BL Fires Vs OU... OU

So this is my first war story. Read a few. I think I just use a few logs quotes and add in my commentary while trying to make it not so boring.

Ok well heres an explanation. I made this team just for fun. My friend doesn't like using OU so I made this team to play against him. Of course I needed to tets it so thats why I've been battling on Shoddy. My opponent wasn't really using a standard OU and I had some hacks on my side but I guess we can read that below.
I have the logs and all but I think it would be short for me to just summarize it since I have no experience with writing these. Mayeb will write a better one once I actually read some more. I read a few from the archives.

Typhlosion vs Crobat.
I predict the Hypnosis. Thinking back Scarf Typhlosion probably could've outsped and maybe even OHKO'd but I took the safe root. Switch to my useless guy.

Magcargo vs Crobat.
He is asleep and gets U-turned for small damage. He turns into Empoleon.

Magcargo vs Empoleon
I hope that he does not SR because then I'm completely screwed. Well I try to SR and he Agilities.
Now he Surfs me for a ton of overkill. I switch out to the only thing that might outspeed it. I notice he uses Life Orb.

5-6

Typhlosion vs Empoleon
I guess he makes a bad read here. He seems to expect Overheat or Eruption and switches to Houndoom for Flash Fire. But I used EQ for the 2x hit and his houndoom takes a lot.

Typhlosion vs Flygon
Stuck on EQ with Scarf I decide to stay in and kill the dog or scout out. I find Flygon so I know I have to leave.

Moltres vs Flygon
This is just a free switch. I learn nothing unless you count seeing EQ as unknown information.
Now he hits me harder than I thought with a Dragon Claw. I also Sub up so my HP is running low. But Lefties heals me and I see him take 10% so another Life Orb.
I Roost while he breaks my sub and recoils more.

Rapidash vs Flygon
Flygon packs too much for me right now. I decide to take it out. Dash is hit hard with a claw but he takes more recoil.
Hypnosis ftw... no. I miss Hypnosis and he finishes off Rapidash with Dragon Claw. But at least more Recoil.

4-6

Typhlosion vs Flygon
So I go for it. I can stall with Moltres but it is risky. Or I can go with Typhlosion and hope to hit hard with Eruption. The plan failed and Flygon hung on. I regret taking HP[Electric] over HP[Ice].

Moltres vs Houndoom
So we both switch. Typhlosion could do nothing with Eruption at such low HP. I guess he still expected to get a free Flash Fire.
Moltres can't kill this guy. I can sub, flash fire him, sub, or toxic. I choose to toxic him and just hope it works since he was low. He uses a Dark Pulse for over 50%. So I'm sunk BUT he takes 10% so another Life Orb. Toxic hits and he goes down. Wow Life Orb is killing him.

4-5

Moltres vs Togekiss
Wow I'm expecting Togehax luckily I'm wrong.
I roost off first and he Air Slashes for less than 50%. No Life Orb.
So I decide I want to stop him so I toxic him. And He Plots up.
I Sub up to protect myself from his Plot. He continues to Plot.
I roost up and he breaks my sub.
I sub up again and he breaks it. I am lucky to be faster.
By now Toxic has taken a toll on him. Its the fourth turn so 39% left.
I set up sub fearing a hit and he passes away.

Moltres vs Empoleon(2x Nasty Plot)
So I'm worried about this guy now. If he sweeps me that sucks. Luckily he is really slow.
I hit him with a Flamethrower for just under 50% and he breaks my sub.
Now I know I'm faster and I just saw myself do enough so I Flamethrower again. It hits him and he's out.

4-4

Moltres vs Crobat
So I don't want my only wall to get hit by sleep so I switch out.

Magmortar vs Crobat
I get hit pretty hard with Aerial Ace but Flame Body burns him. Yay hacks.
Aerial Ace again but with half damage I hang on pretty well. T-Bolt destroys him.

4-3

Magmortar vs Flygon
So I don't know what I was thinking. I knew I was slower. But I decided to go with HP[ICE] and hope to hit anyways. He EQs me and takes his recoil while killing what little I had left.
I guess I could argue that Dragon Claw would've killed Mag too so Moltres wasn't safe but I wish I made that switch. But, Magmortar wouldn't surprise anyone else.

3-3

So here I think about my switch. Flygon has 3% so I think. Typhlosion will definitely take the KO. But Moltres can set up.

Moltres vs Flygon
Here is my huge huge misplay. I should've gone with Typhlosion.
Moltres roosts. Flygon roosts.... I completely forgot about Roost so I am just pissed at myself thinking how can I get out of this.
I sub up for no reason and he roosts to 100%.
He breaks sub and I flamethrower. Crit Hacks. Man that was lucky so he took 60%.
He hits me and takes his recoil. I flamethower again so I can hopefully finish him. Crit again so he goes down. I felt bad since two crits at a time like that sucks for him but I probably didn't need it since he took Life Orb too. If I was extremely unlucky he would've held on with like 2% but I didn't do damage calcs.

3-2

So now I feel safe. He has a Kiss but it is in Yellow so its out. But he has that one unknown still.

Moltres vs Breloom
So here is his unknown. Breloom is so annoying I really hoped to take it out fast.
I didn't set up. I figured I should just Flamethrower and break his sub so Typhlosion can get a clean hit in. But, I outspeed him and kill the breloom.
Ehh lucky me. I guess he doesn't really like speed EVs.

3-1

Moltres vs Togekiss
So now I want to use my Sixth. I don't know if I should just let Moltres die or switch out. I switch out for the heck of it.

Blaziken vs Togekiss
He hits me with AS. BUT Blaziken holes on with 2%. So Salac activates(Probably didn't need it) and I reversal next turn for game.

3-0

That was probably a jerky move for me to just switch out like that at the end but I wanted to use him.

I mean I had some luck to make up for my bad calls but I think I did decent. Granted this isn't the standard OU team I probably would've been torn to pieces had I messed up as bad as I did in this game or even if I hadn't the team proved againt hat it can stand up to some teams. Its been in like 10 battles. I don't know the exact numbers. It is like half and half now.

I hope this was ok. I still don't know how I should combine logs with this to make it not so lenghty so hopefully this is ok.
 
Interesting, though I would've thought a mono-fire team would be running Sunny Day.
I thought about Sunny day too. I mean it seemed really obvious but I just didn't make one. I wanted something that was still unexpected because Sunny Day sort of gives it away unless I set it up late then it is pretty useless. Also I still plan to use all the pokes in OU teams and such so a random sunny dayer doesn't mesh well with my other teams which was probably the ultimate reason for me choosing this team but it might change.

oh well, would you not pack mach punch or vacuum wave on a lucario cause it was obviously.

I run neither on my Luc :P of course I run the other common moves. But comparing one pokemon to a whole team is different. If they coutner one you should have a way around that. If they figure out a counter to your team and set it up fast you are pretty dead without a method out. And with BL and Fires there aren't many outs.

Also side note if anyone actualyl wanted to help the team. Should Torkoal replace Magcargo? I am really saying no. he just has Spin but they will set right back up so it seems rather useless.

nice.

enjoy seeing mono teams.
First mono team and I would have to say a horrible type choice at that but it is fun. Just wish it wasn't so easily coutnered.
 
Mono-fire BL is cool and all, but I don't like how this warstory is put together. Honestly, the whole thing just looks like it was constructed in under five minutes. Battle was not close at all, hax, etc.
 
Nice to see a mono FIRE (OMG) win a somewhat OU team. No Blissey/Cress etc.... or Chomp or Stealth rocks to screw up fire type monos. But counting that its a BL fire mono, it did quite well, aside from the crit hax. Would like to see more action from this team against another OU team.

Grats btw on the win.

Next time try to save and post the combat log so people can actually see the battle progression clearly.

I have the logs. I just didn't know a good way to incorporate them since I didn't know what to keep in and out. WIll read some more wars stories and try to improve.

I've faced some other more OU teams and beat some and lost horribly to others(A Sandstorm team in particular). I just never logged them. Next battle I use these guys in I will log and might make a story if I can read some others and learn.

Also Charizard over Magcargo seems to be a good choice. Also since BellyZard is really the only one expected I guess I can get a surrpise in hopefully.

Thnaks for comments will use to try to imrpove.
 
Put the commentary in between the logs after each turn. It would really help. Nice to see something that gets raped by SR do well.
