After just dropping out of the "Nightmare before Christmas" Tourney, my first on Smogon and first Tourney ever, I decided to look through some of my old logs for a warstory. The Tourney while fun, had nothing on a very tight match between me and Gouki, several weeks ago. This Warstory took place around the same time as my match against Jeb.
Gouki had kicked my ass hard, the last time we thought, so i decided to give him a little payback. LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!!

Even without a spinner, my Team can take T-Spikes and Stealth Rock fairly well. However, Ho-oh's days are sealed now that Stealth Rock is up. I use Sacred Fire hoping to hit anything but a Giratina.

I try to switch in my Mixed Dialga, but predicting my switch he Roar's me out unleashing my Mewtwo. Not Bad, as Mewtwo runs a wall-breaker set, and thus far, all i've really seen is 2 walls and a bulky sweeper. I taunt hoping for a Blissey switch-in.

Well, that worked nicely. Most Blissey's run Thunder and Ice Beam. Thunder accuracy is haxxed, quite nicely by Sunny Day and Ice Beam does pathetic damage after a few Calm Minds. I wonder where all his sweepers are but blissfully CM knowing that the fat pink egg can't touch me.

Stone Edge? He must've predicted a Ho-oh switch in. If i can burn this beast, then Mewtwo should have an even easier chance to sweep. I wisp, even though i'm certain he'll switch to a status absorber.

Blast that Mechanical Bug!! Both my walls can't touch it, giving it free time to setup. What now? T-spikes or regular Spikes. Toxic Spikes would actually benefit me more, in the switch-heavy Uber Metagame. Not to mention I have 3 Pokemon immune to T-Spikes as well as Giratina having rest.

With 1 layer of Toxic Spikes down, I realize that Groudon and his Life Orb might not get a long sweeping life. Mewtwo might still has a chance to stat-up and take some things down. Now, Gouki knows i run a Mixed Dialga set, and such mind-games are abound to arise. We both take a while, and eventually we select our moves.

It's times like these that make me take some risky ass chances. At least I get a free Dialga switch-in. Even though I haven't seen a Blissey, 90% of all Uber Teams have one, and 100% of all Stall Teams have one. I take the risk, and Break some Bricks.

Even without a spinner, my Team can take T-Spikes and Stealth Rock fairly well. However, Ho-oh's days are sealed now that Stealth Rock is up. I use Sacred Fire hoping to hit anything but a Giratina.

I try to switch in my Mixed Dialga, but predicting my switch he Roar's me out unleashing my Mewtwo. Not Bad, as Mewtwo runs a wall-breaker set, and thus far, all i've really seen is 2 walls and a bulky sweeper. I taunt hoping for a Blissey switch-in.

Well, that worked nicely. Most Blissey's run Thunder and Ice Beam. Thunder accuracy is haxxed, quite nicely by Sunny Day and Ice Beam does pathetic damage after a few Calm Minds. I wonder where all his sweepers are but blissfully CM knowing that the fat pink egg can't touch me.

I learnt my mistake from my Battle with Jeb. Whilst Groudon doesn't have the greatest SpDef in the world, a non-STAB 90 Base Power move does shit to the Land Beast. I flee, and to my own Undead caterpillar to take the incoming Earthquake.

Stone Edge? He must've predicted a Ho-oh switch in. If i can burn this beast, then Mewtwo should have an even easier chance to sweep. I wisp, even though i'm certain he'll switch to a status absorber.

Blast that Mechanical Bug!! Both my walls can't touch it, giving it free time to setup. What now? T-spikes or regular Spikes. Toxic Spikes would actually benefit me more, in the switch-heavy Uber Metagame. Not to mention I have 3 Pokemon immune to T-Spikes as well as Giratina having rest.

With 1 layer of Toxic Spikes down, I realize that Groudon and his Life Orb might not get a long sweeping life. Mewtwo might still has a chance to stat-up and take some things down. Now, Gouki knows i run a Mixed Dialga set, and such mind-games are abound to arise. We both take a while, and eventually we select our moves.

Whoo! One down, and in a stall team, that marks the beginning of the end. Whilst i'd like to gloat about my prediction skills, that was in fact, lag-luck. Shoddy lives up to it's name in the heat of battle.

It's times like these that make me take some risky ass chances. At least I get a free Dialga switch-in. Even though I haven't seen a Blissey, 90% of all Uber Teams have one, and 100% of all Stall Teams have one. I take the risk, and Break some Bricks.

And it pays, the hell off. If i can take out that Blissey, i'd open the flood gates to my Mewtwo and Dialga. I first predict a switch to either Giratina or Groudon, but am hesitant. Time for some moar unpredictabilty. Mind-Games are VERY fun.

Wow, I can't believe i outsped him. I run a measly 20 Speed EVs, enough with a Rock Polish to outpace a few Deoxys'. His Groudon's is weak enough to be picked from Mewtwo. No time for Calm Minds, with the debilitating poison, it's time for some All-or-nothing Mewtwo action.
