[] Gym Battlers Open 2: This Time, It's Woopersonal

I'll join in on this. Chaotic can have mystery number 11.

EDIT: Oh yeah, here's my friend code for convenience's sake. 3737-6076-6955

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Since all of the hip and trendy people are revealing their types, I might as well too.

My type is GHOST. I actually had a tough time choosing which Pokemon to use, but they should prove to be quite fun. It's a shame Platinum hasn't come out yet here. Many of my Pokemon could benefit from some of the tutors in that game.

Incidentally, is there anybody with a GameShark or a near limitless supply of TMs? I could use a select few, and I REALLY don't want to spend hours upon hours in the Fight Area earning Battle Points. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Most amazing jew boots

My team is ready to go. I don't have the full nine, but six should be enough anyway. Obviously, I won't be available 24/7, but I can certainly find a time slot for battling if PM'ed. I'm usually available in the late afternoon on weekdays (around 4 to 5 PM MST). Weekends are a bit more sporadic since my plans can change very quickly.

Also, hell yeah Rotom.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh hey, results!

GB vs. Identity Crisis:

Round One (6v6)
The both of us started out with our tanks, but his got the jump on mine in the damage war. His tank took down a couple of my Pokemon with a move I should've seen coming a mile away. I eventually tried to outtank him again before he switched into a sweeper. I also tried switching into a sweeper, but his freakishly fast and pumped sweeper wasn't going down easily due to a type advantage.

Unfortunately, a disconnect prevented us from progressing any further. I gave GB the game anyway since my remaining options wouldn't be able to stop his pumped sweeper (at least not without some EXTREMELY good luck on my end).

Round Two (3v3)
Definitely the closest game of the three, but that's not really saying much. He started of with a bad lead and immediately switched into what I believe is one of his most powerful Pokemon. However, the switch cost him a large chunk of HP and a status effect. He switched out into a damage sponge, and I was subsequently forced to switch. With my guys naturally weak to his, I was unable to win the war of attrition.

Round Three (3v3)
This was soooooo bad for me. Saying that this was a catastrophe for me would be an understatement.

I lost 0-3

Identity Crisis vs. Chaotic: Ghost vs. Fighting

lol bandwagon

Round One (6v6):
The first portion of this match started off humorously. Both of us lead with a Pokemon that did absolutely nothing to the competition. I guess I wound up powering down his Pokemon slightly, but we would be stuck in a stalemate of doing completely nothing. We switched out and started with the bloodshed like nothing happened.

Despite Chaotic's disadvantage of not benefitting from STAB all that often, this game was rather close. We kept trading blows and exchanging Pokemon until Nikka came along and provided custodial duties cleaning up what was left of Chaotic's team. I finished Chaotic's last two Pokemon off with a special sweep followed by a special side order of "the force."

I win!
Pokemon I lost: 4
Pokemon Chaotic lost: 6

Round Two (3v3): I don't remember too much of this one. I used "the force" again on his last Pokemon though!

I win!
Pokemon I lost: 2
Pokemon Chaotic lost: 3

Round Three (3v3): Oh good gravy. This match would be the reason why I couldn't remember too many details on the last one. It took forever.

Anyway, Chaotic started off with a Pokemon that pretty much couldn't kill mine except in a slow, slow, slow fashion. To top it off, one of mine was immune to a portion of his tactics, so it would take even longer to take down. Eventually, it takes down one of mine, and I switch and finish it off. By that time, most of mine were somewhat injured, and Chaotic's cleanup crew finished me off.

Chaotic wins!
Pokemon I lost: 3
Pokemon Chaotic lost: 2

Round Four (3v3):
This one was REALLY close. Both of us started off with strong leads, but his got the jump on mine in terms of speed. Sure, mine went down first, but Chaotic's lead would be too injured to take another hit from my next.

Chaotic countered my choice with a Pokemon knowing a severely damaging move, but I was able to predict what the move was and avoided some nasty damage. We switched back and forth until settling on two Pokemon to fight to the death and, again, inadvertently fainting each other.

Our final Pokemon would determine the winner of the game. Mine would absorb the damage from Chaotic's attack and retaliate for OHKO damage.

I win!

Awesome games though. I have to admit that my games have been enjoyable so far.

How ya doing, buddy?

Identity Crisis vs. Black Mage: Ghost vs. Grass

Ha ha, alliteration.

Round One (6v6):
To start off the match, he lead off with a tank while I used my specialist. However, I was pretty certain his tank could takes hits from my specialist all day long, so I wound up pulling a trick out of my sleeve to render his tank incapacitated and forced a switch. He used, well, another tank, so my Pokemon tried to make as much of a dent as possible before going down in a slow blaze of glory. I switched into another specialist of mine and finished off his second tank.

We kept trading hits until he brought out a Pokemon that could take ghostly attacks all day long. He kept powering up for some pretty nasty attacks, but I knew what was coming if I tried to brute force my way through. It still wasn't enough since Black Mage saw what I was doing and used a not as effective but still quite lethal alpha strike to take down the remainder of my team.

Black Mage wins!

Round Two (3v3):
Oh, God. Now I know how Tritoch felt when I used Apocalpyse against him in an earlier tourney. My Nikka was rendered useless while his Pokemon kept striking.

Also, burning lawn mowers doesn't render them completely incapacitated apparently, especially when they can take down my poor fragile little ghosts before they can strike back.

Black Mage wins!
Pokemon I lost: 3
Pokemon Black Mage lost: 0

Round Three (3v3):
Blargh. I wish I knew more details about this game. All I can remember is that I made a timely switch once my tank's mojo ran out. I think "the force" might've been involved too. I tend to forget about games when that's used, oddly enough. Oh well. We agreed that this was the match record though.

I win!
Pokemon I lost: 1
Pokemon Black Mage lost: 3

Round Four (3v3):
I get the distinct feeling that I won this purely from Black Mage's mistake. He had no idea what Salvador was capable of, and Black Mage's Tentacruel (yes, that's what it was called) wasted three turns trying to incapacitate him. During that time Salvador made a severe dent in his HP as well as immolated him and slapped him silly.

Black Mage brought out the bane of my team once again, and Salvador went down fighting. It was then that I brought out Nikka for "the force" and took down his threat.

Our final Pokemon, my tank and his lawn mower, stood off and exchanged blows. His, however, wasn't quite as capable of taking hits as much as mine was since mine would hit for super effective damage.

I win!
Pokemon I lost: 2
Pokemon Black Mage lost: 3

Round Five (3v3):
Wow. This was an intense final round.

I started off with my fast sweeper to ensure that I'd get some fast hits in while he lead with another tank with an awesome name (abstained to say since it might reveal what it actually is). Anyway, he expected me to use "the force" again, but I expected him to expect that, so I just went in with regular old brute force. His tank was barely alive by the time he finished my Pokemon off, but his Pokemon was right where I wanted it.

I switched into my tank and set up Black Mage against some strange mojo. He tried poisoning my tank, but I had some herbal medicine to take care of it. Next, he sent out the bane of my team once more and knocked my tank down to 2 HP before succumbing to a lucky critical hit from my tank.

His lawn mower would stand off against my tank once more, but thanks to my setup, I had the upper hand. His lawn mower was critically injured, and Salvador finished it off before it had the chance to strike.

I win!

Wow. Those were intense games, admittedly. Luck was really on my side when it counted, and I barely squeezed out of that with a victory. My match win record might make it above 50% at this rate.

How ya doing, buddy?
