God is Good
Some of you may have seen the battle between Adub_banded and Jiovaine(Starstorm98) either live or via log, but you havent seen it like this. Now you get to see what was going through both of our heads as we battled it out in the finals of the Battling 101 Tournament.
Here are some things I'll tell you about the format of this warstory.
Adub_Banded's team
With all that out of the way, lets start this match!
The game starts with good sportsmanship from both sides. I'm very relieved to see he has a Metagross lead which can be set up on by Rotom. So first things first I need to get Stealth Rock up.
So we say our good lucks and begin the match. I run a lead Metagross without Explosion, so Swampert absolutely walls me. I decide to do the basic thing that helps out all offensive teams; Stealth Rock.
Metagross-100%
Swampert-100%
Stealth Rock on both sides.
Ok so that was expected from both of us. Now that the rocks are up I can switch Rotom in and set up if he stays in. I doubt he will, but still its a good switch.
Ok, no surprises there. Metagross is walled and I like to save him for later in case I need priority with Bullet Punch. I have three switches into the Earthquake in this situation; Latias, Rotom-H, or Breloom. Latias is scared of possible Avalanches, Rotom-H can only hope to burn it and then switch, but Breloom can use the switch to activate its Poison Heal and try to sweep.
Rotom-94%
Breloom-94%-Badly Poisoned
Hmm, a Breloom. If I can set up a Sub on it then that'll put me in a good position. I'm assuming this is a Breloom with Spore, Leech Seed, Substitute, and Focus Punch so I just have to hope I'm faster.
Darn. I use Bulk Up Breloom, which is fairly easily countered by the Rotom-Appliances. I know Shadow Ball won’t KO and unless it’s a rare substitute variety, using Spore is probably a fine choice. I can also guess that it doesn’t have a super effective hidden power because it isn’t scarfed and I don’t have to fear Will-o-wisp. I finally decide to try putting it to sleep.
Rotom- 75% behind a Sub
Breloom-100% Badly poisoned
This is very, very good. I got the substitute up, which puts me in a huge advantage. Now I could go for the WoW since I suspect he'll switch out, but I decide to Shadow Ball just to get some damage.
This is very, very bad. Substitute Rotom-Appliance is a Pokemon that can seriously cause problems for my team. I have to think about my next move hard. This basically means I have to make a sacrifice. I’m going to hope it uses Hidden Power Fire or makes a prediction with WoW and switch in Latias rather than rely on Stone Edge to break his Substitute.
Latias-34%
Rotom-81% Substitute
Ah, a good thing I went for the Shadow Ball now as he tries to break my Sub I can just knock out his Latias which could have been a big threat to my team.
No such luck. It looks like Latias gets to be my sacrifice. Looking back, this is probably a mistake. Latias is a much sturdier sweeper than my Infernape and would have been a more effective sweeper against Jiovaine’s team. Latias has won me games before (Hi cyberzero!), but I need that substitute down.
Rotom-87%
Latias-Fainted
6-5
Good that went exactly as planned. Rotom gets the first kill and I've seen that he has a Metagross and Breloom so I just need to keep him alive.
So I’m down early. I’m trying to stay calm; I’ve had comebacks before. Sword Dance Infernape is the only one on my team who can hope to take this Rotom down at this point, so here it goes.
Infernapre-64%
Latias-57
Oof, that Flare Blitz hurt alot. I think I can take another one so I'll stay in and Dragon Pulse, but... he has two pokemon I haven't seen and they both could be either Scizor or Tyranitar. Hmm what to do?
And he has the best Infernape counter in the game, resisting both STABs, outspeeding, and being able to hit me with a super effective Surf. Great. So far his team is matched up very well versus mine. I have to switch here; I need Ape for Rotom. Metagross is my best answer without revealing more of my team, and resists Dragon Pulse/won’t be hit that hard by Surf.
Metagross-74%
Latias-63%
I guess he doesnt have either Tyranitar or Scizor; this is good I guess, but Latias can't do much to Metagross at near full health, but I know someone who can.
So no Surf. He either predicted me switching to Breloom, is using HP Fire, or he isn’t using a set with two attacks. Anyway, now I have to Meteor Mash. It will hurt Latias badly if it decides to stay in or hopefully hit Rotom for some decent damage.
Ugh, 24%. Almost enough to break a substitute. I can’t let him get another Sub up, so I pray that Meteor Mash hit for minimum damage and I can break a sub if tries to put another one up, assuming it hits.
Rotom-51%
Metagross-74%
---
Rotom-38%
Metagross-74%
Bleh thats annoying I get a sub and he break it with a critical hit, and he gets the attack boost. How lucky was that =/. Lets try this again!
The hax Gods smile at me and I get a crit, breaking his substitute, minimum damage or not, and an attack boost! At this point he’s at a low enough damage that I can Bullet Punch to prevent another substitute.
Rotom-29%
Metagross-74%
Argh lets just burn that thing!
No hax this time, but I’m making the same move for the same reasons. This thing is almost dead, if I can take it out that’d be great.
Rotom-20%
Metagross- 62% Burn
Ok, Will-o-wisp. I don’t think this should matter that much; a +1 Metagross, even burned, should hopefully be able to take him out with Meteor Mash. Anyway, I’m at high health; Meta should be able to get the KO within the next 2 turns.
Rotom-7%
Metagross-Fainted
6-4
Somehow I survived that Meteor Mash with 1%, but still the damage has been done on both sides. He lost two pokemon and Rotom is pretty much on the verge of fainting.
And the hax Gods turn around and bitch-slap me in the face. Rotom crits me, survives with 1%, and puts me in KO range for burn damage. This doesn’t seem like such a big deal, but my only viable switches are Jirachi and Infernape. Jirachi is scarfed and I haven’t seen a lot of his team, so if I got in and Iron Head, a Magnezone could come in and trap or set up on me. If I went with Fire Punch Latias comes in and Calm Minds. Thunder Punch lets either happens. Ice Punch lets Zone come in. Swampert walls the whole set. So I decide to got to Ape. This means taking Stealth Rock, Life Orb, and Flare Blitz Recoil damage= about 24%. Not perfect, but my best option. Latias might come in after, but I have a plan.
Bye bye Rotom you did great in this battle its sad that you have to go now.
Rotom-Fainted
Infernape-40%
5-4
Ok, just as planned. Now I’ve decided to go for a BU Breloom sweep. The trick is going to be getting it in and set up. I expect a Latias switch in here.
Perfect. Now to switch to Jirachi to take the Dragon Pulse and scare it out.
Latias-100%
Jirachi-94%
Ugh Jirachi if this is a CM I'm in huge trouble. I've got to get Swampert in there and see what kind of Jirachi that is.
Recover means he can come in on Ape again, but hopefully it won’t matter. Now to go to stage 2 of my plan. I’m going to attempt the infamous double switch. Here we go…
Yes! Right now he doesn’t know I’m running Bulk Up, so he’s probably expecting the classic SubPunch. Hopefully he runs to Latias to take a Seed Bomb and I get the Spore on it.
Breloom-100% Badly Poisoned
Swampert-100% Asleep
I'd rather have Swampert asleep then anyone else on my team. Now that Swampert is asleep time to bring in Scizor.
Darn. There goes my plan. I take a moment to think here. From his team right now I’m guessing he switches in Latias, assuming he thinks I’m running SubPunch. I need the Psychic-Dragon gone if I want Loom to sweep. So…….. It’s time for another double switch!
Scizor-88%
Jirachi-88%
Here comes that Jirachi again. I still think that's the CM Sub set since its the most powerful so I'll U-turn out and send in Magnezone.
That’s a surprise, but a good switch for me. Breloom can be hit hard by Choice Band Scizor until it gets a few Bulk Ups in. Hopefully he goes for the U-turn so I can OHKO with Fire Punch.
Scizor-Fainted
Jirachi-88%
4-4
...oh crap! I did not that coming at all. At least its not the CM set, but the FirePunch and the fact that Jirachi can outspeed me without a Scarf doesnt help when I'm trying to figure out what set he's running. Although the lack of leftovers does help a little.
Victory! Hopefully Latias is the only thing that can set up on fire moves on his team, I can handle it ok.
Oh dear. Of course he has both Kingdra and Sub-Rotom, my team’s 2 major weaknesses. I have to make another sacrifice here and Rotom might actually be able to handle it if it’s physically bulky and not offensive, so that’s my best bet.
Kingdra-88% +1 Attack +1 Speed
Rotom-H-94%
The sight of an opposing Rotom always gives me a bad feeling. Lets just smack this thing down before he does anything funny.
Darn, a 2HKO. At least I got some damage on him.
Rotom-H-Fainted
Kingdra-44%
4-3
Alright hopefully I can go for a sweep with Kingdra. He only has three pokemon left. This is just what I need. I just hope Kingdra doesn't get screwed over by hax and she can't sweep for me like in my last match (hope you're watching Hybrid)
Farewell Rotom, you were a good sacrifice. Now to go to Jirachi for revenge. Thunder and Ice Punches won’t KO with its remaining health, so I have to go for Flinch-Hax.
Well, at least he didn’t DD again and Waterfall didn’t KO. Hopefully it flinches this time.
Kingdra-24%
Jirachi-31%
Kingdra-4%
Jirachi-31%
>.> Figures
Success! It dies next turn.
Kingdra-Fainted
Jirachi-31%
3-3
Ok that was pretty lame, although I guess I should have had that coming.
You’ve got to love Jirachi, as long as you’re not on the receiving end =/
…Crap…
Magnezone-85%
Jirachi-35%
As mentioned it's checkmate. Now that I know his Jirachi is scarfed and locked in Iron Head, Magnezone can easily come in after being kept secret from the battle. Looks like I can win this.
Sweet, a 10HKO! *sarcasm* All I need is 9 flinches in a row, about a 4% chance...
Magnezone-76%
Jirachi-31%
If I get flinched to death I'm going to forfiet I swear >.>
---
Magnezone-67%
Jirachi-Faitned
3-2
Bah, that was annoying, but at least its gone. Btw I chose to use Thunderbolt instead of HpFire for this reason. I know he has a Infernape still in battle if I used HP Fire it could easily come in which could put Latias or Swampert in danger because FlareBlitz and CloseCombat can hurt them both pretty badly. So I want to keep Infernape out of the ring until its perfectly safe. Also I still suspect his Breloom is the standard set and Swampert is asleep so Latias can come in easily and knock him out as well as Infernape.
No such luck. I’m fairly sure I lose at this point. Oh well, go Breloom! I Stone Edge, knowing Latias will come in.
.
Breloom-100% Badly poisoned
Latias-53%
What!? Stone Edge?! What sorcery is this!? That did alot to Latias so now I'm in trouble. I don't what to do now, because Stone Edge might eventually knock me out. Which leaves Magnezone extremely vulnerable because whatever move I use on Breloom wont affect Inferape that much and vice vera. Not to mention Swampert is still asleep. This is bad!
Well, that did not do nearly as much damage as I had hoped. I need a critical hit, or a higher damage roll if I want any chance of winning.
Latias-60%
Breloom-100% Badly Poisoned
Yes, but for who? At this moment I think I'm screwed, I mean I honestly have no idea what to do now? If I keep recovering he'll eventually get a critical hit. So its time to go on the offensive.
Is he seriously trying to PP stall me? Oh well, this just gives me a higher chance at a crit… or a miss…
Ok, now he’s within range of a 1-2HKO with Mach Punch and I should still have a turn alive after this.
Latias-21%
Breloom-57% Badly Poisoned
Latias-14%
Breloom-Fainted
3-1
PISS! Unless he’s running very few speed EVs and Magnezone is very slow, I lose.
Latias-14%
Infernape-Fainted
3-0
And thats the game. So thats how the finals of the tourney ended. I hope you enjoyed this warstory. GG to Adub-Banded.
GG Jiovaine, very well played and a very nice team. Looking back, I might have been able to win if I had Bulked Upped instead of Stone Edging the Latias switch, Bulk Upped again, then Stone Edged, then Mach Punched. Latias would've been dead, Magnezone probably would have died, and Swampert would eventually be taken down with repeated punches.

So we say our good lucks and begin the match. I run a lead Metagross without Explosion, so Swampert absolutely walls me. I decide to do the basic thing that helps out all offensive teams; Stealth Rock.
Code:
Metagross used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!
Swampert used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!
Stealth Rock on both sides.
Ok so that was expected from both of us. Now that the rocks are up I can switch Rotom in and set up if he stays in. I doubt he will, but still its a good switch.
Ok, no surprises there. Metagross is walled and I like to save him for later in case I need priority with Bullet Punch. I have three switches into the Earthquake in this situation; Latias, Rotom-H, or Breloom. Latias is scared of possible Avalanches, Rotom-H can only hope to burn it and then switch, but Breloom can use the switch to activate its Poison Heal and try to sweep.
Code:
Starstorm98 switched in Rotom-c (lvl 100 Rotom-c).
adub_banded switched in Breloom (lvl 100 Breloom).
Breloom was badly poisoned!
Hmm, a Breloom. If I can set up a Sub on it then that'll put me in a good position. I'm assuming this is a Breloom with Spore, Leech Seed, Substitute, and Focus Punch so I just have to hope I'm faster.
Darn. I use Bulk Up Breloom, which is fairly easily countered by the Rotom-Appliances. I know Shadow Ball won’t KO and unless it’s a rare substitute variety, using Spore is probably a fine choice. I can also guess that it doesn’t have a super effective hidden power because it isn’t scarfed and I don’t have to fear Will-o-wisp. I finally decide to try putting it to sleep.

This is very, very good. I got the substitute up, which puts me in a huge advantage. Now I could go for the WoW since I suspect he'll switch out, but I decide to Shadow Ball just to get some damage.
This is very, very bad. Substitute Rotom-Appliance is a Pokemon that can seriously cause problems for my team. I have to think about my next move hard. This basically means I have to make a sacrifice. I’m going to hope it uses Hidden Power Fire or makes a prediction with WoW and switch in Latias rather than rely on Stone Edge to break his Substitute.

adub_banded switched in Latias (lvl 100 Latias).

It's super effective!
Latias lost 54% of its health.
Ah, a good thing I went for the Shadow Ball now as he tries to break my Sub I can just knock out his Latias which could have been a big threat to my team.
No such luck. It looks like Latias gets to be my sacrifice. Looking back, this is probably a mistake. Latias is a much sturdier sweeper than my Infernape and would have been a more effective sweeper against Jiovaine’s team. Latias has won me games before (Hi cyberzero!), but I need that substitute down.

It's not very effective...
Latias lost 37% of its health.
Infernape was hit by recoil!
Infernape lost 14% of its health.
Infernape lost 10% of its health.
Oof, that Flare Blitz hurt alot. I think I can take another one so I'll stay in and Dragon Pulse, but... he has two pokemon I haven't seen and they both could be either Scizor or Tyranitar. Hmm what to do?

Ok, just as planned. Now I’ve decided to go for a BU Breloom sweep. The trick is going to be getting it in and set up. I expect a Latias switch in here.
Code:
Starstorm98 switched in Latias (lvl 100 Latias).
Code:
adub_banded switched in Jirachi (lvl 100 Jirachi).
Latias used Recover.
Latias restored 50% of its health.
Ugh Jirachi if this is a CM I'm in huge trouble. I've got to get Swampert in there and see what kind of Jirachi that is.
Recover means he can come in on Ape again, but hopefully it won’t matter. Now to go to stage 2 of my plan. I’m going to attempt the infamous double switch. Here we go…
Code:
Starstorm98 switched in Swampert (lvl 100 Swampert).
adub_banded switched in Breloom (lvl 100 Breloom).
Code:
Breloom used Spore.
Swampert fell asleep!
Swampert is fast asleep!
I'd rather have Swampert asleep then anyone else on my team. Now that Swampert is asleep time to bring in Scizor.
Darn. There goes my plan. I take a moment to think here. From his team right now I’m guessing he switches in Latias, assuming he thinks I’m running SubPunch. I need the Psychic-Dragon gone if I want Loom to sweep. So…….. It’s time for another double switch!
Code:
Starstorm98 switched in Scizor (lvl 100 Scizor).
adub_banded switched in Jirachi (lvl 100 Jirachi).
Here comes that Jirachi again. I still think that's the CM Sub set since its the most powerful so I'll U-turn out and send in Magnezone.
That’s a surprise, but a good switch for me. Breloom can be hit hard by Choice Band Scizor until it gets a few Bulk Ups in. Hopefully he goes for the U-turn so I can OHKO with Fire Punch.
Code:
Jirachi used Fire Punch.
It's super effective!
Scizor lost 88% of its health.
Starstorm98's Scizor fainted.
4-4
...oh crap! I did not that coming at all. At least its not the CM set, but the FirePunch and the fact that Jirachi can outspeed me without a Scarf doesnt help when I'm trying to figure out what set he's running. Although the lack of leftovers does help a little.
Victory! Hopefully Latias is the only thing that can set up on fire moves on his team, I can handle it ok.
Code:
Starstorm98 switched in Kingdra (lvl 100 Kingdra).
Code:
adub_banded switched in Rotom-h (lvl 100 Rotom-h).
Kingdra used Dragon Dance.
Kingdra's attack was raised.
Kingdra's speed was raised.
The sight of an opposing Rotom always gives me a bad feeling. Lets just smack this thing down before he does anything funny.
Code:
Kingdra used Waterfall.
Rotom-h lost 52% of its health.
Rotom-h used Thunderbolt.
Kingdra lost 44% of its health.
Code:
Kingdra used Waterfall.
Rotom-h lost 48% of its health.
adub_banded's Rotom-h fainted.
4-3
Alright hopefully I can go for a sweep with Kingdra. He only has three pokemon left. This is just what I need. I just hope Kingdra doesn't get screwed over by hax and she can't sweep for me like in my last match (hope you're watching Hybrid)
Farewell Rotom, you were a good sacrifice. Now to go to Jirachi for revenge. Thunder and Ice Punches won’t KO with its remaining health, so I have to go for Flinch-Hax.
Code:
adub_banded switched in Jirachi (lvl 100 Jirachi).
Jirachi used Iron Head.
It's not very effective...
Kingdra lost 20% of its health.
Kingdra used Waterfall.
Jirachi lost 57% of its health.
Code:
Jirachi used Iron Head.
It's not very effective...
Kingdra lost 20% of its health.
Kingdra flinched!
>.> Figures
Success! It dies next turn.
Code:
Jirachi used Iron Head.
It's not very effective...
Kingdra lost 4% of its health.
Starstorm98's Kingdra fainted.
3-3
Ok that was pretty lame, although I guess I should have had that coming.
You’ve got to love Jirachi, as long as you’re not on the receiving end =/
Code:
Starstorm98 switched in Magnezone (lvl 100 Magnezone).
Code:
[COLOR=red]Legacy Raider: checkmate[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]VaderPhish: shit[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]Plus: Hm, yeah[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]cyberzero: woah[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]Plus: If this happens to be sub it's game over[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]Starstorm98: yeah thanks for that LR [/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]FolgorioTheKickAss: i totally disagree[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]squirtleboy12: lol[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]Axe: =][/COLOR]
Jirachi used Iron Head.
It's not very effective...
Magnezone lost 9% of its health.
Magnezone flinched!
As mentioned it's checkmate. Now that I know his Jirachi is scarfed and locked in Iron Head, Magnezone can easily come in after being kept secret from the battle. Looks like I can win this.
Sweet, a 10HKO! *sarcasm* All I need is 9 flinches in a row, about a 4% chance...
Code:
Jirachi used Iron Head.

Magnezone lost 9% of its health.
Magnezone flinched!
If I get flinched to death I'm going to forfiet I swear >.>

Magnezone lost 9% of its health.
Magnezone used Thunderbolt.
A critical hit!
Jirachi lost 25% of its health.
adub_banded's Jirachi fainted.
3-2
Bah, that was annoying, but at least its gone. Btw I chose to use Thunderbolt instead of HpFire for this reason. I know he has a Infernape still in battle if I used HP Fire it could easily come in which could put Latias or Swampert in danger because FlareBlitz and CloseCombat can hurt them both pretty badly. So I want to keep Infernape out of the ring until its perfectly safe. Also I still suspect his Breloom is the standard set and Swampert is asleep so Latias can come in easily and knock him out as well as Infernape.
No such luck. I’m fairly sure I lose at this point. Oh well, go Breloom! I Stone Edge, knowing Latias will come in.
Code:
[COLOR=red]FolgorioTheKickAss: lol[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]squirtleboy12: ahh man jirachi complate haxing this[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]VaderPhish: noooooooooooooo![/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]FolgorioTheKickAss: scarf[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]squirtleboy12: would have been epic[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]Plus: hm, scarf[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]Lord Vader: complate[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]FolgorioTheKickAss: i blame you squirtleboy[/COLOR]
Code:
adub_banded switched in Breloom (lvl 100 Breloom).
Starstorm98 switched in Latias (lvl 100 Latias).
Breloom used Stone Edge.
Latias lost 41% of its health.
What!? Stone Edge?! What sorcery is this!? That did alot to Latias so now I'm in trouble. I don't what to do now, because Stone Edge might eventually knock me out. Which leaves Magnezone extremely vulnerable because whatever move I use on Breloom wont affect Inferape that much and vice vera. Not to mention Swampert is still asleep. This is bad!
Well, that did not do nearly as much damage as I had hoped. I need a critical hit, or a higher damage roll if I want any chance of winning.
Code:
[COLOR=red]squirtleboy12: mm[/COLOR]
Latias used Recover.
Latias restored 47% of its health.
Breloom used Stone Edge.
Latias lost 46% of its health.
Code:
[COLOR=red]squirtleboy12: its game[/COLOR]
Is he seriously trying to PP stall me? Oh well, this just gives me a higher chance at a crit… or a miss…
Code:
Latias used Dragon Pulse.
Breloom lost 55% of its health.
Breloom used Stone Edge.
Latias lost 45% of its health.
Code:
[COLOR=red]FolgorioTheKickAss: nonsense[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]squirtleboy12: ahh wow[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]VaderPhish: wow[/COLOR]
Breloom used Mach Punch.
It's not very effective...
Latias lost 13% of its health.
Latias used Dragon Pulse.
A critical hit!
Breloom lost 58% of its health.
adub_banded's Breloom fainted.
3-1
PISS! Unless he’s running very few speed EVs and Magnezone is very slow, I lose.
Code:
adub_banded switched in Infernape (lvl 100 Infernape).
Latias used Dragon Pulse.
Infernape lost 27% of its health.
adub_banded's Infernape fainted.
Starstorm98 wins!
3-0
And thats the game. So thats how the finals of the tourney ended. I hope you enjoyed this warstory. GG to Adub-Banded.
GG Jiovaine, very well played and a very nice team. Looking back, I might have been able to win if I had Bulked Upped instead of Stone Edging the Latias switch, Bulk Upped again, then Stone Edged, then Mach Punched. Latias would've been dead, Magnezone probably would have died, and Swampert would eventually be taken down with repeated punches.
Props
