U have got to be kidding me Riku... u think that guy didnt know Skarm was flying? he made gambles trying to predict my moves which acted like a double edged sword because I was one step ahead of him in the important switches.
Dude this guy is nuts I havent had such an exciting battle for a long time. He knows what hes doing and hes no amateur.
did u read the commentaries? hes not an amateur Id have to say hes at my level or better. He uses much more complex team then me.
If I was in his position I would have spammed Earthquake as well on Skarmory.
He tried to predict my move two steps ahead.
He had to spam EQ.
The only threat I had left on my team was Garchomp, if I switched in my garchomp it would have ate an EQ and die and I would have lost the match.
Slowly think about it. I have a scarfed garchomp in the yellow if it died I would have had Vaporeon and Skarm left? he would have sealed the deal by killing it.
This is the first match anyone has put so much pressure on me into thinking and foreseeing ahead.
I dont think u guys noticed but he feinted me several times by bringing in Donphan and he tried to predict I was going to bring in Skarm and he immediatly switches to Magnezone to Magnet Pull me, luckily I thought stupid and he was going to shard me so I busted out Vaporeon.
Count how many switches are in this match compared to an average match, I guarantee you its several times more switching. We both were trying to read the others next move. Which ended up in a huge switch roundabout.
My battles with -Z- back in the day and Tama werent even this intense.
Id have to say that battle is one of the most nerve racking and intense battles I ever had. It was only 5mins long in the video but it was really 45mins. I sped it up a lot.
The average battle is around 20-30mins. This one was double the length.
I really dont see how he is an amateur a guy with guts to leave his Tyranitars neck out front of gengar is either just plain stupid or he knows what hes doing. He thought I was going to use something other than Focus Blast because he thought that I thought he was going to switch. but he didnt and killed it.
-EDIT
It was hard as silly to keep that Magnezone away from my Skarmory. When he switched it I switched right out. I kept that Magnet Pull at bay by predicting a step ahead he got me though by me roaring it in -_-
Ah okay. Rikusaki, anyways the rematch was a living silly >__>
I am sorry if it seemed I was dising u or something. let me take it back.
-EDIT Again
How can a Tyranitar eat a Grass Knot and live?
How can an Aerodactyl eat a Thunderbolt and live?
He practically harnessed the Sandstorm ability that I didnt know about.
Sandstorm raises Rock Pokemon's SP DEF by 1.5
Aint that nuts?
Maybe I should slow it down so you guys can notice the little things this guy does.
Like he knew I was going to use Focus Blast on Magnezone and switched in Garchomp w/Sand Veil lowering the acc below 70...
Now that is what I call using the sand veil effectively on moves that dont have 100% Acc.
Heres a trick to counter Rapid Spin, bring out a ghost pokemon and they wont be able to remove Stealth Rock and Spikes hehe.
... bleh
