The dreaded first lines of a warstory ever "Hey this is my first warstory and..." Well that's what you're getting. I've been a lurker for quite awhile and play quite frequently in-between bouts of me tearing out my own hair. This is a team I'm currently running to try and ladder so I can get into that sexy little voting booth and ban the hell out a third of my own team.
For privacy I've removed my opponents name. Please excuse %'s errors ranging from 1-5%ish usually. Had to do the math myself so I probably screwed up here and there thanks to all the hazards.
Hope you guys enjoy reading it, this was a bitch to write. I suddenly have a lot more respect for warstory writers...

Vexatious sent out Gengar!

(100%) VS
(100%)
Alright, right off the bat I've put myself into an interesting position. I expected him to lead with Tyranitar or Nattorei for early setup, each of whom Gengar can handle pretty easily. Unfortunately he most have seen Darkrai in my lead spot and sent out Roopushin to scare him off.
Now I run a Life Orb Gengar with Destiny Bond so this is good and bad. Roopushin is forced to use payback here, but without the boost on his end I'm not sure he can get a clean KO which means Destiny Bond won't revenge. If I chose shadow ball I could at least deal damage but still wouldn't get a KO but still leave me down Gengar. Not wanting to bring out Skymin to early, I move into Skarm for some quick setup.
Start of turn 1

Pretty much what I expected. Skarm shrugs off the payback and heals back up to Sturdy with his leftovers. Being able to eat Drain and Mach punch as well as whirlwind away a bulk up, Roopushin is pretty screwed against Skarm. He might also have feared Brave Bird (which I do not carry) but it doesn't matter what he intends to do. I'll take a free Stealth Rock to start the momentum going.

Got my Stealth Rock up but this is a rarity, Tyranitar coming in willingly. This, to me, means one of two things. Either it's a bandtar with Fire Punch (like my own who happens to tear Skarm a new hole if he's not ready) or a setup variant carrying Fire Blast. I doubt he wants to get locked into a choice move just now so I assume the latter. Fortunately I still have Sturdy proof and am a greedy bastard looking for more setup. I'll gladly let skarm drop to fodder for spikes.

Now this surprised me. I'll assume he expected me to switch and save my Skarm for later and took the chance to set up his own rocks. Now that I have a layer of each however, it's really no longer worth it to take a fire attack to the face for another layer of spikes. Looks like it's off to my pseudo-special wall, my own Tyranitar to eat the hit.

Alright, pretty good! Tyranitar eats that like a champ and saves Skarm from a crispy dinner platter. The problem here is my Tyranitar is slower than balls and his most likely is carrying either Superpower or Earthquake (both which will ruin my day). So my presence here is pretty much a bluff at a scarf set. Regardless of what he chooses to do, Gengar should be safe unless he expects me to switch and takes another blast or a stone edge at me.

Well shit. He was scared of my Tyranitar but his Roopushin has nothing to fear. To be honest I should have expected that and now, for my ignorance, we're back to square one. I really want this guy gone so Skymin is preferred here while he can come in on a weak payback.

Skymin comes in successfully, but in hindsight I should have just gone to Skarm and either set up more spikes or whirlwinded away his counter. Ah well, Skymins out there now. I think about subbing but without leech seed I can't risk lowering my health, I really need Skymin alive to take care of roopushin later. Since I know he's going to get the hell out of there, I decide to Seed Flare to hit whatever comes in hard which I'm hoping is a Tyranitar or Doryuuzu to resist my Air Slash.

Definitely the best move choice by my opponent, Nattorei eats everything Skymin has. However, I got that ever important special defense drop. If he starts to setup I can beat him down with 2(usually)Air Slashes after the drop with or without flinching. Although he can switch back out and eat Air Slash, I can't risk another seed flare with it's risky accuracy and PP especially if he's going to throw spikes my way.

There's that doryuuzu I wanted to see earlier! He's on a balloon which makes things annoying. What's worse is I miss popping the damn thing too. My team is pretty Doryuuzu weak and focuses on porygon2 beating it really. However, Skarm like the beast he is can take anything the mole throws at him. Skarms coming out to say hello!

Well...that's news to me. I wasn't aware doryuuzu even had rapid spin let alone ran it. Kind of sucks losing rocks like that but thanks to his fast ass, I got more spikes down.
Now here is where I decide to be a bastard. Since he's faster, he can only spin what I laid down the previous turn. Knowing that most of his team doesn't really care about spikes, I'd much rather have a layer of rocks down. Once I lay those down I can switch to gengar to block his spin and keep my rocks where they belong.

Bingo bango got to keep my rocks. Now this is a problem for me. Gengar can't keep coming in and out like he is, Skarmory is repetitive and accomplishes nothing, and most of my other pokemon are screwed over by doryuuzu. Porygon 2 can beat it one on one but I can't just throw him out there and hope to still win it. Rock slide coming from a non-banded non-sworded Doryuuz is pretty weak though. I carry focus blast for things like Tyranitar and steels so it's looking like Gengar is taking a dive. Once he's down porygon 2 is going to have to do some crazy shit.
Sorry buddy, best of luck out there. Look on the brightside though, your already dead right?

Jesus tap-dancing christ! Gengar you beautiful thing you! That knockout is beyond helpful for my team. With doryuuzu out of my face I can breath a little easier and set up more spikes knowing they'll stick around.
Back to Skarm since he can eat just about anything thrown at him. My opponent must have thought the same thing, as obvious as I am big surprise, and sends out his Latios to put a stop to things. Shit.
Skarm needs to get out of there before he gets wrecked by a specs anything. I know it can be fatal to ever assume a choice lock but I've never seen Latios without it. I'm expecting either a strong ice beam or an HP electric to fry my steel bird. Both of which Tyranitar can take and scare away with a choice banded pursuit. Hell yeah.

Nattorei rears his face again and eats a heavy crit. First bit of hax on my end but it's not really that useful. Though, most people don't expect HP fire to the face so I'm hoping he trys to setup expecting the usual ice beam/discharge/toxic/recover set.

Beautiful. Tyranitar is done to a sliver and Darkrai is ready to play. Mine is scarfed since he's usually my trick lead. I need to hit this guy before he kills me with something stupid like superpower. Focus Blast is overkill and can miss, trick is pointless. Dark pulse seems like the right move but no. He can't switch thanks to hazards but if he does i lose momentum to nattorei. Dark Void however can KO tyranitar AND cripple a switch at the same time. Go go gadget void!

There we go -.- Skymin finally appears. Luckily for me, he doesn't realize I'm scarfed. This is pretty much clenching the game for me if he trys to stay in. If he switches I have to move to porygon2 on a double switch and have to live through a seed flare which is as unlikely as me not flinching to a 2HKO from Air Slash. If he stays I practically win, if he switches he practically wins. However if he switches and I switch, I win. Weighing my odds I figure since he can't know I'm scarfed, he wont take the safest route and switch to eat my Dark Void. I just hope it hits...

Got my Stealth Rock up but this is a rarity, Tyranitar coming in willingly. This, to me, means one of two things.

I doubt he wants to get locked into a choice move just now so I assume the latter. Fortunately I still have Sturdy proof and am a greedy bastard looking for more setup.

Alright, pretty good! Tyranitar eats that like a champ and saves Skarm from a crispy dinner platter. The problem here is my Tyranitar is slower than balls and his most likely is carrying either Superpower or Earthquake (both which will ruin my day). So my presence here is pretty much a bluff at a scarf set. Regardless of what he chooses to do, Gengar should be safe unless he expects me to switch and takes another blast or a stone edge at me.

Well shit. He was scared of my Tyranitar but his Roopushin has nothing to fear. To be honest I should have expected that and now, for my ignorance, we're back to square one. I really want this guy gone so Skymin is preferred here while he can come in on a weak payback.

Skymin comes in successfully, but in hindsight I should have just gone to Skarm and either set up more spikes or whirlwinded away his counter. Ah well, Skymins out there now. I think about subbing but without leech seed I can't risk lowering my health, I really need Skymin alive to take care of roopushin later. Since I know he's going to get the hell out of there, I decide to Seed Flare to hit whatever comes in hard which I'm hoping is a Tyranitar or Doryuuzu to resist my Air Slash.

Definitely the best move choice by my opponent, Nattorei eats everything Skymin has. However, I got that ever important special defense drop. If he starts to setup I can beat him down with 2(usually)Air Slashes after the drop with or without flinching. Although he can switch back out and eat Air Slash, I can't risk another seed flare with it's risky accuracy and PP especially if he's going to throw spikes my way.

There's that doryuuzu I wanted to see earlier! He's on a balloon which makes things annoying. What's worse is I miss popping the damn thing too. My team is pretty Doryuuzu weak and focuses on porygon2 beating it really. However, Skarm like the beast he is can take anything the mole throws at him. Skarms coming out to say hello!

Well...that's news to me. I wasn't aware doryuuzu even had rapid spin let alone ran it. Kind of sucks losing rocks like that but thanks to his fast ass, I got more spikes down.
Now here is where I decide to be a bastard. Since he's faster, he can only spin what I laid down the previous turn. Knowing that most of his team doesn't really care about spikes, I'd much rather have a layer of rocks down. Once I lay those down I can switch to gengar to block his spin and keep my rocks where they belong.

Bingo bango got to keep my rocks. Now this is a problem for me. Gengar can't keep coming in and out like he is, Skarmory is repetitive and accomplishes nothing, and most of my other pokemon are screwed over by doryuuzu. Porygon 2 can beat it one on one but I can't just throw him out there and hope to still win it. Rock slide coming from a non-banded non-sworded Doryuuz is pretty weak though. I carry focus blast for things like Tyranitar and steels so it's looking like Gengar is taking a dive. Once he's down porygon 2 is going to have to do some crazy shit.
Sorry buddy, best of luck out there. Look on the brightside though, your already dead right?

Jesus tap-dancing christ! Gengar you beautiful thing you! That knockout is beyond helpful for my team. With doryuuzu out of my face I can breath a little easier and set up more spikes knowing they'll stick around.
Back to Skarm since he can eat just about anything thrown at him. My opponent must have thought the same thing, as obvious as I am big surprise, and sends out his Latios to put a stop to things. Shit.
Skarm needs to get out of there before he gets wrecked by a specs anything. I know it can be fatal to ever assume a choice lock but I've never seen Latios without it. I'm expecting either a strong ice beam or an HP electric to fry my steel bird. Both of which Tyranitar can take and scare away with a choice banded pursuit. Hell yeah.

Alright porygon2 time to avenge your comrade. I run a weird porygon2 with special attack investment and three attacking moves with his pre-evo stone. Turns out pretty beast.

Nattorei rears his face again and eats a heavy crit. First bit of hax on my end but it's not really that useful. Though, most people don't expect HP fire to the face so I'm hoping he trys to setup expecting the usual ice beam/discharge/toxic/recover set.

You're a freaking beast! How I lived through that I'm not sure. Skymin strikes back and rids me of another heavy threat. Tyranitar comes up and wants to play. Seed flare can't KO just yet so I really could Air Slash and hope for a flinch but I don't like risking nor relying on flinches. Seed Flare away, you've done good Skymin!

Beautiful. Tyranitar is done to a sliver and Darkrai is ready to play. Mine is scarfed since he's usually my trick lead. I need to hit this guy before he kills me with something stupid like superpower. Focus Blast is overkill and can miss, trick is pointless. Dark pulse seems like the right move but no. He can't switch thanks to hazards but if he does i lose momentum to nattorei. Dark Void however can KO tyranitar AND cripple a switch at the same time. Go go gadget void!

There we go -.- Skymin finally appears. Luckily for me, he doesn't realize I'm scarfed. This is pretty much clenching the game for me if he trys to stay in. If he switches I have to move to porygon2 on a double switch and have to live through a seed flare which is as unlikely as me not flinching to a 2HKO from Air Slash. If he stays I practically win, if he switches he practically wins. However if he switches and I switch, I win. Weighing my odds I figure since he can't know I'm scarfed, he wont take the safest route and switch to eat my Dark Void. I just hope it hits...
