Victory results in automatic entry into Mossdeep. Reffing the entire battle results in automatic-entry into Mossdeep. Both end in information on the location.

4 vs 4 singles
2 substitutions
Switch=ok
Items=on
Unlimited chills and recovers
All abilities

Arena: ???

A huge well leads down into the ocean from what appears to be the ruins of a building. A huge amount of now obsolete and wrecked technology lies scattered around, while the roof is partially caved in as the steel arches holding up stones have collapsed. No natural material exists, and seismic activity is a bad idea. Weather will fail. No other restrictions exist.

I realise I picked all conditions, but these are standard ASM rules.

Team Rediamond:

Gengar

---

Gengar* [Cloak] (Male)
Nature: Timid (+Speed, +19% accuracy, -*Att)

Cloak was one of Griffin's first Pokemon, and remains one of his most powerful, assissting in many of the most difficult battles Griffin enters. He was caught in the Pokemon Tower while Griffin was researching the ghost type, and the connection of life, death, and other worlds in the Mystery Dungeon legends. The prankster of the team, Cloak prefers to use indirect means to force his opponents into submission. Paradoxially, he is quite easy to scare due to being one of the weaker ghosts from Pokemon Tower at the time of his capture, and often being on the recieving end of other, slighly more malicious, tricks. He has developed a fairly close bond with Ninetales and Gardevoir due to being on the same team for a fairly long time. He is wary of many of the newcomer bugs though, and lacks respect of them due to their overreliance on brute force.

Type:
Ghost/Poison: Ghost STAB; brief intangibility that nullifies Normal and Fighting-type attacks, Pain Split, Psychic, Sucker Punch, Telekinesis, Trick, and Will-o-Wisp have Energy Cost reduced by one (1). (Gengar line and pure Ghosts only: moving through walls.),
Poison STAB; immunity to Poison/Toxic, see and breath through smog/smokescreens uninhibited. Dasutodasu, Muk, and Weezing inflict Toxic Poisoning with Solid/Liquid/Gaseous Poison attacks (respectively), Wrap, Haze, and Glare have Energy Cost reduced by one (1).

Ninetales

---

Ninetales (F) [Sunshine] (Female)
Nature: Timid (+Speed, +16% accuracy, -Att)

Despite being apparently overlooked on Griffin's team, she is his favorite and most powerful team member. Originally a gift from his parents before going on a journey to discover more about the Mystery Dungeon legends and to gain more knowledge and power. She is indeed his starter and most trusted Pokemon. Her preffered strategy has always been to power through anything that comes at her with brutal fire attacks, and dealing with situations these can not resolve through the use of trickery, which she is also quite good at. While her skills do not approach Gengar or Gardevoir in this area, she is not too far behind. She views Scizor and Armaldo as crude due to their need to rely on physical blows, but respects Scylant's similar philosophy on battling.

Type:
Fire: Fire STAB; immune to burn, 50% reduction in freeze chance, emit a low glow in dark places, takes additional damage if active open flames are exposed to a water attack. Solarbeam has Energy Cost reduced by one (1).

Diego Armaldo

---

Armaldo(M) Diego Armando
Nature: Adamant (+Att, -SpAtt)

Armaldo is Scizor's rival in most fields, and the two compete regularly over who is the strongest of the bugs. Griffin obtained the claw fossil during an early trip to Hoenn, but mostly forgot about it until a stop in Cinnabar Island during his Kanto journey, where he had it revived into an Anorith. While the Pokemon in new in evolution and as a main team member, it can hold its own due to a substantial amount of time pouring over the tactics of ancient and relatively recent masters with his trainer in his most recent project, to make a complete record of the events of the Nightblade revolution. His brute force and armor are virtually identical to Scizor, so the two compete regularly as rivals for the top bug on Griffin's team. In some contrast to Scizor, he chooses to use some hazard control alongside physical blows. His physical style and lack of trickery have alienated Griffin's first Pokemon, but earned the respect of Scylant, who views him as an older brother alongside Scizor.

Type: Bug/Rock
Bug: Bug STAB; More mobility in dense brush or forest conditions. Gain an extra guaranteed attack on multi-hit moves.
Rock: Rock STAB; Reduce damage from all special attacks by two (2) Base Attack Power during Sandstorm. Able to use Sand Tomb without losing focus.

Scylant

---

Scylant (F) [Scadi]
Type: Ice/Bug
Nature: Mild (+SpAtt, -Def)

Scadi is the most recent addition to Red's team, and one of the most unique. While he's preferred strategy is fast special offense in the vein of Ninetales, she has a liking for powerful freezing blasts that her Compoundeyes make fairly accurate. In general, she is still training but will become one of the most diverse and dangerous offensive presences on Griffin's team when fully trained. Armaldo and Scizor view her as a younger sister that needs to be protected, and Ninetales has warmed up to her fairly quickly due to her fighting style. Gengar is generally displeased, but happy that she can at least take a prank without trying to freeze his face off. Gardevoir is neutral, but dislikes her slightly due to her typing. Scadi was caught in a remote region of the Orange Islands for the purpose of being on Griffin's bug gym team.

Ice: Ice STAB; immune to freezing and Sheer Cold, no vision loss or damage in Hail or snowstorm conditions, perfectly accurate and 30% Protect breaking Blizzard in Hail. Superior senses and mobility in frozen caves and other frigid arenas.
Bug: Bug STAB; More mobility in dense brush or forest conditions. Gain an extra guaranteed attack on multi-hit moves.

Abilities:
Compoundeyes: (Innate) This Pokemon’s complex eyes give it a comprehensive view of the field, making its attack 30% (x1.3) more accurate.
Mountaineer: (Innate) This Pokemon is used to scaling and avoiding rocks. It can avoid damage from Stealth Rock when it switches in, and all Rock-type attacks the round it switches in. In subsequent rounds Mountaineer will not evade Rock-type attacks.
Technician (DW): (Innate) This Pokemon is more skilled at performing weaker moves, causing any of their attacks that normally deal 6 or below base damage to have their base damage multiplied by 1.5. (e.g. Aerial Ace goes from 6 to 9, Mach Punch goes from 4 to 6, etc.) The Energy Cost for a one-hit or two-hit attack is increased by one (1). Each hit in a multi-hit move is boosted by one (1) damage, and the Energy Cost for mutli-hit attacks is increased by two (2).

Yep. Rediamond, attach any items you wish, and choose your first mon. Then Terrador will choose his mon and order. Rediamond will order, and SoS will have himself a reffing.

[Rediamond]

This place

Scylant. Let's go.

[Terrador]

Rather a pity that you didn't take an item for Syclant, Rediamond; it might've helped stop this slaughter.

Flamethrower ~ Heat Wave ~ Flamethrower
IF (Syclant uses Dig), THEN (Use Fly and restart the queue)
IF (Syclant uses Double Team), THEN (Use Heat Wave and restart the queue)

[Rediamond]

I have no good items.

Evasive Dig~Stay Underground~Stay Underground

Some matchups aren't worth fighting.

[Son_of_Shadoo]

To clarify Terrador, you're sending out Charizard, right?

[Terrador]

Oh, yes. Sorry.

Charizard is the only Pokemon for whom those orders are legal, anyhow.

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Red, do I need to know what happens if someone tries to use a seismic attack in here, or is it up to me? Because if it is, I'm going to have SO much fun.

On another note, don't be surprised if I'm slow this week - I'm doing a pantomime in the evenings (I'm the back end of the horse. No, really.) and studying during the day for an exam next Monday. I'll endeavour to ref though.

I am almost certain I've messed up here by the way T_T

Welcome to the fourth promotional match for Rediamond's Animé-Style-Mafia (TM), and tonight we seem to be deep under the sea, in a mysterious, disused building. What purpose could it have had in a previous life? Who knows... Rediamond. Tricky devil. We begin with Syclant, but with the worst possible matchup, versus Terrador's fierce Charizard! Knowing that he can't possibly win in this situation, Scadi ducks for cover under the floor, chuckling gleefully as Draco's attacks sail overhead. Will Rediamond now counterswitch to a better matchup? Time will tell.

Red's orders.

[Rediamond]

It was his domain

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, no.

Switching to Armaldo @ Rawst Berry

Counterswitch?

[Terrador]

Um, no. You were underground at the end of the round; to the best of my knowledge, you cannot switch out. Furthermore, the EC for staying underground was handled incorrectly; I'm looking that up as we speak.

Aight, found it. According to the OP of the most recent SotG, it costs 6 EN to stay underground, and consecutive EN cost is applied. Furthermore, SDS has given to no-go to switching out (backed by every other user who responded on IRC), so yeah, that's not going to happen either.

[Rediamond]

Hmm? We should probably update the data audit thread for that. Both the energy cost and the switching out. And I thought Deck just said he was considering doing it... didn't know he actually did it.

But that aside, I will edit in orders after I see just how badly this went for energy.

Dig~U-turn~Dig

If Earthquake or Fly action Three, use counter instead

[Terrador]

Gotta love Size Class Three; I'm not getting hit (bar U-Turn) this round! Yay!

I'll fix the energy stuff now then, and ref later tonight.

The battle continues in these mysterious underwater ruins, and with Scadi trapped in the battle by refusing to resurface at the end of last round, Draco unleashes a furious firestorm for insane damage, boosted by his Charcoal! Scadi safely manages to U-Turn out, but with only a single hitpoint left, and having barely scratched the fearsome dragon. Rediamond's in a terrible position, right from the start. Can he turn it around?

[Rediamond]

Then he lost it

"Scylant, for the match-up you performed decently. Leave this fight to Armaldo."

Armaldo@Rawst Berry

[Terrador]

Uh, SoS...

Two notable things are wrong with your reffing.
1) Red's sub should've activated on A3, resulting in Syclant attempting to use Counter (more on this later)
2) Flamethrower deals (10+3+3)*2.25+4=40 DMG, not 38. Syclant ends the round at -1 HP.

TL;DR Syclant is dead. Rediamond, I assume that you still want to switch Armaldo in?

[Rediamond]

Yes.

[Terrador]

I'll make a switch to Mighty the Garchomp; do you want to counterswitch?

[Rediamond]

Counterswitch to Gengar at nothing.
Will-o-Wisp~Shadow Ball~Ice Punch
IF Outrage or Dragon Rush, use Counter.
Let's make the best of a bad situation.

[Terrador]

In your own words, let's make the best of a bad situation; guess what? Hazards WORK in ASB. Let this battle teach you that lesson!

Protect ~ Stealth Rock ~ Dragon Tail

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Oh Jesus, I completely missed that sub. I am so sorry.

Second, that's odd. I'm pretty sure I calced it the same way the first time (during reffing) and second time (now), and came up with 38 then and 40 now. I don't even -_- Will ref at a later stage...

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Or, y'know, a week later. That works too. Things should be less slow from now on though.

By the way Red, your type descriptions on Gengar are outdated. I recommend fixing that.

Both battlers switch to new Pokémon, with Cloak the Gengar now facing off versus Mighty the Garchomp, possibly the most obvious naming choice in the history of ASB. However, Mighty takes a decidedly defensive approach at first, erecting a green shield against Cloak's flame attack, protecting against a potential burn - smart move. Cloak follows up with a dark orb, that impacts on Mighty's scales for considerable damage, but Mighty seems disinterested, and simply throws rocks about the arena - a strange strategy, will it pay off? Well, as a frigid fist collides with him, Mighty uses Cloak's own momentum against him, smashing his tail into him so hard that he retreats to his Pokéball in favour of Sunshine the Ninetales! And now the rocks' purpose becomes clear, as they become sentient, and smack her about, made worse by her fire typing - and Drought won't help her here, beneath the sea!

Red, attach an item to Ninetales if you want, then Terrador orders.

And found it again

Switching to Celeste the Starmie. Problem?

I can identify when a situation can not be won. Ninetales, your time is not now. Let Gengar return and fight.

Shadow Ball~Dark Pulse~Shadow Ball
IF Bide, use Mean Look~Toxic~Shadow Ball with Mean Look correlating to the first action of Bide.
IF Dive, use Counter for fun.

[Terrador]

Well, Red, I'm happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but Stealth Rock is the best move of all time.

Of all time.

12+((8+3+1.5(4-2))*1.5)+(13+3+1.5(4-3)+4~^)+((8+3+1.5(4-2))*1.5)=12+21+22+21=76>71, and I only take 39 DMG (barring crits and SpD drops) to boot. I could Double Team, but I'll take a clean skirmish victory here.

Psyshock ~ Brine ~ Psyshock
