A UU-tier Pokémon battle where the player leads with Bronzong to set up Reflect, switches through Xatu and Hariyama to manage threats, and wins with Ice Punch and Close Combat on Claydol. He walks through each decision and what went wrong.

How's it going guys? I have another UU battle cuz I don't really play OU or anything else really. I like UU cuz it's pretty balanced and all the teams seem pretty fair. So anyways, he leads with his Durant and I don't really see this thing that much, so I don't know what's standard or what to expect. So I'm gonna stand my Bronzong cuz he's pretty bulky and I know he can take a hit. So I set up Reflect so I know I can take one more hit, so between the Ice and my Earthquakes, I'm able to wear down his Durant and kill it. And I was actually pretty afraid because once he got that x2 Attack, I was kinda worried, but I managed to kill him and I got a crit, but it didn't matter. So that ended up working in my favor. I don't really see that Pokémon as a lead, so I didn't really know what to expect. And he Water Pulses me. I didn't have anything to switch into, so I just used Bronzong as the death fodder. And right here I was predicting a switch into his Togekiss, so I used Stone Edge, but he switched into his Claydol, which is okay. So instead of Ice Punching him, I knew he had Stealth Rocks, so I switched into my Xatu to Magic Bounce the Stealth Rocks because Stealth Rocks is pretty deadly against my team. A lot of my Pokémon take 25% damage upon entry because of Stealth Rocks, so I wanted to Magic Bounce him instead of Ice Punching and killing his Claydol and yeah, so I know I can wall his Claydol like anything else in the world so I'm just gonna stay in. He can't really do anything. He does manage to get rid of my rocks but that's not a big problem and I'm just gonna sit in here. Toxic starts to rack up on him and he predicts a Psychic and switches into his Houndoom which is okay. So now I'm gonna Protect just to see what he's using, and he's using Pursuit, which pretty much screws my Xatu. And I tried to switch into my Blastoise, but he killed me before I could. So now I'm just gonna go into my Hariyama and go for the obvious Fake Out Bullet Punch combo. But the Fake Out got a crit, which did not matter, 'cause if the Fake Out didn't kill him, I would've just Bullet Punched him. And again, I did not Ice Punch his Claydol, and I should've Ice Punched him right there. But I switched out, I don't know why. I think I was predicting a double switch or something, but I did— ended up getting a Fire Blast off on his Togekiss and doing that much damage, Fire Blast is gonna be an easy 2-hit KO and I ended up killing his Togekiss pretty easily. So now comes his Slowking and I run Energy Ball on my Chandelier 'cause a lot of people like to go into Water Pokémon and wall him. So I love Energy Ball 'cause a lot of people don't see it coming, and if Slowking wasn't so bulky, it would have killed him really easy. So now I go for the easy Fake Out Bullet Punch combo. I don't think he had anyone to switch into, so he just used his Slowking as death fodder. And so now comes in his Claydol, and finally, after like 4 chances, I finally Ice Punch his Claydol, which I should have done at the very beginning of the game. Instead of letting him set up Stealth Rocks and Rapid Spin my rocks away. So this is his last Pokémon, and I get an easy super effective Close Combat and ended up winning. So thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed, and subscribe if you're not already.
