good match. I let my Rhyperior go to soon. I wanted to save him for Cinderace. Ribombee would have been ace against your dragons at the end.

 

I put Surf on my Hydreigon in case I got behind early lol. Yeah the speed on Ribombee would have been deadly against them.

 

Yeah. Ribombee is so fast. I should’ve been able to Moonblast them quickly.

 

@CarpetElf I lied, I'm ready to play if you are

 

Hmu

Morgan is very good and that silly ladybug is terrifying

 

@Jake W I have a team ready for your vs Orca match whenever you're ready

 

I'm available now if you are

 

Yup I'm ready!

 

Showdown!

 

I, as Orca, have defeated @Jake W

I don't anticipate history will repeat itself when we play our actual playoff match

Wooooooah

 

I will say Orca drafted a super good team. I’m not surprised it performed well in the right hands.

 

I'm also an idiot not going to make excuses but you can see why in the showdown chat lol

 

Snorlax was the easiest Pokemon on my team for him to wall and destroy and I feel like sacrificing it to gmax Copperajah to burn all 3 gmax turns rather than actually trying to do anything with it saved me a bunch of headache

 

Fake Orca Team

I made a few changes from when I last used this. I switched Dragapult to special (where it's better anyway but last time I needed to hit physically), added Scarf Duraludon to outspeed +1 Gyarados, and changed Belly Drum Snorlax to Curse Snorlax for bulk. Mandibuzz was there exclusively for Corsola+utility, and frankly investing as much as I did in Attack probably wasn't necessary at all. Hippowdon was present for Dugtrio/Obstagoon/Galvantula and served honorably. Rotom was available as an extra special attacker + defogger.

 

Oh man. That sucks.

I’m glad I looked over my team before my battle with Morgan. I had accidentally put Lick on a Pokémon instead of Liquidation.

 

hahahaha i don’t even know how to play Showdown using mobile

it would feel so awkward.

@Fucking Dustin cool team. i haven’t actually tried Hippowdon but always wanted too, so that was nice to see. i like Orca’s team a lot.

 

I never realized just how good Hippowdon is, it's fantastic. Gets outclassed in some areas but it's a really impressive Pokemon

 

this is some good prep tech esp with Duralodon, really paid off

and yeah Mandibuzz has horrible attack so I’m not sure some investment would help

 

Yeah I kinda just left it how it was from my last matchup, and didn't really adjust anything. In retrospect I wish I would've invested in defense, then again in retrospect Jake would've had Night Shade and it might've not mattered haha.
