 Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our flinch squad circuit review show We are here in the ultra series now kicking off in week one this week in the ultra series now We've shaken things up a little bit from the Sun series in the moon series And we've restructured how the ultra series circuit is gonna be running now We've got 22 players taking part in the ultra series circuit this season. It's gonna be fantastic We're gonna have some incredible games But before we get into anything just to explain the ultra series season structure and we'll get into that right now So as you can see on your screen right now, the players are gonna start off with a Swiss bracket So it will be five weeks five rounds of Swiss through each week So each week we will be featuring one game from that specific game week until we reach the next stage of the competition Which will split all of the players into group stages as you can see here We will move from the Swiss rounds This is the seeding part of the ultra series circuit and then we move into a group round robin situation And this is where we will feature a few more games each week of the series covering each group stage Before moving on to a top cut and a knockout style tournament where we then eventually crown our ultra series champion of the circuit It's gonna be so exciting So that is the structure of the tournament as I say we've got 22 players kicking us off today But we're gonna feature one match in particular and by featuring one match It means that we've got a bit more time to analyze it look at it really Feature these players each and every week before we get into these group stages and see them duke it out at the early parts of the Ultra series as they're fighting for that seeding to go into those group stages Which is gonna be the next segment of the ultra series circuit So without further ado, let's get into the pairings for week one as you can see on your screen We've got the pairings here. You've got Chansey Mansi versus Xenophis days You've got Alex versus Costa, Salkran VGC versus Yorain, Krim versus Luigi, Pocomarty VGC versus Salty Electabuzz, Stu 2906 versus Cameron Nightlight 26 versus Will Nappy versus Marcus, Worms Eye versus Pingo VGC, Kazumi versus Johnny Hacks and Shade versus Ryan PB Hibbet So this is an incredible way for us to kick off this week One of the first matches that we're gonna feature this week going into the Ultra series is gonna be between our second place runner-up in the Moon series Stu 2906 versus our newcomer to the circuit Cameron So without further ado guys, let's jump into this first game today And I hope you enjoy it as always if you do enjoy this content Please make sure to leave a like on the video Subscribe to the channel for more Pokemon content and leave your comments in the comment section below Let me know what your thoughts are on the featured game today And if you've got any players that you would like to see featured in the future and who you're rooting for going into this Ultra series circuit. So as I say without further ado guys, let's get into this first one today Which will be between Stu and Cameron So we'll kick straight off into it and you can see Stu on the bottom of your screen and Cameron on the top of Your screen as you see Stu challenging Cameron here in that nice polo shirt And now doing it in a little bit slow down makes it a lot easier now for me So we're gonna see Cameron lead off with the Togokis and Manderbuss very interesting lead not something You see so often in the Ultra series and also something not so seen very often from Stu as well with that Porygon 2 pairing up with that Tabilele Now we do see the psychic terrain activate on the Lele the download ability activate on that Porygon 2 We do see just a follow me this turn one coming out from Cameron's Togokis Gonna pull in all attacks and protect that Manderbuss going into this first one as we see a Psychinium Z fired up from this Tabilele It is gonna be the shat psyche and it will be into that Togokis because of the follow me So Togokis known for being quite a bulky Pokemon is probably able to take this But at the same time Cameron probably not appreciating all the damage that the Togokis is gonna take here because it takes a Little bit out of the game for the rest of this game, and you know it depends what this oh wow It actually picks up the knockout. I was expecting it to survive there big kill there for Stu taking a huge advantage turn one File play coming out from the Manderbuss into the Porygon 2 doing some nice damage there as we see a trick room set up from The little P2 there so dimensions turned for the next five turns here as we see Cameron now switching his ground on in Place of that fallen Togokis So Primal Groudon gonna make its appearance to the field to use that red orb activate that and bring itself to the field with That desolate land ability bringing the Sun with it and you've got to think in In trick room now Groudon's probably in not a bad place It's definitely going to be under speeding that Tabilele you would imagine and doing some really threatening Attacks towards that slot. We're going to see a Thunderbolt fired out from Stu into the Manderbuss here doing some nice Chip damage with that Thunderbolt there Manderbuss firing out another file player. It is going to be into the Tabilele this time doing some big damage there And a precipice blades the Groudon does under speed that Lele is going to hit both targets here Doing some big damage taking the Lele down and taking the Porygon 2 down to just under 50 health So we see the Groudon now hit the field for Stu. It is that shiny lovely ugly green Groudon But it is going to transform into the beautiful Primal Groudon Which is much better as a shiny form and I'm sure you all agree with me But we see Stu with the trick room set here You've got to imagine his Groudon is going to be in a really nice position now to Probably go before the opposing Groudon on Kramminside of the field and fire off a precipice blades first We do actually just see an eruption come out from Stu's Groudon It is a special variant or maybe a mixed variant T-bolt into that Manderbuss followed by that eruption is enough to take it down So does leave the field and Groudon on Kramminside of the field going to chuck out another precipice blades does hit both targets It is shaky accuracy not quite enough to pick up the knockout on the Porygon 2 leaving it with 4 HP here And the Rayquaza coming in on the field for Kramminside now It has got that airlock ability and you would think uh if this psychic terrain wasn't active The Rayquaza could have a really nice time just using that extreme speed to get rid of the Porygon 2 here And Stu's side of the field but unfortunately as long as that psychic terrains up the extreme speed is blocked So we do see the Rayquaza mega revolve We're going to get this lovely delta stream animation of a writing the desolate land here for the next turns as we see the Groudon on Kramminside of the field just protect trying to stall out this till this trick room here As we see a recover from the Porygon 2 just going to get all that health back Put itself above 50% now and then way better position going to this next turn as we see an earth power from Stu's Groudon Into the protect on Krammins Groudon and a Dragon Ascent coming out from the Rayquaza It is going to be into that Porygon 2 slot So i'm going to try and deny a second trick room being set up here to close out this game for Kramminside But still not quite enough as the Rayquaza does take that Defense and special defense drop off the back of that Dragon Ascent now the Groudon on Kramminside Going for the double protect and actually gets it That's a huge turn for Kramminside to stall out this last turn of the trick room As we are going to see the Porygon 2 just go for another recover here Get this health back above 50% now and threat of a potential a Dragon Ascent coming out The earth power into protect blocked and another Dragon Ascent coming out now from this Rayquaza But this time not targeting that Porygon 2 going into the Primer Groudon on Stu's other field and will be enough to pick up the knockout here Stu's still got one Pokemon left in the back though So it'll be interesting to see what that is and if it can come in And deal with these two threats on the field right now The dimensions turn back to normal and the psychic terrain does disappear So Rayquaza now got access to that extreme speed if it wants to We do see the mobile hit the field for Stu It does get the intimidate cycle on to the Groudon and Rayquaza here on Kramminside of the field So what are we going to see? We're going to see protect from the mobile and potentially try and get a trick room from Porygon 2 But it's very obvious here and the Groudon Rayquaza could quite happily just double into that to deny it So be interested to see how Stu adapts here. We've got to see an overheat from the Rayquaza Though it's a mixed set and it does fire into the mobile pick up the big knockout there That is huge there for Cameron revealing that game one and picking up a crucial Knockout there with the Rayquaza who's putting so much work the Groudon now Showing all its might throwing up assault stance boosting that attacks that by two stages putting it back to Plus one now and a trick room once again set from this Porygon 2 But it might seem a little too far gone for this little P2 To claw back this match from this point as we do see the forfeit from Stu and we go straight into game 2 So big win there for Cameron and the overheat reveal there at the end of game one Was pretty huge in a really nice twist to the game where you think the mobile is going to come in Trick room is going to get set up and maybe Stu's got a way to come back into it But that overheat just denying it there completely and closing the game up for Stu We're going to see Cameron lead off with that toga kiss mandibus once again And Stu changing things up now with the mega mobile or the mobile leading out with that tapulele So we do see the intimidate drop on to the mandibus and that toga kiss here First turn for Stu and we are going to see the mobile just switch straight out preserve that for later as he Veltel now is brought by Stu and hits the field So it's going to bring that dark aura ability with it Meaning that mandibuses file players will be hitting that a little bit harder now as we see the toga kiss Just protect this turn doesn't want to take another shot at psyche this first turn like it didn't get more And Cameron just lose it automatically. We are going to see that shot at psyche now from Stu He's firing it off again into that slot Remember you can't be firing it into that mandibus slot because it is immune because of the dark type in there And we are going to see the shot psyche It's obviously not going to do as much damage going to this next turn And we as it is through the protect here And we are going to just see it bounce around and do not quite as much damage as that first time So nice protect there from Cameron as we see a file play come out from the mandibus So talking down the lele here it is. Yeah, just making sure that it is doing damage that Before it can do too much to Cameron side of the field I'm going to see a follow me this time come out from the toga kiss now as we see The top of lele go for a moon blast here It is trying to target that mandibus you'd imagine But now into that toga kiss still doing respectable damage as we see a snarl come out from the belt I'm not really messing around or worrying the mandibus too much And the the toga kiss at the minute just perform that kind of support role Stu really needs to try and concentrate and get rid of that as soon as possible We do see the mandibus now set the tail wind up for Cameron side of the field for the next three turns So the tabulele in a little bit of trouble now for Stu does protect here Doesn't want to take any unnecessary damage and Stu doesn't want to lose it too Freelously, but we are going to see an on call from the toga kiss into the velta now It is going to lock it into that snarl and prevent it from taking any big attacks any further We're going to see that file play into the lele as we do see just another Snarl from the velta hitting both targets and doing some nice chip damage along the way So the velta really kind of stuck in a bad place at the minute Maybe wants to switch out this next turn And but it's saying that the tabulele also in a really tight spot because the mandibus pressuring here and this tailwind with those file plays We are going to see the primal ground on now hit the field for Cameron. He is going to get this Primal reversion activated ground. I'm going to hit the field activate that desolate land along with it And in the tailwind it becomes a huge threat for Stu set the field and he really needs to start Kind of maneuvering himself around a little bit better now You are going to see the file play come out. It is going to be into that tabulele It will pick up the knockout here. So Stu just lose the lele But in the same respect of losing the lele you do get a free switch in on your side of the field If that is something that you want it might be something that does help him Reposition his board position get a bit of advantage going into this next turn because at the minute He's in a lot of trouble because there's tailwind on Cameron's side of the field Now you've got to think he probably protects his groudon as it now comes onto the field And it is pressured from the precipice blades from Cameron You know the file play precipice blades is probably enough to pick up the knockout onto this groudon on Stu's side of the field So he's got to be aware of that once the stall out this last turn of trick room And hopefully we see the Avelto maybe Kick out of that encore. We are going to see the groudon on Cameron's side of the field just lock Straight into a sword stance. Could this be punishment for him? Maybe thinking this Stu's going to protect here and if he throws out an earth power into that slot That is huge for Stu because he's going to pull this game right back into his favor And it is the earth power here. It is into the groudon It will be enough to pick up the knockout there and really punishing Cameron for thinking that maybe Stu is going for the Protect there, but yeah, we're going to see the world win now come out from the mandibus It is going to be into the Avelto and kind of doing it a favor almost by really undoing those Uncool lock that it is into. We're going to see the mobile come back onto the field Cycling of the timid air onto that mandibus as the tailwind does pitter out and the Psychic terrain does disappear now requires are going to hit the field for Cameron So not straightforward here, but it is threatened quite heavily from this mega mobile on Stu's side of the field So Cameron has to be very careful around that and now that he's lost the groudon It makes life a lot easier for that mobile in the rest of the game We're going to see the Avelto now hit the field activate that dark aura once again As we do see the mega requiser on Cameron side of the field go for that mega evolution It's going to override the desolate line and activate the delta stream and bring that mysterious air to the field As we are about to see with this glorious animation that we all love and keep going on about in this format early doors So we're going to see an overheat straight away from the requiser trying to snipe that more While like it didn't game one, but not going to work this time as Stu switches in the Avelto Takes it pretty comfortably takes the minus two as well in a special attack as we see another tailwind Set up from this mandibus what we're going to see this groudon do it just goes for an eruption here It is going to be doing some nice damage to the mandibus But resisted by the requiser and mandibus actually shown It's pretty decent bulk here taking that eruption pretty comfortably I'm going to see a protect now from the groudon as it doesn't want to take any damages We see a dragon ascent into that slot from the requiser on Cameron side of the field and a roost coming out for the mandibus Mandibus saying no, I don't want to go down too early I've got this tailwind to set up and I've got more tailwinds to set up further along the line So we just see a foul play from the Avelto taking this opportunity into the requiser is it enough It is enough to pick up the knockout onto the requiser So that is a big turn there for Stu picking up a quick knockout there and taking away that delta stream With Cameron down to just the toga kiss and the mandibus now And you think he's probably in a decent position to close this one up We are going to see an air slash come out from this toga kiss fishing for those flinches On the Veltel as a foul play now coming out from the mandibus going to be into the groudon Doing some big damage there. Evelto does flinch and an eruption coming out from the groudon Is it enough to pick up the toga kiss? It's not in the sun and it's not the toga kiss just hangs on barely We're going to see a sucker punch now the next turn come out into the toga kiss pick up that knockout from The evalto here and it is mandibus versus the world now as another foul play comes out From the mandibus into the groudon and it will be enough to pick up the knockout here But with that more while lurking in the back for stew you've got to think it's only going to be a matter of time Before he is able to close this one up The further mandibus is just not in a position to even get damage onto the more while here with the foul play It's just not going to be doing enough and it will be able to Clean up pretty easily here. We are going to get to see it though So the mandibus the more while is going to mega evolve here and it is going to transform into that beautiful mega pokemon that it is It will see a oblivion wing from the evalto into the mandibus here Just do some nice damage there get some health back for this evalto Just keep it on the field for a little bit longer if stew needs it to And we are going to see the mandibus go for that foul play Where is it going to be? Is it going to be into the more while you've got to think it is? Yes, but it doesn't seem too bad damage for a resisted attack It's just thanks to that huge power I think and then the player off coming out doesn't miss and picks up a nice knockout and stew pulling this game back To one one so we are going to be seeing a game three today and we'll jump straight into it It's been a really really tasty set so far So hopefully this third game doesn't disappoint as well and I've already seen one pokemon It's quite interesting that stew will be bringing on his side of the field So it'll be interesting to see how this performs in this match We do see Cameron just come out with that same lead that's worked from in these last two games So well as we see stew switch it up now We're going to see the groudon come out with that all faithful from the 2017 season lilligan So it is going to have that chlorophyll ability its speed will be doubled in the sun Which is brought by that desolate land ability of the primal groudon here in stew side of the field So there it is activating and along with it that chlorophyll ability on the lilligan acting along with it So we're going to be pretty careful because we can see something like an after you eruption here come out It has access to sleep powder mana buzz obviously not affected by that But we are just seeing that after you and we probably will see the eruption from the groudon here And it will be into that mana buzz the tug of kiss just protecting this turn Doesn't want to take any big damage here as the mana buzz is probably in a position to take this And set up a tailwind for Cameron and that's exactly what we see here Just trying to get the speed advantage over that lilligan and the groudon But you've got to think does the tug of kiss can it actually out speed the lilligan? That's the big problem We're going to see the groudon now hit the field for Cameron place of that mana buzz It is going to primal revert once again And bring to the field the big bad primal groudon so Thing is like I was saying the lilligan still probably out speed the tug of kiss So it's probably going to be able to get the after you or sleep powder But we do see the sleep powder and it goes into the safety goggles on the tug of kiss So really nice tech there tug of kiss now and tailwind is able to out speed the groudon But not get the flinch this turn and an eruption does come out But it is weakened from that air slash so that's a really nice player They're trying to weaken that attack groudon on the field for stew For Cameron here is putting a lot of pressure on the groudon on stew's side of the field We do see and follow me and the after you going into that tug of kiss really smart play here Then we do see the precipice blades come out it does miss the lilligan Which is a bit unfortunate goes into the groudon isn't enough It's not quite enough it does hang on and he gets the earth power But obviously into that follow me which is not affected that tug of kiss because of its flying type there Really nice play there for Cameron just protecting that groudon as best it can Especially with the safety goggles that the tug of kiss does have access to now really shutting down this type of lead We're going to see another follow me from the tug of kiss here precipice blades again From the groudon on Cameron side of the field and it does avoid the groudon that is devastating And we see your precipice blades now revealed from stew it's going to be back into the groudon here It's not it's not quite enough to pick up the knockout I didn't think it would be as the tailwind does pitter out and this Lilligan now in a really nice position with that tailwind ending We are going to see just switch up for later as we see the eval tool now hit the field for stew As it does bring that dark aura back on the field with it as we see the groudon On Cameron side of the field just protect here doesn't want to take any unnecessary damage As the tug of kiss goes for an air slash into this groudon this will be enough to pick up the knockout And Cameron getting rid of that primal groudon once and for all so Pretty tight match up to now it'll be interesting to see how things unfold going forward We are going to see the top of Lilligan now hit the field for stew Now that groudon has just protected on Cameron side of the field so it is going to be prone To a potential shatter psyche into that slot But you've got to think does the manda buzz come in here We are going to see the groudon switch out for Cameron and it is the manda buzz just predicting maybe A shatter psyche into that slot but it was solo health anyway You've got to think maybe you target the tug of kiss if you're stew just to get rid of that support option here I'm going to see just a taunt no shatter psyche come out into that tug of kiss But it is blocked by the protect as we see a snarl come out from the eval tool And it is going to do a little bit of chip damage Maybe put that manda buzz into range from the moon blast now As a special attack does drop from that snarl I'm going into the next turn we just see a follow me So the tug of kiss trying to support that manda buzz as best it can Avoiding those moon blasts it could be quite devastating But we're just going to see a shatter psyche come out from the lele It's not messing around here wants to remove that tug of kiss from the field And it unleashes this z move And we all know that it will be enough to pick up the knockout onto the tug of kiss And remove it from the field so big turn here from stew I'm going to be able to tie up this game and take down the tug of kiss And we've seen how much work it's put in this game so far So being able to remove this one option here is a really nice way for stew To kind of pull himself back into this game We're probably going to see the tailwind from the manda buzz As an oblivion wing goes into that slot from the eval tool Doing some nice damage here Taking it down into about 20% health range as the tailwind is now set up And priming that groudon for the return When it comes back onto the field now for Cameron And that's what we are going to see The groudon is very low health But it doesn't have to worry about a sucker punch here Because it has got the psychic terrain Protecting it this turn going into this one But where does he talk? Does he go precipice blades or does he go fire punch? The tabulele on stew so the field going to protect In case of precipice blades does come out The eval tool going to try probably To pick up a keel here onto the groudon It does see the fire punch from Cameron's side Into that eval tool Manda buzz going for a roost here Going to heal up all of that damage that's already been done And the eval tool you've got to think It will be attacking into that groudon To remove it from the field But we just see a snarl It's going to be enough to probably Pick up the groudon anyway And just get a little bit of chip damage Onto the manda buzz at the same time So groudon going down for Cameron And stew looking like he's in not a bad position Going into the rest of this game You think the Cameron's probably got the rayquaza In the back which comes in now It is in tailwind but at the same time If the more wiles in the back force stew Like we've already seen it Then it comes in gets the intimidate dropper And it can put a lot of pressure onto this Rayquaza pretty quickly We aren't going to see any switches though Straight up we're just going to see this mega rayquaza Mega revolve and activate that ultastream Along with it and get the mysterious air But it has to really target into this tapulele Is threatened by a moon blast We are going to see an extreme speed And the veltul not protected by the psychic tree And a foul play into that slot as well It is going to pick up the knockout there But this leaves the tapulele free To get a moon blast off And to either target both weak to the fairy type attack here As we see a moon blast into the rayquaza Probably taking it down to a sash Is it going to be oh it's not quite doing as much As I thought of with that It's a nice bulky rayquaza And because of the reveal of the other He earlier on in the game Maybe it indicates that it is an assault vest variant Now I forget that the lilligan Is the one pokemon in the back here So Cameron in a nice position to close things up here We are going to see a dragon ascent into the lilligan It is going to do big damage Take it down to a sash though It isn't enough to take it out And the knockout there is activating that focus sash So I'm going to stick around for at least one more turn Here as we see the special attack special drop Go on the rayquaza with the foul play Coming out into the lilligan Doubling into that slot Maybe you should have went for the lele here Because you would have picked up the knockout Rather than that lilligan But maybe predicting that the lele goes for a protect here Does get the moonblast into that rayquaza Picking up the knockout here And it's just mandibus versus the tapolele now And you've got to wonder Is the tapolele strong enough to pick up a knockout As this tailwind ends And the psychic terrain disappears from the field The mandibus has got a lot of health left But we do see the taunt come out from the lele Going to deny any tailwind Going to deny any roost As we see it go for the roost this turn And this pretty much wraps it up for stew Because you know the lele can take at least one foul play Two moonblasts should be enough here So a really nice way to end the game But not needing two Just needing one I'm surprised it took it down from that range But very powerful And such a good set from both players So stew taking Game one that we're featuring in week one In a two one victory So massive props to both players there What a way for us to kick off this week It's been incredible Thank you so much to stew and Cameron For putting forward The video replays this week To be featured in this episode And I hope you guys at home have enjoyed it It's been incredible We've seen some really odd picks That you don't see so much in the ultra series Being used here But see the polygon too A really nice pick And you saw how well it kind of coped With the big damage from the requiser And the groudon and things like that And did a decent job But then stew kind of reassessing He's born and really adapting His game plan to really maneuver Around what Cameron was bringing Because he was putting on so much pressure From the start of the game Getting that tailwind setup That was really hard to deny From the mind of us Especially with that toga kiss support With the follow me And both Pokemon taking so much damage And Cameron kind of put off From that chat psyche game One where he lost a toga kiss He wanted to be a bit more careful with it And we saw how much work It put in games two and games three Really nice game for us to kick off with today I will bring up the results From this week So now on your screen You can see the results For this first round Of the swiss going into the ultra series We've got Chansey Mansey Beating Xenophis Day's 2-0 Stew as we see in our feature match Beating Cameron 2-1 Shade 2-1 Against Ryan P.B.
