Heracross lost 20% of its health.
Heracross used Close Combat.
It doesn't affect Spook...

It was this, or WOW any anticipated switch in.. this early, I’m not risking a Heatran switch in.. But for w/e reason, he stays in, and CC’s again. Possibly predicting that I’d predict a switch?

Near_NateRiver switched in Skarmory (lvl 100 Skarmory ?).
Spook used Shadow Sneak.
It's not very effective...
Skarmory lost 4% of its health.

Hmm, physical wall vs physical wall.. I’ll stick it out.

Spook used Will-o-wisp.

Happy Chanukka used Rapid Spin.
Happy Chanukka blew away the spikes!
Heracross lost 5% of its health.

Heracross used Megahorn.
It's super effective!
Happy Chanukka lost 90% of its health.
andysensei's Happy Chanukka fainted.

Fack. At least I know now, that he’s wearing choice scarf, and not band.. having outsped my Starmie. 5-6 Near_NateRiver.

andysensei switched in Supercat (lvl 100 Weavile ?).
Supercat is exerting its pressure!
Blissey used Stealth Rock.
Blissey's leftovers restored its health a little!
Blissey restored 6% of its health.

I know for a fact he’ll switch Blissey out against Weavile, and I plan to take advantage of that and get some free damage with CB’ed pursuit, before Weavile has to face certain death by means of stealth rocks.

Supercat used Pursuit.
Blissey lost 48% of its health.
Near_NateRiver switched in Skarmory (lvl 100 Skarmory ?).

Pointed stones dug into pkmnhax.exe.
pkmnhax.exe lost 12% of its health.

pkmnhax.exe used Ice Beam.

Scared Skarmory away for now, and got the added bonus of freezing Heracross.

pkmnhax.exe used Ice Beam.
Heracross lost 34% of its health.
Near_NateRiver's Heracross fainted.

I was afraid he’d thaw first turn (like usual when I freeze poke >_<), but I guess I got lucky.. otherwise SE close combat woulda took Pory-z’s face off. 5-5

Blissey lost 67% of its health.
Blissey used Seismic Toss.
Supercat lost 34% of its health.
Blissey's leftovers restored its health a little!
Blissey restored 6% of its health.

I figured he’d predict another pursuit, and get BB off.. however, CB’ed brick break didn’t do as much as I had thought it would..

Supercat used Brick Break.
It's super effective!
A critical hit!
Blissey lost 35% of its health.
Near_NateRiver's Blissey fainted.

Figured I’d go for it, and I got it.However, Weavile won’t survive another switch in, sadly.. 5-4 andysensei

Skarmory used Brave Bird.
pkmnhax.exe lost 53% of its health.
Skarmory was hit by recoil!
Skarmory lost 17% of its health.

Now, this was dumb on my part.. I switch, knowing Weavile can’t come back in… Rather than just do a little damage and let another poke come in on revenge.

Near_NateRiver switched in Metagross (lvl 100 Metagross).
pkmnhax.exe used Ice Beam.
It's not very effective...

I knew he was getting a free agility, but I have a trick up my sleeve…

Spook lost 43% of its health.
Spook used Counter.
Metagross lost 76% of its health.
Spook's leftovers restored its health a little!
Spook restored 6% of its health.

A second agility would a waste for him and exploding won’t affect me, so I knew I could counter him for good damage. Only thing I feared was the fact I had stupidly showed him Dusknoir had counter already.. but he took the bait and that’s all that counts.

Spook used Shadow Sneak.
Metagross lost 3% of its health.
Near_NateRiver's Metagross fainted.
Spook's leftovers restored its health a little!

Cresselia used Calm Mind.
Cresselia's special attack was raised.
Cresselia's special defence was raised.
Spook used Will-o-wisp.
Spook's attack missed!

I know I don’t have much chance to beat Cress with Dusknoir, but I figured I’d at least screw up its day with some residual damage.. but I miss =\ ..Shame Weavy can’t survive the spikes on the field and chase this bitch away.

Cresselia used Calm Mind.
Cresselia's special attack was raised.
Cresselia's special defence was raised.
Spook used Will-o-wisp.

Cresselia used Ice Beam.
Spook lost 34% of its health.
andysensei's Spook fainted.
Cresselia was hurt by its burn!
Cresselia lost 12% of its health.

Ok so, his health is semi low, and I plan to let Spook die to get the revenge kill.. But apparently in all the monotony, I forgot how to add, and send Weavile with 29% helth in to SR and 2 layers of spikes. Costing me 2 pokes in one turn 3-3.

Losing Weavile had to happen anyway, so fuck it, I know he’s going to heal, so I set up with agility.

Metalface used Meteor Mash.

I’m not sure of his last poke so I’m not gonna risk exploding.. with my only pokes left being Blissey and the wounded Porygon Z, if I do. MM leaves Cressy with a slender amount of life..

Skarmory has too much health to risk exploding.. NVE physical damge vs that birds giant Def is just not reliable

Skarmory used Spikes.
Spikes were scattered around the foe's team!
Nothing moves the BLOB used Softboiled.
Nothing moves the BLOB restored 19% of its health.

I know he’s going to get his third layer off if I heal, but even if I didn’t, ice beam isn’t gonna take him down so I need to heal before he starts shuffling me to death.

Skarmory used Spikes.
But it failed!
Nothing moves the BLOB used Ice Beam.

Dummy move. No reason Skarmory would do anything but whirlwind me after healing up and being set up with rocks and 3 layers of spikes.

Metalface used Explosion.
It's not very effective...
Skarmory lost 54% of its health.
andysensei's Metalface fainted.
Skarmory used Whirlwind.

I’m seriously in need to do some damage, so fuck it, even if it doesn’t KO, it at least dented him. Only problem, I’ve still yet to see that last poke of his.. 2-2

You may wonder why Bliss over Pory-Z, but at the time Pory was spike fodder, doomed to die upon switching in. We both heal, in anticipation of a long fight to come.

Don’t know why I CM’ed again, I knew he’d whirl me, should just hit him for at least a little bit of damage. Bad move on my part. 2-1 Near_NateRiver.

Nothing moves the BLOB's leftovers restored its health a little!
Nothing moves the BLOB restored 6% of its health.

The only good thing I have going now, is he can’t whirl me out, and I can CM to my hearts content. Not to mention, brave bird will hurt him almost as much as it does me.



The next 6-7 turns are spent with me CM’ing and him brave birding me, with the both of us healing a bit in between.


Near_NateRiver switched in Garchomp (lvl 100 Garchomp ?).
Nothing moves the BLOB used Softboiled.
Nothing moves the BLOB restored 25% of its health.

Finally, I see that last poke. I figured for as long as he hid it from me, it was either something totally useless vs bliss like choice specs starmie or some shit.. or his last resort Bliss counter. It happened to be the latter.


I was pretty sure Bliss could live through the first turn of quake or outrage, and with CM boosts, ice beam will KO.

Garchomp used Earthquake.
Nothing moves the BLOB lost 48% of its health.
Nothing moves the BLOB used Ice Beam.
It's super effective!
Garchomp lost 100% of its health.
Garchomp hung on using its Focus Sash!
Nothing moves the BLOB's leftovers restored its health a little!
Nothing moves the BLOB restored 6% of its health.

Hmm, based on EQs damage, the fact he EQ’ed over outrage, and that he has on a focus sash tells me, this is probably chain chomp. So I can heal up in confidence that his other moves are swords dance and two special moves that won’t even scathe me.

Garchomp used Earthquake.
Nothing moves the BLOB lost 44% of its health.
Nothing moves the BLOB used Softboiled.
Nothing moves the BLOB restored 50% of its health.
Nothing moves the BLOB's leftovers restored its health a little!
Nothing moves the BLOB restored 6% of its health.

This sucks, I know the SD is coming, but if I go to beam him, and he EQs, it could crit and kill me, or leave me at the mercy of Skarmory outspeeding and killing me.

VERRY NIOCE /bad Borat impression

Near_NateRiver switched in Skarmory (lvl 100 Skarmory ?).
Near_NateRiver: nice move
andysensei: =]

In all honesty, I kinda feel I got lucky, I threw that ice beam out there expecting the worst.. not because I predicted him to dance that turn.

Skarmory used Brave Bird.
Nothing moves the BLOB lost 29% of its health.

andysensei wins!


Good, Bad and Uglies… (kinda hate the phrase “props and slops”..)

Good – Trapping his Bliss with Weavile. Not taking TOO much damage from Heracross, who normally gives me trouble.

Bad – Losing Starmie so early and letting spikes do so much damage to my team. The calm mind with Bliss, against Skarm.. Switching Weavile out, with no way to put it back in. The shitty damage exploding my Metagross did to his Skarmory.

Ugly – The second time I made the mistake of CM’ing against Skarm with Bliss. Sending Weavile with 29% health, into rocks and spikes. Though neither of these moves cost me much, they were just awful on my part.


Overall, I’m not sure what to think about my performance. The Bad and Ugly seem to be more prevalent than the Good, but I don’t feel as if he was a bad player, and I don’t feel like I got luck really, other than freezing his Heracross.

Hopefully you guys like it.
 
I was just wondering though, did the CH at the end matter?
I thought of mentioning this issue, but I left it out..

Bliss had 3-4 CM's. With no boosts, ice beam did 21%, so with out crit, it should have been enough to take him down (though I don't have damage calcs, so correct me if I'm wrong).
