-----------------

Goes to show that when you are up by 2 it is the worst time to underestimate your opponent (cause he could have easily won if he wasn't staying in after Draco Meteor). It also shows Lucario's glory, but that's not the main point.

Nice one. It took me a minute to figure out which battler you were but I got it about halfway through. I don't think I would have gone for 2 SDs, too nervous about crits or whatnot.

[Shadow_Rukario]

Normally I would have been cautious about crits, but I felt I really had nothing to lose at that point.

[zeroality]

Yeah true, I remember being down 2-5 and it was my Scizor vs a Dragonite. I figured I had nothing to lose so I SD and his Fire Blast misses. Then Scizor swept.
