Erm, anyway. We are here to watch one of the three battles that will determine who will be the first Normal Type Gym Leader. This battle is SimonSays vs Yarnus of Bethany! SimonSays is a veteran with a pechant for good music and challenging moderators. His two goals in life are: defeat all moderators and become a Gym Leader. He is failing miserably on the first lol so he may focus more on the second. If you see how his Taillow Tsar smashed the Hall, you will see that he actually has a good shot at that. Pay special attention to Creon the Slaking. Even though its not the case with Yarnus, most normal teams are weaker to physical attacks. Regardless, Creon is extremely strong and has a good movepool. If SimonSays can handle the loafing around (and as a player that uses Slaking as an avie, he should know) then Yarnus is in for trouble! On one side of the field we have Yarnus of Bethany. Yarnus is a player with a clear goal in mind and 100% focus on it: he wants to be a Gym Leader. Due to that, he is preparing his Normal-Type Pokemon from the get-go: Every single one of his pokemon is of the normal type, even his first ones, something quite unusual. With this kind of experience, you can expect to see someone who knows the ins and outs of going monotype AND of the Normal Type. Pay special attention to Pow! the Ambipom. SimonSays's team is more...mischeavous than Maxim's and here a good offense with good speed (all taunt) works like a charm and Pow! has both. A good fake out is a lot valuable in doubles and Pow's leave a good sting! BUT ENOUGH, LET'S SEE THOSE MONS! Team SimonSays
Creon the SLAKING
Dame the TOGEKISS
Marquis the SCRATCHET
Jester the KECLEON

PorygonZ doesn't have Bide, so you'll need to reorder, Yarnus.

Before I switch or not, are you equipping an item?

I understand fear. I know it to the very deepest. And I have learned a lesson from it: never back down.
No counterswitch. |

I despise the under-handed trickery of relying on full paralysis. I have drawn first blood, and I well draw last. Improve your strategy or be humiliated.
Pow! Focus Punch Creon, Snatch Creon, Focus Punch Creon If fully paralyzed a2, Fury Swipes a3 Zap! Pain Split Creon, chill, Pain Split Creon If fully paralyzed a1, swap the actions that would be happening on a2 and a3 If fully paralyzed a2, swap the actions that would be happening on a2 and a3 I hope you don't hax your way out of this.

Round 3 If it weren't for a Full Paralysis on PorygonZ A1, things would be glorious for Yarnus this turn. They were just good. Simon, you better pick up some slack, as your main pokemon is kiiinda weak.

Yes, that's what I mean.
Still think it's silly that Lax Incense doesn't boost SnorLAX.
