This is the club where Max, Strong Bad, the Heavy and Tycho frequently play poker. In this battle, they are currently playing a game of Texas Hold 'Em, but if any seismic moves (Earthquake, Bulldoze, Magnitude or Fissure) are used, one of the poker players will take interest in the battle and come over to watch. However, if they get bored of the battle, they'll go back to the poker table. Each character's presence will have a different effect on the battle and each one has a different criterion that must be met for them to keep watching.
When determining which character comes over to watch when there is a seismic move, pick one at random who is currently at the table and has not already been chosen that round, with equal chances for each available character. Characters whose interest is piqued during a round will come over to watch the battle at the end of that round. While they are watching, their presence will have an effect on the battle, but in order for it to be maintained, all active pokemon must fulfil certain criteria each round. If they don't, then at the end of the round, characters who have lost interest will go back to the poker table. They can be brought back by more seismic activity though.
Here are the characters, the effects they have on the battle and the ways in which their interest can be maintained:
- Max
- While he is watching, Max will use his latent psychic powers to find out what each pokemon is planning to do, and use his big mouth to blurt out this information, effectively giving all players one extra substitution.
- To keep him watching, all pokemon must not use the same move twice in one round, and no two pokemon may use the same move in the same action.
- Strong Bad
- While he is watching, Strong Bad will make fun of the pokemon, increasing the BAP of all of their damaging moves by 2.
- To keep him watching, all pokemon must deal at least 25 non-passive damage each round to at least one of their opponents.
- The Heavy
- While he is watching, the Heavy will periodically give out Sandviches, causing all pokemon to heal 5 HP per action.
- To keep him watching, all pokemon must finish each round with at least as much HP as 15 less than the amount they started the round with.
- Tycho
- While he is watching, Tycho will use his 20-sided die to influence the outcome of the match, increasing all secondary effect chances by a flat 10% after other modifiers.
- To keep him watching, all pokemon must use at least one non-STAB, non-Normal-type move each round.
