Crossing Swords (Aquilae Vs Pokedra)

Crossing Swords (Aquilae Vs Pokedra)
____________________________________________________

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Here I was bored with not much to do. I had a few battles before with Vance and he kicked my butt >=( and then after a while I decided to ask Aquilae for a battle. He accepted and we had one battle. Sandstorm, Lefties are editted out.

My Team

________________________________________________________________________
Begin the Battle!

Vs

,

Pokedra sent out Messy (lvl 100 Mesprit).
Aquilae sent out Scizor (lvl 100 Scizor ?).
Aquilae switched in Tyranitar (lvl 100 Tyranitar ?).
Tyranitar's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!
A sandstorm brewed!
Messy used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around your foe's team!

Aquilae pulls out Scizor which I didn't really expect as a lead. In the end I decided to get the rocks up and hope he doesn't OHKO Mesprit.
_______________________________________________________________

Vs

Pokedra switched in Buggy (lvl 100 Heracross ?).
Tyranitar used Crunch.
It's not very effective...
Buggy lost 49% of its health.

My team has a problem and that is a Rock-resist but I pull in Heracross to Close Combat him.
_______________________________________________________________

Vs

Aquilae switched in Gengar (lvl 100 Gengar ?).
Pointed stones dug into Gengar.
Gengar lost 12% of its health.
Buggy used Close Combat.
It doesn't affect Gengar...

As you can see, he outpredicted me. I wanna save Heracross for later so I turn to my fat special wall to take his Gengar's attack.
_______________________________________________________________

Vs

Pokedra switched in Lucky (lvl 100 Blissey ?).
Gengar used Thunderbolt.
Lucky lost 14% of its health.
Gengar lost 10% of its health.

Blissey eats up the Thunderbolt like a burger. I predicted he'll switch so I decide to TWave whatever comes in.

Vs

Aquilae switched in Scizor (lvl 100 Scizor ?).
Pointed stones dug into Scizor.
Scizor lost 12% of its health.
Lucky used Thunder Wave.
Scizor is paralysed! It may be unable to move!

Scizor is paralyzed which is helpful...I think he was going to use Superpower and hit Blissey for a OHKO so I pulled out my Fighting-resist.

_______________________________________________________________

Vs

Pokedra switched in Lucky (lvl 100 Blissey ?).

Pointed stones dug into Scizor.
Scizor lost 12% of its health.
Lucky used Ice Beam.
It's not very effective...
Scizor lost 13% of its health.

I thought Scizor was coming in but I didn't want to risk him staying in and Seismic Toss..well....doing nothing.
_______________________________________________________________

Vs

Lucky used Seismic Toss.
Scizor lost 29% of its health.
Scizor is paralysed! It can't move!

Big gamble by me but he didn't use Superpower before so there was a slighty possiblity he didn't have it.
_______________________________________________________________

Vs

Pokedra switched in Gyara (lvl 100 Gyarados ?).
Gyara's intimidate cut Scizor's attack!
Scizor is paralysed! It can't move!

Well...what can I say? This was kinda unfair that the paralyze had him twice but luck is luck you can't control it(unfortunately it's quite hard to teach that to the trolls of Pke2000)

Vs

Aquilae switched in Flygon (lvl 100 Flygon ?).
Pointed stones dug into Flygon.
Flygon lost 6% of its health.

It's super effective!

Pokedra's Gyara fainted.

_______________________________________________________________

Vs

Pokedra switched in Buggy (lvl 100 Heracross ?).
Tyranitar was defrosted!
Tyranitar used Pursuit.
It's not very effective...
Buggy lost 26% of its health.

So he gets a bit lucky and defrosts but Heracross endures the hit. I bet he is going to bring Gengar in to avoid my Close Combat so I decide to use Rock Slide.

Gengar lost 12% of its health.

Buggy is buffetted by the sandstorm!
Buggy lost 1% of its health.
Pokedra's Buggy fainted.

This move was really dumb and I should've used Close Combat and I didn't. See? I have no logic at all. I left in Sandstorm damage this turn because it was significant.

Messy used Psychic.
It's super effective!

Tyranitar used Pursuit.
It's super effective!

Flygon used Outrage.
Flygon went on a rampage!
It's super effective!
Gleadr lost 84% of its health.
Pokedra's Gleadr fainted.

I thought I could take my chances with a speed tie since all I got is Kingdra and Blissey. 1.)Who'll be OHKO'ed by Outrage 2.)Possible OHKO or 2HKO
_______________________________________________________________
Pokedra-Aquilae(2-3)

Flygon used Outrage.
Lucky lost 52% of its health.
Lucky used Ice Beam.
It's super effective!
Flygon lost 40% of its health.
Aquilae's Flygon fainted.

I stared at the screen for a few seconds after this turn. Flygon did not KO my weakened Blissey?! Ice Beam just owns him.

Pokedra-Aquilae(2-2)

Pointed stones dug into Metagross.
Metagross lost 6% of its health.
Metagross used Rock Polish.
Metagross's speed was sharply raised.
Lucky used Thunder Wave.
Metagross is paralysed! It may be unable to move!

Thunder Wave effectively negates that Rock Polish boost and cripples the speed again. Once again hax decides to take my side.
_______________________________________________________________

Vs

Lucky used Seismic Toss.
Metagross lost 33% of its health.
Metagross is paralysed! It can't move!

I stay in and attack as I wanna save Kingdra for a clean-up sweep...hopefully.
_______________________________________________________________

Vs

Lucky used Seismic Toss.
Metagross lost 33% of its health.
Metagross used Meteor Mash.
Lucky lost 34% of its health.
Pokedra's Lucky fainted.

Meteor Mash creams Blissey but the good news is he is in KO range for an unboosted Kingdra Waterfall.
_______________________________________________________________
Pokedra-Aquilae(1-2)

Vs

Pokedra switched in Saphira (lvl 100 Kingdra ?).
Saphira used Waterfall.
Metagross lost 18% of its health.
Aquilae's Metagross fainted.

This is it...Metagross is down and he has Tyranitar. Can my Kingdra outrun it?

Man! That was lucky and a brillant match Aquilae!

PROS
*Aquilae for the best match I've had on Shoddy so far.
*Kingdra for the clean-up sweep.
*Blissey for surviving an Outrage and supporting my team.

CONS
*Hax for screwing Aquilae up at times.
*Letting Gyarados die to Flygon.
*Using Rock Slide on Infernape >______<

CONCLUSION
Excellent match Aquilae. Hax did change the match around and you probably would've won if some of the hax was avoided but that was an excellent battle!

Spikes and Specs Messy(Vance Vs Pokedra)

Spikes and Specs Messy(Pokedra vs. Vance)_______________________________________________

Pokedra's Introduction
I was just hanging around the Smogon server and happened to see my good friend Vance. I challenged him to a battle and we had some UU battles. This one was by far the most epic and fun battle we had.

Vance's Introduction
I was on Smogon Saturday night, mainly fixing up some teams and seeing who else was on. Lucky me, Pokedra was there, challenging me (as usual). At first I wasn't up for a battle, I decided to accept. After a few (hax) ridden battles on both our parts, I decided to try out my oldest stall team for new UU. Pokedra was only too eager to battle as well, as he apparently fixed his Absol weakness (Absol destroyed him last match lol).

Vance's commentary shall be in blue.
Pokedra's commentary shall be in red.

Lefties damage are editted out and comments in the actual battle will be left out because alot of it was me and Vance cursing hax and loling at each other. Teams are left out to make it more suspenseful.

START THE BATTLE!!

Pokedra-Vance(6-6)

-->

VS

Mr.T sent out Kadabra (lvl 100 Kadabra).
Pokedra sent out Raichu (lvl 100 Raichu).
Pokedra switched in Chansey (lvl 100 Chansey ).
Kadabra used Substitute.
Kadabra lost 25% of its health.
Kadabra made a substitute!
-----------------
HP
-----------------
Chansey - 100%
Kadabra - 81% - Substitude
-----------------
Commentary
-----------------
I have to admit it I am not experienced at all in UU. Infact this is one of my first matches in UU but anyway on with the match. I was sure Kadabra was faster and could hit Raichu hard with Psychic so I pulled in my fat special wall to come in and absorb his attack.

Since I've faced him before, I know his Raichu is a Nasty Plot variant. I'm faster, and he has a Sash, so Psychic would be useless. I decide to Sub, hoping he'd Nasty Plot so I could Encore him and basically screw him over entirely. Unfortunately, he seemed to want to keep his Sash Raichu for later, and brings in the safe switch; Chansey. Never waste a good Sub, as I always say...
_______________________________________________________________________

Kadabra used Psychic.
Chansey lost 18% of its health.
Chansey used Seismic Toss.
The substitute took damage for Kadabra!
Kadabra's substitute faded!
-----------------
HP
-----------------
Chansey - 88%
Kadabra - 87%
-----------------
Commentary
-----------------
I know Kadabra can't hurt Chansey so I'll leave her in. TWave was on my mind but he had Sub so it was a risk I wasn't willing to take.

Yeah, that was pathetic. 18% isn't going to do anything, a 9HKO essentially. I guess I might as well begin the preparations for stall; Spikes!
_______________________________________________________________________

VS

Mr.T switched in Omastar (lvl 100 Omastar).
Chansey used Seismic Toss.
Omastar lost 29% of its health.
-----------------
HP
-----------------
Chansey - 94%
Omastar - 71%
-----------------
Commentary
-----------------
Vance brings Omastar in and I'm not too sure what variant it is. I considered a switch to Raichu but a Surf from Omastar wasn't going to do him any good at all so I stuck with Chansey to see what he'd do.

Yes! I'm guessing he's going to TWave me, anticipating a Rain Dance sweeper, however, that'll only give me more time to set up Spikes and overall screw his team over (horribly).
_______________________________________________________________________

VS

Omastar used Spikes.
Spikes were scattered everywhere!
Spikes were scattered around the foe's team!
Chansey used Thunder Wave.
Omastar is paralysed! It may be unable to move!
-----------------
HP
-----------------
Chansey - 100%
Omastar - 77% - Paralyzed
-----------------
Commentary
-----------------
A Spiker was a surprise for me and for a moment I was considering my options. I was considering my switch-ins, Spikes would destroy Raichu's Sash and without that a strong attack will KO him and I also had Hitmontop which I was going to switch-in but instead I decided to play safe and wait.

One layer is nice, but 2 is all the more better. I'm nervous if he sends in a Hitmontop, but then again, I think I can live a Close Combat (Omastar is extremely bulky. By extremely, I mean it can take 2 Stone Edges from a Choice Band Aerodactyl, 2 Dragon Claws from a Choice Band Mence, and even 2 Outrages from a Choice Scarf Garchomp).

Chansey used Seismic Toss.
Omastar lost 29% of its health.
Omastar used Spikes.
Spikes were scattered around the foe's team!
Omastar's leftovers restored its health a little!
Omastar restored 6% of its health

-----------------
Chansey - 100%
Omastar - 54% - Paralyzed
-----------------
Commentary
-----------------
Two layers of Spikes is not good and I'm still thinking about a switch. I know I'm being a little too careful but I honestly have barely played any UU and its nothing like OU or Ubers(my favourites) so again I played safe.

DUAL SPIKES! That's excellent, this means I can get up a third layer, Rest off the damage, and Surf whatever comes out. Omastar is a utility beast.

-----------------
Commentary
-----------------
Hax helps me a bit and he can't get another layer down. I'm worried about the Spikes and I know I can't still in and whittle his HP down with Seismic Toss so I'm going to switch to Hitmontop to take him out.

Aww...The ONE turn that allowed me to get a third layer of Spikes up ends up being hax ridden. NOW I can't risk setting up more Spikes, I have to rest if I want to keep my bulky Omastar alive and kicking.
_______________________________________________________________________

VS

Pokedra switched in Hitmontop (lvl 100 Hitmontop).
Hitmontop was hurt by Spikes!
Hitmontop lost 18% of its health.
Omastar used Rest.
Omastar fell asleep!
Omastar restored 63% of its health.
-----------------
HP
-----------------
Hitmontop - 82%
Omastar - 100% - Sleep
-----------------
Commentary
-----------------
Omastar uses Rest and fully heals rending my past efforts useless. Omastar is asleep and I predicted a switch but I also considered that he might stay. In the end I decided to attack.

Hahaha, I knew that had to be a stab in the gut for Pokedra. Lovely, a full health Omastar vs. a Hitmontop. There are two possible things Hitmontop could do; Rapid Spin (which would SUCK), or even Close Combat (again, I live this). Both of them are neutralized by everyone's favorite ghosty...
_______________________________________________________________________

VS

Mr.T switched in Mismagius (lvl 100 Mismagius ?).
Hitmontop used Close Combat.
It doesn't affect Mismagius...
-----------------
HP
-----------------
Hitmontop - 82%
Mismagius - 100%
-----------------
Commentary
-----------------
>__< Totally outpredicted...but the fact is I threw the Hitmontop together to cover my Absol weak and it really is a horrible set. Hitmontop doesn't stand a chance so once again I turn to my fat special wall.

MissyM! Most use the Sub Calm Mind version (which would've ironically worked better in this battle =/), but I use a defensive Perish Song user, with Will O Wisp to cripple things like Hitmontop. Yeah yeah, go ahead and hate.
_______________________________________________________________________

VS

Pokedra switched in Chansey (lvl 100 Chansey ?).
Chansey was hurt by Spikes!
Chansey lost 19% of its health.
Mismagius used Will-o-wisp.
Mismagius's attack missed!
-----------------
HP
-----------------
Chansey - 81%
Mismagius - 100%
-----------------
Commentary
-----------------
I get a bit lucky with the miss but the burn isn't too bad for Chansey as she doesn't have any physical attacks. I decide to TWave Mismagius incase later one of my slower sweepers can pick her off.

Eh, nothing noteworthy. Glad Spikes finally did some damage. The Thunder Wave is obviously coming, so it's off to my sleepy shellfish...
_______________________________________________________________________

VS

Mr.T switched in Omastar (lvl 100 Omastar ?).
Chansey used Thunder Wave.
But it failed!
-----------------
HP
-----------------
Chansey - 87%
Omastar - 100% - Sleep
-----------------
Commentary
-----------------
I get outpredicted and I waste a turn. Omastar is asleep and I know Chansey will take ages to whittle its HP down so I turn to Raichu to set up and hopefully sweep.

I really hope he stays in, and tries to Seismic Toss me to hell. Sleep Talk has a 1/3 chance in choosing Spikes, so those odds are pretty decent, right? Let's hope so.
_______________________________________________________________________

VS

Pokedra switched in Raichu (lvl 100 Raichu ?).
Raichu was hurt by Spikes!
Raichu lost 19% of its health.
Omastar is fast asleep!
Omastar used Sleep Talk.
Omastar used Rest.
But it failed!
-----------------
HP
-----------------
Raichu - 81%
Omastar - 100% - Sleep
-----------------
Commentary
-----------------
Sleep Talk doesn't pick the right attack and now the stage is clear for me to Nasty Plot and sweep. He has another turn of sleep left so I'm guaranteed one Nasty Plot.

ARGH. Omastar, why did you do this to me =/? Thunderbolt is a KO (I think), and if he Nasty Plots, it's basically GG, which COMPLETELY sucks. I do, however, have one route that can potentially win this for me.
_______________________________________________________________________

VS

Mr.T switched in Kadabra (lvl 100 Kadabra ?).
Raichu used Nasty Plot.
Raichu's special attack was sharply raised.
-----------------
HP
-----------------
Raichu - 81%
Kadabra - 93%
-----------------
Commentary
-----------------
Kadabra worried me as my Sash was gone due to Spikes. I decided to attack and hoepfully he didn't run Timid so I could outspeed him and OHKO with +2 Thunderbolt.

YES! He Plotted up, and now I can bring in my Freak Kadabra. Basically, this is a SubEncore user, which means he'll be Plotting up for quite a while.
_______________________________________________________________________

VS

Kadabra used Encore.
Raichu got an encore!
Raichu used Nasty Plot.
Raichu's special attack was sharply raised.
-----------------
HP
-----------------
Raichu - 81%
Kadabra - 99%
-----------------
Commentary
-----------------
Kadabra is faster then me and screws up my sweep. I can't keep using NP so I decide to switch out again for Chansey as she is the reliable to sponge up Kadabra's Psychic.

Bet he didn't expect that ;P. I don't know if Chansey is going to come in, so I might as well just Psychic for some sort of damage.
_______________________________________________________________________

VS

Pokedra switched in Chansey (lvl 100 Chansey ?).
Chansey was hurt by Spikes!
Chansey lost 19% of its health.
Kadabra used Psychic.
Chansey lost 16% of its health.
-----------------
HP
-----------------
Chansey - 58%
Kadabra - 100%
-----------------
Commentary
-----------------
Spikes+Psychic manages to take quite a lot off Chansey. I thinking of TWave
but Omastar was obviously going to come in and gobble it up so I went with Seismic Toss.

Those Spikes are beginning to do their job, and even Chansey is going to take quite a bit after a while. I can Substitute while he Softboiles, Encore it, and screw him over. I can switch out to Omastar as well, which is probably the safest move.

-----------------
Commentary
-----------------
Here was one big miatake by me. I should've stayed in and taken what he would throw at me but instead I decided to switch Raichu hoping Sleep Talk wouldn't pick Surf.

Yep, in comes Omastar. Seeing as I have one more turn of Rest, I hope that Sleep Talk makes the most of it.

Raichu - 0%

-----------------
Commentary
-----------------
Sleep Talk picks Surf and Raichu gets raped which was one big mistake by me. I consider my options, Hitmontop will just draw Mismagius in and I need to give him some residual damage as well so I pick my Registeel.

Omastar draws first blood, killing the Raichu that attempts to come in and thwart my plans of Stall domination. With no more Sleep turns left, it's time to finalize the Spikes collection; a third layer I say!

Registeel was hurt by Spikes!
Registeel lost 19% of its health.
Omastar woke up!

Pointed stones float in the air around your foe's team!

HP
-----------------
Registeel - 87%
Omastar - 88%
-----------------
Commentary
-----------------
3 layers of spikes is not good for me at all however I got Stealth Rock down which is good for me. Registeel is solid and can take quite a few hits so I'm going to stay in and attack.

He gets up rocks, which is bad, but it's not awful. I still have three layers, and his Registeel has nothing to really hit me for. I don't want to take an Earthquake, so I attempt to be sneaky, and go to Mismagius and then burn him.

Pointed stones dug into Mismagius.

Registeel used Iron Head.
Mismagius lost 34% of its health.
-----------------
HP
-----------------
Registeel - 93%
Mismagius - 60%
-----------------
Commentary
-----------------
Iron Head tears off quite a respectable amount but no where near the number I need. I'm sre Mismagius can't really hurt Registeel so I'll keep him in.

Ouch, Iron Head hit me harder than I would've liked, so now I HAVE to burn it, no questions asked.

Mismagius - 66% - Paralyzed
-----------------
Commentary
-----------------
That burns me up(no pun intended) but at least he's paralyzed but now I can only do weak damage to him so I'm going to switch to my awesome sponge, Chansey.

I don't want to be paralysed ;( Now I HAVE to go to Omastar, or else Registeel is going to own me horribly.

Commentary
-----------------
Spikes is not helping :( Chansey is on low health but I know he can't KO me without a critical hit so I'm just going to heal and hope for the best.

I could've gone to Himtontop, but I decided if he Explodes or goes out Thunder Waving, I definately don't want Hitmontop being on the receiving end of that.

Commentary
-----------------
I'm pretty sure this is a SubSeed or Cleric variant as why would you bring a SpecsShaymin on a Chansey unless you were pretty desperate and hoped to win with SpD drops. Leech Seed worries me but I want to paralyze and bolt.

He's probably expecting a sweeper Shaymin of some sort, well, that's not going to happen. Mine's SubSeed =D

Success he is paralyzed and I still got HP to spare and I'm guessing a Substitude or Seed Flare is coming so I'm going to pull out.

Eh, T-Wave hurts and all, but at least I got to Leech Seed it. As of now, a paralysed Mismagius is not ideal in any sense, so I might as well go for the Aromatherapy.

****! This seriously pissed me off and I bet Vance was chuckling as this happened. All my status that I induced is all gone but I'm sure Shaymin won't stay in to eat an X-Scissor.

Oh NO. Scyther is this teams biggest threat, and with Shaymin unable to do ANYTHING to it, he gets a free set up, or a free attack. It's time to go to my only Scyther "insurance".

So Scyther has a +2 Attack boost under his belt and I was sure I could've KO'ed his slightly weakened Omastar with a good X-Scissor.

SD Brick Break OHKOs at this point...I think. If it doesn't, well, that's grand, I can go ahead and Surf him for a ton of damage

Ughhh....man that stinks, a +2 Life Orbed STAB X-Scissor fails to KO him and Scyther ends up taking massive emotional damage because he fails.

No Brick Break? I wonder why...oh well, lucky for me, Omastar takes a great deal off with Surf, which means that Scyther isn't as threatening (still pretty damn scary).

Omastar is down and Scyther is barely living. This isn't good news for me and I'm not too sure what he'll send out.

Aww...this sucks, he still has 3 more attacks left, and my whole team will DIE to Chansey if Scyther gets those attacks off...Hmm...I assume after Intimidate, Scyther fails to KO things like it used to...this is a gamble...

He...switched? That is probably the BIGGEST play in the entire match. Now I don't only get to burn whatever switches in (Chansey most likely), I get to Leech Seed something else, allowing me to get my "super secret end game threat" set up.

Yeah Azelf sucks. Go Mespirit vs. Uxie! Luckily for me, Uxie has the superior defenses here, meaning it can screen up without having to worry about much. Unless it has Shadow Ball (unlikely KO), I can stall it out.

Looks like he has no other choice but to leave, since Registeel is stalled out by Leech Seed. Of course, he could potentially EXPLODE, so I decided that Mismagius is the safest route to go.

Man that sucks. A paralysed Mismagius below 70% health is going to die to a plethora of things, meaning that I might as well let it die. Hitmontop can't come in on Spikes, so Rapid Spin isn't that intimidating.

...Looking back now, Kadabra can potentially solo the rest of his team. Spikes brings everything within Psychic range, meaning all I need is a single hit (easy to do, since Kadabra is so damn fast) to put them out of their misery. Oh goody!

Down to the Wire
d2m vs Neno

I was testing out some changes to my team on the Smogon server and I ended up hitting Neno twice in a row on the ladder. The first game I won by a small margin with the help of some hax (Blissey freezing Scalemance). What followed was one of the most fun battles I've had since I started playing. (It's my first log, so be gentle).

d2m's comments:
Well in the first match, I had lead off with Earthquake and OHKO'd his Metagross, so I figured I'd repeat it. Even if he switched in, his only ground resist was Scalemance, who Mamo could easily take out with Ice Shard before he died. This time, however, it leaves him with 1% and I eat a bullet punch to the face. Nothing Mamo can't handle though ;)

d2m's comments: I wasn't exactly sure of Mamo's set, last time I had OHKO'd him so it didn't matter, but I figured:
A) If it was Scarf, he's locked into Ice Shard that won't kill me.
B) Machamp *should* outspeed or survive for the OHKO with Close Combat if he EQs.
He switches in Tentacruel who still takes a huge hit from Close Combat...last time he took out my Machamp with a STAB Surf and I'm not gonna let him do it again.

d2m's comments: I wished to allow Starmie to hopefully come in with enough HP to get a surf off on Mamo. I also knew that if he switched to Porygon2, I could have a safe switch in to wish/protect Blissey back to manageable health.

d2m's comments: There's some fail prediction...it's at this point that I realize something, though. Mamo has been chaining EQs and he outspeeds everything...that means he's probably scarf, so I bet the outcome of the match on it.

Porygon2 used Thunder Wave.
Blissey is paralysed! It may be unable to move!

Porygon2 used Ice Beam.
Blissey lost 8% of its health.
---
d2m's comments: Blissey takes the hit like it was nothing. I figure he'll try to switch in Mammo again, so I figure I'll Seismic Toss to put damage on it, protect to find out what it's locked into, and bring out either Mence or Starmie to counter it.

Breloom lost 36% of its health.

d2m's comments: I had almost forgotten about Breloom :( I know he has SD and can't OHKO Blissey without it, so I pick Ice Beam to try to finish him off or freeze him.

Breloom used Swords Dance.
Breloom's attack was sharply raised.
Blissey is paralysed! It can't move!

d2m's comments: Blissey doesn't live, much to my chagrin, so now I'm facing a +2 Breloom with nothing but mence and Starmie. The worse news is that Starmie will be OHKO'd by Seed Bomb and Mence will be vunerable to Spore...I go with mence as the safer option.

Salamence is fast asleep!
Breloom used Swords Dance.
Breloom's attack was sharply raised.

d2m's comments: Well, evidently I was wrong...it does 46% instead of 44%, leading to me having a dead Mence...oh well, breloom has no health left, and I still have my Mamo to come in and revenge kill it with Ice Shard.

d2m switched in Mamoswine.
Neno switched in Porygon2.

Mamoswine used Ice Shard.
Porygon2 lost 14% of its health.

Props:
-Mamo for taking out Porygon2 and Metagross.
-Blissey for being instrumental as always.
-Starmie for the epic finish.
-Neno for the awesome match.

Slops:
-Scalamence for not...waking...up.
-Hax for costing me my Blissey :(

Note: Neno's comments will be added in when I can contact him...evidently Smogon forums aren't allowing new regs so I can't PM him for the list :(

Dancing Dragons(Goldeneyes Vs Pokedra)

............................
Introduction
............................
Hello PC members, I was recently on Smogon and having a few battles against Vance and Goldeneyes. I've battled Vance quite alot but this was my first time battling Goldeneyes. We had three matches, the first didn't count because hax was in his favour so bad it wasn't funny.

This was our second battle, our third was far more epic but it was around 12 pages which takes so long to do I couldn't be stuffed. Fun and close battle.

Anything related to me will be in this colour.
Anything related to my opponent shall be in this colour.

............................
Commentary
............................
The battle is starting in his favour, the Attack boost he got isn't going to help me but at least I got the rocks up. I had a tough decision here. Should I switch or let him stay. I knew Metagross leads carry Bullet Punch but some pass that for Brick Break. I didn't really want anything to come in and take a hit and besides Aerodactyl had done his job so I attacked.

Commentary
............................
Well he kills Aerodactyl and draws first blood. I'm not overly concerned about losing him and now I have to think about what to send in. Infernape is on my mind as he outspeed Metagross and land a OHKO ith Fire Blast. My other options were pretty bad, Kingdra was possible but I wanted to bring him out later. I went for Infernape as it was probably the best option.

............................
Commentary
............................
I was so pissed at this, Fire Blast can do ~30-40% to a Gyarados meaning if I did hit him and he switched out and came back in he'd be on 10% range. Gyarados means trouble for me and I know I can't let Infernape stay in and die so I thought he knows Infernape is going to switch so he'd DD right? My ScarfGar can take care of +1 DD Gyarados so I decide to bring him in.

Commentary
............................
That does me no favours whatsoever, I mispredicted he must've decided to attack and see what happens. It pays off and now my revenge-killer is in no shape to well....revenge kill. I'm going to Tbolt and see what he brings in maybe he'll stay in hoping he can survive a blow and finish me off but I doubt it.

............................
Commentary
............................
A combo of Tbolt and SR doesn't even bring him below ~50%. Gengar stands no chance against Zapdos so I got to bring in something to take the Thunderbolt coming Gengar's way. Now this team doesn't have Blissey so I turn to something with good power and bulk. CBTar.

Commentary
............................
Tyranitar takes the hit very well and now I have to decide what to do. He obviously isn't going to let Zapdos stay in and feebly try to dent Tyranitar while I steamroll him with Stone Edge. Gyarados wasn't going to come in and I had a feeling Metagross was coming in but I still decided to Stone Edge and see what happens.

............................
Commentary
............................
Tyranitar hits Metagross for pathetic damage and now I'm not too sure what to bring in. Infernape can't take a Meteor Mash to the face so I had my two Steel-resists Lucario and Kingdra. I should've brought Kingdra in, this was one of my mistakes but I thought his Metagross would run Explosion/Stealth Rock/Meteor Mash/Bullet Punch so I sent Luke in since he could resist all his attacks. No problem, right?

Meteor Mash takes more then I expected but it's not a diaster. I'm sure he can't too much to Lucario unless he explodes but his Metagross is in good health. I was starting to think maybe he could have Earthquake cause he hadn't used Stealth Rock yet but here was my mistake I decided to attack.

Well that sucks..he had Earthquake all the time. I'm not playing too well this match. Infernape can come back in and Fire Blast for the KO and this time I hope it actually hits. If Gyarados comes in I can take him out, SR+Fire Blast can bring him in Fire Blast KO range despite the resistance.

He flees and I tuck a +2 SpAtk boost under my belt. This is good maybe I can start to sweep. Zapdos is no worry, I know I can outspeed it and hit it with HP Ice. I doubt he'll switch out as if Zapdos goes out and comes back he'll be killed by SR+SS damage.

I'm surprised Scizor switched out. With U-Turn it can hit Kingdra for ~70-85% damage but maybe he wanted to lower my Attack with Gyarados. I decided not to such out, a Gyarados with no boosts is not a threat to Kingdra. I'm not going to attack as that wouldn't do much, I'm going to DD and see if he attacks.

Well that sucks, I could've picked him off but hax bites me up the arse. I was kinda of worried at this point.

Jaws used Taunt.
Aerodactyl fell for the taunt!

This is my basic set up, and I hoped that I would outspeed his Aerodactyl. Unfortunately, that didn't work, and he got the rocks up. A miscalculation on my part as well as a wasted first turn.

Another miscalculation, and thank GOD I used a Focus Sash, or else I would have not been able to work my rocks up.

Jaws lost 316% of its health.
IcePyro's Jaws fainted.
Aerodactyl's taunt wore off!

My Aerodactyl did his duty, and when something outspeeds my Aerodactyl, things go from bad to worse. Now my Taunt is off, and this sets him up for success.

I hate when opposing Aerodactyls use Focus Sash. I don't have an attack on my Rhyperior that I can harm Aerodactyl except for Stone Edge. I'll help .'s Aerodactyl by blasting it out of its misery.

Mr.T's Aerodactyl fainted.

Definitely prolonging death by using the rocks again, but since he's faster than me, I don't understand why he didn't use the typical Ice Fang or Earthquake to take out my Rhyperior. Probably would have helped him a lot too.

I finally predicted right, and that resulted in a medium damage hit. If he keeps this up though, this war is going to be over quickly. My Buster has Ice Beam, so I'm not too worried. Of course, Salamence's usually have Outrage or Draco Meteor.

Never Stop Attacking(Pokedra Vs Kalypso)

Pokedra Vs Kalypso
I was laddering on Shoddy, some of the battles were fairly fun and some were downright boring. I wanted to do another battle log and try to make it look nice and improve me commentary which I still suck at. So let's begin this log and this was a fairly nice battle though my prediction was a bit off and I generally wasn't playing too well.

Kalypso's Salamence fainted.

Swampert - 46%
Salamence - 0%

Good start for me, he obviously didn't want Zapdos to take a blow from Swampert and switched out to Salamence who surprised me because he must know Swampert has an Ice-attack(Ice Punch/Ice Beam) perhaps he thought I was CB which I think he can OHKO as it doesn't invest much in defenses or HP. I take his Salamence out and lead, Swampert is on so-so health so I'll keep him in.

Swampert - 0%
Lucario - 87%

This wasn't the smartest move, I Roared to see more of his team but he takes a fair chunk of my health out with EQ and then Lucario comes in. I was considering a switch but I thought it was SDLuke and he might jump at the chance to boost his stats while I switch. Besides Swampert was on death's edge and there wouldn't be many chances ot bring him back in. Now I know it's SDLuke and I can bring in my awesome green pixie.

A barrier was formed!

Celebi - 65%
Lucario - 77%

I'm feeling pretty good, he's paralyzed and though he has an +2 Lucario I know my little pixie can take anything he throws at me. Celebi takes the Extremespeed easily and sets up Reflect for my team which effectively cancels his SD boost. Going good but my pixie isn't gonna beat Luke so I'll need to switch in something that can.

Salamence - 56%
Lucario - 0%

He must've predicted I'd switch so he Close Combated, despite Reflect and Intimidate it still leaves a dent on Mence. Hax favours me a little but even if he did hit with Extremespeed I doubt it would do much. Salamence is on reasonable health so I'll probabaly leave him in.

5-4 To Pokedra

Kalypso switched in Suicune!

Gengar - 47%
Suicune - 78%

I've always had trouble with Suicune on this team and I knew he'd Ice Beam Mence. Scizor was on my mind but he couldn't really do anything to Suicune. In the end I decided to sleep it with Gengar. It pays off which is awesome and I can try bring Kingdra in.

Pokedra switched in Kingdra!

Kingdra - 43%
Zapdos - 75%

I'm wasn't worried, I was sure it was Defensive Zapdos and I know from experience that +1 Outrage KO's after SR damage so I DD'ed. Rampaging this early isn't that smart but I wanted to take Zapdos out and even if the next Pokemon resists Outrage, I can still take some health off it.

Celebi - 71%

He surprises me, it's Scarfed and my Kingdra dies. Now that he's locked in though I can bring in Celebi and Twave whatever comes in. He outpredicts me and switches to Suicune who's snoozing. He could switch but I doubt it, Suicune is pretty much useless.

Celebi used Thunder Wave.
Bronzong is paralysed! It may be unable to move!
Bronzong used Trick.
Bronzong obtained Leftovers!
Celebi obtained Choice Band!

Celebi - 77%
Bronzong - 100%

The critical hit was probably uneeded as Suicune is one, fat dog. Suicune is taken out and Bronzong comes in. I probably shouldn't of bothered but I didn't really want a switch. Looking back I probably should've switched to Salamence as he could make use of the Choice Band but I was stupid and kept my pixie in. Stupid steel bell steals my pixie's apple and gives her a band.

It doesn't affect Swampert...
Swampert used Roar.
Pokedra switched in Scizor!

Scizor - 100%
Swampert - 68%

Bronzong blows up which is fine by me. I bring in Celebi because she's sturdy and I wasn't really sure what to bring out. If you're wondering why I Twaved Swampert, it's because I thought he'd switch in Zapdos since no one would leave Swampert in against a Celebi right? Overprediction...

Scizor takes off alot of health and I bring Celebi back in expecting a Surf and I predict correctly. I'm getting unessacary critical hits for some reason, not much is on my mind now. I'm fairly confident, Zapdos is a worry but I think I can take it out.

I used Celebi as fodder, rest in peace brave soldier. Now's he locked in Heat Wave which doesn't help me cause Gengar doesn't resist and Scizor sure as hell doesn't resist it. Gengar fails me and Zapdos hangs on with 3%

Pros

Kalypso for the match.
Gengar for sleeping Suicune.

Cons

Me for being a noob and letting my favourite Pokemon die.
Letting Celebi get Tricked.

The Red Mantis dominates all

As of late, I haven't been highly involved in making Battle Logs, and focused solely on battling. Well, I finally decided to get the best battle I've had as of late, and show it you, the reader! Keep in mind, this thing is LONG. If you like quick battles with no prediction, just kill, kill, kill, this probably isn't for you. Either way, please enjoy the (colorless, yes, sorry, no nice colors, since they clog up everything) battle log =)

Eh...Jirachi is a tricky lead to deal with. While most are Trick-Scarf variants, I've seen a few Dual Screeners in the past few weeks. I first wanted to Earthquake his face off, but I predicted he'd U-Turn out (perhaps he wasn't trusting in Iron Head's flinch chance?) and went with Stealth Rock to guarantee it'd get set up. So as of now, a full health Celebi is staring at my 75% Mamoswine, while I have virtually no way of hurting it, (Ice Shard from an unboosted, Jolly Swine ain't doing enough to threaten it) and it likely has Grass Knot (which KOs at this point if I remember correctly).

I had a few options here. I could've kept Mamoswine alive, gone to Scizor, and hopefully Pursuit it for the KO, or U-Turn and dent whatever switched in. However, the biggest problems with that were Hidden Power Fire, Thunder Wave, and even Reflect. Losing Scizor this early in the match would be idiotic, since it's easily more crucial to my team than Mamoswine is. I kind of don't want him to overpredict and for him to predict the Pursuit-user switch and go to something like Magnezone (or even a bulky Fighting-type if he anticipated Tyranitar). I sort of want to keep Mamoswine alive, but if losing him can prevent me from losing Scizor, then that'd be the safest alternative.

Mamoswine used Ice Shard.
It's super effective!

Celebi used Grass Knot.
It's super effective!
Mamoswine lost 75% of its health.
Mr.T's Mamoswine fainted.
Celebi's leftovers restored 6% its health a little!

Well, that didn't work out well whatsoever =( He used Grass Knot, meaning Scizor would've essentially came in for free, and threatened with the Pursuit. Of course, I don't know if he has Hidden Power Fire yet, and at the end of the day, I still felt safer losing Mamo rather than potentially risking Scizor. In a sense, Mamoswine couldn't do much to his team (Jirachi would've owned it any which way, and Celebi, as you can see, takes laughable damage from even the super effective Ice Shard). The scoreboard is in Zak's favor now, and while it seems like I'm at a disadvantage, I always see sacrifices as a way to recap on the battle and try and get back on top. Looking at his Celebi, it has Leftovers, meaning it probably doesn't have Hidden Power Fire (the only time I saw HP Fire was on a Life Orb sweeper), although it could still use Reflect and Thunder Wave.

With all this in mind, I was hesitant to bring in Scizor, but after thinking it over, it truly was the safest choice, and I kick myself now for not having done so in the first place. RIP, Mamo :(

6-5: Zak91

Mr.T switched in Scizor

Gliscor lost 12% of its health.
Mr.T switched in Tyranitar
Tyranitar's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!
A sandstorm brewed!
The sandstorm rages.
Gliscor's leftovers restored 6% its health a little!

I bring in Scizor (finally), and as of now, the thoughts of running through my head. What if it has HP Fire? So far, that's been my biggest fear; losing Scizor to a Celebi. Not only is it completely stupid, it's also a tad embarrasing =( To put my anxiety to rest, I decided to try and lure it out of him. By going to Scizor, it's obvious I'm here to either U-Turn or Pursuit, both of which are potentially fatal (though only U-Turn will guarantee the KO). The best thing for Zak to do here is either use Hidden Power Fire, or switch-out. If he switches, then I'll be able to have my Tyraniboah come in for free. If he uses Hidden Power Fire (honestly, it's what I'm hoping for), then Tyranitar comes in for the scare, and I'll be able to Dark Pulse it, or even get up a Substitute. He probably doubts I'd have two Pursuiters.

The match-up I end up getting into is far from ideal. Gliscor vs. Tyranitar almost always ends up with Gliscor coming out on top, especially when the Tyranitar is CB. Unfortunately for Zak, this is not a Choice Band Tyranitar, it's a Boah. A Boah with Ice Beam might I add. If Zak is keen on predicting, he'll likely expect me to switch-out, giving him a free Swords Dance or time to set-up Stealth Rock. If I'm right, which I should be, he'll try and stat up on my switch. It's risky, but I'll have to take it if I want the rest of my team to sweep easier.

Score! With Gliscor gone, Scizor will have more breathing room, and won't have any trouble U-Turning the hell out of his team. So far, the match is even, 5-5, and both of us have seen half of each others team. Just by looking at Jirachi / Celebi / Gliscor, and the fact that Gliscor was using Stealth Rock, I can tell he's using a more defensive team, which is somewhat good and somewhat bad for me. Good in the sense that my sweepers will be able to set up more likely than not, but bad since they can potentially survive my attacks and stall me out. I'm expecting Jirachi to rear its ugly head again, and while I definately don't want it to Iron Head me, it could potentially U-Turn out.

If it uses U-Turn, I can Substitute again and go for either a Focus Punch or even a Dark Pulse (he'll likely bait a Focus Punch and go to Celebi to soak it up, although it won't do much for me, as it's extra damage). Still, if it uses Iron Head, I'm screwed. I've already had one too many sacrifices (Mamoswine), so I'm pretty sure it's time to play carefully, and rely on my team's natural resistances.

Hopefully you know which Scizor is which.

Like I expected, Jirachi comes in. Knowing it's a physical Scarf variant, I expected it to Iron Head for the KO (or 2HKO most likely). Because of this, I went to Scizor, hoping to Pursuit and perhaps deal enough damage so that the next time it can in, it'd be easy picking. Unfortunately, Zak made a better prediction and U-Turned to the safety of his own Scizor. The two, red armored bugs face off, both are likely Choice Banded, at least mine is. I have a few options now, I could U-Turn myself, hope I lose the Speed tie and hit whatever he brings in, or, I could use Superpower and hope he tries and Bullet Punches me. By looking at his team, he definately would not switch-in Celebi (whom I'm now certain lacks HP Fire) meaning Superpower would either hit his own Scizor, his Jirachi, or something else I haven't seen yet...and then it hits me...

...Gliscor's dead. So far, I've seen two Fighting resists; Celebi and Gliscor. I'd highly doubt he'd pack a third (unless he has something like Gengar or Dusknoir, of course the former is fragile, and the latter is set up bait for Tyranitar fortunately) Fighting resist. The safest option is definately Superpower, hitting Scizor and Jirachi for a ton of damage.

That worked out perfectly! Jirachi's at low enough health that a second Superpower will finish it off, and he confirmed that his Scizor is Choice Banded. There's little need to switch-out, as I doubt Iron Head is going to KO me at this point (if he wants to Fire Punch, then fine by me, that's another chance to set-up Tyranitar). Superpower is going to smash it.

Now Jirachi lives and Scizor dies at the same time. Ugh, no point in keeping it alive, since it's death fodder currently anyway, and if it switches out and comes back in, Stealth Rock will kill it.

Yeah, there's the KO I was worried about. While it may seem like I'm on the losing side, but with Iron Head being a Steel-type move (thus one of the worst, and most easy to wall), I have the prime chance to set-up one of my end-game sweepers. It may not be late-game, but missing out on such an opprotunity would be sinful!

Hmm...Celebi isn't the kindest thing to Empoleon generally. Ice Beam hurts and all, but it won't OHKO. Even a Petaya boosted Ice Beam fails to net an OHKO, and while I would really like to finish it off right here (Ice Beam 2HKOs I believe, with Sandstorm and the Stealth Rock damage taken, it should guarantee it), by seeing Grass Knot and Recover, as well as Leftovers, it makes me think Celebi is running a standard Thunder Wave support set. A paralysed Empoleon would be terrible, and while I certainly don't want to ruin its sweep. I'll go for the Substitute to ensure I come out on top.

That couldn't have worked out any better! I've got my Substitute up, and Ice Beam is going to demolish it. I could Agility up again, just to ensure I outrun everything, however, I don't see the point of it, and decided to Ice Beam for the (hopeful) 2HKO.

Hmm...Ice Beam is an easy 2HKO, which surprised me honestly. I'm either guessing he's running no SpD EVs, or not maximum HP. Either way, I threaten to 2HKO right here, right now. I could Substitute and hope he switches, though it won't do much good, as I outrun everything on his team currently, and threaten to OHKO everyone pretty much with a Torrent boosted Surf (I think it KOs Celebi from here also). Considering he knows Empoleon's going to destroy whatever he has left with Surf, removing the main threat (Celebi) is obviously top priority. Bye you salad freak ^__^

Ouch, that's not good. Starmie is another thing that can potentially cause Empoleon harm without its Petaya boost. It absorbed the Ice Beam comfortably, and Thunderbolt (hoping it doesn't run it!) will prevent me from subbing up and hitting it from the Sub's safety. There is honestly only one option; set up the wrath of SubPetaya Empoleon! Basically, rely on the power of a Torrent boosted Surf!

Interesting play, hmm...I get behind the safety of a Substitute, but Starmie gets to full health. Obviously, even a Petaya Torrent Surf fails to OHKO (though it does come damn close). Luckily for me, however, I Subbed, meaning I can Surf it, and hopefully kill it with two Surfs (one while unboosted, and one that's boosted). It just has to work, otherwise I'm screwed.

Wow...Surf did a lot more than I expected it to do. Starmie's now at 69%, meaning that if it Recovers, all I have to do is keep Surfing it until it gets lower, or keep Subbing until the Petaya Berry activates and I get into Torrent range, Surf, and pray to god that it KOs from here...So out of these two options, Subbing is obviously the safer option, letting me live the Thunderbolt and ultimately getting me the Petaya boost, however, if he Recovers, I've wasted a turn and he's back at full health, while I have to Surf him again, and may end up with him at a higher HP than he was prior. Of course, if he Thunderbolts and I Surf, failing to KO him, he not only kills Empoleon, but pretty much wins the entire match, as my Starmie can only Thunderbolt him (Scizor bait).

Oh my GOD that killed it! For those of who who don't know yet, a Modest Petaya Berry Surf with Torrent deals between 58.98%-69.83%. The chance of it actually killing was so amazingly low, the chances were actually against me. Still, now that the scoreboard is tied again, I've got to keep on my toes. He still has a Scizor that can potentially outrun me, and he still has one unseen Pokemon, meaning he could have anything from a Blissey to a Vaporeon in his midst. I can only hope for the best.

Hmm...that's an interesting switch. I was expecting him to bring in Scizor for the Bullet Punch (which would've failed to KO, guess that's why I was hoping and expecting it). Instead, I get a Scarf Jirachi as his answer to a +2 Speed Empoleon. I'm under the assumption I outrun and KO it from here...since it's a bulky version with Trick / Iron Head / Stealth Rock / U-Turn, right? Right.

Oh ****...that changes things significantly. Apparently, he's running a Scarf Jirachi (probably with Fire Punch and Ice Punch) with enough Speed to outpace even a Timid AgiliPoleon. Not only is that bad in the sense that I lose my last hope of sweeping his team, but because if it's Jolly, it may outrun my Starmie (I run Modest Scarf)...Being locked in Fire Punch still is a pretty easy situation to work out of, namely with Tyranitar ;)

Excellent, just as expected, I substituted on his switch, to...a Tyranitar. What was he trying to do? I was anticipating a switch to Scizor, U-Turn on the baited Focus Punch, and then straight to Celebi. I'm guessing he didn't want to risk his Scizor being outrun by a faster Tyranitar for the Flamethrower? I still don't know, but since his Tyranitar is using Leftovers, it's one of three things: 1) A CurseTar, which posses literally no threat to my own Tyranitar. 2) A Dragon Dancer, which won't DD with me being a Sub threatening to potentially Focus Punch. 3) A foe Tyraniboah. In all three cases, I hold the advantage, being able to Focus Punch for the KO. He's going to die whether he likes it or not, unless of course, he baits it to Celebi...

...Which is another story. If he does so, he could still potentially die from SS + Focus Punch + Stealth Rock, meaning he'd waste a way to break my Boah's Sub, and since Scizor is going to either die from Focus Punch, or force something else to take the full powered Focus Punch (thus dying it from it as well), switching isn't likely. Perhaps he's letting his own Tyranitar die for the chance to break my Sub while also staying on top in terms of who has the freedom to move. Whatever the case, Focus Punch is the safest move in this case.

Tyranitar is tightening its focus!

Now that I can see what he was trying to do, I can only commend him for the excellent prediction. The scoreboard may be tied, but he's obviously got the upper hand in a sense that nothing on my team wants to take a Choice Banded U-Turn. Salamence is my only resist, and that gets waxed with Stealth Rock up, plus Scarf Jirachi just gets a free switch-in and Ice Punches it to death. The only real option I have is to let Tyranitar die, revenge kill the Jirachi with Starmie, and hopefully Surf his Tyranitar twice while it Dragon Dances (I really want him to overpredict here, as it can potentially save me in the long run). I can only hope for the best.

Predictable kill, there was nothing I could really do here since Tyranitar was the weakest link. Starmie outruns the rest of his team, can kill Jirachi, resists Scizor's Bullet Punch, and hits Tyranitar hard with a STAB Surf. Salamence is able to stay shatter Tyranitar with Earthquake, and also live a U-Turn or Superpower from Scizor easily, killing it with Fire Fang. Tyranitar just doesn't cut it sadly, and while it pains me to see my favorite Pokemon go down, we all have to make sacrifices =(

Hehe, I finally see that damn Jirachi die. It's been terrorizing my team for much too long, and I'm assuming he thought I was running a standard Life Orb or Spinner Starmie. Nope, this is a Scarf Starmie, with Trick specifically made to screw over Blissey and some Vaporeon for Empoleon's sweep. Unfortunately, it has no time for trickery, and has to kill Jirachi. As of now, Tyranitar is likely to come in, and while it can potentially DD up and try and kill me, I'm not going to let it. I'm going to go all out, hope it DDs, and then try and kill it in two Surfs. I'm Modest, so it should kill it in two.

Well that was terrible. I was expecting him to use something such as Crunch, or even Pursuit (would've been a better situation for me, as I could've set up). Sadly, it seems Zak runs either a ResTalk Tyranitar, or a Curse Tyranitar. Unforunately for him, both sets are unable to handle Salamence, meaning I can kill it, however, I was still not able to finish it off, stripping a mere 38% off it. The match has boiled down to our last Pokemon; my Salamence vs. his Tyranitar and Scizor. Tyranitar is easy to take down, as a Life Orb Earthquake will shatter it, however, Scizor is a much more problamatic threat. Bullet Punch bypasses my Speed advantage, and still nails me hard. I do, however, feel Salamence can live a Bullet Punch and Fire Fang him for the OHKO...I'm on my last leg for victory.

Salamence's biggest flaw, in my opinion, is his Stealth Rock weaknesses, meaning by just switching in, launching a hit, and taking Stealth Rock damage, he's already halfway dead. The odds are highly against me, sadly. Bullet Punch from a 591 Attack stat is really strong, and Salamence is low on health, didn't get off Intimidate, and has no defensive investment...Things are looking grim.

Team Ass Vs Aurafire lol

Well ive been lacking in motivation recently for pokemon and stuff irl too mainly due to family worries and what not. At the risk of being called emo ill just get on with the log. ~_~

So basically i thought id make a team of "ass pokes" (all nu pokes) hence why this team is called "team ass" i guess to see if i could have a bit of fun. The first version of this team lost to Anti's Team Luvdisc (But that does have 3 ou's) 1-0. So i revamped it.

Im basically just trying to wear him down here, he will have to switch and because now his STAB move is useless thanks to Color Change and is being worn down by Toxic so i keep Body Slamming to hit what ever switches in.

Aura switched in Gardevoir.
Gardevoir traced Kecleon's Color Change!
Pointed stones dug into Gardevoir.
Gardevoir was hurt by Spikes!

---

Mawile used Swords Dance.
Mawile's attack was sharply raised.
Slowbro used Slack Off.
Slowbro restored 50% of its health.

I predict the Slack Off due to all the Spikes, SR and Toxic damage he is taking and use the time to Swords Dance so i can nail it next turn.

It's super effective!
Slowbro lost 68% of its health.
Slowbro used Surf.
Mawile lost 67% of its health.
Slowbro's leftovers restored its health a little!

Convo said:
dark azelf: olol
Aura: oh <Insert swears>

A +2 Expert Belt Sucker Punch does reasonable damage especially because Slowbro is very tanky on the physical side. He lives with one hp though. >.<
---

Mawile used Iron Head.
It's not very effective...
Slowbro lost 1% of its health.
Aura's Slowbro fainted.

Blaziken lost 3% of its health.

dark azelf switched in Wailord.
Pointed stones dug into Wailord.

Score = 1 -2 Dark_Azelf

I play safe here and U-Turn in case he wanted to switch (Although i doubt he would with all the spikes up). This tells me his Blaziken is scarfed and so he uses it as death fodder due to it having 2 hp left and being useless.

Convo said:

First time posting a DP Battle Log. Hope you enjoy. :]

Some of you older members may remember me as an avid and skilled ADV battler with a recent trek into DP OU and some of the newer members may remember that I posted a couple of DP OU teams here a few months ago. After battling some rather average players I wanted to find someone good and challenge him or her to see how far I've really come in DP. So I challenged a kid with a ridiculous win to loss ratio and hoped that he had amassed that record against better players.

My thoughts are going to be in bold. A couple parts of the chat log I found entertaining I left in, those will be in italics. The score after each KO will be bolded and colored.

My Team:
*pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed*

Pokemon with Leftovers: Metagross, Gyarados and Azelf.

[Columbia] 4-4-2's Team (In Order of Appearance):
*pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed*

Pokemon with Leftovers: Skarmory and Celebi.

Rules:

Twinkies vs [Columbia] 4-4-2. Begin!
Twinkies sent out Metagross (Lv.100 Metagross)!
[Columbia] 4-4-2 sent out LGFM (Lv.100 Flygon)!

Begin Turn #1
Twinkies withdrew Metagross!
Twinkies sent out Salamence (Lv.100 Salamence)!
Salamence's Intimidate cuts LGFM's Attack!
---------------------------------
LGFM used Earthquake!
It doesn't affect Salamence...
---------------------------------
End of turn #1
Twinkies's Salamence: 331 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's LGFM: 100% HP

Here I switch out predicting an EQ from Flygon because no matter how bulky my Meta is I'm sure he won't survive an STAB EQ from Flygon.

Begin Turn #2

So I assume his Flygon is Scarfed and thus locked into Earthquake and he'll switch out so I'm going to Draco Meteor with Mence figuring I'll have to switch it out next turn anyway and I want to hit whatever he switches in hard.

[Columbia] 4-4-2 withdrew LGFM!
[Columbia] 4-4-2 sent out Pompeii (Lv.100 Heatran)!
---------------------------------
Salamence used Draco Meteor!
(43% damage)
It's not very effective...
Salamence's Special Attack sharply fell!
Salamence is hurt by its Life Orb!
---------------------------------

Okay...So EQ would have done a better job but I was right in assuming that I'll have to switch out next turn because he'll send in his Salamence counter. I should have thought of Heatran. x_x

End of turn #2
Twinkies's Salamence: 298 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Pompeii: 57% HP

Begin Turn #3
Twinkies withdrew Salamence!
Twinkies sent out Metagross (Lv.100 Metagross)!

I figure it's ScarfTran and that he's going to Dragon Pulse me. So I'm going to switch to my Dragon resist.

---------------------------------
Pompeii used Hidden Power!
(48 damage)
It's not very effective...
---------------------------------

Well not Dragon Pulse but I still get the desired result.

End of turn #3
Twinkies's Metagross: 338 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Pompeii: 57% HP

Begin Turn #4
[Columbia] 4-4-2 withdrew Pompeii!
[Columbia] 4-4-2 sent out Gen. Tso (Lv.100 Skarmory)!
---------------------------------
Metagross used Stealth Rock!
Pointed stones float in the air around [Columbia] 4-4-2's team!
---------------------------------

Again I assume he is now locked into HP [Ice] so I take this opportunity to set up Stealth Rock and he switches to his Steel resistant and Ground immune Steel Bird Skarmory.

End of turn #4
Twinkies's Metagross: 360 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Gen. Tso: 100% HP

Begin Turn #5
Twinkies withdrew Metagross!
Twinkies sent out Azelf (Lv.100 Azelf)!
---------------------------------
Gen. Tso used Stealth Rock!
Pointed stones float in the air around Twinkies's team!
---------------------------------

I switch to Azelf since it has Flamethrower and he predicts the switch and sets up Rocks himself so now we both have those Rocks down that everyone loves and hates so much.

End of turn #5
Twinkies's Azelf: 293 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Gen. Tso: 100% HP

Begin Turn #6

Alright so I know he expects that probably have Fire Blast or Flamethrower having switched to Azelf after I layed Rocks so I except him to pick the safe move and switch to Heatran.

[Columbia] 4-4-2 withdrew Gen. Tso!
[Columbia] 4-4-2 sent out Pompeii (Lv.100 Heatran)!
---------------------------------
Azelf used Hidden Power!
(45% damage)
It's super effective!
Pompeii fainted!
---------------------------------

Which he does and I get a nice out prediction KO with an HP Ground.

Score: 6-5

[Columbia] 4-4-2: wait
[Columbia] 4-4-2: im being played lol
[Columbia] 4-4-2: i should pay more attention
Twinkies: haha
[Columbia] 4-4-2: damn
[Columbia] 4-4-2: prob hp fighting

Not paying attention yet switching to Heatran obviously expecting a Fire move? Personally I just think he's upset he got outpredicted. Kinda cute really.

[Columbia] 4-4-2 sent out LGFM (Lv.100 Flygon)!
Pointed stones dug into LGFM!
End of turn #6
Twinkies's Azelf: 293 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's LGFM: 94% HP

Alright alright so he sends his his Flygon which like I mentioned earlier is probably Scarfed.

Begin Turn #7
LGFM used U-turn!
(206 damage)
It's super effective!
LGFM went back to [Columbia] 4-4-2!
[Columbia] 4-4-2 sent out Icarus (Lv.100 Scizor)!
---------------------------------
Azelf used Explosion!
(75% damage)
It's not very effective...
Azelf fainted!
---------------------------------

So he U-turns and I Explode leaving a huge dent in Scizor but losing my Pokemon. A minor annoyance but not a HUGE problem.

Score: 5-5

Twinkies sent out Scizor (Lv.100 Scizor)!
Pointed stones dug into Scizor!
End of turn #7
Twinkies's Scizor: 300 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Icarus: 13% HP

I make the safe move and send in Scizor and go for a Bullet Punch.

Begin Turn #8
[Columbia] 4-4-2 withdrew Icarus!
[Columbia] 4-4-2 sent out Gen. Tso (Lv.100 Skarmory)!
---------------------------------
Scizor used Bullet Punch!
(15% damage)
It's not very effective...
---------------------------------

And of course he sends in Skarmory to take the Bullet Punch.

End of turn #8
Twinkies's Scizor: 300 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Gen. Tso: 79% HP

Begin Turn #9
Twinkies withdrew Scizor!
Twinkies sent out Salamence (Lv.100 Salamence)!
Salamence's Intimidate cuts Gen. Tso's Attack!
---------------------------------
Gen. Tso used Brave Bird!
(111 damage)
Gen. Tso is hit with recoil!
---------------------------------
End of turn #9
Twinkies's Salamence: 105 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Gen. Tso: 74% HP

I send in Mence against Skarm because he's my last remaning Flamethrower user.

Begin Turn #10
[Columbia] 4-4-2 withdrew Gen. Tso!
[Columbia] 4-4-2 sent out Titian (Lv.100 Infernape)!
---------------------------------
Salamence used Flamethrower!
(30% damage)
It's not very effective...
Salamence is hurt by its Life Orb!
---------------------------------

He predicts the Flamethrower and sends in his Infernape but I still do a good amount of damage to it.

End of turn #10
Twinkies's Salamence: 72 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Titian: 58% HP

Begin Turn #11
Titian used Close Combat!
(72 damage)
It's not very effective...
Titian's Defense fell!
Titian's Special Defense fell!
Salamence fainted!
---------------------------------

I just let Mence die as it doesn't really matter.

Score: 4-5

Twinkies sent out Gyarados (Lv.100 Gyarados)!
Gyarados's Intimidate cuts Titian's Attack!
End of turn #11
Twinkies's Gyarados: 283 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Titian: 58% HP

Begin Turn #12
[Columbia] 4-4-2 withdrew Titian!
[Columbia] 4-4-2 sent out Yatta (Lv.100 Celebi)!
---------------------------------
Gyarados used Dragon Dance!
Gyarados's Attack rose!
Gyarados's Speed rose!
---------------------------------

I predict a switch and use that opportunity Dragon Dance.

End of turn #12
Twinkies's Gyarados: 304 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Yatta: 94% HP
Begin Turn #13
Gyarados sprang up!
---------------------------------
Yatta used Leech Seed!
Yatta's attack missed!
---------------------------------

I figure he'll Leech Seed and I don't want that so I Bounce up to dodge it and it should force Celebi to switch as it doesn't want to take a 85 base power move with STAB that it has a weakness to.

End of turn #13
Twinkies's Gyarados: 325 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Yatta: 100% HP

[Columbia] 4-4-2: oh no
[Columbia] 4-4-2: not this thing

xd?

Begin Turn #14
[Columbia] 4-4-2 withdrew Yatta!
[Columbia] 4-4-2 sent out Gen. Tso (Lv.100 Skarmory)!
---------------------------------
Gyarados used Bounce!
(20% damage)
It's not very effective...
---------------------------------

He switches to Skarm which resists my Bounce but that's alright.

End of turn #14
Twinkies's Gyarados: 346 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Gen. Tso: 47% HP

Begin Turn #15
Gyarados used Waterfall!
(40% damage)
---------------------------------
Gen. Tso used Roost!
Gen. Tso regained health!
---------------------------------

I figured he'd Roar or Whirlwind but I guess not.

End of turn #15
Twinkies's Gyarados: 349 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Gen. Tso: 63% HP

Begin Turn #16
Gyarados used Waterfall!
(39% damage)
---------------------------------
Gen. Tso used Whirlwind!
Gyarados was blown away!
Metagross (Lv.100 Metagross) was dragged out!
---------------------------------

Ahh there it is, good old Whirlwind and it drug Metagross out. Better that than Scizor I suppose.

End of turn #16
Twinkies's Metagross: 360 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Gen. Tso: 30% HP

Begin Turn #17
[Columbia] 4-4-2 withdrew Gen. Tso!

Pointed stones dug into LGFM!
---------------------------------
Metagross used Explosion!
(88% damage)
LGFM fainted!
Metagross fainted!
---------------------------------

I explode here looking to KO something. He probably thought I'd switch to Gyarados or somthing.

Score: 3-4

Twinkies sent out Gyarados (Lv.100 Gyarados)!
[Columbia] 4-4-2 sent out Yatta (Lv.100 Celebi)!

Begin Turn #19
[Columbia] 4-4-2 withdrew Yatta!
[Columbia] 4-4-2 sent out Gen. Tso (Lv.100 Skarmory)!
Pointed stones dug into Gen. Tso!
---------------------------------
Gyarados used Bounce!
(15% damage)
It's not very effective...
Gen. Tso is paralyzed! It may be unable to move!
---------------------------------

He switches to Skarmory to save his Celebi. The para would have been cool if it were needed...

End of turn #19
Twinkies's Gyarados: 178 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Gen. Tso: 9% HP (Par)

Begin Turn #20
Gyarados used Waterfall!
(9% damage)
Gen. Tso fainted!
---------------------------------

He let's Skarmory die and I score the easy KO.

Score: 3-3

[Columbia] 4-4-2 sent out Titian (Lv.100 Infernape)!
End of turn #20
Twinkies's Gyarados: 199 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Titian: 46% HP

Begin Turn #21
Titian used Stone Edge!
(199 damage)
A critical hit!
It's super effective!
Gyarados fainted!
---------------------------------

I just let Gyarados die here as I didn't really see something better I could have done. Things are looking kinda bad for me now though.

Score: 2-3

Twinkies sent out Latias (Lv.100 Latias)!
End of turn #21
Twinkies's Latias: 298 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Titian: 46% HP

I send out Latias here seeing it as the best move for me as it'll probably be able to outspeed his Infernape.

Begin Turn #22
[Columbia] 4-4-2 withdrew Titian!
[Columbia] 4-4-2 sent out Yatta (Lv.100 Celebi)!
---------------------------------
Latias used Surf!
(17% damage)
It's not very effective...
Latias is hurt by its Life Orb!
---------------------------------

Yeah I figured he'd send in Celebi, nothing really to say about this except I should have just Draco Meteor'd as either that or Surf would have KO'd his weakened Infernape and hit Celebi hard but oh well sometimes you make silly mistakes in the heat of intense battle.

End of turn #22
Twinkies's Latias: 264 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Yatta: 77% HP

Begin Turn #23
Latias used Draco Meteor!
(72% damage)
Latias's Special Attack sharply fell!
Latias is hurt by its Life Orb!
---------------------------------
Yatta used Leech Seed!
Latias was seeded!
---------------------------------

I know he's going to Leech Seed me here so I just hit him as hard as I can so I can switch out next turn on a Recover.

End of turn #23
Twinkies's Latias: 188 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Yatta: 22% HP

Begin Turn #24
Twinkies withdrew Latias!
Twinkies sent out Scizor (Lv.100 Scizor)!
Pointed stones dug into Scizor!
---------------------------------
Yatta used Recover!
Yatta regained health!
---------------------------------

Yep just as I thought, Recover and I get a safe switch in.

End of turn #24
Twinkies's Scizor: 258 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Yatta: 78% HP

Begin Turn #25
Yatta used Leech Seed!
Scizor was seeded!
---------------------------------
Scizor used U-turn!
(77% damage)
It's super effective!
Scizor went back to Twinkies!
Yatta fainted!
---------------------------------

U-Turn was the best option here as it would KO any of his switch-ins he had left or Celebi. He leaves his Celebi in to Leech Seed for some reason and I score a KO and get to avoid his next Pokemon getting back any valuable HP from Leech Seed.

Score: 2-2

End of turn #25
Twinkies's Scizor: 258 HP

Begin Turn #26
Twinkies sent out Latias (Lv.100 Latias)!
[Columbia] 4-4-2 sent out Icarus (Lv.100 Scizor)!
---------------------------------
End of turn #26
Twinkies's Latias: 146 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Icarus: 1% HP

Begin Turn #27
Twinkies withdrew Latias!
Twinkies sent out Scizor (Lv.100 Scizor)!
---------------------------------
Icarus used Bullet Punch!
(174 damage)
A critical hit!
It's not very effective...
---------------------------------

I switch to Scizor here because I figured Latias would die from a Bullet Punch and Scizor Resists it so why not. So I switch in Scizor and he gets a CH but no worries as I know my Scizor will be faster than his as I invest 12 Speed EVs as opposed to the standard CB Scizor to ensure that I outspeed them.

End of turn #27
Twinkies's Scizor: 42 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Icarus: 1% HP

Begin Turn #28
Scizor used Bullet Punch!
(1% damage)
It's not very effective...
Icarus fainted!
---------------------------------

Just as I expected my Scizor outspeeds his and I get the KO.

Score: 2-1

[Columbia] 4-4-2 sent out Titian (Lv.100 Infernape)!
End of turn #28
Twinkies's Scizor: 42 HP
[Columbia] 4-4-2's Titian: 34% HP

Now all I need is for this Bullet Punch to KO and I'll have won a hard fought battle.

Begin Turn #29
Scizor used Bullet Punch!
(33% damage)
It's not very effective...
Titian fainted!

End Battle! Twinkies wins!
Score: 2 to 0

Yay I won! lol

Well that about does it. I hope miss any Leftovers recovery and Leech Seed and Stealth Rock damage I was supposed to edit out or forget to comment on something important.

Thanks for reading and comments on my play are welcome and extremely encouraged. :D

Hax Doesn't Even Begin To Cover It...

All right, I got bored, so I decided to do some UU laddering on the Smogon Server with my lastest UU team. I got a bunch of easy wins in a row, and one loss that was pathetic on my part (Swept by a friggin Meganium >.<). This match was easily the MOST annoying match of my life, but I thought it was also one of the most suspenseful and entertaining as well. Therefore, enjoy the log!

My (KP-Jacob's)Team (In Order of Appearance):

Blue will be my commentary throughout the match
Green will be the chit-chat between me and Dark Slash
Black is the actual battle
Stealth Rock damage, Leftovers recovery, and Poison/Burn damage will be omitted after they occur
Format Note: (My Pokemon on this side) vs (Dark Slash's Pokemon on this side)
Rules:
Ladder Match
Sleep Clause
Freeze Clause
OHKO Clause

OKAY....READY SET GO!!!

vs

Nidoqueen used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!
Registeel used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!

All right, not a bad start at all. We both set up our rocks for the entire match. Thankfully for me, I don't have a single SR weak Pokemon on my team, so his SR doesn't bother me in the least bit. At this point things aren't looking bad at all.

Nidoqueen used Earthquake.
It's super effective!
Registeel lost 30% of its health.
Registeel used Iron Head.
Nidoqueen lost 20% of its health.
Registeel's leftovers restored its health a little!
Registeel restored 6% of its health.

That was mainly a damage scout on my part, both defensively and offensively. I know for a fact that Nidoqueen isn't able to even 2HKO me, let alone 3HKO me. Iron Head isn't doing too hot either, as I pretty much 5HKO/6HKO. Might as well keep going, so I can secure a solid kill with Explosion (Although switching to Mismagius probably would have worked out way better). I also notice at this point that his Nidoqueen has a Lum Berry since it doesn't have Leftovers, which doesn't mean much to me anyways.

Nidoqueen used Earthquake.
It's super effective!
Registeel lost 32% of its health.
Registeel used Iron Head.
Nidoqueen lost 19% of its health.

More attacking is more attacking. Not really much to say here at all XD

Nidoqueen used Earthquake.
It's super effective!
Registeel lost 31% of its health.
Registeel used Explosion.
Nidoqueen lost 61% of its health.
Dark Slash's Nidoqueen fainted.
KP-Jacob's Registeel fainted.

AND BOOM!!!! Registeel rips apart itself and Nidoqueen out of the picture permanently, although I really should have just switched to Mismagius. It probably would have been a lot less of a headache, and I could have kept Registeel for later.

Score: 5-5 (Tie)

vs

KP-Jacob switched in Espeon.
Dark Slash switched in Uxie.
Espeon used Signal Beam.
It's super effective!
Uxie lost 61% of its health.
Uxie used Light Screen.
A barrier was formed!

Uxie has monstrous defenses, but Specs Espeon isn't afraid at all. Signal Beam is a guaranteed 2HKO on Uxie, even with that peskey Light Screen up. I know I can kill it, so attacking I go!

...Until that piece of junk comes in to sponge the hit. Even with Stealth Rock, only a measly 35 percent comes off of that guy. Locked into Signal Beam, I'm stuck to going to my only form of assurance against Arcanine to at least tank the hit. GO GO MILTANK!!!

That was...unexpected. You rarely see any sort of support Arcanine running around. I can just Heal Bell of the burn whenever, and I can take at least another shot from it anyways. Might as well cripple him too so I have a better shot in the long run of taking it out.

Oh boy, this is just going to get freaking annoying for me. I'm completely hoping for some needed parahax at this point so I can set up a free Swords Dance on this guy. What I SHOULD have done was use Stone Edge for the KO (Which I'm pretty sure I could have gotten on it with no Intimidate drop), but alas, I wasn't thinking :P.

Toxicroak used Swords Dance.

Yeah, hax never comes when I want it. I can just heal off all the damage he has been causing with Stealth Rock, so it doesn't bother me much. The fact that he doesn't get to see any new members of my team made me happy as well. I also need to kill that burn, or his attacks and the burn damage is going to kill me.

Miltank used Heal Bell.
Arcanine used Flamethrower.
Miltank lost 39% of its health.

Healing is healing, and not much more to it. I survive ~25 percent of my health too, so I can guarantee myself a Milk Drink and get back into the upper half of my HP.

Miltank restored 44% of its health.
Arcanine used Will-o-wisp.

You know, that attack never misses when you want it too. Oh well, I got my HP back up, and I can heal the burn right back off without any fear, as I can tank at least one more shot from that thing.

Miltank used Heal Bell.
Arcanine used Will-o-wisp.
Miltank was burned!

Hit number three for Will-O-Wisp, that 85% accuracy clearly doesn't want to go against him. Oh well, I'm still doing well on health, so meh.

...Really? That is just awful. At this point, I either A: Use Heal Bell and die to Flamethrower, or B: Use Milk Drink to gain back my scarce HP, get hit with Flamethrower, then die by burn. Either way it isn't looking good for me, quite frankly I'm screwed. I'll just heal the burn, why not. Maybe he'll try WoW again and I'll get lucky ^^. Gamebreaking Hax Count: 1

The newest UU addition pops its ugly head in, but Toxicroak has no fear today. I get in a free Swords Dance, and I'm not too afraid of Hypnosis at this point, as most only carry it if they are leading (From what I've seen at least XD). I'm prediction the obvious Air Slash, so Sucker Punch away!

Dark Slash's Team (In Order of Appearance):

Ársa · May 30, 2009

Never give up, never back down - OU Battle Log

Intro:

I recently made a new team, designed around an SDLuke sweep. I was testing it on Shoddy, changing here and there where I saw fit. The battle before this, I removed Rotom-H for Zapdos... you'll see why this is important later.

My Team:

*pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed**pokemonelite2000 image removed*

Legend:

"image removed" signifies Leftovers.
"image removed" signifies Choice Band.

signifies Life Orb.

signifies Expert Belt.

Tortured_Soul will be in Green.
LunarEclipse will be in Purple.
Recovery will be in Pink.
Damage will be in Red.

- Stealth Rock damage will be included.
- Spikes damage will be included.
- Leftovers recovery will be removed.
- Sandstorm damage will be removed.

BEGIN!

Rules: Ladder Match, Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Evasion Clause, Species Clause, Strict Damage Clause, Soul Dew Clause

*pokemonelite2000 image removed*"image removed" vs *pokemonelite2000 image removed*

Ok, not good. There goes my main TTar and Luke check for later in the game. Frankly, I didn't expect a lead Infernape to be running HP Ice, as most I've seen have been Stealth Rock leads. I switch to Zapdos, seeing as HP Ice does pitiful damage, and I can set my screen early.

5-6

Ok, well that didn't work out well at all. My main sweeper is now a liablity, thanks to Thunder Wave. I decide to stay in and at least try to KO Blissey, who would be a problem to the rest of the team. Unfortunately, hax kicks in and I'm left stranded in front of a Cut Forme Rotom. (Not that it would have mattered, since I was using Close Combat) Since I obviously can't stay in, I switch to Snorlax, hopefully able to KO with Crunch.

Looking at it, he should have WoW'd me at that point, but how was he to know Snorlax was Banded? Maybe when it didn't recover from Leftovers...

Ouch. I switched in Lucario expecting the T-Wave and instead got a Flamethrower in the face. Now I know it has Flamethrower, I'm fairly sure it won't have Ice Beam as well. This is good news for Salamence, but means Lucario becomes even more useless... I switch Tyranitar into Blissey and take the next Flamethrower, as long as it doesn't burn hopefully it scares Blissey out. Because seriously, Tyranitar would only ever be holding Choice Band, Life Orb or Leftovers right?

Ok, that wasn't cool. Double Parahax in a row cost me an opportunity to KO Salamence. Expert Belt Ice Beam was a OHKO, and I had two shots at it. At this moment, with Salamence having a DD under it's belt I needed to kill it off, and the only way how was with Lucario. I switch in Lucario and go for the obvious option, praying there's no more parahax.

The same old happens here. Rotom subs, I break it, he attacks, I roost while he subs. Basically, I'm winning the war here, he's losing more health than he gains and I can just Roost off damage. Plus, I got my screens back up again. (At the moment though, it seems they're only useful to reduce damage against Zapdos itself)...

Ok, a mixed bag here. I finally removed that damned pink blob which was annoying Zapdos to no end. Snorlax unfortunately also goes down, but I know I have the soldiers left to get the job done. Amazing considering how the match started out. Becuase he U-turned to kill, I see his Infernape come in and have a few options. I decide to go with Zapdos, since I'm fairly sure he's not running Stone Edge and I can Roost off any damage, while KO'ing easily. Also, I assume it's running a Choice Scarf, but not positive. (Cannot be Life Orb or Leftovers)...

Ok, in comes the haunted lawnmower for yet another round with Zapdos. I get my screens up once again, having damaged Infernape and restored health myself, I'm in a pretty decent position. Since Rotom isn't behind a Sub, I'm thinking he's just using it as fodder to get something else in on Zapdos. I don't care, this thing has to go...

LunarEclipse: apparently I struggle with Zapdos

Yes, it seems you do ^_^. Finally that things been taken care of. Zapdos is single-handedly pulling me back into the match. I've once again restored health, removed a threat and put up screens.

It seems he decided Mence wasn't going to be of much use anymore, and used it to damage Zapdos enough that hopefully Scizor could do something. Dragon Claw takes a large dent, but I manage to KO Salamence, evening the ledger at 3-3. He brings in Scizor, who I decided I wasn't going to risk Zapdos on with it's health as low as that. I send in my own Mence to take the Bullet Punch and cut Scizor's attack...

Ok, that wasn't too bad. I saw his last pokemon and sacrificed Salamence to make sure it wasn't a problem. It's even still at 2-2.

Wow, I should have expected Overheat. It left Zapdos with a measly 3% to fall back on. This also confirmed in my mind that it was indeed Scarfed, not that it mattered in the end. I did have Lucario and it's Extremespeed in the wings, so even if it did KO Zappy I 'should' have won.

Into the Battle, Into the Sandstorm!

Introduction: Hello all. This is my first battle log; I hope you all will enjoy reading this, as much as I enjoyed the battle itself. I know it may sound crazy, but the team I made up for this battle was from an almost filled box of EV trained Pokemon. And plus, I'm still a bit new at battling. The guy, named Omar (I met him on a different forums), who I was going against had almost a team full of OUs, so I decided to try an OU team. It literally took me 5 to 10 minutes to make up the team. I know, I know. Not a wise thing to do, when setting up at the last minute, but you'll see how this goes.

Battle: Standard level 100 OUs.

Color Chart:
Light Blue is my Pokemon.
Purple is the opponent's Pokemon.
Brown is comments by me.
We both have voice chats off.

I expected a switch to happen, but I went with U-Turn, since my Scizor is my scout/killing Pokemon. I wanted to see what he would switch into.

I sent out Togekiss, seeing how most of Scizor's attacks are completely walled by Togekiss. I thought the Scizor would have switched maybe, but I guess not.

Swampert lost 22% of its health.
Togekiss - 100%
Swampert - 83%
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Now, that's not what I expected. I don't usually see a lot of baton passing Scizor's in battles. And the biggest problem for my team currently is Swampert. I don't have any grass moves in my team sadly, but I guess there's nothing I can do about it though try my best to take it down to lower health. I really hate Swampert's with a passion. They are such a complete wall. The best way is to toxic stall em, but I don't have any toxic users in my team sadly. I hope my Togekiss does well against him.

I'm completely scared of critical hits. I really hate em. I always get a god forsaken critical, when I boost up my stats. Thankfully, none of that happened. And I guess Togekiss beat the speed tie, which I was surprised. And I guessed that Swampert would eventually use an Ice type attack, but I wasn't sure if I would go first.

Dominating Latias, Smashed Rotom!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Introduction : I was bored and just hanging around the Smogon Server having a few random battles, most of them were pretty bad and I wasn't playing my best but this battle was fairly decent and I enjoyed it.

Pokedra's Team

Rules

Sleep Clause
Freeze Clause
OHKO Clause
Evasion Clause

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

Twinks sent out Rotom-c!
Pokedra sent out Infernape!
Infernape used Stealth Rock. (Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!)
Rotom-c used Thunderbolt.
Infernape lost 100% of its health. (Infernape hung on using its Focus Sash!)
(Infernape - 1%)
(Rotom-C - 100%)

Comments : That was a decent start, I got the rocks up and I know I can outspeed him and do quite some damage with Fire Blast. I'm hoping he's going to stay in and even if he did switch I could probably land a so-so hit and play on from there.
........................................................

Twinks switched in Heatran!
Pointed stones dug into Heatran. (Heatran lost 12% of its health.)
Infernape used Fire Blast. (Heatran's Flash Fire raised its fire power!)

(Infernape - 1%)
(Heatran - 88%)

Comments : Damn that sucks, now I feel like an idiot. Now his Heatran has a powered-up Fire Blast to use. Well I'm going to let Infernape go, he's not going to find many chances to come back in and if he sets up SR Ape will die anyway. Plus I can find out what variant it is.
........................................................

Heatran used Fire Blast. (It's not very effective...)
Infernape lost 0% of its health. (Pokedra's Infernape fainted.)
(Infernape - 0%)
(Heatran - 88%)

Comments : So it's a Scarf variant, well I'm not too concerned. I can switch-in Latias who resists Fire Blast and scare him off while I Draco Meteor whatever comes. I considered that he might stay in because he does have a powered-up Fire Blast to use and he might think I'll Draco Meteor and he resists that but whatever hopefully the prospect of getting smashed by Surf will make him run.

Pokedra - 5 Twinks - 6

Pokedra switched in Latias!
Heatran used Fire Blast. (It's not very effective...)
Latias lost 45% of its health.
Latias used Draco Meteor. (Latias's attack missed!)
(Latias - 65%)
(Heatran - 88%)

Comments : Damn that sucks, not only does he stay in but my Draco Meteor also misses. Despite that fact that it is resisted it could've done around ~50%. I'm not letting Latias stay in to take another Fire Blast but nothing in my team is going to take a boosted Fire Blast well. Mence would easily be 2HKO'ed so I'm going to put my hopes on my Starmie.
........................................................

Pokedra switched in Starmie!
Heatran used Fire Blast. (It's not very effective...)
Starmie lost 53% of its health. (Starmie was burned!)
Starmie was hurt by its burn! (Starmie lost 12% of its health.)
(Starmie - 35%)
(Heatran - 88%)

Comments : More good news comes, he also manages to burn poor Starmie. Well, I'm just going to let Starmie die as well and then switch Latias in and smash him with Surf. Besides Starmie is really low on health and the burn isn't going to help him either.

Heatran used Fire Blast. (Heatran's attack missed!)
Starmie used Light Screen. (A barrier was formed!)
Starmie was hurt by its burn! (Starmie lost 12% of its health.)

Comments : I'm pretty happy I managed to get a screen up and at least Starmie did something but now he's practically dead so I'll let him die and switch Latias in who can take any attack Heatran can throw at her.

Celebi lost 20% of its health.
(Latias - 65%)
(Celebi - 74%)

Comments : This was a crappy mistake by me, I kinda played safe and went for Surf incase he stayed in or switched to something that resisted Draco Meteor. Now I'm in a tricky position, I'm not really sure what variant this Celebi is. I'm going to switch to Lucario and try pull off a sweep.
........................................................

Pokedra switched in Lucario!
Celebi used Recover. (Celebi restored 26% of its health.)
(Lucario - 100%)
(Celebi - 100%)

Comments : Alright, Lucario got a free switch-in basically and I'm pretty sure he's going to switch so I should've used Close Combat but being the nooby, greedy idiot that I am I decided to Swords Dance but in the end, the result would've have been roughly the same.

Lucario used Swords Dance. (Lucario's attack was sharply raised.)

Lucario lost 6% of its health.
Twinks switched in Heatran!
Pointed stones dug into Heatran. (Heatran lost 12% of its health.)
(Lucario - 100%)
(Heatran - 75%)

Comments : So he didn't switch but U-Turned instead so even if I did use CC it would've down barely anything and now it -->finally<-- struck me that I could Trace Flash Fire with Porygon-2 who until now I completely forgot about. Gah, I'm such a noob...

Heatran used Fire Blast. (Porygon2's Flash Fire raised its fire power!)
(Porygon-2 - 100%)
(Heatran - 75%)

Comments : I was still feeling pretty stupid when I switched P2 in, anyways now he has to run since he's not going to be giving me more Fire Blasts to gobble up. So I'm gonna TWave whatever he sends in and play on from there.

Twinks switched in Celebi!

Comments : Celebi is paralyzed and now I'm pretty sure he's gonna switch-out to get rid of it so I'm going to bring in Luke and see what is in store for me.

Pointed stones dug into Rotom-c. (Rotom-c lost 12% of its health.)
Pokedra switched in Lucario! (Lucario's light screen wore off!)
(Lucario - 94%)
(Rotom-C - 88%)

Comments : It's not a bad match-up, Lucario can probably take anything he throws except for Tbolt and I'm pretty sure I'm faster. I was thinking he was going to go to Heatran but then what if he stayed in so I decided just to Crunch. Even if he switched to Tran i could always run to P2.

Lucario used Crunch. (It's super effective!)
Rotom-c lost 88% of its health. (Twinks's Rotom-c fainted.)
Lucario lost 10% of its health.
(Lucario - 84%)
(Rotom-C - 0%)

Comments : He didn't switch after all and I get a clean-KO. I'm pretty sure his ScarfTran is going to make another appearance and now it was decision time. He knows I have P2 so he's not going to use Fire Blast so I was pretty sure he was going to Earth Power which Mence/Latias could get a free switch-in on but then I considered Explosion, he might want to blow up on P2 since it is pretty bulky and might be a hindrance to his other team members. I was thinking of letting Luke stay in and take the Explosion since he resists it but Luke is no where near bulky and I was afraid it would take more then 50% off him so I decided on P2.

It sorta pays off as he brings Rhyperior which shouldn't be a problem.

[Ubers Warstory]The Greedy Bagworm

This warstory received a generally positive reception on smogon, so I decided to post it here.

This is my first warstory, and I never dreamed it would be an Ubers one. I consider myself a standard player, but Ubers is a real blast to play, and I'm becoming a fan. Yet it's a sad commentary on the state of Ubers that I played the same guy five times today.

This is the best and final match of our informal series against each other. My opponent won the first match, I won the next two, and he won the fourth game. Read on to see who wins this one in a thrilling tale of greed, hate, and poisoning.

My opponent has given me permission to put his name on here. It is PokemonMasterHSA. We will likely be making a joint warstory next time, as we dueled again earlier today.

The teams:
PokemonMasterHSA, 17th on Ubers Ladder
*image removed* *image removed* *image removed* *image removed* *image removed* *image removed*
My opponent's team favors raw damage output, which is evidenced by his use of Deoxys-A as a lead, Choice Specs Kyogre, and its rain-loving buddy Palkia, along with the de-emphasis on Stealth Rock, which is relegated to a support Dialga. There is no Rayquaza or Darkrai, which may make my job a little easier, yet Deo-A and Wobbuffet, combined with Specs Kyogre, make things difficult. The Garchomp is scarfed.

mtr12, 50th on Ubers Ladder
*image removed* *image removed* *image removed* *image removed* *image removed* *image removed*

My team is a fairly standard ForryBliss ubers stall team, although it has a unique scarfed Dialga. Unfortunately, it is a bit more weak to Darkrai than most stall teams, but that can be dealt with by the aforementioned scarfer, and the team makes up for it by having prophylaxis against Rayquaza in the form of Groudon, Latias (who outspeeds it), and Dialga. Forretress is the center of the team with its entry hazards, and Blissey is the defensive front against the awesome elemental power wielded by the ubers. The rest are just there for support.

Leftovers recovery will be omitted for convenience. For me, everyone has leftovers except Latias and Dialga. For my opponent, only Wobbuffet has leftovers. Poison and weather will not be omitted, as they play a substantial role.

Rules: Shoddy Battle, Ladder Match, Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Evasion Clause, Species Clause, Strict Damage Clause

1)Opponent sent out Deoxys-f (lvl 100 Deoxys-f).
mtr12 sent out Groudon (lvl 100 Groudon).
Deoxys-f is exerting its pressure!
Groudon's Drought intensified the sun's rays!

Latias lost 35% of its health.
The sun continues to shine.

@100%

@65%
A Deoxys-A lead…this is a highly fickle and unpredictable lead, and as such it isn't fun for stall. However I have a scarfed revenge killer, so as long as I can break the sash, I'm good. My opponent is a conservative predictor, and I know he doesn't have Shadow Ball (after I lost Forry to an HP Fire in the first game), so Latias can handle anything my opponent throws at me.

My Groudon lead is a support lead, but that doesn't matter, as Deoxys-A wins anyways. I may not get up Stealth Rock this game, which is a huge blow to my stalling efforts. Regardless, Latias takes the Ice Beam effectively and prepares to Recover-stall out the opponent until it can attack.

3)Deoxys-f used Ice Beam.
It's super effective!
Latias lost 40% of its health.
Latias used Recover.
Latias restored 50% of its health.
The sun continues to shine.

@100%

@75%
Latias takes another Ice Beam, and recovers off the damage. I'm hoping for no crit or freeze hax next time, as if that occurs, I will have to use Dialga, who will live a Superpower and triumph (a scarf lets it outspeed Deo-A), but in the process be heavily damaged and Latias dead. I can't use Calm Mind because of his Garchomp, who outspeeds me.

4)Deoxys-f used Ice Beam.
It's super effective!
Latias lost 37% of its health.
Latias used Dragon Pulse.
Deoxys-f lost 100% of its health.
Deoxys-f hung on using its Focus Sash!
The sun continues to shine.

@38%
And since I really don't want to risk the hax, I attack. A Tackle could have done what I needed it to do, but Dragon Pulse works fine as well. Latias cannot live another Ice Beam, so I switch to Dialga in the hopes of getting it in on anything but a Superpower...

5)mtr12 switched in Dialga (lvl 100 Dialga).
Dialga is exerting its pressure!
Deoxys-f used Superpower.
It's super effective!
Dialga lost 73% of its health.

Yet my opponent sees my switch and blasts me. This isn't going very well, but at least Dialga can end this menace with a Dragon Pulse. I'm up 6-5.

Opponent's Deoxys-f fainted.

mtr12's Dialga fainted.

Well, Wobbuffet would beat me anyways, so maybe the Superpower didn't matter that much. Score is 5-5.

8)mtr12 switched in Forretress (lvl 100 Forretress).
Opponent switched in Kyogre (lvl 100 Kyogre).
Kyogre's Drizzle caused a storm!
The sun faded.
Rain began to fall!
Forretress used Toxic Spikes.
Toxic Spikes were scattered around the foe's team!
The rain continues to fall.
---

@100%

@100%
Forretress laughs at Wobbuffet, and Encore is only a minor annoyance. I take the opportunity to set up a layer of Toxic Spikes. In standard play, Toxic Spikes would be almost completely inferior option to Spikes, but in Ubers, quite the opposite is true. My opponent knows that, and gets in Kyogre before I can do more mischief with entry hazards.

9)mtr12 switched in Latias (lvl 100 Latias).
Kyogre used Water Spout.
It's not very effective...
Latias lost 37% of its health.
mtr12's Latias fainted.
The rain continues to fall.

@100%

@fainted
Specs Kyogre is a horrible thing to face when your Latias is weakened. But at least Latias was around to take the incoming Water Spout so Blissey can survive it. This is why it is a good thing that no hax occurred on Latias when it was facing Deo-A: if it had been killed, I would have had to lose something else against Blissey, which may have cost me the game. I'm down 4-5.

10)mtr12 switched in Blissey (lvl 100 Blissey).
Kyogre used Water Spout.
Blissey lost 64% of its health.
Blissey used Seismic Toss.
Kyogre lost 29% of its health.
The rain continues to fall.

@71%

@42%
Our favorite pink blob comes in to avenge its fallen comrades and make a bulwark against the monstrous leviathan that threatens to blast through my team. Blissey fires off a Seismic Toss to lower the power of the next Water Spout.

11)Blissey used Protect.
Blissey protected itself!
Kyogre used Water Spout.
Blissey protected itself!

One turn of Protect gives me enough health to survive a weakened Water Spout, and Wish away the damage, and that is what I do the next turn. If I had been greedy and used Wish, I wouldn't have lived.

12)Kyogre used Water Spout.
Blissey lost 46% of its health.
Blissey used Wish.
Blissey made a wish!
The rain continues to fall.

@71%

@8%
And I use Wish in order to get back health and PP Stall the opponent. A PP Stall isn't one of the more romantic aspects of stalling (unlike, say, using Toxic), but when you need to stall out the opponent, you do what you have to do. Plus, it's joyfully sadistic fun!

13)Opponent switched in Palkia (lvl 100 Palkia).
Palkia is exerting its pressure!
Palkia was poisoned!
Palkia was poisoned by the Toxic Spikes!
Blissey used Protect.
Blissey protected itself!
The wish came true!
Blissey restored 50% of its health.
The rain continues to fall.
Palkia is hurt by poison!
Palkia lost 12% of its health.
---

@88%

@64%
Protect is the safe choice, and Blissey has recovered off much of the damage. I know this Palkia to be mixed, but even when I didn't know that, I wouldn't take any chances. Palkia doesn't have too much in the way of raw power that I can't handle, so I can switch stall it out and wait for Toxic Spikes to do their thing.

14)mtr12 switched in Groudon (lvl 100 Groudon).
Groudon's Drought intensified the sun's rays!
The rain stopped.
The sun began to shine!
Palkia used Aqua Tail.
It's super effective!
Groudon lost 21% of its health.

But first, I go to Groudon to bring in the sunlight, which is one of the 3 pillars of Ubers stall,the others being Forretress and Blissey :). Actually, I made that up, though it's true. Anyways, he takes the Aqua Tail well, but instead of using Stealth Rock, I get greedy, and…

15)mtr12 switched in Forretress (lvl 100 Forretress).
Palkia used Spacial Rend.
It's not very effective...
Forretress lost 38% of its health.
The sun continues to shine.
Palkia is hurt by poison!
Palkia lost 12% of its health.

Urgh, my Forretress is specially defensive, and I'm used to Spacial Rend doing less than that when it's from a scarfer. A careless mistake, and one brought out of greed. Anyways, now that I'm in, I might as well do what I came to do.

16)Palkia used Surf.
Forretress lost 38% of its health.
Forretress used Toxic Spikes.
Toxic Spikes were scattered around the foe's team!
The sun continues to shine.
Palkia is hurt by poison!
Palkia lost 12% of its health.

@50%

@36%
I can only hope that I can Wish off the damage later. Either way, I now have my full contingent of Toxic Spikes, which should prove quite helpful, right? Yet my stall team is weakened, and likely won't survive too much more torture.

17)mtr12 switched in Blissey (lvl 100 Blissey).
Palkia used Surf.
Blissey lost 10% of its health.
The sun continues to shine.
Palkia is hurt by poison!
Palkia lost 12% of its health.
---

@37.5%

@60%
Blissey laughs at the incoming Surf. Aqua Tail could be a problem for my weakened Blissey, however, so I use Protect to scout out the opponent's move and gain back another 6.25% of my health.

18)Opponent switched in Kyogre (lvl 100 Kyogre).
Kyogre's Drizzle caused a storm!
The sun faded.
Rain began to fall!
Kyogre was badly poisoned!
Kyogre was badly poisoned by the Toxic Spikes!

What a wasted Protect. Kyogre is easy enough to stall out, so I have an advantage. Yet I cannot go to Forretress and set up more layers unless I have a Wish, so I try to use Wish to first get back my Blissey to full health before healing my bagworm.

19)Kyogre used Ice Beam.

I wonder what he was predicting there. Groudon? Giratina? Maybe hoping for freezehax? Well, Blissey will become fully healthy next turn. In the meantime, Toxic Spikes is draining Kyogre of its health.

Misprediction on my part. I was expecting a scarfer or a mixed attacker, not a support set. I'm afraid of Brick Break or Aura Sphere, and I thought that Giratina could take the hit with its Fighting immunity.

It's super effective!
Giratina lost 60% of its health.
Giratina is paralysed! It can't move!

It's harsh to let the spirit dragon suffer like this, but there's a method to my madness. Groudon disdains taking such special blows, especially when it has been slightly weakened already. And I may need Groudon later.

Hax Never Strikes Just Once (OU Warstory)

Hello All! It's been a while since I've been here, but I was on Shoddy and an incredibly haxy battle that I thought you might be interested in.

NOTE: This IS a battle WITH hax. If you don't like HAX DON'T read it.

lemon42's moves will look like this.
rednano12's moves will look like this.
other text will look like this.
Leftovers will be removed.
Scores will be shown after each KO.

MY TEAM (order of appearance):

The power of Scizor is shown. I Bullet Punch, predicting a Fake Out, but he sends in everybody's favorite electric appliance. This Scizor is choiced, but he forms a core of my team, and I don't want him taking damage yet. I send out my early-game sweeper.

rednano12 switched in MUDKIPZ (lvl 100 Swampert ♀).
Rotom-w used Thunder Wave.
It doesn't affect MUDKIPZ...

Maybe I'm better at predicting than I thought. I saved a crucial member of my team and essentially got a free switch-in!
