>>19684783>outspeeding GengarWho the fuck said anything about that? Manaphy likely would have killed Gengar due to a boosted Scald and maybe land a burn or a crit. It clearly survived the first attack.
+2 0 SpA Manaphy Scald vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Gengar: 219-258 (83.5 - 98.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+2 0+ SpA Manaphy Scald vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Gengar: 240-283 (91.6 - 108%) -- 50% chance to OHKO
Thus creating a situation where either Gengar is out of the picture or Keldeo can use a more accurate attack to finish it off.
The damage done to Keldeo suggests that Gengar was a Choice Specs holder.
>smarter playMy ass. Neither have what it takes to do enough damage to Roserade with Water moves thanks to its sp.def stat.
