The foe's Politoed's Drizzle made it rain!
warstory-image.php


I see he's using a Rain team so I used my Rotom-H(Mistake number 1)to get his Politoed even though I had no idea if it was scarfed or defensive Politoed.

Turn 1

**** called Politoed back!
**** sent out Jolteon!

Rotom-H used Volt Switch!
The foe's Jolteon's Volt Absorb absorbs the attack!
Rain continues to fall!
warstory-image.php


When he switched to Jolt I assumed he was running Defensive Politoed and here comes mistake number2...

Turn 2

The foe's Jolteon used Substitute!
The foe's Jolteon made a substitute!

Rotom-H used Trick!
The foe's Jolteon's Substitute blocked Trick!
Rain continues to fall!
warstory-image.php


My Rotom is holding a Flame Orb in order to burn Dragonites or Tyranitars that come in thinking I'm locked to Overheat.I know he has a Dragonite on his team...but what do I do?I try to burn his Jolt-_-

Turn 3

D.Gray called Rotom-H back!
D.Gray sent out Ninetales!

Ninetales's Drought intensified the sun's rays!

The foe's Jolteon used Thunder!
Ninetales lost 66% of its health!
Ninetales was paralyzed!
The sunlight is strong!

Ninetales restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
warstory-image.php


K now even though I have a Dugtrio I decide to go to Ninetales(though in my defense I didn't want him to spam 100%accurate Thunders).He hits Thunder in Sun and paralyzes me...

Turn 4

**** called Jolteon back!
**** sent out Dugtrio!

D.Gray called Ninetales back!

warstory-image.php


He goes for Earthquake I go for Rocks(I like to think that this was my first non-stupid move of the match)

Turn 6

Dugtrio used Sucker Punch!
But it failed!

The foe's Dugtrio used Stealth Rock!
Pointed stones float in the air around D.Gray's team!
The sunlight is strong!
warstory-image.php



I honestly thought he was Choice so I went for Sucker Punch hoping to at least deal some damage to it before dying...but no...he was sashed... and got Rocks up.
Turn 7

Dugtrio used Sucker Punch!
The foe's Dugtrio lost 60% of its health!

The foe's Dugtrio used Earthquake!

D.Gray sent out Dragonite!
Pointed stones dug into Dragonite!
warstory-image.php



Nothing to do now besides using Sucker Punch and let him kill me.Anyways I see his team doesn't have a single Steel type so I figured Dnite could at least deal some damage to him
Turn 8

**** called Dugtrio back!
**** sent out Politoed!
Pointed stones dug into the foe's Politoed!

The foe's Politoed's Drizzle made it rain!

warstory-image.php

I decided to not show my opponent's name because I didn't asked him if I could use this battle for my warstory.
I'm also aware that I sucked in the whole matched and hadn't his Dragonite stayed asleep I would've lost so don't be a douche​

She wants it
Warstory Props:
Pics.
Commentary explained what you were trying to accomplish.
Awareness of the situation at all times.
Sweeping with volcarona even when SR was on your side.

Cons: Bad prediction. The first time you volt switched on jolteon was not your fault, but you could have predicted that the second time.
You relied on hax on one turn, which directed the rest of the battle.(your commentary on turn 23 supports this.)

Overall: 7.5 out of 10. Pretty good warstory, especially if this was your first one. The battle could have been a bit better though.

THANK YOU
god took a while for someone to notice this
yes i relied on hax on that turn but in that moment that was my best option since hadnt i gone for the quiver dance his pokes would outspeed and kill.besides i assumed he had extremespeed for some reason when he didnt so it wasnt as haxy as i made it sound

From Zero To Hero
Was a bit difficult to read in terms of grammar & punctuation, but I'm wondering where you got those small HP bars?

DNite would've died if you just went for the HP Ice instead of Sleep Powder.

Venasaur probably did that to try and set up. A dragonite on a rain team likely has Hurricane.

I don't really blame you for those stupid mistakes, I've had those days myself....I think this a story I can really relate to.

horrible read you're terrible

one thing to say:
6-1 ;p
edit:vandslaux yes hp ice would've killed dnite but i just decided to play safe and that saved me because if i had use hp ice poli would then come in and kill all my weakened poke.So what actually saved me wasnt luck...it was my stupidity=)

There it is.

You obviously don't know D. Gray that well...

Anyway, the warstory was okay. I feel the same way about it that irock did. The pics and explanations were nice, but I think you could've posted a better battle then this one.

That is clearly what happened. I'm assuming they are a great battler and wasn't thinking strait. That happens to me every now and then, yesterday I swapped a Gliscor in on a Jellicent....

yup, says the man that used to post this advice for every team:

Ninja Shedinja
shedinja.png

Shedinja @ Air Balloon
Trait: Wonder Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Sandstorm
- Final Gambit
- Hyper Beam


With the right spread Shedinja becomes almost impossible to kill. With the given EVs it can survive up to100+ bullet punches from 6+adamant banded technician Scizor, Outrage from 6+adamant banded rivalry Haxorus etc etc.
the moves are pretty simple:
sub to check if ttar has fire blast, Stone Edge, Crunch or any kind of move at all. Sandstorm to stop sun which boost fire attacks and that might get Shedinja killed in 500 turns, final gambit to ohko bliss in the switch in if its very weakened (though scarf Magikarp might also work) and hyper beam because of stab Air Baloon because of earth power Heatran and hidden power ground Magikarp

I saved it Gray 8D

OT: Good battle for a bad day :3
