"Worried about Alex Ogloza?" Pokémon Sword & Shield VGC 2020 Baek to Baek Battles - Episode 29

Please James try some crazy unexpected strategies in competitive matches!

Ice punch frozen

GG

Freeze turn 1 is the ultimate counterplay

I wanted to see the Claydol in action!!

Silv-ALLY? I had no idea that's how you pronounced it lol
As for content, just for the giggles I'd love watching you shiny hunt on a stream (once will be enough ofc). For the channel, what about battling against mirror teams only? It could be a once a week thing against another VGC player and so on
Also, I loved the idea of Baek to basics

I reminded the part where you started laughing after the forfeit so many times! HILERIOUS

QOTD: Maybe some YT lives/Twitch stream in which you build a team based on our inputs? I mean not in the "oh let's make a pyukumuku team for fun" sense, but in a "oh this strategy/mon is valid, let's build around it" sense!

I messaged the team maker btw and he has fixed the excadrill so it is lv10 dynamax now. And weakness policy IS good on it. You just only bring excadrill in instances where you lead it with whimsicott and dynamax it. It is a counter to dragapult, is good vs grimmsnarl leads and hard counters duraludon (who you SD turn 1 vs). Managed to get top 100 with this team earlier today.




Lead darm can be nice vs potential beat up lucario. A nice calc is that darm's superpower will 1HK0 dynamax lucario 100% of the time. Good to know because they often run the occa berry to resist your flare blitz.


You should always pretty much dynamax either excadrill (turn 1) or silvally. With dracovish in some very rare circumstances.

I'd like to see some teambuilding video. You can build around some Gigamax allowed, not usual pokemons, themes teams...

<3

may i ask whether you can post a pokepaste of this team u are using please? i can't read japanese of the team report :(

omg, the cheesy flavor is overwhelming hahahaha
nice battles, though xD

Doesn't really take alot for japanese players to cancel a match but that was priceless

Started using a rental team today and only now realized it was this one! Super fun team!

I was actually watching Alex stream when you matched against him! he shouted you out too. It was fun to watch it from your side this time. Always love your videos, looking forward to Baek to Basics!

So I’m a Spanish speaking player and I really like Sekiam’s team reports where he includes a brief overview of his major tournament he wins and his matches (he calls it a “war story”). Besides that collabs would be really cool!

freeze into forfeit true combo

Kinda wish dynamax level capped at 1.5 and wasn't 2x

Glad you won that game, but freeze should seriously be removed from competitive play

lol instant forfeit, i respect that

I would like to see some collabs with you and other VGC players and/or maybe some some casuals, I dont know.

QOTD : Baek to Baek forever

Is that sylvally timid max speed max sp attck?

Please show VGC teams for G-Max mons! Just subbed! Love your stuff.

James PLEASEEE can you showcase Cursola!! that pokemon is so sexy can it be viable?

lol! "ally switch garbage don't use it"

Miss ole Alex OG
