Coenn vs PabloMeza (UU Match featuring Trapinch)

One day, Pablo asked me if I was up for a UU match (WiFi). I didn't really have much experience with UUs but I figured he didn't either, so I would give it a shot. And then I though, 'hey, why not keep notes and write a warstory, should be fun’ and so I did. It's also my first ever warstory. I hope you enjoy it. Comments in bold.

Match starts:

Turn #1

Coenn sent out Clefable! (100%)
Pablo sent out Butterfree! (100%)

Oh snap, a Butterfree. I knew he had it from previous matches. And I also knew he had that incredibly accurate Sleep Powder. Too bad I got.....

Clefable used Protect.
------------------------------
Butterfree used Sleep Powder!
Clefable protected itself!
Toxice Orb activated and poisoned Clefable!

No sleep 4 u, Pablo. I knew I had to do something here, so I went with attacking.

Turn #2
Butterfree used U-Turn!
(15% damage)
Butterfree returned to Pablo!
Pablo sent out Bastiodon! (100%)
------------------------------
Clefable used Facade!
(6% damage)
It's not very effective!
Leftovers heal Bastiodon (100%)

Bastiodon. Hmm, Clefable isn't going to do much while it's probably going to set up or Metal Burst me to oblivion, so I decided to switch out.

Turn #3
Coen sent out Trapinch! (100%)
------------------------
Bastiodon used Stealth Rock!
Pointed stones float in the air around your foe's team!

Uh-oh. Not good. My team does not like Stealth Rock with 2 Focus sashers. Good thing I already brought one of those 2 out, named Trapinch. There is absolutely nothing Bastiodon could hope to do if it doesn't have any form of attack or Toxic. :heart: And it can't switch out either.

Turn #4
Bastiodon used Metal Burst!
Nothing happened!
--------------------------
Trapinch used Earthquake!
(100% damage)
It's Super Effective!
Bastiodon fainted!

6-5

LOL, Trapinch is teh_slow. Ah well, he wouldn't have been able to Metal Burst me even if I were faster.

Turn #5

Pablo sent out Butterfree! (100%)
Butterfree used Sleep Powder!
----------------------------
Trapinch was fast asleep!

I could've switched back to Fable, but I was afraid he was going to U-turn to a counter. I couldn't risk letting Clefable get raped so early in the match. I have to switch now though for sleep clause's sake. Let's go to my Spinner, I need to get rid of those Rocks.

Turn #6
Coen sent out Hitmontop! (TOP!) (100%)
Pointed stones dug into TOP!
(6% damage)
Intimidate cuts Butterfree's attack!
------------------------------
Butterfree used U-Turn!
(10% damage)
It's not very effective!
Butterfree returned to Pablo!
Pablo sent out Blastoise! (100%)

Leftovers heal TOP! a bit! (90%)

Tough one again. My priority now is to Rapid Spin. I can take a few attacks with my defensively EV'd TOP!

Turn #7

Blastoise used Surf!
(30% damage)
----------------------
TOP! used Rapid Spin!
(1% damage)
Stealth Rock was blown away!

Leftovers heal Blastoise a bit! (100%)
Leftovers heal TOP! a bit! (66%)

Allright, Rocks gone, now I go for the Toxic.

Turn #8
Blastoise used Surf!
(30% damage)
---------------------
TOP! used Toxic!
Blastoise was badly poisoned!

Leftovers heal TOP! a bit! (42%)
Blastoise is hurt by Poison (94%)

I can take one more, I'll try attacking.

Turn #9
Blastoise used Surf!
(30% damage)
----------------------
TOP! used Revenge!
(30% damage)

Leftovers healed Blastoise a bit! (70%)
Leftovers healed TOP! a bit! (18%)
Blastoise is hurt by Poison! (58%)

I've gotten a little low on health by now, and I figured it wouldn't hurt to keep this guy safe until later in the match because I might have to Intimidate something later on. Let's go to....

Turn # 10

Coen sent out Clefable! (85%)
------------------------------
Blastoise used Ice beam!
It's a critical hit!
(45% damage)

Leftovers healed Blastoise a bit (64%)
Blastoise is hurt by poison (46%)

Clefable: (40%)

As he got a crit, I should have been able to live another hit right here and Facade to either kill off Blastoise or massively hurt what's coming in. But..

Turn #11

Blastoise used Surf!
It's a critical hit (GAY!)
(40% damage)
Clefable fainted!
--------------------------
Leftovers healed Blastoise a bit! (52%)
Blastoise is hurt by poison! (28%)


5-5

That was pretty lame. Ah well, he's slowly being crippled by Toxic. Time to go to our next contestant, I choose you:

Coen sent out Pikachu! (100%)

For some reason at this point I thought I would have a sub up against the next poke after stalling his poison out. Wrong move, but I didn't really matter in the end.

Turn #12

Pikachu used Substitute! (75%)
Pikachu made a substitute!
----------------------------
Blastoise used Surf!
Substitute breaks!

Leftovers heal Blastoise a bit! (34%)
Blastoise is hurt by Poison! (4%)

Turn #13

Pikachu used Substitute! (50%)
Pikachu made a substitute!
---------------------------
Blastoise used Surf!
Substitute breaks!

Leftovers heal Blastoise a bit! (10%)
Poison took it's toll on Blastoise (KO!)


5-4

Ok, that didn't work out. What the hell was I thinking? I could have just T-bolted or Grass Knotted instead and actually SAVE 50% of my HP. Ah well, doesn't really matter since I read even a Ambipom Fake Out will OHKO Pikachu. What now?


Turn #14
Pablo sent out Clefable! (100%)

I'm screwed O_o

Coen switched to Ninetales! (100%)
---------------------------------

Clefable used Ice beam!
(12% damage)
It’s not very effective!

So as Pika wouldn’t live another day, I sent out Ninetales, who I hoped could pose a threat to Clefable. Sadly, my version of Ninetales didn’t do shit.

Turn #15

Ninetales used Overheat!
(58% damage)
Ninetales’ Special Attack was harshly lowered!
------------------------------------
Clefable used Calm Mind!
Clefable’s SpAtk and SpDef rose!

Not. Good. My Ninetales wasn’t Specs’d, as I thought it was. Forgot, I guess. And I didn’t really have anything to counter Fable besides my own Fable, so that sucked. Needless to say, I was forced to switch out. At this point I thought up something to force Clefable out. I could have done it right away, but I didn’t think of it yet at this moment.

Turn #16

Coen switched to Trapinch! (100% and Asleep)
--------------------------------
Clefable used Softboiled! (;_;)
Clefable restored it’s health! (90%)

Sleeping Trapinch vs Calm Mind Clefable. Go figure. Very bad move on my part >_<
But instead of Calm Minding up, it attacked me.

Turn #17

Clefable used Ice Beam!
(99% damage)
Trapinch hung on using it’s Focus Sash!

Trapinch woke up!
Trapinch used Earthquake!
(50% damage)

Clefable: 40%

Hell yeah, at least done some damage. I could either Quick attack for some additional damage before dying, or EQ again if he would used Softboiled. I decided to EQ.

Turn #18

Clefable used Softboiled!
Clefable restored it’s health! (90%)

Trapinch used EQ!
(47% damage)

Clefable: 43%

Hmm, mindgames. I went with least risky, and tried to EQ again, but…..

Turn #19

Clefable used Ice beam!
(KO)

Trapinch died in despair!

>_____<

4-4

The main core, the ultimate greatness of this team. It subsided to a mere Pixie trying to shoot a laser beam of Ice at me. Phail. Nevertheless, I keep trying.

Turn #20

Coen sent out Ninetales!

Ninetales used Energy Ball!
(22% damage)
---------------------------------
Clefable used Softboiled!
Clefable restored it’s health! (71%)


Ninetales: 88%

Meh. Clefable rapes me. I continue my plan.

Turn #21

Ninetales used Overheat!
Ninetales’ attack missed!
----------------------
Clefable used T-Bolt!
(38% damage)

Ninetales: 50%

Bah =(

Turn # 22

Ninetales used Overheat!
(45% damage)
----------------------------
Clefable used T-Bolt!
(39% damage)

Ninetales: 11%
Clefable: 26%

Allright, work, little plan.

Turn #23

Coen switched to *Needs hug* (Pikachu) (50%)
-------------------------------
Clefable used Softboiled!
Clefable restored it’s health! (76%)

Allright, let’s hope he doesn’t see this coming.

Turn #24

*Needs hug* uses Encore!
Clefable got an encore!
---------------------------------
Clefable used Softboiled!
Clefable restored it’s health! (100%)

FINALLY, I forced it to switch out. Meeshun complay! Now it can only come back later to terrorize me, but that’s not the point.

Turn #25

Pablo switched to Nidoking!
----------------------
*Needs hug* uses Substitute! (25%)
*Needs hug* made a Substitute!

Let’s try killing that single-horned son of a biatch.

Turn #26

*Needs hug* used Grass Knot!
(47% damage)
Pikachu was poisoned by Poison Point!
---------------------
Nidoking used EQ!
Sub breaks!
Nidoking is hurt by Life Orb! (43%)

Pikachu is hurt by poison! (19%)

Wow, that’s less than I expected. But another one should kill it as his Life Orb put him right into killing range. Btw, I also didn’t know it was possible to get Poisoned through Special attacks? What the hell?

Turn #27

*epic*

Nidoking used freaking SUCKER PUNCH!
(K.O.!!!)

Pikachu is not impressed. Pikachu drops dead.

Nidoking is hurt by Life Orb! (33%)

3-4

And that’s the end of my Pika. Definitely didn’t expect that, props.

Turn #28

Coen sent out Persian! (100%)

Here’s my shot towards luck.

Persian used Swagger!
Nidoking was confused!
Nidoking’s Attack sharply rose!
--------------------
Nidoking is confused……

Nidoking used EQ!
(100% damage)
Nidoking is hurt by Life Orb! (23%)

Persian fainted!

2-4

But it failed!

Coen sent out Ninetales!

Here I could have used Overheat, but I didn’t want to be forced to switch out next turn and be up against his Fable again, so Energy Ball was the way to go.

Turn #29

Pablo switched to Butterfree! (100%)
-----------------
Ninetales used Energy Ball!
(7% damage)

Too bad Butterfree isn’t possibly faster than Ninetales. I have to use Overheat here or get slept.

Turn #30

Ninetales used Overheat!
(93% damage)
It’s Super effective!
Ninetales’ Sp Atk was harshly lowered!
Butterfree fainted!

2-3

Pablo could have switched to Fable or Poliwrath here, kind of forcing me to use Overheat, shrug off the hit and rampage me. But he didn’t.

Turn #31

Pablo sent out Poliwrath! (100%)

His PoliWRATH came to take revenge! (haha, bad pun) I’m in a tight position here, as Tales is one of my 2 last Pokes. I don’t switch out, afraid of the sub, Belly drum combo. I had to be able to do more damage than 1 sub (25%). I tried to make the best out of it.

Ninetales used Energy Ball
(26% damage)
It’s Super effective!
-------------------------
Poliwrath used Substitute! (49%)
Poliwrath created a Substitute!

I don’t even want to think about what would have happened if he Drummed right away. 26%+50%= 76%, 100% - 76% = 24% = Belly Drum + Salac activation = Max attack + Speed boost. Even if he just attacked I would have been dead. Instead:

Turn #32

Ninetales used Energy Ball!
Sub breaks!
It’s Super effective!
-------------------
Poliwrath used Belly Drum!
But it failed!

This might seem like a weird move, but Pablo victory was pretty much guaranteed here, and he wanted to test out something he read on Smogon (Does Belly drum still give you an attack boost (Swords dance), even if it fails?).

Turn #33

Coen switched to Hitmontop! (TOP!) (18%)
Intimidate cut Poliwrath’s Attack!

Poliwrath used Waterfall!
(KO!)
TOP! fainted!

1-3

Sacrifice to get my Sp Atk back on Ninetales.

Turn #34

Coen switched in Ninetales (11%)

Ninetales used Energy Ball!
(KO!)
Poliwrath fainted!

1-2

Clefable?

Pablo sent out Clefable! (100%)

CRIT!CRIT!CRIT!

Ninetales used Overheat!


(60% damage)

Clefable KO's Ninetales!

Pablo wins. 0-2

Props:
-Trapinch, the god of all.
- Pablo = too good
- Pikachu who Encores Clefable!
- Fun match

Slops:
- Clefable, my most useful poke on the team, got critted twice in a row
- Pablo = too good
- Persian didn’t get the hax he deserved.
- Sucker Punch on Nidoking, which raped my Pikachu.
- Took me ages to write this

Can’t think of anything else. It wasn't really an extraordinary battle or anything but I hope you enjoyed it.
 
I don't think a Butterfree lead seems very good in UU, too many Burn Orb Swellow leads from what I've seen. Good warstory.
 
Funny, I've had 2 Clefables, and one used your set, and the other used Pablo's. :p I prefer the one you used, though, as it's great for blocking annoying status, as displayed in this story. Good job. I enjoyed reading it.

Oh, and post 100! I didn't intend to stay around here for even 100 posts. <_< Heh.
 
I really didn't like some of the random interjections spouting 4chan language, but I did emjoy the story.

Man, The fact that bastiodon was taken down in one fell swoop by Trapinch's Earthquake (yes, 100 base att) Shows that using trapinch is awsome, or bastiodon is a useless piece of shit. More than likely a combination of the two.
 
For the record, my Clefable was also holding a Toxic Orb, Coenn just forgot to mention that.
Why would you give it Toxic Orb? You don't get boosted Facade when running a Calm Mind set. Sure, you can absorb status with it, but Leftovers or Life Orb seems more practical for that kind of set.
 
Shame about your Clefable being double criticaled :-( I wanted to see a toxic abuse one in action in UU. Anyway, good battle.

One FELL swoop, not one foul swoop. And Trapinch is great fun to use in a TR team with a bunch of U-Turners. It has min 51 Speed IIRC.
 
Hey, I know you from somewhere else, don't I. xD Anyways, I enjoyed it (I like UU battles), but yeah, I have to agree with TheMantyke on the 4chan stuff.
 
I think the best part of the match was showing how cool Trapinch is. It's the UU Dugtrio, but extra slow. Good match.
 
about grass knot triggering poison point it is correct grass knot is one of the few special attack based attacks that are contact moves in DP

almost all the contact moves of 3rd gen are physcial now
 
That was a pretty sweet battle, good job using trapinch. One thing though, was your pikachu holding light orb? because I thought that made it BL?
