 um like there was no way I could knock out a stack attacker hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our VGC Road to Round 2020 battle series my name is Lee also known as Osiris and we're gonna be finishing up this week with this team that you can see on your screen in front of you that is and does belong to my good friend Will also a patron of the channel who won the invitation or the flinch squad invitation all this past weekend and kindly give me this team to feature on the channel now we've had some really good games of this week not so good yesterday but I'm feeling confident going into today's episode that we'll be able to turn those results around and get some better results on the board going forward and the team is down in the description below there is a raw pace and a poker pace of the team give Will a follow on Twitter as well at Dempsey his tag will be down in the description and gonna be doing big things I think this season and he's a very very strong player and he's shown that throughout the circuit this circuit is starting again the 2020 season and this week sorry next week we'll be featuring the first matches from round one of the Ultra series part two of the circuit so look forward to that and as always my friends 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 your thoughts on the team in general if you've caught the invitation or what you thought of it and what your thoughts on the battles as well so as I say we'll play this team today we'll play this team on Monday as well next week and then we'll come back in with a brand new team we'll probably play what I take one of four teams that I'll be taking to the MSS PCs over and open to this weekend there is a double MSS Saturday Sunday and a double PC straight after them on Saturday and Sunday as well so I'm trying to get four different teams because the PCs I think are best of one so you want something that's a little bit different that can work in a bit better catch opponent off-guard and obviously doing battles but we know how important catching opponent off-guard with certain techniques can work in a best of one situation as well so we need different teams for those so my idea is to take four teams win four times and come out ultimate champion of opens in the end of the weekend that will be ideal but I don't know it's gonna be tough there's gonna be a lot of really good players there gonna have the likes of Ben Jamie Ethan I mean like the list could go on with all of the top UK players that will be there this weekend so it's gonna be a tough event but a really good challenge and it's something I really want to do well at and get off the mark as well for those points to get to London next year because if I can get some points on the board now it makes things a little bit easier for the rest of the season sets me up nicely as well for going into sword and shield when that comes out which I want to be hitting super hard come January and it's not long till those games are released now it's what are we it's about a month's time now and then we'll be get our hands on that lovely game or games I can't wait for them to come out it's gonna be incredible and Ethox is our first opponent from France have we played this guy we have played this guy this is a rematch so this is the one that I said I think on Wednesday that we played in our second game if you want to go back and check that out put a card up here for you but I did say I'd love a better three against this team because I we got a lot of information about we know the Velta Lizzie move and so we can play around that a little bit better and I think it was a match that we could have definitely won had we went into a best of three situation now I need to put my money where my mouth is and we need to do this so he's locked in we need to get into this one right now we've got a Veltal Groudon mega Gengar, Tapu Fini, Incinero and Shinninja and okay so Coco was great for his last game Lunala 100% we're bringing Ray Quasar definitely and do we bring we brought Stack Attack a last game and it can be very good I think in this game as well but Incinero could also be just as good because if we can deny the Salk on to the Shinninja then we're alright but then even if we don't we're still sitting pretty good it's just whether or not we want the Stacker the Intimidate could be quite useful I don't know I think Stack Attack is probably a better option I'm gonna go Stacker I don't really feel like I need the Intimidate the Groudon doesn't scare me too much I didn't even go on to the team preview screen I can't believe that I'm sorry friends I just talked right through that thinking I was in it so anyway I've got a follow-off Ethok so big shout out to him now he is a player from France I'll give him a follow and we're going into that best three so good luck have fun my friend if you are watching this and we are gonna see Groudon and Veltal come out for my opponent right now I think the thing that we've got to worry about here is that we have got wide guard so we can potentially cover what the Groudon wants to go for Earth Par could be a bit tricky to deal with and does it have Earth Par and if it does then we're in a little bit of trouble we are in a little bit of trouble we know the vault switch won't get you Veltal and I don't think we revealed why God in our last game so we could potentially why God and Thunderbolt this turn around got to worry about a type of finny coming on to the field as well I think I'm gonna Thunderbolt and I'm gonna go for the wide guard here I'd imagine you Veltal might protect Veltal withdraws gonna see she ninja come out on to the field which is fine thank you don't mind that too much why God coming out good you just got to hope that's precipice blades and not a fire punch or an earth par so I'm not gonna hit through the she ninja here precipice blades so that's that's fine like totally fine okay because now we get the opportunity to bring our requiser on to the field and preserve typical because we've got to preserve for later on in this game and we're bringing Ray we've got to worry about toxic spam of course and we could go for another wide guard here and but I think getting a moon guys beam on to the she ninja now makes things a lot easier if we see an ally switch come out it's not too bad because moon guys beam into groudon's always welcome and but gradons aren't really the issue for us here and it's the Pokemon kind of around ground and we're gonna see the protect here might see a toxic come out from the she ninja it's something that we do see we're not gonna see a shadow sneak and moon guys beam should be able to break this sash she does she's good and now it's under a bit of pressure going into the next turn so we are gonna see the toxic again it is gonna be into the Nala though okay now I don't want to allow this she ninja to get another toxic into a requiser because the last time that happened that's what really punished our requires a player because the toxic ticker made things very difficult for us to get around and so I'll go for the the the dragon is sent into the she ninja and I'll go for a moon guys beam into the groudon so if you got Alice which here we get the dragon sent into the groudon we get the moon guys beam into the shenanigans so Alice which you're not really gonna help my opponent out too much shenanigans are gonna withdraw we're gonna get a free dragon is sent into a tap of finny which is absolutely incredible for us because I think the one thing that we want here is to get some damage onto this thing before it can start disrupting outside the field to dragon a sense should be enough to get it should one should not pop it's very so that should be fine and the moon guys beam gonna do a nice chunk to ground on whatever it decides to go for we do overwrite the weather there and no protect from the ground on we are gonna get the dragon a sense like a sit into this tap of finny now and do some good damage put in a range for another one to pick up the knock at the next turn there we go gotta worry about dragging the claw still on this ground on but hopefully that's not an option because we didn't see it in that first game so I will be surprised if we saw it now lose the ray it is a little bit of a shame fire punch coming out it's gonna be into requires a okay man that does so much damage critical hit that's not what we want to see okay the toxic is ticking down I still think we'll take another we'll take another fire punch from this ground on here come on battle let's tick through the DS beam very slow here we'll go for another dragon sent into the finny here my opponent really hasn't got any switches in either so the finny goes down and we can get another moon guys beam into the ground on or are we better off switching into now we've got that's the thing we've got stacker and we've got corporal in the back to Pokemon we don't want to switch into potential precipice blades or fire punch so I think we'll go for the same again we'll get rid of the finny can moon guys beam onto this ground on it should put the ground on in range for an extreme speed from our requires us so we don't need to worry too much about the envelope coming in and going from possibly a sucker punch there but we have to worry about it because I think thinking back to that episode I think the envelope will actually add speeds are a quasi which isn't ideal and when guys beat me at doing a nice chunk of damage there's the fire punch hopefully just procs a berry no crit this time which is excellent the berry proc in there on the ray so leave it and a bit of damage there and maybe we see the shinninger come back on to the field now from my opponent but it's more likely to be that eval tall I think and I think what we have to probably do this next turn is yeah just double the groudon because eval tall is gonna speed I don't know if an extreme speed will get the groudon that's the only problem and we kind of won't I think what I'll do is just to be a little bit safe I'm gonna protect requires I'm gonna go for moon guys beam into the ground on because as long as we've got cocoa out next to our request we're kind of protecting evals protecting our request a little bit the only issue is that the delta streams kind of it's negating the thunderbolt damage on to eval tall it's a little bit annoying okay so we're just gonna see a bit of a dead turn here I'm a foul player mean one thing we could potentially do is go wide guard and get our cocoa onto the field for free just this eval tall out speeding the request and if there's one thing I would change about the team potentially it is the fact that I think I would probably have the rare at least out speeding base of hundreds because I think that that that is hindering us right now because if we can take down the groudon then cocoa has a much easier job coming in we are gonna see the ground on switch out I wonder if the belt will actually goes for the lunala here to get rid of it potentially of course for tailwind I mean we get rid of the shinninger the tailwind isn't ideal first at all but in all I still gonna hang on still got wide guard so I mean it does help us out a little bit what what happened there we just protect with I'm a bit confused with what happened and okay I think we discharge do we discharge we could trick room is it really gonna help us probably if we can get a trick room off here that would be absolutely amazing actually do we predict the ally switch though that's the thing I think you go for the lunala whatever you do now I'm gonna go into about how I'm gonna trick room Thunderbolt trick room if alto protects okay are you gonna go for the toxic into the cocoa no I should have sneak it will get the lunala through this cassie berry unfortunately yeah but we do have we do have a good old stack attacker and the groudon I think is in range for the continental for the crash just as he moves gonna do a lot to stacks that's the only problem there's a move dizzy move shouldn't take us down it shouldn't take us down right we'll go for the Thunderbolt we'll go for the trick room the thing if we get the trick room up here I think stack attack can kind of almost win this game it's about taking this e-move because I think you've got to go for it here which we are gonna see yeah but stack attack I saw defensively but like strong it should take it and I'm pretty sure when I played a belt on myself Z-Velto like there was no way I could knock out a stack attacker unless we see a critical hit come on so frustrating really I mean yeah okay I'm gonna try and get a Thunderbolt on TV alto I'm gonna go for the about I'm not gonna I'm gonna gonna play these games of chasing ally switches and predicting them we're just gonna target what's in front of us this is this is where it gets a bit of a pain and because this should ninja can start toxic in us again this is why she ninjas pin in the ass this is why not getting that trick room up as a pain alright it's an extreme speed gonna get the ground on I really don't know if it will that would be my problem I think I think we've got to go for it you can't really do anything with an extreme speed we'll get the jump on an ally switch I'm gonna go for the extreme speed we can get the ground on then it makes things a lot easier first I think going into the next few we don't get it we don't get it okay right well I think we just lose this now because there's no way we can beat there's no way we can beat what we're gonna see by a punch okay we can't beat the ground on without we've got an extreme speed it we're kind of locked here because the shadow sneak will just get ray unless the ground on protects here and then they don't go for the shadow sneak which I don't know why you wouldn't yeah and then get the rate and then that's game I do think the the crit on the stacks really did kind of hinder our ability to close this one up I think if there's no crit there we get the trick room and I don't really know how they come back from that they still got the ability to ally switch and do a lot of like faffing round but I think ground on comes in like we get rid of shinninger pretty easily or ground on and then we still got ray at that point as well which under speeds the rental I don't know I don't know anyway good game to my opponent that team is nasty man and we're not doing well with the team at all we're not picking up the wins like we need to but never mind we'll move on we'll try and find our next opponent and we will come back strong or we will try and come back strong I'm just gonna say sorry will sorry but you know the interesting thing is all this all these weeks we've been playing on the channel and I haven't seen any Veltel and then as soon as we jump to using Lunala I don't think I've seen it as much as much he Veltel as I've seen in the past like four weeks see this guy is too nice you see followed me because we matched up followed him back and now he's saying hey so sorry for the crit on the stack now that's a nice guy but he doesn't need to apologize you don't need to apologize man you played that super well and like there's no need to apologize about it very nice and courteous what a nice guy big shout out to Ethox it is Ethox VGC if you guys want to follow him drop him a follow on Twitter and I'm just gonna reply now we're gonna find an ex-opponent so I'm gonna cut it here we'll come back when we find an ex-opponent my friends and we've got an ex-opponent of the episode so we'll hop straight into team preview right an ex-opponent is playing a team of Amungus Tapulele Salamence Incinero Lunala and Groudon so Lunala Groudon they restrict a combination spawn cast Incinero Salamence you'd normally see it's happy Finney where the Tapulele is but we've got the Tapulele for potential psychic spam potential protection against priority attacks as well and then Amungus to round things up give a bit of a trick room counter to this team you probably assume that it's more tailwind orientated but there is trick room elements there especially a trick room mode through the Lunala that you have to watch out for and now I think Rayquaza has a good time for us here but we have to be careful there's double Intimidate which is gonna really affect our ability to do a lot of work and the Tapulele could be scoffed as well it might be worth us leaving Tapu Koko if they do leave Tapulele to kind of scout that out and Tapu Koko here not too bad either does good work against the Salamence can do good work against the Incinero a break the Shadow Shield on that Lunala as well just have to watch out for the Groudon here and I definitely want Rayquaza I think in this match and probably I think what we'll do is we'll lead Lunala I bring Incinero for a change and I'm gonna bring Rayquaza as well and we're locking come on let's get to the right screen so here we are we're going into it and right I'm gonna say we need to pull out a win we need to pull out a win for this last one today before we go on to the weekend I feel like I've done will I disservice you's like yeah use my team like all up for it and now I've done it and I'm like what have I done not showcasing it very well but I think we've had some tough matchups along the way as well we had that really good one to kick us off this weekend it's been a bit up and down since then we've got Groudon and Incinero coming out for us here we've also got the fake out as a problem but at the same time it's a nice opportunity to get our Rayquaza onto the field and potentially get a moon guys beam into the Groudon but the problem is as well if we don't see a fake out here you could see the Groudon go to break a shadow shield on Lunala and then the Incinero go for the follow-up to pick up the knockout there and it's too risky for me to go for a vault switch out with with Tabacoco that could really backfire especially turn one you don't really want to be doing that because you could see a fake out and just a precipice blade and if we lose Cocoa while we lose the resource turn one which is never going to be good and it just limits us switching later in the game which makes it a lot easier for my opponent so you want to always try and avoid like turn one losses like turn one chaos on your end because you're limiting like your opponent's already limiting your ability to switch around and making predictability a lot easier so you don't want to lose things so early even though I've repeated that like four times but it's it's an important point so we'll get Rayquaza in we'll play it a little bit safer here and getting rain pretty safe because it'll probably take a fake out overheat oh we are gonna see the double in there but and instead of them the double in on Lunala we're gonna see just a you turn to my opponent knock on for the fake out we could have went for the vault switch but like I said the drawback of doing that and then getting faked out and the precipice blades to lose Cocoa there's never gonna be a good option now we're gonna gonna see Salamence come in interesting that we see over he'd come out from Groudon though we've got to worry about potential Draco meteor here now we've got a couple of options what we could potentially do is bring Cocoa back onto the field and why God expecting maybe an eruption because I'd imagine eruption overheat or the options on this Groudon we could protect Rayquaza as well just to scout out I think that's not a bad idea if we scout out we'll just protect Ray and we'll bring in Incinero for Lunala keep Lunala for later on in this game we're getting intimate it onto both targets as well potentially a Groudon could be mixed as well so you can't discount that it could have precipice blades which could be it could be handy for and the Salamence likely has double edge as well so that will help out there we'll see the Groudon actually switch out gonna see Incinero come back onto the field and cycling that double intimidate but now the Groudon's gone it does make it a bit easier for us to get our Cocoa back onto the field and lose these intimidate drops with our Rayquaza and we can potentially pivot out the next thing with our own Incinero to get Rayquaza back in onto the field with no intimidate drops you're gonna see one of the intimidators lose its ability for that area late mega Salamence mega evolving here we do protect Rayquaza we'll see Drake on me here and that's a scout there we did think about so good job that we did and now I am gonna go for the Cocoa back in and I'm gonna go for a U-turn onto the Incinero because Cocoa puts instant pressure on to the Salamence especially with Dazengliem through the bolt and might be better going for Dazengliem at this point though just because of the Groudon potentially switching in and now we are gonna see Groudon come back onto the field a wonderful seat and intimate another U-turn from this opposing Incinero here but we will just switch Ray back out get Cocoa in Incinero I think the worst thing here would be potentially a Flablet into our Cocoa but you'd be flableting into what was a Rayquaza so I don't know if you're gonna do that I think the U-turn is more likely to come out here and just so they can keep active that well we are gonna see a Flablet and it is gonna be into a Cocoa huh madness okay well I really don't mind that too much at all because it means we do have the opportunity to go Vault switch into Incinero and Mega Evolve and Sword Stance here because I don't think the Groudon stays in or protect like attacks I really don't as it has him past you might do but I don't know Incinero is likely to U-turn pivot out but we can do the same with our Incinero and we could have attacked here with with Rayquaza but I think it's better to take the opportunity while we've got the opportunity to get a Sword Stance up which we have I think right now it seems like a pretty safe thing to get and take advantage of and we need to keep Cocoa as well because I think it really helps out with the Salamence especially because it is carrying that Dragon Meteor and we're doing some nice damage to that Incinero here and do we get our Incinero back onto the field yeah I think we probably would like to probably be better to do that then we go fake out the next turn well my opponent hasn't even if they U-turn out they're not gonna have access to that fake out the next turn see is another option there we go our Sword Stance going up Presby's blades okay so it's mixed we get a bit lucky actually because we avoid that that's that's good for us and imagine the Salamence will come back onto the field now but we could potentially make the play of going fake out into Salamence and going for another another Sword Stance put us on the plus four so when that when the the old boy Incinero comes back onto the field one plus three to make sweeping through this team a lot better and puts a lot more pressure on our side of the field to four switches from my opponent might see the ground on switch out here I'm not too worried if it stays in and goes for a press of his blades like Incinero is gonna be able to take that after the Intimidate we just got to be careful around this Salamence like ideally what we want is we want Cocoa on the field maybe it would have been better to go okay so we're just gonna see protect there might see a press of his blades because the thing is like the problem is a plus four extreme speed isn't gonna get Salamence it's too it's too strong to take that there's a press of his place it's nice play from my opponent this is why the U-turn would have probably been better but actually this isn't the worst thing so the best it's definitely not the worst because but but the thing is now we are gonna be able to get Cocoa on to the field and we put a hell of a lot of pressure on to this Salamence now whether or not we go for the Dragon is sent into the ground on or we go for an extreme speed dazzling gleam Salamence and I don't think the Salamence stays in I think we go dazzling gleam and I think we go Dragon is sent into the ground on the worst thing here is though if the Salamence stays in and goes for if it goes for a Draco it will get us and then we lose Cocoa and then we just lose the match but I'm gonna do it because I think the Salamence feels too pressured from yeah the ground on my protect here probably does if it doesn't it's going down because we're plus three there's no way it takes that wow okay do we actually get the general yeah and then we're gonna get the ground on okay maybe I think my opponent would have been better there going for protect with ground on because plus three Dragon is sent there's no way anything takes this other than like possibly stack attacker does come in very few Pokemon ground I'm gonna go down way plus three Salamence gonna come back in dazzling gleam extremes be gonna do it and it'll depend on what my opponents fourth Pokemon is which we haven't seen yet I don't think we do have to worry about Lunala of course but we've got our own Lunala and we've got the Cassie Berry still active so we're not in the worst position dazzling gleam could be problematic for us for sure and sorry why God could be really problematic for us because Draco would pick up the knockout I think what we could do is scout out the why God go for a protect here with Rayquaza the why God comes out then okay no why God this is alright because this puts Salamence in extreme speed range and not probably takes down Coco oh trick room okay I don't mind that too much because extreme speed still gets I don't really want to switch in Lunala yet either or do I I think I take this opportunity to switch in Lunala because I think we go extreme speed into the men's and I think this is where you go if you're my opponent you go for the opportunity to to take down the Rayquaza because we just protected with your Lunala oh you don't okay you don't protect I would have thought maybe a protector to come out there but no okay this is even it's gonna be into Rayquaza 100% you need to get rid of the Ray you're not really worried about the Coco it's like threatening too much especially with the trick room up and now the Z move burns Ray we go down and and now we're gonna be able to get our cocoa in and now with the Z move gone we've got the Kasey Berry even with the Kasey Berry we take the Z move so we weren't ready to word the worst thing that could have happened there was them going into us on the switching but it made sense that the um they go for the Rayquaza the only thing I would like I would say is if you protected the the men's there I think the men's would have been the better thing to protect although might not have had protect I don't know if we we've seen protect so we're gonna see moon guys beam it's gonna be through a shadow shield and the Kasey Berry doing nothing man that's crazy and we'll return with our own moon guys and this will be enough to pick up the knockout and we'll we pick up a win to end the week on for you my friend and I think this last one's been a really nice battle for us today got Rayquaza up to like plus four at one point and we kind of swept through from there so really good game to my opponent and a nice way for us to at least finish the week with a little bit of a victory there so we'll wrap it up for the weekend my friends whatever you're up to have a great time if you're at events let me know down in the description I wish you all the best if you are going out and planning events if any of you are watching and I'm gonna be an open to this weekend make sure to come say hi at me at the
