vs lance

[3:13 PM] Leafia_Barrett: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/4660.png https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/4663.png game please
[3:13 PM] Leafia_Barrett: this thing has Destiny Bond
[3:13 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I want it to go away before it uses it
[3:15 PM] SadisticMystic: it no longer has Curse in that game, so you can't make it kill itself
[3:17 PM] SadisticMystic: the good news is 1-2 hyper potions will be enough to run it out of Focus Blasts, and then it's harmless
[3:18 PM] Leafia_Barrett: wish I'd thought of that sooner
[3:18 PM] Leafia_Barrett: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/4666.png
[3:18 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I should have stalled him out of it
[3:18 PM] Leafia_Barrett: items, or switching, or
[3:18 PM] Leafia_Barrett: something
[3:18 PM] Leafia_Barrett: anything
[3:18 PM] Literally Just A Shark: oh no
[3:19 PM] Literally Just A Shark: im so sorry
[3:19 PM] Literally Just A Shark: oh my god, that sucks
[3:19 PM] Leafia_Barrett: if I'd gotten that Fire Blast off, Gengar would have fainted
[3:19 PM] Leafia_Barrett: should've given Fire Blast a PP Up or something
[3:20 PM] SadisticMystic: at least you have a section title: "a kiss goodnight"
[3:21 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I had her since before Slowpoke Well
[3:21 PM] Leafia_Barrett: she was the only reason I survived Bugsy
[3:21 PM] Literally Just A Shark: im so sorry
[3:21 PM] Leafia_Barrett: fuck
[3:21 PM] OrangeJuice: Omg that's terrible...
[3:21 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I'm sorry Dani
[3:22 PM] Literally Just A Shark: losing someone in the e4 always hurts
[3:22 PM] Literally Just A Shark: but a togekiss? damn
[3:23 PM] Leafia_Barrett: it could have been avoided so easily if I'd just thought to stall

[3:39 PM] Leafia_Barrett: Sadistic, what are Lance's team IVs
[3:39 PM] Leafia_Barrett: do you know?
[3:40 PM] SadisticMystic: shows up as a 250, so either 30 or 31
[3:40 PM] Leafia_Barrett: *bitter chuckle*
[3:41 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I should have expected as much, I guess
[3:41 PM] Literally Just A Shark: do u have ice moves
[3:41 PM] Leafia_Barrett: Charizard and Gyarados
[3:41 PM] Literally Just A Shark: i bet melia could take all of dem dragonites except for one cuz i think it has thunder
[3:41 PM] Literally Just A Shark: melia can take char ez
[3:41 PM] Literally Just A Shark: gyara
[3:41 PM] Literally Just A Shark: um
[3:41 PM] Literally Just A Shark: whats ur team
[3:42 PM] Leafia_Barrett: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/team.png
[3:42 PM] SadisticMystic: Lugia doesn't get Recover in that game until 71, so much for tanking everything
[3:43 PM] Literally Just A Shark: is this a hack ur playing or no
[3:43 PM] Leafia_Barrett: no
[3:44 PM] Literally Just A Shark: melia might be best for gyara
[3:44 PM] Literally Just A Shark: aerodactyl has thunder fang btw
[3:45 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I know
[3:45 PM] Literally Just A Shark: kk
[3:45 PM] Hektor: Is aero's attack high enough to one-shot gyara tho
[3:45 PM] Hektor: Through intimidate
[3:45 PM] Literally Just A Shark: nono lance has aero and gyara
[3:45 PM] Hektor: Oh I was assuming SGSS or smth where you can get dactyl
[3:47 PM] Leafia_Barrett: Alicia outspeeds and is guaranteed to OHKO
[3:47 PM] Literally Just A Shark: nice
[3:47 PM] Leafia_Barrett: Gardevoir Thunderbolt vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Gyarados: 172-204 (109.5 - 129.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
[3:47 PM] DestructionDragon360: I'm sorry about Danielle
[3:48 PM] SadisticMystic: does Milotic have Recover, and does it have enough PP for you to waste at least all of Gyarados's Dragon Pulse/Waterfall without attacking it at all
[3:48 PM] Leafia_Barrett: ...?
[3:48 PM] Literally Just A Shark: we have a solution to gyara
[3:48 PM] SadisticMystic: then you can switch to Froslass and set up with impunity (at least one X Speed is necessary for Aerodactyl)
[3:49 PM] Leafia_Barrett: [11:47 AM] Leafia_Barrett: Gardevoir Thunderbolt vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Gyarados: 172-204 (109.5 - 129.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
[3:49 PM] Leafia_Barrett: and I have no X Speeds
[3:49 PM] YoshiOrKirby: at least you know which dragonite has fire blast
[3:49 PM] YoshiOrKirby: unless tanking a dragon move is the real issue
[3:49 PM] SadisticMystic: the idea is rather than killing it turn 1, it might be better to leave Gyarados alive so you can use it as setup bait
[3:50 PM] Leafia_Barrett: tanking anything is the issue
[3:51 PM] Leafia_Barrett: mm
[3:51 PM] SadisticMystic: 0 Atk Gyarados Waterfall vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Milotic: 29-35 (17.6 - 21.3%) -- possible 5HKO
[3:51 PM] SadisticMystic: Dragon Pulse is even lower

[4:07 PM] Leafia_Barrett: to answer your question, Sadistic, no, she does not have Recover
[4:12 PM] Leafia_Barrett: was I right to give the 2 Rare Candies to Melia, or should I give them to Kaho, or should I split them up?
[4:12 PM] Literally Just A Shark: hmmmm
[4:14 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I just had the stupidest idea
[4:14 PM] Leafia_Barrett: could I stall by wasting poke balls?
[4:16 PM] SadisticMystic: if you have enough of them to waste through 15 Waterfalls and 10 Dragon Pulses minus a couple turns for the potions
[4:17 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I have enough and then some
[4:17 PM] Leafia_Barrett: how do you know he's going to just use those, though?
[4:17 PM] Leafia_Barrett: or did you mean including other moves
[4:17 PM] SadisticMystic: because anything else is even worse
[4:17 PM] Leafia_Barrett: ah
[4:18 PM] Leafia_Barrett: yeah, I have enough pokeballs for that
[4:18 PM] SadisticMystic: 0 Atk Gyarados Flail (20 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0- Def Gardevoir: 17-21 (13.4 - 16.6%) -- possible 6HKO
[4:18 PM] SadisticMystic: that's with 126 HP and lowest possible defense, easy enough to Calm Mind up in the face of that
[4:19 PM] Istoki: What is going on
[4:19 PM] Istoki: Are you fighting lance
[4:19 PM] OrangeJuice: Trying to find a way to beat Lance, yes
[4:19 PM] Leafia_Barrett: no point in setting Alicia up
[4:19 PM] Leafia_Barrett: Aerodactyl will just chase her out
[4:19 PM] Istoki: Rematch? Or first time?
[4:19 PM] Narwhal™: well
[4:19 PM] Leafia_Barrett: first
[4:19 PM] Narwhal™: at +6
[4:19 PM] OrangeJuice: First
[4:20 PM] Istoki: Do you have a crobat
[4:20 PM] OrangeJuice: No
[4:20 PM] Leafia_Barrett: at +6, Crunch still doesn't care about Special Defense
[4:20 PM] Leafia_Barrett: and if Froslass can't outspeed, then a -Speed Gardevoir sure as hell can't
[4:20 PM] Istoki: If you have anything that can burn
[4:20 PM] Narwhal™: 0 Atk Aerodactyl Crunch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Gardevoir: 170-202 (61.3 - 72.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
[4:20 PM] Leafia_Barrett: ...I... did, sort of
[4:21 PM] Istoki: Wait are you fighting lance now????
[4:21 PM] SadisticMystic: if Gardevoir has at least 62 defense, it's guaranteed to survive a non-critical Crunch from fullhealth
[4:21 PM] Narwhal™: +6 0 SpA Gardevoir Thunderbolt vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Aerodactyl: 836-984 (277.7 - 326.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
[4:21 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I'm in the Elite Four, if that's what you mean
[4:21 PM] Istoki: Oh god
[4:21 PM] Istoki: What did you grind to
[4:21 PM] Istoki: What level
[4:21 PM] SadisticMystic: mostly 47
[4:21 PM] Istoki: What
[4:21 PM] OrangeJuice: 47-48 iirc
[4:21 PM] Leafia_Barrett: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/team.png
[4:22 PM] SadisticMystic: for perspective, that team's 5 survivors still have more total levels to their name than my team of 6 did at the same point
[4:22 PM] Istoki: Dude I went to 55 in my HG run and I still lost two mons to lance
[4:22 PM] Narwhal™: 0 Atk Aerodactyl Crunch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Gardevoir: 86-102 (62.3 - 73.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
assuming both 48
[4:22 PM] OrangeJuice: Not exactly comforting to know
[4:22 PM] Narwhal™: so if you're healed up
[4:22 PM] Narwhal™: aero is nothing to worry about
[4:23 PM] Istoki: Yeahhhhhhhhh leafia did you get through karen yet
[4:23 PM] OrangeJuice: Yes
[4:23 PM] Leafia_Barrett: yes
[4:23 PM] OrangeJuice: That's how togekiss died
[4:23 PM] Literally Just A Shark: yes
[4:23 PM] Leafia_Barrett: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/4667.png
[4:23 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I beat Karen
[4:23 PM] SadisticMystic: "nothing to worry about" is technically not quite true, unless you've been keeping Lucky Chant in the moveset all this time
[4:23 PM] Istoki: Well fuck
[4:23 PM] Istoki: Leafia I uh
[4:24 PM] Istoki: I hope you saved as many healing items as you can
[4:24 PM] Literally Just A Shark: we have strats
[4:24 PM] Leafia_Barrett: hits reset and feeds rare candies to Alicia instead of Melia
[4:24 PM] Literally Just A Shark: or she does
[4:24 PM] Istoki: Bc that is your only way out of this
[4:24 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I saved after Karen
[4:24 PM] Leafia_Barrett: but before using the Rare Candies
[4:24 PM] Istoki: Who you give the rare candies to means nothing at this point
[4:24 PM] Narwhal™: that's
[4:24 PM] Narwhal™: cheating
[4:25 PM] Leafia_Barrett: what?
[4:25 PM] Leafia_Barrett: how?
[4:25 PM] Narwhal™: resetting
[4:25 PM] Narwhal™: and doing something else
[4:25 PM] OrangeJuice: I mean
[4:25 PM] Narwhal™: that's cheating
[4:25 PM] Narwhal™: the same as doing a battle again or resetting to get a different catch
[4:25 PM] Istoki: It's not going to be enough to significantly change the outcome of the battle
[4:25 PM] OrangeJuice: technically it's not against the rules
[4:25 PM] Narwhal™: doesn't matter
[4:25 PM] Leafia_Barrett: well fuck me for not asking first thinking it'd be okay to back out if I was wrong
[4:25 PM] OrangeJuice: But I would still consider it cheating, yes
[4:25 PM] Leafia_Barrett: god fucking dammit all to fucking hell and fucking back
[4:26 PM] Leafia_Barrett: you have fucking got to be kidding me
[4:26 PM] Literally Just A Shark: just do it as you did originally
[4:26 PM] Istoki: Yeah the 2 candies to Alicia won't make much of a difference
[4:26 PM] Narwhal™: doesnt matter
[4:26 PM] Istoki: You came into the e4 too low leveled
[4:26 PM] SadisticMystic: those levels look fine
[4:26 PM] Literally Just A Shark: who has calm mind
[4:27 PM] Literally Just A Shark: idk what ur talkin bout istoki
[4:27 PM] Istoki: Well I came in at 55 par everyone in my HG run and still lost two mons to lance so
[4:27 PM] CSketch: Uh
[4:27 PM] CSketch: Well
[4:27 PM] Narwhal™: well
[4:27 PM] Narwhal™: that's your fault
[4:27 PM] OrangeJuice: Nuzlockes happen different ways for different people
[4:27 PM] Istoki: Well yeah
[4:28 PM] Literally Just A Shark: honestly thats on you
[4:28 PM] Istoki: I happened to have a very good crobat and tbh that's how I got through.
[4:28 PM] CSketch: I do think that resetting and applying the Rare Candies to a Pokémon different from the one who died is a misc. change but possibly an important one
[4:28 PM] Literally Just A Shark: leaf who has calm mind
[4:29 PM] OrangeJuice: Gardy iirc
[4:29 PM] Leafia_Barrett: Alicia
[4:29 PM] Istoki: Prolly just the gardevoir?
[4:29 PM] Literally Just A Shark: ok stall gyara out of anything not named flail
[4:29 PM] Literally Just A Shark: and then set up on it
[4:29 PM] Literally Just A Shark: wait whats ur ability
[4:29 PM] Leafia_Barrett: Synchronize
[4:29 PM] DannyTurtle: I really like the meow Jerry makes when I pick her up when she's outside.
[4:29 PM] Literally Just A Shark: shite cant cheese it with trace->intimidate
[4:30 PM] SadisticMystic: are there any X items in the bag at all
[4:30 PM] Leafia_Barrett: 2 X Attacks and a Guard Spec
[4:30 PM] Leafia_Barrett: Absol has Swords Dance
[4:30 PM] Literally Just A Shark: wait what is callies moveset
[4:30 PM] CSketch: Then run Physical Gardevoir
[4:30 PM] Leafia_Barrett: Bite / SD / Sucker Punch / Strength
[4:30 PM] CSketch: Teach her all the Elemental Punches
[4:30 PM] CSketch: Nah jk
[4:30 PM] Literally Just A Shark: ok nice
[4:30 PM] Leafia_Barrett: yeah could you maybe not joke around right now
[4:30 PM] Literally Just A Shark: wait
[4:30 PM] SadisticMystic: not that it matters much, since speed already turned up negative, the specials are taken care of, and all you really need to worry about is critical Crunch which doesn't care about X Defend
[4:30 PM] CSketch: Those 2 X Attacks would be helpful on that Absol
[4:31 PM] DannyTurtle: FOOTBALL TIME
LET'S GO LIVERPOOL!!!
[4:31 PM] Literally Just A Shark: nah absol is too frail
[4:31 PM] Istoki: Yeah I don't think you'll be able to use gardevoir to stall gyarados
[4:31 PM] Literally Just A Shark: just pp stall gyara until its out of ice fang and waterfall with melia
[4:32 PM] Istoki: Iirc waterfall did over half to my Ampharos at the time, but that might've been against blue
[4:33 PM] Istoki: It's been 5 years since I did my HG run plz bear with me
[4:33 PM] SadisticMystic: the idea is to stall it out with the Gyarados/Milotic theme match, then switch to someone else
[4:34 PM] Istoki: I'm guessing Alicia doesn't have t bolt
[4:34 PM] Literally Just A Shark: she does
[4:34 PM] Leafia_Barrett: she does
[4:34 PM] Istoki: Ah it's just
[4:34 PM] Istoki: Not dying to waterfall
[4:35 PM] OrangeJuice: Oh yeah
[4:35 PM] Istoki: Yeah I don't think you can pull this off with no one else dying unfortunately ;_;
[4:35 PM] SadisticMystic: Gyarados's best move against Milotic is to spam Waterfall
[4:35 PM] ✿ Anemone ✿: It's pretty rare depending on your levels, but Gyarados has the bulk to take a thunderbolt as well
[4:35 PM] Literally Just A Shark: nah this one cant
[4:35 PM] Leafia_Barrett: that was the first calc I did
[4:35 PM] Leafia_Barrett: it can't
[4:35 PM] ✿ Anemone ✿: Aha
[4:35 PM] Leafia_Barrett: especially not after setting up to +6 SpA
[4:35 PM] Istoki: Yeah the issue is
[4:35 PM] Istoki: Running it out of waterfall and crunch
[4:36 PM] Leafia_Barrett: Crunch is Aero
[4:36 PM] Leafia_Barrett: which comes later
[4:36 PM] Istoki: Oh
[4:36 PM] Literally Just A Shark: it doesnt have crunch
[4:36 PM] SadisticMystic: speed tiers: Gyarados 93, first two Dragonites 98, last Dragonite 100, Charizard 115, Aerodactyl 144
[4:36 PM] Leafia_Barrett: which is why I'm so fucking scared
[4:36 PM] Literally Just A Shark: gyara cant learn crunch until i think 6th gen
[4:36 PM] Literally Just A Shark: if that
[4:36 PM] Istoki: Oh it has ddance?
[4:36 PM] Literally Just A Shark: its really funny
[4:36 PM] Literally Just A Shark: no lances gyara has waterfall ice fang d-pulse and flail
[4:36 PM] OrangeJuice: No it definitely gets crunch gen 6
[4:36 PM] SadisticMystic: with no way to boost speed, even an attempted setup sweep rests on the back of "does Aerodactyl get a critical Crunch"
[4:37 PM] Istoki: Yeah there's no really good way to do this
[4:37 PM] OrangeJuice: Well
[4:37 PM] OrangeJuice: There is the Guard Spec, right?
[4:37 PM] OrangeJuice: Doesn't that block crits?
[4:37 PM] SadisticMystic: it's not the defense drop, it's the critical
[4:37 PM] CasualGameFreak: That prevents negative stat changes, iirc(edited)
[4:37 PM] SadisticMystic: and I doubt Gardevoir has been keeping Lucky Chant in its moveset all this time
[4:39 PM] CasualGameFreak: also hi I exist I recently woke up
[4:39 PM] SadisticMystic: too early in the game to have TM32 either
[4:39 PM] Literally Just A Shark: hi i exist, i'm shark
[4:39 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I wanted to give Alicia Lucky Chant back for Clair
[4:39 PM] Leafia_Barrett: surprise, she can't get it as a Gardevoir
[4:39 PM] OrangeJuice: Ok yeah I was wrong, Guard Spec does block negative stat changes
[4:39 PM] BumbleTK: hi I exist I'm cooking
[4:40 PM] DannyTurtle: Cook me something.
[4:40 PM] Istoki: Well uh
[4:40 PM] BumbleTK: want some potatoes
[4:40 PM] DannyTurtle: I do not want potatoes.
[4:40 PM] Norhian Life: What are you cooking bumble?
[4:40 PM] Istoki: There is nothing I can say at this point except pick a god and pray
[4:40 PM] BumbleTK: potatoes, haricots verts and salmon
[4:40 PM] Literally Just A Shark: are u frederick
[4:40 PM] Leafia_Barrett: she has 1393 XP left to level up
[4:40 PM] Norhian Life: I'll take some potatoes and salmon
[4:40 PM] Leafia_Barrett: 99 speed
[4:40 PM] Literally Just A Shark: honestly it will be fine
[4:40 PM] Istoki: Thankfully no
[4:40 PM] Literally Just A Shark: u wont outspeed an aero
[4:41 PM] Leafia_Barrett: if she levels up before the Lv50 Dragonite comes out,, she'll outspeed that
[4:41 PM] Literally Just A Shark: that doesnt happen
[4:41 PM] Literally Just A Shark: nice
[4:41 PM] Leafia_Barrett: Charizard and Aerodactyl will outspeed no matter what I do
[4:41 PM] ✿ Anemone ✿: Do you have X-items and the free turns to use them?
[4:41 PM] SadisticMystic: +6 Psychic obviously crushes everyone if the move goes off
[4:41 PM] OrangeJuice: No x-items
[4:42 PM] DannyTurtle: Just learn how to cook rice and chicken and you're good forever.
[4:42 PM] SadisticMystic: only X Attack
[4:42 PM] OrangeJuice: Except x-atk
[4:42 PM] OrangeJuice: But that's useless here
[4:42 PM] BumbleTK: you're currently in-battle?
[4:42 PM] OrangeJuice: No
[4:43 PM] SadisticMystic: if you have TM90 (Substitute) from the game corner and still unused, that absolutely ices the match
[4:43 PM] Leafia_Barrett: so who was it that said that the Rare Candy wouldn't matter?
[4:44 PM] Istoki: That would be me
[4:44 PM] Leafia_Barrett: if she doesn't level up before Lv50 Dragonite comes out, she could be crit killed by that too
[4:44 PM] Leafia_Barrett: one single fucking level
[4:44 PM] Literally Just A Shark: but
[4:44 PM] Literally Just A Shark: lance's mons give good exp
[4:44 PM] Literally Just A Shark: thats no problem
[4:44 PM] Istoki: Tbh anyone could get crit killed
[4:44 PM] Literally Just A Shark: none of them will give under 1,500 exp
[4:45 PM] Leafia_Barrett: the first one will be split in half
[4:45 PM] Leafia_Barrett: she would outspeed and OHKO if she had 1 more level
[4:45 PM] Literally Just A Shark: ok
[4:45 PM] CasualGameFreak: The problem is if Lance sends out L50 D-nite early.
[4:45 PM] Leafia_Barrett: thus wouldn't be able to get OHKOd
[4:45 PM] Literally Just A Shark: he wont bring 50nite out second i dont think
[4:45 PM] Literally Just A Shark: honestly
[4:45 PM] Istoki: Yeah, lance sent put level 50 dnite as the second or third mon my run
[4:45 PM] SadisticMystic: I've never seen the L50 anywhere before last
[4:45 PM] CasualGameFreak: He did it 2nd for me in Crystal.
[4:45 PM] Literally Just A Shark: its probably best to just go for it at this point
[4:45 PM] Istoki: It came early
[4:46 PM] SadisticMystic: Gyarados is worth 703 split 2 ways
[4:46 PM] Istoki: 50's the fire blast one, right?
[4:46 PM] Literally Just A Shark: yes
[4:46 PM] Literally Just A Shark: and it has outrage
[4:46 PM] DannyTurtle: He brings it out if you have a mon weak to fire blast.
[4:46 PM] Istoki: Then yes, I had the 50 dnite happen first in my run
[4:46 PM] Istoki: Ah
[4:46 PM] Literally Just A Shark: also has HYPAAAA BEAMU
[4:46 PM] Istoki: That explains it
[4:46 PM] Istoki: It was the one that killed my mamoswine
[4:46 PM] Leafia_Barrett: wait
[4:46 PM] Istoki: :^)
[4:46 PM] CasualGameFreak: Outrage/Fire Blast/Safeguard/Hyper Beam
[4:46 PM] Leafia_Barrett: it has Outrage?
[4:47 PM] Istoki: Yep
[4:47 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I thought it had Dragon Rush like the others
[4:47 PM] Leafia_Barrett: WELP
[4:47 PM] Istoki: Wait
[4:47 PM] Leafia_Barrett: if she doesn't outspeed, it's slightly better than a coin flip's chance that she'll survive Outrage at ALL
[4:47 PM] Leafia_Barrett: 0 Atk Dragonite Outrage vs. 40 HP / 80+ Def Gardevoir: 114-135 (90.4 - 107.1%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO
[4:47 PM] Literally Just A Shark: if you get to +6 its a non-issue
[4:47 PM] Leafia_Barrett: if he sends it out second
[4:47 PM] Istoki: He might not
[4:47 PM] Istoki: Garde isn't weak to fire
[4:48 PM] Literally Just A Shark: he'll probaby send aero
[4:48 PM] CasualGameFreak: The other two have DragonRush/ThunderWave/Blizzard or Thunder/HyperBeam
[4:48 PM] DannyTurtle: Gardevoir is fairy type so why are you so worried. :yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[4:48 PM] Leafia_Barrett: Danny
[4:48 PM] CasualGameFreak: HGSS
[4:48 PM] Istoki: This is HG
[4:48 PM] OrangeJuice: Not until gen 6
[4:48 PM] CasualGameFreak: Fairies don't exist yet
[4:48 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I am incredibly not in the mood for jokes
[4:48 PM] DannyTurtle: That's why I did the faces.
[4:48 PM] SadisticMystic: Charizard has Shadow Claw, but with that defense stat it's not particularly threatening
[4:48 PM] Leafia_Barrett: please don't fuck with me right now
[4:48 PM] Istoki: Seriously Danny stop
[4:48 PM] OrangeJuice: See above comment
[4:48 PM] Leafia_Barrett: any time but right now
[4:48 PM] Literally Just A Shark: leaf
[4:48 PM] Literally Just A Shark: at this point i think its best to go for it
[4:49 PM] SadisticMystic: there is no reason why Lance would send the big Dragonite second, over Aerodactyl or Charizard
[4:49 PM] Literally Just A Shark: yeah
[4:49 PM] BumbleTK: don't worry danny you can still make jokes to me
[4:49 PM] SadisticMystic: again, do you have the Substitute TM?
[4:50 PM] DannyTurtle: Thanks Tk.
[4:50 PM] Leafia_Barrett: no
[4:50 PM] Istoki: Also for the thunder dnite
[4:50 PM] CasualGameFreak: I remember him sending out 50nite second in my Crystal 'locke. Then again, it was against a Lvl 57 Suicune that I had Rare Candied beforehand...
[4:51 PM] ✿ Anemone ✿: Yeah the order is not the most reliable
[4:51 PM] Istoki: If a crobat can survive it, chances are your milotic can survive it too
[4:51 PM] Leafia_Barrett: once Alicia's in, she's in
[4:51 PM] Istoki: You might have to sacrifice someone and I'd prepare yourself to do that
[4:53 PM] SadisticMystic: Milotic barely takes half from a L49 Dragonite Thunder
[4:53 PM] Istoki: Meanwhile I'm just gonna pray bc you have to rely on damage output with barely any status damage and that is gonna just kinda suck
[4:53 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I have to rely on not dying to a crit or an angry Dragonite
[4:54 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I do far more than enough damage to OHKO
[4:54 PM] Leafia_Barrett: once set up
[4:54 PM] Literally Just A Shark: doduo is a beautiful creature
[4:54 PM] ✿ Anemone ✿: The chance of her getting OHKOed by a crit is very small
[4:54 PM] Leafia_Barrett: 6.25% chance
[4:54 PM] ✿ Anemone ✿: Less with damage variance, unless you're -spD
[4:55 PM] ✿ Anemone ✿: Or underleveled? What level is she?
[4:55 PM] Leafia_Barrett: 46
[4:55 PM] Istoki: The team's 46-48
[4:55 PM] Istoki: Which I consider underleveled
[4:55 PM] Leafia_Barrett: 47 if anything but the Lv50 Dragonite comes out first
[4:55 PM] Leafia_Barrett: in which case only Aerodactyl is a threat
[4:55 PM] Istoki: The 50 dnite doesn't come out first
[4:55 PM] Leafia_Barrett: not literally first
[4:56 PM] Leafia_Barrett: immediately after Gyara
[4:56 PM] Istoki: ...I'm just gonna pray
[4:57 PM] SadisticMystic: +5 is enough Calm Minds, no need for the 6th
[4:58 PM] Istoki: Tbh if your houndoom has will o, I'd say risk it to get a burn off or two, but I have a sinking feeling you don't have it
[4:58 PM] Leafia_Barrett: nope
[4:58 PM] ✿ Anemone ✿: Burn wouldn't do much for spA
[4:58 PM] Istoki: It would for outrage tho
[4:59 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I'm not worried about opponent SpA
[4:59 PM] SadisticMystic: but without substitutes, how are you going to take both a Crunch from Aerodactyl and a Shadow Claw from Charizard without healing on every single PP of the move
[4:59 PM] YoshiOrKirby: wait a minute why not milotic?
[5:00 PM] Istoki: Milotic might fall in the attempt to PP stall gyarados
[5:00 PM] YoshiOrKirby: oh
[5:00 PM] SadisticMystic: Milotic is not even close to falling
[5:00 PM] YoshiOrKirby: leaf's trying to set up on gyarados
[5:00 PM] YoshiOrKirby: huh
[5:00 PM] SadisticMystic: Waterfall is its best move, a 5HKO
[5:00 PM] SadisticMystic: easily healed off
[5:01 PM] DannyTurtle: GOAL!!!! 2-0!!!!!!!!
[5:01 PM] Okim On Imosatoyot: quickshot vegetals
[5:01 PM] DannyTurtle: Lovely goal~~
[5:01 PM] Istoki: The issue is also that lance has really good ai
[5:01 PM] ✿ Anemone ✿: Does he?
[5:01 PM] Istoki: Yes
[5:02 PM] DannyTurtle: That's a lie.
[5:02 PM] Leafia_Barrett: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/4719_2.png I can't believe I am throwing a fucking pokeball at a trainer pokemon as part of my strategy
[5:02 PM] CSketch: If only he had a better team thn 3 Dragonites and 3 non-Dragon types
[5:02 PM] ✿ Anemone ✿: 4th gen AI is pretty hit or miss, as I recall. Not something to rely on but absolutely something you can take advantage of if it happens
[5:02 PM] CSketch: Like seriously, KINGDRA EXISTED DURING THAT TIME
[5:02 PM] Istoki: Tbh I'm very happy he doesn't have kingdra
[5:03 PM] OrangeJuice: I guess Kingdra was sort of Clair's thing though
[5:03 PM] T.AI: his cousin already has kingdra
[5:03 PM] CSketch: Yeah I guess
[5:03 PM] T.AI: also mfw lance has used more flying types than he has dragon types
[5:03 PM] Istoki: Also if you have the blue/red/etc flute, that can be used in place of pokeballs
[5:03 PM] CSketch: He should've been a Flying master if anything
[5:03 PM] Leafia_Barrett: pokeballs aren't consumed by this
[5:03 PM] Istoki: WOW
[5:03 PM] CSketch: but that doesn't sound as cool as THE DRAGON MASTER
[5:03 PM] Megpoid_Mint: if he was a flying master
[5:03 PM] Istoki: For real????
[5:03 PM] Leafia_Barrett: they're just bouncing right back into my bag
[5:04 PM] T.AI: falkner's dad is the flying master
[5:04 PM] Megpoid_Mint: he would have used dodrio
[5:04 PM] SadisticMystic: if Milotic doesn't outspeed the big Dragonite, it loses a damage race head on, with Ice Beam falling just short
[5:04 PM] T.AI: i wonder if we'll ever get to meet falkner's dad
[5:04 PM] Istoki: Wow
[5:04 PM] Megpoid_Mint: in the manga
[5:04 PM] Istoki: It's like the master ball glitch all over again
[5:04 PM] OrangeJuice: Lance confirmed for Falkner's dad
[5:04 PM] Istoki: Except without catching anything
[5:04 PM] T.AI: lmao
[5:04 PM] Istoki: I am
[5:04 PM] Istoki: This is
[5:05 PM] Leafia_Barrett: he's now alternating between Ice Fang and Dragon Pulse seemingly at random
[5:05 PM] Leafia_Barrett: so Waterfall's out
[5:05 PM] Istoki: Waterfall has 15 pp
[5:05 PM] Literally Just A Shark: count the number of uses
[5:05 PM] Istoki: Has it been 15 turns????
[5:05 PM] Leafia_Barrett: oh, no, never mind, he's using Flail too
[5:05 PM] Leafia_Barrett: it has
[5:05 PM] Istoki: Uhhhhh yeah he's not out of waterfall
[5:05 PM] Istoki: Rip
[5:06 PM] Istoki: Just PP stall that mofo
[5:06 PM] Leafia_Barrett: it has been 15 turns I mean
[5:06 PM] Istoki: You could prolly go all the way
[5:06 PM] Leafia_Barrett: he used Waterfall and only Waterfall
[5:06 PM] Leafia_Barrett: and then started using not Waterfall
[5:06 PM] Literally Just A Shark: we dont want to go all the way
[5:06 PM] SadisticMystic: Gyarados has a 4HKO on Gardevoir with Struggle, so going all the way is actually worse
[5:06 PM] Istoki: Ah
[5:06 PM] Istoki: The issue is
[5:06 PM] Leafia_Barrett: how bad is Ice Fang
[5:07 PM] Leafia_Barrett: because he's burning through everything at random now
[5:07 PM] Istoki: The moves are coming randomly and ice fang has 20 pp
[5:07 PM] SadisticMystic: Ice Fang on the edge of 3-4 hits
[5:07 PM] Istoki: 15 pp wait ok
[5:07 PM] Leafia_Barrett: Dragon Pulse?
[5:07 PM] ✿ Anemone ✿: Ice Fang should be less of an issue, with it being a weakish non-stab move
[5:07 PM] SadisticMystic: who cares about Dragon Pulse when you run up Calm Minds
[5:07 PM] Istoki: From a gyara? Laughable
[5:07 PM] SadisticMystic: it's a damn Gyarados
[5:07 PM] Literally Just A Shark: dpulse will be a non-issue
[5:08 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I have to go for it now then
[5:08 PM] Istoki: Wait
[5:08 PM] Istoki: You ran him out of waterfalls
[5:08 PM] SadisticMystic: you need 5 CM to wipe out everything, and preferably be at full health
[5:09 PM] Literally Just A Shark: when does doduo evolve
[5:09 PM] SadisticMystic: 31
[5:09 PM] Istoki: Please tell me you have 40 full restores
[5:09 PM] Okim On Imosatoyot: when it becomes duoduo
[5:09 PM] Leafia_Barrett: 39, I used one
[5:09 PM] Istoki: Ok
[5:09 PM] Leafia_Barrett: funny that you guessed that exact amount
[5:09 PM] SadisticMystic: hyper potions are enough if you have them
[5:09 PM] Istoki: Yeah just start the setup and if you get to half from ice fang, heal
[5:09 PM] DannyTurtle: Lucas............ why did you just pass the ball across our goal.
Towards their striker.
2-1
[5:10 PM] SadisticMystic: is there any move on your team like Flash that gives you the chance for a free turn
[5:11 PM] Leafia_Barrett: none that lets the user switch out
[5:11 PM] SadisticMystic: because it really helps to go heal-free turn before sweeping
[5:11 PM] Leafia_Barrett: Froslass has Attract
[5:11 PM] Istoki: But that requires staying in
[5:11 PM] Leafia_Barrett: yeah
[5:11 PM] Leafia_Barrett: hence my statement
[5:11 PM] Leafia_Barrett: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/4733.png good start
[5:11 PM] Istoki: HEAL
[5:12 PM] Istoki: Jfc
[5:12 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I should clarify
[5:12 PM] Leafia_Barrett: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/4730.png this was on switch in
[5:12 PM] Istoki: Jesus what
[5:12 PM] Leafia_Barrett: she was then nailed by a crit
[5:12 PM] OrangeJuice: JESUS
[5:12 PM] Istoki: Heal your ass or switch to lass and heal
[5:13 PM] Leafia_Barrett: Yes, Gyarados, use Flail
[5:13 PM] Istoki: Was that crit flail?or ice fang?
[5:13 PM] Leafia_Barrett: crit Ice Fang
[5:13 PM] Istoki: Ugh just heal
[5:13 PM] Okim On Imosatoyot: resetting to use a rare candy on a different pokemon sure is following rules
[5:14 PM] Istoki: Which didn't happen btw so drop it
[5:14 PM] Hektor: Yeah let's uh
[5:14 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I used them on Milotic like I did before the reset(edited)
[5:14 PM] Hektor: drop that
[5:14 PM] SadisticMystic: see the blue experience bar?
[5:14 PM] Leafia_Barrett: chill
[5:14 PM] Okim On Imosatoyot: see how there could be other pokemon fainted we can't see?
[5:14 PM] Okim On Imosatoyot: but still
[5:14 PM] Okim On Imosatoyot: dropping now
[5:16 PM] Istoki: Yeah leaf you healing up and going for it or going to froslass
[5:16 PM] Literally Just A Shark: go for it
[5:16 PM] Megpoid_Mint: how is college
[5:16 PM] Leafia_Barrett: Mystic, given 92 defense, what's the biggest crit Ice Fang can deliver?
[5:17 PM] Literally Just A Shark: meanwhile FUCK YEAH HONEDGE
[5:17 PM] SadisticMystic: the idea is to prompt it into running out of Ice Fang, and switching to Frosless is going to leave it extremely disinclined to do that
[5:17 PM] Istoki: Tru
[5:18 PM] SadisticMystic: 0 Atk Gyarados Ice Fang vs. 0 HP / 50+ Def Gardevoir on a critical hit: 66-78 (52.3 - 61.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
[5:18 PM] CSketch: So Robo Golden Digi Latias AKA Sparrowmon is looking weider and weirder everytime due to wonky proportions and now it doesn't even look like what it looked in the opening, it looks like a tiny plane with a face
[5:18 PM] Leafia_Barrett: right, healing
[5:18 PM] DannyTurtle: 2-1 at halftime but really should be 2-0 because that was dumb.
Time to make some food.
[5:18 PM] Literally Just A Shark: WHY DOES EVERYTHING AND ITS MUM HAVE FUCKIN SWORDS DANCE
[5:18 PM] Applecifer: because that's how egg moves are passed down
[5:18 PM] Applecifer: the more you know!
[5:18 PM] SadisticMystic: because they're Honedge, of course they like to dance
[5:19 PM] CSketch: Because Swords Dance is a TM and I didn't know that until very recently
[5:19 PM] Istoki: I mean the calcs are great
[5:19 PM] CSketch: Add that to the list of TMs I didn't know were TMs along with Dragon Claw and Thunder Wave
[5:19 PM] Literally Just A Shark: goteeeem
[5:19 PM] Istoki: But there comes a point where you need to have an intuitive sense of what your team can take
[5:20 PM] Istoki: And leaf, there ain't nobody better than u to make those calls
[5:20 PM] Literally Just A Shark: Ribbon the rash honedge is on the team
[5:20 PM] Literally Just A Shark: nvm we serious
[5:20 PM] CSketch: PPFFFFT
[5:21 PM] CSketch: Honedge is rad
[5:21 PM] Literally Just A Shark: yeah
[5:21 PM] Literally Just A Shark: esp when everything is fighting type and wants to murder me in the butthole
[5:22 PM] Istoki: Shark u should do evolite doublade
[5:22 PM] Istoki: Super fun
[5:22 PM] Literally Just A Shark: prolly will since dusk stones are dumb to come by
[5:22 PM] Hektor: You don't get a Dusk Stone until lots of Super Training or Terminus Cave
[5:22 PM] Hektor: So that's a solid plan
[5:22 PM] Leafia_Barrett: so we're doing this, Gyarados? Now that I have 5 CMs up, you're just going to keep using Ice Fang?
[5:22 PM] Leafia_Barrett: That's fine, you only have so much PP for it
[5:23 PM] Istoki: Omg
[5:24 PM] Literally Just A Shark: my ralts is now named Odin Dark
[5:25 PM] Literally Just A Shark: leaf hows it goin
[5:26 PM] T.AI: teach him thunderbolt he'll be odin spark
[5:26 PM] Leafia_Barrett: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/4750.png THANK YOU FOR THINKING, PAST ME
[5:26 PM] OrangeJuice: I mean odin and spark are practically the same character
[5:26 PM] Leafia_Barrett: oh my god that's secretly great
[5:26 PM] T.AI: his pokeball hand twitches
[5:26 PM] OrangeJuice: They were even designed by the same person
[5:26 PM] T.AI: i cant say thats wrong without lying
[5:26 PM] SadisticMystic: and second is...
[5:27 PM] hwell wplayed: turn him into a bird and he'll be odin lark
[5:27 PM] ✿ Anemone ✿: He can spend a day at the odin park
[5:27 PM] SadisticMystic: hack its ability to Illusion, then it can pretend to be Odin Zoroark
[5:27 PM] T.AI: give him sarcastic dialogue: odin snark
[5:27 PM] hwell wplayed: :V
[5:27 PM] Plain Yogurt: Make him an archer so he can hit his Odin Mark.
[5:27 PM] DannyTurtle: Oh my god.
Jerry was meowing at me.
But she yawned while meowing.
So she went "Mr-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-oooowwwwwwww."
[5:28 PM] Literally Just A Shark: my cat is silent
[5:28 PM] hwell wplayed: also: if you throw him in the sea, he becomes odin shark
[5:28 PM] DannyTurtle: I laughed for a good few minutes at her.
[5:28 PM] Leafia_Barrett: Aerodactyl
[5:28 PM] Leafia_Barrett: also I forgot to screenshot Aero coming in
[5:28 PM] hwell wplayed: oops
[5:28 PM] hwell wplayed: it happens
[5:28 PM] Leafia_Barrett: oh well, can't get that back
[5:28 PM] Leafia_Barrett: moving on
[5:28 PM] SadisticMystic: Shell Bell might not heal enough if he sends Aerodactyl-Charizard one after the other
[5:28 PM] Literally Just A Shark: just tbolt
[5:28 PM] hwell wplayed: this is why i hit the screenshot button 5 million times every time something happens
[5:28 PM] hwell wplayed: and also quicksave obsessively
[5:29 PM] SadisticMystic: that, plus critical Crunch, are the only remaining obstacles
[5:29 PM] Leafia_Barrett: quicksave bugs the game if used in the middle of the not-overworld
[5:29 PM] Leafia_Barrett: rather, quickload
[5:30 PM] Leafia_Barrett: what's the threshold on Shadow Claw
[5:30 PM] hwell wplayed: oh
[5:30 PM] Leafia_Barrett: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/4753.png because GET FUCKED, AERODACTYL
[5:30 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I LIVED
[5:30 PM] hwell wplayed: nice
[5:30 PM] OrangeJuice: NICE
[5:30 PM] SadisticMystic: 0 Atk Charizard Shadow Claw vs. 0 HP / 52+ Def L47 Gardevoir: 56-66 (43.7 - 51.5%) -- 8.6% chance to 2HKO
[5:30 PM] hwell wplayed: now you just have to kill it
[5:31 PM] Literally Just A Shark: shadow claw has high crit
[5:31 PM] Leafia_Barrett: oh trust me that is taken care of
[5:31 PM] Leafia_Barrett: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/4754.png FRY!
[5:31 PM] SadisticMystic: L47 max HP?
[5:31 PM] Istoki: this reminds me of when i walked a friend through platinum's E4
[5:31 PM] Norhian Life: and he was never heard from again
[5:32 PM] Istoki: not a nuzlocke, just a normal run and we had one faint during cynthia
[5:33 PM] Istoki: with such great advice as, "well shit i don't know if most of your mons can take a solarbeam/sunny day'd fire blast, go into ur own rapidash"
[5:33 PM] Leafia_Barrett: 129 HP, 94 Defense
[5:33 PM] Leafia_Barrett: current HP 61
[5:33 PM] Leafia_Barrett: definitely healing
[5:33 PM] Istoki: yeahhhhhhhh leaf u gotta heal
[5:33 PM] SadisticMystic: there are two critical damage rolls on Shadow Claw that get 128
[5:33 PM] Literally Just A Shark: oof
[5:33 PM] OrangeJuice: jesus, really?
[5:33 PM] Istoki: jesus damn
[5:33 PM] SadisticMystic: also one each at 130 and 132
[5:34 PM] Literally Just A Shark: oof
[5:34 PM] Leafia_Barrett: out of what, 16?
[5:34 PM] Istoki: GATHER ROUND Y'ALL
[5:34 PM] SadisticMystic: yes
[5:34 PM] Istoki: WE'RE MAKING A PRAYER CIRCLE
[5:34 PM] Istoki: FOR LEAF TO AVOID THE DEATH (tm)
[5:34 PM] OrangeJuice: Raise your hands in the air!
[5:34 PM] OrangeJuice: Give leaf your energy!
[5:34 PM] Istoki: 🙌
[5:35 PM] SadisticMystic: having 129 HP rather than 128 halves the chance of an unavoidable KO
[5:35 PM] hwell wplayed: 🙌
[5:35 PM] Istoki: 🙏
[5:35 PM] Literally Just A Shark: 🙌
[5:35 PM] hwell wplayed: 🙏
[5:35 PM] Literally Just A Shark: 🙏
[5:35 PM] ✿ Anemone ✿: 💒
[5:35 PM] Leafia_Barrett: 64 damage taken, 65 HP remaining
[5:35 PM] Istoki: what is that lol
[5:35 PM] Istoki: you don't outspeed, do you
[5:36 PM] Leafia_Barrett: oh hell no
[5:36 PM] SadisticMystic: no, Charizard is out of reach at 115
[5:36 PM] Leafia_Barrett: this thing'd be dead already
[5:36 PM] Istoki: shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
[5:36 PM] Istoki: oh god
[5:36 PM] Istoki: 🙏 congoline
[5:36 PM] SadisticMystic: basically it's operation "spam 20 heals and hope that none of the rolls are max damage crit"
[5:37 PM] Istoki: ._.
[5:37 PM] SadisticMystic: odds of surviving a 1/32 bullet 20 times in a row are almost exactly 50-50
[5:37 PM] OrangeJuice: 🙏
[5:37 PM] Istoki: sad my friend
[5:37 PM] Istoki: this is enough math
[5:38 PM] Istoki: all we can do now is put our hope in the heart of the pokemon
[5:38 PM] Literally Just A Shark: so wait are u saying that its 1/32 for max damage roll and crit eveyr turn?
[5:38 PM] SadisticMystic: 1/4 for critical, and 1/8 for one of the top two damage rolls that does 130 or more
[5:38 PM] Literally Just A Shark: shit
[5:39 PM] Leafia_Barrett: so I could try to stall it out or I could try to go for it with enough HP to take a non-crit Claw
[5:39 PM] Istoki: things that houndoom would be mighty useful for
[5:39 PM] Istoki: THIS
[5:40 PM] Istoki: i know we have the +5 setup
[5:40 PM] SadisticMystic: given a non-critical that does 62 or less, going for it means risking everything on the next hit not being critical as well
[5:40 PM] SadisticMystic: if it is, it's a KO regardless of the damage roll
[5:40 PM] Istoki: jesus
[5:40 PM] SadisticMystic: 75-25 is better than 50-50 on odds at least
[5:40 PM] Istoki: BELIEVE IN THE HEART OF THE GARDEVOIR
[5:41 PM] SadisticMystic: but with each passing turn and bullets cleared, the 50-50 odds improve
[5:41 PM] Literally Just A Shark: asKFHSKLDF fuck volbeat
[5:41 PM] Leafia_Barrett: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/4767.png game

[5:42 PM] Leafia_Barrett: yes
[5:42 PM] SadisticMystic: yes
[5:43 PM] Istoki: you should still heal
[5:43 PM] Leafia_Barrett: thanks to a levelup earlier in the fight

[5:43 PM] Istoki: what
[5:43 PM] SadisticMystic: Dragonites are 100, 98, 98
[5:43 PM] Leafia_Barrett: gives him a chance to attack
[5:43 PM] SadisticMystic: Gardevoir was 99 at L46
[5:43 PM] Istoki: you're at 11 HP
[5:43 PM] Leafia_Barrett: and this is the one that could OHKO me without a crit
[5:43 PM] Literally Just A Shark: honestly just psychic all three

[5:52 PM] Leafia_Barrett: Sadistic, are you sure the Lv50 is the 100 speed one? I just want to make sure
[5:52 PM] OrangeJuice: The trainers there have audinos sometimes
[5:52 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I now see that Alicia actually only speed ties
[5:52 PM] Literally Just A Shark: mhm

[5:55 PM] CSketch: Because your team is colorful and rad
[5:55 PM] Istoki: named after melia from xenoblade?
[5:56 PM] SadisticMystic: unless Lance is using +speed natures, the L49s have speed 98 and the L50 has speed 100(edited)
[5:57 PM] Leafia_Barrett: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/4782.png I have spoken slightly too soon, that stung like a motherfucker
[5:57 PM] Leafia_Barrett: well, I've committed
[5:57 PM] Istoki: WAS THAT THE THUNDER
[5:57 PM] OrangeJuice: Ooh
[5:57 PM] OrangeJuice: That
[5:57 PM] OrangeJuice: Is not good
[5:57 PM] Leafia_Barrett: that was Dragon Rush
[5:57 PM] Istoki: oh thank god
[5:57 PM] hwell wplayed: yikes tbh
[5:57 PM] Leafia_Barrett: which has potato accuracy
[5:57 PM] Taprus: oh...dang

[5:58 PM] Leafia_Barrett: coming out of every pocket of my bag
[5:58 PM] CSketch: Sparrowmon is such a cutie omg
[5:58 PM] CSketch: Well Latios and Latias are cute
[5:58 PM] CSketch: So of course a clone of them would be
[5:58 PM] Leafia_Barrett: let's find out if I made a mistake
[5:58 PM] Leafia_Barrett: save state 1(edited)
[5:58 PM] CSketch: oH shit Dragon Rush oof
[5:58 PM] Leafia_Barrett: load state 8
[5:58 PM] CSketch: But don't worry it has bad accuracy
[5:58 PM] CSketch: Why did you load a state?
[5:58 PM] Literally Just A Shark: ????????
[5:59 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I saved state 8 before I bailed
[5:59 PM] Leafia_Barrett: saved state 1 to load back to
[5:59 PM] SadisticMystic: Dragon Rush is more damaging than Thunder
[5:59 PM] CSketch: ah okay
[5:59 PM] Literally Just A Shark: btw a level 49 dragonite wont outspeed alicia
[5:59 PM] CSketch: Yeah it's basically Dragon-type Iron Tail
[6:00 PM] CSketch: Except it hits Minimized 'mons for doubled damage and, in Gen VI, for perfect accuracy
[6:00 PM] Taprus: considering the difference of Phys attack STAB and SE spec attack that's...lower I think
[6:00 PM] Norhian Life: Oh
[6:00 PM] SadisticMystic: also of note: Milotic needs two Ice Beams for each Dragonite
[6:00 PM] YoshiOrKirby: wait a minute don't you have a frosslass?
[6:00 PM] Taprus: oh.....shit
[6:00 PM] Leafia_Barrett: a Froslass that I can't get onto the field safely
[6:00 PM] SadisticMystic: Froslass isn't going to tank Dragon Tail very well
[6:00 PM] YoshiOrKirby: oh
[6:01 PM] Leafia_Barrett: so, story time, folks
[6:01 PM] Leafia_Barrett: [1:59 PM] Literally Just A Shark: btw a level 49 dragonite wont outspeed alicia
 > [1:56 PM] SadisticMystic: unless Lance is using +speed natures, the L49s have speed 98 and the L50 has speed 100
[6:01 PM] Istoki: oh shit

[6:02 PM] SadisticMystic: "Thanks, future self!"
[6:03 PM] Literally Just A Shark: are u shulk
[6:03 PM] Istoki: bc if she is xenoblade
[6:03 PM] Literally Just A Shark: the one who died in my first run
[6:04 PM] Istoki: i will not forgive you if you put her in the face of the death (tm)
[6:04 PM] Istoki: all things considering
[6:04 PM] Istoki: this lance battle is the five impossible takss
[6:04 PM] Literally Just A Shark: oK SNORLAX HAS LICK RIBBON IS NOT A GOOD CHOICE
[6:05 PM] Leafia_Barrett: okay, is "good AI" gen 1 style still in effect here?
[6:05 PM] Leafia_Barrett: will he always use Thunder?
[6:06 PM] Literally Just A Shark: snorlax is still a bore-lax
[6:06 PM] Istoki: NO
[6:06 PM] SadisticMystic: it runs the numbers, not just the types
[6:06 PM] Istoki: GOOD AI IS NOT A THING HERE
[6:06 PM] Leafia_Barrett: then why did it use Thunder there?
[6:06 PM] Istoki: Expect more rush potatos
[6:06 PM] Literally Just A Shark: um
[6:06 PM] SadisticMystic: if there's a move that will get a KO given the situation at the start of the turn, it will always use such a move
[6:06 PM] Literally Just A Shark: to quote bryss
[6:06 PM] Leafia_Barrett: oh
[6:06 PM] Literally Just A Shark: derp quota
[6:06 PM] Istoki: yeah you uh
[6:06 PM] Leafia_Barrett: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/4789.png
[6:06 PM] SadisticMystic: if multiple moves are good enough, it can pick either
[6:06 PM] Leafia_Barrett: also, thank you again past me
[6:06 PM] OrangeJuice: oh
[6:06 PM] Istoki: HYPER POTION
[6:06 PM] Istoki: DO NOT HEAL THE PARALYSIS
[6:06 PM] Norhian Life: Thunder has more power accounting for dr's stab and super
[6:07 PM] Leafia_Barrett: (Lum, her Mystic Water wasn't doing shit)
[6:07 PM] Istoki: DO NOT
[6:07 PM] Istoki: MARVEL SCALE BOOSTS YOUR DEFENSE
[6:07 PM] Narwhal™: did you reload a savestate and then do something else
[6:07 PM] Istoki: i think
[6:07 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I did not
[6:07 PM] SadisticMystic: Thunder has less power given that it's a Milotic
[6:07 PM] Narwhal™: oh ok
[6:07 PM] Literally Just A Shark: she loaded a savestate to check to see how badly she wouldve gotten bodied
[6:07 PM] Narwhal™: does the milo have marvel scale?
[6:07 PM] Leafia_Barrett: fuck you, past me
[6:07 PM] SadisticMystic: during my Lance battle, I had that incident where I switched out thinking "might as well, it'll save a potion" and it turned out to save a life
[6:07 PM] Leafia_Barrett: she does
[6:07 PM] Istoki: IT'S 4th GEN OF COURSE IT DOES
[6:07 PM] Istoki: hyper potion up
[6:08 PM] Istoki: do not heal the paralysis
[6:08 PM] Literally Just A Shark: thats its only ability in gen 4
[6:08 PM] Literally Just A Shark: its already healed
[6:08 PM] Leafia_Barrett: she was holding a Lum Berry
[6:08 PM] Istoki: FUCk
[6:08 PM] Leafia_Barrett: that was a misstep
[6:08 PM] Istoki: HEALLLLLLLLLLLLLLl
[6:08 PM] Literally Just A Shark: honestly full-paralysis is still dangerous
[6:08 PM] Istoki: ok but it would've made tanking rush a LOT EASIER
[6:08 PM] Istoki: says the person who has a thing for guts on nuzlocke teams(edited)
[6:09 PM] Literally Just A Shark: on the list of things that need to die promptly
[6:09 PM] Literally Just A Shark: this snorlax smh
[6:09 PM] Istoki: jesus well friend u just gotta heal and pray
[6:09 PM] Leafia_Barrett: POTATO ACCURACY TO THE RESCUE

[6:10 PM] Leafia_Barrett: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/4793.png
[6:10 PM] Leafia_Barrett: 2 Ice Beams, I mean
[6:10 PM] Istoki: MELIA TAKES NO PRISONERS
[6:11 PM] Istoki: MELIA, QUEEN OF ALCAMOTH
[6:11 PM] SadisticMystic: maybe it's +speed -special D for some reason
[6:11 PM] Literally Just A Shark: naive?
[6:11 PM] Literally Just A Shark: huh
[6:12 PM] Istoki: also if lance uses t wave from the last one
[6:12 PM] Istoki: i will laugh
[6:12 PM] DannyTurtle: Oh wow.
Mignolet not only has a bloody nose because of being headbutted by Huth, but now he's got a cut on his eye because of a clash with Vardy.
[6:12 PM] SadisticMystic: it's just going to be more Dragon Rush
[6:12 PM] Leafia_Barrett: blinks
[6:12 PM] Leafia_Barrett: hold up, did I just outspeed?
[6:13 PM] Leafia_Barrett: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/4794.png https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/4795.png

[6:13 PM] Istoki: YES YOU DID
[6:13 PM] Leafia_Barrett: begone, dinobeasts
[6:13 PM] Istoki: WE WILL NOT BOW DOWN TO YOU
[6:13 PM] SadisticMystic: maybe it's a sneak preview of future generations where they finally add speed variance rolls in addition to damage variance
[6:14 PM] Literally Just A Shark: wait
[6:14 PM] Leafia_Barrett: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/4798.png
[6:14 PM] Literally Just A Shark: nahhhhhhhhhh

[6:17 PM] DannyTurtle: 4-1 against the defending champions is pretty good.
[6:17 PM] Istoki: i had to quit my HG run bc my crobat died to blue
[6:17 PM] Istoki: as well as my marowak
[6:17 PM] Istoki: my team went from 5 to 3 and there was no way i was gonna get a team good enough to beat red

[6:19 PM] SadisticMystic: I escaped from the Blue fight with one survivor, who was still well below their level
[6:19 PM] Istoki: but the kimono girls were the worst part of my HG run
[6:19 PM] Literally Just A Shark: leaf, maybe u should deliver a eulogy
[6:19 PM] Istoki: yeah i noticed you didn't have a starter on ur team
[6:19 PM] Istoki: not sure if randomized or just
[6:19 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I think flashbacks would be just as apt
[6:19 PM] SadisticMystic: Ralts was the starter
[6:19 PM] Leafia_Barrett: I've never been good with words
[6:20 PM] SadisticMystic: what would you expect, given the run author(edited)
[6:20 PM] Literally Just A Shark: in a casual plat run i nearly wiped to byron, my last mon was a riolu that was level 20 something against his bastiodon
[6:20 PM] Leafia_Barrett: colorlocke with 3 colors available
[6:20 PM] Istoki: ahhhhhh
[6:20 PM] Literally Just A Shark: tanked a crit stone edge

[6:20 PM] Literally Just A Shark: this is a HARD ruleset leaf
[6:21 PM] Literally Just A Shark: gj on powering through
[6:21 PM] Leafia_Barrett: 5 of the 6 pokemon on the team are hand-picked as gift replacements
[6:21 PM] SadisticMystic: idea for Kanto: bring Lugia onto the team but mike it abide by a vow of pacifism, deleting all damaging moves
[6:21 PM] Leafia_Barrett: because I've had so little in the way of catches
[6:21 PM] Leafia_Barrett: ...the 6th was Danielle
[6:21 PM] Literally Just A Shark: pls just give lugia frustartion and rename it anemoi
[6:21 PM] Literally Just A Shark: oh

[6:22 PM] Leafia_Barrett: (not my first loss overall, it is my first loss this run)
[6:22 PM] Literally Just A Shark: at least you dont make questioable decisions in every run you do
[6:22 PM] Literally Just A Shark: like me
[6:23 PM] Leafia_Barrett: doesn't make it sting any less, but
[6:23 PM] SadisticMystic: the E4 chapter does need to be named "A Kiss Goodnight"
[6:23 PM] Istoki: oh god
[6:23 PM] Narwhal™: name it " distant screaming "
[6:24 PM] Literally Just A Shark: btw i am the most eccentric person when naming
[6:24 PM] Leafia_Barrett: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28505565/Screenshots/z_event/nwcl/update_9/4818.png go away before I embed you in the wall, you fucking reporter
[6:25 PM] Narwhal™: that seems a little far
[6:25 PM] Narwhal™: it was one pokemon
[6:25 PM] Literally Just A Shark: i have an unfinished plat nuzlocke
[6:25 PM] Literally Just A Shark: more like just overall stress
[6:26 PM] Literally Just A Shark: but in my unfinished locke every mon had a name that started with b
[6:26 PM] Literally Just A Shark: like big boy the torterra and beep boop the porygon2
[6:26 PM] SadisticMystic: my naming scheme usually comes down to "if Game Freak didn't name this Pokemon what they did, what's another name they could have brainstormed for it?"
[6:27 PM] Z-nogyroP: always a good option
[6:27 PM] Narwhal™: my current w2 run has everything named after food
[6:27 PM] Narwhal™: the hack run is random wikipedia articles
[6:27 PM] Literally Just A Shark: i named a yamask "Googly" cuz i thought it had googly eyes
[6:27 PM] Literally Just A Shark: i was 16 at the time
[6:28 PM] Literally Just A Shark: see also: dogson, the stoutland
[6:28 PM] Narwhal™: these are great names
[6:28 PM] Literally Just A Shark: currently in my x nuzlocke i have things like odin dark the ralts, squawk the doduo, and merlin the male fennekin
[6:29 PM] Applecifer: squawk
[6:29 PM] Applecifer: Dogson is a good name
[6:29 PM] Applecifer: he is indeed the son of a dog
[6:29 PM] OrangeJuice: http://i.imgur.com/SjvKFE9.png
[6:29 PM] Literally Just A Shark: i tend to name bird-like pokemon after bird sounds
[6:29 PM] OrangeJuice: This is what I just encountered in Rock Tunnel
[6:29 PM] Applecifer: oh, is this the online Red randomizer
[6:29 PM] OrangeJuice: ye
[6:29 PM] Literally Just A Shark: fun
[6:29 PM] Applecifer: thought so
[6:29 PM] SadisticMystic: as a refresher, this is the team I took to Lance: http://i.imgur.com/yXKJx29.png
[6:29 PM] Applecifer: it has spindle legs
[6:30 PM] SadisticMystic: (top to bottom: Umbreon, Crobat, Gyarados, Kadabra, Magneton, L36 Haunter)
[6:30 PM] Applecifer: >nonstick
[6:30 PM] OrangeJuice: I could've had an Arceus as my catch
[6:30 PM] OrangeJuice: But I got a Carnivine
[6:30 PM] OrangeJuice: It's not even like I need another Grass-type
[6:30 PM] Narwhal™: there's a lot of steel types that would debate magneton's stickiness
