 Hi everyone and welcome back to another episode of our Rotorank roulette series, my name is Lee also known as Osiris and we're going to be continuing on with our wacky team that we kicked out from the roulette at the start of the week today. I haven't got the team on the screen in front of us now because we can activate one of our bonus buttons and I am going to do that again today. We've got a switchup that we can activate today, we activated two of those buttons yesterday. If you've missed any of the episodes so far and would like to check out the team and the progress and how we've been getting on this week before coming into today's episode I'll link a little card up there for you, this little eye there that you can click on that'll take you back you can check those out and then come back into this one or check them out after this episode whichever you would prefer but today as I say we're going to kick off with activating that switchup button. I've got to nominate a Pokemon from the team and I know we only included this Pokemon yesterday but I am going to switch it up already because I feel like we just need a little bit more firepower to the team and kind of go down that line of the hyper defensiveness that we've got at the minute and try and add to that so it's a bit of a risk we could get a bit bitten by it but I feel like it's a worthy a worthy choice to take right now and one that's worth taking because we've had some really good matches this week and you know we had that first match yesterday which was so close but again I feel like we were just lacking a little bit of something to kind of push us over the edge in that one. The second game was a bit different we managed to get a win we're seeing on a record of three wins four losses at the minute and I really want to finish positive by the end of the week so I'm going to do everything in my power to be able to kind of come back from this one and make sure that we do finish positive so activating this button the switchup is the first one I'm going to throw Empolion out I'm sorry Empolion but let's head over to the wheel and see which Pokemon that you guys have nominated that we're going to have thrown in and included for the rest of this week. It's Green Inja! Okay this is weird okay we get rid of one starter Pokemon get another one get rid of the other starter Pokemon get another one and they're all water types so we start with Ferala Gator we're ending up with Green Inja I'm super happy Green Inja fits in perfectly with that hyper-offensiveness that we've got with the team as I was saying yesterday it's probably one of the more hyper-offensive teams that I've played in a long time so heading over to the team we can take a quick look at it it's always the team is down in the description below there is a raw pairs poker base check out the details of the team if you'd like to I've went for a life orb on the Green Inja and just to give it that a bit of extra power you've got the gunk shot there that we can potentially one shot Zernia so that's a really nice tech ice beam can potentially one shot requires as long as it's not holding the assault vest and we've changed up the zygarde as well we've went with a choice scarf there I think that it speeds amazing but it is just lacking the jump on some of the more threatening pokemon in the format so things like scarf tapulele tapu koko mega gengar etc that do threaten this team quite heavily so I think just for this episode alone we're going to give that a try Zygarde 10% is very cool so I'm super happy to go ahead with this haven't changed anything else up in the team but we've got one more button to activate so remember that we will probably activate that tomorrow that is a patreon button so let's see what we can switch up tomorrow and but we're right here right now music is on ready to go let's get into this first one today excited about using Green Inja though it's gonna be good this team is ridiculously hyper offensive we need to be very careful around potential trickering teams that could be very awkward for us so let's head over into our screen oh man the green screen it's just not working is it um league title defense for us to kick off today it'll be a good one and hopefully it doesn't take too long to find our first opponent um like I say we're on three wins four losses so a couple of wins today would put us positive and then put us in a really good position to finish up the week tomorrow we finished positive with last week's team so I want to keep that trend going this week come on guys let's get some enthusiasm some I don't know what the word is I don't know what the word is but we just need some confidence team I just feel like it's gonna be good we can do it we can do we just got to believe and the guiratina I think out of everything on the team this week has been probably the star of the show for me so far I mean I've been loving Infernape as well mega galead it's the one Pokemon I'm a bit sad about you know it's been performing uh really wiffy and I just don't know whether it's just the team concept it probably is if it was in another team where it was built up around I think it'd perform a lot better but it's that speed stat isn't it that one 10 it's really tricky the things that it does really want to be hitting it's not quite out speeding and everything below that it's just not hitting hard enough for a mega pokemon it's uh it's good but it's just probably not in a restricted format but um we'll see maybe that is the pokemon that we switch up tomorrow it looks like it's gonna take a little bit longer to find our first opponent than we would have liked to so I'm just gonna cut it here guys and we'll be right back when we find our first opponent we've got our first opponent of the episode we've got an opponent from Italy so let's hop straight into team preview they're on a 14.97 rating so a little bit higher than ourselves let's hopefully we can steal some points but we've got a team consisting of Zernius, Rikwaza, Incineroar, Tapu Fini, Amungus and Nyligo so a team concept that was made very popular by Paddo winning the very first international championships in the ultra series this season a very strong x-ray team you've got the tapu fini there with the speed control help the nyligo there that does do a lot of work against things that give this team trouble you've got the fake out support from the incineroar with the intimidate there to support the Zernius and other members of the team and then the redirection from the Amungus so I think tapu koko going to be very important here for us um in fernip as well with its ability to taunt things is going to be useful so we can I think the fake out the fast fake out's nice as well to bring up front I'm kind of tempted to bring zygarde but at the same time it is a little bit risky isn't it um do we bring tapu koko or do we leave it for late game I think the late game might be better um let's bring we could bring glade to this one to be honest it doesn't do too bad against the majority of things on this team I'm going to actually bring greninja tapu koko and I think let's go giratina as our last one it's a bit bulkier than a lot of the other pokemon on the team and you can probably stand up to a lot more so let's see how we get on it's not an easy match it's not an easy match at all um I think we play this team or a very similar team to this at the start of the week and we had dalgar in the team which made it extremely easy now taking dalgar out it makes it a little bit more difficult so let's see my hair fever I know I keep talking about this over and over again but man last night and today I am like I've been like I feel like someone's been rubbing flowers in my face in my sleep it's so bad I hope for those of you out there that that suffer that aren't I'm feeling too bad about it um today anyway if I can make sense okay so we see tapu finny and zonius come out onto the field um I think do we fake out yeah we'll fake out zonius we don't know allow it to get the um gmz set up and we're going to shot into the finny I'm thinking the finny probably switches to doesn't okay that's interesting um we're probably gonna see an icy wind though from the finny which makes a lot of sense doesn't it um but we'll get the gunshot into the finny I wonder if this can pick up the knockout I doubt it will because finny's just so bulky wow so so close so close um okay there we go uh probably see an icy wind yeah that makes a lot of sense um I mean we can double up into the um the zonius this next turn if we would like to if it goes for the gmz um I think I'm gonna have to go for I'm gonna actually lock into uncle in case it does go for that and I'm gonna go for the gunshot I can see the tapu finny switching out here uh actually we're not gonna oh we do see the geomancy um but because we've got the uncle we can uncle lock this zonius in and then it gives grinninger a bit more time to try and get and these gunshots going annoying it's one of those moves though isn't it where you kind of take the risk the uncle doesn't miss the infinite coming through okay so that's that's good for us uh light screen that's fine um I would definitely say we see the the incineral come in this next turn um so I could potentially plus combat the finny expecting that and gunshot the zonius once again so we'll do that because we can get two gunshots off onto it it should be enough to pick up the knockout and I think oh zonius actually switches out requires a coming in huh didn't expect to see that and we're close combatting into a tapu finny ideal gunshot is the most wiffiest move ever we could have had this finny by now i'm gonna probably see another icy wind here I reckon oh just a scald okay and it does take our infernet damage is a little bit of a shame dang um I guess we've got to bring in I don't really want to bring in tapu cock because I feel like this requires a definitely is a soul fest so we'll bring in guiratina it's a little bit of a better option um maybe switch grinninger out to tapu cock or here um and go for a till wind I think yeah probably keeping grinninger around till later is probably a better idea anywhere knowing that the zonius is lurking in the back but it does become a lot more difficult now um all these gunshot misses haven't helped at all really have they you know we've been a bit unfortunate with those grinninger need to get some glasses for you so we'll reset that speed droplet we've taken from the icy wind we'll get cocoa onto the field I can't see an earth power coming into that slot although being a poison type we might see it from the ray I guess it's hope not he's losing cocoa now would be disastrous for us it's like a one way to at least hit this requires a decent damage oh crunch okay I mean we take that pretty comfortably and we did get the tail wind up as well which is nice um and there's the icy wind that kind of I expected why I went for the tail wind there um we can double in to the requiser now um do we bring a grinninger now it's just if we bring a grinninger um thing is that we're definitely going to see an earth power I think from the requiser we could take this opportunity to go for a shadow ball into the ray um or we could just actually switch into grinninger I think switching into grinninger is probably better and just protecting cocoa and then we're in a nice position the next turn to actually take this requiser down um between cocoa and in grinninger an ice beam and gigavolt should be enough to do the work as the dragon has sent cost into grinninger that's not ideal at all that's really not ideal but I would have expected you to target the cocoa but never mind um let's bring a guiratina and see what we can do I really need to get rid of the finny that's the thing um but I also need to get rid of the ray and I'm gonna have to hope that a wild charge gigavolt and a shadow ball is enough to get the ray after the dragon has sent boost so here we go there's the deal he's gunshot at the start I mean you've got to think that the zernius would have been gone by now if the gunshot said it hit it depends on the bulk of the zernius of course as well um but like I say we can't do all that too much it's just one of those things let's see the damages okay come on shadow ball please be enough behind the light screen I don't know if it's gonna be it's enough you still got to deal with the blinking um zernius we could do that I see we'll miss you yeah because the zernius comes in now and it's in a pretty nice position to just clean up really for what we've got in front of us and it's having finished such a good disruptive pokemon supporting pokemon we can't really put all that eggs in one basket when his zernius comes onto the field it's still full health this is what I mean if the you know if even one gunshot hit probably would be in thunderbolt range now where it's not um is that tailwind still up I don't know if it is uh yeah we got one one last turn of it um okay now we could predict that the zernius does protect and go for a thunderbolt into the finny rather than putting all that eggs in one basket I feel like the match is pretty much done now um but let's get rid of the finny here I'm gonna get a shadow ball into the zernius but it's likely after the icy winds if you've had it you'll outspeed guiratina anyway oh no you still outspeed it can we get a special defense drop oh it just goes for a moonblast where we going into the coco can we take nah no it's done it's done and our tailwind piters out and that is the end of that so um the story of that match is a gunshot is is a great move but at the same time it's a terrible move um we can go for another shadow ball to see if we can pick up a knockout but we're gonna get moonblasted before we can do anything and even if not then the incinerators in a great position to pick up the knockout so poor guiratina last pokemon standing just can't do the business here grinninger letting us down the newest member to the team come on grinninger disappointing disappointing so it takes a tally two three wins five losses we still got time we still got time to come back tie this up finish positive um we could maybe squeeze and well we can still do it to be honest if we win out the rest of this week and i'm concentrating on results rather than the actual matches right now and that's not something you should normally do you should normally concentrate on what's in front of you rather than the um rather than this damn green screen why is it doing this today it's really annoying i feel like i'm way further closer to the camera as well i'm like hey hey how you doing but yeah um we can still do it we should just not concentrate on the actual end result and concentrate on each game that we've got coming to us so that's the big thing um let's pick some mad music today let's go wild pokemon version one my hay fever anyone out there that suffers from hay fever i do my heart goes out to you it's a horrible thing to have um i can't imagine what it would be like not suffering it's like a seasonal thing comes every single year soon as this nice hot weather and i love the sun i am definitely a sun baby um but the consequence of that is you can't release it outside for too long and it's always a risk going outside because then your eyes got and your nose goes it's just rubbish and you know i've not got anyone else to blame i refuse to take um hay fever tablets because i'm just i'm just it's morally i don't believe in it so i should i normally get local honey that i take and that's supposedly helped but i haven't done it yet so maybe that's why i'm like this but we've got our next opponent so let's get straight into this next one we've got duskman nakrosma tornadoes we're out on type of finny cangascon and incident i really love the the concept of this team i really do i think it's really nicely put together team so hopefully we can give it a good match you've got the uh probably going to be altering across my tailwind support from the tornado this torn support there as well the ground on um going to be something that will take advantage of the tailwind for sure got the type of finny for terrain control protect against those status attacks obviously offer a little bit more speed control probably with icy wind and nature's madness haze um and maybe heal pulse uh who knows what else it's got on there light screen potentially as well and then the two support pokemon in mega cangascon both holding fake out and the incineral with the intimidate so um right giratina gonna be very good here i do do like giratina i'm gonna bring giratina actually i'm gonna bring in fernip in fernip another pokemon gonna be very good here um type of coco going to be good against the alternate cross mat and that tornadoes and type of finny so we do want that and then maybe zygod could be good with the scarf to come in late game and really cause some havoc so i yeah i'm pretty happy with these let's kick into it and we're gonna we're gonna get a win we are gonna win i feel like this matchup is good um we just need to make sure that we concentrate on the game taking opportunities when we can and i think we can pull it back to one lost deficit which we're two at the minute but it's fine it's all about having fun and we're playing these crazy teams so i just feel like i need to be doing better this is the whole concept like i love this series but i feel like personally i'm i'm letting the series down i need to be doing better and i don't know if it's just something i don't know whether it's um it's true or not i don't i'm not too sure do we go for a tailwind here i'm kind of scared of it maybe a sneaky trick room from this necrosma definitely could be we'll go for a shadow bolt into the necrosma get some damage off there and go for a fake out into the incinero just to prevent that from faking us out incinero gonna switch out expecting the fake out because we're so predictable man and this lovely shiny tappy finny hitting the field now activating that misty surge let's see what this necrosma does get some chip damage onto the finny there and get a tasty shadow ball i think we're gonna see a trick room which do you mind probably not not so much um nah uh we'll go for another shadow ball into the necrosma um do we switch things up now i don't know i don't know if we do to be honest i could just lock tappy finny into something uh with an encore because in finnip's gonna go last i don't think we'll get taken down here we shouldn't we might get photographed guys that i'm gonna see heal plus that's fine i mean stop and tappy finny doing anything else it's a bit annoying because it is just gonna constantly ooh gravity oh if we'd only on cord then that's gonna cross my setting up the field for this ground on to come in for sure uh we'll get another shadow ball off but we're stalling out these these trick room turns which is the main thing so um we are gonna be able to get the encore into the tappy finny which is very nice uh we're locking into that heal pulse again can be good so it's not really gonna be able to do very much other than that and we can go for another actually you know what i predict that maybe we see the ground on coming so i'm gonna go uh overheat and i'm gonna go earth part into the plasma here dang and blast okay that's fine though uh we should be able to remove the inner cross from the field we're gonna see a photon guys that's probably into in finnip imagine yeah we'll take us down to our sash but the fire monkey it's not giving up got that blaze ability activated now we'll see an earth part here get that chip set it up for another heat and it will definitely be enough from this range even without the sun this thing is going to be burning up the necrosis goes down and we've wasted a nice amount of these trick room turns as well by doing this so next turn we might have to sacrifice this infernip um but if we can time it right we can potentially get zygoting when the trick room ends and that'll be ideal so how many turns we've got left maybe two so i don't know whether it's worth going for yeah two turns going for the earth part now because the heal pulse um we could go for another overheat into groudon we're gonna lose in finnip regardless whatever here type of thing you're gonna switch out oh you're gonna see in cinema hit the field that's fine um just means we might need to bring cocoa in rather than um in zygote because i feel like zygote's gonna be the one thing at the end it can probably win this game for a smith this this no no miss and finnip's done a good job good job here though good job good job um do we bring in zygote now because if you're like the thing is you could double into the guiratina predicting your protect on the cocoa and cocoa's gonna be something really useful to have in an end game situation where um that's kind of difficult where the finnys when the groudon's gone um let's go four thousand thousand arrows and an earth power throw chop okay it does so much damage the precipice blades zygote should take this the gravity i forgot about now we're knackered we are knackered ah fool and i thought zygote would take that to be honest that is zygote 10 form it's like the worst zygote form super fast but trick room i've said it all along this team ah man we're in a deficit now this is not so good um right trick room is ended let's see if we can pick up a a knockout into this incinero or the gigavolt the groudon's sitting like yeah just hit the button now let's do that okay very good game to my opponent unfortunately my friends let us down again let us down again once again let let ah it's just been two difficult matches today i feel um nice that we get the incinero there's a little consolation there um precipice blades are gonna connect and cocoa stands no chance yeah ah we just need to get through that one more turn of trick room and i'm thinking we mean better bringing in cocoa protecting yeah we definitely would have because well the thing is like even if we get zygote in on the field when the trick rooms ended i don't think a thousand hours is gonna be enough to pick up a knockout onto the groudon anyway so we couldn't have taken one precipice blade with zygote that's maybe a calc we need to look at um especially without the band we're not going to be doing it zygote's just wiffy isn't it so that's that's the big big story here i've had a lot of fun now and i hope you guys have leave your comments down below let me know what your thoughts are on today's episode the change up and we've got one more button that we can activate which we're gonna do tomorrow it is going to be that patreon button so make sure you don't miss that episode hopefully we can include something that gives us just the glue that pulls everything together and makes this a massively solid unit going forward so i'm going to end it here guys have a great rest of your day as i said thank you so much for tuning in i'll see you for the next one so until then take care and bye bye
