Standards are Boring. Use Novelty! (ABYAY vs. Team Bidoof)

This battle was definitely one of a kind, and never in my life will I face another team like Team Bidoof's (Dancing Salamence's). This was more of a novelty battle, but hey, it was close in the end. Also, this would be one of the only matches I'd get without Sandstorm making things a trouble for modifying. It wasn't too long, and I loved it.

Location: ABYAY's Classic Shoddy Server
Time: Late (like...beyond midnight for me)

My Team

(You're in a lot of pain) (Rhysuperior) (Your Wife)
(mah BOOMSTICK!) (a duck that floats) (me a star)

Orange defines anything involving my Pokemon.
Blue is anything to do with Team Bidoof's Pokemon.
Green is for commentary
Anything that remains Black is Shoddy Text and Chatting.

Rules: Evasion Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Sleep Clause, Species Clause, Timed Battle

ABYAY sent out Yanmega.
Team Bidoof sent out Infernape.
Infernape used Fake Out.
Yanmega lost 16% of its health.
Yanmega flinched!

So here things start off nice and...weird? Fake Out on Infernape is something I've never witnessed, but hey, it breaks Sashes, it does its job.
---
Team Bidoof: Eatz it!
Team Bidoof switched in Heatran.
Yanmega used Air Slash.
It's not very effective...
Heatran lost 38% of its health.

The Fake Out opening basically shows that I stay in, and he goes to his Yanmega "counter" to eat an Air Slash. My Scarf Tinted Lens version deals an extra kick to it.
---
ABYAY switched in Starmie.
Heatran used Explosion.
Starmie lost 308% of its health.
ABYAY's Starmie fainted.
Team Bidoof's Heatran fainted.

Here's Heatran with a massive Explosion with enough nuclear force to actually OHKO Cressy, but Starmie takes it instead. Poor thing never stood a chance... It was a Choice Banded Heatran, constructed by Apostle, Beachboy, and a few others on a lone night on my server.

ABYAY - 5 / Team Bidoof - 5
---
ABYAY switched in Yanmega.
Team Bidoof switched in Bronzong.
Team Bidoof switched in Infernape.
Yanmega used Hypnosis.
Infernape fell asleep!

I guess he feared Hypnosis here, and that's exactly what I did.
---
ABYAY switched in Cresselia.
Infernape is fast asleep!

The floating duck goes to give Infernape the 2HKO with Psychic.
---
Infernape woke up!
Infernape used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around ABYAY's Team!
Cresselia used Psychic.
It's super effective!
Infernape lost 87% of its health.

To add onto the odd Ape set, there's Stealth Rock, and my spinner is gone, meaning Yanmega won't last too long.
---
ABYAY: I was kinda...no
ABYAY: I hate you
Team Bidoof: =D
ABYAY: mah spinner is dead

;_;...crying face.
---
Infernape used Encore.
Cresselia got an encore!
Cresselia used Psychic.
It's super effective!
Infernape lost 78% of its health.
Team Bidoof's Infernape fainted.

The first time I faced this thing, it literally ruined my game. I guess you could say Encore Ape > me, but this time my team's around with some improvements. I know what he's going to do next.

ABYAY - 5 / Team Bidoof - 4
---
Team Bidoof switched in Bronzong.
ABYAY switched in Blissey.
Pointed stones dug into Blissey.
Bronzong used Payback.
A critical hit!
Blissey lost 77% of its health.
Blissey's leftovers restored its health a little!

Ouch, that hurt a lot X_X...The Bronzong is actually Choice Banded, the 3rd novelty on the team. However, it's still less than 50%, so I can just Softboil it off.
---
Team Bidoof: pwnt
ABYAY: ow...
Team Bidoof: Whore got haxed

Yes she did
---
Team Bidoof switched in Lucario.
Blissey used Softboiled.
Blissey restored 50% of its health.
Blissey's leftovers restored its health a little!

I'm guessing SDLuke, just like 90% of Lucarios today.
---
Team Bidoof: darn it
Team Bidoof: This thing still has Agility

Oh?
---
ABYAY switched in Rhyperior.
Pointed stones dug into Rhyperior.
Lucario used Agility.
Lucario's speed was sharply raised.
Rhyperior's leftovers restored its health a little!

Wow, it's an Agililuke! I hope it's a physical variant...yes, I use Rhyperior you Rhyinferiors!
---
Rhyperior used Earthquake.
It's super effective!
Lucario lost 209% of its health.
Lucario hung on using its Focus Sash!
Lucario used Counter.
Rhyperior lost 129% of its health.
ABYAY's Rhyperior fainted.

There's another novelty for you: Agility threw me into an unsure sense of security, and I got Countered in the face for a lot.

ABYAY - 4 / Team Bidoof - 4

Team Bidoof: kthanxbai
ABYAY switched in Cresselia.
Pointed stones dug into Cresselia.

Team Bidoof switched in Bronzong.
Tyranitar has entered the room.
Cresselia used Reflect.
A barrier was formed!
Bronzong used Earthquake.
Cresselia makes ground moves miss with Levitate!
Cresselia's leftovers restored its health a little!

Overprediction on his side, but CBZong can't take on Cressy well anyway. I know he has to switch, so I decide to hit with any pummeling possible.
---
Team Bidoof: screw you
ABYAY: j00 got owned

So true
---
Team Bidoof switched in Mesprit.
Cresselia used Ice Beam.
Mesprit lost 18% of its health.
Cresselia's leftovers restored its health a little!

Okay, so Mesprit comes out, a very common rarity these days.
---
Team Bidoof: I see you is walled
Mesprit used U-turn.
It's super effective!
Cresselia lost 7% of its health.
Team Bidoof switched in Bronzong.
Cresselia used Ice Beam.
It's not very effective...
Bronzong lost 8% of its health.
Cresselia's leftovers restored its health a little!

I laugh at the minor damage thanks to Reflect.

Again, Reflect + Mass Defense > CBZong.

Team Bidoof: you shall eatz it
Team Bidoof: It still does 2. .-.
ABYAY: ROFLect
ABYAY switched in Lucario.
Pointed stones dug into Lucario.
Team Bidoof switched in Mesprit.

I've recently been playing around with Lucario, and I like what I have thus far...however, this specific variant is walled by Mesprit, which is a literal shame.
---
Team Bidoof: You is walled
ABYAY switched in Blissey.
Pointed stones dug into Blissey.
Mesprit used Psychic.
Blissey lost 12% of its health.
Blissey's special defence was lowered.
Blissey's reflect wore off!
Blissey's leftovers restored its health a little!

Who's walled now? The sp.def drop isn't going to hurt me much.
---
Team Bidoof switched in Garchomp.
Blissey used Seismic Toss.
Garchomp lost 28% of its health.
Blissey's leftovers restored its health a little!

GARCHOMP!!! I see one every game these days...I'm unsure of the variant, and Blissey has done its job enough, so...
---
Garchomp used Earthquake.
Blissey lost 64% of its health.
ABYAY's Blissey fainted.

That damage appears to resemble that of a Choice Scarf. Yanmega gets a free switch in...I hope.

ABYAY - 3 / Team Bidoof - 3
---
ABYAY switched in Yanmega.
Pointed stones dug into Yanmega.
Team Bidoof switched in Mesprit.
Yanmega used Bug Buzz.
It's super effective!
Mesprit lost 96% of its health.
Team Bidoof's Mesprit fainted.

And that switch was a bad one...Mesprit is actually Scarfed as well, as TB told me.

ABYAY - 3 / Team Bidoof - 2
---
Team Bidoof switched in Garchomp.
Team Bidoof: Now eat
Garchomp used Fire Blast.
It's super effective!
Yanmega lost 71% of its health.
ABYAY's Yanmega fainted.

Well, Yanmega eats, and I didn't want to risk Dragon Claw with Cressy due to it only being around half health. Yanmega has done enough anyway. That also proves that Chomp is Scarfed.

ABYAY - 2 / Team Bidoof - 2
---
ABYAY switched in Cresselia.
Pointed stones dug into Cresselia.
Team Bidoof switched in Bronzong.
Cresselia used Reflect.
A barrier was formed!
Cresselia's leftovers restored its health a little!

I knew he'd switch here, so Reflecting up will soften any blows I'd take.
---
Team Bidoof: You should log this
Team Bidoof: =)

I am right now aren't I?
---
ABYAY switched in Lucario.
Pointed stones dug into Lucario.
Bronzong used Gyro Ball.
It's not very effective...
Lucario lost 26% of its health.

CBZong still holds some power, as proven there. Without Reflect, that's a 2HKO, even if not very effective...then again, Lucario isn't defensive.
---
Team Bidoof switched in Garchomp.
Lucario used Close Combat.
Garchomp lost 75% of its health.
Team Bidoof's Garchomp fainted.
Lucario's defence and special defence were lowered.
Lucario lost 10% of its health.

Lucario just dropped a stick of dynamite onto Garchomp with that Close Combat, anticipating that I'd use Swords Dance.

ABYAY - 2 / TEAM BIDOOF - 1

Team Bidoof switched in Bronzong.
ABYAY: EAT MAH BOOMSTICK
Lucario used Close Combat.
Bronzong lost 64% of its health.

Lucario lost 10% of its health.
Bronzong used Gyro Ball.
It's not very effective...
Lucario lost 53% of its health.

Of course, I let Lucario hit the dust. He did plenty of damage to "hopefully" seal this game up.

Team Bidoof: =)
Team Bidoof: YAY
Team Bidoof: gg

So yeah, there you have it, one heck of a novelty battle without hax (OMG NO HAX!?), but it was pretty down to the wire, although I could've ensured an easy, but humorous victory by just stalling it out of PP with Rest. However, that's not fun.

This wasn't my best battle, I admit, but if you have fun, why question it? Enjoy it well.

Team Bidoof's...Team (In no specific order)

Gaps in the Defenses (ABYAY vs. D2Time)

Recently, I've been playing on the Underused ladder on Smogon with a team of mine that's currently in the top 50 (#35 to be precise), and it's only lost mainly due to hax.

I ran into D2Time in the ladder, and we threw down a quick round. What makes this special? Well, we've both learned something that will haunt us for a long while.


As always, orange text has regards to me and my Pokemon.

ABYAY sent out Scyther.
D2Time sent out Blastoise.
Scyther used U-turn.
Blastoise lost 33% of its health.
ABYAY switched in Vileplume.
Blastoise used Toxic.
Blastoise's leftovers restored its health a little!

Props to Syaoran for suggesting U-Turn. It has helped so much in my matches. Choice Band gives it a little more kick as I go to Vileplume to take whatever punishment that's being dealt, which, in this case, is Toxic.
---
D2Time switched in Venusaur.
Vileplume used Leech Seed.

Venusaur vs. Vileplume for the spot of the UU Grass/Poison type. Venu is at overall better, but I go Vileplume because it's so much cooler than a walking tree.
---
Venusaur used Sleep Powder.
Vileplume fell asleep!
Vileplume is fast asleep!

My only Rest/Sleep Talk Pokemon can't take on Venusaur, so I let Vileplume go and stall it out.
---
D2Time switched in Persian.
Vileplume woke up!
Vileplume used Sludge Bomb.
Persian lost 51% of its health.

A lucky quick wake-up gives Persian a nasty bite with Sludge Bomb.
---
Persian used Icy Wind.
It's super effective!
Vileplume lost 39% of its health.
Vileplume's speed was lowered.
Persian lost 10% of its health.
Vileplume used Sludge Bomb.
A critical hit!
Persian lost 39% of its health.
D2Time's Persian fainted.
Vileplume's leftovers restored its health a little!

I'm guessing it's a Boltbeamer Persian, using Icy Wind with Technician. Still, it can't do much to Vileplume, who finishes it off with a Sludge Bomb.

ABYAY - 6 / D2Time - 5

---
D2Time switched in Raichu.
ABYAY switched in Lanturn.
Raichu used Substitute.
Raichu lost 25% of its health.

Fearing Hidden Power, I go to Lanturn to take anything that Raichu can dish out except for a Focus Punch.
---
Raichu used Agility.
Raichu's speed was sharply raised.

ABYAY's Lanturn fainted.

Much more than I thought it would. OHKOing Lanturn.

But Claydol takes it like a champ. Forfeit before me Raichu, you have been bested.
---

ABYAY - 5 / D2Time - 4

---
D2Time switched in Venomoth.
ABYAY switched in Flareon.
D2Time switched in Sandslash.

Good play on his side to pull out my Venomoth counter, setting him for a free turn.
---
ABYAY switched in Claydol.
Sandslash used Swords Dance.
Sandslash's attack was sharply raised.
Claydol's leftovers restored its health a little!

As you will find out, I'm SD Sandslash weak. Watch as fireworks fly.
---
Sandslash used Night Slash.
It's super effective!
Claydol lost 77% of its health.
ABYAY's Claydol fainted.
Sandslash lost 10% of its health.

There's one, and I didn't expect it to be honest. I thought it would have done less.

Sandslash used Earthquake.
It's super effective!
Steelix lost 100% of its health.

There's two, slamming me apart piece by piece.

ABYAY switched in Vileplume.
Sandslash used Stone Edge.
A critical hit!
Vileplume lost 68% of its health.
ABYAY's Vileplume fainted.
Sandslash lost 10% of its health.

That critical probably messed me over. He was probably expecting a switch to Scyther, but still KO's Vileplume anyway.
---

ABYAY - 2 / D2Time - 4

---
ABYAY switched in Flareon.
Sandslash used Earthquake.
It's super effective!
Flareon lost 100% of its health.
ABYAY's Flareon fainted.
Sandslash lost 10% of its health.

There's four...I'm getting ripped apart. Therefore, it's time for my weapon to come out.
---

ABYAY - 1 / D2Time - 4

---
ABYAY switched in Scyther.
Scyther used Aerial Ace.
A critical hit!
Sandslash lost 60% of its health.
D2Time's Sandslash fainted.

After analyzing all of his team against me, I get to return some fire. I'd say that would've still KO'd without the critical hit though.
---

ABYAY - 1 / D2Time - 3

---
D2Time switched in Blastoise.
Scyther used Aerial Ace.
Blastoise lost 43% of its health.
Blastoise used Toxic.
Scyther was badly poisoned!
Scyther is hurt by poison!
Scyther lost 6% of its health.
Blastoise's leftovers restored its health a little!

His new strategy is to apparently try and Toxistall me. It's the power of a Choice Band Aerial Ace against his team.
---
Blastoise used Protect.
Blastoise protected itself!
Scyther used Aerial Ace.
Blastoise protected itself!
Scyther is hurt by poison!
Scyther lost 12% of its health.
Blastoise's leftovers restored its health a little!

Protect buys him a little bit of time, but his health is only at 41%, still not enough to survive a CB Aerial Ace again.
---
Scyther used Aerial Ace.
Blastoise lost 41% of its health.
D2Time's Blastoise fainted.
Scyther is hurt by poison!
Scyther lost 18% of its health.

He could've tried Protecting again, a crucial misplay on his side if Protect went through. Not only would he have survived the Aerial Ace, but he could've definitely stalled me out easily.

ABYAY - 1 / D2Time - 2

D2Time switched in Venusaur.
Scyther used Aerial Ace.
It's super effective!
Venusaur lost 100% of its health.

Venomoth lost 100% of its health.
D2Time's Venomoth fainted.
ABYAY wins!

...and that's checkmate.
---
D2Time: gg
ABYAY: gg

What did we both learn? Well, for me, I'm SD Sandslash weak, and D2Time is CB Scyther weak. However, I can revenge kill Sandslash if it decimates my team, as seen here, and give a return to a victory that is just amazing to behold.

Oh yeah, one thing I realized...All of his team was 1st generation! It played very well though, so I give him some credit for that.

Props and slops:

Props to:

• Scyther for decimating everything in its path
• Vileplume for early-game elimination
• Claydol for preventing Raichu from destroying me
• D2Time for the see-saw match

Slops to:

• Flareon and Steelix for dying instantly and doing nothing all game

Possession: Aquilae vs. Magmortified

First warstory here, constructive criticism is appreciated!

This battle is definitely not the best battle I had but certainly one of the closest and most fast-paced ones. :may:

I had just woke up early to catch Magmortified and complete my battle for the Team Trials tournament. I trembled in anticipation as I sent the challenge, knowing full well that Mag was a better battler than I was. The battle window popped up...
It was getting pretty late in the evening, and I was pretty much ready to go to bed... until a few messages told me that Aquilae was going to be on ABYAY's (at which point I could get the tourney battle over with). I didn't remember my experiences battling Aquilae earlier, so I went in not knowing what to expect. The battle would decide which of our teams would advance (since tennisace0227 was easy prey for Syaoran, and my other teammate, Bass, had already beaten Sikh Assassin). He came on in about five minutes. Breathing deeply, I bit the bullet, and challenged him.

Vance: EPIC BATTLE
Anti-Pop has entered the room.

Hmm, Salamence versus Gengar. At this point I was expecting a Hidden Power [Ice] or a Shadow Ball, since in my past battle with Mag he didn't use Sleep moves from the start, so I don't make the switch to Cresselia because it was at risk from Shadow Ball and it may be a SubGar. I switch to Metagross hoping to catch it with Life Orbed Pursuit / Bullet Punch, but..
I knew Aquilae had battled me before, but I was hoping his memory was as horrible as mine, and that he wasn't running a ScarfMence for some weird reason (like attempting to counter my lead. D:). I decided to take the risk and just use Hypnosis to take something out of the game. He may be sending in a Sleep Talker, but it's still not as effective when it's dozing.


Aquilae switched in Metagross.
Gengar used Hypnosis.
Metagross fell asleep!

Okay, this isn't good, I'm now down 5-6 after a bad play on my part. What makes this more infuriating was that I had a Sleep Absorber - Cresselia, though it was risky to switch it into Gengar, it wouldn't be completely dead weight after it was put to sleep.
Aw, man. Cool. I got a Metagross instead of a ReSTalker! I would've much preferred to send in my awesome Magnezone rather than waste Hypnosis on Metagross, but that's how the cookie crumbles (and I'd much prefer not having to deal with the potential Bullet Punch/Pursuit mindgame that Metagross would've forced on me, anyhow). Since Metagross is going nowhere fast, I decide to Sub up in preparation for something else.

Vance: This is going to be awesome
Vance: Aqui must log this
Aquilae switched in Zapdos.
Zapdos is exerting its pressure!
Gengar used Substitute.
Gengar lost 25% of its health.
Gengar made a substitute!
Gengar's leftovers restored its health a little!
Gengar restored 6% of its health.

I switch to ScarfZapdos to take a hit and surprise Gengar with a faster Thunderbolt. Metagross would be a better switch-in but unfortunately it was put to sleep.
Gengar Substitutes, revealing Leftovers, which meant that it wasn't an LO variant and uses Substitute to scout. I launch an attack:

I was really hoping I wouldn't have to see Zapdos, but I guess Aquilae just likes spiting me. Since I'm reasonably sure Aquilae isn't one to use Agility Passing Zapdos, I make the most of my Sub and aim a Shadow Ball.

Anti-Pop: Zappy <3
Zapdos used Thunderbolt.
The substitute took damage for Gengar!
Gengar's substitute faded!
Gengar used Shadow Ball.
Zapdos lost 52% of its health.

This should reveal that it was a ScarfZapdos. I expected a special wall or tank to switch in and sponge Zapdos, so I switch to ScarfChomp, which also isn't crippled badly if Gengar decides to stay in.

I was surprised to see Shadow Ball do so much damage to Zapdos. I took a halfhearted notice of Scarf (which I quickly forgot) and expected him to predict I'd send in something to wall the rest of Zapdos. So I Sub up again, betting a lot on Aqui switching (though I may as well have been drunk for all the memory I had of the incident later in the battle).

Apostle has entered the room.
Anti-Pop: bold?
Aquilae switched in Garchomp.
Gengar used Substitute.
Gengar lost 25% of its health.
Gengar made a substitute!

My gutsiness pays off! Garchomp comes in (presumably to try and beat the tar out of what I could've switched in). I have a Sub up, and safely lock on with another Shadow Ball.

Dark_Azelf: )_o
Vance: Scarf
Anti-Pop: oh right
ABYAY has entered the room.
Aquilae: hey
Anti-Pop: how'd i miss that lol
ABYAY: This is the match of the century.
Garchomp used Stone Edge.
A critical hit!
The substitute took damage for Gengar!
Gengar's substitute faded!
Gengar used Shadow Ball.
Garchomp lost 42% of its health.

I switch back to Zapdos to scout his switchin, since it was pretty obvious that Garchomp was Scarfed. Again I felt that Zapdos was the safest choice since it could use U-turn if it gains a favourable or unfavourable matchup, scouting potential switchins and causing a bit of damage.

Well, okay, I remember that that was Scarfed. Probably because I see a lot more ScarfChomps than I do Scarf Zapdos, and it's more likely to register. Anyhow, I don't want to press my luck, and just go to switch in my handy Rock resist: Magnezone (Metagross is snoozing anyways, so its main purpose is freed up).

Vance: 6-0 Gengar sweep? (uhhhh.....)
Aquilae: ...
Aquilae switched in Zapdos.
Zapdos is exerting its pressure!
Magmortified switched in Magnezone.

Magnezone can take on Zapdos easily, so I U-turn out to Tyranitar to sponge its attacks and beat it.
I feel good about this. Zapdos usually can't touch Magnezone, and if Aquilae had a Special sponge he'd probably have sent it in on Gar already (hopefully). I decide to Sub up for the inevitable switch.


Zapdos used U-turn.
It's not very effective...
A critical hit!
Magnezone lost 12% of its health.
Archer has entered the room.
Aquilae switched in Tyranitar.
Tyranitar's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!
A sandstorm brewed!
Magnezone used Substitute.
Magnezone lost 25% of its health.
Magnezone made a substitute!
Magnezone's leftovers restored its health a little!
Magnezone restored 6% of its health.

I Crunched since I did not want to get locked into Earthquake and let Magnezone Magnet Rise thus making it immune, and I did not want to become setup fodder for Garchomp assuming he has one. It didn't make a significant difference either way.

Blegh. This is a risky situation. With a Sub up, I could easily knock down Tar's HP with Thunderbolt. On the other hand, it may also be an invitation for DDTar to come busting down my door. I take the risk and Thunderbolt anyways.


Magnezone used Thunderbolt.
Tyranitar lost 33% of its health.

Tyranitar used Crunch.

Magnezone lost 30% of its health.

Hokay, so, it's apparently not DDTar. I chalk up Crunch breaking the Substitute (since I'm so trusting in Magnezone's Defense) to the crit U-Turn I got earlier (Aquilae: It hit before the Substitute =P), but I want to make sure, since I'm aware of how strong Tar is. Since it's 99% likely to be CB, I feel fine using Tbolt again.

Apostle: >:<
Anti-Pop: lol

Magnezone used Thunderbolt.
Tyranitar lost 29% of its health.
Tyranitar used Crunch.
It's not very effective...
Magnezone lost 35% of its health.

At this point I thought that Mag was sacrificing Magnezone and shaving off a big chunk of HP from Tyranitar in the process, so I go to Garchomp on the Thunderbolt to down it. 38% is better than Tyranitar being at critical health anyway.

Well, Tar's tough enough to break a Sub on its own, I guess. D: I decide to have Magnezone go for broke and just take most of Tar down with it. Sadly, I make a huge prediction mistake. It should've been obvious that Aquilae would send in Garchomp when I have an unSubbed Magnezone slinging Tbolts around. Accurses.

Aquilae switched in Garchomp.
Magnezone used Thunderbolt.
It doesn't affect Garchomp...

Except that Garchomp didn't have Fire Blast as I had accidentally placed Stone Edge over it.. =/
I have no choice but to Outrage to down Magnezone.

I just decided to sacrifice Magnezone, since it was obviously a ScarfChomp. Fire Blast would let me get in Gyarados or Swampert, while Earthquake would give Gengar an easy time switching in (and that really caused problems for Aquilae earlier in the match). I must say I really wasn't expecting an Outrage. But I guess I shouldn't really be complaining, since it was just asking for a revenge-kill.

6-5 Aquilae



Magmortified switched in Gyarados.
Gyarados's intimidate cut Garchomp's attack!

I'm locked into Outrage, so I have no choice but to continue attacking...

It's a -1 ScarfChomp Outrage. I'm pretty confident with Gyarados' defenses, so I decide to end the misery and use Ice Fang, since it'd leave my Scarfed Gyarados in the best position to attack Salamence and Zapdos (here's where I forget that Zapdos is also Scarfed) after Chomp dies.

Garchomp used Outrage.
Gyarados lost 59% of its health.

No Leftovers or LO, it should be choiced, so I bring in an Ice resist, Tyranitar, to inflict more damage.

EDIT:

Mag said:

Rock don't resist Ice, foo!

Click to expand...

Oof. More damage than I was expecting. Curse you, Garchomp. Even though Tar's at about 30%, I don't think a weak unSTAB'd Ice Fang would do the job, so I make the switch.

And, for the record, Aquilae, Rock don't resist Ice, foo!

Swampert restored 6% of its health.

Hmm, he didn't give Swampert enough Def EVs to survive CBtar's Crunch, so I Crunch again for the kill.
I was kind of hoping for a Stone Edge, but I guess I haven't really given Aquilae enough reason to use it. I'm using a Curse Swampert, so, sadly, I didn't stock up on needed Defense EVs.

Vance: Death fodder? =[
Tyranitar used Crunch.
Swampert lost 63% of its health.

5-4 Aquilae



Swampert down means Zapdos and Metagross will have an easier time, assuming the latter wakes up though >_> It should have been EV'd in SpD so I guess its easier to sweep with Mence now too.

Nooooooo. My best way to take down Zapdos... dead! D:

Magmortified switched in Gengar.

Hmm, Gengar, I don't want to risk Zapdos being KOed with another Shadow Ball, so I went to Salamence to attempt to beat Gengar (no good switchins besides that at this point). Salamence also resists Focus Blast if he decided to use it.

Here's where I make this really gutsy move, only to waste it by making the predictable move. I was thinking that Aquilae'd anticipate another Sub or something and stay in for at least one more round, but I guess no dice.

Anti-Pop: i thoguht garchomp was unbeatable said match disappoints me =(
Archer: Seems that way.
Archer: CB, though
Archer: I assume.

A little luck on my side is always nice, right now I don't want to risk giving a free switchin for Gyarados, so I Draco Meteor Gengar.

Ah, well, miss didn't matter too much in the end. I'm worried about this being a DDMence, since that'd kill me off right now. I'll just suicide Gengar and hope for the best (though I really should've subbed, which'd help for scouting. Note to self: Stop battling when it's late. You're stupid past 8:30.

Note to everybody: Battle Mag only when its past 8:30

Salamence's Draco Meteor demolishes Gengar, and I keep my advantage..
If I had FB'ed I wouldn't have got the SpA drop, oh well.

Thank the Lord, it's only MixMence! Though I would've liked SpecsMence a lot better, I guess I can't be choosy. I send in Gyarados, to revenge-kill the thing, since it's half-dead anyways (is saving Chomp for the end-game).



5-3 Aquilae

Magmortified switched in Gyarados.
Gyarados's intimidate cut Salamence's attack!

Hmm, either Banded or Scarfed. If it was Scarfed I expect Waterfall or Earthquake to hit Metagross and Tyranitar on the switchin, so I kept Salamence in. I didn't think of Stone Edge at this point =/

Based on what I knew of Aquilae's team, Stone Edge seemed the best move. So I'd just let it fly, and see if Aquilae's going to bring out any new surprises, or if my Gyarados could feast on Mence-flesh.

Awwww... crap. That's horrible. Now I have to put Chomp in the line of fire, when I should be saving it for the very end.

A critical hit!
Salamence lost 317% of its health.
Aquilae's Salamence fainted.

4-2 Aquilae

I didn't want to switch in Cresselia as right now the SDYache or CB variants would down it, so I stay in hoping to catch it on the setup with Draco Meteor or sacrifice Mence - although I am unable to KO it, I can bring in Zapdos to revenge-kill it.

Well, that did me some good, since MixMence could've done horrifying damage after I switched Chomp out.

Aquilae switched in Zapdos.
Zapdos is exerting its pressure!

Okay, I have the game in the bag right now...
It's not that I remember this thing is Scarfed, it's that I saw it as a good oppurtunity to clean up using DDTar.

Magmortified switched in Tyranitar.
Tyranitar's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!
Zapdos used Hidden Power.
Tyranitar lost 15% of its health.
The sandstorm rages.
Zapdos is buffetted by the sandstorm!
Zapdos lost 6% of its health.

Arrgh! This is about the worst thing that can happen to me right now, and I don't think I can win with Garchomp down.

Whoo! Okay, then. DD up, and we'll be rocking.

Anti-Pop: U GOT HAX DERE DAT MAKE UP 4 IT
Vance: DDANCE
Aquilae switched in Metagross.
Tyranitar used Dragon Dance.
Tyranitar's attack was raised.
Tyranitar's speed was raised.

I switch in Metagross in anticipation of a Choiced variant, but it turns out to be a Dragon Dance Tyranitar. If it setups once more my whole team would be swept. Wake up... Wake up...

He sends me bait. I really don't want to risk Dragon Dancing a second time, since Metagross waking up could spell instant death. I decide to play it safe and kill it outright.

Aquilae: crap
Dark_Azelf: gg lol
Aquilae: its gg for me now
Tyranitar used Earthquake.
It's super effective!
A critical hit!
Metagross lost 254% of its health.
Aquilae's Metagross fainted.

Okay, its Life-Orbed, which means I might have a chance to win if I wear it down and conserve Zapdos for Garchomp..

I rack up the damage on Tyranitar by throwing U-turn at it, and go to Cresselia. If Tyranitar uses an attack again, I have a chance... Eww... I should've remembered that U-Turn's pretty much the only reason he'd send Zapdos out at me (well, that and it's Scarfed). If I had Dragon Danced again it would have been an uncontested gg. *Slaps self*

Tyranitar used Crunch.

And here I am wondering why he didn't send that out a lot earlier.

Dark_Azelf: olol

Aquilae switched in Zapdos.
Zapdos is exerting its pressure!
Magmortified: Is that Zapdos Scarfed or something?
Dark_Azelf: yes
Dark_Azelf: it is
Anti-Pop: lol
Magmortified: If so I'm screwed.
Dark_Azelf: scarfed
Zapdos used Thunderbolt.
Tyranitar lost 33% of its health.
Magmortified's Tyranitar fainted.

Thunderbolt finally downs the beast, and I have a decent chance of winning now. In hindsight I should have used U-turn incase Garchomp switched in, Tar would die from LO recoil if it attacked anyway.

And only now do I remember. Dam. It comes down to Garchomp. I know it can kick his Tar's ass, but Scarf Zapdos will pretty much end me after that.



2-1 Aquilae

Magmortified switched in Garchomp.
Aquilae switched in Tyranitar.
Garchomp used Outrage.
Garchomp went on a rampage!
Tyranitar lost 73% of its health.
Aquilae's Tyranitar fainted.

I brought in Tyranitar to serve as death fodder as Zapdos was locked into Thunderbolt.

Rrgh, I are doomed, I think to myself. Tar's going to suicide, leaving a Scarfed HP Ice to take me down. I pray to the hax gods, which had already done suitable punishment to me in the form of a missed Stone Edge (along with a missed Focus Blast, but... well...). I put faith in Chomp's bulkyness and the power of Sand Veil hax. Manifest my beliefs, Shoddybattle!

PARTY TIME. I hang on and win with just 3% left in the tank. Truly, truly epic. Thank you, Chomp's bulkyness, and hax gods.

Guys, you have seen the "You stole my Arbok Analysis" thread right? Well, BB said he would knife me if I do not use that very teamI was testing this out until I noticed the majority of the time Dark_Azelf was away, blocking all outside challenges and showing off his almighty admin powers.

Therefore, I decided to test aforementioned team on him, and he reluctantly accepted. =/ One may note that if you were on the server at the time, it was the 2nd battle we had. The first one had Shoddy glitch on us by making him switch in one of his pokes when he clicked another. =[ Plus I forgot to save the log...

The second time was much better, hence why I'm logging it. ^_^

Please enjoy the battle. Also, feel free to complain about anything, especially the battle, I myself felt I had a bit too much hax. =/

Feel free to complain about font colors as well. ;)


Blue represents Dark_Azelf's side of the field, and he's a very lovable mod. ^_^

Maroon represents my side of the field, and I must say I'm just an ordinary battler. ;)

Purple represents my commentary for the match, although I probably would not say much. =[

Also, do note this color represents who's winning currently.

Lucario lost 256% of its health.
Team Bidoof's Lucario fainted.
Dark_Azelf wins!
ABYAY: Flish plz
Dark_Azelf: GG lol
Team Bidoof: gg
Crazed_One: lol
Dark_Azelf has left the room.
ABYAY has left the room.

.....And his Luke =).

Final Result:
0-3 Dark_Azelf


Well, that was a very good battle. Except for the hax I got, I feel so sorry for all of it, seriously. Focus Blast missing, I waking up in 2 turns and getting a critical and stuff like that.

D_A truly deserved the win, and he received it. <3

Well this was a decent match, not the best but still decent. I feel this, the third of 3 offensive teams ive made has ended my "team building block" and yes, the other two team work aswell. So i suggest you dont prepare for this one solely or you will gets a surprize >=).

Hax is annoying, but meh it happens, if i had of lost because of it then yes, i would of been mad lol

GG TB


Also, Dark_Azelf's team shall NOT be revealed, by his own request. =)

No you wont lol

Spoiler:

LOL YOU ALL FELL FOR IT NUBS

Props
~ Dark_Azelf for providing a fantastic match.
~ Making Infernape wall something.
~ Dark_Azelf again for using Taunt weak Scarf Gengar. :P


Slops
~ Hax for stepping in and ruining the match. =/
~ Dark_Azelf for using a darn AgiliLuke instead of Swords Dance Luke. >=[
~ TB for being a noob

Please note the bolded slop is just Dark_Azelf's bias perfectly uninfluenced opinion.

husk sent out Absol
Vance sent out Aerodactyl
Aerodactyl is exerting its pressure!
Absol is exerting its pressure!
husk switched in Claydol
Aerodactyl used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around your foe's team!
---
The battle starts, and already I see a huge problem; Absol. Since I love the thing, I know it always carries Sucker Punch. Luckily for me, my Aero's main job is to set up Stealth Rock, and Taunt any set ups. It also has a sash, so I have a pretty good chance of killing it as well. Unfortunately, he sends in Claydol, who not only walls me, but will Rapid Spin away my SR, breaking my sash, and then set up it's own rocks.
---
Aerodactyl used Taunt.
Claydol fell for the taunt!
Claydol used Stealth Rock.
Claydol can't use Stealth Rock after the taunt!
---
Lucky me, I predict it to set up rocks, and I Taunt it. I expect Rapid Spin, so it's time to go to my spin blocker...Unfortunately...

husk switched in Miltank
Pointed stones dug into Miltank.
Miltank lost 12% of its health.
Vance switched in Rotom
---
Gah Miltank. Since most Miltanks run Thick Fat, I should've been feeling safe, but I didn't want to lose Rotom this early. I'm pretty sure Scrappy EQ will OHKO, so I'll go to my ground immunity.

vs.

husk switched in Claydol
Pointed stones dug into Claydol.
Claydol lost 6% of its health.
Vance switched in Aerodactyl
Aerodactyl is exerting its pressure!
---
Again Claydol. I'm guessing he's going for Rapid Spin, but he could outpredict that and use Stealth Rock, so I want to Taunt him to be safe.
---
Aerodactyl used Taunt.
Claydol fell for the taunt!
Claydol used Ice Beam.
It's super effective!
Aerodactyl lost 100% of its health.
Aerodactyl hung on using its Focus Sash!
Aerodactyl was frozen solid!
---
;_; Why must I be the victim of hax? I live with my sash, but getting frozen solid is really a stab to the gut. Nothing much I can do now. Aero doesn't have much more chance of living, since if he Stealth Rocks later, I'm dead, so I might as well let my sky menace die.
---
Aerodactyl was defrosted!
Aerodactyl used Stone Edge.
It's not very effective...
Claydol lost 20% of its health.
Claydol used Ice Beam.
It's super effective!
Aerodactyl lost 0% of its health.
Vance's Aerodactyl fainted.
---
My hax counters back, but doesn't do much. 20% isn't going to make a difference. At this time, I'm questioning why he doesn't have any Leftovers...

Vance switched in Sharpedo
husk switched in Toxicroak
Pointed stones dug into Toxicroak.
Toxicroak lost 6% of its health.
Sharpedo used Hydro Pump.
Toxicroak's Dry Skin absorbed damage!
Toxicroak restored 6% of its health.
---
Gah...husk made an awesome prediction here. Sort of risky, since I could've Ice Beam'd, but he guessed that STAB Surf/Hydro Pump was a safer option ._.
---

vs.

Vance switched in Rotom
Toxicroak used Vacuum Wave.
It doesn't affect Rotom...
---
I sure did dodge a bullet there! More like...a Vacuum. I'm assuming it's the NP Set, so I don't really know if I want to stay in to let it set up. I also don't want that thing running around with it's respectable speed, so it's time to hand out some paralysis.

vs.

husk switched in Venusaur
Pointed stones dug into Venusaur.
Rotom used Discharge.
It's not very effective...
Venusaur lost 16% of its health.
---
Venusaur comes in to absorb the Discharge. Great. I bet it's either Specs or Scarf, since it lacks any Leftovers.
---
Venusaur used Sleep Powder.
Venusaur's attack missed!
Rotom used Shadow Ball.
Venusaur lost 29% of its health.
---
I know for a fact that it's Scarf, since only that set has Sleep Powder. A little hax there, but nothing that Venusaur can handle.
---
Venusaur used Sleep Powder.
Rotom fell asleep!
Rotom is fast asleep!
---
Rotom is a Rest-Talker, so I don't worry about Sleep Powder whatsoever. I'll just stay here and play the stall game with him.

vs.

husk switched in Claydol
Pointed stones dug into Claydol.
Rotom woke up!
Rotom used Sleep Talk.
But it failed!

Early wake up. Nothing much.

Rotom used Shadow Ball.
It's super effective!
Claydol lost 44% of its health.
Claydol used Stealth Rock.

Since Aero isn't alive anymore, I can't Taunt it, but I can deal out Super Effective Shadow Balls...That with STAB,can only 3HKO T__T

Pointed stones dug into Absol.
Rotom used Shadow Ball.
It's not very effective...
Absol lost 24% of its health.

Oh god. I knew this guy was alive, but I didn't pay any mind to it. Absol has so many things to hurt me; Psycho Cut, Sucker Punch, Night Slash. I decided to attack, for some dumb reason.
---
Absol used Pursuit.
It's super effective!
Rotom lost 40% of its health.
Rotom used Discharge.
A critical hit!
Absol lost 64% of its health.
husk's Absol fainted.
Rotom's leftovers restored its health a little!
---
Oh wow...I get some crit hax, which actually worked out for me. I'm assuming that's CB Absol, since I stayed it and it STILL 3HKO's.
---

vs.

husk switched in Venusaur
Pointed stones dug into Venusaur.
Venusaur used Leaf Storm.
Rotom lost 66% of its health.
Vance's Rotom fainted.
Venusaur's special attack was harshly lowered.
---
Okay, my assumption of it being Scarf was wrong. Leaf Storm 2HKOing Rotom is BEASTLY. So I'm thinking it's Choice Specs, but I could still be wrong. Better bring in something I know can outspeed it.
---

vs.

Vance switched in Sharpedo
Pointed stones dug into Sharpedo.
Sharpedo used Ice Beam.
It's super effective!
Venusaur lost 31% of its health.

He lets his Venusaur become death fodder, a pretty good move since now he has a safe switch into...

Pointed stones dug into Drapion.
Miltank used Frustration.
Drapion lost 51% of its health.
Miltank lost 10% of its health.
---
...Miltank T__T. I guess it really does have Thick Fat, or else he wouldn't brought it in. Nevertheless, I send in Drapion to take a hit, only to find out this thing is a BEAST. Angry Cow! But seriously, LO Miltank is news to me, and man did it hurt.

Miltank used Milk Drink.
Miltank restored 35% of its health.
Drapion used Night Slash.
Miltank lost 42% of its health.
Drapion lost 10% of its health.

He Milk Drinks, and since I saw how much that did, I wasn't going to switch out anything just to die. Night Slash does a respectable amount...But it's just not enough...

Miltank used Frustration.
A critical hit!
Drapion lost 27% of its health.
Vance's Drapion fainted.
Miltank lost 10% of its health.

Ouch crit ;_; It wouldn't made a difference whatsoever. That Miltank is packing some serious power, and I don't know if my Hitmonlee can outspeed it. When in doubt, trust Sharpedo.

Vance switched in Sharpedo
Pointed stones dug into Sharpedo.
Sharpedo used Hydro Pump.
Miltank lost 48% of its health.
husk's Miltank fainted.

That slab of beef was dealt with soundly thanks to Sharpedo. This is good, because now that it's dead, I'm almost sure that I can pull through with a victory.

Jynx restored 6% of its health.

Jynx used Lovely Kiss.

[Insert Witty Title Related to Battle Here]

Monsters in the Mirrors

So I was very bored and when johnny asked for an Ubers battle, I jumped on it. I don't have an Ubers team since I detest that tier for the most part, so I randomly picked one of my OU teams and challenged him. The battle that ensued turned out to be one of the most fun I had ever had. Enjoy!

Apostle's Team


Rules
` Evasion Clause
` Freeze Clause
` OHKO Clause
` Sleep Clause

.............................................

johnny sent out Mewtwo.
Apostle sent out Gardevoir.
Mewtwo is exerting its pressure!
Gardevoir traced Mewtwo's Pressure!
Gardevoir is exerting its pressure!

This was a pretty even match up in my eyes. I knew that even a Specs strike couldn't OHKO Gardevoir, so I felt it was safe to keep her in.

Mewtwo used Shadow Ball. (It's super effective!)
Gardevoir lost 76% of its health.
Gardevoir used Trick Room.
Gardevoir twisted the dimensions!
Gardevoir's leftovers restored its health a little!
(Gardevoir / 30%)

As I predicted, Gardevoir survived a super effective hit and was able to set up Trick Room. Since there was no recoil, I'm 100% sure its Spec'd so time to do some damage with the beast on this team.

Apostle switched in Snorlax.
Mewtwo used Shadow Ball. (It doesn't affect Snorlax...)

CBlax comes in for the kill.

Snorlax used Pursuit. (It's super effective!)
Mewtwo lost 82% of its health.
johnny switched in Groudon.
Groudon's Drought intensified the sun's rays! (The sun began to shine!)
The sun continues to shine.
(Mewtwo / 18%)

The sun will continue to shine for the rest of the battle!

I didn't realize Mewtwo was capable of surviving that, but at least it's in definitely KO range in the future. Anyway, stuck in Pursuit against the beastly Groudon left me in an unfavorable position. So I decided to make a very risky switch.

Apostle switched in Camerupt.
Groudon used Swords Dance.
Groudon's attack was sharply raised.
(Groudon / +2 attack)

I knew this meant life or death for my little camel friend. It can't do squat in Ubers (this was before I had Eruption on it mind you) and I knew I could very well switch it into an OHKO if Groudon used Earthquake. Luckily, I switched in on Swords Dance. I knew my team couldn't survive a +2 Attack Groudon, so I decided to do what Camerupt does best.

Camerupt used Explosion.
Groudon lost 131% of its health.
johnny's Groudon fainted.
Apostle's Camerupt fainted.
The twisted dimensions returned to normal!

5 All

Boom. I thought possibly Fire Blast could of done more damage with the sun up and it hitting Groudon's weaker Defense stat, but I decided to go for the assured kill. Afterwards I ran some damage calcs and Fire Blast would of done damage in the 80%~ range, so I'm glad I went with Explosion.

johnny switched in Ho-oh.
Apostle switched in Snorlax.
Ho-oh is exerting its pressure!
Ho-oh used Earthquake.
Snorlax lost 49% of its health.
Snorlax used Return.
Ho-oh lost 88% of its health.
(Snorlax / 51%)
(Ho-oh / 12%)

I have to admit I was a little worried about this match up. I had no idea what was coming, but I figured Snorlax could survive anything Ho-oh through my way with Snorlax at full health. I figured he wouldn't use Sacred Fire with the risk of Thick Fat and his other attacks wouldn't OHKO, so I went for what I hoped was the kill. Unfortunately, that didn't happen and I was left in a dangerous position. I figured the Ho-oh was probably Choice Banded since there was no Leftovers recovery or Life Orb recoil, so I figured my next switch would be a safe one.

Apostle switched in Tangrowth.
Ho-oh used Earthquake. (It's not very effective...)
Tangrowth lost 14% of its health.
Tangrowth's leftovers restored its health a little!
(Tangrowth / 92%)

Paltry damage on my loveable sack of vines. I prayed my guess about CB was right or I was about to have a dead sack of vines on my hands.

johnny switched in Regice.
Tangrowth used Sleep Powder.
Regice fell asleep!
Tangrowth's leftovers restored its health a little!
(Regice / sleep condition)
(Tangrowth / 98%)

I wasn't sure if I should of used Leech Seed or Sleep Powder. I went with option two. Regice... in ubers... yeah.

Regice is fast asleep!
Regice used Sleep Talk.
Regice used Ice Beam. (It's super effective!)
Tangrowth lost 97% of its health.
Tangrowth used Leech Seed.
Regice was seeded!
Regice's health was sapped by leech seed! (-12%)
Tangrowth regained health! (+11%)
Tangrowth's leftovers restored its health a little!
(Regice / 88% / Asleep)
(Tangrowth / 18%)

Apostle: Wow
Apostle: How did that not KO

As I said above, I don't know how Tangrowth survived that. I don't mind since I got a Leech Seed in. Time for a switch though since I can't risk another Ice Beam.

Apostle switched in Raikou.
Raikou is exerting its pressure!
Regice is fast asleep!
Regice used Sleep Talk.
Regice used Ice Beam.
Raikou lost 32% of its health.
The sun continues to shine.
Raikou & Regice's leftovers restored its health a little!
Regice's health was sapped by leech seed! (-12%)
Raikou regained health! (+13%)
(Raikou / 87%)
(Regice / 82%)

Raikou can handle whatever the block of ice can throw at it. I predicted a switch was coming and even it wasn't, nothing Regice could do would phase me.

johnny switched in Deoxys-|.
Deoxys-| is exerting its pressure!
Raikou used Substitute.
Raikou lost 25% of its health.
Raikou made a substitute!
Raikou's leftovers restored its health a little!
(Raikou / 68% / Substitute up)

Forgot about this form. With all of the attention on the Attack and Speed form, the Defense form doesn't really cross my mind all that much. I had no idea what to expect.

Raikou used Calm Mind.
Raikou's special attack & defense was raised.
Deoxys-| used Seismic Toss.
The substitute took damage for Raikou!
Raikou's substitute faded!
Raikou's leftovers restored its health a little!
(Raikou / 74% / SpAtk +1, SpDef +1)

Ew... Oh how I wish Raikou had Base 100 HP. This kind of ruined my plans to set up on it.

Raikou used Calm Mind.
Raikou's special attack & defense was raised.
Deoxys-| used Toxic.
Raikou was badly poisoned!
Raikou's leftovers restored its health a little!
Raikou is hurt by poison! (-6%)
(Raikou 74% - SpAtk +2, SpDef +2 - Poisoned)

I should of Substitute'd like I planned on originally. This seriously dampered my chances of sweeping with Raikou.

Raikou used Calm Mind.
Raikou's special attack & defense was raised.
Deoxys-| used Wrap.
Raikou lost 3% of its health.
Raikou was wrapped!
Raikou's leftovers restored its health a little!
Raikou is hurt by poison and Wrap! (-18%)
(Raikou 59% - SpAtk +3, SpDef +3 - Poisoned / Wrapped)

I don't know Ubers at all, so I have no idea if Wrap is common or not. Either way, I was perplexed. I decided to go for one more Calm Mind to set up some major damage.

Raikou used Thunderbolt. (A critical hit!)
Deoxys-| lost 154% of its health.
johnny's Deoxys-| fainted.
Raikou's leftovers restored its health a little!
Raikou is hurt by poison! (-19%)
Raikou was released from Wrap!
(Raikou 46% - SpAtk +3, SpDef +3 - Poisoned)

5 - 4

Critical hit to finish off Deoxys. I was getting low on health, so no more Calm Minds in my future. Time to go out with my guns blazing.

johnny switched in Ho-oh.
Ho-oh is exerting its pressure!
Raikou used Thunderbolt. (It's super effective!)
Ho-oh lost 145% of its health.
johnny's Ho-oh fainted.
The sun continues to shine.
Raikou's leftovers restored its health a little!
Raikou is hurt by poison! (-25%)
(Raikou / 27% / SpAtk +3, SpDef +3 / Poisoned)

5 - 3

I expected Mewtwo to make an appearance, but got the slower, Electric-weak Ho-oh instead. O_o; No matter. Easy kill for me.

johnny switched in Regice.
Raikou used Thunderbolt.
Regice lost 43% of its health.
Regice is fast asleep!
Regice used Sleep Talk.
Regice used Charge Beam. (It's not very effective...)
Raikou lost 2% of its health.
Regice's special attack was raised.
Raikou's leftovers restored its health a little!
Raikou is hurt by poison! (-31%)
Regice's leftovers restored its health a little!
(Raikou 1% / SpAtk +3, SpDef +3 / Poisoned)
(Regice 45% / SpAtk +1 / Asleep)

I'm really surprised that didn't do more damage. I'm guessing it was heavily invested in HP and Special Defense due to the amount of Special Attack based Powers in Ubers (see, I know something about Ubers).

Raikou used Thunderbolt.
Regice lost 40% of its health.
Regice is fast asleep!
Regice used Sleep Talk.
Regice used Charge Beam. (It's not very effective...)
Raikou lost 4% of its health.
Apostle's Raikou fainted.
Regice's special attack was raised.
Regice's leftovers restored its health a little!
(Regice / 11% / SpAtk +2 / Asleep)

4 - 3

Kind of disappointed I didn't get another kill, but I took this chance to come in and set up my final sweep safely.

Apostle switched in Gardevoir.
Gardevoir traced Regice's Clear Body!
Regice woke up!
Regice used Sleep Talk. (But it failed!)
Gardevoir used Trick Room.
Gardevoir twisted the dimensions!
Regice's & Gardevoir's leftovers restored its health a little!
(Regice / 17% / SpAtk +2)
(Gardevoir / 36%)

Thank God he woke up. Though, I'm sure Gardevoir would of survived anything Regi-IDONTBELONGINUBERS threw at her. Trick Room makes an appearance again.

Regice used Rest.
Regice fell asleep!
Regice restored 84% of its health.
Gardevoir used Focus Blast. (It's super effective!)
Regice lost 31% of its health.
Regice's & Gardevoir's leftovers restored its health a little!
(Regice / 75% / SpAtk +2)
(Gardevoir / 42%)

Should of guessed Regice would still be faster than Gardevoir even with Quiet, 0 EVs, and 0 IVs. Oh well, puts it in definite KO range for my next Pokemon.

Apostle switched in Snorlax.
Regice is fast asleep!
Regice used Sleep Talk.
Regice used Charge Beam.
Snorlax lost 13% of its health.
Regice's special attack was raised.
Regice's leftovers restored its health a little!
(Regice / 81% / SpAtk +3)
(Snorlax / 38%)

The closest thing I have to a Special Wall comes in to absorb Charge Beam.

Snorlax used Return.
Regice lost 72% of its health.
Regice is fast asleep!
Regice used Sleep Talk.
Regice used Charge Beam.
Snorlax lost 16% of its health.
Regice's special attack was raised.
Regice's leftovers restored its health a little!
(Regice / 15% / SpAtk +4)
(Snorlax 22%)


Really surprised that didn't KO. O_O I know I can KO Regice if he decides to stay in like I predicted.

[
Snorlax used Return.
Regice lost 68% of its health.
johnny's Regice fainted.
The twisted dimensions returned to normal!

4 - 2

Trick Room never lasts as long as it should. Where's its duration extending item Game Freak. WHERE!? >:o Oh well, got that block of ice out of the way. Who would of guessed that would of lasted the longest of all of his Pokemon.

johnny switched in Mewtwo.
Mewtwo is exerting its pressure!
Apostle switched in Gardevoir.
Gardevoir traced Mewtwo's Pressure! (Gardevoir is exerting its pressure!)
Mewtwo used Aura Sphere. (It's not very effective...)
Gardevoir lost 22% of its health.
Gardevoir's leftovers restored its health a little!
(Gardevoir / 26%)

I knew an Aura Sphere was coming and I hoped that when I switched in Gardevoir it would survive. Luckily it did and since another Aura Sphere wouldn't KO, a switch was almost definite.

johnny switched in Latios.
Gardevoir used Trick Room.
Gardevoir twisted the dimensions!
Gardevoir's leftovers restored its health a little!
(Gardevoir / 32%)

Ouch. His final Pokemon appears. And a dangerous one at that. Luckily, I still got Trick Room in. Time to sacrifice my maiden.

Gardevoir used Wish.
Gardevoir made a wish!
Latios used Dragon Pulse.
Gardevoir lost 65% of its health.
Apostle's Gardevoir fainted.

3 - 2

Got the Wish. I kind of regretted this in the end however.

Apostle switched in Omastar.
Omastar used Ice Beam. (It's super effective!)
Latios lost 56% of its health.
Omastar lost 10% of its health.
Latios used Grass Knot. (It's super effective!)
Omastar lost 224% of its health.
Apostle's Omastar fainted.
(Latios / 44%)

2 - 2

Stupid Soul Dew. Either way, I knew it was in definite KO range and if Trick Room lasted long enough, I knew I had the battle in the bag.

Apostle switched in Snorlax.
Snorlax used Return.
Latios lost 104% of its health.
johnny's Latios fainted.

2 - 1

YES! Trick Room lasted another turn. The battle was mine.

johnny switched in Mewtwo.
Mewtwo is exerting its pressure!
Snorlax used Return.
Mewtwo lost 78% of its health.
johnny's Mewtwo fainted.
Apostle wins!

2 - 0

And the game was mine.

.............................................

Review~

So I won in the end. While it wasn't the prettiest battle, I was happy with the results. My predictions were right on for the most part. Fun battle and glad I decided to have a little fun.

Props:

- Johnny for a fun match
- Gardevoir for being her bulky, beautiful self
- Trick Room for being very troublesome in the fast Uber Metagame.
- Snorlax for being a monster

Drops:

- Omastar not doing much
- Johnny's predictions often wrong
- Not Substitute'ing on Deoxys and getting poisoned
- Snorlax not OHKOing Regice

Heatran used Fire Blast.
Gengar lost 100% of its health.
MarcelDB's Gengar fainted.

Things begin, and it's so far so good. Getting rid of Gengar is a huge plus, since my whole team is weak to him one way or another. Unfortunately, this leaves me open big time.
6-5: Mr.T

MarcelDB switched in Starmie
Mr.T switched in Rotom-w
Starmie used Thunderbolt.
It's not very effective...
Rotom-w lost 13% of its health.
Rotom-w's leftovers restored its health a little!
---
Even better. His overprediction gave me a free switch into the star of the team; Washer Rotom! Who doesn't love this guy, especially when he's absorbing your Thunderbolts from the likes of Starmie. Now, this guy isn't EV'd in SpD, and even though it's resisted, I'm assuming it's one of those Rapid Spinner sets, because Specs would've done much more.
---
MarcelDB switched in Blissey
Rotom-w used Shadow Ball.
It doesn't affect Blissey...
---
Gah, completely walled. I've been seeing a huge rise in Blissey usage, which makes me sad since I don't have a Guts abuser to take those Thunder Waves. Best thing I have is my poor Kingdra, and that's only because I fear Flamethrower.
---
Mr.T switched in Kingdra
Blissey used Thunder Wave.
Kingdra is paralysed! It may be unable to move!

I seriously don't know what was going on in my mind. Had I gotten 3 DD's, I could've KO'd his Blissey, and probably proceed to take on the rest of his team. Unfortunately, Kingdra was death fodder, a result of a major bad play by me.
---
Blissey used Seismic Toss.
Kingdra lost 18% of its health.
Mr.T's Kingdra fainted.
5-5: Even
---
Bye Kingdra ;_;

Mr.T switched in Scizor

It's super effective!

MarcelDB's Blissey fainted.
Scizor's attack was lowered.
Scizor's defence was lowered.
5-4: Mr.T
---
Choice Band Scizor is the best! Superpower is really cool on this guy; making him have virtually no fear in oncoming Heatran's. Unfortunately, I'm pretty much set up fodder, unless…
---
MarcelDB switched in Azelf
Mr.T switched in Heatran
Pointed stones dug into Heatran.
Azelf used Flamethrower.
Heatran's Flash Fire raised its fire power!
---
Yes! I adore the way Scizor and Heatran compliment each other. With a Flash Fire boost, not much can really come in and take a hit from this boosted beast, not even resistant targets.
---
MarcelDB switched in Starmie
Heatran used Fire Blast.
It's not very effective...
Starmie lost 58% of its health.
Starmie's leftovers restored its health a little!
---
58% stripped from the little starfish. That's a definite 2HKO, even without Stealth Rock (which I never got around to getting up >.>)
---
Heatran used Fire Blast.
It's not very effective...
Starmie lost 48% of its health.
MarcelDB's Starmie fainted.

Heatran is paralysed! It may be unable to move!
Azelf was hurt by its burn!
Azelf lost 0% of its health.
MarcelDB's Azelf fainted.
5-2: Mr.T
---
Looks like hax works both ways. However, the hax inflicted upon me hurts a lot worse. Azelf was toast anyway. There was really no need for that burn, but it's sort of amusing to see it go down like that. Paralysis is going to bite me in the but since almost everything that'll come out will outspeed me.
---
MarcelDB switched in Heracross
Heracross used Substitute.
Heracross lost 25% of its health.
Heracross made a substitute!
Heatran used Fire Blast.
It's super effective!
The substitute took damage for Heracross!
Heracross's substitute faded!
---
Sorry Heracross, there'll be no setting up for you. I'm a bit uneasy on the accuracy of Fire Blast. If he tries to stall my Fire Blasts out until it misses or just loses all PP.
---
Heracross used Substitute.
Heracross lost 25% of its health.
Heracross made a substitute!

Oh no!
---
Heracross used Bulk Up.
Heracross's attack was raised.
Heracross's defence was raised.
Heatran used Fire Blast.
It's super effective!
The substitute took damage for Heracross!
Heracross's substitute faded!
---
Bulk Up? What kind of set is this ._. Nevertheless, I break the sub, which is good since Scizor can revenge kill it after.
---
Heracross used Reversal.
It's super effective!
Heatran lost 56% of its health.
Mr.T's Heatran fainted.
4-2: Mr.T

Pointed stones dug into Scizor.
Scizor used Bullet Punch.
Heracross lost 25% of its health.
MarcelDB's Heracross fainted.
4-1: Mr.T
---
Note that my Scizor had Swarm at the moment, meaning that Bullet Punch is absolutely beastly on this guy.
---
MarcelDB switched in Shaymin-s
Scizor used Bullet Punch.
Shaymin-s lost 41% of its health.
Shaymin-s used Air Slash.
Shaymin-s's attack missed!
---
Hax for me =] But yeah, this Scizor didn't have Technician (CB Scizor does 59.94%-71.04% to Skymin on average) That's with Technician.
---
Scizor used Bullet Punch.
Shaymin-s lost 41% of its health.
Shaymin-s used Air Slash.
A critical hit!
Scizor lost 75% of its health.
Mr.T's Scizor fainted.
Shaymin-s lost 10% of its health.
---
His hax counters back, though I feel a bit bad since it probably could've KO'd without the crit.
3-1: Mr.T
