This is my first war-story, and after lurking about reading some good and some not-so-good warstories, I decided to write one about a very close battle I had tonight on wifi just to entertain you all. SO here goes:
Rules of this match:
No Ubers.
Sleep Clause
Double Team Clause
OHKO Clause
Species Clause
Hax Item Clause
My Team:
Dadrien Team:
As you can see, my team for this battle is lacking in special power, and before the match, I was worried about getting walled by physical walls and tanks, but I didn't care because I wanted to see the real power of some physical hardhitters.
For the sake of space, I will leave out leftovers recovery.
I also might forget maybe a few turns here or there, since this was on wifi and it's done by memory.
Turn ONE:
I sent out Typhlosion (100%)
Dadrien sent out Weavile (100%)
Ah, a Weaville. A common starter, a common focus sasher too. I decided to go ahead and use scarfplosion's Eruption because I was hoping he wouldn't switch. Then, when weavile had one hp, I'd eruption again for the kill. But alas, it never goes like that..
Turn Two:
Dadrien withdrew Weavile and sent out Snorlax
Typhlosion used Eruption
Snorlax got hit for around 25 % damage (75%)
Ah, wtf. I thought I could hit around 40% because I never saw Snorlax that potent of a special wall. But wait. THICK FAT. doh. Anyway, I saw what's coming.
Turn three:
I withdrew Typhlosion and sent out Heracross
Snorlax used Earthquake.
Heracross took 28 % damage. (72%)
Hehe. I predicted right and expected Earthquake, and thanks to handy bug resist, heracross took barely a scratch..sorta. Snorlax would NOT like a CB'd Close Combat so I knew it would run. Time to chase the Snorlax down.
Turn Four:
Dadrien withdrew Snorlax
Heracross used Pursuit
Snorlax took 35 % damage (40%)
Dadrien sent out Weezing.
Well, whew. Snorlax was weakened, but its not out of the picture yet. Weezing was sent out. Weezing is 3HKO with Stone Edge..if I get a crit. I think Weezing's gonna use a fire move so I ...
Turn Five:
I withdrew Heracross and send out Typhlosion
Weezing used Flamethrower
Typhlosion took 10 % (90%)
Yes. Now Weezing is scared of an Eruption. But I have a little suprise for little Snorlax..
Turn Six:
Typhlosion is tightening its focus
Dadrien withdrew Weezing and sent out Snorlax
Typhlosion used Focus Punch
Snorlax took 40 % and fainted.
Dadrien sent out Garchomp
6-5 Mr101
:)!!! Woot. Got that snorlax out of the picture who could of caused me problems later one. Wasn't expecting mr. chinchilla to slug him in the mouth, I bet. But the battle's not even close to done. Garchomp is eying me for dinner, so I better run since I'm locked into Eruption
Turn Seven:
I withdrew Typhlosion and send out Donphan
Garchomp used Earthquake
Donphan took 22 % (78%)
Garchomp took 10 % away from Life Orb Recoil (90%)
I send out my reliable Dumbo. On hindsight, I guess I should of sent out Gliscor but I wanted to quick kill Garchompy with Ice Shard..and set up some SR while I'm at it. But he was on to my plan..
Turn Eight:
Dadrien withdrew Garchomp and sent out Weezing
Donphan used Stealth Rock.
Just as I spected. Atleast I got a SR out which would prove useful in the match, as well as wearing Weezing down. I was scared of WOW, not only would it cripple me, but it would halve my attack. SO I...
Turn Nine:
I withdrew Donphan and sent out Typhlosion
Weezing used Will O' Wisp; It had no effect on Typhlosion.
Whew. He must of forgot that fire types can't be burned. So now I got a threatening Typhlosion ready to smock that poison ball around. I knew he would run though. This is where I made a BIG mistake. I assumed he was going to bring in Garchomp to eat the Eruption, then fight back with EQ( It probably could of token two Eruptions ), so I used HP Ice. But I guess Dadrien knew what I had or maybe it was by accident but he ...
Turn Ten:
Dadrien withdrew Weezing and sent out Weavile
Weavile took 25 % from Stealth Rock
Typhlosion used HP Ice.
Weavile took 13 % from the attack ( 62 %)
Oh, boo. Now, I'm stuck into an HP ice but I don't want to bring anyone out to eat weavile's choice banded attacks, (donphan was at the hp where he could of been two hit ko'ed), so I decide to sacrifice my Firapina.
Turn Eleven:
Typhlosion used HP Ice.
Weavile took 13 % (49 %)
Weavile used Night Slash and Typhlosion fainted.
5-5 TIE. Well now it's even..I bring out my Donphan now to absorb a hit and kill it with EQ. But..
Turn Twelve:
I sent out Donphan and used EQ.
Dadrien withdrew Weavile and sent out Weezing.
Weezing makes ground moves miss with Levitate.
Oh, well it was worth a try. But I got Weezing right where I wanted it. I didn't know if it was gonna use Flamethrower or Wow. I didn't want to risk Heracross being ko'ed with the flames, so I send in Blissey to take a WOW like a champ.
Turn 13:
I withdrew Donphan and sent out Blissey
Weezing used WOW and burned Blissey ( 84 %)
Blissey lost 12 % of its health ,(leftovers), (94%)
Blissey could heal her burn with aroma or natural cure, and she had softboiled so I wasn't worried. I got greedy though...
Turn 14:
Dadrien withdrew Weezing and sent out Garchomp
Rocks plunge into Garchomp (74 %)
Blissey used Thunder Wave; It didn't effect Garchomp.
Bleh. Just Bleh. I know Donphan could survive an EQ , I wanted to suprise Dadrien with Gliscor so..
Turn 15:
I sent out Donphan
Garchomp used Earthquake
Donphan took 34 % ( 48 %)
Well, he still has a chunk so I'll ice shard it..I know Weezing's gonna come but thats my plan.
Turn 16:
Dadrien withdrew Garchomp and sent out Weezing
Donphan used Ice Shard
Weezing took shit damage ( 80%)
I know WOW is coming, so I'm gonna bring in my Cross to get some guts. Hopefully I'm right..
Turn 17:
I withdrew Donphan and sent out Heracross
Weezing used WOW; Heracross was burned
Heracross took 12 % from burn, (60%)
YES! Guts + CB+ Beast Attack= Own. But I knew I couldn't do 80 % to Weezing with Stone Edge..but maybe with a crit? Please hit.
Turn 18:
Heracross used Stone Edge.
Weezing took 53 % (28%)
Weezing used Flamethrower
Heracross took whatever percent to (30HP)
I survived! Well, doesn't suprise me since weezing must of been 252/252. You know what's next..
Turn 19:
Heracross used Stone Edge
Weezing fainted.
Dadrien sent out Weavile
5-4 Mr101
I decide to sacrifice now.
Turn 20:
His Weavile used Ice Punch (40%)
Heracross fainted.
I sent in Weavile
4-4 Tie.
Turn 21:
I withdrew Weavile and send out Gliscor(100%)
His Weavile used Brick Break (95 %)
I lured his weavile to attack with Brick Break then brought in Gliscor to take Shit damage. Since I know his weavile is CB, he's locked into Brick Break! But I figure he'll switch into Garchomp but I'm not sure. I don't want to send Weavile into a Brick Break. so I just send out Donphan. and sure enough..
Turn 22:
I withdrew Gliscor and send out Donphan
He sends out Garchomp.
Rocks plunge into Garchomp (38%)
Ah >.<;;. Now Garchomps out. I was wrong but hey wait I have ice shard. of course my little stylus didn't think so, and pressed EQ for me. Noooo. :(((. Well Donphan was about to be KO'd anyway so I just let it happen. T.T a lesson well learned.
Turn 23:
Garchomp used Dragon Claw and lost 10 % (28%)
Donphan fainted.
I send in Weavile.
3-4 Dadrien.
Time to revenge kill...!!!
Turn 24:
Weavile used Pursuit
Garchomp lost 35 % and fainted
Dadrien sends out Weavile
I used Pursuit because I didn't want little Garchomp to run away and to weavile who probably wouldn't of been ko'ed. and since i didn't max speed, i didn't want to become victim to any of his attacks. luckily, choce banded pursuit pulls me through.
3-3 Mr101.
Here is another mistake I made..I thought he thought I was going to bring in Gliscor to take an Ice Punch so I kept my Weavile in to eat it..since I didn't think it would be KO'd .. but my poor EvilWeasel ate a little serving of reality :(
Turn 25:
Dadrien's Weavile used Brick Break.
My Weavile fainted.
I send in Gliscor.
2-3 Dadrien
Ahh. Overpredicting the overprediction T.T. Well, atleast Weavile is stuck into Brick Break so I now I can KO with EQ. I'm sure he'll just sacrifice it.
Turn 26:
Weavile used Brick Break on Gliscor (93%)
Gliscor used EQ, Weavile fainted
Dadrien sent in Gengar
Rocks plunge into Gengar (88%)
GAH a gengar! The only poke I didn't want to see! But you'll see soon how i avoided a big stall war. i cant rly do anything but just knock off since blissey doesnt run ice beam and cant hit gar with seismic toss ><. so i..
turn 27:
Gengar used shadow ball on Gliscor
It's a Critical HIT! ( 30%)
Gliscor used Knock Off on Gengar (78%)
Gliscor knocked off Choice Specs
turn 28:
Gengar used Shadow Ball
Gliscor fainted, and I sent out Blissey
1-2 Dadrien
Since it had Choice Specs, I could of switched into Blissey and it couldn't of attacked. But then I realized he had one poke left..which I found out was Magnezone. I would of beat the Magnezone with Toss unless it splosioned, and then I would end up in a big stall war..I took the sportmanlike way out and just fled knowing there was nothing I could do..except struggle my way through over 60PP to use Struggle.
Mr101 Fled.
Damien won 1-2. Good match Damien!!
So, yea. That a pretty close match but there were some obvious slops and pros.
PROS:
Typhlosion for being a badass and punching Snorlax
Heracross for its guts..hehe.
Donphan for walling.
Weavile for killing Garchomp, and also being a badass
..and Stealth Rock =P.
Slops:
Gliscor. Although he ko'ed Weavile, he could of done alot better.
Blissey for not getting much action.
Me for overpredicting overpredictions.
So after this match, I realized some things, and will now spend some time reworking this team. But I do tell you that these CBthreats are some sure hardhitters
I hope you enjoyed this warstory.
