Challenging TravelLog to a match!

3v3 singles
2 day DQ time for battlers, 3 day DQ time for ref (but please, try not to take 3 days each time)
No move or pokemon restrictions whatsoever (except for those in the arena description)
Arena: Mauville Game Corner

Being an indoors arena, weather moves/abilities cannot be used. There is no external water source for moves like Surf, and seismic moves like Earthquake and Earth Power would do too much structural damage and are also banned. Dig is OK though.

Both trainers have the option of playing roulette once each round except on round 1. This does not take up an action but it does cost 10% of the pokemon's max HP and 5 energy and happens at the start of a round. Here is a crude illustration of the roulette wheel:

(yeah they're meant to be equally sized spaces but I couldn't get them equally sized so this'll have to do)


Trainers may bet on a particular space (eg, orange makuhita), a particular colour (eg, green) or a particular pokemon (eg, azurill). If there are any bets, the roulette wheel will be spun and it has an equal chance of landing on each space (1/12). If a trainer wins, their pokemon gets one of the following prizes:

• Bet on a particular colour: pokemon regains 20 HP and 10 energy
• Bet on a particular pokemon: pokemon regains 25 HP and 10 energy and its most recently acquired status effect is removed
• Bet on a particular space: pokemon regains 50 HP and 25 energy and all status effects on it are removed

The stake of 10% max HP and 5 energy is not returned under any circumstances.

Switch=KO
Items=Off

Objection sends out his mons, TravelLog sends out and acts, etc. etc. You both know how it works.

I will begin with Captain Hook the Privatyke.

Might want to mention that it's all abilities in the rules.

Let's go with Hephaestus the Metagross.

IF he uses Yawn replace your next action with Refresh

Even with the disadvantage of having an unevolved Pokemon against a mighty Metagross, Objection played the first round excellently. Poor TravelLog - he didn't know that Refresh only cures Poison, Burn, and Paralysis, and used up that action in vain.

- Captain Hook uses Waterfall (hit). 13 DMG, 6 Energy

[TravelLog]

Sleep~zen headbutt x2

Also, it doesn't particularly matter, but zen headbutt does 21 damage, not 20, so he should have 1 less HP. I should have 1 more as you rounded twice (9+1.5+1.5=12 rather than 13) Secondly, his first bulk up expired at the end of this round I believe.

Sorry to nitpick lol

[Terrador]

I actually spoke incorrectly when I said that it ended at the end of R2; it was supposed to end after Round 3, since it was the last action of the round. Zen Headbutt does (8+3+3)*1.5-1.5=19.5~20 DMG. You seem to think that Zen Headbutt's BAP is 9, when in reality...

Zen Headbutt: The Pokemon focuses all of its willpower to its head, and rams the foe head-on. The focused willpower may disrupt the opponent's own will, causing it to flinch.

Attack Power: 8 | Accuracy: 90% | Energy Cost: 6 | Effect Chance: 20% | Typing: Psychic | Priority: 0

Carry on.

[Objection]

Focus Punch - Recover - Waterfall

If flinched on second action, change third action to Recover

What a match this has been. A mere Privatyke going head-to-head with a full-grown Metagross, and holding its own! However, it looks like Metagross is getting a foothold - will it KO Captain Hook and so give Objection the advantage in the next matchup? Tune in next round to find out!

I'd like to play the roulette for 10 HP and 5 energy. I will bet on the colour green.

Captain Hook, go Waterfall - Waterfall - Mach Punch

[TravelLog]

Zen Headbutt~Zen Headbutt~Bullet Punch

[Terrador]

Objection, I would like to note that, as per the arena description, you only bet 5 Energy and 10 HP to roll the roulette, as opposed to 10 of each.

tl;dr reffing coming either within the next 20 min or not for a couple of hours.

Roulette isn't mathematically profitable, just saying. Also, Zen Headbutt OHKO's Captain Hook after Roulette's -10 HP. Finally, Zen Headbutt consecutive use penalty is adding up; will Hephaestus live long enough to make in impact on Objection's next Pokemon?

[TravelLog]

Terra, as both objection and I mentioned earlier, I had to change my actions since the sub was illegal. I therefore did not bet and should have 10 more HP. I will defer to objection though if he feels it is unfair.

[Objection]

It'd be interesting to know which space the roulette wheel landed on, but oh well.

Anyway, I'll have to finish this up with Tremaine the Smoochum. If I recall correctly it was all abilities. Oblivious isn't going to be too helpful but Forewarn might be useful.

[TravelLog]

Let's do some damage here Hephaestus!

Iron Head~Iron Head~Bullet Punch
If he uses Fake Out, use Agility on that action instead of an attack (as I do not believe he can fake me out in succession, it should only occur once if at all)

[Objection]

Fake Out - Hidden Power Ground - Hidden Power Ground

Also, I can Fake Out however many times I like. I just can't flinch with it more than once. Speaking of which, since Fake Out has priority and flinches on its first use, your substitution actually does absolutely nothing.
