I enjoy the subtle things that occur when battling. I try not to overlook them as I re-tell this fight I had in which I was getting walled pretty hard.

I'm really just abusing the shit out of Zapdos/Skarmory/Hariyama/Metagross up to this point - switching out of Leech Seed and stalling as best I can against Metagross/Celebi/Claydol/Skarmory on Daea's side.

End of turn #36
GGWK is here's Tyranitar: 88% HP
Daea's Skarmory: 334 HP
Taunting Skarmory netted Tyranitar some Leftovers recovery. It also divulged that my Tyranitar is a Dragon Dancer. But with Claydol around it is going nowhere fast.
Begin Turn #37
Daea withdrew Skarmory!

I keep Tyranitar in and choose to Rock Slide the Claydol weakly. It misses, but who cares. Claydol is in a good spot and took the opportunity to Rapid Spin to rid of 3 layers. The crucial thing that happens though is that Tyranitar gains back 5% of its health this turn, since Rapid Spin did 1%.
Begin Turn #39
GGWK is here withdrew Tyranitar!
GGWK is here sent out Zapdos (Lv.100 Zapdos)!

Milotic? It remained hidden all this time. It's surprising that something like Milotic, which sports Recover, was not utilized in the first 51 turns of battle. But anyway, after seeing Milotic come in unscathed I was very much in trouble.

End of turn #55
GGWK is here's Metagross: 23% HP
Daea's Tyranitar: 353 HP
Metagross gets in there and breaks the Substitute right away as opposed to Reflecting. This causes Tyranitar to retreat sooner and prohibited a turn of Leftovers recovery which could have helped later as you'll see.
Begin Turn #56
Daea withdrew Tyranitar!
Daea sent out Skarmory (Lv.100 Skarmory)!

End of turn #59
GGWK is here's Flygon: 100% HP
Daea's Claydol: 276 HP
I get in a Drill Peck before Skarmory gets offed by Ice Beam critically.
The score is 5-6 Daea. I have had 3 layers on my side for a while now. There is 1 layer on Daea's side.
I am desperate. I need to put pressure on Claydol if I am to have any shot of coming back with Tyranitar. I bring in Flygon just to do that, risking it in the process.
Begin Turn #60
Flygon used Hidden Power!
(182 damage)

Daea's Claydol: 114 HP
Flygon, with its first appearance, executes a Choice Banded Hidden Power Bug to weaken Claydol. Claydol responds with Ice Beam, nearly killing my Choice Band Flygon. Some spare HP EVs had saved it.
Begin Turn #61
Daea withdrew Claydol!
Daea sent out Skarmory (Lv.100 Skarmory)!

End of turn #61

Daea's Skarmory: 331 HP
Hariyama is Whirlwinded in at 29% health, asleep. It's dead to Spikes and Sandstorm in any event. It's time for it to bite the dust.
Begin Turn #63
Skarmory used Hidden Power!
(29% damage)
It's super effective!
Hariyama fainted!
The score is 4-6 Daea. Alright. Now is my only shot with Tyranitar, seeing as how Claydol is weakened and Daea has to deal with 1 layer of Spikes. Nevertheless, the chances are slim and I'm about ready to lose.
GGWK is here sent out Tyranitar (Lv.100 Tyranitar)!

Daea's Milotic: 345 HP
No messing around. I Dragon Dance first thing and luckily Skarmory switches out. It is Milotic's turn to try and counter. Milotic hits 1 layer of Spikes on the way in, which helps tremendously as Rock Slide does about 44-45% next turn.
Begin Turn #65
Tyranitar used Rock Slide!

Tyranitar is at +1/+1 with 39% HP after eating a Surf. It looks like Milotic is a goner if it gets hit by another Rock Slide.
Begin Turn #66
Tyranitar used Rock Slide!
(171 damage)
Milotic fainted!
The score is 4-5 Daea. Claydol thinks it can come out and put an end to Tyranitar.

Thanks to all of those crucial times when it stayed in for Leftovers recovery, Tyranitar survives Claydol's Earthquake with 2% health to spare. One more Dragon Danced Rock Slide puts Claydol away.

GGWK is here: 400 hp for what it's worth
I was unsure if Daea's Tyranitar would succumb to a Dragon Danced Earthquake. But I couldn't stop now. Had Metagross used Reflect instead of breaking the Substitute earlier...it may have gained back enough health...I wonder...
Begin Turn #69
Tyranitar used Earthquake!
(328 damage)
It's super effective!
Tyranitar fainted!
The score is 4-3 GGWK is here.
Daea has Celebi, Skarmory, and a Metagross (not healthy enough to threaten). Celebi tries its luck, but to no avail on Turn #70.

OK. The point is that I picked a "do or die" spot in the battle, and it worked out. All the little things - the slight planning, the Leftovers recovery, knowing when to pressure something, knowing the Spikes situation - they mattered in, what I would call, this "comeback."
Plus the fact that my 400 HP Dragon Dance Tyranitar got hit by 3 layers of Spikes, STAB Surf, and STAB Earthquake all within a matter of 4-5 turns and lasted.
Scroll to the end for the moral of the story (and to find out why I felt I needed to post this.)

GGWK is here's Metagross: 81% HP
Daea's Skarmory: 334 HP
3 layers of Spikes on both sides at this point. My Metagross makes an unwelcome second appearance--being forced out by Whirlwind into Spikes.
Begin Turn #35
Metagross used Reflect!
GGWK is here's team's Reflect raised Defense!
---------------------------------
Skarmory used Whirlwind!
Metagross was blown away!

Now my Tyranitar gets dragged out for its first appearance.

End of turn #36
GGWK is here's Tyranitar: 88% HP
Daea's Skarmory: 334 HP
Taunting Skarmory netted Tyranitar some Leftovers recovery. It also divulged that my Tyranitar is a Dragon Dancer. But with Claydol around it is going nowhere fast.
Begin Turn #37
Daea withdrew Skarmory!
Daea sent out Claydol (Lv.100 Claydol)!
---------------------------------
Tyranitar used Rock Slide!
(53 damage)

I Rock Slide the Claydol switch-in and get some more Leftovers recovery. My decision this next turn is important.
Begin Turn #38
Tyranitar used Rock Slide!

End of turn #38
GGWK is here's Tyranitar: 99% HP
Daea's Claydol: 264 HP
I keep Tyranitar in and choose to Rock Slide the Claydol weakly. It misses, but who cares. Claydol is in a good spot and took the opportunity to Rapid Spin to rid of 3 layers. The crucial thing that happens though is that Tyranitar gains back 5% of its health this turn, since Rapid Spin did 1%.
Begin Turn #39
GGWK is here withdrew Tyranitar!
GGWK is here sent out Zapdos (Lv.100 Zapdos)!
---------------------------------

I finally hit the road with Tyranitar who gets out with 99% health (it was like 397/400). The next time it comes out will be its last. But in the meantime...

Milotic? It remained hidden all this time. It's surprising that something like Milotic, which sports Recover, was not utilized in the first 51 turns of battle. But anyway, after seeing Milotic come in unscathed I was very much in trouble.

Metagross gets in there and breaks the Substitute right away as opposed to Reflecting. This causes Tyranitar to retreat sooner and prohibited a turn of Leftovers recovery which could have helped later as you'll see.

I get in a Drill Peck before Skarmory gets offed by Ice Beam critically.
The score is 5-6 Daea. I have had 3 layers on my side for a while now. There is 1 layer on Daea's side.
I am desperate. I need to put pressure on Claydol if I am to have any shot of coming back with Tyranitar. I bring in Flygon just to do that, risking it in the process.

Hariyama is Whirlwinded in at 29% health, asleep. It's dead to Spikes and Sandstorm in any event. It's time for it to bite the dust.
Begin Turn #63
Skarmory used Hidden Power!
(29% damage)
It's super effective!
Hariyama fainted!
The score is 4-6 Daea. Alright. Now is my only shot with Tyranitar, seeing as how Claydol is weakened and Daea has to deal with 1 layer of Spikes. Nevertheless, the chances are slim and I'm about ready to lose.

No messing around. I Dragon Dance first thing and luckily Skarmory switches out. It is Milotic's turn to try and counter. Milotic hits 1 layer of Spikes on the way in, which helps tremendously as Rock Slide does about 44-45% next turn.

I was unsure if Daea's Tyranitar would succumb to a Dragon Danced Earthquake. But I couldn't stop now. Had Metagross used Reflect instead of breaking the Substitute earlier...it may have gained back enough health...I wonder...

OK. The point is that I picked a "do or die" spot in the battle, and it worked out. All the little things - the slight planning, the Leftovers recovery, knowing when to pressure something, knowing the Spikes situation - they mattered in, what I would call, this "comeback."
Plus the fact that my 400 HP Dragon Dance Tyranitar got hit by 3 layers of Spikes, STAB Surf, and STAB Earthquake all within a matter of 4-5 turns and lasted.
