Pika25’s Team:
Platypus’s Team:
My comments will be in bold. Battle log will be regular font.
Only Blissey has leftovers; they will be shown first time, no later. The same goes for burn or poison damage, unless it has a significant impact on the battle.
Nicknames for Platypus’s Pokémon will be ignored.
Rules: Ladder Match, Sleep Clause, OHKO Clause, Evasion Clause, Species Clause, Strict Damage Clause
Platypus sent out Mismagius.
Pika25 sent out Gyarados.
Gyarados's intimidate cut Mismagius's attack!
I fear this thing might be carrying Thunderbolt or Thunder. I could switch to Electivire right away and activate Motor Drive, but I will stay in and Dragon Dance up just in case he overpredicts and uses Shadow Ball, or in case Thunder misses.
Mismagius used Thunder.
It's super effective!
A critical hit!
Gyarados lost 100% of its health.
Pika25's Gyarados fainted.
And I fell for the Thunder. It turns out that sacrificing Gyarados like that didn’t matter. I didn’t think the critical was necessary. This tells me that Platypus is running a Rain Dance team. 6-5 Platypus.
Pika25 switched in Blissey.
Mismagius used Will-o-wisp.
Blissey was burned!
Blissey used Thunder Wave.
Mismagius is paralysed! It may be unable to move!
I went straight to Blissey for the paralysis; whatever Mismagius does, Blissey can handle. Since I got burned, I decided to switch to Chomp. I have Natural Cure so that the burn will be healed upon switching.
Pika25 switched in Garchomp.
Mismagius used Rain Dance.
Rain began to fall!
The rain continues to fall.
And here comes the rain! Chomp is Choice Banded, so I have to choose which move to have the Band lock me into. Shadow Claw will be supereffective against Mismagius, although I doubt it will OHKO, even with the Band, as I’m running Jolly instead of Adamant.
Garchomp used Shadow Claw.
It's super effective!
Mismagius lost 90% of its health.
Mismagius used Will-o-wisp.
Garchomp was burned!
The rain continues to fall.
And it indeed comes close to an OHKO. That reminds me, I should have run Crunch instead…
Garchomp used Shadow Claw.
It's super effective!
Mismagius lost 10% of its health.
Platypus's Mismagius fainted.
The rain continues to fall.
So now the score is 5-5. In comes Froslass. I will stay in and use Shadow Claw again.
Platypus switched in Froslass.
Garchomp used Shadow Claw.
It's super effective!
Froslass lost 51% of its health.
Froslass used Shadow Ball.
Garchomp lost 25% of its health.
The rain continues to fall.
And because of the burn, I won’t be able to OHKO this Froslass either.
Garchomp used Shadow Claw.
It's super effective!
Froslass lost 48% of its health.
Froslass used Spikes.
The rain stopped.
Random number generator FTL. At least the Spikes won’t affect my final team member. And the rain is gone too. This tells me Mismagius was not running Damp Rock.
Garchomp used Shadow Claw.
It's super effective!
Froslass lost 1% of its health.
Platypus's Froslass fainted.
5-4 me. In comes Clefable. I am stuck on Shadow Claw, which won’t touch it. So I have to switch out. I can’t go to Starly yet, and I decide not to go into a stall war with Blissey, so I instead go to Electivire.
Platypus switched in Clefable.
Pika25 switched in Electivire.
Electivire was hurt by Spikes! (12%)
Clefable used Cosmic Power.
Clefable's defence was raised.
Clefable's special defence was raised.
Clefable was badly poisoned!
It turned out to be a CP Clefable.
Electivire used Thunderbolt.
Clefable lost 22% of its health.
Clefable used Sing.
Clefable's attack missed!
Electivire used Thunderbolt.
Clefable lost 25% of its health.
Clefable used Sing.
Clefable's attack missed!
Electivire used Thunderbolt.
Clefable lost 22% of its health.
Clefable used Sing.
Clefable's attack missed!
Electivire used Thunderbolt.
Clefable lost 24% of its health.
Clefable used Sing.
Clefable's attack missed!
Electivire used Thunderbolt.
Clefable lost 6% of its health.
Platypus's Clefable fainted.
Four consecutive misses on Sing! This tells me that its only attack was Thunder, which would activate Motor Drive. So now it’s 5-3 me. His next Pokémon will be a Hitmonlee.
Platypus switched in Hitmonlee.
Hitmonlee used Hi Jump Kick.
Electivire lost 75% of its health.
Electivire used Thunderbolt.
Hitmonlee lost 39% of its health.
It came close to an OHKO here. Good thing Thunderbolt makes way for Skarmory’s Brave Bird later, even if he had a sash.
Hitmonlee used Blaze Kick.
Electivire lost 13% of its health.
Pika25's Electivire fainted.
And he finishes me off with Blaze Kick, fearing that Hi Jump Kick might miss. 4-3 me. Now’s the time to sacrifice Chomp to Spikes.
Pika25 switched in Garchomp.
Garchomp was hurt by Spikes! (12%)
Pika25's Garchomp fainted.
3-3. I misclick on Blissey instead of Skarmory, but it turns out that misclick didn’t matter.
Pika25 switched in Blissey.
Blissey was hurt by Spikes! (12%)
I go to Skarmory now. Now’s the time for a Brave Bird.
Pika25 switched in Skarmory.
Hitmonlee used Blaze Kick.
It's super effective!
Skarmory lost 29% of its health.
But not before two Blaze Kicks (instead of one because of my misclick).
Hitmonlee used Blaze Kick.
It's super effective!
Skarmory lost 30% of its health.
Skarmory used Brave Bird.
It's super effective!
Hitmonlee lost 61% of its health.
Platypus's Hitmonlee fainted.
Skarmory was hit by recoil for 14%.
Now it’s 3-2 me. Next up is Gorebyss.
Platypus switched in Gorebyss.
Skarmory used Brave Bird.
Gorebyss lost 46% of its health.
Skarmory was hit by recoil for 11%.
Gorebyss used Hydro Pump.
Skarmory lost 16% of its health.
Pika25's Skarmory fainted.
How could I outpace Gorebyss? This is why my misclick earlier did not matter: Hydro Pump would have done much more than 16% anyway. 2-2. I’m still not revealing Starly. That only leaves Blissey.
Pika25 switched in Blissey.
Blissey was hurt by Spikes! (12%)
Gorebyss used Hydro Pump.
Blissey lost 20% of its health.
Blissey used Softboiled.
Blissey restored 50% of its health.
And after the Softboiled, here comes four turns of Flamethrowers; I was probably hoping for something like a burn. At least the Brave Bird earlier softened up Gorebyss enough for four Flamethrowers to KO.
Gorebyss used Toxic.
Blissey was badly poisoned!
Blissey used Flamethrower.
It's not very effective...
Gorebyss lost 15% of its health.
And now Blissey is poisoned from Toxic, so the Toxic damage and Hydro Pumps would take out Blissey at the same time Gorebyss faints.
Gorebyss used Hydro Pump.
Blissey lost 18% of its health.
Blissey used Flamethrower.

Platypus's Gorebyss fainted.
Blissey is hurt by poison!
Blissey lost 22% of its health.
Pika25's Blissey fainted.
And there’s the double down. The score is 1-1, and we have yet to see each other’s final Pokémon; my final Pokémon is a Level 1 Endeavor Starly. I doubt he has a third ghost; I just pray to Arceus that his last Pokémon is not carrying a priority attack.
Platypus switched in Golduck.
Pika25 switched in Starly.
Golduck used Calm Mind.
Golduck's special attack was raised.
Golduck's special defence was raised.
Starly used Endeavor.
Golduck lost 96% of its health.
Golduck's Starf Berry sharply raised its attack!
And it turned out to be a CM Starf Golduck instead. Endeavor and Quick Attack FTW!
Golduck used Brine.
Starly lost 100% of its health.
Starly hung on using its Focus Sash!
Starly used Endeavor.
Golduck lost 3% of its health.
Starly used Quick Attack.

Platypus's Golduck fainted.
Pika25 wins 1-0!
Props:
The rain!
A double down.
Starly for saving the day.
Platypus for a good game.
Slops:
Sacrificing Gyarados to Thunder.
Misclick on Blissey instead of Skarmory, although it didn’t really matter.
Sacrificing Chomp to Spikes.
Random number generator for hating Chomp.
