 Hey everyone and welcome back to another episode of a Pokemon VGC 2019 battle series I hope you're all well having a great day as we kicked off this week in our last episode with a reindeer kaiyoga team reindeer kaiyoga reindeer has got kaiyoga in reindeer tornadoes mega swamp her team if you missed yesterday's episode And you'd like to go back and check that out before coming in today's one as always click up there And I will link a card for you in the description and I'm just Saving a game right now because I'm doing two episodes back-to-back pre-recording and like I said in yesterday's episode One of the things I wanted to do going forward was Just skip screen there just to make sure I've got that gonna have the rating on was to ask you guys What you want to see finished off how what you want to see introduced to this reindeer team before we finish it off for The rest of the week so that's what I'm doing I'm gonna play this yesterday today and then tomorrow going to make some big changes depending on what you guys would like to see so Leave your comments down below as always the team is down in the description below There's a raw paste poker paste go ahead try it out and it's always if you enjoy this content guys Please make sure to leave a like on the video do subscribe for the channel for more Pokemon content And I've already mentioned the the comments all all all the stuff we have our first opponent now So we need to hop into that team preview screen once again All right, what we looking at zernius tapu lele lunala Lucario incinero and a moongus that is a QR code team So if I'd been doing my homework, I would know all about this team But sadly I've not been swatting up enough on the global links I do not know but we can make some educated guesses. You've got the tapu lele there That's gonna be the support for setting the zernius to get around that fake out support there That normally shuts it down You've got to follow me support from Lucario It could potentially and probably is the mega of the team as well. So is potentially quite threatening There's no weather on my opponents team, which is quite interesting And you've got the incinero there with intimidating support fake out support the moongus can be the team's trick room check of course Probably tail in more than anything else that imagine the lunala has got the side cup as well Which is something that we'll need to watch out for I really want to lead Kyogre Swampert. I really do. I Just see the lele coming out I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it to kick us kick us off today I am gonna bring ferrithorn and do a brain tornadoes. I was on yes I think it's only us. Let's go zernius And kick in and get back to with it like I said in yesterday's episode obviously I'm pre-recording two episodes I don't know what like I don't know what happened to this today. I even lifted out how I was like I'll just wear hat. I'll cover it up, but I think I look just as bad in a hat Then I do with my hair. It's like okay. What's going on? I mean that is just that is just terrible, but anyway besides appointment playing Pokemon one after year We're not a hair salon Unfortunately as much as I would love to be not really, but I mean kind of cool Okay, Lucario and lunala You guys are sitting watching this probably thinking what is this guy talking about? I thought this is like Pokemon competitive Pokemon stuff talk about a hair Right well, we will we will be a bit more serious now So we're gonna see Lucario gonna see lunala come in nice thing is we've got potential to just drop Mega evolve an earthquake if we want to I mean I kind of want to do that to be honest But earthquake King is a little bit of a problem Because we're gonna be Huh, I mean one of the things we could potentially do is just origin pulse and mega evolve and Protect swampert the only problem is I would see here doing that would be my opponent going tailwind with lunala Which would put us in the worst position going into the next turn It's just I want to chip the shadow shield before I attack it I feel like Lucario probably switches out. I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna just protect swampert here It's just I feel like lunala wants to potentially Z move into that swampert slot. That's what I already imagine I'm a bit surprised the Lucario stays on the field None of the earthquake could potentially come out and do some bigger damage to it But now we got a frog man. I just hope we're not giving my opponent the opportunity to Set some sort of speed controller. We've seen the Lucario protect potentially all with the tailwind here. Yeah Okay, okay, okay Origin pulse, I mean we'll break the the the Shield on you can wash about it there as well a little bit of nighting, but it's still all right. You can origin pulse again now So shame we don't have incinerator cuz like the incinerator here would be Incredible for us. We don't really have an easy controller. So It's just you probably do close combat into Swampert you definitely Z move into swampert. I think 100% like I don't want to lose swampert. That's the thing. I'm gonna just bring in ferrathorn It should take a hit might even take the Z move if we see it come out from lunala Bad selection and and either the thing is though I say bad selection you won't incinerate against lunala for sure But Lucario covers it so well with that fighting type offensive like that It's got you know, you don't want to leave incinero in front of Lucario mega Lucario, especially Don't stand any chance. Okay, it's into Kyoga. I kind of Maybe prefer that special defense if we can get an origin pulse off that's huge now Here's the Z move and this is why I think you're probably going into that lunala slot It's not ideal because if we do lose ferrathorn here, come on ferrathorn Take it take it like a man. You take it. She's so good ferrathorn Get all that health back like nothing happened origin pulse I mean I kind of for I don't prefer missing either Liked it to have hit both targets to be honest, but What can you do? Zernia's gonna make its way onto the field now for sure Kind of need Kyoga as well for make a swamp at a late game This even is gone on lunala though. So that's that's a one thing that we've got going first at the moment Let's see what my opponent brings. They might not bought the Zernia if it surprised me if they haven't now Among us. Okay. Hmm. I really don't mind this at all Okay, do we just protect Kyoga just kind of hmm? I could bring in Zernia's here She says not really doing too much once we bring it in like a mungus is gonna be a pain to deal with in general We need to chip it down. I just feel like the lunala Well, the lunala probably attacks. Yeah, we can't we can't afford to lose that switch in I'm not gonna be able to lock anything in with ferrathorn, but I Might just lead seeded into a mungus, but I think I might have timed out as well too much faffing round I'm hoping that we timed out. Let me just get the protect that will be ideal You know, I'll protect that's all right We're not wasting any We protect that's fine protecting on our protect. I'm gonna say grass not. Yeah Great, just also all right and because we can protect this turn And it gonna lead seed into lunala like we planned to do from the start and then that'll be the tail wind gone I wonder if the mungus has got clear smog Seven got sprawl But ferrathorn's in a decent place now like it's not Overly threatened lunala's mungus beam is gonna do a decent amount, but if we can get a lead seed off It's not so bad. It's not so bad We see please hit ferrathorn so good so reliable Now do you switch out? Do you switch the lunala out though? That's the question here I mean, I don't mind if you do. I think we just protect anyway because If you switch the lunala out Ferrathorn's still not yeah, I mean we could have went gyro ball there, but and if mungus puts our zonius to sleep this is fine because Zonius doesn't like like the mungus has put no pressure at all onto our ferrathorn And if you want to get lunala back in you've got to switch back in that just turns of us like Like burning through these sleep turns to be honest and once we have like an end game Where it's a mungus and versus everything else, then it's gonna be fine, isn't it? So I think we just use these turns to try and get a gym ansi up if we get a quick wake up We're obviously not gonna wake up this turn Do we need to see though like there's a part of me that wants to leech seed the mungus like really Because I feel like the lunala comes in on that slot and the zonius protects Should we be like soup ball Z and call it because that would pull us right, but I'm gonna do it I'm gonna do and predict the mungus which is out as it's useless right now. You think let's get the lunala in on that slot You're not gonna gyro ball that slot only seed that slot But we are gonna because I feel like the zonius my point zonius protects here And then the lunala Okay, we get we guess it wrong we guess it wrong. That's fine now. It would have been cool if it came off though, right? Okay, there's a grass not Zones I thought the protectors too obviously now the problem is we are in a mungus beam rage for sure This mungus is so tricky without anything to really deal with it, which is not the best for us at all Um, so we just moonblast I do we geomancy I think we just moonblast the lunala And just protect farathorn There's a mungus beam. Hopefully we wake up with zonius Ah, come on wake up. We need you to wake up zern I don't know if we're going to be able to get around this now really um We might have to I can't afford to sack anything in the back. I mean we could bring in swamper there You'll probably take a mungus beam for sure if zonius goes down we get the chai auger in then we can double enter the mungus And we still preserve farathorn. It's one way for us to get around this potentially Oh, how much are you gonna take from this good old swampy? Uh, not too bad zonius wakes up if we get the lunala here with the moonblast. That's huge for us Can we though can we can we? It's fine though because we get we now get we now get the chai auger And the lunala's got to feel super threatened, but all we need to do is get rid of well No, we don't want to bring in we don't want to bring in um We do need to get rid of the lunala, but the lunala's got to feel Pretty threatened right now I mean Ice punch origin pulse will that get a mungus? I really don't think it will That's why I want to go ice beam ice punch into that slot a mungus hasn't Hmm Just the lunala gets a free hit then and once you take down the chai auger Uh, I mean as long as we get as long as you get the mungus Here then it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because then we've got farathorn And we might still be able to do it. I don't know It's just a farathorn on such low health now. The lunala's got to feel so threatened though That's the thing. I feel like if I'm lunala right now. I want to preserve myself utilize the mungus And we should be able to get the mungus Ice punch better being Better boom. There we go. Bye. Bye mungus Who needs a flying type or fire type psychic type when you've got The big frog and the big whale On the field in the rain loving life having the best time ever um I wonder for an earthquake It probably doesn't an earthquake probably doesn't get it. We just need to get the lunala We don't need to get ahead of ourselves at all. We've got origin pulse I just I don't want to allow the zonius to get set up with a geomancy because that could be tricky for us because Everything's in very low range from moonblast moonblasty things Um, hmm Do I earthquake? I don't earthquake. I definitely don't earthquake I kind of want to waterfall the zonius and go ice beam. I'm gonna ice beam the lunala Now What do I do? What do I do? I'm gonna waterfall the zonius. I'm gonna waterfall the zonius. I'm gonna do it I feel like we could throw here Lunala come for the double protect. Okay, we make the better decision in the end It could have been the wrong decision But we get the zonius with the waterfall swamp it the boy that it is doing all the work and the ice beam there Into the lunala and we pick up another nice victory with this team, which is super good for us And we'll go Into our next one and you know what guys, I haven't had any music on this whole time I can't believe it. I can't believe it. So rush going into this one. I didn't have any music on So we'll have an overlay. We'll have music for the rest of the episode. Obviously Apologies about that And we'll come back into this screen so we can have a look what our rating is But yeah, what I was gonna say is if you guys want to see me just play out the rest of this week with this team Let me know if the if the majority of you want to see more mega swamper Then we can do that. We can do that for the rest of the week for sure I think it's got a lot of potential. It's been a bunch of fun to play so far So if you'd like to see more mega swamper, of course We will play my mega swamper and we will do that for the rest of the week. So Definitely definitely that is an option as well But if there's other abilities you want to see go forward, let me know Got our next opponent probably our last one of the episode today, but we'll jump straight into team preview Can click around quickly enough. So we've got our next opponent and tornado. It's landers We've got Rayquaza Tabacoco, pherothone and Kyoga, so we've got that ray ogre combination there you got tailwind support from the tornado You've got a tear trick room Check almost in that pherothone got the fast offensive tabacoco here that could cause us a few issues And then you've got landers theory, which is going to provide Intimidated support. It's probably got the z move if something like tabacoco hasn't but there's quite a few options for a z move here You've got tabacoco landers tornadoes even and I'd even say the pherothone there Right, okay, what do we got to do against this team? Hmm, I mean really Really what is stopping us going incinero or zernius here in certain ageomancy up Um I think that's not bad. I do want to bring swampert Um, do I want to bring kyoga or do I want to bring pherothone? Like pherothone's pretty nice here, but I think I'm gonna go kyoga And then rely heavily on incinero to deal with that pherothone Hmm Let's just do it. This might be the last time we play this team. I'm gonna just lock in with these four I want to bring these four. We're gonna have a bit of fun and I think they can do a job. So There we are I think the pherothone's gonna be very tricky But if we can get ourselves into a position where we've got water spa We've got gmancy potentially up then I mean pherothone them doesn't become really that much of an issue, does it? So tap cocoa and tornadoes the question will be is does the The type of cocoa have taunt That's a big question Because if it does it shuts us down completely, but if it doesn't Then we're all right and I'd probably say It maybe doesn't because The tornadoes definitely has taunt um The question is though does the the cocoa have the electrum z which would be something I would definitely think it has I really want to stop the tailwind though and zernius is going to be able to take A gig of old havoc from cocoa even in terrain. So we'll just gmancy anyway We'll see if we can get it off fake out No, it had it the one thing that we thought we could do with Ah, okay fair play tap a cocoa. Well played my friend. Um Do we z move right now? I mean I kind of would prefer to adjust my board position. Maybe a little bit. Um tornadoes is definitely going to tailwind for sure. It'd be nice to be able to get rid of it but For the fact that they might have pherothone I do want to preserve Incinero, so I'm just going to go for the u-turn into tornadoes and Just going to do a dazzle. I feel like the tornadoes is Uh, there's only this is a big target here for that type of cocoa So I'm going to switch in Swampert hope that you go for a wall switch onto that slot even better would be that that gig of old havoc Let's tailwind We're going to see cocoa do come on cocoa There we are. Come on. Yep. There it is I get way too much invested in these sort of things Come on. Ah, sorry Swampert eats that up lovely great great stuff great stuff here. Um What we'll do bring in Zurnius I don't want to bring the rain just yet because I don't want to give my opponent the opportunity to Get a free hurricane into a swampert slot So hmm Again, I feel like earthquakeing is very difficult for us um I don't think we GM antsy though. That's for sure. I think We probably just go moonblast into cocoa and Do we mega revolve an ice punch? The tornadoes. I think that might be quite nice. I'd probably imagine the cocoa to okay Maybe wall switch. That's what I was thinking But we're just going to see the kyleger come in. I wonder if the cocoa's got thunder Ice punch is doing jack to this the kyleger though It's why earthquakeing would have been way better I mean if we just protected zurnius That would have been the better play to be honest protected Mega evolved earthquake bye-bye cocoa no option to escape Gone for the taunt again, which I kind of don't mind to be honest Really like it really don't mind. This is a bit annoying from us. Let's look at the freeze Okay, but we're gonna get the moonblast it's into cocoa. So we'll get some nice damage off there And special attack drop, which is good Uh We've got to stall out this tailwind for sure. Hmm. Do we just moonblast the kyle- like Zurnius we need to switch it out. We cannot protect I mean we could go on to cargo, but then we lose our own cargo, which is never gonna be good, but um We could just attack like are we gonna need this for later on or do we need the other? Hmm. Yeah, I think we'll stay in with zurnius. We'll try and get a moonblast Actually, we'll try and get a dazzle on to cargo And pick up the knockout onto that type of cocoa and we'll just protect one put this turn kind of hoping I don't know. We'll probably see uh thunder. Okay. Yeah, this plus Water spout will be more than enough to get the zurnius. Yeah, and then we get paralyzed boot, but Ooh, Origin Posit could miss, could miss Doesn't miss I don't think we take this so we are pretty bulky, but Ah, we do doesn't gleam. Ah, zurnius still. I mean paralyzed now. It's It's not the best And I would have preferred zurnius to go down there to be honest. So we get the free switch into incinero So we've got that fake out support because now it makes it a little bit awkward I mean the the electric threat is gone from the field. So we do have a switch into Um Kyogre if you want to Yeah, this is this is this is difficult. Um I think we'll moonblast Kyogre So what's my opponent got? They've probably got farathorn, right? I'm gonna say they've got farathorn. I'll bring in Kyogre We'll probably take a hurricane and an origin pulse into the swampert slot though But Kyogre should take it It's just trying to get around these tailwind turns It's gonna be hard to kind of deny another tailwind really with the tornadoes Yeah, there's a hurricane and it gets the confusion And origin pulse not missing man, okay Confusion is not so great there for us at all. Hmm. There's a tailwind pittering out Which is good. Um The kyogre's really going to be difficult to deal with To take down. I mean we can get rid of the tornadoes for sure Yeah, we'll go ice punch into that slot and Yeah, I mean we we have to try and get some damage onto the kyogre with origin pulse Maybe it puts it in range for an earthquake, but the kyogre protect is going to try and get the tailwind setup So that's nice. I mean if we don't take any damage here with This swampert we don't necessarily need to And we could potentially get an earthquake if it is ferrathorn we get an earthquake off We could potentially close this game out but stop No Bad kyogre bad kyogre. We need to be not confused and actually damage things come on be ferrathorn Because I think we can that's a requirement. Okay Hmm I still think we could actually probably do this, you know, um It might mean sacking incineroar this next turn but actually Actually not. Okay Let's protect swampert. Let's switch in incineroar Now I think because the rain's not up an origin pulse would probably take with incineroar And if the requires a mega revolves, then that's fine You get the intimidate onto the requiser, which is a big thing If it does mega revolve it means that we are going to be able to get a kyogre back in and get the rain up Which does make swampert a bit more of a threat against the requiser on forge Sure It's still going to be a bit of a threat and it could sword stance here Which would be not ideal for us, but I don't think you do I think you've got to attack the kyogre here to try and get around that The threat of the ice beam because you can't take it down reliably with your own kyogre So you've got to be thinking about that. I feel at least Okay, so swampert going to protect. Let's see what my opponent goes for dragon ascent into this auger slot Yeah Now if incineroar can take this turn come through this turn That's huge risk because we get the fake ad support, which is massive I just don't think you're taking origin pulse from here Listen, this is This kyogre's got like extra like just super super vision. It's never gonna miss Um, but we do We do get A kyogre back in Now, I don't think we're going to be able to take down the opposing kyogre with an earthquake unfortunately Depending on its speed. I don't know if we outspeed it depending on how slow it is But we know the requisers lie fault. So what we could potentially do is Ice beam it here And we could Don't know if we double it Does the requiser protect here? I don't think it does. I think it attacks kyogre So we could potentially go earthquake. Are we just ice punch actually? Yeah, let's ice punch the requiser Let's protect Just whether or not you double the swampert here Yeah, you're doubling in the swampert. It's whether or not we outspeed the kyogre now We outspeed we'll get it But I mean the origin pulse hits here We probably go down to it, which is a little bit of a shame Crit didn't matter Crit don't matter. Okay, it's cold. Okay Now we don't take that. I'm looking at it like can we take it? No way. No way we take that Uh, all right one turn it till one left Hmm it's got origin pulse I don't know I don't know I don't know Oh, I don't think we can do this gold as long as we don't get burned. We've got it. We've got to wait Now then We hit that there Ah origin pulse doing origin pulse Shenanigans. Uh, we wouldn't it doesn't matter. We wouldn't about speed it anyway So very good again to my opponent um Yeah Hmm just trying to think if there's a way for us to get around that one. It was a tough one I think maybe selection wise we could have brought some different stuff I'll have to have a look back at that. I can't remember off the top of my brain right now But we will end things up there very good game to my opponent and guys. Thank you so much for tuning in I hope you've enjoyed today's episode. It's been a bunch of fun Um, and the team's still doing well. So as I've said the last couple of days today yesterday Um, let me know in the comment section what you'd like to see going into tomorrow's episode And I'll make sure that we see whatever comes out on top from all of you. So Thank you again. Have a great day. Make sure you're taking care of yourselves Whatever you're up to and we'll see you in the next one guys. So until then take care and bye. Bye
