Well, I only brought two, so I'll sent out Cyclost and Loch. But what's this?! Cyclost uses his EC from this match to evolve into Dusclops;

Cyclost the Dusclops


I included the moves he picks up from evolving (the punches and gravity).

deadfox081 Jul 25th, 2011 3:20:04 AM

Ok, lets go with Prika and Puncha and see how that works out for us. Until further notice we will consider Prika's Poison Point disabled, while Puncha's Sheer Force is enabled.

Prika: Water Sport > Toxic (Dusclops) > Sludge Bomb (Dragonair)

Puncha: Taunt (Dusclops) > Hammer Arm (Dragonair) > Drain Punch (Dragonair)
IF you are not targeted with an attack for either Action 2 or 3 THEN replace your ordered move with Focus Punch (Dragonair)

rickheg Jul 25th, 2011 10:38:19 AM

Alright guys, let's do this! I think our best best is to team up and eliminate Prika first, since we can hit her super effective. Although wow, that thing is bulkier than I expected...

Cyclost, since we can't avoid that Taunt, it takes away a lot of our best options...so just blast her with your best offensive moves, Ice Punch Prika, then Night Shade Prika, then finish up with another Ice Punch on Prika.

Loch, you have a bit more options, but we don't need them right now. Ice Beam Prika, then fire a Twister, hitting both, then follow up with another Ice Beam on her.

That aughta leave her pretty low on health. Also, If Prika faints, direct all remaining actions to Puncha

Darkamber8828 Jul 27th, 2011 5:40:05 AM

ugh i forgot about this until 2:30 in the morning

btw rick your dragonair still says dratini on it j/s

Round 1: ITT The Beginning Of An Epic Middle Cup Battle! (but lc is far better)

Cyclost, imbued with sufficient power, glows brightly (sorta weird for a ghost) and evolves from an ugly Duskull into a beautiful Dusclops! Oh, the power! It high-fives Cyclost's face!

He's still slower than a flaming, stationary train wreck with no survivors, though. Loch takes the initiative and lands a powerful super-effective hit on Prika with an icy Ice Beam! That's gotta sting. Prika's one sturdy rosey-thorny-plant-person-fairy-thing, though, and she weathers the blow and strikes back with a powerful...Water Sport. Bleh. Well, at least she's shielded from fire attacks for a while, but Loch clearly doesn't gaf. Puncha follows up with a very infuriating Taunt, enraging Cyclost and [u[preventing him from using non-attacking moves[/u] with his rage! Pokemon take swears seriously, y'know. Especially the dark energy ones. Those are especially vulgar.

Loch, still pristine, majestic, and untouched by the ravages of war, summons a mighty Twister to batter her foes. Drawing on toxins in her left hand, right hand, head, feet, and body, Prika blasts Cyclost with a deadly Toxic gas, inflicting deadly poison! Guaranteed to piss off defensive Mons since 1973. Meanwhile, Puncha raises a fist and smashes Loch with a powerful Hammer Arm'd steel girder-club! That's gotta hurt, being smashed by a Gurdurr's girder. Cyclost, barely noticing the growing infestation within his ghostly body, fires a Night Shade at Prika, damaging her even further! She's looking worn already!

Sucking in a large breath, Loch blasts Prika with another Ice Beam, but Prika finally returns fire with a Sludge Bomb, which makes for the first and therefore most memorable explosion of the battle! Because all battles must have explosions. Cyclost, still quite pissed about those unfriendly verbal jabs, takes his feelings out on Prika with another Ice Punch. And Puncha, undaunted by his hindered movement, takes advantage of a lull in the battle to FOCUS PUNCH LOCH IN THE FACE, Saxton Hale-style.

rickheg Jul 27th, 2011 5:42:49 PM

Great work, guys. Let's finish off Prika, and then we'll work on Puncha.

Loch, simply Ice Beam Prika until it faints. Use any remaining actions by Toxicing Puncha and then fire a Dragon Pulse at Puncha, if there's time left.

Cyclost, you start work on Puncha. Night Shade, since I know it'll deal consistent damage. Then try a Fire Punch on Puncha, then Hex Puncha, he should be statused by then.

deadfox081 Jul 28th, 2011 6:34:37 AM

Not to be a continual nit picker, but the Focus Punch should have done 22 damage.

(15 [BP] + 2 [Iron Fist] + 3 [STAB] + (4-3)*1.5) = 21.5 = 22

We need all the damage we can get here so those 2 could be very important!

Prika I don't see any way you can be surviving that first attack, but in my usual style I will give you actions just in case of the impossible.

Prika: Leaf Storm (Cyclost) x 3
Puncha: Hammer Arm (Loch) > Detect > Hammer Arm (Loch)

Darkamber8828 Jul 30th, 2011 5:03:50 PM

I had this at around 5:00, but then I fell asleep. Because it was 5:00 in the morning and all. Sorry. I'll try to do it a tad earlier now.

Round 2: Corpse-Cold

Loch Ice Beams Prika and KO's the poor thing straight off the bat. Picking on someone your own size! Who doesn't have a horrible type-disadvantage! Puncha slams Loch with another Hammer Arm to get some vengeance, lowering his speed to the point where even an immovable stonewall like Cyclost can outspeed it, which is very low. But whatever, here comes Cyclost, hitting Puncha with a good ol', reliable Night Shade. Bless you, Night Shade, making calculations easier since 1847.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Puncha SOMEHOW Detects the Toxic and Fire Punch headed his way and leaps out of the way, mindless of his piss-poor speed stat.

...but not for long. Loch connects with a powerful Dragon Pulse, and Cyclost follows up with a not-so-powerful-but-still-pretty-strong Hex. Puncha aims another Hammer Arm at Loch, connecting for some solid damage, but in a two-on-one fight, the poor Gurdurr's having trouble staying in the game.

Ok, I need to see some calculations to work out how that round possibly cost me like 50 energy before I post actions.

Darkamber8828 Jul 31st, 2011 3:37:39 AM

I have no idea how that happened, and forgot to c/p calcs, so I'll do them again in a moment. Sorry.

EDiT: k, done. You LOST 22 Energy, it's not that you had 22 Energy left. Massive stupid on my part. Sorry.

deadfox081 Jul 31st, 2011 10:51:41 AM

Ok then, moving on. We can at least get one KO out of all this...

Mach Punch + Drain Punch Combo (Dragonair) > Cooldown > Sheer Force Poison Jab (Dusclops)

rickheg Jul 31st, 2011 5:03:31 PM

Okay, let's see what we can do...

Loch, Agility to dodge that combo. If it isn't allowed anymore then use ExtremeSpeed to deal some last damage. Then use Thunder Wave, and finish with Dragon Pulse

Cyclost, Toxic so we can start building up damage, then Hex, then finish up with Night Shade

rickheg Aug 2nd, 2011 6:54:53 PM

I think ref DQ was yesterday...
EDIT: Oh, my bad. Ignore me

Round 4: Canadian Doubles Curb Stomp

Puncha activates Sheer Force to gain some extra strength. He's going to need every scrap to take down this deadly duo. Loch uses psychic power to swiftly dodge Puncha's desperate Mach Punch/Drain Punch combination. That's going to be a major problem for Puncha! Cyclost returns an earlier favor, firing some Toxic gas of his own at Puncha and inflicting deadly poison! It's not all bad, though, the pain and strain of the toxins unlock even more power from Puncha, activating his Guts ability!

As Puncha recovers from all that exertion, Loch takes the opportunity to lower the poor thing's speed even FURTHER with a Thunder Wave. What is that, 5 Speed now? It's not much, whatever it is. Cyclost takes advantage of Puncha's weakened state to blast him with a powerful Hex! Puncha can't take much more of this abuse!

Loch follows up with a Dragon Pulse, and Cyclost deals more damage with a Night Shade. Poor Puncha, even while being mauled, he still can't catch a break, being fully paralyzed and unable to do a thing this round!

Well, that turned better than I could have asked for. Okay, let's end this.

Loch, use Dragon Pulse until he faints.

Cyclost, use Hex until he faints.

Also, sorry to both of you for any annoyances I caused you guys.

Round 5: FINISH HIM

GIRDURR SMASH! Puncha connects with his second Mach Punch/Drain Punch combination attack, striking before Loch and KO'ing the poor Dragonair, and getting some health out of it to boot. Cyclost still has a pretty big type advantage, though, and Hexes the HP gain back to status quo.

Puncha pants heavily as he recovers his strength, worn down from his exhausting punches. Cyclost takes the opportunity to Hex him again, KO'ing him after the poison damage!

rickheg wins!

counters in a mo'

Puncha (Girdurr), Prika (Roselia), Cyclost (Duskull), and Loch (Dragonair) get 1 EC, 2 MC, 1 DC.
Puncha, Loch, and Cyclost get 1 KOC.
rickheg and deadfox081 get 2 TC
I get 4 RC

Nice battle! That was a pretty close ending! If Puncha held on for another action, Cyclost woulda died from Energy loss!

deadfox081 Aug 5th, 2011 3:01:09 AM

GG Rick, I was just too badly counter-teamed in that one.
