Don't look down, folks, today's battle seems to be on a sky-high platform!
If you suffer from vertigo, cheer up! At least it's not rainin-
-THUNDER ROLL-
Ah, crap.

Before we get entirely soaked, let's take a moment to reflect on the rules.

The Rules

Also, I'll turn on the floodlights so we can see the arena properly...

The Thunderstorm Arena

Right, let's meet our two competitors!
In one corner, the determined newcomer, TALKINGLION!
Team:

Sparkplug the Elekid

Petals the Chikorita

Sumo the Makuhita

In the other corner, SON_OF_SHADOO looks ready for battle!
Team:

Drain the Shellos

Quick side note: Shellos is a pure water-type, not water/ground.
I changed it here, but you should probably change it on your profile and such.

Starman the Elgyem

Tough Nut the Ferroseed

Son_Of_Shadoo picked the arena, so I think he sends out first.
SoS, you're up!

Son_of_Shadoo · Oct 5th, 2011, 3:00:38 PM

Odd, I could swear it was Water/Ground. Thanks EQ.

Tough Nut, you're up first. You're the best match here I think.

TalkingLion · Oct 5th, 2011, 3:23:49 PM

All right Sumo, show that Tough Nut that you're tougher. Start out with a Sand Attack so that he won't be able to see properly. Then, toughen yourself up with a Bulk Up. Finally, hit it hard with a Cross Chop!

Son_of_Shadoo · Oct 5th, 2011, 3:25:38 PM

I need a Grass STAB.

Protect >>> Leech Seed >>> Protect

Round One Start!

As the round starts, both competitors release their Pokémon. Tough Nut spins nervously, worried about his type disadvantage, while Sumo cracks his knuckles ominously.
Neither Pokémon seems particularly thrilled about being disarmingly high in the air, but both seem determined to battle!

Sumo starts off the match by attempting to Attack Tough Nut with Sand, but the rain-washed metal platform is completely free of grit! That's right, folks, the move fails! Despite this, Tough Nut takes no chances and Protects himself, shielding his spiky body from nonexistent attacks!

Sumo, looking worriedly at the worsening thunderstorm, flexes his muscles, Bulking himself Up for the trials ahead. Tough Nut takes the opportunity to sprout several Seeds that Leech Sumo's life force! The Makuhita struggles to free himself, but cannot escape the entangling vines!

Tough Nut, sensing danger, Protects himself again! With a roar of exasperation, Sumo rushes across the platform, and attempts to hit the shielded Ferroseed, but the attack misses in his anger!

As the round ends, a lightning bolt strikes the far end of the platform, making both battlers recoil instinctively. That was a close call, folks, but neither Pokémon seems injured. Let the fight continue!

I would like to switch out to Elgyem.

TL, would you like to counterswitch, or stick it out?

TalkingLion · Oct 7th, 2011, 3:37:11 PM

I'll stick it out for now. Sumo, attack Elgyem with Faint Attack three times, and try to do as much damage as you can.

Round Two Start!

As the thunderstorm worsens, Sumo eyes his new foe suspiciously. The Elgyem's eyes flash, and it seems confident in his power.

With a menacing little laugh, Starman analyzes Sumo, and Plots all the Nasty ways he could abuse his type-advantage. Sumo, enraged, somersaults into a powerful Faint Attack, sending Starman skidding across the field!

Starman, clearly eager to avoid another blow, quickly Disables Sumo's Faint Attack! The Makuhita, oblivious to Starman's tricks, rushes forward and is unable to use Faint Attack! The poor fighting-type has lost his only super-effective move!

Remembering his nasty plot, Starman picks up the struggling Makuhita, and throws him into the ground with his Psychic powers. Sumo, still trying to free himself from Leech Seed, tries to use Faint Attack, but the move fails again!

As the round closes, both battlers spin away from the cloud as lightning strikes. The bolt of electricity electrifies the center of the arena, but Starman's psychic-type senses and Sumo's fighting-type reflexes keep both battlers from harm.

As the rain continues to fall, Sumo seems exhausted, but determined to go on. Across form him, Starman contemplates his next move in silence.

Tortferngatr, observant as ever, has pointed out that the Data Audit Thread has a typo.
Rank 3 is any base stat between 61-95.
Elgyem has 85 base special attack.
Starman should have Rank 3 Special Attack, not Rank 2 Special Attack.

If there are any mistakes, feel free to tell me.
Shadoo, you're up!

Son_of_Shadoo · Oct 11th, 2011, 4:40:01 AM

Thanks, that's fixed now.

Wonderful job as ever Starman. Time to clean house.

Psybeam >>> Psychic >>> Psychic
If he uses Fake Out, push actions down.

TalkingLion · Oct 11th, 2011, 3:47:13 PM

This doesn't look good for me... Sumo, Fake Out Starman to make it flinch. Then use Rock Slide. And finally, get your Revenge on it for using Psychic attacks on you.

Round Three Start!

Both battlers are now completely soaked, but seem determined to go on. As thunder rolls, the Pokémon eye one another from across the platform, awaiting their orders...

Starman begins to focus on generating his next attack, but is interrupted as Sumo skids forward with a resounding Fake Out! Starman flinches from the shock, but the attack doesn't seem to have done very much damage!

Eyes flashing, Starman calls upon his Psychic senses and launches a Psybeam at the exhausted Makuhita! Sumo winces from the attack, but still manages to struggle to his feet! He looks bewildered, folks, and seems to be trying to use Rock Slide! Unfortunately, the airborne platform remains just as devoid of rocks as ever, and the move fails!

Pressing his advantage, Starman picks up Sumo with his Psychic senses, and slams the Makuhita into the ground repeatedly! Dazed, Sumo retaliates with a powerful Revenge! However, Starman's Psychic typing allows it to absorb most of the blow!

As the round ends, lightning again fails to appear. Sumo seems exhausted, struggling to see through the pouring rain. Starman, smug as a Snivy, meditates and prepares himself for the next round.

If Light Screen is used, replace the current action with Nasty Plot ONCE and move actions down.

Round Five Start!

With one foe down, Starman turns to face his next foe, a determined Elekid named Sparkplug!
Sparkplug seems to be enjoying the thunderstorm, bobbing his head in time with each thunder roll.

Suddenly, Sparkplug leaps up, drawing energy from the storm clouds, and launches a powerful Thunder Wave at the surprised Elgyem! Starman has become paralyzed! Starman drops to the ground, trying to shake off the paralyzing energy, and manages to lock eyes with Sparkplug! The Elekid howls in anger, but is also paralyzed! That's right, folks, Synchronize has activated! Leaping upright again, Starman fires off a powerful Psychic attack, slamming Sparkplug against the railing!

Sparkplug, crouching by the edge of the field, tries to calm himself with a Meditate, but cannot overcome his paralysis! Sensing an opportunity, Starman again uses Psychic forces to send the Elekid skidding!

Sparkplug, struggling to his feet, charges forward and slams the Elgyem with a powerful Punch of Thunder! The blow is too much for Starman, who is fully paralyzed!

As the round ends, both Pokémon turn to face the storm. Starman, sensing danger, tries to dive out of the way, but it's too late! A crackling bolt of lightning spears the Elgyem where he stands!

If you suffer from vertigo, cheer up! At least it's not rainin- -THUNDER ROLL- Ah, crap. Before we get entirely soaked, let's take a moment to reflect on the rules. The Rules 3v3 Singles 3 Day DQ NFE mons only Unlimited recoveries/chills Switch = OK Items = Off. All abilities. Also, I'll turn on the floodlights so we can see the arena properly... The Thunderstorm Arena Arena: The Thunderstorm (potential Gym) Field Type: Electric Complexity: Moderate Format: All Restrictions: All Weather moves will fail, permanent rain, no seismic activity, no Digging, but Diving allowed, no plant-life. Description: High above the land, there is an aerial platform, held in midair by jets. This platform is surrounded by a black thundercloud, and if it weren't for the floodlights, it would be in pitch black. This is SoS' domain. The platform is 50 feet by 50 feet in area, with each trainer at one end. It is nothing more than a metal platform, meaning moves that require a natural environment like Grass Knot will fail. The exception to this is moves that require a water source - as the cloud itself is made of water, it can be used for Surf, etc. Pokémon can even dive into it, as nonsensical as that sounds. At the end of each round, there's a 30% chance of a lightning strike, essentially a STAB Thunderbolt from rank 3 SpA. There's an even chance of it hitting each Pokémon, but it can only hit ONE target. (ie there's a 50% chance for each if there's 2, 25% if it's 4, etc.) Summary: Anything mentioned in the Restrictions, plus potential lightning strike at the end of each round. Right, let's meet our two competitors! In one corner, the determined newcomer, TALKINGLION!

Superior senses in power plant environments. Abilities: Static (Innate): This Pokemon’s body is surrounded by an electric field that has a 30% chance of paralyzing opponents that use contact moves on this Pokemon. Vital Spirit(DW) (Can be enabled): This Pokemon has a high vitality and alertness making it immune to sleep induced by other Pokemon. Its normal state of sleeplessness makes it take 1 less damage/action from Ghost Curse. If it is put to sleep by a Pokemon with Mold Breaker it will wake up the next action.

Superior reaction time in close quarters. Abilities: Thick Fat (Innate): This Pokemon has a great deal of extra fat or muscle that increases its resistance to extreme heat or extreme cold, reducing the type effectiveness of Fire and Ice-typed attacks to the next level of resistance (2x weak becomes neutral, neutral becomes resistance, etc.) Guts (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. Sheer Force(DW) (Can be enabled): This Pokemon can energize all its attacks with secondary effect chances less than 100%. When Enabled, the Base Attack Power of every move with an effect chance less than 100% increases by two (2), but they will never have a secondary effect.

Abilities: Sticky Hold: (Innate) This Pokemon’s body is covered in a sticky substance that prevents item theft or swapping. Storm Drain: (Innate) This Pokemon lures all water attacks to itself, altering their course away from partner Pokemon. It absorbs the water and increases its Special Attack by one (1) stage. This boost is maintained at the end of each round. Sand Strength (DW, LOCKED): (Innate) This Pokemon thrives in Sandstorm conditions, using the power of the swirling sand to augment its Rock, Ground, and Steel-typed attacks. Each of this Pokemon's Rock, Ground, and Steel-typed attacks will have two (2) added to their Base Attack Power. Pokemon with this ability are immune to Sandstorm damage.

Starman the Elgyem Elgyem "Starman" (M) Nature: Bold (+1 Def, -1 Atk) Type: Psychic Psychic: Psychic STAB; less susceptible to blinding, more susceptible to sound-based assaults as far as locking on with Psychic attacks, can lift and throw opponents with Psychic regardless of Special Attack Rank. Psychic-type attacks are not godlike and cannot be used as a catchall for Disabling, Binding, and redirecting opposing attacks. Abilities: Telepathy: (Innate) This Pokemon has a mental link with its allies in multiple allies, allowing it to avoid taking damage from attacks that affect the whole field like Earthquake and Surf. Synchonize: (Innate) Pokemon with this ability mentally link their condition to an opposing Pokemon and pass on any status inflicted on them to their foe. Due to their body structure, Poison types cannot be poisoned and Fire types cannot be burned in this manner. Analytic: (Innate, DW) If this Pokemon attacks after its target during an action, its attacks have two (2) more Base Attack Power.

As the thunderstorm worsens, Sumo eyes his new foe suspiciously. The Elgyem's eyes flash, and it seems confident in his power. With a menacing little laugh, Starman analyzes Sumo, and Plots all the Nasty ways he could abuse his type-advantage. Sumo, enraged, somersaults into a powerful Faint Attack, sending Starman skidding across the field! Starman, clearly eager to avoid another blow, quickly Disables Sumo's Faint Attack! The Makuhita, oblivious to Starman's tricks, rushes forward and is unable to use Faint Attack! The poor fighting-type has lost his only super-effective move! Remembering his nasty plot, Starman picks up the struggling Makuhita, and throws him into the ground with his Psychic powers. Sumo, still trying to free himself from Leech Seed, tries to use Faint Attack, but the move fails again! As the round closes, both battlers spin away from the cloud as lightning strikes. The bolt of electricity electrifies the center of the arena, but Starman's psychic-type senses and Sumo's fighting-type reflexes keep both battlers from harm. As the rain continues to fall, Sumo seems exhausted, but determined to go on. Across form him, Starman contemplates his next move in silence. Calculations Action One: Starman used Nasty Plot! Elgyem's Special Attack rose two stages! -7 energy Sumo used Faint Attack! RNG roll to crit: (1=crit) 13 NO (6)1.5+1.75=10.5=11 11 Damage* -4 energy Sumo is hurt by Leech Seed! -3 HP Starman is healed by Leech Seed! +3HP Action Two: Starman used Disable! Sumo's Faint Attack was disabled! -7 energy Sumo used Faint Attack! But it failed! (Disable) -8 energy Sumo is hurt by Leech Seed! -3 HP Starman is healed by Leech Seed! +3HP Action Three: Starman used Psychic! RNG roll to crit: (1=crit) 5 NO (10+3+1.5)1.5+3.5=25.25 25 Damage* -5 energy (STAB) Sumo used Faint Attack! But it failed! (Disable) -12 energy Sumo is hurt by Leech Seed! -3 HP Starman is healed by Leech Seed! +3HP RNG roll for lightning: (1-300=hit) 840 NO Post-round: Makuhita (M) Sumo Nature: Adamant Health: 60 Energy: 60 Boosts: None Other: Leech Seed (1 action), Faint Attack Disabled (4 actions) Elgyem (M) Starman Nature: Bold Health: 88 Energy: 81 Boosts: +1 Special Attack (1 Round) Other: None Benched Ferroseed (M) Tough Nut Nature: Brave Health: 90 Energy: 77 Boosts: None Other: -10% evasion (Nature) Tortferngatr, observant as ever, has pointed out that the Data Audit Thread has a typo. Rank 3 is any base stat between 61-95. Elgyem has 85 base special attack. Starman should have Rank 3 Special Attack, not Rank 2 Special Attack. If there are any mistakes, feel free to tell me. Shadoo, you're up! __________________ My CAP ASB team . My Reffing Profile . My Scramble Compendium .

Pre-round Benched Ferroseed (M) Tough Nut Nature: Brave Health: 90 Energy: 77 Boosts: None Other: -10% evasion (Nature) Makuhita (M) Sumo Nature: Adamant Health: 60 Energy: 60 Boosts: None Other: Leech Seed (1 action), Faint Attack Disabled (4 actions) Elgyem (M) Starman Nature: Bold Health: 88 Energy: 81 Boosts: +1 Special Attack (1 Round) Other: None Round Three Start! Both battlers are now completely soaked, but seem determined to go on. As thunder rolls, the Pokémon eye one another from across the platform, awaiting their orders... Starman begins to focus on generating his next attack, but is interrupted as Sumo skids forward with a resounding Fake Out! Starman flinches from the shock, but the attack doesn't seem to have done very much damage! Eyes flashing, Starman calls upon his Psychic senses and launches a Psybeam at the exhausted Makuhita! Sumo winces from the attack, but still manages to struggle to his feet! He looks bewildered, folks, and seems to be trying to use Rock Slide! Unfortunately, the airborne platform remains just as devoid of rocks as ever, and the move fails! Pressing his advantage, Starman picks up Sumo with his Psychic senses, and slams the Makuhita into the ground repeatedly! Dazed, Sumo retaliates with a powerful Revenge! However, Starman's Psychic typing allows it to absorb most of the blow! As the round ends, lightning again fails to appear. Sumo seems exhausted, struggling to see through the pouring rain. Starman, smug as a Snivy, meditates and prepares himself for the next round. Calculations Action One: Sumo used Fake Out! RNG roll to crit: (1/16=crit) 4 NO 4 Damage -4 energy Starman flinched! Sumo is hurt by Leech Seed! -3 HP Starman is healed by Leech Seed! +3HP Sumo is freed from Leech Seed! Action Two: Starman used Psybeam! RNG roll to crit: (1/16=crit) 13 NO. RNG roll for confusion: (100>yes) 992 NO. It's super effective! (7+3+1.5)1.5 plus 1.75=19 19 Damage* -4 energy (STAB) Sumo used Rock Slide! But it failed! -6 energy Action Three: Starman used Psychic! RNG roll to crit: (1/16=crit) 3 NO (10+3+1.5)1.5+1.75=23.5=24 It's super effective! 24 Damage* -5 energy (STAB) Sumo used Revenge! RNG roll to crit: (1/16=crit) 6 NO It's not very effective.

Before Sumo can react, Starman, eyes glowing with a cosmic power, shoots a final Psybeam at the exhausted Makuhita! Sumo staggers from the blow, roaring in anger, before falling to the ground, KOed! Eyes flashing in victory, Starman awaits his next foe... Calculations Starman used Psybeam! RNG roll to crit: (1/16=crit) 13 NO. RNG roll for confusion: (100>yes) 992 NO. It's super effective!

Son_of_Shadoo Join Date: Apr 2009 Posts: 2,850 Northern Ireland	This is where I realise I need two things on Starman. Toxic and Light Screen. Psychic >>> Psychic >>> Psybeam If Light Screen is used, replace the current action with Nasty Plot ONCE and move actions down. __________________ CAP ASB Team ASB Referee Profile My Soundcloud 23:53 SevenDeadlySins i hereby appoint MK_Ultra fagmaster general of asb 23:53 MK_Ultra that post comes with ops right 23:53 SevenDeadlySins bops

I'm really sorry for the delay, and thanks for being patient! Pre-round: Benched Ferroseed (M) Tough Nut Nature: Brave Health: 90 Energy: 77 Boosts: None Other: -10% evasion (Nature) Elekid (M) Sparkplug Nature: Naughty Health: 90 Energy: 100 Boosts: None Other: None Elgyem (M) Starman Nature: Bold Health: 74 Energy: 68 Boosts: None Other: None Round Five Start! With one foe down, Starman turns to face his next foe, a determined Elekid named Sparkplug! Sparkplug seems to be enjoying the thunderstorm, bobbing his head in time with each thunder roll. Suddenly, Sparkplug leaps up, drawing energy from the storm clouds, and launches a powerful Thunder Wave at the surprised Elgyem! Starman has become paralyzed! Starman drops to the ground, trying to shake off the paralyzing energy, and manages to lock eyes with Sparkplug! The Elekid howls in anger, but is also paralyzed! That's right, folks, Synchronize has activated! Leaping upright again, Starman fires off a powerful Psychic attack, slamming Sparkplug against the railing! Sparkplug, crouching by the edge of the field, tries to calm himself with a Meditate, but cannot overcome his paralysis! Sensing an opportunity, Starman again uses Psychic forces to send the Elekid skidding! Sparkplug, struggling to his feet, charges forward and slams the Elgyem with a powerful Punch of Thunder! The blow is too much for Starman, who is fully paralyzed! As the round ends, both Pokémon turn to face the storm. Starman, sensing danger, tries to dive out of the way, but it's too late! A crackling bolt of lightning spears the Elgyem where he stands! Calculations Action One: Sparkplug used Thunder Wave! Starman was paralyzed! (25%) Synchronize activated! Sparkplug was paralyzed!
