Dear God, so much hax. This is what people were complaining about when PO first came out. Yes, I know we aren't playing on PO, that's besides the point. Steampowered, you're up next.

[Steampowered]

Cello: Leaf Storm (Syclar) - Toxic (Pineco) - Leaf Storm (Pineco)

Sub: if Syclar isn't dead after A1, switch actions on A2 to Giga Drain and push actions down

Storm: Flamethrower (Syclar) - Iron Tail (Syclar) - Flamethrower (Syclar)

Sub: When Syclar dies redirect all actions to Pineco and switch A2 to Dragon Rush

[IceBug]

Caltrops - Bug Bite (Storm) - Bug Bite (Storm) - Bug Bite (Storm)

If Storm dies, switch all targets to Cello.

Phendrana - Ice Shard (Storm) - Ice Shard (Storm) - Ice Shard (Storm)

If through some unholy means Storm dies before Phendrana, switch target to Cello.

IceBug, you're up!

[IceBug]

Chill - Bug Bite - Bug Bite

Protect any Swaggers, only once in a row, if they occur A2 or A3.

And to answer your question, rickheg, I get that a lot from ASB people, truth is I kinda ended up picking random guys who no one was using for my starters, and just picked up Syclar now because I need more gym mons.

Also, Steampowered, you have Swagger in Egg and TM right now, they'll give you a refund at Prize Claim if you let them know which one you bought.

[Steampowered]

before I forget, enable Contrarian

let's go, he's protecting swaggers only if they occur on A2 or A3 so let's Swagger on A1, follow up with a Double Team (2 clones) and finish with Leaf Storm

[Steampowered]

keep up contrarian

finish him, Leaf Storm-Giga Drain-Leaf Storm

[IceBug]

I believe I'm at 22 HP, I took 13 damage last round, I think you copied that into my HP bar...

Anyway...time to go out with a bang!

Bug Bite - Selfdestruct - lol 3rd action gg

I think you missed hurting yourself in confusion instead of chilling, IceBug. That was an extra 9 Damage, dropping you to 13.
