Hello all. I believe you should recognize me from Felerial's warstory Down to the Wire! That's right, I'm Eon King.
This battle was a random ladder match, but it was also an intense battle and although not quite as close as my battle with Felerial, it's still an excellent match.

Mamoswine vs. Azelf, eh? Of course, it would be one of the few leads that Mamoswine has problems with. Ice Shard will net a 3HKO, so I go ahead, knowing that there's probably not much else I can do.
Mamoswine used Ice Shard.

He gets the rocks up, and I get to blast him with Ice Shard. Hopefully he Taunts me next turn, I don't want to lose Mamo's sash just yet. Another round of Ice Shard is in order here.

Switching to Jirachi is a smart move, it allows him to have Azelf to put the rocks up again if I spin them away, and it also allows him to save its Explosion for something else. Jirachi is a problem. I don't know its exact set, the Leftovers recovery tells me that its one of five probable sets, so it could be carrying pretty much anything. I'll use Earthquake to scout it, much as I hate to sacrifice Mamo without him doing much of anything, I know he won't be of much use against Jirachi otherwise.
Jirachi used Iron Head.
It's super effective!

Ok, that narrows it down. Iron Head means that it's either a SubParaFlinch annoyer, or it's a Wish Supporter. The ammount of damage that it did points me in the direction of the latter. So, Jirachi proves that it's definitely in the trifecta of the most annoying Pokemon in OU (with Breloom and Machamp) by haxing Mamo. I can already tell that this little fairy is going to be the bane of my existence during this battle.

No surprises there, as Mamo falls without doing a thing. Smartest thing to do here would be to switch in Rotom-H, who resists Iron Head and carries Will-O-Wisp, to threaten Jirachi.

Oh joy, a Celebi. Seeing as it's not carrying Leftovers and it's being used with Wish Jirachi, I'm going to assume that it's the Tinkerbell set for now. I'll stay in and try to hit it with Shadow Ball while it T-Waves me. My Blissey has Heal Bell, so I can easily get rid of it later.

Ok, that didn't work out as I'd hoped. T-Wave more or less proves that it's the Tink set, so I'll switch to Blissey to mop up the incoming Leaf Storm.

Hehe, go blobby pink fatso of doom. Even a hit like that can't do all that much to Blissey. I'll use Heal Bell now and rid Rotom of its paralysis. His Celebi is either going to switch or use Recover/Rest, and I'm betting on the second.

Bingo, as expected, he heals off damage while I get rid of status. I'll use Seismic Toss now, hopefully hitting whatever he switches in for more than 25% damage. No sense in spraying Toxic at something I can't predict.

Oh excellent, a Flygon. Since ScarfGon is the most common variant these days, I assume this one is as well. This is too perfect, I can switch in Skarmory unhindered and get up at least one layer of Spikes.
EDIT: PK Gaming has alerted me to the fact that it's actually holding a Choice Band.

Bittersweet results from this turn. I get up the first layer of Spikes like I wanted, but his Outrage ended this turn, meaning that my setup ends here. I could just throw up another layer of Spikes while waiting for his switch-in, but I'd like to get those Rocks off the field, they'll be cramping Infernape's style later on.

Holy mother of Gamefreak, it's a Jolteon. That is decidedly not good, I don't have a single Pokemon that can revenge it, and my Blissey can't keep taking repeated hits from the thing with the damage it already took from Celebi's Leaf Storm. All I can do for now is switch in and hope that he pivots to something more friendly to my team.
Turn XIII

Oh? Interesting...
What's interesting, you ask? Well, you'll just have to wait until the third last turn of the battle to find out. Don't jump ahead, you'll ruin the surprise!
Anyway, my next move is Wish. Yeah, I have both Wish and Heal Bell on my Blissey. Suck it, breeding restrictions. That'll hopefully heal Blissey enough to take a few more T-Bolts from Jolty.
PI-Dimension switched in Azelf (lvl 100 Azelf).
Blissey used Wish.
Blissey made a wish!

The switch to Azelf confused me somewhat. I thought he'd be using Explosion here, but then I realized that he'd be expecting that and use Taunt, preventing my Rotom-H from spamming Will-O-Wisp if it switched in. So, I hung in and used Seismic Toss. As it turned out, my reasoning was flawed due to one simple factor.
Azelf used Trick.
Azelf obtained Leftovers!
Blissey obtained Choice Scarf!
Blissey used Seismic Toss.

Yep, his Azelf is a TrickScarfer, and I just walked right into his trap. Ugh. At least there are two positives from this. Blissey is now healed, and he has no other option on Azelf other than to use Explosion, meaning that now I can switch in Rotom and watch him die in vain.
Eon King switched in Rotom-h (lvl 100 Rotom-h).
Pointed stones dug into Rotom-h.

Making this decision wasn't an easy one, not by a long shot. I knew that if I wanted to survive battling with his Jolteon, I needed Blissey at full or near full Hp, since it's Scarfed and will now have a hell of a time with healing itself. So, I simply decided to sacrifice Rotom, letting Leaf Storm's backlash phaze Celebi for me.

Haha, it's so refreshing to be doing significant damage to his team. His ScarfGon is now royally screwed, and he's probably going to press the panic button for Earthquake. Skarm, tag in.

Perfect. Now he's wide open for the next turn, in which he'll undoubtedly switch to Jolteon. I have a choice to make: Do I use Spikes, or Roost? I select Roost, it'll allow me to use Skarm later in the game in case he has something like a DD Gyarados or SD Scizor in his last slot.

SkarmBliss, lol. I love how much it frustrates my opponents at times. The bad news is that Blissey got paralyzed, the good news is that Natural Cure will get rid of it when I switch again. Seismic Toss is my next move, lathering on some extra damage.

Oh dear god, it's that damn Jirachi again. I'm almost hoping that is uses Wish here, since Blissey is Paralyzed, it'd be completely at Jirachi's mercy. All I can do is use Seismic Toss and pray to the prediction gods.

Phew, that was tense. I'm walking a tightrope to finish off three of his Pokemon by the time I'm left with only one, for the reason I figured out when Jolteon first attacked Blissey. With Blissey Scarfed, I'm struggling to prevent the loss of its health while using it to block Jolteon as best I can.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure he'll switch to Jolteon and use the Wish to heal it. It's not the best move he could make, but he knows that I'm trying to wall Jolteon for some reason, so he wants to keep it has healthy as possible, which is reasonable. That gives me two more turns to use Seismic Toss before I switch.

Dagnabbit, paralyzed again. Meh, it's not like I can do anything about it, so I'll just use my last turn for another Seismic Toss and then switch to an appropriate counter for his switch-in.

Just as I thought, back to Jirachi. I wouldn't be surprised if he just chose to hit me with Iron Head and let the Leftovers take care of healing, so I have to risk switching. I'll pull Starmie back in and finally get rid of that damn Stealth Rock.

I really don't want Wish healing that thing, so I'll use Hydro Pump to do as much damage as I can. If I can damage it enough, I might take this match more easily than I thought.

Well that worked out beautifully, for him. I seem to have forgotten that I switched Starmie in so I could get rid of Stealth Rock. So, I think I'll blatantly ignore that I'll probably get flinchhaxed to death and go ahead with Rapid Spin.
I don't know why I'm taking such a big risk at this point, but what's life without a little fun, and a few spins of the Russian Roulette?

Perfect. This has ended up almost exactly as I planned it from Turn XIII, which is the turn my opponent's luck ran out. On that turn, when his Jolteon hit my Blissey with Thunderbolt, I figured out how to beat him. His Jolteon is fast, and it even hit Blissey for 25% damage. So, that led me to a single conclusion: His Jolteon is Modest Natured. A Timid LO Jolteon would never be able do 25% damage to a Max Hp Blissey, its damage output caps out at 23.1%, wheras with Modest the max damage output is 25.2%. So why does that matter? Simple, it means that my Timid Expert Belt Starmie with Max Speed outpaces his Modest Jolteon by 2 points. So now, I have an 80% chance to win this with an assured OHKO from Hydro Pump.
PI-Dimension: gg

BOO-YAH, BIZNITCH! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Ok, my bravado aside, I calculate that his Celebi will have 54% health left after the Spikes damage. Worried, I pull a Felerial and do a quick calc of Ice Beam's damage output. 52.1% - 61.9% damage.
... Wait, holy crap, if Ice Beam rolls twoard minimum damage, Celebi's Leaf Storm will make everything I've done thus far worth absolutely nothing! Will RNG save the day?

+Props and Slops+
Props:
PI-Dimension: For having the guts to use some very risky moves and strategies. Also, props for using Modest Jolteon, even though it was your undoing.
Timid Starmie: For being faster than neutral natured Base 130's, the key to winning this match.
The Whole Jolteon Scenario: For happening on Turn 13, giving me an excellent title for this warstory.
Slops:
Mamoswine: For being a tool. He only allowed me to figure out Jirachi's moveset before dying.
Azelf: For blowing up in the face of my Rotom.
Jirachi: For general douchbaggery.
Cheers folks, hopefully you enjoyed this. Until next time!
This battle was a random ladder match, but it was also an intense battle and although not quite as close as my battle with Felerial, it's still an excellent match.

Ok, that narrows it down. Iron Head means that it's either a SubParaFlinch annoyer, or it's a Wish Supporter. The ammount of damage that it did points me in the direction of the latter. So, Jirachi proves that it's definitely in the trifecta of the most annoying Pokemon in OU (with Breloom and Machamp) by haxing Mamo. I can already tell that this little fairy is going to be the bane of my existence during this battle.
Jirachi used Iron Head.
It's super effective!
Mamoswine lost 24% of its health.
Eon King's Mamoswine fainted.
5-6
No surprises there, as Mamo falls without doing a thing. Smartest thing to do here would be to switch in Rotom-H, who resists Iron Head and carries Will-O-Wisp, to threaten Jirachi.
Eon King switched in Rotom-h (lvl 100 Rotom-h).
Pointed stones dug into Rotom-h.
Rotom-h lost 12% of its health.
PI-Dimension switched in Celebi (lvl 100 Celebi).
Rotom-h used Will-o-wisp.
Celebi was burned!
Celebi was hurt by its burn!
Celebi lost 12% of its health.
Rotom-h's leftovers restored its health a little!
Rotom-h restored 6% of its health.
Oh joy, a Celebi. Seeing as it's not carrying Leftovers and it's being used with Wish Jirachi, I'm going to assume that it's the Tinkerbell set for now. I'll stay in and try to hit it with Shadow Ball while it T-Waves me. My Blissey has Heal Bell, so I can easily get rid of it later.
Celebi used Thunder Wave.
Rotom-h is paralysed! It may be unable to move!
Rotom-h is paralysed! It can't move!
Celebi was hurt by its burn!
Celebi lost 12% of its health.
Rotom-h's leftovers restored its health a little!
Rotom-h restored 6% of its health.
Ok, that didn't work out as I'd hoped. T-Wave more or less proves that it's the Tink set, so I'll switch to Blissey to mop up the incoming Leaf Storm.
Eon King switched in Blissey (lvl 100 Blissey ?).
Pointed stones dug into Blissey.
Blissey lost 12% of its health.
Celebi used Leaf Storm.

Celebi's special attack was harshly lowered.
Celebi lost 10% of its health.
Celebi was hurt by its burn!
Celebi lost 12% of its health.
Blissey's leftovers restored its health a little!
Blissey restored 6% of its health.
Hehe, go blobby pink fatso of doom. Even a hit like that can't do all that much to Blissey. I'll use Heal Bell now and rid Rotom of its paralysis. His Celebi is either going to switch or use Recover/Rest, and I'm betting on the second.
Celebi used Recover.
Celebi restored 47% of its health.
Blissey used Heal Bell.
Celebi was hurt by its burn!
Celebi lost 12% of its health.
Blissey's leftovers restored its health a little!
Blissey restored 6% of its health.
Bingo, as expected, he heals off damage while I get rid of status. I'll use Seismic Toss now, hopefully hitting whatever he switches in for more than 25% damage. No sense in spraying Toxic at something I can't predict.
PI-Dimension switched in Flygon (lvl 100 Flygon ?).
Blissey used Seismic Toss.
Flygon lost 33% of its health.
Blissey's leftovers restored its health a little!
Blissey restored 6% of its health.
Oh excellent, a Flygon. Since ScarfGon is the most common variant these days, I assume this one is as well. This is too perfect, I can switch in Skarmory unhindered and get up at least one layer of Spikes.
EDIT: PK Gaming has alerted me to the fact that it's actually holding a Choice Band.
Eon King switched in Skarmory (lvl 100 Skarmory ?).
Pointed stones dug into Skarmory.
Skarmory lost 12% of its health.
Flygon used Outrage.
Flygon went on a rampage!
It's not very effective...
Skarmory lost 22% of its health.
Skarmory's leftovers restored its health a little!
Skarmory restored 6% of its health.
Gotcha. Now, with his Flygon stuck in Outrage for at least another turn, I have the freedom to lay down hazzards as I please.
Flygon used Outrage.
It's not very effective...
Skarmory lost 22% of its health.
Skarmory used Spikes.
Spikes were scattered around the foe's team!
Flygon's rampage ended.
Flygon became confused!
Skarmory's leftovers restored its health a little!
Skarmory restored 6% of its health.
Bittersweet results from this turn. I get up the first layer of Spikes like I wanted, but his Outrage ended this turn, meaning that my setup ends here. I could just throw up another layer of Spikes while waiting for his switch-in, but I'd like to get those Rocks off the field, they'll be cramping Infernape's style later on.
Eon King switched in Starmie (lvl 100 Starmie).
Pointed stones dug into Starmie.
Starmie lost 12% of its health.
PI-Dimension switched in Jolteon (lvl 100 Jolteon ?).
Jolteon was hurt by Spikes!
Jolteon lost 12% of its health.
Holy mother of Gamefreak, it's a Jolteon. That is decidedly not good, I don't have a single Pokemon that can revenge it, and my Blissey can't keep taking repeated hits from the thing with the damage it already took from Celebi's Leaf Storm. All I can do for now is switch in and hope that he pivots to something more friendly to my team.
Turn XIII
Eon King switched in Blissey (lvl 100 Blissey ?).
Pointed stones dug into Blissey.
Blissey lost 12% of its health.
Jolteon used Thunderbolt.
Blissey lost 25% of its health.
Jolteon lost 10% of its health.
Blissey's leftovers restored its health a little!
Blissey restored 6% of its health.
Oh? Interesting...
What's interesting, you ask? Well, you'll just have to wait until the third last turn of the battle to find out. Don't jump ahead, you'll ruin the surprise!
Anyway, my next move is Wish. Yeah, I have both Wish and Heal Bell on my Blissey. Suck it, breeding restrictions. That'll hopefully heal Blissey enough to take a few more T-Bolts from Jolty.
PI-Dimension switched in Azelf (lvl 100 Azelf).
Blissey used Wish.
Blissey made a wish!
Blissey's leftovers restored its health a little!
Blissey restored 6% of its health.
The switch to Azelf confused me somewhat. I thought he'd be using Explosion here, but then I realized that he'd be expecting that and use Taunt, preventing my Rotom-H from spamming Will-O-Wisp if it switched in. So, I hung in and used Seismic Toss. As it turned out, my reasoning was flawed due to one simple factor.
Azelf used Trick.
Azelf obtained Leftovers!
Blissey obtained Choice Scarf!
Blissey used Seismic Toss.
Azelf lost 34% of its health.
The wish came true!
Blissey restored 50% of its health.
Azelf's leftovers restored its health a little!
Azelf restored 6% of its health.
Yep, his Azelf is a TrickScarfer, and I just walked right into his trap. Ugh. At least there are two positives from this. Blissey is now healed, and he has no other option on Azelf other than to use Explosion, meaning that now I can switch in Rotom and watch him die in vain.
Eon King switched in Rotom-h (lvl 100 Rotom-h).
Pointed stones dug into Rotom-h.
Rotom-h lost 12% of its health.
Azelf used Explosion.
It doesn't affect Rotom-h...
PI-Dimension's Azelf fainted.
Rotom-h's leftovers restored its health a little!
Rotom-h restored 6% of its health.
5-5
Exactly as planned. Nothing to do now but sit back, sip a mimosa, and wait for his counterstrike.
PI-Dimension switched in Celebi (lvl 100 Celebi).
Celebi was hurt by Spikes!
Celebi lost 12% of its health.
Celebi used Leaf Storm.
Rotom-h lost 94% of its health.
Eon King's Rotom-h fainted.
Celebi's special attack was harshly lowered.
Celebi lost 10% of its health.
4-5
Making this decision wasn't an easy one, not by a long shot. I knew that if I wanted to survive battling with his Jolteon, I needed Blissey at full or near full Hp, since it's Scarfed and will now have a hell of a time with healing itself. So, I simply decided to sacrifice Rotom, letting Leaf Storm's backlash phaze Celebi for me.
Eon King switched in Infernape (lvl 100 Infernape ?).
Pointed stones dug into Infernape.
Infernape lost 12% of its health.
PI-Dimension switched in Flygon (lvl 100 Flygon ?).
Infernape used Fire Blast.
It's not very effective...
Flygon lost 50% of its health.
Infernape lost 10% of its health.
Haha, it's so refreshing to be doing significant damage to his team. His ScarfGon is now royally screwed, and he's probably going to press the panic button for Earthquake. Skarm, tag in.
Eon King switched in Skarmory (lvl 100 Skarmory ?).
Pointed stones dug into Skarmory.
Skarmory lost 12% of its health.
Flygon used Earthquake.
It doesn't affect Skarmory...
Skarmory's leftovers restored its health a little!
Skarmory restored 6% of its health.
Perfect. Now he's wide open for the next turn, in which he'll undoubtedly switch to Jolteon. I have a choice to make: Do I use Spikes, or Roost? I select Roost, it'll allow me to use Skarm later in the game in case he has something like a DD Gyarados or SD Scizor in his last slot.
PI-Dimension switched in Jolteon (lvl 100 Jolteon ?).
Jolteon was hurt by Spikes!
Jolteon lost 12% of its health.
Skarmory used Roost.
Skarmory restored 50% of its health.
Skarmory's leftovers restored its health a little!
Skarmory restored 0% of its health.
Alright, Skarmory is back at full health and I predicted his Jolteon with perfect accuracy. Blissey, back to you.
Eon King switched in Blissey (lvl 100 Blissey ?).
Pointed stones dug into Blissey.
Blissey lost 12% of its health.
Jolteon used Thunderbolt.
Blissey lost 22% of its health.
Blissey is paralysed! It may be unable to move!
Jolteon lost 10% of its health.
SkarmBliss, lol. I love how much it frustrates my opponents at times. The bad news is that Blissey got paralyzed, the good news is that Natural Cure will get rid of it when I switch again. Seismic Toss is my next move, lathering on some extra damage.
PI-Dimension switched in Jirachi (lvl 100 Jirachi).
Jirachi was hurt by Spikes!
Jirachi lost 12% of its health.
Blissey is paralysed! It can't move!
Jirachi's leftovers restored its health a little!
Jirachi restored 6% of its health.
Oh dear god, it's that damn Jirachi again. I'm almost hoping that is uses Wish here, since Blissey is Paralyzed, it'd be completely at Jirachi's mercy. All I can do is use Seismic Toss and pray to the prediction gods.
Jirachi used Wish.
Jirachi made a wish!
Blissey used Seismic Toss.
Jirachi lost 26% of its health.
Jirachi's leftovers restored its health a little!
Jirachi restored 6% of its health.
Phew, that was tense. I'm walking a tightrope to finish off three of his Pokemon by the time I'm left with only one, for the reason I figured out when Jolteon first attacked Blissey. With Blissey Scarfed, I'm struggling to prevent the loss of its health while using it to block Jolteon as best I can.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure he'll switch to Jolteon and use the Wish to heal it. It's not the best move he could make, but he knows that I'm trying to wall Jolteon for some reason, so he wants to keep it has healthy as possible, which is reasonable. That gives me two more turns to use Seismic Toss before I switch.
PI-Dimension switched in Jolteon (lvl 100 Jolteon ?).
Jolteon was hurt by Spikes!
Jolteon lost 12% of its health.
Blissey is paralysed! It can't move!
The wish came true!
Jolteon restored 50% of its health.
Dagnabbit, paralyzed again. Meh, it's not like I can do anything about it, so I'll just use my last turn for another Seismic Toss and then switch to an appropriate counter for his switch-in.
PI-Dimension switched in Jirachi (lvl 100 Jirachi).
Jirachi was hurt by Spikes!
Jirachi lost 12% of its health.
Blissey used Seismic Toss.
Jirachi lost 26% of its health.
Jirachi's leftovers restored its health a little!
Jirachi restored 6% of its health.
Just as I thought, back to Jirachi. I wouldn't be surprised if he just chose to hit me with Iron Head and let the Leftovers take care of healing, so I have to risk switching. I'll pull Starmie back in and finally get rid of that damn Stealth Rock.
Eon King switched in Starmie (lvl 100 Starmie).
Pointed stones dug into Starmie.
Starmie lost 12% of its health.
Jirachi used Wish.
Jirachi made a wish!
Jirachi's leftovers restored its health a little!
Jirachi restored 6% of its health.
I really don't want Wish healing that thing, so I'll use Hydro Pump to do as much damage as I can. If I can damage it enough, I might take this match more easily than I thought.
Jirachi used Protect.
Jirachi protected itself!
Starmie used Hydro Pump.
Jirachi protected itself!
The wish came true!
Jirachi restored 50% of its health.
Jirachi's leftovers restored its health a little!
Jirachi restored 3% of its health.
Unless it's carrying a non-standard Protect. Great. I guess I'll use Hydro Pump to damage it or whatever he tries to switch into Starmie.
Starmie used Hydro Pump.
Jirachi lost 46% of its health.
Jirachi used Thunder Wave.
Starmie is paralysed! It may be unable to move!
Jirachi's leftovers restored its health a little!
Jirachi restored 6% of its health.
Well that worked out beautifully, for him. I seem to have forgotten that I switched Starmie in so I could get rid of Stealth Rock. So, I think I'll blatantly ignore that I'll probably get flinchhaxed to death and go ahead with Rapid Spin.
I don't know why I'm taking such a big risk at this point, but what's life without a little fun, and a few spins of the Russian Roulette?
Jirachi used Iron Head.
It's not very effective...
Starmie lost 25% of its health.
Starmie used Rapid Spin.
Starmie blew away the pointed stones!

Jirachi lost 1% of its health.
Jirachi's leftovers restored its health a little!
Jirachi restored 6% of its health.
I gambled on that 15% chance and won, and now I feel like I have some leverage. I'll bring in Infernape and Fire Blast his sorry bum into next week, predicting another Wish and pass, this time to Flygon.
Eon King switched in Infernape (lvl 100 Infernape ?).
Jirachi used Wish.
Jirachi made a wish!
Jirachi's leftovers restored its health a little!
Jirachi restored 6% of its health.
Just as planned. If I can kill either Flygon or Jirachi here, I'll gain some momentum and hopefully get a few key moves in. Fire Blast, away!
PI-Dimension switched in Flygon (lvl 100 Flygon ?).
Infernape used Fire Blast.
It's not very effective...
Flygon lost 17% of its health.
PI-Dimension's Flygon fainted.

BOOM! Right in Flygon's face, perfect. Now I feel empowered.

PI-Dimension switched in Hitmontop (lvl 100 Hitmontop ?).
Hitmontop was hurt by Spikes!
Hitmontop lost 12% of its health.
Ooh, nice double-pivot by PI-Dimension, and he reveals his final Poke to be a Hitmontop, probably a Techni-Top. I sense a Close Combat coming, so I'll bring in my full health Skarmory to take the hit.
Eon King switched in Skarmory (lvl 100 Skarmory ?).
Hitmontop used Close Combat.
Skarmory lost 47% of its health.
Hitmontop's defence was lowered.

Skarmory's leftovers restored its health a little!
Skarmory restored 6% of its health.
Now I have a key decision to make here: Do I kill it off with Brave Bird, or try to heal with Roost? I decided to stop playing the cautious route and go for the KO, trying to get some more momentum back. It's time I put my plan into endgame mode.
Hitmontop used Close Combat.
Skarmory lost 46% of its health.

Skarmory lost 13% of its health.
Eon King's Skarmory fainted.
3-3
100%, totally perfect. This is exactly as I'd hoped. A double KO is the best thing that could have happened, now I just need to let Jirachi kill Blissey and lull him into a false sense of security.
Eon King switched in Blissey (lvl 100 Blissey ?).

PI-Dimension's Jirachi fainted.
Infernape lost 10% of its health.

Mwahahahah! Finally got rid of that thorn in my side, and damn, does it feel good. He knew that he couldn't switch into Fire Blast, so he sacrificed Jirachi, knowing he'd be able to revenge Infernape with Jolteon.
PI-Dimension switched in Jolteon (lvl 100 Jolteon ?).
Jolteon was hurt by Spikes!

Eon King's Infernape fainted.
Jolteon lost 10% of its health.
1-2
Perfect. This has ended up almost exactly as I planned it from Turn XIII, which is the turn my opponent's luck ran out. On that turn, when his Jolteon hit my Blissey with Thunderbolt, I figured out how to beat him. His Jolteon is fast, and it even hit Blissey for 25% damage. So, that led me to a single conclusion: His Jolteon is Modest Natured. A Timid LO Jolteon would never be able do 25% damage to a Max Hp Blissey, its damage output caps out at 23.1%, wheras with Modest the max damage output is 25.2%. So why does that matter? Simple, it means that my Timid Expert Belt Starmie with Max Speed outpaces his Modest Jolteon by 2 points. So now, I have an 80% chance to win this with an assured OHKO from Hydro Pump.
PI-Dimension: gg
Eon King: It's not over yet.
Eon King switched in Starmie (lvl 100 Starmie).
Starmie used Hydro Pump.

PI-Dimension's Jolteon fainted.
1-1
BOO-YAH, BIZNITCH! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Ok, my bravado aside, I calculate that his Celebi will have 54% health left after the Spikes damage. Worried, I pull a Felerial and do a quick calc of Ice Beam's damage output. 52.1% - 61.9% damage.
... Wait, holy crap, if Ice Beam rolls twoard minimum damage, Celebi's Leaf Storm will make everything I've done thus far worth absolutely nothing! Will RNG save the day?
PI-Dimension switched in Celebi (lvl 100 Celebi).
Celebi was hurt by Spikes!

PI-Dimension's Team
+Props and Slops+
Props:
PI-Dimension: For having the guts to use some very risky moves and strategies. Also, props for using Modest Jolteon, even though it was your undoing.
Timid Starmie: For being faster than neutral natured Base 130's, the key to winning this match.
The Whole Jolteon Scenario: For happening on Turn 13, giving me an excellent title for this warstory.
Slops:
Mamoswine: For being a tool. He only allowed me to figure out Jirachi's moveset before dying.
Azelf: For blowing up in the face of my Rotom.
Jirachi: For general douchbaggery.
Cheers folks, hopefully you enjoyed this. Until next time!
