Abilities:
Run Away: (Innate) This Pokemon is quick on its feet and will evade any field traps and hazards that would harm it (Spikes, Stealth Rock, Toxic Spikes) in an arena.

Pick Up: (Innate) This Pokemon has a natural habit of collecting items. Whenever a hold item (its own or an opponents) is used or knocked onto the ground with a move like Knock Off, this Pokemon will immediately pick up that item without using an action. It can also grab dropped or naturally occuring hold items in arenas.
Skill Link: (Innate) This Pokemon’s skillfull aim makes its multi-hit moves always hit 5 times. The Energy Cost of multi-hit attacks is increased by three (3).

[Yarnus of Bethany]

Just to speed things up, I'll post my actions now

Y!um, soak the coleslaw with your spit, then call a thunderbolt onto the 8th turtle pokemon, and lastly spit on it again. If your food tries to dig out of the way, slap it with your spit-covered tongue.
Muddy Water(coleslaw), Thunderbolt(squirtwig), Muddy Water (cole slaw)
If coleslaw digs, Lick + Muddy water(coleslaw) on A1 or A2, defense curl on A3

Pow!, let's use your new moves: Break the turtles shell until it breaks, screech your battle cry, then punch its newly weakened shell. if it dives counter-strike with all your might.
Brock Break(squirtwig), Screech(squirtwig), Brick Break(squirtwig)
If dive, counter.

[Leethoof]

Yarnus, a couple things just for future reference: Muddy Water hits all opponents (and allies!), and Dive is a special attack, so counter will do nothing.

I'll give an Exp Share to Cole Claw.

Cole Claw: Sandstorm -> Rock Blast Pow! -> X-Scissor Pow!

Squirtwig: Wide Guard -> Waterfall Pow! -> Wide Guard

[Yarnus of Bethany]

The data audit thread says Muddy Water only attacks 3 opponents, not allies, unlike surf and discharge, which hit everyone.

Also, unless I read the data incorrectly, dive is physical. Maybe it was a typo?

But thanks for the help!

[Yarnus of Bethany]

Leethoof, should we get a sub-ref?

[Leethoof]

Nah, let's wait some more. Lou is a good ref, I wouldn't want to give him up :p.

[LouisCyphre]

I'm a good ref with the worst imaginable schedule

Now that I remember this exists, reffing!

[LouisCyphre]

Muddy Water hits all adjacent foes only, and Dive is physical.

Another fun fact: Wide Guard doesn't have an energy cost algorithm, it only ever costs 6 before STAB.

[Leethoof]

Just remember that Cole Claw gets a guaranteed 3 hits on Rock Blast, due to Bug typing description.

Squirtwig: Rock Slide -> Aqua Tail (Pow!) -> Waterfall (Pow!)
IF Pow! is Bouncin in the air, THEN target Yum!.
IF Pow! gets ded, THEN target Yum!

Cole Claw: Rock Blast (Pow!) -> X-Scissor (Pow!) -> Rock Blast (Pow!)
IF Pow! is Bouncin in the air, THEN target Yum!.
IF Pow! gets ded, THEN target Yum!

[Yarnus of Bethany]

Okay, Pow!, it doesn't look like we will win, but let's try to stay alive till next round. Redirect the attacks to your friend for the first action, run away for the second action, then counter-attack the turtle, circumventing its really good defenses.
Bounce (coleslaw), Evasive Agility, Counter (squirtwig)

Yum!, you're in a better position, so let's attack. I hope this isn't considered cheap, but knock off coleslaw's XP share for Pow! to pick up, then disable Rock Blast, then flood them with your spit.
Knock Off (coleslaw), Disable (Rock Blast), Muddy Water

Remember that resistances are *.85,.but it's up to you whether it activates solid rock.

[LouisCyphre]

It just so happens to be my day off tomorrow. You can wait about twelve hours from this post, right?

[Yarnus of Bethany]

I really don't want to be rude or impatient, but when do you think you will be able to ref?

[LouisCyphre]

I would've reffed earlier but I have been terrible. This week should be my last week of being terrible.

Yarvus, please bold your actions next round at the bottom of your post next time so I don't have to tell it from your flavor, as such:

"Alright, Val, time to roast 'em and toast 'em! Alternate between your volts and your fire to really lay down some hurt!"

Valentine - Thunderbolt | Flamethrower | Thunderbolt
If Pokémon uses Move, then Retort.

You don't have to be so formal about it, but don't leave your actions just in the flavor.

Exp. Share functions as long as one of your mons held it at any point in the battle, regardless of if it was lost or gained partway through.

Lastly, you have some really aggravating nicknames. My instincts of typing [/b] directly after a "!" were in full force here.

Pow! begins by leaping into the air, easily avoiding all of the rocks his foes are tossing about. Yum! takes the time to knock Cole Claw's item to the ground for Pow to collect on landing.

Missing no beats, Pow! takes off around the arena again, this time out and around as Cole Claw and Squirtwig pursue with their unconnected attacks. Yum! uses this bought time to make Cole Claw forget Rock Blast.

Cole Claw is tripped up by Yum!'s disabling, leaving him idle as Yum! tries to swap the arena in saliva, finding simply no fluid with which to work. Squirtwig finally collides with Pow!, who returns the impact as best he can.

Now, yarvus gives orders.

[Yarnus of Bethany]

Resistances are only *.85, therefore bounce should do 11*1.5*.85, or 14 damage.

But on to actions: Pow, we can try to stay alive another round, though the muddy water hax was terrib. Fake Squirtwig out, then use your agility to evade attacks, then Bounce down onto coleslaw. If he uses dig on A3, use fire punch instead.

Yum!, use the Muddy Water on the floor to flood the rocks. Then throw flames at the coleslaw. Lastly, repeat the first action ( Muddy Water ) unless either Wide Guard is used or both rocks attack Pow, if the former then Thunder Bolt Sqirtwig, and if the latter then protect pow.

[LouisCyphre]

Actually, there is no 1.5 in that equation, so you deal 9.35 or 9 damage. In ASB, the STAB modifier is +3 damage before weakness and resistance.

[Leethoof]

nitty pickys

---

Lou, Rock Blast A1 should have targeted Licky due to my sub, and Rock Slide should have been at full BAP because it hit only 1 (maybe, i dont actually know on that?). Rock Blast is only Disabled for 4 more actions as well. Also, remember sandstorm damage for all rounds (and reducing T-bolts damage!).

Anyways, time to make ded normal types.

Squirtwig: Protect -> Rock Slide -> Wide Guard

Cole Claw: X-Scissor (Pow!) -> Cross Poison (Yum!) -> X-Scissor (Yum!)

[Yarnus of Bethany]

The 1.5 is from flying being super-effective against bug.
Also, I'd like to order my actions again because you didn't post sandstorm damage.

[LouisCyphre]

Yarvus, that's not how weakness and resistance work. If it were, then Anorith would take *1.005 damage (1.5 * 0.67) from flying-type attacks under normal conditions.

We use both types to determine weakness or resistance before looking for modifiers; therefore your adjusted modifiers are x2.25, x1.5, x1.0, x0.85, and 0.7225.

I will, however, edit in sandstorm damage. That was a rather large oversight on my part.

Leethoof: I'm an idiot; it is redirected. I just somehow got the idea that Yum! was in midair.

edit: Fuck me, Rock Blast misses anyways.

yarvus reorders, then Leethoof reorders.

[Yarnus of Bethany]

All right, whatever. I'll just make sure to include that in the arena description next time.

Fire Punch + Fake Out (coleslaw), cooldown, Fire Punch (coleslaw)
If no protect for squirtwig, then Fake out + Brick Break (squirteig)
If protect for both, chill-Fake out + Brick Break(squirtwig)-cooldown

Yum!
Thunderbolt, Thunder Bolt, Thunder Bolt(all squirtwig)
If squirtwig protects, change action to flamethrower (coleslaw), unless both protect, in which use defense curl. If squirtwig is not protected on A2.and is not diving (combos count), change that action to thunderbolt + thunderbolt. If squirtwig is not protected on A1, use Muddy Water.

[LouisCyphre]

You can't combo three moves. This should be apparent by the lack of triple-combo rulings in the Data Audit.

[Yarnus of Bethany]

Fixed.

[LouisCyphre]

I can't ref this until you give your single-target moves actions. Actually, Leethoof doesn't even get to reorder until you do so.

[Yarnus of Bethany]

I think the targets were pretty obvious but nonetheless I changed them.

[LouisCyphre]

There can never be "pretty obvious". The day you assume someone's targets is the day you get it wrong.

[Leethoof]

I do believe this is the best course of action...

Squirtwig: Flinch ~ Waterfall (Pow!) ~ Aqua Jet (Pow!)

Cole Claw: Cross Poison (Yum!) ~ Mud Sport ~ X-Scissor (Yum!)
IF Pow! is not KOed on A3, THEN target Pow! with X-Scissor.
