 Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our Rotorank roulette series My name is Leigh also known as Osiris and today we're going to be continuing on with our wacky weird and wonderful Rotorank roulette series we kicked off the week earlier in a week with a team of wiggly tough Lugia Dawnwing's gonna cross my hip on top Volcarona and Lurantis now today I haven't got it up for you right now because we all gonna be activating some of those bonus buttons I'm gonna activate at least two of them today And I think thinking about from our last episode the two that I'm gonna activate in today's episode is gonna be that randomizer And I'm gonna activate the legend maker as well to see if we can switch things up And maybe not disrupt the team too much because we've really fallen afraid for that in past weeks Where we've activated all three buttons, and then it's all fallen to pieces and we end the week Really in a little bit of a pitter out and we don't want to do that So we're sitting on three wins three losses this week not too bad not brilliant But I feel like we could do a lot better and finish really positive this week, which would be super nice So first button that we're gonna activate is gonna be that randomizer So we've got to go over to the wheel and see which Pokemon that we're gonna lose out of that team of six first So we'll head straight over to the wheel now and see what Pokemon we're gonna lose and get rid of it's a bit Risky, but I think it might pay off It's wiggly tough alright, okay I don't mind this at all because wiggly tough as good as it is it's cute as it is It's been super underwhelming this week the assault vest especially after last yesterday's episode If you haven't seen yesterday's episode I'll link it up here for you can go back check that out It's capabilities of taking special attacks even with the vest the ultimate vest is pretty bad So I'm not too sad to see it go to be nice feature in it. It's a cool Pokemon I think again, it's a bit like that me too ex situation where in a different team It could probably perform a lot better, but it needs some better support options around it unfortunately But it's been fun playing it Thank you so much for the suggestion Scott and Pinko for that one and we'll go straight over to the wheel See what we're gonna pull out in place of Azumarel, okay, this is cool. We get a fairy for a fairy We get a water type as well, which is great and Azumarel literally is one of my favorite Pokemon Of all time. I love Azumarel. So it's gonna be a lot of fun playing it I've got to go with the standard belly drum set. We have to do that. It's gonna be a lot of fun And I did say that we're gonna activate our legend make a button today So what we're gonna do is head over to the wheel now see which one in between Lugia and Dormwing's necrosma will come out and sadly leave the team for the rest of the week and make way for a new one So we'll see which one that is gonna be And it's Lugia. Okay. I'm a little bit sad about it And I keep mentioning this like the Mewtwo the Wigglytuff the Lugia I think in a better team with other support Pokemon other options around it It can do a lot better You know that the makeup that we've got of the team at the minute is very trick room Orientated and Lugia doesn't kind of sit in that very well because we're going down that tailwind route now We could just go down a plain Z move Z move route We could go down a calm mind route But I do feel like that Z tailwind is is a really good way to go with it And fortunately it didn't really fit in so Sad, but maybe we get it back another week You know, that's the thing if you would like to see it back do go over to our comment Community section now. There's a post up there asking for nominations for next week Make sure you just select it and it might come out again. So that is the way to do it anyway And reminder for the rest of you that the the nominations for next week is now up on the channel So go and get those nominations in before the weekend, but we need to decide which legendary We're gonna have in place of Lugia going into the rest of the week So we'll activate that legend make a button and see who it's gonna be It's Kyoga. Okay, I love this. All right. We get one of the primals We've been pretty lucky with these pics recently, you know, we've had Reco as a recently We've had Kyoga now and I'm pretty sure we had proud on somewhere along the line But it feels like a distant memory. So team looking. All right. I think those changes. I'm pretty happy with We've increased our weakness to Tap Coco Dramatically, but the team as it is as it stands right now is down in the description below There's a rope piss and a poker piss and it consists of Dawn Wings and Cosma Volcarona We've kept those two the same from the last episode the Laurentus kept the same him on top kept the same Got the Azumarilla in the team now We went like I say for that belly drum set and then the primal Kyoga and we're going down a full trick room route With this team. So we need to hopefully Support this Dawn Wings and allow it to get the trick room off that is the main prerogative of the team Azumarilla can do a lot of work though. If we get the belly drum off as well We've got that nice combination of the top mouth We've got Azumarilla with with him on top as well Which works quite nicely with that fake out support to get that belly drum off and then the rain support from the Kyoga just fits perfectly in there So let's see what we can do. We'll jump straight into it The music is on as always if you do enjoy this sort of content guys Please remember to drop a like on the video to subscribe to the channel for more Pokemon content and leave your comments down below Let me know what your thoughts are on the team on the matches that we've had so far this week And if you'd like to see any more of those bonus buttons activated as we go on Let's kick off with legendary music and hopefully it doesn't take too long to find our first opponent and just like magic FB from Japan appears so get in team preview and we'll get quickly underway with this one So our first opponent today running a team of Gengar, Scrafty, Tapufini, Sogaleo, Tapu Koko and Groudon So we've got a Groudon and Sogaleo combination here It's a it's a unique combination that you don't see too often You've got to say if there's any sort of speed control the first thing we always try and identify on our team previews is Trick Room really and it could be on the Gengar. Although it's unlikely It's more likely to be on that Sogaleo. Sogaleo having access to things like White Guard as well You've got the fake ad support from the Scrafty Intimidate support there So I'm acting a lot like the Incinero there Maybe a bit more solid in this sort of build and then double Tapu to disrupt the terrain and kind of support everything now You can identify straight away that the Tapu Koko is going to be a bit of a pain for us to deal with Now do we go hit Montauk and Domewings isn't a bad option Volcarona here could be pretty good just for its rage power and it does take advantage of the the weather there And maybe Kyogre obviously has a backup as well if we can get Kyogre hit Montauk on the field Under trick room. We're sitting pretty good I think the one thing that we maybe have to worry about a little bit and whether or not We want to bring the Volcarona is the Tapu Finney ways to deal with that We're kind of relying heavily on our Domewings and Acrosma But I think it should be all right if we get a trick room up. We should be good Not gonna be easy by any means, but I think we've got a route to win I think we've got a route to win It's gonna be difficult, of course. The question is thrown up from Sogaleo How our opponent positions it on the board Utilizes potentially that wide guard. Where's the Z move? Is it on the Koko? Is it on the Sogaleo? Yeah, there's a bunch of stuff that we need to worry about here So we're gonna see the Gengar and the Tapu Koko come out from my opponent You've got to think that we'd probably see a taunt come out from The Gengar turn one that would be my best guess I think here We could just fake out the Tapu Koko The one other thing we could potentially do is bring in Volcarona Here so we've got a rage powder trick room the next turn because I think we probably do see a taunt from the Gengar It depends on what this Tapu Koko does though Um, but I feel like this is probably our best route to getting a trick room up. I'm totally honest We're gonna see the Gengar mega evolve Um, donwings remember we're not trapped in because of the Gauss type in there So we're not affected by that shadow shield We're just gonna see a protect from the Koko get around that fake out from the top Um, and we'll protect as well and we'll see what this Gengar goes for. Substitute here would be bad And that's what we see okay Damn and blessed. Okay, we'll go for a rage powder and we'll go for that trick room If you can get the trick room up it does help us out a bit The problem is that we don't really want to get Kyogre in until the Groudon's on the field Um, and it doesn't look like it's gonna be something that my opponent's gonna kind of wait around to do But we'll see we'll see what they do here. Uh, we've got a pretty guaranteed trick room up I don't think Volcarona will go down to Well, you know, it's gonna take both attacks. It's got the sash. So it's gonna be fine. Whatever happens So we'll see what my opponent decides to go for. Substitute there is like the worst first though honestly like Taunt would have been better Substitute makes things way more difficult. It makes the Gengar way more threatening So let's bomb let's probably take us down to our sash No, no, that's all right. Uh, and then the Koko Z move Gigabolt havoc. Okay. I mean that's not bad wasted on to the Volcarona So the Volcarona doing its job getting the trick room up. Which is the nice thing. Um I think next turn we're gonna have to get Kyogre in as much as I really don't want to Um I mainly go for an ice beam moon guys beam into that Gengar Expecting like the Koko to switch out into groudon Yeah, because the ice beam should break the sub and then the moon guys beam should get rid of the Gengar But my opponent could easily get around that by just protecting the Gengar And switching the Koko out to groudon so It's a little difficult But what I would hope my opponents maybe us banking on us doing is going for that that water spout Uh or origin pulse and getting the groudon in so the the Gengar has a free turn in the sub still intact protecting it So we'll go for this we'll go for the ice beam. We'll go for the the moon guys beam I think if we can get this it puts us in a nice position going into the next turn There's the Koko going out so groudon coming in Just got to hope this Gengar doesn't protect Let's see That's the land. Oh, it's killing me the suspense. Come on Dang, all right. All right. I mean we can get the Gengar the next turn And we probably have to we probably have to go for the Gengar now um Just because like we can't leave it unchecked and the ice beam And then we guys be like and anything coming in we'll take a good chunk of damage Other than scrafty But we can't really like I could switch to cross my out to him on top But it's not the problem. I really want to be switching out right now I want to be switching out the Kyoga to get our weather back onto the field Um, we're likely going to take a breathless blades here on eruption Oh, this isn't good. We needed the kyoga to be slower Oh, this is the problem here now. So yeah, we're not actually going to be able to take down the Gengar And we potentially lose our dawn wings now Ah the speed tier, this is why learning the speed tiers if the pokemon before you start playing with them It's so important. Prism is blades. It doesn't even miss And yeah, we'll lose. We're losing across my now perisome Okay Perish perish perish when ice beam will get the Gengar What's the ground I'm going to do? Just protect? I would imagine protect It's like this is why I don't want to just waste that z move here because I could go for the z move right now and to ground on um, but I just feel like the ground on predicts The Gengar definitely protects 100% protects Does the ground on like why wouldn't you protect with the ground on? Yeah, I'm going to just go and move guys beam into the ground and I think the ground on protects here, right? Yeah, there's the Gengar protect. I'll kick myself if this ground on doesn't protect though Um, we could have doubled it and got rid of it It's just like the fact of wasting the z move here. That's what I didn't really want to do We would have definitely got it as well with the z move, I think from that damage miss now And that's the game now Oh, what a disappointing way to open it. Um Ah, we we I think at that point we needed to be a bit more ballsy with what we were doing um 100% like What we've got hit my top left is that it Come on. Yeah hit my top is not doing anything. So all forfeit There's no point in dragging this out. We can't do anything physically from here There's no way hit my top can even deal with the Gengar and never mind the tap cocoa or the ground on So my opponent like really just locking us down and that's not really being as bold as we needed to in some situations Which is a little bit of a shame. So that will take us to four losses and three wins and Not after the best start after the bonus button the bonus buttons are always a curse I feel like a curse the curse of the bonus buttons. Um, but never mind We've got time for even a couple more matches now. It's still early on in the episode So we still got plenty of time to uh to pull things back Four losses three wins. It's all right Standard standard roulette roulette action roulette results really isn't it? I'm not demoralized at all. I'm not demoralized. I'm just I'm just I'm just sad. I'm sad about it I always want the I always want when the bonus buttons to activate to uh to do well, but Sometimes it's not always the case. Is it it doesn't seem like it every time we activate them I can't really think of a time where we have activated them and they've done really well, but It's just one of those things right. We've got our next opponent q ai so Get into team preview. See what we're going up against uh hitra and tornado comma or kayoga Harayama and bishops a nice selection of pokemon here Some real favorites of mine. You've got the tornado there with the speed control helping out the whole team Especially the the priority taunt as well. It's uh quite annoying for us to deal with um comma always probably got the z move It's just not mega to think about Um a trick room is that definitely our best option. I think we've got to watch out for that harayama though Um and uh our intimidate isn't the easiest thing to to get off We're quite weak to tornadoes hurricane as well So we need to be a little bit careful around that um a zoomerall could be really good though for us like Honestly, if we can get a zoomerall like set up I think a zoomerall could do some real work in this match Uh, I do want to bring it I think so I'll bring your zoomerall hitm on top. It's a bit risky against that that bishop It's really risky against the bishop to be honest, uh the ball corona might be a better option. Um We'll go across matt and then I think we'll bring kayoga in the back He uh, let's go with that Let's be positive and pull back a victory in this one. We can do with the zoomerall. It's our newest member of the team It's going to do some work I'm hoping I'm hoping it's getting around the tornadoes. It's always going to be the tricky thing. I think um Volcarona's rage powder will help with that a bunch Uh, it's just whether or not we see tornadoes and kayoga come out from my opponent that will be Really problematic for us Uh, why do I say this? Why do I do this to myself? Why do I do it to myself? Uh, we we could tailwind with volcarona Uh and belliedrum I guess Yeah, I mean like it's probably worth going for I think my opponent probably tornadoes probably goes More than likely goes for um For tailwind of their own here So we'll we'll we'll try it. We'll try it. We'll try the tailwind belliedrum If we can get a zoomerall set up Like more power to us There's the tailwind. So We're just going to take waterspout damage, which we know the volcarona where the sash can take So that's that gives us a little bit of room the next turn not a massive amount of room though That's the the big problem. Uh, what's about this is going to do about half health to zoomerall for sure Oh way more way more man. That's nasty. That's nasty damage Uh, okay So zoomerall gets a bit of health back. I mean, it probably will be able to take at least one more water spout Oh, definitely not now though after that after the belliedrum pretty much out of the game now So what do we got? We've got a zoomerall Uh, what have we got in the back? Uh, because right now volcarona is doing nothing It really isn't doing anything. Um Um No, and I mean does the tornadoes have the sash? We could go for an aqua jet there And um, I don't know what we do with volcarona. We just let it go down. We could rage powder, I guess It's not really good at yeah. I mean What's the tornado it's gonna do Kyoga switching out what? What okay, okay, we're still in this then Tornados is gonna go for I'd imagine maybe even a z move. I don't know but we might be able to take it down here nice Zoomerall, I don't understand. I don't understand the kyoga switch out Okay, I mean the komo is still not the easiest thing to deal with. Um Because of the z move It doesn't affect the zoomerall of course And so we do have that play rough that we can take advantage of It's the kyoga gonna come in and do Kyoga has to come back onto the field now unless you want to sit on it till later No, it's not and it's the the kyoga We can't even whirlwind the komo all really can we um in a play rough. It's just not gonna cut the mustard there Volcarona literally can't do anything volcarona can't do anything. I mean we can whirlwind the komo all but It's just gonna get an attack off anyway. So it's like do we go just go for The water jet and guarantee damage off onto it before it does anything um Or do we go for a play rough expecting it to go for the z move and the kyoga not not attack I I really don't know I'm just gonna go for the guaranteed damage of aquajet and just rage part of the volk It's pretty useless here now in front of this kyoga with the rain up Um half health would be good Not bad not bad. There's a water spot. It will take everything down And if this means that the z move fails, that would be even better. Uh, that would be really good. Um Volcarona going down It's like super rainy outside, which is just completely matching. I don't know if it's spilling over Into the mic. I hope it is. It's like actual rain effects. Uh, we'll get kyoga in um, and we will get The charisma in Do we go trick room? We know the comma always going outrage though. That's the the big thing here, right? So my opponent's got to go a water spout And they've got to get the outrage Like hit into the cross must they've got to get it and it's like it's a coin flip, isn't it? It's a coin flip um But I feel like getting the trick room up now probably Yeah, if we get it up, I mean it's a lot better for us, isn't it? Because then we can water spout Um, and then z move the kyoga and hopefully that's enough to kind of clear the field And we should hopefully have enough To clean up whatever's in the back But again, it's going to be whether or not this comma or Okay, the origin pulse miss please miss Never misses Okay close combat. That's fine. We get the trick room up. Okay. I'll take that all day long um Because our till winds should be pittering out right now Yeah, and we have to z move into the kyoga and water spout and Like I do think that's going to be enough to get the kyoga and it should be enough to get Well, yeah, water spout should be enough to get the comma off from this range as he move menacing moon rays milstrom into the kyoga So we can pull this background and tie up going into tomorrow's episode if we get this one We still got one problem on to think about My opponent's got on the back. So it's all about getting this kyoga really if it hangs on it's going to be a bit disappointing So we'll get this z move fired off And we'll have to cut this scene so we'll be right back when we do hit into the kyoga Let's just fingers crossed. It's going to do enough damage. We'll be right back there my friends The kyoga how much is this going to do is we're going to put it in water spout range Oh, yeah, it should do come on And we are the slower kyoga, which is good. This should clean the field up Yes Oh, okay. We can pull back a win. This is a lot better. This is a lot better A zoomerrill doing all the work here Um, obviously we get a little bit fortunate. I think with the kyoga switch out and turn two for my opponent I don't really understand that play but Uh, they probably were thinking that we were going to do something different Heatran the last pokemon standing for my opponent not looking so good for it right now We'll go for that water spout and this should wrap up the game for us Which is impeccably good because we'll go for that moon guys beam and that will wrap things up for us today The moon guys beam firing off first Um And it'll definitely put the heatran in range for our water spout flash cannon coming out though It's going to get a last ditch attack off into and across my tickers down Which is fine, but kyoga sitting pretty happy full health right now Fire off one of those big bad water spouts and take the heatran down and clinch a victory for us today So that takes us to Four wins four losses going into our final day tomorrow Now whether or not we activate some more buttons in tomorrow's episode Or we'd sit on the team and try it out for a little One more episode to see if we can finish positive the dream as always would be six And four and from this point obviously it would be like 10 zero if we had it my way But it's going to be a bit difficult to do that if we can go six four and finish positive tomorrow That is incredible. That is incredible. I think that is really good. And it's something we should aim for So we're going to wrap things up there guys. Thank you so much for tuning in today Have a great rest of your day. Whatever you're up to and we'll be back for more road to rank roulette tomorrow So until then take care and bye. Bye
