That's the problem. Since I couldn't research DURING the fight, and didn't have the time to research before, I lacked battle experience.
It taunted me, survived a Meteor Mash because of the Focus Sash... and managed to Setup Stealth Rock and also kill another poke of mine. But I had fun, won two (almost three) battles, and was tired as hell.
I'm waiting for you to be back, then. Good luck.
