nol Banned Join Date: Oct 2003	Battles 221-230 Spoiler 221. Almost identical to battle 219. A 1-2 punch of Metagross and Slowbro took out Glalie, with Drapion doing the last bit of damage to Slowbro with Knock Off. 222. Standard Cloyster victory 223. Standard Cloyster victory 224. Standard Cloyster victory 225. Standard Cloyster victory 226. Standard Cloyster victory 227. Standard Cloyster victory 228. Standard Cloyster victory 229. Another Mienshao lead. It uses Fake Out, and the subsequent High Jump Kick takes Durant down to 13 of 164 HP. Entrainment comes as Durant is KOed, and Cloyster is able to set up to +4 (2 Shell Smashes) before Mienshao KOs itself. Magnezone, a slow Steel/Electric type with decent defenses and very high Special Attack comes out next. Icicle Spear can KO it at +6 despite being not very effective, but falls just short at +4. Magnezone takes Cloyster down to 1 HP with Thunderbolt, but luckily Thunderbolt doesn't paralyze Cloyster and it's able to finish off Magnezone and the 3rd Pokemon without taking further damage. Drapion could have finished off Magnezone and this particular 3rd Pokemon (Mandibuzz a defensive Dark/Flying type whose only attacking move is not very effective against Drapion), but that could have been a scary situation. 230. Standard Cloyster victory Battles 231-240 Spoiler 231. Standard Cloyster victory 232. Standard Cloyster victory 233. Muk leads off here. This Poison type has the dreaded move Explosion and the dreaded item Quick Claw. Put them together, and you have Muk using its Quick Claw to use Explosion on Durant before it can even move the first turn. Flareon comes in second, and I switch to Drapion as it uses Fire Fang and switch back to Durant because I know it won't use Fire Fang against Drapion. This allows Durant to use Entrainment and let Cloyster quickly dispatch the final two Pokemon. 234. Standard Cloyster victory 235. Standard Cloyster victory 236. Standard Cloyster victory 237. Standard Cloyster victory 238. The lead here is Forretress a Bug/Steel just like Durant but extremely slow and defensive. Forretress' only means of directly damaging the opponent is through Explosion, but it has three somewhat unique moves in Spikes, Toxic Spikes, and Stealth Rock. These attacks create hazards on the field of play that damage any of my Pokemon whenever they switch in. Spikes and hurt all Pokemon that don't have the Flying type or the Levitate ability, Toxic Spikes automatically poison all non-Flyers/Levitators that can be poisoned, and Stealth Rock can remove anywhere from 1/16th to 1/2 of a Pokemon's HP based on the effective Rock-type moves have against it. All three hazards make Cloyster's Focus Sash useless, so I bring it in after Forretress uses Toxic Spikes on the first turn in order to do as much damage with Cloyster before it succumbs to the poison damage. This time, Cloyster is able to set up to +4 before taking out Forretress in two hits. It KOes the remaining two Pokemon in one turn each. By the end of the rampage, Cloyster had only 2 hit points remaining. 239. Standard Cloyster victory 240. Standard Cloyster victory Battles 241-250 Spoiler 241. Standard Cloyster victory 242. Standard Cloyster victory 243. Standard Cloyster victory 244. Standard Cloyster victory 245. Moltres KOed Durant with Flamethrower on turn 1, so I set up Drapion instead. 246. Standard Cloyster victory 247. Alakazam KOed Durant with Focus Blast on turn 1, so I set up Drapion instead. 248. Standard Cloyster victory 249. Standard Cloyster victory 250. Standard Cloyster victory Battles 251-260 Spoiler 251. Standard Cloyster victory 252. Ninetales KOed Durant with Flamethrower, but I set up Cloyster anyway for a standard win. 253. Standard Cloyster victory, but the lead was Hippowdon with Sand Stream so I had to bring Drapion in for a few turns until the Sandstorm had died down. 254. Standard Cloyster victory 255. Standard Cloyster victory 256. Standard Cloyster victory 257. Standard Cloyster victory 258. Ace Trainer Jai's Chandelure KOs Durant with Heat Wave on turn 1, and I go to Cloyster. 3 Shell Smashes, 2 Protects, and 3 Icicle Spears later, it's a wrap. 259. Aggron came out 3rd and survived Surf with Sturdy. Alas, it used Taunt so Cloyster was scot-free the entire match. 260. Standard Cloyster victory Last edited by nol : 12-17-2014 at 01:20 AM.
