Posting this up because I'm kinda bored, but it also shows how you can turn a pretty lame random draw into a decent team.

[Makoscientist]

You beat a team that had the two worst Pokémon in the game. Ditto is still better then Farfetch'd because it can at least copy good moves and then you can switch out. That and the fact Laraps walls my team to hell and Moltres outspeed Arti so it was no use.

[ragnaar]

Fuck fuck fuck.. I posted this in the wrong forum.

wtb: move.

Lapras didn't even show in this

[Makoscientist]

Which is proof your team was superior. There was no 'crappy random team made good.' Your crappy team beat my horrible team. And this is right, it is a War Story.

If you had gone with agility on turn3, I would've been in trouble

[Makoscientist]

1 SD from Beedrill does not OHKO Persian and Farftech'd killing him doesn't help me when he would have just been 1 hitted by Larpas, most likely. At that point, Lapras would have just walled my team successfully.

[ragnaar]

You had two swords dances on by turn3, and I was on Hyper Beam CD that turn.

[Makoscientist]

You would have justed switched out and killed it off, meh.
