First it was flinch hax, now it is crit hax =P

CrimsonN0 wins the Seismic Badge 2-1! It was a good battle, especially the last one where is was down to just Nidoking vs Pinsir, and whoever moved first won. I have a new respect for bugs.

Here's the last match: MF3W-WWWW-WWW6-AYAE

Yeah, even with a crit I was kinda suprised Leavanny could 2HKO a Garchomp.

As for the last match, I had Sticky Web back up after you Spinned it away the first time so I was definitely going first.
It was the first game where it came down to a speed tie between the two of them and I got Flamethrowererd.

Gym challenges have been pretty fun so far.
A bit more tension in matches rather than just the normal ones.
Plus its got me to use Leavanny, Illumise, and Armaldo - who I've never previously used.
 

Dongs Macabre

aka Daedalos42
Daedalos42 wins the Seismic Badge 2-1! I can't handle Scizor at all.

I was skeptical about its first battle being against a gym leader, but it worked out really well. I really shouldn't have switched it out for Dragonite in the second game. I don't know why I didn't switch out my Mamoswine in the last game. I had a perfectly good Flying type that I could have switched into.

9th badge! I'm halfway through the League!

EDIT: For rematches, are they after 96 hours, or on the 4th day after the loss?

After the 4th day, so the 5th day onwards.
 
UltimateIke wins a Pride Badge, taking me down 2-0. Also Talonflame is a jerk!

Thanks! And it is, but that jerk was the only chance I had of winning, haha.

Those games were really close, especially the first one! I got really scared until I remembered I had my own Focus Sash.
 
Welp. It's spring break and my knee is screwed up. Guess it's time to become a pokemon master. So many not-fully-trained breeding creations need to come up to fighting shape before this though...

I think I might be ready to take a shot at a gym or two over the next day or so. Hopefully some Smogon Singles people are around today!
 

Natiko

Was your Pinsir Jolly? That's the only reason it outsped my Excadrill. That was the worst turn for Sandstorm to stop.

Well, Natiko wins 2-1. And I regret switching for Choice Band.

Yes, yes he is. I thought for sure I'd fail to sweep without getting a swords dance in. I had figured I was done for once Rotom decided to miss the Hydro Pump earlier on.

MPinsir has 155 base Atk. STAB Return is gonna kill pretty much anything unresisted. He also outspeeds pretty much everything, so I was dead once Sandstorm was down.

I was just concerned I'd get outsped by a priority move at some point. I knew without swords dance I wouldn't be able to take down much with quick attack.

Edit: Thanks for the reward!

Just curious, do you happen to be go to gamefaq for Pokemon trading too? I just fought someone on my friend list who's Natiko and I'm pretty sure I didn't know anyone by that username in GAF. Well, nice to meet you if so.

Nope, though I had added a lot of people from GAF before I stopped playing until recently when I picked it back up. Are you the person who just blew me up with Espeon? If so that was definitely me haha
 
PBalfredo beat me in the rematch. And completely upset my strategy too. Very well played and most definitely deserves the Permafrost badge!

I learned the value of Fake Out in helping set-up sweepers do their thing in my first match with Church the hard way. Had the think hard about my strategy for our rematch. I have a new appreciation for Fake Out and Inner Focus now.

LD2W-WWWW-WWW6-BS7F

PVSG-WWWW-WWW6-BS7M

Thanks for the ice babies. Better reward than a gimmicky TM.

(Is there a limit on how many replays you can upload at a time? If so it looks like next time I want to post replays I'll have to cannibalize some of my earlier league videos)
 
Yeah, that was really lucky. I think my Pokemon would have survived it, though, if I'm remembering what Pokemon were out correctly.

Krookodile was boosted because of Moxie, it would have killed Togekiss. Man RNG is a bitch, didnt miss any Fire Blast. Then I have a Rock Slide double miss.

CrimsonN0 earns the Normal Badge, defeating me 2-0! Congrats!

GG.
I was actually thinking I was going to lose both matches.
For some reason I completely forgot most birds were part Normal Type.
If that thing was Scarfed I there'd been nothing I could do.

I really shouldn't have lost that second battle, but I made some really bad decisions at the end.

GGs though, both battles were pretty close.

Won the rematch against CrimsonN0, 2-0. Man, I seem to have a lot of luck with paralysis against you.

Yeah, Paralysis really does me in.
Plus, somehow Rock Slide missed Zapdos.
