Facility The Legend Gauntlet: Raikou (Maxim vs chuckeroo777)

[HydrogenHydreigon]

Now fixed I believe

 

[chuckeroo777]

Well this is awkward.

Chitter... (Calculating... I think I am your best chance at victory.)
Hard switching to Metagross@Muscle Band
Counter switch?

 

[Maxim]

"Heh, you're not gonna stop me that easily. Everything has gone according to plan!"

"Even the flinch?"

"...Okay I may need to make a massive course correction but we're fine. Itzanma, let's show this guy who is boss! And take this Life Orb with you."

"Life Orb Drive installed. I have the power!"

Counterswitching to Zygarde-50% with Life Orb

Earthquake~Thousand Waves~Earthquake
If successful Protective move, then use Safeguard first instance and Coil second instance, pushing actions back each time.
If your opponent is in the Hovering status when you are to use Earthquake, then use Thousand Arrows instead.
[Once] If Confusion-inflicting move and you are faster and you have not used Safeguard earlier this round, then use Safeguard.

 

[chuckeroo777]

Well this sucks. If this were any other Dragon/Ground type, this would be an easy win, but between thousand arrows and the sheer bulk, I don't really see a way out of this one.

Chitter... (Calculating... I could try an Icy Wind/Iron Head strategy, but it would deal pitiful damage. I think our only real chance is hoping for lucky freezes.)

[Maxim]

Slight correction, I used Thousand Waves A2 not Thousand Arrows. Should be the same damage and everything but Waves should make Metagross Trapped. This may be relevant but probably not.

 

[HydrogenHydreigon]

Fixed

Hopefully MONKE can seal the deal. Time to go out with a bang!

Erm. Chuck I think you may have forgotten what format we are playing here. Regardless I guess I’ll order as if we are playing a normal battle, just in case I’m the fool.
