I just had this battle today on Shoddy, and it is easily the best one I have had. I just made this new team, deciding to go back to OU after Salamence was banned to try out the new metagame. This was the second battle with my new team. The first resulted in a 5-0 sweep by Breloom and me being called cheap.
Anyway, here we go, my first warstory against rennie101. His team will be posted at the bottom.
My Team
rennie101's moves will look like this.
Dexington's moves will look like this.

Scores will be shown after each KO.
Rules: Ladder Match, Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Evasion Clause, Species Clause, Strict Damage Clause
rennie101 sent out Aerodactyl (lvl 100 Aerodactyl ?).
Dexington sent out Alakazam (lvl 100 Alakazam ?).
So, here we go. I run an anti-lead Zam on this team with a lum berry. He leads with an Aerodactyl, a Pokemon I never quite understood. I can guaruntee he will either Taunt or set up Stealth Rock, and either way the best choice is to go with a Psychic.
Aerodactyl used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!
Alakazam used Psychic.
Aerodactyl lost 71% of its health.
---
So he set up Stealth Rocks and he's faster than me, so he knows I'm not choice scarfed. He will definately attack now, so I switch to my best Aero counter.
Dexington switched in Bronzong (lvl 100 Bronzong).
Pointed stones dug into Bronzong.
Bronzong lost 6% of its health.
Aerodactyl used Stone Edge.
It's not very effective...
Bronzong lost 20% of its health.

Bronzong restored 6% of its health.
---
Bronzong tanks the stone edge. I have two choices here, I could go for a Stealth Rock right now, or finish him off with either attack that isn't Earthquake. Taking him out is the best idea, as if he taunts I have wasted a turn. I go for the Gyro Ball.
Aerodactyl used Taunt.
Bronzong fell for the taunt!
Bronzong used Gyro Ball.
It's super effective!
Aerodactyl lost 29% of its health.

rennie101 switched in Breloom (lvl 100 Breloom ?).
Down goes Aerodactyl, though that's his whole purpose I guess. In comes Breloom. Now, I am still taunted with Bronzong and none of my attacks will A) strike first or B) OHKO Breloom. So I switch to the one thing I know can take the Spore.
Dexington switched in Alakazam (lvl 100 Alakazam ?).
Pointed stones dug into Alakazam.
Alakazam lost 12% of its health.
Breloom used Spore.
Alakazam fell asleep!
Alakazam's Lum Berry cured its Sleep!
Breloom was badly poisoned!
---
Exactly as planned. Breloom always Spore first. I decide to go for the Psychic here as I don't know what else he has on his team. If he stays in, Breloom's gone, if he switches, I hopefully dent something.
rennie101 switched in Cresselia (lvl 100 Cresselia ?).
Alakazam used Psychic.
It's not very effective...
Cresselia lost 15% of its health.
Cresselia's leftovers restored its health a little!
Cresselia restored 6% of its health.
---
I did not expect Cress though. She shrugs off the Psychic and I am not sure what to do. I hadn't faced many of these before, so I'm unsure as to what it is running. After looking at the analysis, I bring in Heatran, thinking that Cress can't really hurt it.
Dexington switched in Heatran (lvl 100 Heatran ?).
Pointed stones dug into Heatran.
Heatran lost 12% of its health.
Cresselia used Calm Mind.

By now, I assume he has no attack that can take out Cresselia, so I go for Torment, to at least stop him from CMing.

Cresselia used Calm Mind.
Cresselia's special attack was raised.

---
Get it on the second try. Unfortunately, he is now at +5 special attack and defense. This turns into a long stall war, which I will hide for the sake of people who don't want to read.
---
So, after all of that, no progress has been made. Cress has lost a lot of PP and Heatran is still close to 100% HP.
Heatran used Lava Plume.
Cresselia lost 7% of its health.

During that entire stall war, I was analyzing when he was using Moonlight to heal and predicted that he would do so this turn. I go to Bronzong who hopefully can survive a +5 Shadow Ball.

Bronzong goes down, and as was the plan earlier, Gyarados will come in to clean up on Cress. I do run an offensive DD Gyarados, but I can't DD now or he will KO me with Psychic, whether or not he thinks he's Tormented still. Waterfall will do it.
Dexington switched in Gyarados (lvl 100 Gyarados ?).
Gyarados's Intimidate cut Cresselia's attack!
Pointed stones dug into Gyarados.
Gyarados lost 25% of its health.

---
rennie101 switched in Machamp (lvl 100 Machamp ?).
In comes Machamp. I can't switch in Alakazam, because any attack from a Champ will easily KO a Zam. I decide to go for the DD, hoping he isn't packing Stone Edge.
Gyarados used Dragon Dance.
Gyarados's attack was raised.
Gyarados's speed was raised.
Machamp used Dynamicpunch.
It's not very effective...
Gyarados lost 27% of its health.
Gyarados became confused!
Gyarados's leftovers restored its health a little!
Gyarados restored 6% of its health.
---
So, I'm at +1 attack and speed and confused. If I hit myself in confusion, it is going to hurt. I have to go for it though and hope that I don't get haxed.
Gyarados is confused!
Gyarados used Waterfall.
Machamp lost 58% of its health.
Machamp flinched!
Gyarados's leftovers restored its health a little!
Gyarados restored 6% of its health.

Even better than me not getting haxed, he got super haxed! Not only did I hit him, but he flinched too. Things are looking up!

Gyarados lost 27% of its health.
Machamp used Stone Edge.
It's super effective!
Gyarados lost 39% of its health.
Dexington's Gyarados fainted.
(4-4)
---
And then he reveals that he does indeed have Stone Edge. Why he didn't use it in the first place is beyond me, but it doesn't matter. I make up for the previous hax by destroying myself. In comes Alakazam to clean up the mess.
Dexington switched in Alakazam (lvl 100 Alakazam ?).
Pointed stones dug into Alakazam.
Alakazam lost 12% of its health.

Steelix's leftovers restored its health a little!
Steelix restored 6% of its health.
---
He switches in his unrevealed Steelix to take the Psychic, which still does a very decent amount of damage. I run HP ground on my team to hopefully deal with any Heatran who think they can beat Zam, and I know it'll be able to KO Steelix if Psychic did 36%
Alakazam used Hidden Power.
It's super effective!
Steelix lost 70% of its health.
rennie101's Steelix fainted.
(3-4)
---
rennie101 switched in Dugtrio (lvl 100 Dugtrio ?).
Steelix is dead, and in comes revenge killer extraordinaire Dugtrio. I assume that I won't be able to switch out due to Arena Trap and go for the Psychic, knowing that I'm screwed here.
Dugtrio used Sucker Punch.
It's super effective!
Alakazam lost 75% of its health.
Dexington's Alakazam fainted.
(3-3)
---
Dexington switched in Breloom (lvl 100 Breloom ?).
Alakazam goes down valiantly and I bring in Breloom, hoping to Spore that Dugtrio or his Machamp.
Pointed stones dug into Breloom.
Breloom lost 6% of its health.
rennie101 switched in Breloom (lvl 100 Breloom ?).
Breloom used Spore.
But it failed!
Breloom's Poison Heal restored health!
Breloom was badly poisoned!
---
And I forgot about his Breloom. This is an interesting matchup. I don't want anything to take a Spore now or be Focus Punch bait if he gets a sub up instead. I decide to go for a sub of my own. For the purposes of this next part, I will remove colouring so you guys get the same effect I did.
Breloom used Substitute.

---
Yet he does the same thing, and we finally find out who was going first. He was. My Breloom just got completely wrecked. I hope that he only runs Focus Punch as an attack and has Leech Seed in his last slot. I go for a Seed Bomb to break his focus.
Breloom used Seed Bomb.
It's not very effective...
Breloom lost 14% of its health.
Dexington's Breloom fainted.
(3-2)
Breloom's Poison Heal restored health!
---
And he does the same. We had identical movesets. Either he dumped a few EV's in speed or got very lucky with the speed ties. I bring out Heatran to force the switch and substitute.
Dexington switched in Heatran (lvl 100 Heatran ?).
Pointed stones dug into Heatran.

He switches in Machamp, probably to break the sub so that Dugtrio can clean up. I protect to scout the obvious Dynamic Punch and gain a bit of health.
Heatran used Protect.
Heatran protected itself!
Machamp used Dynamicpunch.
Heatran protected itself!
Heatran's leftovers restored its health a little!
Heatran restored 6% of its health.
---
Obviously. Now, here is where I mess up. Instead of Tormenting him so he can't keep spamming DynamicPunch, I decide to take him out with Lava Plume. Had I tormented, I would've kept my sub up and could have ended this very easily. But, hindsight is always 20/20.
Heatran used Lava Plume.
Machamp lost 37% of its health.
Machamp used Dynamicpunch.
It's super effective!
The substitute took damage for Heatran!
Heatran's substitute faded!

And lava plume for the KO. Now comes Dugtrio for the revenge kill. I protect to scout the again obvious Earthquake and recover some more.
Heatran used Protect.
Heatran protected itself!
Dugtrio used Earthquake.
Heatran protected itself!
Heatran's leftovers restored its health a little!
Heatran restored 6% of its health.
---
Remember back when Sucker Punch KO'd Zam? I didn't even try switching out then, assuming that he had Arena Trap. I figured I'd give it a shot now because I did not want Heatran to die.
Dexington switched in Heracross (lvl 100 Heracross ?).
Pointed stones dug into Heracross.
Heracross lost 12% of its health.
Dugtrio used Earthquake.
It's not very effective...
Heracross lost 45% of its health.
---
Wow, it worked. However, bad news, Dugtrio is choice banded because he did a hefty amount of damage to Heracross. Hera has 44% left and Dugtrio just did 45%. I am fully prepared to lose here, but go for the close combat anyway.
Dugtrio used Earthquake.
It's not very effective...
Heracross lost 43% of its health.

Dexington: zomg 1 hp
rennie101: lol this was 1 of the best games ive had on shoddy gg
Dexington: yeah man same to you
---
As I say in game, ZOMG! I really did have 1 HP left. Now you know why this is called "with the roll of a dice". Now it's just Heracross and Heatran vs. Breloom. Megahorn and CC have the same base power, so I go with Megahorn, assuming that it will have enough to KO Breloom, who is at full health. I can't switch, or Heatran gets spored and I lose anyway.
rennie101 switched in Breloom (lvl 100 Breloom ?).
Heracross used Megahorn.
Breloom lost 98% of its health.
Breloom used Spore.

Breloom used Spore.
But it failed!
Breloom's Poison Heal restored health!
Breloom restored 12% of its health.
---
Had I switched there, I would have won, due to the sleep clause. Heatran would have stayed awake and KO'd with lava plume. But I really didn't think he would have done something that dumb. I keep trying to break the sleep now so that Heatran won't have to deal with this inevitable substitute.
Heracross is fast asleep!
Breloom used Substitute.
Breloom lost 25% of its health.

rennie101: epic
Dexington: gg, im saving this one
Rennie's Team
Now, after this match I went and checked the damage of my Heracross' Megahorn against the standard SporePunching Breloom.
Megahorn does 95.5% to 112.5% damage. This battle was THAT close to being won for me. Either way, it was a great battle and thank you to my opponent for giving me my best match yet!
Props
-A decently low amount of Hax throughout the game.
-Alakazam for successful use of his lum berry.
-The entire Bronzong/Cresselia/Heatran situation.
-His Breloom for finishing it up in the end.
-Dugtrio, for revenge killing successfully.
Slops
-Me, for not trying to switch out of Dugtrio and not using Torment on Machamp when I had the chance.
-Him, not realizing when Torment was over.
-The entire Gyarados/Machamp situation. Bad hax and he didn't use Stone Edge for some reason.
-Heracross, for not being able to KO Breloom.
-Steelix, for doing absolutely nothing.
Anyway, here we go, my first warstory against rennie101. His team will be posted at the bottom.

So, here we go. I run an anti-lead Zam on this team with a lum berry. He leads with an Aerodactyl, a Pokemon I never quite understood. I can guaruntee he will either Taunt or set up Stealth Rock, and either way the best choice is to go with a Psychic.

During that entire stall war, I was analyzing when he was using Moonlight to heal and predicted that he would do so this turn. I go to Bronzong who hopefully can survive a +5 Shadow Ball.

Bronzong goes down, and as was the plan earlier, Gyarados will come in to clean up on Cress. I do run an offensive DD Gyarados, but I can't DD now or he will KO me with Psychic, whether or not he thinks he's Tormented still. Waterfall will do it.

And then he reveals that he does indeed have Stone Edge. Why he didn't use it in the first place is beyond me, but it doesn't matter. I make up for the previous hax by destroying myself. In comes Alakazam to clean up the mess.
Dexington switched in Alakazam (lvl 100 Alakazam ?).

He switches in his unrevealed Steelix to take the Psychic, which still does a very decent amount of damage. I run HP ground on my team to hopefully deal with any Heatran who think they can beat Zam, and I know it'll be able to KO Steelix if Psychic did 36%
Alakazam used Hidden Power.

rennie101 switched in Dugtrio (lvl 100 Dugtrio ?).
Steelix is dead, and in comes revenge killer extraordinaire Dugtrio. I assume that I won't be able to switch out due to Arena Trap and go for the Psychic, knowing that I'm screwed here.
Dugtrio used Sucker Punch.
It's super effective!
Alakazam lost 75% of its health.

Breloom lost 6% of its health.
rennie101 switched in Breloom (lvl 100 Breloom ?).
Breloom used Spore.
But it failed!

And I forgot about his Breloom. This is an interesting matchup. I don't want anything to take a Spore now or be Focus Punch bait if he gets a sub up instead. I decide to go for a sub of my own. For the purposes of this next part, I will remove colouring so you guys get the same effect I did.

Obviously. Now, here is where I mess up. Instead of Tormenting him so he can't keep spamming DynamicPunch, I decide to take him out with Lava Plume. Had I tormented, I would've kept my sub up and could have ended this very easily. But, hindsight is always 20/20.

As I say in game, ZOMG! I really did have 1 HP left. Now you know why this is called "with the roll of a dice". Now it's just Heracross and Heatran vs. Breloom. Megahorn and CC have the same base power, so I go with Megahorn, assuming that it will have enough to KO Breloom, who is at full health. I can't switch, or Heatran gets spored and I lose anyway.

Had I switched there, I would have won, due to the sleep clause. Heatran would have stayed awake and KO'd with lava plume. But I really didn't think he would have done something that dumb. I keep trying to break the sleep now so that Heatran won't have to deal with this inevitable substitute.

Rennie's Team
Now, after this match I went and checked the damage of my Heracross' Megahorn against the standard SporePunching Breloom.
Megahorn does 95.5% to 112.5% damage. This battle was THAT close to being won for me. Either way, it was a great battle and thank you to my opponent for giving me my best match yet!
Props
-A decently low amount of Hax throughout the game.
-Alakazam for successful use of his lum berry.
-The entire Bronzong/Cresselia/Heatran situation.
-His Breloom for finishing it up in the end.
-Dugtrio, for revenge killing successfully.
Slops
-Me, for not trying to switch out of Dugtrio and not using Torment on Machamp when I had the chance.
-Him, not realizing when Torment was over.
-The entire Gyarados/Machamp situation. Bad hax and he didn't use Stone Edge for some reason.
-Heracross, for not being able to KO Breloom.
-Steelix, for doing absolutely nothing.
