I'll bold in red my thoughts during the match for those that it may help. This is a good example of the differences in skill/experience in RBY, despite how simplistic the game can be sometimes.

t3h Icy vs brookman(rby). Begin!
t3h Icy sent out Starmie (Lv.100 Starmie)!
brookman(rby) sent out Zam (Lv.100 Alakazam)!
He just watched me switch to Jynx against Alakazam lead when I played Garrin, so I assume he won't do the same thing.
Begin Turn #1
brookman(rby) withdrew brookman(rby)'s Zam!
brookman(rby) sent out Gar (Lv.100 Gengar)!
---------------------------------
t3h Icy's Starmie used Psychic!
(53% damage)
It's super effective!
---------------------------------
End of turn #1
t3h Icy's Starmie: 323 HP
brookman(rby)'s Gar: 47% HP
brookman(rby): dam :]
t3h Icy: you can't outpredict me =)
brookman(rby): haha
brookman(rby): i just shouldnt second guess
t3h Icy: I pay attention to everything
Being in damage range, he's expecting Psychic. However, it would be foolish to let Gengar die when someone can just take a hit (such as Chansey), so it's almost certain he'll switch. So I use Blizzard, to freeze attempt Chansey, etc or hit Exeggutor hard. In the worst case where he doesn't switch, I get Thunderbolted, exploded on or hit by Hypnosis, all of which are fine vs Starmie.
Begin Turn #2
brookman(rby) withdrew brookman(rby)'s Gar!
brookman(rby) sent out eggi (Lv.100 Exeggutor)!
---------------------------------
t3h Icy's Starmie used Blizzard!
(39% damage)
It's super effective!
---------------------------------
t3h Icy: I adapt to everything
End of turn #2
t3h Icy's Starmie: 323 HP
brookman(rby)'s eggi: 61% HP
t3h Icy: you have to play really smart if you want to avoid that
Same as last turn, and since Exeggutor can survive another Blizzard, he may stay.
Begin Turn #3
brookman(rby) withdrew brookman(rby)'s eggi!
brookman(rby) sent out Zam (Lv.100 Alakazam)!
---------------------------------
t3h Icy's Starmie used Blizzard!
(24% damage)
---------------------------------
End of turn #3
t3h Icy's Starmie: 323 HP
brookman(rby)'s Zam: 76% HP
Now I'll go to Jynx.
Begin Turn #4
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Starmie!
t3h Icy sent out Jynx (Lv.100 Jynx)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby) withdrew brookman(rby)'s Zam!
brookman(rby) sent out brick house (Lv.100 Chansey)!
---------------------------------
End of turn #4
t3h Icy's Jynx: 333 HP
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 100% HP
Gengar is banged up and is still useful for taking Explosions when Sleeping, so I fish for Gengar. If he stays to use Thunder Wave or Thunderbolt, I'll use Lovely Kiss next turn. Any other switches are fine since Jynx is at full (such as Tauros).
Begin Turn #5
t3h Icy's Jynx used Psychic!
(14% damage)
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s brick house used Sing!
t3h Icy's Jynx fell asleep!
---------------------------------
End of turn #5
t3h Icy's Jynx: 333 HP (Slp)
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 86% HP
t3h Icy: ooo
Not expecting Sing, I switch to Alakazam now to fight Chansey.
Begin Turn #6
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Jynx!
t3h Icy sent out Alakazam (Lv.100 Alakazam)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s brick house used Thunderbolt!
(64 damage)
---------------------------------
End of turn #6
t3h Icy's Alakazam: 249 HP
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 86% HP
Since Jynx is at full, she may be able to put something to sleep later, so I'll attack this turn in case he switches to something to absorb Sleep (assuming he expects Thunder Wave).
Begin Turn #7
t3h Icy's Alakazam used Psychic!
(18% damage)
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s brick house used Ice Beam!
(65 damage)
---------------------------------
End of turn #7
t3h Icy's Alakazam: 184 HP
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 68% HP
He's likely staying at this point and going to continue trying to Freeze.
Begin Turn #8
t3h Icy's Alakazam used Thunder Wave!
brookman(rby)'s brick house is paralyzed! It may be unable to move!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s brick house used Ice Beam!
(68 damage)
---------------------------------
End of turn #8
t3h Icy's Alakazam: 116 HP
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 68% HP (Par)
He hasn't healed at this point, so I'll take this turn to get Reflect up. Full Paralysis will help protect from possible Freezes.
Begin Turn #9
t3h Icy's Alakazam used Reflect!
t3h Icy's team's Reflect raised Defense!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s brick house used Ice Beam!
(60 damage)
---------------------------------
End of turn #9
t3h Icy's Alakazam: 56 HP
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 68% HP (Par)
Time to heal.
Begin Turn #10
t3h Icy's Alakazam used Recover!
t3h Icy's Alakazam regained health!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s brick house used Softboiled!
brookman(rby)'s brick house regained health!
---------------------------------
End of turn #10
t3h Icy's Alakazam: 212 HP
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 100% HP (Par)
And resume the combos of Special Falls, Critical Hits and Full Paralysis.
Begin Turn #11
t3h Icy's Alakazam used Psychic!
(18% damage)
brookman(rby)'s brick house's Special fell!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s brick house used Ice Beam!
(41 damage)
---------------------------------
End of turn #11
t3h Icy's Alakazam: 171 HP
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 82% HP (Par)
Begin Turn #12
t3h Icy's Alakazam used Psychic!
(28% damage)
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s brick house used Ice Beam!
(44 damage)
t3h Icy's Alakazam was frozen solid!
---------------------------------
End of turn #12
t3h Icy's Alakazam: 127 HP (Frz)
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 54% HP (Par)
I get frozen, but that's okay. Since Chansey is at 54%, I decide to go to Snorlax in the case he uses Thunder Wave or is Fully Paralyzed. If he switches, Snorlax can take anything except Gengar safely. In the case of Gengar, I can sacrifice Alakazam, since his Chansey wouldn't have healed due to a switch, so a second Freeze is unlikely.
Begin Turn #13
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Alakazam!
t3h Icy sent out Snorlax (Lv.100 Snorlax)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby) withdrew brookman(rby)'s brick house!
brookman(rby) sent out smarmie (Lv.100 Starmie)!
---------------------------------
End of turn #13
t3h Icy's Snorlax: 523 HP
brookman(rby)'s smarmie: 100% HP
I decided to go to Chansey as he's likely not comfortable with trying to be a step ahead of me. In the case of Gengar, I have Alakazam to sacrifice.
Begin Turn #14
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Snorlax!
t3h Icy sent out Chansey (Lv.100 Chansey)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s smarmie used Thunderbolt!
(77 damage)
---------------------------------
End of turn #14
t3h Icy's Chansey: 626 HP
brookman(rby)'s smarmie: 100% HP
t3h Icy: the cool thing is when you spend many turns predicting your opponent
t3h Icy: you can safely do the obvious without the opponent being ready for it
t3h Icy: Chansey is an obvious switch to Starmie, but I have you guessing yourself now
t3h Icy: =)
t3h Icy: you're my bitch
brookman(rby): i didnt even think about it
brookman(rby): ironically
brookman(rby): so i guess you're right
He's not keeping Starmie in and I expect Gengar or Alakazam. Against either, Starmie is safe. I don't imagine him being risky enough to use Tauros since there's a Thunder Wave risk.
Begin Turn #15
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Chansey!
t3h Icy sent out Starmie (Lv.100 Starmie)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby) withdrew brookman(rby)'s smarmie!
brookman(rby) sent out Zam (Lv.100 Alakazam)!
---------------------------------
t3h Icy: in any case, I'm getting stuff done
End of turn #15
t3h Icy's Starmie: 323 HP
brookman(rby)'s Zam: 76% HP
Here's an opportunity to wake up Jynx. If he switches while I try to wake her, I can sacrifice Alakazam.
Begin Turn #16
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Starmie!
t3h Icy sent out Jynx (Lv.100 Jynx)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s Zam used Thunder Wave!
But it failed!
---------------------------------
End of turn #16
t3h Icy's Jynx: 333 HP (Slp)
brookman(rby)'s Zam: 76% HP
Inf''rnum. has started watching.
Begin Turn #17
brookman(rby)'s Zam used Reflect!
brookman(rby)'s team's Reflect raised Defense!
---------------------------------
t3h Icy's Jynx is fast asleep.
---------------------------------
End of turn #17
t3h Icy's Jynx: 333 HP (Slp)
brookman(rby)'s Zam: 76% HP
I don't see why he used Reflect, unless he's predicting I go to Snorlax or Tauros. He may be somewhat tempted to stay in place now and just attack.
Begin Turn #18
brookman(rby) withdrew brookman(rby)'s Zam!
brookman(rby) sent out Gar (Lv.100 Gengar)!
---------------------------------
t3h Icy's Jynx woke up!
---------------------------------
End of turn #18
t3h Icy's Jynx: 333 HP
brookman(rby)'s Gar: 47% HP
Time to sacrifice Alakazam.
Begin Turn #19
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Jynx!
t3h Icy sent out Alakazam (Lv.100 Alakazam)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s Gar used Hypnosis!
But it failed!
---------------------------------
End of turn #19
t3h Icy's Alakazam: 127 HP (Frz)
brookman(rby)'s Gar: 47% HP
WaterWizard has started watching.
He's starting to get into the habit of attacking what he sees and I doubt he'll use Explosion. Since Starmie is full, a switch into Thunderbolt is safe and then I can finish off Gengar or pressure a switch.
Begin Turn #20
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Alakazam!
t3h Icy sent out Starmie (Lv.100 Starmie)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s Gar used Mega Drain!
(72 damage)
It's super effective!
t3h Icy's Starmie had its energy drained!
---------------------------------
End of turn #20
t3h Icy's Starmie: 251 HP
brookman(rby)'s Gar: 58% HP
Mega Drain was interesting, but he's still in Psychic range. Since he'll assume I use Psychic, he'll either go Chansey or Exeggutor. In the case of Chansey, I have Snorlax and in the case of Exeggutor, if I get a Special Fall or a Critical in either of the next two turns, I can 2HKO him with a following Blizzard.
Begin Turn #21
brookman(rby) withdrew brookman(rby)'s Gar!
brookman(rby) sent out eggi (Lv.100 Exeggutor)!
---------------------------------
t3h Icy's Starmie used Psychic!
(22% damage)
A critical hit!
It's not very effective...
---------------------------------
End of turn #21
t3h Icy's Starmie: 251 HP
brookman(rby)'s eggi: 39% HP
Exeggutor's now in range for Blizzard. Perhaps he'll switch to Chansey, but again, I have Snorlax.
Begin Turn #22
t3h Icy's Starmie used Blizzard!
(39% damage)
It's super effective!
brookman(rby)'s eggi fainted!
brookman(rby) sent out brick house (Lv.100 Chansey)!
---------------------------------
End of turn #22
t3h Icy's Starmie: 251 HP
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 54% HP (Par)
Here's Chansey. I expect Thunder Wave and I'd rather not let Snorlax be hit by Paralysis, since then he'll heal after. I attack with Psychic in the case of a Special Fall or a semi-useful Critical Hit.
Begin Turn #23
t3h Icy's Starmie used Psychic!
(15% damage)
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s brick house used Softboiled!
brookman(rby)'s brick house regained health!
---------------------------------
End of turn #23
t3h Icy's Starmie: 251 HP
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 89% HP (Par)
Time to go to Snorlax.
Begin Turn #24
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Starmie!
t3h Icy sent out Snorlax (Lv.100 Snorlax)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s brick house used Sing!
brookman(rby)'s brick house's attack missed!
---------------------------------
End of turn #24
t3h Icy's Snorlax: 523 HP
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 89% HP (Par)
I honestly forgot about that, but it missed anyway. Since the chance of not FPing and hitting with Sing, is only 41.25%, I take the risk. Since he may go Gengar and I can still 2HKO with Earthquake, I choose that. Exeggutor is also dead so there's no worry of that. I'm also Counter-safe if he uses that.
Begin Turn #25
t3h Icy's Snorlax used Earthquake!
(35% damage)
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s brick house used Sing!
brookman(rby)'s brick house's attack missed!
---------------------------------
End of turn #25
t3h Icy's Snorlax: 523 HP
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 54% HP (Par)
It misses, yay. Now the decision between Earthquake and Hyper Beam. Starmie is still healthy enough to take a Thunderbolt, and I'd rather not risk Sing for another turn.
Begin Turn #26
t3h Icy's Snorlax used Hyper Beam!
(54% damage)
A critical hit!
brookman(rby)'s brick house fainted!
brookman(rby): zzz
brookman(rby) sent out Gar (Lv.100 Gengar)!
---------------------------------
End of turn #26
t3h Icy's Snorlax: 523 HP
brookman(rby)'s Gar: 58% HP
He'll either use Thunderbolt or Hypnosis and in either case, Starmie can take them. If Starmie is fine after the following turn, I can finish off Gengar.
Begin Turn #27
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Snorlax!
t3h Icy sent out Starmie (Lv.100 Starmie)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s Gar used Hypnosis!
brookman(rby)'s Gar's attack missed!

End of turn #27
t3h Icy's Starmie: 251 HP
brookman(rby)'s Gar: 58% HP

t3h Icy's Starmie used Psychic!
(59% damage)
It's super effective!
brookman(rby)'s Gar fainted!
brookman(rby) sent out smarmie (Lv.100 Starmie)!
---------------------------------
End of turn #28
t3h Icy's Starmie: 251 HP
brookman(rby)'s smarmie: 100% HP
Starmie still has expendable HP and I want to fish for Thunder Wave so I can switch to Jynx without Paralysis/Starmie healing. I hope that his Starmie doesn't get a Critical Hit, but in that case, Jynx will have to deal.
Begin Turn #29
brookman(rby)'s smarmie used Thunderbolt!
(154 damage)
It's super effective!
---------------------------------
t3h Icy's Starmie used Thunderbolt!
(46% damage)
It's super effective!
---------------------------------
End of turn #29
t3h Icy's Starmie: 97 HP
brookman(rby)'s smarmie: 54% HP
He's likely not using Thunder Wave.
Begin Turn #30
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Starmie!
t3h Icy sent out Jynx (Lv.100 Jynx)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s smarmie used Thunderbolt!
(83 damage)
---------------------------------
End of turn #30
t3h Icy's Jynx: 250 HP
brookman(rby)'s smarmie: 54% HP
His remaining Pokemon have no status, so Lovely Kiss is safe. Either of the three (the third I'm assuming Tauros) asleep is helpful.
Begin Turn #31
brookman(rby) withdrew brookman(rby)'s smarmie!
brookman(rby) sent out Zam (Lv.100 Alakazam)!
---------------------------------
t3h Icy's Jynx used Lovely Kiss!
brookman(rby)'s Zam fell asleep!
---------------------------------
End of turn #31
t3h Icy's Jynx: 250 HP
brookman(rby)'s Zam: 76% HP (Slp)
He probably won't risk Blizzard so he won't go Tauros, thus I'll go Chansey. If he goes to Tauros, I'll Paralyze and follow-up with Snorlax or Tauros. If he stays with Zam, I'll switch the next turn.
Begin Turn #32
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Jynx!
t3h Icy sent out Chansey (Lv.100 Chansey)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby) withdrew brookman(rby)'s Zam!
brookman(rby) sent out smarmie (Lv.100 Starmie)!
---------------------------------
End of turn #32
t3h Icy's Chansey: 626 HP
brookman(rby)'s smarmie: 54% HP
He knows he can't win this match-up, and he may also fear an oncoming Thunder Wave, which he doesn't want his Tauros hit by, especially since I have a huge lead on him. He'll likely be off to Zam, so I'll go with Snorlax. I don't want to risk Tauros in case he keeps Starmie out.
Begin Turn #33
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Chansey!
t3h Icy sent out Snorlax (Lv.100 Snorlax)!

t3h Icy vs brookman(rby). Begin!
t3h Icy sent out Starmie (Lv.100 Starmie)!
brookman(rby) sent out Zam (Lv.100 Alakazam)!
He just watched me switch to Jynx against Alakazam lead when I played Garrin, so I assume he won't do the same thing.

t3h Icy: I pay attention to everything
Being in damage range, he's expecting Psychic. However, it would be foolish to let Gengar die when someone can just take a hit (such as Chansey), so it's almost certain he'll switch. So I use Blizzard, to freeze attempt Chansey, etc or hit Exeggutor hard. In the worst case where he doesn't switch, I get Thunderbolted, exploded on or hit by Hypnosis, all of which are fine vs Starmie.

Now I'll go to Jynx.
Begin Turn #4
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Starmie!
t3h Icy sent out Jynx (Lv.100 Jynx)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby) withdrew brookman(rby)'s Zam!
brookman(rby) sent out brick house (Lv.100 Chansey)!
---------------------------------
End of turn #4
t3h Icy's Jynx: 333 HP
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 100% HP
Gengar is banged up and is still useful for taking Explosions when Sleeping, so I fish for Gengar. If he stays to use Thunder Wave or Thunderbolt, I'll use Lovely Kiss next turn. Any other switches are fine since Jynx is at full (such as Tauros).
Begin Turn #5
t3h Icy's Jynx used Psychic!
(14% damage)
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s brick house used Sing!
t3h Icy's Jynx fell asleep!
---------------------------------
End of turn #5
t3h Icy's Jynx: 333 HP (Slp)
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 86% HP
t3h Icy: ooo
Not expecting Sing, I switch to Alakazam now to fight Chansey.
Begin Turn #6
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Jynx!
t3h Icy sent out Alakazam (Lv.100 Alakazam)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s brick house used Thunderbolt!
(64 damage)
---------------------------------
End of turn #6
t3h Icy's Alakazam: 249 HP
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 86% HP
Since Jynx is at full, she may be able to put something to sleep later, so I'll attack this turn in case he switches to something to absorb Sleep (assuming he expects Thunder Wave).
Begin Turn #7
t3h Icy's Alakazam used Psychic!
(18% damage)
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s brick house used Ice Beam!
(65 damage)
---------------------------------
End of turn #7
t3h Icy's Alakazam: 184 HP
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 68% HP
He's likely staying at this point and going to continue trying to Freeze.
Begin Turn #8
t3h Icy's Alakazam used Thunder Wave!
brookman(rby)'s brick house is paralyzed! It may be unable to move!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s brick house used Ice Beam!
(68 damage)
---------------------------------
End of turn #8
t3h Icy's Alakazam: 116 HP
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 68% HP (Par)
He hasn't healed at this point, so I'll take this turn to get Reflect up. Full Paralysis will help protect from possible Freezes.
Begin Turn #9
t3h Icy's Alakazam used Reflect!
t3h Icy's team's Reflect raised Defense!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s brick house used Ice Beam!
(60 damage)
---------------------------------
End of turn #9
t3h Icy's Alakazam: 56 HP
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 68% HP (Par)
Time to heal.

And resume the combos of Special Falls, Critical Hits and Full Paralysis.

t3h Icy's Alakazam was frozen solid!
---------------------------------
End of turn #12
t3h Icy's Alakazam: 127 HP (Frz)
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 54% HP (Par)
I get frozen, but that's okay. Since Chansey is at 54%, I decide to go to Snorlax in the case he uses Thunder Wave or is Fully Paralyzed. If he switches, Snorlax can take anything except Gengar safely. In the case of Gengar, I can sacrifice Alakazam, since his Chansey wouldn't have healed due to a switch, so a second Freeze is unlikely.
Begin Turn #13
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Alakazam!
t3h Icy sent out Snorlax (Lv.100 Snorlax)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby) withdrew brookman(rby)'s brick house!

---------------------------------
End of turn #13
t3h Icy's Snorlax: 523 HP
brookman(rby)'s smarmie: 100% HP
I decided to go to Chansey as he's likely not comfortable with trying to be a step ahead of me. In the case of Gengar, I have Alakazam to sacrifice.
Begin Turn #14
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Snorlax!
t3h Icy sent out Chansey (Lv.100 Chansey)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s smarmie used Thunderbolt!
(77 damage)
---------------------------------
End of turn #14
t3h Icy's Chansey: 626 HP
brookman(rby)'s smarmie: 100% HP
t3h Icy: the cool thing is when you spend many turns predicting your opponent
t3h Icy: you can safely do the obvious without the opponent being ready for it
t3h Icy: Chansey is an obvious switch to Starmie, but I have you guessing yourself now
t3h Icy: =)
t3h Icy: you're my bitch
brookman(rby): i didnt even think about it
brookman(rby): ironically
brookman(rby): so i guess you're right
He's not keeping Starmie in and I expect Gengar or Alakazam. Against either, Starmie is safe. I don't imagine him being risky enough to use Tauros since there's a Thunder Wave risk.
Begin Turn #15
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Chansey!
t3h Icy sent out Starmie (Lv.100 Starmie)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby) withdrew brookman(rby)'s smarmie!

---------------------------------
t3h Icy: in any case, I'm getting stuff done
End of turn #15
t3h Icy's Starmie: 323 HP
brookman(rby)'s Zam: 76% HP
Here's an opportunity to wake up Jynx. If he switches while I try to wake her, I can sacrifice Alakazam.
Begin Turn #16
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Starmie!
t3h Icy sent out Jynx (Lv.100 Jynx)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s Zam used Thunder Wave!
But it failed!
---------------------------------
End of turn #16
t3h Icy's Jynx: 333 HP (Slp)
brookman(rby)'s Zam: 76% HP
Inf''rnum. has started watching.
Begin Turn #17
brookman(rby)'s Zam used Reflect!
brookman(rby)'s team's Reflect raised Defense!
---------------------------------
t3h Icy's Jynx is fast asleep.
---------------------------------
End of turn #17
t3h Icy's Jynx: 333 HP (Slp)
brookman(rby)'s Zam: 76% HP
I don't see why he used Reflect, unless he's predicting I go to Snorlax or Tauros. He may be somewhat tempted to stay in place now and just attack.
Begin Turn #18
brookman(rby) withdrew brookman(rby)'s Zam!
brookman(rby) sent out Gar (Lv.100 Gengar)!
---------------------------------
t3h Icy's Jynx woke up!
---------------------------------
End of turn #18
t3h Icy's Jynx: 333 HP
brookman(rby)'s Gar: 47% HP
Time to sacrifice Alakazam.
Begin Turn #19
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Jynx!
t3h Icy sent out Alakazam (Lv.100 Alakazam)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s Gar used Hypnosis!
But it failed!
---------------------------------
End of turn #19
t3h Icy's Alakazam: 127 HP (Frz)
brookman(rby)'s Gar: 47% HP
WaterWizard has started watching.
He's starting to get into the habit of attacking what he sees and I doubt he'll use Explosion. Since Starmie is full, a switch into Thunderbolt is safe and then I can finish off Gengar or pressure a switch.
Begin Turn #20
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Alakazam!
t3h Icy sent out Starmie (Lv.100 Starmie)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s Gar used Mega Drain!
(72 damage)
It's super effective!
t3h Icy's Starmie had its energy drained!
---------------------------------
End of turn #20
t3h Icy's Starmie: 251 HP
brookman(rby)'s Gar: 58% HP
Mega Drain was interesting, but he's still in Psychic range. Since he'll assume I use Psychic, he'll either go Chansey or Exeggutor. In the case of Chansey, I have Snorlax and in the case of Exeggutor, if I get a Special Fall or a Critical in either of the next two turns, I can 2HKO him with a following Blizzard.
Begin Turn #21
brookman(rby) withdrew brookman(rby)'s Gar!
brookman(rby) sent out eggi (Lv.100 Exeggutor)!
---------------------------------
t3h Icy's Starmie used Psychic!
(22% damage)
A critical hit!
It's not very effective...
---------------------------------
End of turn #21
t3h Icy's Starmie: 251 HP
brookman(rby)'s eggi: 39% HP
Exeggutor's now in range for Blizzard. Perhaps he'll switch to Chansey, but again, I have Snorlax.
Begin Turn #22
t3h Icy's Starmie used Blizzard!
(39% damage)
It's super effective!
brookman(rby)'s eggi fainted!
brookman(rby) sent out brick house (Lv.100 Chansey)!
---------------------------------
End of turn #22
t3h Icy's Starmie: 251 HP
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 54% HP (Par)
Here's Chansey. I expect Thunder Wave and I'd rather not let Snorlax be hit by Paralysis, since then he'll heal after. I attack with Psychic in the case of a Special Fall or a semi-useful Critical Hit.
Begin Turn #23
t3h Icy's Starmie used Psychic!
(15% damage)
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s brick house used Softboiled!
brookman(rby)'s brick house regained health!
---------------------------------
End of turn #23
t3h Icy's Starmie: 251 HP

Time to go to Snorlax.

t3h Icy sent out Snorlax (Lv.100 Snorlax)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s brick house used Sing!
brookman(rby)'s brick house's attack missed!
---------------------------------
End of turn #24
t3h Icy's Snorlax: 523 HP
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 89% HP (Par)
I honestly forgot about that, but it missed anyway. Since the chance of not FPing and hitting with Sing, is only 41.25%, I take the risk. Since he may go Gengar and I can still 2HKO with Earthquake, I choose that. Exeggutor is also dead so there's no worry of that. I'm also Counter-safe if he uses that.
Begin Turn #25
t3h Icy's Snorlax used Earthquake!
(35% damage)
---------------------------------
brookman(rby)'s brick house used Sing!
brookman(rby)'s brick house's attack missed!
---------------------------------
End of turn #25
t3h Icy's Snorlax: 523 HP
brookman(rby)'s brick house: 54% HP (Par)
It misses, yay. Now the decision between Earthquake and Hyper Beam. Starmie is still healthy enough to take a Thunderbolt, and I'd rather not risk Sing for another turn.
Begin Turn #26
t3h Icy's Snorlax used Hyper Beam!
(54% damage)
A critical hit!
brookman(rby)'s brick house fainted!
brookman(rby): zzz
brookman(rby) sent out Gar (Lv.100 Gengar)!
---------------------------------
End of turn #26
t3h Icy's Snorlax: 523 HP
brookman(rby)'s Gar: 58% HP
He'll either use Thunderbolt or Hypnosis and in either case, Starmie can take them. If Starmie is fine after the following turn, I can finish off Gengar.
Begin Turn #27
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Snorlax!
t3h Icy sent out Starmie (Lv.100 Starmie)!

(59% damage)
It's super effective!
brookman(rby)'s Gar fainted!
brookman(rby) sent out smarmie (Lv.100 Starmie)!
---------------------------------
End of turn #28
t3h Icy's Starmie: 251 HP
brookman(rby)'s smarmie: 100% HP
Starmie still has expendable HP and I want to fish for Thunder Wave so I can switch to Jynx without Paralysis/Starmie healing. I hope that his Starmie doesn't get a Critical Hit, but in that case, Jynx will have to deal.
Begin Turn #29
brookman(rby)'s smarmie used Thunderbolt!
(154 damage)
It's super effective!
---------------------------------
t3h Icy's Starmie used Thunderbolt!
(46% damage)
It's super effective!
---------------------------------
End of turn #29
t3h Icy's Starmie: 97 HP

He's likely not using Thunder Wave.
Begin Turn #30

t3h Icy sent out Jynx (Lv.100 Jynx)!

brookman(rby)'s smarmie used Thunderbolt!
(83 damage)
---------------------------------
End of turn #30
t3h Icy's Jynx: 250 HP
brookman(rby)'s smarmie: 54% HP
His remaining Pokemon have no status, so Lovely Kiss is safe. Either of the three (the third I'm assuming Tauros) asleep is helpful.
Begin Turn #31
brookman(rby) withdrew brookman(rby)'s smarmie!
brookman(rby) sent out Zam (Lv.100 Alakazam)!
---------------------------------
t3h Icy's Jynx used Lovely Kiss!
brookman(rby)'s Zam fell asleep!
---------------------------------
End of turn #31
t3h Icy's Jynx: 250 HP
brookman(rby)'s Zam: 76% HP (Slp)
He probably won't risk Blizzard so he won't go Tauros, thus I'll go Chansey. If he goes to Tauros, I'll Paralyze and follow-up with Snorlax or Tauros. If he stays with Zam, I'll switch the next turn.
Begin Turn #32
t3h Icy withdrew t3h Icy's Jynx!
t3h Icy sent out Chansey (Lv.100 Chansey)!
---------------------------------
brookman(rby) withdrew brookman(rby)'s Zam!

---------------------------------
End of turn #32
t3h Icy's Chansey: 626 HP
brookman(rby)'s smarmie: 54% HP
He knows he can't win this match-up, and he may also fear an oncoming Thunder Wave, which he doesn't want his Tauros hit by, especially since I have a huge lead on him. He'll likely be off to Zam, so I'll go with Snorlax. I don't want to risk Tauros in case he keeps Starmie out.
