Backstory: Yesterday I made a UU "stall team" to compete in an 8 man UU tourney. I won the Tourney handily and figured I would try my luck at the UU ladder. Undefeated with a 17-0 record on the UU ladder, I felt confident in my ability to win with the team. However, upon clicking Find Match, I found myself matched up with josh-ua who I actually remember battling in UU before. I looked forward to a battle against a strong UU opponent and got ready for the match.
dont let the longness .. discourage you from reading. This was a pretty fun / strategic battle with a few twists (ie: you think someone is in total control and out of nowhere, the other person is in the drivers seat)

josh-ua sent out Venusaur (lvl 100 Venusaur ?).
kd24 sent out Glaceon (lvl 100 Glaceon ?).
Glaceon vs. Venusaur is the opening match up and gives me mixed feelings. Although Glaceon would OHKO Venusaur with Ice Beam, Sleep Power, Choice Specs Leaf Storm, or Choice Specs Hidden Power Fire hurt Glaceon. And with Venusaur being faster then my Sub Salac Glaceon, I don't exactly feel confident about staying in. However, a Stall Team in UU needs to take risks so I decide to Substitute, bluffing a Choice Scarf and to scout. Who knows, maybe I am facing a slow Venusaur.
Venusaur used Sleep Powder.
Venusaur's attack missed!
Glaceon used Substitute.

Interesting exchange here. Venusaur stays in to combat Glaceon but it's Sleep Powder misses. Glaceon takes this to its advantage and uses Substitute to protect itself from future Sleep Powder. With a Substitute up, I feel fully confident in my ability to Ice Beam. Not much in UU likes switching into a Glaceon, especially one behind a wall.

Glaceon used Ice Beam.
Grumpig lost 36% of its health.

Grumpig comes in and the grin on my face widens and does so appropiately. This Glaceon is carrying Shadow Ball and Grumpig will lose to it quite easily. Grumpig can Psychic which means Glaceon has no need to be worry.
Glaceon used Shadow Ball.

Grumpig restored 6% of its health.
Grumpig breaks the Substitute but its health is so low that it would be impossible for Grumpig to survive another Shadow Ball. However before pressing Shadow Ball, I reflect upon my choices. If I do select Shadow Ball, Grumpig would lose. However, if the opponent carries a Normal-type or switches back to Venusaur, Shadow Ball would do very little damage. I could Ice Beam which might KO Grumpig, would dent a Normal-type, or finish off Venusaur. However, he could switch to a Steel-type that resists Ice and Ghost and since I have Hidden Power Fighting, I don't wish to waste it. I figure the safest option is Substitute, giving me a free chance against any switch in as well as getting me closer to salac activation if grumpig stays in.
josh-ua switched in Clefable (lvl 100 Clefable ?).
Glaceon used Substitute.
Glaceon lost 25% of its health.

Clefable switches in which makes Subbing down a good choice. At least so it looks. After my first Ice Beam, I saw Clefable use Calm Mind, meaning I would not be able to win barring Freeze or a Critical Hit. I am confident that I should be able to get one of them.

Back to square one. With Clefable at +6 Special Attack as well as +6 Special Defense along with 100% HP, things look somewhat bleak. However, Venusaur and Steelix should be able to take down Clefable quite easily. Glaceon has fare me well at this point but I now have to sacrifice Glaceon to bring in Venusaur without any trouble.

With Stealth Rock successfully up for both teams we both make a switch to a defensive Pokemon that would be able to absorb Earthquakes without problem. Cloyster vs. Weezing means I get two free turns of Spikes as long as I am not facing a Life Orb / Specs Weezing with Thunderbolt. However, Stealth Rock is a bitch to my team and I want it out of here as soon as possible.

Not wanting a sleeping pig against my spiking shell, Venusaur comes in. I take the opportunity to Spike again. At the point in time I have Stealth Rock and 2 layers of Spikes up.

Except Leaf Storm comes leaving my physical wall out cold. I am pretty certain this is either Specs or Scarf Venusaur now and not a Sub/Sleep Venusaur. Knowing this, I bring in my Venusaur whos 4x resistance to Leaf Storm gives me a chance to Substitute.

I decide to take a risk now. Altaria is probably running Roost / Earthquake / DD / Outrage meaning Steelix will wall this set. However, if I explode and he switches to Steelix or Weezing to absorb it, I will lose without a doubt. If Altaria is actually carrying Fire Blast then I am definitely done for.

Steelix is in and I decide to make the difficult choice. Instead of Exploding, I will Roar incase he tries to switch. Not only will this disguise my Explosion but it will also deal more damage to Steelix or Weezing with Spikes and Stealth Rock. I also lack a way to kill Steelix right now. I can maybe use Rotom and Nidoqueen but it will prove a challenge. I decide to bring in Venusaur who is out of Sludge Bombs and Leech Seed. Maybe I can think of a plan :/

And it works. Altaria decides to stay in, not aware that an Explosion is coming. If at the point you think that my opponent was stupid for not switching then I might need to recap. If you recall earlier in the battle, Altaria was matched up against my Steelix. Instead of Exploding, I roared in case he decided to switch. Seeing my Roar, my opponent must have been extremely confident that I was running a Toxic / Roar / SR / Earthquake set. Seeing as I was likely to Roar next turn anyway, he took a chance to Earthquake. However, I pulled out Explosion which must have been a surprise to my opponent.

Props:
Everyone on my team actually did something extremely productive (well except Nidoqueen)
Stall on both teams was rather fun to play against
Not much "hax" although there were some crucial misses (just part of the game)
Slops:
Some general boneheaded moves by me
My team being "Altaria" weak
Some of those misses
Can't catch a crit or a long freeze for my life.
dont let the longness .. discourage you from reading. This was a pretty fun / strategic battle with a few twists (ie: you think someone is in total control and out of nowhere, the other person is in the drivers seat)

josh-ua sent out Venusaur (lvl 100 Venusaur ?).
kd24 sent out Glaceon (lvl 100 Glaceon ?).
Glaceon vs. Venusaur is the opening match up and gives me mixed feelings. Although Glaceon would OHKO Venusaur with Ice Beam, Sleep Power, Choice Specs Leaf Storm, or Choice Specs Hidden Power Fire hurt Glaceon. And with Venusaur being faster then my Sub Salac Glaceon, I don't exactly feel confident about staying in. However, a Stall Team in UU needs to take risks so I decide to Substitute, bluffing a Choice Scarf and to scout. Who knows, maybe I am facing a slow Venusaur.

Interesting exchange here. Venusaur stays in to combat Glaceon but it's Sleep Powder misses. Glaceon takes this to its advantage and uses Substitute to protect itself from future Sleep Powder. With a Substitute up, I feel fully confident in my ability to Ice Beam. Not much in UU likes switching into a Glaceon, especially one behind a wall.

Grumpig comes in and the grin on my face widens and does so appropiately. This Glaceon is carrying Shadow Ball and Grumpig will lose to it quite easily. Grumpig can Psychic which means Glaceon has no need to be worry.

Grumpig breaks the Substitute but its health is so low that it would be impossible for Grumpig to survive another Shadow Ball. However before pressing Shadow Ball, I reflect upon my choices. If I do select Shadow Ball, Grumpig would lose. However, if the opponent carries a Normal-type or switches back to Venusaur, Shadow Ball would do very little damage. I could Ice Beam which might KO Grumpig, would dent a Normal-type, or finish off Venusaur. However, he could switch to a Steel-type that resists Ice and Ghost and since I have Hidden Power Fighting, I don't wish to waste it. I figure the safest option is Substitute, giving me a free chance against any switch in as well as getting me closer to salac activation if grumpig stays in.

I decide to take a risk now. Altaria is probably running Roost / Earthquake / DD / Outrage meaning Steelix will wall this set. However, if I explode and he switches to Steelix or Weezing to absorb it, I will lose without a doubt. If Altaria is actually carrying Fire Blast then I am definitely done for.

Steelix is in and I decide to make the difficult choice. Instead of Exploding, I will Roar incase he tries to switch. Not only will this disguise my Explosion but it will also deal more damage to Steelix or Weezing with Spikes and Stealth Rock. I also lack a way to kill Steelix right now. I can maybe use Rotom and Nidoqueen but it will prove a challenge. I decide to bring in Venusaur who is out of Sludge Bombs and Leech Seed. Maybe I can think of a plan :/

3-3 (tie)
Venusaur hits the dust and I bring in Nidoqueen to try and finish the job. Steelix remains my only way to beat Altaria. This match has been a battle of strategy so far and right now I need to hope my opponent keeps in Altaria.

Nidoqueen misses with Fire Blast and Steelix switches out. Not really what I wanted at all... Anyway with a sleeping Weezing in, I bring in Rotom to take it out with Thunderbolt. However my opponent realizes this and brings in Altaria to take the Thunderbolt. After an exchange of Dragon Dances, Will-o-Wisps, Paralysis, Reflects, Roost, Thunderbolts, and switching, I finally feel confident enough to bring in Steelix onto Altaria.

I have one chance. If my opponent switches out to Weezing or Steelix to absorb the Explosion I lose. It literally comes down to this and if my opponent decides to stay in.

And it works. Altaria decides to stay in, not aware that an Explosion is coming. If at the point you think that my opponent was stupid for not switching then I might need to recap. If you recall earlier in the battle, Altaria was matched up against my Steelix. Instead of Exploding, I roared in case he decided to switch. Seeing my Roar, my opponent must have been extremely confident that I was running a Toxic / Roar / SR / Earthquake set. Seeing as I was likely to Roar next turn anyway, he took a chance to Earthquake. However, I pulled out Explosion which must have been a surprise to my opponent.

Weezing dies to Thunderbolt. You can sleep peacefully tonight little Rotom. I close out this strategic and fun match by switching from Rotom to Nidoqueen while my opponent was stopped cold by Reflect and Will-o-Wisp. We say our good games and go our seperate ways.

Props:
Everyone on my team actually did something extremely productive (well except Nidoqueen)
Stall on both teams was rather fun to play against
Not much "hax" although there were some crucial misses (just part of the game)
Slops:
Some general boneheaded moves by me
My team being "Altaria" weak
Some of those misses
Can't catch a crit or a long freeze for my life.
