Dark: Dark STAB; Immunity to all telepathic and telekinetic attacks, better performance in all darkened and especially twilight conditions. Can use any Dark-type attack regardless of Attraction.
Abilities:
Shed Skin: (Innate) This Pokemon regularly sheds its skin and any impurities contained in its body. If afflicted with a status condition, this Pokemon has a 33% chance of removing all status conditions at the end of a round.
Moxie: (Innate) This Pokemon gets psyched after it earns a KO on an opposing Pokemon, increasing its attack by one (1) stage. This boost is maintained at the end of each round.
Intimidate (DW): (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 their 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. (Not yet Active)

Gastly(*) (F)

Nature: Modest (+1 SpA, -1 Atk)
Type: Ghost/Poison
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.
Poison: Poison STAB; immunity to Poison/Toxic, see and breath through smog/smokescreens/haze uninhibited. Able to use Wrap and Bind without losing focus. Superior senses in urban settings.

Abilities:
Levitate: (Innate) This Pokemon naturally floats above the earth when released or easily takes flight, evading the Ground moves Bulldoze, Earthquake, Fissure, and Magnitude. Earth Power will have three (3) less Base Attack Power. Dig and Dive can strike a Levitating Pokemon if their user is over Size Class 4, has Levitate, is 3.5m or larger, or is a Flying-type. Otherwise Dig and Dive will miss. 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.

Arcanite, choose your ability, then devoninja orders.

[Arcanite]

Hmmmmm.... shed skin or moxie..... hmmmmm... I think I'll go for shed skin. Just a hunch.

Begin with a taunt to stop any shenanigans, then payback twice!

[Son_of_Shadoo]

Arcanite, as the challenger, devoninja orders first.

[devoninja]

Well, I'm probably not going to be able to last very long in this fight but I'll give it my best shot.

Thunderbolt -> Clear Smog -> Thunderbolt

If he uses Payback and you aren't taunted, replace your next action with disable payback.

[Arcanite]

Keeping above orders

[Arcanite]

He can't do anything but attack, so go for 3 paybacks! If he uses a combo, on action 1 or 2, replace the payback on that action with a double payback combo.

[devoninja]

Well things aren't looking so good, but we've still got a trick up our sleeve. Alright Gastly use spite to cause an energy ko! What's that?! You only want to attack? Well fine then. Be that way.

I'm doing flavour! (le gasp) Gastly fires an Energy Ball at Zidane, but soups it up with a bolt of lightning, causing significant damage, but Zidane still is able to hit with a boosted Payback, by combining two of them into one attack! Both Pokémon take time to cool down from their onslaught, then resort to just whamming each other as hard as they can with Thunderbolt and Payback. When the dust settles, only Zidane is left standing.

GAME!
