On a side note, because up to now I had been playing most of my battles on PO and Showdown, I only started getting my team ready on cartridge at the last minute. As a resjlt I had no time to obtain the Shadow Ball TM and was forced to run Flash Cannon instead. Furthermore, I didn't play a single match in which Flash Cannon would have been more useful than Shadow Ball at all...
Wolfes Thoughts:
I really like this team a lot and dont want to go too in depth and ruin the report with any analysis of mine, but I think that the interesting Metagame choices that the winner made were really good choices. I of course am biased because I love Hippowdon, but again I think that the unorthodox choices made here were all very good in the metagame he prepared for.
Huge thanks to Hibiki for uploading the videos
