    Introduction:

    Forgive the boring title, but I really couldn't think of much else to put in there. This battle is the latest battle that myself and Itachi_2008 have had, many of these games had previously resulted in me loosing. The team I am using I am still testing because it still seems to be coming out almost equal on wins and losses, so I am still unsure whether to change it.


    Rules:
    • Evasion Clause
    • Freeze Clause
    • OHKO Clause
    • Sleep Clause
    • Timed Battle

    My Team Line-up:

    Over to the Log Itself:

    Ambient sent out Gengar (lvl 100 Gengar ?).
    Michael sent out Deoxys-e (lvl 100 Deoxys-e).
    Deoxys-e is exerting its pressure!
    Ambient switched in Metagross (lvl 100 Metagross).
    Michael switched in Tyranitar (lvl 100 Tyranitar ?).
    Tyranitar's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!
    A sandstorm brewed!
    The sandstorm rages.
    ---
    I knew that Deoxys-e nearly always carry psychic to kill Gengar, so I had to switch. I decided to switch to metagross to kill it with Pursuit, now lets see what happens next. I was met with Tyranitar, so I just had to switch.
    ---
    Ambient switched in Vaporeon (lvl 100 Vaporeon ?).
    Michael switched in Heatran (lvl 100 Heatran ?).
    The sandstorm rages.
    Vaporeon is buffetted by the sandstorm!
    Vaporeon's leftovers restored its health a little!
    ---
    Did not expect Heatran switch, never mind. Time to start dealing some damage.
    ---
    Michael switched in Tyranitar (lvl 100 Tyranitar ?).
    Tyranitar's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!
    Vaporeon used Surf.
    It's super effective!
    Tyranitar lost 35% of its health.
    The sandstorm rages.
    Vaporeon is buffetted by the sandstorm!
    Vaporeon's leftovers restored its health a little!
    ---
    I suppose I couldn't really expect Heatran to stay in on a predicted Surf, never mind. I think Tyranitar will use Dragon Dance or something similar, better use roar.
    ---
    Tyranitar used Crunch.
    A critical hit!
    Vaporeon lost 86% of its health.
    Vaporeon's defence was lowered.
    Vaporeon used Roar.
    Michael switched in Deoxys-e (lvl 100 Deoxys-e).
    Deoxys-e is exerting its pressure!
    The sandstorm rages.

    Vaporeon is buffetted by the sandstorm!
    Deoxys-e's leftovers restored its health a little!
    Vaporeon's leftovers restored its health a little!
    ---
    Bit of double hax there, both a Critical Hit and defence drop, now I've done the job of roaring of Tyranitar I'd better switch to Metagross to Pursuit that Deoxys.
    ---
    Michael: teh double hax. lol
    Ambient: Yeah.
    Ambient switched in Metagross (lvl 100 Metagross).
    Deoxys-e used Thunderbolt.
    Metagross lost 24% of its health.
    The sandstorm rages.
    Deoxys-e is buffetted by the sandstorm!
    Deoxys-e's leftovers restored its health a little!
    ---
    Predicted that Thunderbolt, so no real surprise to me.
    ---
    Ambient: Buh Bye
    Michael: Pursuit... ...
    Michael: :/
    Michael: XD
    Ambient: :P
    Metagross used Pursuit.

    Ambient 6, Michael 5
    Knew that was coming, there was nothing Michael could do, as even staying in was a OHKO from a CBed Pursuit.
    ---
    Michael switched in Garchomp (lvl 100 Garchomp ?).
    D_A has entered the room.
    Ambient switched in Salamence (lvl 100 Salamence ?).

    Garchomp used Swords Dance.
    Garchomp's attack was sharply raised.
    The sandstorm rages.
    Salamence is buffetted by the sandstorm!
    ---
    I had to switch out, I didn't want to be locked into Pursuit. I really shouldn't have switched in Salamence, but I was trying to use the threat of a Draco Meteor to force a switch.
    ---
    D_A: Hmmm
    Michael switched in Heatran (lvl 100 Heatran ?).
    Salamence used Brick Break.

    Salamence is buffetted by the sandstorm!
    Salamence lost 6% of its health.
    ---
    I knew a switch to Heatran was coming if the threat of Draco Meteor made him switch, so I decided to use Brick Break
    ---
    Ambient: Owned!
    Michael: D_A will give me advice!
    Michael: XD
    D_A: Why switch ?
    Michael: *bribes*

    Wasn't expecting Leftovers on Heracross, you usually see some kind of choice item, no idea why not. I need to get Stealth Rock set up now anyway.
    ---
    D_A: >_<

    There is absolutely no way I'm making a battle between Gliscor and Gliscor, switch out.

    At least the score is even, I should've used Gengar as a revenge killer before he died, but Gliscor did the job of killing of Tyranitar.

    I find that funny how I miss first with Ice Fang, then he misses with Outrage. Sand Veil is a bit of a mixed blessing

    NOTE: Not formatted/commented in the spoiler.

    After that long stall war, done because I wanted to stall Heracross out of PP for Sleep Talk, I thought I'd end it.

    Final Score:
    Ambient 2, Michael 0

    Review:

    Some bad prediction from me there and a long stall war which shouldn't really have happend.

    What Went Well:
    • Inciting a Switch with Heatran from Garchomp and hitting Heatran with a Predicted Brick Break.
    • Knocking out Garchomp without Sand Veil getting in the way loads

    What didn't go so well:
    • Stall War
    • Prediction wasn't always good
    • Gengar shouldn't have been sacrificed

    Hope you enjoyed my log.
     
    This is why Gliscor needs Aerial Ace >:( Great match, I love Sleep Talk Hera, but Close Combat could've made it's way in there ;P

    It sucks Gengar died early, but stuff happens. Great battle on both your parts.
     
    Snorlax's leftovers restored its health a little!

    I didn't even read this yet. ._. But the text colour was rough, for me. Also, remember to edit out "(lvl 100 Metagross)" and such. I'll have more review in a sec. :D

    I love this colour, it's so bright it burnt my eyes 8D

    Tyranitar is not a smart switchin to Gengar, Hypnosis being prevalent on all Gengar sets as well as him counting on your variant to be Timid ScarfGar which is questionable. Tyranitar also cannot do much to the common Deoxys-E counters Metagross/Jirachi/Bronzong, not when they are at full health and hurt Tyranitar a lot with their moves.

    You noticed that Gross barely OHKOed Deoxys-E with Pursuit after switching out? I don't like the use of Pursuit in the last slot partly because Gross isn't fast enough to use it and it has low base power, not to mention Bullet Punch would be a superior option for Subseeders and stuff.

    tbh Why would Garchomp run from Mence? In this case it obviously has the superior speed, unless Itachi is not running full speed which is silly.

    Vaporeon can't handle Tyranitar, Gliscor would have been a much better switchin able to scare Ttar off with the threat of STAB Earthquake and be able to wall Stone Edges due to higher speed and Roost.

    Garchomp should have just used Earthquake, Gengar is easily handled by RestTalkHera, Earthquake would not give you any free switchins due to Garchomp's superior base speed over Salamence, adding on to the fact that even an Adamant Garchomp would have outspeeded Mixmence due to it not investing in Speed EVs as much as its CB and Specs cousins.

    STAB Earthquake is stronger than Ice Fang, not to mention Gliscor could have just sat there plugging away with Stealth Rock PP stalling Hera out of Megahorn/Stone Edge/Rest/Sleep Talk.

    The only Deoxys-E that should lead is one that Taunts/Sets up Spikes, cause it is severly lacking in offensive power and gets a bad typing to boot.

    Fix the colours please, as BeachBoy has mentioned.
     
    Yes, Green intro color for the win! lol

    Anyway, the bright colors bothered me a bit, but not too much.

    Also, D_A's and Syao's comments in a battle are win. Syao should have been there commenting. :<

    Sand Veil hated me in that match more than it did you. >:(

    Yeah, the stalling was pretty bad, I suppose. :P Resttalk Hera for the win. :>

    As for the advice spectrum, anyone think I should run CC on Resttalk Hera, or anything else?

    Aquilae: I wasn't sure if I was able to outspeed Mence. But yes, it would have because I do have max speed EVs.
     
    Concerning CC on Hera, you have to keep in mind the Defense drops. A RestTalker, I'd imagine (can't say, since I've never used one), would likely stay in for more than a few turns, in which case the Defense drops could really hurt. Had CC been used a few times against Gliscor, that stall war would have ended much sooner.

    Good battle overall, though. The bright colors are impossible to read against the white background, though.
     
    Said 12000 times beforehand, but the extreme text colors are hard to read. Make zem dark like maroon, dark green, dark grey, and navy blue.

    I liked the battle overall; sure, there was some mispredicting and such, and bad mistakes, but no battle is perfect.
