Modest - Adds * to SpA, Takes * from Att

Type:
Electric - Electric STAB; 50% reduction in paralysis chance from other electrical attacks, perfect accuracy and 30% chance of Protect breaking Thunder during Rain. Superior senses in power plant environments.
Dragon - Dragon STAB; More in touch with legendary or special auras in arenas. Able to use Hyper Beam and Giga Impact without losing focus.

Abilities:
Shield Dust - (Innate) This pokemon has dust covering the outside of its body that prevents opponents secondary effects from taking place (eg burn from Flamethrower). It does not block direct status moves (such as Thunder Wave.)
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.
Sheer Force (DW) - (Innate) This Pokemon has a sturdy exterior that rebuffs the elements, making it immune to damage inflicted by bad weather.

Alright, this looks easy enough, although note that I don't evolve. Zeus hasn't battled as a Duclohm yet.

Anyway,

Taunt => Flamethrower => Flamethrower
IF he uses Protect A1, change to Rain Dance => Taunt => Gale

Yeah, I have a feeling I'll lose based on my luck with the RNG, but it's a gamble I'm game for...

Sleep Powder - Toxic - Venoshock

No Taunt, good damage, all provided I don't end up on the losing end of a 84/16 hit/lose immediately ratio.

(Atheno you need to update your Ducholm, my bro looked over the match and duclohm doesnt learn taunt anymore, also your stats need to be modified to reflect your nature)

Duclohm [Zeus] Male

Alright lets get this started. When Zues triest to use Taunt he scratches his head in confusing owing to the fact that he doesn't know how to taunt! Dustwing then fans his wings to put the dragon to sleep.... and lands quite short of his target.

Zeus then sucks in some air and blows a large amount of fire into Dustwing, damaging him decently. As the fire clears Dustwing, fans his wings once more, this time to poison, hitting him soundly!

After a fit of coughing Zeus lines up another jet of flame hitting Dustwing a second time. Angered (and slightly singed) he whips up some poisonous drops and sends them flying at Zeus, hitting him squarely. Both pokemon finish the round looking a bit worse for the wear.

Well, this doesn't look too bad. Fortunately, in an unfortunate loophole which really should be fixed, he didn't mention SUPER FLAMETHROWER!

Heal Bell => Flamethrower + Flamethrower => Rest

Alright lets get round two started!

Dustwing starts things out with Venoshock whipping up some more posion, and landing a nice blow, Zeus responds by releasing a blue light and chiming with a deep bell like sound from Heal Bell healing his posion!

Dustwing, not to be outdone in the noise department starts creating a very loud very painful Bug Buzz damaging Zeus! Zeus becomes red with rage...and bellows...OH MY he just sent a tidal wave of fire in the form of a gargantuan Flamethrower! it engulfs the poor moth damaging it significantly!

Dustwing comes back from this with another Venoshock, it hits the weary Zeus sending him spinning! Zeus sits down for a quick rest after that spectacular Flamethrower. both pokemon look exsausted. Will the next round end it?

Well, he's just in range of two Flamethrowers! Finish it!

Flamethrower * 3
IF he Disables Flamethrower, substitute Draco Meteor for the rest of the round.

Dustwing braces himself for impact, while Zeus throws yet another flamethrower! (that cant be good on that pokemon)

Dustwing's getting annoyed that he has to keep poisoning Zeus, but Zeus keeping with tradition, uses Flamethrower to try to finish off his foe, who manages to hang on only through extreme force of will

Dustwing whips up a haze of poison and sends this little gift across the arena to Zeus. Zeus puffs up againto send another jet of flame. Both pokemon look awful, bleeding across the field (and the smell of burnt mothballs)

Just gonna say... Endure is very broken. Soooo broken. But in other news, fortuantely Twister > Gust+ Silver Wind combo and takes only 2 Energy! Yay!

Twister => Chill => Twister

Don't check Data Audit? Check.

If it makes you feel better, this is exactly how I felt when I realised that I could have won if I hadn't ignored Endure.
