PBR Wi-fi Battle 1/18/08 (Part 1)

This is the first part of a 2-part battle. You can find part 2 of this match here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQGqohEbtCk

*SPOILERS*

First things first, you are probably wondering why I didn't use Detect when I switched in Yanmega. To be honest, I had completely overlooked the fact that Speed Boost doesn't activate when you switch in.

There was some pretty gnarly hax going on in this battle, both on my part with the critical hits on Milotic, and my opponent's part with Confuse Ray. This battle also reminded me that I utterly despise stalling Umbreon with every fiber of my being. Luckily, justice was served to that evil thing courtesy of Roserade at a crucial moment.

My team: Roserade, Yanmega, and Azumarill

My opponent's team: Espeon, Milotic, and *grumble* Umbreon

Why didn't Espeon's synchronize put Roserade to sleep?

[SimChao]

You know what? That's a really good observation. I didn't even notice that.

Has anyone else had something like this happen? I'm pretty sure that Synchronize applies to sleep as well, and Natural Cure doesn't block status...

[Bndu]

Huh...I don't know why you just didn't use sleep powder the first turn...

[SimChao]

Well gee, maybe because it has a brilliant 75% accuracy and Roserade is weak is Espeon's STAB? :o

[Bndu]

Chill, just making a comment.  And 75% is pretty high.

[SimChao]

Yeah, just not high enough when you'll get OHKO'd by a super effective move if you miss...

[RawrNinjaPirate]

Being a Yanmega user I noticed two things.

1: yanmega with protect is better than detect and you should have detected that turn you were in with espeon to become faster with speed boost.

that milotic was beautiful!!!

[Fullm3tal0ni]

Synchro dosen't pass sleep. only paralyze, poison, and burn.

[mudkipdude14]

I use an Espeon as well for my wifi battles, and I always use it against stauts inflicters such as Togekiss or Umbreon, so that's why I noticed it, but every time my Espeon has been statused it always synchronizes the opponent pokemon as well.

STAB boosts the power of moves of your own type eg. fighting if you know it. Lets say azumarill new waterfall, then instead of 80 power, it goes to 120. Thats what STAB is

[iluvflygon]

at o1:42 it looked like yanmega was dodging psychic

you should replace yanmegas hypnosis with double team

what does STAB stand for anyway

[pebble99999]

actually it wud be better to replace sludge bomb with synthesis so the sun will be ur game

[pebble99999]

Roserade will be UNSTOPPABLE if you use this move set:

-Sunny day(very impotant, u'll see)

-Weather ball(the power doubles to 100 if sunny day is in effect and it becomes a fire type move)

-Solarbeam(due to sunnyday you wud not need to charge for a turn and extra power due to grass traits)

-Slugeboom(extra power due to poison traits)
