So I finished up at L64, and the team was pretty much as before except for two changes, one key and one not so much:
- As mentioned, Mawile got Brick Break
- Since I only needed one Thunderbolt for the run, I swapped Energy Ball into Tinkerbell's slot. This turned out to be a good idea.
And as usual, have some PBP... now with actual HP loss totals for the whole round.
Drasna
Of course, I'm starting with the Dragon specialist here. I'd be a fool not to.
Morgan v Dragalgae
The opening Psychic takes Dragalgae down to 5%, and it counters with a Sludge Bomb (52/172). The Full Restore gets used, Morgan Moonblasts a little under half life off, and Psychic ends it.
Maleficent v Altaria
Switch in the physical user, Play Rough OHKOs. Next.
Iphys v Noivern
Noivern is able to squeeze in a move, and it's Super Fang (103/205). Play Rough OHKOs again.
Tinkerbell v Druddigon
Dazzling Gleam takes about 3/4 off Druddigon, who survives long enough to Chip Away and Tinkerbell takes it like a boss (142/193). I'm actually surprised it wasn't Retaliate. The 2nd Full Restore meets two Dazzling Gleams to end it.
Siebold
Trying to cram in as much experience before I go after the defensive type and offensive one...
Morgan v Clauncher
Thunderbolt gets Clauncher down to 5% in a nice bit of symmetry, and Clauncher fires a Water Pulse (97/172). On the Full Restore, Morgan Moonblasts to take about 2/3 off and drop the Special Attack... and then Thunderbolt wraps. Welp.
Morgan v Gyarados
Even Kerry Fraser sees this result coming - Thunderbolt OHKO.
Tinkerbell v Barbaracle
And now you see why I brought Energy Ball back - OHKO.
Unseelie v Starmie
Starmie futilely Light Screens, and eats a full power Megahorn for a OHKO.
Malva
Given a choice between Steel and Fire, Fire wins.
Maleficent v Pyroar
Pyroar leads with Noble Roar - and unlike the Ghost run, there's no critical Earthquake. It does about 70% after the debuff. Pyroar then tries Hyper Voice (53/203) and a second Earthquake ends it.
Iphys v Talonflame
Rather than use Brave Bird which wouldn't be resisted, Talonflame Flare Blitzes (157/205), and Waterfall does the rest.
Tinkerbell v Torkoal
Surf rolls off about 90%, and Torkoal fires off a Stone Edge (138/193). On the Full Restore Dazzling Gleam lops off 20%, and Surf finishes.
Iphys v Chandelure
Shadow Ball drops Iphys down to 51, but Waterfall off near-300 Atk finishes.
Wikstrom
Much like leaving the Jeopardy opera category to the end, it's the "Let's get this crap over with" fight.
Maleficent v Klefki
The evil keys drop some Spikes, and the resulting Earthquake... leaves Klefki with about 10%. Two Fire Fangs fire on the Full Restore turns, unfortunately the first one is the one that gets the burn. Klefki Torments but falls to a 2nd Earthquake.
Maleficent v Scizor
OK, question...this Scizor has Bullet Punch, right? WHY DIDN'T IT USE IT?? Fire Fang OHKOs. That was the 2nd theme of the run besides near misses - AI making some stupid moves.
Maleficent v Probopass
Earthquake activates Probopass's Sturdy, and the counter is the obvious Flash Cannon (25/203). Since I can't use a 2nd Earthquake because of Torment, Fire Fang ends it. At this point, Maleficent levels so he's out for the fight (I left Exp Share off).
Tinkerbell v Aegislash
Tink goes down to 169/193 because of Spikes. The first Flamethrower gets blocked by King's Shield, and the 2nd hits Aegislash in Shield Forme for about half. Because of the Spikes, Iron Head is enough to finish.
Gardevoir v Aegislash
Shadow Ball ends the match. Only one KO... phew.
Diantha
This is it. Don't get scared now. And maybe I might use Puck here?
Unseelie v Hawlucha
Hawlucha goes first and leads with the obvious Poison Jab (169/255). Moonblast OHKOs coming back.
Puck v Tyrantrum
Play Rough, the more powerful move here, does 70% and Puck survives the countering Earthquake because of Intimidate (46/148). 2nd Play Rough closes out the dino.
Puck v Goodra
Play Rough OHKOs. After the Ghost run, this is a godsend.
Puck v Aurorus
Iron Head OHKOs this time. He's on fire!
Tinkerbell v Gourgeist
...but now he's gotta come out as I need something to beat Ghost/Grass. Tink fires a Flamethrower... and it crits for a OHKO. Ooooh yeah.
Unseelie v MegaGardevoir
Battle of the Fairies down the stretch. Megavoir is faster (out of the gate, Mega speed doesn't take effect on the transformation turn) and Moonblast leaves Unseelie at 22HP. Flash Cannon... leaves Megavoir at 10%. Sigh. On the first Full Restore, a Moonblast does about 70% and lowers Megavoir's SA... but I have to heal here, giving Megavoir two shots at -1. Both hit, both lower SA, and Unseelie has 52 HP left, but Flash Cannon connects and we have a new champ!
I'll make the announcement about the next type Friday night or Saturday with a type preview, poll closes then.
