This. And what the heck was Scarfmence's 4th move? Aqua Tail? Hydro Pump?

To all those asking what Perish Song has to do with Celebi, think about it: Say Celebi is vs a different CM sweeper, like Jirachi and Latias, and as they usually win, they'll be confident and set up alongside you. That's where PS comes in. Besides, PS is a very, very useful move outside of that too.
Oh, and don't forget I'm still testing this ;p
I'll try to find a better match next time, but then again, that's what I always say. It never happens, lol. I'm glad that people like the commentary though - that only means that if I get a good enough battle, it may even be archive worthy! ._.
lol, expect more to come.

At first it seems like CM Perish Song would be to force switches, while letting you set up... but then you die =\ idgi
And I don't think GK hits enough, but that is just me. I guess it is better than running psychic and running into Tar/darks.
Why are people complaining about his leave =\ Yea leaving is rude, but in this case it just saved time. Who really wants to click/read through EQ vs CM/GK? He admitted his loss and left.
Also @whoever said DracoMeteor, he'd then lose to Rachi with a -6 resisted attack.
I enjoyed the match and realize I have to update for HG/SS.

ummmmmm, so you have a cm war with them and then perish song, putting you in a position where you both have to switch. that's really helpful!
so you've got to test something before realizing it's silly? time to break out the wurmples and see if they work!
Ok, so kick me when I made a mistake. I accidentally said that I'll win the war. That's not what I wanted to say - I just wanted to say that I need perish song to help my team overall. Oh well.
Aside from agreeing with Stath that Perish Song isn't very helpful outside of stall, I thought that this was a much better warstory than battle. The battle itself was only okay, considering that both of you played very conservatively and made some odd choices probably based on team weaknesses (the way your opponent used his Porygon2 was odd to say the least). By the way, the enemy Infernape was almost certainly a Nasty Plot Ape, which is why he didn't Close Combat against Heatran (he had NP/Fire Blast/Grass Knot/Vacuum Wave). 4/5, mostly because you are a good storyteller!
Stath, I don't think this is a good place to start chatting about my team, but threats like Snorlax and others give me some problems without PS. I am considering to replace it though.
@Witness: lol, was that post mostly to brag about "creating" RP Aggron? ;p

No, you CM once, Perish Song when you see them CM, and now you have forced a switch. Generally, I prefer Perish Song + U-turn, but maybe his team just needed some support against things like CM Jirachi/Latias?
Excellent warstory, very entertaining, and a good battle to boot. Well done!
No, he would have used Ariel Ace if that was the case. I'm guessing Roost or a water attack (Hydro Pump, Aqua Tail)
On this post I have to say that even though DM would've koed Celebi Jirachi would've ripped it apart. My guess is he was hoping Earthquake could ko so that Jirachi would've lost that battle. Really though its pretty stupid that he didn't have Fire Blast.
On this warstory: It's a good read I'll tell you that. I liked it but even though I get the fact that he quit because he knew he lost I still don't like that. I think so many others would agree.
On the note of Celebi: I love the fact that it survived Head smash from LiechiAggron. That made me lol. Now we know a very good counter for Aggron in gereral ou besides Heatran and infernape. (Although their not solid counters cause of earthquake.)
Celebi can still 2hko with Grass knot and recover off damage even though it has to watch for priority afterwards.
I think I stated enough through my calcs at the end. Max Attack Adamant LO Head Smash 2HKO's Celebi without a problem, and if SS is up, most Celebi won't even 2HKO. I think one of the more sturdier counters to Aggron is Bronzong, resisting EQ+Head Smash while hitting hard with EQ itself. Basicly, any Pkemon that resists Head Smash will have an easy time against Aggron, as EQ isn't such a force to be wary of. The problems is that not many Pokemon actually resist Rock in the current metagame, and this fact makes Aggron such a beast.
good story, kept me reading and intrigued. just goes to show how much difference a fireblast can make.
haha very nice, I just wanted to point out one thing though, one of the reasons why he used Vaccuum Wave on Infernape is that he probably noticed earlier during one of the double switches, that your Heatran switched out to Gyarados FIRST and his Infernape switching to Salamence SECOND, meaning your Heatran outsped his Infernape forcing him to use a Priority move to try to kill your Heatran
