So off we went to the Elite 4... and you know what this means. PBP time!
Malva
Probably the type I'm best equipped to handle.
Naga v Pyroar
Opening Earthquake OHKOs.
Komodo v Torkoal
Surf does about 85%, and Torkoal counters with Earthquake for 100 dmg (61/161). Dragon Pulse up against Full Restore 1 does 2/3, allowing Sludge Bomb to finish.
Kaiser v Talonflame
Plays out just like in Rock - Brave Bird does about 40 and Rock Slide ends it.
Alcar v Chandelure
Earthquake OHKOs.
Siebold
Figured I could take the Water next, but I made this one way harder than it needed to be.
Seath v Clawitzer
Mega Thunderbolt OHKOs.
Seath v Gyarados
Remember, when an Ampharos goes Mega, its speed actually DROPS. So Gyarados can get in an Earthquake to bring Seath near 1/3 health (69/203) before getting the inevitable Thunderbolt. I probably should have gone to Komodo here, since it had similar Defense and I wouldn't be stuck against Starmie.
Komodo v Starmie
Starmie gets the jump and throws up a Light Screen, meaning Komodo can only do about 45% with Thunderbolt. Starmie throws a Psychic that takes Komodo to 45/161 and drops Special Defense, while a second Thunderbolt puts it in Full Restore range.I switch to Kaiser.
Kaiser v Starmie
After the Full Restore, Starmie KOs the weakened Kaiser with Dazzling Gleam.
Hurtslime v Starmie
Dragon Pulse goes first and takes 30% off, while Dazzling Gleam takes 70 off Hurtslime (129/199). The Light Screen drops, so I probably should have gone to Sludge Bomb which would've put it in Dragon Pulse KO range even with the Light Screen, but a second Pulse means it gets to Full Restore after putting Light Screen back up. Dragon Pulse is now a 4HKO, and Hurtslime can only squeeze in two before falling to Dazzling Gleam.
Alcar v Starmie
At which point I declare a motion of "F it" and Earthquake Starmie to death.
Seath v Barbaracle
And Mega Thunderbolt OHKOs again.
Drasna
Yay, mirror match!
Alcar v Dragalgae
Earthquake OHKOs, as it should.
Kaiser v Altaria
Dragon Claw OHKOs.
Hurtslime v Noivern
Dragon Pulse takes Hurtslime to 91 before Ice Beam OHKOs.
Hurtslime v Druddigon
We go for the sweep, but Dragon Pulse leaves Druddigon at about 5% and Dragon Tail picks it off. I forgot for a minute that 48 was the base SPEED, not Special Defense.
Seath v Druddigon
Full Restore gets met with a Mega Dragon Pulse for the circuitous OHKO.
Wikstrom
Saving the worst for last here.
Alcar v Klefki
Klefki falls for the bait and gets Earthquaked to death.
Alcar v Probopass
No multi-hit moves here, so we do it the old fashioned way - Earthquake to 1HP, take Flash Cannon (123/219), Brick Break on the Full Restore and EQ for the finish.
Hurtslime v Aegislash
Flamethrower does half to Shield Form, then Hurtslime gets Iron Head to 64HP. Second Flamethrower finishes.
Hurtslime v Scizor
Remember how Scizor's had four or five opportunities to prove Bullet Punch WASN"T theoretical? Yeah, about that. He finally pulls it out to finish the weakened Hurtslime.
Naga v Scizor
Fire Fang OHKOs coming back, as I thank Goddish I kept that one.
Diantha
Time to hope this is more Ice than, well, anything else.
Seath v Hawlucha
Hawlucha Swords Dances futilely and falls to Mega Thunderbolt.
Alcar v Aurorus
You'd think I'd be crazy to throw out a Ground/Dragon against Ice. As it turned out... crazy like a Delphox. Brick Break OHKOs.
Naga v Goodra
Dragon Claw OHKOs.
Hurtslime v Tyrantrum
Dragon Pulse OHKOs...
Hurtslime v Gourgeist
Flamethrower OHKOs...
Alcar v Gardevoir
...and Poison Jab justifies its existence by OHKOing! New hero!
Pictured: The last time Ricky won a title like that, it was in 23 minutes in Chicago.
And this time, I remembered to upload the team (sorry Rock dudes), so we'll sleep on this and start Bugging out in the AM.
Time of the fall: 35h00m.
