DAZZLING BEAM [Dazzling Gleam + Hyper Beam] – cooldown – Shadow Ball
I can't for the life of me figure out if Justified activates on non-attacking moves or not, and I got conflicting reports on IRC, so for now I'm assuming no. If someone can give me some solid proof one way or the other that would be lovely.

Bzzt having bit the dust, Birkal brings out his next Pokemon, and it's none other than the infamous Crayons the Kecleon! Holding his trusty Everstone, he's going to be one tough customer for Engineer to take down! Doesn't look like Engineer wants any part of a Kecleon vs. Sableye matchup though, as he pulls Tenma out in favour of Samurai the Gallade! After briefly disputing the legality of the switch, Birkal decides to bring us back full circle and replaces Crayons with Savate the Gallade, returning us to the mirror match that started this match off! Let's see if it goes better for Birkal this time!
Savate starts us off once again, and it looks like Birkal is looking to preemptively shut down any trickery from Samurai, as Savate wastes no time in throwing a Taunt at the enemy Gallade! Samurai is taunted, which could have a big impact later on in the match, but for now it looks like Samurai is going for all-out-offense in a big way! Oh my It's a Dazzling Gleam + Hyper Beam combination, and it explodes on Savate! I can't see anything between the blinding light and the explosion, we're trying to get a status update on Savate... Wait a minute. No, this can't be... I can not believe this! But it's true! The attack missed! How that could even possibly miss is beyond explanation, but now that the smoke has cleared Savate is clearly standing unscathed! What a horrible, horrible break for Engineer!
Savate isn't about to show any mercy, and takes full advantage of the lucky break by nailing Samurai with a Dazzling Gleam! It's a solid super effective attack, but at least Samurai's Special Defense helps blunt the damage somewhat! However, he still has to recover from his combination, preventing him from retaliating at all!
Continuing the offense, Savate dashes in and gets physical, nailing Samurai with an Aerial Ace! Another super effective blow, although that burn blunts the damage a fair deal! However, still sluggish from that combo, Samurai isn't able to retaliate at full strength and instead resorts to Struggle to get a bit of extra damage in! Samurai is still ahead on HP, but not by nearly as much as he'd like; that missed combo could be the deciding factor in this match! Can Engineer recover the lost momentum, or will Birkal run away with this one?

how do i order against this
Dazzling Gleam – Aerial Ace – Shadow Ball
IF (Torment is used) THEN (Initiate string Knock Off – Aerial Ace – Body Slam)
IF (Your attack is Imprisoned) THEN (Use Knock Off the first time, Psycho Cut the second, Shadow Sneak the third, push actions back)

So it was pointed out to me that since Hyper Beam comboes cause Sluggish for 2 actions (including cooldown) Shadow Ball doesn't work on A3. Going to edit the reffing to reflect this right now. Engineer Pikachu if you want to reorder feel free. Sorry for the issue ~_~
EDIT: Should be fixed now, let me know if I screwed up my math.

my actions are unchanged
Sorry for the delay, had this 99% reffed and then realized that the Shadow Sneak part of Engi's sub was illegal (shifting priority up on a chance sub is a no-no), so after some debate with dogfish we ended up agreeing that only the Shadow Sneak part of the sub would be ignored. Then I lost that nearly complete reffing and then I was busy for a bunch of days ~_~

Alrighty, and here we go! Savate, as per usual in this matchup, is the faster of the two, and immediately starts us off with an Imprison! Looks like Dazzling Gleam, Knock Off and Psycho Cut are Imprisoned! Will that affect Samurai's tactics at all? Well, it looks like Samurai was going to go for a Dazzling Gleam before deciding better of it, and he's instead going for... Oh no, it's a Knock Off, and of course the move failed due to Imprison! That sucks for Engineer!
While Savate begins to prepare some presumably devastating attack, Samurai goes back to trying Dazzling Gleam before realizing it won't work once again! What is he going to replace it with this time? Oh, it's Psycho Cut, but once again his replacement move is also Imprisoned, and so he's forced to resort to a Struggle! And now isn't the time for helpless flailing, as Savate fires off a devastating Hyper Beam + Dazzling Gleam combo of his own! And this one is a direct hit! It's super effective and Samurai takes massive damage!
Of course, with great power comes great repercussions, and Savate has to recover from his combo! But it doesn't look like Samurai can take advantage; unable to use his substitution he's forced to stick with Dazzling Gleam, which with the Imprison still up ends up a measly Struggle! Suddenly Birkal has taken full control of this match; can he keep it up or will Engineer find a way to get himself back into the driver's seat?

I think I should've used Psycho Cut A2 – it was the second time my attack had been under the effects of Imprison.

Hoping to somehow survive the round, Samurai uses Endure! With Samurai bracing himself, Savate is going to be hard pressed to KO him this round! But he's going to try, as he throws a Will-O-Wisp at him! And just like that Savate gets revenge for that Ghost Ball at the start of the match, and Samurai is burned! That will definitely help finish Samurai off!
Looking to finish Samurai off, Savate nails Samurai with a Dazzling Gleam! It's super effective, and Samurai is almost down! But he endures the blow, and OH MY. This could even things out! A Pain Split out of nowhere, and suddenly Samurai and Savate's HP are equal! This could be a game-changer, especially with the burn on both of them putting them on a short clock!
Savate, with a sense of urgency, dashes in aiming for a quick KO with a Shadow Sneak! But it's not quite enough, and Samurai retaliates with a Shadow Ball! Is it enough? It is! Savate is knocked out! But can Samurai survive the burn damage? He does! Only just, JUST barely, but Samurai is somehow still standing! What a turnaround! Birkal is down to one last Pokemon, but Crayons is still at full health while two of Engineer's Pokemon are basically down and the third is also injured! Can Engineer keep up his momentum or will Birkal turn this around?

If you guys are okay with waiting till tomorrow for me to ref then that's when I'll try to get this done, otherwise I'd advise asking for a subref because real life kinda kicked me in the ass the past few days.
I'm alive! Should be able to ref this once every day or two so hopefully we can wrap it up soonish.

Crayons enters the battlefield for Birkal, and almost immediately ends the round with a blindingly fast Fake Out! Samurai immediately crumples to the ground; Samurai is knocked out! Birkal finally has his first KO of the match, but with Crayons completely healthy and both of Engineer's Pokemon somewhat injured, he might still have the edge! What will happen next?

With Samurai down, Engineer Pikachu brings Tenma back into the match! This was the matchup that Engineer shied away from before, but it seems to be his only option now. Before Tenma can act, Crayons summons swirling rings of energy to attack with Hidden Power! It looks like Hidden Power is Fairy-type; the only type to hit Tenma super effective! Tenma opts to not counterattack, instead setting up a Substitute decoy.
Crayons then strikes at the decoy with malicious attempt! I think it was trying to use Knock Off, and it scored a critical hit! Unfortunately it couldn't remove an item, as the decoy wasn't actually holding anything! Tenma retaliates, using Knock Off as well! Crayons's Everstone is swatted to the ground, and despite Knock Off being not very effective on Crayons, Tenma's Knock Off did more damage than Crayons's! Tenma's Substitute also still appears to be holding up.
Crayons starts to use Hidden Power again, but instead burrows under the ground! Tenma isn't falling for it though, and is just waiting patiently to attack. Crayons comes back up and strikes with Dig, just barely managing to destroy the Substitute decoy! However, it looks like Tenma has something evil up its sleeve! Sapping Crayons with a red beam, it uses Pain Split to equalize their HP! What a big move! Tenma does seem much more exhausted than Crayons, but this matchup is very surprising! It could still go either way, and I have no idea what will happen next!
