Project Unluckiest Player of the Month (Cycle 26, see Post #535)

Well, let's see if I can go 2 for 2 here in UPOW.

This game was offensive. It offended me. Watch the whole thing. Turn 3 was especially egregious, but every single thing that could go wrong did go wrong, and I only made maybe two plays this entire game that I think were certainly not the best lines available to me. Note that, along with everything I missed, they never missed even one single muddy water.

Bonus facts: Wide guard on peli is a 50/50 roll in this format. That shadow ball from my espathra on enemy espathra was a 25% chance to kill. If it does kill (or I get the double protect), I still have slight winning chances with Aero + Ampha and getting a bit lucky myself.

Looking at the start of this Metronome Battle - Steel Mon Run Tournament replay, it looks like a curbstomp: the Golurk and Gholdengo get statused and heavily damaged, the Golurk goes down, and neither Celesteela nor Magearna go into the yellow. Then....Celesteela uses Memento. It all goes downhill from there. The Gholdengo is slowly losing its last 20% to burn damage, but Magearna can't deal any damage to it at all. When Gholdengo is at 1 HP and Magearna is one turn from winning by default, Magearna finally decides to roll a move that does something: High Jump Kick. Yeah.

Also, yes, it's UPOM now. More fitting.
See you all on Halloween!
