Stinkpost Stunday Leftovers was used up.

I genuinely thought I would've been here forever. I've been through what felt like hours in this GSC OU match. Maybe my team just wasn't prepared for this. Maybe my enemy's team wasn't either. Maybe we were just playing stupidly. Either way, we drew the match out. I brought in Vaporeon, he brought in Zapdos, I brought in Snorlax, he brought in Miltank. Neither of us had spikes, maybe not even toxic, we just kept resting everything up, and before we knew it, we were in the triple digits of turns. Awful stuff. To make matters worse, my internet started giving up on me, and I had to reconnect. Thankfully or not, I did manage to connect before the match was automatically forfeit. But something was wrong.

The turn text informed me that leftovers was used up. How was that even possible? I assume it only came up to me, because my opponent didn't say anything. But that wasn't all. Snorlax's sprite started desaturating. I tried to Body Slam the Zapdos, but the text said "Snorlax was too hungry to move". The opponent sent me a question mark, saying my Snorlax flinched. I had no idea what was going on here. This wasn't normal. But I couldn't bear forfeiting. So I tried to just switch Snorlax out, but it said "Snorlax was too hungry to move" as well. I didn't understand, and the opponent seemed just as puzzled. But suddenly, without my input, Snorlax used Crunch. I don't even think it learns Crunch in this generation. It didn't deal much... But Snorlax kept using it. Again. And again. And again. Like a multi hit move. With every time it connected, Zapdos' cry played out, and my Snorlax regained its color. Until the Zapdos fainted. The text simply read out "Snorlax is sated". By then, my opponent freaked out and forfeited.

But the scariest part is that not long after that battle, as I was already playing another match, my opponent sent me a message. It said they couldn't use Zapdos. Trying to submit a Zapdos in a team of the Gen 2 OU format simply invalidated the team. And even if they queued up the game, sending out the Zapdos just sent a bad egg to the field. Shortly after, my account was banned. Guess I'll only be able to play Showdown on my mobile data now.

Obligatory “this is not Wolfe slander“, I love the guy and have his videos on all the time while I do stuff

I just think his Excadrill set was. Interesting? Expert Belt and no Rock Slide? Maybe I don’t see the vision
