Brock Returns! (Warstory)

I wanted to take a break from the usual ladder battling on Shoddy, and brought back the old Brock team I have been using. In a metagame littered with the same old boring pokemon, theme teams are always a pleasant change, and this battle was fun, and really tested the team's potential. Enjoy!

Rules: Evasion Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Sleep Clause, Species Clause, Timed Battle

Brock- sent out Crobat (lvl 100 Crobat ?).
dikembe sent out Skarmory (lvl 100 Skarmory ?).
Cynthia- has entered the room.
Crobat used Taunt.
Skarmory fell for the taunt!
Skarmory used Spikes.
Skarmory can't use Spikes after the taunt!
---

Ahhh, Skarm lead. Skarmory is just taunt bait for Crobat. Lets shut him down and see what happens.

dikembe switched in Gengar (lvl 100 Gengar ?).
Crobat used U-turn.
It's not very effective...
Gengar lost 9% of its health.
Brock- switched in Steelix (lvl 100 Steelix ?).
Gengar's leftovers restored its health a little!
Gengar restored 6% of its health.
---

Gengar is BAD news for my team. Since I'm running theme, I have limited options to counter him. I figure hes going to focus blast steelix, so I'll bring back Crobat to see if hes scarf.

Brock- switched in Crobat (lvl 100 Crobat ?).
Gengar used Focus Blast.
It's not very effective...
Crobat lost 11% of its health.
Crobat's special defence was lowered.
Crobat's Black Sludge restored a little health!
Crobat restored 6% of its health.
Gengar's leftovers restored its health a little!
Gengar restored 6% of its health.
---

Now he's probably going to Shadow Ball me. Since I have no one to really take his hits, I figure I'll just dent him as hard as possible.

Brock-: hmmm
Crobat used Brave Bird.
Gengar lost 87% of its health.
Crobat was hit by recoil!
Crobat lost 22% of its health.
Gengar used Thunderbolt.

Gengar restored 6% of its health.

5-6

If it wasn't for that special defense drop, crobat actually might have stood a chance. But anyway, Gengar is nearly dead. So I send in the frog to finish him.

Brock- switched in Toxicroak (lvl 100 Toxicroak ?).
Toxicroak used Sucker Punch.
But it failed!
Gengar used Hypnosis.
Gengar's attack missed!
Gengar's leftovers restored its health a little!
Gengar restored 6% of its health.
---

Well, way to be predictable. I guess Toxicroak is no longer a surprise to anyone like he used to be. Let me just finish him.

Gengar used Hypnosis.
Gengar's attack missed!
Toxicroak used Stone Edge.
Gengar lost 69% of its health.
dikembe's Gengar fainted.

Skarmory used Brave Bird.
Ninetales lost 54% of its health.
Skarmory was hit by recoil!

---

Yikes, I figured a brave bird wasn't coming and that Ninetales can come in for free. That really hurts her sweeping potential. A counter is coming in so lets put them to sleep.

dikembe switched in Tyranitar (lvl 100 Tyranitar ?).

A sandstorm brewed!
Ninetales used Hypnosis.

Brock- switched in Swampert (lvl 100 Swampert ?).
dikembe switched in Salamence (lvl 100 Salamence ?).
Salamence's intimidate cut Swampert's attack!

Salamence lost 6% of its health.
---

Swampert vs. Salamence. Most people won't risk leaving a dragon in on 'ol Pert. What people don't know is mine is not the standard boring Mixpert. He's got a cool set, because he has to anchor this team.

dikembe switched in Metagross (lvl 100 Metagross).

It's not very effective...
Metagross lost 12% of its health.

Steelix is getting tired, so I switch to Ninetales for a free Flash Fire Boost. I suppose I should have done that earlier because...

I had a hunch it was Mixmence. Either way, steelix needs to die, because I need to scare this beast away and I want the champ healthy.

Dammit, Skarmory is hard to take down. I need to get ninetails in there to finish him. I weakened him with Swampert, so I'll predict a roost and bring in Ninetales.

Since Skarm is such I threat, I can't dance like I usually do to end the game. So Ludicolo Surfs Skarm to his grave, but waits in fear of the next pokemon... hoping it's not a speed demon.

dikembe switched in Weavile (lvl 100 Weavile ?).
Weavile is exerting its pressure!

I didn't expect brick break. He would have been much better off using Night Slash and hoping for the crit. His own sandstorm finishes him off. And he's forced to send out his sleeping dino to take on my Swampert.

Kudos to dikembe for a great match

Props:
  • Swampert, for being awesome
  • The match, for actually not having hax every two moves
  • Theme teams, for being great!
Slops:
  • Ludicolo, for not sweeping like he normally does
  • Steelix, for not getting to blow up on anything
  • Toxicroak, for not flexing his muscles
Hope you enjoyed!
 
This was a good match, I saw most of it firsthand. Good use of Swampert(the only OU).Might want to take out Leftovers/Sandstorm though.
 
I have to give props to your opponent for using a SpecialGross, I use one myself, I love the surpise.

Nice warstory too, theme matches are always entertaining.

Gengar is BAD news for my team. Since I'm running theme, I have limited options to counter him. I figure hes going to focus blast steelix, so I'll bring back Crobat to see if hes scarf.

To see if he's scarfed? Right above you shows Gengars leftovers recovery. ;o
I do like themed warstories though.
:D
 
True, but pretty much all pokemom above 100 base speed without a choice scarf maxes speed. I loved the warstory. Theme teams ftw.
That's true too, but I just want to point out that neutral speed crobat (359) is still faster than +speed gengar (350)
