I ended 12-3 for today but I'm really angry at myself for it... It should have been 15-0, but hey, shit happens.
1st loss: I was 2 vs 2 with my electivire and lanturn. Eartquake + protect was the best option, but I misclicked because I received an important phone call. Lanturn gets obviously killed because of my own earthquake, and one of the opposing pokemon was killed as well, while the other was an ampharos which resisted with red health. It killed my electivire... If I had used protect I'd have obviously won that one with my lanturn, which is faster than ampharos and could have easily killed him with an ice beam.
2nd loss: 4 vs 2 against a Japanese guy who was using some random pokemon, very easy to beat. Both of his pokemon had low health and one of them was burned. I was about to Eartquake them, but I obviously lose the connection.
3rd loss: We were 2 vs 2, one of his pokemon is going to die next turn because of the burn. My pokemon were lanturn and eelektross, he had Ampharos and another pokemon I don't remember. Anyway, I totally forget about the time and it runs out, so my attacks are stupid. One of the mons dies because of the burn, my lanturn dies as well and it's eelektross vs ampharos. I could only hope for a crit. I go with Drain Punch and Dragon Tail, but he uses Cotton Guard and I was almost hopeless. Anyway, I'm able to resist the hit I thought would have killed me and use drain punch, but he remains with the lowest HP possible lol It must have been 1-2 HP, so I die in the same turn with dragon pulse.
Anyway, I found the Wi-Fi tournament a lot easier than Showdown, where I was in the mid 1300 - early 1400 rank. Or maybe it's because I'm not missing Icy Wind very often and I am not "losing the speed tie - flinch because of rock slide - receiving a crit that mattered from the other pokemon", which is what happened in one of my last matches on Showdown. Man, I can't believe how much hax was into it. Icy Wind looked like a 50% precision move and I was losing every speed tie lol
I was afraid of Japanese guys, but they were the weakest ones lol Pikachu might not get in the top 3. I've used it around 5-6 times, and I didn't find many Pikachu against.
I really like my team and so far it's working very well. I changed my electivire's item at the last minute, without even trying it Showdown and it's already saved me once, so that's cool. I'll post my team as soon as the competition ends, hoping you all have fun and get a good rank!
Also, USE PIKACHU!!
