Pokemon Platinum Wifi Battle: MrQuack vs TheKillerNacho

Here's a battle with TheKillerNacho, who's a really damn good opponent. You can visit, watch and subscribe to him at http://www.youtube.com/user/TheKillerNacho, he's got a fuckton of great vids, beginning with Magikarp 6-0 sweep, going trough OU and UU standards, and ending with Hack battles, which may be beginning of a new, creative metagame without standards.

Anyway, we both lead with Metagrosses and we both SR on first turn, which is sorta bad for me. I decide to Meteor Mash, as we already fought once, and I expected switch out to Flygon. Instead, TheKillerNacho switched out to Zapdos. Metagross can't really hurt this thing and is gonna get 1hko/2hko'd by Heat Wave, so I went to Tyranitar, which is a pretty much 100% safe Zapdos counter. I expected he'd switch out to Flygon, as Zapdos doesn't like STAB SE Stone Edges, and Flygon resists it. He also could switch out to Metagross, but EQ was too risky in a case if he actually stayed in and T-Waved or something.

Flygon takes some damage, and since I know it's scarfed, I know it's gonna U-Turn out, or EQ which was kinda risky as being locked into a move like this sucks. I go to Gyarados to take U-Turn. KillerNacho U-Turned to Zappy. I don't really know if it's gonna Roost or Thunderbolt, but I guessed he'd rather go for a OHKO kill, and send out with Jolt. It was a mistake on my part, but I was pretty sure he wouldn't stay in and go to Flygon which is both faster than me and has immunity to my STAB, so I Shadow Ball'd instead. That was a correct guess and Flygon goes down.

TheKillerNacho send out Scizor, guessing I'm Specs'd, which was true. My Gyarados usually counters Scizors, but his build must've been the bulky one designed to counter Latias, or so is my guess, as he shrugged off Waterfalls and started to set up on me. I was sorta freightened, as this meant I have nothing other to hurt it badly that isn't Gengar (I use HP fire on it), which cannot switch in to something with +3 atk and priority move. I roar to take care of this late game. Unfortunately, I never took this Scizor down.

Roar forces Latias out. I know Latias is Specs's (Nearly everyone uses it to spam Draco Meteors), and my special def isn't the best, as Gyarados is my physical wall. I go to Meta to take Draco Meteor, but I get tricked instead. I guessed he'd go to some Meteor Mash resist, so I exploded, hoping to take Zapdos down. TheKillerNacho predicted it pretty well, and send out Metagross which took my Explosion pretty well.

I send out Jolteon, as Flygon was down and he had only one Electric immunity. Instead of finishing off Metagross, I majorly dented Tyranitar, just little below 1/2 of it's hp. I was pretty sure I could OHKO the Tyranitar, but it actually does survive with 11 hp. This really sucks for me, as Jolteon could do late game cleanup. Latias was only Electric resist, and with some prediction I could Shadow Ball it then sweep with Thunderbolts.

I send in Breloom, which is Adamant. Nacho's TTar happened to be Jolly, and therefore faster than me. Before I could Sub, I get Taunted (I really haven't see this one coming, I haven't fought a Taunttar for a really long time) which means I can't spore.

I expected a Dragon Dance here, but I get Stone Edge'd instead. I figured KillerNacho would DD in next turn, which was what he did, and I Stone Edged, killing TTar this time. TheKillerNacho send in Zappy, which obviously was going to Heat Wave, so I went to my own TTar. HP grass sorta dented me, and my Stone Edge missed, so in the next turn my TTar was already pretty low on health. Zappy died to next Stone Edge, and TheKillerNacho send out Metagross which easily revenge killed me. With Scizor around, my Tyranitar wasn't going to sweep anyway, so I let it die.

I send out Breloom, which got also Bullet Punched, and HP went to the level when I cannot Sub. I put Metagross to sleep with Spore, so I could potentailly send in Gengar and Sub. KillerNacho however, switched out to Latias, which sucks for me, as my Gengar has "only" 30 speed IV's, and Nacho's Latias had most likely 31. I expected a Draco Meteor, so I went to Gyarados, which was half dead anyway, but I got Dragon Pulsed instead. Without the Sp.Atk drop, I was unable to get a sub on Gengar, and I pretty much knew it's over at that point. I send out Gengar, hoping I would be faster. I actually did survived Dragon Pulse and KO'd back, but with not enough HP to survive sandstorm.

Scizor from early game easily Bullet Punched Breloom, and that was end of the match.

GG TheKillerNacho, we definately gotta fight again sometime. Losses hurt, but it's the only way to improve.

You fail at death fodders. Why switch out Gengar for Gyara? when you could've shadow balled his latias? That was a huge mistake and a stupid one at that.

[MisterQuacks]

@darkwatersasuke Gengar had HP fire, which means it had flawed speed IV. Since KillerNacho had a 31IV Timid Latias, I had no chance of outspeeding it.

Dude, at the end, why would u switch out Gengar for Gyara? You KO'd your own Gyara and gave Gengar unnecessary damage. You probably could've won w/o those mistakes.

[MisterQuacks]

@PKSparkxx Gengar had HP fire and therefore flawed speed IV. I'd lose the speed tie with Timid 31IV'd 252 speed Latias. I can't recall what I was thinking at the time, but I guess I was hoping Latias would Draco Meteor, so I could sac Gyarados and try to kill it with something else. I didn't had much to lose anyway, so gamble could've paid off.
