[GROUND] Leader Its_A_Random vs Challenger zarator

[Frosty]

"Oh boy. Credo che se volete che il vostro distintivo così male non voglio farvi attendere! Attenzione però: non ho intenzione di essere un battito facile a differenza delle ultime sfide!"

3 Day Player DQ Time

Switch = OK

Turn Order = Leader sends out first R1.
Arena = Ground Gym the unhelpful

Arena

Arena: Ground Gym
Field Type: Ground
Complexity: Intense
Format: All

Restrictions: No Natural Grass, No External Water Source, Only Sandstorm & Clear weather permitted, Indoor Arena

Description: TBD

Mechanics:

• Nature Power calls Land's Wrath. Secret Power has a 30% chance to lower the foe's Speed by 1 Stage.
• The mixture of sand & dirt makes Dig easier to execute & gain height on attack, reducing its Energy cost by 2, & enabling the user to hit a target under the effects of Levitate/Magnet Rise/Telekinesis irrespective of Size Class.
• Pokémon cannot have their typing altered through any means, while Double Team & Illusion have no effect. The lights in the arena shine brightly enough to expose the disguises a Pokémon may have.
• Grassy Terrain's duration is halved. The sand-dirt mixture does not really allow for grass to grow, making it wilt very quickly.
• Sandstorm when summoned lasts for five rounds as opposed to four (eight with a Smooth Rock). The sand on the arena floor provides enough fuel for a Sandstorm to last longer.

Summary: Another Ground-type Gym I guess?

For the Leader's team pay special attention to Queen Adin the Nidoqueen. The challenger isn't stupid and brought, aside from Snorlax, a team of female mons, that make Nidoking's rivalry a nuisance. But Nidoqueen sure won't mind getting the rivalry boost herself. With a life orb, sheer force and the aforementioned Rivalry, Queen Adin is capable of defeating Ludicolo, Froslass and Jellicent on a damage race. Not an easy damage race though.

And from the Challenger's side pay special attention to Bagthru the Snorlax. I am totally not biased here haha. Anyway, Snorlax's worse weaknesses (fighting mons, bulky ghost or psychic mons, users of low kick) aren't present on the leader's side and Snorlax is fully capable of puting a dent on the leader's team before being defeated, as none of IAR's mons is particularly good against it. Although this is doubles, so there are always means to avoid that haha.

Round 1!

Well hello folks and welcome to the Ground Gym! The epithome of uselessness!

But I digress.

Today we see the clash between the leader, Its_A_Random and the challenger zarator. Its an interesting clash in more ways than one. The leader comes from a disturbing streak of losses in this useless gym, which pretty much forced him to change it back to doubles. While the challenge came from the overcoming of his own streak of losses vs gym leaders and, after managing to defeat the Fairy Gym, now seeks a good streak for a change. Also the Ghost Leader passed through something similar to what iar is on now, but maybe some sympathy here? no? ok.

The leader sends out the pair Nidoking and Nidoqueen, a pair that is becoming more and more often whenever IAR is on the field, while the challenger sends out Auril the froslass and Umberlee the Jellicent, two of his trusted ghost buddies.

The ghosts have the advantage of STAB, while the poison couple have more firepower, with sheer force and life orb being a thing. Add ordering last to the mixture and you get the "obvious result": combos and focus fire and what-not knocking out one of the challenger's mon: Umberlee. A nice way to start a battle!

Still, Umberlee is possibly the challenger's weakest link, so, while it was a bad thing, he can recover from it. Assuming he doesn't screw up the next round. Regardless, all in all, a nice start from the leader.​

Round 2!

It seems that the sturdiness of Zarator's team can stand up to the Sheer Force of the leader's squad!

...wow that was a terrible pun.

Anyway, zarator sends out Snorlax to replace Jellicent, while the leader replaces his trusted Nidoqueen with Iron Chain the Steelix, probably the most common pokemon used here. Also with sheer force and also with life orb. Probably on sale or something like that.

Both teams trade pretty heavy blows (I will stop now...), although Nidoking wasn't able to pick up the pace and was KO'd before it could even act. Oh well. This meant that the challenger managed to get a nice hp advantage going. And with Ludicolo being on his wings, the leader will be hard-pressed to get past that particular advantage somewhat.

Although, knowing who his fourth pokemon is (I think it is obvious?), it won't be any walk in the park.

Wow I got haxxed so hard it is not funny @_____________________@

Also Fidgit only has Rank 3 SpA so a little more HP to Ludicolo and Snorlax... Like they needed it... 9.9

I will order once I accept that I could lose this gym match due to terrible luck with double scald burn and miss slide (within)... because if not for those three things, that was a double KO hahaha.

0.9%... Oh well. :|

Round 4!

I stand corrected. Looks like I forgot how many utility Ludicolo has. That Fake Out...

The tides changed once more and the leader will need a miracle to get out of this alive... it seems that his arena will be a welcome addition as it sure would make a very good difference in this particular battle.

IF Nidoqueen uses Endure, replace your respective action with Substitute (15 HP). Do not play this substitution more than once in this round.
