Team rewindman:

Clare the Misdreavus

---

Misdreavus (Clare) F
Nature: Timid (+15% Speed, +22% Accuracy, -1 Atk)
Type: Ghost
Ghost: Ghost STAB; brief intangibility that nullifies Normal and Fighting-type attacks. Can move through walls for a brief period of time but must remain in motion. Superior senses in low light and inside dark buildings. Have no vision reduction in hazes.

Abilities:
Levitate: (Trait) This Pokemon naturally floats above the earth when released or easily takes flight, evading Ground moves like Bulldoze, Dig, Earthquake, and Magnitude. Other Ground moves can still hit. Levitate Pokemon will retain the Levitate trait when they use Skill Swap on an enemy, and will steal the opponent's ability (the user can specify if they want a foe or ally to gain Levitate from a Skill Swap.) If a Pokemon with Levitate uses Role Play, they will copy the opponent's abilities and retain Levitate.

Mind Reader the Riolu

---

Riolu [Mind Reader] (Male)
Nature: Lonely (+1 Attack, -1 Defense)

Type: Fighting
Fighting STAB; ignore weight restrictions on Circle Throw, Seismic Toss, Sky Drop, Storm Throw, Submission, and Vital Throw. Superior reaction time in close quarters.

Abilities:
Steadfast (Innate): If this Pokemon is flinched, it becomes aware of the speed difference and increases speed by one (1) stage to make up the difference. This speed boost is maintained at the end of each round.

Inner Focus (Innate): When an opponent attempts to flinch this Pokemon, it stands firm and continues its attack. If it has another ability that would be activated by flinching, that ability activates.

Prankster (DW Locked): The Pokemon is always prepared for engaging in sneaky tactics and trickery, giving its non-damaging attacks an increase in priority level.

They say it is a fool who does not take account of Taunt in his opponent's movepool. I dunno who exactly, but they do. Clare starts by cracking a few "Yo mama" jokes. Crass, but effective, as Mind Reader is angry enough not to be able to pull off his non-offensive tricks. This could be troublesome for smash... Foresight? As it turns out, Mind Reader has none. Nor can he throw up a defensive barrier against the azure flames Clare conjures to burn his skin, and weaken his offensive prowess. As she starts thinking up a few further nasty tricks to boost her special attack, Mind Reader crashes straight through her from above. The Hi-Jump Kick has backfired HORRIBLY on smash, Mind Reader takes some significant damage...
