Considering that his team was just Pikachu and Tauros, I wouldn't hold my breath. lol

So uh, the big question is, who won the battle?
The Attack decrease is due to Growl and the accuracy decrease is due to Sand Attack.
Clefable passed to a Musharna, which Ditto later copied and defeated with a critical Stored Power. Clefable tried boosting again, but thanks to Shell Smash it was just frail enough for Dragonite to KO with a critcal flinching Waterfall. The final battle ended up being Blastoise vs. Ditto (as Blastoise); the Ditto won through a critical Dragon Pulse around turn 110.
Tooth got 500 yen thanks to Pay Day, though.
"Turn 2
Gengar used Substitute!
Gengar put in a substitute!
Gengar lost 24.8% of its health!
The opposing Donphan used Giga Impact!
It doesn't affect Gengar..."

He saw the best Mega Heracross set there is?
I'm not sure which one is sillier: tha fact that he used Giga Impact on Gengar, or the Giga Impact itself.
I Don't Believe This Thing Exists Episode 2!
I decided to change the reporter team a little bit by adding some Friskmons and Protect!
It now consists of Covet-Metronome Mew/Metronome Blissey/Roar-Metronome Granbull/Whirlwind-Metronome Snorlax/Frisk Wigglytuff/Frisk Dusknoir.
Our story so far:
TL;DR: I won't spoil.... all I can say is Dunning-Kruger Effect.
More to come! Note: The last episode will be when I meet Energy Ball Jellicent.

Our story so far:
- Togekiss used Aura Sphere on Mew!
- Stayed in on the last turn of Perish Song. No, I don't use Shadow Tag.
- The same team used Bulk Up Talonflame. Someone hates to see his birdie die, or he doesn't know SD exists.

Wigglytuff. Also, using Rock Tomb with Mega Kangaskhan...on a Scizor that has been spamming Bullet Punch. Also, I thought 1900 would be high enough to not meet people running special moves on Mega Kangashkhan, but I guess not, derp who put Fire Blast on it. Oh, the Fire Blast guy was at 1680 somehow.

I saw a Wigglytuff today as well. The same guy also had a Water Absorb Politoed.
I used Wigglytuff for my Frisk Scout, to identify enemy team's items! read my post above.

Why use Wigglytiff when Furret is around? Much better & faster.
So it's good for intentionally laddering down, what else?
Also, using Shadow Sneak on Mega Kangaskhan.
I want to ladder down, so I used the worst Pokemon possible while maintaining the ability to scout opponent's stupid held items.
Might I ask how much damage it did?
I once saw an opposing M-Khan use PuP before it mega evolved. Yeah, it kinda makes sense for ghosts because Scrappy, but I have no ghosts on my team.
Speaking of which, I've also seen multiple attempts to use Ghost type attacks on my own M-Khan. And not by switching in.
Mystic Fire, WoW, Weakness policy delphox. Almost got swept.
The problem is it's simply not bulky enough to survive several attacks, because I want to see their attacks as well. I think I don't explain it enough, though, my bad.
A whopping 30% to my min def Deoxys-S. Needless to say, it didn't really help my opponent's cause at all. At least it wasn't scarfed.
Also, speaking of uneccessarily fast Pokemon, I saw a scarf Tornadus-T. lolwut?

Saw hidden power grass over Giga Drain on Yanmega playing B/W2 the other day. Was freaking hilarious.
The funny part is if the opponent DDed with Dragonite to begin with instead of waiting until Turn 80, he would have taken down at least half of the Shadow Taggers despite Flash.
He still won eventually but still...
