As much of a Wigglytuff apologist as I can be, I never though he would pull his weight as much as he ended up doing in this battle against Kansa: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/pokebankubersbeta-68543581

Bluerobin 7, Kansa 6 (I think that's how the scoring works, anyway. It's been so long.)

Edit: And Praise Be to the RNG! (Bluerobin 7, Rolepgeek 3)

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

I think I lost the round 4 battle between me and Kansa. I know I won, but I'm not certain about how much by. I think it was 5-1(favoring me), since I think I only lost Forretress.

I did it in much the same way I almost won round 5. By using Chandelure against him. 6-3 favoring me.
I flail without my Ditto hax. 7-4 favoring Kansa.

T-tar is far more effective against GWG. 7-2 favoring me.

 I didn't know there was a site that you could do pokemein fights without even having the game, good to know about that.

Funny how people quits when you take down their charizard Y.

-> Won some, lost a lot. Any suggestions for strategy? :v

My conclusion from the last battles are that Volcarona is freaking strong, especially when spamming quiver dance. Aaaand that the gnome-looking Mega Hera can be deadly spamming those repeating moves.

I agree with Rolepgeek. A fun theme is more fun to play than the team that is most likely to win.

I will be honest, Venomoth ran out of roost, so it was him or nothing.

I thought you were going to lose there for a while.

Yeah, I was counting on those quiver dance stacks.

I found funny that he commended on that endless fight between Venomoth and Slornax.

HiroXY: I'm not really sure if I understand your strategy?

Indeed.

Good response: "My strategy is not dying to Snorlax."
Better response: "Wait a couple turns."

Yeah, he really should have shifted out to a physical attacker in the first place instead of just hoping for a lucky crit that never came.  Still, it's interesting that he's actually the second person I've seen that was ran Red's old GSC team.

Actually, I meant one that fits both. Sandstorm Trick Room; VoltTurn Rain Dance/Swift Swim; Everyone Gets Batons; Etc.
