Explosions in a Lab - an OU warstory

Well, it's that time of year again - the newest battle simulator is out, Pokemon Lab! I was just able to get on it, and decided to put up the 2nd battle i had (I believe). This was with a random battler, so keep that in mind.

Now onto with the warstory!

My Team:



In the words of the Chairman, "LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!" (Iron Chef FTW)

NatGeo sent out Nugget (lvl 100 Forretress ?)!
PkStarstorm1111 sent out Cresselia (lvl 100 Cresselia ?)!

Hmm....

Different to say the least. Never really seen a Cress lead, so this should be fairly interesting.
As far as i was thinking, Cress is a screener lead, so I think it won't be much of a threat.

PkStarstorm1111 withdrew Cresselia!
PkStarstorm1111 sent out Rotom-h (lvl 100 Rotom-h)!
Nugget used Stealth Rock!
Pointed stones float in the air around your foe's team!

Nugget is paralysed! It may be unable to move!

I kind of Knew this was coming, and I probably should have set up Toxic Spikes in retrospect, but I can't change that now.

Probably the obvious choice to go to a special wall (more so if it has screens). Still, It definitely won't like any Sp.Def drops from Earth Power or Seed Flare.

This is really good. Halved its Special Defence, and Even though it Toxic'd me I'm guessing I'm ok with Rest and Natural Cure.

Still in really good shape, especially since he brought in something That isn't resistant to Grass. Kingdra should be easy to take down If it doesn't have any defensive Investments.

Well, sweeping dreams went down the drain, but now it's time to cover that ground. Next up is one of my favorite OU walls - Dusknoir, with base 130+ in each defensive stat and Will-o-Wisp, it takes this sea beast like Captain Nemo.

Odd decision in hindsight, could have done more with the Kingdra. Probably screwed my priorities up there or something.

An uxpected surprise, but it's always welcome, especially since I'll have put in some good damage on an otherwise death fodder of a pokemon (Though this poke has swept in times past.)

The reason Scizor is used now is Bullet punch, just sayin'. But now I send in a near-perfect counter.

No idea why he went for BP again, though he may have expected a switch. It's not like he's choiced or anything. Though I was Expecting a switch to Infernape for the Lava Plume.

My Team:

Forretress @ KO'd

Shaymin @ KO'd

Kingdra @ KO'd

Jirachi @ KO'd

Infernape @ 78%

Scizor @ 22%

Momentum: Even - I'm nervous about Infernape, though If I play my cards right I will win. Overall, a standoff, since Heatran won't be able to hold back Infernape once Scizor is out.

PkStarstorm1111 wins!


Wow.. Epic game. He won by, like, less than 20%. Really came down to the wire.

So what do you guys think?

This looked really cool on Pokemon Lab, Especially with Platinum sprites.

From hereon, discuss!​
 
The ending was really disappointing because it seemed like your opponent was just toying with you. You had nothing to outspeed his Infernape and he knew it, so he wasted time by Bullet Punching and X-Scissoring your Heatran. Also, he let your Kingdra live at 2% when he had nothing to lose by doing one more attack to finish you off. He could have won right there if he had just spammed Close Combat. This battle was only close because your opponent allowed it to be close. 4/10
 
This was bad. After you his Kingdra used Iron Head I stopped reading. (I should have stopped when I saw a Cresselia leading...)

Your Heatran had just recovered health with leftovers...
 
This is ridiculous, try to post a battle with skilled players. Try practicing more, and then possibly posting a good warstory

QFT

I thought it could be decent up til then. If you have a close match against someone with an iron head kingdra, I don't want to know
 
Explosions in a lab without any pokemon using explosion in a meaningful way (well, actually without explosion at all).

And everything everyone else said.
 
Bad Title, though the formatting was really nice. Even though the battle was probably bad and the ending VERY predictable, I would give this a 3/10 for nice formatting.

Iron Head Kingdra was a big surprise, and it clearly shows the level of batlting.
 
Uhh....this isn't specifically about the warstory, but did you use Warmachine for this? And if so, how? It doesn't work for me.
 

alamaster

hello
is a Tiering Contributor Alumnusis a Past SPL Champion
Not every "close" battle is warstory worthy. Keep battling and training though, maybe in a year or so try again.
 
Iron Head Kingdra is so tech. Clearly the rest of you have no idea what you're.... *starts laughing*

K, so Iron Head Kingdra, X-Scissor over Bug Bite on Scizor, randomly switching your Kingdra in on an obvious Close Combat for no reason, random Cresselia lead.. thos ewere all things I was going to comment on, but other people beat me to it.

So I'll go with this. Why the hell would you leave Forry in on Rotom-H? What if it had Overheat? YOU HAVE A HEATRAN. It didn't even have Overheat, and you were still unable to race it with Payback.

I always try to say something positive though, so will I agree that the formatting was really nice. Try again when you have a better battle with less mistakes and a better opponent. =)
