Hello again. It's my second war story here. And today, I've decided to use my team that includes only 1st generation pokemon. I have been asked to battle someone by the name of DaHeala. Here are our teams. Mine on top, his team on the bottom.
Notice something that 5/6 of his team has in common?
Standard rules apply. I left out leftovers and poison damage. If an attack would obviously kill, then I also left out the damage.
Fishfox sent out Gengar.
DaHeala sent out Gyarados.
Gyarados' Intimidate cuts Gengar's attack.
Two very common starters square off against each other. He'll probably expect me to bolt or hypnotize. I am however one step ahead and decided to use my next trick for would-be switches.
Gengar is tightening its focus.
Gyarados used Taunt.
Gengar fell for the taunt!
Gengar used Focus Punch.
It's not very effective...
Gyarados lost 9% of its health.
Gengar lost 10% of its health.
Gengar(90%) vs Gyarados(97%)
Hmmm...I'm not too sure what's he playing at. He'd probably be dead if I decided to bolt instead. Now, I'm thinking whether to bolt him or to focus punch on the switch. I decided to go with the latter.
DaHeala switched in Blissey.
Gengar is tightening its focus.
Gengar used Focus Punch.
It's super effective!
Blissey lost 41% of its health.
Gengar lost 10% of its health.
Gengar(80%) vs Blissey(65%)
Oh great...the fat pink whore is out to wall Gengar with -1 attack. Time to switch to someone to kill her.
Fishfox switched in Machamp.
Blissey used Charm.
Machamp's attack harshly fell.
Machamp(100%) vs Blissey(71%)
Charm Bliss, eh? With choice band Machamp still can 2HKO her.
DaHeala switched in Gyarados.
Gyarados' Intimidate cut Machamp's attack.
Machamp used Close Combat.
It's not very effective...
Gyarados lost 13% of it's health.
Machamp's defense and special defense fell.
Machamp(100%) vs Gyarados(87%)
Crap! Machamp is stuck with -3 attack on CC. Gyarados will surely dance. Gengar won't like that, so I make a switch to Blastoise to force Gyara out.
Fishfox switched in Blastoise.
Gyarados used Dragon Dance.
Gyarados' raised its attack and speed.
Blastoise(100%) vs Gyarados(93%)
I forgot about taunt to prevent phasing. After a very long pause, I decided to take a risk and switch back to Gengar.
Fishfox switched in Gengar.
Gyarados used Taunt.
Gengar fell for the taunt!
Gengar(80%) vs Gyarados(99%)
Now problem here is, I'm not sure if I can outrun Gyarados. If I don't outrun him, Gengar will definitely die. If I do outrun him, he should die to bolt. Therefore, I decide to gamble and bolt him.
DaHeala switched in Blissey.
Gengar used Thunder Bolt.
Blissey lost 13% of its health.
Gengar lost 10% of its health.
Gengar(70%) vs Blissey(64%)
Charm Bliss is very very annoying. It means Gengar will never kill her with Focus Punch.
Gengar used Thunder Bolt.
Blissey lost 15% of its health.
Gengar lost 10% of its health.
Blissey used Charm.
Gengar's attack harshly fell.
Gengar(60%) vs Blissey(54%)
Blissey's life is low enough and she's forced to heal. However, if she charms, Machamp will still kill her.
Fishfox switched in Machamp.
Blissey used Soft-boiled.
Blissey regained 46% of its health.
Machamp(100%) vs Blissey(100%)
Die Blissey!
DaHeala switched in Gyarados.
Gyarados' Intimidate cut Machamp's attack.
Machamp used Thunder Punch.
It's super effective!
Gyarados lost 96% of its health.
Machamp(100%) vs Gyarados(9%)
Ahahaha! I predicted he'd switch to Gyarados there. Unfortunately, Intimidate makes TPunch short of OHKO. No point leaving Gyarados barely alive out there, right?
Gyarados used Waterfall.
Machamp lost 30% of its health.
Machamp used Thunder Punch.
It's super effective!
Gyarados fainted!
(6-5 me)
DaHeala sent out Hitmontop.
Hitmontop's intimidate cuts Machamp's attack.
And Machamp draws first blood! So Hitmontop is now sent in to fight Machamp. I don't usually see him around unless it's a UU match.
Anyway, I'll switch back to Gengar to scout him out. With -2 attack, Machamp prolly won't stay in anyway.
Fishfox switched in Gengar.
DaHeala switched in Salamence.
Salamence's intimidate cuts Gengar's attack.
Hmmm...Salamence. Gengar is probably going to die soon anyway, so rather than risk Hypnosis missing, I'll just dish out whatever damage I can to Salamence while scouting its moveset.
Gengar used Shadow Ball.
Salamence lost 52% of its health.
Gengar lost 10% of its health.
Salamence used Draco Meteor.
Gengar fainted!
Salamence's special attack harshly fell.
(5-5)
Fishfox sent out Blastoise.
Great! I see that it's most probably a Specsmence since he didn't lose 10% HP. With -2 SpAttack, Blastoise has no worries coming in. I'll poison the swicth-in.
DaHeala switched in Stantler.
Stantler's intimidate cuts Blastoise's attack.
Blastoise used Toxic.
Stantler was badly poisoned.
Stantler is hurt by poison.
Blastoise(100%) vs Stantler(94%)
WTF is that? Last time I remembered, Stantler is simply an annoyer who attempts parafusion + flinch. After checking his stats I find that Stantler's defenses suck. So, surf it is.
Blastoise used Surf.
Stantler lost 39% of its health.
Stantler used Thunder Bolt.
It's super effective!
Blastoise lost 75% of its health.
Stantler is hurt by poison.
Blastoise(31%) vs Stantler (43%)
That's a total surprise when I see Stantler using Thunder Bolt. And Blastoise did surprisingly pathetic damage to Stantler. Sadly, I have to say goodbye to my most reliable Salamence counter.
Blastoise used Surf.
Stantler lost 41% of its health.
Stantler used Thunder Bolt.

Hitmontop's Intimidate cut Snorlax's attack.
Snorlax used Curse.
Snorlax's speed fell; attack and defense rose.
Snorlax(69%) vs Hitmontop(100%)
Damn all those intimidates. I really doubt Snorlax is gonna hurt anything. Fight-resist, hear you come!
Fishfox switched in Venusaur.
Hitmontop used Bulk Up.
Hitmontop's attack and defense rose.
Venusaur vs Hitmontop(both 100%)
Hmm...sleep or seed? I'll go with the former.
DaHeala switched in Arcanine.
Arcanine's Intimidate cut Venusaur's attack.
Venusaur used Sleep Powder.
Arcanine fell asleep.
Venusaur vs Arcanine(both 100%)
Oh yes! Arcanine fell asleep. Without Blastoise, I have a big problem getting rid of Arcanine, so thank god he's asleep. Another plus. I now know of his whole team. None of them resist poison, so, it's time to attack.
DaHeala switched in Blissey.
Venusaur used Sludge Bomb.
Blissey lost 12% of its health.
Blissey was poisoned!
Blissey is hurt by poison.

Blissey regained 37% of its health.
I just edited it in. Sorry I left this part out, I must've missed it while copy-pasting and re-editing the log from Notepad. This part involves some switching around with Leech Seed missing and ultimately Blissey healing. That was why Blissey was at full HP again when she went against Charizard.
DaHeala switched in Arcanine.
Arcanine's Intimidate cuts Venusaur's attack.
Venusaur used Leech Seed.
Arcanine was seeded!
Leech Seed saps Arcanine!

Can't risk Arcanine waking up. So, I switch to Snorlax.
Fishfox switched in Snorlax.
DaHeala switched in Salamence.
Salamence's Intimidate cuts Snorlax's attack.
Snorlax(75%) vs Salamence(22%)
Damn all those intimidates. But at 22% Snorlax should be able to kill it.
Salamence used Draco Meteor.
Critical hit!
Snorlax lost 75% of its health.
Snorlax fainted!
Salamence's special attack harshly fell.
(4-3 opponent)
Fishfox sent out Machamp.
Of course, a critical hit screws things over a bit.
At this point, as long as Arcanine stays asleep, I think Venusaur can pretty much wall out the rest of the team.
However, I send out Machamp as nobody have a safe switch in.
Salamence used Draco Meteor.
Critical hit!
Machamp fainted!

Blissey used Seismic Toss.
