Well, what can you call a team that isn't stall- but still has no offense?{Warstory}

Well, this is my first Warstory, and really I've had some good battles and such, but this one really showed my team's main weakness...

It's slow- save Skymin, and it doesn't have a lot of offense either.


Firewater's moves will look like this.
popin25's moves will look like this.
other text will look like this.
Leftovers will be removed.
Nicknames will be removed.
Sandstorm/hail damage 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

Firewater sent out Metagross (lvl 100 Metagross).
popin25 sent out Machamp (lvl 100 Machamp ?).
Machamp used Dynamicpunch.
Metagross lost 45% of its health.
Metagross became confused!
Metagross is confused!
It hurt itself in its confusion!
Metagross lost 10% of its health.

I figured that to help out a bit I'll just get a reflect off or something.... but Confusion doesn't help at all. So I'll just switch to my Fight resist

Firewater switched in Rotom-w (lvl 100 Rotom-w).
Machamp used Dynamicpunch.
It doesn't affect Rotom-w...
Ok, I figured that the Machamp was either Scarfed or Banded, so I decide to Trick it- a Choice Specs really isn't going to help him or whatever else he switches in... unless it was Special based or something. Besides, Choice Specs Rotom really does a lot of damage in the first place, but I figure that either way Trick will be better rather than attacking.

popin25 switched in Zapdos (lvl 100 Zapdos).
Zapdos is exerting its pressure!
Rotom-w used Trick.
Rotom-w obtained Leftovers!
Zapdos obtained Choice Specs!
... this is terrible, I really need to watch what I say- I mean that wasn't anything I wanted to happen- hopefully, something good would happen.

Zapdos used Light Screen.
A barrier was formed!
Rotom-w used Discharge.
Zapdos lost 14% of its health.
Zapdos is paralysed! It may be unable to move!
Well, this works a bit- I'm going to guess that he has no Hidden Power or Heat Wave, but either way he's going to switch- so I'll just Shadow Ball to be safe. But the reason I used Discharge was to get some paralysis, either on Zapdos or his switch in.

popin25 switched in Gengar (lvl 100 Gengar ?).
Rotom-w used Shadow Ball.
It's super effective!
Gengar lost 59% of its health.
Works, now either way, Rotom's the best chance for sleeping fodder now- but even without Choice Specs, and with a Light Screen I'm more surprised than anything- even with that I didn't expect to do that much damage. Either way, if Hypnosis misses, Gengar dies

Gengar used Hypnosis.
Rotom-w fell asleep!
Rotom-w is fast asleep!
In retrospect, I really should have Discharged earlier, if I'd gotten the paralysis, it would have helped- either way I need to switch- Rotom may be useful later.

Firewater switched in Metagross (lvl 100 Metagross).
Gengar used Shadow Ball.
Metagross lost 39% of its health.
Metagross wasn't helping, and I was hoping to scare him out and KO with Pursuit... but

Gengar used Shadow Ball.
Metagross lost 18% of its health.
Firewater's Metagross fainted.

(5-6)

no dice- well, I'm one down- and I've at least worn off the Light Screen and Gengar can't put me to sleep now.
Gengar's light screen wore off!

Firewater switched in Shaymin-s (lvl 100 Shaymin-s).
popin25 switched in Zapdos (lvl 100 Zapdos).
Zapdos is exerting its pressure!
Shaymin-s used Air Slash.
It's not very effective...
Zapdos lost 14% of its health.
let Shaymin roll- anyway, I'm testing something different than my more defensive one, but I was hoping that I could KO Gengar

Firewater switched in Blissey (lvl 100 Blissey ?).
Zapdos used Heat Wave.
Blissey lost 14% of its health.
Blissey was burned!
Blissey was hurt by its burn!
Blissey lost 12% of its health.
Nope, I got Skymin out of there, and only to have my Blissey get Burned, causing Heat Wave to do a lot more than it needed to. But Blissey should survive and do its job-

Blissey used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around your foe's team!
Zapdos used Heat Wave.
Blissey lost 16% of its health.
Blissey was hurt by its burn!
Blissey lost 12% of its health.

It's super effective!
Zapdos lost 29% of its health.
Zapdos used Heat Wave.
Blissey lost 15% of its health.
Blissey was hurt by its burn!
Blissey lost 12% of its health.
Ok, I really crippled Blissey by keeping it in, so I really need to get it out of here, to at least get rid of that burn.

Firewater switched in Hariyama (lvl 100 Hariyama ?).
popin25 switched in Machamp (lvl 100 Machamp ?).
Pointed stones dug into Machamp.
Machamp lost 6% of its health.
Dang it. I just changed from the Knock Off/Whirlwind Hariyama to the Bulk Up kind. However, It really wasn't helping much anyway- I'd been hoping to boost a bit on the Heat Waving Zapdos, or at least get 1 Bulk Up off.

Machamp used Dynamicpunch.
Hariyama lost 42% of its health.
Hariyama became confused!
Hariyama is confused!
Hariyama used Brick Break.
Machamp lost 37% of its health.
No Time to Bulk Up, but instead to attack. I use Brick Break because it generally has the best things for my options. Vital Throw and Force Palm have lower Power and PP, and Cross Chop has lower PP and Accuracy, so I was hoping that I could do a bit more... but nope.

Machamp used Dynamicpunch.
Hariyama lost 44% of its health.
Hariyama is confused!
Hariyama used Bulk Up.
Hariyama's attack was raised.
Hariyama's defence was raised.
Hoped that a Bulk Up could give him a chance.... but I really think that it wasn't going to help- I should have switched back to the sleeping Rotom

Machamp used Dynamicpunch.
Hariyama lost 26% of its health.
Firewater's Hariyama fainted.
yeah, I'm just going to let Hariyama die- it's too slow/crippled to do anything else...

(4-6)

Firewater switched in Rotom-w (lvl 100 Rotom-w).
Rotom-w is fast asleep!
Machamp used Stone Edge.
Rotom-w lost 42% of its health.
This is where I found that it wasn't Choiced. And then all I could do is hope that Rotom could wake up before it died....

Rotom-w is fast asleep!
Machamp used Stone Edge.
Rotom-w lost 42% of its health.


Rotom-w woke up!

...well, it's crippled enough for Gyarados to do something.
Firewater switched in Gyarados (lvl 100 Gyarados ?).

Gyarados used Waterfall.
Machamp lost 12% of its health.

could have Dragon Danced, but by now I wasn't trying to have Machamp finish him off as well.

popin25 switched in Gengar (lvl 100 Gengar ?).

Blissey lost 13% of its health.
get Gyarados out ASAP

Gengar used Hypnosis.
Blissey fell asleep!
Blissey is fast asleep!
ok, I had to decide now- Either way, I had Skymin and Gyarados left, and neither of them likes Thunderbolt at all. but I figure that Gyarados was better to sacrifice.

Firewater switched in Gyarados (lvl 100 Gyarados ?).
Gyarados's intimidate cut Gengar's attack!
popin25 switched in Lucario (lvl 100 Lucario ?).
Pointed stones dug into Lucario.

Lucario used Stone Edge.
It's super effective!
Gyarados lost 64% of its health.
Gyarados used Dragon Dance.
Gyarados's attack was raised.
Gyarados's speed was raised.
I felt good that Gyara survived the Stone Edge.... but if he didn't outrun him....

Lucario used Stone Edge.
dang it....

Lucario's attack missed!
works

Gyarados used Waterfall.
Lucario lost 83% of its health.
Ok, I'm in the clear if this works, if he misses again I should be ok.

Lucario used Stone Edge.
It's super effective!
Gyarados lost 48% of its health.
Firewater's Gyarados fainted.

(2-5)

well... this isn't going so well at all- I'm nearly about done- luckily my opponet didn't toss any Stealth Rock yet.

Firewater switched in Blissey (lvl 100 Blissey ?).

ok- I needed to cripple Heatran, as I couldn't allow Skymin to die yet- but I needed to switch it out, and thusly I sacrifice Blissey.

Heatran used Fire Blast.
Blissey lost 17% of its health.
Firewater's Blissey fainted.

ok, this actually won the battle here- If Heatran doesn't flinch- game over

It's not very effective...

Heatran flinched!
ok, one more

yep
popin25 switched in Vaporeon (lvl 100 Vaporeon ?).
... wow. If it has Ice Beam, that's game right there. If it doesn't I win. Either way, it really makes me wish that I didn't run Choice Scarf... but i'd have lost if I didn't have the Scarf. Oh well.

...8 Turns later...



Vaporeon used Protect.
Vaporeon protected itself!
Shaymin-s used Air Slash.
Vaporeon protected itself!
The wish came true!

Ticked me off, and I was getting concerned- if he kept on getting these protects off I'd die to struggle...


Shaymin-s used Air Slash.
Vaporeon lost 29% of its health.
popin25's Vaporeon fainted.
but 2 turns of splitting Flinches and Protects later, and I won... barely

(1-0)

Firewater wins!


Teams:
Me (Firewater)
Rotom-W, Blissey, Metagross, Hariyama, Gyarados, Skymin

Popin25
Vaporeon, Gengar, Lucario, Zapdos, Heatran, Machamp.


Props
Skymin- gave me the only way I could have won in the first place

Machamp- he really screwed me up for a while, made Hariyama and Metagross look useless

Rotom-W- well, Trick + Discharge really messed up Zapdos, gave me a chance to finish off Machamp.

Vaporeon- got me down to 5 Air Slashes before it died, 5 more turns and i wold have lost.

Zapdos- crippled Blissey enough to make it useless...

Slops
Metagross/Hariyama- sure it was my fault, but especially for Metagross all they did was really die, and barely hurt Machamp

Vaporeon- if it had Ice Beam, it would have KO'ed me real quick

Blissey- All it did was Stealth Rock, but yet again it was my fault for letting it get smacked silly.

Zapdos- it did little to aid in anything even with the Choice Specs

Pokemonelite has the sprites, but if want really cool looking pics, Arkeis and Pokesho have good ones.
 
Unfortunate though it is to say your comments never made me get "in" to the battle, I didn't really feel compelled to support either side I never reallyenjoyed the comments and they were short and lacking and there was a lot of hax on either side that made this warstory a little boring. Also the battle was none too special.

If you want examples of slightly more accomplished warstories feel free to browse the achives to have a look, they might give you a good idea of what makes warstories "excellent." Good Luck in any future endeavors ;)
 
the comments were rather short and nothing really interesting going on except for that incredible critflinchhax on heatran.

I fought that team if Popin too, his vaporeon was such a pita. after I discovered it had no attacking moves it was already too late.
