 Hey everyone and welcome back to another episode of our Pokemon vgc 2019 battle series. It is Friday. Thank goodness It's Friday. I hope you're all doing well. As I say, thank you so much for tuning in We kicked off this week with the team you can see on your screen right in front of you now As always it is down in the description below. There is a raw paste poker paste check it out Try it out. Let me know if you do try it out or what your thoughts are on it I've had a lot of fun with the team this week So I hope you have been enjoying the episode so far this week if you've missed any of the games from this week You'd like to go back check them out before coming into this one I'll link a card up there for you can check those outcome into today's episode and you'll all be up to date with what's been going on with the team It's got a lot of fun shenanigans that have been going on and I think in a better one situation It's really really strong, but I'd like to test it out in a better three I really would I think it's still got a lot of potential for best of three But best of one it probably does a lot better than Than best of three maybe but maybe not as well and one of the things that we will do is just we kept the team before jumping into today We've also got the primal Kyogre. It's pretty straightforward modest 252 Special attack speed there. We've got the tornado so it is very bulky. It's got a berry I couldn't really expend the focus sash on it. So we've put that onto the token tomorrow and Which is a little bit better because of the line and run But then we can take advantage of endeavor that we've got on them We've seen that do some work this week. So hopefully that continues as we go on got the zernius Pretty standard there Geomancy power herb the Kangas con. We've got bite on it We saw it do really well over the weekend at the International championships the European ones there. So we're gonna give that a run out this week in Kangas con Honestly, he's been doing some nice work. I don't know whether to go a bit more bulky there We've just went really standard on it really fast really offensive and it seems to be doing a nice job The only thing I would say maybe worth Looking out will be Changing the the return there for the double edge. We've run into a few issues there We've missed the kill and it's proved pretty crucial Whereas if you picked up the knockout, it would have tilted the game probably in our favor And then the Serena there with the Z move which just supports tornadoes because we haven't got protect there We got role play on it. So I'm just to kind of protect it from Puzzle and fake outs and things like that. So we haven't really utilised it very much We haven't used the Z move on it. So maybe that's a slot we can look at and Going forward to to change up and give us a bit more support, especially against something like tapalleles So as I say, we'll change things up on Monday, but the team's down in the pace below Let's crack some music on and get into this one today as always guys if you do enjoy the content Please make sure to drop a like on the video Do subscribe to the channel for more Pokemon content and do leave your comments down below Because like I say every single episode I do really love hearing from you guys We have such a lovely and amazing community amazing bunch of people here and it is just A great just hearing from you all. I'll jump over to the proper screen Ah, but we've missed it, but I'm on a rating of 16 I think 80 something we'll find out in game But we'll hop over to team preview because I'm just too slow with clicking around But our first opponent today playing real guy, we've got taba coca tabalela incinero and bronzon I think we've played this team already This week, I'm pretty sure so this is like a game too. I'm pretty sure we've played it The tabalela is always a pain for us to deal with Requires us obviously going to be difficult for us as well But we do want to go tornado this year. You know the bronzon is going to be something with mental herb I do want to go kangis con. I think I'll do I want to go toggle tomorrow To go tomorrow is probably better. I think for the nuzzle ability Um and then Zonius is always going to be good. It's just dealing with the bronzon. It's a bit of an issue Um, but endeavor does nice there. Kyogre is always going to be good And it's down to zonius or kangis con really um, and honestly I'm feeling more zonius More zon. I think I'm going to go zon here. Yeah, we'll do that We'll lock in and we'll get into this first one today. So good luck to my opponent Hope you enjoy this first one to kick us off today right Yeah, I think we played this this guy girl this trainer earlier on this week Um, I can't remember the exact details of the match. I know we probably came out victorious But it would have been very close. The lele causes us all sorts of problems. So does the bronzon bronzon lele All the psychic and we haven't got any darky though mix. Well, we've got a little bit of dark on kang, haven't we? There's the kyogre coming out. Didn't we get caught out by the lele switching in for The bronzon and the kyogre just muciness with a water spout. I'm pretty sure that's what happened And are they gonna do it again? Or are they just gonna set up trick room now because I'm thinking if they try that again I Can't I can't physically set up a tailwind in front of this bronzon It's like it goes against everything that I want to do Could fake it out But I just I don't feel like doing that either We could just double into the I'm gonna taunt. I need to prevent I don't care if the lele comes in there and I'm gonna go for A nuzzle into the kyogre What are we gonna see my opponent do? Kyogre protecting the bronzon staying in this time. So I'm pretty sure like if my memory serves me right That's what happened. Are we gonna see a mental herb though? No mental herb. So it's gone for the trick room Yeah, there we go. Ha catch you out my friend fool me once You probably will fool me again through this match, but we'll try and get around things It's nice that we get the the It's nice that we are able to get the The taunt there. I'm just gonna hurricane and I'm gonna Nuzzle into this kyogre. I don't know what comes in on this slot, but whatever comes in we can paralyze Bronzon's not playing too much. I'm gonna see it switch out now. I'm gonna see tapulele hit the field We've got a hurricane and the nozzle into this kyogre which puts us in a little bit of a better place Now we could have went for the nozzle into that tapulele Which would have been a little bit better just to to nuke that the next time But we do have access to our tailwind because after the hurricane Um, I was a little bit confused earlier in the week. Why I was like, we should take a water spa But we have to hurricane the kyogre to take the water spa. Oh, that's even better for us, you know um now we can Go for um a tailwind. I think we go for the tailwind now and we just go for a nozzle into the lele um Shut this down Tailwind no switches out for my opponent. So that's good Nuzzle into the lele. Oh lele is not actually scoffed, which is interesting So let's see what that does Paralyzed come on double parallel Now origin plus, okay, that's fine. We get the uh, the thing is now that like we'll be down to our slash with toga mori Which opens up the door for our um endeavor support, which is the big thing here Um, because we can start doubling into stuff Um hurricane, I think what we'll do is go for a hurricane. Hmm I would just out of berry range with tornadoes as well, which is a little bit annoying. Um Yeah, well hurricane kyoga will go for endeavor into tabu lele Let's see. I wonder what protects it protect from the lele, okay We could get really fortunate and see the uh the kyoga just Like could get confused here and then para fusion from back in the day Oh, it's gonna happen. Are we mystic meg? No, I don't think so, but is it gonna actually be able to attack? No, it's not okay Things going from bad to worse for my opponent now. We can double in on this lele and get rid of it now Um, or we could just get rid of the kyoga I'm gonna go for the lele. I'm just gonna endeavor Yeah, endeavor hurricane that'll be enough to get it because toga namara moves before the lele Oh, and I mean we have been pretty brutal with the rng there You cannot blame my opponent for um for full fitting there. I do apologize. That's it's not really how you want games to go Um, but I mean when you've got tools in your team that are able to kind of cause that disruption It's gonna happen at some point. It will happen, but it's never it's never nice. Um, so um I do throw out a little bit of sympathy for my opponent there because I know how I'd feel if I was on the receiving end of it But it's always it's always one of those things when it's gone in your favor It's like, ah, it's like the best thing in the world, but it's it's horrible As I say, it's horrible for your opponent when it is happening because you just think oh, why is this happening to us? Why did we deserve this and there's no reason it's just the game being the game at times, isn't it so um Hopefully they have a really nice run from now on. Let's go team skull boss Let's go for it because guzma is the man. He is the man. He is the bad guy that sounds good Spoiler spoiler all over. I'm sure everyone's played through ultra sun and moon if you haven't enough just wreck that for you I do apologize But um, yeah, guzma is a cool guy Um, but we're close to 1700 It'd be nice to get a win to knock us over into that going into the weekend to come back next weekend Uh with with that 1700. So let's see what we can do because we've got an ex opponent. We'll jump straight into team preview So next opponent running a team of zernius requires a tap a coco incinero Suicune and ferrathorn. So a really nice build here. I know It's very similar to a team. I think mr. Gx on the shodan ladder has been playing who's A very very solid ladder player. Um, so if this is any inspiration from his build It's going to be a very tough team to play You've got tailwind support from the suicune here not really any other speed control Uh that I can really see on this team. Maybe electra web on the tap coco He could have icy wind on the suicune. It's probably got raw as well It's a really nice support option But the serena could do a decent job for us here like Like really decent job for us here. Um, we do need to be very careful I think one thing that we need to watch out for is this ferrathorn It can cause us lots of problems and we're going to find it very hard to deal with Especially with the stuff that we've got in our team. I think though, what I would like to do is probably go zernius togo tomorrow here um I'll do it not go zernius because of the suicune that makes things a little bit more difficult I'm going to go serena zernius I'm going to go to go tomorrow and I'm going to go kayaga in the back and we're going to go lock in And see if we can get around it this way. Let's see I feel like not bringing kank makes the the ferrathorn matchup even more difficult So we're like We're relying on togo tomorrow with endeavor here To deal with the the ferrathorn, which is never good. I don't think our selection He has been very good at all, but we'll see okay requires a ferrathorn come up for my opponent I wonder if it's bandit rey as well Hmm All right, let's see what we can do. I mean priority number one is trying to get rid of the ferrathorn for sure Let's bring in togo tomorrow Togo tomorrow takes potentially a dragon ascent here. You can get Maybe a moon blast Moon blast and endeavor into that ferrathorn and we've got the endeavor off before zernius moves So it might be putting that ferrathorn in enough range With that tiny hp to pick up a knockout there potentially Now what's the requires are going to do? I'd imagine it does dragon ascent here for sure. Probably doesn't focus down on the The zernius though because you've got ferrathorn that can deal with that pretty comfortably Um, so I'd imagine you'd go for the dragon ascent into the togo tomorrow here And the next thing you've got to worry about potentially fake out into that slot Dragon ascent Yeah into togy now. We're like minimum speed ivs on this total tomorrow So this might it's bandit. That's still not doing enough is it? Okay Yeah The dude endeavor I don't really want to geomancy here. That's the thing And I think the requires are protects if anything or switches out 68 hp is that going to be enough to get the ferrathorn? With endeavor it's just whether or not the ferrathorn has a berry here as well. That's the big thing I'm going to go for the endeavor for sure and I'm going to go for a moonblast as well into the ferrathorn. Oh See the requires are just dragon ascent. It's going into the zernius. It's probably bandit I think we should take it though Yeah, just about Oh, we would have been better going for the uh, the dazzling gleam there, wouldn't we? Oh, we're not going to get we're not going to get it with moonblast from this range. No way Huh No And there's the berry There's the berry Okay, we still got some options. We still got some options. It's not over just yet It's kind of over isn't it? Yeah, this is terrible Okay, what can we do Let's bring in kayoga Because one of the things we could potentially do is nuzzle that requires I know Protect kayoga if we can do that Then we can endeavor origin puzzle endeavor water spout Into the ferrathorn. Oh man bringing the cat not bringing kang here. It's just screwed us so hard Uh, oh even tornadoes tornadoes would have been way better as well again the the tail wind up Um, we're really we're really struggling here. Um Yeah, we need to nuzzle the ray And see if we can get like toga tomorrow should you get this nuzzle off should How was 16 97 our rating so even closer to 1700 So this is this is heartbreaking if we can't do this, but we've got no one else to blame but our team selection here So there's a protect on the kayoga um Dragon ascent it is into the kayoga. So we are going to get this nuzzle off, which is which is really nice Um, okay, that's good uh requires a kind of Out of action now jarra ball into the kayoga as well. Okay um Now here we go for the endeavor play again and the water spout I wonder if a water spout can get the requiser from this ranger is minus two defense. This is dragon type though so it's going to be able to I think it'd be pretty close. I think it will be pretty close It's just if serena is the only thing in the back that we've got left to deal with It, um, it's just we can get we can definitely get the ferrathorn from here It's just whether or not the ferrathorn protects or not Uh, I'm going to just endeavor. I'm just hoping that we can get the requiser minus two with a water spout from here Yeah, it makes sense to do that It's going to be about if we get the oh, it's not banded. Huh Damn that does so much damage Man Okay, we'll take another we'll take another extreme speed Wow, okay, we get the requiser anyway critical hit so we get lucky there you get really lucky It's not banded ray, which is interesting. I guess it probably would have been doing more damage. That's the thing Okay, what to do here Because if we don't target the zernius then It gets a geomancy up, which we don't want Origin pulse will not get the ferrathorn from this range and it really depends then what my opponent's last Pokemon is You've got to think it probably is the incineral Which if it is makes things very difficult for us Um Now we could just origin pulse get rid of the ferrathorn and endeavor or we could endeavor the zernius I'm going to do the zernius here and just origin pulse And hope we can get the zernius like hopefully we take them in last Come on toga togy Ah, at least it's not a geomancy, but we lose we need a power whip miss here And I mean now that's done that is done Not bringing the kang here really cost us. I think that's the big thing. Yeah, there's a power whip and Serena the only thing got left in our arsenal Probably not going to be enough to deal with everything Definitely not we've not got a way to hit the ferrathorn Because we haven't got a high jump kick on it which would have been really useful, but we needed the pivot with u-turn Ah, what a what a miserable way to end this episode with this battle, but I mean Yeah, we said it from the start it was going to be Going to be difficult to do all the ferrathorn and my opponent's made all the right players We're just going to see another moon blast Serena will take it and we will get the bloom doom off So at least we featured everything pretty much this week the bloom doom from this arena I'm going to take down there Zernius, but it's a bit too late for us to come back from in this one Yeah, we needed kang to deal with that. That's the other thing like ferrathorn In and obviously tabulae are two things that we we've got big big issues with in this team So we need something to kind of deal with both of those Maybe high jump kick on serena does well, but Survive with 2hp 2hp, let's see we can see the last pokemon at least Ah, that is yeah, it's incineral Talking about it takes that moon blast there Still the ferrathorn would have been around so I don't think it would have been any different because we still lose the um Let's take ourselves down with a faint unless we get faked out Well, we can't because of the queen of majesty billy. So let's self sacrifice on these iron barbs Oh, we that doesn't make contact. Oh, that's interesting. So flare blade is going to just incinerate Serena I should know that actually faint doesn't make contact isn't it's not a contact move So that's interesting for future as well. Okay Good game to my opponent a little bit sad that we're ending with a loss there But we'll come back stronger next week. We'll make some changes. We've got some really good information this week Tabulae is a bit of an issue. Um, we can play around. It is very difficult We really need to utilize talking tomorrow Ferrathorn, we need to bring cangas con and it would be nice to have something else wearing the team that can deal with With ferrathorn as well. Obviously not having incineral like you'd normally rely on Makes it a little bit more difficult to deal with so they're they're the big key areas that we're going to look at Going into making changes on monday So we'll wrap things up there guys. Do leave your comments though. Let me know what you think Changes wise you'd make to the team gone into next week. It has been a lot of fun with the team Like I've had a really nice run with it this week. I think it's got some really nice elements to it It's a little bit different from what we're seeing at the minute as well So I do hope you've enjoyed it But I would be really interested to know what your thoughts are going forward with the team And what you would maybe change to alleviate the issues that we've kind of come up against this week So I'll look forward to reading those as and when you do leave your comments. So Have a great weekend guys, whatever you're up to and we'll be back for more Vgc battle spot action on monday with some changes in mind So until then guys take care of yourselves. Have a great weekend and I will see you all later. Until then. Bye. Bye
