I made a Mono-Psychic team today, and I didn't expect to get such a great battle so soon after. I logged onto Shoddy, chose a Ladder battle, and I found Russs. Now, sit back and scroll down...
My (Mike Rotch's) team:
Russs's team: (in order of apperance)
Rules: Ladder Match, Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Evasion Clause, Species Clause, Strict Damage Clause
Russs sent out Yanmega (lvl 100 Yanmega ?).
Mike Rotch sent out Pixie Dust (lvl 100 Azelf).
Okay, I send out Azelf, Russs sends out Yanmega. As soon as I see it, I think this battle might already be lost.
Yanmega used Detect.
Yanmega braced itself!
Pixie Dust used Flamethrower.

I'm a Toilet! lost 78% of its health.
I'm a Toilet!'s leftovers restored its health a little!
I'm a Toilet! restored 6% of its health.
Yanmega's Speed Boost raised its speed!
I try to preserve the 1-HP Azelf, because it could explode on something slower. Of course, because of my team being mono-Psychic, I don't have any resists to Bug.
Yanmega used Bug Buzz.
I'm a Toilet! lost 28% of its health.
Mike Rotch's I'm a Toilet! fainted.
Yanmega's Speed Boost raised its speed!
5-6 Russs
For the next few turns, I just send out Pokémon, letting Yanmega KO them. I thought I already lost the battle.

Woot! Uxie, being a bulky Pokémon, with 75/130/130 Defenses, iirc, was able to withstand the buzzing noise and KO. Still, I have a long way to go before having even a chance of winning.
Russs: aight (a)
Russs switched in Suicune (lvl 100 Suicune).
Suicune is exerting its pressure!

Russs sends out Suicune, and we both do some Calm Minding. Due to little or no EV investment in Suicune's SA and CM's Spec. Defense boosts, Uxie's Subs were able to absorb a few Surfs before fading away. You can skip a few turns. It's just Uxie CMing and Suicune hanging 10 surfing. Who knew a dog could actually stand on a Surfboard?

It's super effective!
Suicune lost 14% of its health.

Pixie Dust used Explosion.
A critical hit!
Sceptile lost 100% of its health.
Russs's Sceptile fainted.
Mike Rotch's Pixie Dust fainted.
1-3 Russs
A weird move from Russs, because if it would have used a damaging attack, it would have remained unscathed from the suicide-bombing revenging pixie. Was he predicting a switch to Blissey or something? Anyway, that was great luck for me, but I only have one Pokémon against Russs's three Pokémon. It looks like I'm going to lose right away, right?

Props:
- Russs for a great game.
- Metagross for a great comeback.
- Azelf for taking down two Pogeys despite being at 1 HP.
- Uxie for having great defenses. If it wasn't able to take a Bug Buzz without fainting, the battle would have been done a lot sooner.
- Me, for attaching Leftovers to Metagross. If it weren't for that, Metagross would have been KO'ed by Porygon-Z.
- Me, for using a mono-type team.
- Medicham, Bronzong, and Starmie for not doing anything.
- Meteor Mash for missing at a crucial part of the game.
- Having to face off against a Bug Buzz Yanmega.
