I wanted to make Hippowdon pretty useless for the match, but I failed sadly.
We had played a match just before this and I expected him to trick so I switched to my Choice Scarf Jirachi.

panamaxis: lol

My attempt to set up Stealth Rock succeeded, this'll come handy throughout the match. I'm assuming he Tricked expecting a switch.
I thought he would switch so I trick to no avail.

I guessed that Deoxys would be dead weight for the rest of the match, so I just tried to let off as much damage as I could. I guess he expected a switch again.
I didn’t think that Deoxys would stay in after setting up Stealth Rock, but yet again my over predictions fail.

I expected a switch, but he decided to attack, unfortunately.
I finally conclude that he won't switch and option for an Iron Head, so this time he overpredicts and I gain the advantage.

Deoxys was great, it weakened Jirachi slightly, while also providing support and setting up Stealth Rock. Good job Deoxys.
I’m 6-5 up, but Jirachi has lost about half his health and he has Stealth Rock up, so I'm not ahead by far.

---
My Gyarados easily survives that Jirachi's Iron Head, I decided to set up on it, to at least get one boost.
Gyarados is not good for me as I usually use Jirachi to cripple it, but being stuck on Iron Head is no use to me, so I switch to Cradily to hit it with a STAB super effective attack.
---
Gyarados* used Dragon Dance.
Gyarados*'s attack was raised.
Gyarados*'s speed was raised.

---
A Cradily, not much trouble, but if it has something like Stockpile, I'm dead. I decided to set up since I'd survive whatever it used.
Excellent, seeing as he didn’t attack and Rock Slide did over 50% I should be okay.

Damn. My best way to handle that beast is...Togekiss, since Gyarados is down.
There is no way I am leaving Cradily in against Gallade. I could switch to Gyarados to absorb the Close Combat, but I want to get Stealth Rock up as soon as possible so I switch to Hippowdon.

Crap, Yawn will hurt Togekiss badly. If he switches, I wasted one perfectly usable Pokemon. Please don't switch, so I can Grass Knot, sleep and die.
I decide to Yawn when I should have Stealth Rocked, but seeing as its Togekiss I should be able to live a hit, Stealth Rock and Slack Off the damage.

Togekiss wasn't doing too well, so I decided to switch to my physical wall. Great thing he didn't use Stone Edge. Phew.
Last time we played Torkoal exploded on Gyarados and I don't want to risk losing Gyarados or Gallade will sweep my team. I figure with a resistance to fire and Explosion, Heatran should be a good switch.
---
panamaxis switched in Heatran (lvl 100 Heatran ?).
Pointed stones dug into Heatran.

This is when the past hinders me. I knew he had a Gyarados, so I hoped it'd come in to take an Earth Power.
My hunch is correct as Torkoal explodes on Heatran, which I assume was aimed for Gyarados. I am up 5-3, but Diploman has the momentum.

I remembered from last match that he carried a Subbing Heatran. Lucky thing he didn't sub.
I completely forgot that Togekiss was asleep and I make a foolish move, choosing to use Flamethrower instead of Substitute. I am up 5-2 now and am feeling pretty confident that I can pull out the win.

---
I wanted to kill the Gyarados he had used last match, but killing Cradily was good enough.
From our last battle I know this Swampert is Choice Banded and it has the potential to take out all my remaining team members on a predicted switch. With Jirachi being too valuable I switch in Cradily, my least useful pokemon to take the hit.
2 - 3

---

Jirachi used Zen Headbutt.
Swampert lost 35% of its health.

---
Gallade did it's job, now it's all up to Swampert to do this.
I switch in Gyarados to take the Waterfall and I take out Gallade with my own Waterfall. I am up 2-1 and he shouldn’t be able to take out both Jirachi and Gyarados because of his Choice Band.
1 - 2

---
Thanks, Sandstorm! The final showdown, Jirachi and Swampert...I'm dead.
No point in switching out now. I Waterfall Swampert for some good damage, which puts it in kill range for Zen Headbutt. Even if Zen Headbutt misses, Stone Edge won’t OHKO, so we say our good games as we both know what will happen next.

panamaxis: oh well
Wow...I actually won! It critted, and Zen Headbutt missed...what's the chance of that? Good Game.
Are.....you...kidding...me? I am in shock. I couldn’t believe it. Jirachi misses with Zen Headbutt and Swampert critical hits Jirachi to take me out, leaving the final score as 1-0 to Diploman. It was a great game, with little hax until the end, but on the upside, it makes one unexpected twist to a great battle. Congratulations to Diploman for pulling out the win and for one of the best battles I’ve ever had.

I wanted to kill the Gyarados he had used last match, but killing Cradily was good enough.
From our last battle I know this Swampert is Choice Banded and it has the potential to take out all my remaining team members on a predicted switch. With Jirachi being too valuable I switch in Cradily, my least useful pokemon to take the hit.

I was pretty sure Gallade would live Zen Headbutt, and fortunately, it did. Jirachi, prepare to feel a whole new level of pain.
I still don’t want to risk Gyarados to a Stone Edge so I switch in Jirachi to revenge kill it.

Yes! 1 down, 2 to go. Swampert and Gallade are all I have left. This is close to hopeless...
I try to take out Gallade, but incomes Swampert which takes quite a bit from Zen Headbutt.

Gallade did it's job, now it's all up to Swampert to do this.
I switch in Gyarados to take the Waterfall and I take out Gallade with my own Waterfall. I am up 2-1 and he shouldn’t be able to take out both Jirachi and Gyarados because of his Choice Band.

Thanks, Sandstorm! The final showdown, Jirachi and Swampert...I'm dead.
No point in switching out now. I Waterfall Swampert for some good damage, which puts it in kill range for Zen Headbutt. Even if Zen Headbutt misses, Stone Edge won’t OHKO, so we say our good games as we both know what will happen next.

Are.....you...kidding...me? I am in shock. I couldn’t believe it. Jirachi misses with Zen Headbutt and Swampert critical hits Jirachi to take me out, leaving the final score as 1-0 to Diploman. It was a great game, with little hax until the end, but on the upside, it makes one unexpected twist to a great battle. Congratulations to Diploman for pulling out the win and for one of the best battles I’ve ever had.
