Just had a close brush with death against Jessie and James in Mt. Moon.
Some of my mons had some prior damage going in, but not much.
Ekans was not really threatening me much, but it had a long Wrap that took out almost half of my Hard Core's health out, so I swapped for Birdbrain and finished it off with Peck.
In comes Meowth, destroyer of worlds.
Meowth hits hard with Bite, putting Spearow at less than half HP in one hit. I have to switch it out for Hopping Mad. Meowth gets a crit with Scratch and does a good chunk of damage. I go for Low Kick, but Meowth outspeeds Mankey and crits again with, this time with Bite, putting Mankey at only 3 HP. Thankfully, Low Kick hits and takes out Meowth, but now all my team mates are running on fumes for Koffing. I swap in Pikachu, who takes a tackle on the switch in. Pikachu paralyzes Koffing, but Smog hits and poisons it, putting it in KO territory. I send in Hard Core(Koffing gets fully paralyzed on the switch in), and get a confusion in, but it fails to do half Koffing's health, and the retaliatory Smog crits and puts Hard Core at 1 HP, but mercifully doesn't poison.
In a bit of a panic, I misclick and send out the wildly underleveled Hare Scare.
This is bad because none of my mons can afford to switch in, and Hare Scare is proabably gonna die. It eats a Smog on the way in that does more than half it's health(dunno if it was a crit or not).
But Hare Scare manages to get two Growls in as Koffing gets fully paralyzed twice, so I switch in Birdbrain who can now dispatch the weakened Koffing.
