Gallade is faster post-mega evolution and uses specific wording on IAR's part ("under the effects of") to bypass Fly shenanigans and get into a straight damage race. However, Gallade still suffers when Landorus beats it in a straight damage competition and THEN switches into a fairy-type mega-mon. Can IAR do well against it ordering second? Or will he soon find himself down 1-2? Stay tuned to find out.

[Mega Evolve] [Sheer Force ON] Play Rough - Foul Play - Play Rough
IF Gallade uses Pain Split, use Protect that action instead, but not consecutively.
IF Gallade uses Encore, AND your last action was Protect, use Dodge that action instead.
IF Gallade uses Destiny Bond, replace your actions with Play Rough - Super Fang - Stealth Rock.
Pain Split > Close Combat > Close Combat
IF Protect is used successfully, THEN use Chill that action, pushing actions back. IF Mawile has Double Team clones up when you are to use Close Combat, AND Mawile is not under the effects of Magnet Rise, THEN use Earthquake that action.
I got a job with awful hours and don't have motivation to do this in what little free time I have. You might be best getting a subref but in the meantime I will continue at my own pace... starting tomorrow.
Pain Split - Super Fang - Super Fang
IF Volcanion is under the effects of a successful P/E move when you would act, use Iron Defense the first instance and Chill the second, pushing back each time.
IF Volcanion uses Roar, AND it is not Taunted, use Taunt that action instead and push back, but only once.
IF Volcanion has a Substitute when you would use Pain Split, use Focus Punch the first instance, Super Fang the second, and Super Fang the third, pushing back each instance.
Apparently using substitute allows a chance subbing Mawile to shift from a 0 priority move to a move with a charge priority of 6. But I digress.
Steam Eruption > Scald > Steam Eruption
IF Landorus uses Fly, THEN use Smack Down on the first instance. IF Landorus uses Dig, THEN use Earth Power that action. IF Landorus uses Role Play, THEN replace all remaining instances of Steam Eruption with Heat Wave, AND replace all remaining instances of Scald with Flamethrower.
It amuses me that this is the second time during the course of the three tournaments in which I have participated that my chances of winning come down to a ploy that has a humorously low chance of success. Anyway, if you win, IAR, then I wish you luck in your future matches. Well played.
This is going to be the second match this tournament where the outcome depends on a coinflip involving a Landorus using Fissure (combo or otherwise)... ._.
And what is the bet Frosty is going to public coin-flip on IRC hahaha ._.
