So I'd been playing around on Shoddy the other day with a half-random and rather fun-to-use team of pokes, and surprisingly found myself winning with it a lot more than I had expected to. So, of course, when I was asked for a wifi battle later that night, I decided to give it a try.
My team:
Gin's team:
Syberia's moves are in blue
Gin's moves are in red
Since this was a Wi-Fi battle, damage done to the opponent is estimated
Syberia sent out Infernape
Gin sent out Tyranitar
Tyranitar’s Sand Stream whipped up a Sandstorm!
(Sandstorm damage will be ignored from now on)
I lead with Infernape, he decides to lead with Tyranitar. I know that Tyranitars are usually afraid of Infernapes, and even though I'm trying out the Endeavor set, and that means I don't technically have Close Combat, there's no way Gin could know that. Unless he's sashed, and I really doubt he is, he'll switch out, so I'll take the opportunity to set up Stealth Rock.
Gin withdrew Tyranitar
Gin sent out Swampert
Infernape used Stealth Rock
He went to Swampert, as he obviously wasn't going to risk Tyranitar being destroyed by Close Combat, and I got the opportunity to set up my Stealth Rock. Unfortunately, Tyranitar's Sand Stream renders my Focus Sash + Endeavor useless, so Infernape has done its job for now. I lack Grass Knot, meaning I can't kill the Swampert, but he's not likely to use an Ice move against an Infernape, so I feel safe bringing Salamence in right now, before he gets Stealth Rock on the field.
Syberia withdrew Infernape
Syberia sent out Salamence
Salamence’s Intimidate cut Swampert’s attack
Swampert used Stealth Rock
(Stealth Rock damage will be ignored from now on)
Salamence comes in for free on his Stealth Rock, which is nice because between Life Orb, Sandstorm, and now SR damage, it won't be switching in and out too many times. Swampert has the potential to be an annoying douche if I don't kill it quickly, so I'll take the opportunity to fire off my strongest attack at it before I die.
Salamence used Draco Meteor (85% damage, Salamence takes LO recoil)
Salamence’s special attack harshly fell
Swampert used Ice Beam (85% damage)
Salamence fainted
Swampert restored its health with Leftovers
(Swampert’s Leftovers will be ignored from now on)
Swampert: 20%
Salamence: KOed
6-5 Gin
Salamence did its job, I guess. I was hoping that I would KO, or that I would live an Intimidated Ice Punch, but neither happened. Swampert is in easy kill range for just about anything, though.
Syberia sent out Tyranitar
Tyranitar used Crunch (20% damage)
Swampert fainted
Swampert: KOed
Tyranitar: 87%
5-5 tie
CB Crunch takes it out easily, and does not lock me into a painfully weak Pursuit for anything to set up on.
Gin sent out Tyranitar
However, that's a pretty bad matchup, considering I'm locked into Crunch. I have something that should be able to handle it, though.
Syberia withdrew Tyranitar
Syberia sent out Breloom
Tyranitar used Earthquake (22% damage)
Breloom was poisoned by its Toxic Orb
(Poison Heal recovery will be ignored from now on)
Tyranitar: 87%
Breloom: 66%, poisoned
If this is the same Tyranitar he used against me last time, then it lacks a Fire move. Since this is a SubSeed Breloom without Seed Bomb to kill it, I'll just Leech Seed it or his switch-in for the time being. I'd rather save my Spore for something else, as Tyranitar really is the least of my worries. Besides, he knows it's coming.
Breloom used Leech Seed
Tyranitar used Crunch (27% damage)
Breloom’s defense fell
Breloom absorbed Tyranitar’s health
Tyranitar: 75%
Breloom: 64%
The Defense fall is a little annoying, but it doesn't matter too much as I can just keep setting Substitutes and regaining health until he either dies or switches.
Breloom used Substitute
Tyranitar used Crunch
Breloom’s Substitute broke
Breloom absorbed Tyranitar’s health
Tyranitar: 63%
Breloom: 65%
At this rate, I seem to be gaining about 1% per turn, between Poison Heal and Leech Seed. I've got nothing to lose by Subbing again.
Gin withdrew Tyranitar
Gin sent out Cresselia
Breloom used Substitute
Cresselia restored its health with Leftovers
(Cresselia’s Leftovers will be ignored from now on)
Cresselia: 87%
Breloom: 45%
Cresselia; now there's something I haven't seen in a long time. It's got a lot of HP though, so Leech Seeding it would appear to be the prudent thing to do.
Breloom used Leech Seed
Cresselia used Ice Beam
Breloom’s Substitute broke
Breloom absorbed Cresselia’s health
Cresselia: 75%
Breloom: 73%
At this rate he'll be worn down before too long.
Breloom used Substitute
Cresselia used Ice Beam
Breloom’s Substitute broke
Breloom absorbed Cresselia’s health
Cresselia: 63%
Breloom: 75%
He's hurting; if he stays in and gets Spored, I can beat him with Leech Seed and Focus Punch. If he switches out, something else gets put to sleep.
Breloom used Spore
Cresselia fell asleep
Breloom absorbed Cresselia’s health
Cresselia: 50%
Breloom: 100%
Meh, not much else he could have done in that situation. I'll bring in Tyranitar to hopefully finish it off.
Syberia withdrew Breloom
Syberia sent out Tyranitar
Gin withdrew Cresselia
Gin sent out Jirachi
Jirachi restored its health with Leftovers
(Jirachi’s Leftovers will be ignored from now on)
Jirachi: 100%
Tyranitar: 75%
In hindsight, that was probably a bad idea. Switching out was a perfectly logical move on his part, since no one in their right mind leaves a sleeping pokemon in against a Breloom. Oh well, Tyranitar vs. Jirachi is still an advantageous matchup for me.
Jirachi used Substitute
Tyranitar used Crunch
Jirachi’s Substitute broke
Jirachi: 80%
Tyranitar: 75%
He subs to scout my move, so there's really nothing different I could have done in that situation. Couldn't risk him switching in a Gyarados or something on a predicted Earthquake. The only Dark resist I've seen on his team so far is Tyranitar, and I think with Stealth Rock, I will be able to 2HKO it with Crunch.
Gin withdrew Jirachi
Gin sent out Tyranitar
Tyranitar used Crunch (20% damage)
Tyranitar: 30%
Tyranitar: 75%
Looks like I overestimated what Tyranitar can do. It'll live another attack from me and kill me if I stay in, so a switch seems to be in order.
Syberia withdrew Tyranitar
Syberia sent out Breloom
Tyranitar used Taunt
Tyranitar: 30%
Breloom: 100%
That totally screws me up; I haven't seen a Tyranitar carry Taunt in forever. At this point, I've got two options - predict a switch and use Focus Punch, or switch to something else myself. He's seen three of my moves, and it's easy to guess what the fourth is on SubSeed Breloom, so he'll probably just attack me. Magnezone shoud be able to take a Crunch...
Syberia withdrew Breloom
Syberia sent out Magnezone
Tyranitar used Earthquake (94% damage)
Magnezone fainted
Tyranitar: 30%
Magnezone: KOed
5-4 Gin
...but not an Earthquake. He was obviously expecting Tyranitar or Infernape, and I played right into that. Let's see if I can still pull this off.
Syberia sent out Infernape
Gin withdrew Tyranitar
Gin sent out Vaporeon
Infernape used Vacuum Wave (15% damage)
Vaporeon restored its health with Leftovers
(Vaporeon’s Leftovers will be ignored from now on)
Vaporeon: 75%
Infernape: 75%
At this point I'm trying to figure out how I can win. If I lower Vaporeon's health to about 50%, Tyranitar can outspeed and take it out with Stone Edge. Swampert was presumably his Tyranitar counter, and it's dead, leaving Jirachi as the only thing on his team that can survive Stone Edge, other than perhaps one unknown pokemon, but I can't worry about what I don't know right now. In order to get Vaporeon's health sufficiently low, though, I'm going to have to sacrifice Infernape.
Infernape used Endeavor (30% damage)
Vaporeon used Wish
Vaporeon: 40%
Infernape: 69%
Looks like he thought I'd switch instead. Vaporeon is in kill range, but if I switch in Tyranitar now, it'll heal itself and I'll have to start all over. I cross my fingers that he doesn't have Ice Beam...
Syberia withdrew Infernape
Syberia sent out Breloom
Vaporeon used Protect
It failed
Vaporeon: 95%
Breloom: 100%
So far so good...
Breloom used Substitute
Vaporeon used Wish
Vaporeon: 95%
Breloom: 81%
Looks like he doesn't have it, and I'm hiding behind a free Substitute. He's probably going to attempt to heal Cresselia and wake it up, or else heal Jirachi and try to kill me, so I'll just go with a Leech Seed.
Gin withdrew Vaporeon
Gin sent out Tyranitar
Breloom used Leech Seed
Tyranitar was healed by the Wish
Breloom absorbed Tyranitar’s health
Tyranitar: 55%
Breloom: 100%
That was certainly unexpected, but not altogether bad. You can guess what's coming...
Tyranitar used Crunch
Breloom’s Substitute broke
Breloom used Focus Punch (55% damage)
Tyranitar fainted
4-4 tie
If breaking my sub was what he hoped to accomplish with all that, he certainly did it...
Gin sent out Jirachi

Looks like that's exactly what he hoped to accomplish. With Magnezone gone, Tyranitar is my best hope of killing that thing. Hopefully near-max Sp. Def and Sandstorm is enough to handle HP Fighting, if he has it. God, I wish I hadn't sent Zone to its death, as with a Scarf, it could easily handle the three pokes I've seen that he has left at this point.

The hax didn't help, but thankfully no HP Fighting. Even with a Critical Hit, that Thunderbolt barely managed 20%, so I can sit back and take those all day.

Gin withdrew Jirachi
Gin sent out Heatran
Tyranitar used Crunch (65% damage)
Critical Hit
Heatran: 20%
Tyranitar: 41%
Speaking of luck... not going to complain though, it's only fair considering what Jirachi did to me. Unless the Heatran is Specs, I should be able to survive its Earth Power, and if it is Specs, I have something left that can outspeed and kill it. And now that I know his whole team, things are looking pretty good at this point.
Heatran used Earth Power (28% damage)
Tyranitar is fully paralyzed

Uhh, never mind.

Alright, here goes. I'm sure he's going to switch, but I really can't do anything else except Vacuum Wave, because if he stays in, I'm swept.
Gin withdrew Heatran
Gin sent out Cresselia
Infernape used Vacuum Wave (lol damage)
Cresselia: 30%
Infernape: 51%
Weird switch, but I guess he knew that if he brought in Vaporeon, it would just get Endeavored and die. So a sleeping Cresselia was the most useless thing he had. Fire Blast should take care of this.
Infernape used Fire Blast (29% damage)
Cresselia used Sleep Talk
Cresselia used Ice Beam (13% damage)
Cresselia fainted from the Sandstorm
Cresselia: KOed
Infernape: 31%
3-3 tie
I'm actually quite pleased that I didn't kill in this situation, as the Ice Beam both activated Blaze and made my Endeavor more powerful. Vaporeon is the only thing he can bring in here that won't die in one hit, so let's see if I can't take it out.
Infernape used Endeavor (70% damage)

2-2 tie
He chose to sacrifice Heatran to break Breloom's Substitute, so I guess that means he has to die. However, my last pokemon is Mamoswine, who should be able to survive a Psychic from Jirachi and kill it with Earthquake, and who can easily outspeed and finish off Vaporeon if SR doesn't manage to kill it off first.
Gin sent out Jirachi
