    No, you're just getting extremely lucky.

    Yeah, it was really great that the third hypnosis miss in a row resulted in a burn on Stabsworth.

    NUMBER FOUR WOOHOO

    Something IS going to sleep, no matter how many times the hax gods seek to foil me. Oh yes.

    Even if it's Seaspray.

    I forgot about Stealth Rock. Soaking up Hypnosis with Seaspray isn't going to help if it can't come back in. :|

    Uh, yes.

    By the way, ninetales is much luckier than my guys hypnosis-wise. Not that it matters as there's no possible way Inari can survive an Aqua Jet now.

    Crit unnecessary, there was no way Beltaine was going to live.

    Good game, yay Azumarill.

    Azumarill has a new sprite in Platinum where it looks as if he's delivering a witty riposte.

    Yeah, Smirk is Timid. It would be dumb to make a Specs Gengar Modest.

    Yes, but I am still dumb.

    I think that's probably the closest I've come to beating you recently. I -really- need some priority moves on dudes - I know just the one(s) I'm going to go for.

    Well, to be honest CB Azumarill can OHKO pretty much any Nintales set with Aqua Jet, so I didn't need to waste Gengar and Flygon but I felt I should be absolutely sure.

    That flinch was really really key.

    You didn't know what type of Gengar it was so it wasn't dumb to test it with Ninetales. Also you had no other choice.

    We will have to test that out sometime. I'm not sure I could OHKO Azumarill even with Energy Ball, though. DEFINITELY after two Nasty Plots, though.

    Well actually Ninetales can do alright with a large EV investment in defense. It would depend on your spread I guess.

    for example a 252 HP 252 def Impish ninetales would take 60-70%. However, no HP/def neutral nature is always OHKOd (106-125%)

    I rave about Metagross, but Azumarill is actually stronger in terms of raw attack power, as its stat is roughly equivalent to Deoxys (150) though it is a few points lower.

    Meteor Mash's higher power compensates though, unless you go with Aqua Tail over Waterfall. Waterfall has the advantages of 100% accuracy and flinch chance, however.

    True dat.

    But now -bed-. I think Inari is a much better team addition than Tailchaser, my old Ninetales.

    Wanna tell me where I went wrong? I'm still not sure where my flaws are. (Apart from refusing to take risks when I really should.)

    Uh... hm.

    Well, your team had it tough that battle. Stealth Rock hurt a couple of your pokes bad, and on top of that Slowbro with 1 Calm Mind was special defensive enough to not be 2hko'd by Seaspray. Finally CBAzu with Aqua Jet really had no counters... Your primary wall was easily 2HKO'd.

    Bronzong with Lum Berry is incredibly annoying as there's really nothing you can do to stop it setting up SR.

    You might try having at least one Specsed or Banded attacker on your teams. Also yeah a priority move or two would be good.
