OU replay: Xann5610 vs. TechSupportDitto - Pokémon Showdown

Here's a really good battle I just had that shows how important switching and predicting your opponent can be. Figuring out what to sacrifice and what to preserve along with predicting what his Latios would do in certain spots was critical to me winning. One wrong move and I likely would have lost.

...I don't know why, but I find the end of this replay hilarious. @HeroicFox;

If you are confused and are wondering what happened there...
When my opponent's Reuniclus lost its Magic Guard, which was the only reason it wasn't being damaged by Toxic or Infestation, it was screwed because said Toxic had built up under the Magic Guard. This meant that, once it lost its status protection, the damage from the super-powered Toxic hit it all at once, which, along with Infestation damage, was enough to KO it. At least that's what I think happened. Either way, I find it amusing.

VGC 2016 replay: Nightfront vs. VGC testing alt - Pokémon Showdown
I decided, after theorymonning Cherrim + Primal Groudon in Gravity, to make a team based around Gravity Sableye. This was the result, a fairly good match if I say so.

And in case anyone doubts Primal Groudon's insane power with Flower Gift, take a look at this:
252+ Atk Flower Gift Primal Groudon Helping Hand Precipice Blades vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mew in Harsh Sunshine: 241-285 (137.7 - 162.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
(Just using no bulk mew as a benchmark)
252+ Atk Flower Gift Primal Groudon Helping Hand Precipice Blades vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Breloom in Harsh Sunshine: 144-171 (105.8 - 125.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Can obliterate resists too, and Gravity fixes both the Flying immunity and its accuracy problems.
