well with Stack Attacker which definitely is probably one of the best things to have against Xerneas and with the Safety Goggles you can ignore Rage Powder as well so you can get the trick room set up and always guarantee that Gyra Ball into the slot that you want it into got to watch out for Ally Switch but I don't know how much Ally Switch has been going around in this format anyway they are the teams as I say I do have the poker pastes of all of the teams as well so you can pull these up they'll all be linked down in the description below so all the details of the spreads and the move sets and all of the items like I say I would have liked to have done more teams to provide for you all but unfortunately we are locked in with these slots that we've got so we'll have these up for a couple of weeks and then we'll start cycling through some new teams and we'll be featuring new teams on the channel of these next couple of weeks so if there are a Pokemon that you would like to see featured in our new series do let me know down in the comment section below we've had suggestions like all which we will be doing crowd on I'll definitely be coming to the floor and there's some interesting Pokemon like dustman the crossmer as well that we haven't really touched on yet and Russia and things like that that we have had suggestions for so we slowly going through all of these different archetypes and featuring teams around them but to get everyone started and just put these out here as a resource that people can use to help them just jump on the ladder learn series 10 if they want if they haven't already kind of got involved with and all the thing is a lot of players are already really deep in the format so some of these teams may not be that useful but if they are then job done and we're going to keep this quite short today so hopefully you've enjoyed it friends thanks for tuning in and we'll be back very soon on the channel with some actual series 10 content on the switch which is very exciting so looking forward to that have a great day and I'll catch you all for another episode very soon so until then take care and bye bye
