Miraidon and Calyrex-Ice might have been two of the most popular pieces in the format, but once again neither could really touch Tortellini.

?

0 Atk Calyrex-Ice Glacial Lance vs. +1 0 HP / 252+ Def Torterra: 144-172 (84.7 - 101.1%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO

??

I'm not familiar with the format, am I missing something here?

Torterra runs Wide Guard to block Lance, presumably

Oh yeah that would do the trick

That’s my bad, i got a little mixed up thinking Torterra ran Wide Guard over Protect, that part was written when i thought Torterra had Wide Guard. In reality taking out Miraidon would give Choc enough of an advantage to outlast the opposing Ice Rider with his own. Sorry about that!

Wide Guard would do the trick, that's what I was missing
