Game 5
Hitmontop/Cresselia/Tyranitar/Metagross vs Thundurus/Metagross/Gastrodon/Salamence
I Fake Out Thundurus in fear of Swagger + Lum Berry. I paralyse her Thundurus too, but then I'm met with Trick from Metagross! My Cresselia now has Scarf. I switch out Hitmontop for Metagross in fear of Zen Headbutt or Meteor Mash and go for Thunder Wave on her Metagross. Sure enough, her Thundurus uses Thunder Wave on my Cresselia, but I get the paralysis on her Metagross. I Protect with Metagross, and switch in Hitmontop. Her Thundurus tries to paralyse Metagross but fails due to Protect. I now switch out Metagross for my alrady paralysed Cresselia, and she tries to paralyse Metagross again but hits Cresselia. I then Close Combat Metagross which Meteor Mashes me down. I bring in Metagross again. I go for Ice Beam on Thundurus, but decide to try my luck with Earthquake this turn and hope for a fully para. Thundurus actually uses Substitute, and my Earthquake knocks out Metagross. I break Thundurus' Sub with Ice Beam. In comes Gastrodon which could be a problem. I decide to switch out Cresselia for Tyranitar and Protect with Metagross. Thundurus is paralysed and Gastrodon fails to hit Metagross. Thundurus retreats for Salamence, wish I used Rock Slide. But I double target Gastrodon with Crunch and Ice Punch, it survives well due to Sitrus Berry and takes Metagross into the red with Earth Power. This turn is now crucial, do they predict my Protect or switch with Metagross? They switch Gastrodon out, I could be in luck but this will hurt. Draco Meteor takes out Metagross and I Rock Slide both Thundurus and Salamence. I have a shot here. I Protect with Tyrantiar to block Thunder Wave, but sure enough.. Cresselia is fully Paralysed when I should have knocked out Thundurus. Gastrodon Protects this turn annoyingly and Thundurus paralyses Tyranitar, but I Ice Beam down her Thundurus. I make the obvious move and Protect with Tyranitar, but they miss predict and double target Tyranitar with Draco Meteor and Earth Power. I knock out Salamence with Ice Beam. They then disconnect, very annoyingly, as this was a great game :( I really wanted to save it.
