Wait, so he attempted a Hidden power Ice (not a common move on Gengar) to defeat your specially bulky magnezone thinking you would switch to Gliscor, who isnt at all specially bulky nor is he much of a threat to gengar.? Yup you were out played :O
Overall, I thought you earned it and didn't have it given to you, but the Heatran crit was kind of enormous. I think you still win without it (via Wave Man, perhaps), but it was timely and very very helpful.
Awesome song...until the you-know-what-language-lyrics...and then epic again.
You really didn't trust Wave Man this battle. Where was he for Kingdra the first time? What about for Nick's first Gengar usage? I though both were tremendous opportunities to use him, seeing as Empoleon is the one poke in the GAME that resists Kingdra's STAB.
@TheMaykarLocomotive I trust him to take a hit or two. I do not like the way he 4HKO's Kingdra while it sets up and resists my main priority move, however. Once poison was up (+ more SR to make it a probable 3HKO) I felt a lot better about that matchup.
Vs. Gengar, Aqua Jet is really weak (under 25%) and I was wary of TBolt/Focus Blast. Wanted to save HP for a potential Kingdra showdown if needed.
I do love me some useful-but-not-game-breaking crits.

@Banana39489 He thought it was HP Fire on his Gengar, actually. ;)
