Forums · the ultimate wallbreaker: Blissey! an OU warstory
my first warstory too
First, I fought this person in a random battle just before this, and we both had different teams. That battle was very one sided and I won with a 6-2 lead, largely because I was playing with an experimental team I doubt he had seen before. We then agreed to battle again, except with different teams.
My team: Heatran, Salamence, Celebi, Infernape, Fortress, Blissey
His team :alakazam, Empoleon, magnezone, Dusknoir, Lucario, Salamence

Standard opening, nothing special. He sets up reflect/light screen and I set up stealth rock and get a head start on fire blasting him.

That put his alakazam just outside of SR death range. Now, I start making tons of mistakes.

My first mistake: celebi. I had leaf storm, but for some reason didn’t use it. Probably, I forgot that steel resists psychic, which i just saw with heatran. Just switching celebi in was a mistake. Almost every Empoleon has ice beam.

Mistake number 2: Attempting to attack him with a wall. Walls do very little damage to begin with, and reflect makes that almost nothing. He also was a special attacker, I have no idea why I didn’t attempt to force him to switch by sending in blissey.

Here I either suffer from short term memory loss, forgetting he had ice beam, or hoping I could sweep him with dragon claw. It didn’t work. I now have three healthy pokemon left, one fainted, and two so badly injured that they probably won’t be of any use. He has 1 useless poke, one slightly damaged, and 4 at full health.

I thought I might be able to take him down with explosion. I couldn’t, so that gives him a huge advantage. At this point, I pretty much think I lost. I can’t see any pokemon that would be able to survive more than one hit from that beast and still be able to actually deal damage. But then I rememberd something crucial: I don’t have to survive that hit.

Priority attacks to the rescue! At this point, I feel pretty much invincible, having just taken down that empoleon. Now it’s his turn to start making mistakes.

One shot kill on a dusknoir, I now feel like it’s going to be smooth sailing to an easy victory. I still have to worry about life orb recoil, which means I won’t be able to sweep his entire team, but I should be able to take out most of it and make short work of the rest.

At this point, I still have enough health left for two more attacks, which is equal to the number of pokemon he has. I am absolutely certain I cannot be defeated at this point.

Uh oh, should’ve seen that coming. I probably should have just used close combat so I would be able to sweep his next poke, but I forgot that dragon types resisted fire, and was worried about not having a strong enough attack. After my infernape fell, I was still confident that I could just send in my remaining pokes and mop up his last pokemon.

A magnezone. Exactly the pokemon I didn’t want to see. I have nothing to take down this thing other than forretress, which couldn’t survive a single hit. All I have now is a blissey, which has HP dark (that I didn’t remember I had until I sent it out), toxic, wish, and protect. All hope was pretty much lost at this point, I thought all I could do was stall
