OTNF - an overused warstory

OUWhorish Teams Never Fail
A warstory by 2old4thisshit also known as FREEGARCHOMP

Hello and welcome to the warstory called OTNF, OUWhorish Teams Never Fail. The reason I picked this name is because even though I made several mistakes in this battle, but I still won, thanks to my team being superior to his. What I mean with this is teams full of OU's, like mine may be annoying to face and people do complain about them, but you gotta admit they are effective. Anyway, this warstory is quite long (I think?) but I am certain it's entertaining! Enjoy.

This battle was a standard ladder battle against someone who we will be refering to as "anonymous". He didn't reply when I asked him, several times might I add, if he was fine with me making a warstory out of our battle. I think I know why though. Lol.

Our teams will be posted here, allowing you to get a better understanding why I made certain moves when you read the warstory

Let the battle begin!

FREEGARCHOMP sent out Metagross (lvl 100 Metagross).
anonymous sent out Smeargle (lvl 100 Smeargle ?).

Alright, a Smeargle lead. He probably wants to put me to sleep and then Baton Pass some boosts or a Substitute to something else. To prevent this... well my best option is to do some damage with Bullet Punch and then switch out to one of my fast Pokémons and finish him off.

Metagross used Bullet Punch.
Smeargle lost 64% of its health.
Smeargle used Spore.
Metagross fell asleep!

Just as planned. Let's go to my other priority user on this team; no prices for guessing.

FREEGARCHOMP switched in Scizor (lvl 100 Scizor ?).
anonymous switched in Forretress (lvl 100 Forretress ?).

Scizor can't do much to Forretress. I know he's gonna set up either Spikes, Toxic Spikes or Stealth Rock. Going to Heatran seems like a good move. But what about EQ? Well, Earthquake isn't always in Forretress's movelist and why would he use an offensive move instead of setting up? Heatran it is...

Scizor used U-turn.
It's not very effective...
Forretress lost 19% of its health.
FREEGARCHOMP switched in Heatran (lvl 100 Heatran ?).
Forretress used Earthquake.
It's super effective!
Heatran lost 92% of its health.

Damn. Damn, damn, damn. Good move from his side though. I know he won't stay in, so I'm gonna go with Earth Power.

anonymous switched in Vaporeon (lvl 100 Vaporeon ?).
Heatran used Earth Power.
Vaporeon lost 25% of its health.

dpiconani134.gif
- 81 %
VS
dpiconani485.gif
- 8 % - Locked into Earth Power

Vaporeon is like the ultimate Heatran counter. I can't, obviously, stay in. I'm sending in my Celebi who doesn't fear Vaporeon and in return, can inflict a lot of damage on it.

FREEGARCHOMP switched in Celebi (lvl 100 Celebi).
Vaporeon used Protect.
Vaporeon protected itself!

dpiconani134.gif
- 87 %
VS
dpiconani251.gif
- 100 %

Why would he use Protect when I had Heatran in? I guess he predicted an Explosion... Anyway, I have two options here: T-wave or Leech Seed. I decide to use the former one.

anonymous switched in Flygon (lvl 100 Flygon ?).
Celebi used Thunder Wave.
It doesn't affect Flygon...

And the mysterious dragon from the 3rd generation enters the scene and laughs at my pathetic atempts at paralysing it. Once again, a good move from his side. However, my Celebi is really bulky. Even a banded Flygon shouldn't OHKO me with U-Turn. So I'm just gonna use Recover after he U-Turns (I should be slower than him.).

Flygon used U-turn.
It's super effective!
Celebi lost 61% of its health.
anonymous switched in Smeargle (lvl 100 Smeargle ?).
Celebi used Recover.
Celebi restored 50% of its health.

dpiconani235.gif

VS
dpiconani251.gif
- 95 %

Now this is pretty cool. My Celebi has 95 % of its health left after a 4x effective attack hit it. And it's all thanks to Recover and Leftovers recovery. Also I don't fear his Smeargle, it can't put me to sleep thanks to sleep clause so I'm just gonna take it out...

Smeargle used Trick.
Smeargle obtained Leftovers!
Celebi obtained Choice Scarf!
Celebi used Grass Knot.
Smeargle lost 36% of its health.
anonymous' Smeargle fainted.

Oh. He had a scarfed Smeargle. I guess I should have predicted that...? My Celebi is now kind of useless, since the only offensive move it carries is Grass Knot.

anonymous switched in Forretress (lvl 100 Forretress ?).

I can't stay in since I'm locked into Grass Knot. Let's go back to Heatran and I'm praying he won't use EQ...

FREEGARCHOMP switched in Heatran (lvl 100 Heatran ?).
Forretress used Toxic Spikes.
Toxic Spikes were scattered around the foe's team!

dpiconani205.gif

VS
dpiconani485.gif

Toxic Spikes, huh? They're not a threat to my team. Only two of my Pokémons are affected: Suicune (he has Rest) and Celebi (Is scarfed at the moment, meaning I'll have to switch it out often.). I'm predicting a switch to Vaporeon so I'm using Hidden Power Grass...

anonymous switched in Vaporeon (lvl 100 Vaporeon ?).
Heatran used Hidden Power.
It's super effective!
Vaporeon lost 40% of its health.

dpiconani134.gif

Just as I predicted. I'm probably facing a Wish Vaporeon, since it has Protect and it'll use either Protect or Wish this turn so I'm going to my Scizor.

FREEGARCHOMP switched in Scizor (lvl 100 Scizor ?).
Vaporeon used Wish.
Vaporeon made a wish!

I'm pretty sure he'll Protect now, and since my Scizor is banded I do not wish to stay in...

FREEGARCHOMP switched in Latias (lvl 100 Latias ?).
Vaporeon used Surf.
It's not very effective...
Latias lost 10% of its health.
The wish came true!

Well I could continue with Suicune, I have Sleep Talk, but what I didn't realize until now was that he still has a Vaporeon. And I only carry Surf as an offensive attack. Time to get the Rocks of Stealth, or Stealth Rock, up...

FREEGARCHOMP switched in Metagross (lvl 100 Metagross).

A critical hit!

Flygon used Earthquake.
It's super effective!
Heatran lost 8% of its health.
FREEGARCHOMP's Heatran fainted.

I decided to stay in and there are two reasons why: My Heatran will die on the next switch in so I might as well use it as death fodder now to see what attack he will use and I will also find out if he has a banded or scarfed Flygon. Oh and since it outsped my scarfed Heatran, it's definetely scarfed...

Why, oh why did I use Light Screen instead of Reflect? I know he has a scarfed Flygon, but still I used Light Screen first?! Okay, I'm feeling way too confident so I'm staying in... hoping he'll use U-Turn again.

FREEGARCHOMP wins!
FREEGARCHOMP: :)
TacoBill: lol

And so, my opponent decided to run from the battle, but that was understandable!

Applaudes to:
Suicune, for being a reliable tank, as always. In this battle he also made the final move.
Celebi, for being a pain in the ass for the opponent, as always.
Heatran, for taking out the opponents Heatran with only 8 HP left.
Finally, my opponent, for playing really well, and for not using an OUWhorish team.

Okay, I think that's it! This was my first warstory ever! I hoped you guys enjoyed it, coz I sure enjoyed writing it! Tell me what I can improve so I can make the next warstory even better! For example if you found any errors please tell me so I can correct them!

Thanks for reading.
 
meh, it was an ok read but i wish you didnt actually mention the winner before the match started. The dc was also dissapointing, but its cool to see suicune doing so well.

Yeah you're right, I won't do that next time.

LegendKiller: Thanks for the tip, will keep that in mind next time.
 
It was an alright warstory. A bit to much "I got lucky" and bad play for it to be good though. It's funny how important Stealth Rock ended up being, given the effort you used to set it up.
 
No, Vaporeon wouldn't have won. Suicune could have stalled out all of Vaporeon's PP with Pressure.

But anyway, the comments were lacking and didn't show a lot of careful prediction or weighing your options. You made some bad mistakes like not staying in with Suicune to stall out Vaporeon the first time, and forgetting your Celebi was Scarfed twice.
 
Your opponent made a few good predictions, like with Forretress on Heatran. However, overall, I wish you would have written more about what you were thinking rather than summarizing the log.

Ah, true. I forgot Suicune had pressure.
 
Although the predications were so-so and the battle itself was OK,I really thought you could put some more effort on the comments

6.1/10 Its a decent try for a first warstory but i hope you make better warstorys in the future
 
um, that ending was VERY disappointing, this isn't usually the best type of stories to warstory....other than that I was ok with it, announcing the winner before the end is a big no no and takes all of the suspense out of it....but there wouldn't have been any suspense anyways.
