is a Site Content Manager Alumnusis a Contributor Alumnus
1v1 singles
no evolved/single-stage pokemon (e.g. Gyarados, Skarmory, Marshtomp or Blaziken)
Arena: Small town at the base of the Himalayas
The sheer cliffs of the Himilaya mountains, combined with the cold temperatures make Fire type moves near impossible to use, while severely boosting rock, Water and Ice type moves...
The small viliage features a surprisingly urban environment, making Poison types feel more at home, but the town can be left for a very sudden change in scenery...
Battlers will start in the central courtyard, quite small with several exotic fruit stands crowding the area. With a cobblestone floor, digging is impossible unless the town is left, where the sheer cliffs make a very unstable battle...

Poison types Boosted

Pikabolter, you're up!
​
 
Ok So its Bulbasaur

Umm...

Ebony start with a Sweet Scent to lower Bulbasaur's evasion then use Sword Dance to give yourself an attack boost and finish up with a Rock Slide

Sweet Scent ~ Sword Dance ~ Rock Slide
 
ok then, let's start with a Sleep Powder to put Embirch to sleep, then follow up with Sludge Bomb twice for some SE STAB, and finally

IF sleep powder misses 1st time, sub the 1st sludge bomb for another sleep powder!

Sweet Scent ~ Swords Dance ~ Rock Slide

As Embrich and Bulbasaur stare at each other with rivalry, friendship, and determination mixed into their eyes, they both square each other looking for the perfect time to strike. Although its short, stubby legs make it look almost impossible, Bulbasaur seems to be the more agile of the two and begins with a Sleep Powder. Embrich barely evades this as the RNG rolls an impressively close 7628. Wow! Looks like Embrich dodged a bullet there. Relieved it won't have to take another Sludge Bomb straight to the face, Embrich starts to emit a scent. Not just any scent, but this one smells rather soothing. Like a vanilla candle! Bulbasaur almost becomes attracted to it and lets down its guard a bit!

Embrich draws in a little closer to get a good hit on Bulbasaur. With Fire-type STAB and everything, you'd think that it would use an incinerating Fire-type move. It doesn't, however, and prepares to use Rock Slide. Bulbasaur tries to fend it off with a Sleep Powder, but it can't seem to get it out on time! We all look at the random number generator as we see Bulbasaur's arch nemesis, 9,904/10,000. Scared, cringes. Embrich only used Swords Dance, though!


Lastly, Bulbasaur decides to attack. A huge funnel of sludge emerges from its bulb and hits Embrich smack in the face. In fact, it looked to poison it! That must have hurt a LOT. Embrich responds with a Rock Slide, which didn't hurt nearly as much, and then takes some poison damage! The game can still go either way!

Dark Pulse, your turn!
 
ok, considering my Post got deleted twice, I'm going to say...

Sleep Powder~Sludge Bomb ~ Sleep Powder/attack

IF Embirch is asleep on action three, then use EITHER:

Sludge Bomb OR
Nature Power - is Nature power Rock Slide or EQ??? If it's rock slide, use it, otherwise, use Sludge Bomb

IF you think that that's not a valid substitution, just use Slidge Bomb (sorry for all the complexities and whatnot)
 
Ok now, Embirch use another Sword Dance to give yourself another attack boost, then use Rock Slide to make a wall for defence against Sludge Bomb and then jump over the wall with a slam
Bulbasaur's bulb with a Flame Wheel

Sword Dance ~ Rock Slide ~ Flame Wheel

If fallen asleep during action 1, then replace action 2 and 3 with Sleep Talk

Another exciting round of the battle Dark Pulse vs. pikabolter arises! This time, Bulbasaur is the one who looks confident while Embrich is looking scared to death! Wasting no time, Bulbasaur immediately begins to attack Embrich. Shooting a yellow powder from its back, it makes a powerful grimace on across its face and watches. Embrich starts to run. It runs as fast as it can, but the powder is just too fast. It tries burning it. Nothing! As the Sleep Powder becomes inches away from Embrich, it quickly pulls out some swords and deflects it. Woah, what was that?! It seemed to be a Swords Dance as Embrich's Attack flew up look a rocket.

Sad that it couldn't land Sleep Powder on Embrich, Bulbasaur's next plan is to use Sludge Bomb. Remembering how much damage Sludge Bomb did last round, Bulbasaur knows this is the best way to go. Sludge fills the bulb on its back as it fires off a Sludge Bomb on Embrich. Ouch! Embrich responds with a Rock Slide, which, off of its very high Attack stat, did a high amount of damage! 16 actually.

Lastly, Bulbasaur uses Sleep Powder again. Embrich tries to dodge it with its fancy moves, but it just can't. Instead, it uses Sleep Talk! While it mumbles in its sleep, it uses Blaze Kick! Wow, that did a lot of damage too!

pikabolter is up.
 
anyway, I don't think Pikabolter is going to post anytime soon, so I'll just post:

Sludge Bomb ~ Sludge Bomb ~ Quick Attack!

That should finish the game off nice and quick... I want to give Bulba that KOC, so I'd guess that Pikaboler would:

Sleep Talk~Sleep Talk~Rock Slide/Blaze Kick

...but 2 sludge bombs will KO it, so the last move isn't really necessary...
 
Close Dark Pulse, but not close enough!

Ok Embirch use Sleep Talk then use Sleep Talk again and then finish up with a Rest to recover yourself.

Sleep Talk ~ Sleep Talk ~ Rest
 
...well I'd say Rock Slide, Blaze Kick, Swords Dance, Flame Wheel

I'll speak to Pikabolter IRL, and edit with the actual post (but just do the RNG rolls and Bulbasaur's expected damages if you haven't done them yet [but you probably have])

EDIT: Ok! Pikabolter said that was fine, but swap SD for Sweet Scent

An extremely close battle comes to an end! Bulbasaur uses Sludge Bomb, which looked like it hurt quite a bit. Next, Embrich uses Sleep Talk and gets a Blaze Kick! Awesome. Bulbasaur's next Sludge Bomb leaves it with exactly 2 HP, but then poison kills it! This extremely close battle ended due to one round of poison, WOW!

Everyone gets 2 TC.

All the pokes get 1 EC, 2 MC, and 1 DC. Bulbasaur gets a KOC. I get 2 RC. Cool!
 
yay! GG!

...but hang on... wouldn't embirch get to use another Sleep talk first?

oh... it used sweet scent...

lol! Praise the HAX gods!

also:
"what? Bulbasaur is evolving?"

Thanks to the EC from this battle (not the KOC) - Bulbasaur can Evolve into Ivysaur! :D
