Hello my UUsers! Waiv/viaw here!

This is a battle between me and
IronBullet93 , one the best UU battlers i've faced on UU.
I'm running a variant of my Rushdog, Mamph offence with an implant of a dedicated wish passing stall core. While IB is running what i would consider a offensive balance with a major win condition in Chandy.
Even though i mainly lost the early game, removing his Whims was probably the most important aspect of the game as it shows how powerful and unprepared the current metagame is for it's stab fairy attack (being the only noteworthy of its kind). However essentially sacrificing my Rushdog to over prediction was devastating, as it was essentially primed to sweep his team. Despite this my core held strong, showing why Mamph is ranked so highly on the viability rankings and why Alom is such a versatile threat/wall.
To the point, IB's teambuilding is incredible, his nearly flawless offensive execution is largely due to the sheer amount of pressure a double switch from him would yield. The number of different sets each of his Pokemon could run, coupled with the synergy that his typings create made it extremely difficult to 'make plays'. It shows the importance of momentum when two semi offensive teams play, while he opted for a 'fast turn' momentum, i opted for a 'slow turn' momentum, and his superior use of Hydreigon and Cruel forced me to play on the defensive
Overall it goes to show that when you're facing one of the goats like IB you cannot afford to make any mistakes, especially late game! But it reminded me why I would take a good game loss to a bad game win any day!
