we've got a first opponent really playing a team of eval tol zonius katana stack attack a incinero and tapir lele so we've got a nice combination we've got the x and y combination here a very strong combo in this this format we've got two steel types as well in katana and stack attack a one of them performing tailwind and one of them potentially performing trick room so we've got both both sides of the spectrum they're sporting this team and very nice options you've got the incinero there we know what incinero does fake out intimidating support dark typing as well fire typing and then the tapir lele to help prevent any sort of priority shenanigans and let the team kind of operate how it wants to obviously not protecting that eval tol because it is a flying type but we need to be quick picking our Pokemon here so what do we want to do a moonga seems really nice for us I think in this match we do need to be careful against the incinero the lele and to exerce and extend the vowel tool and because of the potential oblivion wins there so but we do need it for the zonius and for protecting bronzon if we do decide to bring that to this match I think incinero is pretty nice here just for the intermediate that we've got there and I'm gonna lead dialga am I gonna lead dialga or am I gonna lead bronzon I think we'll go dialga I think we'll bring a moonga's and then we'll bring Kyogre as well I'm gonna bench bronzon for this match it's hard to bring bronzon to this match with an incinero and an eval tool on the opposing side of the field even though it does so well against the two fairies that my opponent's got but hopefully we can kick off with the win today it'd be very nice we've been having a good run this week with this team and I would love it to continue so let's see how we can get on we're gonna lead off with the incinero and dialga dialga's been doing really well this week I've been enjoying playing dialga as we see cotton or eval to come up from my opponent there's nothing here to really deny us a trick room while all my opponents got on his side of the field is the stack attacker to kind of to take advantage of the trick room as well so I think what we'll do here we're not gonna go for a fake out we're just gonna go for a u-turn into the eval tool it's likely gonna be a sold vest so we'll be able to get that off there and then go for that trick room and we've got the intimidate off onto the cot on us so that's really handy for us and we'll just do that lock in and see how my opponent adjusts and what they're gonna do here could see a double into dialga buddy I think even like an intimidated knockoff and sacred swords not gonna be enough to get dialga here we've got to worry about maybe a phytonium Z coming out but we're not gonna see that we're just gonna see a sacred sword in the dialga we take that pretty comfortably snarl coming out from the eval tool and that surprises me that my opponent just leaves the incinero free to attack that cot on of this turn we are gonna get the u-turn off though and now we will be able to get our chai auger on to the field which is pretty big news for us because we can start chucking out some water spouts and I'd imagine the cot honor is well the cot honor can't be a salt vests can it it just can't be it's probably got protect then hmm huh makes me want to just water spout I want to deal with the good like the cot honor is a bit of a pain back side but coyote is gonna be able to take a leaf blade here easily and so we could water spout and thunder the eval tool that should be enough to get it and I'd imagine it is salt vests so in this situation I'd rather get rid of that and then like just try and maintain the ability to deal with the rest of the team cot honor if it's got protect it's got to feel like it wants to protect you and get rid of the eval tool is gonna be pretty huge so we don't have to toy with with snarls and things going any further in this match we have been snarled on dialga so we're not doing as much damage as you probably like to be doing and okay it is okay a velta should be in range now for a thunder from dialga I'm just hoping we don't miss the knockout because that would be pretty bad for us and a really bad call for myself but we do actually manage to pick up the knock out there which is which is very good take the cot honor down to a slash we're gonna see a leaf blade come out but like I say minus one we should be able to take this pretty nicely we still got access to as they move going into the next turn which is pretty nice for us and cot honor in a really sticky spot gone into this next turn either has to protect the switch out or it goes down if we target that slot anything even a water spout and wonder what my opponent brings out now come on let's go let's go it mustn't have very good options it's the only reason why I'm thinking they they're taking so long to take take their turn the time about it's gonna be stack attack are coming up and I'm gonna go waterium into stacks and I'm just gonna earth part into cot honor I think what you do for my ear my opponent you just go for rock slide hope that both targets flinching cart on I can pick something up here Kyoga is not gonna go down to a rock slide not from this range not with a defense investment that we've got and die and that certainly isn't I think something that could go wrong here first would be a super power from the stack attacker into dial again that could be pretty bad because then it leaves cot honor open and to get another leaf blade off but if that happens then we do get rid of the stack attacker which makes life a lot easier for iron signal mingers coming in here so there's the rock slide coming out as long as we don't flinch I mean yeah I mean we cursed ourselves really but didn't we by saying that we did we really did really did let's get an interval back in we need our berry to activate on dialger and another rock slide will do that so I do want to keep it in and I'm just gonna you turn out on to the cot hot how many turns a trick room we've got left as well because that's that's a big important thing we've got two turns okay so we can definitely get rid of the cot honor I'm gonna you turn out on that slot and I'm gonna earth power the stack attacker gotta hope that we don't get flinched again that's really frustrating for us though but if the last Pokemon is zernius then we've got a moongus in the back so we're not we're not really like in a mad bad position double flinch just doesn't doesn't help though does it as we see in scenario come in so that earth power still gonna do some good damage even though we are on minus one and cinema probably not the one Pokemon that we want to see right here but if we can get a u-turn now we're gonna see the carton of protect here but we can double into the I should have you turned out on dialger here really predicting that that because the rain ends pretty soon as well I think I'm so sad about Kyoga so sad about Kyoga and okay let's you turn and let's yeah I think we have to we have to earth power the blinking in scenario the wrong target okay so we get flinched we miss click now things are going so well for us to begin with today ah okay I think you fake out the dialger as well so we could potentially lose dialger this becomes way harder without dialger or at least we know it's not zernius in the back for my opponent okay carton of switching out I mean that makes things a lot better for us because we can at least have incineroa in the back to come back in we're gonna you turn what we're gonna see the opposing incident do it gonna you turn as well off and knocks off our dialger that's not ideal not ideal not ideal at all okay we'll get a movie soon at least we can cycle our intimate at least once more and yeah remove the berry okay so we do lose dialger very unfortunate rain does stop and dimensions send back to normal things become a lot more difficult for us to to do stuff here maybe we've got the fake out spore into stack attack of this next turn if you want to fake out into incineroa of course I think we need to spoil the incineroa though if I'm honest and I don't think the stack attack a sets of trick room I think it was rock slides if anything yeah I'm gonna fake out and spoil the incineroa we'll probably take a rock slide here but shooting down the incineroa kind of helps us out a lot more we can spoil the opposing stack attack at the next turn it's just about switching and getting the switch if the carton comes in anywhere makes it a little bit more difficult for us let's see what my opponent does that double flinch though I mean that's really put us like in a real awkward position and put us way behind in this match but we cursed ourselves didn't we did with a double miss here new double miss of course not incineroa taking masses of damage okay so what we will do is put the yeah put the stack attack asleep and we'll knock off the opposing incineroa I don't know if we can win this one now though maybe we can depends how long everything stays asleep for so we'll get the knockoff into the opposing incineroa it's quite nice I'll get a spore off it's got the safety goggles okay the double rock slide miss that that does help us out quite a lot okay we can knock off and spoil that slot though now so we'll do that we've got to hope this incineroa stays asleep just a little bit longer just a teeny bit longer that's all we need okay that kind of makes up a little bit it doesn't really make up for it all because the flinch if we didn't get flinched there we would have covered if the stack it's okay anyway so that just helps us out a little bit I guess hmm come on incineroa just stay asleep just stay a shloop okay that's good stays asleep okay get rid of the safety goggles get some decent damage on to the stack attacker and we can now put it to sleep which is very good for us very good indeed now we can flare blitz that's not the next turn and grass not it I think we need to work on I think we need to work on the opposing incineroa to be honest like I'm gonna grasp not the stack attacker and I'm gonna I'm gonna flare blitz the opposing incineroa because I think it probably tries to like we need to poke our very before it can knock us off grass not gonna do a decent amount to stack it's okay okay incineroa stays asleep at least another turn which is perfect probably get it with a u-turn let's just go for another grass not into that what is everything level that is it minus one that was incineroa it is okay a u-turn I'm pretty sure u-turn from our incineroa gets that incineroa yeah let's do that the poison incineroa wakes up yeah gets the flare blitz off but they should just proc up a mungus's berry yep which should the burn the burn it's never good okay I wonder if this will be enough to get the stack attacker though the the grass not and the u-turn because a mungush will beat cartana now with a grass not is a grass not gonna be enough looks like it is maybe that little bit of extra damage from the u-turn is enough to put it in range yeah so at least we keep the unbeaten record going my friends I don't know how we managed it but incineroa mungus pulling right through in the end here and even after that double flinch which just absolutely decimated our chances early on just a little bit annoying but I mean there's not a lot you can do about it in some like these situations it's just you just have to deal with it and keep playing sometimes to try and come out on the better end of things so we u-turn grass not and my opponent forfeit so very good game to my opponent and we'll move on to our next game so thrilling I'm surprised we came out with that on top but that is that's good that's good don't like we don't like losing with this team which we haven't this week so far so that's been pretty refreshing for us and so hopefully we can click through quick enough and then jump on back on find our next opponent and hopefully it won't take too long to do you know I complain about the double flinch as much as I do but we put ourselves in that position we talked about it being a risk and it actually happened so you know you can't always be too angry with how things pan out when you know it's a possibility and Pokemon being Pokemon in those those situations where things like that can happen they generally do happen so it's always better just not to talk about them at least that's how I find it's when you talk about them they always happen although I wonder if you talk about okay in a match okay I'm gonna flinch both of your Pokemon now if that will happen generally happens as well as always if we can't find the opponent very quickly I'll just cut through the scene and we'll come back when we find some there we go just like magic we do those utter those magic words and someone appears so we've got an ex upon they are playing a team of a zonius eval tall another x y call tap a cocoa we val whims a cot and he trying here so that we've seen a lot of x and y with we val at the minute it's a big trend that's kind of popped up today and this week on the channel and the we val is and has got a lot of utility it does well against the moon it's one of the things that does check zonius quite well it's got a fast fake out it's got low kick it's got a lot of utility you we've also Pokemon I really do enjoy using as well and had a lot of success within 2016 when the restricted Pokemon were last in use in the VGC format so what are we gonna look at here he trans a nice inclusion as well for my opponent and if we can get our trick room set up and we can get Kyle ground to the field we can do a lot of work like a lot of work it's just getting that board position set up I feel like even zorka tree doesn't do a bad job in this match to be honest but it's gonna be all about getting a trick room set up isn't it do we bring both a trick room set us here dial goes obviously the one that can take a lot more hits than anything else it has earth power as well it helps against the hitran let's go dial go it's got a moon gas Kyoga and incidental yeah we're gonna bench the bronze on once again which is so sad which is so sad it's just hard bringing bronze on against like when these double dark cores it just makes it very difficult even though we got a moon gas it's because bronze on hasn't got protect and we don't have the opportunity to get around the fake out and then like knockoff turn one especially if we see we've all you've all come up for my opponent turn one it's not likely but it's always an option that they've got we're gonna see we've out have a cocoa come up for my opponent I don't mind this too much we've got a pretty good switching to incinero here protect the algorithm if you want to and we get then guaranteed trick room of the next turn we've got to be wary about the type of cocoa because the amount of type of cocos we've actually seen this week with and taunt is being very surprising and it's something that I'd really have to consider more now I think in front of more type of cocos because we've been caught out quite a few times by it so what we'll do is switch a moongus out here we haven't got protect on that so we don't want to just take a taunt or anything this turn which kind of renders it a little bit useless going into the next one and we'll bring in incinero so we've got access to that fake out and you can help that I'll get the trick room up next turn and if you look at the team composition of my opponent once we get the trick room up like a lot of things on our team can can do a lot of work so best-case scenario I think going into this next turn is gonna be get incinero in hopefully my opponent doesn't switch their board position we have the fake out pressure we have the trick room pressure so we'll not fake out we'll not trick room at all we will you turn out into the weevile and we'll bring in Kyogre as we set up the trick room and then that should put us in such a nice position to start really denting my opponent's options so there's the protect either Coco has been denied from that and we're seeing a nice punch into incinero there so nice option and but like I said what we'll do I'm just gonna remind myself what my pond has yeah they got the they've got nothing that really acts in trick room very well so we'll go for that trick room and we'll go for the you turn out into the weevile slot and because we've all generally doesn't carry and protect so yeah we're gonna see he tried come up and I mean this is fine Thunderbolt Coco not even switching here just going into the incinero picking up the paralysis as well along the way we don't get fully paralyzed though which is the big thing here get the you turn into he try not gonna be really bad for us locking us out with them incinero out onto the field as we are able to get Kyogre now out and we can get the trick room up and now we can start smashing through my opponent's team like I say I don't think we need to worry about the he tried too much we can just probably double into the Coco that's the one thing I think likely to switch out so I'm kind of tempted just to go Thunder water spout into that slot and you know that he try and could be very slow but I doubt it is I doubt it's slower than Kyogre not in this kind of composition where you've got Whimsacott is primarily probably one of the only speed control measures for my opponent and we just see a forfeit so that is that guys and wow okay I mean that just shows how strong the team is when you can get it into that position and it's more best of one though here because like this is how devastating this team can be in best of one if you get that board position set up right then with the Kyogre out there's not a lot your opponent can do and with the Dialga support there it's just very good so that'll wrap up today's episode guys we're gonna not get a very long game in for a second one but at least we're showing the team doing super well this weekend it's performing excellently so I don't feel like we need to change up anything too drastically just yet it'd be nice to see a little bit more bronze on and zerkertree as we go into tomorrow's episode and next week's episode but if you would like to see any combinations played with the Dialga and Kyogre make sure to comment down below and we'll look at possibly bringing those in for next week's episodes but I'm gonna wrap things up there guys thank you so much for tuning in today hope you've had a great and I hope you've really enjoyed today's episode that's the main thing and I hope you have a great rest of your day whatever time of day it is so until next time guys take care of yourselves and bye bye
