gg.
the lack of Sp. A boosts with Regice was like bad hax, and the flinch was just the fuckin' cherry on top. if i had gotten the boost against Pory, i would have stayed in on Slash because +1 Ice Beam is a 0HKO. no such luck though, the game went south from there for me.
i also misclicked when i sent in Zard. meant to save him just in case Cacturne survived and took out Lapras. oooooh well.
