The Battle of Hueco Mundo [OU Warstory] Now with dual narration!
Hi guys, this is my first warstory. I've been wanting to write one of these forever, but I never had time. This battle against hypervortex took place randomly while I was laddering for the hell of it, I thought it was pretty good so I decided to post it. Later, I came to find out he was actually on the top half of the leaderboard, so that was pretty random. This was supposed to be a double-commentary warstory from the very beginning, but unfortunately, Mr. hypervortex was too cool to answer my PMs sooner. Anyway, now that he sent me his part of the commentary (5 days later! -_-), you can enjoy the other side of this battle. I named the story "The Battle of Hueco Mundo" because it features the team in my newest RMT, "Welcome to Hueco Mundo." Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.
Rules:
Notes:
hypervortex sent out Azelf.
kokoloko sent out Azelf.
Azelf - 100%
Azelf - 100%
Mirror match, not a bad start since my Azelf is more specialized to take on other Azelf. If you checked out the RMT before you read this you know what I mean. I hope he Taunts as I U-turn out, so that I can potentially prevent Stealth Rock from being set up, but if he doesn't, that's okay too.
Alright, Azelf vs Azelf. Not totally uncommon. Doubt that it could really pose a problem... I'm thinking most likely a U-turner like all the rest. I decide to just take the hit and set up Stealth Rock while I'm at it.
Azelf used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!
Azelf used U-turn.
It's super effective!
Azelf lost 65% of its health.
kokoloko switched in Flygon.
Pointed stones dug into Flygon.
Flygon lost 6% of its health.
Flygon - 94%
Azelf - 35%
Meh, Stealth Rock doesn't hurt my team much so I don't mind him getting it off. I send in ScarfGon to kill off his lead with U-turn, and send mine back in to hopefully get my own Rocks up.
FUCK! Must be a Scarfgon... my absolute worst enemy, comparable only to Infernape, Starmie, and Gengar. U-turn is SUCH a bitch...ugh. Along with the measly 6% it takes from Stealth Rocks. The U-turn is pretty predictable early game, so I decide to absorb it and save Azelf for an Explosion later on, hopefully. Heatran, enjoy your 4x resist.
hypervortex switched Heatran.
Flygon used U-turn.
It's not very effective...
Heatran lost 6% of its health.
Change of plans here, he predicts my U-turn very well and goes to his Heatran to resist it. At this point I'm fearing ScarfTran so I decide not to send Azelf back out just yet, instead going for the safer option in Vaporeon.
kokoloko switched in Vaporeon.
Pointed stones dug into Vaporeon.
Vaporeon lost 12% of its health.
Vaporeon's leftovers restored restored 6% of its health.
Vaporeon - 94%
Heatran - 94%
Since I highly doubt a near full health Heatran would Explode this early, I predict a switch here and decide to scout his team a bit, with Roar.
Damn it, stonewalled. I have Hidden Power, which 2hkos most Vaporeon with Life Orb, but I don't want to risk getting Surfed. I'm going to my all-star, Shaymin.
hypervortex switched in Shaymin.
Vaporeon used Roar.
hypervortex switched in Azelf.
Vaporeon's leftovers restored restored 6% of its health.
Shaymin - 100%
Vaporeon - 100%
Azelf - 35%
Fuck, a Shaymin, the bane of my life! At least I didn't let it get in on Vaporeon, so it wasn't that bad. I dragged Azelf back out... I was hoping to reveal another team member, but whatever. I decide to Protect here, as, unlike Heatran, Azelf is very likely to use Explosion early-game, and I wouldn't mind a free kill.
Never mind, apparently I'm going to Azelf. Explosion is the obvious move, and dang Vappy always has Protect, so I guess I'll just fire off a Psychic and Explode next turn.
Vaporeon used Protect.
Vaporeon protected itself!
Azelf used Psychic.
Vaporeon protected itself!
Vaporeon - 100%
Azelf - 35%
Well that didn't work, but no biggie, I'm thinking he's going to try to Explode now that I've used Protect, so I switch to Rotom for the immunity.
Nothin doing. Kaboom baby.
kokoloko switched in Rotom-H.
Pointed stones dug into Rotom-H.
Rotom-H lost 12% of its health.
Azelf used Explosion.
It doesn't affect Rotom-H...
hypervortex's Azelf fainted.
Rotom-H's leftovers restored 6% of its health.
Rotom-H - 94%
Azelf - dead.
There's my free kill. Not much else to say here...
... I'm a noob. At least it's a Rotom-H, and it's got Lefties... so, meet Heatran.
kokoloko 6 - 5 hypervortex
hypervortex switched in Heatran.
Here, I have a choice. Since this team sort of revolves around getting a Lucario sweep, I usually depend on Rotom for paralyzing shit like ScarfTran who can ruin that. This leads me to want to just stay in and Thunder Wave, as I can survive a Fire Blast, cripple Heatran, and then use Rotom as death fodder later. However, I decide to play it a bit safer and switch in my unrevealed Heatran to try to absorb the incoming Fire Blast.
Time to burn shit up... actually, I foresee Vaporeon coming in again, so I guess i'll Substitute, just to knock it up a bit with HP Electric.
kokoloko switched in Heatran.
Pointed stones dug into Heatran.
Heatran lost 12% of its health.
Heatran used Substitute.
Heatran lost 25% of its health.
Heatran made a substitute!
Heatran - 88%
Heatran - 69%
Instead though, I get met by a Substitute, and since I don't feel like taking an Earth Power to the face just to try and break his Sub, I go to Azelf on the predicted Earth Power.
Ok, he brought in his own Heatran, nice. I don't know what his item is, but I'm betting its Specs'd or something. I really have no idea, but I do know that it won't like an Earth Power to the face... I'll just Fire Blast his switchin. Hopefully it's Flygon.
kokoloko switched in Azelf.
Pointed stones dug into Azelf.
Azelf lost 12% of its health.
Heatran used Fire Blast.
Azelf lost 88% of its health.
kokoloko's Azelf fainted.
Heatran lost 10% of its health.
Azelf - dead.
Heatran - 59%
... but it blows up in my face due to an awesome prediction by hypervortex. Here, a couple of important things happened: First, I'm not getting Rocks up this match, as Azelf is my Stealth Rocker; and second, I notice his Heatran is Life Orbed, which means an easy kill for Lucario, as long as he's not behind a Sub.
Good enough. Not Flygon though. Bring it on, kokoloko XD.
kokoloko 5 - 5 hypervortex
kokoloko switched in Vaporeon.
Pointed stones dug into Vaporeon.
Vaporeon lost 12% of its health.
After last turn's disheartening turn of events, I decide to send in Vaporeon and Roar out Heatran and his stupid Sub, hopefully scouting some more of his team in the process.
Heatran used Hidden Power.
It's super effective!
Vaporeon lost 44% of its health.
Heatran lost 10% of its health.
Vaporeon used Roar.
hypervortex switched in Tyranitar.
Tyranitar's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!
A sandstorm brewed!
The sandstorm rages.
Vaporeon is buffetted by the sandstorm!
Vaporeon lost 6% of its health.
Vaporeon's leftovers restored 6% of its health.
Vaporeon - 44%
Tyranitar - 100%
However, his Heatran hits Vaporeon with a super-effective Hidden Power on his way out, cutting her health in half. I also see Tyranitar gets dragged out, which is good since I had not seen him before. The only thing that bugs me is that Sand Stream is now cancelling Vaporeon's and Rotom's leftovers, but I can deal. I strongly suspect he's Scarfed since his Heatran is not, so I decide to scout which move he'll lock himself into, with Protect.
Alright, Tyranitar says hi. I can ohko this fool with Stone Edge now, so I'm going to go for it... Hopefully he switches in Flygon now. Gotta get some damage on that evasive bug-eyed freak.
Vaporeon used Protect.
Vaporeon protected itself!
Tyranitar used Stone Edge.
Vaporeon protected itself!
The sandstorm rages.
Vaporeon is buffetted by the sandstorm!
Vaporeon lost 6% of its health.
Vaporeon's leftovers restored 6% of its health.
Vaporeon - 44%
Tyranitar - 100%
Stone Edge huh? Okay, time to reveal the cool guy, Lucario.
Ah damn. Should've seen that comin and Dragon Danced. That would've lured in Flygon for sure. I'm a noob. Hopefully that's portrayed the image of Scarf or Band though... I guess I'll keep with it.
kokoloko switched in Lucario.
Pointed stones dug into Lucario.
Lucario lost 3% of its health.
Tyranitar used Stone Edge.
It's not very effective...
Lucario lost 21% of its health.
The sandstorm rages.
Lucario - 76%
Tyranitar - 100%
At this point I'm operating under the assumption that his Tyranitar is Scarfed, so I Crunch expecting him to switch in a Ghost-type, predicting my Close Combat. However here, I find out why assuming shit, with nothing more than circumstantial evidence, is a terrible idea.
Shit, the best 4x Rock resist in the game, and the only one? All I know is if it gets a Swords Dance up, shit will go down. That's not good. Please don't CC my slow ass.
Lucario used Crunch.
It's not very effective...
Tyranitar lost 15% of its health.
Tyranitar's defense was lowered.
Lucario lost 10% of its health.
Tyranitar used Earthquake.
It's super effective!
Lucario lost 66% of its health.
kokoloko's Lucario fainted.
The sandstorm rages.
Lucario - dead.
Tyranitar - 85%
"o.O fuck..." That was my reaction. Not only did I do jack-shit to his Tyranitar, but I lost my main sweeper for nothing. Usually, doing what I did works out very well, as it removes Lucario's main check. However, after having finished the battle and looking over his team, I realized that aside from his own Lucario, he had no Lucario check (I had no way of knowing this at the time though). Therefore, staying in, hoping I would try something like I did, or even try to set up, makes sense. I guess I did "overpredict," but that's just the way I play, since nine out of ten times it yields a positive result. But I digress... back to the battle. At this point, I felt like giving up after such a terrible turn of events. However, I decide to just make this my last match for the day, and to finish it with some dignity.
Sexy as hell. Scarftar around the world, I love you guys.
kokoloko 4 - 5 hypervortex
kokoloko switched in Flygon.
Pointed stones dug into Flygon.
Flygon lost 6% of its health.
I send out Flygon, and consider my options. Last time Flygon was out, he sent his Heatran in to take the U-turn, and with no Rocks on his side, he can do so again without losing much; because of this, I consider using Earthquake. However, I decide that allowing his Shaymin a semi-free switch into Earthquake is much worse than U-turning into Heatran, as with the latter I still retain momentum. With this in mind, I decide to U-turn right back out to scout his switch, as even if he doesn't switch, Tyranitar still takes a lot from Adamant ScarfGon's U-turn, so its a win-win here.
I see the U-turn coming again, and I bring in Heatran to take it.
hypervortex switched in Heatran.
Flygon used U-turn.
It's not very effective...
Heatran lost 7% of its health.
kokoloko switched in Heatran.
Pointed stones dug into Heatran.
Heatran lost 12% of its health.
The sandstorm rages.
Flygon - 88%
Heatran - 52%
Heatran - 75%
hypervortex switches in Heatran, predicting my U-turn, but that's okay, since I get to keep the momentum on my side. At this point I'm kicking myself for letting Azelf die though, since Stealth Rock would be really wearing down his Heatran. I send out my own Heatran in to try to psych him into thinking I'm Scarfed and force his switch. Also, since I'm pretty sure he is going to switch, I decide to keep that illusion intact by simply using Earth Power.
Unfortunately, he bring in his. I still don't know its set, so I'm hoping it's Scarf so I can set up on a weak Earth Power. Don't want to risk the speed tie anyways.
hypervortex switched in Suicune.
Suicune is exerting its pressure!
Heatran used Earth Power.
Suicune lost 23% of its health.
Suicune's special defence was lowered.
The sandstorm rages.
Suicune is buffetted by the sandstorm!
Suicune lost 6% of its health.
Suicune's leftovers restored 6% of its health.
Heatran - 75%
Suicune - 77%
Ooh! A SpD drop. The first meaningful hax of the match, although it doesn't really mean much to be honest, just a bit of extra damage next turn. I decide to play it risky here; predicting a Calm Mind, I stay in, give up the fact that my Heatran isn't actually Scarfed, and use Hidden Power Electric on his Cune. This is to scout wether it's an offensive version or not. The SpD drop did an extra like 12% to him so whatever.
Special Defense drop? Whatever yo. I'm still going to set up on your Choice-Locked ass.
Suicune used Calm Mind.
Suicune's special attack was raised.
Suicune's special defence was raised.
Heatran used Hidden Power.
It's super effective!
Suicune lost 36% of its health.

Suicune is buffetted by the sandstorm!
Suicune lost 6% of its health.
Suicune's leftovers restored 6% of its health.
Heatran - 75%
Suicune - 41%
Okay, so he's faster, probably an offensive version then. Here, I predict he'll go for the Surf and try and kill Hetran, so I switch to Vaporeon to try and regain some health...
Nvm, not Choice-Locked at all. Ballsy move to stay in. My health is bein compromised. Well now that he knows I'm faster and +1, he's not going to stay in. Let's see what he brings to the party.
kokoloko switched in Vaporeon.
Pointed stones dug into Vaporeon.
Vaporeon lost 12% of its health.

Suicune's leftovers restored 6% of its health.
Vaporeon - 32%
Flygon - 82%
Suicune - 41%
... but I get met with a Roar which drags out Flygon. This, along with the amount of damage Heatran did with HP Electric, leads me to belive its the good old CM-Roar set that was popular way back when. This is important, because it lets me deduce that Flygon is nowhere near strong enough to take out Cune in one shot. Because of this, I decide to U-turn out and bring in Vaporeon on a predicted Surf.
Smart enough. Hoping to absorb my Surf, kokoloko brings in Vaporeon and I'm face to face with Flygon again. If I can land a Surf on him, he's useless and Extremespeed bait for Lucario... but if he brings in Vaporeon again, I'll just have undid all the damage I've done. I predict the U-turn and go for HP Electric. Please bring in Vappy.
Flygon used U-turn.
Suicune lost 16% of its health.

Suicune - 25%
... but hypervortex outpredicts me once again! This time, it costs me my Vaporeon. Again, a very demoralizing turn for me, but at least I know I can KO his Suicune with Rotom now. Revenge time!
Awesome, a free kill! Sadly, Suicune is now weak as fuck, and hasn't done jack except kill a 32% Vaporeon. I'm starting to get this ominous feeling.
kokoloko 3 - 5 hypervortex

Yay, dead Suicune. Not much else to say here.
And Rotom comes in on the revenge kill. I hope it doesn't have Overheat and bring in Shaymin to knock it up with some Seed Flare.
kokoloko 3 - 4 hypervortex
hypervortex switched in Shaymin.
When I was playing this game and saw that Shaymin came out, I thought to myself "I might still win this." I was planning to take the Seed Flare (which I know I can live due to max HP) and then hit him with Overheat to weaken him enough so that I could maybe pull off some kind of sweep.
Shaymin used Seed Flare.
A critical hit!
Rotom-H lost 82% of its health.
kokoloko's Rotom-H fainted.
The sandstorm rages.
Shaymin is buffetted by the sandstorm!
Shaymin lost 6% of its health.
Rotom-H - dead.
Shaymin - 94%
... but I get critted... man that was like a STAB to the heart (haha, get it? no? okay I'll stop). I was seriously getting ready to ragequit at this point, I could not belive how bad this game had gone for me... Ready to give up, I decide to ask hypervortex on the chat who his last unrevelaed pokemon was. He tells me it's Lucario. At this point, a plan concocts in my mind, and from here on out, I decide to operate under the assumption that he was telling the truth.
Ok, a crit. I guess I'll never know whether or not it has Overheat, but eh. Jubilation descends upon me as I realize I can OHKO Heatran with Earth Power and OHKO Flygon with Hidden Power Ice. Te game is MINE, bro. GG.
kokoloko 2 - 4 hypervortex
kokoloko switched in Heatran.
Pointed stones dug into Heatran.
Heatran lost 12% of its health.

The sandstorm rages.
Shaymin is buffetted by the sandstorm!
Shaymin lost 6% of its health.
Heatran - 12%
Shaymin - 22%
Step one, complete. Since I was operating under the assumption that his last pokemon was indeed Lucario, the only thing I needed Heatran to do was weaken that Shaymin enough so that I could potentially get a Flygon Earthquake sweep. Heatran had now accomplished that goal, both due to his berry, and despite Shaymin's. The only variables at this point were: One, whether or not he was telling the truth, and two, how bulky his Tyranitar was (I had yet to figure out his set this entire battle). Now, I needed to get Flygon in safely, so I decide to sacrifice Heatran here, putting myself at a 4-1 disadvantage, but potentially ensuring my win.
FUCKKKKKK. ShucaTran, I hate you. Now weak as hell, I have no chance of standing up to ScarfGon, even EQ. I'm in a position to get swept. I take a long time to make the obvious move (Earth Power). He's not bringing in Flygon, regardless. Plus, Heatran's worthless to him now. He's done his evil job.
Shaymin used Earth Power.
It's super effective!
Heatran lost 12% of its health.
kokoloko's Heatran fainted.
The sandstorm rages.
Shaymin is buffetted by the sandstorm!
Shaymin lost 6% of its health.
Heatran - dead.
Shaymin - 16%
Step two, complete. Despite the really ugly looking 4-1 score in his favor, I'm thinking I can still win this! Go Flygon!
Fie upon thee, demon! I banish thee into the hell from whence thou came, O walking volcano!

Great, the first thing he sends out is the only thing I know I can kill. -_- At this point, my connection was lagging like crazy, so the suspense was killing me.
kokoloko 1 - 2 hypervortex
hypervortex switched in Lucario.
So we wasn't lying, Awesome! Now I just hope he doesn't randomly run Shuca Berry or crits me with ExtremeSpeed...
I obviously roll over and die to Earthquake. Alright Lucario, I need some crit magic from ExtremeSpeed. Hax Gods, help me out.
Lucario used Extremespeed.

The Hax Gods are merciless...
kokoloko 1 - 1 hypervortex
hypervortex switched in Tyranitar.
Tyranitar's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!
Okay, the moment of truth. Even though this Flygon is Adamant, I got kind of worried here, as the only reason I could think of that he would send out Tyranitar after Lucario is because he thinks he can live an Earthquake. And since I still didn't know what kind of Tyranitar he was, he could easily have been a bulky variant. Here's some damage calcs for your reading pleasure (his Tyranitar is at 85%):
Adamant ScarfGon Earthquake vs. 4/0 Tyranitar: 80.7% - 95.3%
Adamant ScarfGon Earthquake vs. 252/0 Tyranitar: 68.3% - 80.7%
Adamant ScarfGon Earthquake vs. 160/0 Tyranitar: 72.4% - 85.6%
So even the least bulky Tyranitar has chance to survive at 85%. Shit, I really wish I had gotten those Rocks up earlier. Anyway, here goes nothing...
My only hope is Tyranitar. Luckily, he's only taken damage from Lucario's Crunch...and with no SR/Spikes up, I have a GREAT chance to survive. Max Attack Jolly Scarfgon with Earthquake Damage Calcs: 74.5% - 88.0% to min/min TTar. GO BABY. Bring this one home! Judgment Day has arrived.
Flygon used Earthquake.
It's super effective!
Tyranitar lost 85% of its health.

Tyranitar - dead.
kokoloko 1 - 0 hypervortex
kokoloko wins!
FUCK YEA! Great game dude.
PWNT. Tyranitar, like three others before him, rolls over and dies. Giant Rock/Dark pussy. I suspect a high damage roll, but I later learn that his Scarfgon is Adamant, fuck Scarfrachi/other Scarfgon. How unfortunate. Props to kokoloko for totally counter-teaming me. Just kidding, lol. I congratulate him on beating my leaderboard ass and conserving his Flygon like an OCD environmentalist conserves plastic. After the battle, he passingly mentions a warstory, I've heard that jawn before, and I never expect it to show up, but a couple days later, here it is, and it's pretty damn good. XD

Hi guys, this is my first warstory. I've been wanting to write one of these forever, but I never had time.

Later, I came to find out he was actually on the top half of the leaderboard, so that was pretty random. This was supposed to be a double-commentary warstory from the very beginning, but unfortunately, Mr. hypervortex was too cool to answer my PMs sooner. Anyway, now that he sent me his part of the commentary (5 days later! -_-), you can enjoy the other side of this battle. I named the story "The Battle of Hueco Mundo" because it features the team in my newest RMT, "Welcome to Hueco Mundo." Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

hypervortex sent out Azelf.
kokoloko sent out Azelf.


Mirror match, not a bad start since my Azelf is more specialized to take on other Azelf. If you checked out the RMT before you read this you know what I mean. I hope he Taunts as I U-turn out, so that I can potentially prevent Stealth Rock from being set up, but if he doesn't, that's okay too.
Alright, Azelf vs Azelf. Not totally uncommon. Doubt that it could really pose a problem... I'm thinking most likely a U-turner like all the rest. I decide to just take the hit and set up Stealth Rock while I'm at it.

Meh, Stealth Rock doesn't hurt my team much so I don't mind him getting it off. I send in ScarfGon to kill off his lead with U-turn, and send mine back in to hopefully get my own Rocks up.
FUCK! Must be a Scarfgon... my absolute worst enemy, comparable only to Infernape, Starmie, and Gengar. U-turn is SUCH a bitch...ugh. Along with the measly 6% it takes from Stealth Rocks. The U-turn is pretty predictable early game, so I decide to absorb it and save Azelf for an Explosion later on, hopefully. Heatran, enjoy your 4x resist.

Since I highly doubt a near full health Heatran would Explode this early, I predict a switch here and decide to scout his team a bit, with Roar.
Damn it, stonewalled. I have Hidden Power, which 2hkos most Vaporeon with Life Orb, but I don't want to risk getting Surfed. I'm going to my all-star, Shaymin.

Vaporeon used Roar.
hypervortex switched in Azelf.

Fuck, a Shaymin, the bane of my life! At least I didn't let it get in on Vaporeon, so it wasn't that bad. I dragged Azelf back out... I was hoping to reveal another team member, but whatever. I decide to Protect here, as, unlike Heatran, Azelf is very likely to use Explosion early-game, and I wouldn't mind a free kill.
Never mind, apparently I'm going to Azelf. Explosion is the obvious move, and dang Vappy always has Protect, so I guess I'll just fire off a Psychic and Explode next turn.
Vaporeon used Protect.
Vaporeon protected itself!
Azelf used Psychic.

Well that didn't work, but no biggie, I'm thinking he's going to try to Explode now that I've used Protect, so I switch to Rotom for the immunity.
Nothin doing. Kaboom baby.

There's my free kill. Not much else to say here...
... I'm a noob. At least it's a Rotom-H, and it's got Lefties... so, meet Heatran.
kokoloko 6 - 5 hypervortex
hypervortex switched in Heatran.
Here, I have a choice. Since this team sort of revolves around getting a Lucario sweep, I usually depend on Rotom for paralyzing shit like ScarfTran who can ruin that. This leads me to want to just stay in and Thunder Wave, as I can survive a Fire Blast, cripple Heatran, and then use Rotom as death fodder later. However, I decide to play it a bit safer and switch in my unrevealed Heatran to try to absorb the incoming Fire Blast.
Time to burn shit up... actually, I foresee Vaporeon coming in again, so I guess i'll Substitute, just to knock it up a bit with HP Electric.

Heatran made a substitute!


Instead though, I get met by a Substitute, and since I don't feel like taking an Earth Power to the face just to try and break his Sub, I go to Azelf on the predicted Earth Power.
Ok, he brought in his own Heatran, nice. I don't know what his item is, but I'm betting its Specs'd or something. I really have no idea, but I do know that it won't like an Earth Power to the face... I'll just Fire Blast his switchin. Hopefully it's Flygon.

... but it blows up in my face due to an awesome prediction by hypervortex. Here, a couple of important things happened: First, I'm not getting Rocks up this match, as Azelf is my Stealth Rocker; and second, I notice his Heatran is Life Orbed, which means an easy kill for Lucario, as long as he's not behind a Sub.
Good enough. Not Flygon though. Bring it on, kokoloko XD.

Pointed stones dug into Vaporeon.
Vaporeon lost 12% of its health.
After last turn's disheartening turn of events, I decide to send in Vaporeon and Roar out Heatran and his stupid Sub, hopefully scouting some more of his team in the process.

However, his Heatran hits Vaporeon with a super-effective Hidden Power on his way out, cutting her health in half. I also see Tyranitar gets dragged out, which is good since I had not seen him before. The only thing that bugs me is that Sand Stream is now cancelling Vaporeon's and Rotom's leftovers, but I can deal. I strongly suspect he's Scarfed since his Heatran is not, so I decide to scout which move he'll lock himself into, with Protect.
Alright, Tyranitar says hi. I can ohko this fool with Stone Edge now, so I'm going to go for it... Hopefully he switches in Flygon now. Gotta get some damage on that evasive bug-eyed freak.

At this point I'm operating under the assumption that his Tyranitar is Scarfed, so I Crunch expecting him to switch in a Ghost-type, predicting my Close Combat. However here, I find out why assuming shit, with nothing more than circumstantial evidence, is a terrible idea.
Shit, the best 4x Rock resist in the game, and the only one? All I know is if it gets a Swords Dance up, shit will go down. That's not good. Please don't CC my slow ass.

"o.O fuck..." That was my reaction. Not only did I do jack-shit to his Tyranitar, but I lost my main sweeper for nothing. Usually, doing what I did works out very well, as it removes Lucario's main check. However, after having finished the battle and looking over his team, I realized that aside from his own Lucario, he had no Lucario check (I had no way of knowing this at the time though). Therefore, staying in, hoping I would try something like I did, or even try to set up, makes sense. I guess I did "overpredict," but that's just the way I play, since nine out of ten times it yields a positive result. But I digress... back to the battle. At this point, I felt like giving up after such a terrible turn of events. However, I decide to just make this my last match for the day, and to finish it with some dignity.
Sexy as hell. Scarftar around the world, I love you guys.

kokoloko switched in Flygon.
Pointed stones dug into Flygon.
Flygon lost 6% of its health.
I send out Flygon, and consider my options. Last time Flygon was out, he sent his Heatran in to take the U-turn, and with no Rocks on his side, he can do so again without losing much; because of this, I consider using Earthquake. However, I decide that allowing his Shaymin a semi-free switch into Earthquake is much worse than U-turning into Heatran, as with the latter I still retain momentum. With this in mind, I decide to U-turn right back out to scout his switch, as even if he doesn't switch, Tyranitar still takes a lot from Adamant ScarfGon's U-turn, so its a win-win here.
I see the U-turn coming again, and I bring in Heatran to take it.

hypervortex switches in Heatran, predicting my U-turn, but that's okay, since I get to keep the momentum on my side. At this point I'm kicking myself for letting Azelf die though, since Stealth Rock would be really wearing down his Heatran. I send out my own Heatran in to try to psych him into thinking I'm Scarfed and force his switch. Also, since I'm pretty sure he is going to switch, I decide to keep that illusion intact by simply using Earth Power.
Unfortunately, he bring in his. I still don't know its set, so I'm hoping it's Scarf so I can set up on a weak Earth Power. Don't want to risk the speed tie anyways.

Ooh! A SpD drop. The first meaningful hax of the match, although it doesn't really mean much to be honest, just a bit of extra damage next turn. I decide to play it risky here; predicting a Calm Mind, I stay in, give up the fact that my Heatran isn't actually Scarfed, and use Hidden Power Electric on his Cune. This is to scout wether it's an offensive version or not. The SpD drop did an extra like 12% to him so whatever.
Special Defense drop? Whatever yo. I'm still going to set up on your Choice-Locked ass.

Okay, so he's faster, probably an offensive version then. Here, I predict he'll go for the Surf and try and kill Hetran, so I switch to Vaporeon to try and regain some health...
Nvm, not Choice-Locked at all. Ballsy move to stay in. My health is bein compromised. Well now that he knows I'm faster and +1, he's not going to stay in. Let's see what he brings to the party.

... but I get met with a Roar which drags out Flygon. This, along with the amount of damage Heatran did with HP Electric, leads me to belive its the good old CM-Roar set that was popular way back when. This is important, because it lets me deduce that Flygon is nowhere near strong enough to take out Cune in one shot. Because of this, I decide to U-turn out and bring in Vaporeon on a predicted Surf.
Smart enough. Hoping to absorb my Surf, kokoloko brings in Vaporeon and I'm face to face with Flygon again. If I can land a Surf on him, he's useless and Extremespeed bait for Lucario... but if he brings in Vaporeon again, I'll just have undid all the damage I've done. I predict the U-turn and go for HP Electric. Please bring in Vappy.

Awesome, a free kill! Sadly, Suicune is now weak as fuck, and hasn't done jack except kill a 32% Vaporeon. I'm starting to get this ominous feeling.

hypervortex switched in Shaymin.
When I was playing this game and saw that Shaymin came out, I thought to myself "I might still win this." I was planning to take the Seed Flare (which I know I can live due to max HP) and then hit him with Overheat to weaken him enough so that I could maybe pull off some kind of sweep.
Shaymin used Seed Flare.

... but I get critted... man that was like a STAB to the heart (haha, get it? no? okay I'll stop). I was seriously getting ready to ragequit at this point, I could not belive how bad this game had gone for me... Ready to give up, I decide to ask hypervortex on the chat who his last unrevelaed pokemon was. He tells me it's Lucario. At this point, a plan concocts in my mind, and from here on out, I decide to operate under the assumption that he was telling the truth.
Ok, a crit. I guess I'll never know whether or not it has Overheat, but eh. Jubilation descends upon me as I realize I can OHKO Heatran with Earth Power and OHKO Flygon with Hidden Power Ice. Te game is MINE, bro. GG.

Step one, complete. Since I was operating under the assumption that his last pokemon was indeed Lucario, the only thing I needed Heatran to do was weaken that Shaymin enough so that I could potentially get a Flygon Earthquake sweep. Heatran had now accomplished that goal, both due to his berry, and despite Shaymin's. The only variables at this point were: One, whether or not he was telling the truth, and two, how bulky his Tyranitar was (I had yet to figure out his set this entire battle). Now, I needed to get Flygon in safely, so I decide to sacrifice Heatran here, putting myself at a 4-1 disadvantage, but potentially ensuring my win.
FUCKKKKKK. ShucaTran, I hate you. Now weak as hell, I have no chance of standing up to ScarfGon, even EQ. I'm in a position to get swept. I take a long time to make the obvious move (Earth Power). He's not bringing in Flygon, regardless. Plus, Heatran's worthless to him now. He's done his evil job.

Tyranitar's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!
Okay, the moment of truth. Even though this Flygon is Adamant, I got kind of worried here, as the only reason I could think of that he would send out Tyranitar after Lucario is because he thinks he can live an Earthquake. And since I still didn't know what kind of Tyranitar he was, he could easily have been a bulky variant. Here's some damage calcs for your reading pleasure (his Tyranitar is at 85%):
Adamant ScarfGon Earthquake vs. 4/0 Tyranitar: 80.7% - 95.3%
Adamant ScarfGon Earthquake vs. 252/0 Tyranitar: 68.3% - 80.7%
Adamant ScarfGon Earthquake vs. 160/0 Tyranitar: 72.4% - 85.6%
So even the least bulky Tyranitar has chance to survive at 85%. Shit, I really wish I had gotten those Rocks up earlier. Anyway, here goes nothing...
My only hope is Tyranitar. Luckily, he's only taken damage from Lucario's Crunch...and with no SR/Spikes up, I have a GREAT chance to survive. Max Attack Jolly Scarfgon with Earthquake Damage Calcs: 74.5% - 88.0% to min/min TTar. GO BABY. Bring this one home! Judgment Day has arrived.

FUCK YEA! Great game dude.
PWNT. Tyranitar, like three others before him, rolls over and dies. Giant Rock/Dark pussy. I suspect a high damage roll, but I later learn that his Scarfgon is Adamant, fuck Scarfrachi/other Scarfgon. How unfortunate. Props to kokoloko for totally counter-teaming me. Just kidding, lol. I congratulate him on beating my leaderboard ass and conserving his Flygon like an OCD environmentalist conserves plastic. After the battle, he passingly mentions a warstory, I've heard that jawn before, and I never expect it to show up, but a couple days later, here it is, and it's pretty damn good. XD
