 Welcome back to another episode of our Pokemon VGC 2019 battle series. We are here. It is Monday We've had a little bit of a break on the channel because we didn't have any content last week So I am super sorry and I have missed each and every one of you feels weird sitting behind the desk after such a little break It feels like such a long break to me But for those of you that don't know and my wife Tash was pregnant on the 16th of May She gave birth to our little baby girl of Thea Bay and so Thea and she's absolutely lush And I really wanted to come on today and have her here But she's she's napping at the minute and but here's a little photo you can see for yourselves. She's gorgeous She's amazing and so If I come across a little bit tired in this episode, it's because I am exhausted It's been a bit of a life shock since we got home and so it was a bit of a long pregnancy as well We had a few complications And we've been in hospital and then home and then back in and home and then back in so it's been a bit stressful But fingers crossed everything's all right now Tash is mending and healing up really well and baby's fine So it's just been amazing. So yeah, I will bring her on of course when when she does awake at some point But it's as I say, it's nice to get back into the swing of things We're gonna take it pure chill this week. It's just nice to come back catch up with you guys Touch base with you get some episodes out and get back into the swing of things a little bit slowly so where we finished off with last time was with this you've also growed on team and We had the incineroar. I put in him on top kind of performs a little bit of a kind of similar role there We lose obviously the fire and the dog typing from incinero We just get the fighting type in there, but we've already got those types anyway Covering ourselves with the belt up and the ground on so I thought hit my top in there gives us white guard support We've got the fake ad still we've got the intimidated support still and we've got help in hand I think on there, but as always the team is down in the description below If you guys would like to check it out try it out Let me know as well if you do and we'll move on to something new next week after having a bit more Very easy one this week I feel so what I'd like to ask you guys because you've been fantastic and thank you so much for all the kind comments and Messages and things that you've sent in regards to the little theater arriving. It's been really hot-warming and just you guys are amazing So thank you all for that But what I would like to ask you guys is next week coming into the channel What call would you like to see play it and I will I will play something fun I will play something that you guys would like to see explored I'm really open to playing something a lot more fun We're kind of coming to the close of the BGC 19 season now We've got us in tonight's coming up in a few weeks And then we've got worlds and then things are kind of slowly wrapping up before moving to the new season We've got a little bit of a way to go But I feel like now it's kind of a time open probably experiment a little bit more try some more fun things and have a little bit More fun with BGC now going into the next few weeks So cause you'd like to see do leave your comments down below and I look forward to reading through them and I will just say in regards to the comments In previous videos so as I say that we had that we had the birth and things like that So things at home have been super crazy for me recently And if you have left a comment and I haven't responded I am sorry. It's not because I'm ignoring them I've literally just been trying to juggle everything else and at the minute and it's not not because of that I do really appreciate each and every comment that I get from you guys and I have missed you as well It's really nice to kind of come back this weekend and put some content back out and slowly get back to how things were on the channel And we'll start getting more content as the week's got on and I start catching up on sleeping things like that So that further ado though Let's jump into this one today I'm hoping that it doesn't take too long to find an opponent because the the international challenge the online Tournament is going on this week, but with everything that I've had going on at home I missed sign-ups, which is super sad because I'm not gonna have myself a nice shiny tapu finny Which I've wanted for absolutely ever but never mind. It's just one of those things We've got a first opponent anyway pretty quick, which I'm happy about so we'll get straight into team preview So first opponent today is running a team of Kyle Garrequaza, Togonamaru, Amungas, Tapulele and Driftblim So we've got that old combination from past VGCC seasons with Tapulele, Driftblim, the unburdened ability there with Likely the psychic seed to double its speed It has tailwind support, can burn things So we have to be a little bit careful for that and it's also got hypnosis if I'm not wrong But I could be just sleep deprived and just guessing here We've got other support options there with Amungas with the redirection trick room check We've got the fake ad support from the Togonamaru lightning rod as well Which kind of hinders thunderous his ability to perform as well as kind of wants to and then the the restricted combination of Requaza and Kyle Garre so Iveltil here does I feel Iveltil does super well in this match It does well against the Lele, the Driftblim We have to be careful about the moon blast from the Lele But we do have heal pulse support from our tapu finny that we can we can go with Do we want to lead tapu finny though? That's the question And it might be worth like as much as thunderous here doesn't feel like the best Because of the Togonamaru I do feel like the priority tone could be quite good to lead with here With thunderous especially because the Driftblim won't be on the ground. So I'm gonna lead Iveltil thunderous I'm gonna bring tapu finny in and definitely gonna bring groud on here. So we'll click in with those And we'll jump straight into our first one today. So yeah Oh, I just feel like my head's all over the place at the minute as well because of just like adjusting to life getting home and just With a baby and then taking care of Tash as well. It's been it's been really stressful and like obviously with Things going on which weren't like super smooth as well. It's been it has been really stressful. So I just feel like my head's a little bit wobbly at the minute, but I'm sure I'll get Back to normal as the week goes on and we kind of adjust the things and one of the things that I am That I would like to do is stream this week So if you've got time Tuesday and Thursday this week if I can wangle it I will be streaming over on twitch because I would love to have some time to catch up with you all I think it'll be a lot of fun. Um, so if I do keep an eye on my my twitter account If you don't follow me over there follow me or Cyrus VGC is my handle Um, and I will post out if I am streaming and if I'm able to if not this week It will definitely be next week. So we've got leave from my opponent. Kyogre and toga tomorrow I think here what we'll do is just play a little bit safer. We'll take thunderous out of the equation bring tapifini I'm just going to protect the volatile here. Um, and just get our misty terrain up onto the field Tapifini's a nice switch into Kyogre as always as we all know it's a resist these water type attacks And it's so bulky as well. We have to be a little bit careful around this toga tomorrow throwing out these electric type attacks We'll get a misty seed activated dot on a velta And which is nice just to get both stride offenses But I don't want to leave it vulnerable here by attacking getting faked out and maybe a water spot at the same time So I want to just protect out a little all the velta I feel like it's going to be one of the keys to kind of unlock in this team One of the things we have to watch out for this next turn of course is Uncle on the toga tomorrow and it can also do a pretty big chunk to our tapifini as well. Um Whether or not we want to switch in groud on here, which might not be a bad idea If I'm totally honest, but I think getting a tail end up is going to be a big thing for us if we can do that um I think the thing with switching groud on in here is the problem would be um The u-turn from the toga tomorrow if we switch groud on in the toga tomorrow goes u-turn Then it's an easy switch to the requiser for my opponent We don't really want to allow them to do that I think what I'll try and do is Set up a light screen if I can with tapifini I feel a little bit like it could go down to a water spout Our zing zap here, but we're just going to see the kyogre protect this turn Which will allow us to get at least a tail wind up Velto is going to take a nuzzle in the process be paralyzed, but Fully not fully paralyzed, which we're not and we get the tail wind up, which I guess It nullifies the the nuzzle here for us for sure. We get the light screen up, which is Makes things a bit easier for us. Um, and now we can start snarling. I think with With the velto I'm probably just throw out a natus madness into this toga tomorrow here. Um But if you can weaken the kyogre it makes ground on his life a lot easier We've still got to worry about the requiser coming in, but I mean With our thunderous in the back. It's not too bad Um thunderous obviously resists the dragon ascent. It's still going to take heavy damage But I think everything in this format takes big damage from dragon ascent, doesn't it? And so we'll see what my opponent does here Any velto should still outspeed this kyogre now the tail wind up But we will see won't we my friends right as an itch is madness into the toga tomorrow Nice because getting rid of that also opens the door for thunderous to come in doesn't have to worry about the um Yes, we're gonna see as in that Yeah, we'll just about take that prokaberry. She's nice Nice nice And we're gonna snarl off so I'm not fully paralyzed here, which is good And get some chip on to the kyogre and reduce that specialist stack, which is the main thing here I'm gonna just see an origin pulse come up from the kyogre Um And finny's still not in bad shape, you know, I think one of the things you could maybe look at doing now is It's just going for another snarl. Maybe heal pulse um Because finny's not going to be around for too much longer Um, I think with the the toga tomorrow kicking around still, um, you've got to think Exactly come out onto the top of finny again um And it's probably got one more turn in it before we can get rid of maybe the toga tomorrow Maybe we'll see um Kyogre actually going to withdraw and save itself for later on what we're going to see come in Mungus, okay I mean like the thing is being nuzzled with avelto um Makes the mungus way less threatening. I know that we've got to worry about redirection, but at the same time I think the mungus coming onto the field. Oof finny just hanging on there Then we get that snarl again. So toga tomorrow. We'll go down to another snarl This does open the door for us now to bring in groud on. I think um, it's probably a good time to as well. Um I'm being paralyzed. We're not prone to being put to sleep. I'm just going to go for another snarl We're not in really any danger of getting I mean as things that Could come out from the toga tomorrow here into velto for sure And I think the thing where we what we're doing now bringing groud on onto the field is It makes it easier because we've got the type of finny even though it's low health It's got we've got that switching for when kyogre comes back onto the field just to sack finny quite quickly To get groud on back out onto the field It's just dealing with the requiser in the meantime and because we haven't got intimidate support on our field like our side of the field When the requiser comes out, it's kind of one of those things that I always prefer to have access to Yeah, we are going to see toga tomorrow go for that you turn Into the groud on here and I'd expect the kyogre to come back in so if we can catch it with a snarl That makes things a little bit easier. Um, and I wonder what this mungus goes for um It's not going to snarl anything. I like spoiling anything out in the field But we're going to see requiser come in. I mean breaking a potential sash here as well is It's ideal for us. It makes things a lot easier But I think the one thing that we need to really start doing this next turn is Let's get groud on out of the picture here. We're going to see a spoil, but it does fail into Ivelto the mist does disappear from the field Um, so we can like I say one of the things we could do is just go for that foul play into the requiser here Bring in tepp of finny Get the mist to terrain back up onto the field If we can deal with requiser here, you know, I think the the matchup with our groud on Versus the kyogre becomes a lot easier because groud on just eats a mungus toga tomorrow For breakfast and we've got thunderous to deal with the the kyogre So it's the the toga tomorrow's solo health at the minute once that's out of the picture then things become a lot easier Thunderous can come in taunt the Mungus so there's no redirection there as well and then we can just deal with the kyogre pretty pretty easily from that point Um, it's not so straightforward, but I mean we've got a game plan in in in our in our sights So that's what we have to go for so we've got the little tapp of finny back in hopefully the requiser I'd love to see a dragon ascending to this slot, but I I don't really see that happening to be honest. I think you probably chased down the evelto of anything else So there's the the requiser mega revolving and we'll see the delta stream activate There's a wage powder. Okay, I'm gonna pull away that file play which is a little bit of a shame Uh and a waterfall. Oh, okay All right, well we do lose finny. We've got the terrain up still which is not bad. Um We do some decent damage to the mungus. I mean as well, that's the thing I think we can't really bring in grad on just yet. So we're bringing thunderous I wonder if it's banned banned requiser um I'm just gonna file play the a mungus again. Um Thunderbolt are just hidden part ice the requiser I mean one of the things I could potentially do here is just I could taunt me mungus File play the requiser and taunt me mungus. That's yeah, maybe better And then at least the next turn we'll be able to go for Yeah, we're gonna be able to remove it from the field Something's taking a waterfall. Oh, it's dragon ascending. Okay, where we going? It's the evelto, okay He does do so much damage And this will take down the mungus So there's a bit of a wasted turn for my A thunderous there. We're probably better off going in power Ice into that slot and hoping that that would have been enough and then you could have file played into the requiser So a little bit of an error on our part. I think for that one for sure talking tomorrow. I'm gonna hit the field once again Which does make things a little bit more awkward um Especially because we've not really got a solid way to get rid of the talking tomorrow. Um, I mean we can protect I think one of the things we could potentially do switching groud on I just I don't want to be in that position where I've just got two pokemon left and you know I'm gonna bring in groud on and I'm gonna just protect thunderous here Because we want to be able to switch around we want to be able to switch around to try and win this weather war at the end Like that's one thing and like really conscious of And hopefully we don't see the requiser attack into that groud on here that would like I think that's the one thing that we don't want to be seeing Fake out Yeah into thunderous and then dragon ascent Yeah, it's gonna be into the groud on okay, but I mean we can protect this next turn and we can impart ice into that that requiser So much damage Okay, like the player that I would like to make is protect groud on uh hidden part ice into the requiser Which should pick up the knockout after the dragon ascent drops. Um We'll see we'll see we'll try it try it But I don't know if it's gonna be Hmm I don't know if you just protect requiser. It hasn't revealed protect It's definitely not banded because of the the move alterations. It's done Um, hopefully you chase down the groud on if you're the requiser to protect the tug of war Yeah, it's gone dragon ascent. So the hidden part ice here should be enough, especially with the sun up So I've got the delta stream anymore Yeah more than enough Uh, and now our job is dealing with Um the kayoga, um, which we're probably gonna have to sack at eval tool Um protect them. Yeah protect thunderous switch groud on out to eval tool Uh, it's then dealing with the tug of the morrow Um And then once that's done, we've got the the gig of old havoc to deal with the the kayoga So we we still got an end goal for sure It's just kind of working it in a way because the tug of morrow comes back in now It's got the fake out obviously next to the kayoga. It's trying to win this weather war and then deal with the tug of morrow The other thing is to be honest, like the kayoga is probably slower than our groud on Um, but I am going to just switch into eval to here sack that and just protect thunderous Because thunderous is like the the most well, I'd say the most important thing as the groud on is pretty important To getting this weather back up in our favor And this is why we wanted, you know, the weather war and talking about before having just the options there to Switch around to get a weather control back at some point, especially in these kind of formats where weather's such a big thing and just having That option where you can you can switch it in and Get get control again makes it a lot easier to do. So We'll protect the thunderous here. We'll see fake out for oh, just the zings. I've just gone straight for it into the eval Um, don't mind that because we switched it in to get that advantage anyway, didn't you? Um, and then there's the water spout. Yeah, so that's fine Misty terrain disappears from the field um It's a pity that our groud on isn't faster than our thunderous because here then we could we could press at his blades I'm attacking to the the um the kaoga um But I wonder what you do if you're my opponent Because you probably ice beam the the groud on I'd imagine I just I wonder if a hidden power ice is going to be enough to get the toggle tomorrow That's what I would wonder. I just don't know if it is. I don't know if it's going to be enough That's the thing. Should we just press of his blades? Just if the toggle tomorrow protects, that's the only thing And then we take an ice beam then things get a little bit tricky I'm going to protect groud on and I'm going to just go for a hidden power ice into the toggle tomorrow and hope that it's enough I mean two hidden power ices should be enough But maybe the the right thing to do here is just press his blades It's just until the toggle tomorrow is down. The thunderous is a little bit useless against the um the the kaoga Come on Oh, it's not enough. The next one will be enough though as you turn. Yeah, and then ice beam into that slot Yeah, okay, so this is fine Now we just impart ice the toggle tomorrow, which will be enough to take it down We can press his blades get some damage on that kaoga and that should wrap it up for us. Um Yeah, okay, so there we go Beating down that toggle tomorrow for the critical hit We'll get the press of his blades Does hit ground on behaving itself today. It's doing good. It's doing good doing good. Yeah, and now yeah ice beam take down the groud on um for sure And then we will have uh gigavolt havoc so thunderous coming through as the hero in today's episode I'm sorry if you can hear um baby sounds like it's awake. Yeah, so um Baby you might hear baby over the over bleeding through but here we go I'm going to end in style and we are going to have this gigavolt havoc. It is going to take down the kaoga And we're going to be able to have a victory for our first first game today, which is amazing To kick us off and I'm surprised. This is a nice game as well. I think it's a bit backwards and forwards Um, it's been a little bit tricky So I'm coming out with a win against like a call that I feel is Is pretty difficult for this team to deal with and you've got to play it Right, but I think the inclusion of the thunderous in this team Really helps out a lot against this core in particular. So very good game to my opponent and a nice way for us to kick off today. So Hopefully it doesn't take too long to find our next opponent Um, and we'll get into it But uh, I don't know like when I was mentioning earlier in the video asking you guys for what cause you'd like to see Played next week like I've played a lot of groud on on the channel And I feel like I've not really played too much kaoga. So like a core like Lunala kaoga could be nice. We've played kaoga zernius But ultra necrosma kaoga isn't a core I've really seen too much of we could explore that So there are a lot of options and we don't even need to play kaoga We don't need to play groud and we don't need to play requires that we could play something else Completely different. Um, I guess we'll pick some music So if you guys have got any ideas on restricted combinations that you'd like to see played Let's go and cross my version two because it's such a nice Day to come back onto the channel and be with you guys and put some videos out as well and just get started again Um, it's been really yeah, it's really nice. So we'll we'll celebrate with the gross my version two for sure And then next one. Hopefully it doesn't find take too long to find the next opponent. Um But if it does it's always guys and just cut it and we'll come straight back to when we do find some more And we've got an ex opponent of the episode. We've got riri. Is it riri riri rari looks like a cool team So we'll hop straight into team preview my friends Okay, so our next opponent today is running a team of groud on salamence scrafty donwings necrosma tapu finny and stack attacker. So It's probably ultra necrosma with the groud on but we can't discount that it could be just dawn wings Um, it's not likely though. I don't think there's definitely a trick room mode here I love the inclusion of the scrafty in the team. You've got that double intimidate there Scrafty performs a little bit better than incinero on the trick room. It has the fighting stab as well Lots of options for support there with the stack attacker being the trick room center Maybe supporting that groud on it's probably a mixed groud on where it can perform until wind and under those trick room Situations, you've got the trick room on the stack attacker that till and lightly on that salamence there um How are we gonna approach this like? Evaltul does Pretty decent here, you know, this one's the one for him on top. I love him on top in this match It does well against the scrafty. It does well against the stack attacker It's got the why god support against the groud on the hyper voice from the salamence Gotta be careful around that dawn wings to cross mother for sure with those Photon guises and things like that, but I think the intimidate will be very very useful here. So I'm gonna lead hitman top Um I think we'll go evaltul because evaltul's just evaltul We'll bring tappafini and then round things off with good old groud on leaving meta cross out again But we've got plenty of time this week to bring the meta cross in and give it a run out and see if what it can do We've already had a good week with meta cross as well and it's put some really good work in especially against some of those x-ray teams Um, but yeah, I really do like meta cross. I just love this team in general to be honest I think the seed evaltul is really nice and I think there's a lot of room to improve the team for sure and uh They've got a shiny tappafini Has there been an event for a shiny tappafini already? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'm suspicious We're gonna see the the cross map and the tappafini come up my opponent Um, we will activate a seed without actually bringing in our tappafini We've got access to our fake out here as well So we can stop that finny from doing anything this first turn I think it's probably not a bad idea and you could set up a tailwind, but I don't know if I want to do that right away. I might just snarl just just kind of just Kind of see what my opponent's going to go for with this and the cross map could actually yeah It's just going to withdraw putting on enough pressure with evaltul to kind of force it out as we see this grafty hit the field my opponent And uh cycle that intimidate we'll be able to just shut down the finny this next turn um One of the things I might try and do this next turn is after we've got the snarl off is try and bring our Groudon in Because it's going to be one thing that we've got on our side of the field It can really throw out big damage against the tappafini in this grafty Whereas otherwise if I bring in tappafini of our own, we're not really doing too much You're quite passive and I I want to start doing big damage quite quickly So I'm I am going to bring in the groudon here for the hitman top I think the hitman top slot as well Is probably one that you're going to ignore a little bit more if you're my opponent I know we do put a bit of pressure onto that scrafty with cross combat for sure Because of dark typing, but I think you want to concentrate probably more down on the eval to which is kind of Stopping you my opponent's ability to use that the crossmer as much as they would like in this situation So uh, we will bring in the groudon And we'll get that desolate land activated probably see a fake out from the scrafty And maybe a nature's madness into our eval to or an icy wind potentially from the finny here Um, we'll see what they go for. There's a fake out. It is into our hitman top though And nature's madness into eval to okay It's not too bad. You don't mind that too much. We could launch an eruption here. Um We could just go precipice blades precipice blades Probably a bit more reliable just to do a bit more damage to that type of finny Um, and I think your tail went here. It's probably it's a good time to get a tail wind up There's a precipice blades course. We missed the finny. This is why eruption would have been better We're gonna hit the scrafty though. So get some damage there Um, do some decent damage. You'll get this tail wind up with eval to Um Scrafty also gets super fine as well. So we have to watch out for that. We're gonna see an icy wind though So no nature's madness is time. She's kind of prefer to be honest Um, what's the scrafty gonna do? Well, are we gonna do scrafty super fine? Okay. It's into eval to make sense Yeah, that's that's that's the one thing you want to be targeting down. I think on anything else Um, I could prove it preserve ground on For a little bit later bringing a type of finny about on now just for that heel pulse support I think against uh Yeah, so I'm just going to protect eval tol. I don't want to take niches madness and super fine damage again I want to get type of finny onto the field Get some heel pulse eval tol is like so important for us, especially against that that dung wings or ultran across Whether it's lurking in the back that we've already seen um That's just another icy wind And we're gonna see another super fine from the scrafty. I'd imagine the problem is doing this is Again, like we were saying initially being very passive We've not got really that many ways to Deal with the scrafty type of finny with with these two pokemon go on the field right now But I mean with the the heel pulse support that we've got access to Kind of alleviate that a little bit. Um And I mean we could just snarl I'm not really doing too much. I mean It's just about catching something on the switch in rather than anything else. Um And I guess this is where we fall back where the problem is where oblivion wing would be Extremely useful in this situation. That's something maybe we want to consider Arnie veal tol gives us just a different dimension to be able to hit like pokemon like scrafty Get a bit more damage onto something like the type of finny as well. Um, we'll go snarl But I don't see my opponent switch it out. I think they're just gonna stay in And just keep chipping away at stuff with the icy wind. Um So there's a heel pulse. Yeah Just constant icy winds as well Super fine coming out from this scrafty probably into eval tol Ooh low kick, huh? Okay Does just about as much as the the super fine was doing. Um, I mean heel pulse again. Um I mean the one thing we could potentially do is It's just we're kind of locked. I like I really want the heel pulse Just we're just not doing the damage that we need to. Um Could go for a foul play into this scrafty just to try and get rid of that This is where you know, okay, we're gonna see this scrafty withdrawal. We're gonna see groudon coming in. So that's That works out a lot better for us here. Um And we'll be in a good position with eval tol after this turn anyway because we'll be full health. Um Um Because finny's going to be the last thing moving on the field So there's a desolate line and this foul play should do around 50 to 60 percent of the groudon And this is the last turn of our tailwind better remember. So yeah Not as much as what I was expecting maybe more specially orientated groudon And they just minus into finny here and yeah, we'll get all that health back with eval tol Um Tailwind pit us out Um, we can't just icy wind. I think I'm going for another foul play into the groudon Groudon might protect here Um, I think you're susceptible to definitely Known that you could lose your ground on quite easily here to foul play icy wind Um, but if you get greedy, I think you can go for a precipice blades to try and get rid of the type of finny It's quite risky This health that we're on now. I think if you niche as madness into that slot um Fire punch this probably will do it actually It's not the worst. It's not the worst. It's not the best losing eval tol because now the Then a crossmer has a way easier time to come in. I just don't know if I'm going to be able to do Uh the fire punch it's always something I forget about it really is. Um Now I think with the groudon it switches out to scrafty here Um, I don't think your poison groudon stays in Um, I'm just gonna niche as madness the type of finny and I think And just do I protect groudon? Or do I just precipice blades? Just I don't really want to take too much damage here Just have a protect this crafty comes in and we're forced to switch out this next turn Whereas we could just switch to him on top and then we've got a bit more room going into the next turn I think and then keeping our groudon safe is probably the best thing to do at this point um Whether or not we see this crafty come in for the opposing groudon that's that would be my best guess I think and I think we're getting punished in this match because we've not really brought The the finny check that we need um and just a little bit lacks I think on our end because um That's why we put thunderous in the team to give us a better option against that type of finny That was such a problem for us to deal with you know And I think not bringing it in this match is this is hurting us a lot And we're just it's just sitting on the field. It's been so disruptive And I think that's one of the things we've got to be very mindful of going into these matches But I'm gonna put it down to be a little bit sleepy not myself But we'll see if we can come back from this, you know, the matches know that just yet um It's probably a good time to try and set up a light screen for sure I'm just gonna fake out into the the opposing type of finny I don't think we'll pick up proc a berry there just yet And what we want to try and do is not proc a berry there I'm gonna see actually switch out groudon gonna hit the field once again We do have why god support as well so we can probably get engineer our own groudon back onto the field um And why god support I'm gonna scrafty actually out speeding uh hit my top so we do get the light screen up which is nice I think the thing we have to worry about a little bit is A super fan into our groudon And but I am just gonna why god right now bringing our groudon But the dust The dawn wings and the cross mat is the one thing that I'm worrying about And I just don't know if we've got the tools to actually deal with it right now It's half a finny gonna hit the field once again. It is impressive as blades range I would say it's probably impressive as blades range, so If we can get a groudon in safely now Um We can cover ourselves against the potential precipice blades coming out from our opponent We'll be in a decent position run into the next turn I mean it forces the scrafty back in as well. That's the other thing Yeah, so there's precipice blades, so we did block that But what we can try and do is predict the scrafty coming in for the groudon slot um, or we could just help in hand to be honest because Minus one we probably wouldn't get the finny and I think that's probably what my opponent would be going for So I'm gonna help in hand precipice blades here, which should get the finny on minus one and maybe gets the scrafty Yeah, we're gonna see it There it is So groudon being good boy today hits these blades and takes down both these would be incredible Here's that helping hand helping hand such an underrated move. It really is I mean I probably prefer to miss this crafty than the finny if I'm honest, but at the same time it's not ideal It's not ideal because this thing is incredibly difficult to deal with Especially we only got fake out to contend with as well. Um, and we could bring in finny What's that gonna get us It could protect groudon. I think you chase the groudon here. I think you chase groudon So I'm gonna just do this and I'm gonna go cross combat into the scrafty try and get the scrafty like a minus one Cross combat will get the scrafty We are gonna see the ultra necrosis. We do have the light screen up as well, which is helping us slightly but It's kind of a case of we need to get type of finny and get an icy wind onto that necrosis And I don't know whether we're going to be able to do that or not. There's a fake out. It's into the groudon Photon guys Okay, no, they made the I mean they made the right choice there, you know And now we lose a white guard as well But I think that the thing here is losing the eval to like we did Um underestimating the fire punch, which is not thinking about the fire punch. You know, it's like Bit frustrating But there's not really much we can do now because then we've got the z move coming out The precipice blades It's not really going to cut it. I don't think um I mean we can icy wind we can I see we can try an icy wind in precipice blades Okay So the pros we're going to just protect here We see super fine from the scrafting Okay, so we're going to get this but I don't think we're going to get icy wind into this new plasma That's the thing I think we probably see super fine into Okay file play Mm-hmm And the lights beam does well Now I would think on this like even if I attack you like I'm thinking okay My opponent probably thinks I protect groudon here So they attack into the finny, but it doesn't really change anything. I've got to get precipice blades and Do we heal plus Or do I yeah, I think I heal plus Or icy wind because then we can yeah if I can get an icy wind and groudon gets through this turn I just don't see it happening Oh Actually I'd speed in the plasma, but we do miss it which is Infuriating I think there's a lot on this game though. I'm not annoyed. I'm just There's there's a lot of players here that we could have made a little bit differently Be a bit more mindful of and I will put that down till I've been a little bit Not myself Um So there's into the top of finny We'll go down Strange that the ground on our speeds than the cross ma So we've got a critical hit precipice blades Into the necrosis. It's the wind. It's still But I don't think we do I don't think we do We should outspeed the groudon unless it's like a speed time. We might speed groudon. So, um, it's just whether or not the cross ma Attacks in the the opposing groudon protects But we'll see we'll see what happens. Yeah, there's the protect You're going to use the necrosis to deal with the groudon makes a lot of sense um precipice blades Does connect be interested to see how much damage this does if it does 50 percent That's no in here a minus one. Ooh Trick in a room. Okay. Nice. Okay I know it's now it's done unless their precipice blades misses But like a photon guys are they probably got Earth power fire punch doesn't want to risk it And there's a photon guys are not be getting so very good game to my opponent. Um, like I've said throughout this I think there's just areas where We could have improved I think thunderous in this matchup as well would have been a lot more useful than not bringing it Just because of the tapifinium what a threat it caused and you know It was the main reason why I put it in the team to begin with because we have that Quick answer to dealing with it and I think that's one of the things we need to be a bit more mindful of As we go on through this week, but I've enjoyed today's episode guys I really hope you have as well And I really look forward to reading through your comments So do leave them Let me know your thoughts on the changes that we've made to the team and also what you've thought of today's Battles and also like I mentioned earlier in the video Before I do this, um, just let me know what course you'd like to see played next week And I'll even put a poll up on the youtube channel so we can have a vote and we can get something Put in place for next week for what you would like to see But thank you so much for tuning in guys and I look forward to seeing you on the next episode tomorrow since elen ticker and bye
