Hey Smogon! I'm relatively new to competitive battling (unless you count Stadium against the cpu, lol), and have been using Shoddy for a few months now. I generally like to use more "creative" pokes and sets, eschewing most OU's and standard sets, but for this match I was using a new team I made last night which actually uses a few standards. I figure a good (or at least I hope so) warstory makes for a nice introduction to the community (and hey, everyone else is doing it). Anyway, let's get on with the battle. My opponent disconnected immediately after the battle, so I'll just refer to him as "Opponent."
urza220's squad (in order of appearance):

Opponent sent out Bronzong (lvl 100 Bronzong).
urza220 sent out Om Nom Nom (lvl 100 Garchomp ?).
vs.
After seeing lead Bronzong's in nearly every match when I started, I haven't encountered one in quite a while. I'm using a physical wall Garchop with Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Stealth Rock, and Roar, so I can't actually do any real damage to his Zong. While I have MixApe, I don't want to switch it into a Hypnosis, and I'm not particuarly worried about anything it can do to my Chomp, so I decide to play it safe and lay out SR.
Garchomp used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around your foe's team!
Bronzong used Reflect.
A barrier was formed!
I don't remember seeing many Zong's use screens, but I guess it's not exactly unusual. Reflect doesn't really bother me as I only have two physical attackers (Chomp and Ape). I figure now he'll lay out rocks of his own, as he probably knows Chomp can't do anything to him. I have a spinner (Claydol), but he can't do anything to Zong either, so he'd just have to switch back out after spinning, letting Zong put up rocks again. I take this opportunity to Roar him out and scout out some of his team.
Bronzong used Stealth Rock.
Garchomp used Roar.
Opponent switched in Lucario (lvl 100 Lucario ?).
vs.
Pointed stones dug into Lucario.
Lucario lost 3% of its health.
Garchomp: 100%
Lucario: 97%
This is fine for me, as I know he can't take out Chomp with anything short of a specs'ed HP Ice, so I decide not to overpredict and just go with EQ, hoping maybe he'll overpredict and stay in or something.
Opponent switched in Bronzong (lvl 100 Bronzong).
vs.
Pointed stones dug into Bronzong.
Bronzong lost 6% of its health.
Bronzong makes ground moves miss with Levitate!
Garchomp used Earthquake.
Garchomp's attack missed!
Garchomp: 100%
Bronzong: 100%
Oh, well, back to where we started. I should have figured this, seeing as most Zong's run Levitate, plus he can probably guess that my last move isn't Fire Something, otherwise I would have used it already. As I'm still pretty sure he can't do anything to me, and I really don't mind if Garchomp gets put to sleep, I decide to just do a little more scouting.
Bronzong used Gyro Ball.
Garchomp lost 26% of its health.
Garchomp used Roar.
Opponent switched in Deoxys-e (lvl 100 Deoxys-e).
vs.
Deoxys-e is exerting its pressure!
Pointed stones dug into Deoxys-e.
Deoxys-e lost 12% of its health.
Garchomp: 80%
Deoxys: 87%
Damn, I hate that thing. Deoxys has been the cleanup to many a beaten team of mine. As he's only seen Chomp at this point, I know he'll play it safe and use Ice Beam, and I don't feel like letting her die to that stupid space virus. I don't have much that can take him on, but Milotic is my best bet, as I can at the very least stall out the Life Orb with Recover.
urza220 switched in Milotic (lvl 100 Milotic ?).
vs.
Pointed stones dug into Milotic.
Milotic lost 12% of its health.
Deoxys-e used Ice Beam.
It's not very effective...
Milotic lost 9% of its health.
Milotic: 85%
Deoxys: 87%
Milotic takes the Ice Beam like a champ, and I notice the lack of Life Orb recoil on Deoxys. I figure he's sashed, but it was rendered useless thanks to SR. I'm pretty relieved that this particular Deoxys won't be raping my team quite as hard as usual. Knowing that he doesn't have Life Orb, though, means I can't stall him out with Recover, so I decide to just start wearing it down with Surf.
Opponent switched in Suicune (lvl 100 Suicune).
vs.
Suicune is exerting its pressure!
Pointed stones dug into Suicune.
Suicune lost 12% of its health.
Milotic used Surf.
It's not very effective...
Suicune lost 16% of its health.
Suicune's reflect wore off!
Milotic: 91%
Suicune: 72%
My opponent plays it safe again and switches in Suicune. The lack of Leftovers and relatively high damage from my Surf make me think this is some sort of sweeper Cune, which I have been seeing more of lately. They usually carry HP Electric, but I'm confident Milotic can take it, so I stay in to use Hypnosis . . .
Suicune used Calm Mind.
Suicune's special attack was raised.
Suicune's special defence was raised.
Milotic used Hypnosis.
Milotic's attack missed!
Milotic: 97%
Suicune: 72%
. . . which of course misses. 70% accuracy my ass. This reminds be of when I used to play Stadium and had Thunder on Jolteon as I didn't have another TM for Thunder Bolt yet, and if that really had 70% accuracy, then Bidoof is the King of France. Okay, enough ranting. Back on track, his Cune uses Calm Mind, which isn't a huge deal, as I'm still not afraid of a potential HP Electric. I keep Milotic in to try once again to put Cune to sleep.
Suicune used Hidden Power.
It's super effective!
Milotic lost 51% of its health.
Suicune lost 10% of its health.
Milotic used Hypnosis.
Suicune fell asleep!
Milotic: 52%
Suicune: 62% Sleep
Now I see Life Orb on Cune, and Milotic takes a pretty big hit from HP Electric. At this point, I want to make sure that Milotic is healthy enough to switch in later, so I go with Recover.
Opponent switched in Bronzong (lvl 100 Bronzong).
vs.
Pointed stones dug into Bronzong.
Bronzong lost 6% of its health.
Milotic used Recover.
Milotic restored 48% of its health.
Milotic: 100%
Bronzong: 94%
Milotic can't do much to Zong, but I once again don't want to switch Ape into a potential Hypnosis, so I just decide to keep Milotic in and wear down Zong.
Milotic used Surf.
Bronzong lost 29% of its health.
Bronzong used Reflect.
A barrier was formed!
Milotic: 100%
Bronzong: 65%
Even without Leftovers on Zong, Surf still looks like a 4HKO. Might as well just get as much damage on Zong as possible.
Milotic used Surf.
Bronzong lost 31% of its health.
Bronzong used Explosion.
Milotic lost 100% of its health.
urza220's Milotic fainted.
(5-6)
Opponent's Bronzong fainted.
(5-5)
Well, it turns out we were both willing to sacrifice our walls at this point, and an Explosion just sped up the process. Milotic could have still been useful, but with Cune asleep, her work wasn't in vain.

Claydol used Toxic.
Garchomp was badly poisoned!
Garchomp is hurt by poison!
Garchomp lost 6% of its health.
Claydol: 100%
Garchomop: 87% Toxic
I bring in Claydol to Rapid Spin, but for some strange reason I click Toxic. This turns out to be a key mistake, but I suppose it just adds more drama to the story. Le sigh, might as well just put Garchomp within range for a revenge kill.
Garchomp used Outrage.
Garchomp went on a rampage!
Claydol lost 94% of its health.
Claydol used Ice Beam.
It's super effective!
Garchomp lost 45% of its health.
The Yache Berry weakened Ice Beam's power!
Garchomp is hurt by poison!
Garchomp lost 12% of its health.
Claydol: 12%
Garchomop: 30% Toxic
Claydol redeems itself here by surviving a boosted Outrage from the possibly soon to be Uber. The Toxic damage turns out to be completely pointless, and if I had used Ice Beam the turn before, I could have taken Chomp out. But it doesn't really matter as his Outrage continues and he's forced to stay in for my revenge kill.
Garchomp used Outrage.
Claydol lost 12% of its health.

A critical hit!
Alakazam lost 78% of its health.
urza220's Alakazam fainted.
(3-4)
Metagross: 94%
What a facepalm moment. I didn't want to stay in to Focus Blast Metagross as it wouldn't OHKO, and I knew that a Meteor Mash could knock Zam into 5th gen. However, I totally forgot about Pursuit, as I rarely see Gross carrying it. The crit wasn't necessary, but it just added a little insult to my misplay.
urza220 switched in Om Nom Nom (lvl 100 Garchomp ?).
vs.
Pointed stones dug into Garchomp.
Garchomp lost 6% of its health.
Garchomp used Earthquake.

Metagross used Meteor Mash.
Garchomp lost 36% of its health.
Metagross's attack was raised.
Garchomp: 44%
Metagross: 17%
Chomp fails to KO Gross as it's a wall and doesn't pack any attack EV's. Gross does pretty sad damage with the mash, however, so I know I can finish it off . . .
Metagross used Bullet Punch.
A critical hit!
Garchomp lost 44% of its health.
urza220's Om Nom Nom fainted.
(2-4)
Metagross: 17%
. . . barring a CH Bullet Punch. It took me awhile to figure out how, even with a crit, Bullet Punch did more than mash figuring average damage, but then I finally realized he got an attack raise from the mash. Even with the attack raise, however, the crit mattered, as Chomp would have survived and KO'ed, so I was pretty upset by it.
urza220 switched in Infernape (lvl 100 Infernape ?).

Pointed stones dug into Infernape.
Infernape lost 12% of its health.

Infernape lost 10% of its health.
Infernape: 47%
Smogon standard MixApe with HP Ice. I normally try to not use standards, especially those with sets right off of Smogon, as I find them easy to predict. However, I have been fighting a lot of stall teams recently, and they always give me a hard time, so I figure why not use one of the best wall breakers there is.

urza220's Infernape fainted.

Infernape hangs on with 1% and gets the KO with Flamethrower. LO recoil takes him out, but if Extremespeed had KO'ed Ape, that would have been gg right there.

Deoxys-e lost 75% of its health.
Opponent's Deoxys-e fainted.
(1-1)
Glaceon: 1%
My opponent thought a long time about this move, though I'm not sure why, as Superpower was easily the best choice unless he was carrying the rare (as far as I've seen) Psycho Boost. I can only guess that he was running a damage calc to see which would have the better chance of a KO. This is actually a Scarf Glaceon meant to switch into and OHKO Yache Chomp, though I'm glad I saved it for the end instead (I didn't switch it in earlier as SR was on the field and I was afraid of Outrage, but that was probably just overcautious playing on my part). Now I just have to hope that Shadow Ball KO's Cune before it wakes up . . .
Opponent switched in Suicune (lvl 100 Suicune).

urza220 wins!
Opponent has left the room.
And Glaceon pulls it out! I was literally on the edge of my seat for the conclusion. I guess my opponent wasn't quite as excited about the finish as he immediately disconnected without as much as a gg. On to the seemingly obligatory props and slops section.
PROPS
-Glaceon and Infernape for surviving with 1% to get the crucial KO's
-My Garchomp for doing something other than sweeping an entire team :)
-Anyone who read through this entire warstory
SLOPS
-My opponent's Metagross for bitch-slapping Alakazam in the face and then finishing off my Garchomp
-Me for not just switching in Glaceon to KO Garchomp when I had the chance
-Some game-changing hax, but I think it made the end more intense
So that's it. Let me know what you think, and I appreciate any and all comments and criticism.

Pointed stones dug into Lucario.
Lucario lost 3% of its health.
Lucario used Extremespeed.
Infernape lost 46% of its health.
Lucario lost 10% of its health.
Infernape used Flamethrower.
It's super effective!
Lucario lost 84% of its health.
Opponent's Lucario fainted.
(2-2)
Infernape lost 7% of its health.
urza220's Infernape fainted.
(1-2)
Infernape hangs on with 1% and gets the KO with Flamethrower. LO recoil takes him out, but if Extremespeed had KO'ed Ape, that would have been gg right there.
Opponent switched in Deoxys-e (lvl 100 Deoxys-e).
urza220 switched in Glacia (lvl 100 Glaceon ?).
Deoxys-e is exerting its pressure!
Pointed stones dug into Deoxys-e.
Deoxys-e lost 12% of its health.
Pointed stones dug into Glaceon.
Glaceon lost 25% of its health.
Deoxys-e used Superpower.
It's super effective!
Glaceon lost 74% of its health.
Deoxys-e's attack was lowered.
Deoxys-e's defence was lowered.
Glaceon used Shadow Ball.
It's super effective!
Deoxys-e lost 75% of its health.
Opponent's Deoxys-e fainted.
(1-1)
Glaceon: 1%
My opponent thought a long time about this move, though I'm not sure why, as Superpower was easily the best choice unless he was carrying the rare (as far as I've seen) Psycho Boost. I can only guess that he was running a damage calc to see which would have the better chance of a KO. This is actually a Scarf Glaceon meant to switch into and OHKO Yache Chomp, though I'm glad I saved it for the end instead (I didn't switch it in earlier as SR was on the field and I was afraid of Outrage, but that was probably just overcautious playing on my part). Now I just have to hope that Shadow Ball KO's Cune before it wakes up . . .
Opponent switched in Suicune (lvl 100 Suicune).
Suicune is exerting its pressure!
Pointed stones dug into Suicune.
Suicune lost 12% of its health.
Glaceon used Shadow Ball.
Suicune lost 25% of its health.
Suicune is fast asleep!
Glaceon: 1%
Suicune: 25% Sleep
Please, RNG, be kind to me . . .
Glaceon used Shadow Ball.
Suicune lost 25% of its health.
Opponent's Suicune fainted.
(1-0)
urza220 wins!
Opponent has left the room.
And Glaceon pulls it out! I was literally on the edge of my seat for the conclusion. I guess my opponent wasn't quite as excited about the finish as he immediately disconnected without as much as a gg. On to the seemingly obligatory props and slops section.
PROPS
-Glaceon and Infernape for surviving with 1% to get the crucial KO's
-My Garchomp for doing something other than sweeping an entire team :)
-Anyone who read through this entire warstory
SLOPS
-My opponent's Metagross for bitch-slapping Alakazam in the face and then finishing off my Garchomp
-Me for not just switching in Glaceon to KO Garchomp when I had the chance
-Some game-changing hax, but I think it made the end more intense
So that's it. Let me know what you think, and I appreciate any and all comments and criticism.
