I was trying to rebuild my team to match Platinum standards. I went on Shoddy for the first time in ages to try this out. This was the third match, but there were many warstory-worthy battles that day. (That means you might be seeing more of these from me...)
My Team:
ACDC's Team will be revealed t the end of the match.
burnpsy's moves will look like this.
ACDCGAMER's moves will look like this.
other text will look like this.
Nicknames will be removed.
Scores will be shown after each KO.
Rules: Ladder Match, Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Evasion Clause, Species Clause, Strict Damage Clause
burnpsy sent out Graphix (lvl 100 Porygonz).
ACDCGAMER sent out Metalcross (lvl 100 Metagross).
Porygonz's Download raised its stats!
Porygonz's special attack was raised.
Porygonz used Dark Pulse.
A critical hit!
Metagross lost 100% of its health.
ACDCGAMER's Metalcross fainted.
(6-5)
I seriously didn't expect an OHKO on Metagross, but that's how it started, this started my opponent on a disadvantage. This also left my opponent to do all the thinking for the moment... He watched as I did a battle later on, a Metagross tricked my Scarf for a Scarf, he said he was going to do that...

ACDCGAMER: whoa shit
ACDCGAMER: XD
burnpsy: LOL
ACDCGAMER: that was ownage right there
ACDCGAMER: especially against a Metagross
burnpsy: especially wioth 3 SpA
ACDCGAMER switched in Assassin (lvl 100 Weavile ?).
Weavile is exerting its pressure!
burnpsy switched in SWAMPERT (lvl 100 Swampert ?).
Weavile used Brick Break.
Swampert lost 18% of its health.
Swampert's leftovers restored its health a little!
Swampert restored 6% of its health.
It was a Weavile, I sent in Swampert, what more can I say? I was surprized by the 18%. I thought it would be higher... Either way, this left a primeopportunity to lay out the rocks.
---
Weavile used Night Slash.
Swampert lost 26% of its health.
Swampert used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around your foe's team!
Swampert's leftovers restored its health a little!
Swampert restored 6% of its health.
Still less than 50% damage on me! -_-
Either way, it was clear that he had absolutely no clue what set I was running, so I decided to leave a bid dent in that Weavile before he could.
---
Weavile used Night Slash.
Swampert lost 27% of its health.
Swampert used Earthquake.
Weavile lost 73% of its health.
Swampert's leftovers restored its health a little!
Swampert restored 6% of its health.
I pretty much knew that Weavile was going to switch out now. Choosing a move at this point was difficult, all I knew about his team here was absolutely nothing. I just went with EarthQuake, figuring I'd do more damage.
---
ACDCGAMER switched in Fleza (lvl 100 Azelf).
Pointed stones dug into Azelf.

Azelf makes ground moves miss with Levitate!
Swampert used Earthquake.
Swampert's attack missed!
Swampert's leftovers restored its health a little!
Swampert restored 6% of its health.
-_- 'nuff said.
This left me with only a few options to switch in, and since Lucario resists Swampert's only weakness, I thought it would be safe...
---
burnpsy switched in Spike (lvl 100 Lucario ?).
Azelf used Psychic. !?!?!?
Lucario lost 69% of its health.
He outpredicts me... At this point, Lucario was too weak to function too well, at least in my opinion, so I just let it faint...
---
Azelf used Psychic.
Lucario lost 31% of its health.
burnpsy's Spike fainted.
(5-5)
Well, that was completely useless... All that told me is that it didn't carry Grass Knot... It also leaves me with only one Pokemon that can get a super effective hit in, since it outspeeds as well, I send that in...
---
burnpsy switched in Graphix (lvl 100 Porygonz).
Porygonz's Download raised its stats!
Porygonz's special attack was raised.
Porygonz used Dark Pulse.
It's super effective!
A critical hit!
Azelf lost 88% of its health.
ACDCGAMER's Fleza fainted.
(5-4)
I fluked that Download but, but it seems useful enough, there's a KO. That just leaves me to hope he sends in something Dark-weak...
---
ACDCGAMER: Is that thing Scarfed?
burnpsy: ...I thought it'd be obvious...
ACDCGAMER: and another crit hack. XD

At this point, he thinks he just lost... Making it feel safe to Dark Pulse again!
---

ACDCGAMER: Wow, I'm pretty much screwed
Porygonz used Dark Pulse.
It's super effective!
Dusknoir lost 36% of its health.
ACDCGAMER's Reaper fainted.
(5-3)
Porygonz was hurt by its burn!
Porygonz lost 12% of its health.
This seems to be falling in my favor, I'm sure I've taken down nearly all of his Dark resists, Weavile was all that was left and it wasn't exaclty in a position to devastate me...
---
ACDCGAMER: yep
ACDCGAMER switched in Assassin (lvl 100 Weavile ?).
Weavile is exerting its pressure!

burnpsy's Graphix fainted.
(4-2)
Nothing can stand a Nuke! Either way, I figured Dark Pulse would put a big enough dent for my slower pokemon to handle it, what I didn't expect was all of the dents it made, so much for my lead...
---
burnpsy: mice nickname!
burnpsy: *nice
ACDCGAMER: thanks
burnpsy switched in SWAMPERT (lvl 100 Swampert ?).
ACDCGAMER: My friend and I actually came up with it
ACDCGAMER: I used Salamence, and he used Garchomp in the battle tower
ACDCGAMER: and we spammed Earthquake a lot, so we called it Super Nuking
Salamence used Outrage.
Swampert lost 53% of its health.
burnpsy's SWAMPERT fainted.
(3-2)

Salamence is confused!
Salamence used Dragon Dance. (Insert swear word here.)
Salamence's attack was raised.
Salamence's speed was raised.
Everything seemed hopeless, I rember thinking I was just going to lose... It seems I underestimated my little flying scorpion! It also only had 2% of its health remaining... I actually thought this was just going to be game...
---
Salamence snapped out of confusion!
Salamence used Outrage.
Salamence went on a rampage!
Gliscor lost 79% of its health.
Gliscor used Aerial Ace.
A critical hit!
Salamence lost 2% of its health.
ACDCGAMER's Super Nuke fainted.
(3-1)
Gliscor's leftovers restored its health a little!
Gliscor restored 6% of its health.
Nobody can serouly expect a scorpion to withstand a giant dragon's attack, Porygon-Z made that possible. This left me cheering, I had no doubt that I'd win as long as their last Pokemon was not Starmie, Suicune or Gyarados... My last Pokemon were Infernape and Vaporeon, Infernape had no chance if it was a Suicune Vaporeon would be able to just turn it into a stallfest and KO itself, They would both just fail. Gyarados had a 33% or so chance of surviving Infernape's ThunderPunch and OHKOing back, Vaporeon barely survives long enough to Haze 2 Dragon Dances before getting KO'd, not a good situation. Starmie just had to use Ice Beam on Gliscor, ThunderBolt on Vaporeon and Surf on Infernape and it would be done. It also outspeeds all but Infernape... Yep, if one of them came out, I'd just be...
---
ACDCGAMER switched in Starman (lvl 100 Starmie). ...screwed...
Pointed stones dug into Starmie.

Starmie used Ice Beam.
It's super effective!
Gliscor lost 27% of its health.
burnpsy's Glider fainted.
(2-1)

Did it have to be a Starmie? Either way, it did the expected knockout, let's move on...
---

Starmie used Thunderbolt.
It's super effective!
Vaporeon lost 67% of its health.

---
Starmie used Thunderbolt.
It's super effective!
Vaporeon lost 33% of its health.
burnpsy's VAPOREON fainted.
(1-1)
Starmie lost 10% of its health.
-_- Another correct prediction... Since Starmie has slichtly more speed than Infernape, I stood no chance...
---
burnpsy: O.o
ACDCGAMER: Uh oh
burnpsy: You win!
ACDCGAMER: This is getting close!
burnpsy switched in INFERNAPE (lvl 100 Infernape ?).

ACDCGAMER: or a 60/40 in your favor
Infernape used Thunderpunch.
It's super effective!
Starmie lost 58% of its health.
ACDCGAMER's Starman fainted.
(1-0)
burnpsy wins!
ACDCGAMER: yep
ACDCGAMER: XD
burnpsy: I'm savin' the log!
ACDCGAMER: gg

ACDCGAMER: gg man
ACDCGAMER: and welcome back
Wait, what, how, when? I didn't expect to outspeed it AND OHKO it...
