    Maaaan, combo didn't work. There WAS a chance that Ipinch could barely live that Ice Beam if Kaylee had no SpA EVs, but it critted anyway so meh.

    Predicted that, dunno why I didn't use Return. Ah well.

    For some reason I thought that was a good idea. It wasn't. I'm just playing badly. Fuggin Bio-Devil, I only brought one special attacker and he's weak to Shadow Sneak ; /

    What? why would you keep Kaylee in? Focus Blast did half!

    Now that I'm listening to my voice of prediction you're not doing the moves!

    Heh. Good game. A combination of a few minor blunders I shouldn't have even made and an extreme weakness to... what Bio-Devil is cost me this one.

    Blue is victorious! Why does he do the things he does? Only he knows.

    I'll be waiting online, speed.

    Yes, great battle! If you want to kick yourself, know that he does not even have shadow sneak. He may later, though. I can heart scale that, right?

    Honestly I was like 'he's going to use that guy to take the sleep. USE RETURN you DUMBASS.

    and then I was like, nahhhh he wouldn't do that.

    But then you did. Having a usable sleep move would have made the...pokemon I couldn't handle much easier.

    I hope you actually HAD shadow sneak.

    Yeah I guess that would have been something easy to predict me to do, since you did the same thing every time with lasagna up 'till that point. You're just fortunate you carry that muk! Damn him!

    Yeah I at least completely nullified your (annoying) entry hazard setup that time around. Seriously your teams are really well constructed and every pokemon is genuinely useful (read: OU), which is probably why you win so much around here. To beat you I'm going to need to play better than you, as my teams are pretty random.

    That game we were maybe on par but I need to listen to my (almost always right) inner voice of prediction more.

    I think I listen to it more on Shoddy Battle because I can easily get another fight in 30 seconds or so.

    Hasty decisions are my #1 problem. Easily the biggest blunder of that game was allowing tht guy to take the sleep, but there were several other decisions that I could have done better on.

    For example it was safe for you to assume that Azumarill would use a STAB move as I knew you had two resists to the move that was supereffective against Kaylee. However, one of those two was neutral (2HKO'd) to said stab move. Therefore, I should have used my other attack, even though you had a poke immune to it, as it would hit what you DID end up switching in.

    Grrr... when I think what I could have accomplished had I just THOUGHT about it for a few moments....

    Ohhhh yes, next time victory will be mine.

    LasagnaCat is really really useful and could have easily done much better if I had let him. I like OBLITERATE, but he works best if successfully assisted by iPinch due to the way I setup his EV spread.

    Those were the new guys on the team.

    By the way you're the only person around here that has beaten me badly every time I've fought him and I find this infuriating.

    Yeah, but both times I was outplayed at critical points and that cost me big. This fight I was doing fine in the early game but right after Muk got burned I looked my my remaining team members and went, 'well... shit.'

    Admittedly as already mentioned Bio-Devil played a big part here but IF I had played better I COULD have dealt with him.

    Had I known about the lack of shadow sneak that would have been cool but I can't blame myself for that one.

    to paraphrase, BAWWWWWWWWWW

    Nnnnngh. I need to fix my Umbreon again. I am NOT training a fourth and levelling it to 71 with no attacking moves worth shit to get Moonlight. :| Actually wait. It's not training it to 71 for Moonlight that is the bother, it's training the Eevee to 36 for Baton Pass, I guess that's not so bad.

    See, I want to replace Toxic with an Egg Move that it DID HAVE before I taught it Toxic, but I don't want to breed/train another. So my options are Attract or Captivate (BLAH) or Substitute... hmm. Sub might be pretty nice, actually. Wonder how many HP my Umbreon has at 100. I bet it's a number that divides by 16.

    Oh hey, Mush, remember that epic battle we had where you had Woundwort and Huck Finn left and I only had Scizor, and Scizor OHKOed Woundwort with Quick Attack, and then you somehow failed to kill me based solely on using Waterfall instead of Aqua Jet since Scizor had very little HP left, which resulted in doom for Huck since Scizor used Quick Attack?

    Yeah, remember those old memories of humiliating defeat.

    If I remember right, that battle happened right after I took Aqua Jet off of him because everyone insisted that it wasn't necessary!

    I don't, I'm afraid. However, I would recommend buying vitamins from the veilstone dept store instead of the tower, since money is easier to grind than bp.
