[PSYCHIC] Leader Gerard vs Challenger Rediamond (Take 2)
- Thread starter Frosty
- Start date
Once again, the anime has given me a wonderful idea, as I watch how Faint has been used I see that Megahorn is a natural combination for it. I think this will be it.
Katherine: Taunt (Shield) ~ Heal Pulse (Hecate) ~ Reflect
* If Muse uses Endure then use Encore (Muse) & push actions
* If Shield uses Protect when you target him then use Chill & push actions
* If Hecate is KOed when you target her with Heal Pulse then use Icy Wind & push actions
Hecate: Faint + Megahorn Combo (Muse) ~ Cooldown (Megahorn (Shield)) ~ Electroweb
* If Muse uses Endure then use Encore (Muse) & push actions
* If Shield uses Protect when you target him then use Chill & push actions
* If Hecate is KOed when you target her with Heal Pulse then use Icy Wind & push actions
Hecate: Faint + Megahorn Combo (Muse) ~ Cooldown (Megahorn (Shield)) ~ Electroweb

Fits this battle overall.
DATA:
ACTION 1!
Ninetales used Endure! (-15en)
Aurumoth used Feint + Megahorn (Ninetales)! (-17en)
NOTE: Gotta be honest here: I wasn't feeling like allowing that combo, as megahorn is contact and feint isn't. But anime precedent won on this occasion. Can't say I will do the same again later though.
Crit:11 (no)
Damage: (2+12+3+3)+4= 24hp
Ninetales endured the hit!
Gardevoir used Encore (Ninetales)! (-9en)
-2hp
Shuckle used Encore (Gardevoir)! (-10en)
but it failed!
NOTE: From NDA:Encore fails when used on a target whose Encore ended on the previous action or whose last successful action was Bodyblock, Chill, Dodge, Encore, Mimic, Mirror Move, Shift, Sketch, Take Cover, Transform, a combo, an Ability command, or a cooldown.

Everything. Fuck it.
Ninetales: Heat Wave~Heat Wave~Heat Wave
Shuckle: Gyro Ball (Gardevoir)~Gyro Ball (Gardevoir)~Gyro Ball (Gardevoir)
Also, what was the actual gameplay reason for not allowing Encore to affect Encore?

Remember both mons are at -1 speed :3
My guess is to avoid a mon encoring a mon into encore and thus this encoring the same mon into encore. Making an unbreakable cycle that would only end in draining both moves PP
