Hello, my friends, and welcome to this Monotype match between Maxim and TheBisharpKing. I am your host and ref, Zarator, and I will attempt to provide thoughtful commentary throughout the match. The type matchup in itself looks quite balanced at first sight. Steel and Dark are neutral against each other since gen 6, and both type pack an average amount of tricks and offensive potential. It will thus come down to the specific matchups we can expect as the battle progresses.
On Maxim's side, Mawile looks like the best MVP candidate. His incredible power and Fairy STAB can hit just about any of TBK's mons surprisingly hard. Not even A-Muk's Fire Blast hits as hard as Mawile's STABs, which is as frightening as it sounds. Furthermore, while Mawile does not necessarily look like a trickster mon, his access to Taunt, Pain Split, Snatch, Torment, Counter, and other moves is granted to put a lot of pressure on TBK's substitutions, with only the mediocre 50 speed holding him back. On the other hand, Metagross does not sound like a particularly reliable pick in this match. With the exception of Honchkrow, all the rest of TBK's squad seems perfectly capable of damaging race it and, short of Explosion, damaging races are all Metagross is good at.
On TBK's side, on the other hand, it is a bit harder to single out a specific, major threat, as every single Pokemon he brought is equally threatening. Sharpedo in particular packs a huge power, thanks to its Mega Evolution's access to Strong Jaw. While it has scant chances to coming on top in a 1v1 against Mawile, the rest of Maxim's squad is in a very dire spot against the shark. Furthermore, Muk's Power of Alchemy should not be underestimated, with several good picks available from his team mates. And by now, we all know what Greninja is capable of. In comparison, Honckrow does feel a bit less reliable, partly because of a physically oriented set up which matches up poorly against Maxim's tough squad.
But then again, the battle flow could change many of these assessments in both ways. So, without further ado, let us get down to business.

Nature: Brave

[Abilities]
Poison Touch (Toggle)
By default, this Pokemon's body is covered with a film of poison. Whenever it hits an opponent with a contact attack, that opponent has a 30% chance of being Poisoned. When toggled, this Pokemon's natural toxins are more potent. As a result, all of this Pokemon's attacks that inflict regular poison will inflict Toxic poison instead (with the same chance of effect). If Poison Touch is toggled and Poison Point is on its default effect, contact attacks will trigger a 30% Toxic chance.
Gluttony (Passive)
This Pokemon devours healing and stat increasing berries at 50% health (flat) instead of 25% health (flat). It also regains three (3) HP per action when holding Leftovers.
Power of Alchemy (Trigger) [Unlocked]
When this Pokémon is sent out, it can expend six (6) EN to use its molecular composition to absorb an ability of a fainted ally, replacing this ability with the chosen. If in a multiple battle an ally faints while this Pokémon is active, at the start of the next round: it can expend six (6) EN to use its molecular composition to absorb one ability of the fainted ally, replacing this ability with the chosen.
Command: Activate Power of Alchemy - 5 En - Replace Power of Alchemy with the ability of a fainted ally for six (6) actions.

Greninja [M] [Black * Star]
Nature: Modest
Type: Water/Dark
[Abilities]
Torrent (Passive)
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)
Protean (Toggle) [Unlocked]
By default, this Pokemon switches their type before striking with each damaging attack to match the attack they are about to use, and keep that type until another damaging move is used. The energy cost for the attack is calculated based on their type before using the move. When toggled, the Pokemon reverts back to their natural typing. Pokemon that also have Color Change ability may select whether to keep their current type or the damaging attack's type each action.

Hello, my friends, and welcome to this Monotype match between Maxim and TheBisharpKing. I am your host and ref, Zarator, and I will attempt to provide thoughtful commentary throughout the match. The type matchup in itself looks quite balanced at first sight. Steel and Dark are neutral against each other since gen 6, and both type pack an average amount of tricks and offensive potential. It will thus come down to the specific matchups we can expect as the battle progresses.
On Maxim's side, Mawile looks like the best MVP candidate. His incredible power and Fairy STAB can hit just about any of TBK's mons surprisingly hard. Not even A-Muk's Fire Blast hits as hard as Mawile's STABs, which is as frightening as it sounds. Furthermore, while Mawile does not necessarily look like a trickster mon, his access to Taunt, Pain Split, Snatch, Torment, Counter, and other moves is granted to put a lot of pressure on TBK's substitutions, with only the mediocre 50 speed holding him back. On the other hand, Metagross does not sound like a particularly reliable pick in this match. With the exception of Honchkrow, all the rest of TBK's squad seems perfectly capable of damaging race it and, short of Explosion, damaging races are all Metagross is good at.
On TBK's side, on the other hand, it is a bit harder to single out a specific, major threat, as every single Pokemon he brought is equally threatening. Sharpedo in particular packs a huge power, thanks to its Mega Evolution's access to Strong Jaw. While it has scant chances to coming on top in a 1v1 against Mawile, the rest of Maxim's squad is in a very dire spot against the shark. Furthermore, Muk's Power of Alchemy should not be underestimated, with several good picks available from his team mates. And by now, we all know what Greninja is capable of. In comparison, Honckrow does feel a bit less reliable, partly because of a physically oriented set up which matches up poorly against Maxim's tough squad.
But then again, the battle flow could change many of these assessments in both ways. So, without further ado, let us get down to business.
