I haven't seen any Warstories posted here on Pojo, so I'm not sure whether this belongs here, but I can't think of anywhere else to put it, since it isn't about building teams, nor am I requesting a Battle. But if any mods think that it belongs on the battling boards, just move this topic. I'm hoping to start a trend in Warstories on Pojo to help more of the beginning trainers here familiarize themselves with the Metagame.
I've been enjoying Shoddy, and I'm happy about this close game.
Xtreemmasheen3k2's team (me):
Salamence
Infernape
Skarmory
Blissey
Garchomp
Cresselia
Gaara's team:
Breloom
Manaphy
Garchomp
Gallade
Blissey
Alakazam
xtreemmasheen3k2 sent out Salamence.
Gaara sent out Breloom.
Salamence's intimidate cut Breloom's attack!
Guessing game for me. Breloom's attack has been cut by Intimidate, but who will he switch to?
Salamence used Fire Blast.
It's super effective!
A critical hit!
Breloom lost 249% of its health.
Gaara's Breloom fainted.
Me:6 Gaara: 5
..... well, that was probably a mistake on Gaara's part, he should have known that all standard Salamences carry one Fire Attack to deal with steels. I now have the advantage by reducing him to 1 Poke and Salamence still having full life.
Gaara switched in Manaphy.
OOOOO a Manaphy. I greatly fear Manaphy and its Hydroresting capabilities. Better take him out now.
Manaphy used Tail Glow.
Manaphy's special attack was sharply raised.
Salamence used Dragon Claw.
A critical hit!
Manaphy lost 89% of its health.
Manaphy's Salac Berry raised its speed!
He was expecting me to switch like any competant trainer knowing that he's up against an Ice Beam would do. However, my Salamence isn't your typitcal Salamence, though that critical hit was h4x luck on my part.
Manaphy used Ice Beam.
It's super effective!
Salamence lost 231% of its health.
Salamence hung on using its Focus Sash!
Salamence used Dragon Claw.
Manaphy lost 45% of its health.
Gaara's Manaphy fainted.
Me: 6 Gaara: 4
HA! Not enough people expect Focus Sash'd Salamence, though I know I would not have been able to KO Manaphy had he decided to Ice Beam from the get-go, since he was faster than me even without the Salac boost. 'course, really goes to show you how hard it is to really predict Salamence.
Gaara switched in Garchomp.
Garchomp used Swords Dance.
Garchomp's attack was sharply raised.
Salamence used Dragon Claw.
It's super effective!
Garchomp lost 91% of its health.
Once again, he fails to predict my switch-out and gets nailed as a consequence.
Garchomp used Dragon Claw.
It's super effective!
Salamence lost 226% of its health.
xtreemmasheen3k2's Salamence fainted.
Me: 5 gaara: 4
Nice job Salamence. Managed to take out 2 Pokemon and get another into KO range.
xtreemmasheen3k2 switched in Infernape.
Infernape used Grass Knot.
Garchomp lost 28% of its health.
Gaara's Garchomp fainted.
Infernape lost 10% of its health.
Me: 5 Gaara: 3
Infernape has higher Base Speed, and even then, most SD Chomps are Adament anyway. it's all thanks to Salamence for getting Garchomp into KO range.
Gaara switched in Gallade.
Gallade used Psycho Cut.
It's super effective!
Infernape lost 116% of its health.
xtreemmasheen3k2's Infernape fainted.
Me: 4 Gaar: 3
Gallade shouldn't be faster than Infernape, but I didn't realize that it was Scarf'd until after he sent my Nape to the Pokemon center. Now knowing that, however, I knew I had a free turn to Stealth Rock.
xtreemmasheen3k2 switched in Skarmory.
Gaara switched in Blissey.
Skarmory used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around your foe's team!
Stealth Rock is in play. Now to figure out what kind of Blissey that is. If it's a TWave Blissey like so many Blisseys are, i can get prepared to switch in Garchomp the next time I see it.
xtreemmasheen3k2 switched in Blissey.
Blissey used Thunder Wave.
Blissey is paralysed! It may be unable to move!
Ha, like Blissey cares about being Paralyzed with Natural Cure, or getting her speed cut. Now the next time I see Blissey I can get Garchomp ready to KO it.
Blissey used Seismic Toss.
Blissey lost 14% of its health.
Blissey used Thunder Wave.
Blissey is paralysed! It may be unable to move!
Blissey's leftovers restored a little health!
Blissey restored 6% of its health.
I was expecting him to switch out to Gallade again since Blissey v. Blissey just turns into a stall battle.
Gaara switched in Gallade.
Pointed stones dug into Gallade.
Gallade lost 6% of its health.
Blissey is paralysed! It can't move!
Blissey's leftovers restored a little health!

Skarmory lost 69% of its health.
Gallade's defence was lowered.
Gallade's special defence was lowered.
Skarmory's leftovers restored a little health!
Skarmory restored 6% of its health.
Damn critical h4x, now my Skarmory's at 37 percent. Well, if 69's a Critical hit, 69/2 = 34.5, which should give me just enough HP to survive and roost, and I'll roost anyway if he decides to switch to his special sweeper.
Gallade used Close Combat.
A critical hit!
Skarmory lost 72% of its health.
xtreemmasheen3k2's Skarmory fainted.
Gallade's defence was lowered.
Gallade's special defence was lowered.
Me: 3 Gaara: 3
**** YOU CRITICAL H4X. 2 Critical hits in a row is bull****. Well, Gallade quickly managed to close the gap that my Salamence had created.
With his defenses critically low, might as well KO him.
xtreemmasheen3k2 switched in Garchomp.
Gallade used Close Combat.
Garchomp lost 62% of its health.
Gallade's defence was lowered.
Gallade's special defence was lowered.

Gaara switched in Alakazam.
Pointed stones dug into Alakazam.
Alakazam lost 12% of its health.
Well, Special Sweeper, you know what's coming.
xtreemmasheen3k2 switched in Blissey.

It's super effective!

Alakazam used Psychic.
Blissey lost 27% of its health.
xtreemmasheen3k2's Blissey fainted.
Alakazam lost 10% of its health.
Me: 2 Gaara: 2
Well, that sucked. However, the turns Blissey spent stalling Alakazam would make a difference in the end. Well, might as well send in my last wall.
xtreemmasheen3k2 switched in Cresselia.
Gaara switched in Blissey.
Pointed stones dug into Blissey.
Blissey lost 12% of its health.
Cresselia used Ice Beam.

Blissey was frozen solid!

Well, I guess the h4x god is fair and just after all. He'd better have been after 2 BS criticals like before.
Cresselia used Light Screen.
A barrier was formed!
Blissey is frozen solid!
Blissey's leftovers restored a little health!
Blissey restored 6% of its health.
This is actually where I failed to realize that he had been frozen. Otherwise, I would have done my next turn sooner.....

Blissey is frozen solid!

Gaara's Alakazam fainted.
xtreemmasheen3k2 wins!
Well, that was anti-climactic. Yeah, those Life Orb shots will eventually take their toll and with a Life Orb, you have to remember that you're only out there for 10-11 attacks at the most, and even less when there's Stealth Rocks and Spikes involved, which hurts if you're facing a team that's half walls like mine. I would have survived at least one more turn though. Those Life Orbs and Stealth Rocks really managed to add up.
Yeah, I forgot that Blissey had used Aromatherapy, and I made WAY too many mistakes this game.
Props:
-Salamence for being an AWESOME lead. Taking out annoyers like Breloom and -Manaphy really helped to make this battle a bit more straightfoward for me.
-Gallade for managing to get the jump on me, that's never gonna happen again.
-Skarmory for making a difference with its Stealth Rock against Alakazam's Life Orb.
-Garchomp for doing his sweeping duties just as well as Infernape and Salamence.
-Alakazam predicting the Blissey switch
-Blissey for managing to get a few hits in on Alakazam and thereby wasting more Life Orb turns. really made a difference in the end.
Slops:
Woah, where to start.
-Gaara for really messing up on his prediction early on. Why the hell did you stay in agaisnt Salamence early on? You should have just predicted the fire attack and switched to Manaphy. I mean, come on, did you really think you'd do anything against Salamence with BRELOOM?
-And of course, Manaphy for not attacking from the get-go.
-And not finishing off Salamence when Garchomp had the chance. Did you really think i would be switching Salamence when he was dead already?
-2 Critical hits in a row against Skarmory. **** that. But upon thinking about it, that was probably karmic paybac for criticalling Manaphy that early on in the match.
-Alakazam still outspeeding Blissey while paralyzed?
-Not switching in Garchomp after Blissey was KO'd because of forgetting the result of her sacrifice: Alakazam was Paralyzed and easily outsped by Garchomp. Almost cost me the game had I not frozen Blissey.
-And of course, Gaara, for lacking hatred.......
Player of the game, my team, and best overall: Salamence
Overall, the player of the game on my team goes to Salamence for making the difference early on. When 2 of your pokes are knocked out that early on in the game on top a third one being critically injured, that pretty much means that Salamence took out half of his team almost singlehandedly, making it really hard to come back, a real testament to its power as a lead.
Player of the game, opponent's team: Gallade.
Galade was pretty much the equalizer in it all that made sure he wasn't swept. Gallade managed to KO Infernape with an unexpected Choice Scarf and, despite the fact that 2 critical hits in a row is BS, managed to KO my Skarm and get my Garchomp within KO range.
Overall, I just need to worry about the Wall of Text of death next time. Game would have ended a lot quicker if I remembered Zam was paralyzed or that Blissey was frozen.
I'll try to make my next Warstory more interesting and not just have random cursing in it.
