No evolved Pokes

Arena: Cave
We are battling deep inside a cave where there is minimal light. There is no water, and no weather type moves can be used. The walls are made of solid rock, so digging is extremely difficult. Pretty simple.

Objection's actions then Pippy's!

[Objection]

I will send out Gaston the Machop.

Begin Gaston by making a 25 HP Substitute then use Low Kick. If your substitute is broken by the time it's your turn again, make a 15 HP Substitute. If not, use Low Kick again.

[Pippy]

O_o Well that's not good. Alright, start off with a Screech to terrify him and lower his defense. Then use Rock Climb to break his sub, followed up by a powerful Earthquake

Round 1: Cave

Apparently we're battling in a cave with minimal light? Well, Gaston's No Guard ability solves all problems with accuracy!

A intimidating Rocky begins the match by Screeching loudly at Gaston's ears, lowering his Defense by a good margin! He doesn't really mind, however, as he sets up a quick and bulky Substitute to do his bidding. Not liking the sight, Rocky uses the power of his Rock Climb attack to smash the Substitute... though it's still there and rocking! This gives Gaston a free turn to slam his foot against Rocky's tail with a Low Kick, dealing some major damage! This angers the evilness deep within Rocky and causes him to make a Earthquake! This shakes the entire cave and dozens of rocks and dirt fall from the ceiling as a result... though they won't have any effect of the battle. Apparently Gaston's Substitute has faded away... which makes him create another buddy Substitute! Always better with 2 against 1, right?

Calculations

Rocky
A1: Screech > [6 Energy]
A2: Rock Climb > 9 + (0) + (3) = [12 Damage/7 Energy]
A3: Earthquake > 10 + 3 + (0) + (3) = [16 Damage/6 Energy]
Shatters the Substitute.

Gaston
A1: Substitute > [22 Energy]
-25 HP
A2: Low Kick > (12-1 [STURDY]) + 3 - (4) x 1.5 = [15 Damage/4 Energy]
A3: Substitute > [12 Energy]
-15 HP

Pippy's actions!

[Pippy]

Destroy his sub with Earthquake, then wrap him up with Bind so he can't kick you. Finish with Harden to raise your defense and make the binding hurt that much more. If he tries to sub again, use Earthquake until it's destroyed.

Round 2: Kave

Rocky's anger is about to blow like a volcano - he summons a furious Earthquake that slams onto Gaston's Substitute and breaks it! For some odd reason, this counts as if a part of Gaston was hurt and he Counters back for 30 points of damage. That must've hurt the big old rock snake!

Afterward, Rocky immediately goes toward Gaston and wraps his Tail around him for a Bind! What tough squeezing he's doing! However, even when he's stuck, Gaston is able to plop a Substitute to replace him as he magically "gets out" of the Bind! What madness is this?

To Rocky, it's Substitute-destroying time! He lays Gaston's Substitute onto the ground and creates another Earthquake to rock it up! It's not destroyed at all... JUST AS PLANNED! Gaston's, from behind, goes for the Counter attack and smashes Rocky for major damage! The power of the attack was so overwhelming that it caused Gaston to lose focus over his bind and stop!

Rocky
A1: Earthquake > 10 + 3 + (0) + (1.5) = 14.5 ~ [15 Damage/6 Energy]
Shatters the Substitute.
A2: Bind > 4 + (0) + (1.5) = 5.5 ~ [6 Damage/3 Energy] (hits real Gaston)
A3: Earthquake > 10 + 3 + (0) + (1.5) = 14.5 ~ [15 Damage/6 Energy]

Gaston
A1: Counter > (23-1) = [22 Damage/16 Energy]
A2: Substitute > [14 Energy]
-17 HP
2 bind damage
A3: Counter > (23-1) = [22 Damage/16 Energy]
Causes Rocky to lose focus on bind

Objection's actions!

[Objection]

Counter does 1.5x original attack damage not 2x original attack damage. Also, it says in the calculations that the second earthquake shatters the substitute but it says in the summary at the end that the substitute is still there with 2 HP remaining.

With that in mind, my actions are as follows: No-one Low Kicks like Gaston, no-one Karate Chops like Gaston and no-one Low Kicks like Gaston.

If the substitute has actually already gone and Rocky uses Earthquake on the second action, replace your second action with Counter because no-one counters like Gaston.

[Pippy]

Alright Rocky, let's finish this! Use Rock Climb to break the sub, then set off 2 powerful Earthquakes.

Round 3: Cayve

Eying the Substitute with hatred, Rocky goes in a Rock Climb and breaks the Substitute with his huge body. Right after that, a wild Gaston appears and smacks Rocky's lower area with a Low Kick! This angers Rocky like always can causes him to make a huge Earthquake... once again. Gaston is seemingly hurt from the quake, but is strong enough to stay in focus and Counter the move! After the hit, Rocky moans in deep pain and crashes onto the ground like the twin towers, never to open his eyes again...

[Objection]

Are you sure you put in the right calcs? You've put in last round's calcs for Onix. EDIT: Fixed.

Anyway, gg.

[Flora]

Meh, I didn't really care much.

[Pippy]

Wait, the sub wasn't already gone, so shouldn't Gaston not have used Counter?
Anyway, GG.

[Objection]

In that case I would've used Low Kick, Karate Chop, Low Kick, which would've KO'd you anyway since 2 Earthquakes wouldn't have done enough damage.
