I'll kick off!: [Gen 8] National Dex AG replay: A.I was taken vs. WyndonCalling - Pokémon Showdown

So, I'm currently in a draft league with my old university Pokémon society, and my six choices for the battle are almost certainly the best of my full squad of eleven. I'm not usually a 'standard' format player - Gen V Randoms are my bag, baby - so I was definitely caught a little off-guard early on by the power of some of my opponent's team and the tricks that can be pulled off with Parting Shot.

For reference, my draft pick list is:

- Mega Scizor
- Marshadow
- Dragapult
- Chansey
- Galarian Weezing
- Araquanid
- Ditto
- Vileplume
- Spiritomb
- Barbaracle
- Lilligant
