I have two recent battles that I would like to first talk about and then my question shall follow.
I play a lot of free battles and challenge passer by's and i had recently decided to build a new team [Ninjask, Heracross, Hydreigon, Talonflame, Golurk, Mega Lucario] and to test it out I choose a passer by. I can only assume that they were of the younger generation what I would call a "I want to win so I will get the strongest Pokémon and if I don't beat you my daddy will" trainer [Mega Mewtwo X, Xerneas, Yvelta, Zapdos, Darkrai, Groudon].
I have no idea why he didn't lead with the obvious Darkrai, but maybe he looked at my squad and thought he could sweep with Mewtwo, but i did go with the obvious Ninjask. I always lead with sword dance regardless and just hope for the best. Well the best happened, he used protect. So I then went with protect and then swords dance - and the most fantastic thing happened he protected again. I decided I would use this move into protect to my advantage.
He attacked my protect, I then proceeded to sword dance as he then protected so I finally used my substitute, but he went for a back-to-back protect allowing me to batton pass out (with the substitute still in place) to my Moxie Heracross. With the Substitute taking the hit I went with Extreme speed taking the +attack. and from there Alternating between Extreme speed and Close combat - I proudly swept until he disconnected. I shall take that as a sweep.
The second story is me showing the fact I'm still learning. A team built round Charizard X [Metagoss, Gerninja, Talonflame, Garchomp, Heracross] I was challenged by a passer by, who led with his Kangaskhan as I led with my Gerninja.
He took to the mega stone where I took to U-turn bringing in Charizard .... Now I already can see you asking why didn't you use a water move ... Well I thought exactly the same when the U-turn finally came off. And I have no idea how he knew but he used Surf.
And from there, he must have had EV in Def and Sp. Def because even though I out paced him I could never take him out. He used a combination of Surf, Mega Punch, Power Up Punch and Thunderbolt to clean me out .... A complete sweep. :(
So (hoping to stayed round to finally get to the question), Do you have any proud sweeping moment or embarrassing sweeping moments?
Also, who is your go to sweeper? I do like a Heracross if you can pull it off, or a Dragonite.
