This is my first warstory, and I never dreamed it would be an Ubers one. I consider myself a standard player, but Ubers is a real blast to play, and I’m becoming a fan. Yet it’s a sad commentary on the state of Ubers that I played the same guy five times today.
This is the best and final match of our informal series against each other. My opponent won the first match, I won the next two, and he won the fourth game. Read on to see who wins this one in a thrilling tale of greed, hate, and poisoning.
I did not have the opponent’s permission for a warstory, so his name will be omitted out of respect. Yet he is in the top 25 on the leaderboard, so rest assured that he is a competent player, as you will see below.
The teams:
My opponent’s team favors raw damage output, which is evidenced by his use of Deoxys-A as a lead, Choice Specs Kyogre, and its rain-loving buddy Palkia, along with the de-emphasis on Stealth Rock, which is relegated to a support Dialga. There is no Rayquaza or Darkrai, which may make my job a little easier, yet Deo-A and Wobbuffet, combined with Specs Kyogre, make things difficult. The Garchomp is a sub-Salac set. He never used its entire moveset in our matches, but why else would he have Wobbuffet if not to help it set up?
EDIT: Garchomp is scarfed, as I found out.
My team is a fairly standard ForryBliss ubers stall team, although it has a unique scarfed Dialga. Unfortunately, it is a bit more weak to Darkrai than most stall teams, but that can be dealt with by the aforementioned scarfer, and the team makes up for it by having prophylaxis against Rayquaza in the form of Groudon, Latias (who outspeeds it), and Dialga. Forretress is the center of the team with its entry hazards, and Blissey is the defensive front against the awesome elemental power wielded by the ubers. The rest are just there for support.
Leftovers recovery will be omitted for convenience. For me, everyone has leftovers except Latias and Dialga. For my opponent, only Wobbuffet has leftovers. Poison and weather will not be omitted, as they play a substantial role.

A Deoxys-A lead…this is a highly fickle and unpredictable lead, and as such it isn’t fun for stall. However I have a scarfed revenge killer, so as long as I can break the sash, I’m good. My opponent is a conservative predictor, and I know he doesn’t have Shadow Ball (after I lost Forry to an HP Fire in the first game), so Latias can handle anything my opponent throws at me.
My Groudon lead is a support lead, but that doesn’t matter, as Deoxys-A wins anyways. I may not get up Stealth Rock this game, which is a huge blow to my stalling efforts. Regardless, Latias takes the Ice Beam effectively and prepares to Recover-stall out the opponent until it can attack.

Specs Kyogre is a horrible thing to face when your Latias is weakened. But at least Latias was around to take the incoming Water Spout so Blissey can survive it. This is why it is a good thing that no hax occurred on Latias when it was facing Deo-A: if it had been killed, I would have had to lose something else against Blissey, which may have cost me the game.

Though Blissey can’t heal itself, it can still try to stop Kyogre from butchering my team. The leviathan is taking a beating from Toxic Spikes, and it won’t be alive much longer. I need to find some way to get poison damage on it and in the process keep Groudon alive.

You may think this is a poor decision, but it’s not. Now I have two pokemon alive to enable more switch-stalling if necessary. A Rain and Lustrous Orb-boosted Aqua Tail does 61.20% - 72.24% (libelldra) on my Calm Blissey anyways, meaning that at this point I would have been OHKO’d no matter what. Might as well try to take down Palkia. I’m up 4-3.

Rest in piece, my friend. You served the cause admirably. Palkia unfortunately wasn’t badly poisoned because it came into Toxic Spikes after Forretress had only put up one layer, but one layer can still help me. I need Palkia gone so Groudon can beat the rest of his team. Score is tied at 3-3.

Oh no. Outrage means that I’m dead, but he won’t use Outrage (if he has it) because Forretress is still there, can take a non-boosted Outrage and hit back with Payback, and his prized sweeper is badly poisoned. I don’t know Garchomp’s set (it wasn’t fully revealed in our matches), but have you noticed that my opponent hasn’t employed any setup sweepers? His main sweeper has to be Garchomp. Probably some sub-Salac set or whatever.

*This miss ended up being the reason for my win.
My Props:
-Blissey for being a horrifically resilient pink blob
-Forretress for setting up Toxic Spikes
-Myself for knowing the value of Groudon
-No important hax
-Sweep vs. Stall
My Slops:
-Giratina didn’t do anything besides die
-Forry got greedy with trying to get up more Toxic Spikes
-The second layer didn’t really do much anyways
Opponent’s Props:
-Great prediction regarding my Dialga
-Good work trapping my team with the Encore on Blissey
-Lustrous Orb Palkia is a monster
-No important hax
-Sweep vs. Stall
Opponent’s Slops:
-Garchomp’s relatively pathetic damage output
-Dialga wasn’t too useful

Blissey held the line against Kyogre, Dialga, Wobbuffet, and Palkia before it fell. It is definitely better in ubers than it is in standard. And this particular variant can beat a SpecsOgre in single combat, which helps quite a bit.
