Yeahhhh, Very, Very Bad pun, I know, but I couldn't think of anything better. Anywho, for those of you that may remember, I put up a warstory a while ago that apparently sucked, so I ad to study up on some to see what a good warstory was.So, I believe I've had a rather decent match, with some good predictions on both ends possibly capable of Warstory-material.My oppeonent had a decent score(high 1100's maybe 1200) so I think he knew what he was doing.Finally, be aware that I'm a pretty big noob when it comes to competitive battles, so when I make several mistakes, please forgive me! But don't Worry, My opponent definitely did not seem like a noob in any way. I mean there were times he may have been able to make a slightly better move, but that doesn't mean he made outright bad moves, like I made.
My moves will be in Green, While my opponents are inBlue, And My commentary will be in Bold.
MY TEAM:
OPPONENTS TEAM:
From Looking at his team, It's kinda hard to tell exactly what his strategy is. But since Crawdaunt and Rhyperior are there,Trick room may be an Option, but Chandelure can makes it rather hard to tell, as I use mine as a scarfed revenge killer/Fire absorber, But it can also use Trick Room. Chandelure isn't very fast though, so I don't know how well that works in the field...Nonetheless, 4 of them can easily destroy Abomasnow, So He isn't coming in First, I'll start out with Weavile, since it can put quite the dent into 4 of his Pokemon as well, although it's unlikely he'll lead with most of them... But we'll see.

Metadraxis sent out Bubba! (Reuniclus)
Weavile is exerting its Pressure!
Seems like Weavile was a somewhat good Choice, However,Most Reuniclus do carry Focus Blast, Which didn't occur to me while making this decision,and since my team is largely Ice, I don't think I can easily switch in any pokemon short of Reuniclus and Chandelure(Maybe Tentacruel), Which my opponent may see coming and take out with a super-effective Shadow-Ball(Or Psychic in case of Tentacruel), but Shadow Ball isn't on most Chandelure, are they?I'm sure there's a better move to put in place of Shadow Ball.Nonetheless, it unfortunately means I may already have to give up one of my pokemon in the first couple turns. Nonetheless, I go for Night Slash hoping my opponent either over-predicts and uses Shadow ball, which may not take out Weavile, so I can at least damage it well enough.

I honestly did not expect that in the least. Considering That Reuniclus could severely damage/OHKO every pokemon on my team, It would seem that this is either some fancy Brilliant strategy, Or a non-Standard Reuniclus which doesn't Carry Focus Blast(I mean, it's possible, mine doesn't)However, since I rarely think too deeply at the beginning of a matchup, I make what I know is probably a mistake and go straight for the offensive.

O boy, Trick Room... This could be trouble. Considering many of my pokemon rely on speed(Chandy and Weavile, for instance)I could be in serious trouble, Nothing I shouldn't be able to handle though, but considering he's nearly 200 points higher than me, he's most likely better than me also. But this is looking worse and worse for Weavile at every turn, so I had better Switch out, and since Poryggon2 can usually not do anything to Reuniclus(to the best of my recollection) So switching in Reuniclus seems like my best bet here. Nonetheless, I've already made some mistakes, so my opponent already has a pretty large advantage over me.

Damn Crits. Reuniclus being pretty damaged by that still haves him keep tthe advantage, but also probably forces him to switch out. So I can use this to my advantage to get a free CM in. maybe giving me the ability to recover. Mainly Considering that If anyone bothered to read my team more In Depth, You'll realise that I have a very odd Moveset on mine(CM, Recover,Psyshock, HP Ground) Meaning I can also do nothing to Porygon2,short of Psyshock after several Calm minds, leading me to seriously hope he switches out To something I could have easily taken down.

Reuniclus coming in is bad for me. My reuniclus can do nothing to his except use CM, but neither can my opponent(Didn't know most carried Shadow Ball Yet, I'm new to Competitive battling...)So my best chance would be to CM again, Riiiiiiiigggghhhhhhhht?

Uh oh, Shadow Ball, which I didn't know Most Reuniclus carry.(It's a learning system guys! I'll figure everything out soon enough) But Reuniclus is now damaged pretty severely, so I either have to switch out, or sacrifice him.But He's been one of my best teammates on my team since he started out, so I can't just give him up for a safe switch-in, especially considering He's slow enough to possibly outspeed others under Trick room and Do damage before he loses that last 5% of his HP. As such, My opponent is probably expecting me to sacrifice him, which means he'll shadow ball again, giving me a Safe switch-in to Tentacruel, and since Trick Room was started on Turn 2, it will end next turn, so I can not only switch in, but also set up at least one layer of Toxic Spikes! And from the looks of his team, it looks like he either has no plans to play any hazards down, or doesn't have any, meaning Tentacruel also has no reason to spin, so his only needed use is to use TS. So In comes Tentacruel!

It Seems my prediction was correct, Lucky Me. And Trick Room ended, so Tentacruel is practically guaranteed to go First, and can easily put a layer of Toxic Spikes down. And since Reuniclus is almost guaranteed to either use Psychic to OHKO me, or Trick Room, To OHKO me next turn. either way, I can lay down one layer of Toxic Spikes, Which is all I need to properly Work Glaceon's magic. And Again, Tentacruel really has no more use in this matchup, aside from laying it's Toxic Spikes, Which it can definitely do.

I Guess my opponent wanted to guarantee Trick Room comes up, which gives Tentacruel a very, Very short timespan on his consciousness. And Since Tentacruel is, as much as I hate to say it, pretty worthless in this battle, I can sacrifice him and safely switch someone in. I'm thinking it's finally time for Abomasnow to Set up Hail, and possibly take out Reuniclus with high accuracy Blizzards.And then there's always the Chance Attract will hax him over to hell and back.

Ahhh, the wondrous under-estimation of attrract. do you think Whitney in GSC caused so many people so much trouble because of rollout? I don't think so. and besides, who wouldn't love this face?
Well, I wouldn't, but pokemon seem to have a very strange taste in women. But anyway, To those who aren't aware, Attract causes a 50% chance the opponents pokemon will be unable to attack each turn. yes,50% Chance, and in the PO world, nobody bothers to change their pokemon's genders, their always Male!(well, except in the few instances of pokemon that can only be female, like Miltank and Blissey)As such, Attract is a very useful, and very effective strategy. especially when My opponent doesn't switch out, not only because they underestimate the power of attract, they think it will be useless on a pokemon with one HP!Anyway, I feel this will give me a great oppurtunity to Get in a Blizzard or two, as in theory, I should get at least one in.So to all you doubters of the almighty attract, i ask you to watch the following!

And that, my friends, is the underrated power of attract.Poor man's paralysis my ass.Nonetheless, it's only been one turn, of which I could've done without using attract the turn before, so it's really a matter of luck now. If Reuniclus is unable to attack again, then Attract did it's job, and I can possibly KO it. If Reuniclus does attack, then I just extended this battle for another turn.Nonetheless, from my Attract-using experiences, My opponent still won't switch out, because they have the chance to KO Abomasnow here, despite the 50% chance of not being able to attack.However, My opponent also knows it has a sash, so it can't switch in Rhyperior(He probably wouldn't anyway) or Crawdaunt in Fear of me expecting that and hitting with a possible OHKO-ing Energy Ball. And Chandelure is so frail it won't like a Blizzard or an energy ball, even if it resists it. But Gallade is a easily switchable pokemon, having enough bulk to not be severely damaged by blizzard or Energy Ball, and is then Able to take that final shot at abomasnow down. However, Gallade is more of a special sweeper, and if he switches to Gallade, I can switch to Chandy, which I believe should resist all of Gallade's attacks. So for my opponent, leaving Reuniclus in may very well be his best decision. So, because I don't want to overthink this, as it may cause me the match. So Blizzard is the move that should cause the most damage to Reuniclus, or whomever he switches into.

I have yet to find one.But, I can KO it with shadow Ball, at least, if my opponent doesn't predict this and swith to Porygon, which will in the end, screw up my entire attempt at a sweep.

Well, He didn't Switch out, but I guess he overpredicted, expecting me to expect him to switch into Porygon, so he kept Reuniclus in, if not to Take a dive, and since most sets are Choiced(I think) He can have his Porygon Trace Flash Fire, so whether I go with Fire Blast or Shadow Ball, He perfectly walls me either way. Damn good strategy, looking back on it. And it worked fairly well. May have worked better if He just switched out Reuniclus instead of sacrificing im, but whatever, it's better for me:) Anyway, My Chandy is Choiced, so I am required to switch out, And I may as well switch into the one pokemon on my team with a Fighting Move, Weavile, while he is given a free turn to re-set up Trick room.

Looking at it now, Porygon2 is actually pretty beaten down(about 30%HP(Well, It looked like less during the actual match)) because of Poison and Hail, and I can possibly take it out before it can do any damage by using Ice Shard, Where Porygon could use Focus Blast Or Flamethrower(Have absolutely no idea what Porygon2 learns...)To OHKO him, So I might as well do as much damage as possible before maybe fainting.

Well, It seems that Porygon2 doesn't have good variety in terms of attacking moves, using Thunder there, but it did Put Weavile in critical condition(20%HP, and at Weavile's defenses, it probably couldn't survive a tackle)But Porygon2 is even worse(5%) I'm also rather sure Porygonn2 can learn recover, so I need to Go for Ice Shard again, otherwise t can either recover, then Thunder/some other attacking move and take on my next pokemon at around 50% health, or use Thunder, KOing my Weavile before it can properly attack. Nonetheless, Porygon2 has like 6HP left, so Ice shard is obviously the way to go, but still...

Now I'm stuck in a corner. Chandy is out, and while I might be able to OHKO with Night Slash, Trick Room is still up, and Weavile can't take a hit from Chandelure anyway.Anyway, I'm assuming Chandelure's moveset is somewhere around Flamethrower/TR/Energy Ball/Shadow Ball or something close. so I can either switch out, or sacrifice my weavile, which I don't neccesarily want to do because, like Reuniclus, I feel he will come back and do something great later in the matchup(Reuniclus hasn't panned out yet, but I'm sure he will) sO I look over my options. Only Abomasnow and Tentacruel have fainted so far, so I can switch in Glaceon, Who will easily succumb to a flamethrower, Reuniclus, who will die to whatever whatever move it comes in on, and Chandelure, who may absorb an incoming Fire attack, which can be very likely, depending on how much my opponent likes seeing "It's Super-Effective" on the screen. So, my best choice is to switch to my Chandelure and absorb the inevitable Fire attack

I should have definitely seen that coming. And in my spur of noobishness, I bring in Glaceon, while Reuniclus is the infinitely better option, considering it can most likely OHKO with HP Ground.But the real point is, with my nooby move, I've put myself at a severe disadvantage by letting one of my top pokemon take a fall, which means from now on, I'm unable to absorb incoming fire/fighting moves-from anything- In the end, It doesn't really matter, I get a chance to show off Glaceon's greatness, albeit earlier than I wanted to. I also run a very different Glaceon from the standard(at least the gen 4 standard) as it is more of a Stallrein kinda thing, except it's glaceon because I love Glaceon and Hate Walrein with a fire stronger than the Sun.(Seriously, It is one of my most hated pokemon ever)Nonetheless, after bringing her in, I realised my mistake, but now cannot switch Reuniclus back in. So I need to use her to stall out Trick room in order to switch in reuniclus on The Turn Chandy will use trick room. Feel free to read ahead the next 3 or so turns as I sow off Glaceon''s stalling greatness.

My mistake, it turns out it was on it's last trick room turn. Thank god because I don't think Glaceon would have enough HP left over to make a substitute after a flamethrower, if it was even alive. Anyway, I hope thanks to Protect, My opponent can set up trick room while he assumes I sub, so I can safely switch to Reuniclus, outspeed him under Trick room, and KO him with HP Ground. But, he could see This coming, and KO me with Shadow Ball, leaving me with Glaceon and Weavile, both seriously weak to fire moves, and leading to my defeat. Sometimes though, You know you've just gotta go with your gut on things like this.

The foe's Candelurio is hurt by poison!
YES! My prediction was correct. This essentially guarantees that his Chandelure goes down, unless Chandelure can learn a priority move of some kind, which I don't think he can. He could always switch, but He knows I have CM, which means I probably have recover, meaning I could Recover, then back at 60-70% HP, I could severely damage whatever He switches in. SO, For him, I really Don't believe switching is the best option. So, He can try to out-predict me by going with shadow ball while I recover, which could very well KO me.However, I can predict he will expect I will predict he will switch, so he'll stay in, and I can KO with HP Ground. But, then again, he could predict that I'm predicting that he'll overpredict, costing him Chandelure, so he could switch to some that would reduce the move I would most likely use(Shadow Ball, according to him, he doesn't know I have HP Ground) so he could switch to something that resists it and then KO reuniclus. However thinking so deeply into this started to give me a headache about 1/2way through, so I went with the simple approach, and HP Grounded him.

Yeah, I didn't know Crawdaunt had a base 120 Attack before this, so I noobed out yet again by keeping Reuniclus in. I knew Crawdaunt had a reason to be there. I just always thought Crawdaunt was just average across the board, not incredibly powerful like that. And this is where My opponents advantage increases.While quickly looking online, I realise Crawdaunt can learn both Brick Break and Superpower, and with Trick room still up for another turn or two, I need to stall it out. and that unfortunately means......

I have a sacrifice Weavile.
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
A very sad day, but from this, I can not only do slight damage with Ice Shard, so Glaceon can stall for slightly less time, but also cause another turn of trick room to go down the toilet.So Weavile will do his Team well inreturn for not being sacrificed earlier. see, I knew he would have a use later too!

If you would like to know why Glaceon would Fail in Trick room, it is because of Crawdaunt having superpower, actually. If you haven't seen a Stallrein/stalleon/Stallstoise(been experimenting with a rain Dish-Leftover Blastoise as well) you will know that they mainly spam Protect and Substitute to avoid damage until the opponent dies from Hail/whatever status is inflicted on them at the present time(Poison or Burn)In Trick Room, Crawdaunt would outspeed Glaceon, and possibly OHKO with a superpower. And if You didn't know, I'm running out of things to write, as I just explained how a stallrein/eon/stoise works. don't fear, as the next several turns are Glaceon stalling the pokemon to death, you really don't have to read them, you can just go to the last turn if you'd like.

Well, That's my warstory, let me know if I missed anything!
My moves will be in Green, While my opponents are inBlue, And My commentary will be in Bold.
MY TEAM:
OPPONENTS TEAM:
From Looking at his team, It's kinda hard to tell exactly what his strategy is. But since Crawdaunt and Rhyperior are there,Trick room may be an Option, but Chandelure can makes it rather hard to tell, as I use mine as a scarfed revenge killer/Fire absorber, But it can also use Trick Room. Chandelure isn't very fast though, so I don't know how well that works in the field...Nonetheless, 4 of them can easily destroy Abomasnow, So He isn't coming in First, I'll start out with Weavile, since it can put quite the dent into 4 of his Pokemon as well, although it's unlikely he'll lead with most of them... But we'll see.

risenreturn sent out Weavile!
Metadraxis sent out Bubba! (Reuniclus)
Weavile is exerting its Pressure!
Seems like Weavile was a somewhat good Choice, However,Most Reuniclus do carry Focus Blast, Which didn't occur to me while making this decision,and since my team is largely Ice, I don't think I can easily switch in any pokemon short of Reuniclus and Chandelure(Maybe Tentacruel), Which my opponent may see coming and take out with a super-effective Shadow-Ball(Or Psychic in case of Tentacruel), but Shadow Ball isn't on most Chandelure, are they?I'm sure there's a better move to put in place of Shadow Ball.Nonetheless, it unfortunately means I may already have to give up one of my pokemon in the first couple turns. Nonetheless, I go for Night Slash hoping my opponent either over-predicts and uses Shadow ball, which may not take out Weavile, so I can at least damage it well enough.

Weavile used Night Slash!
The foe's Porygon2-D lost 20% of its health!
Weavile is hurt by its Life Orb!
I honestly did not expect that in the least. Considering That Reuniclus could severely damage/OHKO every pokemon on my team, It would seem that this is either some fancy Brilliant strategy, Or a non-Standard Reuniclus which doesn't Carry Focus Blast(I mean, it's possible, mine doesn't)However, since I rarely think too deeply at the beginning of a matchup, I make what I know is probably a mistake and go straight for the offensive.
Start of turn 2
Weavile used Low Kick!
It's super effective!
The foe's Porygon2-D lost 25% of its health!
Weavile is hurt by its Life Orb!
The foe's Porygon2-D used Trick Room!
The foe's Porygon2-D twisted the dimensions!
O boy, Trick Room... This could be trouble. Considering many of my pokemon rely on speed(Chandy and Weavile, for instance)I could be in serious trouble, Nothing I shouldn't be able to handle though, but considering he's nearly 200 points higher than me, he's most likely better than me also. But this is looking worse and worse for Weavile at every turn, so I had better Switch out, and since Poryggon2 can usually not do anything to Reuniclus(to the best of my recollection) So switching in Reuniclus seems like my best bet here. Nonetheless, I've already made some mistakes, so my opponent already has a pretty large advantage over me.
Start of turn 3
risenreturn called Weavile back!
risenreturn sent out Reuniclus!
The foe's Porygon2-D used Thunder!
A critical hit!
Reuniclus lost 230 HP! (54% of its health)
Reuniclus restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
Damn Crits. Reuniclus being pretty damaged by that still haves him keep tthe advantage, but also probably forces him to switch out. So I can use this to my advantage to get a free CM in. maybe giving me the ability to recover. Mainly Considering that If anyone bothered to read my team more In Depth, You'll realise that I have a very odd Moveset on mine(CM, Recover,Psyshock, HP Ground) Meaning I can also do nothing to Porygon2,short of Psyshock after several Calm minds, leading me to seriously hope he switches out To something I could have easily taken down.
Start of turn 4
Metadraxis called Porygon2-D back!
Metadraxis sent out Bubba! (Reuniclus)
Reuniclus used Calm Mind!
Reuniclus's Sp. Att. rose!
Reuniclus's Sp. Def. rose!
Reuniclus restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
Reuniclus coming in is bad for me. My reuniclus can do nothing to his except use CM, but neither can my opponent(Didn't know most carried Shadow Ball Yet, I'm new to Competitive battling...)So my best chance would be to CM again, Riiiiiiiigggghhhhhhhht?
Start of turn 5
The foe's Bubba used Shadow Ball!
It's super effective!
Reuniclus lost 206 HP! (49% of its health)
Reuniclus used Calm Mind!
Reuniclus's Sp. Att. rose!
Reuniclus's Sp. Def. rose!
Reuniclus restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
Uh oh, Shadow Ball, which I didn't know Most Reuniclus carry.(It's a learning system guys! I'll figure everything out soon enough) But Reuniclus is now damaged pretty severely, so I either have to switch out, or sacrifice him.But He's been one of my best teammates on my team since he started out, so I can't just give him up for a safe switch-in, especially considering He's slow enough to possibly outspeed others under Trick room and Do damage before he loses that last 5% of his HP. As such, My opponent is probably expecting me to sacrifice him, which means he'll shadow ball again, giving me a Safe switch-in to Tentacruel, and since Trick Room was started on Turn 2, it will end next turn, so I can not only switch in, but also set up at least one layer of Toxic Spikes! And from the looks of his team, it looks like he either has no plans to play any hazards down, or doesn't have any, meaning Tentacruel also has no reason to spin, so his only needed use is to use TS. So In comes Tentacruel!
Start of turn 6
risenreturn called Reuniclus back!
risenreturn sent out Tentacruel!
The foe's Bubba used Shadow Ball!
Tentacruel lost 110 HP! (31% of its health)
Tentacruel restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
The twisted dimensions returned to normal!
It Seems my prediction was correct, Lucky Me. And Trick Room ended, so Tentacruel is practically guaranteed to go First, and can easily put a layer of Toxic Spikes down. And since Reuniclus is almost guaranteed to either use Psychic to OHKO me, or Trick Room, To OHKO me next turn. either way, I can lay down one layer of Toxic Spikes, Which is all I need to properly Work Glaceon's magic. And Again, Tentacruel really has no more use in this matchup, aside from laying it's Toxic Spikes, Which it can definitely do.
Start of turn 7
Tentacruel used Toxic Spikes!
Poison spikes were scattered all around the feet of Metadraxis's team!
The foe's Bubba used Trick Room!
The foe's Bubba twisted the dimensions!
Tentacruel restored a little HP using its Leftovers!
I Guess my opponent wanted to guarantee Trick Room comes up, which gives Tentacruel a very, Very short timespan on his consciousness. And Since Tentacruel is, as much as I hate to say it, pretty worthless in this battle, I can sacrifice him and safely switch someone in. I'm thinking it's finally time for Abomasnow to Set up Hail, and possibly take out Reuniclus with high accuracy Blizzards.And then there's always the Chance Attract will hax him over to hell and back.
Start of turn 8
The foe's Bubba used Psychic!
It's super effective!
Tentacruel lost 282 HP! (80% of its health)
Tentacruel fainted!
risenreturn sent out Abomasnow!
Abomasnow's Snow Warning whipped up a hailstorm!
Abomasnow is able to come out damage-free, which ends up keeping his sash intact. Now, I can get some guaranteed damage in, or, I could pull out my secret weapon, and maybe get two or more free hits in! And considering My opponent also seems to have no plans in weather, I don't have to consistently bring abomasnow out, so I can unleash his weapon here and now!
Start of turn 9
The foe's Bubba used Focus Blast!
It's super effective!
Abomasnow lost 320 HP! (99% of its health)
Abomasnow hung on using its Focus Sash!
Abomasnow used Attract!
The foe's Bubba fell in love!
Hail continues to fall!
Ahhh, the wondrous under-estimation of attrract. do you think Whitney in GSC caused so many people so much trouble because of rollout? I don't think so. and besides, who wouldn't love this face?
Well, I wouldn't, but pokemon seem to have a very strange taste in women. But anyway, To those who aren't aware, Attract causes a 50% chance the opponents pokemon will be unable to attack each turn. yes,50% Chance, and in the PO world, nobody bothers to change their pokemon's genders, their always Male!(well, except in the few instances of pokemon that can only be female, like Miltank and Blissey)As such, Attract is a very useful, and very effective strategy. especially when My opponent doesn't switch out, not only because they underestimate the power of attract, they think it will be useless on a pokemon with one HP!Anyway, I feel this will give me a great oppurtunity to Get in a Blizzard or two, as in theory, I should get at least one in.So to all you doubters of the almighty attract, i ask you to watch the following!
Start of turn 10
The foe's Bubba is in love with Abomasnow!
The foe's Bubba is immobilized by love!
Abomasnow used Blizzard!
The foe's Bubba lost 47% of its health!
Hail continues to fall!
And that, my friends, is the underrated power of attract.Poor man's paralysis my ass.Nonetheless, it's only been one turn, of which I could've done without using attract the turn before, so it's really a matter of luck now. If Reuniclus is unable to attack again, then Attract did it's job, and I can possibly KO it. If Reuniclus does attack, then I just extended this battle for another turn.Nonetheless, from my Attract-using experiences, My opponent still won't switch out, because they have the chance to KO Abomasnow here, despite the 50% chance of not being able to attack.However, My opponent also knows it has a sash, so it can't switch in Rhyperior(He probably wouldn't anyway) or Crawdaunt in Fear of me expecting that and hitting with a possible OHKO-ing Energy Ball. And Chandelure is so frail it won't like a Blizzard or an energy ball, even if it resists it. But Gallade is a easily switchable pokemon, having enough bulk to not be severely damaged by blizzard or Energy Ball, and is then Able to take that final shot at abomasnow down. However, Gallade is more of a special sweeper, and if he switches to Gallade, I can switch to Chandy, which I believe should resist all of Gallade's attacks. So for my opponent, leaving Reuniclus in may very well be his best decision. So, because I don't want to overthink this, as it may cause me the match. So Blizzard is the move that should cause the most damage to Reuniclus, or whomever he switches into.

Abomasnow fainted!

The twisted dimensions returned to normal!
risenreturn sent out Chandelure!
Damn, Looks like Attract didn't work out this battle. But it is incredibly useful, I Swear!Nonetheless, Abomasnow still damaged Reuniclus enough to give Chandelure an oppurtunity to KO it, thanks to Trick Room ending Meaning I can stop the brutal onslaught of Reuniclus.And Yes, since this battle, I have been looking everywhere for a decent Reuniclus counter. I have yet to find one.But, I can KO it with shadow Ball, at least, if my opponent doesn't predict this and swith to Porygon, which will in the end, screw up my entire attempt at a sweep.
Start of turn 12
Chandelure used Shadow Ball!
It's super effective!

Metadraxis sent out Porygon2-D! (Porygon2)
The foe's Porygon2-D was poisoned!
The foe's Porygon2-D traced Chandelure's Flash Fire!
Well, He didn't Switch out, but I guess he overpredicted, expecting me to expect him to switch into Porygon, so he kept Reuniclus in, if not to Take a dive, and since most sets are Choiced(I think) He can have his Porygon Trace Flash Fire, so whether I go with Fire Blast or Shadow Ball, He perfectly walls me either way. Damn good strategy, looking back on it. And it worked fairly well. May have worked better if He just switched out Reuniclus instead of sacrificing im, but whatever, it's better for me:) Anyway, My Chandy is Choiced, so I am required to switch out, And I may as well switch into the one pokemon on my team with a Fighting Move, Weavile, while he is given a free turn to re-set up Trick room.
Start of turn 13

Hail continues to fall!
The foe's Porygon2-D is buffeted by the hail!
The foe's Porygon2-D is hurt by poison!
Looking at it now, Porygon2 is actually pretty beaten down(about 30%HP(Well, It looked like less during the actual match)) because of Poison and Hail, and I can possibly take it out before it can do any damage by using Ice Shard, Where Porygon could use Focus Blast Or Flamethrower(Have absolutely no idea what Porygon2 learns...)To OHKO him, So I might as well do as much damage as possible before maybe fainting.
Start of turn 14
Weavile used Ice Shard!
The foe's Porygon2-D lost 11% of its health!

The foe's Porygon2-D is buffeted by the hail!
The foe's Porygon2-D is hurt by poison!
Well, It seems that Porygon2 doesn't have good variety in terms of attacking moves, using Thunder there, but it did Put Weavile in critical condition(20%HP, and at Weavile's defenses, it probably couldn't survive a tackle)But Porygon2 is even worse(5%) I'm also rather sure Porygonn2 can learn recover, so I need to Go for Ice Shard again, otherwise t can either recover, then Thunder/some other attacking move and take on my next pokemon at around 50% health, or use Thunder, KOing my Weavile before it can properly attack. Nonetheless, Porygon2 has like 6HP left, so Ice shard is obviously the way to go, but still...
Start of turn 15
Weavile used Ice Shard!
The foe's Porygon2-D lost 5% of its health!
The foe's Porygon2-D fainted!
Weavile is hurt by its Life Orb!

Metadraxis sent out Candelurio! (Chandelure)
The foe's Candelurio was poisoned!
Now I'm stuck in a corner. Chandy is out, and while I might be able to OHKO with Night Slash, Trick Room is still up, and Weavile can't take a hit from Chandelure anyway.Anyway, I'm assuming Chandelure's moveset is somewhere around Flamethrower/TR/Energy Ball/Shadow Ball or something close. so I can either switch out, or sacrifice my weavile, which I don't neccesarily want to do because, like Reuniclus, I feel he will come back and do something great later in the matchup(Reuniclus hasn't panned out yet, but I'm sure he will) sO I look over my options. Only Abomasnow and Tentacruel have fainted so far, so I can switch in Glaceon, Who will easily succumb to a flamethrower, Reuniclus, who will die to whatever whatever move it comes in on, and Chandelure, who may absorb an incoming Fire attack, which can be very likely, depending on how much my opponent likes seeing "It's Super-Effective" on the screen. So, my best choice is to switch to my Chandelure and absorb the inevitable Fire attack

risenreturn sent out Glaceon!
I should have definitely seen that coming. And in my spur of noobishness, I bring in Glaceon, while Reuniclus is the infinitely better option, considering it can most likely OHKO with HP Ground.But the real point is, with my nooby move, I've put myself at a severe disadvantage by letting one of my top pokemon take a fall, which means from now on, I'm unable to absorb incoming fire/fighting moves-from anything- In the end, It doesn't really matter, I get a chance to show off Glaceon's greatness, albeit earlier than I wanted to. I also run a very different Glaceon from the standard(at least the gen 4 standard) as it is more of a Stallrein kinda thing, except it's glaceon because I love Glaceon and Hate Walrein with a fire stronger than the Sun.(Seriously, It is one of my most hated pokemon ever)Nonetheless, after bringing her in, I realised my mistake, but now cannot switch Reuniclus back in. So I need to use her to stall out Trick room in order to switch in reuniclus on The Turn Chandy will use trick room. Feel free to read ahead the next 3 or so turns as I sow off Glaceon''s stalling greatness.

My mistake, it turns out it was on it's last trick room turn. Thank god because I don't think Glaceon would have enough HP left over to make a substitute after a flamethrower, if it was even alive. Anyway, I hope thanks to Protect, My opponent can set up trick room while he assumes I sub, so I can safely switch to Reuniclus, outspeed him under Trick room, and KO him with HP Ground. But, he could see This coming, and KO me with Shadow Ball, leaving me with Glaceon and Weavile, both seriously weak to fire moves, and leading to my defeat. Sometimes though, You know you've just gotta go with your gut on things like this.

The foe's Candelurio is hurt by poison!
YES! My prediction was correct. This essentially guarantees that his Chandelure goes down, unless Chandelure can learn a priority move of some kind, which I don't think he can. He could always switch, but He knows I have CM, which means I probably have recover, meaning I could Recover, then back at 60-70% HP, I could severely damage whatever He switches in. SO, For him, I really Don't believe switching is the best option. So, He can try to out-predict me by going with shadow ball while I recover, which could very well KO me.However, I can predict he will expect I will predict he will switch, so he'll stay in, and I can KO with HP Ground. But, then again, he could predict that I'm predicting that he'll overpredict, costing him Chandelure, so he could switch to some that would reduce the move I would most likely use(Shadow Ball, according to him, he doesn't know I have HP Ground) so he could switch to something that resists it and then KO reuniclus. However thinking so deeply into this started to give me a headache about 1/2way through, so I went with the simple approach, and HP Grounded him.

Yay for Overprediction! my opponent must have expected a recover/CM and would have followed up with a Shadow Ball. I'm not sure if that was his thought, but if it were me, I would have tried to Save Chandy, as it could OHKO two of my team. the last two of my team no less. doesn't matter, It's good for me nonetheless.And since CrawDaunt is still most likely faster than Reuniclus, I can safely Recover and possibly endure a hit, and stall out trick room with recover

Yeah, I didn't know Crawdaunt had a base 120 Attack before this, so I noobed out yet again by keeping Reuniclus in. I knew Crawdaunt had a reason to be there. I just always thought Crawdaunt was just average across the board, not incredibly powerful like that. And this is where My opponents advantage increases.While quickly looking online, I realise Crawdaunt can learn both Brick Break and Superpower, and with Trick room still up for another turn or two, I need to stall it out. and that unfortunately means......
*Cue sad music*
I have a sacrifice Weavile.
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
A very sad day, but from this, I can not only do slight damage with Ice Shard, so Glaceon can stall for slightly less time, but also cause another turn of trick room to go down the toilet.So Weavile will do his Team well inreturn for not being sacrificed earlier. see, I knew he would have a use later too!

If you would like to know why Glaceon would Fail in Trick room, it is because of Crawdaunt having superpower, actually. If you haven't seen a Stallrein/stalleon/Stallstoise(been experimenting with a rain Dish-Leftover Blastoise as well) you will know that they mainly spam Protect and Substitute to avoid damage until the opponent dies from Hail/whatever status is inflicted on them at the present time(Poison or Burn)In Trick Room, Crawdaunt would outspeed Glaceon, and possibly OHKO with a superpower. And if You didn't know, I'm running out of things to write, as I just explained how a stallrein/eon/stoise works. don't fear, as the next several turns are Glaceon stalling the pokemon to death, you really don't have to read them, you can just go to the last turn if you'd like.
