WARSTORY:Jacetheace vs. FusionDance

I have been running this rain dance team of mine for quite a while on shoddy, and i started to play one night after leaving shoddy alone for at least a month. I was kind of bummed after being ranked 7 on the ladder the day after it was created only to fall off of it within a couple weeks due to the small amount of time i was playing and my overall record. Anyway, on to the battle.

My team:



It's better for suspense if i don't show FusionDance's team.


Rules: Ladder Match, Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Evasion Clause, Species Clause, Strict Damage Clause
FusionDance sent out Gallade (lvl 100 Gallade ?).
Jacetheace sent out Floatzel (lvl 100 Floatzel ?).
Gallade used Hypnosis.
Floatzel fell asleep!
Floatzel is fast asleep!
---
I have to express my ignorance at both Gallade’s speed and possible movesets. I don’t expect this to do anything really, and bring in good old bronzong so i can set up my 8 turn rain dance and get some rocks up.

FusionDance switched in Celebi (lvl 100 Celebi).
Jacetheace switched in Bronzong (lvl 100 Bronzong).
---
Celebi used Calm Mind.

Celebi used Calm Mind.
Celebi's special attack was raised.
Celebi's special defence was raised.
Bronzong used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around your foe's team!
The rain continues to fall.

Celebi:+2SpAtk/Spdef

I’m really not concerned w/ celebi cming up. My strategy for zong is always to get up rain, rocks, and then explode out, so i know that ill just kill celebi anyway.
---
Celebi used Calm Mind.
Celebi's special attack was raised.
Celebi's special defence was raised.
Bronzong used Explosion.
Celebi lost 84% of its health.
Jacetheace's Bronzong fainted.
The rain continues to fall.
Celebi's leftovers restored its health a little!
Celebi restored 6% of its health.

Celebi:22%, +3SpAtk/SpDef
Bronzong...dead

5-6 FusionDance

I’m not concerned with celebi’s failure to die, because kingra will outspeed it any day in the rain.
---
Jacetheace switched in Kingdra (lvl 100 Kingdra ?).
Kingdra used Waterfall.
It's not very effective...
Celebi lost 23% of its health.

He makes a bad move here, i would have surely died if he had just attacked after surviving my hit.

Kingdra:60%
Bliss:65%

Unfortunately blissey was switching into a dragon pulse, so it didnt take enough damage for the waterfall KO... Kingdra is getting destroyed by residual damage, and FusionDance is stalling out the rain with all his switching.

Kingra: 50%, and with a four turn rain dance for the team
Blissey:100%

Now here i make a decision i’m not sure why i made... I figured that azumarill would be the best choice to take blissey, since he was bulky enough to survive anything bliss could throw at him.

Luckily Garchomp snaps out of confusing quickly so he doesnt get raped by ice fang, which Gliscor luckily did not use. My only chance now is to hope floatzel wakes up for a comeback, since floatzel has ice fang she might be able to get gliscor into outrage ko range.

With garchomp staring down the evil maw of Gliscor, he grins and pulls out...

Oh and you may be wondering why i’m using surf on Garchomp- i figured that since rain dance was likely to be up fire blast would be pointless, and surf would add a totally cool surprise factor. This was the first time I ever used it in a battle however. He mostly outrages anyway.

PROPS:
+Garchomp for winning it with surf
+Floatzel for waking up and using rain dance
+FusionDance for not going utterly insane after seeing Garchomp use surf

SLOPS:
-Kingdra for not pwning like he usually does
-Blissey for not dying to azumarill’s waterfall(I was genuinely surprised)
-there was a bit of hax involved, but i guess he had it coming since he froze my surfing garchomp.

Holy damn, best Surfing Garchomp team ever.
I've been looking around for a good Rain Dance team, this one is awesome. Good, scary, finish too.
 
Wow a Rain Dance team, complete with Surfing Garchomp. Surf really does knock out many Garchomp counters, such as Gliscor and Hippowdon. if you don't mind me asking, how many SpAtk Ev's does Garchomp have? I'm guessing none with a neutral nature?
 
Very exciting, especially the end. better than most of the warstories being posted at the moment. Very close, though, you got lucky.
 
Now that was cool. I have to follow everyone else's reply and sweep my hat from my head to salute the wickedness of your Rain-Dance Surfing Garchomp.

That's actually me. SwordsDance is the name i battle under, and FusionDance is what i use when i like to test teams.

Yeah, it was quite ridiculous to see a surfing garchomp, but i can honestly say (and i as i said after the battle concluded) that you deserved to win, solely for having the right pokemon to finish both of mine, conventional or not. GG my good sir.

Good warstory and nice team you have there, especially Surfing Garchomp. However I think the prediction was subpar by you for the most part, and that prediction wise your opponent deserved to win hands down.
 
Haha, NICEEE job with SurfChomp. So unexpected, brilliant match and great win.

Would appreciate it if you formatted the rest of your battle like you did in the beginning; it's much easier to read.
 
Nice warstory...I never knew Garchomp could learn surf, a ground type learning surf? Anyway, on shoddy, freezehax seems to happen much more than usual.

^Rhydon, Nidoking and Nidoqueen learn Surf too. If they can learn surf Garchomp the shark learning it is hardly surprising imo.

Nice job man with both the story and the battle.
 
this its one of the best war stories i have read, the ending was surprising and fun, the freeze hax and the marvelous ending, I think you should have switched earlier with Pert vs Gliscor, and the surfing chomp kicks ass !!
 
I could not stop reading this warstory. Perhaps it was the random luck that made it so suspenseful, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. As said, nice surfing scarfchomp.
 
When I tried Surfing Garchomp I used a Calm Mind passer, which not only allows it to damage a lot of its counters but also allows it to survive a few more Ice Beams before going down, but it definitely works better in the late game.

Nice war story, quite enjoyable.
 
sorry about the original formatting, i had to get off the computer in a hurry in the middle of posting this, i'll finish it for you guys.
@cynthia, it was just a regular scarfchomp. surf was an afterthought over FB since in rain surf would be more useful
