magic9mushroom's Light Brigade:
Redemption's team:
Battle between Redemption and magic9mushroom started!
Tier: RBY OU
Mode: Singles
Rule: Rated
Rule: Sleep Clause
Rule: Freeze Clause
Rule: Species Clause
Variation: +25, -7
Redemption sent out Starmie!
magic9mushroom sent out Exeggutor!
Start of turn 1
magic9mushroom called Exeggutor back!
magic9mushroom sent out Chansey!
The foe's Starmie used Blizzard!
Chansey lost 97 HP! (13% of its health)
----------
If he's leading with Starmie, it has Blizzard. No point taking a hit from that. I'm trying to hide my Amnesialax, and since basically every team has Chansey, I give away less by switching to it than to Zam. Now, Starmie is going to switch out, so I use Ice Beam in hopes of freezing something relevant.
----------
Start of turn 2
Redemption called Starmie back!
Redemption sent out Snorlax!
Chansey used Ice Beam!
The foe's Snorlax lost 18% of its health!
----------
Lax. I feel this is worth sleeping, so I switch my Egg back in.
----------
Start of turn 3
magic9mushroom called Chansey back!
magic9mushroom sent out Exeggutor!
The foe's Snorlax used Body Slam!
Exeggutor lost 120 HP! (30% of its health)
Exeggutor is paralyzed! It may be unable to move!
Start of turn 4
The foe's Snorlax used Body Slam!
Exeggutor lost 121 HP! (30% of its health)
Exeggutor used Sleep Powder!
The foe's Snorlax fell asleep!
----------
Snorlax is asleep, but my Egg is paralysed and on low health. Time to use Rest!
----------
Start of turn 5
Redemption called Snorlax back!
Redemption sent out Starmie!
Exeggutor used Rest!
Exeggutor went to sleep and became healthy!
----------
I use Rest and Double-Edge on my Egg so that it can wake up against Zam and possibly force it out. Of course, Redemption didn't have Zam, so Egg stayed asleep for the whole battle.
----------
Start of turn 6
Redemption called Starmie back!
Redemption sent out Chansey!
magic9mushroom called Exeggutor back!
magic9mushroom sent out Alakazam!
----------
If I'd predicted that switch, I could have gotten Egg one turn closer to waking up, but leaving a sleeping Egg in on a Blizzard Starmie would be way too risky. I was scared of bringing in Chansey again lest he switch to a physical, so I bring out Alakazam. Now, I'm probably not going to kill Chansey with my Zam, but I'll certainly paralyse it - I'll be able to use its paralysis to my advantage later.
----------
Start of turn 7
Alakazam used Thunder Wave!
The foe's Chansey is paralyzed! It may be unable to move!
The foe's Chansey used Ice Beam!
Alakazam lost 58 HP! (18% of its health)
Start of turn 8
Alakazam used Psychic!
The foe's Chansey lost 19% of its health!
The foe's Chansey's Special fell!
The foe's Chansey used Ice Beam!
Alakazam lost 43 HP! (13% of its health)
----------
I'm playing with fire here by risking a freeze, but I don't have an Ice-type to switch in. I get the Special-down, and thus pressure him to switch. I thought he'd stay in a bit longer, so I throw another Psychic...
----------
Start of turn 9
Redemption called Chansey back!
Redemption sent out Exeggutor!
Alakazam used Psychic!
It's not very effective...
The foe's Exeggutor lost 12% of its health!
----------
And he brings out his own Egg. I'm expecting sleep, here, so I Thunder Wave to annoy it before attacking with Psychic...
----------
Start of turn 10
Alakazam used Thunder Wave!
The foe's Exeggutor is paralyzed! It may be unable to move!
The foe's Exeggutor is paralyzed! It can't move!
Start of turn 11
Alakazam used Recover!
Alakazam regained health!
The foe's Exeggutor used Stun Spore!
The attack of the foe's Exeggutor missed!
Start of turn 12
Alakazam used Psychic!
It's not very effective...
The foe's Exeggutor lost 12% of its health!
The foe's Exeggutor used Stun Spore!
The attack of the foe's Exeggutor missed!
Start of turn 13
Alakazam used Psychic!
It's not very effective...
The foe's Exeggutor lost 14% of its health!
The foe's Exeggutor used Explosion!
Alakazam lost 313 HP! (100% of its health)
Alakazam fainted!
The foe's Exeggutor fainted!
Redemption sent out Starmie!
magic9mushroom sent out Exeggutor!
----------
...And he blows it up. I only started playing online yesterday, so I forgot that standard Egg carries Explosion.
If you're wondering why he didn't sleep my Zam, he said later that he was expecting me to switch out.
I sent out Egg trying to get it to wake, but his Starmie makes that impossible. I switch to Chansey...
----------
Start of turn 14
magic9mushroom called Exeggutor back!
magic9mushroom sent out Chansey!
The foe's Starmie used Thunder Wave!
Chansey is paralyzed! It may be unable to move!
Start of turn 15
Redemption called Starmie back!
Redemption sent out Chansey!
Chansey used Thunder Wave!
The foe's Chansey is already paralyzed.
Start of turn 16
Redemption called Chansey back!
Redemption sent out Tauros!
Chansey is paralyzed! It can't move!
----------
...and he switches in Tauros after checking for Thunder Wave with Chansey. I think I used Thunderbolt there. Now, I want to lure it into Hyper Beaming so that I can switch Rhydon in, so I throw an Ice Beam.
----------
Start of turn 17
The foe's Tauros used Body Slam!
Chansey lost 286 HP! (40% of its health)
Chansey used Ice Beam!
The foe's Tauros lost 27% of its health!
Start of turn 18
magic9mushroom called Chansey back!
magic9mushroom sent out Rhydon!
The foe's Tauros used Body Slam!
A critical hit!
It's not very effective...
Rhydon lost 91 HP! (22% of its health)
----------
Didn't work. I forgot, here, that standard Tauros has Blizzard, and left Rhydon in.
----------
Start of turn 19
The foe's Tauros used Blizzard!
It's super effective!
Rhydon lost 236 HP! (57% of its health)
Rhydon used Earthquake!
The foe's Tauros lost 42% of its health!
----------
Knowing he won't use Body Slam or Hyper Beam against Rhydon, I bring Starmie in - I should have done that the previous turn.
----------
Start of turn 20
magic9mushroom called Rhydon back!
magic9mushroom sent out Starmie!
The foe's Tauros used Earthquake!
Starmie lost 93 HP! (28% of its health)
Start of turn 21
Redemption called Tauros back!
Redemption sent out Chansey!
Starmie used Surf!
The foe's Chansey lost 16% of its health!
----------
I thought he'd leave Tauros in and try to kill Starmie, but 'twas not to be. I figure he's probably going to Tbolt or Twave Chansey, so it's go-go Rhydon!
----------
Start of turn 22
magic9mushroom called Starmie back!
magic9mushroom sent out Rhydon!
The foe's Chansey used Thunder Wave!
But it failed!
Start of turn 23
Redemption called Chansey back!
Redemption sent out Starmie!
Rhydon used Earthquake!
The foe's Starmie lost 50% of its health!
----------
You gotta love Rhydon's Earthquake. I figure this is a good chance to Softboil Chansey back to full health.
----------
Start of turn 24
magic9mushroom called Rhydon back!
magic9mushroom sent out Chansey!
The foe's Starmie used Psychic!
Chansey lost 101 HP! (14% of its health)
Start of turn 25
The foe's Starmie used Blizzard!
Chansey avoided the attack!
Chansey used Softboiled!
Chansey regained health!
Start of turn 26
Redemption called Starmie back!
Redemption sent out Tauros!
Chansey is paralyzed! It can't move!
----------
He brings out Tauros, and expecting Hyper Beam I switch to Rhydon again.
----------
Start of turn 27
magic9mushroom called Chansey back!
magic9mushroom sent out Rhydon!
The foe's Tauros used Body Slam!
A critical hit!
It's not very effective...
Rhydon lost 81 HP! (19% of its health)
Start of turn 28
The foe's Tauros used Body Slam!
It's not very effective...
Rhydon lost 5 HP! (1% of its health)
Rhydon fainted!
magic9mushroom sent out Starmie!
----------
Well, now I'm in serious doo-doo. Without Rhydon, I don't have any safe switch-ins to a Tauros Hyper Beam. I send out Starmie hoping to do something to that thrice-damned bull...
----------
Start of turn 29
Redemption called Tauros back!
Redemption sent out Chansey!
Starmie used Surf!
The foe's Chansey lost 15% of its health!
Start of turn 30
magic9mushroom called Starmie back!
magic9mushroom sent out Chansey!
Redemption called Chansey back!
Redemption sent out Tauros!
----------
Aaand he predicts me and gets it in yet again.
----------
Start of turn 31
magic9mushroom called Chansey back!
magic9mushroom sent out Exeggutor!
The foe's Tauros used Body Slam!
Exeggutor lost 109 HP! (27% of its health)
Start of turn 32
The foe's Tauros used Body Slam!
Exeggutor lost 107 HP! (27% of its health)
Exeggutor is fast asleep.
Start of turn 33
magic9mushroom called Exeggutor back!
magic9mushroom sent out Snorlax!
The foe's Tauros used Body Slam!
A critical hit!
Snorlax lost 240 HP! (45% of its health)
Snorlax is paralyzed! It may be unable to move!
----------
I forgot that Egg still had two turns of sleep left. This was just a mistake. I go to Snorlax as my last hope against the rampaging bull, and get critparaslammed. Good thing I have Rest.
----------
Start of turn 34
The foe's Tauros used Hyper Beam!
Snorlax lost 216 HP! (41% of its health)
Snorlax used Rest!
Snorlax went to sleep and became healthy!
----------
Now Tauros can't do anything for a turn. I'll get walled by Chansey or Starmie and potentially frozen if I try to set up my Amnesialax, so I go back to Starmie.
----------
Start of turn 35
magic9mushroom called Snorlax back!
magic9mushroom sent out Starmie!
The foe's Tauros must recharge!
Start of turn 36
Redemption called Tauros back!
Redemption sent out Chansey!
Starmie used Surf!
A critical hit!
The foe's Chansey lost 30% of its health!
----------
Oh hey, a crit. Maybe I can kill Chansey!
----------
Start of turn 37
Starmie used Surf!
The foe's Chansey lost 16% of its health!
The foe's Chansey is paralyzed! It can't move!
Start of turn 38
Starmie used Blizzard!
The foe's Chansey avoided the attack!
The foe's Chansey used Softboiled!
The foe's Chansey regained health!
----------
Well, that was pretty dumb of me. I don't want to risk him switching in Tauros on my Chansey again, so I go to Lax to try and get off a rest turn.
----------
Start of turn 39
magic9mushroom called Starmie back!
magic9mushroom sent out Snorlax!
The foe's Chansey used Softboiled!
The foe's Chansey regained health!
magic9mushroom: Good game so far.
Redemption: yeah
Redemption: alot of pressure plays
Start of turn 40
Redemption called Chansey back!
Redemption sent out Tauros!
Snorlax is fast asleep.
Start of turn 41
The foe's Tauros used Body Slam!
A critical hit!
Snorlax lost 272 HP! (52% of its health)
Snorlax woke up!
----------
Tauros comes in, and gets me down to roughly the same health level I was at before. I could try Resting again, but that won't get me anywhere. So, I set up Reflect before Resting this time.
----------
Start of turn 42
The foe's Tauros used Body Slam!
Snorlax lost 133 HP! (25% of its health)
Snorlax used Reflect!
Reflect raised magic9mushroom's team defense!
Start of turn 43
The foe's Tauros used Hyper Beam!
Snorlax lost 111 HP! (21% of its health)
Snorlax used Rest!
magic9mushroom: Phew.
Snorlax went to sleep and became healthy!
Redemption: hp left?
magic9mushroom: That was close.
magic9mushroom: 7 or something.
Start of turn 44
The foe's Tauros must recharge!
Snorlax is fast asleep.
Redemption: wow
Redemption: nice
Start of turn 45
The foe's Tauros used Body Slam!
Snorlax lost 64 HP! (12% of its health)
Snorlax woke up!
----------
Finally, a chance to get a hit in on that thing! Using Amnesia would give the game away, so I just use Surf...
----------
Start of turn 46
Redemption called Tauros back!
Redemption sent out Snorlax!
Snorlax used Surf!
The foe's Snorlax lost 14% of its health!
----------
...Oh. Well, I have Reflect up, so at least I'll be able to force it out if I set up. His Chansey's paralysed, so I've got a shot at removing that when it inevitably comes in. Worth a try.
---------
Start of turn 47
Snorlax used Amnesia!
Snorlax's Special sharply rose!
The foe's Snorlax is fast asleep.
Redemption: oh
Redemption: fuck
Start of turn 48
Snorlax used Amnesia!
Snorlax's Special sharply rose!
The foe's Snorlax is fast asleep.

Start of turn 54
Snorlax used Surf!
The foe's Chansey lost 21% of its health!
The foe's Chansey fainted!
magic9mushroom: Phew.
Redemption sent out Starmie!
magic9mushroom: owait :P
----------
And I use a full-para to kill Chansey as planned. However, a fresh Starmie is yet another total wall, and so I'm forced to switch out my Tanklax. I can at least make Starmie Recover for a safe switch, so I do.
----------
Start of turn 55
The foe's Starmie used Recover!
The foe's Starmie regained health!
Snorlax used Surf!
A critical hit!
It's not very effective...
The foe's Starmie lost 15% of its health!
Redemption: I'm not finsihed

Start of turn 58
magic9mushroom called Snorlax back!
magic9mushroom sent out Starmie!
The foe's Starmie used Recover!
The foe's Starmie regained health!
----------
I need his Starmie paralysed to win, and Chansey would allow a switch-in from a sleeper. So, I use my own, trade para, and try to make it blink first.
----------
Start of turn 59
Starmie used Thunder Wave!
The foe's Starmie is paralyzed! It may be unable to move!
The foe's Starmie used Thunder Wave!

Starmie used Surf!
The foe's Snorlax lost 28% of its health!
----------
He brings in Lax and gets it to wake. I try Thunder Waving...
----------
Harmmghrr is watching the battle.
Harmmghrr stopped watching the battle.
Start of turn 62
Redemption called Snorlax back!
Redemption sent out Starmie!
Starmie used Thunder Wave!
The foe's Starmie is already paralyzed.
----------
...But it seems that was too obvious. Back to trying to win the Starmie duel so I can get Lax back in.
----------
Start of turn 63
The foe's Starmie is paralyzed! It can't move!

Start of turn 66
Redemption called Starmie back!
Redemption sent out Snorlax!
Chansey used Thunderbolt!
The foe's Snorlax lost 20% of its health!
----------
I was an idiot here, letting him get Lax in like that. Should have brought in my own Lax. So, since I don't really have a lot of choice, I go back to Lax...
----------
Start of turn 67
magic9mushroom called Chansey back!
magic9mushroom sent out Snorlax!

Snorlax fainted!
The foe's Snorlax fainted!
Redemption sent out Tauros!
magic9mushroom sent out Chansey!
----------
And he blows up my Lax with his own, leaving me with nothing that can stand up to Tauros. I used Chansey hoping to para Tauros and kill it with Starmie, but...
----------
Start of turn 71
The foe's Tauros used Hyper Beam!
A critical hit!
Redemption: gg
Chansey lost 570 HP! (81% of its health)
Chansey fainted!
magic9mushroom sent out Starmie!
Redemption: This
Redemption: was one for the ages
magic9mushroom: Might post a warstory.
Start of turn 72
The foe's Tauros used Hyper Beam!
Starmie lost 176 HP! (54% of its health)
Starmie fainted!
magic9mushroom sent out Exeggutor!
Redemption: what forum?
magic9mushroom: I'm only registered on Smogon and PO.
Redemption: I'd be interested in that
Redemption: I like war stories
Redemption: lol
Start of turn 73
The foe's Tauros used Hyper Beam!
Exeggutor lost 177 HP! (45% of its health)
Exeggutor fainted!
Redemption won the battle!
----------
Tauros came through with a crit Hyper Beam and swept me with ease.
Redemption wins 3-0 with live Tauros, Starmie, and a totally unseen Persian.
Props:
Redemption, for beating me
Redemption's Explosions, for breaking the back of my team.
My Snorlax, for taking out Chansey with Surf.
Starmie ditto being decided by Psychic special-down.
Slops:
Me, for using Blizzard on Chansey when Surf would have been a sure kill, and for failing to predict Explosion and SD.
My Exeggutor, which slept through the whole battle after using Rest.
Lessons learned:
Blizzard/Psychic is scarier on Starmie than Blizzard/Surf.
You don't need to ever use a sleep move to win.
My team struggles to beat Tauros unless I can trap it into Hyper Beaming Rhydon.
So, feel free to tell me how much of an epic n00b I am for not using Tauros, and how any one of you could crush me 6-0. Any advice on how to improve my team and play would also be nice.

Redemption sent out Chansey!
Starmie used Surf!
The foe's Chansey lost 16% of its health!
----------
I thought he'd leave Tauros in and try to kill Starmie, but 'twas not to be. I figure he's probably going to Tbolt or Twave Chansey, so it's go-go Rhydon!
----------
Start of turn 22

You gotta love Rhydon's Earthquake. I figure this is a good chance to Softboil Chansey back to full health.

Start of turn 26
Redemption called Starmie back!
Redemption sent out Tauros!
Chansey is paralyzed! It can't move!
----------
He brings out Tauros, and expecting Hyper Beam I switch to Rhydon again.
----------
Start of turn 27

magic9mushroom sent out Rhydon!
The foe's Tauros used Body Slam!
A critical hit!
It's not very effective...

Start of turn 28
The foe's Tauros used Body Slam!
It's not very effective...
Rhydon lost 5 HP! (1% of its health)
Rhydon fainted!
magic9mushroom sent out Starmie!
----------
Well, now I'm in serious doo-doo. Without Rhydon, I don't have any safe switch-ins to a Tauros Hyper Beam. I send out Starmie hoping to do something to that thrice-damned bull...
----------

A critical hit!
Snorlax lost 240 HP! (45% of its health)
Snorlax is paralyzed! It may be unable to move!
----------
I forgot that Egg still had two turns of sleep left. This was just a mistake. I go to Snorlax as my last hope against the rampaging bull, and get critparaslammed. Good thing I have Rest.
----------
Start of turn 34
The foe's Tauros used Hyper Beam!
Snorlax lost 216 HP! (41% of its health)
Snorlax used Rest!
Snorlax went to sleep and became healthy!
----------
Now Tauros can't do anything for a turn. I'll get walled by Chansey or Starmie and potentially frozen if I try to set up my Amnesialax, so I go back to Starmie.
----------

A critical hit!
Snorlax lost 272 HP! (52% of its health)
Snorlax woke up!
----------
Tauros comes in, and gets me down to roughly the same health level I was at before. I could try Resting again, but that won't get me anywhere. So, I set up Reflect before Resting this time.
----------

Finally, a chance to get a hit in on that thing! Using Amnesia would give the game away, so I just use Surf...

Redemption sent out Snorlax!
Snorlax used Surf!
The foe's Snorlax lost 14% of its health!
----------
...Oh. Well, I have Reflect up, so at least I'll be able to force it out if I set up. His Chansey's paralysed, so I've got a shot at removing that when it inevitably comes in. Worth a try.
---------

magic9mushroom: Phew.
Redemption sent out Starmie!
magic9mushroom: owait :P
----------
And I use a full-para to kill Chansey as planned. However, a fresh Starmie is yet another total wall, and so I'm forced to switch out my Tanklax. I can at least make Starmie Recover for a safe switch, so I do.
----------

I need his Starmie paralysed to win, and Chansey would allow a switch-in from a sleeper. So, I use my own, trade para, and try to make it blink first.

Exeggutor lost 177 HP! (45% of its health)
Exeggutor fainted!
Redemption won the battle!
----------
Tauros came through with a crit Hyper Beam and swept me with ease.
Redemption wins 3-0 with live Tauros, Starmie, and a totally unseen Persian.
Props:
Redemption, for beating me
Redemption's Explosions, for breaking the back of my team.
My Snorlax, for taking out Chansey with Surf.
Starmie ditto being decided by Psychic special-down.
Slops:
Me, for using Blizzard on Chansey when Surf would have been a sure kill, and for failing to predict Explosion and SD.
My Exeggutor, which slept through the whole battle after using Rest.
Lessons learned:
Blizzard/Psychic is scarier on Starmie than Blizzard/Surf.
You don't need to ever use a sleep move to win.
My team struggles to beat Tauros unless I can trap it into Hyper Beaming Rhydon.
So, feel free to tell me how much of an epic n00b I am for not using Tauros, and how any one of you could crush me 6-0. Any advice on how to improve my team and play would also be nice.
