So I had 2 weeks to prepare this team, wanted to win but I guess I knew it wouldnt happen :P
This is how my day went:
I woke up early(at 5am) but and left home at 7 or 8am(I honestly cant remember). I got to the NEC at around 10:30 and was one of the first in the queue.
I saw a few people I knew were from Smogon further behind in the queue, but I couldnt be pissed going over.
This was my team
|
Smeargle(Own Tempo)@Focus Sash
Jolly-31/31/31/x/31/31
244 HP / 4 Def / 4 SpD / 248 Spe
-Dark Void
-Detect
-Follow Me
-Super Fang
248 Speed to underspeed max speed Smeargles after Trick Room, but still outspeeds Abomsnow(my only way of stopping Mewtwo + Abomasnow leads). No Fake Out, becuase every predicts it and target Smeargle. IF I WANTED FAKE OUT ID USE INFERNAPE OR WEAVILE. Super Fang help Dialga kill stuffs. Follow Me against Kyogre + Hitmontop leads.
Dialga@Lum Berry

252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
-Dragon Pulse
-Flamethrower

Standard Trick Room set up.
Abomsnow@Expert Belt
Quiet-31/31/31/31/31/0
252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpA
-Ice Shard
-Blizzard
-Grass Knot

Trick Room sweeper. Grass Knot can OHKO Scarfogres.
Mewtwo@Life Orb
Naive-30/31/31/31/31/31
4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
-Blizzard
-Thunder

Fast sweeper once Trick Room is gone. NO ONE expects Selfdestruct on Mewtwo.
Koffing@Iron Ball

-Pain Split
-Curse
-Spite
-Grudge
Yes this was to take this piss
After a long journey on a few trains I arrived at the NEC.
I had to wait in the queue for 2 hours. But I was one of the first 10 in the queue so I RNGd something while waiting :P.
Round 1
I come up against some guy - he cant be more than 14. I say good luck, then we battle.
He sends out Aerodactyl and sets up Stealth Rock.
I forget the rest.
2-0
Round 2
Next guy, he looks a bit older.
Out comes Zapdos + Electivire.
I get worried about Earthquake, then remember Electivire is crap.
I set up TR.
2-0
Round 3
From the moment I saw this guy and his friends, I knew he was a dick.
He sends out Jolteon + Togekiss
Smeargle Detects, Jolteon fails to Thunder Wave it. Togekiss uses Aura spher on Dialga(~45%), Dialga sets up Trick Room.
Smeargle uses Dark Void, both fall asleep. Dialga Dragon Pulses Jolteon(~70%).
He starts complaining that Ive violated the sleep clause. He gets the judges, they say play on :P.
I forget the rest from there, but I think he had a Metagross and Kyogre.
Mewtwo and Abomsnow clean up, 2-0.
Round 4 vs. Osirus182
So I had got through to the second set of battles, and was quite happy with my performance. Of course I wanted to go further :P
I go to the table and am facing a guy around 20ish. I say good luck, he says good luck. He sees my trainer name. He says something like "You're 7014gree?" I say yeah, he says something like he didnt want to battle me(correct me if Im wrong)
I thought facing a Kyogre + Hitmontop lead was the worst possible outcome. It turns out Kyogre + Infernape is a lot worse.
Smeargle uses Follow Me, Infernape Fakes Out, Kyogre uses Water Spout(more than 50% to Dialga, Smeargle dies), Dialga sets up Trick Room.
Now this was the turning point in the match.
Out comes Abomasnow. I use Grass Knot on Kyogre for the OHKO, he switches Dialga in its place -__-. Dialga uses Dragon Pulse on Infernape, Focus Sash saves it. I thought Infernape would use Mach Punch, I completely forgot about Heat Wave. Dialga + Abomasnow are dead, Infernape dies from Hail damage. He switches in Abomasnow, I switch in my last Pokemon, Mewtwo -__-.
Trick Room is still up, Mewtwo dies from Dragon Pulse + Blizzard before it can move. I lose 3-0.
If Id predicted anything on the second turn, it could have been a completely different outcome, but he still won in the end, he was the more experienced player and he ended up losing in the third round and I hope he gets far in Hawaii. He beat some Belgian guy who I didnt like, so I dont hate him :P. I think he recorded the video, but I wouldnt be surprised if he deleted it :P. GG Osirus.
Although I only got to the top 32, it was a great experience and it was a fun day out.
