[UB-01 Kenobi]

I just had my agieslash OHKO'ed by knock off from accelgor in shield form?

That's quite impossible for two reasons.

#1: 252+ Atk Choice Band Accelgor Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0- Def Aegislash-Shield: 182-216 (69.7 - 82.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

#2: Accelgor cannot learn Knock Off.

I would bet my firstborn child that what actually happened was this:

252+ Atk Choice Band Zoroark Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Aegislash-Shield: 318-374 (98.1 - 115.4%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO

 

[The Outrage]

So Day 3 was marked with a series of bad luck (awful crits which cost me matches) and poor decisions. It also doesn't help that I started facing low 1700s (I guess the rating system thought I was good enough???). I fell down to the lower rankings--the difference in how people predict between mid-1600's and low 1500's results in me expecting some brilliant play only to be thrown off guard. I actually lost a battle because of that -.-

I'm halfway through--hoping to get back to mid-1600's but I seriously doubt it since right now I'm floating at high 1500s.

EDIT: I also didn't know why Assurance kept killing me and then I read its description and oh.

EDIT 2:

Final Results
Win: 36 | Lose: 24
Total Battles: 60
Score: 1627-1638*

*Score based on my final score going in. Won the last battle against someone with a score of 1528 so I probably went up.

This is pretty much my win-loss ratio last time I decided to battle. My third last battle was pretty interesting. I looked like I was going to lose, but managed to pull a win despite Dark Void and Mega Kangaskhan. I guess that goes to show--just don't give up and the odds may be in your favor (no but really where were these odds that time both my Pokemon flinched three turns in a row).

Well, final day came and went, and my team managed a 50%-50% W-L ratio. Gonna have to severely overhaul it. I at least hope I managed to get a ranking higher than 1500.

 

[Toa of Gallifrey]

I ended up with a rating in the early 1700s and a 41-19 record. Quite the step-up from my April Friendly results.

 

[Aestivate]

why


i just played the most ridiculous match

my leads: gardevoir kang
their leads: mega-gardevoir yanmega

my gardevoir traces speed boost, then enemy gardevoir traces my speed boost
and then the rest was ridiculous

I made it to #47 in the Junior Division. How do you claim the Enigma Berry? Do you just game sync or something?

 

[pastafari]

I got bored the third day cause all the oponent teams where the same: Kanga-Tyranitar-Garchomp lol
Also, how do you claim the enigma berry?
