This is why I carry Rapidash though; where Wigglytuff at +2 failed to do much with Hyper Voice, Rapidash easily OHKOed it with Flare Blitz and still survive. Granted, I could only use it for fodder after that since it was too low to switch in with Rocks on my side of the field but it's no big. He would've killed it with Mach Punch anyway. Using it as fodder also taught me that my opponent's Electabuzz not only was Special, but most likely carried HP Psychic or Ground (and was later in the match proven to be Ground). His Scyther was another problem for my team, even after my Rocks went up; seriously, Smogon, Scyther is at least RU worthy, if not UU. I ended up having to fodder off several teammates to it, but finally managed to survive an Aerial Ace with my Dragalge, allowing me to smack it back with Dragon Tail, and from there the plethora of entry hazards I'd laid up on the field, as well as Dragalge's power as a Specially defensive wall, helped me finish him off.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/nubeta-146072876 - This time I lead with Golurk, despite it being a rather meh lead, because I saw how heavy this guy's Fighting weakness was, and sure enough, he lead off with an Onix. His Primeape had me a bit worried, and it proved to be a decent threat as a pivot, but Wigglytuff was able to handle its U-Turns easily. Pyroar was an underestimated threat, most likely a Specs user based on how badly its Fire Blast damaged my Ludicolo, but some lucky hax on my part got it taken down when it missed the second FB and I OHKOed it with Scald. I have to admit I'm not sure what he was thinking with his Frogadier, considering it was carrying both Hydro Pump and Surf, but eh, whatever. From there I feel I made some pretty decent predictions; his Electivire locked itself into Cross Chop against Golurk, and either he wanted to fodder it off or expected me to switch, because I killed it next turn when it used Cross Chop a second time. Not that it would have mattered; if he wasn't Scarfed, I'd have outsped him. Once his Frogadier was down, with him having lost four team members and my entire team still jumping, he pretty much had no options left besides forfeiting, I guess; even if he hadn't, either Golurk would have swept with Drain Punch or Earthquake, or I could have finished his Pawniard with Rapidash's Flare Blitz and Primeape with Wigglytuff's Dazzling Gleam.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/nubeta-146074604 - This guy actually ran a somewhat surprising team. I ran Rapidash to start since most of his team would be outsped by it, and I was able to completely wreck his Politoed, then bring Crustle in on Sawk's EQ so it could start hazarding up (since I could already see he lacked a Spinner or Defogger). His Leavanny actually turned out to be a rather interesting variant - a Screenanny, and while he did get his screens up as well as putting a Toxic on my Crustle, it was at the cost of me getting Rocks and two layers of Spikes, and since I was able to Knock Off his Light Clay before he screened up, it shortened the duration of them to long enough for me to do so. I'll admit at turn 12 I was intending to sacrifice my Dragalge in an attempt to stall out his screens, so I totally did not see it surviving Sawk's EQ, but it did, and it earned me a layer of T-Spikes as well as giving me a chance to use Dragalge as fodder later on if necessary. At this point I knew his Leavanny would be dead if it switched in as fodder itself, and opted for one last layer of Spikes on Crustle. Mismagius was another one I didn't expect to survive, but he made the mistake of trying to setup, probably predicting a switch, and lost it to a Knock Off. From there I was able to bring in Wigglytuff to get a Competitive boost from Sticky Web and sweep the floor with Dazzling Gleam.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/nubeta-146077107 - LITTLE CUP TEAM!!! Of course, that didn't mean it was only hugs I'd be using to squeeze his guys to bits. I saw a pretty glaring weakness to Fairy considering he had three Fighting types and two Dark types (both of those including a Scraggy), so I lead off with Wigglytuff. He got some pretty lucky hax when I swapped my Golurk in, predicting his Meditite to use HJK, and instead took a critical Psycho Cut to the face and got it OHKOed. Which was a real shame since it would have saved me a HUGE headache much later in the game. I figured he might be running Curselax, and I was mostly right, except instead of Curse he was using Whirlwind. Why I have no idea, I guess to get Ghosts out of the way, whatever. Between Rapidash, Rocks, and a layer of T-Spikes, I was able to cripple a pretty decent chunk of his team. I think his Mienfoo staying in on Wigglytuff was his biggest mistake, as I as not only able to destroy it with Dazzling Gleam, but also got healed for most of the damage it'd taken with a Wish. I do wish I'd gotten a Heal Bell off, but considering he still had Porygon with T-Wave and Munchlax with Body Slam, I figured the Paralysis was gonna be there to stay regardless. I almost had to feel bad when he got Frozen by my Ludicolo's Ice Beam, but the hax gods were feeling especially fair today I guess, since he instantly thawed. Once his Murkrow was done, it was just a war of who would last longer that lasted for the next 30+ turns, and though he took down Wigglytuff, Ludicolo proved to be an effective counter to his Porygon once its Eviolite was knocked off, and Crustle was able to handle Munchlax well even when it still held Eviolite (which he pretty desperately clung to, I might note). I'm guessing once his Porygon was toast and it became a 1 against 3 match, he realized he was gonna run out of PP well before I would, and just headed off for regions unknown.
), but that's hardly a gameplay issue.
