15:15 this is the play where you missed. You definitely go hands here, as it puts on pressure unexpectedly with iron def and can't get para'd. Even if rocks go up, iron def into rest means you can scout Garchomp's Band earlier and play to keep balloon on Hatt.
true this turn would have put us ahead a bit, i was worried about potential stealth rocks on dudunsparce because it would be impossible to spin and the rocks chip would be GG
You really are the only trainer out there using spreads because of how the stat numbers look. Iron hands with a spread looking like Iron hands is for sure THE perfect build, why didn't I think of it already? I think that's why you're the best youtuber as well 🙏
23:00 l think you shouldve used Iron Defense again after resting up,, you were guaranteed to live a +4 earthquake after the +2 earthquake (barring crits), and you wouldve ohko'd him with body press at +4 since he was offensive. Either way, good to see you back, and hope you'll have lots of fun now that we got control over the timer,, you'll be good to go once you're all Warmed up :]
One of my favorite parts of the return to Draft Leagues is Emvee's nicknames. He named a tortoise Sun Tzu and damn near named Ting-Lu Wo-Chien. Power move if we're being honest Edit: YOOOO that Walking Wake survival was clutch! Power of not going Max-Max on full display
this league has more draft specialists than the ones you're usually in, but im sure the heat lord will overcome this hurdle. you're definitely getting this W
Awesome first battle, Emvee. Only thing I'd have done differently was the Iron hands vs Chomp: after resting, I'd EQ into body press because hands probably would live 2 EQs from full HP, and would knock itself out and chomp with body press after EQ first. Dunno if it would change the outcome of the match.
yeee that was something i was thinking abt as well, definitely was a potential option too though that super low eq roll really caught me off guard it did like half the second time around 😖
The second i saw the "Note" at 5:20 i instantly knew this was gonna be an L 😂. It was definately a really tough team to beat with all the water and fire-resists, hope to see #HealthyEmvee destroy the competition next week though. So hyped for all the heat that is to come in this draft league
LMAO yee i just wanted to let yall know i was ok since it would be weird if last vid i was sounding ok and this vid i was sick again LOL 😅 hopefully can get a win with this draft eventually tho
Love the nicknames! Would love a small graphic that keeps track of your team and the enemy team, and just greying out the pokemon that are fainted at any point. Would help the viewer keep track of the basic match-up a lot more easily, if you had the time to edit that in.
glad u like them :) also yeee some kinda layout for the stuff would be nice i needa find a way to edit that in since i dnt have much time/ the ability to do it in a neat way 🤔
@@LordEmvee I'm no expert, but I guess some kind of tool that pastes the image / team layout over the entire vid at once? Grandmaster D.Rey had a pretty cool layout in their video for this week, maybe he would be willing to show you how to do it quickly. Definitely doesn't need to be as clean as his, with all the extra art either.
Having the sun up for scovilian is important. However swapping in Torkoal constantly made you fall behind the pace. The free switches and chip damage you gave ur opponent always had you on the back foot
Yo i rarely ever comment but i been excited for this since i saw u would be a part of it. Easily my favorite pokemon content creator and love your heat playstyle. Keep it up lord emvee. Stay cool.
Hyped the draft is back. I know you were scared of the dragon berry but spamming dragon pulse w specs wake would’ve been so good. Double para sucks too tho
Emvee, you are the man. You got all the tools, you be back again next round, at least you shook the rust off. If you ever need another player to test against, I would be more than happy to help out.
@LordEmvee Cool, tomorrow I'll try to make teams based off of upcoming matchups. So the vids are recorded a week in advance, does that mean you're prepping for week 3 right now? By the way, I don't mean to come off the wrong way like I'm some pro player, I just thought it might be cool to test teams against someone outside of the competition.
I think maybe setting up more with iron hands could have been good obviously you risk crit putting you further behind but I think it's worth the extra turn especially if it guarantees the ko. But obviously hind sight is 20/20
In draft leagues, You usually start with a perfect streak snd then lose in playoffs/finals. Maybe starting with an L wis goinv to be a good sign who knows 😊
Tough game! In my opinion, I think the detriment was Torkoal not dealing any damage. Of course there were other things like double full para and maybe a different play here and there but regardless of all that, I’m pulling for you and Joey! Excited to watch draft battles again, as I skipped out on Gen 8. Let’s go Emvee!
Um ackchyually, 🤓 what you should have done is… Playing, no shade towards the analysts as I’m not even big brain enough to give input, lol. I believe in our smart cookie, Lord Emvee to learn from this & bring it back, especially now that he’s feeling better! :D You got this Lord Cookie! ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ 🍪👑 Also, I just wanna play & get back to bed, absolute mood over here 😭
LOL that's what I like to hear! And I could use a lord cookie tbh 😅 Always so nice seeing comments from you. I hope you are powering through your busy schedule and also taking time to relax and reward yourself, especially after all the good news you just received :)
Like I said in my draft comment, I think speed it your problem. Even in sun it’s easy to outspeed your team with a scarf. Not sure about the scovillian set when they have a bax and cinderace too. Like, what do you lock into to clean the game up with?
ye speed seems to be tough for this team, cinderace and bax cant normally switch into scovillain since it pretty much ohkod or 2hkos every on their team, but the tera definitely helped it
Emvee you should’ve ran your custom set you did in the Wake video, not only do I think it’s the best set for him allowing him to completely sweep but it also gives him more longevity
sick match, i really wanted to see you pull a double at 27:30 into the wake, not sure if it wouldve won you the game but you couldve been in a much better position
Pretty sure you shouldnt of terra’d this game. The turn you terra’d you shoulda just clicked specs dragon pulse. Did more damage to the dun anyway, and secured the same 2hkos. You have a little rust my man. Cant wait to see the heat you come up with this season!
I think the over use of choice items limited your outplay potential. Scovillian couldve 2 hit that baxcal, with a flame thrower into over heat. The sun sets up 2 hit combos like that. But not if your choiced. I dont like having 2 of your heavy hitters capped like that. These are my chicago cubs!!
Gg man yeah I've got to tell you this team is looking rough constantly having to switch in a mon just to set up sun and switch out into other mons to take damage is brutal. Sun just doesn't seem very strong in draft imo.
You want some heat, my brother? I’d love to see you try tera ice body press in snow. I think that’d be hot. Especially with stamina Mudsdale. The ice type is less predictable than tera fighting for STAB and tera blast provides coverage that’s way too good in this meta. Especially in VGC. With a ground type, the opponent wouldn’t use steel or rock moves, and they’d be wary of using a fire type until the trap has already been set, so to speak.
@@gregoryford2532 I already submitted a bug report to showdown’s calculator forum. Snow boost’s ice types’ DEF by 1.5. Body press is calculated using DEF. Hence the boost.
SPOILERS: GG Emvee super solid game, not the start you want to begin the season, as well as your return to draft. It’s still the first week however, and you haven’t gotten used to your team yet. Looking forward to W2, you’ll bounce back! Also, if you view this I have been looking for your background music that you have listed, could you please provide the link! 🙏
glad u enjoyed it :) also i dont think the link to the music exists anywhere on youtube anymore 😔 it was an old scythagang remix i saved the download for but the channel seems to be gone
Rough. Should've overheated the bax when flamethrower did like 45%. It would've killed, and you'd never need to worry about it. No way a base 130 move wouldn't have done the 55% needed to KO bax.
15:15 this is the play where you missed. You definitely go hands here, as it puts on pressure unexpectedly with iron def and can't get para'd. Even if rocks go up, iron def into rest means you can scout Garchomp's Band earlier and play to keep balloon on Hatt.

glad u like them 😎 and yeee at least the chinese ev spreads are activated
'make the ev spread look like the mon' is the new teambuilding meta
GG Man fantastic match! Walking Wake is a terror and I’m sure you’re gonna pop off in the rest of the season!
ty bro 🙏🏼 gg u prep/played very well :)
this league has more draft specialists than the ones you're usually in, but im sure the heat lord will overcome this hurdle. you're definitely getting this W
“If you look at it sideways, it kinda looks like an Iron Hands” Alright emvee have you been medicating before your battles? Lmao
i was that time since i was sick LMAOO
Awesome first battle, Emvee. Only thing I'd have done differently was the Iron hands vs Chomp: after resting, I'd EQ into body press because hands probably would live 2 EQs from full HP, and would knock itself out and chomp with body press after EQ first.

It's great to see you playing in draft! It looks like you drafted a challenging team, but I have no doubt you'll make it work and bounce back 🐐
hell yeah i’ve been waiting all week for this

ty bro really hoping the same :)

Draft is back hell yeah man cant wait for more!
Hyped for this season, can't wait to see what the team can do!
Been checking all day waiting for this upload
Yo i rarely ever comment but i been excited for this since i saw u would be a part of it. Easily my favorite pokemon content creator and love your heat playstyle. Keep it up lord emvee. Stay cool.
appreciate u boss 🙏🏼
Harsh fight, really nice match.
Keep up the good spirit, I think you've done well.
Looking forward to the next battle
Beso Emvee, tough mu there. Glad to see the gang back to draft leagues.
And just like that - after years lost in the wilderness - my interest in draft league is back from the dead. GG Emvee. GG
Emvee's showing up with just a straight up OU team
LMAO Emvee designing EV spreads to look like the Pokemon he's giving the EVs to. 🤣
Damn gg emvee. Love to see more draft content from ya!
Absolutely loved the nicknames! Lets go!
I looooooooooove draft tournaments. I wish you have the utmost fortune in this one :D
Scarf Gengar was pretty smart, seems likely that opponents will keep beinging scarfers to check Suicune
baxc is so good. thats tough
Hyped the draft is back. I know you were scared of the dragon berry but spamming dragon pulse w specs wake would’ve been so good. Double para sucks too tho
Emvee, you are the man. You got all the tools, you be back again next round, at least you shook the rust off. If you ever need another player to test against, I would be more than happy to help out.

GG Emvee tough call with the potential rocks on the sparce you're still the undisputed GOAT GG
Glad you are feeling better Emvee.
Losing your air balloon on hatt to dusparce is what did it should've switched into hands every time sparce was out
I think maybe setting up more with iron hands could have been good obviously you risk crit putting you further behind but I think it's worth the extra turn especially if it guarantees the ko. But obviously hind sight is 20/20

love draft league
My teambuilder look just like that!
We'll get em next week
Um ackchyually, 🤓 what you should have done is…
Playing, no shade towards the analysts as I’m not even big brain enough to give input, lol.
I believe in our smart cookie, Lord Emvee to learn from this & bring it back, especially now that he’s feeling better! :D
You got this Lord Cookie! ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ 🍪👑

This season has already started with a bang, there’s too many of you guys I want to win lol.
didn't watch the result yet, but you have a nasty team, lowkey out of something you would try regardless of restrictions
hell yeah been waiting for this heat draft
Like I said in my draft comment, I think speed it your problem. Even in sun it’s easy to outspeed your team with a scarf. Not sure about the scovillian set when they have a bax and cinderace too. Like, what do you lock into to clean the game up with?

Love draft content. GGs
Emvee should go to China and make some daily vlogs walking around w a Mamoswine Plushie on his pocket
Love your vids Emvee. Once you hit Bax with the flamethrower, it seems like you should have followed that up with overheat to KO it. Thoughts?
why is suicune so effin TALL?!
a true lord of EVs, wp
Been waiting for this shit ever since that finals defeat. REDEMPTION ARC
Emvee you should’ve ran your custom set you did in the Wake video, not only do I think it’s the best set for him allowing him to completely sweep but it also gives him more longevity
sick match, i really wanted to see you pull a double at 27:30 into the wake, not sure if it wouldve won you the game but you couldve been in a much better position
I'm still team emvee keep it up you're the goat
even if i lose every game i hope u always stay team emvee 😁
unfort but really enjoyed watching!
glad u enjoyed
HAIRY MAMA!!!
At 12:30, you say you kept your balloon.. how?
Pretty sure you shouldnt of terra’d this game. The turn you terra’d you shoulda just clicked specs dragon pulse. Did more damage to the dun anyway, and secured the same 2hkos. You have a little rust my man. Cant wait to see the heat you come up with this season!
yeee the reason i tera'd was to have the glaive rush immunity for later game, was a tough one though
I think the over use of choice items limited your outplay potential. Scovillian couldve 2 hit that baxcal, with a flame thrower into over heat. The sun sets up 2 hit combos like that. But not if your choiced. I dont like having 2 of your heavy hitters capped like that. These are my chicago cubs!!
Let’s go chargers!!!!
Gg man yeah I've got to tell you this team is looking rough constantly having to switch in a mon just to set up sun and switch out into other mons to take damage is brutal. Sun just doesn't seem very strong in draft imo.
agreed i'll draft some different stuff next time that will be more reliable/comfortable
Not bringing a flying type against a chomp team and not bringing hazards against a team without hazards control was a wonderful prep!!! Congrats!!!
Court change Cinderace, if I wanted all the hazards to be thrown back at me LOL
Sun tzu great name
ty ty 😌
You want some heat, my brother? I’d love to see you try tera ice body press in snow. I think that’d be hot. Especially with stamina Mudsdale.

With a ground type, the opponent wouldn’t use steel or rock moves, and they’d be wary of using a fire type until the trap has already been set, so to speak.
I think Walking Wake is his only tera captain, could be wrong though.

Joey dominated, Nexus got destroyed by a crit, let’s see how Emvee does
Thanks for the spoiler
Nexus would probably have lost anyway. The breloom was sashed.
@@matthewrutters6842 Unless breloom got two bullet seeds min roll or simething it was a wrap.
I’ve never seen draft content before, I mostly watched emvees Pokémon showdown videos. Anyone wanna explain how it works?
How canu change the stage? I can only play at school in SV
In unranked battles it randomizes between a bunch of different courts
@@kloudydayze no. I always play in link battle an its thr same always :(
either it is random OR it changes when you change the music, not sure 🤔
SPOILERS:
GG Emvee super solid game, not the start you want to begin the season, as well as your return to draft. It’s still the first week however, and you haven’t gotten used to your team yet. Looking forward to W2, you’ll bounce back!
Also, if you view this I have been looking for your background music that you have listed, could you please provide the link! 🙏
glad u enjoyed it :) also i dont think the link to the music exists anywhere on youtube anymore 😔 it was an old scythagang remix i saved the download for but the channel seems to be gone
No worries, thank you for the response. Glad you’re feeling better, and GL the rest of the BBR season I’ll be rooting for you Emvee :)
finallyyyyy
Hindsight is 20/20 but I think you would have had more success in flat out offensive against his team in future
Trick room hat maybe? Would help iron hands
So is everyone using hacked mons for this. It doesn’t bother me, just wondering ?
I sure hope so, lol. It would be a huge waste of everyone’s time if they had to breed and EV train pokemon for every week’s battle
There overall percentage of people who actually breed is actually less than 1%. So yeah.
Rough. Should've overheated the bax when flamethrower did like 45%. It would've killed, and you'd never need to worry about it. No way a base 130 move wouldn't have done the 55% needed to KO bax.
Well Scovillain was Specs, so he couldn't immediately follow up with an Overheat
only problem with Overheat is that it halves special attack when used
Unless Cinderace was weak enough it was ggs anyways I think- even more so if special attack was dropped after a few overheats.
There should be a hazard move called Coal 15% chance of getting burned
yes i think so too and it should be exclusive to torkoal :)
