Random Craziness - Me vs. Seiken [Warstory]

The Random Battle tab on Shoddy Battle often produces the most interesting and fun matches of the day. One thing that it rarely gives, though, are close, competitive matches. This time, though, a close, competitive match was exactly what I got... but it was fun, too, of course.

Rules: Random Battle
Seiken sent out Spheal (lvl 100 Spheal ?).
articuno1508 sent out Kadabra (lvl 100 Kadabra ?).
Kadabra used Shock Wave.
It's super effective!
Spheal lost 73% of its health.
Spheal used Waterfall.
Kadabra lost 37% of its health.

Ah, Kadabra, a good lead for random battles any day. A quick Super-Effective hit on the opponent left me with a large advantage.

Seiken switched in Chansey (lvl 100 Chansey ?).
Kadabra used Shock Wave.
Chansey lost 10% of its health.

Oh no! My opponent had switched to the special sweeper's greatest threat! But this Random Kadabra was no purely special sweeper...

Kadabra used Drain Punch.
It's super effective!
Chansey lost 25% of its health.
Kadabra absorbed health!
Kadabra restored 36% of its health.
Chansey used Shadow Ball.
It's super effective!
Kadabra lost 42% of its health.

A quick Spoon Punch had left Chansey reeling and had allowed me to recover some health. Unfortunately, a Shadow Ball was no laughing matter for Kadabra, either, but I was still a greater threat to the fat, pink you-know-what than it was to me.

Seiken switched in Togekiss (lvl 100 Togekiss ?).
Kadabra used Drain Punch.
Togekiss lost 7% of its health.
Kadabra absorbed health!
Kadabra restored 4% of its health.

A good switch by the opponent. But didn't he remember that I had Shock Wave to hit him Super-Effective? That birdy was going to be no problem...

Togekiss used Extremespeed.
Kadabra lost 52% of its health.
Kadabra used Shock Wave.
It's super effective!
Togekiss lost 32% of its health.

That birdy turned out to be a problem. I had a huge dent in my HP, and only about 25% was left. Kadabra could be useful later on, so I decided to switch out.

articuno1508 switched in Turtwig (lvl 100 Turtwig ?).
Togekiss used Extremespeed.
Turtwig lost 32% of its health.

A nice bit of damage, but nothing too bad.

Togekiss used Sky Attack.
Togekiss is glowing!
Turtwig used Secret Power.
Togekiss lost 13% of its health.
Togekiss's Mago Berry restored its health a little!
Togekiss restored 12% of its health.
The berry was the wrong flavour for Togekiss!
Togekiss became confused!

This...was unexpected, to say the very least. Togekiss had double physical-STAB. The berry confusion was a nice bit of LOL, though, so I decided to stay in on the hopes that Togekiss would hurt itself trying to fly.

articuno1508: lol
Seiken: lame
Seiken: lol
Togekiss is confused!
Togekiss used Sky Attack.
Togekiss's attack missed!
Turtwig used Secret Power.
Togekiss lost 14% of its health.

What actually happened was not confusion, but a different type of hax. I decided that I would stay in to try to Paralyze Togekiss and maybe KO it, as well.

Seiken: miss.... 0_o
Togekiss snapped out of confusion!
Togekiss used Softboiled.
Togekiss restored 50% of its health.
Turtwig used Secret Power.
Togekiss lost 14% of its health.

Well, that just destroyed all my hopes of KOing that thing. I can still keep going for Paralysis, though...

articuno1508: my team has 3 grasses
Togekiss used Sky Attack.
Togekiss is glowing!
Turtwig used Secret Power.
Togekiss lost 15% of its health.

Darn, my team doesn't have any flying resists! I guess I'll have to sacrifice this one.

Togekiss used Sky Attack.
It's super effective!
Turtwig lost 113% of its health.
articuno1508's Turtwig fainted.

6-5 Seiken. Right now, Wailmer is my best hope of stopping Togekiss.

articuno1508 switched in Wailmer (lvl 100 Wailmer ?).
Seiken switched in Chansey (lvl 100 Chansey ?).
Wailmer used Frustration.
Chansey lost 35% of its health.

But he switched out! Was it a sacrifice? Did he just want to try to get my Togekiss counter out of the way?

Chansey used Seismic Toss.
Wailmer lost 26% of its health.
Wailmer used Frustration.
Chansey lost 36% of its health.
Seiken's Chansey fainted.

5-5. Wow, a Seismic Toss Chansey in Random. I can't believe it!

Seiken switched in Clamperl (lvl 100 Clamperl ?).
articuno1508 switched in Kadabra (lvl 100 Kadabra ?).
Clamperl used Clamp.
Kadabra lost 43% of its health.
articuno1508's Kadabra fainted.

5-4 Seiken. I assumed Clamperl would try to set up or something, as is often the case in Random, but instead, my Kadabra met a gruesome end in the jaws of a tiny pink shell creature. I didn't expect such a powerful hit from that thing, though. Was it holding a DeepSeaTooth?

articuno1508 switched in Deoxys-f (lvl 100 Deoxys-f).
Deoxys-f is exerting its pressure!
articuno1508: aww
articuno1508: bad moveset
articuno1508: sort of
Seiken: lol
Seiken: I have cb
articuno1508 switched in Bellossom (lvl 100 Bellossom ?).
Clamperl used Clamp.
It's not very effective...
Bellossom lost 8% of its health.
Bellossom was clamped!
Bellossom is hurt by Clamp!
Bellossom lost 6% of its health.

My Deoxys was incapable of hurting Clamperl. So I switched to my next best option.

Seiken switched in Spheal (lvl 100 Spheal ?).
Bellossom used Substitute.
Bellossom lost 25% of its health.
Bellossom made a substitute!

I predicted a switch or a set up, so I Substituted to scout. He again sent in his lead, but this time it was a sacrifice.

Bellossom used Frustration.
Spheal lost 42% of its health.
Seiken's Spheal fainted.

4-4. No comment

Seiken switched in Slaking (lvl 100 Slaking ?).
Slaking used Double-edge.
The substitute took damage for Bellossom!
Bellossom's substitute faded!
Slaking was hit by recoil!
Slaking lost 12% of its health.
Bellossom used Leaf Storm.
Slaking lost 42% of its health.
Bellossom's special attack was harshly lowered.

That could kill me if I'm not careful. I'd better KO him when I can.

articuno1508 switched in Deoxys-f (lvl 100 Deoxys-f).
Deoxys-f is exerting its pressure!
Slaking is loafing around!

Seiken's Slaking fainted.

3-3. Base 180 SpAtk versus base 65 SpDef. The Defense wins and survives to OHKO the Uber. How surprising.

Seiken switched in Spearow (lvl 100 Spearow ?).
articuno1508 switched in Budew (lvl 100 Budew ?).
Spearow used Aerial Ace.
It's super effective!
Budew lost 89% of its health.
Budew's Poison Point poisoned Spearow!
Budew used Sludge Bomb.
Spearow lost 115% of its health.
Seiken's Spearow fainted.

3-2 Me. Big hits by both sides, and another surprising outcome. Budew survives a super-effective hit from Spearow and lives to OHKO it.

Seiken switched in Togekiss (lvl 100 Togekiss ?).
Togekiss used Extremespeed.
Budew lost 56% of its health.
articuno1508's Budew fainted.

Togekiss used Softboiled.
Togekiss restored 50% of its health.
Wailmer used Frustration.
Togekiss lost 20% of its health.

Nothing I had left could damage that thing for more than 50%. I was doomed, unless I could PP stall for a long enough time.

More stalling... but wait! Why the Clamperl switch? Was it just an attempt to get rid of my Substitute?

Bellossom used Leaf Storm.
It's super effective!
Clamperl lost 186% of its health.
Seiken's Clamperl fainted.
Bellossom's special attack was harshly lowered.

1-1. This was going to end in two Pokémon rolling around on the floor in an attempt to hit each other.

articuno1508: this is worthy of a battle log
Togekiss used Attract.
But it failed!
Bellossom used Frustration.
Togekiss lost 19% of its health.

This is advantageous: Togekiss has run out of PP for Extremespeed and Sky Attack at just the right time! Unfortunately, my health was also down to a measely 14%. Time for more stalling...

Two crits in a row. Interesting. I guess that helped to drain Softboiled's PP faster than my Frustration's PP was being drained.

articuno1508: I'll warstory this
Seiken: haha
Seiken has left the room.

Victor: Seiken!


Props:
-This was a Random Battle on Shoddy. :naughty:
-Kadabra scared away Chansey.
-Physical Togekiss sweep.
-Seiken was a good opponent.

Slops:
-My team had no Flying resists.
-Glitchy Shoddy.
-Deoxys-A did only 37% damage to Slaking using Ice Beam.
 
The first thing I noticed: wtf Deoxys-A next to Budew and Turtwig? Second thing, wow, even though the Random battle spat it out at your opponent, I'm not the only one to use physical Togekiss (don't overlook Hustle)! Third thing, you easily could have put "and several turns later, our Frustrations, Softboileds, and Extremespeeds were stall out and Togekiss died to Bellossom" to save a little time.

It's always interesting to read random battles, though.
 
more like Bellawesome

I still prefer CC from Netbattle since it included level balance, which is kind of needed in a format where you have stuff like Pidgey vs Salamence lol
 
You and me have the only random warstories that I know of. Good battle, I thought you would win. Next random warstory I post Im not showing the teams.
