Recently been playing Battle Factory in Platinum quite a bit and managed to get 47 wins in a row before losing because of bad play by me in match 48.

Kind of blurry - my phone sucks at taking pictures :(

Can't remember much of the run before this one, there were quite a few times I survived with around 5-20 HP or so and other times where the EndureSalac Scizor twice would have swept me if it wasn't stupid and used an ineffective move/Magnezone survive in the second case.

Basically in the match I lost I had:

1. 821 | Mismagius | Timid | Focus Sash | Shadow Ball | Psychic | Thunderbolt | Destiny Bond | SpA/Spe

2. 919 | Latios | Adamant | Lum Berry | Dragon Claw | Shadow Claw | Earthquake | Dragon Dance | Atk/Spe

3. 808 | Tauros | Adamant | Choice Band | Return | Earthquake | Stone Edge | Zen Headbutt | Atk/Spe

I can't remember the first mon I started out against, but it was some Psychic or Ghost-type who Mismagius easily OHKOed it without taking any damage. Then I was up against Regigigas. I Thunderbolted as it Double Teamed, which meant it was 922 | Regigigas | Careful | Leftovers | Facade | Zen Headbutt | Double Team | Substitute | HP/Def/SpD. I then Thunderbolted a few times (one if which annoyingly paralysed it) while getting hit by Zen Headbutt for not much and at this time Regigigas had 2 Double Teams. I decided to switch to Tauros (my first mistake as I should have stayed in till Mismagius was weakened before Destiny Bonding to take it out, but I decided to forget Destiny Bond can't miss), then I got Zen Headbutted on the switch before using Return and missing then was hit by Facade down to like 100 HP or something, before hitting it with Return and bringing it down to like 1/10 HP and then Tauros was taken out of Facade. I bring in Latios, Dragon Claw hits Regigigas who survives with 1 HP and takes me out with Facade.

I then take it out with Thunderbolt from Mismagius and hope the last mon is someone Mismagius can OHKO. In comes Lanturn and I of course think I've obiously lost. I Shadow Ball for around 1/3 damage or bit more and get a SpD drop, giving me some hope. Then I get hit with Thunder, survive with like 30 HP and Shadow Ball again. Lanturn survives in low red then takes me out with Thunder :(

Hopefully in a while I'll a manage to go at least that one match further!
