Why are Rick and Yarnus Scratching this Simple Arena?

Gooooooooood morning Ichi- wait a minute, I'm not watching Bleach right now? I actually have a match to ref? But that's nonsense, I've been doing only RP's for so long... well shit, looks like I did sign up to ref this after all. Well uh... let's just get up the rules and Pokemon to spare me from any more embarrassment.
Open Challenge:
Babysitter doubles - 1 FE+1NFE
Open Items
All Abilities
Any simple arena
O hai thar.

I'll show you to choose your words more carefully. Accepting this match.

3 Day DQ
2 Subs per mon
0 recovers/chills
Simple Arena! (Every mon is also gifted with the ability Simple)
I'm assuming that it gets Simple in addition to the abilities it already has, but if Simple is supposed to override the abilities a Pokemon already has, just tell me.

Rick's fighting duo:

ScratchetM.png

Shaman (Scratchet) M
Nature: Adamant (Adds 1 to Atk; Subtracts 1 from SpA)
Type: Normal/Fighting
Normal: Normal STAB; adapt comfortably to any surrounding after 3 actions. Able to use Outrage without losing focus.
Fighting: Fighting STAB; ignore weight restrictions on Circle Throw, Seismic Toss, Sky Drop, Storm Throw, Submission, and Vital Throw. Superior reaction time in close quarters.

Abilities:
Scrappy: (Innate) This Pokemon’s Normal and Fighting attacks carry a special signature that can damage Ghosts, even if they have phased out.
Prankster: (Innate) The Pokemon is always prepared for engaging in sneaky tactics and trickery, giving its non-damaging attacks an increase in priority level.
Vital Spirit (DW): (Innate) This Pokemon has a high vitality and alertness making it immune to sleep induced by other Pokemon. Its normal state of sleeplessness makes it take 1 less damage/action from Ghost Curse. If it is put to sleep by a Pokemon with Mold Breaker it will wake up the next action.

Sableye (Garnet) (M)
Nature: Sassy(Special Defense raised by *; Speed lowered by 15%, Evasion reduced by a flat 10%)
Type: Dark/Ghost
Dark: Dark STAB; Immunity to all telepathic and telekinetic attacks, better performance in all darkened and especially twilight conditions. Can use any Dark-type attack regardless of Attraction.
Ghost: Ghost STAB; brief intangibility that nullifies Normal and Fighting-type attacks. Can move through walls for a brief period of time but must remain in motion. Superior senses in low light and inside dark buildings. Have no vision reduction in hazes.

Abilities:
Keen Eye: (Innate) This Pokemon has extremely good vision and cannot have its accuracy lowered by an opponent through any means (including accuracy lowering attacks, Smogs, Hazes, Fog, etc.). Its attacks are still affected by an opponent’s evasion and the Pokemon's own accuracy.
Stall: (Innate) This Pokemon has a watchful eye and immense patience. It can be ordered to attack last on any action regardless of ordinary attack priority. If an opponent orders their Pokemon to attack after Sableye, that attack will fail. Against another Sableye, the trainer who issues attacks first has precedence and the opponent's attack will fail.
Prankster (DW): (Innate) The Pokemon is always prepared for engaging in sneaky tactics and trickery, giving its non-damaging attacks an increase in priority level.

I ref (hopefully on time too)
 
Garnet takes my Everstone, Shaman takes my Exp. Share.

This is actually a really bad match-up for me.

Shaman; Brick Break (Scratchet) > Toxic (Yum!) > Brick Break (Scratchet)
IF Yum! uses successful Protect A2, redirect to Scratchet

Garnet; Will-O-Wisp (Scratchet) > Will-O-Wisp (Yum!) > Toxic (Scratchet)
 
I'm assuming that you meant to target Shaman with that second Focus Punch combo but umm... goddamn isn't that a bit too much? What did that Scratchet even do to you @_@

I must say, I enjoyed this little game. But I've had my fun, and now I need to move onto the next souls.

fake out > detect > sucker punch


I like that we completely ignored the arena.
 
WAIT A MINUTE
WE'RE ALL DERPS

Scratchet is a Normal-type. Normal-types are immune to Night Shade. As this obviously changes the match a lot, Rick should probably go ahead and re-order.

Scratchet fainted!

And despite yarnus' best efforts to keep his last Pokemon standing, the damage dealt by status ailments makes it look like he won't even make it through this round after that Fake Out! However, right before Scratchet could deal a devastating blow to Garnet, the Sableye throws a Sucker Punch at Scratchet, knocking it out! Rick wins the match!

Prize time!

Rick gets 1 CC
Shaman the Scratchet gets 1 EC, 3 MC, and 1 DC
Garnet the Sableye gets 3 MC and 2 KOC (I think it gets the KOC from Yum through Will-o-Wisp, but I'd get it confirmed first)

Yarnus gets 1 CC
Scratchet gets 1 EC, 3 MC, and 1 DC
Yum! the Lickilicky gets 3 MC and 1 KOC

I get 4 UC

Thanks for letting me ref, folks!
