Brandon and Mindstrike watched as the fully-evolved Pokemon began their battle. Float, much faster than the Emboar opposite him, started off the battle, using
Hone Claws to boost both her attack and accuracy! This clearly bored Skrimir though, and he showed his boredom with a loud
Yawn! Float yawned in return, clearly drowsy. Mindstrike looked perplexed, wondering why the powerful Pokemon weren't attacking. "Haha, don't worry little buddy, they'll be attacking soon," Brandon told his Ralts.
Sure enough, Float went on the offensive, launching a massive
Hydro Pump at Skrimir! It hit hard, but the Emboar shook it off and responded with a powerful
Wild Charge! Float took the blow, then shook the ground with a massive
Earthquake! Skrimir braced himself for the blow, and then finished off the round with a
Head Smash! While Mindstrike was awed by the powerful attacks, Brandon checked on the Pokemon.

Calculations
Action 1:
Float used Hone Claws -> 6 energy, +1 attack, +1 accuracy
Skrimir used Yawn -> 7 energy, Float is drowsy (will fall asleep in 3 actions)
Action 2:
Float used Hydro Pump -> (12[BP] + 3[STAB]) * 1.5[SE] = 22.5, rounded to 23 damage, 7 energy
Skrimir used Wild Charge -> 9[BP] + 5.5[Stat Dif.] = 14.5, rounded to 15 damage, 7 energy, 3.75, rounded to 4 recoil
Action 3:
Float uses Earthquake -> (10[BP] + 1.5[Stat Dif.]) * 1.5[SE] + 1.5[Boost Dif.] = 18.75, rounded to 19 damage, 7 energy
Skrimir used Head Smash -> 15[BP] + 5.5[Stat Dif.] = 20.5 damage, rounded to 21 damage, 9 energy, 10.5, rounded to 11 recoil
"Skrimir did a lot of damage to Float, but recoil did a lot of damage to himself as well," Brandon mused. "Good thing Float will be falling asleep soon, so Skrimir will have the chance to make up the difference. Alright, Rolf's up next!"
Rolf, you're up!
