Comments will be quoted
In-Game Chat will be italic

JS Bach sent out Manaphy (lvl 100 Manaphy).
gene sent out Metagross (lvl 100 Metagross).

JS Bach: I got beaten a few minutes ago by a Clamperl

Alright so this match started out him saying that quote, so I thought this would be an easy match. Right of the bat he has Manaphy lead which is uncommon. I need to stay in to lay down SR because I know Surf will fail to OHKO me.

Manaphy used Rain Dance.
Rain began to fall!
Metagross used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around your foe's team!
The rain continues to fall.

Alright so right here didn't use surf. I know it's trouble when he brings out Rain Dance. I know a water move is coming next so my first instinct would be switching out to a water type. I know it's a lead so it must have support moves limiting its type coverage.

gene switched in Manaphy (lvl 100 Manaphy).
Manaphy used Waterfall.
It's not very effective...
A critical hit!
Manaphy lost 45% of its health.
The rain continues to fall.
Manaphy's leftovers restored its health a little!
Manaphy restored 6% of its health.

Wow .. I didn't expect that. Physical Manaphy was in the back of my mind. I didn't mind it until I saw "critical hit!" which dealt 45% From this point I'm thinking about physical moves it posseses, I briefly check the list and the possibilities are Waterfall and U-Turn

Manaphy used Substitute.
Manaphy lost 25% of its health.
Manaphy made a substitute!
Manaphy used U-turn.
The substitute took damage for Manaphy!
JS Bach switched in Jolteon (lvl 100 Jolteon ?).
Pointed stones dug into Jolteon.
Jolteon lost 12% of its health.
The rain continues to fall.
Manaphy's leftovers restored its health a little!
Manaphy restored 6% of its health.

So he U-Turned me and I was right it's poor damage failed to remove my sub. This allows me to scout hit next switch. Jolteon comes in which is perfect, it is one of my biggest threats to my team. So Surf is a must

Jolteon used Shadow Ball.
The substitute took damage for Manaphy!
Manaphy's substitute faded!
Manaphy used Surf.
Jolteon lost 67% of its health.
The rain continues to fall.
Manaphy's leftovers restored its health a little!
Manaphy restored 6% of its health.

He broke my sub and I'm pretty much on a good position here because Jolteon doesn't have any healing moves and 67% is a lot. I obviously need to switch out but this dude seemed like an over predictor. Switching out to Flygon and catching me with something like Hp [Ice] would suck balls.

gene switched in Flygon (lvl 100 Flygon ?).
Jolteon used Shadow Ball.
Flygon lost 53% of its health.
The rain continues to fall.

I took my chances because overall who the hell would Hp [Ice] a Manaphy on the verge of death? It carved 53% which is alright. If I'm not mistaken this dude is scarfed so I had the upper hand. I can U-Turn my way out of this to scout for his switch in. If he decided to stay in it would be a OHKO anyways.

JS Bach switched in Manaphy (lvl 100 Manaphy).
Pointed stones dug into Manaphy.
Manaphy lost 12% of its health.
Flygon used U-turn.
Manaphy lost 23% of its health.
gene switched in Lucario (lvl 100 Lucario ?).
The rain continues to fall.

This dude took 23%, so he must have Hp Ev's invested. This means he might have less speed invested or less attack invested.

Manaphy used Waterfall.
Lucario lost 86% of its health.
Lucario used Close Combat.
A critical hit!
Manaphy lost 65% of its health.
JS Bach's Manaphy fainted.
(5-6)
Lucario's defence was lowered.
Lucario's special defence was lowered.
Lucario lost 10% of its health.
The rain continues to fall.

JS Bach: srsly?
gene: ?
JS Bach: with 252 atk EVs
JS Bach: in the rain
gene: yep.

So I came in, I don't know.. I had a brain fart or my testicles just dropped but I decided to stay in on Rain Dance + Waterfall. So it carved up 87%, at that point I was happy because I was able to unleash my Close Combat. Life Orb took out 10% so this guy is below 10% now. Looking at the reaction I too was baffled.

JS Bach switched in Scizor (lvl 100 Scizor ?).
Pointed stones dug into Scizor.
Scizor lost 12% of its health.
Scizor used Bullet Punch.
It's not very effective...
Lucario lost 4% of its health.
gene's Lucario fainted.
(5-5)
The rain stopped.

Alright so far so good, he didn't bring out any rain dance sweepers. Scizor comes in of course. I'm debating in my head if he's going to use Bullet Punch or U-Turn. U-Turn would bring him to an appropriate counter and I'm guessing this guy is CB'ed. I went with Close Combat because Bullet Punch means Manaph or Gyarados could set up without breakin' a sweat. The rain stop which is a +1.

gene switched in Manaphy (lvl 100 Manaphy).
Manaphy used Tail Glow.
Manaphy's special attack was sharply raised.
Scizor used U-turn.
Manaphy lost 35% of its health.
JS Bach switched in Jolteon (lvl 100 Jolteon ?).
Pointed stones dug into Jolteon.
Jolteon lost 12% of its health.
Manaphy's leftovers restored its health a little!
Manaphy restored 6% of its health.

Alright this dude was not Choice Banded. No leftovers, so the possibilities are expert belt or Shed Shell. If it's Shed Shell it won't do jacksh!t to me because I don't have a trapper. He caught me off guard and I know Jolteon is coming. I took 35% and I'm forced to switch out now.

gene: :[

Jolteon used Shadow Ball.
Manaphy lost 19% of its health.
gene's Manaphy fainted.
(5-4)

It's at low health I don't want to loose another pokemon with tons of HP so I decided to stay in and attempt to revenge kill with Flygon.

gene switched in Flygon (lvl 100 Flygon ?).
Flygon used U-turn.
Jolteon lost 8% of its health.
JS Bach's Jolteon fainted.
(4-4)
gene switched in Jolteon (lvl 100 Jolteon ?).

U-Turn is the obvious choice, if I chosed Outrage or Earthquake, it sounded too set up prone because I didn't see enough of his pokemon. U-Turn is appropriate and going to my Jolteon is my #1 choice, because it has high speed.

JS Bach switched in Bronzong (lvl 100 Bronzong).
Pointed stones dug into Bronzong.
Bronzong lost 6% of its health.
Jolteon used Thunderbolt.
Bronzong lost 40% of its health.
Jolteon lost 10% of its health.
Bronzong used Earthquake.
It's super effective!
Jolteon lost 89% of its health.

Bronzong comes and this bell has dropped usage since Platinum stepped in earth's surface. What can he possibly have it for is what I ask. SR is a big possibility because he didn't drop one yet. Dual Screen is my first instinct. His choice of attacks would probably be Gyro Ball and Explosion. But no... he had earthquake and I managed to take up 40% orbed. Which means it is heavily invested with SpD Ev's. It failed to OHKO so that's good. I can unleash another one or go to gyarados. It COULD result to Bronzong exploding so I decided to stay in - I dont want to loose Gyarados.

JS Bach switched in Scizor (lvl 100 Scizor ?).
Pointed stones dug into Scizor.
Scizor lost 12% of its health.
Jolteon used Thunderbolt.
Scizor lost 61% of its health.
Jolteon lost 1% of its health.
gene's Jolteon fainted.
(4-3)

I went for the Thunderbolt and he surprisingly switched to Scizor which is a +1. This puppy is dead but it served well for me. The switch in is obvious

gene switched in Gyarados (lvl 100 Gyarados ?).
Gyarados's intimidate cut Scizor's attack!
Gyarados used Dragon Dance.
Gyarados's attack was raised.
Gyarados's speed was raised.
Scizor used U-turn.
It's not very effective...
Gyarados lost 16% of its health.
JS Bach switched in Bronzong (lvl 100 Bronzong).
Pointed stones dug into Bronzong.
Bronzong lost 6% of its health.

I went for the damn Gyarados here, I mean c'mon? It's not CB'ed and I could Intimidate it. Dragon Dance is my obvious choice here. This dude U-Turn's to Bronzong. Which could lead to one thing..

Gyarados used Bounce.
Gyarados bounced up!
Bronzong used Explosion.
Bronzong's attack missed!
JS Bach's Bronzong fainted.
(3-3)

JS Bach: asdfsdaf
JS Bach: sadfs
JS Bach: asf
JS Bach: asfsdfdfsd
JS Bach: afsdfsdfsdfasdfas
JS Bach: sadfasdfasdfsdfa
gene: lol
JS Bach: is that a glitch?
gene: no

I mean why not? I used Bounce because I fear Explosion. It was either Explosion or Hypnosis. I was right - I dodged the dude and managed to destroy Bronzong without even laying a finger on it. You could tell by his reaction that he was goin' nuts.

JS Bach switched in Scizor (lvl 100 Scizor ?).
Pointed stones dug into Scizor.
Scizor lost 12% of its health.
Gyarados used Bounce.
Gyarados's attack missed!
Scizor used Rain Dance.
Rain began to fall!
The rain continues to fall.

Jesus Christ, so it misses. Which would have been a OHKO. I knew he would be death fodder but only to unleash his Rain Dance. This is trouble. I had a debate between Dragon Dance to outspeed what he has in-store for me.

Gyarados used Waterfall.
Scizor lost 1% of its health.
JS Bach's Scizor fainted.
(2-3)
Gyarados lost 10% of its health.
The rain continues to fall.

gene: epic miss right there.
JS Bach: that's why I only use 100% accurate moves
gene: it means your safe player .. lol.

I went with Waterfall, I was stupid because I knew Scizor's attack wouldn't hurt me. Right now I'm bitin' my nails to see what he has coming after he unleashed Rain Dance.

JS Bach switched in Ludicolo (lvl 100 Ludicolo ?).
Pointed stones dug into Ludicolo.
Ludicolo lost 12% of its health.
Ludicolo used Seed Bomb.
Gyarados lost 50% of its health.
Ludicolo lost 10% of its health.
Gyarados used Bounce.
Gyarados bounced up!
The rain continues to fall.

I knew it. There I am trembling in fear. I am leading right now and a possibilities of Ludicolo sweep is scary. Hp [Electric] or grass Knot would hurt me. Wow! he used Seed Bomb which is a +1 because it won't do as much as Grass Knot or HP [Electric]. I rely on Bounce's accuracy to damage this mofo. As I stay on the sky I wait and see what he has in store for me. A switch out? a miss? ..

Ludicolo used Swords Dance.
Ludicolo's attack was sharply raised.
Gyarados used Bounce.
It's super effective!
Ludicolo lost 78% of its health.
JS Bach's Ludicolo fainted.
(1-3)
Gyarados lost 10% of its health.
The rain continues to fall.

Talk about power hungry he decides to use Swords Dance because the accuracy is not promising. It hits and I'm on a verge of killing this guy. 1-3 is the score.

JS Bach switched in Qwilfish (lvl 100 Qwilfish ?).
Pointed stones dug into Qwilfish.
Qwilfish lost 12% of its health.
gene switched in Metagross (lvl 100 Metagross).
Qwilfish used Poison Jab.
It doesn't affect Metagross...
The rain continues to fall.

Well, this dude is dead. Poison Jab is coming. Wait.. Poison Jab? I still have my Metagross in store for me. That was my switch in. I don't know his vibe felt like he lost so he might Explode for fun to give up or Poison Jab. I know for usre he won't waterfall. So I switch in to Metagross and I was right. Hesitating to say gg .. and this happened.

Qwilfish used Waterfall.
Metagross lost 57% of its health.
Qwilfish lost 10% of its health.
Metagross flinched!
The rain continues to fall.
Metagross's leftovers restored its health a little!
Metagross restored 6% of its health.

gene: woww

I flinch which sucks major balls. Right now he's on his toes because he feels his victory is coming while my pokemon logo is on a verge of getting "6 x's"

gene switched in Gyarados (lvl 100 Gyarados ?).
Gyarados's intimidate cut Qwilfish's attack!
Qwilfish used Waterfall.
It's not very effective...
Gyarados lost 14% of its health.
gene's Gyarados fainted.
(1-2)
Qwilfish lost 10% of its health.
The rain continues to fall.

JS Bach: you'll still win

No sweat I say, hax in the end was nothing. I switch out to Gyarados to activate Intimidate. I stall rain dance time, I made his loose 10% which is a +1. As he screams those last 3 words I had a smirk on my face and I know Metagross wouldn't die unless it flinches.

gene switched in Metagross (lvl 100 Metagross).
Qwilfish used Waterfall.
Metagross lost 36% of its health.
Qwilfish lost 10% of its health.
Metagross used Explosion.
Qwilfish lost 58% of its health.
JS Bach's Qwilfish fainted.
(0-2)
gene wins!
gene: gg
JS Bach: gg

So it didn't flinch and the final victory is I. gg JS Bach

JS Bach has left the room. KC Keybladespartan has entered the room.
KC Keybladespartan has left the room.

Conclusion:

That was a great match, I believe it was one of the first suspect games I played for Manaphy testing. That's it for now, this my first war story.

Props:

-Using a Manaphy lead which confused me.
-Faking me out with non CB'd Scizor and took of huge chunks of Manaphy and left me baffled.
-Metagross prediction by my part.

Slops:

-Bronzong switching out to Scizor
-Explosion on a Gyarados
-Not using Dragon Dance on Scizor when I had a chance to.

GG JC Bach

 

[supermarth64]

Not the greatest comments (didn't bother reading the battle), but it was mostly you narrating.

 

[diinbong]

You probably should have known the Jolteon was Choiced when it didn't recover anything from the Stealth Rock damage. Had you taken advantage of this you could have gotten rid of it then and there, or at least switched in something immune or not taking much damage from it rather than Flygon. I say this because this is where I stopped reading.

 

[reyscarface]

Agreeing with Diinbong. Some mistakes and the hax were the things that made it seem "close". Also, the comments just said "which is a +1" or "This is bad".
Anyways it was a decent warstory.

 

[Kijin]

The only really interesting aspect of the story was the use of different movesets. Much of your commentary was hard to follow or poorly written and there were some obvious formatting errors in the log itself.
It's a lot of issues that I'm sure you can improve in the next story.
