Turns 5/6: This sequence here, I needed to have clicked Slash twice or click Fire Blast and pivot to Wart. It doesn't matter if the plays are predictable or not, you need to make the clicks. Slash was honestly better anyways regardless of how things turned out because I would've been able to put things into range, and I was running Double Fire, so it was better to click Slash twice rather than the Fire Blast, and the miss backs things up
Turn 11: the play 10/10 was pivoting to Wartortle. Golbat is relatively healthy despite the para and could've been used for the Ivy matchup. Blizzard was relatively free regardless. While the Mega Drain would've helped, I think the game was telling me here that I shouldn't have stayed in with the full paras 💀
Turn 28: This one I was less confident on, but I think I could've went into Wartortle instead of the Pikachu sack and clicked Blizzard twice or outright Surf. I most likely was losing anyway, but I think keeping Pikachu alive and hoping for good sleep turns would've been the play rather than doing what I did.

I don't think my matchup was entirely great for what its worth either, but that's not really an excuse when I had 2 incredibly significant misplays that in other settings would've given me a better shot into winning. Not making the most out of my Wartortle and playing overly aggressive in this scenario actively created a disadvantage for myself. To reiterate my point on timer, I didn't dip below 270 seconds once that entire game after t1, and I was punished for not taking my time over stuff
