Recap: Pokémon Battles: Satamer and Harry VS Oli and Taylor

A couple of days ago, a couple of the blog group had a mini Pokémon championship to see who really was the very best (that no one ever was). We did it in a multi-battle format over the course of three battles, with a few single battles as well to settle things. The multi battles were Harry and I VS Oli and Taylor with one being a flat battle (like the actual championship) and the other allowing some legends. While my team did emerge victorious in the end, it was close. Here is a recap of the matches and what happened.

First Battle:
Satamer's Team:
Kangaskan, Gardevoir and Talonflame

Harry's Team:
Garchomp, Rotom and Gengar

Taylor's Team:
Articuno, Zoroak and Garchomp

Oli's Team:
Lucario, Manetric and Swampert

How it went:
First turn saw us defeat their Mega Garchomp quite easily (thanks to a Fake Out from my Mega Kangaskan). Ice Beam hits my Mega Kangaskan, making it grab an extra jumper.
Second turn saw nearly Articuno fall to the combined might of Rock Slide and Power-Up Punch while their Swampert kept whittling away the hit points on my Mega Kangaskan.
Third turn and their Articuno fell through the sky from a slide of rocks and my Mega Kangaskan turned it's attention to Swampert, suitably powered up due to 3 Power-Up Punches.
Turn 4 and using a Sucker Punch (comes in handy on a lot of occasions), my Mega Kangaskan dispatches Swampert and Garchomp uses Brick Break to try to defeat the newly spawned Zoroak but to no avail (just) and a Dark Pulse finishes Garchomp off.
Turn 5 and it turns out Mega Kangaskan is faster than a Mega Manetric (by using a Sucker Punch), defeating it and Zoroak falls to a Dazzling Gleam from Gengar.
It's all over in Turn 6 as Lucario falls to the combined might of a Sucker Punch and Dazzling Gleam.

Satamer and Harry 1 - Taylor and Oli 0

Second Battle:
Satamer's Team:
Kangaskan, Gardevoir and Hawlucha

Harry's Team:
Garchomp, Kangaskan and Gengar

Taylor's Team:
Garchomp, Articuno and Darkrai

Oli's Team:
Darkrai, Darkrai (sensing a pattern) and Wigglytuff

How it went:
First turn: Mega Kangaskan and Garchomp destroy 1 Darkrai with Fake Out and Brick Break as their Wigglytuff looks on in despair (and burns Mega Kangaskan with a Fire Blast)
Second Turn: Rockslide nearly defeats Articuno (again) and a Power-Up Punch gets Mega Kangaskan back to full attack after the burn. Articuno manages to get an Ice Beam on Garchomp, defeating it. Wigglytuff got flinched and stood there.
In the third turn, Articuno feels Power-Up Punches wrath, as does Wigglytuff to a Sludge Bomb, with them both going down.
The fourth turn sees the battle start to wind down as another Power-Up Punch finds its mark on the 2nd Darkrai of the game and a Dazzling Gleam finishes it. Mega Garchomp survives the gleam and finally finishes off my Mega Kangaskan.
It's all over in the 5th turn as 2 Dazzling Gleams defeat the Mega Garchomp and the third Darkrai (which actually managed to get off a Dark Void, but missed my Gardevoir!).
