Heya, everyone. I wanted to try posting a Warstory. It might be entertaining for some of you, while others could learn some information about competitive play. This battle took place on Pokemon Online earlier today. My name is Natural Puppy in this battle. Due to wanting to protect my opponent's name, I have decided to rename him to "Pinkie Pie."

Disclaimer: I don't normally use weather teams because I think they're dull but I wanted to try one this game.

Rule: Rated
Rule: Sleep Clause
Rule: Species Clause

Pinkie Pie sent out bug! (Genesect)
Natural Puppy sent out Mienshao!
The foe's bug's Download activates!
The foe's bug's Attack rose!

Lovely, a Genesect. This guy is everywhere. Luckily, I gave Meinshao the proper EVs to activate Download's Attack Bonus instead of Special Attack. Also, most people use Fake Out Mienshao, while I use Choice Scarf, so I have the element of surprise.

Start of turn 1
Mienshao used Hi Jump Kick!
The foe's bug lost 84% of its health!

The foe's bug used U-turn!
It's not very effective...
Mienshao lost 162 HP! (59% of its health)
Pinkie Pie called bug back!
Pinkie Pie sent out Rotom-W!

Hey look, an annoying and ugly Pokemon. He used U-Turn from Genesect, so I'm predicting a Volt Switch so he can have the turn advantage. TO ZAPDOS, I SAY!

Start of turn 2
Natural Puppy called Mienshao back!
Natural Puppy sent out Zapdos!

The foe's Rotom-W used Hydro Pump!
Zapdos lost 118 HP! (30% of its health)

Zapdos restored a little HP using its Leftovers!

That little ninny used Hydro Pump so I don't get my Special Attack bonus from Lightningrod. Oh well, I can still kill it.

Start of turn 3
Pinkie Pie called Rotom-W back!
Pinkie Pie sent out Tyranitar!

the foe's Tyranitar's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!
Zapdos used Thunder Wave!
The foe's Tyranitar is paralyzed! It may be unable to move!

The sandstorm rages!

Zapdos restored a little HP using its Leftovers!

Tyranitar? Yay, sand vs. rain. This isn't how 80% of games in 5th gen OU go at all! /sarcasm
But regardless, Zapdos can't take on a Tyranitar, so I must switch to a broken Pokemon.

Start of turn 4
Natural Puppy called Zapdos back!
Natural Puppy sent out Scizor!

The foe's Tyranitar used Stealth Rock!
Pointed stones float in the air around Natural Puppy's team!

The sandstorm rages!

He gets Stealth Rocks up. It's quite disappointing, as my primary wall, Zapdos, is weak to it.

Start of turn 5
Pinkie Pie called Tyranitar back!
Pinkie Pie sent out Rotom-W!

Scizor used U-turn!
The foe's Rotom-W lost 49% of its health!

The sandstorm rages!
Mienshao is buffeted by the sandstorm!
The foe's Rotom-W is buffeted by the sandstorm!
The foe's Rotom-W restored a little HP using its Leftovers!

Not much to say here. I switched in Mienshao because it gives it can easily outspeed and kill Rotom.

Zapdos used Roost!
Zapdos landed on the ground!
Zapdos regained health!

The sandstorm rages!

Roost was the safest option here because I knew he'd switch and Zapdos hates Stealth Rock.

A critical hit!

Politoed protected itself!

Rain continues to fall!

Politoed protected itself!

Rain continues to fall!
The foe's Rotom-W restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
Politoed restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
The foe's Rotom-W is hurt by poison!

Well, he could either Volt Switch or Hydro Pump here, and since I have rain up, Zapdos isn't a safe switch.

Pinkie Pie called Rotom-W back!
Pinkie Pie sent out Xatu!

Ferrothorn used Leech Seed!
The attack of Ferrothorn missed!

Rain continues to fall!
The foe's Xatu restored a little HP using its Leftovers!

So... He's predicting me to use Thunder so I'm predicting that he's predicting that so I'm going to switch myself as well (Yes, Pokemon is overly complicated).

The foe's bug's Download activates!
The foe's bug's Attack rose!

The sandstorm rages!
Keldeo-R is buffeted by the sandstorm!

Almost all Genesects have Choice Scarf, so it's safe to assume that he will outspeed and kill Keldeo. Better switch to something that can take a Thunderbolt!


Start of turn 27
Natural Puppy called Keldeo-R back!
Natural Puppy sent out Ferrothorn!
Pointed stones dug into Ferrothorn!

The foe's bug used Thunderbolt!
It's not very effective...
Ferrothorn lost 35 HP! (9% of its health)

The sandstorm rages!
Ferrothorn restored a little HP using its Leftovers!

Admittedly, Zapdos would have been a better switch in. But he was more likely to randomly use Ice Beam than randomly use Thunderbolt. In this case, it's better to be safe than sorry. Once again, I know that he's going to switch to probably Xatu, so I should switch myself.


Start of turn 28

The sandstorm rages!
Natural Puppy sent out Scizor!

Natural Puppy sent out Zapdos!
Pointed stones dug into Zapdos!

The foe's bug's Download activates!
The foe's bug's Attack rose!

That had have been the stupidest move of the game. I assumed that he would use U-Turn, and since his Scizor was low, I thought it was a bright idea to set up Spikes. I lost a Pokemon because I assumed. Let this be a lesson to you, kiddies.


Start of turn 32

Politoed's Drizzle made it rain!

Zapdos was at incredibly low health from taking repeated Stealth Rock beatings, so I figured it was time to let it go and get the weather back under my control.

Pinkie Pie sent out Tyranitar!

the foe's Tyranitar's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!

The foe's Tyranitar restored a little HP using its Leftovers!

Nothing important happens during this turn. The match is currently 2 to 4 his favor in terms of number of Pokemon left, so I'm feeling a bit depressed.


Start of turn 34
Politoed used Scald!
It's super effective!
The foe's Tyranitar lost 17% of its health!
The foe's Tyranitar fainted!

The sandstorm rages!
Politoed is buffeted by the sandstorm!
Politoed restored a little HP using its Leftovers!

Whew, Politoed barely held on and got a free kill! Honestly, I'm not sure why he decided to put this in instead of deciding to stall with Xatu.

Start of turn 36
The foe's bug used Flamethrower!
It's not very effective...
Politoed lost 51 HP! (13% of its health)
Politoed fainted!

The sandstorm rages!
Natural Puppy sent out Scizor!
Pointed stones dug into Scizor!

So... It's down to my Scizor versus his last two Pokemon

Wahoo! I was honestly not expecting to win that! Ultimately I thought it would be a fun to post the first warstory on this site, and this was a pretty close and fun match. Tell me what you think.

But yuck, that's really lame that this had to be three posts. xP

X!!

The way you described your battle, the way you battled, and the way you made a close comeback was really impressive. Also, I think this tutorial would really be helpful to competitive battlers. Great job!
