Hello friends welcome back to another episode here on the channel I hope you're all doing great and as always for anyone new to the channel my name is Lee also known as Osiris. In today's episode we're continuing on with our VGC series 10 content. Obviously we're in the run-up like I've said previously to that series 10 rule set coming into official effect on the 1st of August but we're taking this time now just to kind of look at some of the big teams we've been doing that this week we covered Kyoga and Xoneas and Zashin already and today we're going to be covering if you hadn't guessed already Shadow Rider Calyrex. So we've got three teams to kind of go over today obviously we've got two quite standard ones and then another one which is just a different option. The thing with the Shadow Rider Calyrex is it has so many different options that you can run in this format you commonly seen it run with life orb one of the other options is focusash and then you've kind of generally seen something like choice scarf that is popping up around the ladder for sure and it can catch you out and common partners with it you're going to see the double fake out with the Rilla Boom Incineroar it's very good core supports the Calyrex very well obviously the Incineroar gives you a really nice synergy switching for weaknesses and the Intimidate as well as a real bonus but the big kind of partner that we're seeing especially early format is the Mind Show because of the options that it's got it can't be faked out neither can Shadow Rider Calyrex you can fake out opposing targets you've also got Wired God to kind of help protect Calyrex you've got Faint you've got so many different options close combat obviously the attack and move but you can go in here if you don't want Faint you can go help in hand but Faint I feel is a pretty nice one because I think a lot of the time what players are going to do against you is they're probably going to try and throw a Wired God up against Calyrex knowing that the majority of its attack and moves are going to be those spread attacks now there is some ways to get around the issues obviously expanding force we don't have psychic terrain on the field here so really it's going to be most of the time a single target attack unless your opponent brings that psychic terrain into effect so you're not really worrying you've got the spread move here two single target attacks here and even if the psychic terrain is up you do have ways to kind of manipulate the field and make that into a single target attack if Wired God is an issue with something like Rillaboom with the grassy terrain just turning that back into that single target attack the life orb just gives you that additional kind of damage output because it's just ridiculous and the big thing that you want to be trying to do with Shadow Rider Calyrex is obviously trying to get that snowball effect get those knockouts and get the the grim near ability kind of active get that plus one in special attack and then kind of just sweep through your team from there it's very momentum based Shadow Rider Calyrex and if you can't stop it kind of getting that momentum it's very difficult to kind of come back in some matches and obviously the mind share does help against the Calyrex as well with that why God makes it difficult and a lot of mind games kind of start coming up if you're in sort of a mirror match and you've got Reggie Alecki it's a great pokemon for speed control in this format we've seen it's top of the pretty much top five of the usage stats i don't see that changing anytime soon and you could go with focus sash on it magnet i've chosen here because i think the focus sash is a little bit more beneficial on the mind show and obviously the power output that you're going to get from the Reggie Alecki is a little bit more useful Incineroar Rillaboom kind of speak for themselves there's options where you could think about maybe going assault vest here but i feel like in this particular build where we'll probably not be switching Rillaboom in as much and that might be a little bit of a contradiction i think the miracle seed with that extra kind of power on that priority attack of grassy gliders just a little bit it kind of edges it for me at least and then the star of the show is the Suicune um a side of the Calyrex of course but Suicune are very good pokemon another inner focus pokemon can't be faked out very good very useful has defensive capabilities taken vol switch from magnet boosted Reggie Alecki it has grassy glide able to take that especially you can kind of support that further with your intimidate support from Incineroar as well you've got nice switches in between the Suicune Incineroar Rillaboom obviously making up that fire water grass core which is very nice offers the team tailwind and speed control which is great icy wind as well on top of that so it kind of plays a little bit like a bulkier slower tornado in that respect where you'd see the tailwind and the icy wind just to kind of really disrupt what your opponent's starting to do if they are matching your tailwind at least and then snarl is a really nice option especially for opposing calyrex and just other big special attackers in the format skulls just generally quite good and leftovers is the option here i mean you can go something like wackenberry something like rindleberry but i feel like the recovery that you can get through leftovers and then with the grassy train kind of stacked on top of that is very useful so as always all the teams will feature today as well my friends are down in the description below we'll have a few games of the teams once we've went through the kind of the common builds we'll go over to this one now this is another common build that we're seeing at the moment especially calyrex paired up with the stack attacker gives you such good flexibility like really good offensive options at both ends of the spectrum you know got the calyrex at the top end then you've got the stack attacker at the bottom end and the trick room in this format i think will start seeing a little bit of a rise in usage i think trick room is very strong it's just being able to kind of get that trick room set up which sometimes is quite difficult in this format because of the overwhelm and damage output from a lot of these big restricted pokemon the fake out disruption that we've got like in abundance and also the the taunt all those sort of things that can kind of come into play to kind of stop it and obviously amungus is a big issue as well for a lot of teams now that we don't have dynamax kicking around so it's a pretty similar build you're going to see a lot of the calyrex teams with similar builds same kind of like grounding fundamentals in there rillaboom incinero again in here we went for an assault vest one in this this particular build just to give rillaboom a little bit more staying power i've got the focus sash on calyrex there it gives you a little bit better of an advantage against opposing calyrex especially those scarf ones are kicking around at least you're able to take an attack and then knock out and return you know so you've got a little bit of security there a little bit of security additionally on the rillaboom and with the assault vest as well you've got the option then to knock out the opposing calyrex that could be an issue as well as how useful knockoff is in general just removing items which is probably more important in this format with a non-dynamax format than it was previously um regio lecky again sticking with the same one the max speed i feel like personally in this sort of format you can't really it's just my opinion of course a lot of other players might disagree and there are good arguments for every kind of build of regio lecky but i do feel like you don't really want to compensate with the speeds the speed kind of the speed ties the worst case scenario but you don't want to like give that up almost you know you want to try and give yourself the best advantage to win that in those really awkward horrible situations where whoever gets the electric rebel first is most likely going to win the match you know so you give yourself the best opportunities in that respect and incinero again kind of staying with the standard one because mind shout is annoying we're seeing a bit more of a surge in ground on so the defensive capabilities of the incinero and personally from my point of view it's playing pretty well so and you know until it stops becoming so relevant we don't need to to to change it up especially in this build where you know we don't worry so much about zernius because you've got that stack attacker that can just really single-handedly deal with it you know and then we've got the indeedy female gives nice support to the calorex obviously with that psychic terrain allows expanding force to turn into that spread attack and then you've got options like follow me great protection for calorex help in hand and then expanding force as well going with the psychic seed on there just to give a little bit of a defensive boost because the one thing about your redirection pokemon is you want them to stick around on the field for as long as possible i know i say this a lot but it is just prolonging the lifespan of that pokemon to allow it to do its job and make it a little bit more difficult for your opponent in these situations so this is the reason why we weren't full defensive it is there as a support option but it does have some offensive capabilities as well and then we move on to the stack attacker which again is kind of like the other side of the offensive team under that trick room you've got incinero really boom doesn't mind trick room so can perform pretty well in there and it does so much work stack attacker in this format it's great if you can get the trick room up and you've got a really good line of support here with that redirection which is amazing because you have to watch out for precipice blades and things like that but you do have wide gardens so you've got the options to kind of protect yourself while repositioning and then you can try and get the trick room up as well with things like that double fake out which will really help you to be able to do that and once the trick rooms up especially for your opponent's team doesn't really have the kind of tools to deal with that it's going to be very hard for them to deal with and like i say with the safety goggles you're not worrying so much about a moongus and especially that combination of zernius and a moongus where you can just get rid of zernius pretty pretty easily you know and the wide guard helps out a bunch against various teams in this format so that is the caloric stack attacker team and then we'll move on to the little bit more fun one miss bit risky i don't know if i'd play this personally but i think it's a lot of fun we'll have a game or two with it if we can squeeze it in today again seeing a lot of the kind of same sort of pokemon paired up with it but we do have a few variations in the end here um calorex with the scarf i'll explain the spread here because the other two were pretty self-explanatory just max speed max special attack and at this point in the format you know with how calorex and when you're testing calorex there's no need to to spend a massive amount of time doing damage calculations it's better just to jump in and kind of assess how things are going in games and then readdress those damage calculations if there are attacks that you think oh we could probably have survived that um so let's see if can we can we afford to take a bit of attack out can we afford to take a bit of speed out and in that instance it makes sense but like at the start of the format start of team building it's always a good idea just to try and jump in get your feet wet and just kind of experience how the team is playing um so the scarf with this speed it allows you with the scarf to get the jump on kaiyoga modest max speed kaiyoga in tailwind which is pretty nice so you're going to be able to get an attack off on them before they can do anything to you which is really nice and kind of same kind of moveset with astral barrage expanding force shadow ball single target attack and then we've got draining kiss as well which gives you a nice option against something like urshifu which could be a little bit problematic uh otherwise um and also mineshow and things like but i mean you've got plenty of options against mineshow so like that that's you know it doesn't really matter too much but the scarves calorex is really nice you can go modest with this one as well it does afford you that little bit of extra um attack power which is really good and um if you can get yourself into a good position as an end game it's a phenomenal kind of cleanup crew pokemon to come in and just just get rid of whatever's kind of left regi likey again you know uh it's just doing regi likey things it's good for pivoting it's good for board positioning with that it's good for speed control and it's good for just putting big damage on the field on common things like incinero like zapdos for instance and a bunch of other stuff so we've got the regi likey in there and obviously helps out against those bulky waters that are slowly starting to kind of pick up in usage uh incinero again very similar to how we've been playing it but it supports the calorex very well comes in and with that defensive capability i didn't mention it before but it does give you a little bit more of an advantage against something like zashing um just with that defensive bulk that you've got there so it's entirely up to you how you feel and like i say though the big point about jumping and intestine teams before you worry too much about um EV spreads and things like that is the fact that you'll be able to say well kind of don't need this defensive bulk it would be better suited and maybe special defense and that's the whole experience of it and how you kind of get to the end point with these teams um obviously these are in the very early stages because we are in the early stages of format and then we move over uh not in DD female we've got in DD male here so we've got the dude uh in DD here and uh with the focus sash makes a lot of sense just gives you that little bit of security plays really nicely with the calorex the psychic surge again for that psychic terrain really helps out um and it gives you a nice option to stop the trick room if uh that is going to be an issue for uh this team because obviously tricking going up gonna be a bit problematic for you so being able to kind of imprison that uh shut that down and also uh stop opposing expanding force which and dazzling gleam which kind of helps out the zapdos and a lot of respect as well which is the next pokemon which kind of comes into play and i feel like a very nice partner for for calorex because a lot of the time what you're going to see is uh players approaching the calorex matchup with their incinero zapdos with that defined ability really makes that a little bit more difficult for your opponent to kind of freely just do that and cycle the intimidates and try and cycle uh the fake outs as well so uh zapdos a very good pokemon for that in general and uh if speed is an issue you can always fall back on trick room and use it yourself you know if you're up against sash in late game you've got the opportunity to turn the trick room around you can always make use of that help support the incinero as well um so zapdos not really too much to say pretty straightforward spread here uh and mousset really standard but does the job and then we'll move on to selgo which i felt you know i was toying around with the last slot here uh we went from swamp hurt was one option i really do like it gives you another option of being able to kind of uh pivot out with flip turn and it gives you wide guard as well which can be really beneficial um but i kind of ended up on a selgo because i thought well it pairs super nicely with something like the the calorex um you're going to be able to uh outspeed the calorex um with the selgo with that psychic seed boost and you can kind of pair that nicely with acid spray to really start doing a lot of work to your opponents and you've got the option then to to punish things like tornadoes which you'll outspeed even in a tailwind uh with on course so you can lock them into that you can struggle bug and you've got final gambit as well so you can just chunk things in in a non-dynamics format final gambit has a new lease of life as well so they are the teams uh what we're going to do is start off with the calorex suiku and we'll have a couple of games like we do evelto one of the pokemon that i have been thinking about a lot you know if calorex does pick up in usage evelto is an extremely good pokemon to to utilize against something like calorex so it means that it makes it a little bit more difficult to bring uh as a lead of course regi alecki here is good the goth hotel makes things a little bit more tricky as well of course uh okay so i think what we'll do is mind me and chow and regi alecki seem good calorex and yeah really boom i think i think really boom we'll go with that okay we got regi alecki and goth hotel so we've got to contend with obviously fake up from the goth hotel uh we can fake out the regi alecki if we like um we could elect your web just straight off the back but you've got to worry about trick room but then on appearance my pony team doesn't really look like they've got too much trick room right we could reposition ourselves now we could just vault switch and then fake out into the alecki um and that will allow us okay so we just trade fake outs here which is which is kind of fine um we probably want to vault switch out though now although i do really want to electoral electoral web as well i think one of the things we could we've got to preserve our regi alecki that's the big thing we could just close combat into their poison regi alecki yeah they do protect which is kind of fine um and we can readjust by bringing in um calorex is not a bad option because then the next turn the only uh really boom now we're bringing calorex yep so we don't get that and then hypnosis but it misses which is good oh and they got the blunder policy which is not ideal but i don't think goth hotel is going to be able to outspeed calorex still so i'll ask for a barrage and for white god because i think they have to go for electoral web yeah um yeah because i don't think goth hotel's got the speed to be able to kind of get the jump on us a plus two i could be wrong could be wrong but i'm i'm kind of sure that that is the case so we get uh you can see the use there of of why god how well it kind of comes into play and stuffy being very very kind but the game is not over yet because obviously the big the big bads just entered the field which makes things very difficult for us now regi alecki going to be the pokemon here to kind of help us um close this one out where we could protect and bring really booming and then preserve something like yeah i think and then we got the fake out onto the velta the next turn and we can go astro barrage it's a sucker punch yeah and then sacred fire do we take just about yeah oh the burn don't let us go down to the bone no so we don't uh yeah and then we've got the fake and we are plus two so at this point the anti um we don't worry about your velta too much with regi alecki in the back especially with me and shall we've got the fake out uh active as well so plus two should take down the anti it might be a salt vest we'd have to be a little bit careful for that uh obviously we get the fake out of um and then yeah we're going to get the astro barrage so you can see like you've got ways around this um sort of team you've just got to play it very carefully but the team's kind of like supported pretty well with with everything that it kind of does uh but they're going to suck a punch they're going to suck a punch for sure there's no point of risk in anything at this point we'll just you turn um they're going to suck a bunch there and uh yeah we'll get the astro barrage uh and good game to steffy so here we go um we'll have one more game of this team then we'll move on to the others i'm conscious of time so hopefully is it better just have one game with each team maybe maybe let me know down the comment section we're obviously not going to be doing them on showdown for that much longer obviously we're going to have switch content next week we do have the tour uh going on tonight that we put up earlier in the week we've got a bunch of entries i think last time i looked it was over 141 so if you're still available would like to play in our weekly for series 10 on the switch get involved i'll remind you the code at the end of the episode so here we go a bit of a mirror we've got the shadow rider with the miang xiao uh relaboom regi lecky entai and urshifu so the big thing here i think is like swikoo can play a big part in this game for us because i think like if we can utilize our tailwind like late on then calyrex can do a bunch of work against everything that my opponent's got but we've got to kind of pave the way um for us to be able to do that in the first place which makes it pretty it does make it difficult i'm not gonna not gonna lie not gonna lie um okay so i think what we'll do is we'll lead regi lecky do we need incinero here it definitely helps against the relaboom but i don't know if it's like super necessary i think we'll bring rela and then we'll have calyrex swikoo in the back and we've got a pretty free electoral web here if i'm honest which sets us up for the calyrex to kind of come in late game you know um and even if we lose regi lecky here it's not it's definitely not a bad thing and we can just fake out the urshifu the other thing to think here is do we fake out the urshifu or do we just grassy glide the horse you know the horsey and we fake out okay well we get some chip damage onto the miyansha which is which is always really nice um and now what we can do is we have to protect regi lecky of course and probably we just double protect the problem doing this is if your opponent feints and then you get really punished for it you know which is which is not ideal um but i feel like they're more in the option where they have to fake out regi lecky rather than feint you know because if they feint and we just attack then it gets pretty pretty rough for them so we could get a cheeky grassy glide off but i kind of want to preserve relabooms health as much as possible here yeah the feiko comes out but like a really solid play there you know like the mind game player would be feinting in that situation that just punishes us and that's what makes this team so dangerous you know um okay well we'll vote switch out onto the horsey we can then i mean we could potentially double up into it but i think what we'll do is yeah they're wide guard so that was wasteful but we'll be able to vote switch out we get suikun onto the field and suikun not super important or as important at this point because even though it's going to get a bunch of its health back we still have grassy glide and you would imagine the horsey's probably in range from that grassy glide now um we can try and tell when don't know if we're going to be able to get it off though that's a big thing i think we have to protect as well with with relab to try and make use of that grassy glide the next turn let's see now we might get a i think we will get a tail wind up which is amazing okay so this that kind of locks the game for us there um getting that fake out and then we've got grassy glide um we could you turn and predict that the horse protects but i don't think it does i don't think it does yeah we're probably better off just grassy glide and at this point i see wind in uh no no snarling grassy glide just in case that yeah the horse protects the horse protects it makes sense i thought we'd maybe see you turn come out from from monkey monkey but that's not going to happen calyx can come in now we got the tail wind set up we can just go astro barrage the grassy glides gone and we can just you turn into the monkey and uh take down that really boom oh i forgot the ursha fu still in the back i forgot i totally forgot okay well i totally forgot about this wow okay well well well well it's not over just yet it's not over just yet um but i mean we do have electro web we can switch we can electro web switch into rilla boom um and then calyx gonna be it's the it's the ursha fu that's the big the big problem here you know um and it's probably better off going for a vol switch into it uh and switching into rilla but then again we could get ourselves into a terrible spot by doing this hmm they're gonna protect i think they double protect here so i think we're pretty safe switching into rilla boom and i think we just electro web yeah protect and sucker oh no they're going wicked blow but uh that's the magnet booster helping us out a bunch so yeah okay now we've just got the grassy glide and uh we do pick up the wind so very good game to my opponent lucky tiger made it difficult in that end game um but you just like that's the thing just be careful the whole time so we'll move on now to the calyx stack attack a team so we've got zash in nigh lego nigh lego another thing to mention as well really good pokemon in this format you think of pokemon that can deal quite effectively with incinero and rilla boom and nigh lego like fits the fits that bill pretty well so we've got uh landorus suikun going to provide snarl tailwind support all those nasty things uh amungus and then incinero so i mean we're pretty free if we want to lead with something like calyx here um we could even lead there's no terrain on my opponent's side of the field so we could even lead like indeedy here you know i put this in a great spot um the only issue is the suikun which which can be a little bit problematic of course um and we probably want incinero as well just to help us a little bit with that end game against zash in so i think these three it's just which one do i lead with maybe incinero is not a bad player and then we can bring in indeedy and then rilla boom and i feel like the whole center of the teams around this calyx so calyx goes down early we're in a bit of trouble we're in a bit of trouble uh okay well they've led absolutely phenomenally against this and it's going to be difficult now to deal with that incinero which i've kind of really overlooked here um but we can get ourselves out of this for sure so we can protect and i think we can parting shot out onto the asshole which is suikun which is a great nickname so they get the tail wind up which is yep fine they parting shot out on us we parting shot out on them it's the it's the snarl that makes uh suikun so dangerous you know against calyx um and it's bulk in general that's what you know we saw it perform very well in those last examples um yeah and they're gonna get this ashen in now which is which is good but i mean it's good for us that we're able to get uh our intimate it off the field now you've got to imagine that incinero probably comes in here but we can switch our own incinero in um and i think we just fake out the zashen makes it tough but incinero likely to come in i would imagine i would imagine i don't think they leave this suikun out on the field kind of in a position where it's it's it's pretty threatened by the rilla boom but at the same time the zashen's kind of help and keep check okay so we could have went for that cheeky grassy glide could have should have they go for the snarl just to kind of cover bases which makes a lot of sense they've got that active faker but i think the one thing that we probably want to try and do is uh uh we could be we could get some um we need to get incinero off the field because i think we need to be quite proactive about how we're utilizing um our incinero for when that zashen does come back onto the field skull coming out doing a decent chunk of damage get another potting shot there and then we can bring the rilla boom back onto the field which is which is good uh because then we've got the option now we can follow me with the indidian go for that grassy glide into this slot which is quite nice um or we could go for a knockoff into the suikun as well um just because i feel like suikun probably does it switch out here i don't know i don't know if it does you know well we're not intimidated that's the big thing for us where we could potentially just fake out the incinero or we could help and hand grassy glide here which is also an option um incinero not going to be able to take us down and whatever comes in you know i think we help in hand yeah okay the moon gets the best the best of the bad bunch um we'll probably take yeah okay and suikun will come back in there i think i know it's the zashen okay well this is a problem here because the moongas have got a free spore into this slot which is not ideal we can protect indidian just switch into incinero but it's a pretty free substitute or um sacred sword okay well i think we're our hands kind of forced at this point um do we protect or do we expand and force i just don't want indidian going to sleep that's a thing the expanding force damage might be quite nice into the moongas as we see incinero switch in there but i think it's going to be a spore okay well they get the sub up which is fine we've got the option where we can attack into this slot now but you've got to imagine that the you've got to imagine that the incinero comes in there um we can try and just protect here so we'll get another potting shut off sacred sword makes a lot of sense should proc our berry okay and then we can get could we get calyrex on the field now i don't feel like it's a great idea to be honest not in front of the incinero the really boom gives us that fake out option of course um the thing is we need to get rid of we need to get rid of the zash in sub that's a big thing yeah i'm gonna take another one here behemoth blade take that pretty well potting shot into the boom okay and the moongas coming back onto the field now um all right all right all right all right this is this is difficult like if we can get zash like it's calyrex on the field now this is like this would be ideal for us in all honesty um i think a knockoff will probably get rid of the sub now and then we can go for the follow me which we don't we don't get but we lose indeedy okay so it kind of opens the door for us a little bit subfades and spores so that's that's good in a way because it now gives us the option to get a big attack off onto at least the moongas uh where we can go for a u-turn there um what do we switch straight out because they're likely to protect i think and then incinero coming on this slot that would be my guess um and we can ask for a barrage and do that and expect the incinero to come in there i think that's what will happen but who knows the moonga sticks around on the field uh it's not ideal because there's a chance that it will be able to get the spore off if we miss the knockout but the zashion's not yeah incinero okay let's see that protect that's what we want oh no protect protect so we get some damage off that's a bulky old zonius it goes for the uh okay well we'll be able to kind of get the incinero back in which definitely helps us out a bit we don't get the intimidate off which is a nice play from my opponent we can fake out hope we've got the faster fake out we can go for an astro barrage into the zashion break that sub and then we've got to kind of pin this next turn along with that incinero yeah okay so they didn't i don't know if we're faster we should be faster than them we should be we can go flare blitz i think flare blitz oh the problem is we'll probably end up activating a berry on it unless it is no it's not a salt fest it's definitely berry which is the big problem um i think we have to read readjust our board position here i think we have to potting shot out onto the zashion but i think the zashion probably it's got enough health to get a sub up as well i think we potting shot out and protect yeah they protect okay this is good now we get the really boom in now we've got that fake out now we've got a way to deal with the zashion and the grassy terrain backup it makes it difficult for the suikun to come back onto the field and that amungus as well so um now we can just i think we knock off into the incinero slot although no i think we have to fake it out because we're not going to be able to yeah and just astro barrage yeah fake out astro barrage and this should we'll probably proc a berry yeah oh no berry what is that incinero safety goggles then potentially um but the astro barrage gonna get the incinero now we've kind of got my opponent pinned where we can just go knock off into the amungus astro barrage again and my opponent doesn't have too many options now especially with like if they comes down to the zashion and the there's a suikun you know um so from a really tough situation you can see how you can kind of eke out these positions but you've got to be like on point the whole time and the game's not over yet you know the game is not over um my opponent's still got 04 pokemon um and we are down in numbers so suikun coming in that's fine we just need to remove the amungus which we are able to do they're gonna get the incinero back in and get the tail wind up which is a little bit yeah awkward for us for sure because now they got that active fake out it makes it very tricky for us to kind of um yeah they fake out really boom fake out really boom we'll grassy glide and astro barrage yeah they'll get the tail wind up but we'll be able to remove the incinero do a good damage and then suikun we're gonna be able to pick up the suikun the next turn uh and switch into incinero grassy glide into the suikun and then stall out this tail wind because that's the big thing for us here so incinero back onto the field hopefully we can take oh we don't get it we don't get it can we always survive okay that's good that's good that's good that's that's some good calc in there that's a brilliant play by my opponent though in all honesty the grassy terrain ending though that is terrible for us it's terrible timing for us um what do we do we need to stall out this tail wind that's all we that's literally all we need to do stall out the tail wind that's all we need to do i think we grassy glide and we'll fake out sif is it enough it's not enough they get the burn though which is not what we need no we need at all oh and we go down okay well we got one turn the tail wind we can protect and then we've got this game wrapped up so they can go for i think we have to go for the flablets into sif the zasin um my opponents play this amazingly well amazingly well gotta hope we survive this which we do uh we get this up and then lock it up and what a game for us to uh to have with this one team uh so yeah that's a very good very good game to my opponent very fine margins and uh a bit of a longer one today i will end with the scarf calyrex and we'll see wow this is nearly 40 minutes i'm gonna try and chop it down so it's not that long because i i do bear in mind that i know now everyone's got a bunch of time to sit and watch this but hopefully you found it enjoyable i do try to cut the videos up into segments so if you just want to see a particular team then you can come to that segment and kind of watch it in your own time great team we've got a whole up next playing with the ferith on the mind show um the gastrodon landers and the regi alecki okay well we can go scarf mode can't we with the calyrex i think we're gonna need to intimidate and incineroar here for sure um why god's gonna be a bit of an issue for us of course so it's something we need to to kind of consider in this one actually now we'll go a calyrex we'll go indeedy we'll go incineroar and i think zaptos to be honest because the intimidate there is well the regi alecki is going to be really awkward to deal with of course but i think the two ground types put me off bringing alecki to this one a little bit so here we go let's see what scoff calyrex can do um the terrain being up doesn't help the why god situation of course but we do have uh shadow ball and we can kind of cover bases with an expanded force if they don't go for that fake out shadow ball hopefully is enough to get uh there's a why god of course but it does get the yeah and now the momentum swings right now the momentum swings so we'll plus one ferith on coming in makes things a little bit more tricky of course um um but we're not we're not like pinned to the spot where we need to keep everything on the field you know uh do we want to keep calyrex out i kind of would like to get rid of the meat and chow and then we can take advantage of because gyro ball is likely to come into this slot now i think um so i think what we'll do is we'll expand in force and hope that the mineshare doesn't go for it again oh no they don't okay they switch into ho we miss out on the intimidate there which is a little bit of a shame get the knockoff nice option there on on ferrith thorn uh and we see the forfeit very good game to my opponent i think they're still in a good chance to kind of win this game for sure uh they had the tools to do it but we'll wrap up there friends hopefully you've enjoyed today's episode thank you so much for tuning in as always hope it's been at least a little bit educational in a way and entertaining in other ways as well so tonight we are streaming uh we

Anything that a person does that can be observed is a behavior. People engage in behavior 100% of the day. To manage challenging behaviors in the classroom, it is important to plan in advance. Intentionally thinking about possible problem behaviors before engaging in planning your instructional day will reduce the possibility of disruptive, off-task, or unwanted behavior. Taking a proactive approach to managing your classroom will help prevent non-compliance. People with specialized training in the area of positive behavior supports call this anti-seedent strategies. This video will highlight three essential strategies to prevent unwanted behavior and will result in more effective classroom managements. Clear instructions, consistent routines, and transitions. We're painting with this kind of paint. These are called watercolors. Can you say that? Watercolors! Communicating a behavior expectation concretely to ensure students understand the expectation. This includes stating what the student is expected to do versus what the student shouldn't do. Using concrete, simple language phrased as an instruction, not a question. Using visual supports or modeling to enhance comprehension. And limiting the number of steps given for a task at one time. Giving them clear instructions for me prevents problems for me later. You know, five minutes from now when the kids are doing what I want them to be doing, what kind of problems do I think I might encounter? And so I try to be proactive and give them clear instructions. It's sort of preventative, right? So I'm not dealing with those kinds of problems later. The fundamentals are basically providing instructions so that there's no wiggle room for a child to interpret it differently. If you want them to walk, then you don't say no running. Because then they could skip, they could hop. So rather than saying no running, you could say, oh, nice walking, or walking feet, please. And so just providing exactly what you want the child to do and how you want them to do it rather than leaving it negative or very broad. Implementing a consistent routine that is discussed with a visual schedule helps students anticipate and prepare for upcoming expectations in a day. Changes in a routine should be discussed and highlighted with the students at school arrival. When students understand routine expectations, it alleviates their anxiety and increases compliance. A daily routine should include frequent movement breaks and opportunities for self-care. I keep my day very structured. Every day is the same. The kids are very well aware of the routines. I give a lot of time limits. So you have two minutes to do this. If you're not done by that, then there's a consequence for that. Kids are very well aware of morning routine, come in after recess, come in. So I keep my day very structured. The time of day where students frequently engage in challenging behavior is during transitions. There are a number of strategies that can support successful transitions and decrease off-task challenging behaviors during this time. Teaching and practicing behavior expectations for transitions. Communicating the length of time students have for an activity. For younger students, this could be done with a visual schedule. For older students, they can reference the classroom clock. Transition warnings that communicate the amount of time left in an activity. Transition warnings support students in organizing their time to prepare for upcoming transitions.


What's up guys we're back with another worth it or not where I look at your cards and let you know if they are worth it or not to send in to get created so I already recorded this video earlier and that was before the live stream when you guys told me I can only hear this out of one ear in my headphones I had to fix that then I realized I recorded a video like that so we're just rerecording it we're gonna rerecord this is for you guys we do have a quick giveaway i'll be giving away these three cards all you have to do is like this video please subscribe the number of what you think is worth it or not and if I was right or wrong and some other things or just whatever you think in the comments worth opening the heavy one booster is 12.95 grams the other one is 13.05 grams hashtag worth or not so these are first edition metal raiders packs we don't know if they're from the original box or if they're not so he may know the poster of this he's gonna know did I get these from a sealed booster box or did I get them randomly off ebay or something like that because you can weigh these packs but if you don't have the original box with all the other weights of the other packs you're not gonna get a super accurate reading and might one might be heavier than the other but they might both still be light the first time we did this video I looked up some price it looks like they're about 300 dollars on ebay 300 supposedly for ebay unweight which means they say they're unweight we don't really know if they're unweight or not I looked at a ton of the hollows as well and the hollows in this set are absolutely amazing secretaries thousand dragon we got the gate guardian then we've got the ultra rare solemn judgment barrel dragon summon skull beast skull dragon time wizard you name it nearly every ultra rare besides seven tools of the band at magic jammer and the horn of heaven they still actually make your money back in 10 so even though it's make your money back some of the supers are more than 300 dollars as well it's up to you do you want to take the risk if you know it's from a sealed booster box and it's a little bit heavier maybe go for it or maybe you can find some other weights from the box or if they are not from the box it's more risky it might be a light pack but honestly you have a good chance if it is a heavy pack of making your money back if you get a ps8 10 and a lot of the nines actually would do as well so I think honestly it's probably worth it to go for it worth it or not crossroads of chaos black rose dragon soft corners and edgeware this is the first edition black rose dragon so obviously that's a big price card even if it's not perfect condition so I remember this one having it has a little bit of silvering on the bottom and it does have a bent corner on the top or look slightly bent it wasn't a big bend the back looks really nice that's right okay never mind there were scratches so yeah this is the one where it looks super nice at first and then there was a bunch of scratches so these scratches would bring it down to like moderate play so there's the scratches the silvering and the slightly bent corner I would call this one like moderately played so at that point it's not really worth sending in and actually making any money off or any increasing the value at all I really like ghost stories raw so I think this would be a really cool one to have like in your binder or you could even sell it raw because it's an expensive card even in moderate play I would say for this one it's not worth it to grade it request for ruxin q&a videos just think it'd be cool for ruxin answer q&a about the hobby and collecting kind of miscellaneous questions that aren't worth it or not I think it'd be a great resource for people new to the hobby like myself so if you guys are interested in something like this let me know in the comments also I think the reddit is going to be more of a not just worth that or not and not just the collection showcase but maybe a mix of some and then maybe some questions obviously we're hitting up a q&a video right now we're answering a question so I think we'll add this in in the future if you guys like that let me know in the comments worth it or not one of these cards in a local auction under $20 for all is it worth grading them now all seem to be minty except blows by dragon and dds I remember these two of these are in good condition that one has a couple of scuffs this is the one that really surprised me but the spellbinding circle the front looks pretty good and then the back you guys see that there's a ton of scratches and scuffing maybe he didn't know that those make it not minty but to me minty means like a nine or maybe even a 10 but something like this is at moderate play because I think there was actually a slight bend on the card as well as moderately played on the back definitely not worth grading the spellbinding circle then the wing dragon of raw is pretty nice on the front and the back had I think it had it's one small thing yeah right there right there there's a tiny scuff but honestly this could maybe get a nine and then the last two he said are not minty the bull eyes by dragon in the dark sage if that other one was minty these I assume are like in heavy played condition or something like that you definitely don't send those in you don't send in the spellbinding circle the other two are eight to nine candidates the wing dragon raw's borderline for $150 you might get the nine and then it's probably worth it a little bit and then if you get the eight it's not really so I would probably hold off on that one and the red eyes I definitely would because it's lower price than wing dragon raw and wait for the $20 rate the wing dragon of raw is one you maybe consider but I would probably still wait for that one so all these I would say not worth it worth it or not the duelist genesis start us dragon soft corner so the corner is bent up there that one looks okay foils decent has a couple of dots on it which is not too bad and then this bottom corner right here you can see has a big old ding on it not not very good there and then this side looks pretty good two corners in and of itself are gonna do a big hit on the grade you're gonna be down like a five or six at best back it looks fairly decent it does have some scuffing but it looks like it's not too much but those two corners themselves like one soft corner brings it down like a seven usually but that big one on the bottom would probably knock you down like five honestly so you're looking out of five it's kind of like the black rose it's a really nice first edition card I would probably keep it raw and keep it in your binder either sell it or keep it for your own collection I don't think grading it's going to bring you much value here so I would say that this one is not worth it here's a collection flex I looked at earlier it's heroes and ultimate secret rare so it's just a really cool set of cards you got the nova master neos knight I think the name is the aqua neos the ultra rare air neos but that's a rare one because it's only been printed in striking neos you got the ultimate rare thunder giant flame wingman it's a gold stamp you got the evil hero inferno wing you got the grand neos up here why let's get to him and then the magma neos secret rare and the element zero chaos neos secret rare so just a really cool element zero collection figure we showcase it as a collection flex worth it or not 306-025 black cluster soldier bought this for 180 dollars should I get it graded it is beautiful this is an ultimate rare black cluster soldier one of the coolest ultimate rears you can get everybody loves envoy at the beginning it's just really cool I think this card looks really good it does have a corner ding right there on the bottom left which would honestly probably knock it out at least two grades the back I don't really remember yeah it's very bright video it has a couple of things it's kind of hard to tell there's a couple of things on it that front ding the front left would really do a number on the grade so honestly I think this is personally I would love it in a go deck I think that's where it belongs you know that that card just seems like a really nice go card I don't think it's going to bring you too much value grading a 180 dollar card and getting an eight or worse so honestly unless you just want it slapped I would not grade this card even though it is beautiful worth it or not this is my go-stress stardust from the duals genesis series worth it it has a little white tint on the top right corner and I want to know if it's any worth grading I can't really give you a good opinion if you only give me one picture and it's in a sleeve so that's kind of the problem he gave me he said it only has one white 10 as the guy said earlier he said it's a minty card and it was there's tons of scratches on it so I can't just like take their word for it and actually give them good advice without actually being able to see the card so I would need better pictures of this if it's in good condition like it's a nine or ten candidate this is definitely worth it if it's below that like an eight or a seven candidate it's not worth it I wouldn't I can give you that worth it or not L.O.B. Blue Eyes White Dragon in a print I believe is reprint two but it's absolutely minty besides the one little spot in the top middle of the card as you can see in the video still worth for grading this is a reprint as you can tell if you guys have seen a lot of the originals versus the reprints it's a little bit harder if you can't so you can tell it's an NA print if it just says LOB-001 if there's an E in front of the 001 then that's a European copy EN is still an English copy for LOB because they were printed in Master Collection 1 and Forbidden Legacy in 2004 and 2005 that's where you could find all the ENs for LOB MRD and MRL and there was other or SRL technically and then there were some other EN sets like LOD and all that stuff but those are English sets they were not European which a lot of people think this for some reason the video is not coming through super well but I remember this one being an 8 to 9 candidate so for a reprint copy if it could get the 10 definitely worth it but because it's max is like a 9 maybe an 8 then I would definitely not grade this one right now however this is probably a good candidate for the $20 grading worth it or not I have a first edition access code talk or would it be worth grading this is one of the most important posts I saw today here is why a lot of people see an expensive card and they think I should grade this it can get more expensive but what they don't think about a lot of the time is why is this card worth something so access code talker why is it worth something is it worth something because it's collectible probably not this card is worth something because it is very good in the game if you guys have ever played with access code talker it's a really good card that's why it's worth so much also it did not get a reprint recently in the most recent 10s everyone thought it was going to once they realized it didn't it skyrocketed in price sounds like $160 so you see $160 card like hey maybe that's worth grading because it's so expensive but it's not collectible so a new card can be worth grading but it needs to be something that's worth collecting let's say the new 10 had a dark magician inside that was starlight rare it was a just a regular dark magician maybe a new artwork starlight rare something like that but it's so worth grading because it's so collectible a lot of people are going to want access code talker you can't use the card if you grade it so you grade it and now the reason it's expensive is now unavailable for it so because you can't play in a deck can't put a slab in your 40 card deck unless you whip out the whole slab deck or something like that but probably not going to happen and i don't think it's legal i would like to see someone try and shuffle that so it's very important to think about why the card is worth something so access code talker it's definitely not worth grading worth that or not misprint ultra rare is from the obelisk structure deck here's another one that i thought was super interesting so misprints they can be very valuable people that collect misprints will pay a ton for a specific card that they want not necessarily these i don't know how much these are worth specifically i have noticed that misprint collectors they just don't really care about grading that much they don't want their their misprints to be graded they'll even buy stuff that's like bent in half they don't really care about the condition a whole lot compared to other people like other collectors of regular cards that are not misprinted so honestly that kind of led me to think maybe do not grade these for like 150 bucks because i think that the value raw is going to be even better anyway collection flex this is more of a sentimental meaning to me both of these cards are my favorite period i managed to pull these guys in 2019 the ioc packs for around 250 a pack and i pulled both the cd and bls from five packs forever an amazing memory and in my opinion quite the flex definitely amazing and it's definitely better luck than i've had for sure that's a super cool story maybe one day i can join you with the bls worth it or not to grade this first edition lob dark magician bought it for $500 two years ago could it be a ps8 10 so asking if it's ps8 10 is a good sign dark magician centering looks pretty good a little bit faded when you see that and you don't see any scratches or anything on that light that's really nice you can see that as well the front looks super good i remember checking this out the front is really nice very expensive card here's where the only real issue was this scratch right in a little bit of scuffing and i think there's some scratches on the right so that i mean this part looks really nice this part looks there's the scratches right there and then some right there so there is some light wear on it but honestly a very nice card back in the day you would have a much better chance of like maybe getting a 10 today you're not going to get a 10 on this but you do have a chance of the nine maybe the eight and because it's a first edition dark magician from legend of blue eyes this is a card worth grading even had an eight or a nine so i would definitely send this in really beautiful card as ruxen i've stumbled across the menizu card game i instantly thought it was kind of fishy by seeing these prices do you think it's a card game which just sells by hype with new surrounding c vaoki joining the metazoo team which has literally in my opinion his opinion on mine no value to bring in except his exposure this tcg feels more like a scheme than an actual game to me even the artwork reminds me of chin pokemon from south park or some pokemon parody from youtube what are your guys thoughts i'm not planning on buying this product i'm just curious what this is about so metazoo provides very strong opinions one way or another metazoo people are very into metazoo and they don't want you to trash or say anything about about it the other side is people think it's a scam like why would you pay so much for a new card game it's brand new i think it came out last year so it's only about a year maybe a year and a half old and the prices are very high which i did originally make a video on how high the pre sales or the sales were on the kickstarter which now they're way higher so if you didn't listen to me and bought something you actually made a lot of money i don't want to like bash the game because i don't know too much about it and i know that i will get flamed if i if i bash them and if you support them you also get flamed it's a controversial card game we're just gonna have to see what happens if it's all investor hype or if it's really the actual core fan base keeping up the prices because the prices are really high honestly hard to get into something so new that's it so expensive so i'm not gonna really give a really big opinion about it because i don't really necessarily care about metazoo too much maybe i will one day maybe we'll maybe we'll who knows maybe we'll get into it at some point i've never actually had the cards myself so i haven't had a chance to look at them so i can't really give a an opinion but you guys can let me know in the comments what you think about metazoo here's the last post worth it or not goes from the past bls soldier of chaos ghost rare no print lines or scratches on the foil on the back hasn't has a really unnoticeable print line in the seventh pick and has that glossed up on the top back of the card was wondering if it was worth sending to great express and i would want at least a nine okay so the front looks pretty good i think i kind of have to click through these so the back is where the real issues are on this card the okay the back looks good in that pick but here's an example of how a car can look really good in a picture without a video or other angle so you see this does this not look like a mint card you see anything wrong with this card i mean absolutely nothing and you go to this next pick look at that there's so the shingoli stuff that was on the ghost from the ghost from the past ghost rare there's a lot of ghosts in one sentence but yeah if you don't have multiple pictures make sure you get them if you're buying a card that's really expensive especially then there's more right here and then i think right no maybe it was right here yeah here's the print line right down that way it's very slight print line that small honestly you can you can get it in but with these shingle things it's probably like an eight or a nine at best so because it's only an eight to a nine and it's not that expensive of a card and if it gets eight to nine it probably won't gain much value nine maybe a little bit probably not an eight you would definitely not make any money so i would say keep this one either raw and sell it or keep it for your collection also the first time i did it there was a blue eyes alternative dragon here and it's not here anymore so i did say that one was not worth it by the way because i thought it looked like an eight to nine this is very similar to the one we just reviewed but i wanted to mention that because it was there in the last video and now it's not i don't know where it went so that's it for this video i had to record it twice but i think it's gonna be a lot better a lot easier to watch this time it's not as fun to not react initially but i want you guys to not have to like have your ears bleed because only you can only hear out of one ear which is annoying but before we leave i had to shout out my ultimate supporters on patreon and youtube so shout out to tcg trusted cards toe and foe show tomato juice stanley mike nance and mimic gecko thank you guys for supporting the channel and that's it for this video i will see you guys later peace i will jam


Hey everyone, welcome to Tutor Terrific. In this video, I'm going to give you my three keys to a successful tutoring session. Whether you're just starting out in tutoring, looking at tutoring for the first time because you're interested in helping students or you have many years' experience, it's important to understand that tutoring is an art form. It's something you can prepare for, practice at, and get better at in order to help students be successful. Throughout my 11 years of tutoring experience at the collegiate level, high school, and middle school level, I've found three important takeaways from my experience that lead to the success of my students' time and time again. The first thing is to come to a session and prepare. That's the most important. Now that looks different whether you're doing drop-in style tutoring or appointment style tutoring. For one-on-one appointment style tutoring, you need to do a good job in that introductory meeting and make it a priority to have one, whether that's over the phone with the parents or the student or in person. An introductory meeting can help set the stage for a great tutoring session. This can involve doing a little research about the school the students go to, knowing their teachers, knowing the school curriculum. But if you don't have access to that, ask a lot of questions of the parents. The parents and the students want to dive into that information because it helps them process their situation. And the more information you have, the better equipped you are for a successful first session. Your preparation may involve, if you can tell that the clients would like that, your content preparation before the session. If you sense that, ask the parents or students for study guides, syllabi, or homework examples from the class. This will help orient you perfectly to what they need right then at that first session. And always remember this, do not attempt to tutor a student in a subject you have not started, taken, or finished. This will set you up for failure and disaster in that first session when you look unprepared. Now, in a drop-in tutoring scenario, it's much harder to prepare because you don't have any prior notice of the students coming in. All they know is that the tutoring center you work at is there to help them. Now, what you need to do yourself to prepare for that is to make clear to the center which subjects you are prepared to tutor. Make sure these are classes or subjects you have already taken and excelled so that you yourself are equipped with that knowledge you need. In the drop-in tutoring scenario, there's less expectation, but they still want success. And again, do not tutor in subjects that you have never studied or finished. My second key to tutoring success is to make sure you act professionally in all interactions prior to the session. In that first introductory meeting or that first handshake, be comforting and confidence building. There are a lot of answers that these clients need or these potential clients need. In their initial inquiries, you need to be comforting and confidence building in your responses. You should also be upfront about your availability, your fees, your preferred locations for tutoring and your preferred session types. If you have this stuff organized, you look prepared to that first client or that new client that wants to work with you. Do not hesitate to refer to another tutor if you figure that you are unequipped to handle the requirements such as not having taken the class or not being able to meet their requirements for time and maybe they can't afford your fees. You will assume the confidence and the expertise in these situations when you have someone to refer to. So make sure you have that in your back pocket. Also, right before that first session, plan to arrive ahead of the appointment time at the location with all the materials you need. Make sure you know where to go and how to get there and it's somewhere you're familiar with. Make sure to have your whiteboard, your markers, your eraser, any agreements or contracts that need to be signed, pencils, erasers and water and even a snack so that you are energized and ready to focus on that student. Now my third and final key in this video to a successful tutoring session may be the most important. While it's important to be prepared and professional before the session, what happens during the session makes the largest impact. You need to focus on the 2-T, not yourself. The focus needs to be on the person you're helping so that they build confidence, not you. So be quick to listen and slow to speak. Now for extraverted 2-T's this will be easy to do because they'll want to talk a lot more and be heard. But introverts might need a little more help. Some questions you might have for them might help get the conversation going. Do not direct attention to your own abilities, your experience and your own accolades. This does not build confidence in the person you're helping. If you try and set up the situation where you are much higher above them in your abilities. I challenge you to try to match the personality as best you can to the 2-T. Matching personalities allows that student to feel more comfortable in the session. Now I know that's more difficult for some people than others, but again if you're focused on the 2-T you will do that to some degree naturally in order to help them and give them some success in their first session. And the highest priority for you is to find those and capitalize on those aha moments where they finally understand something. In either science, math, history, writing, whatever you're doing you can find those places to capitalize on those moments where something has clicked for them. And if you can get them to focus on the fact that they learned something or understood something for the first time you will have them understand that they're making improvements and are building their own confidence as they go. I hope you enjoyed this video on my three keys to successful tutoring session. If you have any questions or comments please leave a comment in the comment section below. Thank you guys so much for watching and look forward to more videos on this topic soon. This is Falconator signing out.
