Tuesday Night Fight -- Discord vs Synecdoche (Warstory)

I saw a familiar face enter on ShoddyBattle. Currently I had more wins than he, 2 to be exact. This enemy was Synecdoche. I challenged him with my new team that is pretty standard. I had a feeling he'd use his fun team that caught me off guard before. And the battle began.

Discord's Standard Boring-ness:

Synecdoche sent out Aerodactyl.
Discord+ sent out Aerodactyl.
Aerodactyl is exerting its pressure!
Aerodactyl is exerting its pressure!


This is always a fun way to start a battle. Obviously I'm not staying in due to the 50% chance of him fucking me over by outspeeding me. I get unlucky at lot sometimes, so I made the obvious switch. I know my enemy has some trace of a brain, so I know he'd switch as well.

Synecdoche switched in Hippowdon.
Hippowdon's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!

A sandstorm brewed!

Cresselia's leftovers restored a little health!
Cresselia restored 6% of its health.


Fuck, Sandstorm doesn't exactly provide an advantage to my team, but I doubt Synec knew that considering my first two pokemon are pretty well off in Sandstorm. I knew he wasn't going to stay in to get hit by a Cresselia Ice Beam, so I used that sexual magic called prediction.

Synecdoche switched in Scizor.
Cresselia used Thunder Wave.
Scizor is paralysed! It may be unable to move!
The sandstorm rages.
Cresselia is buffetted by the sandstorm!
Cresselia lost 6% of its health.
Cresselia's leftovers restored a little health!
Cresselia restored 6% of its health.


Well, I do know to predict and it paid of very well. At times Scizor uses his pimp claw on my team, so I was very happy. I knew he was going to switch as he really didn't have much other option. Might as well switch too. Try to get my setup on.

Discord+ switched in Gyarados.
Gyarados's intimidate cut Scizor's attack!
Scizor used U-turn.

Aerodactyl used Stone Edge.
Gliscor lost 39% of its health.
The sandstorm rages.
Gliscor's leftovers restored a little health!
Gliscor restored 6% of its health.


Goddamn, that HAS to be CB, there's no other way in hell. I tried to make him think my Gliscor has Ice Fang. He must have been thinking that because I would have no other reason to switch in besides stalling him out of Stone Edges, which could easily be done with Roost.

Synecdoche switched in Drifblim.
Gliscor used Roost.
Gliscor restored 50% of its health.
The sandstorm rages.

Hmm, subDrifblim. Honestly, all that I was sure of is Thunderbolt, and possibly Baton Pass. I know that Ice Beams can tear down it's subs pretty easily. I know it's going to start SubStalling so I might as well IB them down.

Shitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshit. Alright, I have no idea how to handle this. It's at about ~38%, so it's going to BP now. I think...

Alright, it Subbed up one more time putting it in the 10% range. It CM'ed again, and I failed to destroy it's sub with Ice Beam. Now I'm in for a surprise that scared me shitless.

Drifblim's Salac Berry raised its speed!

Shit. Here come's the Baton Pass. I'm just going to go ahead and kill myself. Let's see who he BP's to.

Wow, this fucker hurts now. 2 Cm's and a Speed Boost Magnezone is NOTHING to scoff at, especially with Hidden Power. If this one has HP Ice, I'm in VERY deep shit.
Time to determine my fate.

Haha, thank you so much Jesus for HP Grass. Alright, I just extinguished a massive threat. And Drifblim is totally useless with no Salac or Lefties and about 18% HP. It's more like 5-4, me.

Yes, this is a win-lose situation. He's lost all of his major special attackers, BUT, my Blissey only has 13% and is Burned. I guess I'll have to give it up. Blissey, you did a nice job.

Alright, I barely came out of that IF, with enough to get him with SE. Too bad it was suicide for me too. If I outsped him, this match would have been a 3-0 on my part probably.

I know the UTurn damage was way too much but I only had about 20-something percent left so I'd lose regardless.

Synecdoche 1 - Discord 0

Props:
Not much, I'll tell you that.
- Gliscor for haxing Magnezone.
- Aero for surviving Synec's Aero IF and not gettinf swept by Aero.

Slops:
- Gyara Freeze
- Cress and Gyara not doing as much as I had hoped.
 
EQ did that less damage because you intimadated it with Gyarados. Good warstory but the big blocks of text got annoying. Next time, just don't mention sandstorm or leftovers unless it's necessary. I wonder what happens if you use U-Turn and you only have one pokemon left. I guess it just becomes a regular attack.
 
I forgot to ask, but I doubt it. A lot of Sciz's have SD/Agility.

EDIT: Lol, my post count is my birthday(411 = 4/11)
 
There was a bug on shoddy battle concerning the damage that U-Turn dealt, it was supposed to deal 43-53% damage to a no HP no Def Raikou, but well, Colin figured it out, there was a problem with the mechanics of Me First that pretty much broke the server. Anyhow. My scizor was Choice scarfed. :p
 
Interesting choice of item, why scarf? Scizor is pretty dirt slow if I recall correctly, and it wont outspeed the incredibly speedy stuff after CS.
 
Actually it outspeeds Timid Azelf with Jolly 252, but don't tell anyone that, it's pretty much my gambit to take. :] And it OHKO's with U-turn, so it's a pretty good Hit n' run option.
 
Lol, why does everyone say Jolly azelf instead of Hasty...

Anyway, what is Scizor's max speed at level 100 and the ev's you gave it?
 
Nice battle, though I don't like your team. I HATE Cresselia and Blissey on the same team. When I finally bring down one, I'm like "Phew, now Azelf/Porygon-Z/Lucario can sweep without trouble" then out comes the other.

So other then that little gripe, nice battle.
 
Heh. Cress/Bliss is nice. Cress is an awesome TWaver. Reflect is nice too. I used to be scared shitless of Medicham, but not too much anymore.

If you look at what i actually said >_> i said that Scizor outspeeds Timid Azelf using Jolly 252, which is what i use, Jolly 252/252

Bah, as an edit: wasted my 200th post on this "warstory" >_>;

So other then that little gripe, nice battle.
How exactly does Blissey stop Lucario from sweeping? Obviously Cresselia can, although most Lucario still have SE moves for it. I guess T-Wave is a problem, though.

Nice battle. Somehow, just somehow, I knew that Gyara freeze was coming. Something similar happened to me in one of my battles.
 
I reckon almost all of Synecdoche's battles on SB end up with close matches after hax in the middle - I haxed him heaps with my n00b team, so I guess he deserves some wins.
 
Lol i guess im the only person who doesnt have hax when versing Syn. Anyway good job on the warstory, I'm glad you started using your Raikou team more like I suggested but why did you get rid of Mesprit :(.

And id like to point out that this is the first time that Discord hasn't haxed like Jesus.

Lol, I haven't been haxed enough for a loss since forever.

To your other comment about why I used Cress > Mesprit, the TWave support is awesome and the ability to heal 50%, even if Moonlight has 5 PP. Also, better defensive capability(120/120/130 > 80/105/105) is useful. Also the added Reflect support is great.
 
ShoddyBattle was so messed up last night, U-Turn was like a OHKO on everything. The BP was set to 327 or something like that. Also, sleep on Shoddy last forever :pirate:.
Ahh, you were so close with Gyarados. Did you have a plan for Raikou? IIRC he didn't even come out until that last turn.
 
It would be somewhat suicidal to keep Raikou in on either Magnezone, Hippo, Aero, or Sciz(with bugged uturn damage). Also, no way I could switch in on Ninetales seeing that I'd get an OHKO Fire Blast.
