Hello, this is the first Warstory I've done. I've wanted to do one for a while, but I think i finally found one good enough. There will be some hax later in the match, but to be honest, I don't really think any of it made a difference. I hope you like it!

So I see his team and, since about 80% of the time, my opponent refuses to change his lead, I mull over my options for Tran counters. My first thought is just to let Sableye at him, but after taunting to prevent the inevitable Stealth Rock, there really isn't anything it can do. I could use Espeon to keep it on the offensive, but I prefer to switch Espeon in on an unsuspecting foe to get a status condition or SR up for my own team. Flygon can handle Heatran, but those in the lead spot always carry a Balloon, so I'd be forced to U-turn anyways, and unlike Vexatious over there I don't like being thrown into blind move predictions. So, I decide to send in Roobushin. If I do that, I can either OHKO it with my banded Drain Punch or switch to Espeon if I predict a Stealth Rock.
Pwnemon sent out ConkleDURP! (Roobushin)
Zeus2398 sent out Heatran!
(100%) vs.
(100%)
It appears my prediction was correct. My opponent sends in his lead as I show my disdain for Roob's English name. Now I'm more glad that I chose what I did- The fact that there was no Balloon message combined with the fact that he has Gigalith on his team, an ample Stealth Rocks user, lead me to believe this is a scarf almost Anti-Lead set Heatran. If I'm correct, by far my best option for a move is to take the inevitable Fire Blast, return with a Drain Punch KO, and get most of my health back.

6-5
Frack. I knew Shuca Heatran were still around, but they were so few and far between I failed to even consider it as an option. While on the bright side I did manage to shift the battle in my favor without taking a scratch, he got Stealth Rocks up while I now won't have them up for the rest of the battle. To make matters worse, he just sent in Reuniclus, and the three-attacking kind with Calm Mind is a real pain in the arse. My best option is to send in Sableye and Taunt it to stop Calm Minding, then slowly whittle it to death with Shadow Sneak. Not the best case scenario ever, but it's as good as I can manage.
Start of turn 2
Pwnemon called ConkleDURP back!
Pwnemon sent out Sableye!

He does as I expected, going for the Calm Mind as I send in Sableye. The Stealth Rocks damage as it comes in is a painful reminder of my misplay early in the battle. This turn is simple. I go for the Taunt to stop it Calm Minding more, and if I get disturbingly lucky, then I can hopefully cripple any switch-in.
Start of turn 3
Zeus2398 called Rankurusu back!
Zeus2398 sent out Gigaiasu!
Sableye used Taunt!
The foe's Gigaiasu fell for the taunt!
Sableye restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
(100%) vs.
(100%)
So it appears I got disturbingly lucky and that Rankurusu was a TR variant. This takes so much weight off my shoulders, because now Sableye can wall it without a second thought. Sadly, this is an attacking variant of Gigalith, most likely choiced, so the Taunt was a waste of a turn. My Sableye now grins maliciously as it gets to fulfill its main purpose in a battle- spreading burn like Santa Claus.
Start of turn 4
Sableye used Will-O-Wisp!

I don't feel like running calcs but even a Gigalith with burn shouldn't be doing that kind of damage to my precious so I'll assume it's banded. I'm not exactly sure what I thought I was going to be doing this next turn, but I go for the Recover to stall burn, even though this thing is doing more than 50% health. I assume that eventually he'll get a low roll with his Rock Blast, but it doesn't come.

The foe's Gigaiasu's taunt ended!
(30%) vs
(75%)
Sorry if the calcs get messy here for Sableye's damage, he'll be taking hits a lot so it'll be a bit hard to keep track. Either way, I'm not willing to eat another Rock Blast no matter what the circumstances, and, being fairly sure this guy has a Band, I'll switch to something which can take these hits like a pro.
Start of turn 6
Pwnemon called Sableye back!
Pwnemon sent out ConkleDURP! (Roobushin)

Just as I expected. His Gigalith goes for a third Rock Blast to finish my Sableye and my Roobushin takes them like they were nothing. Even with 4 Speed, Roob should be outspeeding this Gigalith, so Drain Punch would be a logical option to get back my HP... but I don't think that my opponent is very stupid, so he may switch to Rank to take it. Even if he doesn't feel comfortable sending out Rank on my Drain Punch, he has that Golurk in the wings. Both of them are probably one-shot by Payback, and even if he keeps in his Gigalith as fodder, it won't be doing much damage with a burn. Weighing my options, I go for Payback.
Start of turn 7
ConkleDURP used Payback!

Played the fool yet again. While I now see that my prediction of a Choice Band was correct, he outpredicted me and saw the payback coming. Either that or foddered his Gigalith since it has burn anyways. Whatever it was, it'll take another turn and more damage to my Roobushin to take down this Gigalith, and while I do have a Flygon in the wings to take this Rock Blast, I'd simply prefer that Roobushin do the honors because it's bulkier and I'll save on Stealth Rocks damage. With this turn, the game will become 6-4 in my favor.
Start of turn 8

The Reuniclus again. I know he's trying to use it to bait out my Sableye so he can kill it, but I don't want to over predict again. My Roobushin is a vital member of my team, and I don't want to continue on without it. Knowing that Sableye can perfectly wall his Reuniclus anyway, I take the bait.
Start of turn 9
Pwnemon called ConkleDURP back!
Pwnemon sent out Sableye!
Pointed stones dug into Sableye!
The foe's Rankurusu used Psychic!
It had no effect!
Sableye restored a little HP using its Leftovers!

There's only one real thing to do here. He's going to switch out, but I need my Sableye to live. Having no real options and not being a fan of wild prediction, I just go for the Recover to gain me some HP.
Start of turn 10
Zeus2398 called Rankurusu back!
Zeus2398 sent out Rotom-F!
Sableye used Recover!
Sableye regained health!
Sableye restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
(82%) vs

Rotom. These can be a real pain, in fact, it's one of the main reasons I started running an electric resist. However, before I jump the gun and go to Flygon, it could be a defensive Rotom with Will-O-Wisp, and, more importantly, the ability to change moves. Flygon is not a fan of blizzards. To scope it out, I decide to Taunt it and see what it does.
Start of turn 11
Sableye used Taunt!
The foe's Rotom-F fell for the taunt!
The foe's Rotom-F used Thunderbolt!
Sableye lost 129 HP! (42% of its health)
Sableye restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
(46%) vs
(100%)
Okay, it's definitely a scarf variant. It didn't do enough damage to possibly be specs, and it didn't go for a status move, so it isn't defensive. If I had one third of a brain, I would go to Flygon right now and Stone Edge it to death. Sadly, though, I make the one major misplay of the entire battle and decide to use Will-O-Wisp. I need to cut my addiction to burning things before I wind up in jail.
Start of turn 12
Sableye used Will-O-Wisp!
The attack of Sableye missed!
The foe's Rotom-F used Thunderbolt!

(93%) vs.
(100%)
5-4
Here's the Flygon I told myself I would use last turn. I have two options here. Option One is that I use Stone Edge. This is only a good option if he has a non scarf Rotom and goes for the blizzard. In that case, Stone Edge would probably KO that thing, bringing the score to 5-3. However, if I don't KO, then I lose Flygon, my only Electric or Ground resist on the team. That would be a very bad circumstance indeed, and the Stone Edge Accuracy theorem states that the more you need Stone Edge to hit, the less likely it is to hit. Furthermore, if this is a Scarf variant, then U-turn would be the better option no matter what because he'll switch and I can scout. There's not much debate here. I go for the U-turn.
Start of turn 13
Zeus2398 called Rotom-F back!
Zeus2398 sent out Heracross!
Flygon used U-turn!
It's not very effective...
The foe's Heracross lost 14% of its health!
Pwnemon called Flygon back!
Pwnemon sent out Espeon!
Pointed stones dug into Espeon!
Espeon restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
(93%) vs
(86%)
I'd say I predicted a Scarf variant from this Heracross as well, but that would imply that there's more than one kind of set for Heracross. I went to Espeon to lure him into a Scarf'd Megahorn, and so far, this guy seems to play the simple route and bank on his opponent's overprediction, so I'm going to counter the simple way and go to my 4x Bug resist.
Start of turn 14
Pwnemon called Espeon back!
Pwnemon sent out Genesect! (Genosekuto)
Pointed stones dug into Genesect!
Genesect's Download activates!
Genesect's Attack rose!

Genesect lost 111 HP! (39% of its health)
(48%) vs
(86%)
I've been accused of having a Genesect fetish in the past, but there's not much this guy can't do. I run a bit of a quirky set, with Nitro Charge to boost my speed and three attacks. I assume this guy will predict a scarf Geno and make a switch to something that resists Flamethrower. On his team are Rotom, Golurk, Rankurusu, and of course Heracross. He won't be going to Rotom, so I can assume either Reuniclus or Golurk. They're both countered very differently, so my best option as of now is just to go for the Speed boost and see where it takes me. With any luck, I can just sweep the rest of his team with Genesect.
Start of turn 15
The foe's Heracross used Megahorn!
The attack of the foe's Heracross missed!
Genesect used Nitro Charge!
It's super effective!
The foe's Heracross lost 56% of its health!
Genesect's Speed rose!
(48%) vs.
(30%)
Well that was interesting. I don't know why he'd want to fodder his Heracross, (Or maybe he was trying to catch me off guard by switching up his play style) but now I've got the speed advantage on all of his Pokemon as well as an almost dead Heracross. Sure I got a little hax there, but it doesn't end up mattering in the long run.
Here's the other major misplay of this match. Had I stopped to really think out this turn here, I would have gone for the Ice Beam, as it puts every one of his pokemon in OHKO range save his Rotom, which he wouldn't switch in given how safe he plays. Instead, in a rush of instinct, I just go for the Nitro Charge to kill the Heracross. I have this weird obsession with not letting my opponents know my sets for as long as possible. Like you couldn't guess that Geno would carry BoltBeam.
Start of turn 16
Zeus2398 called Heracross back!
Zeus2398 sent out Goruggo!
Genesect used Nitro Charge!
The foe's Goruggo lost 22% of its health!
Genesect's Speed rose!
(48%) vs
(78%)
So there's that Golurk I was looking for last turn. Looks like my opponent decided that Heracross deserved to live after all. I'm not too worried, though, Ice beam from 252 SpA EV's should kill a Golurk with 80% health, right? Right?
Start of turn 17
Genesect used Ice Beam!
It's super effective!
The foe's Goruggo lost 67% of its health!
The foe's Goruggo used Earthquake!
Genesect lost 137 HP! (48% of its health)

(87%) vs
(8%)
4-4
Well ain't that a bitch. Apparently that Golurk had just enough health to survive and take out my rather frail Genesect with an Earthquake, tying up the score. Well. Kicking myself, I send in my Flygon yet again, as it can OHKO with a U-turn if he doesn't choose to switch, or if he does I can switch to the appropriate counter. My god, every move my Flygon has used is U-turn, I'm turning into Vexatious.
Start of turn 18
Zeus2398 called Goruggo back!

(42%) vs.
(71%)
Normally, I rage fairly hard at the Rotom forms no longer being Ghost Type, especially Rotom-W, as it becomes indubitably hard to take down. However, I'll let it slide in this one instance as Roob is a great Banded Mach Punch revenge killer, even without the Guts Boost. In fact, I think I'll do that right now- something tells me he's going to go for the kill instead of switching to Golurk.
Start of turn 19
ConkleDURP used Mach Punch!
It's super effective!
The foe's Rotom-F lost 71% of its health!
The foe's Rotom-F fainted!

4-3
Bam. That worked perfectly as planned, but I'm afraid that even though Genesect did 55% with its Nitro Charge, Roob may not be able to KO this Heracross. I'm almost certain my opponent will be going for the Close Combat over Megahorn. If I'm able to get some Defense drops with CC, Mach Punch should be able to take this thing out. So I'll switch to something that isn't going to be helping me at all in this battle.
Start of turn 20
Pwnemon called ConkleDURP back!

So I was right, he went for the Close Combat. Vaporeon took a hurting from it, but I don't really care- he won't be doing anything at all against a Rank, Golurk, or Rotom. Still I go for the protect to get lefties recovery, more out of habit than necessity.

And the battle once again ties up, 3 to 3. I send in Roob for the sure Mach Punch revenge kill against his -2 Heracross. The end of this battle is definitely in sight with his near death Heracross and Golurk- If I can weaken his Rankurusu, Flygon should be able to sweep him with Outrage. First, though, I may as well knock out this obstacle.

Woot. And with the most useless hax in the world, I regain my slight lead in this battle. I'm very tempted to send in my Flygon against this Golurk to take the probable Earthquake, but it has less than stellar defenses, and a poor prediction by me could lead to it being taken out by a Heavy Bomber or DynamicPunch. My safest route would be sending in Espeon to die and getting a free switch to my Flygon.

Quite the game of Tug-of-War. However, I have the rest of the battle in my hand if I get lucky. If I U-turn this turn, he can either switch to Rank or stay in. If he stays in, he dies. I then send in Roob, Payback Rank, let it die, and win with Outrage. If he switches to Rank, then I send in Roob anyways. I payback Rank like I plan, and it almost dies. Psychic destroys my Roob, I send in Flygon and sweep him. The only possible wrench in my plan would be if that Rankurusu did Trick Room on my Roobushin. Then, it could Psychic it for the kill, and I would send in Flygon. He would kill me then with Psychic.
This is a real mind game. If I outrage, and he doesn't switch, he'll win. If I outrage and he switches, I win. If I U-turn and he switches, he wins. If I U-turn and he doesn't switch, I win. Holding my breath, I press a button.

Props:
-Roob for killing two thirds of his team and being a great revenge killer.
-Heatran for bluffing well and getting up Rocks, a great thorn in my side, even if you died on the first turn.
-Flygon for killing the rest of his team (No seriously his entire team was killed by two pokemon)
-Zeus for the outstanding battle
Slops:
-Vaporeon for doing nothing but die.
-Espeon for same story
-Reuniclus at the end, did it have Trick Room anyways? If not, what was in the fourth slot?
MVP:
I don't care that you're ugly, stupid, and have the worst name in the world, Conkeldurr. You're quite a powerhouse.

Sorry if the calcs get messy here for Sableye's damage, he'll be taking hits a lot so it'll be a bit hard to keep track. Either way, I'm not willing to eat another Rock Blast no matter what the circumstances, and, being fairly sure this guy has a Band, I'll switch to something which can take these hits like a pro.

Just as I expected. His Gigalith goes for a third Rock Blast to finish my Sableye and my Roobushin takes them like they were nothing. Even with 4 Speed, Roob should be outspeeding this Gigalith, so Drain Punch would be a logical option to get back my HP... but I don't think that my opponent is very stupid, so he may switch to Rank to take it. Even if he doesn't feel comfortable sending out Rank on my Drain Punch, he has that Golurk in the wings. Both of them are probably one-shot by Payback, and even if he keeps in his Gigalith as fodder, it won't be doing much damage with a burn. Weighing my options, I go for Payback.

Played the fool yet again. While I now see that my prediction of a Choice Band was correct, he outpredicted me and saw the payback coming. Either that or foddered his Gigalith since it has burn anyways. Whatever it was, it'll take another turn and more damage to my Roobushin to take down this Gigalith, and while I do have a Flygon in the wings to take this Rock Blast, I'd simply prefer that Roobushin do the honors because it's bulkier and I'll save on Stealth Rocks damage. With this turn, the game will become 6-4 in my favor.

The Reuniclus again. I know he's trying to use it to bait out my Sableye so he can kill it, but I don't want to over predict again. My Roobushin is a vital member of my team, and I don't want to continue on without it. Knowing that Sableye can perfectly wall his Reuniclus anyway, I take the bait.

There's only one real thing to do here. He's going to switch out, but I need my Sableye to live. Having no real options and not being a fan of wild prediction, I just go for the Recover to gain me some HP.

Rotom. These can be a real pain, in fact, it's one of the main reasons I started running an electric resist. However, before I jump the gun and go to Flygon, it could be a defensive Rotom with Will-O-Wisp, and, more importantly, the ability to change moves. Flygon is not a fan of blizzards. To scope it out, I decide to Taunt it and see what it does.

Sableye restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
Okay, it's definitely a scarf variant. It didn't do enough damage to possibly be specs, and it didn't go for a status move, so it isn't defensive. If I had one third of a brain, I would go to Flygon right now and Stone Edge it to death. Sadly, though, I make the one major misplay of the entire battle and decide to use Will-O-Wisp. I need to cut my addiction to burning things before I wind up in jail.

5-4
Here's the Flygon I told myself I would use last turn. I have two options here. Option One is that I use Stone Edge. This is only a good option if he has a non scarf Rotom and goes for the blizzard. In that case, Stone Edge would probably KO that thing, bringing the score to 5-3. However, if I don't KO, then I lose Flygon, my only Electric or Ground resist on the team. That would be a very bad circumstance indeed, and the Stone Edge Accuracy theorem states that the more you need Stone Edge to hit, the less likely it is to hit. Furthermore, if this is a Scarf variant, then U-turn would be the better option no matter what because he'll switch and I can scout. There's not much debate here. I go for the U-turn.

I'd say I predicted a Scarf variant from this Heracross as well, but that would imply that there's more than one kind of set for Heracross. I went to Espeon to lure him into a Scarf'd Megahorn, and so far, this guy seems to play the simple route and bank on his opponent's overprediction, so I'm going to counter the simple way and go to my 4x Bug resist.

Genesect lost 111 HP! (39% of its health)
I've been accused of having a Genesect fetish in the past, but there's not much this guy can't do. I run a bit of a quirky set, with Nitro Charge to boost my speed and three attacks. I assume this guy will predict a scarf Geno and make a switch to something that resists Flamethrower. On his team are Rotom, Golurk, Rankurusu, and of course Heracross. He won't be going to Rotom, so I can assume either Reuniclus or Golurk. They're both countered very differently, so my best option as of now is just to go for the Speed boost and see where it takes me. With any luck, I can just sweep the rest of his team with Genesect.

Well that was interesting. I don't know why he'd want to fodder his Heracross, (Or maybe he was trying to catch me off guard by switching up his play style) but now I've got the speed advantage on all of his Pokemon as well as an almost dead Heracross. Sure I got a little hax there, but it doesn't end up mattering in the long run.
Here's the other major misplay of this match. Had I stopped to really think out this turn here, I would have gone for the Ice Beam, as it puts every one of his pokemon in OHKO range save his Rotom, which he wouldn't switch in given how safe he plays. Instead, in a rush of instinct, I just go for the Nitro Charge to kill the Heracross. I have this weird obsession with not letting my opponents know my sets for as long as possible. Like you couldn't guess that Geno would carry BoltBeam.

So there's that Golurk I was looking for last turn. Looks like my opponent decided that Heracross deserved to live after all. I'm not too worried, though, Ice beam from 252 SpA EV's should kill a Golurk with 80% health, right? Right?

Well ain't that a bitch. Apparently that Golurk had just enough health to survive and take out my rather frail Genesect with an Earthquake, tying up the score. Well. Kicking myself, I send in my Flygon yet again, as it can OHKO with a U-turn if he doesn't choose to switch, or if he does I can switch to the appropriate counter. My god, every move my Flygon has used is U-turn, I'm turning into Vexatious.

Normally, I rage fairly hard at the Rotom forms no longer being Ghost Type, especially Rotom-W, as it becomes indubitably hard to take down. However, I'll let it slide in this one instance as Roob is a great Banded Mach Punch revenge killer, even without the Guts Boost. In fact, I think I'll do that right now- something tells me he's going to go for the kill instead of switching to Golurk.

Bam. That worked perfectly as planned, but I'm afraid that even though Genesect did 55% with its Nitro Charge, Roob may not be able to KO this Heracross. I'm almost certain my opponent will be going for the Close Combat over Megahorn. If I'm able to get some Defense drops with CC, Mach Punch should be able to take this thing out. So I'll switch to something that isn't going to be helping me at all in this battle.

So I was right, he went for the Close Combat. Vaporeon took a hurting from it, but I don't really care- he won't be doing anything at all against a Rank, Golurk, or Rotom. Still I go for the protect to get lefties recovery, more out of habit than necessity.

And the battle once again ties up, 3 to 3. I send in Roob for the sure Mach Punch revenge kill against his -2 Heracross. The end of this battle is definitely in sight with his near death Heracross and Golurk- If I can weaken his Rankurusu, Flygon should be able to sweep him with Outrage. First, though, I may as well knock out this obstacle.

Woot. And with the most useless hax in the world, I regain my slight lead in this battle. I'm very tempted to send in my Flygon against this Golurk to take the probable Earthquake, but it has less than stellar defenses, and a poor prediction by me could lead to it being taken out by a Heavy Bomber or DynamicPunch. My safest route would be sending in Espeon to die and getting a free switch to my Flygon.

Quite the game of Tug-of-War. However, I have the rest of the battle in my hand if I get lucky. If I U-turn this turn, he can either switch to Rank or stay in. If he stays in, he dies. I then send in Roob, Payback Rank, let it die, and win with Outrage. If he switches to Rank, then I send in Roob anyways. I payback Rank like I plan, and it almost dies. Psychic destroys my Roob, I send in Flygon and sweep him. The only possible wrench in my plan would be if that Rankurusu did Trick Room on my Roobushin. Then, it could Psychic it for the kill, and I would send in Flygon. He would kill me then with Psychic.
This is a real mind game. If I outrage, and he doesn't switch, he'll win. If I outrage and he switches, I win. If I U-turn and he switches, he wins. If I U-turn and he doesn't switch, I win. Holding my breath, I press a button.

What? I'm not sure whether that was a misplay or this is the oddest Reuniclus set ever. Surely it doesn't have Shadow Ball, as it switched out on my Sableye. Too relieved to ask, I click Outrage for game. GG, Zeus.

Props:
-Roob for killing two thirds of his team and being a great revenge killer.
-Heatran for bluffing well and getting up Rocks, a great thorn in my side, even if you died on the first turn.
-Flygon for killing the rest of his team (No seriously his entire team was killed by two pokemon)
-Zeus for the outstanding battle
Slops:
-Vaporeon for doing nothing but die.
-Espeon for same story
-Reuniclus at the end, did it have Trick Room anyways? If not, what was in the fourth slot?
MVP:
I don't care that you're ugly, stupid, and have the worst name in the world, Conkeldurr. You're quite a powerhouse.
