Team: Iron Maidens Sorry for cutting the selection screen, again. This battle was simply amazing, the tide turning about as often as your typical Phoenix Wright trial. (hence the music) Overall, I thought I predicted well and made some good decisions, which is what made the match as close as it turned out to be. When you see your opponent lead with a Swalot, you know their up to something interesting. It turned out that Swalot was a pure team supporter, (it revealed its entire moveset during the battle) and it nearly set up a dangerous sweep twice. I saw Victreebell's Swords Dance coming a mile off though, (it is a VERY big threat in sun) and that put me at an advantage, although my opponent made a quick and brutal comeback with Infernape. I managed to use its Life Orb against it, and set it up for a Vacuum Wave KO, although if Infernape has Mach Punch, that strategy would have backfired spectacularly, thus the match was incredibly suspenseful enev at the last moment. My one big mistake, however, was Baton Passing to Lucario at the beginning. I then realised it really couldn't threaten Swalot at all, forcing me to give up a turn switching to Miltank. If I had Baton Passed straight to Miltank, I would have had an immediate advantage, threatening Swalot with Earthquake. And Miltank can make surprisingly good use of Agility. Another random note, here you'll finally get to see Lucario in action. You may recall that last time, it got KO'd by a critical hit on the switch-in, before I could even reveal its moveset. Music: All Phoenix Wright Cornered themes, except JFA (because the file got corrupted. It's not a huge loss, as it's easily the weakest of the five)
