Buck teeth are more then just for chuckin' - an NU Tournament Warstory

Well, I was taking a look at the NU forums about a week ago, and I noticed that Sceats was holding the very first NU tournament on the forums. I was pretty excited since I was really looking forward to play in it, and I really enjoy playing NU.

Then came the time for the pairings. I was paired up with a person named MonkeyMizzle. I've never heard of this person before, nor have I ever battled him. I was really lacking on a good team, so before I tried getting in contact with him, I hit the drawing board.

With a couple of tests here and there, I've come up with an awesome team. It's essentially like the Dual Screen Azelf + Pure Baton Passer Gliscor + Metagross, but I brought that into the NU metagme. My team consists of one simple strategy, to pass on the boosts Gligar that achieved and passing it on to Bibarel. Gardevoir helps me increase Gligar's chances by setting up both of the dual screens and then using Memento to bring Gligar in safely. After that, I gather one Agility and one or two Swords Dance boosts to pass them on to Bibarel, and with Bibarel's Simple ability, it's a force to be reckoned with.

COMMENCE BATTLE!


---
Rules: Ladder Match, Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Evasion Clause, Species Clause, Strict Damage Clause
MonkeyMizzle sent out Persian (lvl 100 Persian ?).
Fuzznip sent out Pinsir (lvl 100 Pinsir ?).
---

vs

Pinsir: 100%
Persian: 100%

Ok, a Persian lead. Most carry Fake Out, and that will easily break my Focus Sash. I gotta switch to Dusclops to absorb the hit.

---
Fuzznip switched in Dusclops (lvl 100 Dusclops ?).
Dusclops is exerting its pressure!
Persian used Taunt.
Dusclops fell for the taunt!
---

vs

Dusclops: 100%
Persian: 100%

Hmm, no Fake Out? Taunt just made Dusclops useless, I can’t touch Persian. I gotta switch out, Pinsir should do the trick.

---
Fuzznip switched in Pinsir (lvl 100 Pinsir ?).
Persian used Hypnosis.
Pinsir fell asleep!
---

vs

Pinsir: 100% (asleep)
Persian: 100%

Hypnosis, that’s not good. Now that I have a crippled Pinsir, I can’t set up Stealth Rock anymore. I gotta kill that Persian fast, Medicham can put a nice dent into it.

---
Fuzznip switched in Medicham (lvl 100 Medicham ?).
Persian used U-turn.
Medicham lost 28% of its health.
MonkeyMizzle switched in Primeape (lvl 100 Primeape ?).
---

vs

-->

Medicham: 72%
Primeape: 100%

Dam it, Primeape. Most of these carry Choice Scarf. I can’t afford to hurt Medicham. I’ll have to switch out to Dusclops so I can wall it.

---
Fuzznip switched in Dusclops (lvl 100 Dusclops ?).
Dusclops is exerting its pressure!
Primeape used U-turn.

Primeape: 100%

Arg, Persian happily walks in again. I smell a Taunt coming, so I’m gonna switch out to Pinsir so I have a shot at waking him up.

---
Fuzznip switched in Pinsir (lvl 100 Pinsir ?).
Persian used U-turn.
Pinsir lost 21% of its health.
MonkeyMizzle switched in Haunter (lvl 100 Haunter ?).
---

vs

-->

Persian: 100%
Pinsir: 79% (asleep)
Haunter: 100%

Oh great. U-turn is really frustrating me. Now I have to deal with Haunter, which I can safely say it would be Choice Scarfed since everyone one of them I've seen are Scarfed. I have no good switch-in to Shadow Ball, so I have to sacrifice Pinsir.

---
Haunter used Trick.
Haunter obtained Focus Sash!
Pinsir obtained Choice Scarf!
Pinsir is fast asleep!
---

vs

Pinsir: 79% (asleep)
Haunter: 100%

Trick? Oh I get it, it’s stealing my Focus Sash because I have no Stealth Rock up. I’m in such a bad situation. I need Pinsir to wake up, or else.

---
Pinsir woke up!
Pinsir used Stone Edge.
Haunter lost 93% of its health.
Haunter used Sludge Bomb.
Pinsir lost 79% of its health.
Fuzznip's Pinsir fainted.

vs

Pinsir: 0% (KO)
Haunter: 7%

Awesome. Even though Pinsir’s gone and I have no Stealth Rock up, I can now take care off Haunter by finishing it off with Dusclops.

Haunter: 0% (KO)
Score: 5 - 5

There we go, now that Haunter is off my chest, I can focus a little more. Never mind about me focusing more, Persian comes out once again. This thing has to die or I’m gonna have a ton of trouble later in the game. I’m assuming it’s going to U-turn, so I'll go for Will-O-Wisp.

---
MonkeyMizzle switched in Persian (lvl 100 Persian ?).
Persian used Hypnosis.
Persian's attack missed!
Dusclops used Will-o-wisp.
Persian was burned!
Persian was hurt by its burn!
Persian lost 12% of its health.
---

vs

Dusclops: 100%
Persian: 88% (burn)

My prediction was wrong, but I at least burnt it and avoided the Hypnosis. Now that I know it wants to sleep me, I have to switch out. I can’t afford to let Duslcops become crippled, I need him. Out comes Medicham.

---
Fuzznip switched in Medicham (lvl 100 Medicham ?).
Persian used Taunt.
Medicham fell for the taunt!
Persian was hurt by its burn!

Awesome, a critical hit. It U-turns once again for Metang. I think Meteor Mash won’t KO Medicham, so I decide to go for Fire Punch.

Medicham’s doing really well. My team isn't Stealth Rock weak, so I didn't mind Metang setting it up. One more Fire Punch to finish it.

That’s not good, a double miss. Using Will-O-Wisp again might not be such a good idea. His last Pokemon could be something like Ninetales to absorb it. With that being said, I’m gonna use Night Shade.

Ok, Metang's gone, now there's the beastly Linoone. That’s the Pokemon he’s been hiding all this time. This is definitely not good, if it gets in a Belly Drum, it’s game over for me. I have to burn it, I can’t miss.

Ugh, Gardevoir’s dead. Now I can’t set up my dual screens. My team plan has failed, I have no chance to win. I switch in Medicham, I assume it will use Extremespeed, so I switch out to Dusclops to make Linoone hurt itself further with the burn damage.

This is terrible, I just realized I can’t do anything to it. Close Combat can easily finish Bibarel, Medicham, and Gligar (because it has no attacking moves). Wait a second, maybe I can. I sacrifice Medicham as it uses Close Combat.

Nice warstory. I may try my hand at NU soon enough.

This was pretty fast paced, I quite enjoyed the battle.

However, I felt that the commentary was a bit lacking.

Decent effort though.

Agreeing with Erazor. I didn't enjoy the fact that each turn of commentary was a line and a half. Oh well.

Good game, nontheless, and great battle.

Eh it was okay. Average on comments and game.

Well it was my first warstory I've done.

Thanks for the comments, it will definitely make my next one better.

I did this. Then I did that. Then this happened, so I did this. Uh-oh, that's not good. Thank god this happened.

Hehe, I was wondering at the end "WHY THE HELL ISN'T HE BATON PASSING IT". That was a pretty cool ending. Good warstory.

a good try for a first warstory although the comments were lacking this warstory made me use bibarel again

good job fuzznip 3.5/5 for me

I thought it was a good warstory. The comments were good enough for me and to the point. Too bad I already knew the ending because I was spectating it :p.

Cool warstory, I really don't see why you were building up Agility at the end, when you couldve roosted/attacked though.

Gligar had no attack moves though

It only needed roost, and it would be able to PP Stall primeape until it KOed from recoil. Considering Primeape was most likely choiced, judging by the switch out from bibarel.

Hey, first off I liked the Warstory, NU battles can be so much harder to predict properly and it looks like both sides did that decently well in this match.

on a side note where the hell do you get those tiny little pictures used before each round? I've wanted to write out a Monotype battle warstory and I swear i can't find them anywhere.

Why did Gligar keep using agility? Would'nt it have been better to SD, just in case Quick Attack wasn't strong enough? It worked but still...

A bibareals quick attack can OHKO a primaepe without SR?? I ahve got to start using more bibarel.

When it has -4 def lol

Click to expand...

He didn't pass the boost anyway...but yeah if he had roost he should've SD'ed the first turn and then just kept roosting and primeape would kill itself with struggle.

I'm pretty sure the moveset was Swords Dance, Agility, Baton Pass, Taunt so he couldn't have done anything different really.

So why didnt he bp he wasnt locked in.

He didn't BP because he wanted to win, obviously.

If he baton passed Bibarel would take the incoming close combat and die... unless he used Swords Dance and not agility so he would be slower then Primeape. Yeah he should have BP's a swords dance.

I really enjoyed it, I think its funny how now that the NFE ban has been lifted, everyone is using them :)

I enjoyed this warstory. While the commentary was a little sparce, it was a great battle. I feel like your opponet was a great predicter, he was outpredicting you at every move in the beginning, but then he overpredicted a few times and gae you the momentum you kept for the whole game.

Thanks guys.

Yeah, Gligar's moveset was Agility/Swords Dance/Taunt/Baton Pass. I didn't have Roost to outstall it. I just thought about using Swords Dance instead of Agility, I guess I wasn't thinking there at that time.

Oh well, Bibarel did a sweet ending. x)

@Reaver12: You get those little sprites on pe2k.com. Scroll down a bit until you see a link called sprite resource, click that. Then you'll see in the D/P section that there's another link that says animated icons, have fun.

The agilities at the end were to let Primeape lower its own defense with Close Combat until Bibarel could OHKO.
