My last warstory, an OU one called Too Close for Comfort, was deemed as a horrible battle with okay comments. Thanks for your support for the future rather than flaming me, as this has resulted in a second attempt. This time, I'm broadcasting a pretty decent Ubers battle, It turned out to be pretty close and fun battle. I hope you enjoy it, if only slightly.
My opponent is eValentino, who I had just battled only minutes ago. I won due to extreme Parahax harming him, so he asked for a rematch. I accepted, and this battle turned out to be really fun.
Notes:
My team:
eValentino's team:
eValentino's team is revealed here because I knew it prior to this match.
LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!
Rules: Evasion Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Sleep Clause, Soul Dew Clause, Species Clause, Timed Battle
eValentino sent out Deoxys (lvl 100 Deoxys-f).
Spenstar sent out Epic (lvl 100 Groudon).
Deoxys-f is exerting its pressure!
Groudon's Drought intensified the sun's rays!
The sun began to shine!
Deoxys-f used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!
Groudon used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!
The sun continues to shine.
Groudon: 100% and glaring at Deoxys-f
Deoxys-f: 100% and glaring at Groudon
Spenstar: again, good luck
eValentino: gl
Anachronism has entered the room.
The battle begins. eValentino and I exchange GLs and the former's old friend shows up to watch the madness. Meanwhile, our leads use Stealth Rock on the first turn, causing some heat on the battlefield outside of the harsh sunlight. I opt for a Thunder Wave. His Deoxys-f may be faster even after a t-wave, (my Groudon runs minimum speed to gain weather advantage against Kyogre leads) I like my odds with my good friend parahax, so I go for it.
Deoxys-f used Shadow Ball.
Groudon lost 23% of its health.
Groudon used Thunder Wave.
Deoxys-f is paralysed! It may be unable to move!
The sun continues to shine.
Groudon: 77% and very happy
Deoxys-f: 100%, paralyzed, and annoyed
My Groudon is bulky, very bulky, but that Shadow Ball did laughable damage to my Groudon coming from a Deoxys-f, so I take a little bit of time to ponder the placement of its EVs. From our previous battle, I know that the opposing Deoxys-f uses a focus sash, so I can't KO this turn anyway. I hope for a parahax as I use my next move.
Deoxys-f is paralysed! It can't move!
Groudon used Fire Punch.
Deoxys-f lost 186% of its health.
Deoxys-f hung on using its Focus Sash!
The sun continues to shine.
Groudon: 77% and laughing hysterically
Deoxys-f: 1HP, paralyzed, and simply miserable
Spenstar: parahax again?
Spenstar: -_-
eValentino: well that's only 1, let's see if we go up to 4 again
Allow me to explain. In our last match, parahax struck eValentino a total of four times. Here, my best ally makes its first move, and we only wonder if it'll continue to screw my opponent over. Now Deoxys-f has no choice but to try and Shadow Ball me again before dying, because if it switches out, it's dead by Stealth Rock anyway. I select Fire Punch, ready to finish off the intergalactic punching bag.
Deoxys is paralysed! It can't move!
Epic used Fire Punch.
Deoxys lost 215% of its health.
eValentino's Deoxys became a fried chicken platter.
The sun continues to shine.
eValentino switched in Kyogre (lvl 100 Kyogre).
Kyogre's Drizzle caused a storm!
The sun faded.
Rain began to fall!
Pointed stones dug into Kyogre.
Kyogre lost 12% of its health.
6-5, Spenstar
Groudon: 77% and scared to death
Kyogre: 88% and blowing me a raspberry
Spenstar: 2
eValentino: 2
Spenstar: maybe that one deoxys is prone to it more than anyone else
eValentino: I swear my individual pokemon are defective
eValentino: my Darkrai can't hit Dark Void to save its life
Spenstar: wow
Anachronism: seems like 100% acc moves are for you lol
eValentino: my RayQ and my Kyogre seem fine, and it's too soon to tell with Kingdra
While we playfully tally the number of paraxahes up to two and talk about my opponent's bad luck, Kyogre darkens the sky with its presence and makes Groudon fearful for its life. I KNOW that Water Spout or Surf will OHKO, and I also know that I want Groudon later in the game to weaken Kyogre (and Kingdra) with Droubt. My only decent switch-in is Blissey, so in she comes!
Spenstar switched in Bliss (lvl 100 Blissey ?).
Pointed stones dug into Blissey.
Blissey lost 12% of its health.
Kyogre used Water Spout.
Blissey lost 59% of its health.
The rain continues to fall.
Blissey's leftovers restored its health a little!
Blissey restored 6% of its health.
Blissey: 35% and crying like a little baby
Kyogre: 88% and having a blast
So much for being a Special Wall... I guess I should be glad it didn't OHKO, but I made a mental note to work up Blissey's EVs a tad afterward. Knowing full well that Blissey is done for, I keep her in. She accomplished her mission anyway.
Kyogre used Water Spout.
Blissey lost 65% of its health.
Spenstar's Blissey was sent to a watery grave.
The rain continues to fall.
Spenstar switched in Groudon (lvl 100 Groudon).
Groudon's Drought intensified the sun's rays!
The rain stopped.
The sun began to shine!
Pointed stones dug into Groudon.
Groudon lost 6% of its health.
5-5 Tie
Groudon: 71% and saying its prayers
Kyogre: 88% and getting a sunburn
Groudon enters to soften Water Spout blows with the sunlight, but I still suspect an attack that powerful will KO my land lord. (not to be confused with landlord) I go for a thunder wave and pray that the sun and the lack of rain is enough to ensure Groudon's survival.
Kyogre used Water Spout.
It's super effective!
Groudon lost 95% of its health.
Spenstar's Groudon's will was soaked!
The sun continues to shine.

Deoxys-f lost 12% of its health.
4-5 eValentino
Deoxys-f: 88% and slathering on sunscreen
Kyogre: 88% and backing away slowly
No such luck. At least the rain won't be returning. In comes MY epic Deoxys-f to take Groudon's place. He's more worried about the sun burning his fragile alien skin than about Kyogre, because OHKOing beasts like Kyogre is just his job, his routine. I click thunder and set the table for fried fish, and...
eValentino switched in Rayquaza (lvl 100 Rayquaza).
Pointed stones dug into Rayquaza.
Rayquaza lost 25% of its health.
Deoxys-f used Thunder.
Rayquaza lost 72% of its health.
Deoxys-f lost 10% of its health.
The sun continues to shine.
Deoxys-f: 78% and really frustrated, and hungry too.
Rayquaza: 3% and tanning nicely while writing out HIS will.
...again, no such luck. Looks like we'll be getting rain again in this battle. Meanwhile, SR and thunder damage from the amazing Deoxys-f prepares Rayquaza for its last attack. I know it runs Life Orb, so that's why. I also know it runs Extremespeed and my Deoxys-f will be quickly OHKO'd, so I switch in Lugia, my best bet for taking the hit.
Spenstar switched in Luge (lvl 100 Lugia).
Lugia is exerting its pressure!
Pointed stones dug into Luge.
Lugia lost 25% of its health.
Rayquaza used Extremespeed.

4-4 tie
Lugia: 60% and exhausted
Darkrai: 88% and singing a lullaby
Lugia takes the hit well, though the damage between it and Stealth Rock isn't looking too good. I go for a Roost, hoping that Dark Void will miss.
Darkrai used Dark Void.
Lugia fell asleep!
Lugia is fast asleep!
The sun continues to shine.
Lugia lost 12% of its health.
Lugia's leftovers restored its health a little!
Lugia restored 6% of its health.
Lugia: 54% and snoozin'
Darkrai: 88% and thinking Nasty thoughts
eValentino: YOU DID IT DARKRAI
Spenstar: damn!
Shit, that didn't go so well. Now this Darkrai gets a free turn as I put Lugia to bed,i sing it a lulaby, and decide who to switch in. I have no idea what kind of Darkrai this is, (it got OHKO'd last time by a superpower) I switch in Kyogre and hope for the best.
Spenstar switched in Flood (lvl 100 Kyogre).
Kyogre's Drizzle caused a storm!
The sun faded.
Rain began to fall!
Pointed stones dug into Kyogre.
Kyogre lost 12% of its health.
Darkrai used Nasty Plot.
Darkrai's special attack was sharply raised.
The rain continues to fall.
Kyogre's leftovers restored its health a little!
Kyogre restored 6% of its health.
Kyogre: 94% and singin' in the rain
Darkrai: 88% and smirking with a +2 SPA bonus
Shit, it's a Nasty Plot Darkrai. This means that it could potentially sweep my team. Nothing I have left could take a Nasty Plot STAB Dark Pulse, so I just stayed in and surfed, hoping my sea beast lives.
Darkrai used Focus Blast.
Darkrai's attack missed!
Kyogre used Surf.
Darkrai lost 101% of its health.
eValentino's Darkrai fell asleep -- forever.
The rain continues to fall.
Kyogre's leftovers restored its health a little!

4-3 Spenstar
Kyogre: 100% and proud of iteself.
Kingdra: 88% and Swift Swimmin'
Spenstar: Oh god that was scary
Spenstar: why not use STAB Dark Pulse instead?
eValentino: now there's the darkrai I'm used to
Spenstar: lol
eValentino: Focus Blast has better coverage, and I thought you might switch on me
Apparently eValentino overpredicted, went with a Focus Blast, and was murdered by hax. Anyway, in comes Kingdra, and I recoil at the fact that swift swim was activated due to the rain. In other words, Kyogre's dead. But since anything I have left will be killed on the switch, I stick around and Thunder it, praying for some more hax.
Kingdra used Outrage.
Kingdra went on a rampage!
Kyogre lost 61% of its health.
Kyogre used Thunder.
Kingdra lost 56% of its health.
The rain continues to fall.
Kyogre's leftovers restored its health a little!
Kyogre restored 6% of its health.
Kyogre: 45%and worn out

Oh well, no hax. Kyogre did nicely in doing what it had to do. Good job, Kyogre. I switch in Lugia as death fodder, not ready to give up on Kyogre just yet.
Spenstar switched in Lugia (lvl 100 Lugia).
Lugia is exerting its pressure!

3-3 Tie
Wobbuffet: 88% and mindlessly happy
Kingdra: 45% and rampagin'
Goodbye Lugia, you've been good sleep fodder while you lasted. Taking note that the rampage was still going on, I switch in my lipgloss-wearing Wobbufet and select conter, hoping for the best. With my Wobbufet, I usually get the best.
Kingdra used Outrage.
Wobbuffet lost 40% of its health.
Wobbuffet used Counter.
Kingdra lost 145% of its health.

Pointed stones dug into Scizor.
Scizor lost 12% of its health.
3-2 Spenstar
Wobbufet: 54% and still cheerful
Scizor: 88% and smirking evilly.
Ah, that's always satisfying, as Reik said in his warstory after pwning a Gengar with a Draco Meteor. It's just the same: trapped into using Outrage, Kingdra is completely destroyed by its own power. (on a side note, Reik's warstory partially inspired this one) Now Scizor's out on the field, and I decide to try and counter it again. What's the worst that can happen, right?
Scizor used U-turn.
It's super effective!
Wobbuffet lost 67% of its health.
Spenstar's Wobbuffet is no longer happy.

Pointed stones dug into Avatar.
Deoxys-f lost 12% of its health.
2-2 Tie
Deoxys-f: 56% and pumped up
Kyogre: 66% with train tickets outta here
eValentino: oh the joys of bug type
Spenstar: yeah
Apparently, that's the worst that can happen. It's still a 2-2 tie, and my all-mighty Deoxys-f happens to be staring down the very Kyogre that it stared down after it killed Groudon and Blissey. I eagerly select thunder, ready for revenge...
eValentino switched in Scizor (lvl 100 Scizor ?).
Pointed stones dug into Scizor.
Scizor lost 12% of its health.
Deoxys-f used Thunder.
Scizor lost 48% of its health.
Deoxys-f lost 10% of its health.
The rain continues to fall.
Deoxys-f: 46% and thinking up complex strategies and predictions
Scizor: 22% and doing the robot
And just like last time Deoxys-f stared that water legend down, it panicked like a baby and ran like hell. In comes Scizor to take the hit, and even if hax HAD paralyzed it, this would still be the climatic moment of the battle. This is where wit collides. We're on a collision course, and only one of us will survive. I don't know much about this Scizor, but I must assume it knows both Pursuit and Bullet Punch, both of which can KO my LO weak Deoxys-f. If I stay, I risk a Bullet Punch. If I flee, I risk Pursuit. Pressure mounts and things seem hopeless, when I remember: he's in the same tight spot I'm in! If he Bullet Punches, he risks switching into Kyogre that I have in the wings and being doomed, and if he uses pursuit, he risks getting KOd by Thunder. I decide to analyze the situation with all the possible options.
In both of our previous battles, Deoxys-f has always ran away from his Rayquaza in fear of OHKO by Extremespeed, or in this case, Bullet Punch. Predcting another switch, I would promptly pursuit and proceed to victory. Okay, now that I know what he should do, I will act accordingly: I will stay in and Thunder. But if he out-predicts me, I'm dead. It all comes down to this...
(dramatic pause)
Deoxys-f used Thunder.
Scizor lost 43% of its health.

2-1 Spenstar
Deoxys-f: 36% and cracking its knuckles
Kyogre: 66% and screwed
Spenstar: phew
YES!! YES YES YES!!! I predicted right! This means that Deoxys-f is in the clear to zap Kyogre to a crisp. This is it, this is game! After two encounters where Kyogre fleed for its life and just barely avoided a thunder, this time, it's time for it to own up to what it did. I think I hear lightning flashing!
Deoxys-f used Thunder.
It's super effective!
Kyogre lost 68% of its health.
eValentino's Kyogre turned into fried fish.
Spenstar wins!
2-0 Spenstar wins!!

- Play-by-play will be in bold
- Comments will be in Itallics, but long conversations in chat will be omitted
- My commentary will be plainly written
- The score will be given after each KO
- If two pokemon of the same species is on the field, mine will have a * next to its name.

Apparently eValentino overpredicted, went with a Focus Blast, and was murdered by hax. Anyway, in comes Kingdra, and I recoil at the fact that swift swim was activated due to the rain. In other words, Kyogre's dead. But since anything I have left will be killed on the switch, I stick around and Thunder it, praying for some more hax.
Kingdra used Outrage.
Kingdra went on a rampage!
Kyogre lost 61% of its health.
Kyogre used Thunder.

The rain continues to fall.
Kyogre's leftovers restored its health a little!
Kyogre restored 6% of its health.
Kyogre: 45%and worn out
Kingdra: 44% and on a rampage
Oh well, no hax. Kyogre did nicely in doing what it had to do. Good job, Kyogre. I switch in Lugia as death fodder, not ready to give up on Kyogre just yet.
Spenstar switched in Lugia (lvl 100 Lugia).
Lugia is exerting its pressure!
Pointed stones dug into Lugia.
Lugia lost 25% of its health.
Kingdra used Outrage.
Lugia lost 35% of its health.
Spenstar's Lugia died peacefully.
The rain continues to fall.

Pointed stones dug into Wobbuffet.
Wobbuffet lost 12% of its health.
3-3 Tie
Wobbuffet: 88% and mindlessly happy
Kingdra: 45% and rampagin'
Goodbye Lugia, you've been good sleep fodder while you lasted. Taking note that the rampage was still going on, I switch in my lipgloss-wearing Wobbufet and select conter, hoping for the best. With my Wobbufet, I usually get the best.
Kingdra used Outrage.
Wobbuffet lost 40% of its health.
Wobbuffet used Counter.

eValentino switched in Scizor (lvl 100 Scizor ?).
Pointed stones dug into Scizor.

3-2 Spenstar
Wobbufet: 54% and still cheerful
Scizor: 88% and smirking evilly.
Ah, that's always satisfying, as Reik said in his warstory after pwning a Gengar with a Draco Meteor. It's just the same: trapped into using Outrage, Kingdra is completely destroyed by its own power. (on a side note, Reik's warstory partially inspired this one) Now Scizor's out on the field, and I decide to try and counter it again. What's the worst that can happen, right?
Scizor used U-turn.
It's super effective!
Wobbuffet lost 67% of its health.
Spenstar's Wobbuffet is no longer happy.

Deoxys-f is exerting its pressure!
Pointed stones dug into Avatar.
Deoxys-f lost 12% of its health.
2-2 Tie
Deoxys-f: 56% and pumped up
Kyogre: 66% with train tickets outta here
eValentino: oh the joys of bug type
Spenstar: yeah
Apparently, that's the worst that can happen. It's still a 2-2 tie, and my all-mighty Deoxys-f happens to be staring down the very Kyogre that it stared down after it killed Groudon and Blissey. I eagerly select thunder, ready for revenge...
eValentino switched in Scizor (lvl 100 Scizor ?).
Pointed stones dug into Scizor.
Scizor lost 12% of its health.
Deoxys-f used Thunder.
Scizor lost 48% of its health.
Deoxys-f lost 10% of its health.
The rain continues to fall.
Deoxys-f: 46% and thinking up complex strategies and predictions
Scizor: 22% and doing the robot
And just like last time Deoxys-f stared that water legend down, it panicked like a baby and ran like hell. In comes Scizor to take the hit, and even if hax HAD paralyzed it, this would still be the climatic moment of the battle. This is where wit collides. We're on a collision course, and only one of us will survive. I don't know much about this Scizor, but I must assume it knows both Pursuit and Bullet Punch, both of which can KO my LO weak Deoxys-f. If I stay, I risk a Bullet Punch. If I flee, I risk Pursuit. Pressure mounts and things seem hopeless, when I remember: he's in the same tight spot I'm in! If he Bullet Punches, he risks switching into Kyogre that I have in the wings and being doomed, and if he uses pursuit, he risks getting KOd by Thunder. I decide to analyze the situation with all the possible options.
- Deoxys-f switches into Kyogre, who takes a bullet punch from Scizor
- Deoxys-f stays in and KOs with thunder
- Deoxys-f stays in and is KOd by Bullet Punch
- Deoxys switches out and is KOd by pursuit
In both of our previous battles, Deoxys-f has always ran away from his Rayquaza in fear of OHKO by Extremespeed, or in this case, Bullet Punch. Predcting another switch, I would promptly pursuit and proceed to victory. Okay, now that I know what he should do, I will act accordingly: I will stay in and Thunder. But if he out-predicts me, I'm dead. It all comes down to this...
(dramatic pause)
Deoxys-f used Thunder.
Scizor lost 43% of its health.

2-1 Spenstar
Deoxys-f: 36% and cracking its knuckles
Kyogre: 66% and screwed
Spenstar: phew
YES!! YES YES YES!!! I predicted right! This means that Deoxys-f is in the clear to zap Kyogre to a crisp. This is it, this is game! After two encounters where Kyogre fleed for its life and just barely avoided a thunder, this time, it's time for it to own up to what it did. I think I hear lightning flashing!
Deoxys-f used Thunder.
It's super effective!
