Hey everyone, and welcome to Outprediction: An OU Warstory. I'm Maci12, but in the course of the Warstory, I used my best Shoddy account; Gym Leader Jake.
WhiteDahlia and I had a great battle that was a constant back and forth to see who could outpredict the other. The result was a battle that kept me at the edge of my seat until the end, and I hope it has the same effect on you. This is my first Warstory, and I hope you enjoy it !

=========================
WhiteDahlia sent out Starmie (lvl 100 Starmie).
Gym Leader Jake sent out Infernape (lvl 100 Infernape ?).
Infernape used Fake Out.
Starmie lost 17% of its health.
Starmie flinched
=========================
I'm a fan of the Infernape lead. With Focus Sash, you always get to setup SR (unless taunted), which is always a plus.
Starmie's are usually Choice Scarf/Specs, so whatever attack he uses next will most likely be locked.

=========================
Starmie used Surf.
It's super effective!
Infernape lost 100% of its health.
Infernape hung on using its Focus Sash!
Infernape used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!
=========================
This turn was expected. Since he's most likely locked into Surf, I'm switching to Vaporeon to absorb it and force a change.

=========================
Gym Leader Jake switched in Vaporeon (lvl 100 Vaporeon ?).
Starmie used Surf.
=========================
Most Starmie's pack Thunderbolt in their arsenal, but I gave this Vaporeon enough EVs so that Un-STAB Thunderbolt would be a 3-4HKO, so Fake Tears will get setup. If this Starmie is Choice, it'll switch and, Vappy's counter will be -2 SpD.

=========================
WhiteDahlia switchd in Zapdos (lvl 100 Zapdos).
Zapdos is exerting its pressure!
Pointed stones dug into Zapdos.
Zapdos lost 25% of its health.
Vaporeon used Fake Tears.
Zapdos's special defence was harshly lowered.
Zapdos's leftovers restored its health a little!
Zapdos restored 6% of its health.
=========================
Starmie is DEFINITELY Choice something. And Zapdos is in for a rude awakening when he is OHKO'd by Ice Beam next round. I LOVE Fake Tears Vaporeon; it is one of the most reliable pokemon, and seldom seen, so not expected. It usually guarentees me 2 kills.
-100%
-81% (-2 SDef)
=========================
Zapdos used Discharge.
It's super effective!
Vaporeon lost 54% of its health.
Vaporeon used Ice Beam.
It's super effective!
Zapdos lost 81% of its health.
WhiteDahlia's Zapdos fainted.
Vaporeon lost 10% of its health.
=========================
SURPRISE! I don't think he saw it coming, that or he though that he would OHKO her.

WhiteDahlia switched in Tyranitar (lvl 100 Tyranitar ?).
Tyranitar's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!
A sandstorm brewed!
Pointed stones dug into Tyranitar.
Tyranitar lost 12% of its health.
Tyranitar used Dragon Dance.
Tyranitar's attack was raised.
Tyranitar's speed was raised.
Vaporeon used Fake Tears.
Tyranitar's special defence was harshly lowered.
The sandstorm rages.
Vaporeon is buffetted by the sandstorm!
Vaporeon lost 6% of its health.
=========================
I had anticipated a DDitar, as there are few other Tyranitar's that would even think about coming in on Vaporeon. I'm not sure if I can OHKO with STAB Surf, so I Fake Tears with someone in mind. Anyways, Vaporeon is deathfodder to Tyranitar now.

Tyranitar used Crunch.
Vaporeon lost 30% of its health.
Gym Leader Jake's Vaporeon fainted.

=========================
Predictable enough; if he had Dragon Danced again, he would've been OHKOd by Surf.

WhiteDahlia's Tyranitar fainted.
Azelf lost 10% of its health.
The sandstorm rages.
Azelf is buffetted by the sandstorm!
Azelf lost 6% of its health.
=========================
Tyranitar is so slow that not even a DD can boost him past Timid Azelf. This Azelf is Nasty Plot, so a target with -2 SDef is prime killings for Azelf.

Gym Leader Jake's Azelf fainted.

Starmie is buffetted by the sandstorm!
Starmie lost 6% of its health.
=========================
I'm fairly certain at this point that this is a SpecsMie, and that I lost the speed tie with her, because a ScarfMie doesn't often OHKO Azelf, even though he doesn't have fantastic SDef. Regardless, losing Azelf is a heavy blow to me.

Starmie lost 6% of its health.
Breloom is buffetted by the sandstorm!
Breloom was badly poisoned!

Gliscor restored 6% of its health.
=========================
I got a free DD out of that switch, but I never like Gliscor's and I don't have a reliable attack that can OHKO him. (my set is DD, Outrage, Earthquake, and Fire Blast) Since he hasn't brough out a steel yet, that probably means he has one waiting to absorb Outrage, but still, I will at least kill something.

Salamence is buffetted by the sandstorm!
Salamence lost 6% of its health.
=========================
My first thought when I saw Lucario was: Oh, I was right, here's the steel, and then when this happened I was SO happy.
Clearly Lucario doesn't pack the defenses to take on a +1 Outrage w/ Life Orb equipped, which is nice, especially since he didn't expect it. My theory is that he was Sword Dancing, thinking he'd survive the Outrage, and then going to get a +2 Extreme speed on me. But that didn't work out =).

Iron Head failed me when I needed it most =(. And now what I have against what I think may be a Mixnape is my own Infernape with 1% health left. This worries me because some variants of Mixnape carry Vacuum Wave to be boosted by Nasty Plot. It won't take much to kill my Infernape. However, weather + Jirachi + Life Orb puts him within OHKO range of my Infernape. This is going to be close.
