The plus 4 Dragonite doing that little damage was a spectacle to see. Espeon put in that good work gg Emvee great match

[@LordEmvee]

appreciate you goat :) that little damage to Espeon was mind blowing LOL

[@TipOfTheSauce]

Delphox: 114 special attack, 104 speed, meh abilities… can’t tera Espeon: 130 special attack, 110 speed, really good ability… can tera Seems legit In all seriousness, I’m just so happy to see my draft mascot putting in work :)

[@ShycoWar]

To be fair, while I'm no expert, I want to say that Delphox has far more flexible options than Jolteon, who kinda needs Tera to be a truly effective one-trick pony these days :V EDIT: Literally just noticed I had the wrong Eeveelution. Ah well, point still stands 😂

[@SantosOverlord]

the fox has a much stronger type, with very strong fire moves that would get 3 stab moves

[@castello_1243]

You got a point still, I personally think some of the eeveelutions should be banned next draft (or at least Esp + Jolt). Their stats and moves are just too good, with Espeon being a good utility mon even without Tera via Magic Bounce.

[@TipOfTheSauce]

@@ShycoWarI just think that the slightly higher stats, better ability, and access to recovery makes Espeon just as strong if not stronger than Delphox…

[@phonepup06]

I agree with your points, I think the fact that del also has the fire STAB is a big part of their decision.

[@33niboR]

38:35 … and he Brave Birds, so this shouldn‘t do much, does a lot actually, but not much. ~Emvee

[@DarkTobias7]

Terra fairy draining kiss Espeon was such an insane terra pick. Also, Thwackey grassy surge is amazing for your team and unburden. Good job Emvee!

[@_Podzilla_]

Once again, Viz was able to knock one of our fated champions in this tournament. Emvee struggled hard this challenge, but unfortunately fell to one of the most unforseen sets... Special Annihilape

[@JosephHk743]

The Kee berry got so much mileage on the espeon. You played very well Emvee all the way to end. Thinking a few turns ahead and the mind game plays with your sets goes a long way to set up ideal scenarios.

[@Jefreyds]

32:03 the live Basculin reaction to how much that draining kiss did ⊙.⊙

[@creeperg983]

I can’t believe that Viz managed to para full para all of your mons with Jolteon’s thunderbolt after Bloodluna died to a Tera Blast Ice crit. Nothing you could have done.

[@emmas5376]

Fantastic battle, very well played on both sides! Positively mesmerized by Goob, like, slowly sinking down in the party at 27:48, where is she going.........

[@LordEmvee]

LOL i didn't even notice the sinking how is it doing that 😂

[@StarsongKey]

GG it's Emvee That Dnite Endure Weakness Policy set was so clever, it covers the opponent knowing their item and using the super effective move after breaking Multiscale

[@GymLeaderGeo]

Bro that Espeon set was FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Nicely done dude!! Also, I love that changeup for Tera captains. I think Sableye will bring way more value. Your enemies will actually need to build differently if they want to respect sable eye. Whereas a lot of defensive answers for other moms on your team, will double as answers for sneasle. Not to mention that getting a second Tara Captain just adds another layer of preparation that people will have to make a decision about. Gives you more defensive options, which can be nice sometimes. I love your office, but having Trixie defensive options, can be really helpful. Great move dude.

[@LordEmvee]

Thank you bro :) and really I'm glad you like the changes. Figured the two would bring about more value for the team overall with what they can do. Miss having you in draft btw 🥲 but happy to see a comment from you

[@alterworlds1629]

God damn, that is an INSANE setup I've never seen. What better way to show dominance than styling on your opponents with sets absolutely no one could possibly expect, and they are so strong they can sweep super often. This was a very hard fought match all considering, nice job.

[@LordEmvee]

thanks friend and yea it really pairs well with my style of using sweepers that are unexpected and difficult to deal with :) kinda like the coil dudunsparce from last season

[@alterworlds1629]

@@LordEmvee Had to come back and witness this awesomeness and saw the reply haha. Yeah, the Dudunsparce sweeps were some of my favorite games from ya in recent memory. Such fire plays!

[@KyleAye]

The GOAT going crazy! And Espeon cooks yet again 🐐

[@ButWhoIsJosh]

Not only was it stab but draining kiss was boosted to 60 base power due to the secret Tera mechanic. Evil Emvee prevails

[@unknownguymandude2444]

Emvee didn't get his grassy seed boost last week and now he's drafted thwacky. Coincidence? I think NOT

[@jeremyjacoby4754]

Another great game. Stray thoughts (spoilers): Your opponent's team is super scary, surprised thunderus didn't come when your opponent had corviknight. Weezing's ability and rocky helmet was so nice. The positioning in the beginning was really interesting to see play out --having stealth rock on annihalape was smart as espeon wouldn't want to switch in on it. I love seeing super diverse sets on goodra week in and week out. Viz made a lot of good calls in the first few turns with jolt/annihalape. lmao max spdef rest basculin. Wannabe alomola Annihalape provides a unique role to a team: support/cleaner/breaker/spin&defog blocker all at the same time. Magic Cat!! Bounce counter still at 1. Espeon reversed the game and put you so far ahead. incredible set. The call on the weakness policy dnite was really nice. The endure came out of nowhere tho. Fun set. I was so worried espeon was going to get crit by dnite. +4 dnite did nothing wow. The endgame was a nice clean finish. Glad Goobdra got the final KO. Excited for the new members. I think they will add a lot of value especially with goodra/manaphy

[@viz]

double knight night night

[@LordEmvee]

LOL night night 🌛 pleasure playing vs you my boy 🔥

[@nanashivii9237]

GG. This was a really balanced match, I really enjoy Viz's approach to drafts. Loved the defensive Espeon, really put in work. Also so cool that you picked up Thwackey, seems like an impeccable Tera captain.

[@MohiZidano]

Emvee really liked the Kee Berry Hatterene set from his second channel, that he had to use it on his main channel for the draft

[@Mr_Looc]

I 100% knew we were in for a wild ride when I saw the video length, amazing game by both of y'all❤‍🔥

[@sethpennock2647]

Sableye is the goat, I love using it in national dex OU to mess with people. Great pickup and fantastic game! Ursaluna surviving a crit ice tera blast from Jolteon was fire.

[@johnchristopherguadalupeoc9731]

That fling big nugget crit won you the game man!

[@Omegateck16]

Great battle emvee and I love your trade announcement at the end! I thought you'd go with alolan persian but sabeleye is cool too, haven't really seen a tera sabeleye, excited to see what it does.

[@matlit1859]

The counter team was amazing, but it was the plays that made the endgame a real banger. Go Chimchargers!

[@MRnintendo7]

What an amazing job with Espeon, was on the edge of my seat thinking when the sweep would end, but it kept delivering. This is the inferno I've been talking about, let's go!

[@mikecarmello5891]

Evil Emvee needs to avenge his rival. He needs Joey to survive and grow stronger for a more interesting final battle. That was an awesome game man! You can definitely see the strats in mocks working out :)

[@PierceLavoy]

Eeveelutions are the best! Great game as always Emvee. I hope you win it all

[@heffayguap]

A good rule of thumb I just found: If a crit brings you down to red health from full, it would have been a 2HKO without crits, or at least a possible one depending on rolls. Damage without crit = (75% HP lost with crit) x (2/3 of the crit damage) = 50% HP without crit.

[@LordEmvee]

yeee true good call to remember :) it's indeed a damage roll from full HP though in jolteon's favor

[@cambamslam3510]

Rooting for you bro keep it up!

[@dragontamermeg5311]

Emvee your vids and voice are so lovely! Let’s go blood moon!

[@LordEmvee]

appreciate you :)

[@kevincorso9757]

great game, he started strong but you timed that set up perfectly 👌 also the moves are interesting! sableye is a really interesting choice to me & 2 for 1 seems like a solid deal

[@LordEmvee]

yeee i think both additions provide a lot of cool things the team never had before :)

[@motoyeerma3377]

Really satisfying to see Emvee get his vengeance on Dragonite

[@PapaWesLPs]

GG, that was the best espeon game I’ve ever seen. Truly a goat Tera captain, wouldn’t be surprised if you guys ban it next season lol. Also if you play Viz again, he could bring ability shield annihilape to punish weezing’s defog, might wanna keep that in mind

[@LordEmvee]

ty bro and true gotta watch out for that item :)

[@marquesjohnmullen7046]

Job well done Emvee, u adapted to his predictions well I think and avenged Joey!

[@zekegonzaldi6230]

Spoilers: Holy moly. No clue how you come up with such fire sets. It’s just impressive. Combine that with the way you’re playing so far, I don’t see how you don’t win it all this time. Let’s go Chimchargers!

[@CatherinetheMewsthebestMTB]

I very recently used smack down blood moon to punish a corvi in a your, it's such a funny+good option, cause you can just kinda claim since they probably don't wanna stay in sacking the corv. ALSO. I love Kee berry, I'm so glad it's back. It's one of my favorite items to use in draft, especially using it in a min that isn't that bulky and suddenly the enemy can't break the used to be frail Mon before it sweeps/breaks. I used it pretty often on Oricorio before it got quiver among some other mons. Dragon breath is also a funny+good call (even if it wasn't clicked) since you already have flash cannon as your primary stab and that hits pretty much everything, and getting a para can come in super clutch. Really cool build overall, I vibe with it a ton cause it's exactly my style of build lol Looking forward to the rest of the season (especially to see sableye cause I think it's overlooked this gen especially since it gained screens), keep it up! o7

[@dylanwalker3674]

REally wanted to see that manaphy skill swap tech, but still a heat game

[@duckbud2094]

That was another fantastic showcase of tera fairy espeon yet again and with bloodmoon doing some big damage too. Loved the fire emblem music playing in the bg of the teambulider explanation! It's nice having the option of running misty and grassy surge with sneasler, also can't wait what tera captain sableye can do un future battles!

[@mainlyjm]

Very well played and deserved victory! GG espeon went on a rampage Switching sneasel with Sableye and Thwackey seems like a very good trade! Both bring a lot of utility.

[@bengton]

[@Tarekawas]

ESPEON HYPE!! GG its Emvee!!

[@melikmourali2072]

42:15 No the crit didn't matter, you lost more than 75% HP, with means Tera Blast can deal more than 50% without a crit anyway. That aside, you played this game almost perfectly. Even the Draining Kiss on Dragonite wasn't too big of a mistake. Well played to both of you

[@LordEmvee]

it's a roll based on my ev spread, that was just a higher roll but the chance is there it is slightly in the opponents favor though

[@dalama4506]

Why is take heart banned but not rage fist? Would be cool if someone knew, genuinely curious

[@LordEmvee]

yea i think since in draft you have more control over activating opposing rage fist and coming up with countermeasures, though i must admit rage fist is quite annoying

[@aname4390]

[@ButterflyBlood]

kee berry is so goated. i had it on slurpuff in draft in a similar set once which was one of my most heat ever, next to throat spray heal bell. if game freak didn't kill it, espeon could have ran that too!

[@pokelee]

😭🙏🏼🪦 Aromatherapy

[@LordEmvee]

yea it's super smart on slurpuff with the unburden activation :) could be a neat item on sneasler too potentially with some tricky sets

[@OG-PranksterCat]

The Thwackey pickup is really nice for your squad and makes a lot of sense, not sure how I feel about the Sableye though, at 4 points I think Alolan-Persian would have fit better since it fills the same speed tier you lost with dropping Sneasel, and the Parting Shot support would give your squad some better momentum but I hope Sableye proves me wrong 👍

[@LordEmvee]

alolan persian was something i was heavily debating on over sableye actually, though what lead me to sableye was that prankster stuff can be really interesting with this team especially vs. setup sweepers :)

[@OG-PranksterCat]

@@LordEmvee Yeah the priority status can be really helpful, so I definitely see the appeal. I hope it does well for you 👍

[@Regiultima]

Thwacky as a new pickup introduces the possibility of Grassy Seed Sneasler for an instant Unburden boost without having to use an attack to get the Unburden boost.

[@xanaviii]

Proof why Espeon is best Eeveelution. 👏👏👏

[@alwayssearching2012]

GG it's freakin Emvee!! Espeon the real MVP for sure. Also @ opponent if you're reading this, your last several Protects were super unnecessary. Accept your loss ffs

[@LordEmvee]

ty ty :) and yea like assuming he paralyzed goodra into full para into full para into full para into full para the protects are just to get his HP back up even more just was annoying cuz i knew it was a possibility in the back of my mind LOL
