[Bug] Leader Rediamond vs. Challenger Deadfox


*pant pant* "Did we get away from them?"


"Yeah I think so..."


"Thank goodness...what's with those fairies anyways?"


"I think they were upset that you went TWO WEEKS over the disqualifying time."


"Well yeah but I thought it was Emma's fairies that had the battleaxes!"


"Where do you think he got them from? At any rate, you'd save us all a lot of trouble if you just REFFED ON TIME!"


"I can ref on time, I've just been lazy..."


"THEN PROVE IT!"


"FINE!"

One week later.


"Oh this might've been a horrible idea."


"What do you mean, this place is awesome."


"To you maybe...now let's see here." *knocks*


"Go Away!"


"No wait I'm here to ref the gym match!"


"Oh you must be referring to the master's new hobby. Come"

I followed him to a rather dismal room in the manor, then set up my cameras



"Hello everyone! Welcome to this match between---" *cuts off*

"Oh for the love of, I thought we got this thing fixed."


"Well leaving it on for two weeks straight will do that to you."


"Oh can it!"

A Few minutes later


"Ah sorry for the technical issues. As I was saying, we have here a match between deadfox and Rediamond, a high profile match to be sure, let's go over the rules!"

The Rules said:
Arachne Manor
4 v 4 Gym Singles (deadfox)
3 Day DQ (3 violations allowed either side. At that point challenger may be DQ'd or Leader may be DQ'd if potentially at a disadvantage in HP percentage. Posts beforehand in LoA can negate this.)
12 Chills/4 Recovers per team (deadfox) | 15 Chills/5 Recovers per team (Birkal)
Switch=KO
Items=ON
Mega Evolutions=1 (deadfox) | 2 (Birkal)
Abilities=All
Deep in the heart of Viridian Forest a strange mansion dwells among the trees. It is an old manor of gray bricks; the home easily predates the first revolution. Only a handful of servants live in the recmote manor to tend to its equally reclusive but very wealthy lord.

Who is he? I wouldn't ask. He can get rather touchy about personal matters.

He spends most of his days alone, gazing at his collection. Tauros heads are mounted on plaques. A flock of stuffed Farfetch'd hang from the ceiling. A Scyther's body stands poised to strike at any unsuspecting foes, his lifeless eyes finally fitting. He worked long and hard for this collection. It was a welcome distraction from his work.

What did he do? I wouldn't ask. He can get rather touchy about personal matters.

But deep inside the home lies a room that seems out of place. It is an extremely high tech greenhouse complete with weather modification abilities. Toxic plants hang throughout as swarms of smaller bugs eat from their bark unaffected. Insects are remarkably resilient creatures. A tropical rain constantly pours down from above but the insects don't seem to mind. It is soothing and cooling in the room.

And he does not battle with actual insects. Just his Pokemon. The most prized members of his collection.

Mechanics:

-Permanent Rain that can only be changed by weather stones for a length of 3r. At the end of the stone's effect, if it is not renewed, the weather goes back to rain.
-So long as rain is up, the attack drop from Burn does not apply
-Moves with the word "poison" in their name gain 3 base power
-4x weaknesses deal x2 damage, 8x weaknesses deal x2.5 damage
-SolarBeam, Synthesis, Morning Sun, and Moonlight work as if the weather is clear if it is raining.
"Hmm, interesting arena. Let's hope it works out for the leader here. The Leader, Rediamond has had a string of bad luck recently, having ownership of a gym that can't really do a whole lot against it's weaknesses. That said, he is a competent battler and a budding fan fic writer (which might explain his choice of venue), so certainly not a leader to trifle with! Keep an eye out for Corpus the Heracross, with a stupidly powerful Mega Form, and the fact that he matches well against 2 out of deadfox's 4 Pokemon (even Dragonite will have trouble with him) he may be the leader's key to victory."

"Our challenger is also quite the accomplished battler, deadfox081. He's one of the best raiders in the entirety of ASB and has a decent tournament record besides! Rediamond had better watch out for him, and for Woosh the Tomohawk which between it's typing and Prankster boosted moves can be quite the handful for Rediamond to deal with."

Well, looks like we've got some of the Pokemon most likely to mess me up in this arena to face right off the bat. But, hey, at least it ain't Pyroak.

Round 1: Jet Lag

"ZZzzz...huh what? Oh right I was supposed to ref this! Is that thing still on? Ahh for..."

"Anyways, the match begins with Rediamond sending out Scadi the Syclant, with deadfox responding with Splat the Aggron holding an Aggronite! This matchup doesn't look good for Scadi, especially after Splat Mega Evolves."

"Scadi starts the match by...wait am I seeing this right? He's Taunting the Aggron? Doesn't he know that will get him head smashed next round? Regardless, he does so, and Splat fails to put up the Stealth Rocks like deadfox wanted. It seems Rediamond stalled the inevitable Stealth Rock for another round, but unless he has a good way to take down Splat it's still likely to go up."

"Looking to avoid some damage now that Splat's angry, Scadi Digs under the ground! Just seconds after, Splat crushes the hole with a powerful Heavy Slam, a shame it didn't connect with the target. Scadi's Dig most definitely did, but the combination of Splat's ridiculous defense and great defensive abilities means it does little but scratch the armor."

"Figuring that she has overstayed her welcome, Scadi then U-Turns out of the battlefield. Not before Splat finally lands a solid hit upon her though, and it does a LOT of damage."

"As the round ends, deadfox has secured an early lead with his choice of a Mega. As if that wasn't enough of an advantage, he gets to order second next round. However, Rediamond can now switch in a counter (my bet's on Volcarona, thanks to that arena effect) and has and opportunity to get ahead now. Who will come out on top? Stay tuned to find out!"

Round 2: Rocks Aplenty

"All right! Welcome back folks! Last round we witnessed deadfox taking an early lead. Rediamond decides to send in...Corpus the Heracross? Eh that's probably better than my suggestion to be honest. It's sure to give Splat plenty of trouble this round."

"Rediamond takes the initiative to push his Mega Stone, Mega Evolving Corpus into Mega Heracross! Corpus wastes no time in using it's massive attack stat to deal some serious damage to Splat with a Low Kick! Considering Splat's abilities and defense, it did a ton of damage. Splat however was not idle, and after a short wait launches a combo. Rocks suddenly fall from the ceiling, dealing minor damage to Corpus. However, some of the rocks then bounce up into the rafters, hiding themselves in the trees. It looks like the Stealth Slide combo wasn't there to do damage but rather to get Stealth Rock past Splat's Taunt."

"Unfortunately, for that tactic Splat has to cooldown. However, it might be to his benefit, as Corpus launches a counterattack...with nothing to counter. The Revenge does little more than dent Splat's heavy armor, maybe it wasn't the best idea to use that while going first, even with the Taunt."

"Corpus, rather mad that his attack did not quite work out, simply launches another Low Kick for massive damage! Splat is really hurting now, but he has a trick up his sleeve. He turns his behind to Corpus, then smashes Corpus with his tail! The force was strong enough to send Corpus immediately back into his Pokeball. Who's coming out next? Why, it looks like Flare the Volcarona has come out. The Rock weakness (albeit only x2) is going to hurt, but it's certainly not the worst case scenario for Rediamond."

"Overall, Rediamond seems to have pulled ahead slightly, but with Flare coming in at arguably a bad time and Aggron still having enough health to pull off some moves, it'll be close. Who will pull out the win? Stay tuned to find out!"

Stealth Rock should have dealt 18 damage to Volcarona


"Well done Splat, some excellent set up work. It's time to save you for a little later though and see what someone else has to offer. Dracor it's on you now. Take this Expert Belt and enjoy the rain. I don't think Volcarona will."


Dracor the Dragonite @ Expert Belt

Counterswitch?
 

"Okay Dracor, let him get rid of the rocks. But punish him for it."

Focus Punch + Fire Punch > Cool (Flamethrower) > Flamethrower
 
To Deadfox: The Arena makes it so that 4x weaknesses are considered to be 2x weaknesses. Since it adjusts the base weakness value and not simply the moves, Stealth Rock does 2x damage. I could be wrong but that's how I see it.

Round 3: Deadly Setup

"Welcome back folks! Last round we witnessed Rediamond attempting to get a lead with Corpus, only for him to get switched out for Flare. As the round begins we see deadfox switching to Dracor the Dragonite and Rediamond counter-switching to Queen of the Blade the Scizor. Scizor takes some damage from the rocks, and perhaps worse, Rediamond has revealed his last Pokemon. Can he win?"

"Queen starts with a sensible move, and Defogs the arena. It blows away the rocks from the field, but the rainstorm is so strong that it does little but weaken it to a standard issue downpour. As she was doing so, Dracor tightened it's focus, what could it possibly be planning? Woah wait a minute I think that's a Focus---BOOM! Wow that was a plenty powerful move, he pulled off not only a focus punch but a Focus Fire combo that did incredible damage to Queen, despite the rain. The only reason it's not hurting even more is because of the weakness aura Rediamond has going on here."

"Fortunately for Rediamond, Dracor has to cool down from that attack, which gives Queen ample room to Metal Claw him. The claws rend into the Dragonite's scales, getting a good boost from the Razor Claw, but Multiscale stops Queen from doing that much damage."

"Queen, determined to make a sizable dent into the dragon, launches a bunch of punches at breakneck speed. Sadly, the Bullet Punch still doesn't seem to do all that much damage. Dracor then goes back onto the offensive, and launches a stream of flames towards Queen. The Flamethrower deals some pretty decent damage despite the rain."

"As we end the round off, we see that deadfox has taken a commanding lead. Even with the Rocks gone, he's managed to take a bunch of HP off of Scizor and is poised to get first blood. Rediamond's not out of this yet though, as Splat is still hurting and Dragonite can easily be dealt with via Athena so long as he's careful and keeps that Multiscale from going back up. What will happen next? Find out when we return!"

That's not how I interpreted the arena. It says that 4x weaknesses deal "x2" damage which I believe means the X2 replaces the X2.25 in the normal damage calculation. This is supported by the fact that it is written as "x2" as opposed to "2x" and also because there is no "2.5x" level of weakness to correspond with the 8x in the description. My orders would obviously have been different if it is indeed that no mon can have a 4x weakness since I have many other ways of outdamaging a Flamethrower in this case.

EDIT: Also your stat difference on the Flamethrower was wrong as Scizor only has rank 3 SpD
 
The arena works by turning the 4x weakness multiplier to x2 instead of x2.25. For Stealth Rocks, I'm going to assume this means normal damage is dealt as that is based on weakness rather than a multiplier.
 

"Okay Dracor, with that out of the way let us get to dispatching this metallic insect."

Flamethrower > Incinerate > Flamethrower
IF Endure THEN Substitute (20 HP) > Whirlpool > Surf from the action of Endure
IF successful protective/evasive action THEN Chill and push actions back

Small nitpick but the BAP of moves which add their priority to a combination is halved. So the combo should have 2 less BAP and Dragonite 2 more HP.
 
Syclant in.

Blizzard~Ice Punch~Blizzard
IF Light Screen, use Taunt and push actions back
IF Bide, use Substitute (15) and push actions back but only once
