*SLEEP CLAUSE ON PAUSE*

Don't forget to watch #77 if you haven't!

Well, well, well. What do we have here? Rachel's team was pretty awesome (and shiny), but naturally...that Darkrai stuck out to me like a sore thumb. Almost everyone I have ever faced had Dark Void. Surprisingly, Rachel stuck with the less accurate Hypnosis, and that threw me for a loop...but in a good way.

At the beginning, I knew Purugly had Fake Out, so I was counting on Floatzel to do some damage (and possibly flinch) Darkrai. I didn't get the flinch, but she took a nice chunk of HP out. That was much appreciated. I figured this battle would go along rather well whether I won or lost because I assumed this person had no intention of breaking the sleep clause.

I was wrong. Good ole Purugly had Hypnosis too, and tried to use it on Hitmonchan. Luckily for me, it missed. After that, though...the game was on. I was happy Purugly used Protect when it did because I knew that if Floatzel was the fastest on the field at the time, Manectric would be too.

The switch to Vespiquen in the end was mostly for Manectric's sake. I wanted to get rid of the effects of Capitivate, and I was hoping Vespiquen could do more than she actually did. I'm going to need to hunt for the right battle to lead with her because when she's doing more to benefit herself than the team, she's pretty tough to take down.

Tailwind is an odd choice for Vespiquen, I know...but the Pokemon on this pass have a hard time outrunning things. I'm still thinking of taking it off for something else though. Vespiquen needs another attacking move...or Destiny Bond.

I chose - Hitmonchan, Floatzel, Manectric, and Vespiquen

Rachel chose - Darkrai, Purugly, Drifblim, and Skuntank
