I really hope either Strey wins or Raymoo loses. The possibility of facing another fairy type team right off the bat in the losers brackets is an unnerving thought to say the least.

>>31493134 You could've lived Lucario's Bullet punch and OHKO back with EQ.
252 Atk Lucario Bullet Punch vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Aerodactyl: 86-104 (55.1 - 66.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Your Aero was already in the green so I'm pretty sure it would be 50/50 chance and not absolute.
Z-Fly OHKOs my 252/252 Beware so you actually had a chance of winning but it would only come down to bullet punch's damage roll.
The battle was still up for grabs.

>>31493199 Because the games went totally against me. Tell me how, as a Rock user, can I deal with a Fighting type team whose half of Pokemon learn Bullet Punch, rendering my Speed useless when my only hope is to set up to win?
I was expecting this outcome anyway. I can only try to survive Losers Bracket now.
>>31493224 I guess, but what upsets me is how helpless I felt. Even with Aerodactyl and Minior, I can't do shit since both are fragile and very weak to Bullet Punch spam.
The games were decided as soon as I brought my first Pokemon.
