Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Mkay Boyd lets finish this stinker with a Payback, yep yep. And if it doesn't kill and you're still alive then use Metal Claw. And somehow after that you're still alive use payback again.
Things are heating up once more in this epic confrontation between Rolf and the fifteen-thousand and twenty-sixth mewtwo - and it's not just because Uberwocky is using Fire Fang! Let's take the time for a quick recap:
Rolf XOO
Ferroseed(*) Boyd (M)
HP: 18 Energy: 33 Status: Could be a roast nut soon. Actions: Payback ~ Metal Claw ~ Payback
mewtwo15026 XOO
Bagon(*) Uberwocky (F) HP: 11 Energy: 69 Status: +1 Atk, +1 Spe. Gyro Ball'd. Actions: Fire Fang ~ Fire Fang ~ Fire Fang/Chill
At a glance it seems that Uberwocky has the upper hand - a single Fire Fang should fell Boyd. However, looking more closely Boyd can also defeat Uberwocky with a single Payback should the latter be paralysed. In this tense moment I am going to invite you to the RNG that I use for calculating whether Uberwocky is fully paralysed.
'1' symbolises full paralysis (25%), any number from 2-4 means that the attack will go ahead. And the answer is...
4!
Uberwocky struck with a final Fire Fang, defeating the surprisingly resilient Boyd (given that he had been targeted by 4x effective attacks throughout.
Uberwocky has gained 1 KO counter!
In the meantime, Uberwocky takes the time to Chill. And then he Chills again, restoring 24% energy in total!
So at the end of that round the scores are:
Rolf XXO
Ferroseed(*) Boyd (M)
HP: KO Energy: 33 Status: Nut feeling very well.
Bagon(*) Uberwocky (F) HP: 6 Energy: 88 Status: 'CAUSE OHHHHHHHHHH, MY POKÉDEX IS ON FIREEEE
Rolf, please send out your final Pokémon and attack!
The newcomer begins the round by doing a funky snake dance - a Dragon Dance to raise his stats. In a final attempt to do as much damage as possible Uberwocky strikes with Facade, which is even more powerful due to its status affliction. However, Uberwocky's success is short lived as Haar used a terrifying Twister!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
the twister went snicker-snack
Haar left it dead and then he dared
to do a Dragon Dance.
Haar has gained 1 KO counter.
So with the slaying of the feared Uberwocky the round concludes - let's check the status of Haar.
So I herd u liek Vladdy teh Mudkipz... Well, here he is!
Vladdy, start by using Bide! Now, I'm not sure how this move works, but if it wears off before the round ends, go for Counter or Mirror Coat, depending on what it uses to attack you!
BIDE~Counter/Mirror Coat~Counter/Mirror Coat
It looks like the match is entering its final stages, with the last two combatants taking the field here at Peanut Swamp island. mewtwo15026 reveals his final Pokémon - Vladdy the Mudkip!
Haar begins the round by using Dragon Dance yet again, obtaining even more stat boosts. However, Vladdy simply forms a white aura around himself - looks like he's using Bide!
Aware of the mudkipzy shenanigans, Haar takes the time to use Thunderwave, paralysing the motionless Vladdy.
The Dratini then squeezes Vladdy tight with a Wrap, which deals decent damage - will the torment ever stop for our lovely blue friend [that we like]? Well it looks like it stops now, as Vladdy releases all of his energy to send Haar flying backwards with Bide.
So with that exciting reversal at the end of the round, here are the results:
Mudkip(*) Vladdy (M) HP: 82 Energy: 86 Status: 25% Paralysed. So fond of reversals that he's almost Russian. In Soviet Russia Mudkip likes YOU
What an exciting start to the match so far! With Vladdy quite gladdy and Haar staring him down with his back to the pond, what could happen next? It's over to Rolf to find out!
Mkay well, I want you to start with an Extremespeed and then get away asap from whatever Mudkip is using (he's paralyzed so he's even slower than usual) and then come back and use Wrap again. Then just chill.
Wait--didn't Haar take any damage from Bide last turn? It doesn't seem to have done anything; Haar's HP was 74 before and after the round...
Vladdy, lead by Countering the Extremespeed; I don't think it'll be able to dodge that! Let it Wrap you, then use Avalanche for massive damage! Then finish the round by chilling!
As the final two Pokémon begin to get warmed up, the whole atmosphere here at Peanut Swamp island is really heating up. Before things get going, let's check the condition of the two combatants!
Mudkip(*) Vladdy (M) HP: 82 Energy: 86 Status: 25% Paralysed. So fond of reversals that he's almost Russian. In Soviet Russia Mudkip likes YOU Actions: Counter ~ Avalanche ~ Chill
Letting Haar take the initiative, Vladdy is a very polite Mudkip, the Dratini begins with a super-fast Extremespeed. Unfortunately for Haar, howevhaar, Vladdy is lying in wait with a Counter which deals twice as much damage as he took! Maybe Vladdy isn't such a polite Mudkip after all.
Annoyed at being both literally and psychologically countered, Haar moves in for the tried-and-true tactic of using Wrap. While Haar is haarking back to the good RBY Wrap Dragonite days, though, Vladdy summons a great Avalanche that inflicts phenomenal damage on Haar - certainly enough for him to loosen his grip and flee.
Following on from that icy barrage, Vladdy takes the time to Chill and restore energy. Already feeling the cold, Haar decides to Chill also.
Haar is certainly feeling the pinch right now, and is finding it tough to break through this conservative play. Will he manage and secure victory for Rolf? Here are the results at the end of this round:
Rolf XXO
Dratini(*) Haar (M) HP: 15 Energy: 45 Status: BRRRRR
Mudkip(*) Vladdy (M) HP: 64 Energy: 68 Status: 15% Paralysed. Playing it safe-ish.
Forgive me for not posting a recap, as this is the last round.
Attempting to go all-out, Haar begins with a fearsome Thunderbolt and, while it deals good damage, all Vladdy needs to do is use a single Mirror Coat, felling that pesky dragon.
