Narrated Wi-Fi Battle 37: iamthetie vs Lightning967 [Monotype tourney finale]
Hey guys, the series is going to be out of order. The PMPbeta thing is just taking too damn long. I'll resubmit the link to Wile in case he lost it or didn't see it, but the hiatus between battles is killing me. Instead of giving you guys the semis of the tourney, I now bring you the Finals!
*You're allowed one wildcard*
Now as for the battle. It was the second of 2 matches. I was up 5-3 when the first match D/Ced randomly so that sucked. He made some pretty big mistakes in terms of letting certain guys die, but I said we should just rematch. I wanted to redo all our moves, but he didn't want to and I really didn't care THAT much. The resulting battle was a lot more competitive and involved him making a lot more strategic switching and keeping certain guys around he didn't before, which made the battle a lot tougher on my end. Oh yeah, he's Monotype Psychic as well (FML!)
--spoilers--
post match thoughts. I thought it was still a great game. Looking back, I thought for sure his Gallade had a psychic move, otherwise I totally could have SD'd with Toxicroak to see if I could steal a match from him. Don't think a +2 Sucker Punch would kill Gallade from 90%, but a 1-0 with 15 HP would have been an even closer finish than what we got. :)
If I could tinker with the team, I might replace Crobat with someone like a Nidoqueen or switch Toxicroak for Nidoking, but for a team that was created from poision guys sitting in my box, I felt like they held their own pretty nicely :)
Anyways, sorry for the delay, and I hope you guys enjoy.
