 Hi everyone, I hope you're all well and welcome back to another episode of our Pokemon vgc 2019 battle series Thank you so much for tuning in today We are gonna continue on with this x-ray build that we kicked off with last week on the channel if you've missed any of The games so far from this team do go back up here I'll link a card for you can check out all of the games before coming into this one and there has been some Cracking games the last two weeks with this team So hopefully it continues got two more days left with the team before we move on to a new team next week So I hope you've been enjoying it I definitely have just to recap the team We've got the mega requires of the zernius the lander as theory and we've got the tapafini incinero and that's Serena So let's without further ado get straight into it And if you enjoy this content guys make sure to drop a like on the video Do subscribe to the channel for more Pokemon content and make sure to leave your comments down in the comment section below Just in general on anything and what you've been enjoying about the ultra series about this team about the matches that we Faced about what your hopes are for the rest of the ultra series anything I love hearing from you all and I will make sure to get back to each and every one of you as soon as possible We'll kick off with league title defense And we'll move into this screen because I always forget to do this when I'm recording So here we go There's the bottom screen and we've got John from Florida as our first opponent So hopping in with John and we'll move over to team preview. So here we go Right John is running a team of dawn wings across my tapulele coyoga a cell go Oh Amongus and that Charizard That's tasty that is spicy, isn't it? I wonder if it's Charizard X because Charizard Y doesn't make too much sense in this format But Charizard X still has a lot of utility here It would be interesting to see we've got the a cell go obviously it's gonna have the unburden with the psychic seed So it's gonna be faster than anything on the field We've got to be very careful for it because it can acid spray it can do all sorts of shenanigans And we don't want to have to really contend with it too much It's gonna be very difficult to deal with for sure and I think the Sasha and Irequaza helps out a lot. Um, oh How do we do this? How do we do this? I think Incineroar is very good for us here Obviously, we need to be careful with the coyoga and maybe bring Requaza Tapu Finney maybe requires are in the back actually tapu finney up front to override the terrain for sure And then we've got the terrain kind of control Against that Amungus for later on in the game and other than that Zonius is gonna be very good and Requaza again Is gonna be excellent. So I think we're locking with those Straight into it and get into this first one today. I Don't like facing a cell go It's one of those Pokemon final gambit on call all the all the stuff that you just don't want to face down Against it's just a nasty Pokemon that does so much work And there's some players that just have a knack of playing it so well that make it so difficult to set up against But we'll see what we can do against John He is piloting this so we're gonna see the Incineroar tapu finney come out for ourselves and The cell go Charizard Wow, okay Now this is quite interesting because what my opponent is probably doing here is is having the tapu Lele is a switch in to protect that that cell go this first turn To overwrite our terrain, but one of the things we can potentially do is icy wind and flare blitz into the cell go here We've got the intimidate onto the Charizard So I don't really worry about that too much And I am just gonna go for oh, I mean one of the other things we could potentially do is switch out our finney The icy winds gonna be so good though, isn't it and flare blitzing into the cell goes just too tempting I'm gonna icy wind. I'm gonna do it because I see the Lele coming in all day long on that Charizard slot Let's see what they do Are they gonna do it? They might not either. They may not there it is. Here's the Lele Tapu do Lele Get rid of this this the scarf that it's holding on which is the big thing we might see cell go just protect here That might be something that it does. There's the psychic seed boost What's gone final gambit, huh? Okay? It's fair enough fair enough Don't like that. We've lost the finney though. So freely, but I mean getting rid of the a cell goes fine, isn't it? You do get rid of no, you do nice chunk to the Lele As well. Hmm. Okay, let's bring in Rayquaza Do we bring in Rayquaza? Yeah, let's bring in Ray Because Kyogre might come in there now Could be Charizard coming back in for sure. It's Nacrosma Interesting earth power The psychic terrain as well. Oh, this gets horrible now, doesn't it? This is awful At least we know it's a Charizard in the back as well. So that's that's a plus But earth power Moonblast probably takes down the Incinero Hmm Do I just double their mega revolve sword stance? I can't really make use of the extreme speed We probably go down to whatever Lele throws out at us, so I'm just gonna protect Ray here Ah, this could be over before we know it. This could be a quick one. Oh If we get the Lele here, I think we can probably kind of carve a win out potentially but Losing Finny's not ideal, especially when you've got there's the Ultra Burst This the thing is with Ultron or Cosmo I could protect this turn Because it can't see me Yeah, it's not protecting. It's gone earth power. We're gonna get doubled into Moonblast No, you've done the right thing unless I bury prox here now. We're gonna lose Ray. We should have doubled Yeah, we should have doubled into the em And we still have a sash, but we'll get doubled into this next turn That's why we should have went for the Lele there with Rayquaza Ah Oh dear oh dear oh dear and then we've got the Z move to contend with this next turn as well with the Ultron or Cosmo Come on come on DS load load load load. Okay, there we go. Oh This is gonna be a very quick match to kick us off today not the best one at all Ah Okay, I think the Z move The Z move comes into Xerneas does it as my opponent going just double into the Rayquaza knowing that it's sashed That'd be my best bet Well, the thing is let's protect Xerneas and Let's hope they just got Moonblast into it and then how many turns of psychic training we've got left We need to be very quick. Come on Three too many we need to get rid of the Lele Okay Hope they don't double the Rayquaza Hope they identify a big threat. There's the Moonblast. You've got a hope for the Z move into Xerneas Doesn't take us down to our sash. Yes And then I only hope after this it's gonna be Geomancing there it is. Okay, I Wouldn't have thought you would Z move into Rayquaza. I think you'd Z move into the The Zerneas But behind the protect we shouldn't take a massive amount of damage. You might be able to Okay, that's not too bad. We'll get the Lele obviously with our dragon ascent The problem is if it's if it's megacharizard X and it comes it comes in next turn and It is gonna go for Probably a flare blitz Into the Xerneas or does the necrosis might just snipe the Rayquaza. I Think you're gonna concentrate more down on the Xerneas because at this point the Xerneas is the one thing that can Can win this game with a Geomancy All we go for a moonblast into the necrosis. I hope that we can take a photon geyser And that might be another way for us to do it and protect Rayquaza and hope then across my targets into the Ray Let's do that. Yeah, I'm just gonna say that that is what we're gonna do And I don't know if we're gonna be able to kind of pull it off, but we'll see Full props my man for bringing all the style to the match So go on your cross man. Just target into that slot. It is. Can we get the moonblast? It's going tailwind Oh my gosh, we could actually maybe pull this one back because the moonblast will take down the ultra necrosis now Wow, okay Are you kidding? The calcs the EV Oh Man, we need a double protect because the psychic turn then runs out If we can get a double protect with Rayquaza, we can we can still do this. We can still do it We don't get it. We get it with zone, but it's too late too late Okay, photon guys are there under punch. Yeah The psychic turn does run out though, but there's the flablets that you can just take advantage of and I Mean we can try the gym and see I honestly thought we might be able to pull this back, but we need the double protect It's been a very quick game Let's try the geo. I don't know why we we'd ever get this though My opponent shouldn't allow us to get this. There's a photon guys. Yeah, the flablets more than enough Tough claws boosted and very good game to my opponent and a really unique team as well Getting called out by that a cell goal Yeah, they just took advantage of getting rid of the finny with the final gambit first turn and without an ability to get rid Of the psychic terrain. We can't make the most of Rayquaza So something to keep note of going forward. It's a bit of a shame that we've lost that one But some good lessons to learn with the team and it was really nice to feature John's team as well On the channel with that a cell goal Doing all the work like I said, I don't really like facing those sort of things but never mind It's hard and best of one as well to kind of get around those sort of teams They they perform I feel they perform a lot better in a best of one situation and maybe best three But I think there's a lot of solidarity in that particular build For a best of three, so I wish them all the best going forward anyway We're gonna get into our next one We'll go straight into team preview because we've got a little bit of a mirror, but there's some slight differences here We've got the Rayquaza. We've got the Zernius the type of finny the incineroar then we've got a moongus and staka-taka Opposed to what we've got on our side of the field with lander us and Serena so What do we do here mmm Landers is very good for us. Obviously that my opponent's main kind of method of kind of Getting speed control dealing with Zernius is that stack attacker whether they'll lead with it or not is another thing I think one thing I could probably do is bring incineroar Zernius. I do want to bring Serena here And I do probably need tapu finny and if we don't bring the lander us Then we kind of can't bring the Zernius and there's a lot actually the Zernius isn't the right thing if you look at my Opponents team they've got so much to deal with Zernius. It makes it very difficult to kind of get going with it I think what we'll do is lead off with Rayquaza incineroar will bring finny and We'll bring lander us as well Yeah, then we'll lock in So good luck to my opponent and hopefully it's a good one Hopefully you can kind of redeem ourselves after last that last one and pull out a win in today's episode Be perfect What we're gonna see Rayquaza incineroar for ourselves Zernius coming out. Yeah, it was a Zernius from my point I wonder what we do here. Do we just fake out the Zernius and sword stance? I could potentially do that We have to worry about what the Rayquaza is doing, but if it does attack We're down to our sash and it's got to be worried about it's sash breaking as well But maybe not maybe it's banded like a lot of the other ones that we see are banded So well both mega evolve get the Double Delta stream up. We'll fake out into the Zernius. What we're gonna see this and we use sword stance What are they gonna do? Trying to send, where you going? Into our, yeah into our Rayquaza Is it banded? Of course, it's banded Yes, it is definitely banded. Okay. Now the Zernius probably protects here I mean one thing we could do is attack into the opposing Rayquaza and just snarl Kind of covers the Zernius protecting here so their Rayquaza can deal with ours and it cannot it can't extreme speed Does, do we get that Rayquaza with an extreme speed plus two extreme speed? I just not sure if we do I'm gonna snarl and I'm gonna go into the Rayquaza. I feel like the Zernius protects No, but we'll get the we'll get the opposing Ray Okay, so we win a speed tie we get a bit lucky I'm gonna snarl off into the Zernius. It might just attack though, and if it does then that's fine Now it goes for the Geomancy. It's all right. There's still plus two at the moment, and our snarl does hit. That's good That's the one thing we're kind of worried about like the snarl not hitting Would be terrible for us, but it does hit so that's it takes it down to, okay the stack attack coming in Can't imagine it going trick room at this point Now we could bring in Tapper Finney because we've got the extreme speed it's gonna do a lot to that Zernius That's the thing We could just protect and bring in Finney Because we're gonna see a dazzling gleam. The other thing is we could do is just stay in and extreme speed Oh protect. Yeah, let's protect and let's go you turn out onto the stack attacker The Zernius could protect you Yeah That's what I expected And we'll see what this stack attack it does. Oh, what's that red card? Huh Well, we were going out anyway. Okay, we get the landers in wasn't exactly what I was wanting in but I mean it's still fine Intimidate supports good There's a rock slide And they will be weakened even further So yeah, do nothing doing literally nothing This landers take a plus one That's the game I reckon we do you know I reckon we take a plus one doesn't mean so we can extreme speed and Do we just take tonic rage the Zernius? No, I don't think so because they could potentially Just Moonblast the landers anyway Which wouldn't be very good for us. Let's bring in Tapper Finney And extremes be the Zern just trying to get some damage off onto it see how much we can damage it Just a shame that we're probably gonna lose Ray here, but I mean, I it's going for the wide guard as well We probably could have went for that tectonic rage Hmm never mind Do some decent enough damage. There's dazzling gleam. Yeah right This is all right. We get we'll get into the rain and we can his away of these boosts What do we want to his really? We probably want to his So you just don't want to get rid of the intimate drops on this stack attacker. That's the thing Because we could just snarl it's just I feel like the Zernius just protects here doesn't it? We could just call the stack attacker No, we just see. Yeah, that's fine It's probably in flare blitz range now anyway the Zernius that does a nice chunk of damage There's a rock slide Finney avoids Which is a student We should take a plus one moon blast. I think from this range I'm just gonna just flare blitz the Zernius and just go for another scald into the stack attacker Depends what my opponent's got in their last place. I like switch. Okay That's not that's no good. We don't like that. We should have snarled. There's a moon blast. Where you going? To Finney. Okay. You take it. Oh We take it Finney is the boss man of all boss man's or boss women's Okay So there's a scald. We get it. Oh Oh Oh man That's it. That's a bit unfortunate for my opponent very fortunate for us We get the flare blitz into the stack attacker both restrict its down now We've got lander is in the back of the Z move. So it's super fortunate for us. Oh gosh Then Finney coming in And I think what we'll do is snarl and we will We'll just scald the stack attacker. It's got our life switch yet could totally go for it now But as long as we can land the scald onto the stack attacker, I mean, it's gonna go down, isn't it? It goes down And there's a full fit. So yeah, very good game to my point We get very fortunate with that term scald onto the Onto the Zernius there we had an opportunity earlier on with the tectonic grade where we could have definitely picked up The knockout onto it, you know with the wide god coming out We just got a little bit scared off about a potential moon blast playing and the rocks like to take down the requiser afterwards So, um, yeah, I think it worked out all right in the end It would have been maybe a little bit more difficult without that scald Crit definitely but good games to my opponents today and we'll wrap things up there guys Then we'll be back tomorrow to finish up with this x-ray team. So thank you so much for tuning into today's episode I hope you've enjoyed it. Hope you're all well and we'll be back for another episode tomorrow. So until then guys take care and bye-bye
