Well, here we are. I had written a warstory in the past but it wasn’t well received at all because the battle was mediocre. Here is my second try with a fun team, but the level of mediocrity for the battle has yet to be accurately assessed by myself.
Silly Bulbapedia and their sprite inconsistencies. You get one animated Feraligatr sprite for my team. My opponent (whose name has been censored for their privacy) and his/her team will be slowly revealed through the battle and at the end.

Opponent sent out Abomasnow!
scepticallistic sent out Clefable!
The foe's Abomasnow's Snow Warning whipped up a hailstorm!
vs.
Well I send out my favorite Clefable and my opponent leads with an Abomasnow. It's almost guaranteed that my opponent is running some hail-themed team, which means my Magic Guard Clefable will be invaluable in dismantling that annoyance. The Abomasnow could be a Subseed version or a Scarf Abomasnow, and I make a minor error in getting too overzealous with passing on my status.
Start of turn 1

I could have seen that one coming, but I didn't. Now he knows what my Clefable is up to and he is going to Leech Seed, which means locking him in on an unoffensive move could be beneficial. I cheer him on.

Clefable's health is sapped by leech seed.
Clefable is hurt by its burn!
Thanks to Magic Guard, Hail, Leech Seed, and Burn have absolutely no effect on Clefable (but Abomasnow will be healing still with Leech Seed). Since the opponent is stuck on Leech Seed, I make a switch to my trapper, Dugtrio, in an attempt to take out the abomination while he sucks rather feebly at Dugtrio's puny HP stat. I had thought he would be content staying in with a Substitute protection and have tons of HP gain, but he ran.

Well that is interesting. I hate to admit that I made an egregious error, but thankfully my opponent made a slightly bigger one. His Lucario can't escape, and his best chance of winning is with Extremespeed. I didn't bother running calculations, even though I knew Dugtrio's defense is ridiculously pitiful.
Start of turn 4
Dugtrio used Earthquake!
It's super effective!
The foe's Lucario lost 93% of its health!

Opponent sent out Rotom-F!
vs.
Weeeeeell I got lucky there. I ran some damage calcs after the battle and his Lucario had an awesome chance of KOing Dugtrio with Extremespeed, assuming he was running the standard Swords Dance Lucario. I'm glad that I took out what appeared to be his late game sweeper, however. I get a bit reckless with my triple mole. Rotom-F rears its ugly freezer face and I need to skedaddle because Dugtrio's Sucker Punch and Pursuit aren't the best moves to use against this unpredictable appliance. I go to Clefable, who is usually my favorite pivot because of its versatility, ability to sponge special hits, and status immunity (all invaluable against Rotom).

Clefable is hurt by its burn!
vs.
Well his sneaky Rotom tricked a Scarf onto Clefable and burned himself. Now, I'd like my Flame Orb back so I can terrorize the rest of his team (not to mention I need to get rid of Scarf). Trick is the obvious move.
Start of turn 6
Opponent called Rotom-F back!
Opponent sent out Mamoswine!
Clefable used Trick!
Clefable switched items with the foe's Mamoswine!
Clefable obtained one Life Orb!
The foe's Mamoswine obtained one Choice Scarf!
Hail continues to fall!
Clefable is buffeted by the hail!
Clefable is hurt by its burn!
vs.
Hmm. Too bad Clefable doesn't have any attacking moves to take advantage of the Life Orb boost. Now, Mamoswine can use a Choice Scarf so he exactly isn't crippled. Additionally, I make a stupid move to add to the non-favorable conditions.
Start of turn 7
The foe's Mamoswine used Ice Shard!
Clefable lost 82 HP! (20% of its health)
Clefable used Encore!
The foe's Mamoswine received an encore!
Hail continues to fall!
Clefable is buffeted by the hail!
Clefable is hurt by its burn!
Well that was retarded. I should have used Wish, since the Scarf I just slapped onto the mammoth-pig means I had a guaranteed pseudo-encored. That completely escaped my mind. I'm glad he used Ice Shard, however, since Clefable shrugged that off rather easily. I finally choose Wish since I'm not threatened at all by him anymore.
Start of turn 8
Opponent called Mamoswine back!
Opponent sent out Heatran!
Clefable used Wish!
Hail continues to fall!
The foe's Heatran is buffeted by the hail!
Clefable is buffeted by the hail!
Clefable is hurt by its burn!
vs.
Hello my toilet. Since Clefable is a special sponge, I stay in to take the attack and receive some Wish healing. I don't want to hand him a Life Orb and let it power through my team and I could potentially receive another Scarf. Despite this thought process, I don't opt for a Protect and instead go for Encore (in case he's not Scarfed and I want to make him more predictable ?_?).
Start of turn 9
The foe's Heatran used Earth Power!
Clefable lost 102 HP! (25% of its health)
Clefable's Sp. Def. fell!

Hmmm. He chooses Earth Power, probably to try to get the Special Defense drop. And he did. But now, regardless of other factors, I know he is stuck on Earth Power and I can safely go to my Levitator since Clefable can't really do much else besides irk the opposition.

Mismagius made a substitute!
Hail continues to fall!
The foe's Walrein's Ice Body heals it!
Mismagius is buffeted by the hail!
Mismagius restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
vs.
Well of course this blubberbottom will show up. What hail team is complete without it? I have a Substitute, so I go for a Nasty Plot to get my offenses up. He can either attack my Substitute or get up his own, which really isn't so bad because I can outspeed and destroy it as he destroys mine later.
Start of turn 12
Mismagius used Nasty Plot!
Mismagius's Sp. Att. sharply rose!
The foe's Walrein used Surf!
A critical hit!
Mismagius's substitute faded!
Hail continues to fall!
The foe's Walrein's Ice Body heals it!
Mismagius is buffeted by the hail!
Mismagius restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
He doesn't like my Rhydon-doll visage and blows it away as I hatch a sinister plan. I could go for another Substitute here but I dislike hacking away at my health on my own accord. I also don't think his Walrein can KO Mismagius with one attack. I choose Hidden Power Fighting to hopefully KO or severely dent his Walrein, making his stalling harder.
Start of turn 13
Mismagius used Hidden Power!
It's super effective!

Mismagius restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
Mismagius is hurt by poison!
Well that was new. It turns out Substitute would have been the right choice. No matter, his Walrein is somewhat close to dead. He's going to obviously Protect to get some health back and to whittle away at my mage with residual damage. I don't want to switch since Walrein is a huge threat and I'd like it dead, even if it means sacrificing my Mismagius.
Start of turn 14

Luckily his second Protect fails and I manage to KO one of the biggest threats with Hail. I opt to stay in again because I'm pretty willing to sacrifice my Mismagius now, after being crippled with Toxic and pelted with hail.

Mismagius's health is sapped by leech seed.
Mismagius is hurt by poison!
I just straight out attack since poison and Hail have Mismagius' lifeline ticking down. Interestingly, he uses Leech Seed instead of an offensive move. Now, usually I like to mix up my moves when I have 2 that can attack the opponent about equally in case my opponent predicts and switches, but I get overzealous here with my innate power.
Start of turn 17

scepticallistic sent out Clefable!

Nailing Rotom with a Shadow Ball would have been nice, but Mismagius bites the dust from residual damage. Again, I go to my favorite pivot. I still want my Flame Orb back, so I go for a Trick.

Congratulations, we've managed to accomplish absolutely nothing except a chunk of residual damage on Rotom. I think he's really trying to get a Life Orb to boost his offenses and to shed the Flame Orb, so I sort of mix things up? ._.

Thanks for the Flame Orb, take your Life Orb. I realized that my Clefable is not really affected by his Rotom at all and decide to make him use useless moves to build some more residual damage. His hail is his own undoing. I go for the ever-useful wish.

Interesting. Seeing Flamethrower, I'm starting to think that Heatran is not Scarfed, since that move is a bit weak on a Scarftran. He has little reason to switch since he doesn't know what Heatran can do to Clefable, so I use Encore to lock him in and make his actions so much more predictable.

His newly Scarfed-swine comes in. Mamoswine are almost always physical so I decide to hand him my Flame Orb. I use Trick - even though I get a Choice Scarf, I can throw it away later. I know I can take an Ice Shard comfortably and probably an Earthquake without dying, and I can heal the damage off with my Wish.

Well, that was an eventful turn. He KOs Donphan with Blizzard but perishes to Life Orb. He then sacrifices his Abomasnow to scout my switch-in.

I decide to switch in one of my paired late-game sweepers. I have a Swords Dance Drapion and a Swords Dance Feraligatr to power through opposition. Even though Swine can Earthquake supereffectively, I believe I can survive and attack it. I decide to go to Drapion instead of Feraligatr because I believe my gatr will handle his remaining Heatran better. I didn't know how much EQ will do, so I didn't bother to Swords Dance and get accidentally picked off by hail or Ice Shard, so I just opt to do some damage.

scepticallistic won the battle!
Though the battle was not a magnanimous exercise in deft battling skills, I still thoroughly enjoyed the match (also synonymous with: thoroughly enjoyed winning, and: thoroughly enjoyed antagonizing the opponent team with a pink fairy with a fast hand). I started off somewhat intensely but became lax at the end. Hopefully it was at least somewhat enjoyable and the mistakes weren't too cringe-worthy. I neglected to put in damage percentages since calculating them would involve lots of busy-work math, what with the crazy burn status and hail weather rampaging about. Hopefully my comments helped you understand the conditions.
The opponent's team:
Adieu.
Moo?
Silly Bulbapedia and their sprite inconsistencies. You get one animated Feraligatr sprite for my team. My opponent (whose name has been censored for their privacy) and his/her team will be slowly revealed through the battle and at the end.

Well I send out my favorite Clefable and my opponent leads with an Abomasnow. It's almost guaranteed that my opponent is running some hail-themed team, which means my Magic Guard Clefable will be invaluable in dismantling that annoyance.

Thanks to Magic Guard, Hail, Leech Seed, and Burn have absolutely no effect on Clefable (but Abomasnow will be healing still with Leech Seed). Since the opponent is stuck on Leech Seed, I make a switch to my trapper, Dugtrio, in an attempt to take out the abomination while he sucks rather feebly at Dugtrio's puny HP stat.

I'm glad that I took out what appeared to be his late game sweeper, however. I get a bit reckless with my triple mole. Rotom-F rears its ugly freezer face and I need to skedaddle because Dugtrio's Sucker Punch and Pursuit aren't the best moves to use against this unpredictable appliance. I go to Clefable, who is usually my favorite pivot because of its versatility, ability to sponge special hits, and status immunity (all invaluable against Rotom).

scepticallistic sent out Clefable!
The foe's Rotom-F used Trick!

The foe's Rotom-F is hurt by its burn!
Clefable is hurt by its burn!
Well his sneaky Rotom tricked a Scarf onto Clefable and burned himself. Now, I'd like my Flame Orb back so I can terrorize the rest of his team (not to mention I need to get rid of Scarf). Trick is the obvious move.
Start of turn 6
Opponent called Rotom-F back!
Opponent sent out Mamoswine!
Clefable used Trick!
Clefable switched items with the foe's Mamoswine!
Clefable obtained one Life Orb!

Hail continues to fall!
Clefable is buffeted by the hail!
Clefable is hurt by its burn!
Hmm. Too bad Clefable doesn't have any attacking moves to take advantage of the Life Orb boost. Now, Mamoswine can use a Choice Scarf so he exactly isn't crippled. Additionally, I make a stupid move to add to the non-favorable conditions.
Start of turn 7
The foe's Mamoswine used Ice Shard!
Clefable lost 82 HP! (20% of its health)
Clefable used Encore!
The foe's Mamoswine received an encore!
Hail continues to fall!
Clefable is buffeted by the hail!
Clefable is hurt by its burn!
Well that was retarded. I should have used Wish, since the Scarf I just slapped onto the mammoth-pig means I had a guaranteed pseudo-encored. That completely escaped my mind. I'm glad he used Ice Shard, however, since Clefable shrugged that off rather easily. I finally choose Wish since I'm not threatened at all by him anymore.
Start of turn 8
Opponent called Mamoswine back!
Opponent sent out Heatran!
Clefable used Wish!
Hail continues to fall!
The foe's Heatran is buffeted by the hail!
Clefable is buffeted by the hail!
Clefable is hurt by its burn!
Hello my toilet. Since Clefable is a special sponge, I stay in to take the attack and receive some Wish healing. I don't want to hand him a Life Orb and let it power through my team and I could potentially receive another Scarf. Despite this thought process, I don't opt for a Protect and instead go for Encore (in case he's not Scarfed and I want to make him more predictable ?_?).
Start of turn 9
The foe's Heatran used Earth Power!
Clefable lost 102 HP! (25% of its health)
Clefable's Sp. Def. fell!

Clefable's wish came true!

The foe's Heatran is buffeted by the hail!
Clefable is buffeted by the hail!
Clefable is hurt by its burn!
Hmmm. He chooses Earth Power, probably to try to get the Special Defense drop. And he did. But now, regardless of other factors, I know he is stuck on Earth Power and I can safely go to my Levitator since Clefable can't really do much else besides irk the opposition.
Start of turn 10
scepticallistic called Clefable back!
scepticallistic sent out Mismagius!
The foe's Heatran used Earth Power!
It had no effect!
Hail continues to fall!

Mismagius restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
Moo nothing much to say. He will obviously switch so I go for the Substitute to get some protection.

Mismagius made a substitute!
Hail continues to fall!
The foe's Walrein's Ice Body heals it!
Mismagius is buffeted by the hail!
Mismagius restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
Well of course this blubberbottom will show up. What hail team is complete without it? I have a Substitute, so I go for a Nasty Plot to get my offenses up. He can either attack my Substitute or get up his own, which really isn't so bad because I can outspeed and destroy it as he destroys mine later.
Start of turn 12
Mismagius used Nasty Plot!
Mismagius's Sp. Att. sharply rose!
The foe's Walrein used Surf!
A critical hit!
Mismagius's substitute faded!
Hail continues to fall!
The foe's Walrein's Ice Body heals it!
Mismagius is buffeted by the hail!
Mismagius restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
He doesn't like my Rhydon-doll visage and blows it away as I hatch a sinister plan. I could go for another Substitute here but I dislike hacking away at my health on my own accord. I also don't think his Walrein can KO Mismagius with one attack. I choose Hidden Power Fighting to hopefully KO or severely dent his Walrein, making his stalling harder.
Start of turn 13
Mismagius used Hidden Power!
It's super effective!
The foe's Walrein lost 70% of its health!
The foe's Walrein used Toxic!

Mismagius restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
Mismagius is hurt by poison!
Well that was new. It turns out Substitute would have been the right choice. No matter, his Walrein is somewhat close to dead. He's going to obviously Protect to get some health back and to whittle away at my mage with residual damage. I don't want to switch since Walrein is a huge threat and I'd like it dead, even if it means sacrificing my Mismagius.
Start of turn 14

He's hard pressed to do anything else besides try to Protect again because I can outspeed and KO, which is what I hope to do.

Luckily his second Protect fails and I manage to KO one of the biggest threats with Hail. I opt to stay in again because I'm pretty willing to sacrifice my Mismagius now, after being crippled with Toxic and pelted with hail.
Start of turn 16
Mismagius used Hidden Power!
It's super effective!

Mismagius restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
Mismagius's health is sapped by leech seed.
Mismagius is hurt by poison!
I just straight out attack since poison and Hail have Mismagius' lifeline ticking down. Interestingly, he uses Leech Seed instead of an offensive move. Now, usually I like to mix up my moves when I have 2 that can attack the opponent about equally in case my opponent predicts and switches, but I get overzealous here with my innate power.
Start of turn 17
Opponent called Abomasnow back!
Opponent sent out Rotom-F!

scepticallistic sent out Clefable!
Nailing Rotom with a Shadow Ball would have been nice, but Mismagius bites the dust from residual damage. Again, I go to my favorite pivot. I still want my Flame Orb back, so I go for a Trick.
Start of turn 18

Congratulations, we've managed to accomplish absolutely nothing except a chunk of residual damage on Rotom. I think he's really trying to get a Life Orb to boost his offenses and to shed the Flame Orb, so I sort of mix things up? ._.
Start of turn 19

Thanks for the Flame Orb, take your Life Orb. I realized that my Clefable is not really affected by his Rotom at all and decide to make him use useless moves to build some more residual damage. His hail is his own undoing. I go for the ever-useful wish.
Start of turn 20

Interesting. Seeing Flamethrower, I'm starting to think that Heatran is not Scarfed, since that move is a bit weak on a Scarftran. He has little reason to switch since he doesn't know what Heatran can do to Clefable, so I use Encore to lock him in and make his actions so much more predictable.
Start of turn 22

Clefable is hurt by its burn!
His newly Scarfed-swine comes in. Mamoswine are almost always physical so I decide to hand him my Flame Orb. I use Trick - even though I get a Choice Scarf, I can throw it away later. I know I can take an Ice Shard comfortably and probably an Earthquake without dying, and I can heal the damage off with my Wish.

Well. It would have been nice if he had been locked into Stealth Rock by extension of Scarf, but I like a Burned Mamoswine better. An obvious Trick is coming up to get rid of Clefable's Scarf.

And here we come full circle, back to our lead faceoff. However, Clefable now has the useful Leftovers and his Abomasnow is Scarfed. I use Protect to scout his move, since he'll be locked.

Well that was interesting. He's now locked into Substitute and I finally decide to switch to my Stealth Rocker since his Abomasnow will be killing himself, Substituting without Lefties. Of course, he could switch, but Donphan will be okay.

In comes the fridge. I decide to stay in and use Assurance, since his Rotom is almost dead and Donphan has served his job- he won't be walling my opponent's Heatran very well and the burned Mamoswine is unthreatening to pretty much everyone.
Start of turn 29

Well, that was an eventful turn. He KOs Donphan with Blizzard but perishes to Life Orb. He then sacrifices his Abomasnow to scout my switch-in. I decide to go to Dugtrio since he wont be doing much revenging with only two members left and to apply offensive pressure. I stay in since I don't mind Dugtrio dying.

scepticallistic sent out Drapion!
Pointed stones dug into Drapion!
I decide to switch in one of my paired late-game sweepers. I have a Swords Dance Drapion and a Swords Dance Feraligatr to power through opposition. Even though Swine can Earthquake supereffectively, I believe I can survive and attack it. I decide to go to Drapion instead of Feraligatr because I believe my gatr will handle his remaining Heatran better. I didn't know how much EQ will do, so I didn't bother to Swords Dance and get accidentally picked off by hail or Ice Shard, so I just opt to do some damage.
Start of turn 32
Drapion used Night Slash!

Fun stuff. I survive the Ice Shard but miss my Night Slash, but we both go down to residue. My loverly pink fairy rears its cute head once again. I go for a Trick to finally find out what the Heatran's item is, since my other moves aren't really as necessary now.

Fun stuff.
scepticallistic won the battle!
Though the battle was not a magnanimous exercise in deft battling skills, I still thoroughly enjoyed the match (also synonymous with: thoroughly enjoyed winning, and: thoroughly enjoyed antagonizing the opponent team with a pink fairy with a fast hand). I started off somewhat intensely but became lax at the end. Hopefully it was at least somewhat enjoyable and the mistakes weren't too cringe-worthy. I neglected to put in damage percentages since calculating them would involve lots of busy-work math, what with the crazy burn status and hail weather rampaging about. Hopefully my comments helped you understand the conditions.
The opponent's team:
Adieu.
Moo?
