Firestorm
I did my best, I have no regrets!
EBCubs and I had played a few times before. So we knew each others teams kinda well. We decided to have a battle together! Not very exciting, no. The battle before this one, there was a disconnection. Must have been some kinda issue with one our networks since this battle was a bit laggy too.

EBCubs03
Firestorm sent out Butterfree!
EBCubs03 sent out Zapos!
We both led with the same as we did last time. He's faster than me and knows Substitute, so I can't lead with my normal sleep powder routine. He also knows I'm sashed and that I can't do jack to his substitute, so bye bye!
Zapdos used Substitute!
(Zapdos - 75%)
Butterfree used U-Turn!
It's not very effective...
Butterfree returned to Firestorm.
Firestorm sent out Raichu!
We'd done this before in the last battle. As such, he knew what my next move would be and I was too afraid of a rampaging Zapdos to do anything but my next move. Come on Raichu, do what you do best! Encore!
EBCubs03 withdrew Zapdos.
EBCubs03 sent out Donphan!
Raichu used Encore!
The Encore failed...
It seems he was kind of afraid too. Othewise he'd have sent out Infernape. However, Raichu isn't afraid of Donphan! No siree. Elephants are afraid of mice (according to the cartoons I used to watch anyway), so therefore, Raichu > Donphan.
Raichu used Grass Knot!
It's super effective!
Donphan fainted!
(100% Damage)
(Raichu - 90%)
EBCubs03 sent out Inferape!
6 - 5 Firestorm
Hah! Remember when ground types countered electric types? Good times, good times. Life Orb Raichu so I took 10%. Well, Infernape is here. We both know Close Combat kills it, but he might also U-Turn thinking I'm going to switch. I'm a bit of a suicidal player, so I decide to stay in.
Infernape used U-Turn!
(71% Damage)
Infernape returned to EBCubs03.
EBCubs03 sent out Blissey!
(lol% Damage)
(Raichu - 9% HP)
Hoooolyyyy Shiiiitttt. So yeah. Raichu's defenses are crap. Choice Band U-Turn also hurts. I don't want to kill him completely as it's nice to have a Thunderbolt or sacrifice on hand. I switch to my semi-Blissey counter. After all, what's Blissey gonna do?
Firestorm withdrew Raichu.
Firestorm sent out Umbreon!
EBCubs03 withdrew Blissey.
EBCubs03 sent out Infernape!
Fuck. He's Choice Banded, so I'm dead. I know that much. Switching to any of my sweepers would cripple them even if it isn't very effective. My other tank doesn't resist Close Combat and is Calm. Ugh. Only thing I can do is let Umbreon take the hit or kill off Raichu. Seeing as his Stealth Rocker is dead, I figure I might as well let go of Wish support.
Infernape used Close Combat!
It's super effective!
(100% Damage)
Umbreon fainted!
Firestorm sent out Butterfree.
5 - 5 Tie
That's right my pretty! Stun that bastard! He's locked on Close Combat which is 4x resisted by my wonderfully defensive wall of wet paper! Now nighty-night Infernape's switch.
EBCubs03 withdrew Infernape.
EBCubs03 sent out Jirachi!
Butterfree used Sleep Powder!
Jirachi was put to sleep.
Awww... Jirachi's so cute when he sleeps ^_^ EBCubs knows it's suicide to stay sleeping against my team, so I predict a switch and go for double powder.
EBCubs03 withdrew Jirachi.
EBCubs03 sent out Blissey!
Butterfree used Stun Spore!
Blissey was paralyzed!
At this point I'm a bit screwed. I know he runs a BoltBeam Blissey, so much of my team isn't too safe a switch in. He could be using either Ice Beam or Thunderbolt since Butterfree is weak to both. I figure now's a good time as any to sacrifice.
Butterfree used U-Turn!
(20% Damage)
Butterfree returned to Firestorm.
Firestorm sent out Raichu!
Blissey used Thunderbolt!
(9% Damage)
Raichu fainted!
Firestorm sent out Dragonite!
5 - 4 EBCubs03
Well, Dragonite's in. He can survive one un-STAB'd Ice Beam from most things... Blissey should be nothing, right? Let's Dragon Dance up and go on a rampage with Jirachi asleep!
Dragonite used Dragon Dance!
Blissey used Ice Beam!
It's super effective!
(100% Damage)
Dragonite fainted!
Firestorm sent out Charizard!
5 - 3 EBCubs03
Godammit. It seems he has lots of SpAtk. Lots. Like, max lots. That was unexpected. Milotic, Butterfree, and Charizard left. Well, looks like all I can do is gamble!
Charizard used Substitute!
Blissey is fully paralyzed, it can't move!
(Charizard - 75%)
Yeeesssssss!
Charizard used Belly Drum!
Charizard cuts its HP in half and maximized attack!
Using the Salac Berry, Charizard's speed rose!
Blissey used Thunderbolt!
Critical Hit!
It's super effective!
Charizard's Substitute broke.
Well, gambled and it paid off. Bellyzard is set up and Blissey using leftovers is pretty much at full health I think. Let's see if I can coast through this like our last full battle.
Charizard used Fire Punch!
(100% Damage)
Blissey fainted!
EBCubs03 sent out Gyarados!
Gyarados' Intimidate cuts Charizard's attack!
4 - 3 EBCubs03
After one intimidate, Charizard can no longer OHKO a bulky Gyarados with Fire Punch. I knew his Gyarados was bulky and knew Waterfall would ruin me. So I had to use my other attack. I hate using it, but oh well, here it goes.
EBCubs03 withdrew Gyarados.
EBCubs03 sent out Jirachi!
Charizard flew up high!
Well damn. He knew I had fly and correctly assumed I'd use it. Well, not like I can do much but hope it doesn't wake up!
Charizard used Fly!
It's not very effective...
(50% Damage)
Jirachi is fast asleep...
Ok good. Bye bye Jirachi. This is going to get risky soon.
Charizard used Fire Punch!
It's super effective!
(56% Damage)
Jirachi fainted!
EBCubs03 sent out Gyarados!
Gyarados' Intimidate cuts Charizard's attack!
3 - 3 Tie
+4izard now. As someone who's still scared crapless of Waterfall, I decide to take to the air again.
EBCubs03 withdrew Gyarados.
EBCubs03 sent out Infernape!
Charizard flew up high!
Damn. Well, this doesn't matter too much. He's dead anyway.
Charizard used Fly!
It's super effective!
(100% Damage)
Infernape fainted!
EBCubs03 sent out Gyarados!
Gyarados' Intimidate cuts Charizard's attack!
3 - 2 Firestorm
Well, I'm back in the lead, but this Charizard is now at +3 Attack. Not good. I didn't drum my belly for this! This is also a bad situation to be in. The third fly has a tendancy to screw me over. Either they expect me to Fly again because I did the last two turns or they expect me to Fire Punch since they think that I think that... you get the point. Also, at this point, I had forgotten it was Zapdos that was alive. ProTip: Write down your opponent's Pokemon and when they're dead while you play! That or get a better memory.
EBCubs03 withdrew Gyarados.
EBCubs03 sent out Zapdos.
Charizard flew up high!
+3 Attack Charizard in the air against Zapdos? I guess you know how this'll end. It's too late for me, I made the wrong choice and he got me good.
Charizard used Fly!
It's not very effective...
(40% Damage)
Zapdos used Thunderbolt!
It's super effective!
(25% Damage)
Charizard fainted!
Firestorm set out Milotic!
2 - 2 Tie
Well... At least it's in Ice Beam range. Maybe I can kill it and kill Gyarados in its sleep?
Zapdos used Roost!
(Zapdos - 90%)
Milotic used Ice Beam
(20% Damage)
Oh right. DP. Zapdos got Roost. Riiight. Well, that's not very nice.
Zapdos used Thunderbolt!
(65% Damage)
Milotic used Ice Beam!
(50% Damage)
No freeze. Can't get lucky all the time!
Zapdos used Thunderbolt!
(41% Damage)
Milotic fainted!
Firestorm sent out Butterfree!
2 - 1 EBCubs03
And it's over! I'll just list the rest of the turns with no commentary as I'm dead at this point.
Zapdos used Substitute
Butterfree used Sleep Powder
Zapdos used Thunerbolt!
It's super effective!
Butterfree hung on with its Focus Sash!
(99% Damage)
Butterfree used U-Turn!
Zapdos' substitute took the hit.
Zapdos used Thunderbolt!
(1% Damage)
Butterfree fainted!
2 - 0 EBCubs03
And that's that. Two of his attackers vs my set up Pokemon and wall. It took quite a few team members, but he took down Bellyzard and swept the rest of my team!
Props
- Charizard for keeping me in the game for as long as I was
- Lady Luck for that good 'ol Paralysis (and Butterfree for setting it up I guess)
- Raichu for getting rid of that icky Donphan with his Stealth Rock of doom. I'm also fairly sure it has Roar which would have killed me on my drumming turn.
Slops
- Dragonite (stupid Blissey), Milotic, and Umbreon were fairly useless.
