Hello everybody, and welcome to the first round of the "Did You Always Exist?" Tournament! Today we have two very strong battlers going head to head against each other. First though, here's the rules for this round of the tournament!
In the Blue corner, we have ASB's favorite (and only) Ground Gym Leader, Its_A_Random! He's rightly known to be one of the best players in the business, and he's brought the Pokemon to prove---wait is that a Sudowoodo? Never mind. Jokes aside, make sure to look out for Dogfish44 the Lanturn; its ability to turn a bad matchup into a very favorable one, in addition to its hp is going to make it a pain to take down.

And in the Red Corner, we have that loser player that nobody likes, Rainman Legends!
"Ahem..."
Oh fine, Rainman Legends isn't that bad, he just uses Pokemon that I have trouble with. He is definitely a competent battler, and has handed me my butt on more than a few occasions, and is currently going for the soon to be vacant most likely Fairy Gym. His team mainly consists of some Pokemon that hardly anybody uses, but that have pretty good strengths to make up for it. Look out for Ifrit the Tauros; a Pokemon that not only has Sheer Force but is also his only Pokemon not naturally weak to Lanturn.
Team Rainman Legends:
Feraligatr (Bull Croc) (M)
Type:
Water: Ignores arena restrictions on Water attacks that require an external water source. Evasive Diving reduced from 6 per action Energy Cost to 5 per action.
Abilities:
Torrent: When this Pokemon's HP is lower than 33%, the Base Attack Power of any water attack is increased by two (2). (eg Water Pulse goes from 6 to 8, Hydro Pump from 11 to 13)
Sheer Force (H): At default this Pokemon can energize all its attacks with a secondary effect (These are damaging moves that either lower the target's stats, raise the user's stats, or inflict a status condition on the target). The Base Attack Power of every move with a secondary effect increases by two (2), but they will never have their usual secondary effect. When toggled, no effect.
Nature: Jolly: +15% Speed, +9% Accuracy, -1 SpA
HP: 100
Atk: Rank 4
Def: Rank 4

Brighten Command: For the next six (6) actions, all this Pokemon's attacks will have their accuracy increased by one stage. Type Exclusive commands can only be used by Pokemon that are naturally that type, and are still available if the Pokemon changes type.
Command Type: Type Exclusive | Accuracy: -- | Energy Cost: 5 | Priority: 0 | CT: None
Abilities:
Flash Fire: This Pokemon thrives in high temperatures, and takes the energy of any opposing fire attack, nullifies the damage, and uses the additional power to boost its own fire attack's Base Attack Power by two (2).
Guts (H): This Pokemon is tenacious and will work ever harder when under a status condition, raising the Base Attack Power of all its physical attacks by two (2). Pokemon with Guts ignore the attack drop from burn.
Nature: Quiet: +1 SpA, Speed ÷ 1.15, -10% Evasion

Tauros (Ifrit) (M)
Type:
Normal: +1 BAP on attacks that match dominant arena type after 3 actions. Unable to have Thrash or Outrage disrupted by oncoming damage.
Abilities:
Intimidate: When this Pokemon initially goes out into the battlefield, it generates an intimidating roar or war cry that shakes all opponents on the battlefield, reducing their Attack stage (and adjusting the natural stage) by one (1). If an opponent switches in a new Pokemon, Intimidate can be activated again as a Command, and will affect all opponents.
Command: Activate Intimidate - 5 En - Lowers all foes' Attack (and adjusting the natural stage) by one (1) stage. Only usable if a foe entered play this round.
Anger Point: When struck with a critical hit, this Pokemon becomes enraged and its Attack rises to maximum (Stage 6). However, its Attack will drop up to two (2) stages at the end of each round instead of one (1) stage until it reaches the current natural stage.
Sheer Force (H): At default this Pokemon can energize all its attacks with a secondary effect (These are damaging moves that either lower the target's stats, raise the user's stats, or inflict a status condition on the target). The Base Attack Power of every move with a secondary effect increases by two (2), but they will never have their usual secondary effect. When toggled, no effect.
