See what happens when you get a big head Mr. How many times have I told you to think outside the box. Surf on Latios was used mainly to eliminate a focus sash on one or both of your leads. The opponent figured in the rain that it would KO Blaziken and Ice Beam would take out the two leads. However, being you and only you, like I would expect. You showed them otherwise. I must say one thing, at least you were honest enough to say you were suprised bout the sash on Typhlosion. Good battle bro!
I expected Sunny Day instead of Hypnosis from your Exeggutor seeing the team preview there. Would have forced Kyogre off though, so it did turn out better than expected in that regard as you were able to finish em off.
Foe was pretty much comprised of 2 or 3 combo's with virtually no team synergy. Real shame I'd say! Keep it up!
@FierceBirdOfFlame - I very rarely have use for sunny day, unless I'm up against an opposing weather team. Hopefully not too long from now a sequel will be announced, where I can make great use of Drought Ninetales along with the full extent of the teams strategy. I admit I took a gamble on not using sunny day, but luckily I went with my gut instinct on predicting a Groudon encounter. Team synergy is greatly important and to not see it when it should be present is disappointing.
I think I have to disagree with your assessment of your opponent's skill. Kyogre resists Surf, so, if it hadn't been for that crit, Surf wouldn't have been a bad move. And at 2:10 your opponent was no doubt expecting Shiftry to explode. I'd say your opponent had a decent amount of skill, but just ended up overpredicting.
@Antar1011 - I can relate to what your stating, no doubt. But, why would anyone want to risk hurting their own Pokemon regardless as to whether they resist the attack or not? The way I see it is, the more HP you have, the better the chance of success.
As for your observation regarding the double Protect is fairly understandable. Lucky for them I don't carry Explosion on Shiftry. I thought using Protect at 2:10 was a pretty cool move to scout for priorities.
@sparkyblu - Ah yeah your right. I thought Hypnosis was at 80% accuracy, which is why I originally assigned Exeggutor with it. The fact that it's 70% and Sleep Powder is 75% accurate makes more sense to replace the move. I assumed Hypnosis was more accurate due to the amount of players using it and how successful it's been used against me. Thank you for rectifying that for me ;-}
Great battle as always atreecko. Well played battle by you and the opponent was ablt to making up for it a bit, which was interesting to see if they could turn it around or not. Keep up the great work!
The dead has risen! So good to have you back on my friend. Naturally your skills have remained impeccable. Leave it you to spank a spammer so effectively. Please keep em coming.
@PokeWorldDP - Wish I knew? For some reason most of the opponents I face don't like trading passes! I think most people take a lose way to seriously nowadays. Pokemon is not as fun and friendly as it used to be.
If I had to guess, I'd say yes to a possible soul dew on Latios.
@OniGlalie - To be perfectly honest with you. I don't mind the use of Draco Meteor nor Super Power, providing those moves are used correctly. It frustrates me to no end to watch an opponent practically destroy themselves before the battle has even begun.Sadly, this was the only decent battle I managed to capture that was worthy of uploading.
The thing is that my opponent kept spamming these moves EVEN when they were at -6! And I was losing like 5-7% until I beat them. And he did the same thing with its Latios on my Mawile.
I guess he thought the moves where so powerful that stats drops didn't matter...
Great battle as always!

How dare you kill Latios and Kyogre, Tyler!! D= Jk, jk.
The battle was really enjoyable, despite the silly moves your opponent made here and there, it was still a great battle!

If you don't mind me asking, why not put Sleep Powder over Hypnosis on Exeggutor. It's more accurate.

I find it funny how much Latios's Dragon Pulse did to Exeggutor than Kyogre's Ice Beam. Even with the Yache Berry I expected Ice Beam to do more...x]
Meh... Soul Dew?

The same thing happened to me with a Superpower spamming Ttar and Draco Meteor spamming Latios. They kept spamming these moves, man...idiots.

@OniGlalie Well, generally two Draco Meteors do more than two Dragon Pulses, but the idea is to switch out after using it...
