another MetaTorn streak: 157
In the future, I will probably try Metagross exploding into partner Prankster Sableye: Foresight, Leer, Fake Out, something...but I was too lazy to breed Sableye, even though I have a female since last week...I only bred Jynx yesterday and tried SpecsMie Surf with FO,LK,IB,GK Jynx, lost at 35 to Haxorus because I forgot it outsped Jynx...
As for Leer, yes it´s useful, but Helping Hand does the same thing with priority and is unaffected by Clear Body, etc.
On topic of streaks, maaan, I lost another good MetaTorn one at #158 to those damned legends two hours ago...
Suicune + Entei lead
Entei is bad because the Scarf Eruption one OHKOs Meta, the others have Overheat, Overheat and Flamethrower (I think), but Meta outspeeds two...
I hate Suicune with a passion...that stupid thing just won´t die, I have to gang up on it with like 3 attacks...there´s Blizzard hax, Icy Wind hax, Calm Mind and of course Protect stall...this is one of the most unpredictable Subway Pokémon and you almost never know its set...
So yeah, I either risk and stay to dent both with a heavy quake plus Flying Gem Acrobatics or switch Meta for Hydra and get a SE Blizzard in the face...oh and I should attack Entei...
of course I stayed and attacked Cune, Acrobatics 60% dmg (ridiculous) to Cune, Sitrus (fffff...) back to 75%, Entei Overheat bye bye Meta, Cune Mirror Coat...
I brought in Medicham and used Fake Out + Acrobatics on Entei, fearing a Stone Edge...Cune used Hydro Pump on Cham
Turn 3 I finish off Entei with Acrobatics and Medicham Low Kicks Cune for about 60% dmg (lol) and Cune Ice Beams Cham for the KO...
foe Landorus, my Hydra
Turn 4 Tornadus KOs Cune and Landorus Protected (the Ground Gem Quake/Slide set)
foe Moltres
2-2, both teams with 100% HP
I decided to double target Moltres with Acro+Pulse...well, both foes outsped Hydra (go awful 150 speed), Lando Slide and Moltres Air Slash...at Hydra, Hydra flinched
Turn 6 Tornadus KOs Moltres, Hydra takes another Slide (Torn faints) and 15 HP left, Dragon Pulse, LO damage, Hydra fainted...
0-1
My initial idea after the latest streak (185) was to:
1. switch to Adamant Medicham to hit harder (it already does but sometimes I wish it did a little bit more) under Tailwind,
2. put ThunderPunch on Cham instead of Ice Punch or Psycho Cut because of that pesky Slowbro that gets on my nerves all the time and also I face a lot of Waters and have a tough time against them, also Gyarados is nasty...
...but I stick with that Cham for now...I really really hate that Adamant Cham is 2 points slower than two Tyranitars...in case I don´t have Tailwind up...Psycho Cut is needed to cover for Hydra and kills Fighters...Ice Punch is amazing against Pilots and Dragons...I don´t know, Fake Out doesn´t do much but it is strategically important in some cases where I need to waste a turn of TR or set up Tailwind or let Hydra hit something without being attacked...
lol instead, I´ve decided to switch back to Timid Hydra...I love Hydra, but holy cow I hate its speed and 150 without Tailwind up often gets me into tight situations mostly against stuff with 150-161 Speed...
I´m back at 49...
