Once I got into the game I was actually relatively surprised as in my mind I expected a more stall / balanced build instead of a Hazard Stacking team built around Crustle. The match went pretty well, with quite a few berries coming into play. It was only when he switched in his Sawk and revealed Mold Breaker did I realize that all of my Fighting Checks were beaten by Mold Breaker Earthquake and I had nothing to really counter play it. Luckily it was Scarf Jolly, so I just had to pick the right sacks and get medium - low rolls on Steelix, which ended up happening and getting me my first SPL win.

Once I got into the battle I realized that he had an almost counter team to most of my teams in Sun. Due to my prefrence of offense, most of my teams ended up weaker to weather such as sun / rain that can just outpace it and hit the team hard. The Battle ended up being very offensive with both of us making plays in order to keep the lead. I ended up playing more safely as if I messed up even for 1 turn one of his sun sweepers could easily sweep me. The game ended up coming down to him going to Victreebel > Exeggutor due to a MisCalc and Chesto Berry Mantine being able to defog on it. From there the game was pretty much mine, as Vivillon was able to beat the rest of his mons.

So into the game, Turn 1 did not go how I planned at all since Counter Jynx is so uncommon I didn't even think of considering it when switch into Lanturn. My original plan going into the games was pivoting around his team and trying to get Specs Sceptile / Pyroar / Lanturn in as much as possible as they all put large amounts of pressure on his team. I also realized that his DD Rhydon seemed very scary as my "check" to it was Skuntank which can only prevent it from setting up. Turn 1 I lost Lanturn which put huge amounts of pressure on his team due to it being offensive. Basically from there the game turned into a huge VoltTurn war in a sense with both of us using our Scythers to pivot around each other. I think one of the bigger plays was me bluffing Scarf Scyther early game in order to put more pressure on him and to make him think I wasn't SD which I could see maybe coming into play later. Turn 8 was also huge as he attempted to RP up on my Skuntank only to be hit with Hidden Power Grass, and the next turn HP Grass Manages to kill him due to Earthquake not being able to beat Shuca Skunk. Turn 13 was when I revealed I was not Scarf Scyther and managed to take down his CM Xatu freeing up the game for the combo of Pyroar / Sceptile to clean up.
