Props
Theme teams, for being awesome
Gastrodon, for showing its great bulkiness
RaikouLover for a great match

Slops
Milotic for sleeping the whole match
A few too many criticals.
 
I found this warstory to be quite interesting. Thanks for taking the time to share this with everyone :D. GL on your future battles.
 
The champion was nervous, she couldn’t remember the time she was placed into a corner like this.
I laughed. Besides that, it was a surprisingly good match considering the average theme team match like this. Brave bird hypnosis also had a big impact on the game, so boo. Not too sure about garchomp swapping out of toxicroak after getting a swords dance though, did I miss something?
 
I'm not exactly sure why I decided to swap Garchomp out of Toxicroak, maybe I thought Sucker Punch would KO? Not my best move.

Thanks for the comments everybody.

-Clean format
-Simple to understand
-Overall great tactics on both sides

=good warstory

Just wish the comments were a bit more strategy oriented and a bit less discriptive. We can read the log ourselves, what we can't read is what's going on in your head. :/

He was afraid of a sucker punch, but IMO it wouldnt have done enough to kill Chomp so yeah. Anyway interesting battle and decent quality, especially considering it was 2 theme teams.

I love the detail of some sort of story in the match, ie: The bat strikes first, KOing Cynthia’s great Garchomp. The champion was nervous, she couldn’t remember the time she was placed into a corner like this. The only Pokemon she had remaining was Milotic, and that was asleep!

Well done, Cynthia.
 
It was a great match Cynthia. Some day, I'll get you! But anyway, it's ironic how much more fun battles are using a theme team, and how effective they can be thanks to unpredictability.
 
Hmm ... I can't help feeling a little disappointed that Brock didn't win, I like his team more because of the greater number of UU pokemon.

Still a great battle, and interesting read.

Well done on your victory, and the story.
 
Hey, I'M the one with the Brock-themed team! And I don't use lame-ass stuff like Brave Bird + Hypnosis Crobat. >=[

I'm just glad that you beat this phony. >=]
 
What? The champion looks about in disbelief. Crobat cannot learn both Hypnosis and Brave Bird! Brock must have gotten some of Ash’s training that breaks the rules :)
I actually lol'd. Good warstory, I've never seen two theme teams fight before.
