Our first battler is ASB's resident Fighting Gym Leader and winner of Pool E, Birkal! Despite already being in possession of one deadly Psychic-type Legendary, he's looking to earn a second; however, Hoopa is mysteriously absent from this battle. This is not to say that Birkal forewent the use of a 600BST Psychic-type, since the ever-dangerous Aurumoth is here instead. Speaking of Aurumoth, its Illusion could be one of Birkal's greatest weapons in this bout, since it will no doubt restrict his opponent's options by the mere threat of facing the golden bug instead of the Pokemon it's disguised as. Also I suck at MVP predicts, mainly because I suck at ASB.

On our other corner, we have Water Gym Leader S0L1D G0LD! Not to be outdone by Birkal's cast of powerful Psychic-types, G0LD has brought the alien monster known as Deoxys, crusher of worlds and of opposing ASBers' hopes and dreams. However, I'd be more weary of Mawile instead, since it has a favorable matchup versus Birkal's Dragonite and can probably hold its own against Aurumoth. It remains to be seen who will succeed if this comes down to a Mega Mawile Mirror Match.
Will Birkal come one step closer to a second stupidly powerful Psychic? Will G0LD's alien menace prevail instead? Let's flip a coin and find out.
Birkal: Heads / S0L1D G0LD: Tails

(It's heads! Reminder to self: find an easier coin to figure out next time)

How stuff will happen:
Birkal comes back from LoA in time to send out pokemon with item
S0L1D G0LD sends out pokemon with item and wonders whether or not he's facing Aurumoth
S0L1D G0LD orders
Birkal orders
YAS refs
IAR looks on ominously in the background to see if he has to find a new ref, but is pleasently surprised. Hopefully.​
 
Best of luck to you, Birkal. And these orders are far from perfect, but let's get this thing started.

Giygas [Attack Forme] @ Focus Band

Ice Punch - Rock Slide - Ice Punch
If Bide, start action chain Spikes - Skill Swap (Pressure <--> Multiscale) - Ice Punch .
If your foe is under the effects of Fly when you would act, use Thunder that action.
[ONCE] If your foe uses a damaging Bug-Type attack, use Knock Off that action, and change all remaining instances of Ice Punch to Shadow Ball.

And we're off! Gold, wary of Birkal's Dragonite being Aurumoth in disguise, sends out Deoxys in response. Unfortunately, as our battlers trade blows, hax strikes three times during the course of the round, as Deoxys is struck with a critical hit and a defense drop in consecutive actions. Thankfully, it holds on to its Focus Band to mitigate the damage. Birkal, on the other hand, puts on his thinking cap and unleashes a furious combo that should deal the exact amount of damage to deal the Psychic alien a ORKO! Unfortunately for him, hax does even out in the end and his powerful Megahorn combination results in a miss! Now, Birkal is in a pretty deep hole, as his Aurumoth is now weakened, itemless, Illusion-less, cooling down and helpless while ordering first against Deoxys.

And then the ref remembers No Guard. Plot twist. Take everything I said earlier and flip it upside down. Well, except the part about Aurumoth being itemless and cooling down while ordering first. What G0ld does with the turn advantage will surely define whether he gets to play around with Deoxys for one more match.

Giygas used Ice Punch!
[Crit roll (<=625): 3235/10000; No]

Giygas knocked off Duncan's Expert Belt!
Duncan's Weak Armor triggers! [+1 Spe / -1 Def]

-7 EN (Deoxys)

Duncan used Silver Wind!

Eh, can't expect success without failures. A few fixes, though. Aurumoth should be at -2 def and -2 speed, though. A double Megahorn combo costs 34 en after stab.

If Mawile is under the effects of a protective / evasive move when you would attack it and you are not taunted, use Wish that action.
If Mawile is behind a substitute when you would attack it and you are not taunted, use Tail Glow that action. Only do this once.
If you are under the effects of Torment when you would use Overheat on A3, and you already used Overheat on A2, use Thunder that action.​

Gold (whose name I'm tired of typing tbh, so no leet speak this time) decides to send in his powerful Mega to finish off Birkal's Aurumoth and, taking advantage of it being under cooldown, sets up some really helpful entry hazards in order to get rid of Dragonite's Multiscale. Aurumoth, on the other hand, is on its last legs and will surely go down next round. However, while Stealth Rock on his side of the field is a concern, Birkal has to be pleased as Mawile's health drops, as it's Gold's only best answer to Dragonite. Gold has to equalize the KO count fast and efficiently if he doesn't want Dragonite to tear through his team like a hot knife on vanilla ice cream.
ACTION ONE
Mawile mega-evolved into Mega Mawile!
Mawile let out an intimidating roar!
Garnett's Attack fell!


Garnett is cooling down!

Mawile used Substitute!
Mawile created a copy of itself! -15HP
-12 EN (Mawile)

ACTION TWO
Garnett used Tail Glow!
Garnett's Special Attack rose dramatically!
-10 EN (Aurumoth)

Mawile used Stealth Rock!
Pointed stones float around Birkal's team!
-12 EN (Mawile)

ACTION THREE
Garnett used Overheat!
[Crit roll: irrelevant]
[(13 + 7.5 - 6) x 1.5] + 6 = 27.75 DMG
Mawile's substitute faded!
Garnett's Special Attack harshly fell!

-10 EN (Aurumoth)

Mawile used Crunch!
[Crit roll (<=625): 6386/10000; No]
[Effect roll {Def drop} (<=2000): 6026/10000; No]
[(8 + 2 + 11 - 6) x 1.5] + 4 = 26.5 DMG

A few things: Sheer Force means Crunch doesn't have a def drop roll. Attack boosts/defense drops are applied after all modifiers, so Overheat does not deal 30.75 damage, even to a Substitute.

Switching to Kaliso @ Charcoal

Counterswitch?
 
Thanks, but I basically spent the last 3 hours staring at my screen finishing my orders haha.

Flare Blitz - Fire Blast - Flare Blitz
If successful p/e move, use Sunny Day on the first instance, and Chill on the second, pushing back in each case.
If Healing Wish a1, use Sunny Day that action.
If your move is Disabled when you would act, use Lava Plume that action.

Guilty on both counts. At least it doesn't affect the round in any way...

Gold begins the round by subbing out his Mawile in favor of Pyroak, surely with the intention of saving Mawile for Birkal's Dragonite. As Aurumoth finally goes down, it leaves Pyroak with a parting gift in the form of Skill Swap. Pyroak's precious Rock Head is gone, as is its immunity to critical hits. More importantly, however, Dragonite's Hurricane now has perfect accuracy against it. Birkal has set himself up for what appears to be a fun round for Gold...

Don't forget Charcoal on Flare Blitz, giving Pyroak 2HP more damage thanks to recoil.


Duncan @ Expert Belt

Hurricane | Hurricane | Hurricane

If Pyroak is under the effects of a protective / evasive move, use Defog on the first instance and Roost on the second.
If switch-forcing move, use Protect. Only do this once.
If switch-forcing move and Pyroak is not behind a substitute and the previous substitution has already activated, use Hurricane + Hurricane that action.​

Roar - Fire Blast - Synthesis

If Roar does not follow in-game precedent and ignore Protect and Detect (that being said, nowhere does it say that it doesn't afaik), I would like a reorder, please.
 
By the way, according to what people on IRC were saying a few days ago, Roar does bypass Protect, so... Yeah. I didn't know that either, tbh.

BEGIN ROUND 4!
---
Stealth Rock and a nifty use of sub abuse have momentarily given Gold the upper hand. Birkal's Dragonite comes in, looking to get rid of Gold's Pyroak, but the pointed rocks break its Multiscale and he's forced to switch out. Even after hitting itself in confusion, Gold's Pyroak takes advantage of the harsh sun to recover almost all of the damage that Dragonite inflicted, while also forcing it to take Stealth Rock damage once more and facing what is perhaps the only favorable matchup it could have today. Momentum seems to be in Gold's favor now, but he must capitalize on it during this next round or risk losing it for good.
ACTION ONE
Pointed stones dug into Duncan! -15 HP

Duncan used Protect!
-7 EN (Dragonite)

Kaliso used Roar!

-7 EN (Dragonite)

[Confusion roll (<=5000): 2362; Yes]
Kaliso hit itself in confusion!
[(4 + 6 - 6) x 1] = 4 DMG

Expert Belt increases se BAP by two, not three. You have forgotten to apply the se multiplier to hurricane. All said and done, Pyroak is left with 77 Hp.

Fire Blast - Lava Plume - Fire Blast
If Metal Burst, use Will-O-Wisp in the first instance, Chill on the second, and Growth on the third, restarting the queue in each case.
If Mawile is under the effects of a successful p/e move when you would act, use Growth that action and restart the queue.
If Pain Split a2 or a3 and Mawile has less than 57 Hp and this sub did not activate on the previous action, use Protect that action and restart the queue.
