Nature: Mild (+1 SpA, -1 Def)
Type: Psychic - psychic STAB; less susceptible to blinding, more susceptible to sound-based assaults as far as locking on with Psychic attacks, can lift and throw opponents with Psychic regardless of Special Attack Rank.

Ability 2: Trace - This Pokemon can copy an ability of the opponent and replace Trace for six (6) actions. Wonder Guard cannot be Traced.
Ability 3: Telepathy (DW) - This Pokemon has a mental link with its allies in multiple battles, which allows it to avoid taking damage from allied attacks that damage each foe or the entire field like Blizzard and Earthquake. They are still affected by an opponents spread damage attacks.

[GemOftheDay]

yoshinite, it's been about 3 days. the DQ time is 3 days.

while I do understand this can be hard to manage, especially since I've been in this situation before, I'm starting to get a little impatient.

sorry to say this, but i'll give you 2 more days or I will have to find a subref.

[yoshinite]

Really guys, I'm like 8 hrs over DQ, please be a little patient._. I do understand that both of you guys are new players, but generally people propose subrefs after they've been like 1-4 days over DQ.-. Also LIA, you have not been waiting "a long time"No flavor, as I'm assuming you guys want this quick.

[lucarioisawesome]

shouldnt zorua used sucker punch on A1 since hammer arm was in a combo?
Anyways:
Hammer Arm+Hammer Arm~cooldown(dig)~rockslide
if zorua detects A1 then chill and push down actions

[yoshinite]

No LIA, I asked on IRC and they said her sub would activate. You were probably thinking of the old mechanics.

[GemOftheDay]

fury swipes + suckerpunch > cooldown > chill

if zorua has no energy for a1, then use suckerpunch > chill > chill

[lucarioisawesome]

bumb for ref

HERE COMES A NEW REFEREE!

Round 3: Drink all the energy
♫Junes Hero


Gooooooood evening, ladies and gentlemen! Ben Lad here; Rico and I'll be picking up the battle from hereonout-


Hold on a sec, Boss...aren't we being plagued by a purse salesman at the moment?


Subref, Rico. Non-canon.


Oh, sweet! That means I can use overly pretentious lines, like, uh...the sum of the squares of the legs of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse!


You're thinking of a right triangle. Anyway, the round starts off with...V...Vwah...I'm not sure how to pronounce that Zorua's name. In any case, he starts off combining a Sucker Punch with Fury Swipes to let loose some Sneaky Claws on Skull! But the Cranidos isn't going to just let this slide...oh no, he sends Maxwell's Silver Hammer Arm falling on V-whatsit's head! Doesn't make sure he's dead, though; and he's not.


And then they don't do anything.


NOPE. Anyway, while Gem's Zorua takes a moment to Chill off some of his fatigue, Skull gathers some Rocks and Slides them onto him, doing a fair amount of damage!

Well, both mons are just about out of energy, so this clash could go either w-


Boss!


What? I'm trying to ref here!


It just occurred to me...if this fight's non-canon for us, does this mean we could do something really outrageous without consequences? You know, like, uh...barrel through a grocery store on the bike while blasting a couple of flamethrowers?

*Ben falls silent for a few seconds, and the scene cuts away to the two doing exactly that.*
