Aerodactyl is exerting its pressure!
Aerodactyl is exerting its pressure!
Right away, I can tell this isn't going to be easy (but what ladder match is). Stone Edge is too risky, so I go for the safer Aqua Tail.
Great, another Aerodactyl lead v Aerodactyl lead...Rock Slide and hope to go first (my Aerodactyl has max speed)
Aerodactyl used Aqua Tail.
It's super effective!

6 - 5 in favor of AJ (AJ's Aero at 20%)
Well, shit. OHKOed by a Rock Slide, but at least I did some damage. Time to bring out my Rock killer.
Aqua Tail? Well, that went better than expected.
qbsuperstar03 switched in Scizor (lvl 100 Scizor ?).
Hmmm. Has to be another Bullet Punch Scizor to ruin my Stealth Rocking day.
I really want to Stealth Rock so that Hippowdon (Slack Off, Roar, Stockpile, Toxic) can be effective. Well, Lucario can arrange that and Aerodactyl can live to fight another day.

6 - 4 in favor of AJ (Lucario at 67%)
God DAMN it. Down 4-6 and he's got a fairly potent sweeper out already. Having bad memories of being 0-6ed by a Lucario that didn't even need to switch out, I go for my physical wall.
Go Aura Sphere!
qbsuperstar03 switched in Vaporeon (lvl 100 Vaporeon ?).
I am not sure what Vaporeon has got planned for Lucario... I like to run Vaporeon sometimes, and when I do, I hate statuses. Time to get on the other side of that fence.

Ah-ha, for once I read him like a book. After seeing that Blissey, I figure his best way to stop Vaporeon's special onslaught is with Toxic, but I cock-block it with Gengar. I could explode, but what after...
Alright. Gengars like Thunderbolt, Energy Ball, Hypnosis, and Shadow Ball right? Hippowdon can handle those and Gengar probably won't Shadow Ball Blissey.

Yippee, Vaporeon vs. a slow Ground-type with low SpD! Time to go for the kill and even things up!

I'll play it safe... Besides, Vaporeon loves Blissey.

A basic summary of my day up to that point. Nothing's working, all my mons dropping like flies or letting the other guy rest up...it's time to pull something unexpected. The exact same thing.

Hell yeah, time to find out what's behind door number 6.
And that was why I have always liked using Vaporeon. Well it's Vaporeon and ? against Infernape. If I had to pick any one of my pokemon to go against two, I would pick Infernape every time.

Now for the props and slops section:
Props:
-AJ, for being such a good sport about it, knowing enough to keep his Infernape in reserve to fulfill its late cleanup role (commented "vgg" afterwards) and letting me collaborate with him for this. Also, he shares my first two initials. :)
-Gengar, for putting as much of a dent in his team as he did.
-Hippowdon, for taking hits when he needed to for AJ.
Slops:
-Myself, for generally bad play throughout (Stone Edge would have OHKOed his lead Aero but I didn't want to take such a risk that early, not switching in Breloom on Hippowdon, not using Superpower on Blissey because I feared a switch-out, and miscellaneous stupidity)
Formatted with Fingers To The Bone, version 1.0 (Translation: I formatted and added all the tags myself from the raw log, the only bit contributed by AJ being his insights)

I can hear you guys jeering at me now that Focus Punch would have been perfect for the situation. Well, I don't have it on this guy because I'm bad at prediction and it was one of those days.

Gengar? Well, that was why I chose Megahorn, it does more to frail Gengar than Close Combat. And Stealth Rock has been doing its job.

One singlehanded kill, two cleanups, and weakening his physical wall...RIP, Gengar. You will be missed.
Ouch. Add Explosion to that list of Gengar death up there... I can't believe I didn't see that coming.
Time to get Hippowdon in there to make something happen again.

2 - 1 in favor of QB (Vaporeon at 63%)
Hell yeah, time to find out what's behind door number 6.
And that was why I have always liked using Vaporeon. Well it's Vaporeon and ? against Infernape. If I had to pick any one of my pokemon to go against two, I would pick Infernape every time. I can't be sure Grass Knot or Stone Edge will kill Vaporeon so I will have to risk dropping my defenses with Close Combat.

1 - 1 (Infernape at 84%)
And just like that, my window of opportunity slams shut. The only thing I've got left is Blissey, and he only needs the move he revealed to win this. I was going to take out the idle chat, but I left this one in.
qbsuperstar03: DAMMIT.
Reading that, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Now for the props and slops section:
Props:
-AJ, for being such a good sport about it, knowing enough to keep his Infernape in reserve to fulfill its late cleanup role (commented "vgg" afterwards) and letting me collaborate with him for this. Also, he shares my first two initials. :)
-Gengar, for putting as much of a dent in his team as he did.
-Hippowdon, for taking hits when he needed to for AJ.
Slops:
-Myself, for generally bad play throughout (Stone Edge would have OHKOed his lead Aero but I didn't want to take such a risk that early, not switching in Breloom on Hippowdon, not using Superpower on Blissey because I feared a switch-out, and miscellaneous stupidity)
Formatted with Fingers To The Bone, version 1.0 (Translation: I formatted and added all the tags myself from the raw log, the only bit contributed by AJ being his insights)
