Ooh, I haven't reffed Doubles for a while. I have the feeling I'm going to remember why I hate it...

I'll issue an open challenge, this is a quick training match. I'm bringing middle-stage mons.

2v2 Doubles
2 Day DQ
0 recovers/0 chills

Arena; We're going back to Crystal Colosseum
290px-CrystalColo.jpg

Field Type: Electric/Rock
Complexity: Simple/Moderate
Restrictions: Water source far below (costing extra energy to use), seismic activity will cause crystals to drop, electric and rock moves get +2 BAP, no weather.

This is a colosseum from Pokemon Battle Revolution. It is an underground cave with crystals glowing with electricity (or at least that is how I perceive it). There is a nicely painted arena-rectangle for battling, but that certainly doesn't define any boundaries. This cave is just charged with electricity and full of rock. All electric or rock moves get +3 to their base attack power. There is no water supply except for down below, so it takes extra energy (3 energy) to summon it up for moves like Surf. If any seismic activity should take place, all Pokemon are hit will crystals (a 4 BAP physical electric attack with 3 Attack). Since it is an underground cave, no weather can reach the arena. It should make for interesting battles - it could potentially even be a gym if someone wanted to use it for that!

I need to train some mons now.

404.png

Luxio (Sphinx) M
Nature: Mild (Adds 1 to Special Attack; Subtracts 1 from Defense)

Type: Electric
Electric: STAB; 50% reduction in paralysis chance from other electrical attacks, perfect accuracy and 30% chance of Protect breaking Thunder during Rain. Superior senses in power plant environments.

Abilities:
Rivalry: (Innate)
This Pokemon has a primal response to competition and mating, increasing the Base Attack Power of all its attacks by two (2) when it attacks an opponent of the same gender in the same Egg Group, and decreasing the power of all its attacks by two (2) when it faces an opponent of the opposite gender in the same Egg Group.

Intimidate: (Can Be Activated) When this Pokemon initially goes out into the battlefield, it generates an intimidating roar or war cry that shakes all opponents on the battlefield, reducing thier Attack stage by one (1). The attack drop is maintained at the end of each round. If an opponent switches in a new Pokemon, Intimidate can be activated again as an Action, and will affect all opponents.

Guts: (DW Locked) (Innate) This Pokemon is tenacious and will work ever harder when under a status condition, raising the Base Attack Power of all its physical attacks by two (2). Pokemon with Guts ignore the attack drop from burn.

Rock: Rock STAB; Reduce damage from all special attacks by two (2) Base Attack Power during Sandstorm. Able to use Sand Tomb without losing focus.
Ground: Ground STAB; Immune to all electrical attacks, can Dig through almost any substance, Evasive Digging reduced from 3 per action Energy Cost to 2 per action, superior senses in darkened cave surroundings.

Abilities:
Lightning Rod: (Innate) These Pokemon naturally attract electricity to themselves and away from partners in double battles. When struck with an Electric attack, they transfer the energy into their body, using it to increase their Special Attack by one (1) stage. A boost gained this way by an opponent's attack will be maintained at the end of each round. Self-targeted attacks do not maintain boosts. If a Pokemon has a type immunity to Electric attacks, Lightning Rod will not activate.

Rock Head: (Innate) This Pokemon’s hard body prevents it from taking recoil damage from moves such as Double-Edge, Flare Blitz, and Head Smash.

Reckless: (DW Locked) (Innate) This Pokemon has an innately aggressive nature that lets it use all-out attacks with recoil more effectively. Recoil attacks from this Pokemon have two (2) more Base Attack Power, and recoil percentage is unaffected.

Type: Ground/Ghost
Ground: Ground STAB; Immune to all electrical attacks, can Dig through almost any substance, Evasive Digging reduced from 3 per action Energy Cost to 2 per action, superior senses in darkened cave surroundings.

Klutz: (Can be Disabled) The Pokemon moves in a rare style of battling that uses an unpredictable, clumsy looking manner. The accuracy of its attacks are increased by 10% (flat). While engaging in this style it cannot use a hold item, however an item is necessary to pull it off.
No Guard (DW): (Innate) This Pokemon has an immense confidence from perfecting each of its attacks, giving them all perfect accuracy. Therefore it feels it can weather every strike, and will not dodge an attack even if ordered to. Only when a OHKO move is issued by the opponent does sense return, and the Pokemon acts normally. Additionally even with their extra skill, the power and exhaustion involved in using OHKO moves prevents them from being benefited by No Guard, they will have their normal accuracy.

Rickheg, please state what abilities your Pokémon will be using. Then Deck will release his two Pokémon, give them an ability, and order. Then rickheg will order, and I will ref.

Oh, and rickheg, you should update your profile in registration tower with the total moves for each Pokémon - this affects the new substitution rules.
 
Oh, okay. I guess I'll do that. For now, Luxio has 14, Rhydon has 16.

Sphinx the Luxio will use Intimidate, and Dino the Rhydon will be using his Rock Head.
 
Time for a Ground tag team!

VoltronForce (U)

Knight (M)

Ability: Hyper Cutter


"What will you do when the very earth is your enemy?"

VoltronForce, begin with Earthquake, then use Ice Beam on Dino, and finish up with another Earthquake.

Knight, lead off with Sand Tomb on Dino, then Earthquake, and finish up with Sand Tomb on Sphinx.

Voltronforce:
Earthquake ~ Ice Beam (Dino) ~ Earthquake

Knight:
Sand Tomb (Dino) ~ Earthquake ~ Sand Tomb (Sphinx)
 
I'm not gonna lie, boys. We're in deep trouble, here. But we're gonna give 'em hell!

It's hardly creative, but we need to get in some big damage. So let's just all spam Ice Fang x3 on Gligar. It's the best we can do for now.
 
Hoo boy. Reffing the boss. I don't envy myself right now.... If that's even possible.

Turn Order: Knight >>> Sphinx >>> Dino >>> VoltronForce

Here we are, deep underground in the Crystal Colosseum. I instinctively like this place better than Neon Colosseum (*has many many MANY bad memories*). Anyway, the seeker of today's match is rickheg, who calls out an aggressive looking Luxio, and a fierce Rhydon, who crashes out of his Pokéball. His challenger? The one and only Deck Knight, founder of CAP ASB, who summons a Gligar and Golett, who has a rather badass name, in my "expert" opinion. Before the match can begin, Sphinx the Luxio lets out a powerful war cry to Intimidate his opponent. VoltronForce the Golett is visibly shaken, but Knight the Gligar is unimpressed. Nothing can dull the sharpness of his claws! There is nothing he cannot cut, he is the sword who smites evil! Or something like that. Point is, Hyper Cutter blocks it.

The match begins proper now, and Knight moves first (evidently Deck Knight plays white in chess), creating a whirling sandstorm from the dust inside this cave to engulf Dino the Rhydon. It barely scratches him, but the residual damage it provides may prove crucial... Next up, a double Ice Fang assault from Sphinx and Dino, that leaves the Gligar positively reeling. Quadruple weakness'll do that to ya. VoltronForce says NO to this sort of thing, and makes the earth shake in fear, rocking Dino and Sphinx considerably. This also causes some electric crystals to fall from the ceiling. They do no damage to the three Ground types, but slight injure Sphinx.

Knight follows suit on his compatriot's manoeuvre, and shakes the earth (like a boss) but as his partner isn't immune to the attack, he takes minor damage. More crystals fall, but again, only Sphinx is injured by the debris. Team rickheg retaliates with a second double Ice Fang. Sphinx's hits home perfectly, but Dino misses by a hair (roll was 954/1000, ouch...), allowing Knight to dodge the more damaging attack. How fortunate! Dino pays for his miss, as VoltronForce fights fire with fire. Or rather, ice with ice, blasting the rock beast with a frigid ray.

... I can't make the third action interesting. It's basically a carbon copy of the first, but with one important difference - Knight aims his Sand Tomb at Sphinx, but he manages to evade the whirling winds. Bleh.

Calcs:
Round One:
Gligar used Sand Tomb (6 damage Rhydon, 3 energy, Rhydon trapped)
Luxio used Ice Fang (9 damage Gligar, 5 energy) - this number seems extremely low for a x4 weakness, are we 100% on it?
Rhydon used Ice Fang (16 damage Gligar, 5 energy)
Golett used Earthquake (0 damage Gligar, 19 damage Luxio, 10 damage Rhydon, 6 energy)
Crystals fall! (0 damage Gligar, Rhydon, Golett, 5 damage Luxio)
Rhydon hurt by Sand Tomb (2)

Round Two:
Gligar used Earthquake (9 damage Golett, 21 damage Luxio, 11 damage Rhydon, 6 energy)
Crystals fall! (0 damage Gligar, Rhydon, Golett, 5 damage Luxio)
Luxio used Ice Fang (9 damage Gligar, 9 energy)
Rhydon used Ice Fang (Miss, 9 energy)
Golett used Ice Beam (15 damage Rhydon, 7 energy)
Rhydon hurt by Sand Tomb (2)

Round Three:
Gligar used Sand Tomb (Miss, 3 energy)
Luxio used Ice Fang (9 damage Gligar, 13 energy)
Rhydon used Ice Fang (16 damage Gligar, 13 energy)
Golett used Earthquake (0 damage Gligar, 19 damage Luxio, 10 damage Rhydon, 6 energy)
Crystals fall! (0 damage Gligar, Rhydon, Golett, 5 damage Luxio)

I remember why I hate reffing doubles. IT TAKES FOREVER. Thank God it's only 2v2. I don't know how people cope with 6v6... Bah, go rickheg.
 
Yeesh, 9 Damage from Luxio's Ice Fang... Let's try a different tactic.

Sphinx, try Hidden Power on Gligar, thrice.
If Gligar faints, redirect to Golett.


Dino, just keep on doing what you're doing. Ice Fang Gligar while you can.
If Gligar faints, replace remaining actions with Crunch Golett.

Yeah, we're boned.
 
Alright Knight, VoltronForce, time to wrap things up here.

Knight: Preserve yourself with Dig. Your first target with be Luxio, and then close in on Dino for the remainder.

Voltronforce: Finish Luxio off with Shadow Punch, then Focus Punch Dino twice.

Knight: Dig (Sphinx) ~ Dig (Dino) ~ Dig (Dino)

VoltronForce: Shadow Punch (Sphinx) ~ Focus Punch (Dino) ~ Focus Punch (Dino)


btw. Son_of_Shadoo, you forget to charge my Pokemon with Energy the last round.
 
So I did, my mistake Deck. I'll fix that now and ref this in the morning. No way I'm doing a doubles at 11.35 at night, I'm waaaay too likely to mess up.

Round of spam, woo! Spam is boring but easy. Knight ducks underground, wanting to avoid another frigid assault from team Rickheg, and the Hidden Power and Ice Fang sail straight over the hole he created. The unnoticed VoltronForce (still love that name...) aims a shadowy punch at Sphinx in the meanwhile that leaves him reeling, and vulnerable to Knight's Dig attack from below! He bursts out of the earth, sending Sphinx high into the air, knocking him out for good! The weakened Dino's left to stand alone versus the deadly duo, but at least he's free from Sand Tomb now. But his fifth consecutive Ice Fang sails over another hole created by Knight, who promptly bursts out again, knocking the colossus off his feet. Meanwhile, VoltronForce has taken advantage of the shadows to focus his energy into a bone-shattering FALCON Focus Punch! WHAM! And unfortunately for rickheg, the final action is a carbon copy of this, but the final Focus Punch sends Dino crashing into the cave wall. He's out for the count.

GAME!

Deck Knight wins!

I gain 4 RC.

Deck Knight and rickheg gain 2 TC.

VoltronForce and Knight gain 1 EC, 2 MC, 1 DC, 1 KO.

Sphinx and Dino gain 1 EC, 2 MC, 1 DC.
 
Knight should get the KOC for the KO on Luxio, as Dig is what KO'd Luxio, even though Golett is slower. Otherwise, awesome.

gg rickheg.
