tavok nails the type advantage this round, but Eternal Drifter manages to make lemonade. With some solid substitution abuse, Delphox forces Empoleon into not only doing a poor amounts of damage, but draining its own energy. Earthquake does pitiful damage, but does more than expected thanks to a critical hit. Still, Eternal Drifter came out on top this round by crippling Empoleon with a burn and a switch advantage.

[tavok]

Uuuh Birkal, Delphox uses Light Screen, not Reflect. Like, why would I order Empoleon to use Earthquake if Reflect is up .-.
EDIT: Oh, also, Empoleon has Rank 3 Atk, not 4. This may affect its combo vs Zoroark, too.

 

[Birkal]

Fixed it all.

 

[Eternal Drifter]

Sorry for the delay.

Unknown to joy, feeling eternal regret...

Switching to Achisuto the Smeargle.

Counterswitch?

 

[tavok]

Nah, go ahead.

 

[Eternal Drifter]

Well, then...

Action 1: Thief
Action 2: Focus Blast
Action 3: Low Kick

IF Protective/Evasive action, use Roar and push actions back. Only use this substitution ONCE.
IF Bide is ordered, use Nasty Plot that action and Calm Mind the following action, pushing actions back.

 

[tavok]

Oh nice Zoroark right there.

Signal Beam - Signal Beam - Signal Beam + Hyper Beam
- IF your opponent has less than 50 HP when you would move A2 THEN Brine A2 and A3 instead.
- IF your combo misses THEN murder Birkal.

(I think you forgot burn damage last round, and the second Aura Sphere did not crit, not that that part matters.)
