Cacturne - Brightpowder
Cradily - Leftovers

Opponent
---------
Jellicent
Hydreigon
Conkeldurr


Thoughts:
---------
Gotta love Cacturne's boosted evasion. (Brightpowder, too).

You'll see that this team is good at forcing switches, with Cacturne's Leech Seed/Teeter Dance and Hippowdon's Yawn.

I'm sure they weren't happy to see Focus Punch on this Cacturne. Bye-bye Hydreigon!

I love Rocky Helmet~ I've been trying to find something to replace the leftovers I used to give Hippowdon (Cradily has them now) and it's a great fit! Hippowdon's massive defense combined with the hurting power of Rocky Helmet make people think twice about directly attacking!

Yay. Recovery. (Look who's talking! I've got Slack Off!)

Cursed Body? Earthquake disabled? Yikes. I didn't know about this ability! 30% chance on each hit, it seems. Cripes. How lucky it happened JUST when they needed it!

I didn't think ice fang would finish Jellicent off... I was probably wrong, but oh well~

Why'd I use Yawn? Because I wanted to set up one of my other pokemon against his crazy-Conkeldurr! Also, I was curious to see if he'd switch. If not, sacrificing Hippowdon was alright by me.

I was NOT looking forward to the drain punches against Cradily. But, I figured I was well prepared. Unfortunately, even with a Barrier set up it hurt /way/ more than expected.

It became a race to raise stats!

That one extra bulk up was all conkeldurr needed. Very prudent.

I was hoping he wouldn't heal fast enough to counteract the poison, but he somehow made it!
(Dang that guy packs a punch!)

Even with Cradily gone, I figured I could just substitute faster than Conkeldurr repeatedly until Poison did him in. But Yikes! Mach Punch! I was /very/ fortunate he missed.

Lots of little tricks in this match!


NOTE:
-----
Video is blurrier than usual. I was trying a different set up.

This was captured with a camera [surprise!]. It's also on an old DS, so, there are graphical anomalies to be expected with this set up (like the faded wavy blue lines). The sound was fed into my computer and captured separately, then resynched to the video.
