VS
Tyranitar-100%
Heatran -100%
Well, he started off with Tyranitar. Oftentimes matches that start with TTar, I go in all guns firing, Earth Powering, coz honestly, not many of my members can take an Earthquake well, bar Vaporeon, which is just forcing him into a switch. But this time, I decide to play a little more conservative, mostly due to the opponent having about 100 higher rating than me, and send in Scizor first. I've been scraping 1408-1419 for some time now, and I don't intend to fall to 1390+ anytime soon.

VS
Scizor -100%
Shuckle-100%
He brings in a Shuckle, great. Look at that withdrawn turtle, it's cute in a weird sort of way. The situation is in my advantage, since Scizor deals loads with a CBed Bullet Punch, so I take no chances so early in the match. Shuckle is a total bitch to face, and I want to at least get him out of the way.

He brings in his Gliscor, I guess that’s his definition of a Scizor counter. I didn’t realise that Gliscor will be killed off with 2 more Bullet Punches, and I went headfirst with Vaporeon. I guess Scizor won’t be hurt much then, which is good.

Vaporeon sponges EQ perfectly, but I still feel I should’ve stayed in. Bleah, sometimes my hands work faster than my brain. I can stay here and tank hits all day, so I figure he’s going to bring something in to get rid of Vaporeon, or just to take the predicted Ice Beam. I wish to scout for his moves. (second frame Vappy is cutest thing in the world)

I was right, Vaporeon takes the thunderbolt like a charm. Hidden Power actually does more damage, which is surprising. It leads me to believe this is one of the more tankish versions, or is my gut feeling wrong? Anyway, I have something to perfectly take the incoming Thunderbolt…

Right on, Jolteon would be expected to deal a thunderbolt. There are a few who can take the hit perfectly, I think Gliscor won’t come in just like that because of the threat of HP Ice. (I have HP Grass. =D) I Signal Beam the switch to Tyranitar, and would probably scrape the KO if he doesn’t switch anyway.

Yeah, my Jolteon doesn’t have Baton Pass. I was trying an all attacking set at the time, lucky coz I dented TTar, despite the Sandstorm and the Timid Nature, which was way cool. TTar tempts me to switch again to Scizor, I have a nagging feeling he’s going to switch TTar out though.

Woah, the same situation as the start of the match. Scizor can fire off Bullet Punches, but I don’t think he’s going to bring Gliscor in again after seeing the damage caused the other time, but I wonder what he’s going to bring in next. He probably switched in Shuckle because he thought I was going to continue Signal Beaming, heck, I go ahead with Bullet Punch and see what he brings in.

Dusknoir! Interesting that Dusknoir would be in a Sandstorm Team. Dusknoir actually takes a lot from my CB hit, for someone with Base 135 Defenses. I’m guessing he would go for Fire Punch or Will-o-Wisp now since Scizor is a real deterrent to Shuckle, hopefully I can predict correctly…

Infernape takes the stage, and Lucario goes out in a blaze of glory, punching Infernape as hard as he can, before clutching his heart, the Life Orb sapping the last of his life away. Nice match, karma-killer, GG.
Pros:
- Great Prediction, especially Lucario landing the hit on Heatran.
- Amazing usage of Shuckle.
- Rhyperior for clinching the kill on Gliscor
- Vaporeon for sponging hits throughout the whole match, including Focus Punch from TTar.
- Karma-killer, for not giving up throughout the whole match, and for not complaining despite the hax. Plus points too for being such an amazing battler.
Lows:
- I had to edit this personally because I was an idiot and did not notice the existence of War Machine until I added all my comments in Word. And me clicking the back button accidentally the moment I finished this which ruined my awesome formatting and I had to redo it to look normal since it was late and I wanted to sleep.
- Stupid Crits! The match would’ve been longer and it would’ve been better if I didn’t land the two crits.
- Infernape didn’t do jack.
- Shuckle for being gay in SandStorm.
- Boah for giving me a heart attack
- My sucky pokemon HP indicators that are not reliable. (please tell me if you spot any mistake in the pokemon's HP below the pictures as I may have made some errors)

Jolteon - 94%
Tyranitar - 64%
Yeah, my Jolteon doesn’t have Baton Pass. I was trying an all attacking set at the time, lucky coz I dented TTar, despite the Sandstorm and the Timid Nature, which was way cool. TTar tempts me to switch again to Scizor, I have a nagging feeling he’s going to switch TTar out though.
karma-killer switched in Shuckle (lvl 100 Shuckle ?).
IceTime switched in Scizor (lvl 100 Scizor ?).

Scizor -100%
Shuckle-100%
Woah, the same situation as the start of the match. Scizor can fire off Bullet Punches, but I don’t think he’s going to bring Gliscor in again after seeing the damage caused the other time, but I wonder what he’s going to bring in next. He probably switched in Shuckle because he thought I was going to continue Signal Beaming, heck, I go ahead with Bullet Punch and see what he brings in.
karma-killer switched in Dusknoir (lvl 100 Dusknoir ?).

Dusknoir! Interesting that Dusknoir would be in a Sandstorm Team. Dusknoir actually takes a lot from my CB hit, for someone with Base 135 Defenses. I’m guessing he would go for Fire Punch or Will-o-Wisp now since Scizor is a real deterrent to Shuckle, hopefully I can predict correctly…
IceTime switched in Heatran (lvl 100 Heatran ?).

Ooh, he outpredicted me. Pain Split actually restores Dusknoir’s health so I’m getting nowhere, I decide to go ahead with a Flamethrower, hopefully I can hit something on the switch in…
karma-killer switched in Starmie (lvl 100 Starmie).

Fuck, it’s a crit. I would rather play without crits, but I guess they do happen. His Starmie is now dead, but I’m certain that is no deterrent to him. I see his next switch in.

I stay in, since I don’t know what to expect from Shuckle at this point in time. He goes for Knock Off! Obviously predicting Scizor’s switch in. I stay in the Flamethrower, since Shuckle obviously isn’t going anywhere soon.

Sweet, Shuckle has been pressed into sleep. I think he’s going to switch, since Shuckle just like that is deadweight on the team for now. Hopefully I can predict his switch-in, but I make the switch to Scizor anyways.

Sweet, Vaporeon got in, and got a Wish on the switch unharmed. Dusknoir is here again, he should be trying to cripple me, since Sandstorm isn’t denting me due to Lefties. Heatran, take center stage.

Focus Punch. Lucky… Karma could’ve beaten my main physical sponge right there if he had T-Bolt, I was dead lucky he didn’t. He can’t leave TTar in, I think, since he doesn’t have T-Bolt he can’t beat Vaporeon that easily. I surf to scout for what he’s going to do.

Another crit. Terribly sorry karma! The hax has been in my favour all this time, with the exception of the Sand Veil misses, which were minor. Anyway, Dusknoir has to die some point in time, I surf it and make its death swift.

Yes! My prediction scored a lucky Earthquake while Roosting, and a Stone Edge sealed his fate. Rhyperior is weak now, near anything could finish him off, I wonder what.

Lucario. Crap. I go to Vaporeon as a sacrifice, since Shuckle is still asleep, meaning a slight chance that I can setup again later, plus Vaporeon being slower than Lucario means its deadweight now, considering it doesn’t have protect. I’m going to Jolteon for the kill, but he might switch out like last time.

Infernape takes the stage, and Lucario goes out in a blaze of glory, punching Infernape as hard as he can, before clutching his heart, the Life Orb sapping the last of his life away. Nice match, karma-killer, GG.
Pros:
- Great Prediction, especially Lucario landing the hit on Heatran.
- Amazing usage of Shuckle.
- Rhyperior for clinching the kill on Gliscor
- Vaporeon for sponging hits throughout the whole match, including Focus Punch from TTar.
- Karma-killer, for not giving up throughout the whole match, and for not complaining despite the hax. Plus points too for being such an amazing battler.
Lows:
- I had to edit this personally because I was an idiot and did not notice the existence of War Machine until I added all my comments in Word. And me clicking the back button accidentally the moment I finished this which ruined my awesome formatting and I had to redo it to look normal since it was late and I wanted to sleep.
- Stupid Crits! The match would’ve been longer and it would’ve been better if I didn’t land the two crits.
- Infernape didn’t do jack.
- Shuckle for being gay in SandStorm.
- Boah for giving me a heart attack
- My sucky pokemon HP indicators that are not reliable. (please tell me if you spot any mistake in the pokemon's HP below the pictures as I may have made some errors)
And finally, karma-killer's team:
