Tagging deadfox081 and Rediamond. I expect you two to have this thread on watch.

Lore, Legends And More Action Tournament

Well Birkal had both teams for nine days and never put up the match so I have pulled the "You are sacked" card and took over this myself. Even Leethoof can put up a thread on time... -.-'

Anyhow welcome to this final round Pool A match between deadfox081 and Rediamond. The winner of this match will probably make it to the next round and the loser will definitely be out given both players have a 1-1 record so it is sudden death here! deadfox081 was complaining of matchup when he sent his team—an identical one to what he brought against smashlloyd20—and so he feels like he is at a disadvantage here. But he should not lose heart and... yeah. Pay attention to Jirachi. Jirachi has a good matchup against Mega Gardevoir and Genesect and Rediamond's main answer would not like being on the receiving end of many Iron Heads I guess. Rediamond on paper has a good matchup consisting of his legend and two S Rank Pokémon that would perform well against most teams in general. That said, pay attention to Sableye. While its matchup is majorly neutral, it is his best answer to Jirachi even though it is generally limited to Shadow Sneak if it wants to bypass Iron Head flinch-spam. But enough talk. Let us look at the teams shall we?

To start with, deadfox081 sends out the pain-in-the-butt-to-order-first-against Skill Frog and Rediamond counters by sending out a mega evolving Gardevoir! How will one of ASB's strongest Pokémon fare against the might of Skill Frog? Well let us see how...

... Well, not too well as the Skill Frog simply transforms into a Poison-type, firing off powerful sludges without much worries and dealing big damage to the Gardevoir but despite the resisted hits, the Gardevoir does manage to deal a fair chunk of damage in response. At least there was no "hax" this round. The Gardevoir might be wounded but at least it now gets a chance to go second against Skill Frog... Provided deadfox081 decides to be co-operative and not switch out, but who am I to know what he will do? Either way, this looks like a good time for Rediamond to hit back.

Not liking the matchup, deadfox081 switches to his Jirachi, only for Rediamond to counterswitch to his Sableye! It seems like deadfox cannot get a good matchup without losing momentum...

And that is precisely what happened. While the Sableye went on the offence, the Jirachi was forced onto the defence, putting up a reflective barrier and evading attacks before trying to gain some momentum by gifting deadfox a free switch. Such tactics have costed deadfox quite a bit of HP compared to the minimal HP Rediamond and Sableye lost. While deadfox might be able to get a matchup that is not bad now, he faces the dreaded task of ordering first against a Sableye. And that will most likely not be a very fun task indeed.

AND NOT Move is illegal with regards to substitutions, not that it actually matters one bit in the grand scheme of things because Knock Off two times in a row makes the sub not trigger anyway hahaha.

Anyhow with a reflective barrier to help, deadfox sends in his Stratagem and it and the Sableye go on the offensive. The Sableye makes a powerful rush attack to flinch the Stratagem before making repeated swatting manoeuvres, succeeding in removing the Rare Candy that the Stratagem was holding. The Stratagem's response? Well after flinching after the rush attack, it then launched a powerful rocky assault, weakening the Sableye's offence and with the assistance of the reflective barrier, comfortably won the damage race this round despite ordering first. What can Rediamond do against this Stratagem now? At least the reflective barrier is gone, but the Attack drop has not.

Yeah I am afraid I am going to have to say no to Dazzling Gleam + Hyper Beam. My logic behind it is because I envision Dazzling Gleam to be a bursting wave of flashing light that can blind opponents similar to flash and Hyper Beam is... well... a beam. I cannot see a beam being dispersed into flashing light or concentrating the flash into a beam (which is mechanically illogical since it is supposed to hit three targets as opposed to one). I know a few others that share my views on this. If you (deadfox) feel like you have a case that would make it be feasible outside of some lame precedent, then feel free to voice your case.

Of course that is incredibly critical because it is a "critical" move and instead of a dead Sableye, there is a weakened Sableye and a pretty weak Stratagem to boot.

That's complete bullshit. In the history of ASB Hyper Beam has been combined with every special projectile attack under the sun. I can't recall ever seeing it called unfeasible. I'm not going to waste my time looking for precedent and I realise I have no recourse since you also run this tournament but this is rubbish especially in a match and at a point as important as this

Apparently Dazzling Gleam—a flash or burst of light—is now a specially-based projectile attack?

And please do not act in a salty manner; I get that you are angry but nothing feels more disheartening as a referee than to get shot down over what is clearly a tough, subjective decision while trying to be impartial about it. I knew very well that I was going to end up setting a "precedent" here given combination logic being mostly based on flavour that either something with question marks logic-wise going through despite the several people I asked agreeing with my decision to not support it or going with the secondary opinions (which were pretty much no) and a critical KO like this not happening. I cannot please everyone.

Though it does say a lot about the subjectivity of the combination system and why we honestly need to get around to making the system more objective with regards to feasibility.
