This marks several firsts for me (first post, first war story...). This is only because I felt this battle was worth being shared, otherwise I'd still be a lurker here at Smogon.
To keep the battle from losing anything due to gramtical errors in the comments made during the battle, I've taken the liberty to make edits where I thought necessary.
My team consisted of pokemon I was fond of for various reasons (that I'm sure you don't care to hear about) and I was lucky to find that they had some synergy together. They've shared many battles and have been altered only on a few occasions. They are as fallows in order of placement in the team:
(Forest)--(Drosselmeyer)-(Amero)-(Dorthy)---(Troa)---(SharezoMacabre)
MO...'s team. I knew of them only what they showed me in battle. In order of appearance, they are:
(Swash)----(Gotham)--(Natale)-----(Juice)-----(Forretress)---(Blissey)
I imagine the last two pokemon were there to fill roles rather than a result of farvoritsm as they have no alternate name.
On to the battle In Shoddy fashion
Rules: Evasion Clause, OHKO Clause, Sleep Clause, Species Clause
Mo... sent out Swash (lvl 100 Swampert
).
G_Rett sent out Forest (lvl 100 Torterra).
I suspect the Swampert will either go for the kill with Ice Beam or use stealth rock. If
the former, then I'm covered. I'll choose to set up some Stealth Rocks of my own and see what Mo... does.
Mo... switched in Gotham (lvl 100 Gliscor
).
Torterra(Forest) used Stealth Rock.
Torterra: 100%
Gliscor: 100%
I forgot there was the third option to switch. I can't blame him, as there was a chance Swampert would have been KO'd by Wood Hammer. Guess it didn't have a Rindo Berry. Anyway, Torterra has done his job for now and it's time to get him out of harms way.
G_Rett switched in Troa (lvl 100 Milotic).
Gliscor(Gotham) used Ice Fang.
It's not very effective...
Milotic(Troa) lost 7% of its health.
Troa's leftovers restored its health a little!
Milotic(Troa) restored 6% of its health.
Milotic: 99%
Gliscor: 100%
I'll keep that Ice Fang in mind as I'm sure he's not gonna let Gliscor fall to an Ice Beam, but just in case he stays in...
Mo... switched in Natale (lvl 100 Cresselia).
Pointed stones dug into Natale.
Natale lost 12% of its health.
Milotic(Troa) used Ice Beam.
Cresselia(Natale) lost 11% of its health.
Natale's leftovers restored its health a little!
Troa's leftovers restored its health a little!
Milotic: 100%
Cresselia: 83%
Milotic doesn't have hypnosis, but was Mo... aware that Cresselia could have been put to sleep? I wonder if it's the Sleep Talk variation. In any case, it's best to switch for now to set Cresselia up for a fall.
G_Rett switched in Drosselmeyer (lvl 100 Umbreon).
Cresselia(Natale) used Charge Beam.
Natale's attack missed!
Natale's leftovers restored its health a little!
Umbreon: 100%
Cresselia: 89%
I'm almost certain it doesn't have Calm Mind now, but it could still cause a lot of trouble. Let's see what Mo... does as I use taunt.
Mo... switched in Juice (lvl 100 Heracross).
Pointed stones dug into Juice.
Heracross(Juice) lost 12% of its health.
Umbreon(Drosselmeyer) used Taunt.
Juice fell for the taunt!
Umbreon: 100%
Heracross: 88%
First, I must say "Juice" is a great name. Secondly, time to switch it up again and if I'm lucky, he'll use Close Combat.
G_Rett switched in Sharezo Macabre (lvl 100 Dusknoir).
Sharezo Macabre is exerting its pressure!
Heracross(Juice) used Megahorn.
It's not very effective...
Dusknoir(Sharezo Macabre) lost 27% of its health.
Sharezo Macabre's leftovers restored its health a little!
Dusknoir: 79%
Heracross: 88%
Well, you can't have everything, but this actually gives me more information. The damage inflicted seems too small for it to have a Choice Band and it obviously doesn't have Leftovers, Life Orb, or Burn Orb. Time to use a not-so-often seen fire punch; Heracross have stayed in before.
Mo... switched in Swash (lvl 100 Swampert).
Pointed stones dug into Swash.
Dusknoir(Sharezo Macabre) used Fire Punch.
It's not very effective...
Swampert(Swash) lost 7% of its health.
Swash's leftovers restored its health a little!
Sharezo Macabre's leftovers restored its health a little!
Dusknoir: 85%
Swampert: 93%
Hmm...well I'm gonna need Dusknoir later for Heracross, and this looks like a good opportunity to activate Poison Heal.
G_Rett switched in Amero (lvl 100 Breloom).
Swampert(Swash) used Stealth Rock.
Swash's leftovers restored its health a little!
Amero was badly poisoned!
Breloom: 100%(PSN)
Swampert: 99%
Stealth Rocks aren't favorable, but my team handles them well enough. Time to put something to sleep.
Mo... switched in Juice (lvl 100 Heracross).
Pointed stones dug into Juice.
Breloom(Amero) used Spore.
Heracross(Juice) fell asleep!
Amero's Poison Heal restored health!
Breloom(Amero) restored 13% of its health.
Breloom: 100%(PSN)
Heracross: 76%(SLP)
No doubt Guts has just been activated. The only reason Mo... would switch in heracross would be to absorb Spore and effectively use Sleep Talk. (And yes, you read that right. Breloom restores 13% of its maximum HP with poison heal. I'm not entirely sure why this is, but I think it may have something to do with its max HP being 288 instead of 320.) Breloom doesn't have his defenses up so I must switch to the proper counter.
G_Rett switched in Sharezo Macabre (lvl 100 Dusknoir).
Sharezo Macabre is exerting its pressure!
Pointed stones dug into Sharezo Macabre.
Heracross(Juice) is fast asleep!
Heracross(Juice) used Sleep Talk.
Heracross(Juice) used Sleep Talk.
Heracross(Juice) used Close Combat.
It doesn't affect Sharezo Macabre...
Sharezo Macabre's leftovers restored its health a little!
Dusknoir: 79%
Heracross: 76%(SLP)
Fortunately, it turned out to be a free switch-in and it looks like Sleep Talk chose Sleep Talk for an attack before going with Close Combat. I wonder if Sleep Talk has the potential to crash Shoddy if it never chose another move besides Sleep Talk. AS for Heracross, I want it gone so it's that time again.
Mo... switched in Swash (lvl 100 Swampert).
Pointed stones dug into Swash.
Dusknoir(Sharezo Macabre) used Fire Punch.
It's not very effective...
Swampert(Swash) lost 7% of its health.
Swash's leftovers restored its health a little!
Sharezo Macabre's leftovers restored its health a little!
Dusknoir: 85%
Swampert: 92%
That looked vaguely familiar. Now I really wanna get rid of this Swampert, so I'll try to trap it with Umbreon.
G_Rett switched in Drosselmeyer (lvl 100 Umbreon).
Pointed stones dug into Drosselmeyer.
Swampert(Swash) used Roar.
G_Rett switched in Troa (lvl 100 Milotic).
Pointed stones dug into Troa.
Swash's leftovers restored its health a little!
Troa's leftovers restored its health a little!
Milotic: 94%
Swampert: 98%
I guess trapping it will have to wait. I have a hunch it won't wanna stay in against a Surf but here's hoping.
Milotic(Troa) used Surf.
Swampert(Swash) lost 31% of its health.
Swampert(Swash) used Roar.
G_Rett switched in Sharezo Macabre (lvl 100 Dusknoir).
Sharezo Macabre is exerting its pressure!
Pointed stones dug into Sharezo Macabre.
Swash's leftovers restored its health a little!
Sharezo Macabre's leftovers restored its health a little!
Dusknoir: 79%
Swampert: 73%
He must be trying to figure out who my 6th pokemon is and/or possibly ruin any Foucs Sash holder I might have. If it's simply to rack up passive damage, then I'll play it safe and try and get some HP off Swampert before he uses Roar again.
Mo... switched in Gotham (lvl 100 Gliscor).
Pointed stones dug into Gotham.
Dusknoir(Sharezo Macabre) used Pain Split.
Dusknoir(Sharezo Macabre) restored 13% of its health.
Gliscor(Gotham) lost 11% of its health.
Gotham's leftovers restored its health a little!
Sharezo Macabre's leftovers restored its health a little!
Dusknoir: 98%
Gliscor: 83%
This is a bit unexpected, the darknight makes her second appearance. I haven't the slightest idea of what Gliscor plans to do, but I know that it will probably stay so let's give it an Ice Punch.
Gliscor(Gotham) used Knock Off.
Gotham knocked off foe Sharezo Macabre's Leftovers!
It's super effective!
Dusknoir(Sharezo Macabre) lost 8% of its health.
Dusknoir(Sharezo Macabre) used Ice Punch.
It's super effective!
A critical hit!
Gliscor(Gotham) lost 99% of its health.
Mo...'s Gotham fainted.
G_Rett: ouch
Mo...: lol lucky
Dusknoir: 90%
Gliscor: 0%
Score: 6-5 Lead:G_Rett
I've had the wind knocked out of me before, I imagine Gliscor felt the same way.
Mo... switched in Swash (lvl 100 Swampert).
Pointed stones dug into Swash.
Swampert(Swash) used Hydro Pump.
Dusknoir(Sharezo Macabre) lost 28% of its health.
Dusknoir(Sharezo Macabre) used Ice Punch.
Swampert(Swash) lost 14% of its health.
Swash's leftovers restored its health a little!
Dusknoir: 62%
Swampert: 59%
Already I miss those Leftovers. Let's see if I can run him out of Hydro Pumps.
Swampert(Swash) used Hydro Pump.
Dusknoir(Sharezo Macabre) lost 30% of its health.
Dusknoir(Sharezo Macabre) used Pain Split.
Dusknoir(Sharezo Macabre) restored 25% of its health.
Swampert(Swash) lost 18% of its health.
Swash's leftovers restored its health a little!
Dusknoir: 57%
Swampert: 47%
That's 4 Hydro Pumps down, but Dusknoir is starting to feel the strain and getting Swampert down to Torrent levels is not ideal right now.
G_Rett switched in Troa (lvl 100 Milotic).
Pointed stones dug into Troa.
Swampert(Swash) used Roar.
G_Rett switched in Amero (lvl 100 Breloom).
Pointed stones dug into Amero.
Swash's leftovers restored its health a little!
Amero's Poison Heal restored health!
Breloom: 100%(PSN)
Swampert: 53%
Mo... must have been wise to my plan. Alright, it could either roar again, use an Ice attack, or switch. Seeing as I'm confident in the sturdiness of this Breloom, I'll go with Leech Seed to cover all bases.
Breloom(Amero) used Leech Seed.
Swash was seeded!
Swampert(Swash) used Roar.
G_Rett switched in Forest (lvl 100 Torterra).
Pointed stones dug into Forest.
Swash's leftovers restored its health a little!
Swash's health was sapped by leech seed!
Swampert(Swash) lost 12% of its health.
Forest regained health!
Torterra(Forest) restored 14% of its health.
Torterra: 100%
Swampert: 47%
Thanks to Leech Seed, he won't be able to Roar for much longer and will have to switch or attack. Torterra can finish this if Swampert stays in since he's he's packing a Yache berry to reduce an ice attack's power. If he switches, something else will have to take a hard hit from Wood Hammer.
Mo... switched in Natale (lvl 100 Cresselia).
Pointed stones dug into Natale.
Cresselia(Natale) lost 12% of its health.
Torterra(Forest) used Wood Hammer.

Natale's leftovers restored its health a little!
Torterra: 88%
Cresselia: 53%
Cresselia again, huh? I've been waitting for a good opportunity to switch in Umbreon.
G_Rett switched in Drosselmeyer (lvl 100 Umbreon).
Pointed stones dug into Drosselmeyer.
Cresselia(Natale) used Moonlight.
Cresselia(Natale) restored 50% of its health.
Drosselmeyer's leftovers restored its health a little!
Umbreon: 82%
Cresselia: 100%
Moonlight. This Cresselia has neither Rest nor Sleep Talk, of this I'm sure. I won't have to worry about it outstalling my team now.
Mo... switched in Forretress (lvl 100 Forretress).
Pointed stones dug into Forretress.
Umbreon(Drosselmeyer) used Taunt.
Forretress fell for the taunt!
Forretress's leftovers restored its health a little!
Drosselmeyer's leftovers restored its health a little!
Umbreon: 88%
Forretress: 94%
What have we here? Forretress is unable to lay spikes of any kind, and will most likely spin away the Stealth Rock I've placed. I can now lay my trap.
Umbreon(Drosselmeyer) used Mean Look.
Forretress was trapped!
Forretress used Rapid Spin.
Forretress blew away the spikes!
Umbreon(Drosselmeyer) lost 4% of its health.
Forretress's leftovers restored its health a little!
Drosselmeyer's leftovers restored its health a little!
Umbreon: 90%
Forretress:100%
I've assured its depature from the battle at this point. It's now only a matter which means is used.
Drosselmeyer used Baton Pass.
G_Rett switched in Sharezo Macabre (lvl 100 Dusknoir).
Sharezo Macabre is exerting its pressure!
Pointed stones dug into Sharezo Macabre.
Forretress used Explosion.
It doesn't affect Sharezo Macabre...
Mo...'s Forretress fainted.
Mo...: i didnt press cancel quick enough...
G_Rett: That may have been for the best for you, seeing I was gonna painsplit and then fire punch, but maybe you had something good in mind.
Dusknoir: 45%
Forretress: 0%
Score:6-4 Lead:G_Rett
I sympathize, as I've second-guessed my decisions too after I've made them.
Mo... switched in Swash (lvl 100 Swampert).
Swampert(Swash) used Hydro Pump.

Swampert(Swash) lost 18% of its health.
Swash's leftovers restored its health a little!
Dusknoir: 42%

I was almost certain he was going to roar again. Let's pull a FOX/UPN and make the switch.
G_Rett switched in Troa (lvl 100 Milotic).
Pointed stones dug into Troa.
Swampert(Swash) used Roar.
G_Rett switched in Sharezo Macabre (lvl 100 Dusknoir).
Sharezo Macabre is exerting its pressure!
Pointed stones dug into Sharezo Macabre.
Swash's leftovers restored its health a little!
Dusknoir: 30%
Swampert: 41%
He got me again, and I know better than to try and survive another Hydro Pump considering where Dusknoir's HP is at. He probably knows this too, but there isn't much else I can do .
G_Rett switched in Troa (lvl 100 Milotic).
Pointed stones dug into Troa.
Swampert(Swash) used Roar.
G_Rett switched in Amero (lvl 100 Breloom).
Pointed stones dug into Amero.

Swampert: 46%
I played the odds and it worked out. Now to set the seeds again.
Breloom(Amero) used Leech Seed.
Amero's attack missed!
Swampert(Swash) used Hydro Pump.
It's not very effective...
Breloom(Amero) lost 21% of its health.
Swash's leftovers restored its health a little!
Amero's Poison Heal restored health!
Mo...: no grass moves?
Breloom: 92%(PSN)
Swampert: 52%
I still have two moves on Breloom he doesn't know about, I'd prefer to keep them both secret till they're best used.
Breloom(Amero) used Leech Seed.
Swash was seeded!

G_Rett: I was expecting roar
Mo...: seed bomb would ko me tho
G_Rett: and my luck kept bringing dusknoir back in
Mo...: fair enough
G_Rett: so I figired he could use the hp.
Milotic: 66%
Swampert: 46%
Instead of staying silent on the subject and suggesting that I had no grass attack, I decided to give a bit of insight into my move choice, not the whole story as leech seed also helps against any switchins that aren't grass. In doing so, I kept the presence of a grass attack from being disregarded and, at the same time, not confirming it either. Time to recover some HP for Milotict.
Mo... switched in Natale (lvl 100 Cresselia).
Milotic(Troa) used Recover.
Milotic(Troa) restored 50% of its health.
Milotic: 100%
Cresseli: 100%
The only thing I'm really worried about right now is the current state of Dusknoir and a lack of Stealth Rock on the field; Umbreon can give safe passage to both.
G_Rett switched in Drosselmeyer (lvl 100 Umbreon).
Pointed stones dug into Drosselmeyer.
Cresselia(Natale) used Charge Beam.
Natale's attack missed!
Drosselmeyer's leftovers restored its health a little!
G_Rett: I don't think charge beam has hit for you yet
Umbreon: 84%
Cresselia: 100%
Now to use Taunt to stop Cresselia from doing anything special in the next few turns and to cover that mysterious 6th pokemon that might want to set up on me.
Mo... switched in Juice (lvl 100 Heracross).
Umbreon(Drosselmeyer) used Taunt.
Juice fell for the taunt!
Drosselmeyer's leftovers restored its health a little!
Drosselmeyer restored 6% of its health.
Mo...: omg i cant use sleep talk after taunt
G_Rett: Yep
Umbreon: 90%
Heracross: 76%(SLP)
In his absence, I had forgoten all about Heracross. I've chosen to gamble with Umbreon.
Mo... switched in Natale (lvl 100 Cresselia).
Umbreon(Drosselmeyer) used Mean Look.
Natale was trapped!
Drosselmeyer's leftovers restored its health a little!
Umbreon: 96%
Cresselia: 100%
I was worried Heracross might wake up and KO Umbreon. Cresselia isn't going anywhere, but I still wanna make sure to keep it in check with Taunt.
Cresselia(Natale) used Reflect.
A barrier was formed!
Umbreon(Drosselmeyer) used Taunt.
Natale fell for the taunt!
Drosselmeyer's leftovers restored its health a little!
Umbreon: 100%
Cresselia: 100%
Another of Cresselia's moves revealed. That 4th attack is probably Ice beam to complete the Bolt/Beam combo. Now I face a delema: Wish/pass to Dusknoir or set up Stealth Rock once again with Torterra? Discouraging frequent switching will help more in the long run.
Cresselia(Natale) used Ice Beam.
A critical hit!
Umbreon(Drosselmeyer) lost 19% of its health.
Umbreon(Drosselmeyer) used Baton Pass.

Umbreon: 65%(FRZ)
Cresselia: 100%
Such is the danger of dealing with Ice Beam, but it always comes as blow when it happens. One of three bad things will happen as a result of this: Cresselia will take this opportunity to stat up on me with Charge Beam, Heracross will switch and Duscknoir won't be able to stop him, or the mystery pokeomon will switch in and exploit the situation. It may be the stubborn thing to do, but I'm gonna try to unthaw Umbreon.

Two special attack boosts. I can no longer send in Torterra to phaze out Cresselia while Ice Beam is still available.
I'll have to pull a rabbit out of my hat I've been saving for this sort of thing, but it'll require a bit of set-up.
First, however, Umbreon needs too be freeded.

That should be enough to handle a Megahorn from Heracross while it's asleep, but it look's like Mo... plans on sweeping with this Cresselia. Time to set up that hat trick.

Cresselia might not do enough damage this turn or may decide to recover its HP. I can't stay in this turn, and switching out so suddenly would cause to much suspicion. Playing it off as if I made a mistake was my best option.

For me, it really doesn't get much better than that. I hope you take something from it, be it that giving up mid-battle can be a mistake if there was something that could be done and not immediately noticed (as well as discourteous to your opponent), or that comments in battle can play a part in your strategy in terms of influencing your opponent. I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I had playing it.
Props:
To keep the battle from losing anything due to gramtical errors in the comments made during the battle, I've taken the liberty to make edits where I thought necessary.
My team consisted of pokemon I was fond of for various reasons (that I'm sure you don't care to hear about) and I was lucky to find that they had some synergy together. They've shared many battles and have been altered only on a few occasions. They are as fallows in order of placement in the team:
(Forest)--(Drosselmeyer)-(Amero)-(Dorthy)---(Troa)---(SharezoMacabre)
MO...'s team. I knew of them only what they showed me in battle. In order of appearance, they are:
(Swash)----(Gotham)--(Natale)-----(Juice)-----(Forretress)---(Blissey)
I imagine the last two pokemon were there to fill roles rather than a result of farvoritsm as they have no alternate name.
On to the battle In Shoddy fashion
Rules: Evasion Clause, OHKO Clause, Sleep Clause, Species Clause
Mo... sent out Swash (lvl 100 Swampert
).G_Rett sent out Forest (lvl 100 Torterra

the former, then I'm covered. I'll choose to set up some Stealth Rocks of my own and see what Mo... does.

I forgot there was the third option to switch. I can't blame him, as there was a chance Swampert would have been KO'd by Wood Hammer. Guess it didn't have a Rindo Berry. Anyway, Torterra has done his job for now and it's time to get him out of harms way.

No doubt Guts has just been activated. The only reason Mo... would switch in heracross would be to absorb Spore and effectively use Sleep Talk. (And yes, you read that right. Breloom restores 13% of its maximum HP with poison heal. I'm not entirely sure why this is, but I think it may have something to do with its max HP being 288 instead of 320.) Breloom doesn't have his defenses up so I must switch to the proper counter.

Fortunately, it turned out to be a free switch-in and it looks like Sleep Talk chose Sleep Talk for an attack before going with Close Combat.

Instead of staying silent on the subject and suggesting that I had no grass attack, I decided to give a bit of insight into my move choice, not the whole story as leech seed also helps against any switchins that aren't grass. In doing so, I kept the presence of a grass attack from being disregarded and, at the same time, not confirming it either. Time to recover some HP for Milotict.

Such is the danger of dealing with Ice Beam, but it always comes as blow when it happens. One of three bad things will happen as a result of this: Cresselia will take this opportunity to stat up on me with Charge Beam, Heracross will switch and Duscknoir won't be able to stop him, or the mystery pokeomon will switch in and exploit the situation.

I think I understand now why Mo... was laughing when Torterra fell to Cresselia; it's becuase it was his last Ice Beam. Alright, I knew I would have to deal with Heracross eventually, and this has the trapings of my best-case scenario.

For me, it really doesn't get much better than that. I hope you take something from it, be it that giving up mid-battle can be a mistake if there was something that could be done and not immediately noticed (as well as discourteous to your opponent), or that comments in battle can play a part in your strategy in terms of influencing your opponent. I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I had playing it.
Props:
- Umbreon for stopping Heracross and Forretress, and being an overall team player.
- Breloom handling things atthe end like a champ.
- Mo...'s ability to predict, and his "the show must go on" attitude.
- Cresselia for laying waste to most of my team.
- Kumar for allowing this war story on the boards
- Myself getting out-predicted most of the time.
