danmantincan vs Deck_Knight! Round 5

NUMBER OF POKEMON: 3v3
BATTLE TYPE: Singles
RECOVERIES: Two Recovers per Pokemon | Five Chills per Pokemon
SWITCH: Switch=KO
ITEMS: Items OFF
ABILITIES: All Abilities

The ASB Tournament Arena

Surrounded by thousands of screaming Pokemon fans, the ASB Arena can be best described as a standard Pokemon battling arena. In the center of the arena lies a dirt-based floor outlined to show two separate sides (with a white Pokeball center). Surrounding the dirt is a moat filled with water. The moat is about fifteen feet wide and creates a perimeter around the dirt arena. The arena itself is eighty feet wide, one hundred feet long. All moves, weathers, and abilities are legal for the match, since it's an outdoor arena with a large water source and packed dirt. Pokemon must stay in the arena (or the dimensions of the arena in the case of Flying Pokemon, who cannot leave the arena and cannot fly higher than sixty feet). This prevents Pokemon from injuring the crowd watching the tournament. There are no outside interruptions by fans, Pokemon, or other elements not associated with the current battle.

Okay so I have no idea what any of the colors mean so you'll just have to say what moves you can't use for your Pokemon when you post. Seriously, just allow them all instead of just confusing us. <_<

Team danmantincan:







Team Deck Knight:






The RNG has decided that Deck_Knight will order first!

Good Luck Trainers!

"Going first again? What a buzzkill."

Alright Chew Toshio, time to get set up. Begin by setting up Toxic Spikes, then use Poison Jab, and finish with Twineedle.

If Pyroak uses Will-o-Wisp, evade it with Evasive Agility and push attacks back.

Toxic Spikes ~ Poison Jab ~ Twineedle
IF Pyroak uses Will-O-Wisp, Evasive Agility to avoid

Red moves are the Tournament only moves and blue is for outside the Tournament.

Ok, so Deck wants to set up TSpikes, and unfortunately we can't seem so stop him. But we can make him suffer for it!
Start by setting up with a Sunny Day, then smash Chew with a Flare Blitz and finish up with a Blaze Kick.

Round 1: bugCRUSH

Yay! We're starting one of the final matches! Let's go already!

Chew Toshio, being the swift bug he is, quickly unleashes layers of Toxic Spikes that surround danmantincan's area. Any switch = DOOM! Boyd just laughs at the little bee's attempt of being useful and calls upon a Sunny Day. Ding-a-ling! It's like the sun just came out!

Now faster thanks to Chlorophyll, Boyd decides to smash Chew Toshio with a solid Flare Blitz attack! OUCH! IT BURNS LIKE HELL! Chew Toshio seems able to endure the pain though and retaliate back with a Poison Jab! Boyd steps back and itches in pain... wait, what pain, exactly?

Boyd laughs out loud like the mighty Warrior he is and readies his Blaze Kick. SMACK! Chew Toshio is sent flying into the air like a reverse meteor, but his wings immediately put him right back in track. He quickly flies over to Boyd and launches a series of Twineedles that lightly poke the wood monster for laughable damage. Oh poor Beedrill!

Ok, so unfortunately we can't seem to stop Toxic Spikes from getting up. But we can stop him from doing much else.

Substitute (20 HP)~Rock Slide~Blaze Kick

If Deck used Evasive Agility A3, use Rock Slide.

"I think I can get a few hits in yet."

Alright Chew, time to get crackin'.

Begin by busting Pyroak's Substitute up with a blistering combination: Poison Jab + Fury Attack! Not only will it break through Boyd's Sub, we'll get another shot at poisoning it. After the cooldown, finish with an evasive Agility to draw the second Rock Slide.

IF Boyd's Rock Slide Action 2 misses, use Endeavor your third action.

Poison Jab + Fury Attack ~ combo cool down ~ Evasive Agility.
IF Boyd's Rock Slide misses A2, use Endeavor A3.

Round 2: SQUISHYSMASH

Strangely, Boyd moves in first and sets up a nice, sturdy 20 HP Substitute to do his bidding. This pathetic excuse of a defense is quickly eliminated by Chew Toshio's tornado-like Poison Jab + Fury Attack combo, which hits three times! The attack even manages to pierce through and deal light damage to the wooden fire monster! And... it manages to poison.

Boyd now moves onto the offense and summons a Rock Slide from the arena's rocks to smash the little Chew Toshio. The force of the rocks cause Chew Toshio to rage a bit, though he just sits there and relaxes his mind and body for the incoming action.

After a couple of minutes, Chew Toshio finally makes his way out of the rock trap... only to meet another Rock Slide from Boyd's force. But wait! Chew Toshio uses his ninja skills to gracefully dodge the landslide with his quick Agility. Chew Toshio does have the air to dodge in after all!

Poor bug.

Sorry to bug (hehe) you, but the Agility description says it "will evade any single target attack", but wouldn't Rock Slide be considered a multi target attack since it can hit up to 3 opponents?

Also, derp for thinking Beedrill was Bug/Flying when doing my Calc for Rock Slide >.<

Hehe, I would imagine that Chew Toshio would be evasively dodging in the air. Rock Slide is sliding in a slanted position and thus wouldn't hit Chew Toshio. That's me anyway.

I mean, Rock Slide coming from the sky makes no sense lol. Hmm, and if it were to be somehow "raised" from the ground then slide downward onto its target, well, isn't that plenty of time to dodge.

Click to expand...

danmantincan has it right in that Evasive Agility doesn't inherently dodge somethiing like Rock Slide because Rock Slide effectively hits the whole field. Granted there would be gaps in it, but the concept is the same.

Also, since Poison Jab + Fury Attack can break the Sub, it should check for Poison chance. You amalgamate the hits into the Base Attack Power but you'd still treat it like an attack that struck after breaking the sub with a poison chance, which I think Twineedle does in-game.

If you want to run calcs or alter the reffing based on this, that's fine. If you're sticking with your judgment, just say so and I'll get on with my attacks.

I'll run the poison chance, but I still disagree with the Rock Slide hitting. I just don't see it happening...

edit: poison succeeded. Go ahead and post actions.

"Energy is a useless human construct. I understand only the hive mind."

Alright Chew Toshio, you've done amazingly well so far, so lets get to the end of this, lets finish up with swiftness.

Use that Evasive Agility again, but this time we're going to use the speed to go on offense, and combine it with Endeavor to bring our foe down to size! We won't dodge anything because of the impact, but it'll be an excellent parting gift for our foe. It'll be a lot of hard work, but we've got to keep our foe on their toes! Make your brethren Beedrill proud! Should you be so fortunate to survive to the third action, use another Poison Jab.

If Boyd uses Protect on A1 to avoid your combination. Use a traditional Agility (+2 Spe), and then strike it with Poison Jab, followed by Twineedle.

Evasive Agility (+1Pri) + Endeavor ~ cool down ~ Poison Jab
IF Boyd uses Protect A1, Agility (+2Spe) ~ Poison Jab ~ Twineedle

Let's start with an Aromatherapy to get rid of that Poison. Then we'll Chill, and finish up with a Flare Blitz, because I'm incredibly scared of Blaze Kick missing.

Round 3: burned out

One glance at Chew Toshio's HP and Boyd's damage tells you that he's going to faint from a single hit! As such, Chew Toshio takes notice and immediately goes into an evasive Agility. However, this is a completely different evasive Agility - it's an offensive type! Chew Toshio immediately pops up in front of Boyd's face and delivers a devastating Endeavor attack with all his might... which isn't a lot to tell the truth. Boyd is more concerned about the poison from Chew Toshio's nasty needles, and so he calls in an Aromatherapy to clean his dirty body and eradicate the toxins within his body! Who cares about what Beedrills do to you anyway.

After preping himself, Boyd chills for a bit to regain some energy back as Chew Toshio sits in peace. Well, I think he's about to get his peace soon!

Boyd flares up into attack position and rushes at the useless Chew Toshio. It's a Flare Blitz coming! One hit from the behemoth and Chew Toshio incinerates into his night-long faint!

One fried bug down!

Okay, I'm actually not very sure, but I think Deck Knight sends out the second mon in his list. I'll go do that.

GO WILL POWERS!



danmantincan
Deck Knight

You can still select your second mon. There's nothing in the tournament rules that stated you had to use your second listed Pokemon second, only that you must use the same lead for both battles. The finals are the only battles that have been 3v3 thus far, so it was fairly natural to send out the second mon.

I would have sent out Will Powers anyway, but just for reference.

Ok, fortunately we have such a speed advantage that we should be able to get an easy burn on Will.

Boyd, start off with a Will-o-Wisp, then go on the offensive with a Flamethrower followed by a Heat Wave.
If Will uses Stone Edge, hit him hard with a Counter and push your actions back (Only once).

Alright Will Powers, time to set up and prepare for victory.

Set up Stealth Rock to further impede our opponents' field, then use Bide to soak up some damage. We'll release unholy hell next turn.

Round 4: fire and stuff

Hello! Hello!

Deck Knight returns his fallen bug and sends out a much more formidable opponent - Will Powers the Brave Steelix! Well, he's definitely brave enough to enter the tournament with a Fire-type in there! Who'd do that?

Boyd glares viciously at the newcomer and greets him with an opening Will-O-Wisp. HOWEVER, his aim was apparently way off and it hits the walls of the stadium instead! The attack missed! Ahhh! The crowd roars and cheers! Do you feel it? It's the sound of RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE! Will Powers takes this free action to spit out some Stealth Rock that split among themselves and conceal themselves under the ground, in which the foe will meet their demise.

Will Powers now settles in at his place and Bides for the burns to come. This doesn't fade Boyd away as he launches a blazing Flamethrower that incinerates Will Power's solid hide. As Will Powers endures all the fiery pain, the sound of a mad cheerleader entering the arena can be heard. "GO WILL POWERS! YOU CAN DO IT!" somehow echoes throughout the stadium... only to be met by "DECK KNIGHT SUCKS!", in kiddish language. This fuels Boyd's inferno rage and enables him to blaze the arena with a Heat Wave! The stream of fires collide onto Will Power's steel skin and explode into a thousand phoenixes... and then evaporate into nothingness. What's left? It's Will Powers! And he's still keeping his bide steady!

The next action will be a devastating blow to Boyd. But that doesn't mean he can't save himself!

Oh, the sun seems to have ran its course! At least the moon isn't coming - that'd be bad.

Excellent work Will Powers, you've proven not even Boyd can break your namesake.

Lets finish this, we have our foe pinned, and we even got lucky!

Bide (release) ~ Chill ~ Sandstorm

Maybe you can protect yourself while chilling.....

Chill+Protect (Combo)~Cool Down~Chill

So that changed everything. Sorry, that was nothing that my knowledge knew. Reposted and cleared posts out.

Round 5: soo desperate

You heard it. Chill + Protect combo. DOES IT WORK OR NOT?

First, let's see the statistics of this so-called Bide.

(23+23) x 1.75 = 80.5 ~ 81
-47 energy
+12 energy to 35.
protect used 34 energy. 34 - 12 = 22. (22) x 1.5 = 33

Combos are dumb. It works but doesn't work.

Anyway, Boyd immediately puts up a defensive Protect around himself and calms his nerves with a simple chill. Will Powers angrily stares down at Boyd and unleashes his terrifying Bide, which is unfortunately all absorbed by the simple barrier. This exhausts a huge amount of energy from both Will Powers and Boyd. This means Boyd faints.

Ugg...these finals aren't going well for me...

Nolan, you're up!

We'll start by Enabling Sheer Force. Then let's go all out, nailing Will with a Fire Blast, followed by a Fire Punch and finishing with a second Fire Blast. If Will uses Explosion, set up a 15 HP Substitute. If Will uses Taunt, Taunt him first and use Fire Blast for the rest of your actions (with the exception of the last substitution).

Well Will, I'd hate to be accused of being suicidal, but if it works, it works. If our opponent wants to try the direct approach, lets toss it right back at him.

Time for another Bide.

Round 6: Moar Fire

danmantincan returns his fallen wooden warrior and releases a radiant ape - Nolan - who's ready to incinerate this metal snake! However, he tramples across some mean Stealth Rock and is poisoned by the Toxic Spikes!

Will Powers isn't quite done yet, sadly for Nolan. Again, he curls up into a defensive Bide. Totally unaware of what he's doing, Nolan goes in and launches a blazing Fire Blast, which hits with incredible force. Next, he leaps onto Will Powers's face and delivers a crushing Fire Punch, though the snake's massive armor repels off much of the damage. At last, Will Powers rages and releases his massive Bide, crushing the little ape with overflowing energy. All that damage comes at a cost though - Will Powers's life. There, he roars in agony and slams onto the ground, fainted. He definitely left his mark.

Alright AquaVelva, time to wrap things up.


Finish your foe off with Earthquake. Then use Protect in case Nolan survives. Finish up with a Chill.

(I'm moving first so Nolan shouldn't be able to change formes iirc. Better news for me just the same.)

If Nolan begins with Yawn, focus your energy into a Protect + Earthquake combination to block it and deliver a felling blow from behind the shield.
