The Lucario Mach-3 Razor! Guaranteed to Make the Battle a Close Shave! (OU Warstory)

[Eon Master]

Hey people, how's it going? Time for my first (technically second) Serebii warstory.

This was a ladder match between me and bt05 on Shoddy, to test out my newest team. It was a pretty decent battle, once I started taking it seriously. It ended up with a nice finish, so I decided to post it on here. Enjoy!

Hmm... I'm a bit rusty on LeadTar, but iirc it has Stone Edge, Payback, Rest, and SR. Of these, I don't want SR on the field or it Resting off damage, so I go with Taunt.

Tyranitar fell for the taunt!

Ugh, MixTar or Tyraniboah. He was probably using it to fake LeadTar and KO the opposing lead while it used Taunt. Clever, but not good enough. Machamp will make short work of him. 5-6

So he knew he couldn't switch into Machamp and sacrificed Ttar. Superpower did a bit more damage than I had anticipated, but it's not a big problem. 5-5

I really need to stop overestimating Machamp's Defenses. He's no Suicune. Shaymin should outspeed and OHKO with Earth Power, so I'll switch. 4-5

For god's sake, I need to stop screwing around. He's making a fool out of me. Leech Seed should put a stop to his antics, but if it's a Trick Sweeper, I'm going to have a problem later.

=/ Great, exactly what I didn't want to happen. However, his next move will almost certainly be Shadow Ball, meaning I can switch in ScarfTran and get the leg up on him.

Wait, it landed? That means it's most likely a ShucaTran, but that won't save him at only 38% health. He'll most likely scrifice it, it's not going to help him much in the long run. 3-5

I decided to take a gamble here, and it's going to pay off. The Lefties recovery tells me that he's got a Defensive CMLatias, and the fact that he switched it into Heatran tells me he's got Surf on it, rather than HP Fire. Game over for Latias, Bug Bite for the OHKO.

I don't know why I didn't use Bullet Punch, maybe I didn't care anymore. Either way, I know I'll probably win this thanks to my two Scarfed sweepers. 2-3

That's what I get for being stupid and not exploiting every edge I can. Had I used Bullet Punch, I would have won easily, instead of it coming down to the wire like it will now.

He predicted the switch to Shaymin, but it makes no difference. Now for an OHKO with Seed Flare. So long as I predict his Lucario correctly, he has no chance.

F*ck. I was expecting him to predict a switch to Heatran and spam Close Combat, but he did the smart thing and went with Swords Dance. Now he can KO Shaymin with Extremespeed, and as weakened as Heatran is, Max damage will likely KO.

*has a heart attack* I actually won?! Wow, not what I expected. Thank you, damage gods. Final score: 1-0 in my favor.

+Props and Slops+​

Props:

My Heatran: For killing or assisting 3 members of the opposing team.

My Shaymin: For the assists on Rotom and Lucario, as well as the Swampert OHKO.

My Opponent: For playing an excellent game that nearly outwitted me in the end.

His Lucario: For wiping out two of my strongest team members and almost finishing a third.

Slops:

Me: For not taking the battle seriously from the beginning.

My Opponent: For not putting HP Fire on Latias. Heatran isn't as much a threat to his team as Scizor is.

Me Again: For becoming overconfident and not Bullet Punching Rotom when I had the chance.


Well, what did you think? Was this battle good enough? What could I improve on in picking out my next warstory? do yew leik mudkipz?

Thanks, and until next time.

Eon Out ;197;

 

[calze6]

Wow! It was a good battle and it was close!

 

[Eon Master]

Wow! It was a good battle and it was close!

Thanks, calze. I know you don't give compliments like that easily. I'm not usually serious unless someone starts making a fool out of me, in which case the battle usually ends up like this one did, me coming back from three down to win, though not always as close.

 

[Hughesy]

I like your style. Enjoyed

 

[Trainer 9000]

I can't believe how close that was. 5% HP left on your last pokemon? i haven't seen a match that close in my whole life

 

[Angeltripper]

thats awesome. good job on winning.

 

[catron]

awsome story, loved it.

 

[LostMetagross]

That was absloutly GENIUS! I Normally et bored within the first 3 words and just dont complement. But this. This was SOMTHING ELSE. Your Great!!!!

 

[shadowsfalling19]

Standard Lead Tar runs Ice Beam. Just saying.

Good battle.

 

[Eon Master]

^Lol, no. Standard LeadTar ran exactly what I said it did (Stealth Rock, Payback, Stone Edge, Rest). I'd show you the set on Smogon, but they removed it since then, so I can't

And lol @ bumping this thing.

I love my Lucario

I once had a close call myself on PBR. I was using (I think?) Ninjask, Rhyperior, and Lucario. Enemy was using Salmence, Metagross, and Milotic.

Battle started out with my Ninjask using Swords Dance, Milotic of course used Ice Beam, but I had my Focus Sash. I use Baton Pass to switch to Rhyperior, but the milotic used Surf. So, switch back to Ninjask, got a X-Scissor on him before getting KOed. So now it's just my Sp. Attack Lucario left. Predicting my Aura Sphere (or any fighting move in general), he switches to Salmence. Does little damage of course. He uses Dragon Claw (guess his Salmence didnt have a super effective move) Doesn't do much to Luc, I use Dragon Pulse and KO it. Next out is Metagross. I use Sphere, does %50, He uses Psychic, and take Luc to red or near red. I use Sphere and KO Metagross, so now it's mildly wounded Milotic vs. badly wounded Lucario. This is the epic fail on his part and the epic win on mine. I use Sphere and almost kill it put it's not enough, but then...Milotic uses.....Ice Beam. Lucario hangs on by the skin of his teeth and finishes Milotic off with Aura Sphere.

This has happened another time with an enemy that was using a KYOGYRE. Moral of the story is: Do not underestimate Lucario, and also always have at least most of your pokemon carry move super ffective to Steel. ;448;
