Wow Colloshale is actually amazingly fast...
And holy fuck that is the scariest thing ever. It has Earthquake.
CRAPCRAPCRAP
Ok Team thisll be tricky, at least we have shinx's Intimidate on our side. If he Earthquakes, I want Joltik and Pilcowatt to protect and counter respectively while Shinx uses Thunder Wave on it. If not, those two should just Thunder Thunderbolt it instead.
edit: ah yes, that's right, I thought there was meant to be something to keep triples a little more balanced... I've removed the last action then.

[Its_A_Random]

"Hmmm...It seems he is after Megawhal, yet he forgot to take Tormeldon into account..."

"Alright, troops align! We seem to be up against a Mono-Electric Side! Good. Anyways, it wouldn't be safe to use Earthquake, since that would only hurt my members as well, but luckily, we have other ideas! First, I want Megawhal to launch a Mud Bomb at Epsilon & blind that thing in the face, enough so it doesn't know where you are, although you won't have much room to move in the oasis. While Megawhal is sadly being used as a punching bag, I want Firmoise to create an ordinary Substitute (20%), & then I want Tormeldon to position himself in front of Megawhal, ready to take the Thunderbolts & retaliate with Earth Power. Luckily it won't affect our side, but it will affect theirs..."

"On to the second & final action of the round, & Megawhal will probably be paralysed, but not to fear. Firmoise, cosy behind his decoy, should try & launch a Seed Bomb at Delta. Then it will be Tormeldon next & he should still try & bodyguard Megawhal from electric assaults, but still, he should roast Omicron with Flamethrower, & to round things off, our (Wounded) Megawhal should try & rock the opposition with Rock Slide."

Remember, only 2 actions per round in triples.

First of all, Megawhal uses Mud Bomb on Epsilon, but it fails to lower accuracy. Next, one after the other, Delta and Omicron use Thunderbolt. But, Tormeldon has positioned himself in front of the attacks! Being slow, he only manages to absorb Joltik's attack, but that definitely extended the life of his partner! Epsilon manages to fire a [B]Thunder Wave/B] at Megawhal successfully however, and it becomes paralyzed! Firmoise uses the chaos to use Substitute, and the round ends with Tormeldon using Earth Power(Earth Power is a move where the target focuses energy to make the ground flare up, so no damage reduction) on Delta.

This time, Tormeldon realises the dangers of Delta's Thunderbolt, and protects Megawhal successfully against it rather than Omicron's. Epsilon just uses Thunder Wave again to no effect. Snuggling well behind a Substitute, Firmoise uses Seed Bomb on Delta, Tormeldon uses Flamethrower on Omicron and finally, Megawhal uses Rock Slide to round out the turn.

"Excellent. This exemplifies the goodness of moves like Earth Power & such..."

"Alright, I'll keep things simple. Tormeldon, I want you to protect Megawhal from (Electric Move), & just spam Earth Power until they're gone. Firmoise, I want you to simply spam Seed Bomb, priority, Delta, Epsilon, Omicron. Lastly, Megawhal, you're job is to spam Rock Slide until they're gone. Let's fuck them up, boys!"

[Lord Jesseus]

Excuse me but since when does Earth Power hit multiple targets?
Anyway, I don't think we can comeback from this but nonethless...
Shinx, I want you to hump over Numel and hit the whale with Wild Charge. Joltik, hit Numel with Energy Ball and Pilcowatt use Scald.
Joltik, use Protect against Rock Slide while the others repeat their moves.
edit: yes, Earth Power is single target, confirmed on irc. So unless there's some special exception or circumstance I'm missing here, I think I'd like to call for that round to be redone.

[Its_A_Random]

Yeah, sorry, I've always thought it hit all targets...

Redo the first round, with Delta the Earth Power Target, then make the second Round Earth Power targets hit in a priority order of Epsilon, Delta & Omicron, changing targets when one faints. A matter of a simple edit to undo the EP damage on Omicron & Epsilon in the first round & continue. My bad for not knowing EP's target...

[Destiny Warrior]

Round 1 redone. WIll edit r2 into this post.

Delta is first to move, with a swift Scald targeting Tormeldon. That must have stung! This is followed by Omicron using Energy Ball on Tormeldon. Epsilon does a flying leap, and with a Wild Charge strikes Megawhal. Firmoise, still cosily enjoying life, uses Seed Bomb on Delta, leaving it barely alive, and Tormeldon uses Earth Power on Epsilon. Megawhal attempt sto use Rock Slide, but is fully paralyzed!

Delta pushes again, with Scald on Numel, while Omicron uses Protect. Epsilon uses Wild Charge on Megawhal once more. Firmoise uses Seed Bomb to finally KO Delta, Tormeldon uses Earth Power on Epsilon, and Megawhal uses Rock Slide on its foes.

Lord Jesseus, your orders please.

[Lord Jesseus]

Ok, let's just try and get rid of the whale so we can at least kill something. Shinx, using your speed, run past any obstacles (ie Numel) and Wild Charge at Colloshale. Joltik, you have considerable speed also; just quickly position yourself so that you can let off a successful Thunderbolt without Numel getting in the way. If it seems unavoidable, or if Colloshale is already gone, just Energy Ball Numel.
Second Action, Shinx will most likely be gone, but if not use Ice Fang on Turtwig. Joltik use Energy Ball, priority: colloshale, Numel, Turtwig.

[Its_A_Random]

Shouldn't Scald be absorbed by Megawhal due to Storm Drain? Oh, wait...

Anyways, Megawhal, start by Sucker Punching Epsilon & get him over & done with. Firmoise, if Megawhal's attack fails, then fire a Seed Bomb at Epsilon & send him into oblivion, otherwise Leech Seed our last opponent: Omicron, & put a timer on him. To cap off action one, Tormeldon should roast Omicron with Flamethrower.

On to action two, & Firmoise should ramp up the damage to Omicron by inflicting Toxic Poison on her, Tormeldon should fling existing rocks from before at Omicron by using AncientPower, & Megawhal should round out with a Rock Slide, using the rocks from AncientPower...If you're still alive...

[Destiny Warrior]

I thought about it(Storm Drain), but I decided to deviate from mechanics with this one due to common sense purposes. Storm Drain is based around water being pulled towards it. Numel is standing right in front of Megawhal to protect it, and things which are attracted don't go up and down an obstacle, they instead hit the obstacle head on. THis particular obstacle isn't fast either.

Epsilon prepares a Wild Charge, and begins to run forward. This is intercepted by a Sucker Punch from Megawhal! THis is too much for Epsilon to bear, and it falls down in a dead faint. Omicron attempts revenge, but realising Tormeldon is protecting Megawhal, chooses to ENergy Ball it. Firmoise takes the chance to use Leech Seed on Omicron, and Tormeldon uses Flamethrower, which leads to a burn!

The next turn, Omicron uses ENergy Ball on Megawhal, leaving it barely conscious. Firmoise, safe, uses Toxic on Omicron. THis is followed by Tormeldon's AncientPower, and Megawhal's Rock Slide, leaving it just hanging on.

Alright, Firmoise, Megawhal, you two have KO Counters, now let Tormeldon have one!

Firmoise, Curse yourself up for a boost, Then Tormeldon, I want to to roast that Omicron with Flamethrower & wrap this up once & for all. Megawhal I want you to pointlessly Leer Omicron if she's still alive.

If for some reason, Omicron is still alive, for example, via Disable, then we'll have to do a second action! In that case, Firmoise Curse again, Tormeldon, use AncientPower to hopefully, deliver the final blow, & Megawhal can chill, if by some margin, he's still alive.

And that will be about it. Let's wrap this up!

[Lord Jesseus]

Might as well go out with a bang. With all your speed and agility, get around that fucking camel and fire an energy ball at Megawhal.
If by some impossible miracle you survive, energy ball again with priority megawhal, then numel

Omicron is the fastest to move, with a quick run around Tormeldon to use Energy Ball. Megawhal holds out very weakly, and FIrmoise chooses to boost up behind its Substitute, with a Curse. Tormeldon uses AncientPower to end the game with a bang of a critical hit!

Rewards
I get 6 RC.
IAR gets 2 TC. Each of his Pokemon get 1 EC, 1 DC, 2 MC and 1 KOC.
LJ gets 2 TC. Each of his Pokemon get 1 EC, 1 DC and 2 MC.

[Lord Jesseus]

Wait... how did Energy Ball do 20 damage the first time but this time do less than 14...?
Oh well, good game IAR. Those Rock Slides caused me some pain, damn multi-hit. I'm annoyed that a Tiny camel can take so many attacks directed a whale but eh...

[Its_A_Random]

gg Lord Jesseus, looks like it's 1-1 between us two now...Thank you for reffing DW, fairly good concise read, just don't forget to change the prefix of the thread...All in all, a fun game of triples, now to claim...

[Destiny Warrior]

I think I made a calc error with the first E-Ball, because E-Ball is 8*1.5 = 12. There is no difference in stats or stage boosts, and it is 2x effective.
