    All you need to do to break a doubles match is to bring out a Blissey (with choice scarf) and a Shedninja (with a focus sash)

    Skillswitch with Blissey

    Shedninja Dies

    Send out Spirittomb

    Skill switch with spirittomb

    Congratulations, you can't lose.

    Sorry Ink, got distracted by housemates for a while. Maybe after I've eaten if you still want to battle!

    Because now we're going to eat, 'cause it's 8pm and we are staaaaaarving.

    Noon here and I too am starving. Maybe in an hour or two

    Munkus, isn't it impossible to skill swap Wonder Guard? Pretty sure it is.
    Shouldn't the Champion know something like that?

    I don't use skill swap so I don't really know.

    Champions only need to know how to win.

    Yeah the only way to move Wonder Guard around is Trace. The other abilities and moves don't work on it.

    Well at least Nintendo put some thought into preventing doubles from being completely and totally broken.

    Also, a ton of Gyarados pack Ice Fang, Bounce only started moving in there after Platinum.

    Gyaradoses don't have Ice Fang anymore. I've never seen one on Smogon battles, either, but then again, I always take them out before they do anything because I HATE THEM.

    No one uses thunder in ou except rain dance jolteon/jirachi. The damage/accuracy gives it a lower total damage than thunderbolt.

    First thing your guy who has SR did. SR is really harsh to this team.

    So I had to think a lot more when using this team than my other one. That was a great game, I really thought I had no way of beating your Stealth rocker.

    Well Swamperts can be tough, but mind doesn't have any sort of recovery except Leftovers and Muddy is probably slower than your Hippo and I couldn't use Waterfall.
    Anyway, Scizor could take him out in 2 Hits I bet.

    This is probably showing how dumb I am, but why wouldn't waterfall work on Hippowdon.

    Becuase you would switch to Vaporeon? Avalanche would probably go first before Roar, making it weaker, and I'd be in a lousy position.

    I hate when I out think myself. I threw Magnezone away cause you knew I had Rotom, obvious counter to Scizor, and so of course you're not going to use a Fighting attack.

    I still think you're trying to out-think me, when all the while I'm going with really straightforward tactics. I wasn't going to switch to Vaporeon, since that first crit took it below the point where it could Wish, survive a hit, and then protect and recover more HP than it lost in the interim. I probably should have wished first, before beaming.

    And when I saw Magnezone, the cleverest thing that went through my head was "hey, scizor has a lot of attack, brick break will probably hurt that thing a lot."

    It's like I'm practicing Stupid-fu, making obviously bad moves, and you're responding by going, "Surely he wouldn't be that stupid, I'm going to take prediction up a notch," and then you make a move against what I SHOULD have done, when all the while I do what is simplest and most straightforward.

    tl;dr: I'm bad.

    also, are you forgetting Water Absorb? However low its health is, Waterfall would heal it up pretty well if you managed to come in on one.
