    Appleasing
    Okay so I recently made a sun team and so far it's been going okay, and it's sorta different to a normal sun team but it works imo. Either way, from both team view and experience, I knew he had Tyranitar (so sun versus sand, basically) and I knew pretty much most of his other team as well as his general strategy, so I figured by predicting that I could do well. At first my initial plan was that I'd go for sun straight out, I knew Drakow wouldn't go for sand immediately when he could use his signature Pokemon Hydreigon and get Ninetales out of the way. My plan from then on was to basically switch in to Starmie because I didn't want to lose Heatran in case he predicted Heatran to take the Draco Meteor & went with Focus Blast, so I figured Starmie would be safe if he did that, and as a result I could kill him back with ice beam, at that point he'd probably switch into Tyranitar, etc.​

    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Vandy
    This shouldn't be too difficult for me. I've beaten stronger sun based teams before. Volcarona is always something to watch out for though. I can handle it with either Dragonite or Tyranitar so I should be OK. Everything else should be pretty straightforward really. I'll keep it simple and lead with Hydreigon as at full health, it can handle pretty much anything the opposition can throw at me.​

    Appleasing sent out Ninetales!

    Vandy sent out DRAKOW! (Hydreigon)

    Ninetales's Drought intensified the sun's rays!

    Start of turn 1

    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]


    Appleasing called Ninetales back!

    Appleasing sent out Starmie!

    Vandy's DRAKOW used Draco Meteor!

    Starmie lost 261 HP! (100% of its health)

    Starmie fainted!

    Vandy's DRAKOW's Sp. Att. sharply fell!

    The sunlight is strong!



    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Appleasing
    Since I lost Starmie (sadly) I figure Sawsbuck would be the best choice against Hydreigon, assuming he kept it in and went for something like Fire Blast, but he'd be shocked when he realised how fast Sawsbuck is/was.​

    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Vandy
    I considered the possibility of an incoming Hypnosis but then I realized I just don't care so I went with Draco Meteor. Arguably I should have switched out to Magnezone as it is quite weak against a sun team, to take the Hypnosis. Things worked out well for me and with Starmie out of the picture, I can set up rocks freely.​



    Appleasing sent out Sawsbuck!

    Vandy sent out FAGONITE! (Dragonite)

    Sawsbuck used Jump Kick!

    It's not very effective...

    A critical hit!

    Vandy's FAGONITE lost 21% of its health!

    The sunlight is strong!

    Vandy's FAGONITE restored a little HP using its Leftovers!



    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Appleasing
    I kinda didn't expect Dragonite actually, but I'm glad I got in damage otherwise Dragonite would be more annoying. I figured Heatran was the best choice here, with access to HP ice, and not really hurt by any dragon attacks.​

    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Vandy
    Jump Kick was obvious. Dragonite takes the hit like a champ and now I am going to get up a Substitute to scout out the opposition.​

    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Appleasing
    I'm so disappointed he substituted, because as a result this'll be more annoying. HP ice still is the best thing I can do here, and I intend to go through with that really.​

    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Vandy
    Going to T-wave now so at least if Heatran is weakened enough, Magnezone can trap and KO it.​



    Start of turn 4

    Vandy's FAGONITE used Thunder Wave!

    Heatran is paralyzed! It may be unable to move!

    The sunlight is strong!

    Vandy's FAGONITE restored a little HP using its Leftovers!



    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Appleasing
    Ugh, t-wave. Since I'm sure he'll substitute next and hope for hax, I'm going to go the other way here and put up SR. I know he has no spinners so it'll definitely be up for a bit, and if I'm switching a lot, so will he likely - and it'll help if I can eventually force Dragonite out.​

    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Vandy
    Hidden Power Ice probably. Just gonna set up sub again, cause I can.​

    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Appleasing
    I'm pleased he did as predicted - going to follow through with a HP ice and break that substitute now.​

    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Vandy
    Well that sucks. I think I should have just switched in Tyranitar here to get my own rocks up instead of fooling around with Dragonite for ages. In hindsight I guess. Roost to recover health to full and hopefully it won't be able to break my sub.​

    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Appleasing
    ...whaaat? Sub not broken? Damn I don't face enough Dragonite. This is not good at all. Imma try again and see if I can break the substitute and go somewhere with that, though knowing him I'd rather not switch out and instead just get another Pokemon switched in from Dragon Tail.​

    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Vandy
    Alright the sub is still in tact. Going to Dragon Tail to see what comes out.​

    Heatran lost 86 HP! (26% of its health)

    Heatran's Air Balloon popped!

    Sawsbuck was dragged out!

    The sunlight is strong!



    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Appleasing
    Ooh perfect. I was actually considering using Return the turn before but I wanted to see how long Heatran would last. Disappointed that it was at max health, idk how much Return does at full health, probably not do that much? :(​

    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Vandy
    Well the sub broke so I'll set one up again but I plan to use T-wave again on the following turn.​

    You know what'd be nice? If I had aromatherapy on this thing, and that Choice Bands allowed you to use two moves, instead of just one. And then yeah Sawsbuck would totally destroy this. Nature Power would not be needed as much so then I could just--kay nvm.​

    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Vandy
    Hope leads to disappointment. Of course. The problem is that now that things have turned for the worst, I am determined to at least get my Dragonite back at near full health before switching him out. I do not want to lose this battle of attrition against the Sawsbuck. It's the way my mentality is. If I'm in a good position, then blow my advantage, I want to at least get my advantage back before switching tactics.​

    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Vandy
    I REALLY should have switched to Gengar here but I repeat my earlier mistake because I'm just like "it will work out this time! At first you don't succeed, try again!" I'm like a scientist in that regard. One failure isn't enough to turn me away, I gotta try it out again. That sort of mentality.​

    STONE EDGE. Do not fail me. My Tyranitar is specially defensive so it will survive a boosted Bug Buzz. That is how pro my T-tar is.​

    Okay so where next? Probably Ninetales so that I can get my weather back up. Tyranitar is hurt enough so I can quickly kill it afterwards. I'm sure I can outspeed it so I'm going to go with HP Fighting, since it can hit Hydreigon too if he switches into it.​

    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    You took a heavy beating but you saved my ass T-tar. I'll switch to Hydreigon as he's pretty reliable.​

    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Vandy
    Wtf lol. Hidden power weak! The only Pokemon on her team are Heatran, Sawsbuck, Ninetails and Krookodile. I can use Focus Blast without any risk as it will OHKO any of her Pokemon. Ninetails might survive but I doubt it.​

    Meh. I'm going to go with Krookodile from here since it's probably the best switch in I can think of since I have scarf (and the fact that Focus Miss is unreliable and idk if Drakow would rely on that to hit twice in a row) - so I can hope Stone Edge does well.​

    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Vandy
    Blatantly scarfed Krookodile. I wonder if I inspired her to use it after she saw mine in action. I will switch to Scizor cause I can threaten it with U-Turn / Bullet Punch.​

    I am almost certain it will switch. I went with U-turn but in hindsight I think Superpower would have been the better choice to hit Ninetails harder.​

    Oh U-turn, yeah, Ninetales is fine here. I'm going to go for the risky move of Hypnosis, which is probably my best shot here since that's basically my major issue and he won't be switching out while I'm using it.​

    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Vandy
    I went for Hydreigon because at this point I seriously did not think it had Hypnosis. Cause if it did, surely she would have used it at the beginning of the battle? So I figured I could check mate her with a Draco Meteor and force one of her Pokemon to die.​

    Ew Magnezone, I can't do anything to that on Krookodile since I'm scarved, but I'm sure Ninetales can do something to that, it should even outspeed Thunderbolt imo - and I know I have Sawsbuck and Krookodile, former to take down Hydreigon, and Krookodile can take down the other two.​

    Success. Now I should have double switched here. I know it's scarfed and she has no choice but to switch out. I know that I am guaranteed to be asleep for at least one turn. Had I double switched into Scizor, I could have put her in a check mate position.​

    And... I won. o_O Originally thought I'd be easily 6-0'd, but I managed to turn it around. Actually you know, I really like this team. Krookodile fits onto the team pretty well, much better than Dugtrio did due to the lack of power @ Dugtrio against Starmie w/ Sucker Punch. Either way, Starmie was pretty useless, and I didn't really expect it to be useful in the first place, considering what Drakow's team actually is. Volcarona was also pretty useless too - could've been a little less useless but meh. Heatran was "okay" but again, meh. To be honest, Krookodile/Ninetales/Sawsbuck worked the best together really. While the others didn't work that well in this battle, they've been useful in other battles, but definitely those three are the stars of the team really.​

    [PokeCommunity.com] Suntales versus Tyranisand [ Battle Log ]

    Vandy
    Yeah I didn't think so. You beat me by a single turn! Good game.

    Props: Forever for putting the effort into making this battle log and giving me a very close match.

    Slops: I made a lot of mistakes in this battle. I need to step my game up.​

    ​
     
    pretty and all, but... you really could have chosen a better battle to make pretty. don't take any of my comments too heavily, but it sort of went "eh mispredict on turn one" to drakow basically haxing the hell out of you with dragonite (rule of thumb: twave + dtail dragonite is not the stuff of battle logs), then to you randomly sacking some pokemon despite apparently knowing what's coming and then proceeding to close the game with a sweep. neither side had many outstanding plays at all, but i really felt like this was an off-match for drakow, because he never... really did anything, save a somewhat decent predict of heatran when ninetales was out. your comments weren't enough to save it either, and it was especially disappointing to read something like "in hindsight, i should have done blah blah blah" because really a battle log should be showing the very best of you! you shouldn't have regretted anything you've done in a battle that you want to log, imo. and even if you do - don't mention it in that turn's comments! i hate reading something and then realizing i know what's going to happen next in the match because drakow said "in hindsight i probably should have used focus blast" meaning i knew what nica was going to do. if you find it difficult to come up with commentary, you can always post a few turns, then comment about your afterthoughts, how your game plan has changed as a result, what you're going to do next, etc...

    i mean overall it was an ok battle, but i really wish you would have picked a better one/more unique one or spent more time on the commentary!
