Well, the rise in popularity of Shoddy Battle is a double-edged sword. The good news is that there are more battles to be had, and most of the glitches are gone. (My team is officially missing nothing now that my CBchomp has Outrage) The bad news is… the lag. Also, I’ve seen some prejudice rising against Shoddy Battlers that I don’t quite understand. Not everyone is committed enough to spend so many hours raising a Wifi team, you know. Some people just want fast action.
At any rate, this is my third warstory; another epic battle with my usual team. So here we go…
My Team:
Araj’s Team:
Like all my other warstories, I won’t give you the opponent’s team until after the battle. It adds to the suspense that way.
And so the battle started:
~NF sent out Yanmega.
Araj sent out Gyarados.
Gyarados's intimidate cut Yanmega's attack!
I can deal with Gyarados; I’ve done it before. My Yanmega can outspeed most Gyarados and sleep them before they get the chance to do anything. Which is exactly what happens:
Yanmega used Hypnosis.
Gyarados fell asleep!
Gyarados is fast asleep!
Yanmega's Speed Boost raised its speed!
With a Speed Boost under my belt, I should be ready to deal with whatever Araj wants to throw at me… hopefully.
Araj switched in Skarmory.
Yanmega used Air Slash.
It's not very effective...
A critical hit!
Skarmory lost 53% of its health!
Skarmory's leftovers restored a little health!
Yanmega's Speed Boost raised its speed!
Needless to say, I did not predict Skarmory. Luckily, I put a good dent in it, because I’d probably need to switch otherwise.
I’m thinking that since Araj brought in Skarmory, he’s going to try and WW me away. So I figure that I’ll stay in and hit it with another Air Slash.
Araj switched in Blissey.
Yanmega used Air Slash.
Blissey lost 17% of its health.
Blissey's leftovers restored a little health!
Yanmega's Speed Boost raised its speed!
Okay, now I’m at a dead end. Yanmega can’t stand up to Blissey, so I’ll have to switch to something that can take the pink egg down.
~NF switched in Garchomp.
Blissey used Thunderbolt.
It doesn't affect Garchomp...
Blissey's leftovers restored a little health!
Araj is running a CM Bliss, I guess. Luckily I didn’t switch my Chomp into an Ice Beam; that might have been messy. Time to go on a rampage.
Garchomp used Outrage.
Garchomp went on a rampage!
Blissey lost 69% of its health.
Blissey used Ice Beam.
It's super effective!
Garchomp lost 112% of its health.
~NF's Garchomp fainted.
Blissey's leftovers restored a little health!
5-6, Araj
Well, there goes that idea. I guess my Garchomp wasn’t enough to scare off his Blissey, but it has a large dent in its HP now. Donphan should be able to finish her off.
~NF switched in Donphan.
Araj switched in Skarmory.
Donphan used Earthquake.
It doesn't affect Skarmory...
Skarmory's leftovers restored a little health!
Ugh, Skarm is back. I know that Donphan can’t do anything to a Skarmory, and Araj probably does too, so he won’t be WWing, and he won’t be switching. So I predict Spikes.
Skarmory used Spikes.
Spikes were scattered everywhere!
Spikes were scattered around the foe's team!
Donphan used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around your foe's team!
Skarmory's leftovers restored a little health!
Yep, I was right, and I got off my rocks as he Spiked. Now I can just spin them away…
Skarmory used Protect.
Skarmory protected itself!
Donphan used Rapid Spin.
Skarmory protected itself!
Skarmory's leftovers restored a little health!
So apparently Araj knows what I’m trying to do. No matter, Protect will probably fail if he tries to block me again.
Araj switched in Dusknoir.
Dusknoir is exerting its pressure!
Pointed stones dug into Dusknoir.
Dusknoir lost 12% of its health.
Donphan used Rapid Spin.
It doesn't affect Dusknoir...
Dusknoir's leftovers restored a little health!
Dang, I really should have seen that coming. Guess I won’t be spinning those Spikes away. The good news is that it’s only a single layer.
At any rate, I predict that the Dusknoir is about to Ice Punch me, so out comes my Ice resist.
~NF switched in Lucario.
Lucario was hurt by Spikes!
Lucario lost 6% of its health.
Dusknoir used Toxic.
It doesn't affect Lucario...
Dusknoir's leftovers restored a little health!
Well, I mispredicted, but I wound up better off because of it. Time to Shadow Ball that Dusknoir to death.
Araj switched in Skarmory.
Pointed stones dug into Skarmory.
Skarmory lost 12% of its health.
Lucario used Shadow Ball.
It's not very effective...
Skarmory lost 23% of its health.
Skarmory's leftovers restored a little health!
Ugh, not Skarmory again! A Lucario locked into Shadow Ball won’t help me here, so I bring back Donphan to get try to spin away the spikes… again.
~NF switched in Donphan.
Donphan was hurt by Spikes!
Donphan lost 6% of its health.

Dusknoir lost 12% of its health.
Donphan used Rapid Spin.
It doesn't affect Dusknoir...
Donphan's leftovers restored a little health!

Now I’m kicking myself for not predicting the Dusknoir switch-in. Time to send Lucario back in.
~NF switched in Lucario.
Lucario was hurt by Spikes!
Lucario lost 6% of its health.
Dusknoir used Shadow Sneak.
It's not very effective...
Lucario lost 10% of its health.
Dusknoir's leftovers restored a little health!
I was predicting Ice Punch (although I’m beginning to doubt that he even has it) or Toxic, but Shadow Sneak works too.
Thinking back to the last time this happens, I predict Skarm coming back in, so I use Aura Sphere. It’s a risk, but it’s worth it.
Araj switched in Blissey.
Pointed stones dug into Blissey.
Blissey lost 12% of its health.
Lucario used Aura Sphere.
It's super effective!

Lucario lost 224% of its health.
~NF's Lucario fainted.
Heatran's special attack was harshly lowered.
4-5, Araj
~NF: scarf?
Araj: maybe :)
I was wondering why he sent in Heatran to eat an Aura Sphere. My Lucario was Timid with max Speed, so I figured it would be faster. Guess I was wrong…
~NF switched in Donphan.
Donphan was hurt by Spikes!
Donphan lost 6% of its health.
Araj switched in Skarmory.
Pointed stones dug into Skarmory.
Skarmory lost 12% of its health.

Skarmory's leftovers restored a little health!
I EQ to try to kill his Heatran, but Skarm comes in and ruins my fun yet again.
I’m not about to try spinning a third time, since Dusknoir is probably switching in. So I try another EQ.
Skarmory used Protect.
Skarmory protected itself!
Donphan used Earthquake.
Skarmory protected itself!
Donphan's leftovers restored a little health!
Skarmory's leftovers restored a little health!
Well, he thought that I was going to spin, at least. So yet again, I predict the Dusknoir switch-in.

It doesn't affect Skarmory...
Skarmory used Whirlwind.
~NF switched in Tyranitar.

Pointed stones dug into Donphan.
Donphan lost 6% of its health.
Tyranitar used Stone Edge.

3-5, Araj
Well, my Donphan has countered Donphans before, but I guess today wasn’t his day.
In other news, my only spinner is gone, so those spikes aren’t going anywhere. Hopefully he won’t spin my rocks away.
~NF switched in Yanmega.

Donphan used Knock Off.
Donphan knocked off foe Yanmega's Wide Lens!
Yanmega lost 7% of its health.
The sandstorm rages.
Yanmega is buffetted by the sandstorm!
Yanmega's Speed Boost raised its speed!
~NF: Hmm...
Well, that’s interesting. I can do without the Wide Lens though, since I have no intention of using Hypnosis, since his Gyarados is still sleeping. Time to finish off that Donphan.
Donphan used Ice Shard.
It's super effective!
Yanmega lost 28% of its health.

Okay, I correctly predicted the Overheat and sent out Blissey. Unfortunately, there’s not much I can do against a pokemon sporting a 4x Ice resist. Hopefully he’ll decide to switch.
Araj switched in Dusknoir.

Slops:
-Skarmory, for being really annoying.
-Donphan, for being unable to spin away those Spikes after oh so many attempts.
-Garchomp, for barely doing anything.
