 Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our Pokemon VGC 2019 battle series I hope you're all well it is Friday and beyond finishing the week of this craziness of all these memes all these gimmicks. With one more team today before we put the poll up this afternoon this evening for you guys to vote on what you'd like to see from the teams we've played this week into next week what you'd like to see a bit more of so make sure you do vote over the weekend get those votes in voting your clause like Sunday afternoon so I've got a little bit of time to kind of prepare for next week's episodes but it is going to be the final week next week of the moon series which is a little bit sad I have had a good time playing the moon series it's not been my favorite format that we've had so far this year and I am really looking forward to the ultra series but on a plus side it has been a lot of fun and I'm gonna say that and this week's been a lot of fun as well so we've got our final team today and I'm gonna reveal it now no incineroar which is yay okay great it's a little bit similar to the one we run yesterday although minus the ditto we've got the stack attacker the kyoga the ride shoe the velta the ride shoe obviously protects the kyoga the velta and the star actor who is the star of the show and the serena so the serena and the star actor are predominantly the main members of this team I've just kind of put things around it so the basic idea was that I had a long time ago was okay we've got star after it's got intimidated it's great we can scarf it so with scarf we had to beat scarf Kyogre we had speed um swift swim ludicolo in the rain which is pretty nice um and the only thing that really kind of hurts star after in those situations is fake out support so you're like okay serena is perfect for this with the queen emergency ability so we've got that perfect protection for the star actor who can final gambit anything we've got feints so nothing can protect in front of it if we want to get rid of it has to switch out force a switch and we've also got you too and we've also got brave bird and close combat there if you want to and help in hand to support that as well so serena star actor it's a really good lead combination it can put on a lot of pressure like rip through parts of portions of opponents teams to carve and win condition for the rest of the team so I think it's going to be a lot of fun getting it gone especially in the best of one format where your opponent's a bit kind of guessy anyway so it should work quite well so without further ado let's get into it today as always though guys if you do enjoy this content make sure to drop a like on the video subscribe to the channel so you don't miss these daily episodes as well as a guide series of flames world circuit or a stream of bloods and everything else in between there so it's going to be a lot of fun hopefully I'm pretty confident out of everything we've played this week I feel most confident about being able to get this star actor serena working better than anything else we've had this week and we've had a lot of success I think only one team that we featured this week has had double loss all the other teams who featured this week have had double wins which is which is pretty good so hopefully we can end up and I'm not cursing myself with a couple of wins today I touched some wood and we'll end up with a high and I hope you have been enjoying it this week just changing up teams every day is a lot of fun and just featuring some other things because the moon series has got a little bit still and you know it wasn't too much different from the sun series so it's a little bit seamy just had the z moves there and it did change it up quite a bit so just finishing up on a nice high with a bit of fun it's always a nice positive but we've got a first opponent of the day running what looks like a great team so let's hop into team preview and a first opponent is running a team of palkett incineroar aromatis shout out to our man pinko there serena kyoga and stack attacker so what can we do here I think we can use final gambit and serena and so we will lead off with our illustrious lead of star after serena what do we want in the back though because you've got to worry about potential trick room being set up from that stack attacker aromatis as well so we probably want to bring out on stack attack although it does have a really hard time against both these water type attackers and eval to does a really nice job against them and we could potentially just bring around kyoga here which I think I'm gonna do so we'll lock in straight away we'll wait for our opponent to pick theirs they've got about 30 odd seconds left and they're just gonna mull it over thinking what the heck am I facing down against right here but I mean our opponent knows all about this stuff they're playing aromatis they know they know the score they got the style points already I think things that I'm worried about here it's just it depends on the HP numbers are a lot of pokemon for the final gamut to be like super effective but we'll be able to have a good a good play around with things here we'll see if we can have some effectiveness from the star after star after is a good pokemon in general anyway just with the the intimidate support there we're gonna see the park here aromatis come out for my opponent and we'll leave off with star after and Serena so we can potentially just get rid of this aromatis but there's double trick room on the field right now which makes it a little bit more difficult for us to prevent things doesn't it right choices choices I mean the park is more threatening than the aromatis like 100% so if I was gonna pick anything I'd probably prefer to get rid of the big powerhouse and park here it makes life a lot easier for Kyogre when it comes in so I think final gamut and a faint into that slot are a lot more beneficial than going for the aromatis here just if my opponent okay I'm not gonna say anything there so we'll just go for the faint and final gambit this should be enough to take down this park here go to imagine which it is we lose star after though but star after you did such a good job you did such a good job my friend do not worry park here gone aromatis gone for the trick room that's where the trick room was coming from which makes sense okay so I think we'll get Kyogre in or do we get no we'll get Kyogre Serena coming out from my opponent this is fine because we get a decent switch into Veltal now and we can start power whipping that aromatis like there's no way we want to leave Kyogre out in the field in front of this Serena hook doke right let's bring in the Veltal and go for a power whip into aromatis get some nice damage off there we haven't been intimidated yet so that's pretty nice for us and let's see what my opponent does to adjust I I don't know if two power whips will be enough to take down the aromatis you've got to hope that it is and if I didn't mention before guys the team is in the description below check it out try it out let me know if you do I do really feel like the Serena star after combination is quite strong something I should have featured a long time ago on the channel I'm gonna see the aromatis switch out Kyogre coming in oh oh dear as long as our power whip hits this is not gonna be too good for our opponent because we should be taking this Kyogre down depending on its build of course it might be a lot more bulky than your average your average Kyogre we're gonna see a power whip into our Veltal I'm gonna take that quite comfortably here I'm power whip our Serena into the Kyogre and we will so close no bury there um okay so I think we will oblivion wing the Serena on the opposite side of the field and we'll just go for another power whip into the Kyogre that should be enough to pick up the knockout there and if the aromatis decides to come back in on that side of the field then we'll get some nice damage off anyway we're not too bad getting rid of the palkia oh it's a very slow Kyogre very slow it's gonna get this oblivion wing off oh that's not so good that is not so good high jump kick this is not great at all oh that would have been better into the Veltal because that would have actually taken our Veltal down I think but concerned about the power whip of course you want to be getting rid of the Serena if you can um but we do get the power whip now take down the Kyogre and we're going to be able to get this oblivion wing get one of our tasty tasty health back with Iry Veltal yeah and it's in range now to go down this next turn which is super good the aromatis we've got to watch out for moonblast obviously from the aromatis that's something that that can come out and do give us a few problems with the Veltal because it will hit us for a super effective damage and wouldn't have thought it will take us down but you've got to think that a double up into that slot wouldn't be ideal for us um I'm just going to power whip into the aromatis and go for that oblivion wing again into the Serena I think the double up here and the forfeit comes out from my opponent so very good again to my opponent good start for us today I think the big thing there was obviously just us getting rid of the parkia to moon which kind of makes things a lot easier parkia is a difficult pokemon to deal with it anyway you kind of suspect a z move on there as well so just being able to get rid of it with the star raptor like we did so well um made things a lot easier going forward I think the stack attack could have been a bit more problematic for us if that had been in the back but it wasn't it wasn't and we take a win on our first episode first game today so let's get into our next one hopefully it doesn't take too long to find the opponent if it does as always I'll just cut to it and we'll jump straight in where we bump into our next challenger but there we go diana that we've got up next straight into team preview playing a team of amungus incinero kayoka tonelis serena and zernius hmm okay so all right I think like outside of the zernius evalto does a really good job I do want to bring star raptor again does nice things to a lot of stuff on this team especially if they're scoffed we have to be careful about potential tailwind here as well I think this one's going to be maybe a game for raichu um but then we don't have okay no that's fine that's fine um we'll bring evalto and kayoka and we'll leave serena at home I think for this one yeah we'll do that hopefully this is the right decision I always feel a bit like uh just leaving serena really the best thing we needed for star raptor support especially with that tornado but it's probably going to go for tailwind and with raichu is that kind of fake out support on our side of the field it's it's fine isn't it um we'll get the intimidate off well the kayoka is potentially scoffed I would say it is scoffed so we could fake out the tornadoes and final gambit into the kayoka prevent the tailwind I'm going to do it I'm just going to do it into the kayoka take it down and I'm going to just fake out the tornadoes break a potential slash there oh kayoka protects okay we don't get the final gambit into it this turn but we will get it into it next turn we do get a fake out into that tornadoes you've got to think that the kayoka probably switches out this next turn though to preserve it for later in the game because it does want to go down to a final gambit so what we could do is switch into evalto predict that the tornadoes goes tailwind the kayoka switches out and we'll all switch into the tornadoes and take it down so we'll switch sorry I have to keep it around for later I'm hoping this isn't the wrong decision here kayoka's got to feel so threatened here though it's not switching out crazy man he was gonna allow it to go down tailwind it's not so good for us now at all we don't take the tornadoes down at all that's so weak that's so weak ah we can only bring our kayoka in now can't bring staraptor in oh this is not good but I mean we keep staraptor around oh oh no okay this is going to be into evalto see psych up what are you psyching up okay huh that seems like a bit of a waste of a z move to me I'm yeah they're literally left scratching my head with that one um okay we will snarl and we will go for a do we go for an attack we could potentially bring him right you again so we've got the we've got the focus ash on it and then we've got yeah I think we will do that we'll go for and then we've got fake out the next turn you have to double into that slot if you want to get rid of it which then leaves evalto kind of free to just fire off this snarl not worried about it so yeah we're going to see the double up there probably I wonder if you see thunder no just a water spout that was the other thing I was thinking maybe get the right you in okay water spout we do get the minus one tornado is coming in now oh it's buried tornadoes that makes a lot of sense that makes a lot of sense I think we've got to take down this tornadoes this next turn um so we will bring in kayoka I'm gonna need to keep staraptor for the zonius it's lurking in the back now that's the one thing that we need to be really aware of um we could water see the tornadoes actually it's not a bad plan at all um and I think it's probably a good idea to get some help back with evalto if we can do that but I am really tempted to sucker punch here as well um thunder will it be enough I don't know if it is enough to get I'm gonna hydro vortex the tornadoes because we do not want it till wending again among us coming in okay sucker punch isn't going to do anything the hurricane okay that's all right not okay please okay we get away with it the confusion it's one of those things you hate I hate so much confusions way better now and this gentleman was they reduced the the amount of time you can actually hate yourself haven't they in this generation it feels a little bit wasteful but I mean at the same time it's good just being able to deny that future tailwind although it does open the door a little bit for the zonius to come in now which is a bit of a problem here we go zern um okay we need to uh we definitely need to snarl and I think scald and if we can get a scald burn onto zonius that'll be super useful but it's gonna gm and see we probably see rage powder here oh okay I'm just gonna see the zern protect muga's probably gonna spoil and see if he velto I would imagine come on kayaga fight through the confusion this makes it really difficult for us to do to get any ground now the rain does stop as well tailwind pit us up for my opponent um we're guaranteed to turn asleep now and we've only got star up during the back and we can't do anything um I mean we can try and thunder the zonius and try and get the paralysis onto it asking a lot we're confused the rng's all got to stack up for us right now it really does this is where stack attack I would have been the man to come in now hit through this confusion kayaga pick up the paralysis please come on no uh we were asking a lot there's the this sport that is going to be game my friends that is going to be game um yeah there's not really a lot we can do gm and seed zonius tell you what so we can get like one more game in today because this drags out we know the result of this already very good game to will forfeit and um we'll we'll have one more game because we can we've got time for it we've definitely got time for one more game today so let's give this team one more try out um yeah getting into that position there wasn't much coming back from that we need to be thinking a little bit more ahead of ourselves going into that that turn where the um the moongas comes and we give the free switch into zonius which was never which was never good you never really want to be doing that in those sort of situations so we'll continue though and we'll try and give this team it's due in this last one today hopefully it doesn't take too long to find an opponent if it does as always cut right to it we've got our next opponent of the episode so it's going to be joker and we'll go straight into team pre ha joker by name joker by nature playing a team of seeking vaporeon lapras gold duck kayoga and pelippa so we've got double duck we've got double duck going on here um all right what what is going on here what is going on we've got the pelippa uh it's going to be the tailwind set it's all mono rain um seeking protects everything with its lightning on ability of course uh there's only one form of speed control here you've got the the swift swim on the gold duck that we need to be a little bit careful of obviously you've got water absorb on uh vaporeon but then you've only got tailwind on the pelippa so double rain though i think what we'll do is leady velto it's going to be very good here um it's not fake out either on my opponent's side of the field the gold duck unfortunately will add speed star after hmm which makes it a little bit more tough so i think probably serena do we got serena do we all got our own kayoga here um because we do have thunder and it kind of forces the seeking to come in i think we need serena and we'll bring star actor as well let's try this second mono water type team we're playing this week so it's all the rage this week all the rage i really don't know what to expect pelippa gold duck is the lead pelippa gold duck double duck okay so there's the drizzle from our kayoga so um i think we just snarl and we'll thunder the pelippa because the only way to protect it is bring in that seeking which means switching well you've got to switch either one of the slots if you switch up the the pelippa the seeking is not going to be taking any damage anyway so we make a lot of sense to see it come in potentially a lot of gold ducks and room to uh okay i'm going to see the gold duck switch out there's the seeking mm-hmm yeah and we'll probably see a tailwind from the pelippa here we do some decent damage anywhere with eval tol i think eval tol kind of cuts this team open we've got to win this game with star actor whatever happens whatever happens we do boost the seeking special attack so canceling out that scar snarl we see a tailwind set up from the pelippa i mean we're still in not a bad position at all here we've got to be a bit careful about a potential hurricane coming out from i mean what do we worry about from the seeking we could just water spout as well with kayoga i think you concentrate more down on okay wide guard coming out blocking both of our attacks darn it icy wind okay we saw this the same like the other week with the the tailwind the icy wind support they're not the other week the other day when we played that mono other mono water team with the the ludicolor there with the ice icy wind support it seems a bit overkill um i'm still gonna go snarl because i don't expect another wide guard and i'm just gonna scald into the pelippa this turn i don't think my opponent why guards now they could do i mean they're covering bases in case they want to catch us out but i think they've shown their cards and they don't go for it and probably want to try and take advantage of the speed control that they've got so they're gonna want to attack now or as soon as possible because the tailwinds can not gonna last forever seeking i'm gonna switch out we're gonna see lapras in the field now we can get this snarl off here this beat i don't know we're just gonna see another why god it's fine snarl is blocked this skull should do decent damage to this pelippa it's not gonna be picking up the knockout but any burn would be good but no no burn okay um we do need to be careful for the freeze dry course i think i'm just gonna go snarl again and just go for that i'm gonna go yeah scald again because the pelippa either has to why god it doesn't attack this turn or it has to fear the thunder um and that seeking has to come back onto the field so i really do feel yeah the pelippa maybe the seeking comes back in now yeah so that'll take yeah freeze dry okay i mean that's better than it's the kayoga slot i prefer that no white guard down now so this is way better the tailwinds gonna end this next turn although we are i see winded so we're still gonna be probably slower than both of these poke one out in the field a minute scald let's see what this is like seeking is really weak so yeah it does pretty decent damage there and picks burn which is pretty nice procking a berry though is that a lumberry or is that a big boosting a guav berry there we go so there's the tailwind pittering out we can just continue go for these snarls now and i think we'll just protect kayoga this turn it's a bit passive but i just want to get some more damage onto both these targets would you say special attack before they can do anything we may see the seeking just switch out knowing that we're not going to be going for a thunder this turn there's a pretty safe switch into pelippa but then you got to worry about a potential scald as well but we haven't seen a z move yet from my opponent's side of the field so it's got to be somewhere we actually outspeed both poke one still even after the ousey wind wow do you miss the lapras here which isn't great surf coming out serves up with lapras oh it's from the sea king ha that's nice okay and thunder okay boosting the sea king right now i think we got sucker punch into the seeking we haven't revealed it yet so we should be able to take it down and then we can go for that thunder into the lapras sucker punch will be more than enough to get the seeking here and if it switches out it means we get the thunder anyway so we're just covering bases let's see what's my opponent thinking it's ticking through their brain oh okay they're gonna they could make that one the mad play the order play freeze dry once again into eval toe still do some nice damage there thunder gonna boost that seeking even more but again it's protected i'm kind of locking it though like i mean i think we just oblivion wing it we are faster than it so we can just do that and then go for the thunder there's not much my opponent can do here because we don't want to just go for the sucker punch again could potentially protect that wouldn't be ideal for us so yeah there's the oblivion wing get some health back in the process which is always going to be useful for eval toe get this thunder into the lapras of course the rain has ended so there is every chance it could miss now we're like a turn too late what we do hit okay that's good lapras is so bulky isn't it this is ridiculously strong such a good pokemon as well you've seen it have like decent success in previous years as well okay gold they're gonna hit the field now i think we just go snarl and probably a decent time to get serena onto the field so at least we can keep kyoga till later with its thunder it'll be able to clean up this pretty easily i think serena has a pretty nice time against both these pokemon out in the field right now see surf okay yeah that's fine it's just where the freeze dry is you've got to probably think you want to concentrate a bit more into the eval toe slot as long as our snarl hits here though we should be fine that's all good freeze dry where you going into eval toe yeah let's just put us in range ah the freeze are you kidding okay we'll go for it suck a punch into the gold duck and we will go for a power whip into the lapras if the pelipa decides to come out it's not going to enjoy taking a power whip hopefully eval took in thul itself out gold duck going out i'm gonna see pelipa come back in and wants to put a bit of pressure onto this this serena we might see it protect from the lapras here i haven't seen it protect yet but could be a salt vest as well we stay frozen unfortunately power whip this will be enough i've got to imagine yeah and now just pelipa oh correct oh maybe i would have thought that would have taken out anyway hermin just gold duck to deal with now come on eval toe let's throw out let's throw out get the sucker punch into pelipa so we can get this power whip into the gold duck come on come on eval toe thul thul thul no ah psychic psychic gold duck we actually really we outspeed the pelipa and we miss with power whip come on serena why are you so blind i guess eval toes got one more chance to get this sucker punch off into the pelipa thaw out this would have been over way quicker we hadn't been frozen right let's do this sucker punch this time come on eval toe let's do this thunder the gold duck come on come on eval toe thaw out gold duck continually gone for the psychics we'll get the thunder now how slow is this pelipa it's like literally how slow is it it's so slow right we're not running a fast chai auger in this team there's a hurricane i'm not touching this eval toe it's giving me a chance for eval toe to um and i said i said it earlier didn't i we're gonna allow we're going to allow star after to win this game so we'll protect chai auger we're gonna switch eval toe out into star after because they're not targeting that slot and we're gonna allow star after to take the win here okay i would of course it would be into that slot this time watch us get confused you can't even write this you can't write this sort of stuff right okay brave bird big bird let's switch back into eval toe brave bird this thing do this star after so my opponent can see what we're clicking button by button star after best bird brave bird get rid of this pelipa yeah this fake bird they're just trying to be you are the real bird star after we all know us you win the game for us you did well good game to my opponent they'll really entertaining game for us to finish up with today so i hope you guys have enjoyed it today it's been a lot of fun i really like this team the star after is a really cool pokemon we got to see it in action obviously that second game that we played i think it was just positioning ourselves and just not thinking far enough ahead when we needed to because of the threats that were there and maybe some selections and team preview as well we're in issue but at least we finished with a win it's always good against an entertaining team as well so we're gonna end things up there guys keep an eye out for the poll it'll be posted later this evening um and get voting for what you'd like to see next week from all of the teams that we've played this week i hope you've had a good time this week seeing all these different teams and texts and stuff like that and like i said at the beginning of the week if you've got teams and gimmicks and memes that you'd like to see played going into next week make sure you do let me
