>>44871244>>44871283So, a few hours ago, I took on Hapu.
>Alolan DugtrioIt uses Sandstorm as Marine Bulks Up.
However, Turn 2 ruins everything; Dugtrio scores an Earthquake Crit and knocks Marine really low on health, and Sand Veil causes a Hammer Arm Miss.
I accidentally misclick and send out Blade(with no Eviolite, I worry she might get oneshot), but luckily Sand Veil works out on my end.
I send in Tiki(with Eviolite), but Earthquake does too much damage for her to stay in to do anything.
I realize at this point that I need to sack someone to get a safe switch.
I end up sending in Marine, and she falls to Earthquake. The Sandstorm fades.
I send Dahlia in next, thinking I'll outspeed Dugtrio. When I notice I don't do so I almost panic, but luckily it just reapplies the sandstorm, and Flamethrower takes out Dugtrio.
>MudsdaleI send in my bulkiest mon, Coral, to weather the Z-Move, but she gets oneshot by Tectonic Rage and now I'm in a terrible position- I could well wipe here.
I send Dahlia back in- I'm gonna have to sacrifice her to win.
She does fairly heavy damage with Fire Blast, before Earthquake annhilates her.
Molly comes in next, and takes out Mudsdale with a Dazzling Gleam Crit.
>GastrodonMolly Calms her Mind before getting hit with some Muddy Water.
Another Calm Mind follows, but now Muddy Water misses.
Molly fires off a Dazzling Gleam, and gets hit by more Muddy Water.
She Roosts off the damage, and Gastrodon does the same with Recover.
Molly uses Calm Mind yet again, and gets hits with Muddy Water yet again.
Pollen Puff knocks Gastrodon into the red, as she gets hit by more Muddy Water.
Hapu uses a Hyper Potion, and Molly Roosts away her worries.
Another Calm Mind and Muddy Water later, a Pollen Puff finally takes out Gastrodon.
>FlygonEarth Power fails to do much of anything, and Dazzling Gleam takes out Flygon.
