- [20:43] Djangoo like there was literally no reason lol
- [20:43] FireMage Celebi
- [20:43] Djangoo it was dead the next time it switched in
- [20:43] FireMage I should've pursuited
- [20:44] Djangoo due to SR + Spikes
- [20:44] FireMage + I foddered unecessarily
- [20:44] Djangoo yeah saccing everything to magnezone
- [20:44] Djangoo was strange
- [20:44] FireMage I wasn't sure what could take the hit
- [20:44] Djangoo well terakion can outspeed and KO it
- [20:44] FireMage + I forgot Terrakion had EQ
- [20:44] Djangoo it ko's with CC anyway
- [20:46] FireMage welp.
- [20:46] FireMage Ok, our next battle is ready
- [20:49] FireMage http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-ou1419577
- [20:55] FireMage Ok, that was horrible
- [20:55] Djangoo lol yeah that was pretty terrible
- [20:55] Djangoo think about what your doing!
- [20:55] FireMage I've never used/encountered Azelf before
- [20:56] Djangoo well still it was just things like
- [20:56] Djangoo not using bullet punch on it
- [20:56] Djangoo and trying to set up jirachi when you should have just attacked it
- [20:57] FireMage Lol
- [20:57] FireMage ok
- [20:57] FireMage I'm right in thinking it was a hyper offense team, right?
- [20:57] Djangoo yeah completely
- [20:58] Djangoo only goal is to kill as fast as possible
- [20:59] FireMage Alright
- [21:00] FireMage From what you saw, what things from that did I do right? ?What I could mstly improve on? and how I can take that into NU?
- [21:01] FireMage I know one thing, I need to learn speed tiers
- [21:01] Djangoo definitely
- [21:01] Djangoo well actually not even learn them
- [21:01] Djangoo just take a moment before you make a decision
- [21:01] Djangoo to look up the relevant information
- [21:01] Djangoo so you can make the best choice possible
- [21:01] FireMage Ok
- [21:01] Djangoo (and not end up saccing stuff unesscessarily)
- [21:02] FireMage McMeghan said I did that
- [21:02] FireMage when we played for Dual Weather
- [21:02] Djangoo yeah you did it a number of times in those two matches as well
- [21:03] Djangoo like against azelf
- [21:03] Djangoo you could have gone to scizor and used bullet punch followed by dragonite e speed
- [21:03] Djangoo and you only lost scizor
- [21:03] Djangoo or just go to dnite and use espeed twice
- [21:04] Djangoo this basically falls under having a plan for a match
- [21:04] Djangoo and making sure every turn you are working yourself into a situation where you can win
- [21:05] FireMage Ok, 0x1d see.
- [21:05] FireMage *I See
- [21:06] Djangoo it all obviously transfers to NU as well
- [21:06] Djangoo just with different pokemon and situations
- [21:10] FireMage Mind if we do another practice battle?
- [21:10] Djangoo not at all
- [21:10] Djangoo NU right?
- [21:10] FireMage Yeah
- [21:10] FireMage I'd like to learn as much of the metagame as possible
- [21:13] FireMage Or could I watch you battle and see how you would do things?
- [21:13] Djangoo lets battle together first
- [21:14] Djangoo you'll learn much more by battling yourself
- [21:27] Djangoo ok you played much better in that match
- [21:27] Djangoo than in the OU ones
- [21:27] FireMage I did it again
- [21:27] Djangoo (it wasn't perfect but still)
- [21:27] Djangoo where do you think you went wrong?
- [21:27] FireMage Lost a few to Emboar
- [21:27] FireMage I should have seen Marowak coming in on the Volt Sitch
- [21:28] FireMage *Switch
- [21:28] Djangoo eh well you probably should have
- [21:28] Djangoo but also remember that I am aware that you are aware of that
- [21:28] Djangoo so predictions like that are often 50 / 50
- [21:29] FireMage Just checking through the log,
- [21:30] FireMage I think I switched in the wrong pokemon on a predicted superpower
- [21:31] Djangoo yeah going to regirock on even a superpower would have done a lot of good for you
- [21:31] FireMage (I think I switched Ludicolo in, instead of Exeggutor)
- [21:31] Djangoo yeah
- [21:31] FireMage I know I did well with Misdreavus
- [21:31] FireMage Burning a key pokemon, plus using it's immunites
- [21:31] Djangoo yeah I kept trying to superpower regirock on the switch but you wouldn't let me
- [21:32] FireMage :>
- [21:32] Djangoo have you laddered much in NU?
- [21:32] FireMage I don't have the time to ladder
- [21:32] Djangoo
- [21:32] Djangoo fair enough
- [21:32] FireMage Well, not ruthlessly
- [21:32] Djangoo yeah it doesn't have to be anything serious
- [21:33] FireMage Should be able too after my holiday
- [21:33] Djangoo just a few matches here and there to get used to the tier
- [21:33] Djangoo experience is honestly the best way to get better at it
- [21:33] FireMage Ok
- [21:34] FireMage Might I examine a high-level NU match (with possible commentary?)
- [21:35] Djangoo hmmm let me find someone to play
- [21:35] FireMage Thank you, Django!
- [21:35] Djangoo oook I'll play raseri in a sec
- [21:35] Djangoo no problem
- [21:36] Djangoo http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/~~pokeserver.wpeye.net:2052/battle-nu167
- [21:36] Djangoo here you go
- [21:37] Djangoo ok so you want me to talk you through the moves I make?
- [21:37] FireMage If it's not too much trouble
- [21:37] Djangoo kk
- [21:37] Djangoo well I want to try and keep SR off the field as a priority
- [21:38] Djangoo since articuno gets wrecked by it
- [21:38] FireMage Yeah
- [21:38] Djangoo and marowak scares away his sr user regirock
- [21:38] Djangoo + it has a good match up aginst his team
- [21:38] Djangoo ok thats probably CB emoar since he led with it
- [21:38] Djangoo he wouldn't lead with scarf
- [21:38] Djangoo it would also be mixed or specs knowing raseri
- [21:39] FireMage Difficult choice.
- [21:39] Djangoo yeah
- [21:39] Djangoo i can't really switch anything into it though
- [21:39] Djangoo so I'll just stay in for now
- [21:40] Djangoo kind of annoying
- [21:40] Djangoo but its definitely CB so I can set up exxegutor now
- [21:40] Djangoo he's gonna go straight to sap sipper girafarig here
- [21:41] FireMage Sunny day setup?
- [21:41] Djangoo I could
- [21:41] FireMage or douvble switch
- [21:41] Djangoo but double switch works better
- [21:41] Djangoo I'll go into regirock and get up sr
- [21:41] Djangoo mainly so samurott can force its way past lapras later
- [21:42] Djangoo now again I've got a problem
- [21:42] Djangoo since I have no switch ins to emboar
- [21:43] Djangoo I'm going to have to go to exeggutor and hope he superpowers
- [21:43] Djangoo ok that works
- [21:43] FireMage nice prediction
- [21:43] Djangoo but we still can't beat girafarig
- [21:43] Djangoo so
- [21:43] Djangoo I'll double switch to samurott this time
- [21:44] Djangoo girafarig is probably faster (I just looked that up) so it will probably BP out
- [21:44] Djangoo I'm going to HP grass anticpating the lapras switch
- [21:44] FireMage Deosn't BP have negative priority
- [21:45] Djangoo no BP is normal priority
- [21:45] FireMage *Doesn't
- [21:45] Djangoo also that went exactly as planned yay
- [21:45] FireMage huh. I thought different
- [21:45] FireMage ^_^
- [21:45] Djangoo trick room has negative
- [21:45] Djangoo as do roar / ww
- [21:46] FireMage I see why speedy passers are all the rage, now
- [21:46] Djangoo at this point he is probably getting sick of me predictin him
- [21:46] Djangoo so I'm going to make an obvious move and use hp grass again
- [21:46] Djangoo worked again
- [21:47] Djangoo absol can't KO me with sucker punch here
- [21:47] Djangoo so I'm just going to stay in and kill it with hydro pump, since I don't want to have to deal with that later
- [21:48] Djangoo now the most important thing here is that i do not let emboar get a free turn
- [21:48] Djangoo articuno actually matches up well as long as he doesn't send regirock
- [21:48] FireMage keep up offensive pressure?
- [21:48] Djangoo so thats what I'll do
- [21:48] Djangoo yep precisely
- [21:48] Djangoo here I can just spam ice beam since his only resist is slower and ko's by hurricane
- [21:49] Djangoo yeah articuno doesn't care about that
- [21:49] Djangoo at all
- [21:49] FireMage lol
- [21:49] Djangoo now this is where planning really comes into play
- [21:49] FireMage 125Base Sp.def
- [21:49] FireMage 0x1d think
- [21:49] Djangoo I need to figure out how to actually win
- [21:50] Djangoo exeggutor can sweep him
- [21:50] FireMage You need to sleep Regi before it can SR
- [21:50] Djangoo as long as it gets in on either regi or emboar
- [21:50] FireMage Right?
- [21:50] Djangoo well SR is not so much of an issue
- [21:50] Djangoo since articuno is already on the field, and its done its job in the match really
- [21:50] Djangoo exeggutor (and emboar with sunny day up) is the key to winning
- [21:51] Djangoo so I need to make sure both those are safe
- [21:51] Djangoo by sacrificing articuno, giving them free switch ins
- [21:51] Djangoo so yeah
- [21:51] Djangoo as long as sleep powder hits, I should win
- [21:51] Djangoo (and he stays asleep this turn)
- [21:52] Djangoo hmmm actually that thing lives psychic
- [21:52] FireMage What plan did you have for Drifblim
- [21:52] FireMage lol
- [21:52] Djangoo yeah i just calced
- [21:52] Djangoo and it takes less than I though
- [21:52] Djangoo so I can just go to regirock and beat it though
- [21:53] Djangoo he has no rock resists, so stone edge maims whatever he chooses
- [21:53] Djangoo he might try disable here, so I'll go with ice punch
- [21:53] FireMage much more accurate
- [21:53] FireMage Destiny bond
- [21:53] Djangoo ok he was just fishing for a misss, I'll ice punch again
- [21:54] Djangoo even if he does destiny bond, emboar and eggy will have no problem closing the match
- [21:54] Djangoo now I can just go to emboar and click superpower
- [21:55] Djangoo followed by psychic with eggy
- [21:56] Djangoo lol I actually made a mistake by assuming his emboar was slower than exeggutor
- [21:56] Djangoo but going to emboar first meant it didn't matter
- [21:56] FireMage lol, it was banded into superpower
- [21:57] Djangoo so, was that helpful or no?
- [21:57] FireMage Yeah
- [21:58] FireMage The way you preserved Articuno until it was vital for it to go
- [21:58] FireMage As well as seeing how you actually played around a specific mon, until you were in a position to take it out.
- [21:59] FireMage The endgame was interesting oo see too.
- [21:59] Djangoo yeah emboar is a bitch to my team, but it can be played around
- [21:59] Djangoo endgame is seriously annoying sometimes
- [21:59] Djangoo 50 / 50 predictions can screw you over
