Here is a close battle I had tonight. I don't play on Shoddy often, and when I do I usually use teams like this. Enjoy the read.

Yes, this battle was pimping. Not pimpin'.

My team:

Venomoth
Toxicroak
Claydol
Aerodactyl
Dusknoir
Cacturne

Couple OU thrown in there. Gotta be able to survive in Shoddy.

Da Newbie's team:

Metagross
Blaziken
Venusaur
Victreebell
Dragonite
Alakazam

Same for him. Some nice UU guys that we all like to see.

The battle, or as Funch would say, the batel. By the way, I am SuperBad.

z0mg its Venomoth!'s health was sapped by leech seed!
z0mg its Venomoth! lost 12% of its health.

Venomoth was almost dead, didn't want to switch any of my guys into an attack, so I left it in to get killed by the Leech Seed Venusaur hit me with. He predicted this and got another DD in. I should have tried Sleep Powder again.

4-5.

4-4.

---

Tha Grudge's health was sapped by leech seed!
Tha Grudge lost 12% of its health.
Venusaur regained health!
Venusaur restored 12% of its health.

I bring in Dusknoir as Cacturne can't do much to Venusaur. He hits him with Leech Seed, ensuring he'll die very soon. Toxic is beginning.

---

Tha Grudge used Will-o-wisp.

3-3.

---

Tha Grudge used Pain Split.
Tha Grudge restored 19% of its health.

Trying to preserve Dusknoir a tad longer, I Pain Split. In the end I do nothing but take some damage from Blaziken.

---
SuperBad switched in SillyPutty (lvl 100 Claydol).
Blaziken used Swords Dance.
Blaziken's attack was sharply raised.

He predicted my switch, SD'd. Good move.

---
Blaziken used Swords Dance.
Blaziken's attack was sharply raised.
SillyPutty used Earth Power.
It's super effective!
Blaziken lost 84% of its health.
Blaziken's special defence was lowered.

He must have done damage calcs or something. He took a long time on this turn, and probably determined he could survive the Earth Power he knew I'd dish out. Either way, he survived the hit with about 10% left.

---
Blaziken used Flare Blitz.
A critical hit!
SillyPutty lost 400% of its health.
SuperBad's SillyPutty fainted.
Blaziken was hit by recoil!
Blaziken lost 36% of its health.
Da Newbie's Blaziken fainted.

Claydol got absolutely *****, but it had to happen as I knew Cacturne was all I had left to attack with, and it didn't stand a chance. Dusknoir was half dead. Recoil killed Blaziken in the end.

2-2.

---
Da Newbie switched in Venusaur (lvl 100 Venusaur ?).
SuperBad switched in Tha Grudge (lvl 100 Dusknoir ?).
Tha Grudge is exerting its pressure!

Alakazam lost 12% of its health.
Tha Grudge's leftovers restored its health a little!
Tha Grudge restored 6% of its health.

Tried to burn the dang Venusaur again, same result as last time.

---

Venusaur lost 17% of its health.
Tha Grudge's leftovers restored its health a little!
Tha Grudge restored 6% of its health.
Tha Grudge is hurt by poison!
Tha Grudge lost 12% of its health.

Out-predicted once more. Tried to Sneak the Alakazam, and he switches to Venusaur.

---
Tha Grudge used Shadow Sneak.
Venusaur lost 16% of its health.
Venusaur used Leech Seed.
Tha Grudge was seeded!
Tha Grudge's leftovers restored its health a little!

Tha Grudge lost 19% of its health.
Tha Grudge's health was sapped by leech seed!
Tha Grudge lost 12% of its health.
Venusaur regained health!
Venusaur restored 12% of its health.

Yet another great move by him. I expected him to expect a Will-O-Wisp, and Sneaked, but he expected me to expect that, so he stayed in and took the hit, Leech seeding me in the process.

---
SuperBad switched in Cacti (lvl 100 Cacturne ?).
Venusaur used Rest.
Venusaur fell asleep!
Venusaur restored 21% of its health.

I think at this point, Dusknoir was at 26%, and one more turn of Toxic and Seed woulda killed him, so I made the switch to Cacturne, who was at 100%.

---
Cacti used Swords Dance.
Cacti's attack was sharply raised.
Venusaur is fast asleep!
Venusaur used Sleep Talk.
Venusaur used Sleep Powder.
Cacti fell asleep!

Since it was asleep, I figured I'd Dance up. Little did I know that it had Sleep Talk, and it just happened to hit Sleep Powder as well.

---
Da Newbie switched in Alakazam (lvl 100 Alakazam ?).
Cacti is fast asleep!
Alakazam was hurt by its burn!
Alakazam lost 12% of its health.

Damn.

---
Cacti is fast asleep!
Alakazam used Focus Blast.
It's super effective!
Cacti lost 162% of its health.
Cacti hung on using its Focus Sash!
Alakazam was hurt by its burn!
Alakazam lost 12% of its health.

I was ensured one hit with Sash, but next turn could end it if I don't wake up.

---
Cacti woke up!
Cacti used Sucker Punch.
It's super effective!
Alakazam lost 410% of its health.
Da Newbie's Alakazam fainted.

Beasted. Sucker Punch sent Alakazam to oblivion. Now it's my 1% Cacturne and half dead Dusknoir against his Stall Venuasaur at 100%.

2-1.

---
Da Newbie switched in Venusaur (lvl 100 Venusaur ?).
Cacti used Thunderpunch.
It's not very effective...
Venusaur lost 30% of its health.
Venusaur is fast asleep!
Venusaur used Sleep Talk.
Venusaur used Leech Seed.

I had that Swords Dance earlier, and out of Needle Arm, Sucker Punch, and Thunderpunch, Thunderpunch was the better option. And he just so happens to get the perfect move with Sleep Talk, again. With 1% left I had to book it the hellz out of there.

---
SuperBad switched in Tha Grudge (lvl 100 Dusknoir ?).
Tha Grudge is exerting its pressure!
Venusaur woke up!
Venusaur used Sleep Powder.
But it failed!
Tha Grudge's leftovers restored its health a little!
Tha Grudge restored 6% of its health.
Tha Grudge is hurt by poison!

I bring in Dusknoir, who's Poison status negates the Sleep Powder.

Tha Grudge was seeded!
Tha Grudge used Pain Split.

Venusaur lost 22% of its health.

I Pain Split, did a little damage, but lost most of it to Toxic and Leech Seed. Things aren't looking too great.

---
Venusaur used Sleep Talk.

Tha Grudge used Will-o-wisp.
Tha Grudge's attack missed!

Mis-click? I don't know why he didn't rest, but dang Will-O-Wisp missed anyways. I have but a few more turns left for Dusknoir.

---
Venusaur used Leech Seed.
But it failed!
Tha Grudge used Pain Split.
Tha Grudge restored 34% of its health.

Tha Grudge lost 12% of its health.
Venusaur regained health!
Venusaur restored 12% of its health.

I preserver what little life he has left with another Pain Split, this time getting a healthier chunk from Venusaur. He probably expected a switch to Cacturne, hence the Leech Seed, as that move would have won him the match had I done that.

---
Venusaur used Sleep Talk.
But it failed!
Tha Grudge used Will-o-wisp.
Venusaur was burned!
Venusaur was hurt by its burn!
Venusaur lost 12% of its health.
Tha Grudge's leftovers restored its health a little!
Tha Grudge restored 6% of its health.
Tha Grudge is hurt by poison!
Tha Grudge lost 31% of its health.
SuperBad's Tha Grudge fainted.

There he goes again, using Sleep Talk when he is awake. Maybe Pressure killed all his Rest PP? The great thing is, I burned the dang thing, as Dusknoir gets sent back to his grave.

1-1.

---
SuperBad switched in Cacti (lvl 100 Cacturne ?).
Cacti used Thunderpunch.
It's not very effective...
Venusaur lost 15% of its health.
Venusaur used Leech Seed.
Venusaur was hurt by its burn!
Venusaur lost 12% of its health.

It's almost dead >.>. I have just Cacturne left, with one Hp. I Thunderpunch for about 1/3 of what it has left. He Leech Seeds, ensuring a victory the next turn.

---
Cacti used Thunderpunch.
It's not very effective...
Venusaur lost 15% of its health.
Da Newbie's Venusaur fainted.
SuperBad wins!
SuperBad: Good lord.
SuperBad: Nice match.
Da Newbie: I know

With burn, it get's taken down to 14%, and I KO it with Thunderpunch on what is literally the last move of the match no matter how you look at it.


Props:

Venomoth. For being Venomoth.
Cacturne, for beasting.
Dusknoir, for Pressure.
Venusaur, that thing was a monster.
Bulky Metagross, caught me off-guard.
HP: Ice on Toxicroak.

Slops:

Venomoth, for not having Compoundeyes like Venonat.
Claydol, for not KOing Blaziken with Earth Power.

Hope you liked the read, comment away.

I thought Grass types couldn't be seeded.

Dusknoir did pretty good, and Caturn did some nice face smashing.

Hammer Arm was probably used because Cacture's Dark typing doesn't like touching Fighting moves.

So much HAX went your way it wasn't even funny. Sand Veil, waking up when Cacti did, Crit hitting the Dragonite, etc. That Dragonite would have smashed your face something hard if Toxicroak hadn't brought it down. Depends on how powerful a Sucker Punch would have been.

Hence why it is a warstory.

And any Pokemon can be seeded. You might be thinking about the fact that fire Pokemon can't be W-o-W'd.

Yeah, I knew he used Hammer Arm for the typing of Cacturne, but I was commenting as to WHY he had Hammer Arm in Metagross' moveset in the first place.

I admit I got hax thrown around me this match, but to be honest, it was the first time all night, so I didn't feel sorry for him.

Additional Comment:

Edit: I got Sand Veil hax?

Haha Petri!! I remember those movies from a looong time ago, yep yep yep.

GG. Nice job with the reverse-sleep hax (my favorite type of hax).

Actually Grass-Type PKMN can't be Leech Seeded.
Now, maybe I missed it, but I didn't see something like "Cacturne's health is sapped by Leech Seed" in the WS.
Therefore, the opponent may have been unaware of this...

In any case, not too shabby.
Could use a bit more of a "story" aspect to it next time.

I will admit I'd like to try out some BL / UU Poges my self now :D.

Grass types can't be Seeded. I just did in in my game with Breloom vs. Weepinbel.

Breloom used Leech Seed!
It doesn't affect the wild Weepinbel...

My bad with Sand Veil. I'm just too used to Sandstorm being up during my battles.

Grass monsters can be Leech Seeded, it just does nothing. So that's why you won.

Nice warstory.

EDIT: Beaten!

If I'm not mistaken, doesn't the game always say "XXXX evaded the attack" whenever a PKMN uses Leech Seed on a Grass-Type PKMN (in this case, XXXX)?

It says "It doesn't affect the wild X" or whatever you're attacking.

Interesting battle. I'm impressed. Maybe you would want to try Butterfree instead of Venomoth if you are trying to use Sleep Powder. One of the few edges that Venomoth has over Butterfree is Toxic Spikes. Since you're not using that, you might as well give Butterfree a try.

Not always. Leech seed has 90% accuracy. If it misses you'll get the msg about the attack being evaded, else it has no effect on other grass types.

Got leech seed?

Yeah, my talk was a little lame and Alex Trabeck-ish, but I was tired.

Sorry. At least it's a little Leech Seed learning experience.

Nice battle. Interesting too. Kept me reading the whole time without budging out of my chair. Pretty good predicition for both of you but I guess Da Newbie has some experience predicting.

Gooj job. Good to see BL and UU are being played more lately.
