Begin battle: Drunk vs. Talen ! ---------------------------------- Drunk sent out Slasher (SCIZOR M L100)! Talen sent out Quesera (JUMPLUFF M L100)! ---------------------------------- I could, by and large, see a Baton Pass coming. However, that wouldn't really change my normal strategy for openers - sleep the bastard before running like a woman. ---------------------------------- Talen's JUMPLUFF used SLEEP POWDER! Drunk's SCIZOR went to sleep! Drunk's SCIZOR is fast asleep! Drunk's SCIZOR is at 100% health. Talen's JUMPLUFF is at 100% health. ---------------------------------- Just like that. ---------------------------------- Talen's JUMPLUFF used LEECH SEED! Drunk's SCIZOR was seeded! Drunk's SCIZOR is fast asleep! LEECH SEED saps Drunk's SCIZOR! Drunk's SCIZOR is at 88% health. Talen's JUMPLUFF is at 100% health. ---------------------------------- This surprised me. I have a habit of leech seeding immediately after sleeping since it generally lets me get the dude who trades in, and then I can try stun sporing them - which doesn't fall apart if they DON'T trade out. But he left him in. Which did manage to scupper my leech seed trick. Oh well. ---------------------------------- Talen withdrew JUMPLUFF! Talen sent out Incideus (HOUNDOOM M L100)! Drunk withdrew SCIZOR! Drunk sent out Doomsy (HOUNDOOM M L100)! Drunk's HOUNDOOM is at 100% health. Talen's HOUNDOOM is at 100% health. ---------------------------------- Oops. :/ ---------------------------------- Drunk withdrew HOUNDOOM! Drunk sent out Shelly (BLASTOISE M L100)! Talen withdrew HOUNDOOM! Talen sent out Big_Woop (QUAGSIRE M L100)! Drunk's BLASTOISE is at 100% health. Talen's QUAGSIRE is at 100% health. ---------------------------------- Double oops. :/ ---------------------------------- Talen withdrew QUAGSIRE! Talen sent out Quesera (JUMPLUFF M L100)! Drunk's BLASTOISE used EARTHQUAKE! It doesn't affect Talen's JUMPLUFF! Drunk's BLASTOISE is at 100% health. Talen's JUMPLUFF is at 100% health. ---------------------------------- Triple Oops. ---------------------------------- Talen's JUMPLUFF used STUN SPORE! Drunk's BLASTOISE's paralyzed! Maybe it can't attack! Drunk's BLASTOISE used ICE BEAM! But it missed! Drunk's BLASTOISE is at 100% health. Talen's JUMPLUFF is at 100% health. ---------------------------------- This is what convinced me that GSbot is not too happy about probability - especially after watching Gonk get smacked down 6-0 by a prole team. ---------------------------------- Talen withdrew JUMPLUFF! Talen sent out Big_Woop (QUAGSIRE M L100)! Drunk's BLASTOISE is fully paralyzed. Drunk's BLASTOISE is at 100% health. Talen's QUAGSIRE is at 100% health. ---------------------------------- Talen's QUAGSIRE used AMNESIA! Talen's QUAGSIRE's SPCL. DEF went way up! Drunk's BLASTOISE used EARTHQUAKE! Talen's QUAGSIRE recovered with LEFTOVERS. Drunk's BLASTOISE is at 100% health. Talen's QUAGSIRE is at 85% health. ---------------------------------- Talen's QUAGSIRE used CURSE! Talen's QUAGSIRE's SPEED fell! Talen's QUAGSIRE's ATTACK went up! Talen's QUAGSIRE's DEFENSE went up! Drunk's BLASTOISE used EARTHQUAKE! Talen's QUAGSIRE recovered with LEFTOVERS. Drunk's BLASTOISE is at 100% health. Talen's QUAGSIRE is at 77% health. ---------------------------------- Talen's QUAGSIRE used ANCIENTPOWER! Drunk's BLASTOISE is fully paralyzed. Drunk's BLASTOISE recovered with LEFTOVERS. Talen's QUAGSIRE recovered with LEFTOVERS. Drunk's BLASTOISE is at 88% health. Talen's QUAGSIRE is at 83% health. ---------------------------------- I was kinda clutching at straws here. I simply didn't think of using Mjolnr, which is just as well, really, since that would have induced a switch and we'd be on that fucking merry-go-round again. ---------------------------------- Talen's QUAGSIRE used ANCIENTPOWER! Drunk's BLASTOISE is fully paralyzed. Drunk's BLASTOISE recovered with LEFTOVERS. Talen's QUAGSIRE recovered with LEFTOVERS. Drunk's BLASTOISE is at 77% health. Talen's QUAGSIRE is at 90% health. ---------------------------------- Talen's QUAGSIRE used ANCIENTPOWER! A critical hit! Drunk's BLASTOISE used HAZE! All stat changes were eliminated!

It doesn't affect Talen's AERODACTYL! Drunk's BLASTOISE recovered with LEFTOVERS. Drunk's BLASTOISE is at 54% health. Talen's AERODACTYL is at 100% health. ---------------------------------- Pure. Fucking. Luck. No shit there. I _meant_ to Ancientpower again. While this wasn't a BAD choice (since I had a chance to KO the dude before he hurt me), it was far from a good one. ---------------------------------- Talen's AERODACTYL flew up high! Drunk's BLASTOISE used SURF! But it missed! Drunk's BLASTOISE recovered with LEFTOVERS. Drunk's BLASTOISE is at 60% health. Talen's AERODACTYL is at 100% health. ---------------------------------- Talen's AERODACTYL used FLY! But it missed! Drunk's BLASTOISE is fully paralyzed. Drunk's BLASTOISE recovered with LEFTOVERS. Drunk's BLASTOISE is at 66% health. Talen's AERODACTYL is at 100% health. ---------------------------------- This kind of covered me for the Ice Beam fluke a few turns ago, but I still would have preferred otherwhise. ---------------------------------- Talen's AERODACTYL used ANCIENTPOWER! Drunk's BLASTOISE used SURF! It's super effective! Drunk's BLASTOISE recovered with LEFTOVERS. Drunk's BLASTOISE is at 53% health.

Talen's GRANBULL is at 100% health. ---------------------------------- That Granbull can do the job better. ---------------------------------- Talen withdrew GRANBULL! Talen sent out Quesera (JUMPLUFF M L100)! Drunk's RHYDON used TOXIC! But it failed! Drunk's RHYDON is at 100% health.

Stupidity. ---------------------------------- Talen withdrew QUAGSIRE! Talen sent out Mjolnr (ZAPDOS L100)! Drunk's HOUNDOOM used SOLARBEAM! It's not very effective... The sunlight is strong. Drunk's HOUNDOOM is at 100% health. Talen's ZAPDOS is at 85% health. ---------------------------------- Talen's ZAPDOS used THUNDER WAVE! Drunk's HOUNDOOM's paralyzed! Maybe it can't attack!

Drunk's HOUNDOOM fainted! *** chromebot1 has quit IRC (Quit: chromebot1 ) ---------------------------------- And that's where it all ended. He was three down to my one, his baton passer was asleep (I assume it baton passed) and at 88%, and I have no idea what his other two pokemon would have been, while I had Granbull and Houndoom at full health with two paralysers able to take advantage of that (and seriously able to kick shit out of any other ground type I'd see coming). What I Have Learned: 1. Gsbot is fucking fun 2. Probability is... unfun 3. Even Gonk can be wrong 4. Rampage has SERIOUS potential 5. I may want to replace Aerodactyl with something else 6. Quagsire is God. 7. Lightscreen is also a God. 8. Jumpluff is SO DAMN CUTE. 9. Rhydon really shouldn't even TRY if there's potential for a grass attack around. 10. Sunny Day is still a nice idea. 11. Effective and tough is better than not very effective and frail. 12. Houndoom really can be an asshole. 13. But so is Fire Blast. 14. I really wanna do this again.
