My one loss was against this one Japanese player who got me once but damn, did he get me good with a Focus Sash + Mirror Coat Girafarig. Have any of you faced off against weird/funny stuff like these?
The most strange thing I met that I can remember now was precisely in my last match of the day, although maybe not more than yours. It was a Chesto Berry + Rest Clefable, while its other moves were the common Calm Mind, Minimize and Moonblast. It was defeated by my own Clefable after a long battle, connecting 4 Moonblasts but most importantly after winning the speed tie on the turn my opponent's Clef was gonna wake up and use Rest again. I also faced another one with Magic Guard instead of Unaware, since I poisoned it with Blissey and its HP didn't decrease by that. I also won that one, and once again, with my own Clefable. lol
Finished day 1 with a 9-6 balance. I got two frustrating losses by crits from Donphan's Earthquakes who didn't have items to increase the ratio. At least one of them wasn't even banded and it still did a lot to my Clefable. That 120 base Attack may not be underestimated at maximum spread and nature if it was, I suppose. The most fair ones I suffered I'd say were one with Girafarig against Scarf TTar, even after having defeated a Zapdos which had Signal Beam, and another with Miltank to a Dragonite after my Clefable was taken down, again, thanks to a mot*******ing Donphan. How ironic is that I loved using him in Flash Clash and now it's annoying me. XD
Still, I got good vibes with the team and it was very fun. Miltank managed to tank Entei's Sacred Fire and knock it out on three hits. Our favourite cow is doing good for myself as a mixed wall. Its only problem is to get burned, which actually suffered two or three times, but even then it managed to weaken things like WoW Gengar, Scizor and Machamp, and then allowing a teammate to finish the job. I'm very proud of her, sure some of my rivals relived their hate back from GSC times towards it. lol
As for the other members of the team, Girafarig's Energy Ball proved to be a good answer to Quagsire; Ursaring defeated all by himself a trio of Gengar, Dragonite and Tyranitar; Blissey did her stall job well despite being surprised by Inmunity Snorlax and the aforementioned Magic Guard Clefable; Tauros' hits demolished some things, and Clefable is proving to be the actual best member of the team, even if I didn't use her on one match. No one Scizor was able to defeat her thanks to Flamethrower, and any 'mon trying to setup becomes useless when I switch into her. Seems like she hasn't lost her shine back from the Kanto Classic at all.
Now, the thing I'm more uncomfortable with is the 15 matches per day. I started battling a bit before 8 PM and finished like at 10:10 PM. For a 3v3 scheduled matches competition I think 10 battles per day is enough, like the Little Cup, Battle of Hoenn, Trick-or-Treat Friendly or the Fairy Face-Off competitions. Even the Kanto Classic with all 6 Pokémon didn't seem that long to me, even when I actually only fought in three matches (and I won them all lol). I think it takes a lot of time even if you do something like 8 battles in the morning and then 7 in the night.
Also, I saved 14 of those matches (don't know what happened with the 15th) and I plan to share the replays after hitting 30 saves or so.
