My name is Lee also known as Osiris and today on the channel We're gonna be starting with a brand new team. It is on the screen in front of you right now There is a raw pissed and a poker pissed down in the description below If you guys to check out and try out if you like to I can't take any credit for this team Because this team belongs to a good friend of mine and a patron of the channel who won the flinch squad Invitational championship over the past weekend. So this past weekend if you didn't catch it. It is on twitch I will be uploading it to the channel and featuring those matches there the commentary the whole evening And you'll be able to catch up with it there But will played throughout the whole flinch squad circuit last season the Sun the moon Ultra qualified top seed for the Invitational and then went on to win it with this team here So absolutely incredible run a massive Congratulations to will once again and to all of our other players that competed in the Invitational It was just a pleasure to do the event. There's a lot of fun Obviously had Ben here co-commentating with us and it was a really nice evening And I hope for you that that did catch it or go back and view it now That you enjoy the event on a haul and any feedback from the event would be great to hear Obviously, I will link the twitch channel down in the description and I will be starting streaming and a proper schedule coming up very soon So stay in tune well stay tuned for that I guess so I hope you all had a weekend a good weekend We're back a little bit later this week because of the invitation I didn't have really much of a chance to record any content from Monday Tuesday So here we are Wednesday content is here and we'll play this team We'll probably play it on Monday as well because I'm away at a double MSS this weekend in all-pinton Cannot wait got to get some points on the board starting this weekend So hopefully I do we'll play this team on Monday, and then we'll come back and I'll play my MSS team All teams next week on the channel. So Without further ado my friends, let's get into this one today as always if you do enjoy this sort of content Please remember to drop a like on the video do subscribe to the channel for more pokemon content And as always leave your comments down in the description below Because I do love hearing from you and even though I can't always reply because of time constraints I will always read them leave a little heart and like when I can So don't feel like I'm ignoring you. We'll kick off with ultra recon squad. We've got a rating of 16 20 not too good I think the the last week's team Didn't go so well, but we had a lot of fun with it Of course, and that is one of the things and we found a lot out about the team that we were playing Um, but it's nice to move on to something else and something that we know is very successful I'm really looking forward to playing this core. I mean we saw will and the invitation will do so well with it And just it's got so many different modes to it and so many Explosive elements to it that make it very hard to kind of come back from hopefully it doesn't take too long to find our first opponent here today And I think I'll make the conscious effort now of just cutting it right now And we'll come back when we find our first opponent of the episode And we have our first opponent of the episode Japanese player 16 or 3 rated player. So we'll hope straight in the team preview Okay, so first opponent day playing a team of Ray Quasar, Kyogre, Tapa Coco, Incinero, Cortana and Stack Attacker It is going to be that infamous Ryogre call a very popular at the moment and for very good reasons very explosive team You've got supporting cast you got the intimidate support there from the incinero You've got a trick room check and a trick room setter and stack attacker Explosive lead again between the Cortana and the Tapa Coco and a very common call that you're kind of seeing in these teams And other teams at the minute with Kyogre is that firewater grass call between the incinero, Cortana and Kyogre Right, what do we need to do here? I've watched will so um I should know what I'm doing, but what I think what we need to do We need intimidate support for the opposing Ray Quasar, Cortana and Stack Attacker It's always going to be very helpful here. Um Or do we want to go with Tapa Coco first I mean one of the things we could potentially do is go Tapa Coco And Lunala was a lead that we did see will take advantage of quite a lot. Um in the circuit Um, do we want stacks here? I don't know if we do. We definitely need Ray Quasar though. Um And maybe Maybe incinero Hmm Maybe our own stack attack or our moongas could be good. I think incinero is probably going to be the better one of the The three that we had left so we'll go with this to kick us off today I feel like I need to adjust to the team to get used to it, but um I should have really asked will a bit more about it But I'm feeling like from watching and play I've got a good idea of how the team is meant to work And we'll um, we'll get through that this week on the channel as we're playing it So opponent is going to send out Ray Quasar and Tapa Coco as a lead Um, and we'll send out Lunala and Tapa Coco So Gotta watch out for Bandit Ray, I guess with the the crunch. Um, that could be a bit problematic Earth power as well could be an issue for us Um, now we could go for a wall switch dazzling gleam We are choice specs. So dazzling gleam going to do a lot of damage. Um, and maybe preserve our lunala Uh for later on switching to incinero at least then we get an intimidate onto this requires a Requires us tending to be More I would say on the physical side rather than the special side at the minute So if I'm guessing anything the contest count that it could also have earth power Which would we would lose Tapa Coco if it does have but I mean We'll get a good chunk of damage with the dazzling gleam on to to both targets here Um a threat from Tapa Coco speed tire Guess if it's got twinkle tackle and it goes for for that into our cocoa could potentially pick up the knock out there I'm hoping it doesn't I'm hoping it wants to break the shadow shield on the lunala And then the Ray Quasar wants to double tap into that slot Which you would imagine is the kind of the thing that you want to do in most situations because Um, we threaten trick room set up there and if that goes up It makes life a little bit more difficult for my opponent to utilize their restricteds at least I'm going to see Ray Quasar mega revolve activate that delta stream. Uh, we are going to See a dazzling gleam from the opposing. Oh, no from us. So we win. We do some nice damage Get a critical hit. Uh, voltage coming out from the opposing cocoa into our incinero Trying to break that shadow shield like I say Um, um kind of indicating that this is a sold vest Ray Quasar Which isn't so good for us because if it goes for an earth power, then we are knackered knackered. I tell you Um I thought we're gonna hit the field. Which isn't the worst thing we've got fake out pressure on this next turn So we can at least Wash that for at least one more turn. It's just about what this ray goes for And primarily you'll see all the writing that Um Crunch, okay, so that's that's fine. I mean like out of everything that kind of works out pretty well for us Um, okay, so we are locked into dazzling gleam. Whether or not we want to stay in that or not Another thing I think what we'll probably do is switch into our Ray Quasar and we will go for a Vick out into the Kyoga Just to prevent it getting a water spout off. Um, because we don't want to lose incinero too early in this game I think they intimidate support Fake out support was going to be quite important for late game for us. So, um, we'll see the opposing ray Switch out as well in incinero coming It's a bit of a shame because you kind of want to get your your requiser on the field After the intimidate to come out, um, which is a little bit of a problem, but it's not the worst Um Because we can mega evolve. I think you have to fake out our ray here. That's the thing. Um It's just what do we bring in? I don't really want to bring in coco on a full power water spout Which my opponent's going to be able to get off now. Um We could bring in lunala Because I don't think there's any threat of a dark type attack coming out from my opponents incinero Into our lunala this turn. I think it's more important to go for the fake out into the ray and possibly water spout here All right, we get them delta stream up. We'll just protect Well, the shadow shield that gives us a little bit of leeway as well. There's the water spout. Unfortunately coming out So don't want not going for a fake out Which is interesting kind of calling that bluff there going for the u-turn into Uh, lunala probably going to be able to pivot back into um either their type of coco or requiser here Maybe the the type of coco because if it's got the farium Um, no it's requiser. Okay. I don't mind this too much Um, we are berry requiser So, um, we're gonna see an ice beam. I mean is it a good time for us to go for a salt dance I'm kind of tempted to go salt stance switch into incinero here But I feel like we probably get doubled into from Um, yeah the kayoga Requiser I'd like to reset our intimidate drop as well. That's one thing I would like to do We could bring an incinero here. Um, and then we could go for just to protect I think with lunala and just try and pivot round. I want to reset the intimidate drop Um, we don't want to leave lunala open right now because a crunch if it comes into that slot We'll take us down even intimidated. So we don't want to lose lunala. Um, and I don't really Think the kayoga is going to go for a water spot here unless they suspect us switching out And they've got to worry about wide guard as well as an option. Um, there's a crunch Yeah, and ice beam. Yeah, that's kind of what I expected Could have got away with a salt stance potentially there, but we don't need to rush it. I don't think um Right, let's fake out and Oh, did we fake out the ray of the kayoga? I mean the ray probably is more likely to We could fake out the kayoga. We could double into the kayoga here because I think the ray might switch out It's just if it doesn't then I think the other thing is we could probably get tap a cocoa onto the field Uh, fake out the kayoga. The only problem is if incinero comes in now Yeah, then we're in a little bit of a sticky spot because We would have maybe been better going for a u-turn into the ray quasi and then we could pivot in something else Because now we've got that active fake out on my opponent's side of the field that is going to be able to fake out tap a cocoa Yeah, and there's the protect that's the only thing I was worried about and why I wanted fake out there I didn't want to take a water spot if it didn't protect Um, but it does unfortunately Uh, okay Now we're in a bit of a sticky situation I think we're gonna have to lose something and it's quite possibly going to be the lunala And uh, I'll bring him ray I'd have to pull a double switch. I think yeah So I don't want to lose incinero We've got ourselves into a bit of a bad spot here. Um, so we need to try and alleviate it Uh, the best we can requires are coming in. It will be able to take a water spout, uh, lunala I'm not too sure. Um, but we're not really Utilizing lunala very much in this match Is not feeling like it's a key element to winning this game at the minute. So if anything can come in and and maybe Go down it would be the lunala. There's the water spot. So, um, that if it does go down Which it doesn't wow, okay Okay, um So I think what we'll do is I really need to get Hmm I want to get some damage onto the um the kayoga to be honest, but is it likely to protect here? Because one thing I could potentially do is go moon guys beam into the kayoga Um and just protect rikwaza Just I want that fake out support next to rikwaza I want to go for the sword stance before I start throwing out attacks Because I want to be able to guarantee Knockouts on things like kayoga because I don't want to be taking a nice beam from this this range Okay, we're going to see protect maybe we see A u turn out onto the lunala Oh, it goes for that. Okay Not ideal not ideal. Um, I think we're gonna have to just double the kayoga now I mean we could go y god, but it's likely gonna go for Um, it's likely gonna go for an ice beam And that means we will lose Ray Okay, let's try it Okay, kaios are gonna go out like I don't mind this too much type of cocoa coming in now We should get a moon guys beam Oh into incineroar, which is not ideal. Okay. Well, we'll definitely see the u turn here We maybe could have predicted there and went for a sword stance You know But I mean getting rid of the cocoa is pretty nice for us. I think the next thing that we need to do is just get around um The incineroar's fake out, which is gonna come in You can guarantee Okay. Well we do a little bit of damage there. It's not the worst. It's not the best either. We are gonna lose lunala now. Um I don't think we bring in type of cocoa just yet with specs I think we just keep it back because we'll be in that same situation again If the incineroar comes in with anything like kayoga on this next turn where it can fake us out pretty freely We can't protect so kayoga are gonna come back onto the field. We're likely gonna see the incineroar come out as well And I'm hoping I need to refresh myself about this speed Tears, but it'd be nice if we were the faster incineroar I don't know if we will be because it means that we can switch into type of cocoa And reset our intimidate drop Farewell looks as though we are The faster one so yeah faking out Kayoga's probably the best thing we can do here. Um and get cocoa onto the field So we'll do that fake out kayoga switch out right into cocoa Because we're just going to trade fake outs. Otherwise, that's the thing um Which I'd like to try and avoid um There's an argument we could stand and try and go for a sword stance But I think there's more leverage in us resetting that intimidate drop that we've hired onto our outside of the field and then the next thing what we can try and do to keep ourselves ahead is go for um The switch into requiser now. This is what my opponent's doing getting ahead of us here because um We had to fake out the kayoga. Otherwise we lose incineroar Now they kind of take advantage of that making a really nice play getting their requiser onto the field Um meaning that we've got a little bit. It makes it way more difficult for us to um to cycle our intimidate again And we can't really bring in our own requiser right now But we can probably get the kayoga I will go for you turn into the requiser to try and get that off there. Um, I could discharge But I think a speck standard bolt is a as a better option onto the the kayoga here The kayoga could protect as well. That's the other option that we could see I could take an uh, which wouldn't be good So maybe the discharge would have been better because that would probably proc the berry on incineroar. Oh, we're actually gonna see ray um Okay I don't mind that we might see kayoga protect now. Yeah But I don't mind if at all because we get ray quasi in They haven't got the intimidate now Um onto our ray and they can only fake. I want all that so they're gonna take big damage from something I really wish I knew my ray quasi cuts because um I would love to go for a salt stance right now. I think that would be A big player for us salt stance Can we take an ice beam from this range? Probably I would say probably but I don't want to um I don't want to risk fake out ice beam because then it kind of really limits our requiser's ability. I mean I say that though if they fake they're gonna have to fake out coco I think we'll salt stance we'll salt stance and we'll go for a thunderbolt I'm just gonna do it There's a fake out into coco. Okay Now things start to get a little bit heated ice beam. We need to take this though. That's the big thing Ray quasi the beast. Okay. We take it Now we should be able to close this one up because Specs thunderbolt the kayoga we're going to incineroar with a dragon ascent We've got our intimidate in the back So we kind of cover the the dragon ascent drop this turn Um to make sure that extremes be the next turn from the the ray when it comes in It's fine specs coco picking up the knockout there Poof this one's been a bit of a slog to get around but I think uh, we did make a little bit of a mistake earlier on But I think we've got ourselves out of it letting the lunala go down And then taking that opportunity there to get that salt stance up And that's how quick a match like this can flip on its head Now we've got the the ray quasi to come onto the field for my opponent And there's not really too much they can do we pivot out the coco get the intimidate cycle onto the opposing ray And just extreme speed and plus two extreme speed from Is it gonna I don't know if we want to risk it probably Do we just go dragon ascent because we've got coco anyway, so it's fine. We'll just go dragon ascent Um, I don't know if extreme speed will get it from that range I'd be yeah a bit surprised, but there we see a full fit and we pick up a victory Do you proud will and show the team has got those mods to it? I I'm a bit suspect to whether the lunala was the right pick there We maybe would have been better off bringing something else But I still think lunala give us a little bit of a cushion when we needed it to so it wasn't I don't think the wrong choice in all all aspects, but I don't think it was completely the right choice either. Um, so A nice one for us to kick off with today a bit of a longer one, but like I say sometimes the better matches are a bit of a slog and It's it's mad to think though. It's like that one turn can flip and that's that's totally this format, isn't it? All right, we'll pick some music Let's go with Not battle royale. I'm not a fan of battle royale. Let's go on a cross my version one As we like to cross my version two, but we we don't tend to go on to that one very much We will keep that for special occasions Because I spam it way too much Um, but yeah, I think that match there shows like you can slog away You've got it. It's it's all about In this format really identifying and taking that little turn that can just twist it around for you And um, you've got to be patient. I think that's another thing to kind of Translate onto onto you guys's players new players even even uh more experienced players It's all about a lot of the time patience not taking risks I mean look at wolf right wolf is a perfect example of someone that is He's got like the patience of like i've never like he will just keep going keep going safe safe safe And then that moment where he knows Like he can identify a moment a bold position a moment where he thinks if I get this up now It's safe for me to do. I'm not going to lose anything by doing it Then I will win this match and it's all about that momentum being very patient methodical And then just waiting for that one maybe you know, you're not going to get just one moment per match There is multiple moments, but it's identifying the right Environment the right situation at the time for you to to do that There's not many people on battle spot today Um, but we will continue to search I'll cut it now and then we'll come back when we find our our first our second opponent of the episode So we'll be right back my friends We've got our next opponent so ethoks I didn't catch where from 1599 rate of play Or playing a nice looking team Oh nasty depending on how you look at it, but we've got a velto ground on gengar tapu finny incinero and shed ninja Okay, so we've got the Evelto ground on combination restricted pairing Very strong covers each other nicely, especially because of the fire typing on the ground on primal ground on now Then you've got the mega gengar going to be the mega of the team wants to trap in Our pokemon so give him given us less option to switch out less synergy here And punishing us where they can she ninja going to be a bit of a pain to deal with as well Especially because combined with the tapu finny you've got to be aware of the potential sock Scenario, so we've got plenty on our team to kind of cover that though Um, one of the things it would say is looking on face value at my opponent's team trick room will do pretty well If we can get the trick room setup. It's just about covering Um our basis. So I'm going to go lunala tapu coco Um, do we want incinero here or do we want stacks stacks could do some damage if we can get the trick room setup And we've got wide guard as well. So we don't need to worry too much about that And uh, I think we always want to bring requiser to these matches to be honest. Um, I feel a bit weirdly even incinero Um, especially because there's two dark types, but um, yeah, we'll go with this And we'll see how we get on And moongas could have been a good one as well because I think If We do see the sock onto the shinninger Then tapu coco comes becomes way more important for us. So we need to be Very very sure in ourselves that we're not allowing tapu coco to go down very freely here Oh, this looks lovely, especially when you know that the tapu coco has got this charge We can do some real work Or we could just spex thunderbolt the beltel couldn't we in trick room I don't know what to do spex thunderbolt Are we gonna get the beltel spex thunderbolt not in terrain? Depends what build it is of course If it's a salt vest then Well, if it's a salt vest, then we've got an easier route to get in our trick room up If it's the move then I think the thunderbolt would get it um We could be a little bit Uh, well, hmm do we want to do do we want to just get the trick room up and get stacks in? I think we'll just try that um And go for a vault switch I don't think evelta is going to be able to take down lunaula here because I think it has to hit after the tapu finny And I don't think it's going to be able to the worst situation here for us is going to be um This this is a move We'll get stacks in Of course, we should have just thunderbolted it Well, why haven't you got the call blueberry on call blueberry and the casseves 100 better? And we could have protected there as well, you know, I lose a trick room And we lose a lunaula just like that. Okay. Well Icy wind It's not the worst. We'll get cocoa back onto the field at least. Um We get electric terrain up kind of Feels like ground on will come onto the field now though. Um So whether we keep stack attack are out or We could go for the continental crush to be honest Just where is the ground on going to come in? Um I want to get rid of the finny if I can so I'll thunderbolt there Um We could trick room again, but I think at this point it's not really going to do us any huge favors We could substitute as well um That stuff might be nice to get up to be honest Uh But we could just go for the rockium into the valto I'm gonna go into the valto because I feel like the ground might come in there Yeah, and if we catch it with the yeah The continental crush still gonna do a ton of damage. No, we're like not intimidated We should get rid of the finny as well with the specs thunderbolt, which hopefully catches my opponent a little bit off-guard Um Thunderbolt come on specs Show your power excellent Okay, be interested to see how much damage we can do to this ground on and if what my opponent's like fourth pokemon is if it's such a ninja um Then we need to preserve koko, but we've got we got ray in the back. So it's not like the worst the valto is in extreme speed range and I think after this Dragon Ascent is probably likely to pick up the knockout on to ground on so ray could potentially come in and clean up Yeah, dragon ascent will get after this. Okay See I don't expect the valto to come in now But if it is she ninja it is okay, that makes things a bit more tricky for us because We might have to lose We might have to lose koko here because I don't think we've got wide god. Have we on stacks? um And I can only thunderbolt I've got to get ray quasi in because otherwise we've got no way to hit the she ninja other than stack attacker So stack attacker now without the soul because obviously a big a big a big thing to keep Keep safe, um And we don't have protect so we can't leave it in front of a ground on unfortunately We'll have to switch out into ray Well, I mean ray deals with she ninja as well But you know we want to try and preserve two things if we can stack attack coming back in as well um Yeah press displays It does it At least we've got two options now against the she ninja and I don't think it goes for a toxic It goes for a toxic. Okay predicting the switch. I'm gonna say because otherwise you're toxicking into a um In a stack attacker, which is never gonna be a thing to do is it because of the steel tech now? Maybe they don't know that who knows who knows We can't poison the steel type. I think we're gonna be all right though. Now there's no Worry about us taking down the ground on with a dragon ascent. Um, and we can just go for a stone edge into the she ninja um mega roll Dragonson from this range would definitely get the ground on Because it's just ridiculous and a ridiculous attack Now I'm worrying now. I'm like is it gonna take it Is it is it gonna take it? Hopefully hopefully hopefully we're all right. I don't imagine we will be No Okay, well, it's not the worst. I mean ray can't deal with this whole I mean dragon ascent would be the worst thing Uh dragon claw forget about allies switch all the time She ninja. I hate you hate you And this toxic is gonna be a little bit tricky to get around. I mean we do have the berries. It's not the worst thing in the world um Miss miss miss it doesn't miss Getting properly bopped on by she ninja ground on Oh, okay um Do we chase the ground on down or do we chase the she ninja? I mean the ground has probably not got really a way to hit us to be honest other than fire punch I'm gonna go for the dragon ascent into the she ninja If we can just remove that from the field and make things a lot easier Um It's gonna shatter It's gonna be very very close very close. Depends if the velta has suck a punch and decides to go for it Depends how much this does as well prokina berry Probably gonna see some double protecting shenanigans going here I don't think we can do it because I think the toxic tick plus a fire punch will get us Um, all my opponent really needs to do is fire punch with ground on Um, like double attack here And then they've got us Oh, this is this is just All we can hope for is the ground on protects the velta goes for an attack into us We I'm gonna extreme speed because I've got to hope the ground on protects here if the ground on protects them We could win this still Leave out to protect so I think we lost because the ground on probably protects as well Yeah, the toxic tick And I don't think there's nothing we can do to get around the foul play Um or fire punch and then the toxic will get us this next turn My opponents played it really well. Uh, we've just got trapped in by she ninja and the ally switch kind of caught us off a little bit there Um Let's drag in the same ground on I don't know if the velta goes for a sucker punch. No it goes foul play so There we go my friends I'm a bit sad about losing this last one But I think it was one that we could have like a best of three will make that so much easier That's the thing like best of one. We know we've got so much information about the team But I think getting caught our best of one obviously They're the ones that I want to go into a best of three with because I think if that's a one We can easily manage with all the information that we've got and my opponent might come back and say the same thing about us But I think knowing that the z moves on the eval to makes things a lot easier and it makes Our decision making a lot better. We wouldn't lose lunala so early on which I think gives us a better Match up against other things late game. Um, but we'll end it there. Thank you so much for tuning in It's been a bit of a longer one today, but I hope you've enjoyed it. Thank you so much again to will for the team We'll be back tomorrow with more from this team. So stay tuned for that. Have a great day. Whatever you're up to Thanks again for tuning in and I'll see you for the next one. So until then my friends take care of yourselves and bye. Bye
