Intro:
I recently made a new team, designed around an SDLuke sweep. I was testing it on Shoddy, changing here and there where I saw fit. The battle before this, I removed Rotom-H for Zapdos... you'll see why this is important later.
My Team:
Legend:
signifies Leftovers.
signifies Choice Band.
signifies Life Orb.
signifies Expert Belt.
Tortured_Soul will be in Green.
LunarEclipse will be in Purple.
Recovery will be in Pink.
Damage will be in Red.

Ok, not good. There goes my main TTar and Luke check for later in the game. Frankly, I didn't expect a lead Infernape to be running HP Ice, as most I've seen have been Stealth Rock leads. I switch to Zapdos, seeing as HP Ice does pitiful damage, and I can set my screen early.

Ok, well that didn't work out well at all. My main sweeper is now a liablity, thanks to Thunder Wave. I decide to stay in and at least try to KO Blissey, who would be a problem to the rest of the team. Unfortunately, hax kicks in and I'm left stranded in front of a Cut Forme Rotom. (Not that it would have mattered, since I was using Close Combat) Since I obviously can't stay in, I switch to Snorlax, hopefully able to KO with Crunch.

Ok, so now I know it's the set-up sweeper. Since I can't allow him to sub again, I keep the onslaught of Crunch, and I'll hit whatever steps in with decent damage. Looking at it, he should have WoW'd me at that point, but how was he to know Snorlax was Banded? Maybe when it didn't recover from Leftovers...

Ouch. I switched in Lucario expecting the T-Wave and instead got a Flamethrower in the face. Now I know it has Flamethrower, I'm fairly sure it won't have Ice Beam as well. This is good news for Salamence, but means Lucario becomes even more useless... I switch Tyranitar into Blissey and take the next Flamethrower, as long as it doesn't burn hopefully it scares Blissey out. Because seriously, Tyranitar would only ever be holding Choice Band, Life Orb or Leftovers right?

Ok, that wasn't cool. Double Parahax in a row cost me an opportunity to KO Salamence. Expert Belt Ice Beam was a OHKO, and I had two shots at it. At this moment, with Salamence having a DD under it's belt I needed to kill it off, and the only way how was with Lucario. I switch in Lucario and go for the obvious option, praying there's no more parahax.

Well I figured that would be coming, but at the moment it's better to place safe than try to predict anything, as it's failed me thus far. I can't stay in, so I switch back to Zapdos for the familiar tussle between the two standard Scizor counters.

The same old happens here. Rotom subs, I break it, he attacks, I roost while he subs. Basically, I'm winning the war here, he's losing more health than he gains and I can just Roost off damage. Plus, I got my screens back up again. (At the moment though, it seems they're only useful to reduce damage against Zapdos itself)...

Ok, a mixed bag here. I finally removed that damned pink blob which was annoying Zapdos to no end. Snorlax unfortunately also goes down, but I know I have the soldiers left to get the job done. Amazing considering how the match started out. Becuase he U-turned to kill, I see his Infernape come in and have a few options. I decide to go with Zapdos, since I'm fairly sure he's not running Stone Edge and I can Roost off any damage, while KO'ing easily. Also, I assume it's running a Choice Scarf, but not positive. (Cannot be Life Orb or Leftovers)...

Ok, in comes the haunted lawnmower for yet another round with Zapdos. I get my screens up once again, having damaged Infernape and restored health myself, I'm in a pretty decent position. Since Rotom isn't behind a Sub, I'm thinking he's just using it as fodder to get something else in on Zapdos. I don't care, this thing has to go...

It seems he decided Mence wasn't going to be of much use anymore, and used it to damage Zapdos enough that hopefully Scizor could do something.

I send in my own Mence to take the Bullet Punch and cut Scizor's attack...

Ouch. I switched in Lucario expecting the T-Wave and instead got a Flamethrower in the face. Now I know it has Flamethrower, I'm fairly sure it won't have Ice Beam as well. This is good news for Salamence, but means Lucario becomes even more useless... I switch Tyranitar into Blissey and take the next Flamethrower, as long as it doesn't burn hopefully it scares Blissey out. Because seriously, Tyranitar would only ever be holding Choice Band, Life Orb or Leftovers right?

Ok, that wasn't cool. Double Parahax in a row cost me an opportunity to KO Salamence. Expert Belt Ice Beam was a OHKO, and I had two shots at it. At this moment, with Salamence having a DD under it's belt I needed to kill it off, and the only way how was with Lucario. I switch in Lucario and go for the obvious option, praying there's no more parahax.

Well I figured that would be coming, but at the moment it's better to place safe than try to predict anything, as it's failed me thus far. I can't stay in, so I switch back to Zapdos for the familiar tussle between the two standard Scizor counters.

The same old happens here. Rotom subs, I break it, he attacks, I roost while he subs. Basically, I'm winning the war here, he's losing more health than he gains and I can just Roost off damage. Plus, I got my screens back up again. (At the moment though, it seems they're only useful to reduce damage against Zapdos itself)...

Ok, a mixed bag here. I finally removed that damned pink blob which was annoying Zapdos to no end. Snorlax unfortunately also goes down, but I know I have the soldiers left to get the job done. Amazing considering how the match started out. Becuase he U-turned to kill, I see his Infernape come in and have a few options. I decide to go with Zapdos, since I'm fairly sure he's not running Stone Edge and I can Roost off any damage, while KO'ing easily. Also, I assume it's running a Choice Scarf, but not positive. (Cannot be Life Orb or Leftovers)...

Ok, in comes the haunted lawnmower for yet another round with Zapdos. I get my screens up once again, having damaged Infernape and restored health myself, I'm in a pretty decent position. Since Rotom isn't behind a Sub, I'm thinking he's just using it as fodder to get something else in on Zapdos. I don't care, this thing has to go...

Yes, it seems you do ^_^. Finally that thing's been taken care of. Zapdos is single-handedly pulling me back into the match. I've once again restored health, removed a threat and put up screens.

It seems he decided Mence wasn't going to be of much use anymore, and used it to damage Zapdos enough that hopefully Scizor could do something. Dragon Claw takes a large dent, but I manage to KO Salamence, evening the ledger at 3-3. He brings in Scizor, who I decided I wasn't going to risk Zapdos on with it's health as low as that. I send in my own Mence to take the Bullet Punch and cut Scizor's attack...

Ok, that wasn't too bad. I saw his last pokemon and sacrificed Salamence to make sure it wasn't a problem. It's even still at 2-2. With only Scizor and Infernape left, I decide Zapdos can effectively take both, as long as Scizor's Bullet Punch doesn't KO. So in goes the already decided MVP of the match...

Wow, I should have expected Overheat. It left Zapdos with a measly 3% to fall back on. This also confirmed in my mind that it was indeed Scarfed, not that it mattered in the end. I did have Lucario and it's Extremespeed in the wings, so even if it did KO Zappy I 'should' have won.
